The retroviral Gag polyprotein directs the assembly of virion particles and plays an important role in some events after entry into a host cell. The Gag polyprotein of a virus mixture is responsible for inducing murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (MAIDS) when injected into susceptible strains of mice. In order to identify the host cellular proteins which interact with the MAIDS virus Gag proteins and possibly mediate the function of the Gag proteins, mouse T-cell leukemic cDNA expression library was screened using the yeast GAL4 two hybrid system. Of 11 individual positive clones, the clone Y1 was selected for the study of protein-protein interaction. Its DNA sequence revealed that it was an exact match to the murine SH3 domain-containing protein SH3P8. It is expressed as 2.4 kbp transcripts in testis at higher levels and in various tissues tested at lower levels. Glutathione S-transferase-Y1 fusion protein binds tightly to $Pr60^{def-gag}$ as well as $Pr65^{eco-gag}$.

This research was conducted to determine the plant growth and nutrient contents of potted chrysanthemum 'Lima Honey' as influenced by application rate of fused superphosphate (FSSP) in three root media, peatmoss+vermiculite (1:1, v/v; PV), peatmoss+composted rice hall (1:1, v/v; PR), and peatmoss+composted pine bark (1:1, v/v; PB). All root media contained polyacrylic acid sodium salt at a rate of $4.5g L^{-1}$. The treatment of $1.4g L^{-1}$ in PV and those of $0.7g L^{-1}$ in PR and PB had the greatest fresh and dry weights in each root medium at both 43 and 80 days after transplanting. Elevated application rates of FSPP increased tissue contents of N, P, and K at both 43 and 80 days after transplanting in PV medium. However, the differences in tissue contents of N, P and K in PR medium were less significant among treatments of FSPP. The pre-planting FSPP also less affected the tissue contents of nutrients at 80 days after transplanting as compared to those at 43 days after transplanting. Elevated application rates of FSPP in PV medium increased EC and the concentrations of $NO_3,\;P_2O_5$, K, Ca, and Mg in soil solution of root media at 43 days after transplanting. The EC in PV medium at 80 days after transplanting was higher than that at 43 days after transplanting. The EC in all root media at 80 days after transplanting was not different among treatments of FSPP.

Crude extract of bioconverted linoleic acid using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PR3 was evaluated for its antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogenic bacteria. Crude extract showed antibacterial activity against four Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), S. aureus (KCTC 1916), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19166), and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), and one Gramnegative bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KCTC 2004), with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 750 to $1,500\;{\mu}g{\cdot}ml^{-1}$. S. aureus and B. subtilis were selected for growth inhibition assays with bioconverted linoleic acid. Major antibacterial effects occurred at lag phase.

The in vitro anti-fungal activity of hydroxylated fatty acids obtained from microbial conversion by Psuedomonas aeruginosa PR3 using ricinoleic acid(RA), eicosadienoic acid(EDA) and conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) as substrates, was investigated. Bioconverted hydroxylated fatty acids showed different anti-fungal activities potentials against the range of phytopathogenic fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Sclerotonia sclerotiorum, Colletotricum capsici, Fusarium solani and Phytophthora capsici. RA and EDA showed up to 50% fungal mycelial inhibition at the concentration of $5{\mu}l\;ml^{-1}$. RA, EDA and CLA also exhibited anti-fungal activities with minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), ranging from 500 to $1000{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$. Screening was also carried out using varied concentrations of bioconverted RA and EDA for determining the anti-fungal effect on the spore germination of different fungi. Bioconverted RA and EDA showed a considerable degree of spore germination inhibition.

The electrical properties and its stability of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb-based varistors were investigated for different sintering temperatures. As the sintering temperatures increased, the varistor voltage decreased in the range of $705.2{\sim}299.1$ V/mm, the nonlinear coefficient decreased in the range of $42.4{\sim}31.7$, and the leakage current was in the range of $1.0{\sim}1.7\;{\mu}A$. The stability of electrical characteristics increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The varistors sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ marked the high electrical stability, with $%\Delta$ $V_{1mA}=+0.1%,\;%\Delta{\alpha}=+3.2%$, and $%{\Delta}I_L=+117.6%$ for DC accelerated aging stress state of $0.95V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24\;h$.

