  • The activity of the $Ca^{++}$ activated adenosinetriphosphatase (Ca-ATPase) of actomyosin systeme of rabbit and frog skeletal muscle has been studied at varying pH and temperature. The PH optima of the Ca-ATPase activity of the rabbit actomyosin was rather broad. Over the temperature range of $16-36^{\circ}C$ activity of the enzyme was not appreciably changed between pH 6.4-8.5; below and above which it rapidly reduced. The pH at the inflection point of the enzyme activity increased as temperature decreased, showing the ${\bigtriangleup}pH\;inflection/{\bigtriangleup}T$ of approximately $-0.018\;unit/^{\circ}C$. Consequently, $(OH^-)/(H^+)$ ratio at the inflection point was constant regardless of assay temperature. In the frog actomyosin systems the Ca-ATPase activity was not apparently altered between PH 6.4-7.0 when the incubation temperature was $15{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. Outside of this range of pH, however, the enzyme activity was dramatically decreased. The pH of the inflection point changed inversely with temperature. ${\bigtriangleup}pH\;inflection/{\bigtriangleup}T$ at the acidic side was approximately $-0.018\;unit/^{\circ}C$, whereas that at the alkaline side it was about $-0.037\;unit/^{\circ}C$. The Arrhenius Plot on the Ca-ATPase activity at constant $(OH^-)/(H^+)$ ratio of 1.0 was not linear, but showed break at arround $20^{\circ}C$ for both rabbit and frog actomyosin Preparations. From these results it was speculated that pH dependence of Ca-ATPase activity of rabbit actomyosin systems might reflect titrations of histidine-imidazole and -SH groups, and that of the frog actomyosin represents titrations of histidine-imidazole and lysyllysine ${\alpha}-NH_2$ groups.

  • Verification of dose distribution is an essential part of ensuring the treatment planning system's (TPS) calculated dose will achieve the desired outcome in radiation therapy. Each measurement have uncertainty associated with it. It is desirable to reduce the measurement uncertainty. A best approach is to reduce the uncertainty associated with each step of the process to keep the total uncertainty under acceptable limits. Point dose patient specific quality assurance (QA) is recommended by American Association of Medical Physicists (AAPM) and European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) for all the complex radiation therapy treatment techniques. Relative and absolute point dose measurement methods are used to verify the TPS computed dose. Relative and absolute point dose measurement techniques have a number of steps to measure the point dose which includes chamber cross calibration, electrometer reading, chamber calibration coefficient, beam quality correction factor, reference conditions, influences quantities, machine stability, nominal calibration factor (for relative method) and absolute dose calibration of machine. Keeping these parameters in mind, the estimated relative percentage uncertainty associated with the absolute point dose measurement is 2.1% (k=1). On the other hand, the relative percentage uncertainty associated with the relative point dose verification method is estimated to 1.0% (k=1). To compare both point dose measurement methods, 13 head and neck (H&N) IMRT patients were selected. A point dose for each patient was measured with both methods. The average percentage difference between TPS computed dose and measured absolute relative point dose was 1.4% and 1% respectively. The results of this comparative study show that while choosing the relative or absolute point dose measurement technique, both techniques can produce similar results for H&N IMRT treatment plans. There is no statistically significant difference between both point dose verification methods based upon the t-test for comparing two means.

  • This study uses comparison tests of bodice basic patterns to research improvements in wearing evaluation methods based on differences in bodice basic patterns and body size. As study methods, we calculated body sizes for six types by selecting four types of bodice basic pattern and utilized bodice basic pattern size measurement tools. The study result are as follows. First, as the result of analyzing bodice basic patterns per each part and body size difference by bodice basic pattern size measurement tool, shoulder angle cover rate was J&K type 57.57%~68.41%, N type 53.13%~65.57%, L type 51.87%~63.73%, and H type 59.03%~68.20%. In the item of neck base circumference, it was J&K type 6.4~-16 mm, N type 10.7~-31.9 mm, L type -5.2~-13.4 mm, and H type -6.2~-15.4 mm. In the item of armscye circumference, it was J&K type -18.9~-59.4 mm, N type -15.2~-51.3 mm, L type -38.9~-52.7 mm, and H type -17~-42.2 mm. In the item of biacromion length, it was J&K type 23.2~-4.7 mm, N type 18.4~-10.4 mm, and H type 3.5~-5.7 mm. In the item of interscye back, it was J&K type and N type 17.6~-13.6 mm, L type 11.9~-13.6 mm, and H type 3.2~-11.8 mm. The item of interscye front was found in the sequences of study type and L type. Second, the Kruskal-Wallis test result (according to bodice basic pattern) indicated meaningful differences in items of shoulder angle cover rate, neck point to breast point, bust point-bust point, biacromion length and armscye circumference and H type had an overall higher rank.

  • Montmorillonite is one of representative inorganic clay particles. As the characteristics of clay particulate matter in aqueous environment determine the efficiencies of wastewater treatment and some industrial operations, it is essential to understand its aquatic behavior in relation with turbidity. The change of electrokinetic potential of montmorillonite suspension shows that it tends to negatively increase as the pH of suspension increases. In addition, it is observed that its potential is around 0mV when the solution pH is ca. 5. The turbidity of suspension is shown to be very low when pH is lower than its isoelectric point. However, the turbidity gradually enhances according to beyond isoelectric point. These results reveal that the correlation between electrokinetic potential and turbidity for clay mineral suspension is peculiar which should be fundamentally considered for systematic treatment of wastewater.

  • This paper is studied the high speed processing moving picture encodec to compress and encode a moving picture by real time. This is used the new motion vector search algorithm with smallest search point in H.263 encodec, and is applied the integer DCT for the encodec by converting a moving picture. The integer DCT behaves DCT by the addition operation of the integer using WHT and a integer lifting than conventional DCT that needs the multiplication operation of a floating point number. Therefore, the integer DCT can reduce the operation amount than basis DCT with having an equal PSNR because the multiplication operation of a floating point number does not need.

  • In this paper, we study a class of strongly nonlinear implicit complementarity problems in the setting of Hilbert spaces H (not necessarily Hilbert lattices). By using the property of the projection and a suitable change of variables, we establish the equivalence between the strongly nonlinear implicit complementarity problem and the fixed point problem in H. Moreover, we use this equivalence and the fixed point theorem of Boyd and Wong to prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the strongly nonlinear implicit complementarity problem in H.

  • In this study, the dispersion stability of nano-sized CeO2 particles, synthesized by hydrothermal method in aqueous was evaluated from observing the surface potential behavior of CeO2 particle synthesized by solid state reaction. The isoelectric point(IEP) of nano-sized CeO2 synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis was found to be pH 9 contrary to the isoelectric point of micro-sized CeO2 synthesized by solid state reaction at pH 6.7. IEP was shifted to pH 2.0 as the addition of D-3019 from 0.1 to 1.0 wt%. The surface potential of CeO2 particles synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis was reduced as the addition of B-1001 used as a binder without change of IEP because the absorption of B-1001 polymer on the CeO2 particles shifted the shear plane of CeO2 particles outward away from the surface. This surface potential behavior was well correlated with the dispersion stability of slurry.
