  • 기후변화에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해서는 기후변화에 따른 수자원가용량의 변화를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있어야 한다. 평가결과의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서 기후변화 시나리오는 지역기후 및 유역특성에 적합한 결과를 포함하여야 한다. 또한, 기후변화가 유역의 물순환계에 미치는 영향이 있다면, 물순환 개선 기술을 통해 지속가능한 유역 물환경을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 유역 물순환 개선 기술은 기후변화가 진행 중에 있거나 예상되는 지역에 대하여 강우로부터 발생되는 유출을 지연, 저류, 침투시켜 지속가능한 물순환 체계를 유지하고 회복하도록 하는 기법이라 할 수 있다. 한국건설기술연구원에서는 기후변화에 따른 영향을 평가하고 적응 대책을 수립하기 위한 실무적인 유역 물순환 개선 및 평가 모형인 CAT3(Catchment hydrologic cycle Assessment Tool 3)을 개발하였으며 본 모형은 침투시설, 저류시설, 습지, 빗물저장시설과 같은 물순환 개선시설에 대한 효과를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 팔당댐 상류의 경안천 유역을 대상으로 APCC 기후변화 시나리오 통계적 상세화 자료를 활용하여 물순환 개선 기술의 적용성을 평가하였다. 통계적 상세화 자료는 APCC에서 개발된 AIMS(APCC Integrated Modeling Solution) 플랫폼을 이용하였다. AIMS는 다양한 기후정보를 기반으로 사용자 관점에서 상세화를 수행할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 상세화 기법은 SDQDM(Spatial Disaggregation Quantile Delta Mapping) 방법을 이용하였다. 상세화된 기후자료는 과거자료의 재현성 및 미래 기간에 대한 왜곡도를 평가하기 위해 극한기후지수(Climate Index)를 이용하는데 본 연구에서는 장기간에 걸친 수자원가용량의 평가 및 예측을 위해 연강수량(PRCPTOT)을 사용하였으며 증발산량의 평가 및 예측에 영향을 미치는 온도 관련 극한기후지수는 평균기온 개념의 DTR(TMAX&TMIN)을 이용하였다. 통계적 상세화 과정을 통해 최종적으로 HadGEM2-CC, INMCM4, CanESM2 시나리오를 선택하였으며 각 시나리오별 물순환 개선 기술을 적용한 후 미래의 수문학적 변동성을 평가하였다.

  • Oxidative stress and defense system of SD-rats were studied with an edible Nigerian mushroom, namely, Lentinus tuber-regium (Fries) Singer. Experimental diets prepared with Lentinus tuber-regium (LTR) instead of carbohydrates were fed to SD rats for 6 weeks. Hydrolxyl radical $({\cdot}OH)$ formations were significantly inhibited (21.7% and 16.4%, respectively). In LTR-50 and LTR-100 groups used instead of carbohydrates, and hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide (NO) were also significantly inhibited by 10%, and $6{\sim}10%$, respectively compared with control group, but there was no significant changes in superoxide radical $({O_2}^-)$ formations in these groups. Lipid peroxide (LPO) and oxidized protein (OP) levels as an oxidative stress were desirably inhibited ($6{\sim}12%\;and\;5{\sim}13%$, respectively) in these LTR groups compared with control group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase (CAT) activities were significantly increased ($15{\sim}50%,\;10{\sim}25%\;and\;60{\sim}90%$, respectively) in these LTR groups. These results suggest that an edible mushroom, Lentinus tuber-regium may inhibit an oxygen radicals and oxidative stresses, but may also effectively modulate an aging processes.

  • In order to investigate the morphological characteristics of dendritic cells in the mammary gland of the mouse (C57 BL/6), rat(W), rabbit and cat, the fine structures of the dendritic cells have been observed by the electron microscope. The results obtained were summarized as follows: The dendritic cells with the well-developed processes had an irregular shape, and lacked the desmosome. The pinocytotic vesicles and tubular invaginations of the cell membrane were frequently observed, and the mitochondria with the well-developed cristae were located in the restricted region in the cytoplasm of the dendritic cells. The nuclei of dendritic cells were indented, In the mice and rats, the dendritic cells had a few Langerhans cell granules(Birbeck granules). From the above results, it is confirmed that the ATPase-positive dendritic cells in the mammary gland are the Langerhans cells.

