  • A captive mute swan (Cygnus olor) in the brooding period was found dead without any specific signs. On necropsy, the entire digestive tract was severely necrotized with loosely adherent pseudomembranes, and Clostridium perfringens (CP) colonies isolated from the intestinal contents were identified as CP type A by polymerase chain reaction. Microscopically, the intestine and the liver were necrotized and intralesional bacterial clusters were observed. In this case, there were no other mortalities, so the condition of a single bird, in particular, stress from incubation effort, could act as the predisposing factor for necrotic enteritis. In this study, we report a unique case of necrotic enteritis associated with incubation in a captive mute swan.

  • This paper discussed the application process of the Dot Idea program. The Dot Idea program is an incubation and open innovation program co-created by Unitec, an incubator at Tecnosinos Tech Park, and an SAP innovation team. The main objective of this study was to cover an existing gap in the literature regarding the practical application of an open innovation methodology. Many companies seek interaction with external parties to enable advancement toward identified innovation opportunities. Technology clusters, parks, and incubators have played an important role in promoting connections and interaction. Consequently, the Dot Idea program emerged as a result of a joint effort to create a program using a design science research methodology aiming to foster new businesses and strengthen Brazil and Latin America as a hub to develop new solutions for traditional organizations. In regards to lessons learned, the Dot.health trial had some success but also experienced difficulties; these related to the relationships between startups and a hospital's internal teams, and startups' needs to be funded from the beginning in order to be fully dedicated to a project.

  • Reproductive effort and spawning frequency of the two palaemonid prawns, Exopalaemon modestus and Palaemon gravieri, were investigated. In both embryos of the two species, egg size was larger in E. modestus than in P. gravien but for a given size, number of eggs (EN) was fewer in E. modestus. The statistical results revealed that there were significant differences in egg size and EN between the two species. E. modestus living in freshwater environments had larger and fewer offspring than P. gravieri inhabiting marine environments. These findings are consistent with predictions from r- and K-selections models. Reproductive effort (RE) also was higher in E. modestus, suggesting the possibility for E. modestus to invest larger amount of energy per individual offspring. In the two prawns the ovarian dry weight of females with eyed eggs was significantly higher than those with non-eyed eggs. This indicates that the ovarian maturation occurs during the period between the two embryonic stages, suggesting females being potentially of continuous breeding within a single reproductive period. In the both species brood loss did not occur during the incubation period.

  • Mating behaviour of the gammarid amphipod, Hyale rubra, was observed. H. rubra displayed precopulatory mate guarding: males clasped females with their gnathopods during copulation, forming a pair. Males also participated in embryo care during the incubation period. The population was small, and the sex ratio was almost equal. Energy allocation for mating effort and parental effort in the two sexes appear to be almost equal. The mating system was sequentially polygamous (or promiscuous) and there was conspicuous sexual dimorphism in the size of the gnathopod, which was used for mate guarding. However, there appears to be relatively weak sexual competition for mating opportunities despite conspicuous sexual dimorphism. H. rubra did not display territorial competition or external fertilization. Nevertheless, the male provided paternal care. Since H. rubra inhabit tide pools and live on algae, the polygamous mating system of the species can be explained by the polygyny threshold model. The evolution of mate guarding and parental care may have been favored by the species' low population density and harsh environments, an interpretation consistent with the optimality model.

  • Effect of mannose on auxin-induced ethylene production in corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles was studied. Auxin induced ethylene production decreased in proportion to mannose concentrations. The inhibitory effect of mannose appeared after 2 h of incubation. Ethylene production was significantly depressed by mannose at high concentration (10-5M-10-4M) of indole acetic acid (IAA), but not at low concentrations (10-8M-10-6M). The inhibition of auxin-induced ethylene production by mannose was specific, since other sugars such as galactose, glucose, sucrose and mannitol did not have an inhibitory effect. In an effort to elucidate mechanisms of mannose the effect on the auxin induced ethylene production, effect of the sugar on ACC synthase activity and ACC induced ethylene production was studied. Mannose failed to inhibit ACC mediated ethylene production, but decreased both the ACC content and ACC synthase activity in the tissue. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of mannose on auxin induced ethylene production results from suppression of auxin induction of ACC synthase.

