The effect of copper ion on the lactate dehydrogenase isozyme patterns in the heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, and ovary of catfish, Parasilurus asotus, was studied by cellulose acetate gel electrophoresis. 1. The LDH-1 and LDH-2 of heart type appeared in the heart muscle of control fish. When the fish were exposed to copper ion, however, the LDH-1, LDH-2, LDH-3, and LDH-4 appeared. The amount of LDH-1 was decreased and those of LDH-2, LDH-3, and LDH-4 were increased. 2. There was one band of LDH-4 in the liver of normal fish. But the amount of LDH-4 was decreased and additional new LDH-5 appeared by exposure to copper ion. 3. There were LDH-1, LDH-2, and LDH-4 in the kidney tissue of both control and experimental groups. The LDH-1 was increased, whereas LDH-2 and LDH-4 were decreased after exposure to copper ion. 4. There was broad band of LDH-5 in the skeletal muscle of the control fish. However, the LDH-4 and LDH-5 with M sub-band appeared by the exposure to copper ion. 5. There was LDH-3 band only in the ovary of control, wheras all five LDH isozymes appeared in the ovary of the fish exposed to copper iion. 6. During the period of exposure to copper ion, the LDH isozyme of heart type which associated with aerobic metabolism was decreased, but the LDH isozyme of muscle type of anaerobic metabolism was increased in most of heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. It seems that these organs are related to some of important functions for anaerobic metabolism during the copper poisoning period.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed to determine (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin contents in grape seed ethanol extract. CE separation was achieved using 100 mM phosphate and borate buffer at pH 6.0 as background electrolyte and fused silica capillary with 50 microns x 375 microns O.D. (effective length 20.0cm) maintained at $25^{\circ}C$. The applied voltage was 10kV, and detection was performed by DAD at 210 nm, Two catechins were well separated within 6 min with repeatability of <0.8% RSD for migration time and <2.0% RSD for peak area, and correlation coefficients higher than 0.994 were obtained from 58.0 to 174.0 mg/L with detection limit of 0.035 mg/L. Separated compounds were successfully determined. CE method was easy to handle and showed good reproducibility. CE method was compared with conventional coloring and HPLC methods, and main advantages of CE method were low amount of sample required, simple pre-sample treatment, good recovery rate, and short analysis time.

Although the seafood cooking drips were the byproducts from the fishery industry and being wasted, it had many nutrients including proteins. In this study, the effect of a gamma irradiation on the cooking drips from Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleni and Thunnus thynnus were investigated. The cooking drips were extracted with 70% ethanol solution, and the extracts were analysed for the protein concentration by three different methods of Lowry, BCA and Kjeldahl. The extracts were irradiated with different doses and the protein contents were compared with respect to the absorbed doses. Total content of the proteins was increased with increasing irradiation dose. The change of protein pattern in the irradiated cooking drips was also confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis. These results shown that the proteins in cooking drips could be unfolded or aggregated by the irradiation. Therefore, gamma irradiation could be considered as an effective method for extracting useful proteins.

In general, distribution board, panel board and motor control center can be installed over a wide area such as residence of group, building, schools, factories, ports, airports, water service and sewerage, substation and heavy industries that are used to supply converts the voltages extra high voltage into optimal voltage. There are electrical accidents due to rise of contact temperature, loose contact between busbar, deterioration of the contact resistance, over temperature of the busbars. In this paper, we designed and implemented the busbar joint and temperature measurement system, which can measure the joint resistance of busbar and loose connection between busbar using potentiometer and non-contact infrared sensor. The experimental results show that tightening the bolt and nut is fully engaged, resistance was decreased and maximum error range was 0.1mm. Also, the experimental result showed that the temperature at the contact area is increased from $27.3^{\circ}C$ to $69.3^{\circ}C$by the contact resistance.

