We describe here the cDNA sequence and mRNA expression of a novel serine pretense from the firefly, Pyrocoelia rufa. The 771 bp cDNA encodes for 257 amino acid residues. The deduced protein of P. rufa serine pretense gene contains the catalytic triad and six-conserved cysteine residues. Alignment of the deduced protein of P. rufa serine pretense gene showed 47.4% protein sequence identity to known coleopteran insect Rhyzopertha dominica midgut trpsin-like enzyme. Northern blot analysis revealed that the P. rufa serine pretense is specifically expressed in the midgut of P. rufa larvae.

The tire is considered as one of the important noise sources having an influence on vehicle's performance. The Pattern noise of a tire is the transmission sound of airborne noise. On smooth asphalt road, Pattern noise is amplified with the velocity. In recent, the study on the reduction of Pattern noise is energetically processed. Pattern noise is strongly related with pitch sequence. To reduce the pattern noise, tire's designer has to randomize the sequence of pitch. The FFT is a traditional method to evaluate the level of the randomization of the pitch sequence, but gives no information on time-varying, instantaneous frequency. In the study, we found that Time-Frequency transform is a useful method to non-stationary signal such as tire noise.

In this paper we propose the method of generating the maximum length sequence based on Self Programmable Cellular Automata. Recently there is a research trend such that increased CA dimensionality and PCA which applies different rules on the same cell at different time steps can make a sequence with a long period. By changing a cell's state transition rules to give the cell dynamic energy at each time step, we can make the period of a sequence longer and the randomness of a sequence higher.

For any non-negative real number ${\epsilon}_0$, we shall introduce a concept of the ${\epsilon}_0$-dense subset of $R^m$. Applying this concept, for any sequence {${\epsilon}_n$} of positive real numbers, we also introduce the concept of the {${\epsilon}_n$}-attainable sequence and of the points of {${\epsilon}_n$}-attainable ace in the open subset of $R^m$. We also study the characteristics of those sequences and of the points of {${\epsilon}_n$}-dense ace. And we research the conditions that an {${\epsilon}_n$}-attainable sequence has no {${\epsilon}_n$}-attainable ace. We hope to reconsider the social consideration on the ace in social life by referring to these concepts about the aces.

This paper shows the performances of asynchronous binary direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple access communication systems with Rayleigh fading and White Gaussian noise. The performance measures considered are worst-case bit error probability and average SNR depending on code sequences and chip waveforms. The code sequences used are m-sequence and Gold sequence with period 31.The chip waveforms employed are rectangular, sinusoidal and something other chip waveforms.

Let (R,m) be a Noetherian local ring and M a finitely generated R-module. For an integer s > -1, we say that M is Cohen-Macaulay in dimension > s if every system of parameters of M is an M-sequence in dimension > s introduced by Brodmann-Nhan [1]. In this paper, we give some characterizations for Cohen-Macaulay modules in dimension > s in terms of the Noetherian dimension of the local cohomology modules $H^i_m(M)$, the polynomial type of M introduced by Cuong [5] and the multiplicity e($\underline{x}$;M) of M with respect to a system of parameters $\underline{x}$.

A strain-specific identification method is required to secure Chlorella strains with useful genetic traits, such as a fast growth rate or high lipid productivity, for application in biofuels, functional foods, and pharmaceuticals. Microsatellite markers based on simple sequence repeats can be a useful tool for this purpose. Therefore, this study developed five novel microsatellite markers (mChl-001, mChl-002, mChl-005, mChl-011, and mChl-012) using specific loci along the chloroplast genome of Chlorella vulgaris. The microsatellite markers were characterized based on their allelic diversities among nine strains of C. vulgaris with the same 18S rRNA sequence similarity. Each microsatellite marker exhibited 2~5 polymorphic allele types, and their combinations allowed discrimination between seven of the C. vulgaris strains. The two remaining strains were distinguished using one specific interspace region between the mChl-001 and mChl-005 loci, which was composed of about 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms, 13~15 specific sequence sites, and (T)n repeat sites. Thus, the polymorphic combination of the five microsatellite markers and one specific locus facilitated a clear distinction of C. vulgaris at the strain level, suggesting that the proposed microsatellite marker system can be useful for the accurate identification and classification of C. vulgaris.

Video contents in the mobile environment are processed with the low bit-rate relative to normal video contents due to the consideration of network traffic; hence, it is necessary to protect the copyright of the low bit-rate video contents. The algorithm for watermarking appropriate for the mobile environment should be developed because the performance of the mobile devices is much lower than that of personal computers. This paper suggested the invisible spread spectrum watermarking method to the low bit-rate video contents, considering the low performance of the mobile device in the M-Commerce environment; it also enables to track down illegal users of the video contents to protect the copyright. The robustness of the contents with watermark is expressed with the correlation of extraction algorithm from watermark removed or distorted contents. The results of our experiment showed that we could extract the innate frequencies of M-Sequence when we extracted M-Sequence after compressing the contents with watermark easily. Therefore, illegal users of the contents can be tracked down because watermark can be extracted from the low bit-rate video contents.

By applying population synthesis method, stellar populations in the nuclei of M31 and M32 are studied. We obtained five and four models for M31 and M32 respectively, for different main sequence turn-offs and keeping the astrophysical constraints as loose as possible. The best models for M31 and M32 are thought to have G0-5 and F5-8 main sequence trun-offs respectively. These models show that the main sequence stars outnumber the giants, which indicates the dwarf-dominance in external galactic nuclei. Even though there are some computational difficulties because of non-uniqueness in solution, two major points can be pointed out when compared to the previous papers. First, the ultraviolet deficiency expected from the conventional metal rich population models is not detected in our models, Instead ultraviolet radiation turns out to be somewhat higher than that of observation. Second one is the minor contribution from the Super Metal Rich (SMR) K giants to the integrated light of the program galaxies. That is, in our models, the SMR contribution is at best the same level as normal giants contrary to the SMR dominance of previous models. Since the loose astrophysical constraints are the major difference of our study from the previous ones, one should re-examine carefully for their validity further.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain Chinju99, which was previously isolated from piglets suffering from severe diarrhea was used to characterize the membrane (M) protein gene to establish the molecular information, and the results will be useful in elucidating concepts related to molecular pathogenesis and antigenic structures of PEDV isolates. The Chinju99 M gene generated by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) consisted of 681 bases containing 22.3% adenine, 22.3% cytosine, 23.1% guanine and 32.3% thymine nucleotides, and the GC content was 45.4%. It had some nucleotide mismatches from M gene of other PEDV strains, such as CV777, Br1/87, KPEDV-9, JMe2, JS2004-2 and LJB-03 with 97-99% nucleotide sequence homology to these strains. Also, it encoded a protein of 226 amino acids, which had some mismatches from those of CV777, Br1/87, KPEDV-9, JMe2, JS20004-2 and LJB-03, as the amino acid sequence homology showed a 97-98% to these strains. The Chinju99 had a very close relationship to the Japanese strain JMe2 for the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the M gene. The amino acids predicted from Chinju99 M gene consisted of mostly hydrophobic residues and contained three potential sites for asparagine (N)-linked glycosylation, two serine (S)-linked phosphorylation sites by protein kinase C, and two S- or threonine (T)-linked phosphorylation sites by casein kinase II.
