Let f be a meromorphic function of finite order ρ with few poles in the sense S_λ(r, f) := O(r^λ+ε) + S(r, f), where λ < ρ and ε ∈ (0, ρ - λ), and let g(f) := Σ^k_j=1b_j(z)f^(k_j)(z + c_j) be a linear delay-differential polynomial of f with small meromorphic coefficients b_j in the sense S_λ(r, f). The zero distribution of fⁿ(g(f))^s - b₀ is considered in this paper, where b₀ is a small function in the sense S_λ(r, f).

Let R be a ring, ($S,{\leq}$) a strictly ordered monoid, and ${\omega}:S{\rightarrow}End(R)$ a monoid homomorphism. In [18], Mazurek, and Ziembowski investigated when the skew generalized power series ring $R[[S,{\omega}]]$ is a domain satisfying the ascending chain condition on principal left (resp. right) ideals. Following [18], we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on R, S and ${\omega}$ such that the skew generalized power series ring $R[[S,{\omega}]]$ is a right or left Archimedean domain. As particular cases of our general results we obtain new theorems on the ring of arithmetical functions and the ring of generalized power series. Our results extend and unify many existing results.

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a new class of modules that is closely related to the class of Noetherian modules. Let R be a commutative ring and M be an R-module. We say that M is an r-Noetherian module if every r-submodule of M is finitely generated. Also, we call the ring R to be an r-Noetherian ring if R is an r-Noetherian R-module, or equivalently, every r-ideal of R is finitely generated. We show that many properties of Noetherian modules are also true for r-Noetherian modules. Moreover, we extend the concept of weakly Noetherian rings to the category of modules and we characterize Noetherian modules in terms of r-Noetherian and weakly Noetherian modules. Finally, we use the idealization construction to give non-trivial examples of r-Noetherian rings that are not Noetherian.

In order to find novel sRNA in Bacillus subtilis which would be used to adapt to several conditions, we searched the whole genome of Bacillus subtilis using the following procedure. At first, the locations of recognition sequence of transcription factors such as PerR, OhrR, Fur and Zur were searched in the intergenic region of Bacillus subtilis genome and the locations of rho independent transcription terminator sites were also determined. Based on the information of these locations, the sRNA candidates were chosen by close locations (less than 300 bp) between the recognition site of transcription factors and rho independent transcription terminator site. Than transcription promoter sites were searched in the region of previously identified sRNA candidates and 5 PerR, 1 OhrR, 1 Fur and 1 Zur regulated good sRNA candidates were found.

Some microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to act as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes in human melanomas. miR-328 is upregulated in blood cells of melanoma patients compared to in healthy controls. This suggests a role for miR-328 in melanoma that warrants investigation. In this study, we demonstrated miR-328 levels to be dramatically decreased in human melanoma cell lines. Moreover, forced expression of miR-328 inhibited proliferation and induced G1-phase arrest of the SK-MEL-1 melanoma cell line. We identified TGFB2 as a direct target gene for miR-328 using a fluorescent reporter assay and western blotting. Levels of TGFB2 were dramatically increased in human melanoma cell lines and were inversely correlated with the miR-328 expression level. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of human melanoma development, indicating that miR-328 has therapeutic potential for this disease.

A portion (7.4 kb) of ribosomal DNA tandem repeat unit from a genome of the mushroom T. matsutake has been cloned. A 1.75 kb EcoRI fragment was cloned first using S. cerevisiae 255 rRNA gene as a probe, and this was then used for further cloning. A chromosomal walking experiment was carried out and the upstream region of the 1.75 kb fragment was cloned using SmaI/BamHI enzyme, the size was estimated to be 5.2 kb in length. Part of the downstream region of the 1.75 kb fragment was also cloned using XbaI/BamHI enzymes. Restriction enzyme maps of three cloned DNA fragments were constructed. Northern hybridization, using total RNA of T. matsutake, and the restriction fragments of three cloned DNAs as probes, revealed that all four ribosomal RNA genes (large subunit[LSU], small subunit [SSU], 5.85 and 5S rRNA genes) are present in the cloned region. The gene organization of the rDNA are regarded as an intergenic spacer [IGS]2 (partial) - SSU rRNA - internal transcribed spacer [ITS]1 - 5.8S rRNA - ITS2 - LSU rRNA - IGS1 -5S rRNA - IG52 (partial).

