The conjugation processes of a filamentous freshwater green alga Spirogyra varians were examined using FITC-lectins. Conjugation comprised five steps: 1) aligning with adjacent filaments, 2) formation of conjugation protru-sion (papilla), 3) fusion of the protrusions, 4) formation of conjugation tube,and 5) formation of zygotes. Three lectins, ConA, RCA and UEA, showed considerable labeling during the progression of conjuation. FITC-ConA labeled the surfaces of filaments throughout the whole conjugation processes. FITC-RCA labeling was observed at the conjugation protrusions only after the papilla formation. Strong labeling continued until formationg of zygotes at the contacting area where the conjugation tube developed, but no labeling was detected on the surface of vegetative filaments. The labeling decreased gradually over time and disappeared when zygotes were formed. FITC-UEA showed similar labeling pattern with FITC-RCA except that weak labeling remained after zygote formation. Inhibition experiments using RCA, UEA which are complementary to sugars L-fucose and D-galactose, showed considerable decrease of conjugation (<32% vs. 70% in control). These results suggested that the lectin-carbohydrate recognition system might be involved in the conjugation of spirogyra varians.

플라즈마 화학적 기상 증착(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition)공정 중 NH3 gas flow rate, RF power, SiH4 gas flow rate을 고정시키고 N2O gas flow rate을 0 sccm부터 250 sccm까지 변화시키는 조건 하에 SiON박막을 증착한 후 그 투과율, 굴절률을 측정하고 분석하였다. N2O gas flow rate조건별 시편들은 증착율을 계산하여 350 nm 두께로 동일하게 SiON을 증착하였고, borofloat위에 SiON을 증착한 샘플은 투과율을, 실리콘기판 위에 SiON을 증착한 샘플로는 굴절률을 측정하였다. 투과율의 경우는 UV/Vis spectrometer를 이용해 633 nm, 1550 nm 두 가지 파장 대 모두에서 N2O gas flow rate이 가장 큰 250 sccm일 때 가장 높은 것을 알 수 있었고 N2O gas flow rate이 낮아질수록 투과율 또한 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 굴절률은 ellipsometer를 이용해 측정하였으며 633 nm 파장에서 N2O gas flow rate가 가장 낮은 0 sccm일 때 굴절률이 가장 큰 값을 가지고 N2O gas flow rate이 커질수록 굴절률은 지수함수적으로 감소되었다(n=1.837~1.494). 이는 N2O gas flow rate이 낮을수록 SiN계열에 커질수록 SiO2계열에 가까워지는 현상으로 이해된다. 이러한 실험분석 결과는 향후 실리카 도파로의 설계 및 최적화를 위해 사용될 수 있다.

Actinorhodin antibiotics produced by Streptomyces lividans TK24 are blue pigments with a weak antibiotic activity, derived from one acetyl-CoA and 15 malonyl-CoA units via a typical ployketide pathway. In an attempt to clone polyketide biosynthetic genes of S. lividans TK24, hybridizing fragments in the genomic DNA of S. lividans TK24 were detected by use of acn and act III polyketide synthase gene probes. Since typical aromatic polyketide bio-synthetic gene clusters are roughly 22-34 Kb long, we constructed in E. coli XL-Blue MR using the Streptomyces-E. coli bifunctional shuttle cosmid vector (pojn46). Then, about 5,000 individual E. coii colonies were thor-oughly screened with acrl-ORFI and actIII probes. From these cosmid libra-ries, 12 positive clones were identified. Restriction analysis and southern hybridization showed two polyketide biosynthetic gene clusters in this organism. These cosmid clones can be transformed into Streptomyces parvulus 12434 for expression test that identify product of actinorhodin biosynthetic genes by heterologous expression. Thus, heterologous expres-sion of a derivative compound of a actinorhodin biosynthetic intermediate was obtained in pKE2430. Expression of these compounds by the trans-formants was detected by photodiode array HPLC analysis of crude extracts.

This paper proposes a new call admission control scheme utilizing an inverse fuzzy vector quantizer(IFVQ) and neural net, which combines benefits of IFVQ and flexibilities of FCM(Fuzzy-C-Menas) arithmatics, to decide whether a requested call that is not trained in learning phase to be connected or not. The system generates the estimated traffic pattern of the cell stream of a new call, using feasible/infeasible patterns in codebook, fuzzy membership values that represent the degree to which each pattern of codebook matches input pattern, and FCM arithmatics. The input to the NN is the vector consisted of traffic parameters which is the means and variances of the number of cells arriving inthe interval. After training(using error back propagation algorithm), when the NN is used for decision making, the decision as to whether to accept or reject a new call depends on whether the output is greater or less then decision threshold(+0.5). This method is a new technique for call admi sion control using the membership values as traffic parameter which declared to CAC at the call set up stage, and is valid for a very general traffic model in which the calls of a stream can belong to an unlimited number of traffic classes. Through the simmulation. it is founded the performance of the suggested method outforms compared to the conventional NN method.

This paper discusses cyclostationary interference suppression for multiuser wired communication systems. Crosstalk interference from digital signals in multipair cables has been shown to be cyclostationary. Many crosstalk equalization or suppression techniques have been proposed which make implicit use of the cyclostationarity of the crosstalk interferer. In this paper, the convergence and steady-state behaviors of a fractionally spaced equalizer (FSE) in the presence of multiple cyclostationary crosstalk interference are thoroughly analyzed by using the equalizer's eigenstructure. The eigenvalues with multiple cyclostationary interference depend upon the folded signal and interferer power spectra, the cross power spectrum between the signal and the interferer, and tile cross power spectrum between the interferers, which results in significantly different initial convergence and steady-state behaviors as compared to the stationary noise case. The performance of the equalizer varies depending on the relative clock phase of the symbol clocks used by the signal and multiple interferers. Measued characteristics as well as analytical model of NEXT/FEXT channel are used to compute the optimum and worst relative clock phases among the signal and multiple interferers.

We studied optical properties of SiON thin-film in the applications of optical waveguide. SiON thin-film was grown in 300$^{\circ}C$ by PECVD(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) system. The change of SiON thin-film composition and refractive Index was studied as a function of varying NH$_3$ gas flow rate. As NH$_3$ gas flow rate was increased, Quantity of N and refractive index were increased at the same time. By the results, we could form the SiON thin-film to use of a waveguide with refractive index of 1.6. We analyzed the conditions of the thin-film with FTIR(fourier transform infrared) and OES(optical emission spectroscopy). N-H bonding(3390cm$\^$-1/) can be removed by thermal annealing. And we could observe the SiH bonding state and quantity by OES analysis in SiH$_4$

Objectives: The correlation between medicinal herbal formulas and a risk of cardiotoxicity has been controversial. Thus, this study investigated cardiac safety assessment of 52 most commonly used medicinal herbal formulas. Methods: We evaluated the in vitro effects of medicinal herbal formulas on recombinant human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK 293) cell line expressing human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel. Results and Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that all of 52 medicinal herbal formulas did not show inhibition of hERG current in hERG-HEK 293 recombinant cells. In conclusion, these safety data suggest that 52 medicinal herbal formulas were not associated with an increased risk of cardiotoxicity in hERG-HEK 293 recombinant cells.
