The present electropalatographic study reports the production of the allophones. i.e., [l] and [r], of Korean tap /r/ and their coarticulatory characteristics in /$C{\'{a}}r#g$/ and /$C{\'{a}}r#i$/ sequences. The finding that tap /r/ involves a complete oral closure with less lingual contact, i.e., apico-frontalveolar coupling. than lateralized /r/ which involves apico-bladealveolar coupling and tongue dorsum lowering for adequate airflow through either side and/or both of the tongue body suggests that the two allophones of the tap /r/ have different lingual gestures. Moreover. in comparison with the tap. the lateral exerts longer lingual contacts. The mean ratio between them is 3.7. In the sequences /Car#g/. the two adjacent antagonistic segments (i.e., /r/ and /g/) show mutual coarticulation effects taking on features of adjacent segment. but either of them is precisely constrained without blocking the formation of involved major lingual gestures for the other segment. In sequences /Car#i/ occurs anticipatory V-to-C coarticulation but not vocalic carryover effects. In both sequences. the allophones reveal insignificant wordinitial consonantal carryover coarticulatory effects and insignificant speaker-specific lingual contacts.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of Mixture of Yukgunja-tang and Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen (YTBCL) on the change of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in rats, and further to determine the mechanism of action of YTBCL. The results in rats were as follows ; YTBCL 25 ${\mu}l$ significantly decreased rCBF and MABP compared with basal condition. YTBCL 100 ${\mu}l$ significantly increased rCBF compared with basal condition, but decreased MABP compared with basal condition. YTBCL 50 ${\mu}l$ significantly increased rCBF compared with basal condition, but MABP was somewhat decreased compared with basal condition. The VTBCL 50 ${\mu}l$-induced increase in rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue (10 ${\mu}g$/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase and indomethacin (1 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. The YTBCL 50 ${\mu}l$-induced decreased MABP significantly increased by pretreatment with methylene blue but was inhibited by indomethacin. This results were suggested that the mechanism of YTBCL was mediated Dy guanylate cyclase.

A simple system to measure the correlated color temperature ($T_c$) and color rendering index ($R_a$) oflight sources was developed. And the T, and R, of incandescent lamps (I/L) and various fluorescent lamps(F/L) were measured with varying source voltage and power frequency. As results, $T_c$ variations of I/L and F/L with varying source voltage were relatively large, but $R_a$, variations were small. And $T_c$, $R_a$, variations of F/L under 5OkHz of power frequency were small, but over 50kHz, it is supposed that $T_c$, and $R_a$, will vary significantly.

Here we examined the expression patterns and regulation of seven photosynthesis (PS) genes (puf, puc, puhA, bchC, bchE, bchF, and bchI) in the anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, based on lacZ reporter gene assay. Expression of the tested PS genes, except puhA and bchI, were strongly induced in R. sphaeroides grown under anaerobic conditions relative to that under aerobic conditions. The puhA and bchI genes appear to form the operons together with bchFNBHLM-RSP0290 and crtA, respectively. Expression of the puf, puc, and bchCXYZ operons in R. sphaeroides grown photosynthetically was proportional to the incident light intensity, whereas that of bchFNBHLM(RSP0290-puhA) was inversely related to light intensity. Expression of bchEJG was lowest under medium-light photosynthetic conditions $(10\;W/m^2)$ and highest under high light conditions $(100\;W/m^2)$. The regulation of PS genes by the three major regulatory systems involved in oxygen- and light-sensing in R. sphaeroides is as following: puf and bchC are regulated by both the PpsR repressor and the PrrBA two-component system. The puc operon is under control of PpsR, FnrL, and PrrBA system. Expression of bchE is controlled by FnrL and PrrBA two-component system, whereas bchF is regulated exclusively by PpsR. It was demonstrated that the PpsR repressor is responsible for high-light repression of bchF and that FnrL might be involved in perceiving the cellular redox state in addition to sensing $O_2$ itself.

