Synthesis of new active protein was investigated by heat-treatment and fermentation of kidney beans with Bacillus subtilis ATCC 51189. The amount of water-soluble protein in raw kidney bean (raw protein, RP) was greatly reduced by heating (heated protein, HP) and several new amino acids were synthesized by fermentation. The molecular weights of proteins determined by SDS-PAGE were 118 kDa for RP and a new band of 18.0 kDa For protein (fermented protein, FP) in kidney beans heated and fermented with B. subtilis ATCC 51189. Hemagglutinating activities of RP, HP and FP were 128 HU, 4 HU and 32 HU respectively. Both of RP and FP showed anticancer activity against stomach cancer cell line (SNU-1) at 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$g/mL and lymphocyte stimulating activity at 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, and stimulated PBMC to secrete IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-12. However, HP did not show any kinds of activities. Taken together, these results suggested that lectin in kidney beans was destroyed by heating, hut new active lectin-like Protein was derived by fermentation with B. subtilis ATCC 51189.

To investigate the effects of different type of dietary fat on survival metabolism of fasting rats, one group rats (FO) were fasted, another one group rats (BM) were fed normal diet and the others were fed only one of the following fat diets: beef tallow (FT), corn oil (FC), and perilla oil (FP) of 11.4g/kg respectively. Most FO group rats survived for 6 days and large part of the only-fat-diet groups rats survived for 16 days. Body weights of all rats in fasting and only-fat-groups, measured just one day prior to death owing to fasting or caloric malnutrition, decreased by 24.5%~25% only-fat to fasting rat somewhat extended the survival time but the specific properties of dietary fat types had no remarkably differential effect on survival time and body weight gain rate. The features of liver and kidney weight gain rate of all rats in fasting and only-fat-diet groups were similar to those of body weight gain rate. In FO groups blood levels of total-cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose markedly reduced whereas GPT activities and BUN levels considerably increased as compared to BM group. However the types of dietary fat perse did not affect blood total cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, BUN levels, and GPT activities in early stage of fasting in FC and FP group. GPT activities in rats of FP group just prior to death of starvation seemed to be affected by the dietary fat types. The results showed that only-fat-feeding to fasting rats somewhat extended survival time but the types of dietary fat had no remarkably differential effect on survival time and metabolism of fasting rats.

This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant activity of paprika in a lard model system. The effect of paprika (ground fresh paprika (FP) $3\%$, $50^{\circ}C$ far-infrared ray dried Paprika Powder (PP) $3\%$ and $5\%$) on the inhibition of lipid oxidation in lard was examined by pH, peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and fatty acid composition during 8 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. With paprika, POV and TBA values in lipid oxidation of lard were significantly lower than those of the control without paprika. Especially, in lard with FP $3\%$, there was hardly any change of lipid oxidation values such as POV, TBA values and destruction of unsaturated fatty acid inhibiting lipid oxidation. Heating of paprika during far-infrared ray drying decreased the inhibition effect on lipid oxidation in the lard model system probably due to loss of antioxidant substances, such as vitamin C, polyphenols and carotenoids including capsanthin, by heating. Therefore, FP containing a hish amount of antioxidant substance could be used as a good antioxidant in Pork Products containing large amounts of lard.

The previous studies found the importance of market orientation (MO), learning orientation (LO), and marketing capabilities (MC) in driving firm performance (FP), but respectively. This research attempted to integrate the rather separate research streams of MO, LO, and MC in explaining FP. How MO and LO, as two critical constructs of organizations' cultural values, affect FP was examined with the mediating role of MC (composed of marketing planning capability (MPC) and marketing implementation capability (MIC)). Specifically, we derived specific conceptualizations on the effects of LO on FP through MO, MPC, and MIC as well as the effect of MO on FP through MPC. Accordingly, we empirically tested a process of how LO, MO, and MC translate into FP, using survey data of 146 respondents from Korean companies. The results successfully supported our model. It is worth noting not only that LO and MO are found to have synergistic effects on FP through MC but also that LO fosters MO. The relevant implications of our findings are presented with limitations and further research directions.

