A module M is said to satisfy the $EC_{11}$ condition if every ec-submodule of M has a complement which is a direct summand. We show that for a multiplication module over a commutative ring the $EC_{11}$ and P-extending conditions are equivalent. It is shown that the $EC_{11}$ property is not inherited by direct summands. Moreover, we prove that if M is an $EC_{11}$-module where SocM is an ec-submodule, then it is a direct sum of a module with essential socle and a module with zero socle. An example is given to show that the reverse of the last result does not hold.

Regulation of invertase biosynthesis was studied in thermophilic and alkalophilic Bacillus sp. TA-11. Biosynthesis of the invertase was effectively induced in the presence of 10 mM sucrose for 180 min. Glucose repressed the invertase induction by sucrose and as late as addition time of glucose, the invertase formation was increased, indicating that glucose repression was occurred by inducer exclusion. Catabolite repression was reduced a little by the addition of cAMP for 180 min of induction.

The difrrrenlial display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) aniilysis roils performed to identify the pathogellir strain specific amplicons. mRNAs were purified from the trophozoites of the pathogenif strain YS-27 and the non-pathogenic strain S 16. respectively. Three kinds of rirsl stranded rDNAs were reverse transcribed from the mRNAs by one base anchored oligo-dT 11M (M: A. C, or G) primers. Each cDNA lemplatr was used for DDRT-PCK analysis. A total of 144 pathogenic strain specific amplicons was observed in DDRT-PCR analysis using primer combinations of the 11 arbitrary primers and the 3 one base anchored oli해-dT11M primers. Of these 31 amplit'tons were verified as the amplirons amplified only from the mRNAs of the pathogenic strain by DNA slots biol llybridizatioil. Furthel cklaracleization of the 31 pathogenic strain sprcifil amplicons by DNA slot blot hybridlnation analysis using biotin labeled Probes or the PCR amplified DNA of rysteine proteinase genes revealed that 21 of them were amplliried from the maNAs of the cysteine proteinase genes. Four randomly selected amplirons out of the rest 10 amplirons were used fur screening of cDNA library followed by immunoscreening and all of them were turned outs to be amplified from the mRNA.

We observed an area of 10 $deg^2$ of the Large Magellanic Cloud using the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI. The observations were carried out using five imaging filters (3, 7, 11, 15, and $24{\mu}m$) and the prism disperser ($2-5{\mu}m$, ${\lambda}/{\Delta}{\lambda}{\sim}20$) equipped in the IRC. This paper presents an outline of the survey project and also describes very briefly the newly compiled near- to mid-infrared point source catalog. The $10{\sigma}$ limiting magnitudes are 17.9, 13.8, 12.4, 9.9, and 8.6 mag at 3.2, 7, 11, 15 and $24{\mu}m$, respectively. The photometric accuracy is estimated to be about 0.1 mag at $3.2{\mu}m$ and 0.06 - 0.07 mag in the other bands. The position accuracy is 0.3" at 3.2, 7 and $11{\mu}m$ and 1.0" at 15 and $24{\mu}m$. The sensitivities at 3.2, 7, and $24{\mu}m$ are roughly comparable to those of the Spitzer SAGE LMC point source catalog, while the AKARI catalog provides the data at 11 and $15{\mu}m$, covering the near- to mid-infrared spectral range continuously.

Al doped $LiMn_2O_4$ cathode powders with fine size were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method from the spray solution with citric acid and ethylene glycol. The as-prepared powders with spherical shape, porous structure and micron size turned into $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders with micron size and regular morphology after post-treatment above $800^{\circ}C$. The $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders had low initial discharge capacity of 94 mAh/g at a post-treatment temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. As the post-temperature increased from $750^{\circ}C$ to $1,000^{\circ}C$, the initial discharge capacities of the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders changed from 103 to 117 mAh/g. The $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders had the maximum discharge capacity at a post-treatment temperature of $750^{\circ}C$. However, the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders post-treated at a temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ had the good cycle properties. The discharge capacities of the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders dropped from 107 to 100 mAh/g (93% capacity retention) by the 70th cycle at a current density of 0.1 C.

Tropomyosin (TM) is an important actin binding protein involved in regulation of muscle contraction. Unacetylated striated tropomyosin failed to bind to actin whereas unacetylated smooth tropomyosin bound well to actin. It has been demonstrated that high actin affinity of unacetylated ${\alpha}-tropomyosin$ was ascribed to the carboxyl terminal amino acid residues. In order to define the role of the carboxyl terminal residues of tropomyosin molecule on actin binding, two mutant tropomyosins were constructed. TM11 is identical to the striated tropomyosin except that the carboxyl terminal last three amino acids was replaced with $^{282}NNM^{284}$ whereas in TM14 $^{276}HA^{277}$ was substituted with smooth specific $^{276}QT^{277}$. TM11 and TM14 were overproduced in Escherichia coli and analyzed for actin affinity. The apparent binding constants (Kapp) of unacetylated tropomyosins were $2.2{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for sm9, $1.03{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for TM14, $0.19{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for TM11, $>0.1{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for striated, respectively. This result indicated that higher actin affinity of the unacetylated smooth tropomyosin was primarily attributed to the presence of QT residues in the smooth sequence. In case of the Ala-Ser (AS) dipeptide extension of the amino terminus of tropomyosin, Kapp were $21.1{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for AS-sm9, $8.0{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for AS-11, $4.7{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for AS-14, $3.8{\times}10^6M^{-1}$ for AS-striated. AS-TM11 showed considerably higher actin affinity than AS-TM14, implying that interaction of Ala-Ser of the amino terminus with the carboxyl terminal residues. Since Kapp of AS-TM11 was significantly lower than that of AS-sm9, the presence of QT might be required for restoration of high actin affinity of the smooth ${\alpha}-tropomyosin$. These results suggested that the carboxyl terminal amino acid residues Glutamine275-Threonine276 are important for actin affinity of the recombinant smooth ${\alpha}-tropomyosin$, particularly of unacetylated smooth ${\alpha}-tropomyosin$.

