Several high nitrogen stainless steel ingots(100kg) were fabricated with changing Ni and $[N]_2$ contents by Pressurized Vacuum Induction Melting(P_VIM). After free forging process, chemical compositions, microstructure and mechanical properties were estimated. Hardness was increased with the increase of $[N]_2$ content. Furthermore, microstructure including a lot of tempering twins was observed with optical microscope. Mechanical properties were estimated as function of solution treatment temperature and cooling method(air/water) under duration time of 1 hr on sample that were fabricated with Ni content under the atmospheric $[N]_2$ pressure. At solution treatment range of $1050{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$, hardness was decreased with the increase of solution temperature and there were little discrepancy of microstructure and hardness with cooling method. Computer simulation was carried out in order to inspect pass schedule in cold rolling process. When the condition of simulation was roll speed of 2.5mpm, rolling rate $15{\sim}17%$ per pass, it was ascertained that the formation such as deformation by sticking and lamellar sliver etc. was restricted from a simulation.

이차구개는 발생과정에서 구개선반의 형성과 성장, 거상과 융합의 과정을 통해 형성된다. 이와 같은 이차구개의 형성과정은 미세한 분자유전학적 신호전달기전에 의해 조절되는 것으로 알려져 있어서, 신호전달과정에 관여하는 유전인자의 발현이상이 되면 정상적인 이차구개가 형성되지 못하고 구개파열이라는 선천성 기형이 발생된다. 구개파열의 유발인자들에 대한 많은 연구에도 불구하고 현재까지 정상적인 이차구개의 형성을 조절하는 분자유전학적 기전에 대해서는 명확히 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이차구개의 형태분화를 조절하는 분자유전학적 기전을 알아보고자, 이차구개 형성의 내적 조절인자 중 핵심유전자로 알려져 있는 Osr2가 결손된 생쥐의 이차구개 형성과정에서 정상생쥐에 비해 발현의 변동이 나타나는 유전자를 확인하였다. 유전자 발현의 변동은 발생 14.5일(E14.5)의 구개선반으로부터 추출한 total RNA를 이용하여 ACP-based GeneFishing PCR을 시행하여 확인하였고, 각각의 변동된 유전자를 동정하여 정상생쥐의 이차구개 형성과정에서의 발현양상을 in situ hybridization을 시행하여 확인하였다. 총 120쌍의 primer를 이용한 검색을 통해서 정상생쥐의 구개선반에 비해 mutant에서 발현이 변동된 유전자는 7개가 검출되었고, 이들은 모두 정상생쥐에 비해 mutant에서 발현이 증가되는 것으로 확인되었다. 검출된 유전자는 vimentin(Vim), ${\beta}$-tropomyosin 2(Tpm2), thioredoxin-like 5(Txnl5), procollagen type II alpha 1(Col2a1), Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7(IGFbp7), Sui 1 homologs(Sui 1), Defender against cell death1(Dad1)이었다. 검출된 유전자를 동정하여 정상생쥐의 구개 형성과정에서의 발현양상을 알아본 결과, Col2a1 을 제외한 유전자들은 모두 E13.5의 구개선반에서 특이적으로 발현되고 있었으나 구개선반이 융합된 E15.5에서는 Vim, Txnl5 그리고 Dad1 만이 봉합선을 따라 발현이 지속되고 있었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 검출된 유전자들은 구개선반의 형태분화과정에서 발현되어 이차구개의 형성과정에 관여할 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 이들은 이차구개 형성의 내적조절인자인 Osr2의 downstream target 으로 구개선반의 성장과 융합과정에 직접적으로 관여하는 유전물질일 것으로 추정된다.

This study was to detect MBL (metallo-${\beta}$-lactamase) among glucose non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimen and to search antimicrobial combination therapy against MBL producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among fifty one isolates of Gram-negative bacilli with reduced imipenem susceptibility ($MIC{\ge}8{\mu}g/ml$), nine isolates have shown positive results in MBL detection test. They were seven Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans and two P. aeruginosa. The results from EDTA-DDST coin-cided with those of PCR and nucleotide sequence analysis which showed the presence of $bla_{VIM-2}$. The combination of aztreonam (AZT) and piperacillin-tazobactarn (TZP) or AZT and amikacin (AN) screened by one disk synergy test showed no synergistic effect. Triple antibiotic combination therapy with AZT, TZP and AN, however, was shown to be effective and the most synergistic after 8 hrs of exposure. This result strongly suggest that the triple combination therapy of AZT, TZP, and AN could be useful for the treatment of infection caused by MBL producing Gram-negative bacilli.

