  • The present study was conducted to determine the optimum in vitro culture condition for callus induction and plant regeneration from mature seeds of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon cv. Common). It was revealed that mature seeds cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.5 g/L proline, 0.5 g/L casamino acid and 3 g/L Gelrite under light condition produced the highest percentage of callus formation (39.2%). The most suitable medium for plant regeneration from dehydrated calli was MS agar medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 2 mg/L BA, 0.5 g/L proline, 0.5 g/L casamino acid 3 g/L Gelrite which induced the highest percentage of calli forming shoots (57.7%). The frequency of callus induction and plant regeneration were the highest on sucrose, followed by maltose. The shoots were rooted at the highest rate (100%) when transferred onto 1/2 MS medium. Regenerated plants were morphologically uniform with normal growth pattern.

  • The rh-BMP-4 is a subgroup of TGF-${\beta}$ superfamily. The application of rh-BMP in alveolar bony defect was reported to new alveolar bone and new cementum formation. For minimized complications following tooth replantation, a operator must replant a tooth fast at the pertinent position. This study was to evaluate the effect of rh-BMP-4 on periodontal regeneration and root resorption following tooth replantation in rats. The 50 Sprague-Dawley rats weighting about 130gm were used in this study. The animals were divided into three groups. Group 1 ; immediate replantation after extraction : Group 2 ; replantation stored teeth extraction of first molar, the removal of periodontal ligament with collagenase, and etching with citric acid : Group 3 ; replantation stored teeth with treated rh-BMP-4 in mesial root. Experimental animals were sacrificed 3, 7, 14 days after replantation by heart infusion. The maxillae were removed, fixed, demineralized, dehydrated, infiltrated and embedded with JB-4 mixture. For light microscopic observation, 5 micron sections were cut and stained with toluidine blue. The results of this study were as follows : 1. After experimental 3 days, all groups were observed dead space between periodontum and root. 2. After experimental 7 days, group 1 and group 3 were observed filling periodontal fibers between alveolar bone and root but group 2 were not. 3. After experimental 7 days, group 3 were observed appearance of attached cementoblast like cell on root surface. Group 1 were observed regular arrangement of fibroblasts and collagen fibers at ${\times}400$ observation. 4. After experimental 14 days, all group were observed filling periodontal fibers between alveolar bone and root. Group 1 were observed normal arrangement of periodontal fibers. Group 3 were observed less abnormal arrangement of periodontal fibers. Group 2 were not observed functional normal arrangement of periodontal fibers. 5. After experimental 14 days, group 2 and 3 were observed several root resorption and irregular root surface but group 1 were not. These results suggest that the rh-BMP-4 can stimulate cementogenesis and enhance to attach collagen fibers.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various salts on the physical and fermentative characteristics of doughs and on the quality of white pan breads produced using purified salt, Korean solar salt, Chinese solar salt, Mexican solar salt, washed and dehydrated salt, roasted salt, and bamboo salt. In farinogram patterns, dough prepared using the purified salt had the highest water absorption. Extensograms showed that the resistances and resistance/extensibility ratios of the doughs with the solar salts were higher than those with the purified salt. In amylograms, the dough with the bamboo salt had the highest viscosity value. A specific volume was the smallest in the bread with the Korean solar salt (4.11 mL/g), while the largest with the Mexican solar salt (4.85 mL/g). A baking loss rate of the bread prepared with the Korean solar salt (10.34%) was less compared to other samples (10.91 $\sim$ 11.65%). The crust of the bread added with the Korean solar salt showed higher L value and lower a value while its crumb showed the highest b value. A sensory evaluation indicated that significant differences in some characteristics of the breads were observed in the breads prepared with the Korean solar salt and Mexican solar salt. However, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability showed no significant differences among all breads prepared with different salts.

