본 연구의 목적은 수용성고분자 PVA의 한외여과 실험을 통해 한계투과량(limiting flux) 현상에 미치는 조업변수들의 효과들을 고찰하고, 또한 겔층모델(gel-layer model)의 한계성을 극복하기 위해 열전달 계수의 개념을 도입한 Amiar 모델식을 바탕으로 새로운 모델식을 제시하여 이의 적용 가능성을 살펴보았다. Polysulfone 재질의 평판막(MWCO=20,000)과 중공사형막(MWCO= 30,000)을 사용하여 막내선속도, 투과압력, 온도, PVA 농도 등의 변화에 따른 한외여과 특성을 살펴보았다. 실험결과를 통해 polysulfone 재질의 막을 통해 PVA의 한외여과 과정은 겔층형성에 따른 투과저항 메커니즘이 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 중공사형막의 경우는 한계투과량 조건하에서 겔층모델에 의해 예측할 수 없는 upward 한계투과량 현상이 관측되었다. 점성도 보정인자(viscosity correction factor)가 포함된 새로운 모델식의 적용을 통해서 upward 한계투과량 현상을 예측하였으나 완전히 만족할만한 결과를 얻지 못했다. 그러나 이와 같은 모델식의 적용을 통해서 PVA의 한외여과 과정이 투과용액의 점성도와 매우 밀접한 관계를 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

The increase of population and industrial activities had brought into eutrophication in the Nakdong river. A remarkable acceleration of eutrophication brought about serious problems for water supply. Therefore, for the purpose of conservation of water quality in the Nakdong river it is necessary to control nutrients. MBOD method was use to evaluate algal growth limiting factor and algal growth potential in the Nakdong river from June to August 1994. The modified biochemical oxygen demand(MBOD) depends on the amount of available inorganic nutrient and organic substrate during 5 day incubation in the dark at 20$^{circ}C$. The MBOD assay depends on inorganic nutrients such as P and N as well as reduced carbon and called the MBOD, the MBOD-P, and the MBOD-N, respectively. The results of bioassay by MBOD(Modified BOD) method showed that the MBOD, MBOD-P and MBOD-N value were found to be in the ranges of 3.8∼96.0 mg$O_2$/l, 5.6∼94.0 mg$O_2$/l and 42.0∼220 mg$O_2$/l, respectively. And the the bioassay value was found to be the highest in Koryong area and the lowest in Waekwan area throughout the Nakdong river. The variations of MBOD-P and MBOD-N value showed similar tendencies to the variations of phosphorus and nitrogen value, respectively. By MBOD method, the relationships of MBOD, MBOD-P and MBOD-N value were MBOD ≒ MBOD-P 《 MBOD-N. The MBOD value was nearly equal to the MBOD-P value, and the MBOD-N value was 3 to 20 times more than the MBOD-P value, approximately. Therefore, in the Nakdong river, phosphorus was the limiting factor for algal growth during summer season. The algal growth potential as the concentration of chlorophyll-a in the summer was maximum 5 times more than standing crop as it.

The object of this paper is to identify the key elements that impact a radiation dose at EAB (Exclusion Area Boundary). This study is based on the AST (Alternative Source Terms) as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.183. The LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident) and the LRA (Locked Rotor Accident) are selected as limiting cases. A sensitivity analysis of accidental behavior with respect to various parameters during LOCA and LRA at Kori Unit 1 is also undertaken for the following objectives: to determine the limiting parameters, to find the impact trend of the radiation dose, and to find the safety margin between AST and TID (Technical Information Document) methodologies. This work confirms that key parameters are particulate removal rate, decontamination factor, iodine chemical form, gap fraction, partitioning factor, and the impact of isotopes group. Comparing TID with AST, the radiation dose of TID is about 80% greater than that of AST under a LOCA, and about 60% greater than that of AST for the case of a LRA; thus the safety margin is remarkably increased when the AST is used. In this work, the sensitivity analysis results are presented in terms of a sensitivity index called the "NDD (Normalized Dose Difference)", which compares the impact of parameters with that of a reference case. These values are derived by using a combination of the leak rate (primary to secondary), iodine chemical form, gap fraction, partitioning factor, spray removal rate, source term, and other variables.

