Column chromatographic fractionation of the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of the stem-bark of Anacardium occidentale led to the isolation of five compounds (1-5). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic means by comparing spectral data to be β-sitosterol (1), 2,4-dihydroxy acetophenone (2), 1-monolinolein (3), ethyl oleate (4) and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5). These compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines: A549, SCOV3 and rat normal cell line NRK49f. Compounds 2-5 were for the first time isolated from A. occidentale.

Protein kinases (PKs) are an important source of drug targets, especially in oncology. With 500 or more kinases in the human genome and only few kinase inhibitors approved, kinase inhibitor discovery is becoming more and more valuable. Because the discovery of kinase inhibitors with an increased selectivity is an important therapeutic concept, many researchers have been trying to address this issue with various methodologies. Although many attempts to predict the activity and selectivity of kinase inhibitors have been made, the issue of selectivity has not yet been resolved. Here, we studied kinase selectivity by generating predictive models and analyzing their descriptors by using kinase-profiling data. The 5-fold cross-validation accuracies for the 51 models were between 72.4% and 93.7% and the ROC values for all the 51 models were over 0.7. The phylogenetic tree based on the descriptor distance is quite different from that generated on the basis of sequence alignment.

For an aspect ratio (transport length-to-width) of 5, Pr=3.34, Le=0.078, Pe=4.16, Cv=1.01, $P_B=50$ Torr, only thermally buoyancy-driven convection ($Gr=4.83{\times}10^5$) is considered in this study in spite of the disparity in the molecular weights of the component A ($Hg_2Cl_2$) and B which would cause thermally and/or solutally buoyancy-driven convection. The crystal growth rate and the maximum velocity vector magnitude are decreased exponentially for $3{\le}Ar{\le}5$, for (1) adiabatic walls and (2) the linear temperature profile, with a fixed source temperature. This is related to the finding that the effects of side walls tend to stabilize convection in the growth reactor. The rate for the linear temperature profiles walls is slightly greater than for the adiabatic walls far varied temperature differences and aspect ratios. With the imposed thermal profile, a fixed source region, both the rate and the maximum velocity vector magnitude increase linearly with increasing the temperature difference for $10{\le}{\Delta}T{\le}50K$.

Eu(III)-doped $CeO_2$ nanorods were prepared by a co-precipitation method at room temperature, and their photoluminescence profiles were examined with different Eu(III)-doping concentrations and thermal annealing temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy were employed to examine the morphology, crystal structure and photon absorption profiles of the nanorods, respectively. Additionally, their 2D and 3D-photoluminescence profile maps were obtained to fully understand the photoluminescence mechanism. We found that the magnetic dipole $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_1$ and the electric dipole $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ transitions of Eu(III) were highly dependent on the doping concentration, annealing temperature and excitation wavelength, which was explained by the presence of different Eu(III)-doping sites (with and without an inversion center) in the $CeO_2$ host with a cubic crystal structure.

Microgratings whose diffracted field at a fixed angle generate IR spectra of $SF_6$ or $NH_3$ were fabricated by MEMS techniques for the purpose of IR correlation spectroscopy. Each micrograting was composed of 1441 reflecting lines in the area of $19.2{\times}19.2mm^2$. The depth profile of the line elements was determined with a gradient searching method that was described in our previous publication (J. Mod. Opt. 2013, 60, 324-330), and was discretized into 16 levels between 0 and $6.90{\mu}m$. The diffraction field from a given depth profile was calculated with Fraunhofer equation. The fabricated microgratings showed errors in the depth and the width within acceptable ranges. As the result, the diffracted IR spectrum of each micrograting matched well with its target reference spectrum within spectral resolution of our optical setup.

