  • We have characterized a phage library displaying random 22mer peptides which were produced as N-terminal fusions to the pIII coat protein of M13 filamentous phages. Among the sixty phages randomly picked from the library, 25 phages had the 22mer peptide inserts. The DNA sequence analysis of the 25 inserts showed the following results: first, each nucleotide was represented almost equally at each codon position except that there were some biases toward G bases at the first position of the codons. Secondly, the expected 47 sense codons were represented. The deduced amino acid sequences of the 25 inserts were analyzed to examine its diversity. Glycine and glutamate were the two most overrepresented residues above the expected value, whereas cysteine and threonine residues were underrepresented. The range of dicersity in dipeptide sequences showed that the amino acid residues were randomly distributed along the peptide insert. Acidic, basic, polar, and nonpolar amino acid residues were represented to the extent expected at most positions of the peptide inserts. The predicted isoelectric points and hydropathy indices of the 25 peptides showed that a variety of the peptide were represented in the library. These results indicate that this phage display library could be useful in fiuding ligands for a broad spectrum of receptors by affinity screening.

  • The determination of DNA hybridization can apply the molecular biology research. clinic diagnostics. bioengineering, environment monitoring, food science and other application area. So, The determination of hybridization is very important for the improvement of DNA detection system. In this study, we report the characterization of the DNA hybridization by the electricalchemical methods. The probe oligonucleotide was used to determine the amount of target oligonucleotide in solution using Methylen Blue(MB) as the electrochemical indicators. The cathodic peak currents($I_{peak}$) of MB were linearly related to the concentration of the target oligonucleotide sequence in the range $1[{\mu}M]{\sim}0.1[{\mu}M]$. The detection limit of this approach was 0.01[nM]. As a result, the match oligonucleotide(CR-1) was most stable state and the peak of redox current measured by DNA hybridization detection sensors by using electrochemical method seem to be similar to 1-mer terminal mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-3). The MR-2, MR-3, MR-22 and MR-33 have each mismatching sequence of central and terminal. With this set the role of point mutations was to be investigated. Terminal mismatch oligonucleotide (MR-3, 33) is shown more stable state than central mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-2, 22). And 1-mer mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-2 or 3) is shown more stable state than 2-mer mismatch oligonucleotide(MR-22 or 33).

  • During the past two decades, a lot of researches have been done on the synthesis of grassroot heat exchanger networks(HEN). However, few have been dedicated to retrofit of existing heat exchanger networks, which usually use more amount of utilities (i.e. steam and/or cooling water) than the minimum requirements. This excess gives motivation of trades-off between energy saving and rearranging investment. In this paper, an algorithmic-evolutionary synthesis procedure for retrofitting heat exchanger networks is proposed. It consists of two stages. First, after the amount of maximum energy recovery(MER) is computed, a grass-root network featuring minimum number of units(MNU) is synthesized. In this stage, a systematic procedure of synthesizing MNU networks is presented. It is based upon the concept of pinch, from which networks are synthesized in a logical way by the heuristics verified by the pinch technology. In the second stage, since an initial feasible network is synthesized based on the pre-analysis result of MER and must-matches, an assignment problem between new and existing units is solved to minimize total required additional areas. After the existing units are assigned, the network can be improved by switching some units. For this purpose, an improvement problem is formulated and solved to utilize the areas of existing units as much as possible. An example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • The Objective of this study was to design the model which predict the future cash flow of hospitals and on the basis of designed model to support sound hospital management by the prediction of future cash flow. The five cash flow measurement variables discussed in financial accrual part were used as variables and these variables were defined as NI, NIDPR, CFO, CFAI, CC. To measure the cash flow B/S related variables, P/L related variables and financial ratio related variables were utilized in this study. To measure cash flow models were designed and to estimate the prediction ability of five cash flow models, the martingale model and the market model were utilized. To estimate relative prediction outcome of cash flow prediction model and simple market model, MAE and MER were used to compare and analyze relative prediction ability of the cash flow model and the market model and to prove superiority of the model of the cash flow prediction model, 32 Regional Public Hospital's cross-section data and 4 year time series data were combined and pooled cross-sectional time series regression model was used for GLS-analysis. To analyze this data, Firstly, each cash flow prediction model, martingale model and market model were made and MAE and MER were estimated. Secondly difference-test was conducted to find the difference between MAE and MER of cash flow prediction model. Thirdly after ranking by size the prediction of cash flow model, martingale model and market model, Friedman-test was evaluated to find prediction ability. The results of this study were as follows: when t-test was conducted to find prediction ability among each model, the error of prediction of cash flow model was smaller than that of martingale and market model, and the difference of prediction error cash flow was significant, so cash flow model was analyzed as excellent compare with other models. This research results can be considered conductive in that present the suitable prediction model of future cash flow to the hospital. This research can provide valuable information in policy-making of hospital's policy decision. This research provide effects as follows; (1) the research is useful to estimate the benefit of hospital, solvency and capital supply ability for substitution of fixed equipment. (2) the research is useful to estimate hospital's liqudity, solvency and financial ability. (3) the research is useful to estimate evaluation ability in hospital management. Furthermore, the research should be continued by sampling all hospitals and constructed advanced cash flow model in dimension, established type and continued by studying unified model which is related each cash flow model.

