$^{13}C$ NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) measurements have been performed to investigate the local electronic structure of a superconducting graphite intercalation compound $CaC_6$ ($T_c$ = 11.4 K). A large number of single crystals were stacked and sealed in a quartz tube for naturally abundant $^{13}C$ NMR. The spectrum, Knight shift, linewidth, and spin-lattice relaxation time $T_1$ were measured in the normal state as a function of temperature down to 80 K at 8.0 T perpendicular to the c-axis. The $^{13}C$ NMR spectrum shows a single narrow peak with a very small Knight shift. The Knight shift and the linewidth of the $^{13}C$ NMR are temperature-independent around, respectively, +0.012% and 1.2 kHz. The spin-lattice relaxation rate, $1/T_1$, is proportional to temperature confirming a Korringa behavior as for non-magnetic metals. The Korringa product is measured to be $T_1T\;=\;210\;s{\cdot}K$. From this value, the Korringa ratio is deduced to be $\xi$ = 0.73, close to unity, which suggests that the independent-electron description works well for $CaC_6$, without complications arising from correlation and many-body effects.

The structure of a single crystal, grown by a slow cooling a melt of $Ca_{1.29}Bi_{0.14}VO_4$ composition, was analyzed. The crystals belong to the rhombohedral space group R3c and the dimensions of the unit cells are a = 10.848(1)${\AA}$, c = 38.048(6)${\AA}$, V = 3877.6(8)${\AA}^3$ for the pale yellow crystal, and a = 10.857(1), c = 38.063(6)${\AA}$, V = 3885.6(8)${\AA}^3$ for the yellow crystal, respectively. Unit cell dimensions of the crystal were larger than those of the host crystal, $Ca_3(VO_4)_2$, owing to the Bi that replaced Ca in the unit cell. Ca in the unit cell formed six, eight and nine coordinated polyhedra with O atoms and Bi replacing Ca entered the eight or nine coordinated Ca sites with different crystallographic environments in the unit cell. All the V in the unit cell formed four coordinated tetrahedra with O atoms, however V-O bond lengths in the tetrahedra were different from one another.

To clarify the effect of extracellular ATP in cultured C6 glioma cells, ATP-induced cytosolic free calcium ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) mobilization and cell proliferation were investigated. ATP-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increased in a dose-dependent manner $(10^{-7}\;M{\sim}10^{-3}\;M)$. ATP-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increases were slightly slowed in extracellular calcium-free conditions especially in sustained phase. ATP-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increment was also inhibited by the pretreatment of U73122, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, in a time-dependent manner. Suramin, a putative $P_{2Y}$ receptor antagonist, dose-dependently weakened ATP-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ mobilization. Significant increases in cell proliferation were observed at 2, 3, and 4 days after ATP was added. Stimulated cell proliferation was also observed with adenosine at days 2 and 3. This cell proliferation was significantly inhibited by the treatment with suramin. Ionomycin also stimulated cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. In conclusion, we suggest that extracellular ATP stimulates C6 glioma cell proliferation via intracellular free calcium mobilization mediated by purinoceptor.

The foliar injuries and absorption rates of calcium compounds in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. momotaro) and citrus [Shiranuhi(C. Marc. ${\time}C$. sinensis Osbeck)${\time}C$. reticulata Blanco)] were investigated. 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0% of $CaCl_2$, $Ca(NO_3)_2$, $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$, Ca-EDTA, Ca formate or Ca acetate solution were applied to the leaves of tomato and citrus. The leaf burns were observed only in the foliar applications of Ca-EDTA and $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$. Ca-EDTA exhibited more serious foliar injury than CaH2PO4. As applied with $^{45}CaCl_2$, $^{45}Ca(NO_3)_2$, $^{45}Ca$ formate or $^{45}Ca$ acetate, the rates of Ca absorptions by tomato and citrus leaves for 7 days were 17 to 32% and 6.6 to 46%, respectively. It meant that the absorption was differently influenced on calcium compounds. In tomato, the order of Ca foliar absorption was $Ca(NO_3)_2$ > Ca formate = $CaCl_2$ > Ca acetate. Although there was no difference in Ca absorption between the adaxial and abaxial parts of tomato leaves, total absorption was greater in expanded leaves than in expanding ones. On the other hand, in citrus Ca foliar absorption from $Ca(NO_3)_2$ or Ca formate was more active than that from $CaCl_2$ or Ca acetate. In conclusion, $Ca(NO_3)_2$ and Ca formate are recommended for the foliar application of Ca in tomato and citrus in order to increase absorption of Ca into their leaves.

