Background: Cervical cancer, the second most common cancer in women, has a high mortality rate. Cisplatin, an antitumor agent, is generally used for its treatment. However, the administration of cisplatin is associated with side effects and intrinsic resistance. Morinda citrifolia (Noni), a natural plant product, has been shown to have antioxidant activities in vitro and in vivo. Materials and Methods: Both HeLa and SiHa cervical cancer cell lines were treated with 10% Noni, 10 mg/dl cisplatin, or a combination of both 10% Noni and 10 mg/dl cisplatin for 24 hours. Post culturing, the cells were pelleted and stored at $-70^{\circ}C$ for malondialdehyde and catalase assays. Results: On treatment with Noni, CP, and their combination, the level of MDA decreased by 0.76 fold, 0.49 fold, and 0.68 fold respectively in HeLa cells; and by 0.93 fold, 0.67 fold, and 0.79 fold respectively in SiHa cells, as compared to their controls; whereas catalase activity increased by 1.61 fold, 0.54 fold, and 2.35 fold, respectively in HeLa cells; and by 0.98 fold, 0.39 fold, and 1.85 fold respectively in SiHa cells. Conclusions: A decrease in level of lipid peroxidation and an increase in catalase activity were observed with Noni by itself and the effect ameliorated changes observed with cisplatin when given in combination.

Rotary machine is major equipment in industry. The rotary machine is applied for a machine tool, ship, vehicle, power plant, and so on. But a spindle fault increase product's expense and decrease quality of a workpiece in machine tool. A turbine in power plant is directly connected to human safety. National crisis could be happened by stopping of rotary machine in nuclear plant. Therefore, it is very important to know rotary machine condition in industry field. This study mentioned fault diagnosis algorithm with statistical parameter and empirical mode decomposition. Vibration locations can be found by analyze kurtosis of data from triaxial axis. Support vector of data determine threshold using hyperplane with fault location. Empirical mode decomposition is used to find fault caused by intrinsic mode. This paper suggested algorithm to find direction and causes from generated fault.

The effect of $CaCo_3$, $SrCo_3$, $SiO_2$ and $H_3BO_3$ in the range of 0.1-1.0 wt% on strontium ferrites consisting of the magnetoplumbite phase $SrO-5.7Fe_2O_3$ were investigated. The hysteresis loop, density, demagnetization curve and the intrinsic coercive force were measured on anisotropic ferrite. The particle diameter and 0.5(wt%) of second additive $CaCo_3$ is particularly important for the properties of anisotropic ferrite. When the particle diameter is decreased from 1.98(${\mu}m$) to 1.07(${\mu}m$), the remance is increased from 2900 to 4010(G) and the coercive force from 2150 to 2850(Oe) at a sintering temperature 1230 ($^{\circ}C$). Remance Br(G), coercleve force(Oe) and maximum energy product of sample A-16 are87(%), 56(%), 67(%) of S-W model theoretical value.

In this thesis, we made a sheet to improve the concentration of study. To demonstrate the improvement in the concentration of study, we obtained functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which has superior time resolution and measures brain noninvasively by using intrinsic contrast agent. As a result of Brainwave measurement, we could verify the blood flow's activate in the nearby frontal lobe related to memory process and noticeable ratio change in absolute alpha wave and beta wave after the analysis of Brainwave measurement. fMRI ascertains the physiological function of the brain and is being used to prevent the trouble medically that can be caused before and after the operation. For the visibility of cranial nerve network, many researches will be carried out to develope the product which is related to brain like concentration of study.