In this study, the alkiline water washing condition of mackerel(Scomber japonicus) dark meat was investigated to improve processing conditions of red muscle fish meat paste heating gel. Chemical alkaline water(CWM) and electrolytic alkiline water(EWM, pH 12) were used for washing the mackerel raw meat. Washed meats were minced with 2.5% salt and heated at $90^{\circ}C$/15 min to testing texture profile analysis. Moisture of CWM and EWM was increased with both washing times(p<0.05). Crude lipids and protiens were decreased with washing times. Lightness of chemical alkaline water washed mackerel heated paste gel(CWHPG) was higher than electrolytic alkaline water washed mackerel heated paste gel(EWHPG). Redness and yellowness were more decreased than control meats. Jelly strength of CWHPG and EWHPG was not increased more than 2 times wased meat and was increased with protein decrease. Texture profile analysis, max force1 of CWHPG and EWHPG was higher hardeness than the control meat except gel strains. From these results, it could be suggested that electric alkialine water washing is also effective in advance the red meat paste heating gel process of kamaboko industry.

For integrated complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits, the lateral spread for two-dimensional (2-D) impurity distributions are very important for the analyzing the devices. The measured two-dimensional SEM data obtained using the chemical etching-method matched very well with the results of the Gauss model for boron implanted samples. But the profiles in boron implanted silicon were deviated from the Gauss model. The profiles in boron implanted silicon were shown a little bit steep profile in the deep region due to backscattering effect on the near surface from the bombardments of light boron ions. From the simulated 3-D data obtained using an analytical model, the 1-D and 2-D data were compared with the experimental data and could be verified the justification from the experimental data. The data of 3-D model were also shown good agreements with the experimental and the simulated data. It can be used in the 3-D chip design and the analysis of microelectro-mecanical system (MEMS) and special devices.

In this experiment the effect of dietary carob pods in the growth performance of fattening pigs and their meat quality, including steak chemical composition and fatty acid profile, were examined. A total of 160 weaning piglets, 30 days old, were allocated into four equal groups with 4 subgroups of 5 female and 5 males each. The animals were fed with isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets, containing either 0 or 75 or 100 or 125 g of carob pods per kg of feed. At the end of the experiment, on the 180 day of age, carcass subcutaneous fat thickness, steak chemical composition and steak fatty acid profile were determined. The results of the experiment showed that the dietary addition of 75 or 100 g/kg carob pods increased body weight at slaughter and carcass weight. No significant effect was noticed on the other examined carcass parameters. Consequently, carob pods could be suggested as a potential feed for fattening pigs without any adverse effect on their meat quality.

The objective of this study was to confirm the effect of the type of dissolution media and paddle speed on nifedipine (ND) release profile from osmotic granule and the storage stability. Osmotic granule was manufactured by fluidized bed coating method. At each coating step, morphology of osmotic granule was differed. The size of osmotic granule was $750\;{\mu}m$ at 3 wt% membrane thickness. ND release was changed in diverse dissolution media, paddle speed. ND release is governed by not only osmotic pressure but diffusion from osmotic granule. ND release from osmotic granule decreased as storage period increased. These may be caused by liquid excipient which has low molecular weight. Storage stability of osmotic granule could be improved by removing liquid excipient from semipermeable membrane.

The simple Langmuir isotherm is frequently employed to describe the equilibrium behavior of protein adsorption on a wide variety of adsorbents. The two adjustable parameters of the Langmuir isotherm - the saturation capacity, or $q_m$, and the dissociation constant, $K_d$ - are usually estimated by fitting the isotherm equation to the equilibrium data acquired from batch equilibration experiments. In this study, we have evaluated the possibility of estimating $q_m$ and $K_d$ for the adsorption of bovine serum albumin to a cation exchanger using batch kinetic data. A rate model predicated on the kinetic form of the Langmuir isotherm, with three adjustable parameters ($q_m,\;K_d$, and a rate constant), was fitted to a single kinetic profile. The value of $q_m$ determined as the result of this approach was quantitatively consistent with the $q_m$ value derived from the traditional batch equilibrium data. However, the $K_d$ value could not be retrieved from the kinetic profile, as the model fit proved insensitive to this parameter. Sensitivity analysis provided significant insight into the identifiability of the three model parameters.