분리대두단백(SPI)을 주원료로 마쇄와 여과, 압착 과정을 생략한 두부의 연속적 제조 방법을 위한 기초자료로서 분리대두단백의 보수력과 보유력, 가열시간, 단일응고제 소요량, 혼합응고제에 따른 두부의 텍스쳐 및 수율변화 그리고 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. SPI 분산액의 $100^{\circ}C$에서 가열시간이 길어짐에 따라 $CaCl_{2}$와 GDL응고제 양은 감소하다가 증가하였고, $MgCl_2$는 감소하는 경향이었으며, $CaSO_{4}$는 대조구를 제외하고 큰 차이가 없었다. 응고에 필요한 응고제의 양은 $CaSO_{4}>GDL>MgCl_{2}>CaCl_{2}>$순이었다. 압착두부 제조방법에 의한 두부의 수율은 $CaSO_{4}$로 응고한 두부로 가열시간 6분일 때 가장 높았으며, GDL로 응고한 두부의 수율은 다른 응고제에 비하여 낮았으나 6분에서 약간 높은 수율을 보였고, 이외의 응고제에 의한 두부수율은 가열시간에 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. SPI의 보수력은 $100^{\circ}C$에서 가열시간이 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하였고, 보유력은 9분까지 증가하다가 감소하였다. 또 혼합응고제$(CaSO_{4}-GDL,\;CaSO_{4}-CaCl_{2},\;CaCl_{2}-GDL)$로 응고한 압착두부의 물리적 특성은 $CaCl_{2}$와 GDL 비율이 많아짐에 따라 경두부의 특성을 나타내었다. 최고의 수율은 $CaSO_{4}$ 100% 응고두부였으며, 최소의 수율은 GDL로 응고한 두부였다. 관능검사 결과 $CaSO_{4}$ 비율이 증가함에 따라 부드럽고, 균일한 조직을 얻었으며, GDL과 $CaCl_{2}$의 비율이 많은 혼합응고제로 제조한 두부는 신맛과 쓴맛의 강도가 컸다.

Calcium (Ca) is an essential element to maintain body homeostasis. However, many factors disturb calcium absorption. Aspartic acid chelated calcium (AAC) was synthesized by new methods using calcium carbonate and aspartic acid. This study was carried out to investigate the bioavailability of AAC in Ca-deficient rats. The experimental groups were as follows: NC; normal diet control group, CD-C; untreated control group of Ca-deficient (CD) rats, CD-$CaCO_3$; $CaCO_3$ treated group of CD rats, CD-AAC; AAC treated group of CD rats, and CD-SWC; and seaweed-derived Ca treated group of CD rats. The Ca content of various types of Ca was held constant at 32 mg/day, and the four CD groups were fed for 7 days after randomized grouping. Ca content in serum, urine, and feces within feeding periods were analyzed to confirm Ca absorption. Serum Ca content was significantly higher in the CD-AAC (11.24 mg/dL) and CD-SWC (10.12 mg/dL) groups than that in the CD-C (8.6 mg/dL) group 2 hours following the first administration. The Ca content in feces was significantly lower in the CD-AAC (35.4 mg/3 days) and CD-SWC (71.1 mg/3 day) groups than that in the CD-$CaCO_3$ (98.7 mg/3 days) group (p > 0.05). AAC had a 2.3-fold higher absorption rate of Ca than that of SWC. No differences in fibula length were observed in the NC and CD groups. The fibula weights of the CD-AAC (0.33 g) and CD-SWC (0.33 g) groups increased compared to those in the CD-C (0.27 g) group; however, no significant difference was observed between the CD groups. We conclude that bioavailability of AAC is higher than that of seaweed-derived Ca or inorganic Ca. Thus, these findings suggest the AAC has potential as a functional food material related to Ca metabolism.

