  • The purpose of this study is understanding the principle of space construction in traditional houses in Cheju under the premise of house being the dweller's place. I studied it by shamanist interpretatiov. First I understood the quality and meaning of space by the theory of space and shamanism. As the method of study. I studied the space theory and shamanism and had a general idea of them. And then I looked upon the concept of space as residence and analyzed the traditional houses in Cheju. The conclusion of the study is this. I considered shamanism as a part of their way of life. Thus shamanism was a chief idea of Cheju people's thought, religion, and a view of the world. Naturally shamanism was the chief principle with which Cheju people constructed the residence. Because this cultural social aspect of shamanism, it is understood and used as the principle of space construct in modern architecture of Cheju.

  • The use of iodine S values derived using the International Commission Radiological Protection (ICRP) phantoms may introduce significant bias in internal dosimetry for Koreans due to anatomical variability. In the current study, we produced an extensive dataset of Korean S values for selected five iodine radioisotopes (I-125, I-129, I131, I-133, and I-134) for use in radiation protection. To calculate S values, we implemented Monte Carlo simulations using the Mesh-type Reference Korean Phantoms (MRKPs), developed in a high-quality/fidelity mesh format. Noticeable differences were observed in S value comparisons between the Korean and ICRP reference phantoms with ratios (Korean/ICRP) widely ranging from 0.16 to 6.2. The majority of S value ratios were lower than the unity in Korean phantoms (interquartile range = 0.47-1.28; mean = 0.96; median = 0.69). The S values provided in the current study will be extensively utilized in iodine internal dosimetry for Koreans.

  • Background: Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have great HCC diagnostic potential and circulating miRNAs have been reported as promising biomarkers for various pathologic conditions. Aim: To explore the potential benefit of serum miR-126, miR-129, miR-155, miR-203 and miR-223 as non-invasive diagnostic markers of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC. Materials and Methods: The expression of miRNA was evaluated using real-time quantitative RT-PCR in 78 serum samples (30 $treatment-na{\ddot{i}}ve$ chronic HCV, 25 post-HCV compensated cirrhosis and 23 $treatment-na{\ddot{i}}ve$ HCC cases). Results: Comparing miRNA fold changes in the HCC group vs the non HCC groups, there was significant fold decrease in miR-126 (P= 0.034), miR-129 (P= 0.006), miR-155 (P= 0.011), miR-203 (P<0.001) and miR-223 (P= 0.013). The highest AUC to differentiate HCC patients from non-HCC was 0.76 for miR-203. Conclusions: Among studied miRNAs, serum miR-203 has the highest potential as a non-invasive biomarker of HCC.

  • Nanometal alloy catalysts have been found to significantly increase catalytic efficiency, compared to the monometallic counterparts. This enhancement can be attributed to various alloying effects: i) the existence of uniquemixed-metal surface sites [the so called ensemble (geometric) effect]; ii) electronic state changes due to metal-metal interactions [the so called ligand (electronic) effect]; and iii) strain caused by lattice mismatch between the alloy components [the socalled strain effect]. In addition, the presence of low-coordination surface atoms and preferential exposure of specific facets [(111), (100), (110)] in association with the size and shape of nanoparticle catalysts [the so called shape-size-facet effect] can be another important factor for modifying the catalytic activity. However, mechanisms underlying the alloying effect still remain unclear owing to the difficulty of direct characterization. Computational approaches, particularly the prediction using first-principles density functional theory (DFT), can be a powerful and flexible alternative for unraveling the role of alloying effects in catalysis since those can give us quantitative insights into the catalytic systems. In this talk, I will present the underlying principles (such as atomic arrangement, facet, local strain, ligand interaction, and effective atomic coordination number at the surface) that govern catalytic reactions occurring on Pd-based alloys using the first-principles calculations. This work highlights the importance of knowing how to properly tailor the surface reactivity of alloy catalysts for achieving high catalytic performance.

