In [9], Tyrtshnikov proposed a preconditioned approach to derive a general solution from a Toeplitz linear system. Furthermore, the process of selecting a preconditioner matrix from symmetric Toeplitz matrix, which has been used in previous studies, is introduced. This research introduces a new method for finding the preconditioner in a Toeplitz system. Also, through analyzing these preconditioners, it is derived that eigenvalues of a symmetric Toeplitz are very close to eigenvalues of a new preconditioner for T. It is shown that if the spectrum of the preconditioned system $C_0^{-1}T$ is clustered around 1, then the convergence rate of the preconditioned system is superlinear. From these results, it is determined to get the superliner at the convergence rate by our good preconditioner $C_0$. Moreover, an advantage is driven by increasing various applications i. e. image processing, signal processing, etc. in this study from the proposed preconditioners for Toeplitz matrices. Another characteristic, which this research holds, is that the preconditioner retains the properties of the Toeplitz matrix.

Various extracts of roots, stems, and leaves of Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian 'V3' were evaluated for total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity. The conjugate form of stem samples contained the highest total phenolics ($5.092{\pm}0.739mg$ gallic acid equivalent per g dry weight） and the highest total flavonoids ($2.218{\pm}0.021mg$ rutin equivalent per g dry weight) was found in the hexane extract of leaves. The ethyl acetate extract of roots showed the maximum antioxidant activity as compared to other extracts. Of which, the $IC_{50}$ value of this sample were 0.070 mg/mL and 0.450 mg/mL in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay and reducing power, respectively, while the lipid peroxidation inhibition (LPI) value was as 94.2% by ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching method. Five phenolic compounds including caffeic acid, syringic acid, vanillin, ellagic acid, and cinnamic acid were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It is suggested that roots of the hybrid Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian 'V3' can be explodited as an effective source of antioxidants.

This paper presents an UHF band(911 MHz) RFID tag antenna which has near-isotropic radiation pattern and easy conjugate impedance matching characteristics to any commercial chips of usual practice through the application of an inductively-coupled feeding. The proposed antenna of compact size $40{\times}46mm\;(0.12{\times}0.14{\lambda})$ has, at normal incidence, the maximum RCS of $-18.5dBm^2$ and the 3 dB RCS bandwidth of 9 MHz(1 %) in case of short chip load. It has the maximum and minimum RCS' of $-16.9dBm^2\;and\;-21.4dBm^2$ depending on the incident angles. The difference of about 4.5 dB is relatively small compared with that (about 70 dB) of a pure dipole antenna. The designed antenna has been fabricated and its RCS' have been measured varying the angles of incidence. The measured RCS' have been found to have good agreement with the simulated ones.

Three-hinge failure occurs in a jointed rock slope with a joint set parallel with slope and a conjugate joint set. Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) which are commonly used for slope design, are not suitable for evaluating stability against three-hinge failure, and this study performed parametric study to analyze the failure mechanism and to find influence factors causing three-hinge failure using UDEC which is a commercial two-dimensional DEM based numerical program. Numerical analyses were performed for various joint structural conditions and joint properties as well as ground water conditions. It was found that pore water pressure is the main factor triggering the three-hinge failure and the mode of failure depends on friction angle of basal joint and bedding joint set. The results obtained from this study can be used for adequate and economic footwall slope reinforcement design and construction.

Cytolethal distending toxin(CDT)은 세포 주기 중 G2에서 M 기로의 전환을 막아 세포의 증식을 억제할 수 있는 세균 단백 독소의 일종이다. 구강 미생물 중 유일하게 Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans)만이 이 CDT를 생성 할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. A. actinomycetemcomitans는 localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP)의 원인균으로 여겨지며 비 운동성의 그람 음성 구간균이고 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ 하에 성장이 왕성하다. A. actinomycetemcomitans의 CDT는 3개의 인접한 유전자인 cdtA, cdtB, cdtC에 의해 형성 되며 각각의 유전자에 대한 단백질의 기능은 아직 완전히 밝혀지지 않았다. 현재까지 연구에 의하면 cdtA는 CDT의 세포부착과 관련이 있는 것으로 여겨지며 이 유전자의 기능 이상 시 CDT의 독성 효과가 현저히 감소한다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 A. actinomycetemcomitans의 cdtA 유전자를 클로닝, 단백질 발현하여 향후 치주질환의 발병 과정에서 CdtA의 역할을 규명하고 질환의 예방 및 치료법에 도움을 주고자 하였다. A. actinomycetemcomitans Y4균주를 cdtA 유전자 클로닝을 위해 사용하였다. A. actinomycetemcomitans의 genomic DNA는 genomic DNA 추출 kit를 사용하여 분리하고 cdtA에 특이적인 primer를 이용하여 PCR을 통해 cdtA 유전자를 증폭하였다. 증폭된 cdtA 유전자를 T-vector에 클로닝 하였으며, 클로닝 된 cdtA 유전자는 단백질 발현을 위해 pRSET Avector에 서브클로닝 한 후 발현 균주인 BL21(DE3)를 이용하여 발현시켰다. 발현 후 Ni-NTA AP conjugate를 이용한 Western blot을 통해 pRSET-CDTA를 확인하였다.