The shore attachment of jet in a cross flow is analysed by experiments and dimensional analysis. The jet flow is discharged with the same depth as that of the cross flow through a side channel perpendicular to the cross flow through a side channel perpendicular to the cross flow. For a momentum jet, nondimensional attachment length and height are dependent on nondimensional characteristic length $I_m/W$. For a buoyant jet, nondimensional attachment length is affected by $I_b/I_md$ and nondimensional temperature distribution is a function of $x/I_b$ and they all can be predicted as power laws. The shore attachment condition can be specified by velocity ratio R.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) were caused by localized hypersensitivity reaction to an allergen. Therefore, to reduce inflammatory response of AD had been developed that natural extracts and oils with anti-inflammatory activities. This study were investigated that anti-inflammatory effects of Malva verticillata L. oil induced by LPS with RAW 264.7 cells. We measured to production of NO and expression of COX-2, iNOS, TNF-${\alpha}$ by RT-PCR. The Malva verticillata L. oil had decreased the production of NO (p<0.05) and the mRNA level of iNOS in concentration dose dependent manner. In conclusion, this study have shown here may be of help to understand the action mechanism of the anti-inflammatory and we hope that Malva verticillata L. oil used in skin diseases such as AD.

Let M be a left R-module and R be a ring with unity, and $S=\{0,2,3,4,{\ldots}\}$ be a submonoid. Then $M[x^{-s}]=\{a_0+a_2x^{-2}+a_3x^{-3}+{\cdots}+a_nx^{-n}{\mid}a_i{\in}M\}$ is an $R[x^s]$-module. In this paper we show some properties of $M[x^{-s}]$ as an $R[x^s]$-module. Let $f:M{\rightarrow}N$ be an R-linear map and $\overline{M}[x^{-s}]=\{a_2x^{-2}+a_3x^{-3}+{\cdots}+a_nx^{-n}{\mid}a_i{\in}M\}$ and define $N+\overline{M}[x^{-s}]=\{b_0+a_2x^{-2}+a_3x^{-3}+{\cdots}+a_nx^{-n}{\mid}b_0{\in}N,\;a_i{\in}M}$. Then $N+\overline{M}[x^{-s}]$ is an $R[x^s]$-module. We show that given a short exact sequence $0{\rightarrow}L{\rightarrow}M{\rightarrow}N{\rightarrow}0$ of R-modules, $0{\rightarrow}L{\rightarrow}M[x^{-s}]{\rightarrow}N+\overline{M}[x^{-s}]{\rightarrow}0$ is a short exact sequence of $R[x^s]$-module. Then we show $E_1+\overline{E_0}[x^{-s}]$ is not an injective left $R[x^s]$-module, in general.

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) on the herbicidal activities against in-vitro pre-emergence rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) by new 5-benzofuryl-2-[1-(alkoxyimino)alkyl]-3-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one derivatives were studied quantitatively using comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methodology. The optimized CoMSIA model(A5: $r^2_{cv.}=0.569$ & $r^2_{ncv.}=0.941$) for rice plant exhibited a good correlation with steric (31.6%) and hydrophobic (39.7%) factors of the substrate molecules, and the model (B4: $r^2_{cv.}=0.569$ & $r^2_{ncv.}=0.941$) for barnyardgrass exhibited a good correlation with electrostatic (46.7%) and H-bond acceptor field (30.8%), respectively. The predicted $R_1=SF_5,\;R_2=R_3=R_4=H(P1)$ substituent (Rice plant: $pI_{50}=4.84$ & Barnyardgrass: $pI_{50}=7.21$, ${\Delta}pI_{50}=2.37$) by the model (B4) not only exhibited to the highest herbicidal activity against barnyardgrass, but also exhibited to the highest selecticity between two plants.

Purpose: This study examine the functioning level and quality of life (QoL) of people with non-specific neck pain and neck pain with radiculopathy using the neck disability index (NDI), functional rating index (FRI), and short form of health survey 36 (SF-36) and each of linked lCF code lists of those scales. Methods: Each item of the NDI, FRI, and SF-36 were linked conceptually to the ICF code, and the lCF code lists of those scales were produced as iNDI, iFRI, and iSF-36, respectively. Seventy-nine patients with neck pain filled the instruments and its linked ICF code lists. The subjects were divided into two groups based on the diagnosis, non-specific neck pain (Group1), and neck pain with radiculopathy (Group2). A group comparison was performed using an independent t-test. The Pearson correlation coefficient was also used to analyze the relationships between each scale and the linked ICF code list. Results: The participants in Group 2 experienced more difficulties in their daily activities than those in Group 2 when examined in NDI and FRI (p<0.05). This result was also found consistently in the ICF code lists, iNDI and iFRI (p=0.05). On the other hand, the QoL did not show a difference between groups (p=0.06). A strong correlation was observed between the instruments and linked ICF code lists: NDI and iNDI (r=0.90), FRI and iFRI (r=0.91), and SF-36 and iSF-36 (r=-0.61). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the concept of each item in NDI and FRI could be linked to the ICF codes when examining patients with neck pain, but the items of SF-36 were found to be linked and expressed in ICF.
