Numerous restraints and simplifications have been developed for methods that anticipate protein structure to reduce the colossal magnitude of possible conformational states. In this study, we investigated if globularity is a general characteristic of proteins and whether they can be applied as a valid constraint in protein structure simulations with approximated measurements (Gb-index). Unexpectedly, most of the proteins showed strong structural globularity (i.e., mode of approximately 76% similarity to the perfect globe) with only a few percent of proteins being outliers. Small proteins tended to be significantly non-globular ($R^2$=0.79) and the minimum Gb-index showed a logarithmic increase with the increase in protein size ($R^2$=0.62), strongly implying that the non-globular characteristics might be more acceptable for smaller proteins than larger ones. The strong perfect globe-like character and the relationship between small size and the loss of globular structure of a protein may imply that living organisms have mechanisms to aid folding into the globular structure to reduce irreversible aggregation. This also implies the possible mechanisms of diseases caused by protein aggregation, including some forms of trinucleotide repeat expansion-mediated diseases.

This paper was shown the simulation of electric field distribution of globular dielectric for design of ideal packed-bed plasma reactor. When discharge gap between the electrodes and input voltage are each 20[mm]. 10000[V] in the atmosphere, the results of simulation to the electric field was measured stronger at globular dielectric of $\phi$5[mm] than 1$\phi$[mm] and 3.33$\phi$[mm]. And the maximum electric field or globular dielectric with $\phi$10[mm] was increased about 5[%] to maximum electric field of globular dielectric with $\phi$5[mm] in the atmosphere. when dielectric constant of globular dielectric is 100, it was simulated about 90[%] of maximum electric field of globular dielectric over 1000 dielectric constant. Ana the highest electric field appeared as globular electric was parallel structure with the other globular dielectric side by side of the globular dielectric and connected to electrodes.

For semi-solid forging with aluminuim alloys, it is required to develope the globular grain structure. It was studide that cold upsetting ration in SIMA process has effect on the globularization of grain structure. Globular microstructure was generated without cold upsettings for commercial aluminium alloys. In the case of A12024, the range of grain size was 40 .approx. 50 .mu. m. The grain growth in growth in globular microstructure depend on heating time. Spur gear was forged in semi-solid state to investigate the forging condition for A12024 with hydraulic press.

In this paper, using the globular structure designed and implemented for the transmitter and the receiver resonant wireless power transfer(WPT). The coil of the transmitter was proposed to emit a magnetic energy in three-dimensional space by winding a ball shape. Each side of the transmitter has been designed to obtain a high Q value by a spiral structure. This solves the problem that the transfer efficiency decreases rapidly depending on the location in the conventional WPT. The resonance frequency is used 6.78 MHz and the distance between the trasnitter and the receiver is 200 mm. The transfer efficiency of the proposed WPT system is higher than 40% at all direction.

It is many devices to obtain the globular structure because the globularity of the structure is the key to the low apparent viscosity and also to good rheological properties. In this study, the morphology of the change of primary Al phase in A356 alloy by electro magnetic stirrer was investigated to obtain the globular structure. The parameters are the current, stirring time, pouring temperature individually. The greater current and longer stirring time was to get the finer the primary however in case of over the 80A of current and 60sec of stirring time, the primary Al was merged together and was increased. The effect of pouring temperature has an important effect on the size of primary phase. About the $675^{\circ}C$, the primary Al was very fined.

We present HST NIC3 photometry of metal-rich globular clusters Palomar 6, Liller 1 and 47 Tuc (NGC 104). We discuss the interstellar reddening law for the HST NICMOS F110W/F160W photometric system which depends on the temperature of the source. The distance moduli and interstellar reddening values for Palomar 6 and Liller 1 are estimated by comparing the magnitudes and colors of RHB stars in the clusters with those of 47 Tuc. We obtain $(m-M)_0=14.48$mag and E(B-V)=1.34mag for Palomar 6 and $(m-M)_0=15.17$mag and E(B-V)=2.50 mag for Liller 1.

Recently it turns out that simple-looking elliptical galaxies and lenticular galaxies are more complex and intriguing than expected. One of the most surprising and intriguing findings in extragalactic studies during the last two decades is a discovery that color distribution of the globular clusters in these galaxies is bimodal, suggesting that there are two subpopulations: blue and red globular clusters. We present a determination of the two-dimensional shape parameters of the blue and red globular cluster systems (GCSs) in a large number of bright elliptical galaxies and lenticular galaxies. The position angles of both and red GCSs show a correlation with those of the stellar light distribution, showing that the major axes of the GCSs are well aligned with those of their host galaxies. However, the shapes of the red GCSs show a tight correlation with the stellar light distribution as with the rotation property of their host galaxies, while the shapes of the blue GCSs do much less. These provide clear geometric evidence that the origins of the blue and red globular clusters are distinct and that these galaxies may have dual halos: a blue (metal-poor) halo and a red (metal-rich) halo. These two halos show significant differences in metallicity, structure, and kinematics, indicating that they are formed in two distinguishable ways. The red halos might have formed via dissipational processes with rotation, while the blue halos are through accretion.

We present extra-tidal features of spatial configuration of stars around three metal-poor globular clusters (NGC 6266, NGC 6273, NGC 6681) located in the Galactic bulge. The wide-field photometric data were obtained in BVI bands with the MOSAIC II camera at CTIO 4 m Blanco telescope. The derived color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) contain stars in a total $71^{\prime}{\times}71^{\prime}$ area including a cluster and its surrounding field outside of the tidal radius of the cluster. Applying statistical filtering technique, we minimized the field star contaminations on the obtained cluster CMDs and extracted the cluster members. On the spatial stellar density maps around the target clusters, we found overdensity features beyond the tidal radii of the clusters. We also found that the radial density profiles of the clusters show departures from the best-fit King model for their outer regions which support the overdensity patterns.
