  • Response surface methodology was employed to study the interactive effect of sucrose, nitrogen, temperature and to optimize their levels to enhance the production of human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulation factor from Nicotiana tabacum cell suspension cultures. A 15-runs Box-Behnken design including three center points was the response surface method selected for the initial set of experiments. The analysis of the data from the Box-Behnken experiments showed interactive effects of sucrose:nitrogen, sucrose:temperature and nitrogen:temperature. The optimal combinations of sucrose, nitrogen and temperature for hGM-CSF production from surface plot were sucrose 90 g/L, nitrogen 41 mM and 22$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimization of there factors enhanced the hGM-CSF production by 2 times because high sucrose concentration stimulated the secretion of hGM-CSF and low temperature prevented hGM-CSF degradation in media by pretenses.

  • Glutaminase production in Zygosaccharomyces rouxii by solid-state fermentation (SSF) is detailed. Substrates screening showed best results with oatmeal (OM) and wheatbran (WB). Furthermore, a 1:1 combination of OM:WB gave 0.614 units/gds with artificial sea water as a moistening agent. Evaluation of additional carbon, nitrogen, amino acids, and minerals supplementation was done. A central composite design was employed to investigate the effects of four variables (viz., moisture content, glucose, corn steep liquor, and glutamine) on production. A 4-fold increase in enzyme production was obtained. Studies were undertaken to analyze the time-course model, the microbial growth, and nutrient utilization during SSF. A logistic equation ($R^2$=0.8973), describing the growth model of Z. rouxii, was obtained with maximum values of ${\mu}_m$ and $X_m$ at $0.326h^{-1}$ and 7.35% of dry matter weight loss, respectively. A goodfit model to describe utilization of total carbohydrate ($R^2$=0.9906) and nitrogen concentration ($R^2$=0.9869) with time was obtained. The model was used successfully to predict enzyme production ($R^2$=0.7950).

  • In order to develope the in vitro short term screen-ing method for carcinogen, we studied a purification method for thymine glycol in oxidaized DNA. Thymine glycol (5,6-dihydroxy-5, 6-dihydrothymine) is the major stable radiolysis poduct in thymine by chemical oxidants and ionzing radiation and it is a useful biomarker among oxidized DNA adducts, related with carcinogenests. Standard thymine glycol was prepared by oxidation of 〔$^3$H〕 thymine with KMnO$_4$ followed by purification with HPLC-LSC system and it was assayed by TLC and gas chromatography-MSD. 〔$^3$H〕 DMA adducts was isolated from E. coli (wild type ) treated with oxidative agents such as benzo(a)pyrene, adriamycin, aflatoxin B$_1$ and KBrO$_3$. These oxidative agents generated free radicals in cells by oxidative metabolism. As a result, thymine glycol was produced in cultured E. coli by four chemicals. This result shows that this methodology should be useful tool in screening oxidative carcinogen.

  • In this paper, an air isolate (NITT6L) has been screened based on hemolytic activity, emulsification activity, drop collapsing test, and oil displacement test, as well as lipase activity. It was found that strain NITT6L was able to reduce the surface tension of the medium from 61.5 to 39.83 mN/m and could form stable emulsions with tested vegetable oils. Morphological, biochemical, 16S rRNA sequencing analyses, and fatty acid methyl ester analysis using gas chromatography confirmed that the air isolate under study was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Characterization of the biosurfactant using agar double diffusion assay revealed that the biosurfactant was anionic in nature, and CTAB-methylene blue assay and Molisch test revealed its glycolipid nature. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed that the crude biosurfactant was a rhamnolipid. Using unoptimized medium containing sucrose as the carbon source, the isolate was found to produce 0.3 mg/ml of rhamnolipid in batch cultivation (shake flask) at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7. Optimization of the medium components was carried out using design of experiments and the yield of rhamnolipid has been enhanced to 4.6 mg/ml in 72 h of fermentation.

