본 실험은 조피볼락의 비타민 C 요구량 설정을 위한 실험모델과 실험사료를 개발하고 각 조직 내의 비타민 C 축적량에 따른 영양특성 그리고 그에 따른 요구량을 제시하고자 실시되었다. 실험어는 실험시작 평균체중이 12.6 g인 조피볼락 치어를 사용하였으며, 6개 실험구로 나누어 3반복으로 비타민 C 첨가 농도를 달리한 6개의 반정제 실험사료를 공급하였다. 4주간의 예비사육 (대조구사료 공급)후 8주간의 사육 실험을 실시하였으며, 6가지 실험사료의 비타민 C 농도는 다음과 같다 ; 0 (대조구), 25, 50, 75, 150 and 1500 mg L-ascorbic acid/kg diet ($C_0,\;C_{25},\;C_{50},\;C_{75},\;C_{150},\;and\;C_{1500}$). 증중율과 사료전환효율은 대조구사료를 공급한 실험구가 $C_{150}$과 $C_{1500}$ 사료를 공급한 실험구보다 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). Hematocrit은 대조구사료를 공급한 실험구가 다른 실험구들에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 근육 조직내의 비타민 C 농도는 대조구가 가장 낮아서 $C_{150}$과 $C_{1500}$ 실험구와 유의차를 보였고, 고농도 첨가구인 $C_{1500}$ 실험구가 다른 모든 실험구들에 비해서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 그러나 간, 아가미, 뇌조직의 비타민 C 농도는 $C_{1500}$ 실험구만 다른 실험구에 비해 유의적으로 높을뿐(P<0.05), 다른 실험구들간에는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05), 따라서 조직내의 농도로는 근육에서 4.8 mg AA/kg 이하이면 성장, 사료효율, hematocrit에서의 결핍증상을 발견할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 사료내 비타민 C 요구량은 40 mg AA/kg diet 이상이고, 150 mg AA/kg diet이면 충분할 것으로 생각된다.

Lactobacillus species in the female genital tract are thought to act as a barrier to infection. Several studies have demonstrated that lactobacilli can adhere to vaginal epithelial cells. However, little is known about how the adherence of lactobacilli to vaginal epithelial cells affects the acidity, cell viability, or proliferation of the lactobacilli themselves or those of vaginal epithelial cells. Lactobacillus acidophilus was co-cultured with immortalized human vaginal epithelial cells (MS74 cell line), and the growth of L. acidophilus and the acidity of the culture medium were measured. MS74 cell density and viability were also assessed by counting cell numbers and observing the cell attachment state. L. acidophilus showed exponential growth for the first 6 hr until 9 hr, and the pH was maintained close to 4.0-5.0 at 24 hr after culture, consistent with previous studies. The growth curve of L. acidophilus or the pH values were relatively unaffected by co-culture with MS74 cells, confirming that L. acidophilus maintains a low pH in the presence of MS74 cells. This co-culture model could therefore potentially be used to mimic vaginal conditions for future in vitro studies. On the other hand, MS74 cells co-cultured with L. acidophilus more firmly attached to the culture plate, and a higher number of cells were present compared to cells cultured in the absence of L. acidophilus. These results indicate that L. acidophilus increases MS74 cell proliferation and viability, suggesting that lactobacilli may contribute to the healthy environment for vaginal epithelial cells.

The objective of this study was to develop a model for simulating gastric digestion in the pig. The model was constructed to include the chemical and physical changes associated with gastric digestion such as enzyme release, digestion product removal and gastric emptying. Digesta was collected from the stomach cannula of pigs to establish system parameters and to document the ability of the model to simulate gastric digestion. The results showed that the average pH of gastric digesta increased significantly from 2.47 to 4.97 after feed consumption and then decreased 140 min postprandial. The model described the decrease in pH within the pigs' stomach as $pH_t=5.182e^{-0.0014t}$, where t represents the postprandial time in minutes. The cumulative distribution function of liquid digesta was $V_t=64.509e^{0.0109t}$. The average pepsin activity in the liquid digesta was 317Anson units/mL. There was significant gastric emptying 220 min after feed consumption. The cybernetic dynamic system of gastric digestion was set according to the above data in order to compare with in vivo changes. The time course of crude protein digestion predicted by the model was highly correlated with observed in vivo digestion (r = 0.97; p = 0.0001), Model prediction for protein digestion was higher than that observed for a traditional static in vitro method (r = 0.89; p = 0.0001).

