  • In [7) Scott has defined C-formation radical for a class C of near rings and has studied its porperties under chain conditions. A natural question that arises is: Does there exist a Lower C-Formation radical class L(M) containing a given class M of ideals of near rings in C? In this paper we answer this by giving. two constructions for L(M) and prove that prime radical is hereditary.

  • This study investigated a suitable method that could be applied for Asian chain fern [Woodwardia japonica (L. f.) Sm.] to propagate gametophytes and promote sporophyte formation. The gametophytes used in all experiments were obtained from germinated spores in vitro and were subcultured at 8-week intervals. The most appropriate media for gametophyte propagation was identified by culturing 300 mg of gametophyte in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), and Knop medium for 8 weeks. As a result, fresh weight of the gametophyte was increased by 56.7-fold on MS medium. Moreover, antheridium formation as well as gametophyte growth was improved on MS medium, especially. To improve the sporophyte formation ex vitro, 1.0 g of gametophyte was ground with distilled water and spread on eight combinations onto four different culture mediums, such as bed soil, peat moss, perlite and decomposed granite. Then generation and growth of sporophytes were investigated after cultivation for 10 weeks. As a result of this experiment, peat moss had a promotive effect of sporophyte formation at single-use and mixed culture soils. In particular, a mixture of bed soil, peat moss and perlite in a 1:1:1 ratio (v/v/v) led to the accelerated formation (782.5 ea/pot) and the frond growth of sporophytes. This included increases in length and width of fronds. However, promotive effect of gametophyte growth and sporophyte formation was not found at single-use and treatment with high ratio of bed soil.

  • The study investigated how 'word of mouth' originates in the chain restaurant industry. It has long been acknowledged that 'word of mouth' is a critical factor for the success of a restaurant business due to its targetability and cost effectiveness. A review of the literature revealed four antecedents of 'word of mouth': service quality, perceived value, satisfaction, and relationship quality. Based on the theoretical/empirical relationships between those constructs, a structural model composed of the hypotheses was proposed. The structural model was tested with data collected from 471 chain restaurant patrons. The structural equation modeling analysis revealed that five constructs in the proposed model are interrelated, and during this process, word of mouth is formed in the chain restaurant industry. A positive relationship between service quality and satisfaction (0.265, p<0.05), service quality and perceived value (0.831, p<0.05), service quality and relationship quality (0.465, p< 0.05), and service quality and WOM (0.263, p< 0.05) were found, indicating that service quality is a key prerequisite for word of mouth and other constructs proposed in the model. It was revealed that perceived value doe not have a direct impact on WOM formation (t=1.275, p=0.202), but a positive relationship between perceived value and satisfaction (0.293, p<0.05) and between satisfaction and WOM (0.627, p< 0.05) were found. Therefore, it was concluded that patrons' perceived value influences word of mouth formation, but that impact is mediated by satisfaction. During this process, relationship quality also plays a mediating role in generating word of mouth. Based on data analysis, theoretical/managerial implications are discussed.

  • Pluripotent embryonic stem cells can differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes with proper culture conditions and stimulants via embryo-like aggregates. We describe here the use of mouse embryonic stem (mES03) cells as a reproducible differentiation system for cardiomyocyte. mES03 cells growing in colonies were dissociated and allowed to re-aggregated in suspension [embryoid body (EB) formation〕. To induce cardiomyocytic differentiation, cells were exposed to 0.75% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) during EB formation for 4 days and then another 4 days without DMSO (4+/4-). Thus treated EB was plated onto gelatin-coated dishes for differentiation. Spontaneously contracting colonies which appeared in approximately 4~5 days upon differentiation were mechanically dissected, enzymatically dispersed, plated onto coverslips, and then incubated for another 48~72 hrs. By RT-PCR, robust expression of cardiac myosin heavy chain $\alpha$, cardiac muscle heavy polypeptide 7 $\beta$($\beta$-MHC), cardiac transcription factor GATA4, and skeletal muscle-specific $\alpha$$_1$-subunit of the L-type calcium channel ($\alpha$$_1$CaC $h_{sm}$ ) were detected as early as 8 days after EB formation, but message of cardiac muscle-specific $\alpha$$_1$-subunit of the L-type calcium channel ($\alpha$$_1$CaCh) were reveled at a low level. In contrast, expression of myosin light chain (MLC-2V) and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were not detected during EB formation for 8 days. However, a strong expression of the atrial-specific ANF gene was expressed from day 8 onward, which were remained constant in EB. (cardiac specialization and terminal differentiation stage). Electrophysiological examination of spontaneously contracting cells showed ventricle-like action potential 17 days after the EB formation. This study indicates that mES03 cell-derived cardiomyocytes via 4+/4- protocol displayed biochemical and electrophysiological properties of subpopulation of cardiomyocytes.

