Proline is known as an osmotrotectant to enhance tolerance against both salt and dehydration stresses. A P5CS ($\Delta^1$-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase) plays a major role in regulation of synthesis of proline. An overexpression of the mothbean P5CS gene in transgenic tobacco plant increased the levels of proline and osmotolerance. In an attempt to look for the possibility to use content of proline as well as a level of P5CS gene expression as molecular markers for salt tolerance, the amounts of proline and transcript levels of P5CS were measured as functions of either concentration of NaCl or length of treatment period among different species of zoysiagrass. Hybridzoysia showed the highest level of proline ($329\mu\textrm{g}$/g.f.w.) among five different species of zoysiagrass at 250 mM NaCl in 24 hours. The level of P5CS transcript was also the highest in the hybridzoysia at 250 mM NaCl in 24 hours. The transcriptions of P5CS gene were induced at the rates of 1.2, 1.2, 1.8, and 1.8, upon treatment of 250 mM NaCl in Z. japonica, Z. matrella, Z. sinica and hybridzoysia respectively. Based on a correlation between the level of P5CS transcript and the proline content among different species of zoysiagrass, a comparative structural analysis of the gene for P5CS from either Z. sinica or hybridzoysia may lead to an understanding of mechanism for salt tolerance shown differently among zoysiagrasses.

IoT(Internet of Thing) 환경이 도래하면서 다양한 무선 통신 기술들이 사용되고 있다. 그 중에서 가장 많이 쓰이는 무선 통신 기술은 Z-WAVE이다. Z-WAVE는 저전력, 양방향 RF 등의 장점을 가지며, 세계 스마트 홈 시장에서 가장 폭 넓게 사용되는 기술이다. 이 기술을 채택한 연합을 Z-WAVE 연합이라고 하는데, 이 연합은 수백 개 이상의 제조사들과 1000개 이상의 활성화된 제품을 가지고 있다. 하지만 Z-WAVE는 중간자 공격 등과 같은 보안성의 취약점을 가지고 있으며 아직까지 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 IoT 환경에서 Z-WAVE 기반의 향상된 키 교환 프로토콜 기법을 제안한다.

We carried out this study to identify the vegetation structure of Abies nephrolepis Maxim. in the southern region of Gangwon-do. We conducted field investigations in 192 stands (400 m²). We analyzed the importance, value, and species diversity of the stands after classifying community type using the methods of the Z-M School of Phytosociology and two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN). We classified the stand structure of A. nephrolepis into th e A. nephrolepis-Acer pseudosieboldianum community, We classified the A. nephrolepis-Dryopteris crassirhizoma community, as an A. nephrolepis typical community. We identified A. nephrolepis, Quercus mongolica, Betula ermanii, Sorbus commixta, Tilia amurensis, and Acer pseudosieboldianum as having high importance value.

[6]-Gingerol is known as the major bioactive constituent of ginger. In the study, it was observed to effectively protect against ${\bullet}OH$-induced DNA damage ($IC_{50}$ $328.60{\pm}24.41{\mu}M$). Antioxidant assays indicated that [6]-gingerol could efficiently scavenge various free radicals, including ${\bullet}OH$ radical ($IC_{50}$ $70.39{\pm}1.23{\mu}M$), ${\bullet}O_2{^-}$ radical ($IC_{50}$ $228.40{\pm}9.20{\mu}M$), $DPPH{\bullet}$radical ($IC_{50}$ $27.35{\pm}1.44{\mu}M$), and $ABTS{^+}{\bullet}$radical ($IC_{50}$ $2.53{\pm}0.070{\mu}M$), and reduce $Cu^{2+}$ ion ($IC_{50}$ $11.97{\pm}0.68{\mu}M$). In order to investigate the possible mechanism, the reaction product of [6]-gingerol and $DPPH{\bullet}$ radical was further measured using HPLC combined mass spectrometry. The product showed a molecular ion peak at m/z 316 $[M+Na]^+$, and diagnostic fragment loss (m/z 28) for quinone. On this basis, it can be concluded that: (i) [6]-gingerol can effectively protect against ${\bullet}OH$-induced DNA damage; (ii) a possible mechanism for [6]-gingerol to protect against oxidative damage is ${\bullet}OH$ radical scavenging; (iii) [6]-gingerol scavenges ${\bullet}OH$ radical through hydrogen atom ($H{\bullet}$) transfer (HAT) and sequential electron (e) proton transfer (SEPT) mechanisms; and (iv) both mechanisms make [6]-gingerol be oxidized to semi-quinone or quinone forms.