  • The positions of Xe atoms encapsulated in the molecular-dimensioned cavities of fully dehydrated Na-A have been determined. Na-A was exposed to 1050atm of xenon gas at 400 $^{\circ}C$ for seven days, followed by cooling at pressure to encapsulate Xe atoms. The resulting crystal structure of Na-A(7Xe) (a = 12.249(1) $\AA$, $R_1$ = 0.065, and $R_2$ = 0.066) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Pm3m at 21(1) $^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm. In the crystal structure of Na-A(7Xe), seven Xe atoms per unit cell are distributed over four crystallographically distinct positions: one Xe atom at Xe(1) lies at the center of the sodalite unit, two Xe atoms at Xe(4) are found opposite four-rings in the large cavity, and four Xe atoms, two at Xe(2) and others at Xe(3), respectively, occupy positions opposite and between eight- and six-rings in the large cavity. Relatively strong interactions of Xe atoms at Xe(2) and Xe(3) with $Na^+$ ions of four-, eight-, and six-rings are observed:Na(1)-Xe(2) = 3.09(6), Na(2)-Xe(3) = 3.11(2), and Na(3)-Xe(2) = 3.37(8) $\AA$. In each sodalite unit, one Xe atom is located at its center. In each large cavity, six Xe atoms are found, forming a distorted octahedral arrangement with four Xe atoms, at equatorial positions (each two at Xe(2) and Xe(3)) and the other two at axial positions (at Xe(4)). With various reasonable distances and angles, the existence of $(Xe)_6$ cluster is proposed (Xe(2)-Xe(3) = 4.78(6) and 4.94(7), Xe(2)-Xe(4) = 4.71(6) and 5.06(6), Xe(3)-Xe(4) = 4.11(3) and 5.32(4) $\AA$, Xe(2)-Xe(3)-Xe(2) = 93(1), Xe(3)-Xe(2)-Xe(3) = 87(1), Xe(2)-Xe(4)-Xe(2) = 91(4), Xe(2)-Xe(4)-Xe(3) = 55(2), 59(1), 61(1), and 68(1), and Xe(3)-Xe(4)-Xe(3) = 89($^{\circ}1$)). These arrangements of the encapsulated Xe atoms in the large cavity are stabilized by alternating dipoles induced on Xe(2), Xe(3), and Xe(4) by eight- and six-ring $Na^+$ ions as well as four-ring oxygens, respectively.

  • The positions of Kr atoms encapsulated in the molecular-dimensioned cavities of fully dehydrated zeolite A of unit-cell composition Cs3Na8HSi12Al12O48 (Cs3-A) have been determined. Cs3-A was exposed to 1025 atm of krypton gas at 400 $^{\circ}C$ for four days, followed by cooling at pressure to encapsulate Kr atoms. The resulting crystal structure of Cs3-A(6Kr) (a = $12.247(2)\AA$, R1 = 0.078, and R2 = 0.085) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm. In the crystal structure of Cs3-A(6Kr), six Kr atoms per unit cell are distributed over three crystallographically distinct positions: each unit cell contains one Kr atom at Kr(1) on a threefold axis in the sodalite unit, three at Kr(2) opposite four-rings in the large cavity, and two at Kr(3) on threefold axes in the large cavity. Relatively strong interactions of Kr atoms at Kr(1) and Kr(3) with Na+ ions of six-rings are observed: Na-Kr(1) = 3.6(1) $\AA$ and Na-Kr(3) = $3.08(5)\AA.$ In each sodalite unit, one Kr atom at Kr(1) was displaced $0.74\AA$ from the center of the sodalite unit toward a Na+ ion, where it can be polarized by the electrostatic field of the zeolite, avoiding the center of the sodalite unit which by symmetry has no electrostatic field. In each large cavity, five Kr atoms were found, forming a trigonal-bipyramid arrangement with three Kr(2) atoms at equatorial positions and two Kr(3) atoms at axial positions. With various reasonable distances and angles, the existence of Kr5 cluster was proposed (Kr(2)-Kr(3) = $4.78(6)\AA$ and Kr(2)-Kr(2) = $5.94(7)\AA$, Kr(2)-Kr(3)-Kr(2) = 76.9(3), Kr(3)-Kr(2)-Kr(3) = 88(1), and Kr(2)-Kr(2)-Kr(2) = $60^{\circ}).$ These arrangements of the encapsulated Kr atoms in the large cavity are stabilized by alternating dipoles induced on Kr(2) by four-ring oxygens and Kr(3) by six-ring Na+ ions, respectively.

  • Water treatment plant sludge occurred in sedimentation and inverse wash process is generally disposed by ocean dumping or reclamation after dehydration processing using mechanical or natural dry method. Recently, ocean dumping of sludge is limited actually by London Convention. Physical, chemical, and geotechnical characteristics of water treatment plant sludge were analyzed by experiments. The possibilities for recycling of the dehydration sludges as materials for covering sanitary landfill were examined. Experiments performed with sludges mixed with general soil to improved the sludge properties are the hydrometer analysis, the liquid and plastic limit test, the specific gravity test, the compaction test, and the unconfined compression test. The value of ${\gamma}_{dmax}$ is increased and OMC(Optimum Moisture Content) is lessened with mixed sludge. The value of maximum compressive strength and friction angle are increased and the cohesion is decreased with mixed sludge. The ratio between sludge and soil in mixed sludge was 3:7 and the strength of mixed sludge showed $3.6kg/cm^2$. These results satisfy the regulation of U.S. E.P.A regarding materials for covering sanitary landfill.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the changes in the fermentation characteristics of Kimchi prepared with various salts (Korean solar salt, Chinese solar salt, washed and dehydrated salt, purified salt and a processed salt). Acidity appeared to increase most rapidly in Kimchi prepared with Korean solar salt and reached higher level. Total microbial count slowly increased at the beginning of fermentation and reached maximum on 6 days, then decreased slowly. The number of lactic acid bacteria was rapidly increased up to $4{\sim}6$ days, and thereafter decreased slowly. In conclusion, any significant differences in fermentation characteristics analyzed was not observed in Kimchi prepared with various salts except acidity.