Significance of the R16 Korea Contest as Culture Contents. Known for relentless practice and intense moves, widespread presence on the Internet, strong ethnic elements highlighting Korean physical attributes and collective culture, b-boying occupies a special place in Korea today. News of four consecutive wins in major b-boy contests around the world have changed the common public conception that b-boys are simply a group of problem boys and students in hip-hop clothes intent on showing off their dance moves. B-boying is no longer perceived as a dance that is performed in the shadowy underground but as a dynamic and beautiful art form of physical expression that is part of today's popular culture. This paper examines the significance of R-16 Korea as culture contents and its main event, the World B-boy Masters Championship. It introduces how the contest has developed since 2007 to reach popular influence and gain international recognition. The paper also compares R-16 Korea to the world's four major b-boy contests, Battle Of The Year, UK B-boy Championship, Free Style Session, and Red Bull BC One to see if any distinctions could be found among them and to evaluate the significance of R-16 Korea as cultural content in its rise to one of the world's top 5 major b-boy contests. Finally, this study makes suggestions for b-boying to become more established as part of Korea's culture contents.

Cirsium pendulum plants were collected from Hongcheon, Pyeongchang, Wonju, Yangyang in Kangwondo, Gapyeong in Gyeongkido, and Choongju in Choongcheongbukdo. Cirsium setidens plants were collected from Taebaek in Kangwondo and Bonghwa in Kyeongsangbukdo. Genomic DNA was prepared from those plants and used for the amplification of 18S rDNA, ITS1, 5.8S rDNA, ITS2, and part of 28S rDNA. The PCR products were sequenced, and the sequence was deposited in the GenBank. The comparison of those sequences has revealed that the rDNA sequences are identical for all six C. pendulum plants, but that the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences contain variable nucleotides. The two C. setidens plants had different nucleotides in 18S rDNA, ITS1, and ITS2. The comparison of the DNA sequences of C. pendulum and C. setidens collected in this study with C. pendulum of Hokkaido in Japan and C. japonicum of Anhui in China indicated that the plants of those three species are clearly divided into three distinct groups. The silymarin content of the collected plants was analyzed and turned out to be quite high. Therefore, it has been found that both C. pendulum and C. setidens plants are producing large amounts of silymarin, which has been reported to have various medicinal effects.

The development of resistance to bifenazate (resistance ratio of egg=40.3 folds) was found in population of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, collected from rose greenhouses in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk Province in December 2000. This population was selected for 4 years with bifenazate treatment (over 150 times), and showed 248.8 folds increase in resistance as compared to susceptible (S) strain. Inheritance of bifenazate resistant strain (R) and cross resistance of this strain to 9 acaricides were investigated. There were differences of susceptibility in the bifenazate concentration-mortality relationships in F1 progenies obtained from reciprocal cross with the S and R strain $(R{\times}S,\;S{\times}R)$. Degrees of dominance were 0.48 and 0.94 in adult females and eggs of $R{\times}S$ and -0.85 and -0.17 in adult females and eggs of $S{\times}R$, respectively. Inheritance type in the F1 progeny of $R{\times}S$ was incomplete dominant, and F1 progeny of $S{\times}R$ was incomplete recessive. These results suggest that inheritance of bifenazate resistance is controlled by a complete dominance. The R strain exhibited cross resistance to acequinocyl and fenpyroximate in adult females, and amitraz, emamectin benzoate, fenpyroximate, milbemectin, pyridaben and spirodiclofen in eggs. However they showed negatively correlated cross-resistance to emamectin benzoate and milbemectin in adult females, and abamectin in eggs.

A module M over a ring R is said to satisfy (P) if every generating set of M contains an independent generating set. The following results are proved; (1) Let $\tau$ = ($\mathbb{T}_\tau,\;\mathbb{F}_\tau$) be a hereditary torsion theory such that $\mathbb{T}_\tau$ $\neq$ Mod-R. Then every $\tau$-torsionfree R-module satisfies (P) if and only if S = R/$\tau$(R) is a division ring. (2) Let $\mathcal{K}$ be a hereditary pre-torsion class of modules. Then every module in $\mathcal{K}$ satisfies (P) if and only if either $\mathcal{K}$ = {0} or S = R/$Soc_\mathcal{K}$(R) is a division ring, where $Soc_\mathcal{K}$(R) = $\cap${I 4\leq$ $R_R$ : R/I$\in\mathcal{K}$}.
