  • In order to develop chitosanase for the production of chitosan oligosaccharides, a chitosanase-producing bacterium was isolated from the traditional fermented soybean, Meju, and identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciene MJ-1. The cloned chitosanase gene, 825 bp in size, encoded a single peptide of 274 amino acids with a estimated molecular mass of 30.9 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence showed significant homology with microbial chitosanases. The recombinant chitosanase was expressed in Escherichia coli upon induction with isopropyl-D-thiogalactopyranoside, and purified using $Ni^{2+}-NTA$ agarose column chromatography. The maximal activity of the recombinant chitosanase is at pH 5.0 and $60^{\circ}C$. The recombinant chitosanase is stable between pH 5.0 and pH 7.0 at $37^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and more than 75% of the activity still remain at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min incubation.

  • The physical oceanographic investigations in Kwang Yang Bay, were carried out for seven times from May 1974 to May 1975. The results of this survey show that the salinity of the bay water is generally lower than that of the adjacent sea water, and mean surface salt ni ty in March and July were 20.8-25.2\ulcorner and 31. 8-32. 5\ulcorner. The month with the minimum surface water temperature was January with $2.5~5.2^{\circ}C:$ the maximum monthly value was $ 23.8-24.2 ^{\circ} C$ in September. The surface water temperature were related to the heat budget at the sea surface in the bay water, the degree of relationship was good. The mean vertical stability in the bay water(0-10m)were 297XI0^{-6} in July and -IXto^{-6} in January. The computed vertical stability indicate that the vertical mixing could move down to the depths of 15m during late autumn and winter, but the rest of season hardly take place to the depths of tom.

  • This C-ring test, normally employed for evaluating susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking, was determined to be a suitable small scale test to evaluate PWHT(Post-Weld Heat Treatment) cracking susceptibility. This test is possible to incorporate an actual weld, to introduce a notch into the coarse grained HAZ(Heat Affected Zone), to load the coarse grained HAZ any level of stress ad, most importantly, since the C-ring is an approximately constant strain type test, the stress decreases with time at temperature in a manner similar to that of an actual steel weldment. The procedure employed in making the C-ring was presented in the experimental procedure section, however, several points deserve further discussion. The walls of the weld groove are made along radial lines form the center of th var in order to obtain an HAZ which is oriented perpendicular to the walls of the machined C-ring. Therefore, the plane of maximum stress will be aligned through the HAZ and, therefore, crack propagation will not be forced to deviate form the plane of maximum stress in order to remain in the coarse grained HAZ as is the case with the Y groove test.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of the EGFR mRNA expression in the rat gingival epithelium by the experimental tooth movement. We applied reciprocal force between the upper anterior teeth using NiTi open coil spring and stainless steel wire for 1, 2 3, 7 days. For the detection of EGFR mRNA, in situ hybridization was done in the tissue samples which were taken from the pressure and tension sides of teeth. The results were as follows ; 1. The expression of EGFR mRNA was increased application-time dependently. a. Day 1 mild expression on the basal and spinous cell layers b. Day 2 . moderate expression on the whole layers c. Day 3 : severe expression on the basal and spinous cell layers 4. Day 7 severe expression on the whole layers 2. The expression level of EGFR mRNA in the pressure and tension sides were similar during the whole Period of experiment except seven day application at which the cornified layer of the tension side showed moderate expression. 3. Removal of the appliance after 7-day force application lowered the level of EGRF mRNA expression. It was returned to the mild and control (rare) level at three and seven days after the removal, respectively. In conclusion, EFGR mRNA was increased by the experimental tooth movement on the rat ginigval epithelium. Up-regulation of EGFR mRNA in the gingival epithelium can be regarded as responses to the possible changes caused by the physical stersses to the oral environment to maintain the homeostatic conditions of the periodontium.

