Preferential flow has recently been the subject of increasing interest because these phenomena contribute to solute transport in soils. Commonly, preferential flow paths are associated with macropores or highly structured soils. We presented an analysis of the measured breakthrough curves (BTCs) of $Cl^-$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions to test the occurrence of preferential flow in soils using miscible displacement technique under steady flow conditions. We also analyzed soil water retention curves and from this curves induced cumulative pore size distribution of undisturbed soils, which sampled from Ap1, B1, and C horizons of Songjeong series soils (the fine loamy, mesic family of Typic Hapludults). In this study, miscible displacement experiment on C horizon was excluded, because it is structureless sandy loam with saturated hydraulic conductivity of $5.2cmhr^{-1}$. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of Ap1 horizon was $2.0cmhr^{-1}$, which was about 7 times higher than that of B1 horizon ($0.27cm hr^{-1}$). Cumulative pore size distribution predicted that Ap1 horizon had more macropores (pore diameter larger than $49{\mu}m$, equivalent to -6 kpa of soil matric potential) than B1 horizon. The hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient from chloride BTCs was estimated as $1.3cm^2hr^{-1}$ for B1 and $34cm^2hr^{-1}$ for Ap1 horizon. However the retardation factors of B1 and Ap1 horizon were significantly different, i.e. 1 and 0.6, respectively, which means that there was distinct partition between mobile water and immobile phase in Ap1 horizon. The copper retardation effect of Ap1 horizon was less than that of B1 horizon, even though cation exchange capacity of Ap1 horizon was higher than that of B1 horizon. Thus, breakthrough curves of $Cl^-$ and $Cu^{2+}$ obviously showed the probability that preferential flow would occur in Ap1 horizon.

In HTPB/AP propellants, zirconium(Zr) addition to formulation was shown to be less specific impulse than aluminum(Al) by the theoretical calculation because of the lower flame temperature and higher molecular weight of Zr oxide. It was found that the burning rate was faster with the finer size of Zr and the more content of $2{\mu}m$ Zr the faster burning rate is in HTPB/AP/Zr propellants caused by the more conduction energy transfer from Zr flame to the burning surface. Also the burning rate of HTPB/AP/Zr propellant could be reduced by addition of 150nm Al, depending on AP size distribution in formulation with Butacene and $1{\mu}m$ AP.

The therapeutic effectiveness of adenine arabinoside(tora-A) and its conjugate of prednisone(BR-8702-AP) was compared in Herpes simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) infected BALB/C mice. The BALB/C mouse was infected with HSV-1(700 PFU/mouse) intranasally. Among mice infected intranasally with virus, a mortality rate of 100% was observed. On the oral administration of non-toxic doses of ara-A or BR-8702-AP(125 mg /kg/day) for 5 consecutive days 2 hours after virus infection, the tora-A was highly effective in reducing mortality to 0% (P<0.001) and BR-8702-AP was also effective in reducing mortality to 15% (P<0.01). In this model infection, the virus was first replicated in the lung and transmitted to the brain. Both arts-A and BR-8702-AP did not inhibit the viral replication in the lung, but they inhibited the viral transmission to the brain. However, the BR-8702-AP was less effective than the aria-A to prevent transmission of virus to brain. Therefore, the reduced mortality due to tora-A or BR-8702-AP therapy was associated with inhibition of viral transmission to brain.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is that the protective effects of habmayou on acetaminophen (AP)-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated in mice. Methods : Before administering AP mice supplied with only water were left alone for 18 hours. after concentration and dissolution in poly ethylglycol AP 400mg per 1kg of mouse weight, we injected AP titrated density with a physiological saline solution into the abdominal cavity of mouse to induce hepatotoxicity. we researched mortality rate and the shape of liver tissue of mouse. Results : Treatment with habmayou (250 mg/kg, p.o.) 0.5 h after AP administration significantly prevented an increase in plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities and AP-induced hepatic necrosis, and also reduced AP-induced mortality from 46% to 0%. In addition, oral treatment with habmayou significantly prevented AP-induced depletion of glutathione (GSH) contents. However, habmayou treatment, by itself, did not affect hepatic GSH contents. Conclusion : These results show that the hepatoprotective effects of habmayou against AP overdose may be due to its ability to block the bioactivation of AP by regeneration of hepatonecrotic cells.

