From among the group of patients diagnosed clinically to have Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS), subgroups with pure motor involvement have been identified. Some of such patients appear to have an axonal neuropathy by eletrophysiology. Such cases have been termed acute motor axonal neuropathy(AMAN). Many of these patients are found clinically to have normal sensation and to have electrodiagnostic patterns consistent with selective degeneration of motor axons. A serological survey showed some of individuals with AMAN had evidence of antecedent Campylobacter jejuni(CJ) infection. And AMAN has an association with the presence of anti-ganglioside antibodies. This article reviewed briefly the AMAN and their relationship to CJ infection and anti-ganglioside antibodies.

This experiment was conducted to find the most suitable crop establishment method and weed management practices for transplanted aman rice in Bangladesh. Rice variety Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) dhan44 was used as planting materials where three crop establishment methods ($T_1$: direct wet seeding by drum seeder; $T_2$: hand broadcasting; $T_3$: transplanting) and four weeding options ($W_1$: Hand weeding (HW); $W_2$: BRRI weeder+HW; $W_3$: Herbicide+HW; and $W_4$: no weeding) were tested. Among the crop establishment methods, the highest grain yield ($5.12t\;ha^{-1}$) was obtained with the $T_3$, while the highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) of 2.08 was found in $T_2$. In case of the weed management method, $W_1$ showed superior results on the plant $density/m^2$ (139.66) at 60 days after transplanting (DAT), grain yield ($4.97t\;ha^{-1}$), and BCR (2.03). On the other hand, the highest plant dry matter (36.20 g) at 60 DAT and the highest yield ($6.10t\;ha^{-1}$) were obtained in a $T_3W_1$ combination. The results of this study show that the productivity of rice during aman season could be most significantly increased with the use of transplanting ($T_3$) alone, hand weeding ($W_1$) alone, or a combination of the two methods ($T_3W_1$).

An analysis method of trajectory prediction has been suggested and the developed trajectory prediction module, which is an important functional component of the Arrival Manager (AMAN) of Jeju airport, has been tested by applying the suggested method. The objective of this method is to improve prediction performance of the trajectory prediction module. The trajectory prediction module predicts the trajectories based on the real-time track data and flight plans. Therefore, the suggested analysis method includes the simulation framework which is based on real-time playback, recording, and graphic display systems for testing. Besides, the definition of time error, which is a important index for the time based scheduling system, such as AMAN, is included in the suggested analysis method. An example of arrival time prediction accuracy improvement through the suggested analysis method has also been presented.

Fusarium oxysporum trypsin (FOT) is a fungal serine protease similar to mammal trypsin. The FOT could be successfully expressed in Pichiapastoris by engineering the natural propeptide APQEIPN. In this study, we constructed two recombinant enzymes with engineered amino acid sequences added to the N-terminus of FOT and expressed in P. pastoris. The N-terminal residues had various effects on the structural and functional properties of trypsin. The FOT, and the recombinants TE (with peptide YVEF) and TS (with peptide YV) displayed the same optimum temperature ($40^{\circ}C$) and pH (8.0). However, the combinants TE and TS showed significantly increased thermal stability at $40^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the combinants TE and TS also showed enhanced tolerance of alkaline pH conditions. Compared with those of wild-type FOT, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds and the cation ${\pi}$-interactions of the recombinants TE and TS were significantly increased. The recombinants TE and TS also had significantly increased catalytic efficiencies (referring to the specificity constant, $k_{cat}/K_m$), 1.75-fold and 1.23-fold than wild-type FOT. In silico modeling analysis uncovered that the introduction of the peptides YVEF and YV resulted in shorter distances between the substrate binding pocket (D174, G198, and G208) and catalytic triad (His42, Asp102, and Ser180), which would improve the electron transfer rate and catalytic efficiency. In addition, N-terminal residues modification described here may be a useful approach for improving the catalytic efficiencies and characteristics of other target enzymes.

The mesocotyl elongation, having much effect on emergence and stand establishment in the direct sowing culture of rice, was investingated and summarized as follows: As to origin of cultivars, the average lengths of mesocotyl were 9.6 mm in the Indica-Japonica hybrid cultivars, 4.4 mm in the native cultivars and 3.2mm in the Japonica type, respectively. The mesocotyl lengths were tjereh, aman, aus, boro and bulu in order, with the mesocotyl lengths of 29.3mm and 5.4 mm in tjereh and bulu, respectively. The mesocotyl lengths were great in Baekkyungjo, Dadajo & Hejo among the native cultivars, in Sangpungbyeo, Paltal & Gokyangdo of the Japonica type and in Weonpungbyeo, Gayabyeo, Milyang 30 & Sujeongbyeo in Indica- Japonica hybrid cultivars, respectively. The mesocotyl length was the greatest at the seeds sampled I week after flowering (39. 3mm in length), and became decreased with the longer grain-filling. The mesocotyl elongated worse with the longer duration of seed storage regardless of seed maturity, and became longer at the 5$^{\circ}C$ storage plot than at the 15 and 25$^{\circ}C$ plots.

Airborne infrared techniques have been used in wild land fire management for decades. This paper describes a kind of infrared scanning system based on a rotating drum with a tilted porthole underside the plane nose. This design increases the stability of the mechanism system, reduces air resistance and protects inner parts. Aberration characteristics of a tilted ellipsoid porthole are analyzed and an effective solution is invented which makes the system achieve $30^{\circ}$ field of regard. The system's ultimate value of modulation transfer function is near the diffraction limit, which indicates that the performance of the rotating optical system meets the imaging requirements.

In this paper, we introduce a generating function for a Legendre-based poly-Bernoulli polynomials and give some identities of these polynomials related to the Stirling numbers of the second kind. By making use of the generating function method and some functional equations mentioned in the paper, we conduct a further investigation in order to obtain some implicit summation formulae for the Legendre-based poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials.

A case of hemifacial hyperplasia that presented with muscular, skeletal, and dental hyperplasia along with lipomatous infiltration was described. Advanced imaging was useful in identifying the lipomatous infiltration present in the lesion, which raises the possibility of lipomatosis having a diverse presentation in hemifacial hyperplasia. As there was a scarcity of related literature in the field of dentomaxillofacial radiology, this report would make us familiar with its computed tomographic and magnetic resonance image findings.