We will show that if d is a cubefree integer and n is an integer, then with some suitable conditions, there are no primes p and a positive integer m such that d is a cubic residue (mod p), $3\;{\nmid}\;m$, p || n if and only if there are integers x, y, z such that $$x^3\;+\;dy^3\;+\;d^2z^3\;-\;3dxyz\;=\;n$$.

A normalized analytic function f is parabolic starlike if w(z) := zf' (z)/f(z) maps the unit disk into the parabolic region {w : Re w > |w - 1|}. Sharp estimates on the third Hermitian-Toeplitz determinant are obtained for parabolic starlike functions. In addition, upper bounds on the third Hankel determinants are also determined.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of 38% carbamide peroxide on the microleakage of class V cavities restored with either a silorane-based composite or two methacrylate-based composites. Materials and Methods: A total of 96 class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of extracted human teeth with both enamel and dentin margins and were randomly assigned into three groups of Filtek P90 (3M-ESPE) + P90 system adhesive (3M-ESPE)(group A), Filtek Z250 (3M-ESPE) + Adper Prompt L-Pop (3M-ESPE)(group B) and Filtek Z350XT (3M-ESPE) + Adper Prompt L-Pop (group C). Half of the teeth were randomly underwent bleaching (38% carbamide peroxide, Day White, Discus Dental, applying for 15 min, twice a day for 14 day) while the remaining half (control) were not bleached. Dye penetration was measured following immersion in basic fuchsine. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests at a level of 0.05. Results: No significant differences were found between composites in the control groups in enamel (p = 0.171) or dentin (p = 0.094) margins. After bleaching, microleakage of Z250 (in enamel [p = 0.867] or dentin [p = 0.590] margins) and Z350 (in enamel [p = 0.445] or dentin [p = 0.591]margins) did not change significantly, but the microleakage of P90 significantly increased in both enamel (p = 0.042) and dentin (p = 0.002) margins. Conclusions: No significant differences were noted between the bleached and control subgroups of two methacrylate-based composites in enamel or dentin margins. Microleakage of silorane-based composite significantly increased after bleaching.

We aimed to investigate the antiviral activity of Zanthoxylum species against influenza virus A/WS/33, A/PR/8 and B/Lee/40 used by sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and the action of leaves extracts of Zanthoxylum piperitum on life cycle of influenza virus A/WS/33. Among the twelve extracts, only the leaf extract of Z. piperitum exhibited strong antiviral activity at low concentration of less than 10${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ with no citotoxicity (50${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) against all of three viruses. In addition, only oseltamivir showed antiviral activity with $IC_{50}$ of 65.3${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against influenza A/WS/33 among the viruses. Furthermore, the leaf extract of Z. piperitum suppressed infection of influenza virus A/WS/33, when added just prior (-1 hr) or after virus inoculation (0 hr). Leaf extract of Z. piperitum directly affect the infectivity of influenza virus A/WS/33 particles. Therefore, Leaf extract of Z. piperitum exhibited higher antiviral activity against three influenza viruses than that of the oseltamivir, which directly interacts with influenza A/WS/33 particles, affecting the initial stages of infection such as receptor binding and virus entry.

For µ = (µ₁, …, µ_t) (µ_j > 0), ξ = (z₁, …, z_t, w) ∈ ℂ^n₁ × … × ℂ^n_t × ℂ^m, define $${\Omega}({\mu},t)=\{{\xi}{\in}\mathbb{B}_{n_1}{\times}{\cdots}{\times}\mathbb{B}_{n_t}{\times}\mathbb{C}^m:{\parallel}w{\parallel}^2 where $\mathbb{B}_{n_j}$ is the unit ball in ℂ^n_j (1 ≤ j ≤ t), C(χ, µ) is a constant only depending on χ = (n₁, …, n_t) and µ = (µ₁, …, µ_t), which is a special type of generalized Cartan-Hartogs domain. We will give some sufficient and necessary conditions for the boundedness of some type of operators on L^p(Ω(µ, t), ω) (the weighted L^p space of Ω(µ, t) with weight ω, 1 < p < ∞). This result generalizes the works from certain classes of generalized complex ellipsoids to the generalized Cartan-Hartogs domain Ω(µ, t).
