The optimal conditions for the production of branched dextrin from com starch (CSBD) using branching enzyme (BE) were established by investigating the degree of retrogradation of the gelatinized starch. The physicochemical properties of CSBD prepared using the established process were evaluated. It was found that physicochemical properties of com starch were greatly modified by BE treatment. CSBD had a higher dextrose-equivalent value and water solubility than the corresponding control. On the other hand, the viscosities in gelatinized solution and amylose contents of CSBD were lower than those of the control. A high-performance size-exclusion chromatography/multiangle laser light scattering/retractive index (HPSEC/MALLS/RI) system showed that the average molecular weight of CSBD was lower than that of the control. The pasting viscosities of CSBD were stable during the entire temperature cycle. In general, the BE treatment resulted in the retrogradation during storage being lower for CSBD than for the control.

Myxoma is an uncertain mesenchymal cell origin, characterized by irregular round, stellate or spindle cells surrounded by the matrix containing abundant mucoid material and scant vascularity. Their occurrence in descending order of frequency is in the heart, subcutaneous tissue, bone and genitourinary tract. In the head and neck region, the most predilection sites are mandible and maxilla(more than 80%). Laryngeal myxoma is extremely rare：only 5 cases have been reported in the English literature. We report a rare case of laryngeal myxoma. A 60-year-old man with hoarseness visited the out-patient department. The mass was located between the vocal fold and the vocal ligament, filling with the left laryngeal ventricle. We planned the laryngo-microsurgery and successfully excised using $CO_2$ laser. The histopathologic finding revealed the myxoma. After 18 months of surgery, there is no evidence of recurrence and mucosal scarring in the vocal fold. This report is the first case of laryngeal myxoma involving the laryngeal ventricle and the true vocal cord together.

To investigate the antifungal activity related protein in pesticidal bacteria, a bacterial strain LTD was isolated from soil collected at Gimje in Jeonbuk province, Korea, and identified as Bacillus subtilis LTD based on a API50 CHB kit and 168 rDNA sequencing. It has an antifungal activity against 9 plant pathogenic fungi in a paper disc assay. The antifungal activity- deficient mutant, B. subtilis mLTD was induced at a 5 kGy dose of $^{60}Co$ gamma radiation. Using the two-dimensional electrophoresis and the matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, the comparison analysis of proteins between the wild and mutant were performed. A major intracellular serine proteinase IspA (MW: 32.5 kDa), a NAD (P) H dehydrogenase (MW: 20.0 kDa), and a stage II sporulation protein AA, SpoIIAA (MW: 14.3kDa) were detected only in the B. subtilis LTD. These results suggested that the functions of these proteins found only in the B. subtilis LTD could. be closely related to the antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi.

We fabricated a sensor for measuring the water level and water temperature using GMR-SV (giant magnetoresistance-spin valve) device, simultaneously. It could be applied to the medical cooling system of the potassium titanylphosphate KTP) laser system for the therapy of a benign prostatic hyperplasia. The middle point of GMR-SV device was set to the near position of a high magnetic sensitivity with 2.8%/Oe. The sensitivity for the water level and water temperature of the fabricated sensor were $400\;m{\Omega}/mm$ and $100\;m{\Omega}/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The glass used for Mobile Camera Window is required to have high strength. Cell type manufacturing by means of CNC is widely used for camera window. Individual loading and unloading is needed for each process, such as painting and PVD, in cell type manufacturing. The purpose of this study is to search the enhanced manufacturing process with sheet type throughout bulk unit production in painting and PVD. This study includes sheet type manufacturing processes such as laser cutting, wet etching, 2nd tempering, printing, and AF/AR coating.

Incoherent broadband optical sources have been applied in various areas such as a light source for optical device characterization, fiber-optic gyroscopes$^{(1)}$ , and spectrum sliced light source in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system$^{(2)}$ . To utilize the inherent low loss in silica optical fibers, various types of incoherent light sources are being developed. Among the light sources, the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from a rare earth doped fiber has benefits in temperature stability, high output power, low polarization dependence over semiconductor diodes$^{(3)}$ . Recently erbium doped fibers (EDF) have been intensively researched for ASE sources as well as optical amplifiers$^{(4)}$ . The spectrum of ASE from an EDF, however, is limited in the 1520~1560 nm range in conventional configurations. In this letter we described a new broadband ASE source which included both the conventional ASE band of Er$^{3+}$ ion, 1520nm~1560nm and ASE band from Tm$^{3+}$ ions that extends the bandwidth further. For the first time, to the best knowledge of authors, a fiber ASE source based on the energy transfer between Er$^{3+}$ and Tm$^{3+}$ ions in the range of 1460~1550 nm, has been demonstrated using a single 980nm pump laser diode.

The lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) was previously known to pyogenic granuloma and is benign vascular lesion which grows rapidly on skin and mucosa. It arises from whole body, but oral and nasal cavities are most predilection sites in the head and neck area. The laryngeal LCH looks like a granulomatous lesion of posterior glottis and its common etiology are tracheal intubation and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease etc. The LCH in larynx can cause blood tinged sputum and lump sense. The lesions refractory to medical therapy or causing dyspnea may require surgical excision. A 74-year-old man who presented gradually aggravated dyspnea, lump sensation and hoarseness of one month came to our hospital. The stroboscopic examination revealed large well-margined glottic mass. It was excised with $CO_2$ laser and finally diagnosed as LCH. We present a rare unique case of glottic LCH with a review of literatures.

회주철 모재의 표면에 감압 플라즈마 용사법으로 실리콘 분말을 피복시킨 후 $CO_2$ 레이저를 이용하는 표면 합금화로 고온 내스케일성이 향상된 표면 개질층을 제조하였다. 실리콘의 표면 합금층에는 응집상의 흑연(chunky graphite)이 $Fe_5Si_3$로 구성된 망상의 화합물 기지속에 정출하는 조직특성을 보였다. 대기 분위기에서 18.0ks동안 열중량측정(TG)한 결과 실리콘 표면 합금층의 무게 증가율은 회주철 모재에 비하여 923K에서는 약 1/3, 1098K에서는 약 1/10을 나타내었다. 그리고 1098K에서 18.0ks동안 유지시킨 주철모재 시편에서 원래의 모재표면을 기준으로 다공성의 외부스케일과 편상흑연을 따라 생성된 내부스케일로 구성된 두께 $60{\sim}70\;{\mu}m$의 두꺼운 산화스케일이 생성되었으나, 실리콘의 표면 합금층에서는 두께 $3{\sim}5\;{\mu}m$의 치밀한 외부 산화스케일만이 생성되었다. 실리콘 합금층의 단면 미소경도값은 MHV $300{\sim}1100$으로 그 변동폭이 심하였으나, 진공분위기에서 열처리(1223K, 18.0ks)한 경우 미소경도값의 편차는 MHV $300{\sim}500$으로 개선되었다.

In this study, friction tests were carried out in order to investigate the friction behavior of textured surface in unlubricated state using ball-on-disk type apparatus. Test specimens were SUJ2 bearing steel ball and SM45C steel disk. Square arrays of circular micro-dimples were created on the surface of disk specimen by Nd:YAG Laser. Friction tests were performed for the disk specimen with various micro-dimple parameters and was also conducted for the variation of normal loads and relative velocities. The results showed that fiction coefficient of textured surface was lower than that of non-textured surface and the deeper depth of micro-dimple was, the lower friction coefficient obtained at the same diameter of micro-dimple in unlubricated state. Area density of micro-dimple had an effect on the friction coefficient. It was also found that friction coefficient generally decreased with the increase of normal load and relative velocity.

Characteristics of thin-film NTC thermal sensors fabricated by micromachining technology were studied as a function of the thickness of membrane. The overall-structure of thermal sensor has a form of Au/Ti/NTC/$SiO_{X}$/(100)Si. NTC film of $Mn_{1.5}CoNi_{0.5}O_{4}$ with 0.5 mm in thickness was deposited on $SiO_{X}$ layer (1.2 mm) by PLD (pulsed laser deposition) and annealed at 873-1073 K in air for 1 hour. Au(200 nm)/Ti(100 nm) electrode was coated on NTC film by dc sputtering. By the results of microstructure, X-ray and NTC analysis, post-annealed NTC films at 973 K for 1 hour showed the best characteristics as NTC thermal sensing film. In order to reduce the thermal mass and thermal time constant of sensor, the sensing element was built-up on a thin membrane with the thickness of 20-65 mm. Sensors with thin sensing membrane showed the good detecting characteristics.
