Using the belongs to relation (${\in}$) and quasi-coincidence with relation (q) between fuzzy points and fuzzy sets, the concept of (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-fuzzy subalgebras where ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ areany two of {${\in}$, q, ${\in}{\vee}q$, ${\in}{\wedge}q$} with ${\alpha}{\neq}{\in}{\wedge}q$ was already introduced, and related properties were investigated (see [3]). In this paper, we give a condition for an (${\in}$, ${\in}{\vee}q$)-fuzzy subalgebra to be an (${\in}$, ${\in}$)-fuzzy subalgebra. We provide characterizations of an (${\in}$, ${\in}{\vee}q$)-fuzzy subalgebra. We show that a proper (${\in}$, ${\in}$)-fuzzy subalgebra $\mathfrak{A}$ of X with additional conditions can be expressed as the union of two proper non-equivalent (${\in}$, ${\in}$)-fuzzy subalgebras of X. We also prove that if $\mathfrak{A}$ is a proper (${\in}$, ${\in}{\vee}q$)-fuzzy subalgebra of a CK/BCI-algebra X such that #($\mathfrak{A}(x){\mid}\mathfrak{A}(x)$ < 0.5} ${\geq}2$, then there exist two prope non-equivalent (${\in}$, ${\in}{\vee}q$)-fuzzy subalgebras of X such that $\mathfrak{A}$ can be expressed as the union of them.

Ubiquinone compounds of strains in Leucosporidium scottii, Leucosporidium fellii, Leucosporidium lari-marini, and Rhodosporidium fluviale were analyzed by the high performance liquid chromatography. The Q-9 or Q-l0 compounds, independent on mating or self-sporulating type, were determined in the analyses of Leucosporidium scottii strains. Particularly, there is heterogenous in the quinone compounds in the same strain of L. scottii. These results showed reassessment of the quinone compounds as a taxonomic criterion; L. fellii had the Q-9 compound, L. lari-marini the Q-8 compound, and R. fluviale the Q-10 compound, Taxonomic position of L. lari-marini should be elucidated on the basis of analysis of Q-compound with other aspects.

As with the binary pseudo-random sequences q-ary m-sequences possess very good properties which make them useful in many applications. So we construct a class of Jacket matrices by applying additive characters of the finite field $F_q$ to entries of all shifts of q-ary m-sequence. In this paper, we generalize a method of obtaining conventional Hadamard matrices from binary PN-sequences. By this way we propose Jacket matrix construction based on q-ary M-sequences.

By applying analytic method to the uniform model, the intrinsic and scattering quality factor ($Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$) was separated for the southeastern part of Korean Peninsula. The Multiple Lapse Time Window Analysis method was used to fit theoretical values with observations obtained 759 earthquake data. While previous study for the Korean Peninsula showed very low $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ reflecting inactive seismicity, southeastern Korea exhibited relatively high $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ values interpreted as higher seismicity than the other region in the peninsula.

본 연구는 Tobin-Q 비율(이하 토빈 Q, 또는 Q)을 이용하여 합병제의기업과 피합병대상기업을 합병전 경영성과의 우열에 따라 분류하고, 분류 집단별 초과수익률을 측정 검증함으로써 합병전 후의 합병관련기업의 합병효과를 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과를 보면 합병제의기업과 피합병기업 모두 합병 공시 후 양의 초과수익률을 얻는 것으로 나타났으며, 합병제의기업은 토빈 Q가 낮을수록 합병성과가 크게 나타났고, 피합병대상기업은 토빈 Q가 높을수록 합병성과가 크게 나타났다. 또한 합병제의기업과 피합병대상기업의 토빈 Q를 동시에 고려한 경우에는 합병제의기업의 Q가 높고 피합병대상기업의 Q가 낮으면, 합병성과가 작았고, 합병제의기업의 Q가 낮고 피합병대상기업의 Q가 높으면 합병성과가 높게 나타난다는 경향을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 경영성과가 좋은 합병제의기업이 대체적으로 이득을 보지만, 경영이 부실한 피합병대상기업을 인수할 때 더 많은 이득을 본다는 Lang, Stulz, Walkling(1989)의 연구결과는 상반되는 것이다. 또한 경영성과가 나쁜 기업을 합병함으로써 보다 많은 합병가치 창조가 가능하다는 Servaes(1991)의 연구결과와도 상반되는 것이다. 이러한 상반된 결과는 우리나라 현실에서 합병이 대개는 계열그룹내, 또는 지배회사와 피지배회사간의 합병이 주류를 이루고, 세법상 합병기업의 손실은 승계되지만 피합병기업의 손실은 승계되지 않으므로 형식상 합병제의기업과 피합병대상기입이 뒤바뀌는 경향이 많다는 점에서 그 원인을 추정할 수 있다.

