Lysobacter antibiocus HS124 is a chitinase-producing rhizobacterium with proven capacities to suppress plant diseases. Bacterial cultures of L. antibioticus HS124 showed strong biocontrol efficacies against various plant diseases compared to those of bacterial cultures of Bacillus subtilis QST713 which is an active ingredient of a commercial biopesticide, Serenade. Here, we report the draft genome sequence and automated annotation of strain HS124. This draft genome sequence indicates the novelty of L. antibiocus HS124 and a subset of gene functions that may be related to its biocontrol activities.

In 2010 and 2012, damping-off symptoms were found on melon seedlings grown in Yeongam and Suncheon, Korea. Water-soaked and discolored lesions appeared on the lower stems of the infected plants. The diseased plants became wilted and stunted, and eventually collapsed. On the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular analyses of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA and cytochrome oxidase II (cox2) sequences, the causal organism was identified as Pythium spinosum. The isolates were pathogenic to melon under pot conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. spinosum causing damping-off on melon in Korea.

Statment of problem : Little in known about the importance of selection of various double crowns as retainer in determining the outcome of treatment with double crown retained removable partial denture. Purpose : To obtain information about the effects and the results of this treatment modality. Material and methods : This study describes 61 double crown retained removable partial dentures worn by 51 patients from Samsung Medical Center, Seoul a time ranging between 6 and 48 months and evaluate occlusal contacts on the denture teeth, denture movement, incidence of denture relining, denture retention, fracture of dentures and abutments, hygiene, residual ridge inflammatory changes, number of lost abutment,. interruption of denture use. Results : One tenth of all the restorations were relined. Restorations in 21 arches fractured repeatedly for various reasons . There was no apparent interrelationship between fractures and the five groups. Conclusion : Good prognoses of removable partial dentures were shown in all groups(Kennedy Classes I, II, III, combination and few remaining abutment).

The overall objective of fitting removable partial dentures at initial placement is to ensure that the patient is given the best possible start with the new prostheses. This may be achieved by checking that: (1) final inspection of the prosthesis, (2) seating of the RPD framework, (3) evaluation of denture base adaptation, (4) assessment of denture base peripheral extensions, (5) occlusal adjustment, (6) remounting the prosthesis, and (7) instructions to the patient.

The three dimensional(3D) reconstruction from two dimensional(2D) image data is using in many fields such as RPD(Rapid Product Development) and reverse engineering. In this paper, the main step of 3D reconstruction is comprised of two steps : image processing step and B-spline surface approximation step. In the image processing step, feature points of each cross-section are obtained by means of several image processing technologies. In the B-spline surface approximation step, using the data of feature points obtained in the image processing step, the control points of B-spline surface are obtained, which are used for IGES file of 3D CAD model.

BACKGROUND. Though implant dentistry is very successful and predictable in treatment of patients with destroyed dentition, there are some cases with limitations to implant therapy. In these cases, alternative treatment modality should be considered. CASE DESCRIPTION. A patient with destroyed dentition was rehabilitated with a lateral rotational path removable partial denture. According to the diagnosis, we determined to raise vertical dimension for esthetic and functional restoration. The final restoration was performed after four months of provisional period. CLINICAL IMPLICATION. The edentulous patients with compromised esthetics and functions can be successfully treated with a rotational path removable partial denture through adequate treatment planning and precise laboratory procedure.

Recent engineering process requires fast development and manufacturing of the products. This paper mainly discusses the process of rapid product development (RPD) from the reverse engineering to the optimal design. A laser scanning system scans a product and the efficient data processing method reduces the scanned point data. The reduced (scanned) points model is transformed to a finite element model without the construction of a CAD model. Since CAD modeling is a time-consuming work, skipping this step can save much time. This FE model is updated from the result based on the structural characteristics from modal test of the real model. For FE model updating, Response Surface Method is adopted. Finally, the updated FE model is optimized using the reliability-based topology optimization, which is developed recently. All these processes are applied to the design of an upper part model of a cellular phone.

Canker farmed on a pomegranate tree(Punica granatum) with yellowing leaves and death of some twigs was founded at a garden of Gyungbuk Agricultural Technology Administration. Botryosphaeria dothidea was isolated from the canker and pathogenisity of the isolate was confirmed by artificial inoculation to the pome-granate twig, which showed the same symptom with naturally infected twig. This is the first report of a natural infection of pomegranate tree by Botryosphaeria dothidea in Korea.

During the investigation of Allium decline in Pohang, Korea, root-knot nematode was found from root of Allium tuberosum Roth. It was identified as Meloidogyne incognita and was first reported from Allium tuberosum. Allium decline was associated with root-knot nematode, root mite and Fusarium sp. but root-knot nematode appeared to be the main cause of Allium decline.

Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 induces systemic tolerance in plants against drought stress. A volatile, 2R, 3R-butanediol, produced by the bacterium causes partial stomatal closure, thus, limiting water loss from the plant. In this study, we report that applications of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from P. chlororaphis O6 to epidermal peels of leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana also reduce the size of stomatal openings. Growth of A. thaliana seedlings with applications of the EPS from P. chlororaphis O6 reduced the extent of wilting when water was withheld from the plants. Fluorescence measurements showed photosystem II was protected in the A. thaliana leaves in the water stressed EPS-exposed plants. These findings indicate that P. chlororaphis O6 has redundancy in traits associated with induction of mechanisms to limit water stress in plants.
