  • To investigate the gene rearrangement via short repeated sequences in chloroplast DNA, the pattern of heterologous gene clusters containing the 151 bp repeated sequence with the development of plastid was compared in rice and the homologous gene clusters from various plant sources were searched for comparative analysis. Southern blot analysis of rice DNA using rp12 gene containing 151 bp repeated sequence as a probe showed the presence of heterologous gene clusters. Such heterologous gene clusters varied with the development of plastid. Also it was observed that the heterologous gene clusters were observed in all of the rice cultivars used in this work. Finally the comparative analysis of DNA sequence of the homologous gene clusters from various plants showed the evolutionary gene rearragngement via short repeated sequence among plants. These results suggest the possible relationship between the plastid development and gene rearrangement through short repeated sequences.

  • A tandemly repeated DNA sequence was identified and characterized y the combined RAPD and FISH data from a total genomic DNA of Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum). A clone containing this repeating sequence was selected and sequenced. This repeating unit of 314 bp inserted into pAf 072 contained 54.1% adenine and thymine residues, and showed the primer sequence used, 5'-GAAACGGGTG-3', in both terminals of the sequence. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using this tandemly repeated sequence as a probe indicated that the detected sites were coincident with the major C-banded constitutive heterochromatin in the terminal regions of both arms of all 6 chromosomes.

  • Malware variations could be defined as malicious executable files that have similar functions but different structures. In order to classify the variations, this paper analyzed sequence alignment, the method used in Bioinformatics. This method found common parts of the Malwares' API call information. This method's performance is dependent on the API call information's length; if the length is too long, the performance should be very poor. Therefore we removed the repeated patterns in API call information in order to improve the performance of sequence alignment analysis, before the method was applied. Finally the similarity between malware was analyzed using sequence alignment. The experimental results with the real malware samples were presented.

  • 도열병균, Magnaporthe grisea, 균주간의 유전적 유연관계를 분석하고 그들의 유전에 관한 '기본 정보를 얻고자 DNA polymorphism 분석을 실시하였다. 기주가 다른 도열병 균주들이 공시되었고 cloning에 의해 벼 도열병균 KJ201레이스 균주로부터 생성된 임의 선발 genomic clone들이 공시균주들간의 polymorphism을 밝히기 위해 사용되었던 바 그중 repectitive sequence를 보유한 repeated copy clone 하나가 선발되었다. Clone pMJ6에 의해 밝혀진 repetitive sequence는 Southern hybridization시 벼 분리균주에는 약 30개, 다른 기주 분리균에도 20∼33개의 밴드를 형성하였다. 반면 피 분리균주에는 단지 두 개의 밴드만을 나타내 분리기주가 다른 균주간에 뚜렷한 polymorphism이 존재하였으며 parsimony 분석에서도 역시 아주 먼 cluster를 형성하여 피 분리균은 다른 기주 분리균과 유전적으로 상당히 먼 것으로 추정되었다. 공시균의 genomic DNA를 HindIII로 처리했을 때 pMJ6에 의한 밴드양상은 공시균을 EcoRI으로 처리했을 때의 MGR probe의 밴드 양상과 유사하여 이 repeated copy clone이 도열병균주간의 유전적 유연관계를 분석하는데 MGR 못지않게 유용할 것으로 보인다.

  • DNA computing based DNA sequence Is operated through the biology experiment. Biology experiment used as operator causes illegal reactions through shifted hybridization, mismatched hybridization, undesired hybridization of the DNA sequence. So, it is essential to design DNA sequence to minimize the potential errors. This paper proposes method of the DNA sequence generation based evolutionary operation processor. Genetic algorithm was used for evolutionary operation and extra hardware, namely genetic algorithm processor was implemented for solving repeated evolutionary process that causes much computation time. To show efficiency of the Proposed processor, excellent result is confirmed by comparing between fitness of the DNA sequence formed randomly and DNA sequence formed by genetic algorithm processor. Proposed genetic algorithm processor can reduce the time and expense for preparing DNA sequence that is essential in DNA computing. Also it can apply design of the oligomer for development of the DNA chip or oligo chip.

