It has been investigated that the elect of an wideband FDM-FM signal upon an M-ary coherent PSK (MCPSK) signal in an intersystem radio interference environment between analog and digital systems, which had not been discussed before and had been obscure. It is assumed that PSK and FM signal are adjacently allocated in same radio frequency band. And the symbol error performance of MCPSK signal with co-channel and adjacent channel interference from an FDM-FM signal is evaluated with considering the receiver noise. The numerical results for the theoretical symbol error rates of MCPSK system in the presence of Gaussian noise and co-channel or adjacent channel interference are given in graphical forms as the function of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) and normalized carrier separation between the desired PSK and interfering FM signal. The objective of this research is to find some optimal conditions for coexistence of analog and digital systems in an intersystem interference environment. The results we obtained here stress a possible utilization of them for designing the frequency allocation, bandwidth and power of PSK channel in the intersystem interference from an FDM-FM signall.

Array beamforming for anti-jamming means that jamming signals are superposed destructively, while superposing information signals constructively at a receiver. However, according to channel state variation, the anti-jamming performance of the beamforming can be degraded because of large beamwidth of the sidelobe and lower selectivity of the mainlobe. To mitigate this problem, we introduce a beamformed decoy signal which uses frequency band distinguished from the information signal to make the jammer concentrate its jamming power to a wrong target under limited feedback. In this paper, we show that the performance of the proposed scheme can approach that of optimal one with perfect feedback.

The gene encoding a putative aspartate aminotransferase in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) was cloned using PCR technique. The gene was ligated with pET-21(a) vector containing His6 tag and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). Affinity purification of the recombinant aspartate aminotransferase with Ni-NTA resin resulted in one band by SDS-PAGE analysis. The purified enzyme showed a molecular weight of 43 kDa, as expected. The enzyme was the most active toward L-aspartate as an amino donor, indicating that the purified enzyme is one of aspartate aminotrans-ferases exist in Xoo. Optimal activity of the enzyme was observed at around pH 7.5 and stability was much higher at alkaline pH rather than acidic pH values. The enzyme was considerably activated by the presence of manganese ion, showing about 157% of control activity at 1.0 mM.

The optimal condition for the production of a glucan and a fructan synthesizing enzymes from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1149 were studied based on the different medium compositions. Response surface methodology was applied to find the optimistic condition showing the relationship between the fermentation response (enzyme activities) and the fermentation variable concentrations of yeast extract, peptone concentration, K2HP04 concentration and sucrose. Optimum medium composition for both enzymes production was $0.75\%$ yeast extract, $0.72\%$ peptone, $1\%$ K2HP04 and $2.17\%$ sucrose. Using this medium, the activities produced in culture was 0.90 U/m~ for glucosyltransferase (GTase) and 0.96 U/ml for fructosyltransferase (FTase). After purification of 1149FTase by consecutive chromatographies using Sephadex G-150 and DEAE-Sepharose, a 1149FTase of 210 kDa on $7\%$ polyacrylamide gel was isolated and it synthesized soluble fructan. The 1149GTase showed a band of 180 kDa on $8\%$ polyacrylamide gel after purification using Bio-Gel P-100 gel chromatography and DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange chromatography and it synthesized insoluble glucan. The linkages of polymers were determined by methylation using Hakomori reagent and following NMR analysis. The glucan was composed of a(1~6) and a(1~3) linkages and the fructan was levan.

An Alkalophilic Bacillus circulans that can produce significant amount of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was newly isolated from soil. The culture filtrate was successively purified by ($NH_4$)$_2$$SO_4$precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The enzymatic properties, including molecular weight, optimal pH and temperature, stability, and kinetic parameters, were determined. The cyclodextrin synthesis reaction catalized by the purified CGTase was also studied. The sweet potato and corn starch were found to be the most suitable substrates with 60% conversion to cyclodextrin. The highest conversion was achieved at the CGTase concentration of 900-1,100 units/g of soluble starch. The purified CGTase could also catalize the transglycosylation on stevioside.

Five electrophoretic bands of crude enzyme extracted from rice leaves were found to possess both chitinase and ${\beta}-1,3-glucanase$ activities. These $chitinase/{\beta}-1,3-glucanase$ were resolved into acidic and basic fractions of protein by DEAE-cellulose and chitin affinity column chromatography. The optimal pH and temperature for ${\beta}-1,3-glucanase$ activity of two fractions were in the same extent as pH 5 and $60^{\circ}C$, whereas those for chitinase activity differed from one another; pH 3 and $60^{\circ}C$ for the acidic and pH 4 and $50^{\circ}C$ for the basic fraction, respectively. In addition, lysozyme activity was found in both fractions.

