The mangrove algal flora of Guam and the Federated States of Micronesia has been poorly explored. We add to our knowledge of this region by observations of collections from these regions. This paper presents new and additional records of: Rhodophyta-Acrochaetium globosum, Colaconema sp., Caulacanthus indicus, Bostrychia moritziana / B. radicans, B. radicosa, B. simpliciuscula, B. kelanensis and B. tenella, Murrayella periclados, and Caloglossa ogasawaraensis; Chlorophyta-Boodleopsis carolinensis; and Phaeophyceae-Dictyota adnata, Dictyotopsis propagulifera, and Canistrocarpus cervicornis. Most specimens were cultured to investigate their reproductive biology and many specimens were further identified using molecular data. Low molecular weight carbohydrates (dulcitol, sorbitol, and digeneaside) were identified in samples of B. radicosa and B. simpliciuscula. We also present data on manganese-rich deposits found on B. simpliciuscula and B. tenella in culture, possibly formed by epiphytic bacteria.

The present investigation was carried out to identify salivary components of mucosal pellicle and to explore the difference of mucosal pellicle components according to the location of oral mucosa. By using antisera and immunoblotting, high-(MG1) and low-(MG2) molecular-mass salivary mucins, amylase, IgA, proline-rich proteins(PRPs) were detected in mucosal pellicle in vivo. In addition, the data indicated that mucins, IgA and proline-rich proteins could be cleaved into lower-molecular-mass products, whereas the IgA, proline-rich proteins could also be cross-linked into higher-molecular-mass complexes. Mucosal pellicles from buccal, labial and palatal mucosa showed similar pattern in immunoblotting experiments using anti-MG2 and anti-PRPs antisera. The data from this study suggest that during mucosal pellicle formation multiple components of saliva adsorb to oral mucosal epithelial cell surfaces, and selected components can be proteolytically cleaved into smaller fragments and/or cross-linked into higher-molecular products.

A rapid and efficient method for analyzing the nonionic surfactants and silicone polymers, which control the shape and characteristics of cosmetic products and give influence on product quality, has been developed using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI- TOF IMS). The MALDI-TOF/MS could easily and effectively determine the molecular weight distribution and monomer units of nonionic surfactants. As a result, creating a library of mass spectrum data of surfactants used in cosmetic products using MALDI-TOF/MS and analyzing surfactants extracted from the products may become a useful method for detailed structural characterization of the surfactants. Furthermore, the MALDI-TOF/MS analysis was effective in obtaining the spectrum of silicone polymers from which the molecular weight distribution could be determined. The repetition units and structural data could also be obtained through molecular mass peaks. Additionally, the monomer ratio and terminal groups as properties of silicone copolymers could be determined

Results from a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation are presented for an argon liquid subject to a shear flow. The segmented molecular dynamics method and the subtraction technique used in NEMD program to reduce the thermal fluctuation noise in data are studied with different shear rates. The standard deviation in the shear stress reduced from 0.030 to 0.004 by the segmented molecular dynamics method for 50 repeated segments. On the other hand, the standard deviation of the data remained the same when the subtraction technique was applied, where as the results of shear stress by constant value in a random way.

The ticks feed large amount of blood from their hosts and transmit pathogens to the victims. The salivary gland plays an important role in the blood feeding. When the female ticks are near engorgement, the salivary gland gradually loses its functions and begins to rapidly degenerate. In this study, data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomics was used to study changes in the phosphorylation modification of proteins during salivary gland degeneration in Haemaphysalis longicornis. In this quantitative study, 400 phosphorylated proteins and 850 phosphorylation modification sites were identified. Trough RNA interference experiments, we found that among the proteins with changes in phosphorylation, apoptosis-promoting Hippo protein played a role in salivary gland degeneration.

