This paper shows added mass and inertia can be acquired from the pure heaving motion and pure pitching motion respectively. A Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) test for the spheroid-type Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) was compared with a theoretical calculation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in this paper. The VPMM test has been carried out at a towing tank with specially manufactured equipment. The linear equations of motion on the vertical plane were considered for theoretical calculation, and CFD results were obtained by commercial CFD package. The VPMM test results show good agreement with theoretical calculations and the CFD results, so that the applicability of the VPMM equipment for an underwater vehicle can be verified with a sufficient accuracy.

Variations in adriamycin uptake and cytotoxicity were studied in tumor cells that were grown in different growth states and microenvironments. RIF-1 tumor cells were maintained in an RPMI 1640 medium, and grown in either a monolayer or multicell spheroids. For exponentially growing cells, adriamycin cytotoxicity increased with increased dosage up to 2.5 $\mu$g/ml, and this cytotoxicity was reduced when the cells were grown in a plateau phase or in an acidic microenvironment (pH 6.6). This reduced cytotoxicity was correlated with the uptake of the drug. For multicell spheroids, the cytotoxicity of the drug was reduced dramatically, and this reduction was also correlated with a reduced uptake of the drug and an acidic pH inside of the spheroids. When the drug cytotoxicity was evaluated at different locations within the spheroids, the cells in the inner regions were least affected by the drug, suggesting that both an acidic microenvironment and noncycling plateau phase cells are contributing factors in decreasing the efficacy of the drug in an organized tissue, such as multicell spheroids.

암조직의 내부에서 hypoxia와 glucose depletion 등의 microenvironmental stress를 받게 되면 necrosis가 유도되고, 실제로 암 조직 내부에서 necrotic core 형성이 관찰된다. Necrotic cells은 high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)를 extracellular space로 방출하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 방출된 HMGB1은 tumor-promoting cytokine으로 작용함으로써 tumor development 시 inflammation, metabolism 및 metastasis에 기여한다. 본 연구에서 non-invasive breast cancer cells MCF-7이 solid tumor의 in vitro model인 multicellular tumor spheroid (MTS) 배양을 통해 완전한 구형의 MTS를 형성하며 MTS가 성장함에 따라 inner region에 necrosis가 유도됨을 밝혔다. 또한 MCF-7 세포의 MTS 배양은 Snail 의존적으로 epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)를 유도함을 관찰하였다. HMGB1의 cell surface receptors인 RAGE, TLR2, TLR4 발현이 MTS 배양에 의해 증가됨을 발견하였다. RAGE, TLR2, TLR4 를 knockdown한 결과 MTS 성장을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 MTS에 의해 증가되는 Snail 발현을 억제함을 밝혔다. 이는 MTS-induced Snail 발현이 RAGE/TLR2/TLR4의존적으로 조절되며 RAGE/TLR2/TLR4-Snail이 MTS 성장에 관여하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 Snail, RAGE, TLR2, TLR4 shRNA는 MTS 배양에 의해 유도되는 EMT를 억제함을 밝혔다. 실제 인간 암조직에서 정상조직에 비해 RAGE, TLR2, TLR4 유전자의 발현이 높음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 HMGB1이 RAGE/TLR2/4-Snail axis를 통해 MTS 배양에 따른 성장 및 EMT에 중요하게 작용할 것으로 예상된다.

Chitosan-alginate capsules were formed by the electrostatic interactions and had appropriate mechanical strength, permeability to albumin and stability to hepatocyte. Pig hepatocytes were isolated and immobilized in chitosan-alginate capsules. Encapsulation in 3 minutes and spheroid formation period of 24 hours were optimum condition for the high liver function. Pig hepatocytes density of $90.{\times}10^6$ cells/mL in capsules was suitable for the application to bioartificial liver support system.

Using the detailed two-dimensional surface photometry of 39 galaxies, the observed profiles are decomposed into spheroid, disk and bar components simultaneously. From the analyses of decomposition parameters, the correlations among the three components are investigated to find the global property of barred galaxies. And the lens and ring components, and spiral arm patterns are also examined with Hubble type and decomposition parameters.

An improved version of the galatic mass distribution has been derived by increasing the number of shells in each spheroid of our earlier model. It is found that the increase of the number of the shell improves the model considerably, thus making it agree far better with observations.

We have examined bulge morphology of 104 bright barred galaxies, using V-band surface photometry based on the Kiso Schmidt plates. By measuring the bulge ellipticity and bulge-disk misalignment, we have classified bulges into four morphological types: sphere, oblate spheroid, triaxial ellipsoid, and pseudo triaxial ellipsoid. About half of the observed galaxies are found to have triaxial bulges with mean ellipticity of 0.24. They are distributed uniformly along the Hubble sequence.

Glycine이 R.japonicum의 spheroplasting에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. Fast-growing R. japonicum R-271은 4mg/ml의 glycine 함유배지에서 생육이 정상이었으나 세포 형태는 배양시간에 따라 변화하였으며 colony 형성단위는 log-phasedlgn 현저히 감소하였다. R-271은 3.5mg/ml glycine 함유배지에서 6시간 배양후에, slow grower R-214는 0.1mg/ml glycine 함유배지에서 24시간 배양후에 lysozyme의 작용을 받았다. 두 균주 모두 이러한 처리에 의해 96%이상의 spheroplast 형성빈도를 나타내었다. 한편 spheroid-type cell은 대두근의 nodule에서 분리한 bacteroid에서도 관찰되었으며 nodule extract에 존재하는 유리 amino acid 중 glycine 은 다른 amino acid에 비해 소량 존재하고 있었다.

Commonly known as the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus is one of the most widely cultivated mushroom species of edible fungi. In the breeding of new button mushroom, Seolwon was developed by crossing two homokaryons. Because of the predominantly pseudohomothallic life cycle, only a small percentage of homokaryotic meiospores are produced, which do not fruit. Homokaryotic cultures derived from these types of single spores produce a vegetative mycelium that contain a variable number of genetically identical nuclei per cell. After crossing two homokaryons, hybrids were cultivated on a small scale and on a commercial scale at a farm. The spawn was made by a commercial spawn producer and the spawned compost by a commercial compost producer. Mycelial growth of Seolwon on CDA was better at $25^{\circ}C$ when it was compared with that of Seolgang. The mature cap shape of new strain Seolwon is oblate spheroid and the immature cap shape is round to oblate spheroid. The cap diameter was 39.7 mm on average. In comparison with white strain Seolgang, the strain had a yield that was 11% higher. It produced fruiting bodies which had a higher weight on average per fruiting body and were 9.7% firmer with a good shelf life. Days of fruiting body were 1-2 days later than those of Seolgang. The physical characteristics such as springiness, chewiness, adhesiveness, gumminess were better than that of Seolgang.
