The objectives of this study were to investigate physiological and psychological responses to the rustling sound of Korean traditional silk fabrics and to figure out objective measurements such as sound parameters and mechanical properties determining the human responses. Five different traditional silk fabrics were selected by cluster analysis and their sound characteristics were observed in terms of FFT spectra and some calculated sound parameters including level pressure of total sound (LPT), Zwicker's psychoacoustic parameters - loudness(Z), sharpness(Z), roughness(Z), and fluctuation strength(Z), and sound color factors such as ${\Delta}L\;and\;{\Delta}f$. As physiological signals, the ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) from the power spectrum of heart rate variability, pulse volume (PV), heart rate (HR), and skin conductance level (SCL) evoked by the fabric sounds were measured from thirty participants. Also, seven aspects of psychological state including softness, loudness, sharpness, roughness, clearness, highness, and pleasantness were evaluated when each sound was presented. The traditional silk fabric sounds were likely to be felt as soft and pleasant rather than clear and high, which seemed to evoke less change of both LF/HF and SCL indicating a negative sensation than other fabrics previously reported. As fluctuation strength(Z) were higher and bending rigidity (B) values lower, the fabrics tended to be perceived as sounding softer, which resulted in increase of PV changes. The higher LPT was concerned with higher rating for subjective loudness so that HR was more increased. Also, compression linearity (LC) affected subjective pleasantness positively, which caused less changes of HR. Therefore, we concluded that such objective measurements as LPT, fluctuation strength(Z), bending rigidity (B), and compression linearity (LC) were significant factors affecting physiological and psychological responses to the sounds of Korean traditional silk fabrics.

A novel protease gene from Bacillus gibsonii, aprBG, was cloned, expressed in B. subtilis, and characterized. High-level expression of aprBG was achieved in the recombinant strain when a junction was present between the promoter and the target gene. The purified recombinant enzyme exhibited similar N-terminal sequences and catalytic properties to the native enzyme, including high affinity and hydrolytic efficiency toward various substrates and a superior performance when exposed to various metal ions, surfactants, oxidants, and commercial detergents. AprBG was remarkably stable in 50% organic solvents and retained 100% activity and stability in 0-4 M NaCl, which is better than the characteristics of previously reported proteases. AprBG was most closely related to the high-alkaline proteases of the subtilisin family with a 57-68% identity. The secretion and maturation mechanism of AprBG was dependent on the enzyme activity, as analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis. Thus, when taken together, the results revealed that the halo-solvent-tolerant protease AprBG displays significant activity and stability under various extreme conditions, indicating its potential for use in many biotechnology applications.

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that severely affect crop production throughout the world; especially rice plant which is generally categorized as a typical glycophyte as it cannot grow in the presence of salinity. Phenotypic resistance of salinity is expressed as the ability to survive and grow in a salinity condition. Salinity resistance has, at least implicitly, been treated as a single trait. Physiological studies of rice suggest that a range of characteristics (such as low shoot sodium concentration, compartmentation of salt in older rather than younger leaves, high potassium concentration, high $K^+/Na^+$ ratio, high biomass and plant vigour) would increase the ability of the plant to cope with salinity. Criteria for evaluating and screening salinity tolerance in crop plants vary depending on the level and duration of salt stress and the plant developmental stage. Plant growth responses to salinity vary with plant life cycle; critical stages sensitive to salinity are germination, seedling establishment and flowering. We have established a standard protocol to evaluate large rice germplasms for overall performance based on specific physiological traits for salt tolerance at seedling stage. This protocol will help in identifying germplasms which can perform better in the presence of different salinity treatments based on single trait and also combination of different physiological traits. The salt tolerant germplasm can be taken forward into developing better varieties by conventional breeding and exploring genes for salt tolerance.

Psychoacoustic characteristics of automobile horns play significant role in resulting subjective evaluation and psychphysiological reactions. However, comparison and differentiation of physiological responses to commercially available horns is a complicated task due to the small contrast in technical features of horns and the influence of such processes as habituation on physiological outcome with the increased number of auditory stimulation trials. In a study on 10 college students, there was performed comparative analysis of reactivity of physiological responses mediated by central and autonomic nervous systems in order to identify the role of habituation on decrement of psychophysiological responsivity and assess the ability to differentiate subjectively most and least preferred, as well as most and least appropriate horns according to physiological manifestations. The EEG and autonomic responses to 7 automobile horns were analyzed during 3 blocks of trials, with varying order of stimuli and changed acoustic parameters of horns in each block. Thus, responses were analyzed for totally 21 trials of auditory stimulation. It was shown that electrodermal and cardiovascular responses have different reactivity patterns to repeated stimulation: skin conductance measures habituated, cardiac reactivity showed no signs of habituation, and the vascular response demonstrated sensitization. The temporal EEG exhibited marked habituation of fast beta band power, while alpha-blocking effect did not habituate during the course of experiment. Differentiation of physiological responses of most and least preferred and appropriate horns was possible in our study, however, some cardiovascular reactivity measures differentiated during the entire course of the experiment, while EEG and electrodermal parameters showed significant differences only during first block of trials, and were later affected by the habituation.

