Jute is the principal coarse fiber for commercial production and use in Bangladesh. Therefore, the development of a high-yielding and environmental-stress tolerant jute variety would be beneficial for the agro economy of Bangladesh. Two molecular fingerprinting techniques, random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified-fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) were applied on six jute samples. Two of them were cold-sensitive varieties and the remaining four were cold-tolerant accessions. RAPD and AFLP fingerprints were employed to generate polymorphism between the cold-sensitive varieties and cold-tolerant accessions because of their simplicity, and also because there is no available sequence information on jute. RAPD data were obtained by using 30 arbitrary oligonucleotide primers. Five primers were found to give polymorphism between the varieties that were tested. AFLP fingerprints were generated using 25 combinations of selective-amplification primers. Eight primer combinations gave the best results with 93 polymorphic fragments, and they were able to discriminate the two cold-sensitive and four cold-tolerant jute populations. A cluster analysis, based on the RAPD and AFLP fingerprint data, showed the population-specific grouping of individuals. This information could be useful later in marker-aided selection between the cold-sensitive varieties and cold-tolerant jute accessions.

This study was conducted to investigate the thermoregulatory responses and wearing behavior of the cold-sensitive men when exposed to the mild cold of 14$^{\circ}C$. Two sessions of experiment were carried out and five healthy young men for the cold-sensitive group(CSG) and four healthy young for the cold-insensitive group(CIG) participated in the study as subjects CSG maintained rectal temperature lower than CIG due to their thicker clothing resulted in larger decrease of rectal temperature. CSG maintained skin temperatures higher than CIG. CSG felt cooler than CIG but wore thicker clothing for thermal comfort and this made keep their sensation warmer. These results were discussed in terms of autonomic and behavioral temperature regulation.

Purpose - This paper aims to review cold chain management, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, to explore the cold chain process of delivering temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products, and to identify areas for further development. Research design, data, and methodology - The paper, based on literature review and corporate analysis, reviews the development and status of the cold supply chain system, including its important role in the pharmaceutical industry. Results - Logistics in this field requires more stages than are typically needed. Due to the unique characteristics of the market, few companies can provide the services; currently, only few global companies with large networks and high technologies can afford to do so. Expanding pharmaceutical markets to meet global demand will require cold chain development, especially in "pharmerging" markets. Conclusions - Cold chain is a highly sensitive market in terms of products being carried within the chain that itself is a complex system. However, at the same time, it is a niche market with new opportunities. Hence, a sound cold chain infrastructure is needed to satisfy companies, governments, and customers for both commercial and public reasons.

Recently, stable crop production is threatened by the effects of climate change. In particular, it is difficult to consistently maintain agricultural policies due to large price fluctuations depending on the difference in total domestic rice production from year to year. For stable rice production amid changes in the crop growing environment, development of varieties with improved disease resistance and abiotic stress stability is becoming more important. In here, drought and cold tolerant trait have been studied. First, for the development of drought tolerant varieties, we analyzed which agricultural traits are mainly affected by domestic drought conditions. As a result, it was observed that drought caused by the lack of water during transplanting season inhibits the development of the number of tiller and reduces the yield. 'Samgang' was selected as a useful genetic resource with strong drought tolerant and stable tiller number development even under drought conditions by phenotype screening. Three of drought tolerant QTLs were identified using doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross between Nacdong and Samgang, a drought sensitive and a tolerant, respectively. Among these QTLs, when qVDT2 and qVDTl1 were integrated, it was investigated that the tiller number development was relatively stable in the rainfed paddy field conditions. It is known that the high-yielding Tongil-type cultivars are severely affected by cold stress throughout the entire growth stage. In this study, we established conditions that can test the cold tolerance phenotype with alternate temperature to treat low temperatures in indoor growth conditions similar to those in field conditions at seedling stage. Three cold tolerant QTLs were explored using population derived from a cross between Hanareum2 (cold sensitive variety, Tongil-type) and Unkwang (cold tolerant variety, Japonica). Among these QTLs, qSCT12 showed strong cold tolerant phenotype, and when all of three QTLs were integrated, it was investigated that cold tolerant score was relatively similar to its donor parent, Unkwang, in our experimental conditions. We are performing that development of new variety with improved cold tolerant through the introduction of these QTLs.

