Pressure tubes are major component of nuclear reactor, but only selected samples are periodically examined due to numerous numbers of tubes. Current in-service inspection result show there is high probability of flaw existence at uninspected pressure tube. Probabilistic analysis is applied in this study for the integrity assessment of uninspected pressure tube. All the current integrity evaluations procedures are based on conventional deterministic approaches. So it is expected that the results obtained are too conservative to perform a rational evaluation of lifetime. More realistic failure criteria, based on FAD are also proposed for the probabilistic analysis. As a result of this study failure probabilities for various conditions are calculated, and examined application of FAD and LBB concept.

들깨는 우리나라에서 재배되어온 대표적인 유지작물로 지질의 함량 중 알파리놀렌산의 함량이 60% 전후로 불포화도가 높아서 산패가 쉽게 일어나는 문제가 있다. 알파리놀렌산은 소포체 유래의 ${\Delta}15$ desaturase (FAD3)와 엽록체 유래의 ${\Delta}15$ desaturase (FAD7)에 의해서 합성된다. 엽록체 유래의 FAD7 유전자 발현의 손상없이 종자의 알파리놀렌산 함량을 낮추기 위해 소포체 유래 FAD3 유전자를 RNAi기법을 이용하여 발현을 억제하였다. 재배종인 엽실들깨의 배축을 이용하여 아그로박테리움 매개 형질전환법으로 제초제(바스타) 저항성을 가진 형질전환체 17개체를 획득하였다. 형질전환체는 0.3% (v/v) 바스타제초제를 이용하여 선발하였으며 Northern blot으로 FAD3 유전자의 발현이 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 온실에서 수확한 12개체 종자 지방산 함량을 분석한 결과 알파리놀렌산 함량이 10-20% 2개체, 30-40% 7개체, 대조구와 비슷한 60%대 3개체를 획득하였다. 형질전환체의 $T_2$ 종자의 분리비와 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과 동형접합체 계통에서 6-10% 알파리놀렌산 함량을 보였으며 이형접합계통은 20-26% 알파리놀렌산 함량을 나타내어 동형으로 고정시 FAD3 유전자 발현이 상당히 강력히 억제됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 들기름의 지방산 중 알파리놀렌산 함량의 감소는 들깨의 산패를 방지하고 감마리놀렌산 등의 고가의 건강기능성 지방산 생산에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Acetolatate synthase(ALS) catalyzes the first common step in the biosynthesis of valine, leucine, isoleucine in plants and microorganisms. ALS is the target of several classes of herbicides, including the sulfonylureas, the imidazolinones, and the triazolopyrimidines. To elucidate the roles of arginine residues in tobacco ALS, chemical modification and site-directed mutagenesis were performed. Recombinant tobacco ALS was expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. The ALS was inactivated by arginine specific reagents, phenylglyoxal and 2,3-butanedione. The rate of inactivation was a function of the concentration of modifier. The inactivation by butanedione was enhanced by borate, and the inactivation was reversible on removal of excess butanedione and borate. The substrate pyruvate and competitive inhibitors fluoropyruvate and phenylpyruvate protected the enzyme against inactivation by both modifiers. The mutation of well-conserved Arg198 of the ALS by Gln abolished the enzymatic activity as well as the binding affinity for cofactor FAD. However, the mutation of R198K did not affect significantly the binding of FAD to the enzyme. Taken together, the results imply that Arg198 is essential for the catalytic activity of the ALS and involved in the binding of FAD, and that the positive charge of the Arg is crucial for the interaction with negatively charged FAD.

In this paper, the methodology for the reliability estimation of buried pipeline with longitudinal gouges and dent is presented and the limit state of buried pipeline is formulated by failure assessment diagram(FAD). The reliability of buried pipeline with defects has been estimated by using a theory of failure probability. The failure probability is calculated by using the FORM(first order reliability method) and Monte Carlo simulation. The results out of two procedures have been compared each other. It is found that the FORM and Monte Carlo simulation give similar results for varying boundary conditions and various random variables. Furthermore, it is also recognized that the failure probability increases with increasing of dent depth, gouge depth, gouge length, operating pressure, pipe outside radius and decreasing the wall thickness. And it is found that the analysis by using the failure assessment diagram gives highly conservative results than those by using the theory of failure probability.

Purpose: Foot and ankle disease (FAD) is a frequent cause of morbidity among the homeless population. Various conditions, exacerbated by malnutrition, poor lifestyle habits, psychiatric disorders, physical injuries, poor hygiene, and limited access to healthcare, have been described in this population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cognition and management status of FAD in shelter based homeless people. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two male and twenty-five female volunteer homeless individuals were recruited from two homeless shelters. Each person completed a questionnaire assessing any presence of pain, pain management, as well as foot and ankle care status. A foot and ankle surgeon examined the physical status of the individual's foot and ankle, including tenderness and instability. A radiologic evaluation was done for 18 male and 11 female homeless people who agreed to participate in this test for the existence osteophyte or joint space narrowing representing osteoarthritis and some reference angles for hallux valgus, flatfoot and cavus foot. Results: Homeless people had higher prevalence of body mass index, diabetes, and smoking than the general population. The most prevalent infectious disease was fungal infection (male 78%, female 68%), with a low compliance of management for FAD. Conclusion: Although most of shelter-based homeless people showed an acceptable foot and ankle management status, the potential risk for FAD development and exacerbation of mild FAD was high.

