The region responsible for replication of the megaplasmid pAtC58 in the nopaline-type Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58 was determined. A derivative ofa Co1E1 vector, pBluscript SK-, incapable of autonomous replication in Agrobacterium spp, was cloned with a 7.6-kb Bg1II-HindIII fragment from a cosmid clone of pAtC58, which contains a region adjacent to the operon for the utilization of deoxyfructosyl glutamine (DFG). The resulting plasmid conferred resistance to carbenicillin on the A. tumefaciens strain UIA5 that is a plasmidfree derivative of C58. The plasmid was stably maintained in the strain even after consecutive cultures for generations. Analysis of nested deletions of the 7.6-kb fragment showed that a 4.3-kb BglII-XhoI region sufficiently confers replication of the derivative of the ColE1 vector on UIA5. The region comprises three ORFs, which have high homologies with repA, repB, and repC of plasm ids in virulent Agrobacterium spp. including pTiC58, pTiB6S3, pTi-SAKURA, and pRiA4b as well as those of symbiotic plasmids from Rhizobium spp. Phylogenie analysis showed that rep genes in pAtC58 are more closely related to those in pRiA4 than to pTi plasmids including pTiC58, suggesting that the two inborn plasmids, pTiC58 and pAtC58, harbored in C58 evolved from distinct origins.

Nopaline-type Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58 cannot utilize octopine (Oct) as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources. This strain harbors two plasmids; a virulent plasmid, pTiC58, and a megaplasmid, pAtC58. From strain NT1, which is a derivative of C58 harboring only pAtC58, we isolated spontaneous mutants that utilize Oct as the sole nitrogen source. These Oct-catabolizing mutants, however, could not utilize the opine as the sole carbon source. In contrast, strain UIA5, a plasmid-free derivative of C58, could not give rise to such mutants. The mutations isolated from NT1 were mapped to socR in pAtC58, which is a negative regulator of the soc operon responsible for the uptake and catabolism of an Amadori opine, deoxyfructosyl glutamine (Dfg). A derivative of UIA5 carrying a clone of the soc operon with a transposon inserted in socR also utilizes Oct as the sole nitrogen source. However, UIA5 harboring the operon with mutations in each of the structural genes in the soc operon, socA, B, C, and D, lost the ability to generate spontaneous Oct-utilizing mutants, suggesting that soc genes in pAtC58 are required for the utilization of Oct as a nitrogen source, and that derepressed expression of these genes allows cells to utilize Oct. In contrast, Oct-catabolizing mutants derived from C58, which grew using Oct as the sole nitrogen source, could also utilize the opine as the sole carbon source. These mutants did not carry any detectable mutations in socR or the region upstream to the gene in pAtC58, suggesting that mutations occurring elsewhere in the genome, most likely in pTiC58, allow the uptake and catabolism of the opine.

Loss factors of A356, Mn-Cu alloy and aluminum matrix composites reinforced with $SiC_p$ and Ni-coated graphite particles at various contents have been investigated using clamped-free cantilever beam method. The loss factors of half-power bandwidth of the specimens were measured over a wide range of frequencies from 50 to 3300Hz. Among the specimens, Al-10%$SiC_p$-10%$C_p$ showed the highest loss factor at the mode I, while Mn-Cu alloy showed the highest loss factors at the modes II and III. Consequently, at the mode I the Al-10%$SiC_p$--10%$C_p$ showed the loss factor of 0.00093, which is 2.64 and 1.58 times higher than those of A356 and Mn-Cu alloy, respectively.

Objective : To measure the orientation of the facet joints of cervical spine (C-spine) segments in the sagittal plane, known as the pedicle-facet (P-F) angle, and to use these measurements to evaluate the relationship between the P-F angle and the amount of vertebral anterolisthesis in patients with degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis (DCS). Methods : A retrospective case-control study was performed including 30 age- and sex-matched patients with DCS and 30 control participants. Anterior-posterior and lateral view radiographs of the C-spine were obtained in a standing position. The P-F angle at all cervical levels and the amount of anterolisthesis at C4-5 were measured from lateral view plain radiographs. Results : The P-F angles at C4-5 were $141.14{\pm}7.14^{\circ}$ for the DCS group and $130.53{\pm}13.50^{\circ}$ (p=0.012) for the control group, and at C5-6 were $137.46{\pm}8.53^{\circ}$ for the DCS group and $128.53{\pm}16.01^{\circ}$ for the control group (p=0.001). The mean P-F angle at C4-5 did not correlate with the amount of anterolisthesis (p=0.483). The amount of anterior slippage did correlate with age (p<0.001). Conclusion : The P-F angle was intrinsically higher at C4-5, compared to C5-6, in both the DCS and control groups, which might explain the increased likelihood for anterolisthesis of C4. Higher P-F angles in the DCS group may be a predisposing factor to slippage. The P-F angle may interact with age to increase incidence of anterolisthesis with increasing age.

