A cellulose acetate electrophoretic survey of Korean Anura has revealed the presence of diverse lactate and malate dehydrogenase isozymes. The LDH and MDH isozymes in the tissues of the brain, heart, stomach, skeletal muscle and liver of the six species of Anura examined show the species specific patterns which differ from those of mammals and birds. Two isozymic forms of LDH and MDH exist in both Rana nigromaculata and Rana nigromaculata coreana, respectively, with almost the same pattern. LDH of Bombina orientalis has five isozymic forms, and that of Rana temporaria ornativentris contains four isozymes. Bufo sp. has 3 to 5, and Rana rugosa has 3 to 4 isozymic bands according to the tissues. MDH's of all animals have two isozymic forms with different spacing on the zymograms.

In determining optimal cutting condition for face milling operation, tool wear is an important factor. For the purpose of establishing the relationship between various machining factors and tool wear, cutting tests have been performed. As a result, hardness and chemical composition of workpiece material, chemical composition and grain size of cutting tool and cutting speed have been selected as machining factors. In addition, relationship between feed rate and workpiece hardness has been observed. Prior to utilizing cutting conditions recommended by ‘Machining Data Handbook(MDH)’ as a knowledge base, an analysis for the validity of the MDH has been provided. Based on this analysis, tool life criteria applied by MDH has been modified. Finally, using MDH recommended data for neural network trainning, the results from the trained neural network for optimal cutting condition for some given workpiece and cutting tool can be used as reference cutting conditions.

Four different polymer compounds were manufactured to make cable sheaths for the shipping industry. Two kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as the main matrix polymers and EVA-grafted maleic anhydride (EVA-g-MAH) as the coupling agent were selected for compounding with fire retardant, crosslinking agent, filler, plasticizer, and other additives. The properties of the four compounded materials were investigated with different contents of the fire retardant, silanecoated magnesium dihydroxide (S-MDH). In the rheology evaluation, the $t_{60}$ and ${\Delta}T$ values increased with increasing S-MDH contents. On the other hand, the tensile strength decreased with increasing S-MDH content due to a relative decrease in binder polymers. With increasing S-MDH content, fire resistance increased, but cold resistance showed no obvious enhancement due to the polar effect of vinyl acetate in EVA.

For the purpose of genetic stock indentification of three species of salmonid fishs and their hybrid, lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), malate dehydrogenase(MDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH), a-gylycerophosphate dehydrogenase(a-GPDH), malic enzyme(ME), 6-phospho-gluconate dehydrogenase(6-PGD), phosphoglucose isomerase(PGI) and phospho-glucomutase(PGM) from skeletal muscle, liver, heart and gill tissues in all three species were analyzed. Chum and masu salmon showed no polymorphic patterns in all isozyme loci, however rainbow trout were found to have polymorphic patterns at MDH-B, LDH and IDH loci. Especially, significant differences were found at MDH-B loci between the three species and the IDH patterns of rainbow trout were also different from the other two species. These loci therefore can be utilized as efficient genetic markers for the identification of hybrids and improve the efficiency of fish breeding. There was no difference except PGI between diploid and triploid isozyme patterns but PGI showed some potential as a marker for triploid in masu salmon.

A mannitol dehydrogenase (StMDH) gene was cloned from Salmonella typhimurium LT2 (KCTC 2421) and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. It has a 1,467 bp open reading frame encoding 488 amino acids with deduced molecular mass of 54 kDa, which shares approximately 36% of amino acid identity with known long-chain dehydrogenase/reductatse (LDR) family enzymes. The recombinant StMDH showed the highest activity at $30^{\circ}C$, and pH 5.0 and 10.0 for D-fructose reduction and D-mannitol oxidation, respectively. On the contrary, it has no activity on glucose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose. StMDH can catalyze the oxidative/reductive reactions between D-fructose and D-mannitol only in the presence of $NAD^+$/NADH as coenzymes. These results indicate that StMDH is a typical $NAD^+$/NADH-dependent mannitol dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.67).

Methylophaga sp. strain SK1 is a new restricted facultative methanol-oxidizing bacterium that was isolated from seawater. The aim of this study was to characterize the electron carriers involved in the methanol oxidation process in Methylophaga sp. strain SK1. The gene encoding cytochrome $c_L$ (mxaG) was cloned and the recombinant gene was expressed in Escherichia coli $DH5\alpha$ under strict anaerobic conditions. The recombinant cytochrome $c_L$ had the same molecular weight and absorption spectra as the wild-type cytochrome $c_L$ both in the reduced and oxidized forms. The electron flow rate from methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) to the recombinant cytochrome $c_L$ was similar to that from MDH to the wild-type cytochrome $c_L$. These results suggest that recombinant cytochrome $c_L$ acts as a physiological primary electron acceptor for MDH.

Two cytosol malate dehydrogenase allelomorphs are found in the Dark Chub, Zacco temmincki, a freshwater fish inhabiting Korean waters. Mdh-1MM(hereafter referred to as A-type) is distributed along the south and southeastern parts of Korea, whereas the B-type(Mdh-1MS) is found everywhere except the southeast. Several syrnpatric populations can be found in the southern areas with no hybridization between them. The pattern of geographic distribution would indicate that A-type is superior adaptation to colder water temperature; this is collaborated by evidence collected from a sympatric length of the Tongchon stream, Namhae. The relative warmth of the water along this portion of the stream's length was determined its altitude and the time of year. Frequency of B-types found was directly proportional to the relative warmth of the water and inversely proportional to the nurnber of A-types found in the sarne station. Current data tends to suggest that the B-type of Zacco temrnincki first differentiated from Zacco platypus approximately one million years ago (Yang et al., 1984) while A-type subsequently branched from B-type 300,000 years later(Yang and Mm, 1987) through a progressive adaptation toward colder temperature.

The present study was conducted to compare the relative efficiency of four different breeding methods in tobacco varietal development. A single Fl hybrid plant from cross of two flue-cured cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum L Bright Yellow 4(BY4) and NC95, was selfed. F2population above cross was screened for resistance against bacterial wilt caused by Pseudommonas solanacearum E.F.Smith under the naturally infested field conditions, and the 30 lines were developed from F2 individual plant by anther culture (ADH), maternal method utilizing Nicotiana afpicana (MDH), single- seed descent(SSD) and Bulk breeding method, respectively. All characters except content of total alkaloids of ADH and MDH which wore bred by haploid methods reduced more than that of lines bred by conventional methods(SSD & Bulk) : however, the yields were 8% lower than other lines. The total alkaloid content of ADH was higher than that of MDH, and yield was reduced about 4n even though the number of leaf was identical with the MDH. All other characters of ADH were also reduced significantly. In the lines bred by conventional methods, population developed by SSD showed significantly wider leaf width, shorter plant height, later days to flower, and lower in percent reducing sugar than those by Bulk. The populations derived from haploid method showed greater phenotypic variance and wider range of variation than conventionally developed ones. The results obtained indicate that selection will provide a significantly greater genetic gain for leaf number and leaf length in the ADU and MDH populations, and for plant height and days to flower in the SSD and Bulk populations.

The fire resistive materials are used to resist from fire accidents in the building. In this study silicone rubber/inorganic flame retardant composites were prepared by mechanical stirring method, using aluminium trihydroxide(ATH, $Al(OH)_3$) and magnesium dihydroxide(MDH, $Mg(OH)_2$) as synergistic fire-resistant additives. The thermal properties of the fire resistant composites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). In addition, rheological properties were observed by rheometer and fire-resistant properties were tested by gas torch. Through this study, we realized that the silicone rubber containing ATH, MDH increased the performance of fire-resistance.
