  • Lycopene, which is a well-known red carotenoid pigment, has been drawing scientific interest because of its potential biological functions. The current study reports that lycopene acts as a bactericidal agent by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated DNA damage in Escherichia coli. Lycopene treatment elevated the level of ROS-in particular, hydroxyl radicals ($^*OH$)-which can damage DNA in E. coli. Lycopene-induced DNA damage in bacteria was confirmed and we also observed cell filamentation caused by cell division arrest, an indirect marker of the DNA damage repair system, in lycopene-treated E. coli. Increased RecA expression was observed, indicating activation of the DNA repair system (SOS response). To summarize, lycopene exerts its antibacterial effects by inducing $^*OH$-mediated DNA damage that cannot be ameliorated by the SOS response. Lycopene may be a clinically useful adjuvant for current antimicrobial therapies.

  • Generalized order statistics (gos) introduced by Kamps [8] as a unified approach to several models of order random variables (rv's), e.g., (ordinary) order statistics (oos), records, sequential order statistics (sos). In a wide subclass of gos, included oos and sos, the possible limit distribution functions (df's) of the maximum gos are obtained in Nasri-Roudsari [10]. In this paper, for this subclass, as the df of the suitably normalized extreme gos converges on an interval [c, d] to one of possible limit df's of the extreme gos, the continuation of this (weak) convergence on the whole real line to this limit df is proved.

  • Potential antimutagenic activities of vegetable plants were investigated. 24 vegetables which are frequently consumed by Korean people were extracted with 70% ethyl alcohol to prepare the extract samples. Then those samples were added to the culture media containing mitomycin C($O.3\;{\mu}g/ml$) and the SOS-Chromotest was performed. Positive control, mitomycin C alone, showed about 330 units of ${\beta}$-galactosidase activities. Among 24 vegetable samples, Saxifraga oblougifolia Nakai (취나물, Saxifragaceae) and Platycodon grandiflorum A. De Candolle(도라지, Campanulaceae) showed 136 and 155 units, respectively when mitomycin C was treated. These results indicate that Saxifragae Herba and Platycodi Radix possess protecting action from mutagenic activity produced by mitomycin C.

  • Kyoaesamultang(KAT) has been used as an important prescription for various diseases including threatened abortion, associated with pregnancy in traditional medicine. In oder to identify the safety of KAT, this study was designed to determine mutagenicity and hepato-toxicity. In Rec-assay, Bacillus subtills H-17($Rec{^+}$) and M-45($Rec{^-}$) strains were used to clarify the DNA damage property. In Ames test, Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 were used for mutagenicity testing. In SOS umu test, Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 containing plasmid pSK1002 was used as a tester strain, and the levels of umu operon expression were monitored by measuring the $\beta$-galactosidase activity. From tested results, KAT did not show DNA damage and mutagenicity. On the other hand, hepato-toxicity of KAT to female ICR mice was monitored by the measurements of s-GOT, s-GPT and LDH activities after oral feeding for 15days. KAT showed 34% increase of s-GOT and s-GPT activities, also exhibited 35% increase of LDH activity in mice sera.

  • This paper proposes anti-swing control of overhead crane system using sum of squares method. The dynamic equations of overhead crane include nonlinear terms, which are transformed into polynomials by using Taylor series expansion. Therefore the dynamic equation of overhead crane can be changed to the system of polynomial equation. On the basis of polynomial dynamics of crane system, we propose the Sum of Squares (SOS) conditions considering the input constraints. In addition, control gains are obtained by numerical tool which is called by SOSTOOL. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

  • The antimutagenic activities of the total extract and several fractions of starfish, Asterina pectinifera (Asteriidae), were investigated in vitro by SOS chromotest with Escherichia coli PQ37 and Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA100. When various fractions was tested, the chloroform and butanol fractions showed low induction factors, which means both fractions increased antigenotoxicity against the base substitution mutagen MNNG. Even though higher antigenotoxic effect of the chloroform fraction, no effective result of Ames test was found in revertant formation of S. typhimurium TA100. The most effective antigenotoxic and antimutagenic fraction was a butanol one: i.e., When 0.5 mg/tube of butanol fraction was applied, the induction factor was 0.68. As the concentration of the fraction was increased the formation of revertants of S. typhimurium TA100 by about 81%. There was no cytotoxic effect of butanol fraction against S.typhimurium TA100. This result might be useful for further study to search a possible anticancer agent from the starfish, Asterina pectinifera.

  • The electrothermal simulation of high voltage LIGBT(Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) in thin Silicon on insulator (SOI) and Silicon on sapphire (SOS) for thermal conductivity and sink is performed by means of MEDICI. The finite element simulations demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of the buried oxide is an important parameter for the modeling of the thermal behavior of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices. In this paper, using for SOI LIGBT, we simulated electrothermal for device that insulator layer with $SiO_2\;and\;Al_2O_3$ at before and after latch up to measured the thermal conductivity and temperature distribution of whole device and verified that SOI LIGBT with $Al_2O_3$ insulator had good thermal conductivity and reliability