The rapid increase and dissemination of carbapene mases, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), has become a major problem within the field of healthcare-related infection. There are few antibiotics to treat carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections, so the identification of resistant bacterial mechanisms is critical to initiate infection control and conduct epidemiological research. A rapid and effective method for detecting KPC-producing bacteria is needed to avoid therapeutic failures and introduce measures to prevent and control the dissemination of these multi-resistant bacteria. During the study period, 31 isolates (seven isolates of Acinetobacter spp., six isolates of Morganella morganii, five isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, five isolates of Proteus mirabilis, one isolate of Proteus vulgaris, two isolates of Enterobacter cloacae, one isolate of Enterobacter aerogenes, one isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae, one isolate of Klebsiella oxytoca, one isolate of Serratia marcescens and one isolate of Escherichia coli) were identified by the VITEK. Gram negative rod bacteria were the most frequently isolated from urine (35.5%), blood (19.4%), sputum (16.1%), pus (9.7%), ascitic fluid (9.7%), tracheal aspirates (6.5%) and bile juice (3.2%). Analysis using the PCR method identified the bla_KPC gene in the K. oxytoca1 strain, but the bla_IMP, bla_VIM and bla_OXA-48 genes are not amplified. In conclusion, diagnosis using the PCR method can accurately and quickly diagnose KPC, thus establishing quick preventive measures to prevent the spread of KPC in hospitals.

The Purposes of this study were to investigate the choice dimensions in purchasing the medium-low priced casual clothing, the influence of them on the preference of medium-low priced casual clothing, and the brand images of six medium-low priced casual clothing using the perceptual map. The Questionnaires were administered to 540 college students living in Seoul (340) and County of Chungnam(200). The data were analyzed by frequency, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The choice dimensions in purchasing the medium-low price casual clothing were identified as exclusiveness/style, intrinsic characteristics, promotion and price/distance. 2) Exclusiveness/style dimension influenced most on the preference of medium-low priced casual, intrinsic characteristics, price/distance dimension were followed. Promotion dimension appeared to have an insignificant influence. These results were consistent in both Seoul and the County of Chungnam. 3) Perceptual mapping showed Hunt and J-vim had the best brand images, Maypole and Omphalos were followed. Tipi Cosi and I-land appeared to have the worst brand image. The college students living in the County of Chungnam perceived that all six brands of medium low priced casual clothing to be exclusive in their style. In addition, it was perceived less promoted, more expensive and farther than Seoul counterparts.

For the molecular detection of Sweet potaio feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) from diseased sweet potato plants, reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed with the use of a set of virus-specific primers to amplify an 816 bp product. The viral coat protein gene was selected for the design of the primers. No PCR product was amplified when Turnip mosaic virus, Potato vims Y or Cucumber mosaic virus were used as template in RT-PCR with the SPFMV-specific primers. The lowest concentration of template viral RNA required for detection was 10 fg. The vim was rapidly detected from total nucleic acids of leaves and roots from the virus-infected sweet potato plants as well as from the purified viral RNA by the RT-PCR. Twenty-four sweet potato samples were selected and analyzed by RT-PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). RFLP analysis of the PCR products showed three restriction patterns, which resulted in some point mutations suggesting the existence of quasi-species for the vims in the infected sweet potato plants.

This study was to evaluate the effect of carbon content on metallic change and fatigue characteristics with Fe-29%Ni-17%Co, low heat expansion alloy, widely using electronic components, precision machines, and sealing with glass and metal etc. The steels were fabricated with variation of carbon content, 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.1, and 0.20% with VIM and tensile test and fatigue test were performed to achieve the above purpose. The more carbon content, the higher hardness value and yield strength. But elongation of 0.03%C, 0.06%C, and 0.10%C specimen decreased about 2.2%, 1.5% and 0.8% respectively more than that of the base metal. Especially the strength and elongation of 0.20%C specimen increased simultaneously about 14.4% and 7.5%. Fatigue life of 0.03%C specimen decreased but the more carbon content, the higher fatigue life over 0.06% carbon content more than that of base metal.

