A process of organically bound germanium preparation was developed for healthy food using inorganic germanium adapted Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Adaptations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae against inorganic germanium were successively carried out through stepwise increase of GeO$_{2}$ concentration in order to produce high quantities of germanium bound yeast. Productivity of yeast and quantities of germanium in yeast were obtained 70.2 g/l and 9780 ppm, repectively, when adapted yeast and fed batch culture were used. Germanium taken-up yeast is to be organically bound germanium by evidence of no difference of germanium content after dialysis.

In the present study, we suggest a new way to reactivate performance of direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) and explain its mechanism by employing electrochemical analyses like chronoamperometry (CA) and cyclic voltammogram (CV). For the evaluation of DFAFC performance, palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) are used as anode and cathode catalysts, respectively, and are applied to a Nafion membrane by catalyst-coated membrane spraying. After long DFAFC operation performed at 0.2 and 0.4 V and then CV test, DFAFC performance is better than its initial performance. It is attributed to dissolution of anode Pd into $Pd^{2+}$. By characterizations like TEM, Z-potential, CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it is evaluated that such dissolved $Pd^{2+}$ ions lead to (1) increase in the electrochemically active surface by reduction in Pd particle size and its improved redistribution and (2) increment in the total oxidation charge by fast reaction rate of the Pd dissolution reaction.

This paper is our first attempt to construct a information processing system such as the living creatures' brain based on artificial life technique. In this paper, we propose a method of constructing neural networks using bio-inspired emergent and evolutionary concept, Ontogeny of living things is realized by cellular automata model and Phylogeny that is living things adaptation ability themselves to given environment, are realized by evolutionary algorithms. Proposing evolving cellular automata neural systems are calledin a word ECANS. A basic component of ECANS is 'cell' which is modeled on chaotic neuron with complex characteristics, In our system, the states of cell are classified into eight by method of connection neighborhood cells. When a problem is given, ECANS adapt itself to the problem by evolutionary method. For fixed cells transition rule, the structure of neural network is adapted by change of initial cell' arrangement. This initial cell is to become a network b developmental process. The effectiveness and the capability of proposed scheme are verified by applying it to pattern classification and robot control problem.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive PID controller using a cell-mediated immune response to improve a PID control performance. The proposed controller is based on the specific immune response of the biological immune system that is cell-mediated immunity. The immune system of organisms in the real body regulates the antibody and the T-cells to protect an attack from the foreign materials like virus, germ cells, and other antigens. It has similar characteristics that are the adaptation and robustness to overcome disturbances and to control the plant of engineering application. We first build a model of the T-cell regulated immune response mechanism and then designed an I-PID controller focusing on the T-cell regulated immune response of the biological immune system. We apply the proposed methodology to building structures to mitigate vibrations due to strong winds for evaluation of control performances. Through computer simulations, system responses are illustrated and additionally compared to traditional control approaches.

Temperature and medium composition were changed with the aim of increasing growth and erythropoietin (EPO) production in EPO-producing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. We used the CHO cell line, IBE, and its derivative, CO5, which over-expresses the first two enzymes of the urea cycle, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS I) and ornithine transcar-bamoylase (OTC). When supplements were added to the medium at $33\;^{\circ}C$, the growth of IBE and CO5 cells increased by $27\%\;and;26\%$, respectively and the maximum yield of EPO was increased by $40\%$ in both cell lines. The absolute EPO concentration in the CO5 cells was always $55{\sim}60\%$ higher than in the IBE cells. In addition, when the two cell lines were continuously cultured with supplements at $33\;^{\circ}C$ until their growth rates approached those at $37\;^{\circ}C$, the growth rates of both IBE and CO5 cells increased by $54\%$ and their maximum EPO levels increased by up to $73\%\;and\;56\%$, respectively. Therefore, the growth and EPO expression levels of CO5 cells increased 2.2-fold and 2.6-fold, respectively, compared to those of the IBE cells. These results indicate that adaptation to lower temperature as well as medium supplementation could be important for improving cell growth and EPO production.

