  • "Bija"(Torreya nut), a tree belonging to the Torreyaceae family, is cultivated in Jae Joo Do and Jun Ra Do, Korea. The seed of Torreya nucifera, which has been widely used as folkmedicine in the treatment of tapeworm infestation, was examined on the sterol composition determined by gas liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography on the preparative plates. Sterols were obtained from the nonsaponifiable matters of ether extract of the seed. It was noted that .betha.-sitosterol was the major sterol in the nut. The results showed that contents of sterols were campesterol 3.15-3.75%, stigmasterol 5.38-5.67%, $\beta$-sitosterol 85.61-86.28% and ${\delta}^{7}$-sterol 4.91-5.19% by gas liquid chromatography.

  • Sex preference and pregnancy motivation are analyzed using the data of 117 pregnant women in Chonju City. The results indicate that women prefer son, regardless of various sociodemographic variables such as pregnancy experience, number of children, women's education, occupation, income, religion, experience, number of children, women's education, occupation, income, religion, and men's education and occupation. Sex preference is statistically significant by women's marital status and age, and children's sex composition. The analysis on 19 pregnancy motivation items shows that pregnancy motivation differs by women's occupation, marital status, number of children, education and their partner's education. Factor analysis on pregnancy motivation items reveals six dimensions for all pregnancy: economic ability, value of child-care, psychological stability, family lineage, old economic dependency are statistically significant dimensions for son preference compared with daughter preference.

  • The recent change of social environment has influence on the configuration of space for the social welfare center. And so the relation of space and function required the change of spatial configuration. The social welfare center fills the role of family welfare, domiciliary care, community organization etc. In such sence, this study explore the conditions of spatial configuration for the domiciliary and community care unit of social welfare centers in small city. For this study, it was investigated the space role and funtion, the service program, the usage characteristics, the room satisfaction of social workers. In sum, the useful data were collected, analyzed, and colligated by case study. It could be used in the design criteria of domiciliary care unit for the social welfare center in small city.

  • A continuous linear operator T, on the space of entire functions in d variables, is PDE-preserving for a given set $\mathbb{P}\;\subseteq\;\mathbb{C}|\xi_{1},\ldots,\xi_{d}|$ of polynomials if it maps every kernel-set ker P(D), $P\;{\in}\;\mathbb{P}$, invariantly. It is clear that the set $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ of PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$ forms an algebra under composition. We study and link properties and structures on the operator side $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ versus the corresponding family $\mathbb{P}$ of polynomials. For our purposes, we introduce notions such as the PDE-preserving hull and basic sets for a given set $\mathbb{P}$ which, roughly, is the largest, respectively a minimal, collection of polynomials that generate all the PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$. We also describe PDE-preserving operators via a kernel theorem. We apply Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.

  • The purpose of the study was to find out the eating behavioral difference and various connected factors between boys and girls of middle school students. One hundred ninety boys and two hundred six girls. who were sampled from the third graders of middle school located in Seoul and Chungbuk were asked to lilt out the questionaires. The results are summerized as follows : The boys had a better morning appetite and lower rate of skipping breakfast than the girls had. The girls carried more home-prepared boxed lunches and kept the lunch time better than the boys did. On weekend lunch time became more irregular and students had snacks more often than on weekdays. The number of lunchbox sidedishes was significantly influenced by the family composition, number of siblings, schooling of parents, occupation of tile father, and mother's empolymemt status. The frequency of snacks was significantly influenced by schooling of parents.

  • A survey is offered of the present status of microaluminized propellants industrially used worldwide in most space applications, but new directions are also pointed out making profitable use of the nanoaluminized propellants currently tested in many laboratories. Different industrial- and research-type of solid rocket propellants, mainly but not only, of the well-known family oxidizer/Al/HTPB(oxidizer being AP, AN or a mixture of the two) were experimentally analyzed at the Space Propulsion Laboratory of Politecnico di Milano. In general, they feature the same nominal composition but implement different grain size distributions of the oxidizer or metal fuel. The basic properties of all formulations were compared to that of a standard propellant already certified for flight.

  • Bacterial endoribonuclease toxins belong to a protein family that inhibits bacterial growth by degrading mRNA or rRNA sequences. The toxin genes are organized in pairs with its cognate antitoxins in the chromosome and thus the activities of the toxins are antagonized by antitoxin proteins or RNAs during active translation. In response to a variety of cellular stresses, the endoribonuclease toxins appear to be released from antitoxin molecules via proteolytic cleavage of antitoxin proteins or preferential degradation of antitoxin RNAs and cleave a diverse range of mRNA or rRNA sequences in a sequence-specific or codon-specific manner, resulting in various biological phenomena such as antibiotic tolerance and persister cell formation. Given that substrate specificity of each endoribonuclease toxin is determined by its structure and the composition of active site residues, we summarize the biology, structure, and substrate specificity of the updated bacterial endoribonuclease toxins.

  • Although it has been confirmed that excessive body fat increases health risks and all-cause mortality, several epidemiological studies have reported that overweight or obesity in patients with chronic diseases and in older adults is advantageous with respect to mortality. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the biological basis of this obesity paradox. The marked heterogeneity of findings observed across studies and the possibility of systematic errors in these studies have cast doubt on the actual existence of the obesity paradox. However, the obesity paradox questioned the validity of body mass index as the best indicator for obesity in terms of predicting its comorbidities and urges clinicians to focus more on changes in body composition and related metabolic derangements, rather than body weight per se.

  • We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of endangered yellow-throated marten, Martes flavigula. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. flavigula is 16,555 bp in length. We identified 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNA, two ribosomal RNA, and one control region. The mitogenome is A+T rich, with a composition of 31.3% A, 28.7% C, 13.0% G, and 27.0% T. According to phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial complete genomes, Martes flavigula in the subgenus Charronia was clearly distinct from the subgenus Martes. This phylogeny of the genus Martes supports the conventional systematic treatment. The genetic and taxonomic analysis in this study provides necessary information for the future studies of yellow-throated marten and the Mustelidae family.

  • The Golovinomyces biocellatus complex is known to consist of powdery mildew from the Golovinomyces genus, associated with host plants from the Lamiaceae family. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have resolved the taxonomic composition of this complex, and Golovinomyces biocellatus sensu stricto is considered to be a pathogen of Glechoma species, globally. However, this paper presents a new finding of Golovinomyces salviae on Glechoma longituba, besides its original host species of Salvia. This information was inferred by molecular phylogenetic analyses from the multi-locus nucleotide sequence dataset of intergeneric spacer (IGS), internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit (LSU) of rDNA, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene. Further, the asexual morphology of this fungus is described and illustrated.
