The breeding work was initiated by utilizing two Japanese hybrids namely C135${\times}$N134 and N137${\times}$C146 along with two evolved Indian breeds, J14 and A24. The breed CSR16 which is characterized with marked larvae and white dumbbell cocoons was evolved from the Japanese hybrid C135${\times}$N134 by crossing with J14, while the breed CSR17 which is characterized with plain larvae and white oval cocoons was evolved from the Japanese hybrid N137${\times}$C146 by crossing with A24. The hybrid of these evolved breeds i.e., CSR16${\times}$CSR17 has shown superior over control hybrid $KA{\times}{NB_4}{D_2}$ and on par with the ruling hybrid of CSR2${\times}$CSR4. The hybrid CSR16${\times}$CSR17 was authorized during 1999 by Central Silk Board, Bangalore, Government of India for commercial exploitation during favourable months based on national level race authorization test.

The effects of atelectasis on surface activity of lung extracts were examined in rabbits. Experimental atelectasis was produced in rabbits by artificial pneumothorax and surface tension properties were measured on saline extracts of lung 24 hrs, 48 hrs, one week and four weeks after the induction of pneumothorax. The results were as follows; 1) The minimum surface tension of excised lung extracts 24 hrs after pneumothorax was significantly increased to 28.3 0.41 dynes/cm, and the stability index was significantly decreased to 0.30 from normal value of 0. 87. 2) In the group which was re-expanded 24 hours, later from pneumothorax the surface activity was returned to almost normal range 24 hrs after reexpansion of collapsed lung, 3) When the atelectasis was continued by mechanical means, the extracts of atelectatic lung showed progressive decrease in surface activity, but it was found that surface activity returned to normal level after four weeks even the presence of atelectasis. 4) These observations suggest to us that atelectasis per se does not cause an increase in surface tension of lung extracts, and even in prolonged atelectasis the re-expansion of collapsed lung may be possible when the mechanical cause of atelectasis was excluded.

An extracellular PHB depolymerase was purified from P. simplicissimum LAR13 cultural medium by Sepharose CL-6B chromatography. When the fungus was grown in a basal salt medium with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) as the sole carbon source, PHB depolymerase production reached maximum at its stationary phase. The mycelial growth rate was higher at 37$^{\circ}C$ than at 30$^{\circ}C$ and even higher than at 25$^{\circ}C$, However, the enzyme production was lower at 37$^{\circ}C$ than 30$^{\circ}C$ or 25$^{\circ}C$. The isolated enzyme is composed of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular mass of about 36 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The optimum conditions for the enzyme activity are pH 5.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable for 30 min at a temperature lower than 50$^{\circ}C$, and stable at pH higher than 2.0 but it was unstable at pH 1.0.1 mM Fe$\^$2+/ reduced the enzyme activity by 56% and the enzyme was inhibited almost completely by 4 mM Fe$\^$2+/ . The enzyme was partially inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and was very sensitive to diazo-DL-norleucine methyl esters dithiothreitol and mercuric ion. However, N-p - tosyl - L - Iysinechloromethyl ketone, p -hydroxymercuricbenzoate and N- acetylimidazole had no influence upon its activity.

Hydroxylation in the $11{\alpha}$-position of progesterone molecules was carried out using Rhizopus nigricans spores immobilized within various gel matrices, among which polyacrylamide and agar gel were proved to be the most effective. Reactions with the immobilized cells and in­tact free cells showed almost identical conversion rate of progesterone, optimal pH and reaction time for attaining maximal yield, from which were confirmed absence of any decay and modification of enzyme activities.

In order to isolate mutants in Rhizopus nigricans, the optimal treatment conditions for the chemical mutagens, N-Methyl-N'-Nitro-N-Nitrosoguanidine(MNNG) and Ethyl Methane Sulphonate(EMS), were explored. When MNNG was used as the chemical mutagen, the optimum concentration and treatment time for the best mutation frequency were $125{\mu}g/ml$ and 60 minutes, respectively. Under the optimum conditions for MNNG, the survival rate was 0.1-1.0%. The leucine auxotroph could be isolated. The phenotypic characteristics of the three mutants prepared are as follows; shortened sporangiophore, spiral sporangiophore, and reduced size of sporangium and sporangiospore. However, EMS as the chemical mutagen was ineffective for this species.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of alkali treatment on EG solution of polyester/silk union cloth(P/S cloth) . Tensile strength, moisture regain, crease resistance, and reduction ratio of the treated P/S cloth were measured. The results of this study were as follows ： 1) The weight loss of P/S cloth treated with EG solution was three times higher than those of P/S cloth treated with $H_2O$. The weight loss of P/S cloth was increased greatly with increasing concentration of NaOH, temperature, and time. Favorable weight reduction of treating condition could be obtained when lower concentration of NaOH was used with longer time. 2) If it was added $H_2O$ on EG solution, weight loss of polyester increased, while those of silk decreased. In addition, decreasing ratio of tensile strength warp direction (polyester) was lower, while those of weft direction(silk) was higher. 3) Moisture regain of P/S cloth treated with EG solution increased with weight loss up to 10% . Crease resistance of P/S cloth was the highest at weight loss of 10~15%.

