Intraspecific fusion frequency between Filobasidium capsuligenum CBS6122-2 ade and met trp or met strains was $2.9\times 10^{-3}$ and $8.5\times 10^{-3}$, respectively. And intergeneric fusion frequency between Folobadidium capsuligenum CBS 4318 (cys his) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae 262-12-1 (hom3 thr1) or X2180-1A (ade thr) was $8.8\times 10^{-6}$ and $9.5\times 10^{-4}$, respectively. Nuclear fusion appears to occru in fusants between intraspecies and intergenera as strongly suggested by DNA content, nuclear staining, comparison of survival rate to UV light and mitotic segregation analysis. It was also found that $\alpha$-amylase and glucoamylase activity from intraspecific hybrids was 1.6-2.1 fold increased when compared with that from thier parents.

Biparental clones and recombinant clones were obtained by spheroplast fusion of Pseudomonas putida KU218R-3 and P.putida KU428. Formation of the fusion product was the most effective when the Pseudomonas spheroplast mixture were treated with 40% plyethyleneglycol(PEG) 6000 for 10min at room temperature, The fusants which selected by indirect method were obtained at an average frequency of 10.8%. Most of the fusants were biparental clones (10.4%) and the recombinant clones were produced in low yield (0.42%). Fusants, at the frequency of 4% were obtained without PEG 6000, which shows that fusion is not strictly dependant on PEG. The stability of fusants were examined. Most of the biparental clones were segregated to parental form amd late recombinants were formed on further propagation of biparental clone but the recombinant clones were nery stable.

Conditions for the release and regeneration of protoplasts form Rhizopus oryzae and intergeneric protoplast fusion between Rhizopus oryzae and Aspergillus oryzae were studied. High yields of protoplast fusion between Rhizopus oryzae and Aspergillus oxyzae were studied. High yield of protoplasts from young germilings of R. oryzae were obtained by using lytic enzymes containing chitosanase (3 mg/ml), chitinase (3 mg/ml) and Novozym 234 (5 mg/ml). 0.5M glucose was used as the osmotic stabilizer and optimum pH of buffer was determined to be pH 7.5-8.0. Under these conditions, protoplasts were formed after about 3-4 hrs incubation. Approximately, 1.0%-4.9% of these protoplasts were formed after about 3-4 hrs incubation. Approximately, 1.0%-4.9% of these protoplasts regenerated on solid medium with a soft agar overlay. We have also carried out protoplasts fusion between R. oryzae and A. oryzae and have succeeded in obtaining three types of intergeneric fusants. In these experiments, 35% PEG-4000 and 10 mM CaCl$_{2}$ were used as fsogenic agents, and auxotrophic properties were used as a genetic marker to select fusants. Complementation frequency be protoplasts fusion of A. oxyzae and R. oryzae was 4.4% * 10$^{-5}$ . The fusant strains of the first type were prototrophs showing an Aspergillus type morphology with dark-yellow sporulation, those of the second type were also Apergillus type morphology but showed no sporulation. And the strains of the third type stopped growing when fusion products grown on regeneration minimal medium were transferred to fresh minimal medium. The formation of fusion products was observed by fluorescent vital stains for complementary labelling of protoplats from R. oryzae and A. oryzae. Rhodamine 6G and fluorescein diacetate wer useful complementary vital stains of Rhizopus and Aspergillus protoplasts for visualization of requency and type (dicell, multicell) of fusion.

Conditions for production, fusion and reversion of protoplasts of Aspergillus niger were investigated, and an attempt was made to enhance fusion frequency. Auxotrophic mutants and morphological mutants were induced by U.V. irradiation $(9.9\;erg/mm^2,\;13min)$ on Aspergillus niger. Maximum yield of protoplasts was obtained from 21 hr cultured mycelia by using 1% driselase in 0.6 M KCl or 0.6 M $NH_4Cl$ as osmotic stabilizer. The optimal temperature for mycelium digestion was $30^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH was 6.0. Protoplasts produced at different digestion period showed heterogeneity in size and vacuole content. Maximal frequency of protoplasts reversion was obtained on 0.6 M KCl stabilized agar medium at pH 5.0. Reversion frequencies of protoplasts produced for 3 hr and 1 hr mycelial digestion were 8.0% and 15.3%, respectively. The optimal concentration of PEG(m.w. 6000) for protoplast fusion was 30%, and that of $CaCl_2$ was $1{\sim}50\;mM$. The optimal pH and period for the reaction of PEG solution were 8.0 and 10 minutes, respectively. Fusion frequencies between auxotrophic protoplasts produced for 3 hr-mycelial digestion were $0.06{\sim}0.42%$, and those for 1 hr-mycelial digestion were $0.09{\sim}0.54%$.

