In this paper, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity in the multipath Rayleigh fading environment is analyzed and compared with that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system. Each carriers of the number of the input diversity branches in the Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is L and among L, the branches of $L_c$ are chosen to be maximum-ratio-combined. And the diversity outputs are coherent-detected and despread by the correlator of each carrier. As the result, we have known that the structure of the Wideband DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC-L_{c}/L$ diversity reception becomes simple due to no synchronization of bit or phase and in terms of the error performance, the performance of Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity is better than that of selection diversity, but worse than that of MRC diversity. Moreover, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is better than that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system in multipath Rayleigh fading channel since Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_c/L$ diversity can obtain gain from each diversity branch. In case four carriers are used and required BER is $10^{-6}$ in wireless data communication, Hybrid SC/MRC-2/4 diversity can increase more 17 users than Hybrid SC/MRC-2/3 diversity because the better input branches can be selected through increase of input branches.

Rosa rugosa has traditionally been used as a folk remedy for diabetes. The objective of this study was therefore to demonstrate the inhibition of endothelial dysfunction activities through antioxidants and the anti-glycation of Rosa rugosa roots. Dried roots of Rosa rugosa were boiled in methanol for three hours, evaporated and lyophilized with a freeze-dryer. The methanolic extract of Rosa rugosa roots (RRE) was tested for antioxidant activities by measuring total polyphenol (TP) content, flavonoid content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical-scavenging activity (DPPH) assay, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. The total TP content, flavonoid content, FRAP value, and $DPPHSC_{50}$ are $345.2\;{\mu}g$ gallic acid equivalents/mg dry matter (DM), $128.1\;{\mu}g$ quercetin equivalents/mg DM, 2.2 mM $FeSO_4$/mg DM and $34.2\;{\mu}g$ DM/mL, respectively. Treatment of RRE significantly lowered fluorescent formation due to advanced glycation reaction. In addition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging assay, monocyte adherent assay and transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) assay were performed to investigate the possibility that RRE improves endothelial dysfunction-induced diabetic complications. The adhesion of THP-1 to treated HUVEC with RRE ($100\;{\mu}g/mL$; 33% and $500\;{\mu}g/mL$; 75%) was significantly reduced compared to HUVEC stimulated by glyceraldehydes-AGEs (advanced glycation end product). The TEER value ($88\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$) of stimulated HUVEC by glyceraldehydes-AGEs was reduced compared to non-stimulation ($113\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$). However, normalization with RRE increased endothelial permeability in a dose-dependent manner ($100\;{\mu}g/mL$; $102\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and $500\;{\mu}g/mL$; $106\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$). Thus, these results suggest that Rosa rugosa roots could be a novel candidate for the prevention of diabetic complications through antioxidants and inhibition of advanced glycation end product formation.

Foliar retention of pyribenzoxim (1% EC) was measured using the fluorescent dye rhodamine B, and related to efficacy and phytotoxicity to barnyardgarss (Echinochloa crusgalli) and rice (Oryza sativa cv. Chucheong), respectively. Effects of nozzle types (8002E flat-fan and disk-type), addition of adjuvant, variation of herbicide concentration or spray volume were compared. In barnyardgrass, foliar retention of pyribenzoxim at a recommended condition (application rate : 30g ai/ha, spray volume : 1000 L/ha) was 2.3 to 2.7 or 1.4 to $1.5{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the disk-type nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively, and 0.6 to 0.7 or 0.3 to $0.5{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the flat-fan nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively. The slope of increase in foliar retention was 1.0 to 1.8 when application rates increased from 10 to 60g ai/ha at 1000 L/ha, while that was 1.6 to 2.4 when spray volume increased from 330 to 2000 L/ha at $30{\mu}g$ ai/L concentration. Foliar retention of pyribenzoxim had a close relationship with herbicidal activity; regardless of spray conditions, retention to provide 90% control was about $0.8{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage, and below this retention amount, efficacy decreased almost linearly. In rice, foliar retention at the recommended condition was 1.9 to 2.3 or 1.2 to $1.3{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the disk-type nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively, and 0.6 to 0.9 or $0.3{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the flat-fan nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively. The slope of increase in foliar retention was 1.0 to 2.8 when application rates increased from 30 to 120g ai/ha at 1000 L/ha, while that was 1.3 to 4.4 when spray volume increased from 1000 to 4000 L/ha at $30{\mu}g$ ai/L concentration. Despite the great difference in retention, rice phytotoxicity was not observed in any of these spray conditions, suggesting retention differences within 4-fold increase of application rate or spray volume do not affect rice safety. When pyribenzoxim 1EC was sprayed in tank-mix with several other commercial pesticide formulations, its retention to rice foliage tended to increase by 30 to 50%.