  • The crystal structures of fully dehydrated Ni2+- and Tl+ -exchanged zeolite X (Ni17Tl58-X, and Ni12Tl68-X; X=Si100Al92O384) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Fd3 at $21(1)^{\circ}C$ (a=24.380(4) $\AA$, 24.660(4) $\AA$, respectively). Their structures have been refined to the final error indices R1=0.037 and R2=0.043 with 485 reflections, and R1=0.039 and R2=0.040 with 306 reflections, respectively, for which I >36(I). In Ni17Tl58-X, 17 Ni2+ ions per unit cell were found at only two sites: 15 at site I at the center of the hexagonal prism (Ni-O=2.203(9) $\AA)$ and the remaining 2 at site II near single six-oxygen rings in the supercage (Ni-O=2.16(3) $\AA).$ Fifty-eight Tl+ ions were found at five crystallographic sites: 28 at site II (Tl-O=2.626(8) $\AA)$, 2 at site I' in the sodalite cavity near the hexagonal prism (Tl-O=2.85(1) $\AA)$, another 2 at site II' in the sodalite cavity (Tl-O=2.77(1) $\AA).$ The remaining 26 were found at two nonequivalent Ⅲ' sites with occupancies of 23 and 3. In Ni12Tl68-X, 12 Ni2+ ions per unit cell were found at two sites: 10 at site I (Ni-O=2.37(2) $\AA)$ and the remaining 2 at site II (Ni-O=2.13(2) $\AA).$ Sixty-eight Tl+ ions were found at five crystallographic sites: 28 at site II (Tl-O=2.63(1) $\AA)$, 12 at site I' (Tl-O=2.62(1) $\AA)$, 2 at site II' (Tl-O=3.01(2) $\AA)$, and the remaining 26 at two III' sites with occupancies of 23 and 3. It appears that Ni 2+ ions prefer to occupy site I and II, in that order. The large Tl+ ions occupy the remaining sites, I', II, II' and two different III' sites. In both crystals, only the Ni2+ ions at site II were reduced and migrated to the external surface of zeolite X when these crystals were treated with hydrogen gas.

  • We applied the partitioned waveform inversion to 2,026 event data recorded at 173 seismic stations from the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Data Managing Center and the Ocean Hemisphere network Project to estimate S-wave velocity and radial anisotropy models beneath the Western Pacific. In the Philippine Sea plate, high-Vs anomalies reach deeper in the West Philippine basin than in the Parece-Vela basin. Low-Vs anomalies found at 80 km below the Parece-Vela basin extend deeper into the West Philippine Basin. This velocity contrast between the basins may be caused by differences in lithospheric age. Low-Vs anomalies are observed beneath the Caroline seamount chain and the Caroline plate. Overall positive radial anisotropy anomalies are observed in the Western Pacific, but negative radial anisotropy is found at > 220 km depth on the subducting plate along the Mariana trench and at ~50 km in the Parece-Vela basin. Positive radial anisotropy is found at > 200 km depth beneath the Caroline seamount chain, which may indicate the 'drag' between the plume and the moving Pacific plate. High-Vs anomalies are found at 40 ~ 180 km depth beneath the Ontong-Java plateau, which may indicate the presence of unusually thick lithosphere due to underplating of dehydrated plume material.

  • This study has been described the metabolism and excretion in a healthy male urine collected for 26hrs after oral administration of diclofenac. To detect conjugated metabolites of diclofenac, urine sample was acid-hydrolyzed under the conditions of 6M-HCl at over $110^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. During the acidic hydrolysis process, diclofenac and its metabolites were converted into their corresponding lactam-ring through dehydration reaction. As results of chemical conversion by means of hydrolysis, the structures of diclofenac and its metabolites were also changed acidic to basic forms. However, lactam-ring was degraded by hydroxyl ion at basic condition. Thus, the extraction rate of dehydrated diclofenac and its metabolites was not favored at basic condition. For the determination of trace amounts of diclofenac and its metabolites in urine, trimethylsilylation (TMS) with MSTFA was applied and followed by analysis with gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. In this study, four metabolites that are formed by the hydroxylation of parent drug were mainly detected. Each metabolite was tentatively identified by both interpretation of mass spectra and comparison with previously reported results. In addition, time profile of urinary excretion rate for parent drugs and metabolites was studied. Finally, the metabolic pathway of diclofenac was suggested on the basis of the elucidation of its metabolites and excretion profiles.