Knowledge of the relationship between crop yield and yield-limiting factors is essential for precision farming. However, developing this knowledge is not easy because these yield-limiting factors are interrelated and affect crop yield in different ways. In this study, data for grain yield and yield-limiting factors, including crop chlorophyll content, soil chemical properties, and topography were collected for a small (0.3 ha) rice paddy field in Korea and a large (36 ha) upland corn field in the USA, and relationships were investigated with path analysis. Using this approach, the effects of limiting factors on crop yield could be separated into direct effects and indirect effects acting through other factors. Path analysis provided more insight into these complex relationships than did simple correlation or multiple linear regression analysis. Results of correlation analysis for the rice paddy field showed that EC, Ca, and $SiO_2$ had significant (P<0.1) correlations with rice yield, while pH, Ca, Mg, Na, $SiO_2,\;and\;P_2O_5$ had significant correlations with the SPAD chlorophyll reading. Path analysis provided additional information about the importance and contribution paths of soil variables to rice yield and growth. Ca had the highest direct effect (0.52) and indirect effect via Mg (-0.37) on rice yield. The indirect effect of Mg through Ca (0.51) was higher than the direct effect (-0.38). Path analysis also enabled more appropriate selection of important factors limiting crop yield by considering cause-and-effect relationships among predictor and response variables. For example, although pH showed a positive correlation (r=0.35) with SPAD readings, the correlation was mainly due to the indirect positive effects acting through Mg and $SiO_2$, while pH not only showed negative direct effects, but also negatively impacted indirect effects of other variables on SPAD readings. For the large upland Missouri corn field, two topographic factors, elevation and slope, had significant (P<0.1) direct effects on yield and highly significant (P<0.01) correlations with other limiting factors. Based on the correlation analysis alone, P and K were determined to be nutrients that would increase corn yield for this field. With the help of path analysis, however, increases in Mg could also be expected to increase corn yield in this case. In general, path analysis results were consistent with published optimum ranges of nutrients for rice and com production. We conclude that path analysis can be a useful tool to investigate interrelationships between crop yield and yield limiting factors on a site-specific basis.

eIF5B는 단백질합성의 개시 인자로서 Met-$tRNA^{Met}$을 AUG 개시코돈에 전달하고, 리보솜의 두 소단위체 결합을 유도한다. 이 인자의 기능을 연구할 목적으로 eIF5B를 코딩하는 FUN12 유전자의 5'말단 부위를 삭제하는 연구를 수행하였다. 프로모터의 대부분을 삭제한 FUN12를 함유한 pRS효모벡터를 FUN12가 삭제되어 천천히 자라는 돌연변이주 ($fun12{\Delta}g$)에 전달하였을 때 그 표현형을 부분적으로 상보하였다. 위와 같이 제조된 벡터에서 N-말단이 상실된 eIF5B 단백질이 발현되었고, 그 양이 정상 균주에서 발현되는 eIF5B 양의 약 5%에 불과하였다. 이와 같이 부분적으로 성장을 상보한 균주에서 발현된 적은 양의 단백질합성개시 인자 eIF5B는 직접적으로 그 성장을 제한하는 요소로 작용한다. 이러한 균주에서 성장의 제한인자인 eIF5B는 in vitro 에서도 역시 전체 단백질 합성의 활성을 조절하였다.

We investigate the test for model adequacy in nonlinear regression. We can expect the usual likelihood ratio statistic to be unaffected by any parametric- effect curvature; only the effect of intrinsic curvature needs to be considered. Multiplicative correction factor is derived for the limiting distribution of test statistic, which is a function of the intrinsic curvature arrays.

