Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) is one of the hydrogen degradation phenomena of linepipe steels caused by $H_2S$ gas in the crude oil or natural gas. However, NACE TM0284-96 standard HIC test method is hard to satisfy the steel requirements for sour service application since it uses more severe environmental conditions than actual conditions. Therefore, in order to use steels effectively, it is required to evaluate HIC resistance of steels in the practical range of environmental severity. In this study, HIC resistance of two high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels being used as line pipe steels was evaluated in various test solutions with different $H_2S$ pressures and pH values. The results showed that the key parameter affecting crack area ratio (CAR) is $H_2S$ partial pressure of test solution when the pH value of test solution is not over 4. Hydrogen diffusivity was not a constant value, but it was rather affected by the hydrogen ion concentration (pH value) in the solution.

Plagiorchis muris has been found in both been found in both house and field rats as well as in humans. The infection status of th second intermediate hosts of P.muris is prerequisite in understanding their biological features in an ecosystem. Six species of dragonflies were caught in a wide range of areas in Korea;and they were Sympertrum darwinianum, S.eroticum, S. pedomontanum, S. infuscatum, Pantala flavoscens, Caloteryx atrata, and Othertrum albistylum speciosum. The occurrence of P. muris metacercariae in dragonflies was nationwide with various infection rates. The metacercarial burden of P. muris in the surveyed areas was the highest in S. eroticum followed by S. darwinianum, S. pedomontanum, and C. atrata. The highest infection rate by P. muris metacercariae was found in S. darwinianum followed by S. eroticum. The metacercarial buredn was particularly heavy in the dragonflies found in Hamyang-gun and Kosong-gun, Kyongsangnam-do. It is, therefore, likely that dragonflies play a significant role as the second intermediate hose in the life cycle of P. muris in Korea.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase [CGTase, E.C.2.4.1.19] is an extracellular enzyme, which catalyzes he formation of ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$- CDs from starch. Their proportions of formations depend on enzyme sources and reaction conditions. To understand what determines the product specificity of CGTases, we examined the alteration of product specificity of CGTase from Bacillus macerans by organic solvent sand pH. At acidic pH range less than pH 6 where the enzyme was unstable, the ratio of ${\alpha}$-/ ${\beta}$-CD production was increased 4 times more than that at neutral pH range. As we increased the concentration of 2-butanol, ${\alpha}$-/ ${\beta}$-CD ratio was proportionally increased but / ratio remained constant. The ${\alpha}$-/ ${\beta}$-CD ratio of products was increased in the reaction media which yielded low products.

The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of noodle dough made with biji powder (2, 4, 6 and 8%). Increase in the amount of biji powder significantly increases the water-binding capacity and decreases lightness (L) (p<0.05). The changes of redness (a), yellowness (b) and size of pore were insignificant. In the case of raw noodle, hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness of raw noodle significantly increased with increasing concentrations of the biji powder (p<0.05). Hardness of cooked noodle increased according with increase in concentration of biji (p<0.05). Springiness was increased up to 4% of biji concentration and slightly decreased at higher concentrations (p<0.05). Adhesiveness and cohesiveness of cooked noodle decreased according with increase in concentration of biji (p<0.05). The was no significant changes in the gumminess and chewiness. Taken together, addition of 4.0% biji powder to noodle dough may improve the preference of noodles.

현재 네트워크 보안을 위한 방화벽과공용 IP 주소 부족 문제를 발견하기 위한 NAT의 사용이 일반화되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 환경에서는 기본적으로 서로 다른 방화벽/NAT 내에 있는 사용자들 간의 상호 연결이 불가능하기 때문에 제한된 서비스들만이 제공되어질 가능성이 있다. 이러한 문제점은 서로 다른 피어들간에 직접 연결을 하여 서비스를 주고받는 순수 P2P 환경에서는 각종 서비스의 제공에 근 방해 요소로 작용 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 P2P 환경에서 방화벽/NAT 내에 있지 않은 피어들 중 네트워크 트래픽이 적은 피어를 동적으로 선정하여 프락시-서버를 할당한 후 이를 피어들의 통신 매개체로 사용하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 운영체제 독립적이고, 양방항 통신을 가능하게 해주며, 기존의 클라이언트-서버 환경에서 프락시-서버로 집중될 수 있는 네트워크 그래픽을 여러 피어들에게 분산시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

In this study, we developed a cost and time saving one-step multiplex RT-PCR for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of swine influenza viruses (SIV) and 2009 pandemic influenza H1N1 virus (pH1N1). The one-step multiplex RT-PCR using four sets of primer was confirmed to be capable of detection of all SIV subtypes and differential diagnosis of major SIV subtype H1, H3 and pH1N1 on individual or mixed viral culture samples. The sensitivity of the multiplex RT-PCR was determined to be at least $2^{-6}$ $HA/25{\mu}L$ of the presented SIVs, providing sufficient efficacy for a routine SIV monitoring in diagnostic laboratories. In addition, compared with the conventional RT-PCR methods that cannot avoid the carryover DNA contamination, the developed RT-PCR applied with the uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) system was proven to prevent a false positive reaction by carryover contamination of the pre-amplified DNA. In conclusion, the one-step RT-PCR with UNG system could be applicable to detect and differentiate of SIV from the viral cultures without worry of carryover DNA contamination in clinical laboratories.

CEN1, CEN2, CEN1P, and CEN2P were very stable to the ${\beta}-lactamase$ obtained from three strains(Enterobacter cloacae P99, Escherichia coli TEM, and Citrobacter freundii). Chemotherapeutic activities$(ED_{50})$ of CEN2 and CEN2P against experimental systemic infections due to Streptococcus pyogenes 77A and Escherichia coli 078 were superior to those of CEN1 and CEN1P, respectively. The $ED_{50}$ values of CEN1, CEN2 were 5.82 mg/kg, 0.89 mg/kg(s.c., S. pyogenes 77A) while those of CEN1P, CEN2P were 14.56mg/kg, 6.40mg/kg(p.o., S. pyogenes 77A), respectively. The pharmacokinetics of CEN1, CEN2, CEN1P, and CEN2P were investigated in mice and rats. In mice, peak blood levels of $1.25\;{\mu}g/ml$ were recorded within 20 min after oral administration of a single dose equivalent to 40 mg/kg CEN1P. Cmax of CEN1P was much higher than that of CEN1 in mice and rats. Oral absorption of CEN2P was much higher than that of CEN2.
