In this study, we evaluated the methylene blue (MB) adsorption potential of non-treated and UV-C pretreated bacterial biomass from aqueous solution. The UV-C pretreatment denature the biomass and has increased overall functional groups when compared to non-treated biomass. The biosorbent was exposed to various pH, biomass dose, and contact time. The results showed that the dried and UV-C pretreated biomass effectively removed MB within 30 min. Dried and UV-C pretreated biomass of Bacillus pseudomycoides JH 2-2 showed a adsorption of 858.2 and 1072.4 mg/g at optimum conditions (pH: 9.0, contact time: 30 min, biomass dose: 1 g/L). Similarly, dried and UV-C pretreated biomass of Citrobacter freundii JH 11-2 showed an adsorption 868.3 and 954 mg/g at optimum conditions (pH: 9.0, contact time: 10 min, biomass dose: 1.5 g/L). The changes in the functional groups of UV-C pretreated biomass could be responsible for enhanced adsorption of MB. The results obtained have shown that non-treated and UV-C pretreated biomass has a high adsorption capacity for MB dye and can be used as a low-cost biosorbent in wastewater treatments.

A new 4.87 kb Escherichia-Pseudomonas shuttle vector has been constructed by inserting a 1.27 kb DNA fragment with a replication origin of a Pseudomonas plasmid pRO1614 into the 3.6 kb E. coli plasmid pBGS18. This vector, designated pJH1, contains an aminogly-coside phosphotransferase gene (aph) from Tn903, a lacZ' gene for $\alpha$-complementation and a versatile multiple cloning site possessing unique restriction sites for EcoRI, SacI, KpnI, SmaI, BamHI, XbaI, SalI, BspMI, PstI, SphI, and HindIII. When pJH1 was transformed into E. coli DHS${\alpha}$ and into P. putida HK-6, it was episomally and stably maintained in both strains. In addition, the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene which was transcriptionally cloned into pJH1 rendered E. coli cells fluorescence when its transformants were illuminated at 488 nm.

For the production of D-lactic acid from DL-2-chloropropionic acid, about 80 strains of bacteria capable of assimilating DL-2-chloropropionic acid as a sole carbon and energy source were isolated from the soil. JH-007 strain that showed the higest productivity of D-lactic acid and didn't produce L-lactic acid from DL-2-chloropropionic acid was selected from them and identified as Pseudomonas sp. The optimal conditions for the production of D-lactic acid from DL-2-chloropropionic acid were examined. The resting cells of JH-007 cultured in LB medium containing 3 g/l of DL-2-chloropropionic acid were used as an enzyme source. The reaction mixtures for the maximal production of D-lactic acid were consist of 10 g/l of resting cells and 3 g/l of DL-2-chloropropionic acid in 125 mM sodium carbonate buffer. The optimal pH for the reaction was 10.0 and the optimal temperature was 30$\circ$C. When 1 g/l of DL-2-chloropropionic acid was added intermittently to the reaction mixture under the above condition, 5.72 g/l of D-lactic acid was produced after incubation of 5 hrs. This amount of D-lactic acid corresponded to a 98.4% yields and the optical purity was 99.8%.

About 3,000 bacterial colonies with esterase activities were isolated from soil samples by enrichment culture and halo-size on Luria broth-tributyrin (LT) plates. The colonies were assayed for esterase activity in microtiter plates using enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylbutyric acid resorufin ester (2PB-O-res) as substrates. Two enantioselective strains (JH2 and JH13) were selected by the ratio of initial rate of hydrolysis of enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-2-PB-O-res. When cell pellets were used, both strains showed high apparent enantioselectivity ($E_{app}>100$) for (R)-2PB-O-res and were identified as Exiguobacterium acetylicum. The JH13 strain showed high esterase activity on p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA), but showed low lipase activity on p-nitrophenyl palmitate (pNPP). The esterase was located in the soluble fraction of the cell extract. The crude intracellular enzyme preparation was stable at a pH range from 6.0 to 11.0.

