This study was carried out to investigate the effect of mine activity on paddy fields, agricultural water, and plants in the ruined Oksung Cu-Zn mine area. Soil samples collected from paddy fields adjacent to the Cu-Zn mine sites were sequentially extracted and determined the contents of heavy metals such as Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr and Ni. Distribution of exchangeable heavy metals in soils was 30.2% of Cd, 11.3% of Zn, 2.2% of Cu, 4.6% of Cr, 0.6% of Pb and 3.9% of Ni. Water soluble heavy metals were only detected with Zn. The contents of heavy metals in water collected from the mine were 0.01 of Cd, 27.35 of Zn, 4.86 of Cu, 1.04 of Pb, 0.03 of Cr and $0.08mg\;L^{-1}$ of Ni. while the contents in waler collected out of the mine were 16.67 of Zn, 0.59 of Cu, 0.49 of Pb, 0.05 of Cr and $0.06mg\;L^{-1}$ of Ni. On the other hand, agricultural water near mine area were 1.26 of Zn, 0.05 of Cu, 0.05 of Pb and $0.02mg\;L^{-1}$ of Ni. Both Cd and Cr were not detected in the agricultural water.

Tritium is released into the environment as various form but HTO is most relevant to the incorporation of tritium into living organisms and to the formation of OBT. Tritiated compounds may be transported to humans via several tropic levels. Retention times of organically bound tritium in organisms are considerably longer than those of tritiated water, which has significant consequences on exposure dose estimation. It is rather difficult to predict the amount of OBT produced by the photosynthetic process of plants because it may be influenced by a multitude of environmental factors and plant parameters. Tritiated organic matters are classified as the exchangeable or nonexchangeable bound tritium according to the bound form. After short term HTO exposure in plants, the formation and uptake of OBT were evaluated.

We find an upper bound on the least positive exponent of a nonzero Fourier coefficient for a modular form with a nonzero constant term for ${\Gamma}_0(N)$ under certain conditions where N is a prime number $p$ or $2p$.

S-modulin in frog or its bovine homologue, recoverin, is a 26 kDa EF-hand $Ca^{2+}$-binding protein found in rod photoreceptors. The $Ca^{2+}$ -bound form of S-modulin binds to rhodopsin kinase (Rk) and inhibits its activity. Through this regulation, S-modulin is believed to modulate the light-sensitivity of a rod. In the present study, we tried to identify the interaction site of the $Ca^{2+}$ -bound form of S-modulin to Rk. First, we mapped roughly the interaction regions by using partial peptides of S-modulin. The result suggested that a specific region near the amino terminus is the interaction site of S- modulin. We then identified the essential amino acid residues in this region by using S-modulin mutant proteins: four amino acid residues were suggested to interact with Rk. These residues are located in a small closed pocket in the $Ca^{2+}$-free, inactive form of S-modulin, but exposed to the surface of the molecules in the $Ca^{2+}$ -bound, active form of S-modulin. Two additional amino acid residues were found to be crucial for the $Ca^{2+}$ -dependent conformational changes of S-modulin. The present study firstly identified the functional site of S-modulin, a member of a neuronal calcium sensor protein family.in family..

This paper is on weighted model reduction using structurally balanced truncation. For a given weighted(single or double-sided) transfer function, a state space realization with the linear fractional transformation form is obtained. Then we prove that two block diagonal LMI(linear matrix inequality) solutions always exist, and it is possible to get a reduced order model with guaranteed stability and a priori error bound. Finally, two examples are used to show the validity of proposed weighted reduction method, and the method is compared with other existing methods.

We give an upper bound for the estimation of the difference between both sides of the well-known H$\ddot{o}$lder's inequality. Moreover, an upper bound for the estimation of the difference of the integral form of H$\ddot{o}$lder's inequality is also obtained. The results of this paper are natural generalizations and refinements of those of [2-4].

In this paper we find an explicit form of upper bound of Hausdorff distance between given cubic spline curve and its quadratic spline approximation. As an application the approximation of offset curve of cubic spline curve is presented using our explicit error analysis. The offset curve of quadratic spline curve is exact rational spline curve of degree six, which is also an approximation of the offset curve of cubic spline curve.

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a guaranteed cost state feedback controller for singular systems with time-varying delays. The sufficient condition for the existence of a guaranteed cost controller, the controller design method, and the optimization problem to get the upper bound of guaranteed cost function are proposed by LMI(linear matrix inequality), singular value decomposition, Schur complements, and change of variables. Since the obtained sufficient conditions can be changed to LMI form, all solutions including controller gain and upper bound of guaranteed cost function can be obtained simultaneously.

Guaranteed cost control is a method applicable to a class of systems with uncertain parameters that guarantees an upper bound of the cost functional. This paper is concerned with a matrix decomposition technique used to yield a reasonable upper bound of the cost functional for a finite-time LQ regulator problem. The uncertain linear systems dealt with in this paper are described by a set of state equations of single-input phase-variable canonical form which contain unknown but bounded uncertain parameters.

Goodman([3]) presented the question of finding a best possible upper bound of the form $t(G)\;+\;t(G^c)$, where t(G) denote the number of triangles in given graph G. In this, the form of squares of degrees is appeared and many researches have been pursued as an application related to this. Here, we would like to deal with corollary related to the results of Nikiforov([6]).
