  • This paper addresses a two-stage flexible flow shop scheduling problem in which there is one machine in stage 1 and two identical machines in stage 2. The objective is the minimization of the total completion time. The problem is formulated by a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) and a hybrid simulated annealing (HSA) is proposed to solve the MIQP. The HSA adopts the exploration capabilities of a genetic algorithm and incorporates a simulated annealing to reduce the premature convergence. Extensive computational tests on randomly generated problems are carried out to evaluate the performance of the HSA.

  • Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds have recently been attracting attention as a new high-value-added food material owing to their excellent nutritional properties, and research on the development of functional food materials using hemp seeds is actively progressing. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant properties of hemp seed protein hydrolysates. Protein hydrolysates were prepared from defatted hemp seed powder (HS) by enzymatic hydrolysis using five different proteases (alcalase, bromelain, flavourzyme, neutrase, and papain). 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) assay and SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that HS showed a high degree of hydrolysis after treatment with each enzyme except papain. The total polyphenol content of the protein hydrolysates (<3 kDa) and the RC50 values obtained from two different antioxidant tests showed that alcalase hydrolysate (HSA) had a relatively high level of antioxidant capacity. In addition, treatment with HSA (25-100 ㎍/mL) significantly inhibited linoleic acid peroxidation. These results suggest that hemp seed protein hydrolysates are potential sources of natural antioxidants. Future studies will focus on the identification of active peptides from HSA.

  • Scrub typhus의 발현증상에는 저알부민혈증, 단백뇨, 전신 부종 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나, 저알부민혈증에 비해 단백뇨와 부종 등은 심하지 않은 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 저알부민혈증이 장내에서의 단백질 소실에 의한 것인지를 확인하고자 하였다. Scrub typhus가 의심되는 25명의 환자를 대상으로 (1) 저알부민혈증의 원인 장내 단백질 소실에 의한 것인지 여부와 (2) $^{99m}Tc$-HSA 신티그램의 진단적 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 신티그램은 혈청학적 검사상 Scrub typhus로 확인된 18명의 환자에서 (13예는 항생제 치료 개시후 1일에서 8일 사이에, 5예는 치료 전에 시행하였으며, 11예에서는 대변에서 alpha-1- antitrypsin (${\alpha}AT$)배설 여부를 확인하였다. 촬영방법은 $^{99m}Tc$-HSA 30mCi를 정맥 주사한 후, 2, 4, 6, 24시간에 복부 전면상을 얻었다. 판정은 소장과 대장의 주행 위치에서의 혈관외 방사능 소견을 장내 단백질 소실로 간주하였다. 13예에서 양성으로 판정하였는데, 이중 8예는 대변에서의 ${\alpha}AT$치도 높게 나왔다. 신티그램상 음성을 보인 5예중 2예에서는 대변중 ${\alpha}AT$치가 매우 높게 나왔는데 그 이유는 신티그램 검사는 치료 도중에 하였고, 대변 검사는 치료 전에 하였기 때문인 것으로 간주하였다. 결론적으로 전체 18예중 15예에서 신티그램이나 대변검사로 Scrub typhus로 진단하였다. 한편, 13예 (72%)에서 저알부민혈증을 보였는데 이중 4예는 장내단백질 소실과 단백뇨를, 5예는 장내단백질 소실만을, 3예에서는 단백뇨만을 보였고, 1예는 아무 소견이 없었다. 요약하면, 장내단백질 소실 소견은 Scrub typhus환자의 83%에서 보여, 혈중 알부민치가 저하되는 원인으로 추정된다. 따라서 $^{99m}Tc$-HSA 신티그램은 장내단백질 소실의 진단에 매우 유용한 검사방법이다. 또한, 검사방법이 다소 어렵지만 대변에서의 ${\alpha}AT$측정도 동위원소 검사상 음성 소견을 보이는 환자에게는 어느 정도 진단에 도움을 주리라 보여진다.

  • Anterior abdominal scintigraphy after intravenous injection of $^{99m}Tc$-human serum albumin ($^{99m}Tc$-HSA 20 mCi) was done in 16 patients with connective tissue diseases and 15 healthy control patients. Patients with proteinuria or hepatopathy were excluded. 1) 7 (44%) patients among 16 connective tissue disease patients without the apparent evidence of external protein loss showed abnormal intestinal accumulation of albumin. 6 patients with positive albumin scintigraphy showed bypoalbuminemia. 2) There was no false positive scintigraphic finding in control group. 3) The serum albumin level in connective tissue disease patients ($3.1{\pm}0.6 g/dl$, n=16) was lower than control patients ($3.9{\pm}0.3 g/dl$, n=15) (p<0.0001). 4) The serum albumin level was lower in connective tissue disease patients with positive $^{99m}Tc$-HSA scan ($2.8{\pm}0.6 g/dl$, n=7) than the connective tissue disease patients with negative scan ($3.3{\pm}0.3 g/dl$, n=9) (p<0.05). 5) The hemoglobin level in connective tissue disease patients with positive nan ($10.6{\pm}2.91 g/dl$) was lower than that of the control group ($13.6{\pm}1.5 g/dl$) (p<0.05). Mypoalbuminemia is frequently involved in chronic connective tissue diseases. Protein losing enteropathy (PLE) is also responsible for the majority of the bypoalbuminemia in these patients. But it has been ignored because the conventional method for the diagnosis of PLE was difficult to perform. $^{99m}Tc$-HSA scan also must be validated by more extended study and comparison with the quantitative study such as stool ${\alpha}-1$ antitrypsin measurement. There must be a reevaluation of PLE in various diseases especially in connective tissue diseases with easy, fast, economical, and non-invasive method.

  • Experiments were accomplished to reduce the extent of proteolysis by simply controlling the culture conditions instead of the gene manipulation techniques. L-arginine and L-lysine were chosen as a protease inhibitor analogue With the assumption that they might act as the potential inhibitors against proteases involved in the rHSA proteolysis. The addition of arginine and lysine resulted in a considerable positive effect on the secreted rHSA production level.

  • HDD가 비동작중 외부충격을 받았을 경우에 대해 수치해석을 이용하여 HSA(head stack ass'y)의 거동과 헤드가 디스크 면에서 멀어지는 Lift-off level을 고찰하고, actuator의 arm blade(primary system)의 끝단에 보조의 구조물(auxiliary system)을 붙여 반사인파의 가속도입력에 의해 발생되는 HSA의 진폭을 감소시키고 내충격성능을 향상시키고자 한다. 보조 구조물의 형태와 재료는 arm blade의 공진과 연계한 공진주파수의 최적화과정에 의해 결정된다. 실제 제품의 취급에서 가장 쉽게 발생할 수 있는 0.5ms의 duration time으로부터 제품의 성능평가 요건인 2ms의 duration time까지의 반사인파의 입력에 대한 응답을 고찰한 결과 보조의 구조물을 가졌을 경우 주 시스템보다 훨씬 높은 충격에서 헤드의 lift-off이 발생되어 전체 시스템의 내충격성능을 향상시킴을 알 수 있다.

  • The strength and regulatory characteristics of the heat-inducible HSA1, HSA2 and TPS1 promoters were compared with those of the well-established, carbon source-regulated FMD promoter in a Hansenula polymorpha-based host system in vivo. In addition, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived ADH1 promoter was analysed. While ADH1 promoter showed to be of poor activity in the foreign host, the strength of the heat shock TPS1 promoter was found to exceed that of the FMD promoter, which at present is considered to be the strongest promoter for driving heterologous gene expression in H. polymorpha.
