Protein kinase CKII is composed of two catalytic ($\alpha$ or $\alpha$') subunits and two regulatory ($\beta$) subunits. The $CKII{\beta}$ subunit is thought to mediate the tetramer formation and interact with other target proteins. However, its physiological function remains obscure. In this study, point mutants of $CKII{\beta}$ that are defective for the L41 binding were isolated by using the reverse two-hybrid system. A sequence analysis of the point mutants revealed that Asp-26, Met-52, and Met-78 of $CKII{\beta}$ are critical for L41 binding; Asn-67 (and/or Lys-139) and Met-52 are important for $CKII{\beta}$ homodimerization. Two point mutants, R75 and R83, of $CKII{\beta}$ interacted with L5, topoisomerase $II{\beta}$, and CKBBP1/SAG, but not with the wild-type $CKII{\beta}$. This indicates that $CKII{\beta}$ homodimerization is not a prerequisite for its binding to target proteins. These $CKII{\beta}$ point mutants may be useful in exploring the biochemical physiological functions of $CKII{\beta}$.

In this paper, we propose two new routing schemes for double-layered peer-to-peer systems; a shorter-lower mobility routing scheme and a reverse path routing scheme. The shorter-lower mobility routing scheme first chooses shortest routing paths among possible routing paths and selects the path associated with the relay peer who has lower mobility to improve the reliability of the system. The reverse path routing scheme carries out unicasting (instead of multicasting) based on the reverse path information that can be obtained during the initial file search to further reduce network traffic. The experimental results showed that a double-layered peer-topeer system with the proposed hybrid scheme improved the reliability of the system about 1.5% over the hop count scheme and reduced network traffic by about 0.5% compared to the hop count scheme.

One of the innate immune reactions in invertebrates is the pro-phenoloxidase (pro-PO) activation system that is involved in the generation of superoxide, melanin synthesis, and the subsequent sequestration of foreign matter entering the hemocoel of the invertebrates. However, the molecular mechanism of this biological reaction is still obscure. To expand our understanding of the biological roles of the pro-PO activation system in invertebrates, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening by using three regions of pro-PO as bait and a yeast two-hybrid cDNA library from Tenebrio molitor larvae as prey We isolated a novel partial cDNA clone that encodes a glycine-rich protein that interacted with the active phenoloxidase (termed phenoloxidase interacting protein, POIP). POIP consists of two domains: One is an N-terminal unique domain and the other is a C-terminal glycine-rich domain. The C-terminal glycine-rich domain showed sequential homology with those of insect antifungal proteins. Also, the yeast two-hybrid screen in a reverse orientation (using POIP as bait) yielded PO, suggesting that the PO-POIP interaction is specific. By using a 315 bP PCR fragment of the N-terminal unique region of POIP, we cloned the full-length cDNA of POIP from the Tenebruo cDNA library constructed by using E. coli injected larvae. The interaction analysis between PO, and a truncated fragment lacking the N-terminal unique region of POIP, indicated that the N-terminal unique region is necessary for interaction between PO and POIP. The expression level of the POIP mRNA is increased by bacterial injection into T. molitor larvae. This suggests that POIP might be engaged in the humoral defense reaction.

Fouling by inorganic scales needs to be prevented to effectively operate sea water reverse osmosis(SWRO) membrane systems. The extents of inorganic scaling with different array designs including one-pass, two-pass and several hybrid designs were evaluated using seawater from southern sea near the city of Chang-Won. The used methods for evaluation were Stiff and Davis Index(S&DSI) calculation and several laboratory experiments. The formation potential of inorganic scale fouling was quite great under the examined conditions, which was confirmed by the laboratory experimental results. The inorganic scale was not avoidable fouling if any anti-scaling measures were not applied. The RO showed decreased flux under the scale formation conditions. The increases in S&DSI from 1.43 to 5 made small decreases in flux, which indicated that formation of inorganic scales had more substantial effects on RO flux than amount of inorganic scales.

We consider a reverse supply chain with a production facility and a recovery facility, and address the joint control of production and disposal decisions for sustainable operations. Demands are satisfied from on-hand inventory of serviceable products, replenished via manufacturing or remanufacturing. Sold products may be returned after usage and each returned product is disposed of or accepted for recovery. Accepted returned products are converted into serviceable products after remanufacturing process. Formulating the model as a Markov decision process, we characterized the structure of the optimal production and disposal policy as two monotone switching curves under a special condition. Three types of heuristic policies are presented and their performance is numerically compared.