Bud6p is a component of a polarisome that controls cell polarity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we investigated the role of the Candide albicans Bud6 protein (CaBud6p) in cell polarity and hyphal development. CaBud6p, which consists of 703 amino acids, had 37% amino-acid sequence identity with the Bud6 protein of S. cerevisiae. The homozygous knock-out of CaBUD6 resulted in several abnormal phenotypes, such as a round and enlarged cells, widened bud necks, and a random budding pattern. In hypha-inducing media, the mutant cells had markedly swollen tips and a reduced ability to switch from yeast to hypha. In addition, a yeast two-Hybrid analysis showed a physical interaction between CaBud6p and CaAct1p, which suggests that CaBud6p may be involved in actin cable organization, like Bud6p in S. cerevisiae. Taken together, these results indicate that CaBud6 plays an important role in the polarized growth of C. albicans.

본 연구는 '후지' 과실을 대상으로 저온저장(온도: $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)을 1개월 처리한 후 CA 저장(CA 저장 조건: $O_2$ $2.5{\pm}0.5$%, $CO_2$ $1.5{\pm}0.5$%, 온도: $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) 4개월 + 저온저장 3개월(CA 4M + Air 3M), CA 저장 5개월 + 저온저장 2개월(CA 5M + Air 2M), CA 저장 6개월 + 저온저장 1개월(CA 6M + Air 1M)로 처리하였고, CA 저장은 수확 후 즉시 처리한 다음 저장기간에 따라 과실 내부갈변증상과 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 과실의 내부갈변 증상은 일반 CA 저장에서는 저장 4개월 후에 17.1%로 시작하여 저장 7개월 후에는 30.2%로 매우 높은 발생을 보였다. 그러나 CA 4M + Air 3M 처리구와 CA 5M + Air 2M 처리구는 과실 내부갈변증상이 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 각 처리별 호흡량의 변화는 저장 6개월까지는 차이가 없었고, 저장 7개월 후에는 CA 4M + Air 3M 처리구와 CA 5M + Air 2M 처리구가 낮은 호흡량을 보였다. 에틸렌 및 내생 에틸렌 발생량은 일반 CA 저장에서는 가장 낮았고, CA 환경해제기간이 빠를수록 다소 높은 발생량을 보였다. 과실품질에서 처리별 경도와 산 함량의 변화를 보면 일반 CA 저장에 비하여 CA 저장 4, 5, 6개월 후 저온저장처리간에는 차이가 없었다. 따라서 과실의 저장력 향상을 위하여 지속적인 CA 저장을 하기보다는 CA 저장 5개월 후에 환경설정을 해제하고 저온저장을 유지하여도 과실품질을 유지할 수 있었다.

In this work, effects of limestone powder on hydration of $C_3A-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system was discussed based on the XRD Quantitative analysis, and the possibility of Delayed Ettringite Formation was also discussed. The early hydration of $C_3A$ was delayed by addition of $CaCO_3$ powder. The delay effect was enhanced by increasing of $CaCO_3$ content and finer powder of $CaCO_3$ addition. After consumption of $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$, the reaction of $CaCO_3$ is started. Delayed Ettringite Formation would take place because monosulfoaluminate is not stable in presence of $CaCO_3$. In order to prevent the delayed ettringite formation in $C_3A-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O-CaCO_3$ system, the reduction of monosulfoaluminate formation is important. Therefore, by increasing the amount of $CaCO_3$ addition and finer $CaCO_3$ powder addition, the delayed ettringite formation can be prevented.
