Hydrolysis of plant protein to non-protein nitrogen (N) or ammonia can reduce quality of silage crops. Heating or non-enzymatic browning is a treatment to inhibit this hydrolysis. This experiment was conducted to examine the effects of pre-heated soybean meal and molasses on the fermentation quality of napiergrass silage. The initial growth of napiergrass was harvested at 85 days of age and immediately chopped into about 1 cm length. About 700 g of the grass was ensiled into a laboratory silo (1.0 liter polyethylene container) and incubated for 30 days at room temperature ($28^{\circ}C$). No additives (control), molasses, soybean meal and molasses + soybean meal treatments were prepared. All additives were non-heated or heated in an oven at $150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes before ensiling. Molasses was added at 3% on the fresh weight basis and soybean meal was added at 0.5% N, respectively. After opening the silo, pH, total nitrogen (TN), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), lactic acid (LA), acetic acid (AA), butyric acid (BA) and dry matter (DM) contents were determined. The data were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance. Compared with control, molasses addition significantly decreased pH value, VBN/TN, AA and BA and increased LA production. Soybean meal addition significantly increased TN and VBN/TN of silage. Both molasses and soybean meal addition significantly reduced pH value, AA, and BA and increased DM and LA contents of silage. The heating of additives was only effective to reduce VBN/TN production compared with non-heated additives in soybean meal and soybean meal with molasses addition.

Fertilizer management has the potential to promote the storage of carbon and nitrogen in agricultural soils and thus may contribute to crop sustainability and mitigation of global warming. In this study, the effects of fertilizer practices [no fertilizer (Control), chemical fertilizer (NPK), Compost, and chemical fertilizer plus compost] on soil total carbon (TC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents in inner soil profiles of paddy soil at 0-60 cm depth were examined by using long-term field experimental site at $42^{nd}$ years after installation. TC and TN concentrations of the treatments which included N input (NPK, Compost, NPK+Compost) in plow layer (0-15 cm) ranged from 19.0 to 26.4 g $kg^{-1}$ and 2.15 to 2.53 g $kg^{-1}$, respectively. Compared with control treatment, SOC (soil organic C) and TN concentrations were increased by 24.1 and 31.0%, 57.6 and 49.7%, and 72.2 and 54.5% for NPK, Compost, and NPK+Compost, respectively. However, long term fertilization significantly influenced TC concentration and pools to 30 cm depth. TC and TN pools for NPK, Compost, NPK+Compost in 0-30 cm depth ranged from 44.8 to 56.8 Mg $ha^{-1}$ and 5.78 to 6.49 Mg $ha^{-1}$, respectively. TC and TN pools were greater by 10.5 and 21.4%, 30.3 and 29.6%, and 39.9 and 36.3% in N input treatments (NPK, Compost, NPK+Compost) than in control treatment. These resulted from the formation and stability of aggregate in paddy soil with continuous mono rice cultivation. Therefore, fertilization practice could contribute to the storage of C and N in paddy soil, especially, organic amendments with chemical fertilizers may be alternative practices to sequester carbon and nitrogen in agricultural soil.

