Application of exogenous polyamines (PAs) reduced the paraquat (PQ)-induced cotyledon injuries in radish seedling plants with 1 mM spermidine (Spd) being the most effective protectant. PQ injury symptoms in the cotyledons, e.g., large accumulation of $H_2O_2$, and losses of fresh weight, chlorophyll, and proteins, were significantly alleviated. Likewise, analysis of $H_2O_2$-scavenging enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) showed that pretreatment with Spd among PAs remarkably increased total CAT activity and strongly retarded PQ-induced rapid decline in total GPX activity. In a native gel assay, one CAT isozyme (CAT1) and two GPX isozymes (GPX1 and a newly synthesized GPX isozyme) proved to be more responsible for PQ tolerance, as manifested by the strong increases in their activities by Spd pretreatment. Based on these results, we can suggest that PAs (especially 1 mM Spd) may function as antioxidant protectors by invoking CAT and GPX enzymes which control the endogenous $H_2O_2$ level in radish cotyledons exposed to PQ.

As the major methanol fueled vehicle exhaust components, formaldehyde & methanol conversion over the existing commercial 3-way catalyst was examined in a labolatory tains different Ag loadings on commercial 3-way catalyst, and german commercial catalysts for methanol engine exhaust manufactured by a commercial manufacturer. Silver catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation of silver nitrate solution on commercial 3-way catalyst. These catalysts were characterized with BET Surface area and pore size distribution. In general, the formaldehyde(HCHO) conversion of the tested catalysts was similar to that of methanol$(CH_3OH)$. At 100$^\circ$C, which is equivalent to the cold start condition, 5wt% Ag cat. showed the most excellent HCHO and $CH_3OH$ conversion. The order of activity for conversion of HCHO & $CH_3OH$ to carbon dioxide and water vapor was as follows ; 5wt% Ag/3-way cat.>2wt% Ag/3-way cat.>german cat. front(1) > german cat. rear(2) > 10wt% Ag/3-way cat.> commercial 3-wat catalyst. However there was no significant activity difference between those tested catalysts in the hot run condition of 400$^\circ$C. Therefore, it could be concluded that the Ag-modified 3-way catalyst was the most effective and practical catalyst system which could be capable of removal the HCHO and methanol at the special condition of low temperature such as cold start condition.

본 논문에서는 IBCA(Intermediate Boundary Cellular Automata)에 기반을 둔 여원 MLCA(Maximum Length Cellular Automata)와 2D CAT(Cellular Automata Transform)를 단계적으로 이용하여 영상을 암호화하는 방법을 제안한다. 암호화 방법은 먼저, 여원 MLCA를 이용하여 원 영상의 크기만큼 PN(pseudo noise) 수열을 생성한다. 그리고, 원 영상과 생성된 수열을 XOR 연산하여 여원 MLCA 영상으로 변환한다. 그 후, 게이트웨이 값을 설정하여 2D CAT 기저함수를 생성한다. 생성된 기저 함수를 변환된 여원 MLCA 영상에 곱하여 암호화를 한다. 마지막으로 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) 및 안정성 분석을 통하여 제안한 방법이 높은 암호화 수준의 성질을 가졌음을 검증한다.

Heptocvte-specific expression induced by Hepatitis B virus (HBV) enhancer 2-core gene promoter was examined in various hepatocyte and non-hepatocyte cell lines. using non-viral and retroviral vector systems in which chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) is used as a reporter. The non-viral plasmid containing the HBV enhancer 2-core promoter exhibited 22 and 66% of CAT activities in hepatoma cell lines. HepG2 and Hep3B, respectively when compared with CAT activity expressed by CMV promoter. The CAT activities, however. were found to be marginal in other tested hepatoma cell lines as well as mouse primary hepatocytes and non-hepatocytes. The HBV enhancer 2 located upstream the CMV promoter did not affect the CMV promoter activity nor provided hepatocyte-specific expression. Transfection of retroviral plasmid DNA containing the HBV enhancer 2-core promoter as an internal promoter exhibited high and specific CAT expression in HepG2 and Hep3B cell lines but the activity value was 5 to 10 fold lower than the non-viral plasmid with identical promoter. These results suggest that the usage of HBV enhancer 2-core promoter for liver specific expression is limited to certain vectors and hepatocyte cell lines.

The karyotype of Korean short-hair cat was presented using the G-, C- and NOR-banding techniques. For chromosomes preparation, the fetus skin fibroblast cells were cultured and metaphases were obtained. In results, the Korean short-hair cat had 38 chromosomes with XX or XY, which consisted of 5 pairs of metacentric chromosomes(Group A and C), 3 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes (Group B), 6 pairs of medium metacentric chromosomes except for 1 pair of medium submetacentric D2 chromosomes (Group D, E), 2 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes(Group F) and metacentric X and Y sex chromosomes. In G-banding analysis, the Korean short-hair cat exhibited a typical and identical G-banding pattern in each homologous chromosome. Total number of bands and landmarks on the G-banded chromosomes of Korean short-hair cat well correspond to those of international standardization of karyotype of domestic cat. The heterochromatins of Korean short-hair cat chromosomes distributed at terminal and/or centromere regions on almost chromosomes by C-banding analysis. In addition, the C-banding pattern showed greatly heteromorphic in some chromosomes. Using the AgNOR-staining, we found the nucleolar organizer regions(NORs) of Korean short-hair cat located at chromosomes 1p12 site in E group. The quantity and number of NORs were constant among cells.