  • To analyze the hazards associated with cucumber and hot pepper cultivation areas, a total of 72 samples were obtained and tested to detect the presence of biological (sanitary indicative, pathogenic bacteria and fungi) and chemical hazards (heavy metals and pesticide residues). The levels of sanitary indicative bacteria (aerobic plate counts and coliforms) and fungi were ND-7.2 and ND-4.8 log CFU/(g, mL, hand, or $100cm^2$) in cucumber cultivation areas, and ND-6.8 and 0.4-5.3 log CFU/(g, mL, hand, or $100cm^2$) in hot pepper cultivation areas. More specifically, the soil of hot pepper cultivation areas was contaminated with coliforms at a maximum level of 5.6 log CFU/g. Staphylococcus aureus was detected only in glove samples at a level of 1.4 log CFU/$100cm^2$ and Bacillus cereus was detected in the majority of samples at a level of ND-4.8 log CFU/(g, mL, hand, or $100cm^2$). Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella spp. were not detected. Heavy metal (Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Hg) chemical hazards were detected at levels lower than the regulation limit. Residual insecticides were not detected in cucumbers; however, hexaconazole was detected at a level of 0.016 mg/kg (maximum residue limit: 0.3 mg/kg) in hot peppers.

  • In order to obtain high-level production of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in insect cell line, HTI-TN-5B1-4 (TN5), conditions for optimal rhTPO expression such as multiplicity of infection (MOI), the cell density at infection, harvesting time and type of culture method as well as growth media were determined. When TN5 cells were cultured as anchorage-dependent state in 60-mm dish, cell density $2\times^6$ cells,MOI of 10 and Garvesting the culture media at 72 hr post-infection wrere the cinditions for highest rh TPO production. High production of rhTPO was also achieved by using EXPRESS FIVE serum free media rather than SF900II serum free media-1. Anchorage-dependent TN5 cells were adapted as a suspension culture when they were grown in the presence of heparin. TN5 cells were successfully cultured at 0.2 L scale in suspension culture without having aggregation. When TN5 cells were cultured as suspension state, cell density of $0.6\times10^6$ cells/mL, MOI of 1 and harvesting the culture media at 72 hr post-infection, gave the highest yield of rhTPO.