시화호 인공습지의 유기물생산에 대한 갈대부착조류의 기여도를 평가하기 위하여 유입수의 수질특성이 다른 두 습지(반월천습지와 동화천습지)에서 4월부터 10월까지 매월 부착조류의 1차생산력을 측정하였다. 부착조류의 현존량은 반월천습지와 동화천습지에서 각각 37~3,581 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem(평균 655 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem), 87~2,093 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem(평균 527 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem)의 범위로 동화천습지에 비해 반월천습지에서 큰 값을 보였다. 반면 부착조류의 광합성효율을 나타내는 동화계수(assimilation number; AN)는 반월천습지에 비해 TN/TP 비가 작은 동화천습지에서 높았다. 두 습지로 유입되는 유입수의 TN/TP비와 AN사이에서의 음의 상관(r=0.46)으로부터 부착조류의 높은 광합성효율은 낮은 TN/TP와 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 부착조류의 단위면적당 일일 1차생산력은 반월천습지에서 307~2,473 mgC/$m^2$/day, 동화천습지에서 756~2,096 mgC/$m^2$/day로 두 습지 모두 여름에 높은 값을 보였다. 두 습지의 평균 1차생산력은 반월천습지가 부착조류의 현존량이 큼에도 불구하고 1,166 mgC/$m^2$/day으로 동화천습지(1,467 mgC/$m^2$/day)에 비해 낮았다. 이는 AN 값에서 알 수 있듯이 반월천습지의 광합성효율이 동화천습지에 비해 낮았기 때문으로 판단된다. 시화호 인공습지에서 갈대부착조류에 의한 연간 총 유기물생산은 300 tonC/year(습지 전체 유기물생산의 33%)로 습지내 유기물생산에 부착조류의 기여가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 습지내 과도한 유기물생산은 습지의 수처리효율을 저하시킬 수 있으므로 수처리용 인공습지의 관리에 있어서 갈대부착조류의 역할이 고려되어야 한다.

S. typhimurium cadBA operon의 발현에는 산성 pH와 고농도의 lysine 등 적어도 두 가지의 세포외부 신호가 요구된다. pH와 lysine신호에 따른 cadBA 발현 조절 기작을 이해하기 위하여, Tn10삽입, 자발적 돌연변이, EMS돌연변이 등을 수행하여 JF2238과 cadA-lacZ의 발현특성에 차이를 보이는 돌연변이체를 선별하였다. cadBA의 양성적 조절자의 유전자인 cadC내의 돌연변이 중 cadC4 돌연변이는 pH-비의존성, lysine-의존성 발현을, cadC6 돌연변이는 pH-비의존성, lysine-비의존성 cadA-lacZ 발현을 나타내었다. 산성 pH, lysine이 없는 조건에서 cadA-lacZ 발현을 유도하는 cadR::Tn10과 cadR3 돌연변이체를 분리하여 cadR이 lysine이 없는 조건에서 cadBA 발현을 음성적으로 조절하는 음성적 조절자의 유전자임을 알 수 있었다. cadR 돌연변이체는 lysine의 독성 유사체인 thiosine에 대해 내성($Ts^{r}$)을 나타냈으며, E. coli의 lysP 클론을 갖고 있는 pLYSP에 의해 돌연변이 형질이 보상되었다. 또한 lysine decarboxylase (CadA)의 반응산물인 cadaverine은 cadC+ 균주에서 cadA-lacZ 발현에 억제효과를 나타냈으나, cadC 돌연변이에는 억제효과가 나타나지 않았다.

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability with a new alignment method utilizing an inkjet printed polyimide (PI) layer. A good, uniform LC alignment was achieved by the good PI printing using a new alignment method. The pretilt angle generated on the printed PI layer using the alignment method was almost the same as that on printed PI layer using rubbing alignment method. In addition, the good electro-optical performances of the new aligned twisted nematic (TN) cell with printed PI surface was obtained

