  • We have previously shown that H-ras, but N-ras, induces an invasiveness and cell motility in human breast epithelial cells (MCFl0A), while both H-ras and N-ras induce transformed phenotype. It has been recently shown that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) plays an important role on cell migration. In the present study, we wished to investigate the functional role of PI3K in H-ras-induced invasive phenotype in MCF10A cells.(omitted)

  • A random vector =(X1,…, Xn) is conditionally weakly associated if and only if for every pair of partitions 1=(X$\pi$(k+1),…,X$\pi$(k)), 2=(X$\pi$(k+1),…,X$\pi$(n)) of P(1$\in$A│2$\in$B, $\theta$$\in$I) $\geq$P$\in$A│$\theta$$\in$I whenever A and B are open upper sets and $\pi$ is any permutation of {1,…,n}. In this note we develop some concepts of conditional positive dependence, which are weaker than conditional weak association but stronger than conditional positive orthant dependence, by requiring the above inequality to hold only for some upper sets and applying the arguments in Shaked (1982).

  • An improved method for the preparation of g-$C_3N_4$ is described. Currently, heating (> $400^{\circ}C$) of urea is the common method used for preparing the g-$C_3N_4$. We have found that sonication of melamine in $HNO_3$ solution, followed by washing with anhydrous ethanol, not only reduce the crystallite size of g-$C_3N_4$ but also facilitate intriguing electronic structure and photoluminescence (PL) properties. Moreover, loading of metal (Pt and Ag) nanoparticles, by applying the borohydride reduction method, has resulted in multicolor-emission from g-$C_3N_4$. With the help of PL spectra and local electronic structure study, at C K-edge, N K-edge, Pt L-edge and Ag K-edge by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), a precise mechanism of tunable luminescence is established. The PL mechanism ascribes the amendments in the transitions, via defect and/or metal states assimilation, between the ${\pi}^*$ states of tris-triazine ring of g-$C_3N_4$ and lone pair states of nitride. It is evidenced that interaction between the C/N 2p and metal 4d/5d orbitals of Ag/Pt has manifested a net detraction in the ${\delta}^*{\rightarrow}LP$ transitions and enhancement in the ${\pi}^*{\rightarrow}LP$ and ${\pi}^*{\rightarrow}{\pi}$ transitions, leading to broad PL spectra from g-$C_3N_4$ organic semiconductor compound.

  • M2PI is an active single chain mini-proinsulin with a 9-residue linker containing the turn-forming sequence 'YPGDV' between the B- and A-chains, but which retains about 50% of native insulin receptor binding activity. The refolding efficiency of M2PI is higher than proinsulin by 20-40% at alkaline pH, and native insulin is generated by the enzymatic conversion of M2PI. The solution structure of M2PI was determined by NMR spectroscopy. The global structure of M2PI is similar to that of native insulin, but the flexible linker between the B- and A-chains perturbed the N-terminal A-chain and C-terminal B-chain. The helix in the N-terminal A-chain is partly perturbed and the ${\beta}$-turn in the B-chain is disrupted in M2PI. However, the linker between the two chains was completely disordered indicating that the designed turn was not formed under the experimental conditions (20% acetic acid). Considering the fact that an insulin analogue, directly cross-linked between the C-terminus of the B-chain and the N-terminus of the A-chain, has negligible binding activity, a flexible linker between the two chains is sufficient to keep binding activity of M2PI, but the perturbed secondary structures are detrimental to receptor binding.

  • 리튬이차전지 실리콘 전극에 활용하기 위해, 유기용매에 용해성이 있는 폴리이미드(Polyimide, PI) 고분자 바인더를 두 단계 반응을 이용해 합성하였다. 두 가지 단량체(Bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic Dianhydride (BCDA)와 4,4-oxydianiline (ODA))의 개환 반응 및 축합 반응을 통해 PI 고분자 바인더를 합성하였다. 합성된 PI 고분자 바인더를 이용해 실리콘(silicon, Si) 음극 전극을 제조하였다. 또한 비교군으로써, Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)을 고분자 바인더로 사용하는 동일 조성을 가진 실리콘 전극을 제조하였다. PI 바인더를 사용한 Si 전극($2167mAh\;g^{-1}$)의 초기 쿨롱 효율은 기존 PVDF 바인더 조성의 Si 전극($1,740mAh\;g^{-1}$)과 유사했지만, 방전용량은 크게 개선되었다. 특히 수명 특성에서는 PI 바인더를 사용한 Si 전극이 우수한 특성을 나타내었는데, 이는 PI 바인더를 사용한 Si 전극접착력($0.217kN\;m^{-1}$)의 전극 접착력이 PVDF를 사용한 Si 전극($0.185kN\;m^{-1}$)보다 높아, 실리콘 부피팽창에 의한 전극 구조 열화가 적절히 제어되었기 때문이라고 판단된다. Si 전극 내의 접착력은 surface and interfacial cutting analysis system (SAICAS) 장비를 통해 검증하였다.

  • Nitrogen management at the panicle initiation stage(PI) should be fine-tuned for securing a concurrent high yield and high quality rice production. For calibration and testing of the recommendation models of N topdressing rates at PI for target grain yield and protein content of rice, three split-split-plot design experiments including five rice cultivars and various N rates were conducted at the experimental farm of Seoul National University, Korea from 2003 to 2005. Data from the first two years of experiments were used to calibrate models to predict grain yield and milled-rice protein content using shoot fresh weight(FW), chlorophyll meter value(SPAD), and the N topdressing rate(Npi) at PI by stepwise multiple regression. The calibrated models explained 85 and 87% of the variation in grain yield and protein content, respectively. The calibrated models were used to recommend Npi for the target protein content of 6.8%, with FW and SPAD measured for each plot in 2005. The recommended N rate treatment was characterized by an average protein content of 6.74%(similar to the target protein content), reduced the coefficient of variation in protein content to 2.5%(compared to 4.6% of the fixed rate treatment), and increased grain yield. In the recommended N rate treatments for the target protein content of 6.8%, grain yield was highly dependent on FW and SPAD at PI. In conclusion, the models for N topdressing rate recommendation at PI were successful under present experimental conditions. However, additional testing under more variable environmental conditions should be performed before universal application of such models.

  • By using density functional theory calculations, we have performed a systemic study on the electronic structures and topological properties of interactions between N-butylpyridinium nitrate ($[BPY]^+[NO_3]^-$) and thiophene (TS), benzothiophene (BT), dibenzothiophene (DBT), naphthalene (NAP). The most stable structure of $[BPY]^+[NO_3]^-$ ion pair indicates that hydrogen bonding interactions between oxygen atoms on $[NO_3]^-$ anion and C2-H2 on pyridinium ring play a dominating role in the formation of ion pair. The occurrence of hydrogen bonding, ${\pi}{\cdots}$H-C, and ${\pi}{\cdots}{\pi}$ interactions between $[BPY]^+[NO_3]^-$ and TS, BT, DBT, NAP has been corroborated at the molecular level. But hydrogen bonding and ${\pi}{\cdots}{\pi}$ interactions between $[BPY]^+[NO_3]^-$ and NAP are weak in terms of structural properties and NBO, AIM analyses. DBT is prior to adsorption on N-butylpyridinium nitrate ionic liquid.
