    Notes: Fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA) powders were fabricated by a solid-state reaction, and their dense bodies were obtained by sintering at 1350°C. The biological performance of FHAs was evaluated and compared with that of pure hydroxyapatite (HA). The fluoridation of FHAs was confirmed by the changes in their lattice parameters. Human osteoblast-like cells attached and proliferated well on all of the FHAs, including pure FA. The proliferation and differentiation levels of the cells on FHAs were similar to those on pure HA. This finding suggests that the FHAs possess cell viability and activity comparable to pure HA, and thus are potentially applicable as hard tissue substitutes.

    Notes: In this study, a dense strontium-doped lanthanum chromite (La0.8Sr0.2CrO3, LSC) thin layer was designed to protect a stainless-steel (SUS430) substrate from carbon deposition. The LSC layer was coated onto an SUS430 substrate by a dipping technique from a precursor solution of La, Sr and Cr nitrates, acetylacetone (acac), and 2-methoxyethanol. The effect of AcAc on the phase behavior and microstructure evolution of the LSC thin films was investigated. After being heat-treated at 800°C in air, the thin film was found to consist of perovskite LaCrO3, Mn1.5Cr1.5O4, and Cr2O3 phases. The addition of a chelating agent, acac, to the precursor solution led to a reduction in the formation of the strontium chromite (SrCrO4) phase. As a consequence, a thin film having a dense microstructure could be obtained. It was confirmed by Fourier-tranform Raman spectroscopic analysis and FESEM observations that the carbon deposited on the uncoated SUS430 substrate was amorphous with a spherical morphology. The LSC thin film thus obtained was found to be very effective at preventing carbon deposition when it was heat-treated under a dry hydrocarbon atmosphere.

    Notes: SUMMARY:  The ingestion of paraquat, a non-selective herbicide, can be fatal in humans. Paraquat is toxic to multiple organs, including the kidney, heart, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Although paraquat has been established as one cause of acute tubular necrosis, Fanconi syndrome presenting as severe hypophosphataemia after paraquat intoxication has not been reported. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old Korean woman who presented with generalized proximal tubular dysfunction including aminoaciduria, phosphaturia and glycosuria after paraquat intoxication. We found that severe hypophosphataemia induces deep drowsiness. Renal biopsy findings indicated the presence of acute tubular necrosis that may be reversible.

    Notes: Purpose - For a new technology-based product or service at an early stage of diffusion, it is likely that only a small subset of consumers have adopted it. When non-adopters still comprise the majority of the target populations, describing all non-adopters as a homogeneous population may be inaccurate and inappropriate. It is important to be able to identify differences, not only between adopters and non-adopters, but also among non-adopters, the latter providing a means of identifying the consumer segments likely to be profitable in the future. The first objective of this paper is to demonstrate the appropriateness of further segmenting the non-adopter category based on motivations (intentions) to adopt internet-banking by those who are "persistent non-adopters" and those who are likely "prospective adopters". The second objective of this paper is to further the understanding of the adoption process of internet banking by examining a range of diffusion factors that affect consumers' adoption behavior. Design/methodology/approach - This study identifies three adopter segments, persistent non-adopters, prospective adopters, and adopters, in the diffusion of internet banking services based on individuals' intentions to adopt internet banking and their actual adoption behavior, using the data collected by the Graphic, Visualization, & Usability Center and Georgia Tech Research Corporation. Selective adoption factors (i.e. perceived attribute importance of internet banking, perceived risk, compatibility with existing banking services, and compatibility with the internet and computer technologies) were used to predict individuals' adoption status through multinomial logit modeling. Findings - It was found that further segmenting the non-adopter category revealed meaningful differences between prospective adopters and persistent non-adopters. This study reflects that the previous research practice of bifurcating adoption categories (adoption versus non-adoption) is oversimplified. The two qualitatively different segments, prospective adopters and persistent non-adopters, should not be lumped together in the diffusion of internet banking. Originality/value - This study provides comparison profiles of the three adopter categories and discusses marketing implications for segmentation.