The effects of sudden changes of water temperature (WT) on the stress response and physiological change of the cultured olive flounder in large (FL) and small (FS) size, and fat cod (FC) were examined by manipulating WT (2 types) in a flow through seawater culture system with 6 tanks (water vol. 270 L/tank). The WT was decreased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $10^{\circ}C$ within 5 hours ($2^{\circ}C/hour$) and maintained at $10^{\circ}C$ for 21 hours (Exp. I), and it was raised from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ within 5 hours and maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ for 21 hours (Exp.II). In Exp. I, the levels of blood hematocrit at 5 hours ($10^{\circ}C$) in FS was significantly decreased from $13.5\pm2.0\%\;to\;11.3\pm2.3\%$, but FC at 2.5 hours ($15^{\circ}C$) ($19.0\pm0.3\%\;to\;23.2\pm3.8\%$) was increased, The blood hemoglobin concentration of all fish in Exp, II was significantly increased until 8 hours after raising WT from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$. In Exp. I and II , the levels of plasma cortisol in FL, FS and FC was changed from $5.2\pm8.5ng/mL,\;4.4\pm4.5ng/mL\;and\;2.7\pm0.4ng/mL$, respectively, before sudden drop and rise of WT. The levels of plasma cortisol of in FL ($164.0\pm53.1ng/mL$) and FC ($207.9\pm25.4ng/mL$) were significantly increased by the lowering WT sharply during whole experiment. The FL ($12.6\pm2.0ng/mL$) and FS ($4.0\pm3.9ng/mL$) showed no significant differences in cortisol level according to sudden rise of WT (5 hours). But it in FC ($44.7\pm18.2ng/mL$) was increased. In Exp. I, the plasma glucose levels of all fish groups were decreased after 5 hours ($10^{\circ}C$), The plasma lactic acid concentration of FL and FS showed no significant differences until 5 hours after raising WT from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$, But it in FC was significantly increased with WT raise.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of mulberry fruit extinct on the acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria. The extract of mulberry fruit was showed a high level of yield with 60% ethanol extraction. Lactic acid bacteria was used in a starter culture of Lactobacillus casei YIT9018 and 2782, and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. After 24 hr culture in MRS broth added with 1.0, 5.0 and 10% of the extract 1.0% addition of the extract was showed pH $4.04{\sim}4.19$, titratable acidity $1.25{\sim}1.42%,\;and\;1.2{\sim}7.8{\times}10^9\;cfu/mL$ of viable cell count. The additions above 1.0% extract (5.0% and 10.0% addition) showed slightly lower effect than 1.0% addition. However, the addition of the extract showed a high effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria comparing with the control. In yoghurt preparation with the extract, 1% addition of the extract showed a high effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria, Therefore, it was suggested to manufacture of the yoghurt with the addition of 1% mulberry fruit extract and the inoculation of culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus for on the stimulation of growth of the lactic culture.

This experiment was conducted to examine the effects of chitosan and sucrose on the vase life of cut rose (Rosa hybrida L. cv. Cardinal). Addition of 5 mg/L chitosan and 3% sucrose to the holding solution prolonged the vase life for 3 days as compared to the control, and improved quality of cut rose in flower diameter and fresh weight. Development of bent-neck was delayed by supply of 2 mg/L or 5 mg/L chitosan and 3% sucrose about 2 or 3 days. When 3% sucrose was added to the holding solution, the rate of water absorption more slowly decreased compared to the other treatments.

