  • Bisphenol A (BPA) is a highly hazardous component to human since it is regarded as one of endocrine disruptors. For the analysis and/or removal of BPA, the searching for the specific ligand with a selective affinity to target BPA is required. In order to find the peptide moiety that specifically binds to BPA, the ultrasound-assisted biopanning was carried out with a phage-displayed peptide library expressing constrained heptamer. After six rounds of positive screening against BPA particles followed by the negative screening against the surface of eppendorf tube, the peptide sequence (CysLysSerLeuGluAsnSerTyrCys) with affinity to BPA was screened based on the order of frequency from the screened phage clones. To further verify the specificity of screened peptide sequence, the cross-binding affinity of the phage peptide toward BPA analogues such as Bisphenol S (BPS) and Bisphenol F (BPF) was also assessed, where the selected phage peptide showed a higher affinity to BPA over BPS and BPF.

  • The request of interrupt accompanies a context switching. If the interrupt is frequently requested, this overhead of context switching can reduce seriously the performance of embedded systems. In order to reduce processing overhead due to frequently requested communication interrupts at Asynchronous Serial Communication, this paper introduces the method of Expanded Asynchronous Serial Communication with the Interrupt Coalescence(IC) that accumulates a fixed number of interrupts and processes them in one time. we implement the existing Asynchronous Serial Communication that requests communication interrupts by one byte at an LN2440SBC embedded board with a uC/OS-II and compare interrupt processing time for the performance evaluation about proposed method. As a result, the communication interrupt processing time of proposed method appears in case of low speed(9,600 bps), the decline of an average 25.18% at transmission, the decline of an average 41.47% at reception. and in case of hight speed(115,200 bps), the decline of an average 16.67% at transmission, the decline of an average 25.61% at reception.

  • In this paper, a water tank experiment using Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) method for text transmission performance by water surface fluctuation is conducted. Water surface fluctuation and delay spread which affect the channel coherence bandwidth is a limiting factor in underwater acoustic communication. The amplitude fluctuation and delay spread the smooth surface and fluctuation surface, were identified. The effective delay spread of both cases are 5ms, 4ms corresponding to the coherence bandwidth of 200Hz, 250Hz, respectively. The bit error rate of BFSK modulated text transmission is about $10^{-4}$ in less than 200bps in smooth surface but less than 250bps in fluctuation surface. Therefore, this experiment shows that the water surface fluctuation is important factor determining the performance of the underwater acoustic transmission.

  • Objectives: We evaluated and recorded post-traumatic and postoperative neurosensory deficits of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in mandibular fracture in order to identify associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective cohort study composed of 60 patients treated for mandibular fracture. The primary study variable was the change between the post-traumatic IAN neurosensory examination score and the score after fracture reduction. Risk factors were categorized as demographic, anatomic, fracture displacement, and treatment. Appropriate descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed. Results: Sixty patients with unilateral mandibular fracture reported within 24 hours of injury were evaluated over a one-year period. A post-traumatic neurosensory deficit was observed in 52 patients (86.7%), the percentage of which was reduced to 23.3% over the follow-up period. Abnormal postoperative neurosensory scores were significantly higher in angle fracture cases (33.3%) compared to body fracture cases (11.1%). When recovered and non-recovered neurosensory scores were compared by fracture location, 88.9% of body fracture cases showed significant recovery compared to 66.7% of mandibular angle fracture cases. Cases with less than 5 mm fracture displacement showed statistically significantly higher neurosensory recovery scores (90.6%) compared to those with more than 5 mm fracture displacement (60.7%). Conclusion: Use of a miniplate with mono-cortical screws does not play a role in increasing IAN post-traumatic neurosensory deficit. Early management can reduce the chances of permanent neurosensory deficit. Mandibular fracture displacement of 5 mm or more and fracture location were found to be associated with an increased risk of post-traumatic IAN neurosensory score worsening.

  • In this paper, we compare the performance of three representative STBC schemes, Alamouti's, Tarokh's and quasi-orthogonal schemes under cellular mobile environments when they are applied to the OFDM system. We first study the encoding algorithms of the STBC schemes along with the development of adequate demodulation algorithms. The OFDM parameters are selected by considering the Wibro system and adequate modulation schemes are assigned for each STBC schemes according to the transmission rate from 2bps/Hz to 4bps/Hz. The STBC-OFDM systems employ Walsh orthogonal codes covered along the frequency domain in order to estimate the channel information for different transmit antennas. We finally compare the performance of the STBC-OFDM systems according to the transmission rate through computer simulations in various mobile channel environments.

  • Four separate pairs of oligonucleotide primers within the coding region in a T sergenti 33-kDa surface protein gene were selected to detect T. sergenti by PCR. The specificity of PCR-amplified DNA was examined by digestion with restriction enzyme 3nd Southern blot hybridization using T. sergenti p33 DNA probe. PCR appears to be specific for T. sergenti, without detectable signals from uninfected erythrocytes, uninfected bovine leukocytes and other hemoparasites, including A. morginnle and 3. ouata. Although 46 of 71 specimens (64.8%) from grazing cattle were microscopically positive. PCR in this study showed that 64 specimens (88.7%) were positive. Therefore, PCR proves a useful diagnostic tool for detecting T sergenti-infected cattle. In addition, it is also revealed that PCR was significantly more sensitive than traditional microscopic examination using Giemsa's stain.

  • In ebXML, a representative framework for electronic commerce, a BPS (Business Process Specification) should be finally defined as an instance of XML-version BPSS for the configuration of B2B (Business to Business) runtime systems . In order to define the instance more complete and consistent, it is required to validate all the semantic constraints on the instance . Due to the limitations of XML Schema constructs, however, current XML-version BPSS fails to specify formal semantic constraints completely. This paper presents how to find, express and reuse BPSS semantic constraints that could not be explicitly defined in the XML-version BPSS. The method facilitates the validation of XML-version BPSS instances easily with some useful guides for fixing violations of semantic constraints. Furthermore, B2B business processes can be standardized and applied more efficiently and effectively.

  • 4-Methyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo [2,2,2] octane 1-sulfide (BPS), 4-Methyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2,2,2] octane 1-oxide (BPO) and related monocyclic methylphosphates were prepared and the oxidation of BPS with MCPBA in chlorofrom or methanol was carried out to investigate the formation of reactive intermediates and reaction mechanism. BPO was the only product in chloroform while in methanol isomeric monocyclic methylphosphates were formed through opening of bicylic structure with subsequent phosphorylation of methanol by reactive intermediate formed in reaction. Formation of little amount of BPO was also observed. The structure of phosphorylating intermediate was probed with various spectroscopic methods and monocyclic methyl sulfenyl ester was suggested as a possible structure.
