  • The cases of entrepreneurial universities who conduct enterprisers like activities are increasing continuously in these days. Entrepreneurial activities by universities include university enterprises establishment and management, direct and indirect investment, incubating startup businesses, and diverse university-industry cooperation. In this study, the roles and contributions of universities in the development of science parks are explored with a case of Zhongguancun in Beijing. In particular, the roles of four universities such as Peking, Tsinghua, Renmin, and Chinese Academy of Science were intensively focused and investigated. Interpretive case research methodology was adopted for this study and in-depth interview and secondary data analysis methods were used for the investigation. The result of this study suggests that universities can do essential roles in the development of science parks and can contribute to the development and growth of science parks through proactive and direct economic activities as well as traditional and defensive university-industry cooperation.

  • Among the new yeast strains which were isolated from soils by incubating in the xylan containing minimal medium at 3$0^{\circ}C$, one strain(XB-33) was finally selected by the results of extracellular xylanase production test. The characteristics of XB-33 was almost consistent with those of the Cryptococcus ater. The formation of xylanase activity was induced by xylan and repressed by xylose or glucose. The xylanase was partially purified from the culture supernatant with DEAE-Sephadex A5O chromatography. The enzyme had a pH optimum for activity at 5.0 and its stability range was pH 5-7. The temperature optimum was at 5$0^{\circ}C$, but the enzyme activity was greatly lost by heating at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes. The hydrolysis products from xylan by crude enzyme detected by TLC, were xylose and n series of higher oligosaccharides. The Km value of xylanase was 20 (mg/ml).

  • Effects of nitrogen containing herbicides, Asulam(methyl-(4-aminobenzenesulphonyl)-carbamate), dimetametryne (2-methyl-4-ethylamino-6-(1,2-dimethyl propylamino)-S-triazine) and linuron (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-metoxy-1-methyl urea) at rates of 0.5,2,4 mg/100g soil on urease activity were studied in urea added and unadded soil by incubating at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 80 days. The enzyme activity was somewhat suppressed by asulam and dimetametryne in soils treated with urea. Unlike the above results, the enzyme activity in soil treated with linuron was kept higher as compared with that in soil treated with urea only.

  • N-myc, a DNA sequence related to the oncogene c-myc, was found to be amplified in untreated primary neuroblastomas and the amplification appeared to be associated with advanced disease at diagnosis and rapid tumor progression. Synthetic peptides have been useful immunogens for generating antisera and monoclonal antibodies to a number of native proteins. In order to identify myc-related protein in the tumor cells, an antiserum against a synthetic hexapeptide (-Glu-Asp-Ile-Trp-Lys-Lys-), whose sequence corresponds to a part of the exon 2 of oncogene N-myc, was prepared by immunizing a rabbit with BSA-conjugated peptide. After ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity column chromatography, it appeared to be specific to the peptide. Strong nuclear staining in immunoperoxidase method using this serum was observed in both human promyeloid leukemic cell line, HL-60(containing high c-myc copy number), and human neuroblastoma cell line, LA-N-5 (containing high N-myc copy number), whereas LA351 (human lymphoid cell line) cells did not react with the serum. This reaction was completely abrogated by incubating the antiserum with soluble excess peptide. These data suggest that the protein encoded by N-myc could be localized in the nucleus as c-myc protein and this antiserum can be used to detect myc-related tumor cells in clinical samples and to determine if the N-myc expression correlates with genomic amplification in cell lines, untreated primary tumors, and untreated metastases.

  • ${\zeta}-Carotene$ was subjected to ozonolysis in ice-cold dichloromethane. The ozonolysis products were fractionated with a silica column and the carbonyl fraction was analyzed by ODS-HPLC with a photodiode array detector. ${\zeta}-Carotene$ was solubilized in toluene, and then oxidized by incubating at $37^{\circ}C$, 72 hr under atmospheric oxygen. Carbonyl compound and acidic compound were produced. In comparison with autoxidation and ozonolysis, each compound showed the same retention time and UV-vis spectra were identical to the reference cleavage products prepared by ozonolysis of ${\zeta}-carotene$. Absorption spectrum of acidic compound was similar to that of standard 4,5-didehydrogeranyl geranyl acid which is known to possess biological activity. Thus, eccentric cleavage of ${\zeta}-carotene$ was confirmed to occur in vitro under oxidation condition.