  • 초고주파 집적회로의 핵심소자로 각광을 받고 있는 GaAs MESFET(MEtal-emiconductor)은 게이트 형성 공정이 가장 중요하며, WNx 내화금속을 이용한 planar 게이트 구조의 경우 임계전압(Vth:threshold voltage)의 균일도가 우수할 뿐만 아니라 특히 Side-wall을 이용한 self-align 게이트는 소오스 저항을 줄일 수 있어 고성능의 소자 제작을 가능하게 한다.(1) 본 연구의 핵심이 되는 Side-wall을 형성하기 위하여 PECVD법에 의한 SiOx 박막을 증착하고, 건식식각법을 이용하여 SiOx side-wall을 형성하였다. 이 공정을 이용하여 소오스 저항이 낮고 임계전압의 균일도가 우수한 고성능의 self-aligned gate MESFET을 제작하였다. 3inch GaAs 기판상에 이온주입법에 의한 채널 형성, d.c. 스퍼터링법에 의한 WNx 증착, PECVD법에 의한 SiOx 증착, MERIE(Magnetic Enhanced Reactive Ion Etcing)에 의한 Side-wall 형성, LDD(Lightly Doped Drain)와 N+ 이온주입, 그리고 RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing)를 사용하여 활성화 공정을 수행하였다. 채널은 40keV, 4312/cm2로, LDD는 50keV, 8e12/cm2로 이온주입하였고, 4000A의 SiOx를 증착한 후 2500A의 Side-wall을 형성하였다. 옴익 접촉은 AuGe/Ni/Au 합금을 이용하였고, 소자의 최종 Passivation은 SiNx 박막을 이용하였다. 제작된 소자의 전기적 특성은 hp4145B parameter analyzer를 이용한 전압-전류 측정을 통하여 평가하였다. Side-wall 형성은 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상의 패턴크기에서 수직으로 잘 형성되었고, 본 연궁에서는 게이트 길이가 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$인 MESFET을 제작하였다. d.c. 특성 측정 결과 Vds=2.0V에서 임계전압은 -0.78V, 트랜스컨덕턴스는 354mS/mm, 그리고 포화전류는 171mA/mm로 평가되었다. 특히 본 연구에서 개발된 트랜지스터의 게이트 전압 변화에 따른 균일한 트랜스 컨덕턴스의 특성은 RF 소자로 사용할 때 마이크로 웨이브의 왜곡특성을 없애주기 때문에 균일한 신호의 전달을 가능하게 한다. 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$$\times$100$\mu\textrm{m}$ 게이트 MESFET을 이용한 S-parameter 측정과 Curve fitting 으로부터 차단주파수 fT는 40GHz 이상으로 평가되었고, 특히 균일한 트랜스컨덕턴스의 경향과 함께 차단주파수 역시 게이트 바이어스, 즉 소오스-드레스인 전류의 변화에 따라 균일한 값을 보였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 Side-wall 공정은 게이트 길이가 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$까지 작은 경우에도 사용가능하며, WNx self-align gate MEESFET은 낮은 소오스저항, 균일한 임계전압 특성, 그리고 높고 균일한 트랜스 컨덕턴스 특성으로 HHP(Hend-Held Phone) 및 PCS(Personal communication System)와 같은 이동 통신용 단말기의 MMICs(Monolithic Microwave Integrates Circuits)의 제작에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Samples collected from six tomato farms(A, B, C : soil culture, D, E, F : Nutriculture) located in Gyeongsangnam-do were tested for the analyses of biological(sanitary indications, major foodborne pathogens, fungi), chemical(heavy metals, pesticides) and physical hazards. The highest levels of total bacteria(7.5 log CFU/g) and coliforms(5.0 log CFU/g) in soil culture farms were higher than those of nutriculture farms(total bacteria: 2.5 log CFU/mL, coliforms: 0.6 log CFU/mL). In crops and personal hygiene soil culture farms showed a slightly higher contamination levels. From all farms, the levels of fungi in soil farms were higher than those of nutrient solution. In case of major pathogens, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus were detected in all sample with the exception of nutrient solution. Meantime, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, E.coli O157 and Salmonella spp. were not detected. For airborne bacteria, soilculture farms showed less contamination than nutriculture farms. A piece of glass and can was confirmed asphysical hazards. Heavy metal(Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, Hg, Zn, Ni and As) and pesticide residues as chemical hazards were detected, but their levels were lower than the regulation limit. These results demonstrate that potential hazards on harvesting stage of tomato fam were exposed. Therefore, proper management is needed to prevent biological hazards due to cross-contamination, while physical and chemical hazards were in appropriate levels based on GAP criteria.

  • The Objective of this study was to design the model which predict the future cash flow of hospitals and on the basis of designed model to support sound hospital management by the prediction of future cash flow. The five cash flow measurement variables discussed in financial accrual part were used as variables and these variables were defined as NI, NIDPR, CFO, CFAI, CC. To measure the cash flow B/S related variables, P/L related variables and financial ratio related variables were utilized in this study. To measure cash flow models were designed and to estimate the prediction ability of five cash flow models, the martingale model and the market model were utilized. To estimate relative prediction outcome of cash flow prediction model and simple market model, MAE and MER were used to compare and analyze relative prediction ability of the cash flow model and the market model and to prove superiority of the model of the cash flow prediction model, 32 Regional Public Hospital's cross-section data and 4 year time series data were combined and pooled cross-sectional time series regression model was used for GLS-analysis. To analyze this data, Firstly, each cash flow prediction model, martingale model and market model were made and MAE and MER were estimated. Secondly difference-test was conducted to find the difference between MAE and MER of cash flow prediction model. Thirdly after ranking by size the prediction of cash flow model, martingale model and market model, Friedman-test was evaluated to find prediction ability. The results of this study were as follows: when t-test was conducted to find prediction ability among each model, the error of prediction of cash flow model was smaller than that of martingale and market model, and the difference of prediction error cash flow was significant, so cash flow model was analyzed as excellent compare with other models. This research results can be considered conductive in that present the suitable prediction model of future cash flow to the hospital. This research can provide valuable information in policy-making of hospital's policy decision. This research provide effects as follows; (1) the research is useful to estimate the benefit of hospital, solvency and capital supply ability for substitution of fixed equipment.