The SMG1 lipase from Malassezia globosa is a newly found mono- and diacylglycerol (DAG) lipase that has a unique lid in the loop conformation that differs from the common alpha-helix lid. In the present study, we characterized the contribution of three residues, L103 and F104 in the lid and F278 in the rim of the binding site groove, on the function of SMG1 lipase. Site-directed mutagenesis was conducted at these sites, and each of the mutants was expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris, purified, and characterized for their activity toward DAG and p-nitrophenol (pNP) ester. Compared with wild-type SMG1, F278A retained approximately 78% of its activity toward DAG, but only 11% activity toward pNP octanoate (pNP-C8). L103G increased its activity on pNP-C8 by approximately 2-fold, whereas F104G showed an approximate 40% decrease in pNP-C8 activity, and they both showed decreased activity on the DAG emulsion. The deletion of 103-104 retained approximately 30% of its activity toward the DAG emulsion, with an almost complete loss of pNP-C8 activity. The deletion of 103-104 showed a weaker penetration ability to a soybean phosphocholine monolayer than wild-type SMG1. Based on the modulation of the specificity and activity observed, a pNP-C8 binding model for the ester (pNP-C8, N102, and F278 form a flexible bridge) and a specific lipid-anchoring mechanism for DAG (L103 and F104 serve as "anchors" to the lipid interface) were proposed.

This paper describes an in-depth analysis on flexural strength of a girder-deck system experiencing a strand debonding damage with various strengthening systems, based on finite element software ABAQUS. A detailed finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed and verified against the relevant experimental data performed by other researchers. The proposed analytical model showed a good agreement with experimental data. Based on the verified FE model, over a hundred girder-deck systems were investigated with the consideration of following variables: 1) debonding level, 2) span-to-depth ratio (L/d), 3) strengthening type, 4) strengthening material thickness. Based on the data above, a new detailed analytical model was developed and proposed for estimating residual flexural strength of the strand-debonding damaged girder-deck system with strengthening systems. It was demonstrated that both finite element model and analysis model could be used to predict flexural behaviors for debonding damaged prestressed girder-deck systems. Since the strands are debonding from surrounding concrete over a certain zone over the length of the beam, the increase of strain in strands can be linked with a ratio ψ, which is L_p/c. The analytical model was proposed and developed regarding the ratio ψ. By conducting procedure of calculating ψ, the ψ value varies from 9.3 to 70.1. Multiple nonlinear regression analysis was performed in Software IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0.1 to derive equation of ψ. ψ equation was curved to be an exponential function, and the independent variable (X) is a linear function in terms of three variables of debonding level (λ), span length (L), and amount of strengthening material (A_s). The coefficient of determinate (R²) for curve fitting in nonlinear regression analysis is 0.8768. The developed analytical model was compared to the ultimate capacities computed by FEA model.

Background. Although there have been a great number of research studies based on the model of uncertainty in illness, few studies have considered the appraisal portion of model. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to test the mediating effect of appraisal in the model of uncertainty in illness. Additionally, this study aimed to examine the relationships among uncertainty, symptom severity, appraisal, and anxiety in patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Methods. This study employed a descriptive correlational and cross-sectional survey design using a face-to-face interview method. Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation within the previous 6 months prior to data collection were interviewed by Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community Form, appraisal scale, Symptom Checklist-Severity V.3, and State Anxiety Inventory. Results. A total of 81 patients with atrial fibrillation were recruited from two large urban medical centers in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.. Symptom severity was the significant variable in explaining uncertainty ($\beta$=0.34). Individuals with greater symptom severity perceived more uncertainty. Uncertainty was appraised as a danger rather than opportunity, and those with greater uncertainty appraised a greater danger (p<.0l). While the appraisal of opportunity had the negative relationship with anxiety (r=-0.25), the appraisal of danger was positively associated with anxiety (r=0.78). The measure of goodness of fit (Q) of the model was .7863, and the significant test (X$^2$) for the Q was statistically significant (df =3, p<.00l). Accordingly, the overall mediating model of uncertainty in illness was proven not to be fit to the empirical data of patients with atrial fibrillation. Consequently, the mediating effect of appraisal was not supported by the empirical data of this study. Conclusion. The findings of this study were discussed in terms of their relevance compared with those of previous studies or theoretical framework and the plausible explanations on study findings. Lastly, in order to expand the present body of knowledge on uncertainty in illness model, recommendations for the future nursing studies were included.

