In this paper, we propose the image encryption using LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register) and 2D CAT(Two-Dimensional Cellular Automata Transform). First, a LFSR is used to create a PN(pseudo noise) sequence, which is identical to the size of the original image. Then, the created sequence goes through a XOR operation with the original image to convert the original image. Next, the gateway value is set to produce a 2D CAT basis function. Using the created basis function, multiplication is done with the converted original image to process 2D CAT image encipherment. Lastly, the stability analysis verifies that the proposed method holds a high encryption quality status.

Support for the precise time synchronization of EtherCAT, known as distributed clock (DC), enables the design of highly synchronized operations in distributed real-time systems. This study evaluates the performance of the EtherCAT DC through extensive experiments in a real automation system. We constructed an EtherCAT control system using Xenomai and IgH EtherCAT stack, and analyzed the clock deviation for different devices in the network. The results of the evaluation revealed that the accuracy of the synchronized clock is affected by several factors such as the number of slave devices, period of drift compensation, and type of system time base. In particular, we found that careful decision regarding the system time base is required because it has a fundamental effect on the master operation, which results in significantly different performance characteristics.

The co-immobilization of Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase (GOD) with bovine liver catalase (CAT) onto florisil (magnesium silicate-based porous carrier) was investigated to improve the catalytic efficiency of GOD against $H_2O2$ inactivation. The effect of the amount of bound CAT on the GOD activity was also studied for 12 different initial combinations of GOD and CAT, using simultaneous and sequential coupling. The sequentially co-immobilized GOD-CAT showed a higher efficiency than the simultaneously co-immobilized GOD-CAT in terms of the GOD activity and economic costs. The highest activity was shown by the sequentially co-immobilized GOD-CAT when the initial amounts of GOD and CAT were 10 mg and 5 mg per gram of carrier. The optimum pH, buffer concentration, and temperature for GOD activity for the same co-immobilized GOD-CAT sample were then determined as pH 6.5, 50 mM, and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. When compared with the individually immobilized GOD, the catalytic activity of the co-immobilized GOD-CAT was 70% higher, plus the reusability was more than two-fold. The storage stability of the co-immobilized GOD-CAT was also found to be higher than that of the free form at both $5^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$. The increased GOD activity and reusability resulting from the co-immobilization process may have been due to CAT protecting GOD from inactivation by $H_2O2$ and supplying additional $O_2$ to the reaction system.

The cats gene encodes the major catalase in Sreptomyces coelicolor, whose production increases upon H$_2$O$_2$treatment. Besides the previously identified primary promoter (catApl), a minor promoter (catAp2) was newly assigned by S1 nuclease mapping. The catAp2 transcript was observed transiently upon entry into the stationary phase in liquid culture and upon differentiation on solid plates, whereas the level of catApl transcription did not chance significantly during this growth transition. ThecatApl promoter was transcribed by the major vegetative RNA polymerase holoenzyme containing $\sigma$$\^$HrdB/, whereas the catAp2 was transcribed in vitro by the holoenzyme containing $\sigma$$\^$R/ that is activated under oxidative conditions. The cia-element regulating the H$_2$O$_2$-inducibility of catApl was identified within the 23 bp inverted repeat sequence located between -65 and -43 of the catApl promoter. We roamed this sequence HRE (H$_2$O$_2$-responsive Element). The distal half of the inverted repeat was more crucial for H$_2$O$_2$-dependent induction of the catApl transcript than the proximal half. HRE most likely serves as a binding site for the H$_2$O$_2$-responsive repressor CatR.

The catalase phenotypes and the gene frequencies in erythrocyte of 223 Cheju native horses were studied by starch gel electrophoresis. The results obtained were as follows: 1. In the catalase phenotypes, three phenotypes, CatF, CatM and CatS, which were controlled by two allelic genes, $Cat^F$ and $Cat^S$, were observed and their frequencies of appearance were 24.21%, 47.53%, and 28.25% respectively. 2. The distribution of gene frequency was calculated as 0.480 in $Cat^F$ and 0.520 in $Cat^S$.

A 3.5kg, 3-year-old castrated male Japanese domestic cat withpelvic limb ataxia and dysuria was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. On the neurologic examination findings, both pelivic had a LMN paresis. The cat was FeLV positive and FIV negative. Radiographic findings did not identify the spinal lesions. In magnetic resonance images(MRI) of the lumbar spinal cord, the cat had the lesions in the lumbar(L) 1 and L3, characterized by hyperintensity on a transverse T2-weighted and T1-weighted images, and contrast enhancement was evident. The mass removed by dorsal laminectomy. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed spinal lymphoma. Three weeks after the surgery, the cat administered chemotherapy protocol for lymphoma by current protocol. Two weeks after chemotherapy, the cat had a metastasis to bone marrow and died.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify influencing factors of using numbers and period of complementary and alternative therapy (CAT) among chronic patients. Methods: The study employed a descriptive design. The participants were 221 chronic patients. Data were collected in a pharmacy near a general hospital from April to July, 2008. Results: Influencing factors on using number of CAT were age, numbers of disease, period of used CAT and monthly expenses on CAT (the ability to explain, 79.9%). Influencing factors on using period of CAT were the period of illness and using number of CAT (the ability to explain, 44.9%). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that chronic patients need counseling and guides about using CAT especially for those are older and have many kinds and longer period of diseases.

To investigate the mechanism of the regulation of cytochrome P450IAl, the 5'-flanking region of a trout cytochrome P4501Al was cloned into the CAT basic expression vector at HindⅢ site. This trout Cytochrome P450IAl upstream DNA containing CAT construct was transfected into Hepa-1 cells .3MC treatment to hepa I cells transfected with trout P450IAl-CAT construct increased CAT protein and mRNA by 2.81 fold when it was compared with that of control. This increase CAT protein and mRNA was decreased by concomitantly treated flavonoids and aminopyrine. The level of CAT protein was 29.2-58.0% of 3MC stimulated CAT protein.

We employed dual color Fluorescence Cross Correlation Spectroscopy (FCCS) to measure the interaction between PKA regulatory (RII) and catalytic subunits (CAT) in living cells. Elevation of intracellular cAMP with forskolin decreased the cross-correlation amplitude between RFP-fused RII (RII -mRFP) and GFP-fused CAT (CAT-EGFP) by 50%, indicating that cAMP elevation leads to dissociation of RII-CAT complexes. Moreover, diffusion coefficient analysis showed that the diffusion rate of CAT-EGFP was significantly increased, suggesting that the decreased RII-CAT association caused by cAMP generated free CAT subunits. Our study demonstrates that in vivo FCCS measurements and their quantitative analysis permit one not only to directly quantify protein-protein interactions but also to estimate changes in the intracellular cAMP concentration.

The nucleotide sequence of Xbal-Mbol fragment of pKH7, a chloramphenicol-resistant($Cm^{r}$) plasmid isolated from multidrug-resistant S. aureus SA2, has been determined. Xbal-Mbol fragment of pKH7 was found to contain two ORFs. One ORF encoded Rap and the other encoded CAT protein. The deduced amino acid sequences of Rep and CAT of pKH7 were compared to those of pUB112 and pC221. Comparisons revealed that there was one amino acid difference in CAT between pKH7 and pUB112. CAT of pKH7 exhibited 98.6% amino acid identity to that of pC221. In case of Rep proteins, a slightly lower homology of 96.4% and 86.7% in amino acid sequences was observed between pKH7 and pUB112 and between pKH7 and pC221, respectively.