The waveguide structure effects of a spot-size converter (SSe) of a $1.3\mu{m}$ FP(Fabry-Perot)-LD(Laser Diode) were investigated. Its coupling efficiency and alignment tolerance with a single-mode fiber (SMF) were carefully examined by using a 3dimensional BPM (Beam Propagation Method). It was shown that the fOlmation of enough length of straightened waveguide around the end of the sse region can substantially improve the optical coupling efficiency for a vertically tapered sse. In contrast, a down-taper structure for a laterally tapered sse has superior characteristics to an up-tapered one. We suggested good sse structures which can provide a high coupling efficiency as well as a large alignment tolerance with an .SMF. .SMF.

${\text\tiny{D}}-Allose$ is a potential medical sugar because it has anticancer, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and immunosuppressant activities. Allose production from fructose as a cheap substrate was performed by a one-pot reaction using Flavonifractor plautii ${\text\tiny{D}}-allulose$ 3-epimerase (FP-DAE) and Clostridium thermocellum ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (CT-RPI). The optimal reaction conditions for allose production were pH 7.5, $60^{\circ}C$, 0.1 g/l FP-DAE, 12 g/l CT-RPI, and 600 g/l fructose in the presence of 1 mM $Co^{2+}$. Under these optimized conditions, FP-DAE and CT-RPI produced 79 g/l allose for 2 h, with a conversion yield of 13%. This is the first biotransformation of fructose to allose by a two-enzyme system. The production of allose by a one-pot reaction using FP-DAE and CT-RPI was 1.3-fold higher than that by a two-step reaction using the two enzymes.

Fertility preservation (FP) is an effort to retain the fertility of cancer patients, and as an emerging discipline, it plays a central role in cancer care. Because of improvement in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, an increasingly large number of patients are surviving with cancer. FP specialists should make an effort to spread the significance of FP among reproductive women with cancer and provide appropriate education both for associated physicians and for cancer patients who wish to preserve their fertility. Physicians who take part in the initial diagnosis and management of cancer should consider the importance of early referral of young cancer patients to FP specialists and take care of those patients by providing timely information and appropriate counseling. Individualized treatment strategies should be delivered depending on the patient's situation with appropriate team approach.

This paper suggests the border based HSFI algorithm to hide sensitive frequent itemsets. Node formation of FP-Tree which is different from the previous one uses the border to minimize the impacts of nonsensitive frequent itemsets in hiding process, including the organization of sensitive and border information, and all transaction as well. As a result of applying HSFI algorithms, it is possible to be the example transaction database, by significantly reducing the lost items, it turns out that HSFI algorithm is more effective than the existing algorithm for maintaining the quality of more improved database.

Some of the wargame simulators currently used in the Korean Army were developed by other countries, and do not adequately reflect the Korean Peninsula terrain and weapon systems. This implies that these war game simulators need to be calibrated with respect to the input parameters for properly assessing the effectiveness of the Korean weapon systems. In this paper, AWAM, a wargame simulator, is calibrated in terms of the time-based fighting power(FP). The FP data obtained from the Korea Combat Training Center(KCTC) are used as a reference, and the differences between the AWAM and KCTC FP data are calculated at certain points in time. Then, the Taguchi robust design method is adopted using the probabilities of hitting for the K-2 rifle as controllable input parameters. Two performance characteristics are used. One is the difference between the AWAM and KCTC FP data and the other is the score derived by grouping the difference data. For each case, optimal settings of the probabilities of hitting are determined such that the mean of each characteristic is close to 0 with its dispersion being as small as possible.

Olivine structure of $LiFePO_4$ (LFP) is one of the most commonly used materials in aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries (ARLBs), and can store and release charge through the insertion/de-insertion of $Li^+$ between LFP and FP. We have fabricated LFP and LFP/FP electrodes on titanium paper and studied their electrochemical properties in 2 M $Li_2SO_4$. The LFP/FP electrode was determined to be a suitable electrode for electo-ostmotic pump (EOP) in terms of efficiency in water and 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution. Experiments to determine the effect of cations and anions on the performance of EOP using LFP/FP electrode have shown that $Li^+$ is the best cation and that the anion does not significantly affect the performance of the EOP. As the concentration of $Li_2SO_4$ solution was increased, the current increased. The flow rate peaked at $4.8{\mu}L/30s$ in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution and then decreased. When the EOP was tested continuously in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution, the EOP transported approximately 35 mL of fluid while maintaining a stable flow rate and current for 144 h.