The effect of aqueous methanol on the catalytic properties of porcine pancreatic lipase has been investigated. The k$_{CAT}$, values for the hydrolysis of N$^{alpha}$-benzyloxycarbonyl-L­lysine p-nitrophenyl ester at 0$^{circ}$C increased in a linear manner with increasing methanol concentration. However, the K$_{M}$ values were not influenced at methanol concentrations lower than $30\%$ and then began to increase at higher concentrations in an exponential fashion. Based on product analysis, the increase in k$_{CAT}$, with increasing methanol concentration can be accounted for by nucleophilic competition of methanol for the acyl enzyme intermediate, indicating that the rate-limiting step of the porcine pancreatic lipase-catalyzed reaction is deacylation under current experimental conditions. The exponential increase in K$_{M}$ at methanol concentrations higher than $30\%$ is attributed to the hydrophobic partitioning effect on substrate binding. There was no loss of lipase activity over a 4 h period in $60\%$ methanol concentration at pH$^{circ}$ 5.5 and 0$^{circ}$C. By monitoring the intrinsic fluorescence and absorbance, no evidence for structural changes by methanol was observed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate empirically the consumer behavior regarding the purchase of millinery items in relation to their evaluation criterion and demographic characteristics. The survey was carried out to 395 individuals in their 20s and over who were quota sampled according to age and gender. The collected data were statistically treated with the SPSS 12.0 program in terms of descriptive statistics, cross tabulation, t-test, one-way ANOVA, factor analysis, Cronbach's $\alpha$ coefficient and Duncan-test. The 20s and 50s over were more interested in hat products than other ages. Female consumers obtained the most information about hat products from store visits, TV and magazines. On the other hand, male consumers had it from the acquaintances and internet. Younger consumers more often utilized internet to have it. Their main purchase location was department stores. The younger purchased it more in traditional market, the older purchased it more in mega wholesale market or discount store. The consumers of hat products considered the intrinsic classification most when buying hats. The evaluation criteria employed by them were aesthetics, quality, and external attributes. Hat consumers were more concerned about aesthetics attributes than the other two criteria. Female consumers and consumers who are more interested in the hat and have a higher level of education and income considered aesthetics attributes most important.

(E)-2-Methoxy-4-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-1-en-1-yl)phenol (MMPP), derived from butenal, is a recently synthesized Maillard reaction product. Owing to its novelty, little is known about the function of MMPP. In this study, we elucidated the effects of MMPP on apoptosis in cervical cancer by using the HeLa cervical cancer cell line, which is widely used in cancer research. We observed that MMPP was cytotoxic to HeLa cells and induced activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9, without affecting the expression of the viral oncogenes E6 and E7. In particular, the expression of the death receptors DR5 and FAS was significantly increased by MMPP treatment. There were no significant alterations of mitochondrial intrinsic factors. Taking all these results together, our findings show that MMPP primarily induces apoptosis in HeLa cervical cancer cells via the extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway, accompanied by an enhanced expression of death receptors.

By adding 1wt.% $HfB_{2}$ into $Nd_{3-4}Fe_{77-78.5}B_{18.5}$ alloys, the grain growth of $Fe_{3}B/Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B$ composite phases during annealing was found to be hindered by 40~50%. It is proposed that the addition of $HfB_{2}$ leads to the formation of fine dispersoids of $HfB_{2}$ in the $Fe_{3}B/Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B$ composite magnet. The maximum energy product($(B.H)_{max}$) as well as intrinsic coercivity($_{i}H_{c}$) for the $Nd_{3}Fe_{78.5}B_{18.5}\;+\;1wt.%\;HfB_{2}$ alloy were enhanced by more than 25% $(B.H)_{max}=10\;MGOe,\;_{i}H_{c}=2.5\;kOe)$ due to the addition of $HfB_{2}$ while remanent magntization($B_{r}$) was reduced slightly. Itis deduced that the formation of fine dispersoids will also play a role of magnetic domain pinning.

The processing characteristics of freeze-dried pork powder as raw meat for comminuted meat products were compared with those of freeze-thawed pork. The tertiary structural properties, oxidation, and solubility of proteins in the freeze-dried pork powder were investigated. In addition, the properties of the emulsion gels manufactured with freeze-dried pork powder (GFD) and freeze-thawed pork (GFT) at 1.5% and 2.0% NaCl were evaluated. The surface hydrophobicity and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence intensity of myofibrillar proteins between the freeze-dried pork powder and freeze-thawed pork were similar. However, freeze-dried pork powder had higher carbonyl compounds and lower solubility of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins than freeze-thawed pork (p<0.05). GFD had higher cooking loss than GFT in 2.0% NaCl, and lower hardness and a^* value of GFD were observed regardless of NaCl level (p<0.05). Moreover, GFD had higher malondialdehyde content than GFT at the two NaCl concentrations (p<0.05). Therefore, our study demonstrated that freeze-dried pork powder has lower functional properties than freeze-thawed pork as raw meat for comminuted meat products.