Mechanol extracts of three cold-tolerant eucalyptus trees-Eucalyptus darlympleana, E. gunnii and E. unigera were screened for antimicrobial activity against twenty two phyto-pathogenic fungi and six food-borne bacterial pathogens. E. unigera showed the antagonistic activity against all the tested pathogens. Among the tested fungal pathogens, Pythium species were highly sensitive to the leaf extracts. Especially, P. vanterpoolii, a causal agent of leaf blight in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris), was completely inhibited by the extracts. The eucalyptus extracts were also effective in inhibiting the fungal growth of Botrytis cinerea and Phomopsis sp. isolated from the lesions of kiwifruit soft rot during post-harvest storage. Escherichia coli O-157 was less sensitive to the inhibition than the other bacterial pathogens tested. It was likely that Gram positive bacteria-Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus mutans were more sensitive to the eucalyptus extracts than Gram negative bacteria-Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our findings suggest that the cold-tolerant eucalyptus species have antimicrobial properties that can serve the development of novel fungitoxic agents or food preservatives.

저온 환경에서의 생장에 영향을 주는 지방산 합성 관련 유전자 bkdR, sigL, yplP, des들의 역할을 알아보기 위하여 각각 유전자들이 상실된 Bacillus subtilis CU1065와 JH642 돌연변이들을 제조하였다. 이들 유전자들의 저온 민감성을 확인하기 위해 $37^{\circ}C$와 $15^{\circ}C$에서 세포들의 생장을 측정하였다. $37^{\circ}C$에서 야생형과 결실 돌연변이 균주는 거의 유사한 정도의 생장을 보였으나, $15^{\circ}C$에서 오직bkdR 결실 돌연변이만이 야생형에 비해 매우 느린 생장이 관찰되었으며 sigL, yplP 결실의 경우 야생형에 비해 다소 느리거나 유사한 생장을 보였다. bkdR, sigL, yplP 결실에 대한 이중, 삼중 돌연변이를 만들어 LB agar에서 $20^{\circ}C$로 키워 저온생장을 조사한 결과, bkdR 결실이 포함되지 않은 어떤 이중, 삼중 결실들에서는 저온에 민감한 생장을 보이지 않았다. 온도 민감성 특성을 보다 잘 알아보기 위하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 $OD_{600}=0.4$까지 키워 $15^{\circ}C$로 온도를 내리는 저온충격 조건에서 생장하는 실험을 진행하였다. 이 실험에서 오직bkdR 결실 돌연변이만이 현저히 낮은 생장을 보였으며 추가적인 des 결실은 저온 민감성을 증가시킨다. bkdR은 branched-chain fatty acid을 합성하는 전구물질인 isoleucine, valine, leucine 아미노산을 생산하는 bkd operon을 활성화한다. bkdR 결실 돌연변이의 저온생장에서 이들 아미노산의 저온생장에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 isoleucine은 bkdR 결실에 대한 저온 민감성을 회복시켜주나 valine은 저온 민감성을 회복시켜 주지 못하는 결과를 보였다. isoleucine은 분해되어 anteiso-branched 지방산 합성의 전구물질로 만들어지는 반면에, valine은 iso-branched 지방산 합성의 전구물질로 만들어진다. 따라서 저온생장에서 branched-chain fatty acid 중 anteiso-branched 지방산이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

높은 염분 농도에서 glycine betaine은 Bacillus subtilis 안으로 유입되어 세포 생장이 지속될 수 있게 한다. 뿐만 아니라 최근 연구 결과에 따르면 저온에서도 glycine betaine이 세포 생장을 지속시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저온에서 Bacillus subtilis의 생장을 저해시키는 세포 대사 활동으로는 세포막 운송과 단백질 합성을 들 수 있다. 세포막 구조와 관련하여 저온에서 세포막 운송에 영향을 주는 유전자들로는 bkdR과 des가 있고, 단백질 합성 과정에서 RNA helicase 유전자인 ydbR과 yqfR들은 저온 민감성을 보인다. 따라서 Bacillus subtilis 저온 민감성 유전자 결손 세포들에 대한 glycine betaine의 효과를 조사하여 저온에서의 glycine betaine 생리적 기능에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이 결과 glycine betaine의 존재 유무에 따라 야생형 Bacillus subtilis와 ydbR과 yqfR 결손 균주의 저온생장에 큰 차이를 보였다($T_d$차이 190~686 min). 반면에 bkdR이나 des 결손균주의 경우에는 glycine betaine 존재 유무에 따라 차이를 보이지 않았다. Glycine betaine의 전구체인 choline으로 대치하여도 저온에서의 생장은 같은 결과를 보였다. Glycine betaine의 영향이 세포막 구조와 관련이 있는 유전자 bkdR과 des 결손균주에 미치는 영향이 적은 것을 알아보기 위해 세포막에 영향을 주는 세제의 효과를 조사하였다. Triton X-100과 N-lauryl sarcosine 세제에 의해 bkdR 결손 균주가 야생형에 비해 더 영향 받는 것을 확인하였고 이는 bkdR 결손이 저온에서 막 구조를 변형하여 glycine betaine의 투과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다.

