  • CD1d expressing dendritic cells (DCs) are good glyco-lipid antigen presenting cells for NKT cells. However, resting B cells are very weak stimulators for NKT cells. Although ${\alpha}$-galactosylceramide (${\alpha}$-GalCer) loaded B cells can activate NKT cells, it is not well defined whether B cells interfere NKT cell stimulating activity of DCs. Unexpectedly, we found in this study that B cells can promote Th1-skewed NKT cell response, which means a increased level of IFN-${\gamma}$ by NKT cells, concomitant with a decreased level of IL-4, in the circumstance of co-culture of DCs and B Cells. Remarkably, the response promoted by B cells was dependent on CD1d expression of B cells.

  • This thesis is 2nd thesis from "Mechanism of Intercalation Compounds in Graphite with Hydrogen sulfate(J. Korea Cer. Soc. Vol. 22. No.6, 1985). We have oxidized natural Graphite flakes(0.1~0.2mm., Kropfm hl passau in Deutchland. S40) with a solution of CrO3 in H2SO4. Whilst persulfate ions were intercalated, too, below 7$^{\circ}C$, no evidence for intercalation of a peroxo compound was found at 22$^{\circ}C$. The reaction was interrupted after various times by filtering and washing with concentrated H2SO4. X-ray diffraction showed that the 2nd stage compound had already been formed after 2 minutes. We could only follow further oxidation to the blue stage compound which was completed after 35 minutes. We have found six distinct intermediate stage between 2nd stage and 1 stage. Experiments are described on the formation of intermediate stage color and X-ray diffraction analysis.ysis.

  • Ganglioside GM3 and sialidase activities in human fetal liver have been investigated. Gangliosides were extracted from fetal livers by the Folch-Suzuki method and analyzed by high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). GM3 increased, but lactosylceramide (LacCer) decreased predominantly over the developmental stages. Sialidase in human fetal liver was mainly localized in the lysosomal fraction and its activity was high in the earlier stages of development. The optimum pH for this enzyme was 4.3~4.4. Sialidase was more active with the ganglioside mixture than with GM3, sialyllactose or fetuin. Fetal liver sialidase was still active (20% activity) in the presence of 25% methanol. These results suggested that the changes of the ganglioside GM3 and sialidase activity may be involved in the regulation of cell growth in human fetal liver during development.

  • This study investigate through the Balin-banchado in the Kookjangdogameuigue how the system of banchado ceremony exchanged during the middle late the Yi dynasty and in the period of introducing Wastern civilization The Balinbanchado is carry a coffin out of the house to the royal mausoleum. The characteristic in the general strucutre share banchado with rites of introduction rites of center and rites of finishing. Balin-banchado varies according to the objects and the times of a state funeral. In comparsion with Karaebanchado there are investigate the general structure cer-emonial arms and ceremonial costumes. The special feature of two banchado varies rites of center among rites of three. in the ceremonial arms aspect the characteristic of two ban-chado differ from the objects and the times. In the ceremonial costumes the peculiarity of two banchado can be divided into the guard costumes and the ceremonial arm costumes. The most formal attire of the guard costumes. were murning dress and yang-kwan-chobok and samo-danryeong In the ceremonial arm costumes the most outstanding was hongkun-hongeui baik-kun-baikeui in two banchado.

  • The trellis shaping is the method of selecting a minimum weight sequence from an equivalent class of possible transmitted sequences. It is perforemed by searching through the trellis diagram of a shaping convolutional code Cs. A shaping gain of the order of 1dB may be obtained with a simple 4-state shaping code. But when the rellis shaping is applied to multi-dimensional constellation, the shaping gain is decreased and the transmission delay is increased, which make it difficult to apply the trellis shaping to multi-dimensional constellation. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, the shell mapping algorithm is used for the mapper in the proposed trellis shaping. The simulatio result shows that the proposed trellis shaping is better than coventional trellis shaping to multi-dimensional constellation. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, the shell mapping on multi-dimensional costellation with respect to shaping gain and transmission delay. And the constellation expansion ratio (CER) and the capacity of transmitted injformation are identical to those of conventional trellis shaping on multi-dimensional constellation.

  • The inhibitory effect of ferulic acid and related phenolic compounds on the growth of normal cell lines and can­cer cell line was evaluated by the MTT and XTT methods. Ferulic acid decreased the cell viability of human skin melanoma cells by the MTT method and the cell adhesion activity of human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells by the XTT method. These results suggest that ferulic acid has a potential anticancer activity.

  • This study was conducted to determine effect of fruits removal on the CO2 exchange rates (CER) and growth of ginseng plant. Fruit of 2, 4 age plant removed at 7, May. The results of these investigations are as follows. 1. The net photosynthetic rates of the ginseng bearing fruits increased to a considerably greater degree than that of the ginseng without fruit in each ages. 2. The total dry matter per plant in bearing fruit (40.24g) had produced more dry matter than that of non-fruiting plant (38.13g) , but the root 4.y matter in fruiting plant (26.2g) had produced less dry matter than that of non-fruiting plant (27.1g) in 4 age. 3. The ginseng plant in bearing fruit did not influence the dry matter of stem and leaf. 4. The maximum RGR of root (17, June) was slower than that of fruit (4, June) .

  • Thirty sediment samples of the <63${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ fraction collected from the southwestern coast of Korea were analysed for their heavy metal (Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn and Pb) concentration. The results show that sediment texture plays a controlling role on the total metal concentrations and their spatial distribution. A single lM HCl extraction procedure was used in order to assess the environmental risk of heavy metals in bottom sediments. The non-residual fraction was the most abundant pool for Mn and Pb in most samples, which means that this metals are highly avaliable in these sediments. Cr, Ni, Fe, Co, Zn and Cu were mainly associated with the residual fraction, suggesting that their concentrations are controlled significantly by transport processes with the fine particles as carriers from diffuse pollution source. Concentration enrichment ratios(CER) were calculated from the non-residual contents and their values allowed us to classify the sediments according to their environmental risk.

  • The paper is reporting some comparisons between experimental and numerical results in terms of failure mode, failure time and ballistic properties of mild steel sheet. Several projectile shapes have been considered to take into account the stress triaxiality effect on the failure mode during impact, penetration and perforation. The initial and residual velocities as well as the failure time have been measured during the tests to estimate more physical quantities. It has to be noticed that the failure time was defined using a High Speed Camera (HSC). Thanks to it, the impact forces (average and maximum level), were analyzed using numerical simulations together with an analytical description coupled to experimental observations. The key point of the model is the consideration of a shape function to define the pulse loading during perforation.
