  • An ${\alpha}-Amylase$ was purified to apparent homogeneity from germinating soybean seeds (Glycine max). Enzyme showed high specificity for starch. ${\alpha}-Amylase$ from soybean has optimum pH at 7.6 in the pH range 4.0-10.6. At this pH, the $K_m$ of starch was 2.63 mg/ml and the $V_{max}$ was equal to 52.6 mg/ml/min protein. Optimum temperature of the enzyme was found to be $55^{\circ}C,\;Q_{10}$ equal to 1.85 and energy of activation equal to 12 kcal/mol. Additives like, EDTA reduced the activity of ${\alpha}-amylase$ whereas PMSF enhanced the activity. ${\alpha}-Amylase$ was inhibited by several heavy metal ions.

  • 순수 Mo와 Mo-Nb, Mo-Ta($\leq$10 at% Nb. Ta)합금을 1,500-2,06$0^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 탄소의 고용도를 연구하였다. 특수한 침탄방법으로 C2H2를 시편에 침탄한후 열처리하여 부분적으로 석출하거나 완전석출에 관계없는 화학적 분석방법으로 행하였다. 순수 Mo에서 최대탄소 고용도는 logCCmax = 7.02-9,490/T이다. Nb, Ta를 미량첨가하여 탄소의 최대 고용도는 Arrhenius 식을 적용할 수 없다. Nb-, Ta- 농도와 온도에 따라 Mo2C와 Nb-,Ta-를 함유한 여러 가지 탄화물상을 만들거나 $\alpha$고용체와 Mo가 포함된 NbC, TaC와 평형상태를 나타나기 때문이다. 실험온도 범위에서 Nb, Ta를 첨가량을 증가하면 탄화물 내부에 NbC, TaC로 석출된다. 고온에 용해된 a-고용체는 150-200 oK/Min으로 냉각하면 석출물은 결정입계나 결정내부에 나타난다. 순수 Mo에 Nb, Ta를 첨가하여도 경도, 파괴실험에서와 같이 인장강도는 크게 증가하지 않는다.

  • In this paper, we compare the QoS performance enhancement schemes according to the network architecture of mobile WiMAX system in order to improve the end-to-end QoS performance and propose QoS parameter mapping method and IP packet scheduling algorithm. To evaluate the end-to-end QoS performance, we implemented an end-to-end simulator of mobile WiMAX system using OPNET. Simulation results show that the proposed QoS parameter mapping scheme reduces the average delay of VoIP packet and improves uplink resource efficiency. And also, when the proposed IP packet scheduling algorithm is applied to the system, the end-to-end packet transmission delay of VoIP service can be reduced by 44-67 percent compared to FIFO and WRR scheduler.

  • The ultraviolet absorption spectra of AcBr lignin (Acetyl Bromide lignin) from 10 species grown in Mt. Jiri were determined. There were 3 peak positions, at 249nm (max peak), at 267-268 nm (shallow min. peak) and at 280 nm (lower max. peak). The Bjorkman lignin and lignin sulfonic acid spectra had shoulders, but the AcBr lignin had not them. Average absorbances and absorptivities of the AcBr lignins at peak positions were $0.367{\pm}0.0015$, $24.56{\pm}0.0535$, at 249 nm, $0.278{\pm}0.0016$, $18.50{\pm}0.0569$, at 267-268 nm and $0.306{\pm}0.0016$, $20.42{\pm}0.0627$ at 280 nm, respectively.

  • This paper proposes a deterministic optimization algorithm to solve economic load dispatch problem with quadratic convex fuel cost function. The proposed algorithm primarily partitions a generator with prohibited zones into multiple generators so as to place them afield the prohibited zone. It then sets initial values to $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i^{max}$ and reduces power generation costs of those incurring the maximum unit power cost. It finally employs a swap optimization process of $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i-{\beta}$, $P_j{\leftarrow}P_j+{\beta}$ where $_{max}\{F(P_i)-F(P_i-{\beta})\}$ > $_{min}\{F(P_j+{\beta})-F(P_j)\}$, $i{\neq}j$, ${\beta}=1.0,0.1,0.01,0.001$. When applied to 3 different 15-generator cases, the proposed algorithm has consistently yielded optimized results compared to those of heuristic algorithms.

  • Cooperative relaying systems have been studied actively to improve the system performance effectively in wireless fading channels. Most of the cooperative relay studies are assumed fixed relay, recently the performance analysis of the cooperative relaying systems with spatially random relays considering the practical mobile environment are introduced. However the comparative studies for relay selection methods of incremental cooperative relay systems, the performance of which is influenced by the selection methods, have not been studied. Therefore we derive the performance of the system which has MRC(Maximal-ratio combining) with Max SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) selection or Max-min SNR selection, respectively. And the outage performances of the system with Max or Max-min selection method are compared for different transmit power allocation to the source and to the relays. The analytical results serve as useful tools for relay selection and power allocation to transmit nodes for opportunistic incremental relaying systems.