Fractures located at the metaphyseal/diaphyseal junction at the base of the fifth metatarsal were first described by Sir Robert Jones in 1902. However, ever since, there has been disagreement and debate regarding the diagnosis, classification, pathomechanics, the incidences, and potential causes of delayed unions and nonunions, and the optimal method of treatment. It appears to be widely agreed that proximal fractures of the metaphyseal/diaphyseal region of the fifth metatarsal are prone to delayed union or even nonunion. Several classifications of proximal fifth metatarsal stress fractures have been devised. Torg et al. classified fractures involving the proximal part of the diaphysis of the fifth metatarsal into three types. The Torg classification is a good grading system that can be used to determine the type of surgery needed as well as for the prediction of prognosis. The ''plantar gap'' might add to the decision-making process for surgery and improve the prediction of patient prognosis. In addition, the new classification using 'plantar gap' might be used for classification of fifth metatarsal stress fracture. Fifth metatarsal stress fractures can be treated conservatively or surgically, and excellent results have been reported for surgery with rapid recovery in athletes. Intramedullary screw fixation has become a popular form of fixation for fifth metatarsal stress fractures. Bone grafting presents the problems of a longer recovery time and additional skin incision for harvesting. The modified tension band wiring is an useful and simple option for surgical treatment of challenging fifth metatarsal stress fractures.

This paper presents an improvement of field uniformity in a reverberation chamber with QRDs(Quadratic Residue Diffuser) and also shows the optimal dimension of the QRDs. The QRD is designed for $1{\sim}3\;GHz$ frequency band and the FDTD(finite-Difference Time-Domain) method is used to analyze the field characteristics. At 2 GHz, the standard deviation of test volume in the reverberation chamber is the smallest when the QRD has $30{\sim}60\;%$ coverage of one side of the reverberation chamber and the field uniformity is worsened when the coverage of the QRD is either below 20 % or above 70 % of the area of the side wall. Particularly, the standard deviation of test volume in the reverberation chamber with 30 % coverage of QRD is improved by 1.53 dB compared to that of the reference chamber with no QRDs.

Data grid shares distributed large data via wide-band network. Such grid environment consumes much time for large data transmission. Because it is implemented on internet as physical network. Many replication strategies were proposed for solving this problem, but they are not optimal in real Data grid environments. Because they were proposed that based on logical topology without consideration of real internet architecture. Grid data access time is largely influenced by internet architecture as physical network of Data grid. In this paper, we propose a new data replication strategy RSIA(Replication Strategy based on Internet Architecture) based on internet architecture. The RSIA places replicas considering structural hierarchy in each element of internet, and avoid the performance bottlenecks to reduce system performance degradation when a data transfer. Through simulation, we show that the proposed RSIA data replication strategy improves the performance of Data Grid environment compared with previous strategies.

New photovoltaic (PV) materials and manufacturing approaches are needed for meeting the demand for lower-cost solar cells. The prototypal thin-film photovoltaic absorbers (CdTe and $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$) can achieve solar conversion efficiencies of up to 20% and are now commercially available, but the presence of toxic (Cd,Se) and expensive elemental components (In, Te) is a real issue as the demand for photovoltaics rapidly increases. To overcome these limitations, there has been substantial interest in developing viable alternative materials, such as $Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) is an emerging solar absorber that is structurally similar to CIGS, but contains only earth abundant, non-toxic elements and has a near optimal direct band gap energy of 1.4~1.6 ev and a large absorption coefficient of ${\sim}10^4\;cm^{-1}$. The CZTS absorber layers are grown and investigated by various fabrication methods, such as thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation with a post sulfurization, sputtering, non-vacuum sol-gel, pulsed laser, spray-pyrolysis method and electrodeposition technique. In the present work, we report an alternative method for large area deposition of CZTS thin films that is potentially high throughput and inexpensive when used to produce monolithically integrated solar panel modules. Specifically, we have developed an aqueous chemical approach based on chemical bath deposition (CBD) with a subsequent sulfurization heat treatment. Samples produced by our method were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, absorbance and photoluminescence. The results show that this inexpensive and relatively benign process produces thin films of CZTS exhibiting uniform composition, kesterite crystal structure, and good optical properties. A preliminary solar cell device was fabricated to demonstrate rectifying and photovoltaic behavior.