Electrophoretic studies of protein extracts from carrot calluses suspension-cultured on the media containing kinetin, BA, IAA, NAA or $GA_3$ at the levels of $10^{-6},\;10^{-5},\;10^{-4}M$, respectively, were performed to identify polypeptides and proteins regulated by auxin, cytokinin or GA. Fifteen bands of polypeptide(s) were observed in the callus cultured in the control medium devoid of growth regulators, and their molecular weights were $18._4,\;20._2,\;20._0,\;34._9,\;35._7,\;37._4,\;40._3,\;42._2,\;44._1,\;44._4,\;49._3,\;55._0,\;56._6,\;58._1,\;and\;59._9\;KD$, respectively. The synthesis of polypeptide appeared to be promoted in two bands by kinetin, in six bands by BA, in one band by IAA, in two bands by NAA, and in four bands by $GA_3$, while inhibited in five bands by kinetin, in three bands by BA, in four bands by IAA, in three bands by NAA and in three bands by $GA_3$. The polypeptides of $40._3\;KD\;42._2\;KD$ seemed to be regulated by cytokinins, and those of $44._1\;KD,37._4\;KD,\;and\;56._6\;KD$ by auxins. The proteins of three bands with relative mobilities of 0.56, 0.84, and 0.92, respectively, increased in the calluses cultured on the media containing kinetin, IAA, $GA_3$, NAA or BA, compared to the control, but it was difficult to identify the proteins specific for each growth regulator.

${\beta}-Tyrosinase$ was purified and crystallized from cells of Escherichia intermedia A-21 grown in a medium supplemented with 0.2% L-tyrosine. Molecular weight of its subunit, Km value and absorption spectra were determined. Crystallization methods were also studied to eliminate any unnecessary procedures. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate fractionation, dialysis against potassium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0 and pH 7.0, and DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. In the column chromatography, 11 mg of protein was applied per ml of DEAE-Sephadex for efficiency. 2. Steps of protamine sulfate treatment and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration could be eliminated for this enzyme from the known procedures. 3. The purified enzyme was dissolved in 0.01M potassium phosphate buffer containing 2-mercaptoethanol, with a concentration of 20mg/ml. Crystalline enzyme, which appears as hexagonal rods, was obtained by adding solid fine powdered ammonium sulfate to the enzyme solution. 4. Absorption maxima of the enzyme appeared at 340 and 430nm when associated with pyridoxal phosphate. 5. Km value of the enzyme for L-tyrosine was $2.31{\times}10^{-4}M$ and the molecular weight of its subunit was determined by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis to be approximately 50,000.

A vehicle fuel economy is very important issue in the view of fuel cost and environmental regulation. The fuel economy is much improved according to the development of electric, electronic and mechanical technology, but up to now the measurement of it tests the given mode(LA-4, FTP-75, etc) within computer simulation program and engine dynamometer. This fuel economy is different with it of real road. The one of main reason is not considered the gradient of the road. To estimate the effects of fuel economy at highway with gradient in this paper, we measure the amount of fuel consumption and calculate the fuel economy of it with running the Youngdong highway with high gradient. Also this paper analysis and compares the fuel economy with gradient and without gradient when the vehicle runs the same driveway. Then we calculate the total energy created the difference of fuel consumption amount of the two cases and calculate the consumpted energy by tire driving force from the torque and power of engine in the simulation. This paper verifies the relation of the driving force and the total energy by creating the difference of fuel consumption amount. This paper also proposes the method of fuel economy improvement despite of gradient at the result.

It has been known that the silk degumming treated by hot alkali solution is easy to handle but is liable to yield poor-quality silk due to the degree of degumming loss, incomplete-degumming or over-degumming. Therefore, many studies have been carried out on the silk degumming by enzyme in order to improve the quality of silk. However, no attention has been paid to the physicochemical analysis of enzymatic degummed silk. In this paper, two different degumming methods, soap and enzymatic, are compared in aqueous solution state of silk fibroin. The results can be summarized as follows: There was no significant difference between two solutions on the bases of polarizing microscopy, TEM observation and SDS-PAGE. Spherulite of silk fibroin was not observed in polarizing microscopy, however the leaf-shape fibril structure was developed upon solidification. The size of spherulites of silk fibroin in TEM observation were 30~120nm with a wide range of size distribution. The intrinsic viscosity of enzymatic degummed fibroin solution was lower than that of soap degummed solution. This can be explained that the silk fibroin was more degraded by enzymatic degumming method compared with the soap degumming method. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the fibroin molecule was composed of large component of molecule weight above 50 kd and small component of molecule weight about 20 kd. There was no difference in crystallinity between two degumming methods on the bases of results of DSC thermograms and IR spectra.