To establish basic techniques for protoplast fusion of Coriolus versicolor several factors affecting protoplast formation and regeneration were investigated. Protoplast isolation was at maximum with 2.5-day cultured mycelia of C. versicolor treated with the combination of two enzymes, Novozym 234 (10 mg/ml) and cellulase Onozuka R-10 (15 mg/ml), for 3-4.5 hours at $30^{\circ}C.$ As an osmotic stabilizer for stabilizing the protoplast, 0.6 M sucrose was the best for formation and regeneration of the protoplast from the mycelia of the fungus and the regeneration frequency was 3.48%. Protoplast fusion was made by a modified method of Peberdy using PEG (M.W. 4,000). The fusion frequency between two mutants of C. versicolor was 1.86% and the fusion products showed differences in growth rate and colony morphology.

Nowadays, noise and vibration phenomena of a disc brake system have been given various names that provide some definitions of sound and vibration emitted such as grind, grunt, moan, squeak, squeal, judder and wire brush. The most common and annoying noise of a disc brake system is squeal noise. It is defined as noise whose frequency content is 1 kHz and higher with excessively high and irrigating sound pressure levels. In this paper, the noise and vibration characteristics of a disc brake system have been investigated to develop the fusion-type friction material, which overcomes the low steel and non-asbestos organic friction materials. For the purpose, both experimental evaluation and complex eigenvalue analysis have been carried out.

In this paper, a new soft-fusion approach for multiple-receiver wireless communication systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, each individual receiver provides the central receiver with a confidence level rather than a binary decision. The confidence levels associated with the local receiver are modeled by means of soft-membership functions. The proposed approach can be applied to wireless digital communication systems, such as amplitude shift keying, frequency shift keying, phase shift keying, multi-carrier code division multiple access, and multiple inputs multiple outputs sensor networks. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and compared to the performance of the optimal diversity, majority voting, optimal partial decision, and selection diversity in case of binary noncoherent frequency shift keying on a Rayleigh faded additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is shown that the proposed approach achieves considerable performance improvement over optimal partial decision, majority voting, and selection diversity. It is also shown that the proposed approach achieves a performance comparable to the optimal diversity scheme.

This article presents a band-stop filter (BSF) by using a periodic structure property of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) embedded in a microstrip transmission line. The proposed BSF is designed with FSS unit cells modifying the cross-loop slots. The BSF is interpreted with an equivalent circuit model and a dispersion diagram. The center frequency (fo) of the BSF is 6.6GHz. Proposed filter increases the number of unit cell. As a result, 3dB bandwidth is wider and insertion loss is reduced. Also, Facbricated BSF exhibits uniplanar geometry, simple fabrication.

The optimum conditions of electric stimulation for electrofusion of protoplasts of petunia, carrot and soybean, and the effects of calcium, magnesium, protease, trypsin, triton X-100, concanavalin A, dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), glycerol monooleate and spermine on fusion frequency and/or viability of petunia protoplast were investigated. The optimum frequencies(Hz)-amplitudes(V/cm) of AC Pulse for protoplast pearl-chain formation were 10 kHz-20 V/cm and 1 MHz-60 V/cm for petunia, 100 kHz-40 V/cm and $1\;MHz-40{\sim}60\;V/cm$ for carrot, and $1\;MHz-40{\sim}80\;V/cm$ for soybean, respectively. The optimum condition of DC pulse treatment at the 1 MHz-60 V/cm-15sec treatment of AC for electrofusion of petunia protoplasts was 2.5 kV/cm-40 sec, and under this condition the fusion frequency and viability of protoplasts were 45 % and 10 %, respectively, Both of the protoplasts of carrot and soybean were not fused under the AC and DC conditions tested in this experiment. The electrofusion of petunia protoplasts was stimulated by calcium, and the fusion frequency and the viability of the protoplasts were 43 % and 11 % , respectively at the calcium concentration of 140 mM. Although fusion frequency was not affected by magnesium only, magnesium stimulated fusion frequency in the presence of calcium, and the viability and fusion frequency of petunia protoplasts were 45 % and 13 %, respectively, at 140 mM of magnesium-140 mM of calcium. The relative fusion frequencies of petunia protoplasts to the controls were increased by 2.4, 2.1, 1.6, 1.4, 1.8, 1.5 and 2.2 folds, respectively, by the treatments of protease, trypsin, triton X-100, concanavalin A, DMSO, glycerol monooleate, and spermine. The viabilities of petunia protoplasts were decreased by these substances.