Production and some properties of chitinolytic enzymes were investigated by 80% ammonium sulfate precipitates (crude enzymes) from culture supernatant of antagonistic bacteria, Chromobacterium violaceum strain C-61 and strain C-72, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae, and Serratia marcescens. The maximum production of chitinase was obtained from the 3-day culture at 28$^{\circ}C$ in C. violaceum stains, the 6-day culture in S. marcescens, and the 2-day culture in A. hydrophila and A. caviae. In the optimum culture periods, chitinase activity of C. violaceum strains C-61 was 1.5, 5.5, 12.0 and 11.3 times higher than those of strain C-72, S. marcescens, A. hydrophila and A. caviae, respectively. However, N,N'-diacetylchitobiase activity was 3.2 times higher in S. marcescens than in C. violaceum strain C-61, and that of Aeromonas spp.was very low. On gels containing glycol chitin, chitinase of C. violaceum strains showed four isoforms of 54-, 52-, 50- and 37-kDa, whereas there were four isoforms of 58-, 52-, 48- and 38-kDa in S. arcescens, three isoforms of 70-, 58- and 54-kDa in A. hydrophila and six isoforms of 90-, 79-, 71-, 63-, 58- and 38-kDa in A. caviae. The chitinase of C. violaceum strain C-61 was most active at pH 7.0 and at 5$0^{\circ}C$ and was stable in ranges of pH 5.0~10.0 for 2 hours and of 0~5$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

The growth kinetics of intermetallic compound layers formed between eutectic Sn-58Bi solder and (Cu, electroless Ni-P/Cu) substrate were investigated at temperature between 70 and 120 C for 1 to 60 days. The layer growth of intermetallic compound in the couple of the Sn-58Bi/Cu and Sn-58Bi/electroless Ni-P system satisfied the parabolic law at given temperature range. As a whole, because the values of time exponent (n) have approximately 0.5, the layer growth of the intermetallic compound was mainly controlled by volume diffusion over the temperature range studied. The apparent activation energies of Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ and Ni$_3$Sn$_4$ intermetallic compound in the couple of the Sn-58Bi/Cu and Sn-58Bi/electroless Ni-P were 127.9 and 81.6 kJ/mol, respectively.ely.

42Sn-58Bi 솔더(이하 wt.$\%$에 의한 표기)와 무전해 Ni-P/치환 Au under bump metallurgy (UBM) 간의 계면 반응을 intermetallic compound (IMC)의 형성과 성장, UBM의 감소, 그리고 범프 전단강도의 영향 관점에서 시효 처리 전 후에 어떠한 변화가 생기는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 치환 Au 층을 $5{\mu}m$ 두께의 무전해 Ni-P ($14{\~}15 at.\%$ P)위에 세 가지 각기 다른 두께, 즉 $0{\mu}m$(순수한 무전해 Ni-P UBM), $0.1{\mu}m$, $1{\mu}m$로 도금하였다. 그 후 42Sn-58Bi 솔더 범프를 세 가지 다른 UBM 구조에 스크린프린팅 방식으로 형성하였다. 범프 형성 직후에는 세 가지 다른 UBM구조에서 솔더와 UBM 사이에 공통적으로 $Ni_3Sn_4$ IMC (IMC1) 만이 형성됐다. 하지만, 이를 $125^{\circ}C$에서 시효 처리를 할 경우 특이하게 Au를 함유한 UBM 구조에서는 $Ni_3Sn_4$ 위로 또 다른 4원계 화합물 (IMC2)이 관찰되었다. 원자 비로 $Sn_{77}Ni{15}Bi_6Au_2$인 4원계 화합물로 확인되었다. $Sn_{77}Ni{15}Bi_6Au_2$ 층은 솔더 조인트의 접합성에 매우 치명적인 영향을 미쳤다. 시효 처리를 거친 Au를 함유한 UBM 구조에서 솔더 범프의 전단 강도 값은 시효 처리 전에 비해 $40\%$ 이상의 감소를 보였다.

본 연구는 상변화물질로써 용융점온도가 $62^{\circ}C$인 파라핀($C_{28}H_{58}$)과 용융점온도가 $79^{\circ}C$인 피로인산나트륨($Na_4P_2O_7{\cdot}10H_2O$)을 사용하여 축열 및 방열과정 시 잠열축열조내에서 각 상변화물질의 시간경과에 따른 온도특성 및 열전달현상을 실험적으로 규명한 것으로 각 상변화물질의 온도분포와 축열량 및 방열량을 계산하고 이를 비교, 검토한 것이다. 파라핀의 경우 축열과정초기에 자연대류 열전달현상으로 인하여 온도가 서서히 증가하는 반면 피로인산나트륨의 경우는 전도 열전달 현상의 지배적인 영향으로 인하여 축열과정 초기에 온도가 급격히 증가하는 형태로 나타났다. 또한 축열 및 방열과정 시 파라핀의 경우 tube의 상하부벽면에서의 온도변화와 중심부의 온도변화가 큰 차이를 보였으나 피로인산나트륨의 경우 tube의 상하부 벽면에서의 온도와 중심부에서의 온도는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 축열과정 시 동일질량에 대한 각 상변화물질의 축열량은 파라핀보다 피로인산나트륨이 약 16%정도 많은 것으로 나타났다.