In the treatment of the wastewater containing metals($Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$) by using batch precipitation and flocculation followed by membrane filtration, permeate flux and removal efficiency were investigated according to by the effect of pH and coagulants, and the type of membranes used and pore size. It was found that it is most effective to use $0.45{\mu}m$-polysulfone membrane and coagulant(PAC) at the conditions of the pH of 10.0~10.5 for the case of copper containing wastewater, $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and coagulant(PAC) at the conditions of the pH of 10.0~10.5 for the case of zinc containing wastewater, $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 11.0~11.5 for the case of nickel containing wastewater, $0.2{\mu}m$ membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 8.0~8.5 for the case of chromic containing wastewater, and $0.2{\mu}m{\sim}0.45{\mu}m$ membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 11.0~11.5 for the case mixture wastewater. The permeate flux could higher as to be used coagulants except for the case of copper containing wastewater.

This study describes the spatio-temporal distributions in phytoplankton community such as species composition, standing crops and dominant species from April to November 2008 in the Jeju Marine Ranching Area (JMRA). A total of 106 species of phytoplankton belonging to 63 genera was identified. In particular, diatoms and dinoflagellates were occupied more than 61% and 35% of total species, respectively. The annual dominant species were Skeletonema costatum-like species(ls) in April, Torodinium teredo, Cylindrotheca closterium, Scrippsiella trochoidea in June, S. costatum - ls, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Pseudo-nitzschia pungens, Ebria tripartita in September and Corethron pennatum, Dictyocha fibura, Neoceratium teres in November. Phytoplankton cell density ranged between $0.6cells{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ in June and $64.0cells{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ in April. It fluctuated with an annual mean of $11.7cells{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ between the lowest value of $0.9cells{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ in November and the highest value of $37.0cells{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ by S. costatum -ls in April. Diversity index in September was higher than diatom blooming seasons in April. According to the phytoplankton community structure, the biological oceanographic characteristics of the JMRA was characterized by nanoplankton during a year. That is, primary production is deemed to have a higher possibility of being adjusted by a reproduction by material cycle in the ecosystems than nutrients supply from the lands.

In this study, microorganisms were isolated from nosocomial environment and are identified by biochemical analysis as the part of biochemical and technical convergence. Microorganisms were collected at intense care unit of general hospital located in Pyeongtak (2014.11.28. - 2014. 11. 30). Using a VITEK2 equipment of biochemical approaches, eleven microorganisms e.g., Micrococcus luteus (or M. lylae), Granulicatella adiacens (M. luteus or M. lylae), Staphylococcus caprae, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Kocuria kristinae, G elegans, Aerococcus viridans (or Staphylococcus arlettae), Methylobacterium spp., Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis (or Kytococcus sedentarius), Kocuria kristinae (or M. luteus, M. lylae), Pseudomonas oryzihabitans were identified. And then identified bacteria plates were applied with a plastic stick, so called with "FarmeTok (medistick/Puristic) to produce ClO2. ClO2-releasing plastic stick showed the very strong inhibition of bacterial growth with about 99.9%. There were no bacterial colonies on the ClO2-incubated plate. Taken together, it is suggested that chlorine dioxide should be very strong inhibitor to microorganisms of nosocomial infections.

A specimen of porous-head eelpout Bothrocara hollandi (Zoarcidae: Perciformes) caught from the East Sea was found to harbour a myxosporean parasite. Numerous whitish pseudocysts were scattered throughout the body musculature of this individual specimen. Fresh myxosporean spores were found from the squashed pseudocysts under light microscopy. They were subspherical in frontal view with a length of $11.9(11.0{\sim}13.5){\mu}m$, width of $11.6(10.7{\sim}13.6){\mu}m$, and thickness of $7.8(6.9{\sim}8.8){\mu}m$. Two polar capsules were almost equally pyriform with a length of $4.4(3.2{\sim}5.3){\mu}m$ and width of $3.3(2.4{\sim}4.2){\mu}m$. Morphometric and host ecology analysis revealed that this myxosporean parasite could be identified as Myxobolus aeglefini Auerbach 1906. Phylogenetic analysis based on 18S rDNA sequences also revealed that M. aeglefini was clustered with M. albi and M. groenlandicus in the same branch, sharing 97.7% and 96.9% sequence similarities with M. albi and M. groenlandicus, respectively.
