  • Salmonella Pathgenicity Island 2 plays an important role in Salmonella pathogenicity, especially invasion into host cell. We have investigated the effect of various environmental factors, such as oxygen level, osmolarity, pH, carbon starvation and glycerol addition on the expression of SPI2. For this research, we constructed the reporter plasmids, in which the promoter-less lac operons are fused with the regulatory regions (including promoter) of ssaJ and ssaK, major genes in SPI2. The study using the reporters showed that low oxygen, low osmolarity, or weak alkali conditions increased the expression levels of ssaJ and ssaK and when these three conditions exist simultaneously, the expression levels of ssaJ and ssaK are the highest. However carbon starvation and glycerol addition did not affect the expression of ssaJ and ssaK. These environmental effects on the expression levels of ssaJ and ssaK are the same in three Salmonella typhimurium wild types, LT2, UK1, and SL1344. In addition, we confirmed that the mutation in hilA, a regulatory gene encoding a transcriptional activator of SPI1, had no effect on the expression of ssaJ and ssaK. Thus, these results strongly suggest that the expressions of SPI2 and SPI1 are regulated by different control systems.

  • The promoter regions from chromosomal DNA of Bacillus sp. SSA3 which is responsible for fermentation of Korean traditional soy sauce, were cloned for construction of expression vector of Bacills sp. SSA3. Recombinant plasmids were constructed by insertion of HindIIl-cleaved Bacillus sp. SSA3 chromosomal DNA fragments in front of the CAT gene of pGR71 plasmid and B-galactosidase gene of pUC18 plasmid. 6 recombinant plasmids were isolated from chloramphenicol resistant E. coli JM109 clones. All these plasmids were found to have promoter activity in Bacills sp. SSA3 and E. coli JM109. When these 6 clones of Bacills sp. SSA3 were cultivated in LB agar medium supplemented with 10% NaCI. fused CAT gene expression of 4 clones was significantly decreased in common. But the others were poorly inhibited.

  • PVA/SSA/HPA composite membranes were prepared by the addition of SSA as a crosslinking agent and HPA such as PWA or SiWA. The water uptake decreased and the IEC increased as the HPA contents increased in PVA/SSA/HPA composite membranes. XRD results showed that HPA distributed well into the composite membranes as the HPA concentration increased, and SiWA dispersed better than PWA in the composite membranes. TGA results showed that PVA/SSA composite membranes were more heat-resistant than PVA due to the crosslinking of PVA, and the heat stability of the composite membranes improved much more as the concentration of HPA increased. The methanol barrier property of PVA/SSA/HPA composite membranes was superior to Nafion, and the methanol permeability of the composite membranes decreased as the concentration of HPA increased.

  • In order to determine the value and type statically. CTOC uses the SSA Form which separates the variable according to assignment. The SSA Form is widely being used as the intermediate expression of the compiler for data flow analysis as well as code optimization. However, the conventional SSA Form is more associated with variables rather than expressions. Accordingly, the redundant expressions are eliminated to optimize expressions of the SSA From. This paper defines the partial redundant expression to obtain a more optimized code and also implements the technique for eliminating such expressions.

  • High titer rabbit polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) which show a specificity for saikosaponin a (SSA), have been generated. The immunogen used was a conjugate of SSA linked through its glucose moiety to bovine serum albumin by periodate oxidation method. The antibody titers obtained from two rabbits, innoculated with the immunogen, reached a plateau after the fourth and third booster injection, respectively. The specificity of the pAbs was determined by hapten inhibition assays using several SSA-like structures. SSA competitively inhibited the binding of the rabbit anti-SSA pAbs to SSA-ovalbumin on solid phase, a coated antigen on the well. The antibodies showed high specificity to SSA, exhibiting no significant cross-reactivity with any of SSA analogues tested.

  • Crosslinked PVA membranes were achieved by esterification between the hydroxyl groups of PVA and carboxyl group of sulfosuccinic acid (SSA). SSA containing sulfonic group was used as a chemical crosslinking agent as well as a donor of fixed anionic group ($-SO_3$H). The crosslinking density of membranes was controlled by SSA content and calculated using polar and non-polar solvent. The crosslinking density measured by using non-polar solvent such as xylene and benzene increases with SSA content. However, using the polar solvent such as water and methanol, the crosslinking density increases up to SSA content of 20 wt% and above the content decrease due to sulfonic acid groups. The crosslinked PVA membranes were studied in relation with water diffusion coefficient and mechanical property as well as proton conductivity and methanol permeability as a function of crosslinking density. These properties were all dependent on the effect of SSA content.

  • Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/sulfur-siccinic acid(SSA) membrane performances have been studied for the vapor permeation separation of methyl tort-butyl ether(MTBE)/methanol mixtures with varying operation temperatures, amount of cross-linking agents, and feed compositions. 1'here are two factors, the membrane network and the hydrogen bonding, in the swelling measurements of PVA/SSA membranes. These two factors act interdependently on the membrane swelling. The sulfuric acid group in SSA took an important role in the membrane performance. The cross-linking effect might be more dominant than the hydrogen bonding effect due to the sulfuric acid group at 7% SSA membrane. Hydrogen bonding effect was more important for 5% SSA membrane. In vapor permeation, density or concentration of methanol in vapor feed is lower than that of methanol in liquid feed, as a result, the hydrogen bonding portion between the solvent and the hydroxyl group in PVA is reduced in vapor permeation. In this case, the 7% SSA membrane shows the highest separation factor of 2187 with the flux of 4.84g/$m^2$hr for MTBE/methanol=80/20 mixtures at 3$0^{\circ}C$.

  • Although the Java bytecode has numerous advantages, there are also shortcomings such as slow execution speed and difficulty in analysis. Therefore, in order for the Java class file to be effectively executed under the execution environment such as the network, it is necessary to convert it into optimized code. We implemented CTOC for transforming to optimized code. In Optimization, SSA Form that distinguish variable by assignment is used to determine value and type statically. Copy propagation, dead code elimination optimization is applied to SSA Form. However, existing SSA Form is related to variable than expression. Therefore, in this paper, to performing optimization to SSA Form expression, after performing copy propagation and dead code elimination, in addition to that, partial redundant expression elimination is performed

  • Many routing algorithms, proposed for ad-hoc wireless networks, we based on source routing scheme and shortest path route has short lifetime especially in highly dense ad-hoc wireless networks. So some routing protocols such as SSA and ABR are considering the link stability and try finding more stable route. In this paper we propose a new routing algorithm considering utilization metric based on SSA routing algerian in Ad-Hoc networks. To reduce the bottleneck by specific metric of SSA, proposed scheme makes load balancing in networks by distributing the connections to several routes. For the evaluation of the performance we compare our scheme with existent routing protocol AODV and SSA. And the results, obtained using the ns-2 network simulation platform, show good performance that reduced the number of reconstructions remarkably by distributing the whole traffic to several routes when there are several stable routes.

  • This paper deals with the separation of MTBE-methanol mixtures using crosslinked Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) membranes with sulfur-succinic acid(SSA) as a crosslinking agent by pervaporation and vapor permeation technique. The operating temperatures, methanol concentration in feed mixtures, and SSA concentrations in PVA membranes were varied to investigate the separation performance of PVA/SSA membranes and the optimum separation characteristics by pervaporation and vapor permeation. And also, for PVA/SSA membranes, the swelling measurements were carried out to study the transport phenomena. The swelling measurements were carried out for pure MTBE and methanol, and MTBE/methanol=90/10, 80/20 mixtures using PVA/SSA membranes with varying SSA compositions. There are two factors of the membrane network and the hydrogen bonding. In pervaporation separation was also carried out for MTBE/methanol=90/10, 80/20 mixtures at various temperatures. The sulfuric acid group in SSA took an important role in the membrane performance. The crosslinking effect might be over the hydrogen bonding effect due to the sulfuric acid group at 3 and 5% SSA membranes, and this two factors act vice versa on 7% SSA membrane. In this case, the 5% SSA membrane shows the highest separation factor of 2,095 with the flux of 12.79g/㎡$.$hr for MTBE/methanol=80/20 mixtures at 30$^{\circ}C$ which this mixtures show near the azeotopic composition. Compared to pervaporation, vapor permeation showed less flux and similar separation factor. In this case, the flux decreased significantly because of compact structure and the effect of hydrogen bonding. In vapor permeation, density or concentration of methanol in vaporous feed is lower than that of methanol in liquid feed, as a result, the hydrogen bonding portion between the solvent and the hydroxyl group in PVA is reduced in vapor permeation. In this case, the 7% SSA membranes shows the highest separation factor of 2,187 with the flux of 4.84g/㎡$.$hr for MTBE/methanol=80/20 mixtures at 30$^{\circ}C$.
