Recently, the detection of pH with real-time and in vivo has been focal pointed in the environmental or medical fields. In this work, we developed the pH sensor using graphene sheet. Graphene has high biocompatibility. We fabricated flexible solution-gated field-effect transistors (SGFETs) on graphene sheet transferred on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to detect pH in electrolyte solution. The gate length was $500{\mu}m$ and the gate width was 8 mm. We evaluated the current-voltage (I-V) transfer characteristics of graphene SGFETs in pH solution. The drain-source current ($I_{DS}$) and the gate-source voltage ($V_{GS}$) curves of graphene SGFETs were depended on pH value. The Dirac point of graphene SGFETs linearly shifted to the positive direction about 19.32 mV/pH depending on the pH value in electrolyte solution.

The isolates, which has caused considerable damage to the olive flounder farm located in the eastern coast of Korea showed 99% sequence homology in the comparison of 16s rRNA gene of P. damselae subsp. damselae ATCC 33539. The present P. damselae was identical to the biotype No.8 in Pedersen et al. (1997) and the same LPS protein pattern as P. damselac subsp. damselae ATCC 33539. The comparison of infection rates among present P. damselae and Vibrio spp. showed that isolated P. damselae was the highest, followed by V. anguillarium, V. harveyi. and V. ordalii.

The effects of adenosine triphosphate(ATP) on salivary glands have been recognized since 1982. The presence of purinergic recepetors(P2Rs) that mediate the effects of ATP in various tissues, including parotid and submandibular salivary gland, has been supported by the cloning of receptor cDNAs and the expression of the receptor proteins. P2Rs have many subtypes, and the activation of these receptor subtypes increase intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, a key ion in the regulation of the secretion in the salivary gland. The apical pores of taste buds in circumvallate and foliate papillae are surrounded by the saliva from von Ebner salivary gland(vEG). Thus, it is important how the secretion of vEG is controlled. This study was designed to elucidate the roles of P2Rs on salivary secretion of vEG. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (about 200 g) were used for this experiment. vEG-rich tissues were obtained from dissecting $500-1,000\;{\mu}m$ thick posterior tongue slices under stereomicroscope view. P2Rs mRNA in vEG acinar cells were identified with RT-PCR. To observe the change in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ activity, we employed $Ca^{2+}-ion$ specific fluorescence analysis with fura-2. Single acinar cells and cell clusters were isolated by a sequential trypsin/collagenase treatment and were loaded with $10\;{\mu}M$ fura -2 AM for 60 minutes at room temperature. Several agonists and antagonists were used to test a receptor specificity. RT-PCR revealed that the mRNAs of $P2X_4$, $P2Y_1$, $P2Y_2$ and $P2Y_3$ are expressed in vEG acinar cells. The intracellular calcium activity was increased in response to $10\;{\mu}M$ ATP, a P2Rs agonist, and 2-MeSATP, a $P2Y_1$ and $P2Y_2R$ agonist. However, $300\;{\mu}M\;{\alpha}{\beta}-MeATP$, a $P2X_1$ and $P2X_3R$ agonist, did not elicit the response. The responses elicited by $10\;{\mu}M$ ATP and UTP, a $P2Y_2R$ agonists, were maintained when extracellular calcium was removed. $10\;{\mu}M$ suramin, a P2XR antagonist, and reactive blue 2, a P2YR antagonist, partially blocked ATP-induced response. However, when extracellular calciums were removed, suramin did not abolish the responses elicited by ATP. These results suggest that P2Rs play an important role in salivary secretion of vEG acinar cells and the effects of ATP on vEG salivary secretion may be mediated by $P2X_4$, $P2Y_1$, $P2Y_2$, and/or $P2Y_3$.

Consider a graph G of order n and maximum degree ${\Delta}$. Let $f:V(G){\rightarrow}\{0,1,{\cdots},{\lceil}{\frac{{\Delta}}{2}}{\rceil}+1\}$ be a function that labels the vertices of G. Let $B_0=\{v{\in}V(G):f(v)=0\}$. The function f is a strong Roman dominating function for G if every $v{\in}B_0$ has a neighbor w such that $f(w){\geq}1+{\lceil}{\frac{1}{2}}{\mid}N(w){\cap}B_0{\mid}{\rceil}$. In this paper, we study the bounds on strong Roman domination numbers of the Cartesian product $P_m{\square}P_k$ of paths $P_m$ and paths $P_k$. We compute the exact values for the strong Roman domination number of the Cartesian product $P_2{\square}P_k$ and $P_3{\square}P_k$. We also show that the strong Roman domination number of the Cartesian product $P_4{\square}P_k$ is between ${\lceil}{\frac{1}{3}}(8k-{\lfloor}{\frac{k}{8}}{\rfloor}+1){\rceil}$ and ${\lceil}{\frac{8k}{3}}{\rceil}$ for $k{\geq}8$, and that both bounds are sharp bounds.