Bacillus subtilis에 존재하는 DEAD-box RNA helicase에 대한 유전자 상동성 검색을 통해 yqfR, yfmL, ydbR, deaD 의 4종류의 유전자를 확인하였고 이들 유전자 각각의 결손 돌연변이체를 제조하였다. 이들 돌연변이체들의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 LB 배양액을 사용하여 여러 온도에서의 생장 속도를 조사하였다. LB 배양액에서 $37^{\circ}C$의 생장 결과 ydbR 결손 균주가 다소 생장이 느려지나($T_d$=53 min) 다른(yqfR, yfmL, deaD) 결손 돌연변이체들은($T_d$=30-40 min) 결손이 없는 야생형 균주 CU1065와($T_d$=32 min) 유사하였다. 반면에 $22^{\circ}C$에서의 생장은 CU1065 ($T_d$=102 min)에 비해 yqfR ($T_d$=151 min), yfmL ($T_d$=214 min), ydbR ($T_d$=343 min) 결손 균주 순으로 생장속도가 느린 저온 민감성을 보인다. deaD의 $22^{\circ}C$에서의 생장 속도는 ($T_d$=109 min) CU1065와 ($T_d$=102 min) 매우 유사하여 저온 민감성을 보이지 않았다. 그리고 이들 유전자들의 이중, 삼중, 사중의 결손 균주들을 제조하였고, 여러 온도에서 ($42^{\circ}C$, $37^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$) LB 배양액을 사용하여 생장 속도를 측정 하였다. 다중 결손은 단일 결손보다 더 심한 저온 민감성을 보이며, 이중 결손의 경우, ydbR과 yfmL의 결손이 다른 조합의 결손보다 보다 큰 저온 민감성을 나타내었다 ($T_d$=984 min). 이러한 저온 민감성은 E. coli의 csdA 혹은 srmB 결손의 결과와 유사하며 리보솜 조립과 관련이 있는 생리적 기능으로 보인다.

Cold spray (Cold gas dynamic spray, kinetic spray) is the latest spray coating process that is known as solid state deposition process. In cold spray, inert gases (typically nitrogen and helium) accelerate powder particles prior to impact onto the substrate. Accelerating particles start to deposit onto the substrate after reaching certain critical velocities depending on the coating materials and substrate. Since process gas temperatures are kept below to melting temperature of the coating materials, it is possible to spray temperature sensitive materials such as copper and titanium, nanocrystal materials, and amorphous metals without affecting the phase change and oxide formation. It is also possible to deposit thick coatings because cold spray coatings present compressive residual stresses. This ability to deposit thick coatings is suitable to repair or rebuild parts as an additive manufacturing process. In this presentation, cold spray is introduced and compared to other additive manufacturing processes such as laser and electron beam based processes. It is also presented some applications especially in the view point of additive manufacturing process.

A synchronized secondaty air injection method has been developed to hydrocarbon emission by injecting secondary air intermittently into exhaust port. The method has been tested in a single cylinder spark-ignition engine operating at cold-steady / cold-start conditions. Effects of air injection timing, intake pressure and engine air-fuel ratio have been investigated at cold-steady condition. Also, hydrocarbon emission and exhaust gas temperature with catalytic conberter are compared with a continuous SAI method and base condition at cold-start condition. Resules show that hydrocarbon reduction rate and exhaust gas temperature are sensitive to the timing of synchronized SAI. At cold-steady condition, HC emission is minimum at engine air-fuel ratio of 10. At cold-start condition, the accumulated hydrocarbon emission during the first 120 s decreases about 56% and 22% with the synchronized and continuous SAI, respectively, compared to that of base condition.
