To investigate the desirable index for evaluation of frozen surimi's grades, the relationship between indices for grading of surimi, such as ATPase activity $(Ca^{2+}-,\;Mg^{2+}-\;and\;EDTA-)4, solubility, viscosity and K-value of frozen surimi and jelly strength of kamaboko was studied. The myofibrillar $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ activity and solubility from frozen surimi of grades SA, FA, A, RA and B gave values of $1.184\pm0.2,\;0.956\pm0.14,\;0.766\pm/0.07,\;0.453\pm0.07\;and\;0.227\pm0.08$(umoles Pi/min/mg) for $Ca^{2+}-$ATPase activity and $93.19\pm5,\;84.62\pm4,\;70.63\pm5,\;41.21\pm4\;and\;32.82\pm4(\%)$ for solubility, respectively. Therefore, the myofibrillar $Ca^{2+}-$ATPase activity and solubility of surimi were closely related to the jelly strength of kamaboko from same material, as the correlation coefficient were 0.9584 and 0.9849, respectively. K-value, the index of freshness, was related to the jelly strength of frozen surimi as the correlation coefficient 0.9053 and shown as SA $15.67\pm1.4,\;FA\;14.94\pm 3,\;A\;28.00\pm5,\;RA\;32.16\pm3\;and \;B\;48.68\pm 5(\%)$. $Mg^{2+}-$ and EDTA-ATPase activity and viscosity were not related to the jelly strength. The $Ca^{2+}-$ATPase activity and solubility were found to be useful index for evaluating the quality of frozen surimi.

In this study, the characteristics of $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{2.5-10}$ concentrations were identified in two different functional areas including Chuncheon and Youngwol, Korea. Even though the anthropogenic emission rates of $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ are approximately four times higher in Youngwol than in Chuncheon their atmospheric concentrations were statistically higher in Chuncheon. In Chuncheon, both $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations and the ratio of $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ increased as relative humidity (RH) increased possibly because the inorganic and/or organic secondary aerosols were actively formed at high RH. This result was also supported by that $PM_{2.5}$ concentration was enhanced under the fog and mist conditions in Chuncheon. On the other hand, both $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{2.5-10}$ concentrations clearly increased with the southerly winds blown from the cement production facility in Youngwol. In addition, high $PM_{2.5-10}$ concentrations were observed with high wind speed, low relative humidity, and high $NO_2$ concentrations in Youngwol, suggesting that $PM_{2.5-10}$ was generated through the physical process including crushing and packing procedures followed by resuspension from cement and lime factory.

The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of retinal diseases in dogs presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seoul National University from April 2004 to December 2005. Sixty-five dogs (120 eyes) with retinal diseases involving blindness were included in this study. Age, breed, and gender data for all breeds were collected from medical records documenting vision loss. Generalized progressive retinal atrophy (gPRA) was the most common manifestation. Other prevalent findings included sudden acquired retinal degeneration (SARD) and retinal detachment (RD). Bilateral gPRA was found in 32 dogs with a female-to-male ratio of 1 : 1. The mean $age{\pm}SD$ of all dogs in this group was $4.66{\pm}2.30$ years with a range of 3 to 12 years. Breeds with highest prevalence of gPRA were Miniature Schnauzer (24/32, $mean{\pm}SD$ age: $3.79{\pm}0.78$ yr) and Poodle (2/32, $6.50{\pm}0.71$ yr). Twelve dogs (24 eyes) were diagnosed with SARD bilateraly, ranging from 3 to 13 years of age ($mean{\pm}SD:\;6.91{\pm}2.61$ yr). There were no abnormalities in fundus of 11 dogs at presentation. Electroretinography (ERG) without anesthesia was performed in 7 dogs, and all response was totally extinguished. Retinal detachment was identified in 21 dogs (32 eyes): 11 bilateral and 10 unilateral (7 right eye, 3 left eye). The most common breed was Shih Tzu (15/21, $mean{\pm}SD$ age: $4.39{\pm}3.24$ yr). Four other breeds comprised the remaining 6 cases (8 eyes). The everall mean age of the group was: $4.18{\pm}2.89$ years (range 0.8 to 14 years) with a female-to-male ratio of 1 : 1.1 (10 females, and 11 males).

