We point out an error in the Table 2.3.2 of International Tables of X-Ray Crystallograhy Vol. IV(1974). The equivalent reflections of the point group 422 should be hkl=hkl=hkl=hkl=hkl=khl=khl=khl.

Antibacterial activities of magnolol (MGL) and honokiol (HKL) in combination with four representative antibiotics-amoxicillin (AMPC), oxytetracyclin (OTC), gentamicin (GM) and chloramphenicol (CAP)-were evaluated against four bacterial strains. When tested by disk-plate method, five out of eight combinations such as HKL-AMPC, HKL-CAP, MGL- AMPC, MGL-OTC, and MGL-CAP showed additive to synergistic interaction against gram- negative bacterium Salmonella typhimureum. Of these, MGL-AMPC combination turned out to be antagonistic against Sarcina lutea and Bacillus thurungiensis. Against these two grain-positive bacteria, only HKL-GM combination showed additivity to synergism. All the other combinations showed no interactions. Despite these results, however, no synergism was observed in checkerboard titration assay.

Two experimental methods have been developed for high resolution measurement of x-ray scattering. The methods used were (1) an x-ray double crystal diffraction (DCD) spectrometer set-up and (2) an x-ray triple crystal diffraction (TCD) spectrometer set-up. With the DCD arrangement of Si(511)-sample(hkl), rocking curves have been plotted for Si (333), Si(004) and GaAs(004). Also, with the TCD arrangement of Si(111)-Si(111)-Si(511)-sample(hkl) including monolithic monocro-collimator and $K_{\alpha1}$ selector, rocking curves have been plotted for Si(333), Si(004) and GaAs(004). The results of FWHM by DCD and TCD set-up have been compared each other and discussed. The reflection topographs (004) and (115) in an $In_{0.037}Ga_{0.0963}As/GaAs$ sample have been obtained by DCD set-up.

Microstructure-dependent changes in the crystalline properties of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) was investigated using various EVAs at different VA contents via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The parameters analyzed herein were percentage crystallinity (X_c), interplanar crystal spacing (d_hkl), crystal stack size (D_hkl), and the number of crystal plane piles (N_hkl). The X_cs of [110] and [200] crystals were 21.0-4.1 and 6.7-1.4%, respectively, and they decreased by approximately 2.3 and 0.7% for every mol% of the VA content, respectively. The X_c ratios of the [110] and [200] crystals were approximately 3. The d₁₁₀s and d₂₀₀s values were 0.41-0.42 and 0.37-0.38 nm, respectively. The D₁₁₀s and D₂₀₀s values were 9.56 -21.92 and 7.00-16.42 nm, respectively. The d_hkls increased with an increase in the VA content, whereas the D_hkls decreased. The N₁₁₀s and N₂₀₀s were 22.7-51.3 and 18.3-43.2, respectively, and they decreased by increasing the VA content. EVA with the same VA content showed different crystalline properties as per the suppliers, and some EVAs deviated from the average trends. This could be explained by the difference in their microstructures such as the sizes and distribution uniformity of the ethylene sequences in EVA chains.

Long terminal repeats (LTRs) of the human endogenous retrovirus K family (HERV-K) have been found to be coexpressed with sequences of genes closely located nearby. We examined transcribed HERV-K LTR elements in human brain tissue. Using cDNA synthesized from mRNA of the human brain, we performed PCR amplification and identified ten HERV-K LTR elements. These LTR elements showed a high degree of sequence similarity (92.4-99.7%) with the human-specific LTR elements. A phylogenetic tree obtained by the neighbor-joining method revealed that HERV-K LTR elements could be divided into two groups through evolutionary divergence. Some HERV-K LTR elements (HKL-B7, HKL-B8, HKL-B10) belonging to the group II from human brain cDNA were closely related to the human-specific HERV-K LTR elements. Our data suggest that HERV-K LTR element are active in the human brain; they could conceivably play a pathogenic role in human diseases such as psychosis.

실격자(real lattice)에서 이차원적인 (hkl)면의 총 집합이 역격자(reciprocal lattice)에서 한 개의점(點)으로 나타내어지며 원점에서 이 역격자점을 이은 vector의 방향은 (hkl)면의 방향이다. 따라서 두 역격자 vectors간의 각도가 결정학적 두 면간의 각도이므로 이들 각도들을 계산해보면 역격자의 개념을 이해하는데 도움이 된다. 이 논문에서는 6개의 실격자 상수 a, b, c, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$를 사용하여 두 결정학적 면 ($h_1k_1l_1$)과 ($h_2k_2l_2$)간의 각도를 계산하는 한 computer program 'InterplanarA'를 소개하였다.

The transition metal salt doped solid polymer electrolyte [TSPE] were prepared with HPMC as a host polymer. The virgin and doped films were prepared by solution-casting method and investigated using wide angle X-ray scattering method. Micro structural parameters like lattice strain (g%), stacking/twin faults, the average number of unit cells counted in a direction perpendicular to the Bragg's plane (hkl) spacing of (hkl) planes dhkl, crystallite size Ds, distortion width, standard deviation were determined by whole pattern powder fitting (WPPF) method, which is an extension of single order method. It is found that the crystallite size decreases with the increase in the content of $FeCl_3$. This decrease is due to increase in localized breaking of polymer network which also accounts for the amorphous nature of the material. The filler inorganic salt $FeCl_3$ acts as plasticizer. FTIR study also confirms and justifies the interaction between the polymer and in-organic salt in the matrix. Physical properties like mechanical stability and Ac conductivity in these films are in conformity with the X-ray results.

Vector Moving Preisach model has been applied to the unoriented Co-based alloy thin film media. In the model, the out-of plane easy axis distribution of the particles was derived directly from the texture coefficient phkl obtained from XRD analysis, which corresponds to the fraction of the grains that have the {hkl} plane lying parallel to in-plane direction. The model was validated, by its prediction of a variety of responses, including major loop, minor loop, and the angular dependence of coercivities.

The 1M and $2M_1$ stacking sequences are the most frequently encountered in the illite species among the possible 6 polytypes. The $1M_d$, derived from the 1M polytype which exhibits a variable degree of disorder in the stacking sequence, is also observed in illite samples. In this paper, the author introduces and reviews the theoretical background of the quantitative analysis method of illite polytypes, and considers the possibility to determine the fault age and its reactivation age using K/Ar age-dating based on the quantification of illite polytypes in the fault system. For the increase of the accuracy and precision of the illite age analysis method, the occurrence, identification, and mineralogical characterization of illite polytypes should be defined in detail. The broadening effect of (hkl) reflections, due to disordering of 1M polytype and the presence of I/S minerals with expandability, are also considered as the main parameters controlling the quantification of illite polytypes using the WILDFIRE(C)simulation.

The cDNA, encoding human lysozyme (HLY) which was isolated from a human placenta cDNA library, has been well characterized (Yoshimura et al., 1988). Based on the communication, we have prepared an artificial HLY gene from chemically synthesized 38-oligomer with high codon usage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For directing the synthesis and secretion of HLY in S. cerevisiae, an expression vector, pHKl was constructed by inserting the HLY gene, containing a synthetic HLY secretion signal sequence, between the yeast GAP promoter and PH05 terminator. From a lysoplate assay, we have confirmed an yeast transformant harboring a pHK1 which makes a clearing zone on the overlayed Micrococcus luteus. This result means a chemically synthesized HLY gene which was normally expressed and secreted in yeast.