PURPOSE: This study was to investigate the effects of resistance exercise on serum inflammatory markers and CatSper 1-4 expression in testis of OLETF rats. METHODS: Male OLETF rats were divided into two groups; control group (n=12), resistance exercise group (n=12). The exercise group performed a total of 8 weeks of moderate intensity resistance exercise on a 1.35 m vertical ladder with weights secured to their tails. RESULTS: The results of this study was following; The exercise group showed a significant decreased in the inflammatory ($IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$) levels as compared to the control group. But CRP was no significant difference between control and exercise groups. Also, CatSper 1 and 2 were significantly increased in the exercise group compared to the control group, whereas CatSper 3, 4 were no significant difference between both groups. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that resistance exercise training can contribute to reduce pro-inflammatory responses in whole body and it affects male reproductive function by improve sperm quality and CatSper protein expression.

본 연구에서는 매개변수 자동 보정기법인 PEST(Model-Independent Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Analysis)를 CAT 모형에 연계하여 유출특성 분석을 실시하였다. CAT-PEST 연계모형은 CAT 모형의 모의유출량을 이용하며 PEST의 반복계산을 통하여 최적 매개변수를 추정한다. 침투방법은 CAT에서 제공하는 Rainfall Excess 방법, Green and Ampt 방법 및 Horton 방법을 이용하였으며 각 침투방법에 따른 유출 특성을 비교 및 분석하였다. 연구대상유역은 보령 댐 유역으로 유역면적은 $163.7km^2$이며 전체면적의 약 80%가 산지로 구성되어 있고, 유로연장은 22.3km, 유역평균경사는 40.19%이다. 또한 보령댐 유역의 월평년값 평균기온은 -0.8에서 $25.5^{\circ}C$로 계절변동이 매우 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 최근 몇 년간 심각한 가뭄 피해를 입은 보령댐 유역은 2016년에 도수관로를 완공하여 이를 통해 금강으로부터 물을 끌어다 쓰고 있는 실정이며, CAT 모형에서는 금강도수유입량을 외부유입 처리하여 유출량을 산정하였다. 모의기간은 1999년부터 2017년까지이며 전체기간에 대한 보정 후 연도별 보정을 실시하였다. 통계적 평가수단은 $R^2$, RMSE 및 NSE를 사용하여 유역 최종출구점에서의 유출량과 비교하였으며 전체기간에 대한 보정결과 NSE와 $R^2$가 0.75 이상으로 나타나 대체적으로 모의 유출수문곡선이 관측 수문곡선과 유사한 양상을 보였다.

비교적 높은 역가의 glucose oxidase(GOD)와 catalase(CAT)를 세포의 효소로 생산하는 균주인 Penicillium spp., PS-8을 선별배지를 사용하여 액체 배양하였으며, 그 결과 배양액 1ml당 2.7units의 glucose oxidase와 2.0units의 catalase를 얻었다. Glucose oxidase와 catalase를 분리하기 위하여 $60{\sim}90%\;(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 분별침전을 행한후 DEAE-cellulose column을 사용하여 두 효소를 완전히 분리하였으며, 이들 효소의 회수율은 54%와 34%이었다. 분리된 glucose oxidase와 catalase는 PS-8 균주를 효소 고정 매개체로 하여 2.5% glutaraldehyde를 가교제로 12시간 동안 처리함으로써 효소를 고정시켰다. 이들 고정화 효소는 CAT/GOD 값이 서로 다르게 동시 고정, 고정후 혼합, glucose oxidase만의 고정 등의 형태로 만들었다. pH에 따른 효소의 활성변화에서는 동시고정 및 고정후 혼합 방법이 수용성 효소보다 안정화됨을 보여 주었으며, 동시 고정에서는 CAT/GOD값이 높을수록 보다 완만한 pH 활성곡선을 나타내었다. GOD와 CAT/GOD=10의 Km' 값은 각각 $7.1{\times}10^{-2}$ 및 $5.1{\times}10^{-2}M$이었으며, 이들의 활성화 에너지값은 각각 3.97 및 2.98 kcal/mole/deg이었다.

This paper proposes an architecture of a real-time EtherCAT master library called RtEML. The controls EtherCAT slaves under EtherCAT protocol in real-time. It provides a simple programming interface which is useful in developing robot application in C/C++ or C#. To achieve deterministic, hard real-time control in Microsoft Windows environment without additional hardware, INtime is used. Since INtime is designed specifically to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the x86 processor architecture, the proposed RtEML achieves microseconds of real-time performance.