The presenilin 1 (PS1) or PS2 is an essential component of the ${\gamma}$-secretase complex, which mediates the intramembrane proteolysis of selected type-I membrane, including the ${\beta}$-amyloid precursor protein (APP) to yield A${\beta}$. Familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD)-associated mutations in presenilins give rise to an increased production of a highly amyloidogenic A${\beta}$42. In addition to their well-documented proteolytic function, the presenilins play a role in calcium signaling. We have previously reported that presenilin FAD mutations cause highly consistent alterations in intracellular calcium signaling pathways, which include deficits in capacitative calcium entry (CCE), the refilling mechanism for depleted internal calcium stores. However, molecular basis for the presenilin-mediated modulation of CCE remains to be elucidated. In the present study, whole-cell patch clamp method was used to identify a specific calcium-permeable ion channel current(s) that is responsible for the CCE deficits associated with FAD-linked PS1 mutants. Unexpectedly, both voltage-activated and conventional store depletion-activated calcium currents I(CRAC), were absent in HEK293 cells, which were stably transfected either with wild-type or FAD mutant (L286V, M146L, and delta E9) forms of PS1. Recently, magnesium-nucleotide-regulated metal cation current, or I(MagNum), has been described and appears to share many common properties with I(CRAC) including calcium permeability and inhibitor sensitivity (e.g. 2-APB). We have detected I(MagNum) in all 293 cells tested. Interestingly, FAD mutant 293 cells developed only about half of currents compared to PS1 wild type cells.

After ablactation, wistar strain white male rats, weighing 270g and 340g, were fed with a diet of CLEA for three months. The whole daily excretion of each feces and urine were collected, and extracted with water($80^{\circ}C$ hot water). The combined extraction were filtered and the $B_2$ was determined with the parts of the filterates by the lumiflavin fluorometric method, and the FMN, FAD and FR with the rest of the filterates by paper chromatography. The following results were obtained; 1. $B_2$ contents in the feces were $27.52{\gamma}$ per 100 grams per body weight, and $83.93{\gamma}$ per each rat per day. 2. $B_2$ contents in the urine were $18.47{\gamma}$ per 100 grams per body weight, and $56.33{\gamma}$ per each rat per day. The total daily excretion of $B_2$ contents in the feces were 1. 5 times as much as in the urine. 3. Among the total daily $B_2$ excretion of one white wistar strain rat in the feces were the following ; FAD, 81.0% ; FMN, 14.9% ; FR, 3.3%. Therefore the order of the contents were FAD>FMN>FR.

Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) is distributed worldwide and causes economic losses in the poultry industry. The objectives of this study were to determine the hexon and fiber gene changes in an attenuated FAdV isolate from Malaysia in specific pathogen-free chicken embryonated eggs (SPF CEE) and its infectivity in commercial broiler chickens. SPF CEE were inoculated with 0.1 mL FAdV inoculum via the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) for 20 consecutive passages. The isolate at passage 20 (E20), with a virus titer of $10^{8.7}TCID_{50}/mL$ ($TCID_{50}$, 50% tissue culture infective dose), was inoculated (0.5 mL) into one-day-old commercial broiler chicks either via oral or intraperitoneal routes. The study demonstrated that 100% embryonic mortality was recorded from E2 to E20 with a delayed pattern at E17 onwards. The lesions were confined to the liver and CAM. Substitutions of amino acids in the L1 loop of hexon at positions 49 and 66, and in the knob of fiber at positions 318 and 322 were recorded in the E20 isolate. The isolate belongs to serotype 8b and is non-pathogenic to broiler chickens, but it is able to induce a FAdV antibody titer. It appears that molecular changes in the L1 loop of hexon and the knob of fiber are markers for FAdV infectivity.

봉입체성 간염-심낭수종증(IBH-HPS)은 주로 육계에서 다발하며 3~6주령의 육계에서 최고 75%까지의 폐사율을 일으킬 수 있는 질병이다. 주 증상으로는 심낭의 황색 수양성 액체가 저류되는 심낭수종증과 함께 봉입체성 간염이 나타난다. 1987년 파키스탄에서 처음 발생이 보고된 후 여러 나라에서 발병되었으며, 최근 우리나라에서도 질병 발생이 확인된 바 있다. 본 실험에서는 IBH-HPS에 대한 경제적 피해를 감소시키기 위한 목적으로 사독 오일 백신을 제조하여 안전성 및 효능을 평가하였다. 2주령의 SPF 닭에 제조한 사독 백신을 1 또는 2수분으로 근육 접종한 뒤 2주 후인 4주령에 FAdV-4로 공격 접종을 실시하였다. 백신 접종에 의한 임상 증상 발현 및 폐사가 관찰되지 않아 백신의 안전성이 인정되었고, AGP 검사를 통해 FAdV-4에 대한 항체가 100% 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 공격 접종 시 각각 경구 또는 근육으로 접종하였고, 접종 후 10일간 관찰한 결과, 백신 접종군 모두 부검 소견, 바이러스 유전자 검색율 및 조직학적 병변도에 있어서 효능이 인정되었다. 육안 병변의 경우, 백신 비접종군에서는 간의 괴사 반점이 10~50%의 개체에서 발생한 데 비해 백신 접종군에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 바이러스 유전자 검색 양성률 또한 백신 접종군이 백신 비접종군에 비해 낮은 수준으로 나타났으며, 이는 특히 근육 투여군에서 더 명확하게 나타났다. 조직 병변도는 관찰 기간 내내 핵내 봉입체는 관찰되지 않았으나, 림프구 침윤 및 간세포의 괴사 정도가 백신 접종군에서 현저히 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 실험에서 제조한 FAdV-4 사독 오일 백신은 실험계에 임상적으로 안전하고 면역원성도 높았으며, 효능에 있어서는 백신 비접종군에서의 임상 증상이 명확하지 않았음에도 불구하고, 육안 병변, 바이러스 검색율 및 조직 병변도에 있어서 공격 접종에 대한 방어가 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
