We point out the limitations of Bloomberg Adjustment beta, shows that long-term beta does not converge with 1 and suggests an alternative to using proxy beta as beta's long-term forecast. We analyze whether the beta produced in the manner proposed by Bloomberg beta or proxy beta meets the purpose of calculating capital costs, for example, for the evaluation of corporate value. In particular, We apply in impairment valuations of assets and some analysis of how it affects. The proposal of the article applied in cases of analysis results are as follows : First, unlike the Bloomberg approach, long-term beta does not converge with market beta and therefore is not suitable as market forecast by beta. Second, estimating the suggested proxy beta as beta's predictive value resulted in Bloomberg beta and other adjustment Beta in the case categories, and the gap was large. Third, applying proxy beta results in a more appropriate valuation of the impairment loss on assets.

${\beta}-Cyclodextrin\;({\beta}-CD)$ polymers were prepared using epichlorohydrin as a cross linking agent. The polymers were separated into ${\beta}-CD$ soluble polymer $({\beta}-CD\;SP)$ and ${\beta}-CD$ insoluble polymer $({\beta}-CD\;ISP)$ on a 10,000 molecular weight cut-off membrane (YM 10). Optimum separation conditions in the YM 10 were: transmembrane pressure 51.7 kPa, separation temperature $35^{\circ}C$, and volume concentration ratio 10. The flux was $0.025\;mL/cm^{2}/min$ under the optimum conditions. Gel permeation chromatography indicated that ${\beta}-CD\;SP\;and\;{\beta}-CD\;ISP$ had a degree of polymerization of $2{\sim}8$ and over 10, respectively. The formation of an inclusion complex with hydrophobic compounds such as 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene, methyl red, and naringin was compared among ${\beta}-CD,\;{\beta}-CD\;SP\;and\;{\beta}-CD\;ISP$. The molar absorptivity for the two chromatic compounds was increased and the absorption peak was shifted in the presence of ${\beta}-CD$ polymers. Naringin, the principal flavonoid bitter tasting component of citrus fruit, had a low water solubility. The solubility of naringin was increased through the formation of an inclusion complex with ${\beta}-CD$ polymers. There was no significant difference in the formation of an inclusion complex between ${\beta}-CD\;SP\;and\;{\beta}-CD\;ISP$. Reduction of the bitter components from citrus products was shown to be possible when employing ${\beta}-CD\;SP$, while the usage of ${\beta}-CD$ monomer has been limited due to the low water solubility.

Supercritical fluid extraction of ${\beta}$-carotene from carrot was optimized to maximize ${\beta}$-carotene (Y) extraction yield. A central composite design involving extraction pressure ($X_1$ 200-,100 bar), temperature ($X_2,\;35-51^{\circ}C$) and time ($X_1$$ 60-200min) was used. Three independent factors ($X_1,\;X_2,\;X_3$) were chosen to determine their effects on the various responses and the function was expressed in terms of a quadratic polynomial equation,$Y={\beta}_0+{\beta}_1X_1+{\beta}_2X_2+{\beta}_3X_3+{\beta}_11X_12+{\beta}_22X_3^2+{\beta}_-12X_1X_2+{\beta}_12X_1X_2+{\beta}_13X_1X_3+{\beta}_23X_2X_3,$ which measures the linear, quadratic and interaction effects. Extraction yields of ${\beta}$-carotene were affected by pressure, time and temperature in the decreasing order, and linear effect of tenter point (${\beta}_11$) and pressure (${\beta}_1$) were significant at a level of 0.001(${\alpha}$). Based on the analysis of variance, the model fitted for ${\beta}_11$-carotene (Y) was significant at 5% confidence level and the coefficient of determination was 0.938. According to the response surface of ${\beta}$-carotene by cannoical analysis, the stationary point for quantitatively dependent variable (Y) was found to be the maximum point for extraction yield. Response area for ${\beta}$-carotene (Y) in terms of interesting region was estimated over $10,611{\mu}g$ Per 100 g raw carrot under extraction.

