New organic light-emitting diodes with structure of ITO/DNTPD/TAPC/$Bebq_2/Bebq_2$:RP-411/ET-137/LiF/Al using the selective doping of 5% RP-411 in a single $Bebq_2$ host in the two wavelength(green, red) emitter formation were proposed and characterized. In the experiments, with a 300${\AA}$-thick undoped emitter of $Bebq_2$, three kinds of devices with different thicknesses of 30${\AA}$, 40${\AA}$ and 50${\AA}$ in the doped emitter of $Bebq_2$:RP-411 were fabricated. The electroluminescent spectra showed two peak emissions at the same wavelengths of 511 nm and 622 nm for the fabricated devices. When the device with a 30${\AA}$-thick doped emitter is referred as "D-1", the device with a 40${\AA}$-thick doped emitter is referred as "D-2" and the device with a 50${\AA}$-thick doped emitter is referred as "D-3", the relative intensity of 622 nm to 511 nm at two wavelength peaks was higher in the D-2 and the D-3 than in the D-1. The devices of D-1, D-2 and D-3 showed the color coordinates of (0.43, 0.46), (0.46, 0.44) and (0.48, 0.43) on the CIE chart, respectively.

A cDNA clone coding for ribosomal protein 46 (rp46) which is a component of 60S ribosomal large subunit has been identified from Drosophila melanogaster. A cDNA clone encoding S. cerevisiae rp46 was used as a probe to screen a Drosophila larvae cDNA library. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that the cDNA coding for Drosophils rp46 contains a complete reading frame of 153 nucleotides coding for 51 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 71-75% homology with those of other eukaryotic organisms. Northern blot analysis showed that about 1-kb rp46 transcripts are abundant throughout fly development. Whole mount embryonic mRNA in situ hybridization also showed no preferential distribution of the transcripts to any specific region. The chromosomal in situ hybridization revealed that the identified gene is localized at position 60C on the right arm of the second polytene chromosome with a possibility of single copy.

Self-Clocked Fair Queueing (SCFQ) algorithm has been considered as an attractive packet scheduling algorithm because of its implementation simplicity, but it has unbounded delay property in some input traffic conditions. In this paper, we propose a Rate Proportional SCFQ (RP-SCFQ) algorithm which is a rate proportional version of SCFQ. If any fair queueing algorithm can be categorized into the rate proportional class and input is constrained by a leaky bucket, its delay is bounded and the same as that of Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ) which is known as an optimal fair queueing algorithm. RP-SCFQ calculates the timestamps of packets arriving during the transmission of a packet using the current value of system potential updated at every packet departing instant and uses a starting potential when it updates the system potential. By doing so, RP-SCFQ can have the rate proportional property. RP-SCFQ is appropriate for high-speed packet-switched networks since its implementation complexity is low while it guarantees the bounded delay even in the worst-case input traffic conditions.

There are 3 UV DNA repair endonuclease activities in mammalian cells that cleave UV -irradiated DNA. Interestingly, mammalian UV endonuclease III with MW of 26.7kD has a lyase activity on AP sites. It also cleaves the phosphodiester bond within a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer. Genomic analysis of human repair endonuclease III gene revealed that this gene has 100% sequence identity with ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3). Therefore, rpS3 seems to function both in translation and in DNA repair. This gene of about 6.1 kb contains 6 introns and 7 exons, and the first and fifth introns of human rpS3 gene contain functional U15 small nucleolar (sno) RNAs which appear to be involved in ribosome assembly. It is to be noted that the column profile of the endonuclease activity of rpS3 appears to be altered in Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) group D cells compared to normal cells indicating that this protein is involved in XP disease as well. XP is a human disease characterized by high sensitivity of skin by UV- or sun-light irradiation and by high frequency of developing skin cancers. We also report here that rpS3 protein is involved in other cellular functions.

At the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Pusan National University Hospital, postoperative cardiac catheterizations were performed in 12 patients of ventricular septal defect with severe pulmonary hypertension [Pp/Ps>0.75], who were operated during the period from July 1981 to Dec. 1986. The mean age of the patients preoperatively was 12.4 [range: 4-18] year-old and the mean follow-up duration was 25.8 [range: 8-53] month per patient. In comparison with the preoperative data, the systolic pulmonary artery pressure [SPAP] was decreased from 103.6*18.4 to 70.4*35.9 mmHg [p<0.01] and the Pp/Ps was decreased from 0.89*0.10 to 0.58*0.27 [p<0.01]. But the Rp/Rs and Rp were not meaningfully changed, from 0.31*0.16 and 7.6*0.4 unit to 0.41*0.32 and 8.0*6.6 unit, respectively. The preoperative Qp/Qs was bellow 2.0[mean: 1.6] in 3 out of 4 cases whose postoperative Rp/Rs and Rp were above 0.75 and 15 unit, respectively. On the contrary, the preoperative Qp/Qs was above 2.0 [mean: 3.5] in all of the 8 cases, whose postoperative Rp/Rs and Rp were below 0.50 and 10 unit, respectively.