    Notes: The differentiating bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor harbours some 66 sigma factors, which support its complex life cycle. σB, a functional homologue of σS from Escherichia coli, controls both osmoprotection and differentiation in S. coelicolor A3(2). Microarray analysis revealed σB-dependent induction of more than 280 genes by 0.2 M KCl. These genes encode several sigma factors, oxidative defence proteins, chaperones, systems to provide osmolytes, cysteine, mycothiol, and gas vesicle. σB controlled induction of itself and its two paralogues (σL and σM) in a hierarchical order of σB→σL→σM, as revealed by S1 mapping and Western blot analyses. The phenotype of each sigma mutant suggested a sequential action in morphological differentiation; σB in forming aerial mycelium, σL in forming spores and σM for efficient sporulation. σB was also responsible for the increase in cysteine and mycothiol, the major thiol buffer in actinomycetes, upon osmotic shock, revealing an overlap between protections against osmotic and oxidative stresses. Proteins in sigB mutant were more oxidized (carbonylated) than the wild type. These results support a hypothesis that σB serves as a master regulator that triggers other related sigma factors in a cascade, and thus regulates differentiation and osmotic and oxidative response in S. coelicolor.

    Notes: : Commercially produced sliced ham and all-pork frankfurters were obtained from a national meat processor and irradiated at 1.6 kGy. The samples were evaluated for color, lipid oxidation, odor, flavor, and the production of volatiles over an 8-wk storage period. Irradiation processing did not affect color values for the ham or frankfurters. Lipid oxidation as measured by 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) did not increase for either the ham or frankfurters. Irradiation processing increased off-odor scores for the ham but not for frankfurters. On the other hand, off-flavor scores were not significantly different for ham but were higher in frankfurters after irradiation processing. Dimethyl disulfide content increased as a result of irradiation in both the ham and frankfurters but decreased during the 8-week storage period. Irradiation processing resulted in the formation of new volatile compounds in the ham samples including heptane, trans-1-butyl-2-methylcyclopropanone, 2-octene, and toluene, which were not present in nonirradiated ham. In the case of frankfurters, irradiation treatment resulted in the formation of 2-butanone, which was not present in the nonirradiated frankfurters. Most volatile compounds that were affected by irradiation processing of either the ham or frankfurters were increased when compared with nonirradiated controls. Although color and lipid oxidation (TBARS) did not seem to be affected by irradiation processing at 1.6 kGy, changes in odor, flavor, and the production of volatiles are of concern if irradiation is to be used to control microbial growth in ready-to-eat pork products.

    Notes: Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were grown on Corning 1737 glass by RF MagnetronSputtering under premixed hydrogen-argon (H2/Ar) sputtering gas. It is found that the introduction ofvarious H2 concentrations during sputtering deposition altered the properties of Al-doped ZnO films.The presence of H2 during AZO growth at low deposition temperature leads to the growth of a-axispreferential orientation crystal whereas c-axis preferential orientation occurred only at higherdeposition temperature. Highly oriented c-axis (002) crystal has been successfully grown under 3%H2 concentration at 200°C deposition temperature. Film’s resistivity is appeared to be a function of H2concentration. Additional H2 concentration in sputtering gas increased of film’s transmittance up to85% at visible-near infra red spectra while it caused the Burstein-Moss shift toward the blue region at350 nm wavelength

    Notes: The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of Alloy 600 MA has been studied in deaerated 0.01 M sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) solutions at 340℃. Pre-strained reverse U-bend (RUB) specimens are tested using a static-autoclave system. The specimens show an intergranular SCC and a higher resistance to SCC in a Na2S2O3 solution than ina Na2SO4 solution. The results of the deposits and surface analyses by using XRD and SEM/EDS confirm the existence of the sulfides. The SCC of Alloy 600 MA is associated with the reduced sulfur species and protective oxide film properties formed on the alloy surface in the Na2SO4 and Na2S2O3 solutions