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' perception of Advanced Placement Program. Participations of this study were 1144 students from 14 science high schools. The results showed as follows. First, students perceived positively regarding AP program and were willing to take AP courses because of interesting and challenging in academic area which is provided by AP courses. Secondly, many students would like to take AP courses in Differential and Integral Calculus 1, General Physics I, General Chemistry I and General Biology. Also, they would like to take AP courses in first term as a mandatory subjects. Third, responses perceived that AP courses were challenging, difficult, and of high quality. Finally, students perceived the benefit of AP courses in earing college credit. However, 35% of responses wished to receive an exemption for all AP courses. Also, they wished to have dual-major or participate in students exchange program as a benefit of AP program. Implications of the study were discussed in depth based on the results.

The neutral, reduced, and oxidized 2,2-trans isomers of $Rh_2(ap)_4$ (ap=2-anilinopyridinate) were investigated with respect to dioxygen binding in $CH_2Cl_2$ containing 0.1 M tetrabutyl-ammonium perchlorate. $Rh_2(ap)_4$ binds dioxygen in nonaqueous media and forms a $Rh^{II}Rh^{III}$ superoxide complex, $Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)$. This neutral species was isolated and is characterized by UV-visible and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and cyclic voltammetry. It can be reduced by one electron at $E_{1/2}$ = -0.45 V vs. SCE in $CH_2Cl_2$ and gives ${[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]}^-$ as demonstrated by the ESR spectrum of a frozen solution taken after controlled potential reduction. The superoxide ion in ${[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]}^-$ is axially bound to one of the two rhodium ions, both of which are in a +2 oxidation state. $Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)$ can also be stepwise oxidized in two one-electron transfer steps at $E_{1/2}$ = 0.21 V and 0.85 V vs. SCE in $CH_2Cl_2$ and gives ${[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]}^+$ followed by ${[Rh_2(ap)_4(O_2)]}^{2+}$. ESR spectra demonstrate that the singly oxidized complex is best described as ${[Rh^{II}Rh^{III}(ap)_4(O_2)]}^+$ where the odd electron is delocalized on both of the two rhodium ions and the axial ligand is molecular oxygen.

Recently with the high expectation of voice over WLAN service, to supped fast inter-AP security transition in WLAN AP is one of the most actively investigating issues. It is also very important to minimize inter-AP security transition latency, while maintaining constantly the secure association from old AP when a station transits to new AP. Hence, this paper first defines secure transition latency as a primary performance metric of AP system in WLAN supporting IEEE802.11i, 802.1x, and 802.11f, and then presents low latency inter-AP security transition mechanism and its security FSM whose objective is to minimize inter-AP transition latency. Experiment shows that the proposed scheme outperforms the legacy 802.1X AP up to $79\%$ with regard to the transition latency.

대부분의 인슐린의 작용들은 인슐린 수용체를 통하여 이루어진다. 인슐린이 수용체에 결합하면, 수용체 고유의 tyrosine kinase 효소활성의 증가를 유발시키며, 결과적으로 세포내에 존재하는 기질 단백질, IRS-1, 의 tyrosine 잔기의 인산화를 증가시키게 된다. 이후, 여러 형태의 serine / threonine protein kinase 의 연속적인 활성화가 일어난다. 이들에 부가해서, 인슐린의 효자는 세포핵 내에까지 전달되어 유전자 발현의 조절과 같은 세포핵 고유의 활동에도 관여한다. 현재, 세포막에서 시작된 인슐린의 신호들이 세포핵까지 전달되는 정확한 기전에 대해서는 알려진 바 없지만, 최근의 연구에 의하면 MAP Kinase 와 S6 Kinase 그리고 Transcription Factor AP-1의 중요성이 제시되고 있다. 특히 유전자 조절 기전에는 핵단백질인 transcription factor의 인산화 반응이 큰 역할을 한다고 보고되고 있는바, 본 연구에서 AP-1. transcription factor 의 인산화 반응이 인슐린의 신호전달계에 미치는 역할에 대하여 고찰하였다. 요약하면, AP-1 transcription factor의 구성원인 c-Jun, c-Fos 그리고 Fos 관련 단백질들의 인산화가 인슐린에 의해 증가되며, 동시에 그들의. DNA-binding activity 와 유전자 발현의 활성이 증가됨을 밝힘으로써, AP-1 transcription factor의 인산화 반응이 인슐린의 핵 내에서의 작용기전에 중요한 역할을 함이 제시되고 있다. 또한 AP-1 의 인산화 반응에 관여하는 세포핵 protein kinase로서 Casein Kinase II 의 중요성이 밝혀졌다.