We present a square root algorithm in $F_q$ which generalizes Atkin's square root algorithm [9] for finite field $F_q$ of q elements where $q{\equiv}5$ (mod 8) and Kong et al.'s algorithm [11] for the case $q{\equiv}9$ (mod 16). Our algorithm precomputes ${\xi}$ a primitive $2^s$-th root of unity where s is the largest positive integer satisfying $2^s|q-1$, and is applicable for the cases when s is small. The proposed algorithm requires one exponentiation for square root computation and is favorably compared with the algorithms of Atkin, M$\ddot{u}$ller and Kong et al.

Since the epigenetic alteration in tumor cells can be reversed by the dietary polyphenol quercetin (Q) or butyrate (B) with chemopreventive activity, suggesting that Q or B can be used for chemopreventive as well as therapeutic agent against tumors. In this study the polyphenol flavonoid quercetin (Q) or sodium butyrate (B) suppressed human esophageal 9706 cancer cell growth in dose dependent manner, and Q combined with B (Q+B) could further inhibit Eca9706 cell proliferation than that induced by Q or B alone, compared with untreated control group (C) in MTT assay. The reverse expressions of global DNMT1, $NF-{\kappa}Bp65$, HDAC1 and Cyclin D1 were down-regulated, while expressions of caspase-3 and $p16INK4{\alpha}$ were up-regulated, compared with the C group in immunoblotting; the down-regulated HDAC1-IR (-immunoreactivity) with nuclear translocation, and up-regulated E-cadherin-IR demonstrated in immunocytochemistry treated by Q or B, and Q+B also displayed further negatively and positively modulated effects compared with C group. The order of methylation specific (MS) PCR of $p16INK4{\alpha}$: C>B/Q>Q+B group, while the order of E-cadherin expression level was contrary, Q+B>Q/B>C group. Thus, Q/B, especially Q+B display reverse effect targeting both altered DNA methylation and histone acetylation, acting as histone deacetylase inhibitor mediated via epigenetic-$NF-{\kappa}B$ cascade signaling.

The purpose of this study is development of the quality assessment for interior space and foodservice management in Italian restaurants. Also this study aims to evaluate them which are consisted of 30 items by Likert 5 point scale. As a result of the evaluation, 'food taste' and 'ingredients freshness' were the most important factors in interior space and the foodservice in Italian restaurants. The IPA technique proved that nine items including Q4, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q14, Q16, Q19, Q24, Q28 were in 'Doing great, keep it up' and five items such as Q13, Q25, Q26, Q27, Q29 that got high expectation and low perception needed to be focused for quality management strategies.

The antioxidant effect of $CoQ_{10}$ on N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced oxidative stress was investigated in mice. Food intake and body weight were similar in both $CoQ_{10}$ and control groups during the 3-week experimental period. NDEA significantly increased the activities of typical marker enzymes of liver function (AST, ALT and ALP) both in control and $CoQ_{10}$ groups. However, the increase of plasma aminotransferase activity was significantly reduced in the $CoQ_{10}$ group. Lipid peroxidation in various tissues, such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen and plasma, was significantly increased by NDEA, but this increase was significantly reduced by 100 mg/kg of $CoQ_{10}$. Superoxide dismutase activity increased significantly upon NDEA-induced oxidative stress in both the control and $CoQ_{10}$ groups with the effect being less in the $CoQ_{10}$ group. Catalase activity decreased significantly in both the control and $CoQ_{10}$ groups treated with NDEA, again with the effect being less in the $CoQ_{10}$ group. The lesser effect on superoxide dismutase and catalase in the NDEA-treated $CoQ_{10}$ group is indicative of the protective effect $CoQ_{10}$. Thus, $CoQ_{10}$ can offer useful protection against NDEA-induced oxidative stress.

Objective: Data from a recent genome-wide association studiesy of gastric cancer (GC) and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese living in the Taihang Mountains of north-central China suggest that 1q22 and 10q23 are susceptibility-associated regions for GC. However, this has not been confirmed in southern Chinese populations. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these polymorphisms at 1q22 and 10q23 are associated with the risk of GC in a southern Chinese population. Methods: We selected seven top significant associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 1q22 and 10q23 and conducted a population-based case-control study in a southern Chinese population. Genotypes were determined using MassARRAYTM system (Sequenome, San Diego, CA). Results: Two SNPs at 1q22, rs4072037 and rs4460629, were significantly associated with a reduced risk of GC, best fitting the dominant genetic model. Logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex showed that rs4072037 AG and GG (OR=0.64, P=0.017, compared with AA) and rs4460629 CT and TT (OR=0.54, P=0.0016, compared with TT) significantly reduced the risk of GC. However, no significant results for the five SNPs at 10q23 were obtained in this study. Conclusion: These outcomes indicate that 1q22 is associated with GC susceptibility in this southern Chinese population, while an association for the locus at 10q23 was not confirmed.
