  • In this study the extracellular production of 5-aminolevulinic aicd (ALA) by recombinant E. coli BL2l (DE3) pLysS harboring the plasmid pFLS45 are investigated. Optimum concentrations of succinic acid and glycine for cell growth and ALA production were found to be 30 mM and 15 mM, respectively. Levulinic acid (LA) as an inhibitor of ALAD was added to the culture medium in the end of exponential cell growth phase and its optimum concentration was 30 mM. Growth of recombinant E. coli BL2l (DE3) pLysS (pFLS45) was largely dependent upon the pH value of culture medium. When the pH of culture medium was in the range of 6.0 and 6.5, high cell mass and ALA production were obtained. IPTG induction for the expression of the fusion gene did not enhance the production of ALA. Recombinant cell grew at 30't faster than at 37$^{\circ}C$, but ALA productivity was lower than at 37$^{\circ}C$. Repeated addition of glycine, succinic acid, and LA increased the production of ALA and the inhibition of intracellular ALA dehydratase activity, with up to 1.3 g/L ALA having been produced in the cultivation.

  • The 13 major blast resistance(R) genes against Magnaporthe grisea were screened in a number of Korean rice varieties using molecular markers. Of the 98 rice varieties tested, 28 were found to contain the Pia gene originating from Japanese japonica rice genotypes. The Pib gene from BL1 and BL7 was incorporated into 39 Korean japonica varieties, whereas this same gene from the IRRI-bred indica varieties was detected in all Tongil-type varieties. We also found that 17 of the japonica varieties contained the Pii gene. The Pii gene in Korean rice varieties originates from the Korean japonica variety Nongbaeg, and Japanese japonica varieties Hitomebore, Inabawase, and Todorokiwase. The Pi5 gene, which clusters with Pii on chromosome 9, was identified only in Taebaeg. Thirty-four varieties were found to contain alleles of the resistance gene Pita or Pita-2. The Pita gene in japonica varieties was found to be inherited from the Japanese japonica genotype Shimokita, and the Pita-2 gene was from Fuji280 and Sadominori. Seventeen japonica and one Tongil-type varieties contained the Piz gene, which in the japonica varieties originates from Fukuhikari and 54BC-68. The Piz-t gene contained in three Tongil-type varieties was derived from IRRI-bred indica rice varieties. The Pi9(t) gene locus that is present in Korean japonica and Tongil-type varieties was not inherited from the original Pi9 gene from wild rice Oryza minuta. The Pik-multiple allele genes Pik, Pik-m, and Pik-p were identified in 24 of the varieties tested. In addition, the Pit gene inherited from the indica rice K59 strain was not found in any of the Korean japonica or Tongil-type varieties tested.

  • In this study, we examined the immunostimulating characteristics of a hot water extract (RCW) and crude polysaccharides (RCP) of red cabbage. RCW and RCP did not show any cytotoxicity in B16BL6 cells and macrophages. Although the sugar compositions of RCW and RCP were similar, the uronic acid content of RCP was higher than that of RCW RCP significantly increased the production of various cytokines and NO, whereas RCW did not affect the production of cytokines and NO. In an ex vivo assay of natural killer (NK) cell activity, intravenous (i.v.) administration of RCP significantly augmented NK cytotoxicity against Yac-1 tumor cells at 3 days after RCP treatment. In an experimental lung metastasis model using B16BL6 melanoma cells, i.v. administration of RCP at a dose of $1,000{\mu}g$ per mouse significantly inhibited 47.3% of lung metastasis. These results suggest that crude polysaccharide isolated from red cabbage is a promising food ingredient for the prevention of tumor metastasis.

  • 디지털 위성방송의 시작과 더불어 본격적인 데이터 방송의 시대가 열렸다. 데이터방송이 시작 되면서 데이터방송용 양방향 콘텐츠에 대한 수요가 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 하지만 양방향 콘텐츠 개발에 필요한 저작 도구 및 검증 시스템은 아주 초보적인 수준에 머물러 있는 것이 현실이다. 그러나 방송의 특성상 콘텐츠 상에서의 오류는 방송 사고에까지 이를 수 있는 심각한 상황이 연출 될 수 있다. 본 연구 팀은 이러한 DTV 콘텐츠 개발 요구에 부응하여, 개발자의 콘텐츠 개발 및 사업자 또는 기관에서의 콘텐츠 검증이 원활이 이루어 질수 있도록 하는 양방향 콘텐츠 검증 시스템을 개발 중이다. 양방향 콘텐츠 검증 시스템은 Java 컴파일러, 디버거, 미들웨어, 가상머신, 그리고 IDE 등으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서 제시한 자바 컴파일러는 양방향 콘텐츠 검증 시스템에서 데이터 방송용 자바 애플리케이션(Xlet)을 컴파일하여 에뮬레이팅 하거나 런타임 상에서 디버깅이 가능하도록 하는 바이너리형태의 class 파일을 생성한다. 이를 위해 Java 컴파일러는 *.java 파일을 입력으로 받아 어휘 분석과 구문 분석 과정을 거친 후 SDT(syntax-directed translation)에 의해 AST(Abstract Syntax Tree)를 생성한다. 클래스링커는 생성된 AST를 탐색하여 동적으로 로딩 되는 파일들을 연결하여 AST를 확장한다. 의미 분석과정에서는 확장된 AST를 입력으로 받아 참조된 명칭의 사용이 타당한지 등을 검사하고 코드 생성이 용이하도록 AST를 변형하고 부가적인 정보를 삽입하여 ST(Semantic Tree)를 생성한다. 코드 생성 단계에서는 ST를 입력으로 받아 이미 정해 놓은 패턴에 맞추어 Bytecode를 출력한다.ovoids에서도 각각의 점들에 대한 선량을 측정하였다.

