Based on the viscous flow characteristics of gas through capillary tube, a simple and low cost system was developed for controlling gas concentration for use in C.A experiments. The gas flow rate through capillary tube had a linear relationship with pressure, $(length)^{-1}$ and $(radius)^4$ of capillary tube, which agreed well with Hagen-Poiseuille's law. The developed system could control the gas concentration in storage chamber within ${\pm}0.3%$ deviation compared to the preset concentration. The required time for producing target gas concentration in storage chamber was exactly predicted by the model used in this study, and it required much longer time than the calculated time which divided the volume of chamber by flow rate. Therefore, for producing target gas concentration as quickly as possible, it needs to supply higher flow rate of gas during the initial stage of experiment when gas concentration in storage chamber has not reached at target value. It appeared that the developed system was very useful for C.A experiments. Because one could decide a desired flow rate by the prediction model, control flow rate freely and easily by changing pressure in the pressure-regulating chamber and the accuracy was high.

The incidence of second-grade milk production in 9 dairy farms of South Korea was investigated from May 2011 to March 2012, and the serum composition of cows producing first- and second-grade milk in 14 farms including the 9 farms was analyzed. The incidence rate of second-grade milk production of 402 cows in nine dairy farms located in the central and southwestern regions of Korea was 15.4% with the highest rate being 34.4%. Seasonal morbidity was higher during late winter (February) and early summer (June) with the highest rate observed in February (32.6%) followed by November (33.3%). Second-grade milk was most frequently found within one month postpartum (34.1%) while only 3.5% was found during the first 60~90 days of lactating period (n=785, 5 herds). The morbidity increased thereafter (P<0.05) with the highest observed between 270~300 days of lactation (36.1%). The acidity was not significantly different between second-grade ($0.159{\pm}0.026%$) and first-grade milk ($0.158{\pm}0.027%$). Blood serum analysis of 371 cows in the 14 dairy farms indicated that aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level was significantly higher (P<0.001) in cows producing second-grade milk while albumin was significantly lower (P<0.001) than cows producing first-grade milk. Total protein and triglyceride was also significantly low along with glucose, non-esterified fatty acid and blood urea nitrogen in cows producing second-grade milk. Statistical analysis including sensitivity, specificity and positive/negative prediction values showed that lactating cows with high AST, low albumin, total protein and triglyceride levels in the serum tended to produce second-grade milk. It was concluded that serological parameters, especially live functional and metabolic-related serum compositions (AST, albumin, total protein and triglyceride), were significantly influenced in cows producing second-grade milk.

치아우식증은 산에 의해 법랑질이 탈회되는 현상으로 소아 및 청소년기에 가장 흔히 발생하는 구강질환 중의 하나로서, 치아우식증의 원인요소 중 다른 인자들보다 객관적으로 조사할 수 있는 구강내 세균에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 이 연구는 구강내의 치태라는 고체상태의 조건과 유사한 상태로 Er:YAG 레이저가 구강내 산 생성세균인 S. mutans의 증식에 미치는 영향 및 레이저의 조사시간에 따른 차이를 평가하고자 하였다. Er:YAG 레이저의 구강내 산 생성 세균인 S. mutans에 대한 증식억제효과를 평가하기 위하여 S. mutans pellet에 Er:YAG 레이저를 비접촉식 방법으로, 50mJ, 10Hz, 그리고 조사시간을 1초, 3초, 5초, 7초, 9초로 달리하여 조사하고 이때의 세균의 성장률과 산 생성능을 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48시간 동안 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 레이저를 조사한 군이 레이저를 조사하지 않은 대조군에 비해 세균의 성장률이 감소되었다(P<0.01). 2. 레이저를 조사한 후 12시간까지 1, 3, 5초 조사군에 비해 7, 9초 조사군에서 세균의 성장율이 유의하게 감소되었으나(P<0.05), 24시간 후부터는 서로 유의할만한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. 레이저를 조사한 시간이 증가함에 따라 세균의 산 생성능력이 회복되는 시간이 길어짐이 관찰되었고 24시간 후에는 대조군과 차이를 보이지 않음으로써 일정 시간 이후에는 점차적으로 산 생성능력이 회복됨을 알 수 있었다.

To isolate yeast strains producing high concentration of ethanol, 125 strains were subjected to screening. Initially 14 strains able to grow in a medium containing 15%(v/v) ethanol, 7 strains capable of growing in a medium containing 50%(v/v) glucose, 23 strains having relatively fast fermentation rates, 13 strains able to grow at $42^{\circ}C$ were selected. After secondary screening, 11 strains having relatively high ini-tial fermentation rate and producing high concentration of ethanol were selected. After tertiary screening 5 strains producing high concentration of ethanol were selected. These 5 strains were again for their ethanol produc-tion, residual sugar, and viability using fermentation medium containing 25% glucose. The strain producing the highest concentration of ethanol was 20-1 strain which produced 10.56%(v/v) ethanol in 4 days, and the highest viable strain was 11-1 which produced 10.35%(v/v) ethanol(13.1%. v/v) with the viability of 30.44% after 5 days of fermentation. Both of the 20-1 and 11-1 strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

