  • The stability of low-speed spinning process exhibiting spinline flow-induced crystallization (FIC) with no neck-like spinline deformation has been investigated using the method of linear stability analysis. Effects of various process conditions such as fluid viscoelasticity and the spinline cooling on the spinning stability have been found closely related to the development of the spinline crystallinity. It also has been found that the FIC makes the system less stable or more unstable than no FIC cases when the spinline crystallinity reaches its maximum possible value, whereas the FIC generally stabilizes the system if the crystallinity doesn't reach its maximum value on the spinline. It is believed that the destabilizing effect of the FIC on low-speed spinning when the crystallinity is fully developed on the spinline is due to the reduction of the real spinning length available for deformation on the spinline. On the other hand, the increased spinline tension caused by the FIC when the maximum crystallinity is not reached on the spinline and thus no reduction in the spinning length occurs, makes the sensitivity of spinline variables to external disturbances smaller and hence stabilizes the system. These linear stability results are consistent with the findings by nonlinear transient simulation, as first reported by Lee et al. (2005b).

  • The habitats characteristics of Wedelia prostrata were investigated to compile basic data for conservation and restoration. Natural habitats were located at inclinations of $1-40^{\circ}$. Thirty eight vascular plants were identified from 19 quadrats in 7 habitats. The importance value of Wedelia prostrata is 44.77% and 5 highly ranked species such as Vitex rotundifolia(13.32%), Carex pumila(6.75%), Calystegia soldnella(4.24%), Aster hispidus(2.54%) and Artemisa capillaris(2.43%) are considered to be an affinity with Wedelia prostrata in their habitats. Species diversity was 0.79, and dominance and evenness were found to be 0.25 and 0.67, respectively. Average field capacity was 4.51%, the organic matter was 3.37%, pH was 8.17, available phosphorus was $1.33{\mu}g/g$, and electrical conductivity was $802.01{\mu}s/cm$.

  • Introduction: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are particularly vulnerable to the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). Currently, no anti-NSCLC/COVID-19 treatment options are available. As ginsenoside Rg3 is beneficial to NSCLC patients and has been identified as an entry inhibitor of the virus, this study aims to explore underlying pharmacological mechanisms of ginsenoside Rg3 for the treatment of NSCLC patients with COVID-19. Methods: Based on a large-scale data mining and systemic biological analysis, this study investigated target genes, biological processes, pharmacological mechanisms, and underlying immune implications of ginsenoside Rg3 for NSCLC patients with COVID-19. Results: An important gene set containing 26 target genes was built. Target genes with significant prognostic value were identified, including baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5), carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9), endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB), glucagon receptor (GCGR), interleukin 2 (IL2), peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4), and solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1). The expression of target genes was significantly correlated with the infiltration level of macrophages, eosinophils, natural killer cells, and T lymphocytes. Ginsenoside Rg3 may benefit NSCLC patients with COVID-19 by regulating signaling pathways primarily involved in anti-inflammation, immunomodulation, cell cycle, cell fate, carcinogenesis, and hemodynamics. Conclusions: This study provided a comprehensive strategy for drug discovery in NSCLC and COVID-19 based on systemic biology approaches. Ginsenoside Rg3 may be a prospective drug for NSCLC patients with COVID-19. Future studies are needed to determine the value of ginsenoside Rg3 for NSCLC patients with COVID-19.

  • This study was undertaken in order to observe the differences of the changes in the water-holding capacity (WHC), extractability of proteins (EP) and pH value of ovine muscle during storage. WHC decreased gradually after slaughter, reached to minimum at about 2-4hr after death as well as that of pH value and then these were recovered along with the progress of the storage. The same tendency was observed in EP but the degree of the changes in pH value up to 6hr after slaughter was more rapid this that of WHC and EP. After the fourth day, the rate of recovery in WHC, EP and pH value in ovine muscle during storage showed similar pattern.

  • Composite seasioning was stored at different temperature with PE/Al/PE/PET packaging. $Q_{10}$ value due to temperature was 2.54 and shelf-lie of composite seasoning was predicted 29, 73 and 185 weeks at $35^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$, respectively. L value was decreased during storage but a and b value had little change. Correlation coefficient between sensory score and cole. value was low. Browning development and carbonyl value were increased with storage temperature and correlation coefficient between sensory score and those was comparatively high. Moisture content, salinity and total sugar content were within KS-standard during 18 weeks storage.

  • The purpose of this study is to estimate the biodiversity conservation value of Heory stock in Sun-Cheon. Expected values of residents' Willingness To Pay (WTP) was estimated using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) which is the most popular method in estimating conservation values of biological diversities. Three different estimation methods were used in statistical estimation, and the results were different from each other. Results of statistical analysis show that the expected value of WTP in logit model is highest, 5,772 Won per month. Those of A model which conducted OLS estimation using open ended questionnaire and B-1 model which conducted OLS estimation using dichotomous choice questionnaire were 1,978 Won per month and 2,391 Won per month respectively. The average expected value of WTP from three model was 3,380. This average value was expected to reduce methodological biases.

  • Two new polyketides, chinoketides A and B (1 - 2) with a known compound xylarphthalide A (3), were isolated from the solid medium of the endophytes from the leaves of the relic plant Distylium chinense with the "black-box" co-culture method, and the structures of two new compounds were elucidated by NMR, MS and CD spectra. And the absolute configurations of chinoketides A (1) and B (2) were determined as 2R,3R,8S and 5R,6S by calculating their ECD spectra to compare with the experimental CD spectra. Finally, the antimicrobial activities were evaluated to Erwinia carotovora sub sp. Carotovora (Jones) Bersey et al, and the results showed that compounds 1 - 3 displayed the antimicrobial activities with MIC value at 20.5, 30.4 and $10.2{\mu}g/mL$.

  • Fish mortality is the most important success factor in aquaculture management. To analyze the effect of mortality considering biological and economic condition is a important problem in land-based aquaculture. This study is aimed to analyze the effect of mortality for duration of cultivation in land-based aquaculture. This study builds the mathematical model that finds the value of decision variable to minimize cost that sums up the water pool usage cost, sorting cost, fingerling cost and feeding cost under critical standing corp constraint. The proposed mathematical model involves many aspects, both biological and economical: (1) number of fingerlings (2) timing and number of batch splitting event, based on (3) fish growth rate, (4) mortality, and (5) several farming expense. Numerical simulation model presented here in. The objective of numerical simulation is to provide for decision makers to analyse and comprehend the proposed model. When extensive biological and cost data become available, the proposed model can be widely applied to yield more accurate results.