The protease produced by a Bacillus pumilus CN8 strain was purified by DEAE-Cellulose-52 ion exchange. It has a molecular weight of approximately 96,920 Dalton. In the present study, this protease showed strong activity over a broad range of pH (6.5-9.5) and temperature from $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$, and the protease performed the maximal activity at pH 7.3 at $42^{\circ}C$. The effect of metal ions on protease activity showed that $K^+$ could slightly increase the protease activity, and other ions such as $Zn^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ had no significant activation or inhibition to the protease (P> 0.05), and the more important is that $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Sn^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$ had a strong inhibitory effect on the protease activity.

본 연구에서는 스포츠 캐주얼 웨어(스노우보드복, 골프복, 등산복 등)로 사용되는 신축성 소재의 개발로 Stretch성을 부여하기 위하여 Nylon 66 POY 소재의 가연가공 기술을 통하여 Mechanical Stretch 성능이 발현되는 소재를 개발하고자 한다. 섬유소재에 일반적으로 신축성을 부여하기 위해서는 Spandex(Polyurethane, PU)를 방적공정에서 복합 제조하는 Core Yarn과 장섬유에 Spandex를 피복하는 Covering Yarn(직물용) 형태가 있는데, Spandex로 인한 신축성은 200~800% 발현되나 PU를 사용함에 따라서 공정추가에 대한 원가상승, 균제도 불량, 몰림현상 및 PU 수축에 의한 중량감이 있으며, 또한 PU에 의한 견뢰도불량, 피복사의 벗겨짐성 등 외관상 트러블 발생빈도가 높다. 이에 따라 Spandex를 사용하지 않고 단일소재로서 사가공기술에 의해 Stretch성이 부여되는 소재를 개발하고 이의 기술을 상용화 하고자 한다. Nylon 66 POY 소재를 Disc 가연기, Pin 가연기 등의 설비를 이용하여 70d급 원사의 가연가공 공정을 진행하였다. 그리고 개발된 원사의 섬도(d), 강도(g/d), 신도(%), 크림프율(%)의 물성 시험을 통하여 Nylon66의 공정상 변화인자에 따른 기본 물성 및 Stretch 발현성을 분석하여 최적의 설비 및 공정조건을 확립하였다.

A distance relay has been widely used for transmission line protection. The distance relay detects a fault based on the calculated impedance i.e. the ratio of the voltage to the current measured from a current transformer (CT) and a coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT), respectively. When a fault occurs and a CT saturates due to the magnitude of fault current, dc component, primary time constant, and the remanent flux of the iron core, the secondary current of a CT is distorted On the other hand, non-fundamental components generated during a fault can increase the error of a CCVT, particularly when a fault distance is short. The distortion of the current and voltage can cause mal-operation or the operating time delay of a distance relay. This paper describes the response of a distance relay considering the errors of a CT and a CCVT. The results indicate that the severe distortion of a CT and a CCVT have noticeable effect to a distance relay.

A protection current transformer (CT) has been widely used for protection devices. When a fault occurs, a CT should provide the faithful reproduction of the primary fault current. However, a CT may saturates due to the magnitude of fault current, dc component primary time constant and the remanent flux of the iron core, and the secondary current of a CT is distorted. The distorted current can cause mal-operation or the operating time delay of a protection relay. This paper provides a modeling of CT saturation using EMTP-RV. The performance of the proposed CT saturation modeling was investigated under various fault conditions varying the fault distance, fault inception angle, and remanent flux of the iron core. The results indicate that the proposed EMTP-RV modeling can operate correctly, and the reasons for CT saturation are verified by EMTP-RV simulations.
