  • Since the concept was first introduced in the 1970s, transit-oriented-development (TOD) has greatly expanded in East Asian cities such as Hong Kong. Rail stations are built together with clusters of residential-commercial towers and government services to form a new style of living - a "rail village." This paper examines the composition, scale, spatial form, organization and operation of several typical rail villages in Hong Kong. The cases range across those planned from the mid-1990s to 2015. Based on the analysis of the rail village composition, the paper derives a development ratio to indicate the density, effectiveness and efficiency of a rail village catchment area. The ratio provides a useful and direct figure for the comparison of different stations, cities and development modes.

  • It is required for us to design multimedia synchronization model which present mixed media, tat contains not only continuous medial but also discontinuous media. And it is useful for us to develop multimedia application software. Proposed paper represents model tat expresses continuous media and discontinuous media. And continuous medial show the temporal relations between media objects then discontinuous media spatial relations. The model proposed in this paper is effective in applying the system to guarantee high quality of services and can process real time application form applying efficient multiple key media when events occur. We verified that the proposed model has improved media palyout rate compared with other previous synchronization models through simulation.

  • A seroprevalence study of small ruminant brucellosis was conducted in sheep and goat rearing selected areas of Mymensingh district and Dhaka district, Bangladesh, from March, 2005 to May, 2006. Sera from 62 sheep and 300 goats were tested by rose bengal plate test (RBPT), plate agglutination test (PAT), tube agglutination test (TAT) and mercaptoethanol test (MET). Out of the 62 sera tested 3.25% (n = 2) were positive to RBT, PAT and TAT and 4.84% (n = 3) were positive MET. In case of 300 goats, 1.67% (n = 5) were positive to RBT and PAT, 2% (n = 6) were positive to TAT and 2.33% (n = 7) were positive to MET. This investigation is the first of its type to be performed in small ruminants in Bangladesh. Higher prevalence rate (8.0 %) was found in BAU nutrition farm in case of sheep and 10 % in Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) Veterinary Clinic in case of goat while lower prevalence (0.0 %) was recorded in Pharmacology project and BAU adjacent villages in case of sheep and (0.0 %) in Dhamrai upazila in case of goats respectively. Brucella antibodies were more prevalent in sheep (8.84 %) than in goat (2.33 %).

  • Though protein transduction domains (PTDs) are well known for the delivery of exogenous therapeutic proteins into living cells, the overall low efficiency of transduction is a serious obstacle. We investigated the effect of bog blueberry anthocyanins (BBA) on protein transduction efficiency and found that BBA enhanced the transduction efficiencies of Tat-SOD fusion protein into HeLa cells and mice skin. The enzymatic activities in the cells and skin tissue in the presence of BBA were markedly increased compared to controls. Further, BBA did not demonstrate any cell toxicity at various concentrations. Although the mechanism is not fully understood, we suggest that BBA might alter the conformation of the membrane, which would indicate that BBA can be used as a protein transduction enhancer for the efficient delivery of therapeutic proteins for a variety of disorders.

  • Brucella spp. are small, non-motile Gram-negative coccobacilli known to cause disease in a number of vertebrate species including humans and brucellosis is one of the world's major zoonoses, alongside bovine tuberculosis and rabies. There are about 33.55 million goats and 1.16 million sheep in Bangladesh. The sheep and goats can significantly play an important role in the economic well being of the resource-poor farmer in Bangladesh. Sexually matured 362 female small ruminants(300 goats and 62 sheep) were examined. Approximately 3-5 ml of blood was collected from the jugular vein of each animal and sera samples were prepared. Samples were then tested for brucellosis by using Rose Bengal test(RBT), plate agglutination test(PAT) and tube agglutination test(TAT). Among 362 small ruminants, irrespective of species(sheep or goat), diagnosed highest in TAT, 2.21%(n=8) and lowest both by RBT & PAT, 1.93%(n=7) and it is concluded that TAT is superior than RBT and PAT.

  • To analyze the effects of a new unknown peptide DEF on the growth of tumor cells, a fused polypeptide TAT-DV1-DEF was designed and synthesized. The lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82 treated with TAT-DV1-DEF was analyzed with a cell counting kit 8, and the location of polypeptides in cells was observed under laser confocal microscopy. The efficiency of polypeptide transfection and changes in nuclear morphology were analyzed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Finally, the mechanism of tumor cell growth inhibition was evaluated by Western blotting. We found that TAT-DV1-DEF could significantly inhibit the growth of the lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, but not the normal human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293. Polypeptides were found to be mostly localized in the cytoplasm and some mitochondria. The efficiency of polypeptide transfection in the two cell types was approximately 99%. Apoptotic nuclei were observed under fluorescence microscopy upon treatment with polypeptides and DAPI staining. Western blot analyses indicated that the polypeptide inhibition of tumor cell growth was apoptosis dependent. In the present study, we demonstrated that fused polypeptides could induce apoptosis of the lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, indicating that the new unknown peptide DEF has antitumor effects.

  • Reduction 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene by zero valent iron was studied in a batch reactor under anoxic conditions. Results showed that the removal of trinitrotoluene (TNT)followed a pseudo-first order reaction and the rate was linearly dependent on the available reactive surfau area of the zero valent iron surface area, resulting a rate constant of 0.0981min$^{1}m$$^{-2}m$. High concentrations of the final product, presumably triaminotoluene which needs to be treated by other means, accumulated in the solution. However , little amount of TAT was extracted from the metal surface by using acetonitrile or phosphate buffered water (pH 7.0). Other common major intermediate in biological TNT degradation, a group of aminodinitrotoluenes, was not detected in the solution. Therefore, it is postulated that the reduction of nitro group by $Fe^0$ occurs simultaneously in all three positions and a TNT reduction model by zero valent iron was suggested.

  • 반도체 회로의 미세화로 단위 공정이 증가하면 TAT(turn-around time) 증가에 따른 제조 비용이 늘어난다. 반도체 공정 중 포토 공정은 마스크의 회로를 웨이퍼에 전사하는 공정으로 전사를 담당하는 노광장비의 성능에 의해 회로의 정확성이 결정된다. 이런 정확성을 검증하는 계측공정은 회로의 미세화가 진행될수록 필요성은 증가하나 TAT 증가의 주된 요인으로 최근 기계학습을 사용한 다양한 예측 모형들의 개발로 계측 결과를 예측하는 실험들이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 노광장비 센서들의 이상값을 감지하여 분류 후 계측공정을 진행하는 LFDC(Lithography Fault Detection and Classification) 시스템의 문제인 분류 성능이 떨어지는 것을 해결하기 위해 XGBoost를 사용하여 계측공정을 진행하지 않고 노광장비 센서의 이상값을 학습된 학습기를 통해 분류하여 포토 공정을 재진행하거나 다음 공정을 진행하는 방법을 실험하였다. 실험에서 사용된 계측 결과 예측 모형은 89%의 정확도를 확보하였고 반도체 데이터 특성인 심각한 불균형의 데이터에 대해서도 같은 정확도를 얻었다. 이런 결과는 노광장비 센서들의 이상값에 대해 89%는 정상으로 판단하였고 정상으로 판단한 웨이퍼를 실제 계측 시 예측과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 계측 결과 예측 모형을 사용하면 실제 계측을 진행하지 않고 노광장비 센서들의 이상값에 대한 판정을 할 수 있어 TAT 단축으로 제조 비용감소, 계측 장비 부하 감소 및 효율 향상을 할 수 있다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 90%의 성능을 보이는 계측 결과 예측 모형으로 여전히 10%에 대해서는 실제 계측이 필요한 문제에 대해 추후 더 연구가 필요하다.