Regulation of ${\beta}-xylosidase$ synthesis in Paenibacillus sp. DC-22 was studied to optimize the enzyme production. ${\beta}-Xylosidase$ synthesis of the Paenibacillus sp. DG-22 was observed to be regulated by carbon sources present in culture media. The synthesis of ${\beta}-xylosidase$ was induced by xylan and methyl ${\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (${\beta}MeXyl$) but slightly repressed by readily metabolizable monosaccharides. ${\beta}MeXyl$ was found to be the best substrate for the induction of ${\beta}$-xylosidase and the most effective induction was obtained at a concentration of 10 mg/ml. ${\beta}-Xylosidase$ production showed a cell growth associated profile with the maximum amount formed during the late exponential phase of growth. The presence of glucose and xylose decreased the level of ${\beta}-xylosidase$ activity indicating that its production was subjected to a form of carbon catabolite repression. SDS-PAGE and zymogram techniques demonstrated the induction by ${\beta}MeXyl$ and revealed the presence of one ${\beta}-xylosidase$ of approximately 80 kDa.

${\beta}-Adrenoceptor$ binding study of ${\beta}-agonist$ ((-)NE), ${\beta}-antagonists$ $(({\pm})\;propranolol,\;labetalol)$ and PDE inhibitors (imazodan, KR-30045, KR-30075 etc.) was performed using $(-)-[^3H]-DHA$, as a $non-{\beta}_1/{\beta}_2$ selective radioligand. In saturation studies, $K_d$ and $B_{max}$ of $(-)-[^3H]-DHA$ to ${\beta}-adrenoceptors$ in rat left ventricle in which both ${\beta}_1$ and ${\beta}_2$ receptors coexist were determined to be $1.5{\pm}0.43\;nM$ and $22.0{\pm}0.9\;fmol/mg$ protein, respectively. $({\pm})Propranolol$, labetalol and (-)NE competed for $(-)-[^3H]-DHA$ binding sites in an essentialy monophasic manner with $Ki=17.0{\pm}0.40\;nM,\;57.3{\pm}1.30\;nM,\;and\;1.57{\pm}0.95\;{\mu}M$, respectively. All of PDE inhibitors inhibited the $(-)-[^3H]-DHA$ binding by only below 10% even at the high concentration of $10^{-3}M$. The present results suggest that propranolol, labetalol and NE are $non-{\beta}_1/{\beta}_2$ selective antagonists and agonist, respectively. Additionally, this study shows that imazodan and new synthesized PDE inhibitors may hardly have the affinities to ${\beta}-adrenoceptors$ in cardiac muscle.

WB were screening the stele and the cortex of the ginseng roots (Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer) on the exo-0-glycosylhydrolase activities during vegetation period of 1999 year. The following p-nitrophenylglycosides were used to test exe-0-glycosylhydrolase activities: $\alpha$- and $\beta$-D-galactopyranosides,$\alpha$- and $\beta$-D-glucopyranosides, $\alpha$- and $\beta$-D-mannopyranosides, N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucosaminide, $\alpha$- and $\beta$-D-xylopyranosides $\alpha$- L-rhamnopyranoside, $\beta$-D-glucuronide, $\beta$-D-galacturonide, $\beta$-L-,$\alpha$-L- and $\beta$-D-fucopyranosides, $\alpha$-L-arabinopyranoside. Only $\beta$-D-galactosidase, $\alpha$-L-mannosi-dase , N- acetyl- ${\beta}$-D-slucosarninidase, $\alpha$-D-galacto sidase, $\alpha$-L-arabinosidase, and $\beta$-D-fuco sidase were found in both partsof ginseng roots. Their contents during the vegetation period were shown to differ considerably, being dependent not only on plant development stage but on plant tissue and environmental conditions too.

If ${\beta}\;>\;1$, then every non-negative number x has a ${\beta}-expansion$, i.e., $$x\;=\;{\epsilon}_0(x)\;+\;{\frac{\epsilon_1(x)}{\beta}}\;+\;{\frac{\epsilon_2(x)}{\beta}}\;+\;{\cdots}$$ where ${\epsilon}_0(x)\;=\;[x],\;{\epsilon}_1(x)\;=\;[\beta(x)],\;{\epsilon}_2(x)\;=\;[\beta(({\beta}x))]$, and so on ([x] denotes the integral part and (x) the fractional part of the real number x). Let T be a transformation on [0,1) defined by $x\;{\rightarrow}\;({\beta}x)$. It is well known that the relative frequency of $k\;{\in}\;\{0,\;1,\;{\cdots},\;[\beta]\}$ in ${\beta}-expansion$ of x is described by the T-invariant absolutely continuous measure ${\mu}_{\beta}$. In this paper, we show the mod M normality of the sequence $\{{\in}_n(x)\}$.