  • Fermentation characteristics of kwahaju (a typical Korean traditional alcoholic beverage) base were investigated during fermentation with different contents of nuruk (Korean-style bran koji) extract. The nuruk extract which was prepared by incubating the mixture of nuruk powder and water at $25^{\circ}C$ overnight and by filtering it was used to be 0.6%, 2.7%, 5% and 10% (v/v). Total and reducing sugar contents as well as acidity of the kwahaju base with 0.6% nuruk extract were higher than those with 2.7%, 5% and 10% at the fermentation end. Final pH values of all the base samples were ranged from 3.3 to 4.1. Alcohol concentrations of the base samples with 2.7%, 5% and 10% nuruk extract were higher than those with 0.6%. Microbial growth rate was great and inner temperature was high in the sample with high content of nuruk extract, but fermentation period was short. Total sugar consumption and alcohol production increased as the content of nuruk extract increased, but total acid production decreased. The base sample with 10% nuruk extract showed the most excellent fermentation efficiency. Fusel oil content of the base sample with 2.7% nuruk extract was the highest (457.3 ppm), and those wity 5% and 10% nuruk extract were 438.9 ppm and 442.6 ppm, respectively. The sample with 0.6% nuruk extract had the lowest content (409.5 ppm). Sensory evaluation of both the kwahaju base and kwahaju mix with 25% and 40% alcohol by adding soju (Korean distilled liquor) showed that the base with 2.7% nuruk extract had the highest score, and that the kwahaju mix with 25% alcohol had higher score than that with 40%. The sensory results on overall desirability were consistent to those on color and alcohol concentration, and it turned out that the two factors were important to make kwahaju.

  • The changes of ascorbic acid(AsA) and dehydroascorbic acid(DHAA) contents in distilled water, carrot juice, and carrot+vegetable juices under different incubation time and temperature were determined by using high performance liquid chromatography. AsA in carrot juice was more stable than that in distilled water. AsA contents in distilled water and carrot juice were gradually reduced in a time and temperature dependent manner. AsA contents in carrot juice and carrot+ vegetable juices stored in refrigerator(4$^{\circ}C$) for 2 and 24 hours appeared to decrease, but the DHAA contents in all samples increased. Total vitamin C(AsA+DHAA) contents in carrot juice and carrot +vegetable juices remained with the high residue values of 90~97% after incubating at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 2 and 24 hours.

  • A comparative experiment was conducted to compare the effects of persulfate with gamma radiation on the disinfection efficiencies against Escherichia coli K12. The microorganism used for the disinfection experiments were prepared by transferring a bacterial stock culture into a 50 ml nutrient broth an incubating for 24 hrs at $37^{\circ}C$. The initial concentration of the harvested culture was approximately $10^7$ to $10^9CFU\;ml^{-1}$. The culture solution was irradiated at different absorbed doses of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, and 1 kGy, respectively. The disinfection efficiency of persulfate with gamma radiation of 0.3 kGy against Escherichia coli K12 was 97.2% and while the gamma radiation only was 90.01% at 0.3 kGy. Therefore, it could be thought that addition of persulfate in the disinfection of Escherichia coli K12 can enhance the disinfection efficiency when it is used together with gamma radiation.

  • Lyophilized DOTMP kits were prepared using DOTMP, ammonium acetate, and ascorbic acid. The $^{68}Ga$-DOTMP was prepared by incubating the kit dissolved in 0.5 ml of concentrated $^{68}Ga$ using NaCl method and 0.5 ml of DDW, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 7 min. The labeling yield was evaluated by two solvent systems of TLC. 1 MBq of concentrated $^{68}Ga$ was labeled with $0.8{\mu}g$ of DOTMP by high radiolabeling yield (>98%), which was determined by two TLC methods. The composition of the prepared freeze-dried vial is $400{\mu}g$ of DOTMP, 19.27 mg of ammonium acetate and 17.62 mg of ascorbic acid. ~555 MBq of $^{68}Ga$-DOTMP was prepared with excellent radiochemical purity (>98%) and it was stable for 4 hr at room temperature. In conclusion, Freeze-dried DOTMP kits for the convenient preparation of $^{68}Ga$-DOTMP have been developed. Availability of this kit is expected to stimulate the widespread use of $^{68}Ga$-DOTMP in the fields of nuclear medicine.

  • A bifunctional glycoside hydrolase GH78 from the ascomycete Xylaria polymorpha (XpoGH78) possesses catalytic versatility towards both glycosides and esters, which may be advantageous for the efficient degradation of the plant cell-wall complex that contains both diverse sugar residues and esterified structures. The contribution of XpoGH78 to the conversion of lignocellulosic materials without any chemical pretreatment to release the water-soluble aromatic fragments, carbohydrates, and methanol was studied. The disintegrating effect of enzymatic lignocellulose treatment can be significantly improved by using different kinds of hydrolases and phenoloxidases. The considerable changes in low (3 kDa), medium (30 kDa), and high (> 200 kDa) aromatic fragments were observed after the treatment with XpoGH78 alone or with this potent cocktail. Synergistic conversion of rape straw also resulted in a release of 17.3 mg of total carbohydrates (e.g., arabinose, galactose, glucose, mannose, xylose) per gram of substrate after incubating for 72 h. Moreover, the treatment of rape straw with XpoGH78 led to a marginal methanol release of approximately 17 ㎍/g and improved to 270 ㎍/g by cooperation with the above accessory enzymes. In the case of beech wood conversion, the combined catalysis by XpoGH78 and laccase caused an effect comparable with that of fungal strain X. polymorpha in woody cultures concerning the liberation of aromatic lignocellulose fragments.