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of a heat exchanger having rectangular pin-fin in the flow direction have been investigated numerically. On the bottom plate, the convective boundary conditions for the hot side was given, and the fins were arranged in a channel-type geometric model using the periodic boundary condition in the span-wise direction. Three-dimensional numerical calculations for the flow and conjugate heat transfer problem were conducted using SIMPLE algorithm and $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. For the slanted pin-fin models, it was found that the downward cooling flow is generated due to the downward pressure gradient component, which can enhance the heat transfer performance near the bottom surface and the fin stem region. Four different inclined angles were considered in the Reynolds number range of 13,500-55,000. The aero-thermal performance of the slanted pin-fin heat exchangers, such as the volume and area goodness factors, were summarized and compared with the baseline plate-fin type heat exchanger quantitatively.

$T_3-BSA\;and\;T_4-BSA$ conjugates were prepared and identified spectrophotometrically. The ${\lambda}max$ of the conjugates was just coincided with that of BSA, but the molar extinction coefficients of the conjugates were generally larger than that of BSA itself. The molar ratios of $T_3:\;BSA\;and\;T_4:\;BSA$ in the prepared conjugates were found to be 9:1 and 5:1, respectively. The titers of the $T_3$ antisera were generally higher (max. $1.5{\times}10^4:1$) than those of $T_3$ (max. $2{\times}10^3:1$), and the average cross reactivity of the $T_3$ antibody with $T_3$ was lower (0.45%) than that of $T_4$ antibody with $T_3(3{\sim}4%)$. The results of the study indicate that the predominant cause of the lower titers and the lower specificity of the $T_4$ antisera comparing with those of $T_3$ is mainly due to the unstability of the $T_4-BSA$ and consequent degradation of the conjugate to $T_3-BSA$ during preparation, purification, and even during immunization. The lower molar ratio of $T_4$ to BSA in the preparation stage is also considered to be a minor factor. By measuring $T_3,\;T_4$ levels in the reference control serum, it has been confirmed that the prepared antisera can sufficiently be utilized, respectively, in the established radioimmunoassay systems.

Mammal microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) can conjugate many toxic or carcinogenic substances and depress oxidative stress. In this study, Chicken MGST1 and its variants were cloned for the first time and were composed of 956 or 944 nucleotides. The 12 nt deletion in the exon 2 did not alter the GT-AG rule and the ORFs for the two MGST1 variants were the same, which both comprised 465 nucletides and encoded a peptide with 155 amino acids. It was found that the two different splice variants identified using RT-PCR expressed in all three organs investigated of Dwarf Brown Chicken, namely liver, spleen and shell gland. Moreover, the expression level of MGST1 mRNA in the liver of Dwarf Brown chickens was the highest (p<0.01), and there were no significant differences between the spleen and the shell gland. These results provide a base for studying the biological function of Chicken MGST1.

In general, a nonlinear system is linearized in the form of a multiplication of the 1st and 2nd order system. This paper reports a design method of a weighting matrix and control law of LQ control to move the double poles that have a Jordan block to a pair of complex conjugate poles. This method has the advantages of pole placement and the guarantee of stability, but this method cannot position the poles correctly, and the matrix is chosen using a trial and error method. Therefore, a relation function (𝜌, 𝜃) between the poles and the matrix was derived under the condition that the poles are the roots of the characteristic equation of the Hamiltonian system. In addition, the Pole's Moving-range was obtained under the condition that the state weighting matrix becomes a positive semi-definite matrix. This paper presents examples of how the matrix and control law is calculated.

Despite dynamical retinal image changes caused by pursuit eye movements, we usually perceive the stable spatial properties of the environment suite successfully Helmholtz and his followers have suggested that the visual system coordinates the retinal and extraretinal eye position information to represent the spatial properties of the environment. However. there have been a significant amount of researches showing that this kind of mechanism may not operate perfectly, and the pursuit eye movement employed in those researches were limited to conjugate eye movements. When an observer tracks an object moving away from the observer with his/her eyes. the two eyes rotate in opposite direction. and this kind of disjunctive eye movement may produce undesirable binocular disparities for the objects in the background. The present study examined whether the visual system compensated for the undesirable binocular disparities caused by disjunctive eye movements with extraretinal eye position information. Although the target object was presented frontoparellely to the subjects. the subjects reported that the object was slanted toward (or alway from) them in consistent with the undesirable binocular disparities produced by the disjunctive eye movements. These results imply that the visual system may not perfectly compensate for the undesirable binocular disparities with extraretinal eye position information.
