  • For liquid rocket engine(LRE)-based space launch vehicles, longitudinal instability, often referred to as the pogo phenomenon in the literature is predicted. In the building block of system-level task, accurate dynamic modeling of a fluid-filled tank is an essential. This paper attempts to apply the virtual mass method that accounts for the interaction of the vehicle structure and the enclosed liquid oxygen to LOX-filled tanks. The virtual mass method is applied in a modal analysis considering the hydroelastic effect of the launch vehicle tank. This method involves an analysis of the fluid in the tank in the form of mass matrix. To verify the accuracy of this method, the experimental modal data of a small hemispherical tank is used. Finally, the virtual mass method is applied to a 1/8-scale space shuttle external tank. In addition, the LOX tank bottom pressure in the external tank model is estimated. The LOX tank bottom pressure is the factor required for the coupling of the LOX tank with the propulsion system. The small hemispherical tank analysis provides relatively accurate results, and the 1/8-scale space shuttle external tank provides reasonable results. The LOX tank bottom pressure is also similar to that in the numerical results of a previous analysis.

  • For the expression of CGTase gene(cgtS) kom Bacillus stearothemophilus NO2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cgtS gene was subcloned into the Eschepichia coll-yeast shuttle vector, pVT103-U. The constructed plasmid, pVT-CGTS was introduced to 5. cemi-siae 2805 cell, and then the cgtS gene under the control of adhl promoter was successfully expressed in the yeast transformant and 87% of the total activity was detected into the fermentation medium. Therefore, the signal peptide of B. stearothemephilus NO2 CeTase showed high secretion efficiency in 5. cerevisiae. Optimal conditions of the recombinant yeast cell f3r expression of CGTase was achieved, when 5. cerevisiae 2805/pv7-CGTS was cultivated on YP medium at 2% dextrose, pH 5.5,$30^{\circ}C$ and the expression level of CGTase was 0.624units/mL for 48 h culture.

  • A 7.5 kilobases hybrid plasmid, designated as pCE1301, was constructed by combining Eschurichia cwli plasmid pBELl which carries the kanamycin resistance gene of Tn5 with a cryptic plasmid, pSRl of Corynebacterium glutamicum. pCE1301 was transformed C. glutaicum by PEG-mediated protoplast method and its transformation efficiency was about $3.0\times 10^3$ transformants per $\mu g$ of the hybrid plasmid DNA. The physical map reveals that pCE1301 has single restriction sites for SalI and EcoRl, respectively. 'The kanamycin resistance of pCE1301 was stably maintained in C. glutamicum up to 25 generations and any segregation was not detected. pCI31301 was also introduced into Brevibacterium flavum and E coil, and replicated in those strains. pCE1301 was proved to be useiul in cloning the homoscrine dehydrogenase gene from C. glutamicum.

  • In order to develop useful plasmid vectors for Zymomonas cells, attempts were made to isolate natural plasmids from Z. mobilis ATCC10988. Among a few plasmids isolated, a small plasmid of 3.9 Kb size was chosen and designated as pZM3. By introducing the replication origin of pZM3 into pBR325, a hybrid plasmid vector of 8.4 Kb size, pHZ22, was constructed. This vector contained chloramphenicol resistant gene as a selectable marker and proved to be conjugally transmissible and stably maintained in Z. mobilis. Tetracycline resistant gene was isolated from RP4 and introduced into pHZ22 to make a new vector called pHZT224 of 10.7 Kb size. Through n series of experiments, it was evident that these plasmid vectors containing selectable markers of chloramphenicol and tetracycline resistance were shuttle vectors functional in Z. mobilis as well as E. coli.

  • We present a novel 3D fabrication method with single X-ray process utilizing an X-ray mask in which a micro-actuator is integrated. An X-ray absorber is electroplated on the shuttle mass driven by the integrated micro-actuator during deep X-ray exposures. 3D microstructures are revealed by development kinetics and modulated in-depth dose distribution in resist, usually PMMA. Fabrication of X-ray masks with integrated electrothermal xy-stage and electrostatic actuator is presented along with discussions on PMMA development characteristics. Both devices use $20-\mu\textrm{m}$-thick overhanging single crystal Si as a structural material and fabricated using deep reactive ion etching of silicon-on-insulator wafer, phosphorous diffusion, gold electroplating, and bulk micromachining process. In electrostatic devices, $10-\mu\textrm{m}-thick$ gold absorber on $1mm{\times}1mm$ Si shuttle mass is supported by $10-\mu\textrm{m}-wide$, 1-mm-long suspension beams and oscillated by comb electrodes during X-ray exposures. In electrothermal devices, gold absorber on 1.42 mm diameter shuttle mass is oscillated in x and y directions sequentially by thermal expansion caused by joule heating of the corresponding bent beam actuators. The fundamental frequency and amplitude of the electrostatic devices are around 3.6 kHz and $20\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively, for a dc bias of 100 V and an ac bias of 20 VP-P (peak-peak). Displacements in x and y directions of the electrothermal devices are both around $20{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$at 742 mW input power. S-shaped and conical shaped PMMA microstructures are demonstrated through X-ray experiments with the fabricated devices.