Objectives : The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence by gender and to evaluate associations of depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances in a large sample of adolescents from the general population. Methods : 1422 subjects, aged 14 years students were recruited in the seven middle-school of the local community. The self-report questionnaire(Children's Depression Inventory : CDI, Beck Anxiety Inventory : BAI and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index : PSQI) was used for screening depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances in adolescent. CDI, BAI, and PSQI score was categorized into the following quartiles : $\leq$21, 22-25, 26-28, and $\geq$29 ; $\leq$21, 22-26, 27-31, and $\geq$32 ; $\geq$5, <5. The cut-off score is that CDI is 22, BAI is 22 and PSQI is 5. The result was analyzed using the independent t-test, the chi-square test and logistic regression analyses. Results : The mean CDI score($12.52{\pm}8.32$ vs. $10.39{\pm}7.52$ ; p=0.003), BAI($7.77{\pm}7.93$ vs. $9.84{\pm}9.04$ ; p<0.001) and PSQI($4.57{\pm}2.67$ vs. $3.64{\pm}2.30$ ; p=0.013) of girls were significantly higher than for boys. But, boys in the fourth quartile of CDI(CDI$\geq$29) and BAI(BAI$\geq$32) were at significantly elevated risk for sleep disturbances more than for girls after adjustment for sex, history of psychiatric treatment(CDI odd ratio, 14.66 ; 95% CI, 4.17-51.53, BAI odd ratio, 32.99 ; 95% CI, 4.26-255.39). Conclusion : The results suggest that high CDI, BAI score appears to increase the risk for developing sleep disturbances in boys more than girls.

The objective of the investigation was to study the effect of intramuscular $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ and GnRH on estrus behavior and ovarian response in Murrah buffalo heifers. Twelve Murrah buffalo heifers at 32 months of age that had not exhibited behavioral estrus symptom were included in the experiment. Out of 12,4 heifers were in follicular phase (plasma estradiol $57.05{\pm}12.52pg/ml$), another 4 heifers were in luteal phase (Plasma progesterone $2.24{\pm}0.25ng/ml$) while the ovaries of remaining four heifers were inactive (estradiol $23.70{\pm}1.66pg/ml$and progesterone $0.32{\pm}0.06ng/ml$). $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ (25 mg, Lutalyse, im) and GnRH (200 ug, Fertagyl, iv) was administered to each heifer at interval of 10 days. The plasma progesterone concentration decreased within 48 hrs after $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ injection and followed thereafter with follicular growth, estrus and ovulation. GnRH administration induced follicular growth, elevation of plasma estradiol concentration with subsequent exhibition of behavioral estrus in 2 out of 4 heifers having inactive ovary. The observation reveals that Murrah buffalo heifers at 32 months of age have developed receptors for $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ and GnRH on ovarian and pituitary tissue respectively and response the single injection of $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ and GnRH similar to the mature cycling animals.

There are various papers on finding all the derivations of a non-associative algebra and an anti-symmetrized algebra (see [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [10], [13], [15], [16]). We and all the derivations of the growing algebra WN($e^{{\pm}x_1x_2x_3}$, 0, 3)[1] with the set of all right annihilators $T_3$ = $\{id,\;\partial_1,\;\partial_2,\;\partial_3\}$ in the paper. The dimension of $Der_{non}$(WN($e^{{\pm}x_1x_2x_3}$, 0, 3)$_{[1]}$) of the algebra WN($e^{{\pm}x_1x_2x_3}$, 0, 3)$_{[1]}$ is one and every derivation of the algebra WN($e^{{\pm}x_1x_2x_3}$, 0, 3)$_{[1]}$ is outer. We show that there is a class P of purely outer algebras in this work.

Reactions of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives by [Ru$^{IV}$(tpy)(dcbpy)(O)]$^{2+}$ (tpy = 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine; dcbpy = 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) leading to the corresponding benzaldehydes in acetonitrile and water have been studied. Kinetic studies show that the reaction is first-order in both alcohol and oxidant, with k = 1.65 (${\pm}$ 0.1) $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ at $20^{\circ}C$, ${\Delta}H^{\ddag}$ = 4.3 (${\pm}$ 0.1) kcal/mol, ${\Delta}S^{\ddag}$ = -22 (${\pm}$ 1) eu, and $E_a$ = 4.9 (${\pm}$ 0.1) kcal/mol. High ${\alpha}$ C-H kinetic isotope effects are observed, but O-H solvent isotope effects are negligible. Spectral evidences with the isotope effects suggest that oxidation of benzyl alcohols occurs by a two-electron, hydride transfer. The catalytic cycles of aerobic benzyl alcohol oxidation are employed.