  • Acetolactate Synthase(ALS)는 가지를 가진 아미노산 valine, leucine, isoleucine의 생합성 과정에서 공통적으로 작용하는 효소이다. ALS는 서로 구조적 유사성이 없는 최근에 개발된 sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, 그리고 trizolopyrimidine계 제초제들의 공통적인 작용표적이다. 완두로부터 분리한 ALS를 이용하여 새로 합성한 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine 유도체들의 저해활성을 측정하였다. 가장 우수한 저해활성을 나타내는 유도체는 K11570으로 $IC_{50}$값이 0.2 ${\mu}M$이다. 완두의 ALS에 대한 K11570의 저해활성은 incubation 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 기질 pyruvate에 대해 혼합형 저해유형을 보여주었다. K11570와 sulfonylurea Ally, 그리고 feedback 저해제 leucine에 대한 dual inhibition 실험결과 이들 저해제의 결합부위가 최소한 부분적으로 겹치는 것으로 생각된다. Arg을 변형시킨 효소는 K11570, sulfonylurea Ally, 그리고 leucine의 저해 민감도의 변화가 관찰되었으나, Trp의 변형은 저해 민감도에 영향이 없었다.

  • Quercetin(3,5,7,3'-4'-OH-flavone)이 보리(Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon ASCHERS.) 자엽초 조직에서 옥신유발 에틸렌 생성을 현저히 촉진시켰다. $3{\times}10^{-5}\;M$의 quercetin에서 배양한 보리 자엽초 조직에서 옥신 유발 에틸렌 생성은 4시간 이후부터 증가되기 시작하여 8시간 이후에는 200%까지 증가되었다. Quercetin은 내재옥신인 indol-3-acetic acid(IAA)에 의한 에틸렌 생성은 촉진하나 합성 옥신인 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D)나 naphthaleneacetic acid(NAA)에 의한 에틸렌 생성에는 아무런 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한, 에틸렌 전구체인 1-aminocyclopropen-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) 유발 에틸렌 생성에도 촉진효과가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 에틸렌 생성에 대한 quercetin의 효과는 ACC 전단계에 작용한다는 것을 의미한다. Quercetin이 IAA 대사에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인한 결과 조직을 quercetin에 1시간 배양시켰을 때 조직내 IAA oxidase 효소 활성이 90% 감소되었으며, IAA conjugation에는 별 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서, 옥신 유발 에틸렌 생성에 대한 quercetin의 촉진작용은 quercetin이 IAA oxidase의 활성을 억제시켜 높아진 IAA 수준이 옥신 유발 에틸렌 생성을 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objective : Doctors' discussions on Makwon's warm-disease are studied in an effort to contemplate a way to use the outcome in practice. Method : Doctors' discussions on Makwon as found in researches and texts are categorized into physical and pathologica, and their symptoms and treatments are analyzed. Result & Conclusion : Many doctors of warm disease explained that, in terms of the physical aspect, Makwon is closely related to stomach. Some doctors also mentioned its relationship with triple engizers, defense and nutrient qi, and spleen. In terms of pathology, most of the doctors considered Makwon to be a hiding place of foul turbidity pathogen, and explained that a treatment has to be applied before the disease pattern worsens. Diverse syndroms of Makwonwere introduced. Their discussions mainly revolved around warm and epidemic or category of dampness-heat diseases. Alternating chills and fever was also mentioned often, and generalized pain, nausea, tongue of thick and slimy fur symptoms are shown. Ouguk's Dalwonneum is used as the basic treatment. The most effective prevention method of the incubation of pathogen are the symptoms that allows the analysis of the mechanism of disease. Therefore, a good utilization method of resolve turbidity with aroma or spices may contribute to the prevention of Makwon-disease in terms of cultural aspect.