  • The conjugated oligomers with rigid and fused-ring structures are of interest for the solution-processable organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) due to their well defined structure and high purity. In this study, alkyl substituted benzothiophene based oligomers were synthesized by a novel route, the key point of which is the acid-induced intermolecular cyclization reaction of aromatic methyl sulfoxides, and were confirmed by $^1H$-NMR and FT-IR studies. The obtained oligomers showed the good solubility in common organic solvents such as hexane, chloroform, and dimethylchloride at room-temperature, which is due to the introduced alkyl chain. The physical and optical properties of the oligomers were studied using differential scanning scalorimetry (DSC), cyclic-voltammetry (CV), UV-visible and PL spectra studies. Solution processed OTFT device based on synthesized oligomers show a high hole mobility of up to $0.01\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ of $10^5$ and threshold voltage of -14V.

  • This study proposes an optimal operational policy for a green supply chain (GSC) where a retailer pays an incentive for collection of used products from customers and determines the optimal order quantity of a single product under uncertainty in product demand. A manufacturer produces the optimal order quantity of product using recyclable parts with acceptable quality levels and covers a part of the retailer's incentive from the recycled parts. Here, two scenarios for the product demand are assumed as: the distribution of product demand is known, and only both mean and variance are known. This paper develops mathematical models to find how order quantity, collection incentive of used products and lower limit of quality level for recycling affect the expected profits of each member and the whole supply chain under both a decentralized GSC (DGSC) and an integrated GSC (IGSC). The analysis numerically compares the results under DGSC with those under IGSC for each scenario of product demand. Also, the effect of the quality of the recyclable parts on the optimal decisions is shown. Moreover, supply chain coordination to shift the optimal decisions of IGSC is discussed based on: I) profit ratio, II) Nash bargaining solution, and III) Combination of (I) and (II).

  • If rumen bacteria can be manipulated to utilize nutrients (i.e., ammonia and plant cell wall carbohydrates) more completely and efficiently, the need for protein supplementation can be reduced or eliminated and the digestion of fiber in forage or agricultural residue-based diets could be enhanced. However, these approaches require a complete and accurate description of the rumen community, as well as methods for the rapid and accurate detection of microbial density, diversity, phylogeny, and gene expression. Molecular ecology techniques based on small subunit (SSU) rRNA sequences, nucleic acid probes and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can potentially provide a complete description of the microbial ecology of the rumen of ruminant animals. The development of these molecular tools will result in greater insights into community structure and activity of gut microbial ecosystems in relation to functional interactions between different bacteria, spatial and temporal relationships between different microorganisms and between microorganisms and reed panicles. Molecular approaches based on SSU rRNA serve to evaluate the presence of specific sequences in the community and provide a link between knowledge obtained from pure cultures and the microbial populations they represent in the rumen. The successful development and application of these methods promises to provide opportunities to link distribution and identity of gastrointestinal microbes in their natural environment with their genetic potential and in situ activities. The use of approaches for assessing pupulation dynamics as well as for assessing community functionality will result in an increased understanding and a complete description of the gastrointestinal communities of production animals fed under different dietary regimes, and lead to new strategies for improving animal growth.

  • 한국천문연구원 GPS 그룹은 iRTK(inverted Real Time Kinematic)기 법을 이용한 준실시각 정밀측위 시스템을 개발한 바 있다. 이 연구는 중저가형 L1 반송파 수신기를 이용하여 측위 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 시스템의 자료처리능력을 개선시켰다. 이를 위해 시스템 자료 처리부에 확장 칼만 필터 방법을 적용하여 측위 정확도를 검증하였다. 실험은 30m 초단기선에서부터 20km 단기선까지 이루어졌다. 10km이내 기선에서 1분 관측시간으로 1m 수준을, 약 20km 기선에서 2분 관측으로 1m 수준의 측위결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 이전의 3m 수준에 비해 약 70%정도 향상된 것이다. 이 시스템을 이용하면 지적물 위치파악이나 물류시스템과 같은 준실시각 정밀측위 분야에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