  • Breast cancer is a menacing cancer, primarily affecting women. Continuous research is going on for detecting breast cancer in the early stage as the possibility of cure in early stages is bright. There are two main objectives of this current study, first establish statistics for breast cancer and second to find methodologies which can be helpful in the early stage detection of the breast cancer based on previous studies. The breast cancer statistics for incidence and mortality of the UK, US, India and Egypt were considered for this study. The finding of this study proved that the overall mortality rates of the UK and US have been improved because of awareness, improved medical technology and screening, but in case of India and Egypt the condition is less positive because of lack of awareness. The methodological findings of this study suggest a combined framework based on data mining and evolutionary algorithms. It provides a strong bridge in improving the classification and detection accuracy of breast cancer data.

  • A simple and rapid analytical method for the determination of tylosin in chicken, pork and muscle was established by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC). Chicken, pork and beef muscle(5 g) were fortified by adding the $0.2{\mu}g/ml$ of standard tylosin and the drug was extracted from meats with 70% acetonitrile(ACN) and followed by liquid-liquid partition for clean-up procedure. Then $20{\mu}l$ portion of ACN elution was directly analyzed by HPLC with spectra 100 variable wavelength detector, and unfortified blank control were treated similarly. The average recovery rate of tylosin added to chicken, pork and beef muscle were $83{\pm}2.3$, $96{\pm}3.3$ and $92{\pm}1.6$(%) at the level 0.2 ppm, respectively. No tylosin residues in marketing meats. These results suggested that HPLC methodology could be acceptable for the extraction, determination and screening of tylosin residues in edible meats.

  • Screening of fifteen bivoltine silkworm breeds of Bombyx mori Linn at a temperature of $31{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of 85${\pm}$5% resulted in the identification of eight thermo-tolerant breeds. The survival and cocoon shell ratio of the tolerant breeds ranged from 72.7 to 78.7% and 20.0 to 20.1% respectively. The tolerant breeds comprised of four oval breeds and four dumb-bell breeds. Eight foundation crosses prepared by crossing the oval and dumb-bell parents among themselves were screened at a temperature of $31{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of 85{\pm}5%. The performance of the foundation crosses on 11 economic characters were analysed by employing Multipie Trait Evaluation Index method. Four foundation crosses which scored average index value > 50 were selected as breeding parents and breeding initiated for the evolution of thermo-tolerant bivoltine silkworm breeds. The methodology and the results of the foundation crosses reared both at 31{\pm}1$^{\circ}C$ and at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ temperatures, are discussed.

  • The nutritional medium requirement for biosurfactant production by Bacillus licheniformis K51 was optimized. The important medium components, identified by the initial screening method of Plackett-Burman, were $H_3PO_4,\;CaCl_2,H_3BO_3$, and Na-EDTA. Box-Behnken response surface methodology was applied to further optimize biosurfactant production. The optimal concentrations for higher production of biosurfactants were (g/l): glucose, $1.1;NaNO_3,\;4.4;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O,\;0.8;KCl,\;0.4;CaCl_2,\;0.27;H_3PO_4,\;1.0ml/l;\;and\;trace elements\;(mg/l):H_3BO_3,\;0.25;CuSO_4,\;0.6;MnSO_4,\;2.2;Na_{2}MoO_4,\;0.5;ZnSO_4,\;6.0;FeSO_4,\;8.0;CoCL_2,\;1.0;$ and Na-EDTA, 30.0. Using this statistical optimization method, the relative biosurfactant yield as critical micelle dilution (CMD) was increased from $10{\times}\;to\;105{\times}$, which is ten times higher than the non-optimized rich medium.

  • Purpose -In the credit transaction, the issuing bank must examine the documents to pay the credit amount. In order to smoothly execute the credit transaction, document review is a key element, so the 5th revised credit unification rule specifically defines the document review procedure. Research design, data, and methodology - The document review procedure specified in the UCP Rules can be largely divided into the document review period and the rejection procedure for inconsistent documents. First of all, confusion was caused by the ambiguous regulation.. Result - With regard to the document review period, in the actual credit transaction, the issuing bank often negotiates with the issuing client about the waiver of the document inconsistency. Next, in the process of notifying the rejection of inconsistent documents, the issuing bank shall send the rejection notice. Conclusion - This study suggests that the requirement to list all inconsistencies makes it impossible for the issuing bank to further notify the refusal, thereby limiting the right to defend against inconsistencies not listed in the first refusal notice and consequently having the effect of matching them. In addition, the issuing bank's rejection notice is closely related to the beneficiary's exercise of the right to replenish documents.
