Soybean leaves, a Korean edible plant material, have been reported to prevent the development of osteoporosis and breast cancer. Based on this rational, soybean fallen leaves ethanolic extract (SBFL) was used for the experiment of cell invasion related to metastasis and antioxidant activity. The effect of SBFL on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in human fibrosarcoma cells, HT1080 as well as its anti-oxidant activity was investigated in this study. The effect of SBFL on scavenging activity of reactive oxygen species was evaluated in vitro using lipid peroxidation assay,DPPH radical and reducing power assay. SBFL showed the positive effects on antioxidant activity, compared with vitamin C and vitamin E used as positive controls. Furthermore, SBFL showed cytotoxicity above 16 µg/ml in MTT assay. In particular, it was found that SBFL decreased the activation of MMP-9 stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetae (PMA) and phenazine methosulfate (PMS). SBFL treatment increased the expression levels of p-FoxO-1 and SOD-1. Moreover, SBFL inhibited cell invasion stimulated by vascular endothelial growth Factor (VEGF). These results indicate that SBFL could inhibit cell invasion related to the activation of MMP-9 and oxidative stress, suggesting that it could be available as a main ingredient for prevention of metastasis.

This study examined the behavior of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) during the estrus period, breeding period, and mating including the estrus period along as well as the effect of environmental factors in an outdoor breeding facility. The average mating duration was 19.95 min (n = 13, range = 1.17-35.25 min). The breeding season was mainly early February (56.6%) for foxes aged more than one year and mid-March (60.0%) for foxes aged less than one year. The mating duration was longest when both male and female were more than one year old ($24.4{\pm}11.08min$), although copulation took place regardless of partner's age. Females that mated twice within two days after estrus started or with two males had 100% pregnancy rate. In addition, the pregnancy rate was highest (87%) when both mating partners were more than one year old. Foxes preferred daytime to nighttime for mating, and thus mating usually took place on sunny days or between 10:00 and 12:00 on partly cloudy days. A male mated with different females for a maximum of five times, and the higher the mating frequency of a male, the longer the mating duration. Interest in mating decreased after three copulations in the case of males and after two copulations in the case of females. Males required at least 4 hours and 46 minutes between the first and second copulation. For this study, we collected reference data that might be applied to breeding programs for the red fox to secure the restoration of individuals of this important species.

In this paper we proposed a modified reliability function for improving bimodal speaker identification(BSI) performance. The convectional reliability function, used by N. Fox[1], is extended by introducing an optimization factor. We evaluated the proposed method in BSI domain. A BSI system was implemented based on GMM and it was tested using VidTIMIT database. Through speaker identification experiments we verified the usefulness of our proposed method. The experiments showed the improved performance, i.e., the reduction of error rate by 39%.

In the present paper we derive the distribution of single order statistics, joint distribution of two order statistics and the distribution of product and quotient of two order statistics when the independent random variables are from continuous Kumaraswamy distribution. In particular the distribution of product and quotient of extreme order statistics and consecutive order statistics have also been obtained. The method used is based on Mellin transform and its inverse.

In balanced design of experiment sample size is determined to detect a certain standardized size of effect with power 1-$\beta$ at the level of significance $\alpha$. Tables (Marvin, et al (1970) and Lorenzen and Anderson(1993) and charts (Odeh and Fox(1991)) are available to determine the sample size in balanced design of experiments. To simplify those tables and charts simple MATLAB program is used to find the minimal standardized detectable difference $\delta$ when $\alpha , \beta$ and sample size are given.

현장에서 크레인에 대한 전문적인 지식을 얻는데는 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되고 있으며 전문가의 숫자가 한정되어 있어서 고장 발생시 전문가를 부르는데 시간이 많이 소요된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 깊은 전문지식 없이 크레인의 고장을 신속히 진단하고 조치방안을 제시하는 전문가 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발범위는 가장 빈번히 고장이 발생하는 전기 부문중 전동기와 브레이크로 범위르 국한시켰다. 우선 크레인의 전기 부문에서 일어나는 고장 원인과 증상을 분석하고, EXSYS라는 전문가 시스템 Shell을 사용해 Rule을 개발하였다. 또한 각 증상에 따른 조치방법을 작업자에게 가르쳐 주기 위하여 FoxPro를 사용하여 Instruction Data Base를 개발하였다.

Making use of the multidimensional fractional calculus operators introduced in [20], this paper gives the images under these operators of the celebrated Fox's H-function. Special cases are briefly point out, and some of the results are also studied on general spaces of functions $M_{\lambda}(R_{+}^n)$.

The aim of this paper is to obtain a solution of a certain multidimensional convolution integral equation of Fredholm type whose kernel involves a generalized polynomial set. A number of results follow as special cases from the main theorem by specifying the parameters of the generalized polynomial set.

Numerical study was conducted to simulate the heat transfer on the real launch vehicle base. Three different base temperatures were chosen, to simulate the heat accumulation on the base. Moreover, six different pressure ratio conditions were used to express the different air conditions. As a result, the table that can used to estimate the base heat fox along the base temperature and pressure condition was made.

In the present paper, we obtain a new formula for the generalized Weyl differintegral operator in a compact form avoiding the occurrence of infinite series and thus making it useful in applications. Our findings provide interesting generalizations and unifications of the results given by several authors and lying scattered in the literature.