  • The Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is a kind of neural network models that consists of spiking neurons and local connections. The PCNN was originally proposed as a model that can reproduce the synchronous phenomena of the neurons in the cat visual cortex. Recently, the PCNN has been applied to the various image processing applications, e.g., image segmentation, edge detection, pattern recognition, and so on. The method for the image matching using the PCNN had been proposed as one of the valuable applications of the PCNN. In this method, the Genetic Algorithm is applied to the PCNN parameter learning for the image matching. In this study, we propose the method of the similar image rating using the PCNN. In our method, the Genetic Algorithm based method is applied to the parameter learning of the PCNN. We show the performance of our method by simulations. From the simulation results, we evaluate the efficiency and the general versatility of our parameter learning method.

  • Present study was performed to observe the surface ultrastructures of Stictadora furcatum (Trematoda: Heterophyidae). Adult worms were recovered from the cat experimentally infected with metacercariae, and were prepared for scanning electron microscopy. The body was leaf-like and ventrally concave. The oral sucker armed with prominent tegumental spines on the inner surface, and it's lips were obscure. Sensory papillae (type I) in single or grouped forms symmetrically arranged around the oral sucker. The ventrogenital opening retained protruding gonotyl spines and sperms discharged from the genital pore . The body surface was covered with scale-like multipointed tegumental spines. The density and digitated point of spines were gradually decreased toward the posterior end of the body. The digitated points of spines on the anterior portion were 9-12, on the middle were 7-8 and 5-6, and on the posterior were 2-3 and peg-like. Although the tegumental ultrastructure of S. fuscatum was generally similar to those of other heterophyid flukes , the oral sucker with tegumental spines on the inner surface and without obvious lips, and the ventrogenital opening with protruding gonotyl spines were suggested to be the characteristic features.

  • The study will assess the seasonal effect of hydrological models on performance and parameters for streamflow simulation. TPHM, GR4J, CAT, and TANK-SM hydrological models will be applied for simulating streamflow in ten small and large watersheds located in South Korea. The readily available hydrometeorological data will be applied as an input to the four hydrological models and the potential evapotranspiration will be computed using the Penman-Monteith equation. The SCE-UA algorithm implemented in PEST will be used to calibrate the models considering similar objective functions bedside the calibration will be renewed to capture the seasonal effects on the model performance and parameters. The seasonal effects on the model performance and parameters will be presented after assessing the four hydrologic models results. The conventional approach and season-based results will be evaluated for each model in the tested watersheds and a conclusion will be made based on the finding of the results.

  • The software group in Giant Magellan Telescope Organization (GMTO) is developing the GMT Software Development Kit (SDK) for the device control and the telescope operations. The SDK is dived into the modeling and the operation defining. In the modeling process, Domain Specific Language (DSL) can validate the availability of a model and generate a skeleton code automatically. After the modeling, the developer can simply define the device operation. All devices are connected via EtherCAT, and the SDK simplifies the network connection. This presentation will give an overview of the modeling process and development examples using the GMT SDK.

  • In urethane anaesthetized rabbits, reflex contraction of the inferior oblique muscle of a unilateral rye was evoked by the stimulation of a relevant vestibular canal nerve. Eye movement evoked by the inferior oblique muscle contracion was carefully observed with naked eyes, and recorded by means of the electrooculographic and electronystagmographic methods. The following results were obtained. 1) Contraction of the inferior oblique muscle evoked by a canal nerve excitation produced excycloduction of the eyeball associated with depression (downward rotation) instead of elevation. 2) Such depression of the eyeball was demonstrated even after the resection of the inferior oblique muscle. These experimental evidences indicate that tile rotatory action (secondary action of the muscle) of the inferior oblique muscle in the rabbits is apparently different in its direction from those already reported in the binocular animals such as cat, dog and monkey.

  • The protective effects of Phaleria macrocarpa (PM) against oxidative stress in diabetic rats were investigated. Diabetes was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats using alloxan (150 mg/kg i.p). After the administration of PM fractions for two weeks the diabetic symptoms, nephropathy and renal antioxidant enzymes were evaluated. The results showed that the oral PM treatments reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. The PM fractions decreased kidney hypertrophy and diminished blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in diabetic rats. Malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker, was increased in diabetic animals, but was suppressed by the PM treatments. In addition, the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, and glutathione (GSH) level in the alloxan-induced diabetic rats were significantly decreased compared with those in the normal rats, but were restored by PM treatments. The PM fractions also suppressed the level of MDA in the kidney. In conclusion, the anti hyperglycemic and anti-nephropathy of P. macrocarpa may be correlated to the increased renal antioxidant enzyme activity in the kidney.