  • SSR은 병렬적으로 반복되는 작은 DNA서열을 말하며, 다양한 마커 기반 연구에 활용되고 있다. 국내의 주요 느타리품종인 '흑타리'와 '미소'의 유전체를 Pacbio를 이용하여 해독하였고 이 서열 정보에서 생물정보학을 이용하여 SSR을 분리하여 특성구명을 하였다. '흑타리'와 '미소' 유래 단핵균사의 유전체의 크기는 각각 40.8 Mbp와 40.3 Mbp로 밝혀졌고, 이는 사철느타리의 단핵균사 PC9과 PC15보다 컸으나, 큰느타리보다는 작았다. 총 949개와 968개의 SSR이 '흑타리'와 '미소'의 유전체 분석을 통하여 각각 검출되었다. 5개의 느타리류 유전체의 SSR 분포와 특징을 비교분석한 결과 흑타리와 미소의 SSR 갯수가 가장 많았으며, 이들의 반복서열의 분포는 다른 느타리류와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 3-mers, 6-mers와 8-mers가 가장 발견빈도가 높은 패턴이었다.

  • In this study, energy performance of two types of food dryers which are electric heater and heat pump is studied experimentally. With drying chamber temperatures controlled at 45, 50 and $55^{\circ}C$, sliced radish is dried from an initial mass of 90 to final 7 kg. Moisture content, drying time, total power consumption, MER (moisture extraction rate, kg/h) and SMER (specific moisture extraction rate, kg/kWh) are measured and analyzed. As the drying chamber temperature is increased, drying time is shortened but energy efficiency is reduced for both types. For an electric heater dryer, the effect of chamber temperature on drying time is significant but less significant on energy efficiency. For a heat pump dryer, the dependence of chamber temperature on drying time is weak but strong on energy efficiency. Temperature levels have little effect on electric heater dryer performance but strong effect on heat pump dryer which operates on a vapor compression refrigeration cycle. The energy performance of the heat pump dryer is superior with an average SMER of 2.175 kg/kWh which is 2.22 times greater than that of the electric heater dryer with SMER of 1.224 kg/kWh.

  • 백합과 화훼작물의 품종구분을 위하여 RAPD 방법이 사용되어졌다. Operon사에서 구입한 10개의 10-mer random primer를 이용한 RAPD 실험결과 모두 107개의 밴드가 관찰되었고, 관찰된 밴드는 300bp 에서 2kb의 범위에 속했으며, 같은 계통 내에서는 동일한 밴드양상을 나타내었다. 그러나 Casa Blanca와 Adelina는 동일계통 내 다른 품종들과 다른 밴드 양상을 보였다. L. longiflorum내의 품종들은 서로 다른 밴드 양상을 나타내었다. Random primers, OPA-02, 03, 04, 14, 16 그리고 17로 형성된 DNA 밴드들은 Lilium의 서로 다른 cultivar와 hybrid를 구분하는 marker로도 이용이 가능하리라 생각된다.

  • Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has a role in inducing emergency hematopoiesis upon exposure to inflammatory stimuli. Although GM-CSF generated murine bone marrow derived cells have been widely used as macrophages or dendritic cells in research, the exact characteristics of each cell population have not yet been defined. Here we discriminated GM-CSF grown bone marrow derived macrophages (GM-BMMs) from dendritic cells (GM-BMDCs) in several criteria. After C57BL/6J mice bone marrow cell culture for 7 days with GM-CSF supplementation, two main populations were observed in the attached cells based on MHCII and F4/80 marker expressions. GM-BMMs had $MHCII^{low}F4/80^{high}$ as well as $CD11c^+CD11b^{high}CD80^-CD64^+MerTK^+$ phenotypes. In contrast, GM-BMDCs had $MHCII^{high}F4/80^{low}$ and $CD11c^{high}CD8{\alpha}^-CD11b^+CD80^+CD64^-MerTK^{low}$ phenotypes. Interestingly, the GM-BMM population increased but GM-BMDCs decreased in a GM-CSF dose-dependent manner. Functionally, GM-BMMs showed extremely high phagocytic abilities and produced higher IL-10 upon LPS stimulation. GM-BMDCs, however, could not phagocytose as well, but were efficient at producing $TNF{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-12p70 and IL-6 as well as inducing T cell proliferation. Finally, whole transcriptome analysis revealed that GM-BMMs and GM-BMDCs are overlap with in vivo resident macrophages and dendritic cells, respectively. Taken together, our study shows the heterogeneicity of GM-CSF derived cell populations, and specifically characterizes GM-CSF derived macrophages compared to dendritic cells.

  • The 77 K emission and excitation spectra, and 298 K infrared and absorption spectra of [Cr(progly)(2,2-tri)]CIO$_4$[progly=prolylglycinate,2,2-tri=N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine] have been measured. The vibrational intervals of the electronic ground state are extracted from emission and infrared spectra. The twelve electronic bands due to spin-allowed and spin-forbidden transitions were assigned. Using the observed electronic transitions, a ligand field analysis was performed to determine the metaligand bonding properties for the coordinated atoms. It is found that the carboxylate oxygen of the progly is a strong $\sigma$-and $\pi$-donor while the peptide nitrogen has weak $\pi$-donor property toward chromium(III) ion.