Adaptive finite element analysis, in which its solution error meets with the user defined allowable error, is recently used to improve the reliability of finite element analysis results. This adaptive analysis is composed of two procedures; one is the error estimation of an analysis result and the other is the reconstruction of finite elements. In the (p-method, an element size is controlled by relocating of nodal positions (r-method) and the order of an element shape function is determined by the hierarchical polynomial (p-method) corresponding to the clement solution error by the enhanced SPR. In order to show the effectiveness and the accuracy of the suggested rp-method, various numerical examples were analyzed and these analysis results were examined by comparing with those obtained by the existed methods.

In this study, we investigated Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production by a rice phylloplane bacteria, Enterobacter sp. DMKU-RP206, using sweet whey as a feed stock instead of lactose. We succeeded in using sweet whey for Enterobacter sp. DMKU-RP206 to produce 3,963.0 mg IAA/l with the optimal medium containing 1.48% sweet whey, 1.42% yeast extract and 0.88% $\text\tiny{L}$-tryptophan. The medium pH was adjusted to 6 and the culture conditions were shaking at 200 rpm on an orbital shaker at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. We also evaluated the effect of IAA in culture filtrates of Enterobacter sp. DMKU-RP206 on the promotion of jasmine rice growth in a pot experiment. Compared with the negative control (without IAA), the result showed that biosynthetic IAA produced by Enterobacter sp. DMKU-RP206 significantly increased the growth of jasmine rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. KDML105) in terms of length and dry weight of shoot. This work thus reveals the impact of IAA produced by Enterobacter sp. on the promotion of jasmine rice growth.

The Korean high-speed rail (HSR) began its commercial service in 2004. This service has been created significant changes in the system of intercity passenger travels of Korea. However, the actual ridership was approximately half of the estimated one in the planning stage. In this background, this paper presents the difference between the stated preference (SP) before the HSR service and the revealed preference (RP) after it using the intercity travel mode choice models. Several meaningful differences are found in terms of the factors affecting the travel mode choice, the estimation results of model, the monetary values of time, and elasticities. While the access/egress travel time of high-speed rail is less important than in-vehicle travel time in the SP sample, they have same weight in the RP sample. Also the RP models show that the probability of choosing HSR can be decreased by the increase of the number of vehicles in household contrary to the results from the SP models. The monetary values of travel time are relatively high and the direct and cross elasticities in response to changes in level-of-service of HSR are relatively low in the RP sample. This Korean case is expected to offer referable material for preparing high-speed rail services in other countries by showing the difference between the SP and RP before/after the actual service, identifying the importance of access/egress travel time and lower direct elasticities of HSR demand.

Many proteins with poor transduction efficiency were reported to be delivered to cells by fusion with protein transduction domains (PTDs). In this study, we investigated the effect of levosulpiride on the transduction of PEP-1 ribosomal protein S3 (PEP-1-rpS3), and examined its influence on the stimulation of the therapeutic properties of PEP-1-rpS3. PEP-1-rpS3 transduction into HaCaT human keratinocytes and mouse skin was stimulated by levosulpiride in a manner that did not directly affect the cell viability. Following 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in mice, levosulpiride alone was ineffective in reducing TPA-induced edema and in inhibiting the elevated productions of inflammatory mediators and cytokines, such as cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, interleukin-6 and -1${\beta}$, and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$. Anti-inflammatory activity by PEP-1-rpS3 + levosulpiride was significantly more potent than by PEP-1-rpS3 alone. These results suggest that levosulpiride may be useful for enhancing the therapeutic effect of PEP-1-rpS3 against various inflammatory diseases.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of rumen-protected amino acid (RPAA) prototypes, which were chemically synthesized, on in vitro rumen fermentation and protection rate outcomes. Several RPAA prototypes were incubated with timothy hay and concentrate. Treatments consisted of 1) control (CON; no RPAA prototype supplement), and prototypes of 2) 0.5% RP-methionine (RPMet), 3) 0.5% RP-tryptophan (RPTrp), 4) 0.5% RP-valine (RPVal), 5) 0.5% RP-phenylalanine (RPPhe), 6) 0.5% RP-leucine (RPLeu), 7) 0.5% RP-histidine (RPHis), 8) 20% RPMet, and 9) 20% RPTrp (w·w^-1 feed). The inoculum (50 mL) prepared with rumen fluid and McDougall's buffer (1 : 4) was dispensed in individual serum bottles and was anaerobically incubated for 0, 6, and 24 h at 39℃ in triplicate. The dry matter degradability did not differ among the groups, except for the 20% RPMet and the 20% RPTrp treatments at 6 and 24 h. The total volatile fatty acid concentration in the 20% RPMet was higher (p < 0.05) than the rest of the groups at 6 h, and 20% RPMet showed the highest molar proportion of acetate, whereas the lowest proportion of propionate was found at 6 h (p < 0.05). The protection rate of the RPAA prototypes ranged from 29.85 to 109.21%. at 24 h. In conclusion, the chemically synthesized RPAA prototypes studied here had no detrimental effects on rumen fermentation parameters. Further studies using animal models are needed for more accurate evaluations of the effectiveness of RPAA.