세계보건기구 (WHO)가 백신 생산에 권장하고 있는 표준세포 주인 Vero 세포에 약독화 일본뇌염바이러스인 SA14-14-2 ( (PDK)를 연속 계대배양을 통해 적응(adaptation)시켜, tIter가 $10^7$pfu/mL을 넘는 SA-14-14-2(Vero)을 분리하였다 바이러스 배양 최적온도는 $35^{\circ}C$이며, T -flask에서 배양된 바이러스의 최고 tIter는 감염 후 4일째에 $4\times10^7$ pfu/mL로 관찰되었다. 또한 무혈청배지에서도 바이러스 증식이 활발하여 2% 혈청이 보충된 정우와 거의 비슷한 바이라스 tIter를 보였다. 바이러스 대량 배양을 위해 roller bottle culture와 미 립 담체 플 이용한 spinner flask culture 가능성에 대하여 고찰하였다 바이러스 감염을 위한 미립담체에서의 Vera cell monolayer는 초기 세포 농도 $4\times10$ cells/mL로 접종하여 50 rpm에서 7일간 배양하여 얻을 수 있었다. 바이러스의 roller bottle 배양이 spinner flask 배양보다 바이러스 tIter변에서 2배 내지 3배 높 았고, $10^7$pfu/mL을 넘는 배양 기간도 하루 죄었다. 하지만 두 배양 방법 모두 T -flask 배양에서와 같이 무혈청 배지를 사용 하여도 바이라스 증식이 활발했고, 최고조의 tIter를 보이는 배 양기간은 감염 후 2일째로써 T -flask 배양에서 보다 2일 빨랐다. Roller bottle culture의 경우, 감염 후 3일부터 17일까지 2 일 간격으로 배양액을 무혈청 EMEM으로 100% 교체하면서 매 양을 지속한 결과 3일부터 9일까지 $10^7$pfu/mL을 념는 tIter가 유지되는 것이 확인되어 바이러스의 multi-harvest가 가능한 것 로 고찰되었다. 상기의 결과는 생산성 면에서 매우 유리한 결 과로 제품의 생산 단가플 낮추고 작업 노력을 절감하는 기대 효 과가 클 것으로 예측된다.

An adaptive bone remodeling is simulated by using the cellular automata (CA) method. It is assumed that bone tissue consist of bone marrow, osteoclast, osteoblast cell or osteoprogenitor cell. Two types of local rule are adopted; those are the metabolism rule and adaptive bone formation rule. The metabolism rule is based on the interactions of cells and the bone formation rule is based on the adaptation against the mechanical stimulus. The history of load and memory of mechanical stimulus are also considered in the local rules. As a result, the pattern of distribution of the bone tissue is dynamically adequate and it is similar to intact cancellous bone.

Ovariectomy induced hyperphagia was reported in various animal models. It was postulated that hyperphagia resulted in interstinal hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Therefore, this study was performed to compare the food intake and intestinal changes between ovariectomized rats(OVX) and sham operated rats(Sham). Results of this study showed that the food intake and body weight of OVX animal was significantly higher than those of Sham animal. This results confirmed the effect of ovarian hormone on the food intake regulation. Hyperphagia induced by ovariectomy influence the intestinal cell growth and showed hyperplasia determined by protein/DNA ratio. Maltase and alkaline phosphatase activity suggested that the intestinal cell was fully matured in body groups. There were no difference in weight of other organs, such as liver, heart and kindney between two groups.

In hybridoma cell culture, $NH_4\;^+$ is the most important toxic byproduct so far identified. It has been postulated that $NH_4\;^+$, which is similar to $K^+$ in size, is taken up non-specifically by the cells through a potassium transport system, and that the addition of $K^+$ to the culture medium may have a detoxifying effect of $NH_4\;^+$. Thus, in this study the effects of varying $Na^+/K^+$ ratios by adding potassium were investigated for hybridoma physiology and CHO cell morphology respectively. The possible use of potassium addition for the adaptation of CHO cells to suspension culture is discussed.

A recent dynamic increase in demand for wireless multimedia services has greatly accelerated the research on dynamic channel adaptation of high quality video applications. In this paper, we explore a theoretical approach to cross-layer optimization between multimedia and wireless networks by means of a quality criterion termed "visual throughput" for downlink video transmission using a layered coding algorithm. We obtain the optimal loading ratio of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) subcarriers through an optimization problem balancing the trade-off relationship between inter-cell interference (ICI) and channel throughput. In the simulation, we show that the visual throughput gain at the cell boundary is increased by about 32%.
