2-Hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (2-HMS) dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of 2-HMS to 4-oxalocrotonate, which is a step in the meta cleavage pathway of aromatic hydrocarbons in bacteria. A tomC gene that encodes 2-HMS dehydrogenase of Burkholderia cepacia G4, a soil bacterium that can grow on toluene, cresol, phenol, or benzene, was overexpressed into E. coli HB 101, and its gene product was characterized in this study. 2-HMS dehydrogenase from B. cepacia G4 has a high catalytic efficiency in terms of V$_{max}$K$_{max}$ towards 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-muconic semialdehyde followed by 2-HMS but has a very low efficiency for 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. However, the enzyme did not utilize 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-hepta 2,4-dienoic acid and 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid as substrates. The molecular weight of 2-HMS dehydrogenase from B. cepacia G4 was predicted to be 52 kDa containing 485 amino acid residues from the nucleotide sequence of the tomC gene, and it exhibited the highest identity of 78% with the amino acid sequence of 2-HMS dehydrogenase that is encoded in the aphC gene of Comamonas testosteroni TA441. 2-HMS dehydrogenase from B. cepacia G4 showed a significant phylogenetic relationship not only with other 2-HMS dehydrogenases, but also with different dehydrogenases from evolutionarily distant organisms.sms.

Objective : The purpose of the study is to find out how group sensory integrative (SI) intervention enhances play skill and social interaction of the children with sensory integration disorders. Method : Three children who were showing problems related in sensory integration received 12 SI intervention sessions. The Sensory Profile (SP) and The Social Maturity Scale (SMS) were accomplished by the subject's primary caregiver. Test of Playfulness (ToP) and Peer Social Interactions Rating Scale (PSIRS) were utilized to investigate the children's play skills and social interactions with their friends. Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) is applied to assess the children's play skill, social interactions with peer, and sensory processing at each session. Data was collected before- and after the intervention and analyzed by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test with SPSS/WIN version 10.0 and Microsoft Excel. Results : The average scores of ToP, PSIRS, and SMS were increased after the sensory integrative intervention. However, there is no significant difference in the play skills and social interactions between data of pre-intervention and the one of post-intervention. The score of the GAS was frequently increased in terms of the play skills and sensory processing throughout the whole sessions. Conclusions : This study reveals a possibility of that the group sensory integrative intervention may affect not only sensory processing ability, but also play skills and social interactions of children experiencing difficulties of sensory processing. Future research should supplement limitations of this study regarding insufficient number of the subject and the short period of the experiment.

This dissertation investigated the evaluation model of IT Service quality: concentrated on the quality components in mobile communication service. Today, mobile communication service is changing dramatically. The first and second generation's mobile communication services were designed for voice and SMS(Short Message Service). However, while the mobile communication industry grows, the mobile technology made more services available for customers. Customers' changing needs brought a new opportunities to the market. Now, mobile communication service is facing a new era as multi-functioning, multimedia service, and high speed data transfer service are being introduced. There has been a lot of theoretical literature on service quality components of mobile communication, but most of the literature was focused on the voice service and SMS(1st and 2nd generation). As mobile communication service evolves, the components may have to be altered or rebuilt. To identify which service quality components ought to be utilized, prior studies on service quality components, service quality, and customer satisfaction were reviewed. Also, a survey was conducted on the various aspects of mobile communication service. This study suggests 6 components of service quality: those are supporting facilities, cellular phone(facilitating goods), quality of the voice service(explicit service), supplementary services, supporting services, and cost. Empirical results supported that all of these components are proven as the service quality components, but, with regards to customer satisfaction, only cellular phone(facilitating goods) and supplementary services are effective. As previously stated, the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction is also proven. This study is a point of departure for the success of upcoming generation's mobile communication service. It identifies what is valuable from the customer's point of view. Furthermore, it suggests some ideas to prepare for future market opportunities.

국내의 다목적댐 저수지는 물이 흐르는 하천에 용수공급, 홍수조절 및 수력발전을 위해 만든 구조물로 형성된 저류상태를 의미한다. 이러한 수체의 유동에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소로는 유입수와 저수지에서 하천으로 방류되는 방류수이므로 본 연구에서는 유입수와 방류수에 의한 수체의 유동만을 고려하였다. 대상지는 용담댐 유역중 취수탑이 있는 지점으로 길이는 약 1,250m이고 폭은 평균 375m 정도의 크기를 갖고 있는 지형이다. 대상 지역에서 저수지 수체의 흐름특성을 평가하기 위해 SMS-RMA2 모형을 적용하였으며 용담댐 저수지 구역에 대한 1m 간격의 등고선을 가지고 대상지역에 대하여 격자를 구성하였다. 격자 크기는 평균 길이 방향으로 43m, 폭 방향으로 15m 크기로 구성하였으며 유속이 상대적으로 빠른 취수탑 부근은 좀더 세밀하게 구성하였다. 4년간 수문자료를 분석하여 이 지역의 흐름을 년중 크게 3가지로 구분하였다. 수체거동이 급변하는 여름 강우기 후에 저수지에 물이 풍부한 경우의 흐름, 봄철 저수지 물이 풍부하지 않은 상태에서 주자천으로 부터의 유입은 최하인 상태의 경우 그리고 강우기에 짧은 기간 나타나는 주자천 위주 흐름의 경우로 구분하여 모의하였다. 각각의 경우 전체적인 흐름장은 확연히 다르게 나타났으며 이런 결과로 볼 때 수체의 흐름은 상하류의 유입량 변화에 따라 항상 흐름은 변화하는 것으로 평가되었으나, 저수지 수체의 흐름 속도는 모두 0.05$^{\sim}$1.5cm/sec 정도로 모의된 것은 수체적 대비 방류량이 적어서 나타나는 현상으로 평가되었다.