  • This study was performed to investigate the hemodynamic changes which occur after occlusion of coronary artery and relation to reperfusion arrhythmias(RA) which occur when occlusion materials were removed form coronary artery in dogs. The occlusion of coronary artery was designed by temporary ligation of left circumflex branch of coronary artery during 30 minutes in 16 dogs. During occlusion of coronary artery, cardiac output(CO), mean aortic pressure (mAP), aortic systolic pressure(ASP), aortic diastolic pressure(ADP). left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP), left ventricular maximum dp/dt (LV max. dp/dt) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured. The occurrence of RA were observed for 5 minute after reperfusion by explained of ligation. As a results, cardiac arrest occurred in 4 dogs during occlusion of coronary artery, and RA was not observed in 5 dogs while it was seen in 5 dogs when explained ligation(reperfusion) after 30 minutes, the rest 2 dogs occurred temporary tachycardia. In hemodynamics changes, LVSP decreased by 10.9% and LV max. dp/dt by 5.4 % in comparison to control value which not ligated coronary artery, and LVEDP increased by 73.3%. The CO/min and mAP also decreased by 10.7% and by 11.3% expectedly. In the relationship to occurrence RA and hemodynamics changes, the LVSP and LV max. dp/dt at the time of occlusion in the RA group decreased by 11.9% and 0.8% in comarison to the control value while the decrease was 7.7% and 10% in the non-RA group. But the LVEDP in creased by 109.1% in the RA group while the decreased was 44.6% in the non-RA group. Referring CO/min, the drop was 8.8% in the RA occurrence group and 12.9% in the non-occurence group. These parameters of LVEDP, LV max. dp/dt, and CO were significant difference(p<0.05). The mAP also decreased by 11.9 in the RA group and by 9.8% in the non-RA group, but these defference were not the significant difference.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of oriental herbal drink to improve aerobic capacity in elite endurance runners. 14 male elite college runners were participated and divided into two group; i ) oriental herbal drink group (OG), ii ) placebo group (PG). All subjects were completed treadmill exercise protocol using GXT at before (B) and after (A) experimental treatment of one week. The V02max, anaerobic threshold (AT) were measured by gas analysis and heart rate (HR) were measure by polar system at pre, max, post, post 30 min and post 60 min. Blood samples were collected to analyze blood components. The V02max were significantly increased in OGA compared to OGB whereas the V02max and AT in OGA were significantly higher than PGA. The blood lactate concentration were shown higher decrease rate in OGA compared to Doth OGB and PGA during recovery whereas LDH and Na were significantly increased in OGA compared to both OGB and PGA. The blood concentrations of CI and K were significantly increased in OGA compared to PGA. There were no significant differences were founded in WBC, RBC, Hct, Hb and other components associated with energy sources(glucose, TG, TC, HDL, LDL, creatinine, CPK). These results suggested that this oriental herbal drink can be administrated to improve aerobic capacity in long distance runners.

  • The purpose of this work was to investigate pharmacokinetics of alcohol as a function of dose and time of administration of ethanol. The pharmacokinetics of alcohol 15 min after and before oral administration of aspartate-containing compositions to rats were also evaluated. The retention time of acetaldehyde, alcohol and isopropyl alcohol an internal standard in gas chromatogram was 3.6, 6.0 and 10.5 min, respectively. The maximum concentration of alcohol $(C_{max})$ and area under the blood concentration (AUC) were significanly increased as a function of ethanol dose in a nonlinear fashion. The significant diurnal variation of alcohol pharmacokinetics was also noted, showing fast metabolism and elimination when given orally in the night time. When APAP was given after administration alcohol (1g/kg) to rats, AUC and $C_{max}$ were increased when compared to alcohol only. However, AUC and $C_{max}$ were decreased when aspartate or standard complex compositions containing aceaminophen (APAP, 250mg). sodium L-aspartate(25 mg), dl-methionine (125 mg) and anhydrous caffeine (25 mg) was orally given by coupling malate/asparate shuttle in hepatocyte. The blood alcohol concentration profiles between aspartate and standard complex compositions were similar when given before or after administration alcohol (1g/kg) to rats. No significant difference of administration sequence was observed. However, it was noted that AUC and $C_{max}$ of standard complex compositions given before alcohol administration were significantly lower when compared with alcohol only. Based on these findings, dose, time of administration and composition of drugs to improve alcohol metabolism and elimination were considered to be important in the pharmacokinetics of alcohol. The administration sequence of drug compositions and alcohol might be also considerd.