Adult diapause in insects is characterized by suppression of reproductive development. It is induced by environmental cues such as photoperiod, temperature, food availability, and other conditions Diapause-inducing environment is recognized and analyzed by the brain of the insects. The interpreted information is conveyed via endocrine system to target tissues such as ovaries, fat body, and other tissues. From this signal hierarchy of a brain-endocrine-target tissue axis, several factors are involved to express a diapause trait in a quantitative mode, even though the insects show a binomial phenotye between being in diapause or not. Recent works estimated that the number of the factors is relatively small by a series of crossing trials between high and low diapause lines. Heritability of the diapause is quite high (ca. 70%) in some species. Epistasis, sex-linkage, pleiotropism, and other nongenetic components also affect diapause inheritance. Most physiological studies have been focused on control mechanisms of the juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis in corpora allata (CA) because JH level in hemolymph of teneral adults is critical to decide a later developmental mode. Allatostatin, an antagonizer of JH synthesis, has been believed to be a potent brain message to CA for adult diapause induction.

Cryptographic hash functions are widely used in many information security applications like digital signatures, message authentication codes (MACs), and other forms of authentication. In response to recent advances in cryptanalysis of commonly used hash algorithms, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced a publicly open competition for selection of new standard Secure Hash Algorithm called SHA-3. One important aspect of this competition is evaluation of hardware performances of the candidates. In this work we present efficient hardware implementations of SHA-3 finalists: JH, Keccak and Skein. We propose high speed architectures using Look-Up Table (LUT) resources on FPGAs, to minimize chip area and to reduce critical path lengths. This approach allows us to design data paths of SHA-3 finalists with minimum resources and higher clock frequencies. We implemented and investigated the performance of these candidates on modern and latest FPGA devices from Xilinx. This work serves as performance investigation of leading SHA-3 finalists on most up-to-date FPGAs.

Two studies were conducted to investigate the effects of anti-diarrhoeal herbs on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and meat quality in pigs. In Exp 1, 150 weanling-growing piglets (average BW = $7.5{\pm}0.24$ kg, average age = $27{\pm}1$ d) were allotted into one of the five dietary treatments, including: i) CON, basal diet, ii) DP, basal diet+1 g/kg date pits, iii) JH, basal diet+0.5 g/kg Japanese-honeysuckle, iv) HCT, basal diet+1 g/kg houttuynia cordata thunb, and v) LE, basal diet+1 g/kg laquer tree extract. From wk 0 to 5, the JH, HCT and LE groups presented higher (p<0.05) ADFI, ADG and gain/feed ratio (G/F) than CON and DP groups. During wk 5 to 10, Pigs fed JH, HCT and LE diets indicated higher (p<0.05) ADG and ADFI than the pigs fed CON and DP diets. During the entire experimental period, a significant increase of ADG appeared in JH, HCT and LE (p<0.05). Pigs fed JH, HCT and LE diets got a higher (p<0.05) ADFI than the pigs fed CON and DP diets. Pigs fed diets with supplementations of herb additives revealled lower (p<0.05) score of diarrhea pigs during d 2 to d 6 compared with pigs fed CON diet. In Exp 2, 60 growing-finishing barrows and gilts (average BW = $54.10{\pm}1.20$ kg, average age = $54{\pm}3$ d) were allotted to three treatments: i) CON, basal diet; ii) YG, basal diet+1 g/kg yellow ginger and iii) HR, basal dietary+1 g/kg hoantchy root, respectively. From wk 0 to 5, Dietary supplementation of YG and HR enhanced (p<0.05) ADG. No difference was found between YG and HR treatments. During, wk 5 to 10, ADG also was observed higher in YG and HR treatments than CON group (p<0.05). Additional, YG had the highest ADG (p<0.05) among treatments. There was always an increase of ADG in YG and HR (p<0.05) through all periods. HR treatment showed a lower (p<0.05) score of diarrhoeal pigs on d 1and d 2 compared with CON treatment. Pigs fed YG and HR diets had a higher (p<0.05) longissimus muscle area (LMA) than pigs fed CON diet. In conclusion, anti-diarrhoeal herbs can improve growth performance, and prevent diarrhea incidence in pigs, it can also increase LMA in finishing pigs.