도시와 자연에 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 미세먼지에 대한 저감 연구가 점점 심화되고 있다. 이에따른 미세먼지 저감 대책 중 하나로써 도시 수목의 미세먼지 저감 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이와 관련하여 미세먼지에 의한 도시 수목의 피해 반응 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 도시 수목 중 전나무(Abies holophylla), 중국단풍(Acer buergerianum), 소나무(Pinus densiflora), 굴참나무(Quercus variabilis)에 대하여 고농도 미세먼지 처리로 나타나는 피해반응을 조사하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 위 네 수종을 대상으로 식물생장조절챔버(phytotron)에서 시간 당 300 ㎍ m^-3 농도의 미세먼지를 처리하여 각 수종의 생리적, 생화학적 변화 반응과 잎의 흡착면적을 측정하였다. 그리고 순광합성량, 기공전도도, 증산률, 엽록소 함량, ROS, MDA, 잎의 흡착면적에 대해서 상관 분석을 진행하여 상호 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 수종마다 생리·생화학적 반응과 흡착면적이 종 특이적으로 나타났다. 순광합성량의 경우 전나무에서 가장 큰 감소세를 보였으며 소나무와 굴참나무는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 굴참나무는 ROS의 변화 또한 미미하였다. 모든 수종에서 MDA 함량이 공통적으로 증가하였다. 4주 처리 이후 흡착면적에서 전나무는 잎의 앞면, 소나무는 잎의 뒷면에 높은 면적량을 나타냈다. 상관성 분석 결과 생리적 반응 요인들 간에 양의 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였고, 잎의 앞면에 높은 흡착면적을 보일수록 생리적 반응에 부정적인 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 미세먼지 저감과 지속 가능한 도시 숲을 효율적으로 조성하기 위한 수종 선택의 기초 데이터를 제공한다.

정규식생지수(NDVI, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)는 생물량 및 $CO_2$ 흡수량 추정과 병충해 탐지 등 다양한 식생 모니터링 영역에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나, 생물량 탐지에 비해 상대적으로 식생의 생리적 상태 변화에 대한 민감도가 낮아 식생의 생리적 활성 및 스트레스를 파악에 한계가 있다. 최근 개발된 광학반사지수(PRI, Photochemical Reflectance Index)는 식생의 생리적 상태 탐지에 용이한 것으로 알려지고 있으며, 식생의 탄소 흡수량 조사를 위해 향후 발사될 해외의 지구관측위성들의 주요 산출물로 선정되는 등 활용도가 높아질 것으로 전망된다. 이에 다양한 이용에 앞서 광 스트레스에 민감한 PRI 특성을 고려하여 그림자 영향의 해석 방향을 제시하고, 현재 가용한 위성으로 PRI 산출이 가능한지 알아보기 위해 대체 밴드를 평가하였다. 항공 초분광 영상을 이용한 본 연구에서는 PRI값이 그림자 부분에서 광 스트레스의 감소로 인해 증가하였다. 그러나 그림자의 정도가 임계값(Shadow Index<25)을 넘어서면 PRI와 NDVI 모두의 자료 품질이 매우 낮아졌다. 또한, 문헌의 570.0 nm 대신 553.6 nm를 사용하여 산출한 PRI가 오리지널 PRI와 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, RED와 NIR 반사도를 이용하여 다중회귀분석을 수행하였을 때 더욱 향상된 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 향후 식생탐지에서 활용도가 높아질 것으로 기대되는 PRI의 생리적인 의미를 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of short road transportation in an open truck during hot season on live weight shrink, physiological responses, and carcass and meat quality of Omani sheep at 6 and 12 months of age. Thirty-six male sheep, 18 of each age group, were used. Age groups were assigned randomly to transported and not-transported groups. The transported group was transported to the slaughterhouse the day of slaughter in an open truck covering a distance of approximately 100 km. The average temperature during transportation was $37^{\circ}C$. The not-transported group was kept in a lairage of a commercial slaughterhouse with ad libitum feed and water for 48 h prior to slaughter. Blood samples were collected from sheep before loading and prior to slaughter via jugular venipuncture to assess their physiological response to transport in relation to hormonal levels. Animals were weighed just before loading onto a truck and after transport to assess shrinkage. Muscle ultimate pH, expressed juice, cooking loss percentage, WB-shear force value, sarcomere length and colour L*, a*, b* were measured on samples from longissimus dorsi, biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles collected at 24 h postmortem at $1-3^{\circ}C$. Live weight shrinkage losses were 1.09 and 1.52 kg for 6 and 12 month transported sheep, respectively. The transported sheep had significantly (p<0.05) higher cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine concentration levels prior to slaughter at both ages than the not-transported sheep. Transportation significantly influenced meat quality characteristics of three muscles. Muscle ultimate pH and shear force values were significantly higher, while CIE L*, a*, b*, expressed juice and cooking loss were lower in transported than not-transported sheep. Age had a significant effect on meat quality characteristics of Omani sheep. These results indicated that short-term pre-slaughter transport at high ambient temperatures can cause noticeable changes in physiological and muscle metabolism responses in sheep.

Candida tropicalis was treated with ultraviolet (UV) rays, and the mutants obtained were screened for xylitol production. One of the mutants, the UV1 produced 0.81g of xylitol per gram of xylose. This was further mutated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), and the mutants obtained were screened for xylitol production. One of the mutants (CT-OMV5) produced 0.85g/g of xylitol from xylose. Xylitol production improved to 0.87 g/g of xylose with this strain when the production medium was supplemented with urea. The CT-OMV5 mutant strain differs by 12 tests when compared to the wild-type Candida tropicalis strain. The XR activity was higher in mutant CT-OMV5. The distinct difference between the mutant and wild-type strain is the presence of numerous chlamvdospores in the mutant. In this investigation, we have demonstrated that mutagenesis was successful in generating a superior xylitol-producing strain, CT-OMV5, and uncovered distinctive biochemical and physiological characteristics of the wild-type and mutant strain, CT-OMV5.