본 연구에서는 집중형 센터를 가진 역물류네트워크(Reverse logistics network with centralized centers : RLNCC)를 효율적을 해결하기 위한 혼합형 유전알고리즘(Hybrid genetic algorithm : HGA) 접근법을 제안한다. 제안된 HGA에서는 유전알고리즘(Genetic algorithm : GA)이 주요한 알고리즘으로 사용되며, GA 실행을 위해 0 혹은 1의 값을 가질 수 있는 새로운 비트스트링 표현구조(Bit-string representation scheme), Gen and Chang(1997)이 제안한 확장샘플링공간에서의 우수해 선택전략(Elitist strategy in enlarged sampling space) 2점 교차변이 연산자(Two-point crossover operator), 랜덤 돌연변이 연산자(Random mutation operator)가 사용된다. 또한 HGA에서는 혼합형 개념 적용을 위해 Michalewicz(1994)가 제안한 반복적언덕오르기법(Iterative hill climbing method : IHCM)이 사용된다. IHCM은 지역적 탐색기법(Local search technique) 중의 하나로서 GA탐색과정에 의해 수렴된 탐색공간에 대해 정밀하게 탐색을 실시한다. RLNCC는 역물류 네트워크에서 수집센터(Collection center), 재제조센터(Remanufacturing center), 재분배센터(Redistribution center), 2차 시장(Secondary market)으로 구성되며, 이들 각 센터 및 2차 시장들 중에서 하나의 센터 및 2차 시장만 개설되는 형태를 가지고 있다. 이러한 형태의 RLNCC는 혼합정수계획법(Mixed integer programming : MIP)모델로 표현되며, MIP 모델은 수송비용, 고정비용, 제품처리비용의 총합을 최소화하는 목적함수를 가지고 있다. 수송비용은 각 센터와 2차 시장 간에 제품수송에서 발생하는 비용을 의미하며, 고정비용은 각 센터 및 2차 시장의 개설여부에 따라 결정된다. 예를 들어 만일 세 개의 수집센터(수집센터 1, 2, 3의 개설비용이 각각 10.5, 12.1, 8.9)가 고려되고, 이 중에서 수집센터 1이 개설되고, 나머지 수집센터 2, 3은 개설되지 않을 경우, 전체고정비용은 10.5가 된다. 제품처리비용은 고객으로부터 회수된 제품을 각 센터 및 2차 시장에서 처리할 경우에 발생되는 비용을 의미한다. 수치실험에서는 본 연구에서 제안된 HGA접근법과 Yun(2013)의 연구에서 제안한 GA접근법이 다양한 수행도 평가 척도에 의해 서로 비교, 분석된다. Yun(2013)이 제안한 GA는 HGA에서 사용되는 IHCM과 같은 지역적탐색기법을 가지지 않는 접근법이다. 이들 두 접근법에서 동일한 조건의 실험을 위해 총세대수 : 10,000, 집단의 크기 : 20, 교차변이 확률 : 0.5, 돌연변이 확률 : 0.1, IHCM을 위한 탐색범위 : 2.0이 사용되며, 탐색의 랜덤성을 제거하기 위해 총 20번의 반복실행이 이루어 졌다. 사례로 제시된 두 가지 형태의 RLNCC에 대해 GA와 HGA가 각각 실행되었으며, 그 실험결과는 본 연구에서 제안된 HGA가 기존의 접근법인 GA보다 더 우수하다는 것이 증명되었다. 다만 본 연구에서는 비교적 규모가 작은 RLNCC만을 고려하였기에 추후 연구에서는 보다 규모가 큰 RLNCC에 대해 비교분석이 이루어 져야 할 것이다.

Incompatible plant-pathogen interactions result in the rapid cell death response known as hypersensitive response (HR) and activation of host defense-related genes. To understand the molecular and cellular mechanism controlling defense response better, several approaches including isolation and characterization of novel genes, promoter analysis of those genes, protein-protein interaction analysis and reverse genetic approach etc. By using the yeast two-hybrid system a clone named Tsipl, Tsil -interacting protein 1, was isolated whose translation product apparently interacted with Tsil, an EREBP/AP2 type DNA binding protein. RNA gel blot analysis showed that the expression of Tsipl was increased by treatment with NaCl, ethylene, salicylic acid, or gibberellic acid. Transient expression analysis using a Tsipl::smGFP fusion gene in Arabidopsis protoplasts indicated that the Tsipl protein was targeted to the outer surface of chloroplasts. The targeted Tsipl::smGFP proteins were diffused to the cytoplasm of protoplasts in the presence of salicylic acid (SA) The PEG-mediated co-transfection analysis showed that Tsipl could interact with Tsil in the nucleus. These results suggest that Tsipl-Tsil interaction might serve to regulate defense-related gene expression. Basically the useful promoters are valuable tools for effective control of gene expression related to various developmental and environmental condition.(중략)

This paper proposes a method of improving the stability in sensor-less control of permanent magnet synchronous motors. The control method for low-speed region is divided into two: One is a high frequency method, which involves a problem of reverse rotation once misdetection of the permanent magnet polarity should occur, and another one is a current drive method, which has a problem that phase and speed oscillations are caused by quick speed changes. Hence, authors propose adoption of the current drive method for the basic control system with added compensation of stabilization by means of the high frequency method. This combination secures stable control with no risk of reversal and less vibration. In addition, authors have also considered a frequency separation filter of a shorter delay time so that current control performance will not lower even when high frequencies are introduced. This filter has achieved simplified compensation using repetitive characteristic through the utilization of the periodicity of high frequency current. Simulation and experiment have been conducted to verify that the stable performance of this system is improved.

Pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) has attracted much attention as potential technology to reduce the overall energy consumption for reverse osmosis(RO) desalination. The RO/PRO hybrid process is considered as the most logical next step for future desalination. The PRO process aims to harness the osmotic energy difference of two aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. By using the concentrated water(RO brine) discharged from existing RO plants, the PRO process can effectively exploit a greater salinity gradient to reduce the energy cost of processing concentrated water. However, in order to use RO brine as the draw solution, PRO membrane must have high water flux and enough mechanical strength to withstand the high operational pressure. This study investigates the development of a thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on the overall power density was studied using the characteristic factors of PRO membranes. Finally, the performance test of an 8-inch spiral wound module was carried out under various operating conditions(i.e. hydraulic pressure, flow rate, temperature). As the flow rate and temperature increased under the same hydraulic pressure, the PRO performance increased due to the growth of water permeability coefficient and osmotic pressure. For a high performance PRO system, in order to optimize the operating conditions, it is highly recommended that the flow pressure be minimized while the flow rate is maintained at a high level.