The purpose of this research is to study the nonlinear free vibration and post-buckling analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beams resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation. Uniformly and functionally graded distributions of single walled carbon nanotubes as reinforcing phase are considered in the polymeric matrix. The modified form of rule of mixture is used to estimate the material properties of CNTRC beams. The governing equations are derived employing Euler-Bernoulli beam theory along with energy method and Hamilton's principle. Applying von $K\acute{a}rm\acute{a}n's$ strain-displacement assumptions, the geometric nonlinearity is taken into consideration. The developed governing equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are solved using variational iteration method (VIM) and the analytical expressions and numerical results are obtained for vibration and stability analysis of nanocomposite beams. The presented comparative results are indicative for the reliability, accuracy and fast convergence rate of the solution. Eventually, the effects of different parameters, such as foundation stiffness, volume fraction and distributions of carbon nanotubes, slenderness ratio, vibration amplitude, coefficients of elastic foundation and boundary conditions on the nonlinear frequencies, vibration response and post-buckling loads of FG-CNTRC beams are examined. The developed analytical solution provides direct insight into parametric studies of particular parameters of the problem.

The vein-necrosis strain or potato virus Y (PVY-Vff) and black shank (Phytophlhora parasitica roar. nicotianae) causes severe damage on burley tobacco(Wicotiana tabacum L.) in Korea, A new burley tobacco resistance to PVY and black shank, KB 110, was developed by Korea Ginseng and Tobacco Research Institute. It was developed from the cross of Burley 21 with TC 591 in 1990, and was backrossed to Burley 21 in the following season. TC 591 has resistance to PVY and moderate resistance to race 0 of black shank, but it is susceptible to tobacco mosaic vim (TMV). KB 110 was evaluated for its resistance to PVY, TMV and black shank in the greenhouse and at fields for preliminary and performance trials. KB 110 which has secreting glandular trichomes was resistant to PVY-VN, TW and black shank. It had an erect growth habit and two more leaves per plant than that of Burley 21, and matures two to three days later. It yielded approximately 3 percent more cured leaf than the standard cultivar Burley 21, but other plant characteristics were very similar to those of Burley 21. It had acceptable standards for chemical and physical characteristics of lured leaf on regional farm test in 1995-1997. KB 110 produced average yields of good quality tobaccos and was appeared to be resistant to PVY inwhere occurrence of the virus are severe chronic at burley growing area.

This study were done to know the effects of Dangkiyeumja on the in vivo and in vitro immune responses of mice. The recipes of Dangkiyeumja used in this study enhanced such, cellular functions of immunocytes as phagocytic capacity of macrophages, rossett-eforming abilities of splenocytes and metabolic activities of lymphocytes, However, the same recipes decreased the formation of such reactive oxygen intermediates(ROI) as superoxide and hydrogenperoxide from the macrophages. The effects of the same recipes on the in vim immune responses was suppressive on the cellular immune response(CIR)measured by delayed-type hypersensitivity against dinitrofluorobenzene and mildly enhancing for the humoral immune response measured by antibody production against sheep red blood cells. The results of this study could be summarized as follow: 1. Administration of Dangkiyeumja enhanced the phagocytic activity of the murine macrophage. 2. Administration of Dangkiyeumja decreased the formation of ROI in the murine macrophage 3. Administration of Dangkiyeumja increased the number of the splenic rotte forming cells in the mouse. 4. Administration of DangKiyeumja did not effect the antibody production against sheep red blood cells. 5. Administration of Dangkiyeumja depressed the delayed-type hypersenitivity against dinitrofluoro benzene in the mouse. The result of this study suggest that Dangkiyeumja could ameliorate the hypersensitivity reactions by reducing the formation of ROI and decreasing the CIR without affecting the other functions of immunocytes.
