Three di-acyl chlolide reagents, adipoyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride and isophthaloyl chloride, were used as spacer reagents to prepare bonded type of three cellulose (3,5-dimethylphenyl)carbamate (CDMPC) chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The CDMPC CSPs were prepared using these three acid chlorides as spacer agents at the 6-position of the primary hydroxyl group on the glucose unit of cellulose regioselectively. The chiral recognition ability of the prepared CSPs for five racemates was evaluated by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the following mobile phases: hexane/isopropanol (IPA), hexane/IPA/tetrahydrofuran (THF) and hexane/IPA/chloroform. The result showed that these prepared CSPs can be used in THF and chloroform solutions and the chiral recognition abilities of the CSPs were improved depending on the eluents and chiral samples.

An inductance measurement method for interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) is proposed in this paper. In this method, the motor is measured at standstill condition, and only a 3-phase voltage source, an oscilloscope and a DC voltage source are required. Depending on the deductive dq-axis voltage equations in the stationary frame of reference, the dq-axis inductances at different current magnitude and vector angle can be calculated by the measured 3-phase voltages and currents. And hence, the saturation and cross-magnetizing effect of the inductances are measurable. This paper introduces the principle equations, experiment setup, data processing, and results comparison on the concentrated-winding and distributed-winding IPMSMs.

Crown ether-based HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been successfully utilized in the resolution of various racemic compounds containing a primary amino group. Especially, CSPs based on chiral crown ethers incorporating chiral binaphthyl unit or tartaric acid unit and based on phenolic pseudo chiral crown ethers have shown high chiral recognition efficiency. In this account paper, a review on the development of crown etherbased HPLC CSPs, their structural characteristics and applications to the resolution of racemic compounds including chiral drugs containing a primary or secondary amino group with the variation of the type and the content of mobile phase components and with the variation of the column temperature is presented.

Two liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid were successfully applied in the resolution of racemic tocainide and its analogues. In the resolution of tocainide, especially, the CSP containing N-CH₃ amide tethering groups was quite effective, showing clear baseline resolution (RS: 2.66) with reasonable enantioselectivity ( a: 1.25). Consequently, the CSP containing N-CH₃ amide tethering groups is expected to be useful to monitor the enantiomeric composition of tocainide in clinical samples. In addition, the chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of tocainide and its analogues on the two CSPs were found controllable by varying the content and the type of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase.

Using microarray analysis, we determined those Salmonella genes induced at the entry of stationary phase, and subsequently discovered that uncharacterized yliH was induced most dramatically. We set out to establish the molecular mechanism underlying the stationary phase induction of yliH under the standard culture condition, LB with vigorous aeration, by analyzing its promoter activity in various mutant backgrounds, lacking stationary phase ${\sigma}$, $RpoS^-$, or stringent signal molecules ppGpp, ${\Delta}relA$ ${\Delta}spoT$. It was found that the stationary phase induction of yliHp was partially dependent on rpoS but entirely dependent on ppGpp. DNA sequence analysis revealed that the Salmonella yliH gene is composed of 381 base-pair nucleotides, with overall amino acid sequence revealing 76.38% amino acid identity and 88.98% similarity with Escherichia coli yliH, although no motif from data base was noted for its possible role. Recently however, it has been reported that yliH in E. coli was implicated in biofilm formation and motility by repressing these activities (Domka et al., 2006). We have constructed a mutant Salmonella deleting yliH gene by allele replacement and examined its phenotype, and found that the yliH in Salmonella more or less affects motility and adherence by enhancing these activities. The effect on biofilm formation in Salmonella was uncertain. Moreover, addition of cloned yliH of E. coli into Salmonella did not reduce motility or adherence. Taken together, it appears that the pathways implicating yliH for biofilm formation and motility in E. coli and in Salmonella are somewhat different.

Bacterial serine proteases, especially those from Bacillus, have been extensively studied. Intracellular serine protease 1 (Isp1) is responsible for most of the proteolytic activity in B. subtilis. To identify Isp1 substrates and study its physiological functions, a mutant of Isp1, which has lost the enzymatic activity, was constructed. Through a GST affinity chromatographic method, several Bacillus proteins that specifically interacted with S246A mutant Isp1 protein were isolated and then identified by MALDI-TOF analysis. ClpC and elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) were among those proteins specifically bound to mutant Isp1. In addition, several proteins involved in stationary phase adaptive response (such as RNA polymerase sigma factor, spoIIIE) were also identified. These findings led us to suggest that the major function of this serine protease, whose expression is greatly increased during the stationary phase, is to mediate transition of the cell into the stationary phase in a proper and timely manner.

A new liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase based on (2S,3S)-O,O'-bis-(10-undecenoyl)-N,N'-bis-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-2,3-diamino-1,4-butandiol was prepared starting from (2R,3R)-1,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2,3-butanediol. The new chiral stationary phase was applied to the resolution of racemic anilide derivatives of N-acetyl-a-amino acids, 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol and 3,3'-diaryl-1,1'-bi-2-naphthols. The CSP was also applied to the resolution of some chiral drugs including a diuretic, bendroflumethiazide, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents such naproxen and alminoprofen. In every case, the chiral recognition efficiency of the new CSP was quite excellent.

Sulfated ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (SCD)-coated zirconia monolith was used as the chiral stationary phase in capillary electrochromatography for enantiomeric separation of basic chiral compounds. SCD adsorbed on the zirconia surface provided a stable chiral stationary phase in reversed-phase eluents. Retention, chiral selectivity and resolution of a set of six basic chiral compounds were measured in eluents of varying pH, composition of methanol and buffer. Optimum mobile phase condition for the separation of the compounds was found to be methanol content of 30%, buffer concentration of 30 mM and pH of 4.0.

Salmonella is facultative intracellular pathogen that can survive and replicate in macrophages even though these cells are equipped with a plethora of anti-microbial mechanisms. To survive in this hostile intracellular environment, Salmonella has evolved numerous defense mechartisms. An approximately 20 kDa protein was detected as a stationary-phase specific protein band in cytosolic fraction. It was identified as a DNA binding protein in stationary phase (Dps) by analysis of MALDI-TOF assay. It has been known that Dps, the protein produced in the stationary phase of bacteria, allows DNA to form chromatin by binding to DNA nonspecifically and protects DNA from reactive oxidative species (ROS). For further study, Dps specific polyclonal antibodies were generated by injection of purified Dps protein into rabbit. To examine the Finfluence of several regulatory proteins in the expression dps gene, Dps protein level in various S. typhimurium mutants defecting regulatory proteins were investigated by Westernblot using Dps specific polyclonal antibodies.