  • The C-terminus ends of the second putative transmembrane domains of both $M_1$ and $M_2$ muscarinic receptors contain a triplet of amino acid residues consisting of leucine (L), tyrosine (Y) and threonine (T). This triplet is repeated as LYT-TYL in $M_1$ receptors at the interface between the second transmembrane domain and the first extracellular loop. Interestingly, however, it is repeated in a transposedfashion (LYT-LYT) in the sequence of $M_2$ receptors. In our previous work, we investigated the possible significance of this unique sequence diversity for determining the distinct differential receptor function at the two receptor subtypes. However, we found mutation of the LYTTYL sequence of $M_1$ receptors to the corresponding $M_2$ receptor LYTLYT sequence demonstrated markedly enhanced the stimulation of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis by carbachol without a change in its coupling to increased cyclic AMP formation. In this work, thus, the enhanced stimulation of PI hydrolysis in the LYTLYT $M_1$ receptor mutant was further investigated. The stimulation of PI hydrolysis by carbachol was enhanced in the mutant $M_1$ receptor, and this change was not due to alterations in the rate of receptor desensitization or sequestration. The observed larger response to carbachol at mutant $M_1$ receptors was also not due to an artifact resulting from selection of CHO cells which express higher levels of G-proteins or phospholipase C. Our data suggest that although the LYTTYL sequence in $M_1$ muscarinic receptors is not involved in determining receptor pharmacology, mutation of the sequence enhanced the coupling of $M_1$ receptors to the stimulation of phospholipase C.

  • In this paper, we propose a 3-D finite element (FE) analysis model with combined physical behavior and kinematical impact factors for evaluation of residual stress in multi-impact shot peening. The FE model considers both physical behavior of material and characteristics of kinematical impact. The physical parameters include elastic-plastic FE modeling of shot ball, material damping coefficient, dynamic friction coefficient. The kinematical parameters include impact velocity and diameter of shot ball. Multi-impact FE model consists of 3-D symmetry-cell. We can describe a certain repeated area of peened specimen under equibiaxial residual stress by the cell. With the cell model, we investigate the FE peening coverage, dependency on the impact sequence, effect of repeated cycle. The proposed FE model provides converged and unique solution of surface stress, maximum compressive residual stress and deformation depth at four impact positions. Further, in contrast to the rigid and elastic shots, plastically deformable shot produces residual stresses closer to experimental solutions by X-ray diffraction. Consequently, it is confirmed that the FE model with peening factors and plastic shot is valid for multi-shot peening analyses.

  • In this study, a systematic investigation is carried out on the seismic behaviour of plane moment resisting steel frames (MRF) to repeated strong ground motions. Such a sequence of earthquakes results in a significant damage accumulation in a structure because any rehabilitation action between any two successive seismic motions cannot be practically materialised due to lack of time. In this work, thirty-six MRF which have been designed for seismic and vertical loads according to European codes are first subjected to five real seismic sequences which are recorded at the same station, in the same direction and in a short period of time, up to three days. Furthermore, the examined frames are also subjected to sixty artificial seismic sequences. This investigation shows that the sequences of ground motions have a significant effect on the response and, hence, on the design of MRF. Additionally, it is concluded that ductility demands, behaviour factor and seismic damage of the repeated ground motions can be satisfactorily estimated using appropriate combinations of the corresponding demands of single ground motions.

  • The C-terminus ends of the second putative transmembrane domains of both m1 and m2 muscarinic receptors contain a triplet of amino acid residues consisting of leucine (L), tyrosine (Y) and threonine (T), This triplet is repeated as LYT-LYT in m2 receptors at the interface between the second transmembrane domain and the first extracellular loop. Interestingly, however, it is repeated in a transposed fashion (LYT-TYL) in the sequence of m1 receptors. In this work we employed site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the possible significance of this unique sequence diversity for determining the distinct differential drug-receptor interaction and cellular function at m1 muscarinic receptor. Mutation of the LYTTYL sequence of m1 receptors to the corresponding m2 receptor LYTLYT sequence, however, did not result in a significant change in the binding affinity of the agonist carbachol or in the affinity of the majority of a series of receptor antagonists which are able to discriminate between wild-type m1 and m2 receptors. Surprisingly, the LYTLYT ml receptor mutant demonstrated markedly enhanced coupling to activation of phospholipase C without a change in its coupling to increased cyclic AMP formation. There was also an enhanced receptor sensitivity in transducing elevation of intracellular Ca$\^$2+/. These changes were not due to alterations in the rate of receptor. desensitization or sequestration, On the other hand, the reverse LYTLYT-LYTTYL mutation in the m2 receptor did not alter its coupling to inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but slightly enhanced its coupling to stimulation of PI hydrolysis, Our data suggest that the LYTTYL/LYTLYT sequence difference between ml and n12 muscarinic receptors is not involved in determining receptor pharmacology. On the other hand, while these differences might play a role in the modulation of muscarinic receptor coupling to PI hydrolysis, they are not important for specifying coupling of various subtypes of muscarinic receptors to different cellular signaling pathways.

  • A bag is a set-like entity which can contain repeated elements. Fuzzy bags have been studied by Yager, who defined their basic relations and operations. However, his definitions of the basic relations and operations are inconsistent with the corresponding relations and operations for ordinary fuzzy sets. The present paper presents new basic relations and operations of fuzzy bags using a grade sequence for each element of the universal set. Moreover the .alpha.-cut, t-norms, the extension principle, and the composition of fuzzy bag relations are described.