The surface state of Ar plasma-exposed Fe doped SI-InP have been investigated by photoreflectance (PR). From Ar plasma-exposed InP with 30 W for 10sec, the PR signals include a peak $(E_{Ar})$ that is located at 1.336 eV. We think that this peak was originated shallow level related to $V_In-V_P$. And we compared this level with the level obtained by surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV) measurement. The result of the PR agrees well with that from SPV. Additionally, Ar plasma induced phosphorus vacancy is related to shallow level. Therefore, the change of surface electric field are attributed to the shallow level. This level is caused by the existence of phsophorus vacancy on InP surface.

The electrical and dielectric properties of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}CoO-Cr_2O_3La_2O_3-based$ nonlinear resistors were investigated at different sintering temperatures in the range of $1230{\sim}1300^{|circ}C$. As the sintering temperature increased, the breakdown voltage decreased from 777.9 to 108.0V/mm, the nonlinear coefficient greatly decreased from 77.0 to 7.1, and the leakage current increased from $0.4{\mu}A\;to\;50.6{\mu}A$. On the other hand, the donor density from $0.90{\times}10^{18}\;to\;2.59{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$ and the barrier height decreased from 1.89 to 0.69 eV with increasing temperature. The dielectric dissipation factor increased from 0.0879 to 0.2839 for the increase of sintering temperature.

The luminescence properties of $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xTiO_3:Pr$, Al red phosphor for Field Emission Displays (FEDs) have been investigated in powders prepared though solid-state reactions. $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xTiO_3:Pr$, Al red phosphors indicate a higher luminescent intensity, and have been found to have potential for field emission displays. The addition of Ba increased the luminescence intensity at 617 nm by up to 30%. Ba ions are effective in producing the energy transfers from host-to-activator in 4f-5d transitions.

MBE법으로 성장된 InAs/AlAs 양자점(quantum dots; QD) 구조의 광학적 특성을 photoreflectance(PR) 이용하여 조사하였다. Wetting layer(WL) 두께에 따른 전체 장벽의 폭이 달라짐에 따라 GaAs 완충층 및 WL 신호의 세기가 변화되었다. QD 층이 식각된 시료의 상온 PR측정 결과로부터 $1.1{\sim}1.4\;eV$ 영역의 완만한 신호는 InAs QDs과 WL에 관련된 신호임을 알았다. 온도 $450{\sim}750^{\circ}C$범위에서 열처리 시켰을 때 WL층의 PR 신호가 red shift하였는데, 이는 열처리 후 InAs WL와 AlAs층 사이에 Al과 In의 내부 확산에 의해 양자점의 크기가 균일하게 재분포 되고, WL의 임계 두께가 증가하였음을 나타낸다.

Pr\ulcornerO\ulcorner-based ZnO varistors were fabricated in the range of $Y_2$O$_3$additive content from 0.5 to 4.0mol%, and its microstructure and electrical properties were investigated. Yttrium was distributed nearly in the grain boundaries and the cluster phase formed at nodal point but more in cluster phase. The average grain size was decreased markedly from 34.9 to 8.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with increasing $Y_2$O$_3$additive content. It is believed that the decrease of grain size is attributed to the formation of cluster phase and the weakening of driving force for liquid sintering. As a result, $Y_2$O$_3$was acted as the inhibitor of the grain growth. With increasing $Y_2$O$_3$additive content, the varistor voltage, the activation energy, and the nonlinear exponent increased whereas the leakage current decreased, especially 4.0mol% $Y_2$O$_3$-added varistor exhibited very good I-V characteristics; nonlinear exponent 87.42 and leakage current 46.77nA. On the other hand, as $Y_2$O$_3$additive content increases, the varistor showed tendency of the salient decrease for donor concentration and the increase for barrier height. Conclusively, it is estimated that ZnO:Pr varistor compositions added more than 2.0mol% $Y_2$O$_3$are to be used to fabricate useful varistors.