The ratios of cattle and swine serum proteins taken from the slaughter house were studied by Paper Electrophoresis. 1. Of 79 cattle and 53 swine, 49 cattle and 32 swine were observed in this studying as normal animals, the rest which was over 60% of albumin, globulin values and 1/2 of A/G (albumin/globulin) ratio was observed separately as abnormalities, because physiological examination was not made before slaughter. The ratios of the normal serum proteins were A (albumin) 58.8, ${\alpha}$(alpha-globulin) 13.7, ${\beta}$(beta-globulin) 11.9, ${\gamma}$(gamma-globulin) 28.6, G(total globulin) 49.2, A/G 1.03 in cattle and A 48.4, ${\alpha}$ 18.0, ${\beta}$ 13.6, ${\gamma}$ 20.0, G 51,6, A/G 0.93 in swine, the result including abnormalities showed A 45.5, ${\alpha}$ 14.8, ${\beta}$ 12.5, ${\gamma}$ 26.7, G 54.5, A/G 0.83 in cattle and A 44.5, ${\alpha}$ 19.8, ${\beta}$ 13.7, ${\gamma}$ 21.8, G 55.3, A/G 0.80 in Swine. 2. The A/G ratio of cattle and swine were 1.03 and 0.93 respectively, the A/G ratio of Korean cattle and swine are higher than the ration reported of others. Although A/G ratio of swine was below 1.00, and its value showed slightly higher than the others. The A/G ratio in this result including the abnormalities was relatively low but this ratio was higher than that values obtained by other reporters. 3. Twenty nine percent of cattles and 34 per cent of swines in this study, fluctuation of A/G ratio was great. The values of ${\alpha}$ and ${\gamma}$ globulins thought to be influenced by the amount of total globulin except ${\beta}$-globulin in swine. To obtain more occurate results, more sample size is required, in other hand some animals that is in subclinical condition might influence the values of this study. 4. The ratios of each fraction mobility which were regarded albumin as 100 were A 100, ${\alpha}$ 73, ${\beta}$ 47, ${\gamma}$ 30 in Cattle and A 100, ${\alpha}$ 71, ${\beta}$ 46, ${\gamma}$ 30 in Swine.

For various types of the Pungchon limestone, diverse mineral characters of the limestone including their size and morphology are investigated by using of ELS and SEM to examine the possibility of application as fillers to paper industry. Also, the measurement of zeta potential and the evaluation of coagulation properties in calcite suspension was made for fine powders of the limestone to examine the applicability and efficiency in wet-papermaking process. Fine powder of the Pungchon lime-stone, largely controlled by original mineral characters of ore in mineralogical aspects, exhibits some-what different trend in particle morphology according to ore types, and thereby, the size distribution, zeta potential and coagulation properties also become different. The examined whiteness, brightness, opacity and sheet strength in hand sheet also show remarkable differences according to ore types. These are seemed to be basically due to the results of combined effects of whiteness, site distribution, refractive index, and morphology of the limestone powder on the properties of hand sheet. Considering the investigated results, all types of the Pungchon limestone appear to be sufficiently applicable to paper industry. Especially, the mega-crystalline calcite type is evaluated to be overall suitable for the purpose of paper industry due to the higher values in whiteness and brightness. In addition the fine powder of micro-crystalline calcite type is assessed particularly to have a good quality in sheet strength by virtue of irregular particle shape.
