  • A function of the kidney is elimination of a variety of xenobiotics ingested and wasted endogenous compounds from the body. Organic anion and cation transport systems play important roles to protect the body from harmful substances. The renal proximal tubule is the primary site of carrier-mediated transport from blood into urine. During the last decade, molecular cloning has identified several families of multispecific organic anion and cation transporters, such as organic anion transporter (OAT), organic cation transporter (OCT), and organic anion-transporting polypeptide (oatp). Additional findings also suggested ATP-dependent organic ion transporters such as MDR1/P-glycoprotein and the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) as efflux pump. The substrate specificity of these transporters is multispecific. These transporters also play an important role as drug transporters. Studies on their functional properties and localization provide information in renal handling of drugs. This review summarizes the latest knowledge on molecular properties and pharmacological significance of renal organic ion transporters.

  • A frontal offset impact model Oat can simulate the 40% offset frontal impact into deformable barrier regulated in EU Directive 96/79 EC has been developed. Engine rotation effects are also considered in the model. Distributed 11 masses and characteristics of 23 nonlinear springs comprising the model are determined based on both the stick-model analysis under the general specification of car and the dynamic characteristics of car structure. It is demonstrated that simulated acceleration-time curve for passenger part is in good agreement with test data obtained by NHTSA.

  • A black leg disease in wasabi occurred, showed black spots on the leaves, changed a rhizome color to black by invading the vascular bundles of stem and root, thus lowered the quality of the rhizome. The mycelium of the pathogen was yellow at first and then turned to dark yellow on oat meal agar medium. The pycnidium was globose or subglobose, dark brown in color, and 44~120$\times$28~170 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size and had one or two ostioles on the upper part. The pycnidiospores are single-celled, hyaline, and 4~6$\times$1.2~2.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. The causal pathogen was identified as Phoma wasabiae. The black leg disease of wasabi occurred within the range of 28 to 32% at Chonbuk province in 1994~1995. The disease was appeared from April to October and severe in June and July. The black leg caused by P. wasabiae was first described in Korea.

Effect of Water Potential on Mycelial Growth and Sporangial Formation by Pythium spp. (Water Potential이 Pythium속(屬) 균(菌)의 균사(菌絲) 신장(伸長)과 Sporangia 형성(形成)에 미치는 효과(效果))

  • The mycelial growth of Pythium graminicola, P. ultimum, P. rostratum was best at -3 osmotic potential. P. monospermum was best grown at -8 bars osmotic potential. Mycelial growth by Pythium spp. was prevented at -42 bars for P. graminicola, P. ultimum and P. monospermum. Sporangial formation by P. graminicola and P. ultimum was influenced by water potential in much the same way as mycelial growth: -3 bars was maximum and -42 bars or below was minimal. Pythium spp. tested was grown faster on PDA than other media including oat meal agar. P. ultimum was best grown on any media among Pythium spp. tested.

  • This study attempts to make an observation on the problems and prospects for overseas agricultural investment(OAI) through the insights of farming and farmed companies abroad and through secondary data. OAI mainly aims at the securing steady supplies of crops, which could be anticipated to have increased foreign dependence, and to prepare for crop price fluctuations in the international markets. These functions of OAT are classified with the public and private sector. The public sector needs are largely crops supply for national food consumption and bilateral collaboration between nations. The private sector needs are to gain maximum profits from agricultural investments and to produce raw material for self-consumption in overseas farming companies. The problems in OAI are legal and institutional restrictions in the project area or nation; generally economical unfeasibility in the farm projects, and technical limitations of the farming companies. The prospects of OAI are not very promising. The reason why those many companies which previously planned on OAI changed their investment plans after what is called IMF system with financing difficulties.

  • The endoxylanase (642 bp; 213 amino acids) and ${\beta}-xylosidase$ (1,602 bp; 533 amino acids) genes from Bacillus sp. were amplified by PCR and separately inserted downstream of the yeast ADH1 promoters, resulting in the pAEDX-1 and pAEX plasmid. When the yeast transformants, S. cerevisiae SEY2102 harboring pAEDX-1 or pAEX, were grown on YPD medium, the total activities of the enzymes reached about 9.8 unit/mL for endoxylanase and 2.9 unit/mL for ${\beta}-xylosidase$. When the three kinds of xylan from oat spelts, birch wood, and corncob were hydrolyzed by treatment of recombinant endoxylanase and ${\beta}-xylosidase$, it was found that xylose, xylobiose and xylotriose were produced and xylose was the major product after 12 h reaction. In addition, with the higher amount of enzymes, the more amount of xylose was produced.

  • The objective of the present study is to develop a new device that the viscous characteristics of fluids are determined by applying the unsteady flow concept to the traditional capillary tube viscometer. The capillary tube viscometer consists of a small cylindrical reservoir, capillary tube, a load celt system oat measures the mass flow rate, interfacers, and computer. Due to the small size of the reservoir the height of liquid in the reservoir decreases as soon as the liquid in the reservoir drains out through the capillary and the mass flow rate in the capillary decreases as the hydrostatic pressure in the reservoir decreases resulting in a decrease of the shear rate in the capillary tube. The instantaneous shear rate and. driving force in the capillary tube are determined by measuring the mass flow rate through the capillary, and the fluid viscosity is determined from the measured flow rate and the driving force.

  • In this paper, performances of different ultra-wideband (UWB) modulation schemes in the presence of timing jitter are evaluated and compared. Static and Rayleigh fading channels are considered. For fading channels, Oat and dispersive channels are assumed. First, bit error rate (BER) performances for each case are derived for a fixed value of timing jitter. Later, a uniform distribution of jitter is assumed to evaluate the performance of the system, and the theoretical results are verified by computer simulations. Finger estimation error is treated as timing jitter and an appropriate model is generated. Furthermore, a worst case distribution that provides an upper bound on the system performance is presented and compared with other distributions. Effects of timing jitter on systems employing different pulse shapes are analyzed to show the dependency of UWB performance on pulse shape. Although our analysis assumes uniform timing jitter, our framework can be used to evaluate the BER performance for any given probability distribution function of the jitter.
