Objectives: This study evaluated the fungicidal efficacy of a fumigant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol against Trichophytone mentagrophytes (T. mentagrophytes), Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Aspergillus niger (A. niger). Methods: Five replicates of each carrier were contaminated by depositing 0.05 mL of each fungal suspension. After drying, two carriers without exposure to the fumigant and three carriers with exposure to the fumigant were left in a sealed room ($25m^3$) at $21{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ and $60{\pm}10%$ relative humidity for 15 hours. Immediately after removal from the test room, each carrier was transferred into recovery diluent and suspended, diluted and inoculated. After incubation, the numbers of each colony were counted, and the parameter values (N, T, d) were calculated. Results: The working culture suspension number (N value) of T. mentagrophytes, C. albicans and A. niger were $1.0{\times}10^8$, $1.2{\times}10^8$ and $5.7{\times}10^7CFU/mL$, respectively. All the colony numbers on the carriers exposed to the fumigant (n1, n2, n3) were higher than 0.5N1 (the number of fungal test suspensions by pour plate method), 0.5N2 (the number of fungal test suspensions by filter membrane method) and 0.5N1, respectively. In addition, all mean numbers of test strains recovered on the control-carriers (T value) were over $10^6CFU/mL$. For the fungicidal effect of the fumigant, all numbers of fungal reductions after exposure of the fumigant (d value) were 4 logCFU/mL. Conclusions: The present study showed that fumigant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol has effective fungicidal activity against T. mentagrophytes, C. albicans and A. niger.

This study is to inquire into the publishing situation and developmental plans of korean magazine of Joseon people (Korean) in China, About twenty types of magazines for Joseon people(Korean) in China have been published since the liberation of China. These magazines have mainly brought changes such as publication suspensions, reissuing, and renaming in reflection of reading classes and political influence. Also, when classified by topic, the mainstream includes magazines of political. cultural, and art fields. On one hand, difficulties in magazine publication come from a decrease in the Korean Chinese population, population movements, support reduction and abolition from the Chinese government and increases in material costs. To overcome this, Korean reading classes should be secured and a magazine composed in two languages(Chinese-Korean) should be published to pioneer active cultural exchange in and out of China, and various forms of support should be devised from Korea.

Dunaliella tertiolecta did not show any increase in respiration rate when supplied with glucose, glycerol, sucrose, L-alanine, acetate, pyruvate and succinate. This was in contrast to Chlorella pyrenoidosa, which, under identical conditions, showed significant increase when supplied with glucose or acetate but not with the other compounds. Production of 14CO2 from added 14C-glucose in D. tertiolecta was lower than the other 14C-labelled substrates: L-alinine, glycerol, succinate, but higher than 14C-sucrose addition. And it was also lower than C. pyrenoidosa experiments which was added 14C-glucose as a substrate. Light reduced amounts of labelled carbon dioxide from 14C-glucose or 14C-acetate and increased incorporation of 14C from the substrates to cell materials in either D. tertiolecta or C. pyrenoidosa. The contribution of 14C from 14C-glucose to 14CO2 in cell-free system of D. tertiolecta were much higher than in whole cell suspension. It was contrast to C. pyrenoidosa which were showed reduction of 14CO2 production in cell-free systems than whole cell suspensions. When cell-free systems of D. tertiolecta and C. pyrenoidosa were supplied with ATP, NAD, NADP or/and hexokinase, it was remarkably increased production of 14CO2 from the substrates than the control. It was concluded that the low ability of D. tertiolecta to metabolize glucose were caused by the impermeability of the cell membrane to glucose and were not due to deficiencies of enzyme systems concerning glucose metabolism. In the cell-free systems, it seemed to be more active pentose phosphate pathway than glycolytic pathway in D. tertiolecta.

In this study, an analysis method for maglev train-guideway interaction is verified using field measurement data. The cabin and bogies of the maglev train are modeled as rigid bodies that are allowed to have heave and pitch motions. Levitation forces from the electromagnetic suspensions on the bogies are controlled using an active control algorithm. The guideway is represented using the Euler-Bernoulli beam. Considering rigorously the changes in air-gaps and material points at which the levitation forces are applied due to the pitch motions of the bogies, dynamic analysis of maglev train-guideway interaction is performed. Using field measurement data, obtained from the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway, the analysis method is verified. Accuracy of the analysis method is investigated. It is determined that the structures in the railway are designed and constructed safely according to the design code for maglev railways.

Red cell glycolytic intermediates, metabolites and metabolic ratios were studied. Glycolytic intermediates were measured in neutralized perchloric acid extracts of red cell suspensions after 3 hr incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ in the presence and absence of saponin. Adenosine triphosphate(ATP), adenosine diphosphate(ADP), pyruvate and lactate were measured by enzymatic procedures involving stoichiometric oxidation or reduction of a pyridine nucleotide. Glucose was determined using glucose oxidase after zinc hydroxide extraction. The redox state was calculated from the lactate dehydrogenase equilibrium. Adenosine triphosphatase activity(ATPase) was measured by determining the amount of phosphate released from ATP by washed erythrocyte membranes(ghost) during 20 min. incubation. Both total hydrolysis and the amount of hydrolysis that occured in the presence of ouabain were measured. The second measurement yields Mg-ATPase and represents nonspecific ATPase activity of the membranes. The difference between total and Mg-ATPase activity can be attributed to Na-K-ATPase. For the measurement of sodium fluxes, human erythrocytes were preincubated in $^{22}Na$ for 3 hr at $37^{\circ}C$, washed and suspended in a tracer-free medium. The amount of $^{22}Na$ transported out of cells at any time was determined by analysis of supernatant samples taken at various time after addition of the labeled cells to isotope-free medium. The cells and medium were separated and the radioactivity appearing in the medium was measured. From the total radioactivity in the suspension and the radioactivity appearing in the medium at known time, the rate constant for sodium release was computed. The results are summarized as follows: 1) ATP and ATP/ADP were found to increase at every concentration of saponin tested whereas ADP declined at every cone. of saponin. The increase in pyruvate and lactate were observed at every cone, of saponin and thus $NAD^+/NADH$ computed from pyruvate/lactate also increased. Glucose utilization was stimulated by saponin. 2) $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activities showed a biphasic response to saponin, first increasing in lower concentration and then decreasing in higher concentration of saponin. 3) The efflux of sodium was significantly increased by saponin in the range of 5 to 10 mg%. The stimulatory effect of saponin on the rate constants for active(ouabain-sensitive) sodium efflux was inhibited by addition of ouabain.

Enterococcus faecium MJ5-14 isolated from Meju produced a bacteriocin, which was antagonistic towards Listeria monocytogenes. Bacteriocin activity reached a maximum (640 BU/mL) after incubation for 12 hr, the early stationary phase, then dropped after the late stationary phase. Bacterocin of E. faecium MJ5-14 was extremely active against a wide range of Listeria species, including L. monocytogenes with sensitives up to about 640 BU/mL. In case of mixed culture with 105 CFU/mL L. monocytogenes and 105 CFU/mL E. faecium MJ5-14, the inhibitory effect against L. monocytogenes at $37^{\circ}C$ was higher than at $25^{\circ}C$. The mode of action was identified as bactericidal, because the addition of 100 BU/mL this bacteriocin to cell suspensions of L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569, led to a marked decrease in the number of viable cells. Further, when held in contact with bacteriocin of E. faecium MJ15-14 for 12 hr, L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569 displayed the disruption of the cells and an important efflux of the intracellular material.