질소화합물은 부영양화 등 수질을 악화시키는 결과를 초래하므로 질소 제거는 수처리에 있어 가장 중요한 문제들 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 독립영양탈질 공정인 CANON (Completely Autotrophic Nitrogen-removal Over Nitrite)을 이용하여 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율을 평가하고, 미생물 군집 분석을 수행하였다. AOB (Ammonium Oxidizing Bacteria)와 ANAMMOX(ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation)균을 동시에 식종하고, $37^{\circ}C$에서 유입 암모니아성 질소농도 100 mg-N/L와 아질산성 질소 농도 100 mg-N/L 조건으로 운전한 결과, 성공적인 CANON 반응이 유도되었다. 유입수에서 아질산성 질소를 제외시키고 암모니아성 질소(100 mg-N/L)만을 공급하였을 때, DO농도 0.4 mg/L 이상에서는 CANON의 성능이 악화되었지만, DO농도를 0.3 mg/L으로 낮추자 71.3%의 총 질소제거효율을 나타내었다. 유입 암모니아성 질소 농도를 50 mg-N/L로 낮추었을 때, 질소 제거효율이 급격히 악화되었다. 그러나 유입농도를 다시 100 mg-N/L로 증가시키자 14일 만에 이전의 질소제거성능을 회복하였고, 이후 $76.1{\pm}4.9%$의 총 질소제거효율을 나타냈다. 온도를 상온($20{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) 조건으로 전환하자 초기에는 불안정한 CANON 반응이 일어났지만, 23일 이후에는 안정적인 총 질소제거효율($70.0{\pm}2.6$%)을 유지하였다. PCR-DGGE를 이용한 미생물군집 분석 결과, 식종원과 CANON의 미생물군집은 확연한 차이를 나타냈지만, CANON의 각 조건에 따른 미생물군집은 크게 다르지 않았다. 따라서 질소제거 성능의 악화는 미생물군집을 구성하는 미생물종의 변화에 기인하기 보다는 구성 미생물종들의 질소제거 활성의 저하에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 결과는 AOB와 ANAMMOX균을 식종하여 CANON 반응을 성공적으로 유도한다면, 이후 농도나 온도의 변화에도 안정적인 미생물군집을 유지할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

Human thrombopoietin (hTPO) was expressed to high levels in insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. Full-length hTPO cDNA containing a native signal peptide sequence was amplified by PCR from a human fetal liver cDNA library and cloned into the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) expression vector. Immunoblot analysis with antiserum against hTPO indicated that an approximately 55 kDa protein was produced in recombinant AcNPV infected insect cells. Recombinant hTPO was produced 4-fold higher in Trichoplusia ni (Tn5) cells than in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells. with most of the hTPO produced in Tn5 cells secreted into the culture medium. Addition of tunicamycin in the culture medium resulted in the reduction of the size of hTPO to 35-38 kDa, and most of the protein remained within the cell. These results suggest that N-glycosylation of hTPO is required for the secretion of the protein into the culture medium in insect cells. hTPO produced in insect cells induced proliferation and maturation of megakaryocyte progenitors, indicating that it is in a biologically active form.

The present study was carried out to determine the possible use of cTn-I in the cardiac myofibrillar architecture, as a potential target for in vivo radioimmunodetection of cardiac damage in a brain death pig model. Radioiodiantion of the anti-cTn-I 5F4 McAb was carried out by lactoperoxidase method. the percentage iodine incorporation achieved was 70-75%. The radioiodinated McAbs were purified on Sephadex G-25 column and characterised by Paper chromatography, Phast Gel electrophoresis and electroimmunoblotting. Radioiodinated anticTn-I 5F4 McAbs were employed alongside Pyrophosphate($Tc_{99m}$-PPi$) and $Thallium^{201}$ chloride($TI^{201}$) in 24 landrace pigs (brain-dead=18 & sham-operated=6). The percentage cardiac uptake of the radiolabelled antibody injected dose was significantly higher in the brain dead animals(0.196%) as compared to that of sham-operated animals (0.11%). Specific in vivo localization of radiolabelled McAbs in the infarcted cardiac tissue was confirmed by computer-aided reconstruction of 3-D images of the isolated heart. The preliminary results of the study revealed preferential uptake of radiolabelled antibody at the site of myocyte damage resulting from artificially induced brain death.

We have investigated the generation of pretilt angle for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with in-situ photoalignment method on polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer films. Especially, we studied in-situ photoalignment changing heating temperature from $50^{\circ}C\;to\;120^{\circ}C$ on the polymer film. The LC aligning capabilities and pretilt angle on the polymer substrates were better than those on the glass substrate using in-situ photoalignment method. It is considered that this increase in pretilt angle may be attributed to the roughness of the micro-groove substrate induced by the in-situ photoalignment. As temperature of heated subtrate and UV exposure time increase, pretilt angle of the cell used polymer film increased. It is considered that the heating temperature of substrate is attributed to generate pretilt angle. Also, electro-optical performances of the in-situ photoaligned TN cell using the polymer substrate are almost the same as that of the TN cell using the glass substrate.