  • 현재 초등학교에서 실시되고 있는 ICT(Information & Communication Technology) 교육은 ICT 소양교육과 ICT 활용교육으로 구분되어 실시되고 있다. ICT 소양교육은 컴퓨터 과학을 기반으로 하여 정보기술과 통신 기술에 대한 기본적인 소양교육으로 그 내용을 구성하고 있다. 현재 초고속 통신망의 발달과 컴퓨터 사용으로 인하여 소양교육에 대한 학업 성취도는 매우 향상되어 가고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 앞으로의 ICT 교육은 활용 교육에 더 많은 노력을 기울여 전 교과에 걸쳐 정보 통신 기술을 활용하여 교육의 내용뿐만 아니라 교육의 방법 등에서 많은 변화의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. ICT 활용교육에서 컴퓨터를 활용하기 위해서는 실생활에서 습득하거나 측정된 데이터를 컴퓨터에 입력하는 과정, 데이터 로깅(data logging), 으로부터 시작 한다. 최근의 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 데이터가 발생한 곳에서 즉시 받아들이고 또한 결과가 필요한 곳에서 즉시 정보를 제공하여 주는 컴퓨팅 환경을 구성하는 것이 매우 중요 하다고 본다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 기본 개념 중 하나인 실시간 데이터 로깅 기법을 응용하여 초등학교에서 ICT 활용 학습 활동 시 발생되는 각종 원시 데이터들을 컴퓨터로 가져오는 데이터로깅 모델을 제안하고, 초등학교 과학과를 중심으로 교육과정의 실험 요소들을 분석하여 이를 개발된 모델에 적용하였다. 데이터 로깅 모델 적용 결과, 손쉽게 해당 원시 데이터를 수집할 수 있었고 데이터의 처리 및 분석을 간편하게 수행하여 정확한 실험 데이터를 바탕으로 실험 결과에 대한 토의, 토론에 더욱 많은 시간을 할애할 수 있었으며 학교에서의 ICT 활용 교육의 새로운 모델을 제시하였다.다.ovoids에서도 각각의 점들에 대한 선량을 측정하였다.

  • Backgrounds: Sticking warm and hot herbs to acupoint in Dog-Days where the strongest Yangqi takes place, Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days is one of Oriental medical treatment to cure winter diseases in the summer. This treatment is widespread in China and Taiwan, and is becoming popular in South Korea nowadays. Objectives: The research has been conducted to evaluate the influencial factors and efficacy in Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days. Methods: We visited one kindergarten in Dog-Days of 2010, and attached pills which are made of Sinapis Semen(白芥子), Corydalis Tuber(玄胡索), Asari Herba Cum Radix(細辛), Juice of Zingiber Officinale(薑汁) to BL-13(肺兪), BL-15(心兪), BL-17(膈兪) of 56 children for 4-6 hours(34 boys, 22 girls, $52.64{\pm}16.85$ months, 19-78 months). Exacerbating effect or non-significant changes in respiratory symptoms before and after the treatment were ified.. The influentialfactors of efficacy were analyzed by Pearson's $x^2$-test and Fisher's exact test. In addition, the efficacy and satisfaction among once, twice, and three times treatment groups were verified by ANOVA. Results: 27 children (48.2%) were effective, but efficacy felt by parents is 45 cases (80.4%). Sex, perspiration, stool, urine, sleep, cold of hands and feet, cold sensitivity, and frequency of Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days has no relation to efficacy(p>0.05). However, the efficacy is poor in 1 and 2 age(p=0.030). Difference among efficacy of once, twice, and three times treatment groups is not significant(p=0.069), whereas there are linear association in frequency of Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days and efficacy(p=0.030). 36 parents (64.3%) are satisfied with Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days, and we observed significant difference among once, twice, three times treatment groups(p=0.041). 19 parents (33.9%) had been known about Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days, but 53 parents (94.6%) wanted repetition, and 41 parents (73.2%) intended to recommend it to acquaintance. Side effects are minor itching in two cases. Twenty seven participants showed positive effect, and forty five people (80.4%) felt beneficial. Sex, perspiration, stool, urine, sleep, cold hands and feet, sensitivity in cold, and frequency of Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days has no relation to the efficacy(p>0.05). Though the efficacy was poor in one and two year old infants, it was linearly correlated with the frequency count and responses from the treatment (p=0.030). Thirty six participants (64.3%) satisfied with the treatment, and so did the first, second, and third participant groups (p=0.041). Even though, only nineteen participants (33.9%) were familiar with Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days, fifty three participants (94.6%) preferred to repeat the treatment, and 41 parents were preferable to recommend the treatment to others. Side effects of minor itching has been reported in a couple cases. Conclusions: Acupoint sticking in Dog-Days is effective in children older than three year old.