Multi-wavelength holography has a better axial range than single-wavelength holography, thus allowing unambiguous phase imaging. Noise amplification is the limiting factor in multi-wavelength holography as noise is amplified by a factor equivalent to the magnification of the wavelengths. Here, we propose a new algorithm to remove noise amplification in multi-wavelength holography. The proposed method does not use phase unwrapping and removes $2{\pi}$ ambiguities. Experiments and numerical simulations indicated that the proposed method is fast, has low noise, and is useful for measuring samples with arbitrary step heights.

본 연구에서는 국내 분포하고 있는 490개 저수지를 대상으로 유역특성과 수질과의 관계를 조사하였고, TSI편차분석을 통해 유형을 구분하여 영양염 측면에서의 각 유형별 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구 대상저수지에서 수심이 얕을수록 부영양화 가능성이 높게 나타났다. 유역 내 논과 밭의 이용면적이 30%이상인 경우 수체 내 TP농도는 평균 0.1 mg $L^{-1}$ 이상이었다. TN 농도는 유역전체면적 중 논의 면적이 25% 이상인 경우에 평균 2.6 mg $L^{-1}$이상의 분포를 나타냈다. TSI편차를 통해 구분된 형태 중 TYPE III에 해당하는 저수지의 수질항목별 평균 농도는 다른 두 형태에 포함된 저수지에서 보다 2배 이상 높은 수준이었다. TYPE III에 포함된 저수지는 다른 두 유형에 포함된 저수지와 비교해 부영양상태이고, 수심이 얕으며, 수표면적에 대한 유역면적비 (DA/RA)가 작고, 논과 밭으로의 이용면적이 넓었다. TYPE I과 II에 포함된 저수지의 수질은 TYPE II에서 BOD와 엽록소 ${\alpha}$농도가 높은 것을 제외하고는 유사한 수준이었고, 형태학적 특성(평균수심, DA/RA)이나 토지이용형태 또한 유사하였다. TYPE I에 포함된 저수지들에서는 인이 조류성장에 대한 일차적인 제한요인은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 모든 대상저수지에서 인의 제한가능성이 나타났으며, 토지이용형태, 특히 유역 내 논과 밭으로의 이용면적은 저수지의 수질을 결정하는 매우 중요한 인자였다.

The effects of intra-duodenal infusion of methionine (Met), lysine (Lys) and leucine (Leu) on dry matter intake (DMI), the concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), growth hormone (GH) and insulin in plasma, and liver IGF-I mRNA level were investigated in two experiments for Liuyang Black growing wether goats. In Experiment 1, three goats ($10.0{\pm}0.1$ kg) were fitted with ruminal, proximal duodenal and terminal ileal fistulaes to determine the infusion amounts of Met, Lys and Leu at the duodenum according to essential amino acid flows into the duodenum and their apparent digestibility. The infusion amounts were 0.77 g/d, 0.91 g/d and 0.58 g/d respectively. In Experiment 2, 4 groups of goats (($10.0{\pm}0.2$ kg) for each group, were cannulated at the duodenum, and were infused with a mixture of Met, Lys and Leu (Control), or mixtures with 21% Met, Lys or Leu replaced with glutamate respectively on a nitrogenous basis. The replacement of 21% Met, Lys or Leu with glutamate did not affect intakes of maize stover, concentrate or both (p>0.05) when compared with the control. The replacement of 21% Met or Lys significantly (p<0.05) reduced plasma GH, insulin and IGF-I concentrations and liver IGF-I mRNA level. The replacement of 21% Leu with glutamate reduced (p<0.05) plasma IGF-I concentration only, but not plasma insulin and GH, as well as liver IGF-I mRNA level (p>0.05). The close relationships between supplying Met and Lys in the lumen of the duodenum and plasma IGF-I, GH and insulin concentrations, as well as liver IGF-I mRNA level in this study indicate that the effects of the limiting amino acids on nutrition of animals are likely intermediated via their effects on these hormones, and these hormone profiles could be used as intermediate markers for the limiting order of amino acids.

Drug targeting to the central nervous system (CNS) is the limiting factor in CNS drug development because most of drug do not cross the brain capillary endothelial wall, which forms the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vivo. One strategy for drug targeting to the brain is to use endogenous BBB transport systems. (omitted)
