Trichoderma harzianum-THN1 parasitising the egg masses of root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita was isolated from galled mulberry roots and evaluated for its potential to control root knot disease. In pot experiments root galling was reduced and leaf yield increased significantly following soil treatment with T. harzianum-THN1. The extracts obtained from the soils inoculated with T. harzianum-THN1 drastically inhibited the hatching of nematode eggs and the effect was irreversible even after the eggs were transferred to fresh water. The fungus was equally effective in controlling the disease in nematode infested mulberry garden under field conditions which was significant over the most commonly used egg parasitic fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus. The disease reduction recorded with T. harzianum was on par with the plants treated with the nematicide Carbofuran. The results suggest that T. harzianum- THN1 could be used as a potent ecofriendly biocontrol agent against M. incognita in mulberry without any residual toxicity to silkworms. T. harzianum- THN1 can form an important component of integrated disease management package in mulberry cultivation.

Nanocrystalline ceria powders were prepared by hydrothermal treatment of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate solution without a precipitating agent. A systematic investigation of the effect of hydrothermal temperature and react ion time on the physical properties of the product powders was carried out. When the hydrothermal temperature was increased, the product ceria powders exhibited larger crystallite size with higher yield. Increasing reaction time produced more crystalline ceria powders attributed to further hydrothermal reactions and structural rearrangement. The physical properties of ceria powders can be control led by adjusting the hydrothermal conditions.

Alternan known as a kind of dextran is a linear and cyclic polysaccharide which is synthesized with sucrose by alternaansucrase (EC2.4.1.140) of Leuconostoc mesenteroides. But this polysaccharide is different from dextran in its structure and other properties. For the purpose of applying alternan for the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, we isolated an excellent alternan-porducing strain, Leu. mesenteroides CBI-110. The optimum culture conditions were studied to improve the yield, and the activity of alternansucrase was increased up to 33U/ml in the optimum culture media. The concentrations of $Mn^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions were 0.01% and 0.03%, respectively, for the effective production of alternan. Finally, we obtained 25.6g/L of alternan.

In this study, transonic flutter response characteristics have been studied for the AGARD 445.6 wing considering various turbulent models and several angle of attacks. The developed fluid-structure coupled analysis system is applied for flutter computations combining computational structural dynamics(CSD), finite element method(FEM) and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) in the time domain. The flutter boundaries of AGARD 445.6 wing are verified using developed computational system. For the nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics in high transonic flow region, DES turbulent model using the structured grid system have been applied for the wing model. Characteristics of flutter responses have been investigated for various angle of attack conditions. Also, it is typically shown that the current computation approach can yield realistic and practical results for aircraft design and test engineers.

The hepatfluoropropane(HFC-227ea) synthesis by fluorinatino of hepafluoroproylene(HFP) over activated carbon has been studied. The reaction temperature was varied from 5$0^{\circ}C$ to 40$0^{\circ}C$ at a constant feed mole ration and a residence time. The optimized reaction temperature was found to be about 20$0^{\circ}C$ at 2.5HF/HFP mole ratio and 238 sec. residence time. From these reaction conditions, the yield of HFC-227ea was obtained above 99% and the deactivation of activated carbon was not appeared. Accordingly, the activated carbon showed good performance to obtain heptafluoropropane by fluorinatin of hexafluoropropylene.

전통 한약재의 일환인 황기, 당귀로부터 추출물의 획득은 일반적으로 열수추출법에 의하여 행해져 왔으나 추출물의 획득수율이 낮고 추출, 농축과정에서의 심란 열처리로 인하여 고유의 향이 소실되는 등 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 주정추출법을 시도하여 황기, 당귀 추출물의 획득수율을 열수추출법의 50, 39%(w/w) 대비 각각 15. 36% 증가한 65. 75%로 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 강한 고유의 향을 포집하고 있는 전혀 새로운 타입의 추출물을 얻을 수 있었다. 추출과정on서 열수추출법과의 차이는 추출용매를 물에서 주정으로 변경한 것과 1차 추출 후 얻어진 박을 이용하여 2차 추출을 행하였으며, 농축온도를 열수추출의 104$^{\circ}C$에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 실시하였다. 이와 같이 처리온도와 거의 무관하게 주정은 고유의 향을 포집하는 뛰어난 효과를 나타내었다. 이 추출물을 물엿, 음료 등의 제품에 적용할 경우 별도의 인공향료 처리 없이 천연물 그대로의 가공으로도 충분한 고유의 향미를 부여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Composition of isoflavone in cotyledon and hypocotyl of soybean were detected using HPLC. Optimum conditions for extracting isoflavone from hypocotyl were studied as well. Contents of isoflavone in soybean cotyledon and hypocotyl were 482.5 mg 100 $g^{-1}$ and 3453.3 mg 100 100 $g^{-1}$, respectively. Hypocotyl contained 7~8 times move isoflavone than corresponding cotyledon of the soybean. Malonyl glycoside accounted for move than 70% of the total isoflavone, followed by glycoside, acetyl glycoside, and aglycone. Aqueous ethanol of 60~80% was the most suitable solvent for extracting isoflavone from the hypocotyl. Optimum temperature and time was $90^{\circ}C$, 1hr. Acetic acid, NaCl, and NaOH added to 80% ethanol suppressed extraction yield of the phytochemieal.

In recent years, some modifications were introduced in the stress-strain relationship of the steel in order to develop a more efficient shear model for reinforced concrete members. The last contribution in this sense corresponding to the Refined Compression Field Theory (RCFT, 2009); this theory proposed a steel constitutive model that has account the tension stiffening area prescribed by technical codes, what simplifies all the design process. However, under certain design conditions supported by such codes, the RCFT model does not provide a real (non-complex) solution for the steel yield strain when the prescribed tension stiffening area is considered; then the load-strain response cannot be computed. In this technical note, the tension stiffening area is fixed in order to guarantee the application of the embedded steel constitutive model for all the standard design range.

A mammalian DNA repair enzyme, UV endonuclease III which also functions as a ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3), was purified from mouse cells and characterized. UV endonuclease III was previously cloned and known to yield a peptide of 32 kDa upon expression in E. coli [Kim et al., (1995) J. Bioi. Chem. 270, 13620-13629]. However, biochemically purified UV endonuclease III, which has a sedimentation coefficient of 3.25, appears to have an additional peptide of 28 kDa. It appears that two bands were derived from one complex, judging from the comparison of the nuclease activity on the native and SDS-gel electrophoreses. UV endonuclease III becomes non-specific upon purification and this phenomenon is more significant in the case of pure fractions of the enzyme. Non-specific activity was not influenced by pH or any salt conditions.

A numerical analysis of thermal stress over temperature variations near the crystal-melt interface is carried out for a floating-zone growth of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe). Thermocapillary convection determines crystal-melt interfacial shape and signature of temperature in the crystal. Large temperature gradients near the crystal-melt interface yield excessive thermal stresses in a crystal, which affect the dislocations of the crystal. Based on the assumption that the crystal is elastic and isotropic, thermal stresses in a crystal are computed and the effects of operating conditions are investigated. The results show that the extreme thermal stresses are concentrated near the interface of a crystal and the radial and the tangential stresses are the dominant ones. Concentrated heating profile increases the stresses within the crystal, otherwise, the pulling rate decreases the stresses.