This study was carried out to develop a miller to produce white embryo rice with functional nutrients by improving the conventional vertical miller. The effects of rice moisture content and the shaft revolution speed of the miller on germ(embryo) adherence rate, whiteness, broken rice rate, and cracked rice rate were investigated. Also, the effect of the mesh size of emery stones on the germ adherence rate was investigated. The vertical prototype miller was improved with the increasement of about 42% in producing white embryo rice at proper conditions(shaft revolution speed of 900 rpm, emery stones of mesh ＃50, processing capacity of 2.3t/h, zero outlet resistance, rice moisture content of 16.2%). The results were as follows: 1. The germ adherence rate of white rice was significantly influenced by the moisture content of brown rice. The germ adherence rate of white rice decreased rapidly with the increase of the moisture content of brown rice. When brown rice with moisture content of 13.2%, 14.5%, 15.2%, 15.4% was milled by the prototype with emery stones of mesh ＃35 and shaft speed of 900(1,100) rpm, rpm adherence rate of milled rice was 76.2%(70%), 69.2%(66%), 45.9(38%), 13.0(9%), respectively. 2. The whiteness of white rice milled by the prototype with emery stones of mesh ＃35 and shaft speed of 1,100(900)rpm increased from 27(23) to about 40, respectively, as the moisture content of brown rice increased from 13.2% to 17.2%. 3. The rate of broken rice of white rice milled at 900rpm decreased by 0.6∼1.0% compared with that at 1,100rpm when the moisture content of brown rice was less than 15.2%. 4. The germ adherence rate was increased by 10.3% and 11.0%, respectively when brown rice with moisture content of 16.2% and 15.5% was milled by the prototype miller with shaft speed of 900rpm and emery stones of mesh ＃50 instead of mesh ＃35. 5. Considering the germ adherence rate, broken rice rate, and whiteness of milled rice, the proper milling conditions of the prototype miller for producing embryo rice were the moisture content of about 15%, the processing capacity of 2.3t/h and minimum outlet resistance of 0Nㆍm with shaft speed of 900rpm and emery stones of mesh ＃50.

Etiological agents of extended spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase (ESBL) producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) have become a major problem in urinary tract infections. The purpose of this study was to compare the molecular characteristics of ESBL producing UPEC strains isolated from 1989 and 2010. A total of 301 strains of UPEC clinical isolates was collected from Korean healthcare facility in 1989 (126 strains) and in 2010 (175 strains). UPEC clinical isolates were analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction method (ESBL related bla genes and phylogenetic groups) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Among 301 isolates, ESBL producing UPEC were 8 strains (6.3%) in 1989 isolates and 35 strains (20%) in 2010 isolates. The rate of bla genes in ESBL producing UPEC from 1989 isolates and 2010 isolates were $bla_{TEM}$ (75% and 85.7%), $bla_{CTX-M}$ (0% and 91.4%), $bla_{OXA}$ (25% and 20%), $bla_{PER}$ (0% and 2.9%). The distribution of phylogenetic groups in 1989 isolates and 2010 isolates were A (37.5% and 11.4%), B2 (12.5% and 51.4%), and D (50% and 37.1%). The most prevalent ESBL related bla gene and phylogenetic group were $bla_{CTX-M}$ (91.4%) and B2 (51.4%) in 2010 isolates, while $bla_{CTX-M}$ was not detected in 1989 isolates. Among 43 ESBL producing UPEC were grouped into 12 clusters up to 76% of genetic similarities by AFLP analysis. During past twenty one years, the rate of the ESBL producing UPEC strains in 2010 isolates was increased than that of in 1989 isolates. Also, the most prevalent ESBL related bla gene has been changed from $bla_{TEM}$ to $bla_{CTX-M}$.

Phenazine 1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is an antifungal antibiotic isolated from a culture filtrate of Bacillus sp. B-6 producing an acyl CoA synthetase inhibitor. This antibiotic is reported as an inhibitor of an acyl CoA synthetase from Pseudomonas sp.. Bacillus sp. B-6 was resistant to PCA up to 350 ${\mu}g/ml$. We investigated the mechanism of the resistance of Bacillus sp. B-6 to PCA. The rate of growth in a medium containing up to 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ was as rapid as the PCA-free medium. At a PCA concentration of 300 ${\mu}g/ml$, the growth rate was more than half that of the control. In this work, we purified acyl CoA synthetase from Bacillus sp. B-6 and found that this acyl CoA synthetase was much less sensitive to PCA than the acyl CoA synthetase from other source. These findings suggested that the insensitivity of Bacillus sp. B-6 acyl CoA synthetase plays an important role in the PCA resistance of this bacterium.

In this study, it was observed that hydrogen Productivity varied with stirrer speed, bead radius, input glucose concentration and dilution rate in a continuous stirred tank reactor in which immobilized R. rubrum KS-301 was used as a hydrogen-producing bacterium The mass transfer resistance due to cell immobilization was also studied. In order to estimate an effectiveness factor, Des of glucose was first obtained, which was subsequently represented by the correlation equation between Dos and Xb, As a result external mass transfer resistance could be neglected for stirrer speeds greater than 400rpn With bead radius increasing, the hydrogen productivity and internal effectiveness factor decreased. With input 91ucose concentration increasing, the hydrogen productivity and interval and external effectiveness factor increased. Although an Internal effectiveness factor was not affected, hydrogen productivity Increased with dilution rate increasing. An overall effectiveness factor remained nearly constant for the dilution rates investigate4 but increased with input 91ucose concentration increasing.

This paper deals with the problem of selecting optimal wear limit and initial process mean in a wear-out process. Consider a material removal processing machinery where 1)there are deffective items by linear shift in the mean of the diameter of to be processed with varing process variance and 2)there can be any failure in the machine tools or to be processed. In the previous studies, the one is analyzed by 'Model of Producing Goods' in quality control area and the other, any failure, is analyzed by 'Model of Producing Services' in reliability area. We propose a new integrated maintenance model, considering the percent defective and the failure rate. A numerical example for the model is given.