Corynebacterium glutamicum, an important industrial strain, has a relatively slower reproduction rate. To acquire a growth-boosted C. glutamicum, a descendant strain was isolated from a continuous culture after 600 generations. The isolated descendant C. glutamicum, JH41 strain, was able to double 58% faster (t_d=1.15 h) than the parental type strain (PT, t_d=1.82 h). To understand the factors boosting reproduction, the transcriptomes of JH41 and PT strains were compared. The mRNAs involved in respiration and TCA cycle were upregulated. The intracellular ATP of the JH41 strain was 50% greater than the PT strain. The upregulation of NCgl1610 operon (a putative dyp-type heme peroxidase, a putative copper chaperone, and a putative copper importer) that presumed to role in the assembly and redox control of cytochrome c oxidase was found in the JH41 transcriptome. Plasmid-driven expression of the operon enabled the PT strain to double 19% faster (t_d=1.82 h) than its control (t_d=2.17 h) with 14% greater activity of cytochrome c oxidase and 27% greater intracellular ATP under the oxidative stress conditions. Upregulations of genes those might enhance translation fitness were also found in the JH41 transcriptome. Plasmid-driven expressions of NCgl0171 (encoding a cold-shock protein) and NCgl2435 (encoding a putative peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase) enabled the PT to double 22% and 32% faster than its control, respectively (empty vector: t_d=1.93 h, CspA: t_d=1.58 h, and Pth: t_d=1.44 h). Based on the results, the factors boosting growth rate in C. gluctamicum were further discussed in the viewpoints of cellular energy state, oxidative stress management, and translation.

2006년 고마자와대학에서 발견된 간경도감본 "오삼난야신학비용"의 출현은 답보상태에 있던 다비법 연구에 새로운 전기를 마련하는 계기가 되었다. 3권으로 구성되어 있는 "오삼난야신학비용"은 상권은 일부 낙질이 있고 하권은 가의 일반의례를 담고 있다. 중권은 동아시아 불교상장례의 시원을 담은 내용으로 편집되어 있어 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 본 논고에서 중권의 내용을 분석하였다. 속례를 따르던 불교의 상례를 수방비니(隨方毗尼)에 따라 새로이 만들었으며, 오복(五服)은 법의(法衣)의 뜻을 따라 오삼(五衫)이라고 한다. 감구효당(龕柩孝堂)은 자체불(自體佛)을 밝히는 일향일등(一香一燈)을 시설하고, 사리(śarīra)인 골신(骨身)의 전신 사리를 모시는 곳이다. 조위문(吊慰文)은 슬픈 마음과 비통한 용모를 지켜야하고 그 마음을 하얀 종이 위에 글로서 나타내야한다. 제문(祭文)은 죽은 이를 위한 글로서 반드시 고제(告祭)를 따라야 한다는 것이다. 이와 같은 구성과 내용은 "석문상의초" 상하권에 반영되었다. 특히 "오삼난야신학비용"의 저술 의도는 "석문상의초" 서문에 반영되고, 이후에 조선시대의 다비법 성립에 영향을 끼친다. 불교상장례의 의미와 절차는 "오삼난야신학비용"의 상례에 "석씨요람"의 장례법을 통합하여 "석문상의초"라는 다비의례서로 완성하게 된다. 다비를 한 후에 탑을 세우는 것은 원적(圓寂)을 이룬 상징이며 깨달음의 한 종류이다. "석문상의초"에서 상례와 장례를 하나로 묶는 편집은 한국불교다비법의 원형을 만들었다는데 큰 의의가 있다. 그리고 다비 후에 사리를 탑에 안치하는 것은 불교적 삶의 완성을 보이는 것이다. 특히 불서를 만들던 간경도감에서 다비법의 원형인 "오삼난야신학비용"을 판각하여 제작?보급하였다는데 또 다른 의의를 두어야 할 것이다.
