We model the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of Class 0 protostar L1527 IRS using a radiative transfer code RADMC-3D. In addition to the photometry data from literatures, we include the Herschel/PACS data which well covers the far-infrared SED peak of L1527 IRS, providing precise constraints to the density structure and other physical properties of its circumstellar envelope. Previously, Tobin et al. (2013) presented a dust continuum modeling results using a rotating and infalling envelope (Terebey and Shu, & Cassen 1984 ; TSC envelope), which originally describes a power-law density profile (${\rho}{\propto}r-{\alpha}$) with the power-law index (${\alpha}$) of 1.5. However, we find that Herschel/PACS data are better fitted with a shallower power-law density profile. This smaller power-law might be attributed to a inner envelope. Thus, we fit the SED of L1527 IRS with a Bonnor-Ebert sphere, which is a combination of the inner flat-topped and the outer power-law (${\alpha}=2$) density profiles. This Bonnor-Ebert sphere is often used to explain the density profile of prestellar cores, which is considered the earliest stages of star formation. The well-fitted SED with a Bonnor-Ebert sphere suggests that L1527 IRS might have collapsed from a Bonnor-Ebert sphere rather than a singular isothermal sphere.

Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) is a family of enzymes that regulate histone acetylation. Dysfunction of HAT plays a critical role in the development of cancer. Here we have screened the various plant extracts to find out the potent HAT inhibitors. The bellflower (Platycodon grandiflorum) root have exhibited approximately 30% of the inhibitory effects on HAT activity, especially p300 and CBP (CREB-binding protein) at the concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/mL$. The cell viability was decreased approximately 52% in LNCaP cell for 48 hr incubation. Furthermore, mRNA level of 3 androgen receptor target genes, PSA, NKX3.1, and TSC22 were decreased with bellflower root extract treatment ($100\;{\mu}g/mL$) in the presence of androgen. In ChIP assay, the acetylation of histone H3 and H4 in PSA promoter region was dramatically repressed by bellflower root treatment, but not TR target gene, Dl. Therefore, the potent HAT inhibitory effect of bellflower root led to the decreased transcription of AR target genes and prostate cancer cell growth with the repression of histone hyperacetylation.

To predict service life of coating systems registered in Korean specifications for steel bridge coatings, field deterioration evaluation and accelerated weatherproof test were carried out, and deterioration models were drawn through regression analysis for evaluation results. For the coating systems that have not been used in field, regression analyses were carried out for the virtual evaluation results drawn by applying coordination factor to the field evaluation results for chlorinated rubber and urethane topcoat system. Service life prediction results showed that application of thermal sprayed coating (TSC) could extend service life of coatings to more than twice of general coatings.

The main purpose of this paper is to determine the dynamic characteristics and the structural stability of the two approach viaducts of the Bosphorus Suspension Bridge under the expected stresses that would be caused during earthquake conditions. The Ortakoy and the Beylerbeyi approach viaducts constitute the side spans of the bridge at two locations. The bridge's main span over the Bosphorus is suspended, whereas they are supported at the base at either end. For the numerical investigation of the viaducts, 3-D computational structural finite element-FE models were developed. Their natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes were obtained, analyzed, presented and compared. The performances of the viaducts, under earthquake conditions, were studied considering the P-Delta effects implementing the push-over (POA) and the non-linear time-history analyses (NTHA). For the NTHA, three earthquake ground motions were generated depending on the location of the bridge. Seismic performances of the viaducts were determined in accordance with the requirements of the Turkish Seismic Code for the Earthquake Design of Railways Bridges (TSC-R/2008) and those of Caltrans (CALTRANS-2001) given for Seismic Design of Steel Bridges, separately. Furthermore, the investigation was extended for evaluating the possible need for retrofitting in the future. After the analysis of the resultant data, a retrofit recommendation for the viaducts was presented.