Control of plasma processing methodologies can only occur by obtaining a thorough understanding of the physical and chemical properties of plasmas. However, all plasma processes are currently used in the industry with an incomplete understanding of the coupled chemical and physical properties of the plasma involved. Thus, they are often 'non-predictive' and hence it is not possible to alter the manufacturing process without the risk of considerable product loss. Only a more comprehensive understanding of such processes will allow models of such plasmas to be constructed that in turn can be used to design the next generation of plasma reactors. Developing such models and gaining a detailed understanding of the physical and chemical mechanisms within plasma systems is intricately linked to our knowledge of the key interactions within the plasma and thus the status of the database for characterizing electron, ion and photon interactions with those atomic and molecular species within the plasma and knowledge of both the cross-sections and reaction rates for such collisions, both in the gaseous phase and on the surfaces of the plasma reactor. The compilation of databases required for understanding most plasmas remains inadequate. The spectroscopic database required for monitoring both technological and fusion plasmas and thence deriving fundamental quantities such as chemical composition, neutral, electron and ion temperatures is incomplete with several gaps in our knowledge of many molecular spectra, particularly for radicals and excited (vibrational and electronic) species. However, the compilation of fundamental atomic and molecular data required for such plasma databases is rarely a coherent, planned research program, instead it is a parasitic process. The plasma community is a rapacious user of atomic and molecular data but is increasingly faced with a deficit of data necessary to both interpret observations and build models that can be used to develop the next-generation plasma tools that will continue the scientific and technological progress of the late 20th and early 21st century. It is therefore necessary to both compile and curate the A&M data we do have and thence identify missing data needed by the plasma community (and other user communities). Such data may then be acquired using a mixture of benchmarking experiments and theoretical formalisms. However, equally important is the need for the scientific/technological community to recognize the need to support the value of such databases and the underlying fundamental A&M that populates them. This must be conveyed to funders who are currently attracted to more apparent high-profile projects.

본 연구에서는 $1,000^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 열처리된 활성탄에서 다이옥신과 유사구조를 갖는 o-DCB(ortho-dichlorobenzene)의 등온흡착식을 실험을 통하여 구하였고, 분자모사를 통하여 예측하였다. 실험으로 분석된 활성탄의 분자식 및 작용기 비율을 바탕으로 초기 활성탄 기본구조를 설계한 후, COMPASS(condensed-phase optimized molecular potentials for atomistic simulation studies) force field를 이용하여 이 구조를 최적화하였다. 최적화된 활성탄 분자구조에서 공극률, 비표면적, 및 입자밀도의 모사결과는 실험값과 비교되었고, 이들에 대한 실험과 모사결과의 오차는 각각 7.62, 3.79, 2.80%를 보여주었다. 통계 열역학적 방법인 GCMC(Grand Canonical Monte Carlo) 기법을 이용하여, 최적화된 활성탄 구조에서 온도에 따른 o-DCB의 등온흡착 상수값을 예측하였으며, 이 모사결과는 실험값과 비교될 때, 3% 이하의 오차를 보였다. o-DCB의 흡착특성을 바탕으로 확인되어진 활성탄 구조에서 다이옥신의 일종인 2,3,7,8-TCDD(tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) 등온흡착상수, 흡착열, 그리고 기공확산계수를 최종적으로 구함으로서, 실험적으로 구하기 힘든 맹독성 잔류성 유기물질의 흡착특성을 분자모사기법을 통하여 예측하였다.

본 논문에서는 분자영상의 궁극적 목표를 달성하기 위하여 분자영상의 특징 추출 기법을 제안하였다. 실험영상을 DWT 변환결과로 실험한 결과 1레벨과 2레벨의 분해 결과에서는 저주파 영역의 성분이 나타나지만 3레벨 분해 결과에서는 데이터 성분이 거의 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 육안으로 관찰은 되지 않지만 3레벨 분해한 결과의 데이터 값을 출력하였다. 데이터의 출력은 DWT에 의하여 나타나는 저주파영역의 수평방향과 수직방향의 데이터, 고주파영역의 수평방향의 데이터와 수직방향의 데이터, 대각고주파영역의 수평방향과 수직방향의 데이터를 출력하여 분자영상과 다른 디지털영상인 CT, MRI, PET영상의 데이터와 비교할 수 있게 하였다.
