Three ciliate species, Frontonia schaefferi Bullington, 1939, Spathidium curiosum Foissner, 2016, and S. muscicola Kahl, 1930, were collected from freshwater and terrestrial habitats in Korea. Their morphology was investigated based on live observations and protargol impregnation. Frontonia schaefferi was characterized by a cell size of $89-112{\times}45-53{\mu}m$ (after protargol impregnation) and three vestibular kineties. Spathidium curiosum was characterized by a cell size of ca. $125{\times}25{\mu}m$ in vivo and the unusual shape of the extrusomes. Spathidium muscicola was characterized by a cell size of ca. $135{\times}40{\mu}m$ in vivo and four to six macronuclear nodules. These three species are new records for Korea.

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels comprise a diverse family of ion channels, the majority of which are calcium permeable and show sophisticated regulatory patterns in response to various environmental cues. Early studies led to the recognition of TRP channels as environmental and chemical sensors. Later studies revealed that TRP channels mediated the regulation of intracellular calcium. Mutations in TRP channel genes result in abnormal regulation of TRP channel function or expression, and interfere with normal spatial and temporal patterns of intracellular local Ca²⁺ distribution. The resulting dysregulation of multiple downstream effectors, depending on Ca²⁺ homeostasis, is associated with hallmarks of cancer pathophysiology, including enhanced proliferation, survival and invasion of cancer cells. These findings indicate that TRP channels affect multiple events that control cellular fate and play a key role in cancer progression. This review discusses the accumulating evidence supporting the role of TRP channels in tumorigenesis, with emphasis on prostate cancer.

$(Ba_{0.85}Ca_{0.15})(Ti_{0.9}Zr_{0.1})O_3$ + 0.04 wt% $CeO_2$ lead-free ceramics were synthesized by conventional sintering process and the effect of calcination temperature on microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. Improved piezoelectric properties have been observed at $1,125^{\circ}C$ calcination temperature which show the optimal electrical properties, $k_p$~0.457, $d_{33}$~367 pC/N, $Q_m$~158 and $T_c$~$85^{\circ}C$. These results show that the piezoelectric properties can be improved by appropriate calcination temperature.

We joined 19-multifilamentary (Bi, Pb)$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ Superconducting tapes and fabricated double-pancake coils by using resistive- and superconducting-joint methods. The joint resistance of the coils were characterized by the field decay technique and standard four-probe method. It was evaluated that joint resistance was 3.21$\times$10$^{-11}$ $\Omega$ in the superconducting-joint coil, which is approximately 4 orders of magnitude smaller than that in the resistive-joint coil (107$\times$10$^{-9}$ $\Omega$). The low value of joint resistance obtained by superconducting-joint is expected to be suitable for the practical applications in the persistent current mode.e.

Magnetic properties through controlled nucleation and crystallization wer studied for ferrimagnetic 40Fe2O3-20CaO-40SiO2 glass useful as thermoseeds for hyperthermia of tumor therapy. The maximum nucleation and crystal growth temperature are $700^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. The glass showed the maximum saturation magnetization of 168.4 emu/cm3 when nucleated $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and crystal grown at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs. The maximum coercive force was 390 Oe when uncleated $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and crystal grown at 975$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The variation of the saturation magnetization could be well quantitatively interpreted in terms of the volume fraction of the magnetite whereas that of the coercive forces could be explained only qual.itatively in terms of the particle size of the magnetite. Hysteresis losses showed the maximum value of 0.18W/cm3 when heat treated at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs pre-necleated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and temperature increase of 7K under AC magnetic field of 10 kOe and 10kHz.

The long terminal repeat (LTR) of retroviral DNA genome plays an important role in the integration process by providing substrate recognition site for viral integrase (IN). The dinucleotide CA near the 3'-end of the LTR termini is completely conserved among retoviruses. In order to study specificity of interaction between prototype foamy virus (PFV) IN and its U5 LTR DNA, the effect of mutagenesis of the CA sequence was investigated by studying reactivity of PFV IN to the mutant LTR substrates. Replacement of only the C or the A allowed 60 to 100% of the reactivity of the wild type LTR substrate. In addition, replacement of the C and the A showed 50 to 80% of the reactivity of the wild type LTR substrate, indicating that PFV IN has less specificity on the conserved CA sequence when it is compared to the other retroviral INs. Therefore it is suggested that PFV IN is less dependent on the conserved sequence of LTR termini for its enzymatic reaction.

The (Sr$_{1-x}$ .Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_{3}$(0.05.leq.x.leq.0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[.deg. C] in a reducing atmosphere (N$_{2}$ gas). After being fired in a reducing atmosphere, metal oxides, CuO, was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. They were annealed at 1100[.deg. C] for 2 hours. The 2nd phase formed by thermal diffusing from the surface lead to a very high apparent dielectric constant. The results of the capacitance-valtage measurements indicated that the grain boundary was composed of the continuous insulating layers. The capacitance is almost unchanged below about 20[V], but decreased slowly over 20[V]. The conduction mechanism of the specimens observed in the temperature range of 25~125[.deg. C], and is divided into three regions having different mechanism as the current increased: the region I below 200[V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region II between 200[V/cm] and 2000[V/cm] can be explained by the Poole-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III above 2000[V/cm] is dominated by the tunneling effect.ct.

We manufactured Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 (CT-LA) ceramic composites and investigated dielectric properties to use as embedded capacitor in printed circuit boards and replace LTCC substrate. The dielectric properties of these composites are varied with volume fraction of CT-LA and ratios of CT/LA. Dielectric constants are in the range of 3~15. In addition, we could get low TCC and High Q value that could not achieve in other ceramic-polymer composites. Especially, in composite with x=0.01 and 30 vol% CT-LA, the dieletric constant and Q-value are 10 and 200, respectively. And more TCC is $-28{\sim}300ppm/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $-55{\sim}125^{\circ}C$. We think that this composites can be used high-Q substrate material like LTCC and embedded temperature compensation capacitor in printed circuit boards.

The (Sr$_{1-x}$ .Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_{3}$+0.6[mol%]Nb$_{2}$O$_{5}$ (0.05.leq.x.leq.0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[.deg. C] in a reducing atmosphere(N$_{2}$ gas). Metal oxides, CuO, was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. They were annealed at 1100 [.deg. C] for 2 hours. The 2nd phase formed by thermal diffusing from the surface lead to a very high apparent dielectric constant. According to increase of the frequency as a functional of temperature, all specimens used in this study showed the dielectric relaxation, and the relaxation frequency was above 106 [Hz], it move to low frequency with increasing resistivity of grain. The specimens showed three kinds of conduction mechanisms in the temperature range 25-125 [.deg. C] as the current increased: the region I below 200 [V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region rt between 200 [V/cm] and 2000 [V/cm] can be explained by the Poole-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III above 2000 [V/cm] is dominated by the tunneling effect.fect.