A total of 1,848 samples was taken from bovine and porcine from January 2003 to November 2005. They were examined for the presence of Clostridiuml perfringens. The properties of the isolates were characterized for Gram staining, biochemical features and enterotoxin production. Forty-one strains (2.2%) of C perfringens were isolated from the 1,848 bovine and porcine carcass using selective media. 30 (3.2%) C perfringens were isolated from the 925 of bovine cacasses, and 11(1.2%) were isolated from the 923 of porcine cacasses. In TSC agar, all isolates showed lecithinase activity. The isolation rate was higher in spring and summer than in autumn and winter. Among 41 isolates, only 1 isolate detected the cpe gene in PCR. The PCR amplified band was observed 233 bp.

야외 조건에서 생장한 한국산 들잔디(Zoysia japonica Steud)의 잎, 줄기, 뿌리, 지하경의 관부와 절간에 있어서 질산환원효소 활성도(NRA)와 전분분해효소의 활성도(AA)를 측정하였다. 각 기관에서의 효소 활성도는 4월 중순부터 증가하여 6월의 개화기때 최대값에 도달하였다. 그후 효소 활성도는 급격히 감소하여 겨울철에는 최소에 이르렀다. 이 결과는 잔디의 각 기관에서 NR과 Amylase는 계절적 활성변이를 가진다는 것을 제안한다. NR과 Amylase가 낮은 활성도를 가지는 1986년 7월 31일에 6cm의 높이에서 잔디의 지상부를 예초(cuting)한 결과, 모든 기관에서의 AA와 잎, 줄기에서의 NRA는 2일간의 지연기 후에 급격히 증가하여 7일째에 최대에 이르렀다. 이 값은 대조구의 효소 활성도 보다 약 3배 높았고, 계절적 변이에서의 최대 활성도의 약 90%에 도달하였다. 예초된 잎에서의 조단백질(CP)의 함량은 예초후 7일째 까지 증가하였으나, 건물생산량(DM)과 총가용성 탄수화물(TSC) 함량은 예초후 4,5일 동안 감소하다가 다시 증가하여 7일째에 예초전의 수준에 도달한 후 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 또한 각 기관에서의 NRA와 AA는 예초후 8일째에 정상 수준으로 급감하였다. 이 결과는 완전히 자란 잔디 자체는 NR과 Amylase의 활성에 대한 억제제로서 작용하며, cutting과 같은 외부 성처요인이 개체 수준에서 적용되었을때 손상된 물질을 회복하기 위하여 분자 수준에서 수준에서 효소가 활성화 된다는 것을 제안한다.

Constant load model is generally used for an electric train to perform the static analysis of AT feeding systems. In this model, the train will be considered as a constant load model when it drives or as a constant source model when it applies regenerative brake. However there must be some voltage constraints on the catenary in actual operations. These constraints are established for the reason of protecting the feeding facilities from excessive rise of regenerative braking voltage or guaranteeing the minimum traction power of train. In normal operating situation, the pantagraph voltage of the train should be maintained within these limits. Keeping these facts in minds, we suggest new methods of analyzing AT feeding systems using the constant power models with the conditions of voltage constraints. The simulation results from a sample system using the proposed method illustrate both the states of system variables and the supply-demand relation of power among the trains and the systems very clearly, so it is believed that the proposed method yields more accurate results than conventional methods do. The proposed methods are believed to contribute to the assessment of TCR-TSC for compensating reactive powers too.

Present study examines L1 transfer effect and UG involvement in the acquisition of binding properties of Korean as second language (L2). The study especially investigates i) whether knowledge from different L1s (English and Chinese) affect the interpretation of binding in Korean as L2 and ii) whether L2 learners of Korean differentiate two Korean anaphors like Korean monolinguals do, based on their knowledge of universal form-function correlation of anaphors. 53 post-puberty L2 learners of Korean with English or Chinese L1, together with 30 Korean monolinguals, were tested over Truth Value Judgment Task with stories, composed of Korean sentences representing various types of binding with two Korean reflexives - caki and caki-casin. The results showed some effect of L1 transfer, though not always. Overall, late L2 learners of Korean seem to know the difference between the two anaphors in their properties related to form-function correlation, though their performance level was lower compared to Korean monolinguals. Detailed pattern of the results and the role of UG in the interpretations of Korean reflexives are also discussed.
