To identify transcriptional markers for beef traits related to meat tenderness and moisture, we measured the transcriptome of the Longissimus dorsi skeletal muscle in 10 Korean native cattle (KNC). We analyzed the correlation between the beef transcriptome and measurements of four different beef traits, shear force (SF), water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), and loin eye area (LEA). We obtained non-overlapping and unique panels of genes showing strong correlations (${\mid}r{\mid}$ > 0.8) with SF, WHC, CL, and LEA, respectively. Functional studies of these genes indicated that SF was mainly related to energy metabolism, and LEA to rRNA processing. Interestingly, our data suggested that WHC is influenced by protein metabolism. Overall, the skeletal muscle transcriptome pointed to the importance of energy and protein metabolism in determining meat quality after the aging process. The panels of transcripts for beef traits may be useful for predicting meat tenderness and moisture.

This present paper describes 3 clinical cases which were treated with Bioprogressive mechanism. Each patient has shown a deficient maxilla combined with prognathic and steep mandible. The purpose of treatment was planned to obtain the forward growth of maxilla and redirectioning of mandibular growth. The most noteworthy approach in the treatment was the application of Cl III intermaxillary elastics with upper protraction utility arch immediately after rapid maxillary expansion. In the analysis of the data obtained from pre- and post treatment lateral cephalogram, the result achieved by this method is very favolable to the correction of anteroposterior relationship of maxilla and mandible.

Performance analysis of an absorption heat pump system for solar energy recovery has been done by computer simulation to find improved working pairs. Based on the thermodynamic analysis, the coefficient of performance and mass flow ratio have been calculated to compare two aqueous solutions [LiCl-water, $LiCi-CaCl_2-Zn(NO_3)_2$-water] which were developed for cooling by others, with the conventional LiBr-water solution. As a result of this analysis, the performances of the new aqueous solutions were found to be better than that of LiBr-water solution not only in cooling systems, but also in heating and in heat transformer systems. Their theoretical thermodynamic performance data were given here with.

Bimolecular substitution of $Cl^-$ at carbonyl carbon of $CH_3COCl$ has been investigated MO theoretically by calculating energy profiles (EHT) and electronic distribution (CNDO/2) for frontside and backside attacks at several distances of approach. Considerations of other experimental and MO data together with these calculations support the $S_N2-$retention mechanism for the substitution at carbonyl carbon.

The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of hexadecyl acrylate (HDA) was carried out in Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of CuSCN/Ν,Ν,Ν′,Ν"Ν"-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA). The results indicate that the polymerization is well-controlled: a linear increase of molecular weights occurs with respect to conversion and the polydispersities are relatively low. In particular, the use of CuSCN as the catalyst resulted in faster polymerization rates for hexadecyl acrylate than did those using either CuBr or CuCl; the polydis-persity, however, was larger than those obtained in the cases when CuBr and CuCl were used. In addition, we report the thermodynamic data and activation parameters for the solution ATRP of hexadecyl acrylate.

Magnesium is widely used as a lightweight alloy for car engine components and case of cellular phone. Extraction technologies of magnesium are divided to fused salt electrolysis process and thermal reduction process. In this study, electrolysis magnesium is prepared by fused salt electrolysis process with magnesium chloride. We compared two kinds of mixed salt at 7V. As a result, 47% of current efficiency was obtained by electrolyzing KCl/NaCl/$MgCl_2$ mixed salt bath at $760^{\circ}C$, and purity of the prepared magnesium was over 98%. With this study, we can scale up fused salt electrolysis device and accumulate basic data which will be needed for designing an electrolysis cell.

The electrode potential characteristics of a YSZ based membrane metal oxide electrode have been studied in molten LiCL at $700^{\circ}C$ by the potentiometric method. The electrode exhibited a good potential response to log[$O^2$] and data reproducibility. The calibration plot (potential vs. log[$O^2$] was found to be linear, obeying the Nernst equation. The electrode potential showed a good reversibility corresponding to increase/decrease of the oxide ion present in the molten LiCl. The physical and chemical durability appeared to be sound after several repeated uses, resulting in reproducible results. However, "the proposed electrode" failed when metallic Li was present in the melt.

Capsules containing NaCl-MgCl₂ salt with 316L stainless steel or alloy N samples were irradiated in the Ohio State University Research Reactor for 21 nonconsecutive hours. A custom irradiation vessel was designed for this purpose, and details on its design and construction are given. Stainless steel samples that were irradiated during exposure had less corrosive attack than samples exposed to the same conditions without irradiation. Alloy N samples showed no significant effect of irradiation. This work shows a method for conducting in-reactor irradiation-corrosion experiments in static molten salts and presents preliminary data showing that neutron irradiation may decelerate corrosion of alloys in molten chloride salts.

The polymeric species formed on the hydrolysis of Th(IV) from solubility experiments of $ThO_2$ in 0.1M $NaClO_4$ and $Th(OH)_4\;in\;0.5M\;NaClO_4$ were removed by ultrafiltration using 1 nm ultrafilters. The resultant equilibrium concentrations of mono-hydroxy Th(IV) species in solutions between pH 1.5 to 13 were measured by the NAA method. From these data solubility product of thorium dioxide and the stability constants of mono-hydroxy Th(Ⅳ) were determined. The values obtained were log $K_{sp}\;-\;50.76\;{\pm}\;0.08, log\;{\beta}_{1,1}\;12.42\;{\pm}\;0.02,\;log\;{\beta}_{1,2}\;22.46\;{\pm}\;0.15, log\;{\beta}_{1,3}\;34.36\;{\pm}\;0.07,\;log\;{\beta}_{1,4}\;42.58\;{\pm}\;0.08$, which are in good agreement with the values given in the literature. In addition, several dimeric species, $Th_2(OH)_2\;^{6+},\;Th_2(OH)_3\;^{5+} and\;Th_2(OH)_4\;^{4+}$ have been identified.

In order to obtain the basical data for utilization of protein in hazel nut, protein was extracted from defatted hazel nut meal with salt solutions and alkaline solutions, and precipitated by adjusting pH of extract to 5.5 or addition of organic solvents. Amino acid composition of the isolated protein and defatted hazel nut meal were analyzed, protein isolates were identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results summarized were as follows. 1. Defatted hazel nut showed highly nutritional value as the content of 'protein was 53.6%. 2. Extractabilities of salt-soluble protein treated with 2.5M $MgCl_2$, and 1M NaCl(pH 11.0) were 53.0%, 31.5%, respectively 3. Protein in hazel nut were contained 53% of salt-soluble globulin, 14% of water-soluble albumin, 29.5% of glutelin based on solubility. 4. At pH 5.5, 85% of the extracted protein was precipitated, and about 90% of the extracted protein was separated by addition of organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol at 60-70% concentration. 5. Proteins extracted from defatted hazel nut with water and 0.027N NaOH showed 3 and 6 hands by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, respectively. 6. Amino acids of defatted hazel nut and protein isolate were chiefly composed of glutamic acid, arginine and aspartic acid.
