Sound intensity techniques and ODS(Operational Deflection Shape) techniques are applied to identify the acoustic noise source of a hard disk drive and its control system. The sound intensity is used to visualize the noise source locations, and the ODS information to visualize the vibration pattern and to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the noise sources. The measurement systems are customized to accurately measure the sound intensity and ODS distributions of HDD system in space domains as well as frequency domains. The measurement systems for the sound absorption and transmission loss of materials are also used to support the background data for the efficient noise control. Using the visual information of source locations and its dynamic characteristics, the partial noise barrier structure and optimum absorption are designed and its controlled sound power level is proved to be under 3.1 Bel(Idle)/3.3Bel (Seek) which is the lowest level in the disk drive industry.

The identification , characterization and quantification of Plasmodium sp. genetic polymorphism are becoming increasingly important in the vaccine development. We investigated polymorphism of Plasmodium vivax GAM-1 (PvGAM-1) gene in 30 Korean isolates. The polymorphic region of the PvGAM-1 gene, corresponding to nt 3792-4029, was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by sequencing. All of the P. viuax Korean isolates were one type of GAM-1 gene, which were identical to that of the Belem strain. It is suggested that PvGAM-1 could not be used as a genetic marker for identifying or classifying P. vivax Korean isolates. It revealed that the polymorphic pattern as acquired basically by duplication and modification or deletion event of a 33 bp-motif fragment ended by poly guanine (G) and that there were at least three complete and one partial 33 Up-motif sequences within the polymorphic region in the longest cases such as those of South Korean and Belem isolates. In addition, we clustered P. vivax isolates with parsimonious criteria on the basis of PvGAM- 1 polymorphic patterns (insertion/deletion patterns) .

Gobiids are hyperdiverse compared with other teleost groups, with about 2,000 species occurring in marine, freshwater, and blackish habitats, and they show a remarkable variety of morphologies and ecology. Testing the effectiveness of DNA barcodes on species that have emerged as a result of radiation remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Here, we used the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences from 144 species of gobies and related species to evaluate the performance of distance-based DNA barcoding and to conduct a phylogenetic analysis. The average intra-genus genetic distance was considerably higher than that obtained in previous studies. Additionally, the interspecific divergence at higher taxonomic levels was not significantly different from that at the intragenus level, suggesting that congeneric gobies possess substantial interspecific sequence divergence in their COI gene. However, levels of intragenus divergence varied greatly among genera, and we do not provide sufficient evidence for using COI for cryptic species delimitation. Significantly more nucleotide changes were observed at the third codon position than that at the first and the second codons, revealing that extensive variation in COI reflects synonymous changes and little protein level variation. Despite clear signatures in several genera, the COI sequences did resolve genealogical relationships in the phylogenetic analysis well. Our results support the validity of COI barcoding for gobiid species identification, but the utilization of more gene regions will assist to offer a more robust gobiid species phylogeny.

Employment of the wave propagation approach with the combination of Pasternak foundation equation gives birth to the shell frequency equation. Mathematically, the integral form of the Lagrange energy functional is converted into a set of three partial differential equations. A cylindrical shell is placed on the elastic foundation of Pasternak. For isotropic materials, the physical properties are same everywhere, whereas the laminated and functionally graded materials, they vary from point to point. Here the shell material has been taken as functionally graded material. The influence of the elastic foundation, wave number, length and height-to-radius ratios is investigated with different boundary conditions. The frequencies of length-to-radius and height-to-radius ratio are counter part of each other. The frequency first increases and gain maximum value in the midway of the shell length and then lowers down for the variations of wave number. It is found that due to inducting the elastic foundation of Pasternak, the frequencies increases. It is also exhibited that the effect of frequencies is investigated by varying the surfaces with stainless steel and nickel as a constituent material. MATLAB software is utilized for the vibration of functionally graded cylindrical shell with elastic foundation of Pasternak and the results are verified with the open literature.