  • In this study, the effect of particle aggregation on dynamic response time of Electrorheological (ER) fluid is investigated. The particle aggregation time is defined as the time interval between the application of the field and the formation of the first chain bridging the two electrodes. The dynamic response times of an ER fluid sheared between two concentric cylinders have been obtained under two different experimental conditions: the one is that the electric field is induced before shearing, and the other is that the electric field is induced after shearing. From the difference between two response times, the particle aggregation times are determined under various electric fields and shear rates. The experimental results show that the aggregation rate is decreased with an increase of shear rate, while electric field has little effect on it. Therefore, it is verified that the hydrodynamic force hinders the formation of chain-like structures.

  • The salting in and salting out of Octoxynol, N.F., a nonionic polyoxyethylated surfactant by n-alkylamine hydrochlorides ws investigated by measuring their effect on the cloud point of the surfactant at various salt concentrations. The carbon number of the alkyl chain was varied from zero to twelve. Ammonium chloride, methylamine hydrochloride and ethylamine hydrochloride tended to salt out the surfactant, lowering its cloud point in proportion to the salt concentration. n-Ankylamine and n-butylamine hydrochlorides showed salting-out effect at low concentrations of the electrolyte, while their effects were leveled off and showed rather salting-in trend at higher concentrations of the electrolyte. These salting-in effect was ascribed to the formation of a hydrotropy of the n-alky lammonium cations with the surfactant. The higher homolog compounds of n-alkylamine hydrochlorides showed extraordinarily high salting-in effect at very low oncentrations of the electrolyte. These large salting-in effects were more drastic as the chain length was getting longer. These large increases of the cloud point of the surfactant were attributed to the formation of mixed micelles of n-alkylammonium cations with the polyoxyethylated surfactant.

  • Selected MPEG-b-PDLLA block copolymers have been synthesized by ring-opening polymerization with systematic variation of the chain lengths of the resident hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks. The size and shape of the micelles that spontaneously form in solution are then controlled by the characteristics of the block copolymer template. All the materials prepared in this study showed the tunable pore size of 20-80 ${\AA}$ with the increase of hydrophobic chain lengths and up to 660 $m^2$/g of specific surface area. The formation mechanism of these nanoporous structures obtained by controlling the micelle size has been confirmed using both liquid and solid state $^{13}C\;and\;^{29}Si$ NMR techniques. This work verifies the formation mechanism of nanoporous structures in which the pore size and wall thickness are closely dependent on the size of hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic shells of the block copolymer templates.

  • The effects of the prevention of micelle formation and bile acid reabsorption, by using cholestyramine (CHOLN), a bile acid binding polymer, on the plasma lipid of Single Comb White Leghorn male chicks given diets containing medium chain triacylglycerol (MCT) and long chain triacylglycerol (LCT) were investigated. Corn oil and glyceryl tricaprylate were used as LCT and MCT sources, respectively. Plasma HDL cholesterol was reduced by CHOLN in all treatments. Plasma LDL cholesterol was reduced by CHOLN in chicks given LCT diet but not in MCT diet which could be accounted to the reduced plasma total cholesterol in LCT diet with CHOLN. It is concluded that bile acid binding does not alter the cholesteremic effect of MCT in the plasma of chicks.

  • This paper presents an algorithm for finding valid side chain conformations of amino acids, when given channel is transformed. The suggested algorithm implements a protein molecule with flexible side chains based on the flexibility of amino acids, and extracts adjacent amino acids that affect the formation of the channel. We detect the collision between adjacent amino acids and neighbors, in order to exclude invalid side chain conformations. Then, we construct the rotation angle combination tree to choose valid side chain conformations.

  • Future war needs a lot of changes for military organization. Specially, concept of the "Speed" is raised importantly after Iraq war of U.S. Armed Forces. So, He is a lot of studying supply chain for logistical support speed improvement. Korea Marine Corps has made an efforts to improve supply chain. However it is real that is putting various techniques by prescription rather than fundamental change. These simplicity prescriptions are not only systematic but also insufficient for Marine Corps' survival. In addition, Korea marine corps in actuality is depending on many members in marine and navy in feed chain. Thus it is not establishing even tactical, decision-making plan of operation for support ability cultivation. Therefore, in this study, with Sense and Response concept that is United States Marine Corps' support strategy, presented theoretical background and basis frame that serve that Korea Marine Corps's supply chain changes to perception reaction formation.
