  • Subcellular distribution of arginase activity was measured in leaves of Canavalia lineata. Both mitochondrial and cytosolic fraction were found to contain the arginase activity. It was noticible that cytosolic fraction contained a substantial amount of arginase activity. Different mobility of arginase from these two fractions was showed on DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Also different pI value was showed 6.3 in cytosolic and 6.7, 7.1 in mitochondiral fraction on IEF gel electrophoresis. However, canavaine-dependent-activity (CDA) of arginase in these two fractions were not different. These results indicate that heterogenity of arginase occurs in leaves of C. lineata.

  • This paper examines the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on South Asian economies' output growth, utilizing recent panel cointegration testing and estimation techniques. Annual panel data on eight SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) member countries' macroeconomic variables over the period 1960- 2013 are employed in empirical analysis. Using various heterogeneous panel cointegration and panel causality tests, a bi-directional relationship between FDI and growth is found. We find evidence for both FDI-led growth and growth-induced FDI hypotheses for the South Asian economies over the sample period. Individual member countries exhibit heterogeneity in terms of the direction or existence of causality subject to their idiosyncratic economic conditions. Among various regressors, FDI, financial development, human capital, and government consumption show the most significant positive effects on output growth. As determinants of FDI, GDP, financial development, human capital, and government consumption are found significant in the region. The bi-directional causality between FDI and growth is found robust to the inclusion of other control variables and using different estimation techniques.

  • Recently, collaborative works are increased more and more over the distributed heterogeneous computing environments. The availability of high-speed wide-area networks has also enabled collaborative multimedia applications such as video conferencing, distributed interactive simulation and collaborative visualization. Distributed high performance computing and collaborative multimedia applications, it is extremely important to efficiently perform group communication over a heterogeneous network. Typical group communication patterns are broadcast and Multicast. Heuristic algorithms such as FEF, ECEF, look-ahead make up the message transmission tree for the broadcast and multicast over the distributed heterogeneous systems. But, there are some shortcomings because these select the optimal solution at each step, it may not be reached to the global optimum In this paper, we propose a new heuristic algerian that constructs tree for efficiently collective communication over the previous heterogeneous communication model which has heterogenity in both node and network. The previous heuristic algorithms my result in a locally optimal solution, so we present more reasonable and available criterion for choosing edge. Through the performance evaluation over the various communication cost, improved heuristic algorithm we proposed have less completion time than previous algorithms have, especially less time complexity than look-ahead approach.

  • As the multimedia information retrieval system is advanced, the study of multimedia information retrieval is changing the method of low-level content based image retrieval to the semantical concept based retrieval. in this paper, we apply the theory of ontology to overcome the conceptual heterogeneity in the annotation based image retrieval. And we solve the some problems that happen when the ontology apply. As a result of our study, we try to apply the domain ontology to settle the conceptual heterogenity. In the experimental result, we knew that the semantic distance among the words is pretty dose when we apply the domain ontology than the wordnet. And in this paper, we show the possibility of the semantic image retrieval as we apply the domain ontology in the annotation based image retrieval.

  • 전 세계적으로 기후변화로 인해 나타나는 이상기후의 영향을 고려하기 위해서 수문빈도해석분야에서는 비정상성 빈도해석에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 자료의 비정상성을 고려하여 빈도해석을 수행하는 방법은 다양하게 연구되어오고 있는데, 그중 시간에 따른 자료의 변화를 고려할 수 있도록 기존 모형의 매개변수에 시간을 고려할 수 있는 변수를 더하여 모형을 구축하는 기법이 비정상성 빈도해석기법으로 널리 활용되고 있다. 한편, 이러한 비정상성 가정에 관련한 연구들은 주로 지점빈도해석 기법을 중심으로 개발되어왔을 뿐, 아직 지역빈도해석기법을 대상으로 시도된 비정상성 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 지역빈도해석은 수문학적 동질지역이라는 가정을 바탕으로 표본의 확장을 통해 지점빈도해석보다 비교적 안정적인 빈도해석을 수행할 수 있는 기법으로 널리 알려져 있다. 따라서 지역빈도해석에서 수문학적 동질지역의 구분은 지역빈도해석 절차 중 가장 중요한 절차라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 수문학적 동질지역 구분을 위해서는 지점별로 가지고 있는 위치 정보나 수문 자료의 통계값과 같은 해당 지점을 대표할 수 있는 인자들이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 모의실험을 통해 경향성이 나타나는 가상의 지점 자료를 생성한 뒤, 지역구분을 통해 자료의 비정상성이 나타나는 지역의 지역구분 결과를 살펴보고 이질성 척도(heterogenity measure)를 산정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 비정상성 지역빈도해석에서 이질성 척도의 적용성을 검토하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 기후변화의 영향이 나타나는 수문학적 동질 및 비 동질지역의 분석 및 비정상성 지역빈도해석을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Immune responses associated with bacterial infection involve various inflammatory cells. Clinical symptoms and pathologic features are particularly influenced by the predominant cells Among inflammatory cells, T cells have the heterogenity. T cells may develop into the mature cells expressing the cell surface markers with different functions and T helper cells are categorized into Th1 and Th2 cells based on their different patterns of cytokine production. The objective of this study was to investigate the change of expression of surface markers on T cells and the Th1/Th2 immune response in pulpal inflammation associated with specific bacteria. We experimentally induced pulpal inflammation in rat incisors by drilling without coolant and innoculated with Streptococcus mutans (S.M. group), Porphyromonas endodontalis (P.E. group), or only sterile cotton (control group). After 1, 2, and 5 days, mandibular incisors were extracted and the pulp tissues were extirpated The expressions of IL-2 recepters (CD25) and ICAM-1 (CD54) on CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the pulps were determined using a flow cytometer, and the concentration of IL-2, IFN-$\gamma$ and IL-4 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results were as follows: 1 In the S.M. group, CD4+ cells were more increased at 2nd day than 1st day and in the P.E. group, CD8+ cells were more increased at 2nd day than 1st day. 2. The percentages of CD4+, CD4+25+ and CD4+54+ cells were decreased in the pulp tissues at 5th day after irritation in all groups. 3. The ratios of CD4+/CD8+, CD4+/CD4+25+ and CD4+/CD4+54+ in the pulps at 2nd day after irritation by P. endodontalis were significantly lower than the other groups. 4. The higher concentrations of IFN-$\gamma$ than IL-4 in the pulps at 2nd day after irritation by P. endodontalis showed that T helper 1 reaction were predominant in the early stage of the pulpal inflammation induced by P. endodontalis. 5. The higher concentrations of IL-4 than IFN-$\gamma$ in the pulps at 1st day and 5th day after irritation by S. mutans were measured but the differences were not significant.