BCL-2 family essential proteins to play a pivotal role to perform in apoptosis signaling pathways and essential proteins for the regulation of cell death. BCL2L10 protein is a member of BCL-2 family and it regulates both anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic function of specific tissue or cell line. BCL2L10 of function and expression is not reported in ovary cell lines. In this study we reported that BCL2L10 were significant expression of KGN cell line. Ectopic expression of BCL2L10 induced cell death, and its cells killing effect was blocked by pan-caspase inhibitor of the Z-VAD-fmk. Ectopic expression of BCL2L10 protein led to the activation of caspase 9 and caspase 3, suggesting apoptotic cell death, and confocal microscopic analyses showed that BCL2L10 was partially localized in mitochondria. Thus, we provide a novel function of BCL2L10 in KGN cells, which was involved in the intrinsic cell death pathway.

Enterococcus faecalis RKY1 cells were immobilized in an asymmetric hollow fiber bioreactor for application to the continuous production of succinic acid. The media was fed into shell-side of the module using a peristaltic pump, and the products were collected through lumen-side outlet. The number of hollow fibers within the module did not affect the bioreactor efficiency in the transverse operated hollow fiber bioreactor. The steady state at the outlet of hollow fiber bioreactor was reached after 24 hr cultivation at flow rate of 0.25 mL/mim, 12 hr at 0.5 L/min, and 9 hr at 1.0 mL/mm, respectively. The succinate and fumarate concentrations within the hollow fiber bioreactor, however, were as changeful as increasing the flow rate. During continuous operation with the flow rates between 0.5 and 2.0 mL, the productivity of succinate was 8.0-10.9 g/L $.$ hr at 30 g/L fumarate, 4.9-14.9 g/L hr at 50 g/L fumarate, and 7.2-17.1 g/L hr at 80 galL fumarate, respectively.

수질개선을 위한 많은 노력의 결과 대전광역시를 관통하는 대전 3태 하천인 갑천, 유등천, 대전천의 수질은 1990년 초반을 기점으로 많은 개선효과를 보이고 있다. 그러나 도시화에 따른 불투성층의 증가와 저류능력 감소, 치수를 목적으로 한 하도정비 등에 의하여 기저유출량은 과거에 비해 현저히 감소하였으며, 이로 인하여 갈수기에는 유량이 적어 생태적이고 친수적인 다양한 하천기능 수행에 많은 어려움을 초래하고 있다. 그러므로 대전광역시에서는 도심생태하천조성을 위한 방안으로 바람직한 하천기능을 회복하기 위하여 $70,000m^3/day$의 갑천수와 하수처리장에서 고도처리 된 $60,000m^3/day$의 방류수 중 $80,000m^3/day$를 각각 대전천과 유등천 상류지역에 공급하여 하천유지용수로서 사용하는 계획을 수립하였다. 하류지역에서의 갑천수와 고도처리 된 하수처리수를 대전천과 유등천의 상류지역에 하천유지용수로 공급함으로서 대전천과 유등천은 갈수기에도 각각 약 $1m^/sec,\;1.3m^3/sec$ 이상의 유량을 유지할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 갑천수와 고도처리수를 유지용수로 사용할 경우에 대한 수질변화를 QUAL2E를 이용하여 모의를 실시하였다. 유등천 합류부에서의 갑천수를 대전천 상류지역에 공급할 경우. 대전천에서의 수질은 $II\~III$등급을 유지할 것으로 보인다. 대전시의 지하철공사에서 발생하는 약 $9,600m^3/day$가량의 용출수와 대청호소수의 상수원수를 이용한 $10,000m^3/day$의 희석수를 유지용수로서 추가적으로 사용할 경우, 대전천의 BOD는 약 0.3mg/L가량의 개선효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 2011년 고도처리시설 완공시 방류수의 예상 수질은 BOD 10mg/L, TN 15mg/L, TP 2.0mg/L이하로 이를 유등천 상류부에 공급할 경우 유등천의 수질은 BOD 6.7mg/L, TN 9.80mg/L, TP 0.90mg/L를 나타낼 것으로 예측된다. 고도처리시설의 도입 후 금강 합류점에서 갑천의 예측 BOD는 7.4mg/L로 현재 9.0mg/L에 비하여 개선되지만 이는 금강수계 오염총량 관리계획의 시$\cdot$도 경계지점 목표수질인 5.9mg/L를 만족시키지 못하므로, 이를 만족시키기 위해서는 방류수 BOD 7.2mg/L이하로 처리해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