The study of the safety perceptions between two groups, trained and untrained student pilots were compared as pre-studies of that how the safety perceptions of the flight instructors affect that of the student pilots. As a results, the factors of the communication and the safety procedures shows higher values on the one-year trained group than the other because the trained students get used to the safety procedures which are necessary to the practical training. In reliability for the flight instructor, the factors of two groups show the high tendency without regard to groups. Despite of the lack of the specific research, the result implies that the student pilots are influenced by the safety perceptions of the flight instructors. In addition, the factors of the accident report were investigated as that the trained group has lower mean, however the factors of the receiving penalties of the trained group were higher than the other. These results imply that the trained group feels concern for the penalties and the punishments by reporting the accidents in spite of amounts of the training.

홍수위 산정을 위하여 이용되는 기법은 평균적인 홍수위 산정이 가능한 1차원모형과 하천 좌우의 수심 편차까지 해석이 가능한 2차원 모형 및 수심에 대한 변동까지 해석이 가능한 3차원 모형으로 구분된다. 이중에서 기본계획 수립시 사용되는 모형은 1차원 수치해석 모형으로 하천 단면별로 평균홍수위 만을 산정하므로 만곡부하천의 특성의 영향이 반영되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 만곡부 하천을 선정하여 총2.4Km구간의 모형을 제작하였으며, 수리모형 실험을 통하여 일차원 및 이차원 수치해석을 실시하여 모형실험값과 비교 고찰하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 일차원 수치해석은 HEC-RAS모형을, 이차원 수치해석에서는 SMS모형을 사용 하였다. 연구결과, 유속의 경우 우안지점의 평균 유속은 모형실험은 8.33m/s, 일차원 및 이차원 수치해석은 각각 3.08m/s, 8.57m/s로 나타남을 확인 하였으며, 평균유속은 이차원 수치해석이 모형실험과 유사한 값을 보였다. 또한 수위경우는 모형실험의 좌안과 우안에 대한 일차원 및 이차원 수치해석의 최대 오차는 각각 0.66m, 0.84m와 0.28m, 0.48m로 수위 또한 이차원 수치해석이 수리모형실험과 유사한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 알 수 있듯이 만곡부 하천의 경우 일차원 수치해석보다는 2차원수치해석을 실시하여 기본계획을 수립하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

Home security has become the prime concern for everyone in present scenario. In this work an attempt has been made to develop a home security system which is accessible, affordable and yet effective.The proposed system is based on 'Remote Embedded Control System' (RECS) which works both on the web and gsm platform for authentication and monitoring. This system is therefore cost effective as it relies on existing network infrastructure. As PCA is most popular and efficient algorithm for face recognition, it has been usedin this work. Next to it an interface has been developed for communication purpose in the embedded security system through the ZigBee module. Based on this embedded system, automated control of door movement has been implemented through electromagnetic door lock technology. This helps the users to monitor the real-time activities through web services/SMS. The web service consists of either web browser command or e-mail provision. The system establishes the communication between the system and authenticated user. The e-mail received by the system from the authorized person will monitor and control the real-time operation and door lock. The entire control system is reinforced using ARM1176JZF-S microcontroller and tested for actual use in the home environment. The result shows the experimental verification of the proposed system.

Monascus species have been used to produce fermented rice called Monascus-fermented rice (MFR). To improve a Monascus strain via activation of secondary metabolite (SM) gene clusters for use in the production of MFR, we overexpressed an ortholog of the laeA gene, which encodes a global positive regulator of secondary metabolism under the control of the strong heterologous Aspergillus nidulans alcA promoter in Monascus pilosus. The OE::laeA transformant produced more SMs, including those not detected under uninduced conditions. MFR produced using the M. pilosus OE::laeA strain contained 4 times more monacolin K, a cholesterol-lowering agent, than MFR produced using the wild-type strain. In addition, pigment production was remarkably increased, and the antioxidant activity was increased as well. The results from this study suggest that Monascus species, which are important industrial fermentative fungi in Asia, can be improved for the production of functional foods by overexpressing the laeA gene.