A bacterial strain, Bacillus megaterium L-49 has been isolated and identified that produces alkaline ${\alpha}$-amylase. The cell is ellipsoidal, about $1.0-1.2{\times}3.0-3.6{\mu}m$ in diameter, Gram-positive, motile, and central partial central. Growth occurs in media containing 7% of NaCl. This strain could utilize D-glucose, lactose, xylose, sucrose, mannose, and maltose, and but it does not utilize D-fructose, and glycogen. Among the various concentrations of saturated ammonium sulfate, the retractation ratio in range of 70 to 100% was about 93%. However, in the case of acetone, it was about 98.7%. EDTA has activating effect and Ca2+ has no effect on alkaline ${\alpha}$-amylase activity. The alkaline ${\alpha}$-amylase has low thermal stability. The optimal temperature for reaction is $50^{\circ}C$. The alkaline ${\alpha}$-amylase activity maintained stabilizing at pH 6-11 and the optimal pH for reaction was 9-10.

곰솔(Pinus thunbergii Parl.)의 잎에 서식하는 내생균의 다양성을 확인하기 위하여 충남 보령의 해안가에 서식하는 곰솔에서 잎을 채취하여 총 19개의 균주를 분리하였다. 분리된 내생균을 ITS 지역과 LSU 지역의 염기서열을 분석하여 동정한 결과 Anthostomella sepelibilis, Beltrania sp., Cladosporium sp., Coniochaeta velutina, Entonaema pallida, Lophodermium sp., Nigrospora sphaerica 등 총 7개 분류군의 내생균을 확보할 수 있었다. 이들 중 Beltrania sp.에 속하는 종이 가장 높은 빈도로 분리되었으며 내생균의 서식 환경이 곰솔의 잎에 서식하는 내생균의 분포에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study aimed to develop a semi-nested polymerase chain reaction assay for the direct detection of Mycoplasma synoviae (M. synoviae) from clinical samples using three newly designed oligonucleotide primers specific to the variable lipoprotein haemagglutinin (vlhA) gene and differentiate M. synoviae field strains based on a nucleotide deletion or the insertion of the proline-rich repeat (PRR) region of the vlhA gene. The developed semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay revealed positive results in 12 out of 100 clinical samples collected from chickens showing lameness and joint swelling. Six positive samples were selected randomly for sequencing, and sequence analysis revealed 96.3-100% nucleotide identities compared to the reference sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that sequences of the strains in this study were closely related to WVU1853 (Spain), CK.MS.UDL.PK.2014.2 (Pakistan), and F10-2AS (USA) strains, but they were distinct from the M. synoviae-H vaccine strain sequence. M. synoviae obtained from these samples were identified as types A and C with a length of 38 and 32 amino acids, respectively. These results indicated that the specific and sensitive semi-nested PCR could be a useful diagnostic tool for the direct identification of clinical samples, and the sequence analysis of the partial vlhA gene can be useful for typing M. Synoviae.

To isolate lactic acid bacteria having high exopolysaccharides (EPS) production ability, 50 strains were initially isolated from the sourdough. Twenty-one strains formed highly mucoid colonies on the sucrose agar medium, which are indicative of active EPS synthesis. DU-07, DU-10, DU-12, DU-19, and DU-21 produced $11.51{\pm}0.167$, $13.09{\pm}0.193$, $12.72{\pm}0.108$, $11.61{\pm}0.284$, and $13.32{\pm}0.094\;g/L$ EPS, respectively, in MRS medium. The isolated strains, DU-10, DU-12, and DU-21, were identified as Enterococcus flavescens, Enterococcus faecium, and Lactobacillus amylovorus, respectively, by using API 50CHL kit and determining partial sequences of their 16S rDNA. Especially, L. amylovorus DU-21 showed the highest production of EPS, as well as the highest inhibitory activities against pathogenic (p<0.05). Interestingly, the L. amylovorus DU-21 seem to be endemic to sourdough fermentations, as they have not been isolated from other environments.