Measurements were made of pressure rise time (PoRT), voice cessation time, flattened peak intraoral air pressure (Po), pressure static time (PoST), pressure-fall time and the duration of oral closure as four English speakers uttered isolated nonsense $V_{1}CV_{2}$ words containing /b/ and /p/ ($V_{1}=V_{2}$ and the V was /$\alpha$/), with stress on either $V_{1}orV_{2}$ alternately. The hypothesis tested was: The tense stop consonant. will be characterized either by a higher Po or a longer PoST, and/or by both against lax. Findings: (1) PoRT was significantly greater in /b/ than /p/, (2) the voiceless stop /p/ produced generally greater mean Po, averaged across five tokens, than its voiced counterpart /b/, but statistically insignificant, and (3) altogether, across stress, tokens and subjects, the difference in the calculated pressure static time (PoSTc), i.e., PoST + PoRT, between /p/ and /b/ was highly significant (p $\leq$ 0.003). Although further investigations remain to be taken, the results strongly supported the linguistic hypothesis of tense-lax distinction, with /b/ being lax and /p/ tense. Airflow resistance at the glottis and supraglottal air volume are assumed to be responsible for much of difference in PoRT between /p/ and /b/. The PoSTc reflecting, although indirectly, the respiratory efforts during the oral closure of a stop, was a convincing phonetic parameter of the consonantal tenseness based on respiratory efforts. The effects of stress on Po and PoSTc were inconsistent, and the shorter PoRT than consonantal constriction interval was always accompanied by Po and PoST.

In this paper, we mainly study the random sampling and reconstruction of signals living in the subspace V^p(𝚽, 𝚲) of L^p(ℝ^d), which is generated by a family of molecules 𝚽 located on a relatively separated subset 𝚲 ⊂ ℝ^d. The space V^p(𝚽, 𝚲) is used to model signals with finite rate of innovation, such as stream of pulses in GPS applications, cellular radio and ultra wide-band communication. The sampling set is independently and randomly drawn from a general probability distribution over ℝ^d. Under some proper conditions for the generators 𝚽 = {𝜙_λ : λ ∈ 𝚲} and the probability density function 𝜌, we first approximate V^p(𝚽, 𝚲) by a finite dimensional subspace V^p_N (𝚽, 𝚲) on any bounded domains. Then, we prove that the random sampling stability holds with high probability for all signals in V^p(𝚽, 𝚲) whose energy concentrate on a cube when the sampling size is large enough. Finally, a reconstruction algorithm based on random samples is given for signals in V^p_N (𝚽, 𝚲).

To investigate the possibility of using alkalophilic Bacillus sp. K-11 as a host for molecular cloning, plasmid pUB110 and pBD64 were introduced into alkalophilic Bacillus sp. K-17 by protoplast transformation system. Protoplasts of Bacillus sp. K-11 were prepared by treatment with 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ Iysozyme in SMM buffer containing 0.4M sucrose. Optimal temperature, pH and culture time for protoplast formation were 4$0^{\circ}C$, 7.0 and 4hrs, respectively. Cell wall was regenerated efficiently on DM3 medium containing 0.8% agar and 0.5M sodium succinate. Under these conditions for protoplast formation and regeneration, the highest transformation efficiency was obtained with cells incubated for 4hrs, and using 30%(V/V) of 40%(W/V) PEG6,000, In characteristics of transfer-mants, plasmid pUB110 was more stable than plasmid pBD64 in Bacillus sp. K-17. Maximum xylanase production of both transformants carrying pUB110 and pBD64, respectively was similar, but under the same conditions, enzyme secretion by transformant carrying pUB110 was earlier than that of transformant carrying pBD64.

Fried instant noodles, manufactured on laboratory scale, preserved in sunlight, room temperature, removed package, at $30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and corrugated fiber board box to investigate the oxidative stability of fried products under a few factors of storage for 150 days. And obtained results were as follow. 1) Peroxide value P.O.V. and Acid value A.V. of fried instant noodles were increased slightly during the storage in orange color polycello package in the corrugated fiber board box in the dark room as shown in Fig. 1 and 2. They had not rancid odor and showed P.O.V. 18.8 after 150 days. 2) Preserving in room temperature removed package or with polycello package exposed to sunlight, P.O.V. and A.V. increased rapidly up to 100, 5 and they had rancid odor within 30 days. 3) Peroxide value showed increasing tendency on the storage at $30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and scattered light and rancid odor appeared from 90 to 120 days. 4) As peroxide value and refractive index increased, iodine value were decreased as Fig. 3. 5) In these test, P.O.V. is correlated with the organoleptic evaluation of rancidity however, they were not coincided exactly.

In this paper, for any two bipartite ordered sets P and Q, we define the convolution P * Q of P and Q. For dim(P)=s and dim(Q)=t, we prove that s+t-(U+V)-2 dim(P*Q) s+t-(U+V)+2, where U+V is the max-mn integer of the certain realizers. In particular, we also prove that dim(P)=n+k- {{{{ { n+k} over {3 } }}}} for 2 k n<2k and dim(Pn ,k)=n for n 2k, where Pn,k=Sn*Sk is the convolution of two standard ordered sets Sn and Sk.