Carbon nano tubes (CNTs)를 흡착제로 사용하여 회분식 실험을 통해 염료 Eosin Y의 흡착특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 CNTs는 비표면적이 $106.9m^2/g$, 기공부피는 $1.806cm^3/g$, 기공직경은 $163.2{\AA}$이었다. CNTs를 이용한 Eosin Y의 흡착실험은 흡착시간, 초기 pH (2~10), 염료 농도(100, 150 및 200 mg/L), 흡착제의 양(0.05~1.0 g)과 온도(293, 313 및 333 K)를 변수로 사용하여 수행하였다. 흡착은 pH와 온도가 낮을수록 잘 이루어졌으며, Langmuir 모델식에 잘 적용되었다. 또한 흡착반응은 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 적용되었으며, 온도가 증가함에 따라 흡착량이 감소하였다. 입자 내 확산 모델 결과는 흡착 과정에서 막확산과 입자확산이 동시에 일어나는 것을 시사해 주었다. 열역학적 해석에 의하면 CNTs에 의한 염료 Eosin Y의 흡착은 자발적이고 흡열특성을 보였다.

Naturally immobilized tannase (tannin acyl hydrolase, E.C. 3.1.1.20) has many advantages, as it avoids the expensive and laborious operation of isolation, purification, and immobilization, plus it is highly stable in adverse pH and temperature. However, in the case of cell-associated enzymes, since the enzyme is associated with the biomass, separation of the pure biomass is necessary. However, tannic acid, a known inducer of tannase, forms insoluble complexes with media proteins, making it difficult to separate pure biomass. Therefore, this study optimizes the production of cell-associated tannase using a "protein-tannin complex" free media. An exploratory study was first conducted in shake-flasks to select the inducer, carbon source, and nitrogen sources. As a result it was found that gallic acid induces tannase synthesis, a tryptose broth gives higher biomass, and lactose supplementation is beneficial. The medium was then optimized using response surface methodology based on the full factorial central composite design in a 3 l bioreactor. A $2^3$ factorial design augmented by 7 axial points (${\alpha}$ = 1.682) and 2 replicates at the center point was implemented in 17 experiments. A mathematical model was also developed to show the effect of each medium component and their interactions on the production of cell-associated tannase. The validity of the proposed model was verified, and the optimized medium was shown to produce maximum cell-associated tannase activity of 9.65 U/l, which is 93.8% higher than the activity in the basal medium, after 12 h at pH 5.0, $30^{\circ}C$. The optimum medium consists of 38 g/l lactose, 50 g/l tryptose, and 2.8 g/l gallic acid.

모양 기반 검색이란 실제 요소 값과 관계없이 질의 시퀀스와 유사한 모양을 갖는 시퀀스(서브시퀀스)를 데이터베이스 내에서 검색하여 내는 연산이다. 본 논문에서는 시계열 데이터베이스에서의 모양 기반 검색을 위한 유연성 있는 새로운 유사 모델을 정의하고, 이 유사 모델을 지원하기 위한 인덱싱 및 질의 처리 방안을 제시한다. 제안된 유사 모델에서는 정규화, 이동 평균, 타임 워핑 등 다양한 변환을 지원한다. 특히 최종 유사 정도를 계산하기 위하여 사용되는$L_p$거리 함수론 사용자가 임의로 지정하도록 함으로써 응용에서 선호하는 유사 모델을 반영할 수 있다. 또한 이러한 모양 기반 검색을 효과적으로 지원하기 위한 압축된 서브시퀀스 트리 구조를 제안하고, 이를 기반으로 하는 효율적인 질의 처리 기법을 제시한다. 실험 결과에 의하면 제안된 기법은 진의 시퀀스와 모양이 유사한 서브시퀀스들을 사용자에 의하여 선택된 거리 함수를 사용하여 성공적으로 검색할 뿐 아니라, 순차 검색과 비교하여 거리 함수 선택에 따라 수 십배에서 수 백배까지의 성능 개선 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.
