Objectives: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the effects of community-based social distancing interventions after the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case in Turkey on the course of the pandemic and to determine the number of prevented cases. Methods: In this ecological study, the interventions implemented in response to the first COVID-19 cases in Turkey were evaluated and the effect of the interventions was demonstrated by calculating the effective reproduction number (R_t) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coro navirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) when people complied with community-based social distancing rules. Results: Google mobility scores decreased by an average of 36.33±22.41 points (range, 2.60 to 84.80) and a median of 43.80 points (interquartile range [IQR], 24.90 to 50.25). The interventions caused the calculated R_t to decrease to 1.88 (95% confidence interval, 1.87 to 1.89). The median growth rate was 19.90% (IQR, 10.90 to 53.90). A positive correlation was found between Google mobility data and R_t (r=0.783; p<0.001). The expected number of cases if the growth rate had not changed was predicted according to Google mobility categories, and it was estimated to be 1 381 922 in total. Thus, community-based interventions were estimated to have prevented 1 299 593 people from being infected. Conclusions: Community-based social distancing interventions significantly decreased the R_t of COVID-19 by reducing human mobility, and thereby prevented many people from becoming infected. Another important result of this study is that it shows health policymakers that data on human mobility in the community obtained via mobile phones can be a guide for measures to be taken.

The alkaline serine protease asp, which was shown to be a virulence factor of Vibrio alginolyticus as a purified protein, was cloned from V. alginolyticus EPGS, a strain recently isolated from moribund Epinephelus coioides in an outbreak of vibriosis in a mariculture farm of Shenzhen. The asp null mutant was constructed by homologous recombination with suicide plasmid pNQ705-1. Compared with the wild-type strain, the asp null mutant exhibited a significant decrease of total extracellular protease activity, and caused a IS-fold decrease in virulence of V. alginolyticus. In our previous study, the luxO and $luxR_{val}$ genes from V. alginolyticus MVP01 were cloned and identified, and the luxO-$luxR_{val}$ regulatory couple was shown to regulate various genes expression, suggesting that it played a central role in the quorum sensing system of V. alginolyticus. In this study, the regulation of the asp gene was analyzed by using RT-PCR and quantitative real-time PCR methods; we proved that its transcription was greatly induced at the late stage of growth and was regulated by a luxO-$luxR_{val}$ regulatory system.

본 연구에서는 내경 5.0mm 원관을 납작하게 한 납작관에 대하여 R-410A를 사용하여 증발열전달 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 포화온도를 $15^{\circ}C$로 고정한 상태에서 열유속을 $5{\sim}15kW/m^2$, 질량유속을 $200{\sim}400kg/m^2s$로 변화시키며 수행되었다. 실험결과 납작관의 종횡비가 증가할수록 열전달계수와 압력손실 모두 증가하였는데 특히 종횡비 4 인 경우 증가폭이 현저하였다. 납작관의 실험결과를 기존 상관식들과 비교한 결과 열전달계수는 Shah 상관식, 마찰계수는 Jung and Radermacher 상관식이 적절히 예측하였다.

가스 크로마토그래피(GC)와 가스 크로마토그래피(HPLC)를 이용하여 imidazoline계 양이온 계면활성제 분석을 수행하였다. 염기 가수분해와 산 가수분해 후 GC로 imidazoline ring의 original fatty acid의 alkyl chain 분포를 조사하였다. 역상 C18 분리관을 사용하고 0.1M $NaClO_4$가 함유된 methanol과 acetonitrile의 50:50(v/v)액을 용리액으로 할 때 imidazoline의 homologous한 total alkyl chain 분포가 HPLC에서 훌륭하게 분리되었으며, GC 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여주었다. 본 연구의 분석법으로, imidazoline계 양이온 계면활성제의 소수성 alkyl chain 분석 및 평균 분자량 결정이 가능하였으며, 전처리 필요없이 HPLC법을 이용한 imidazoline 의 검출한계는 10ng이었다.

Studies on the distribution and growth of the mud mussel, Musculista senhousia, were carried out in the mud-tidal flat near Mokpo from August 1996 to July 1997. The patch distribution of the mussel was observed in the middle part of the tidalflat during the study period. Annual mean density was 8,215${\pm}$1,394 ind./m2 and annual mean biomass was 1,966.43${\pm}$668.49 g TWwt/m2 in total wet weight, 760.04${\pm}$279.13 gMWwt/m2 in meat wet weight, 209.93 ${\pm}$ 49.41 gMDwt/m2 in meat dry weight, and 109.66${\pm}$58.78 gAFDW/m2 in ash-free dry weight. The monthly mean size of shell length varied from 11.00 mm to 16.97 mm. Relationship between shell length (SL) and shell height (SH) showed a positively significant regression (SH=0.482SL+0.791, R2=0.940, P<0.001). Regressions of total wet weight (TWwt) (TWwt=7.601${\times}$10-5SL3.052, R2=0.905, P<0.001), and meat wet weight (MWwt) (MWwt=1.127${\times}$10-5${\times}$SL3.404, R2=0.784, P<0.001) on shell length were positively allometric, with highly significant correlation coefficient. The relationships between SL and meat dry weight (MDwt), and AFDW were MDwt=9.813${\times}$10-6${\times}$SL2.928 (R2=0.421), and AFDW=1.015${\times}$10-5${\times}$SL2.922(R2=0.810), respectively. The condition factor of the mussel has been increased from March and formed a peak in July and August. It was sharply dropped in September. These results suggest that the gonadal development of the species commenced to be occurred in spring and that main spawning occurred between August and September.

In this research, the measuring method and the measuring concept of stress intensity factor of isotropic material by SPATE are suggested. The validity of the method and the concept was certified through SPATE experiment.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays a pivotal role in embryonic development and adult homeostasis. However, we have limited information about the involvement of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the lymphatic vascular system that regulates fluid homeostasis by absorbing interstitial fluid and returning it to blood circulation. In this recent publication we report that canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is highly active and critical for the formation of lymphovenus valves (LVVs) and lymphatic valves (LVs). β-catenin directly associates with the regulatory elements of the lymphedema-associated transcription factor, FOXC2 and activates its expression in an oscillatory shear stress (OSS)-dependent manner. The phenotype of β-catenin null embryos was rescued by FOXC2 overexpression. These results suggest that Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a mechanotransducer that links fluid force with lymphatic vascular development.

Iron intake and nutritional status of 99 female college students of Chungnam Natiional Unive-rsity were estimateed with dietary survey and measurement of hematological indices including the level of serum ferritin Food intake was measured using the weighing method and iron availability per meal was calculated according to Monsen and Hallberg. The average daily intakes of protein vitamin C. total iron and also total available amount of iron were higher than the Korean R.D.A. The blood indices for iron status however showed that iron status of the subjects was inade-quate. Furthermore the serum ferritin levels indicated marginal iron storage in 75% of the subjects.
