Commercial fibers such as two kinds of micro-fiber, flannel, and cotton were analyzed for their nutrient solution absorption capacity to select hydrophilic mat used for the irrigation management by drainage level sensor in perlite bag culture. The selected mat was evaluated in terms of absorption capacity. Cotton had the highest absorption capacity and was revealed to be the most appropriate for the control system.

Exponential decrease of saturation absorption signal was reported in pump beam spacially keeping off from probe beam. Optimum angle between pump beam and probe beam in the differential-velocity-selective saturation absorption spectroscopy was computed theoretically, $1.33^{\circ}$ in cesium atoms and $1.08^{\circ}$ in Rb 87 atoms, and was good agreement with the experimental results.

This study analyzes the improvement of absorptive capacity by basic research and the mediating effect of applied research to the innovations in the semiconductor industry. With 103 firms in the last 20 years tested firstly, applied research gives a more significant effect than basic research on the innovations. Secondly applied research functions as complete mediating effect between basic research and technological innovations. We also confirms high-performing firms are active in basic research to overcome technological hurdles. This paper suggests that basic research is needed as well as applied research. This study also implies strategic partnership and joint research with universities which have more suitable environment for basic research are needed in a long-term.

열풍건조 전 전처리로서 $50^{\circ}C의$ 2%(w/v)가용성 전분용액에서 20분간 침지를 한 처리구와 건조 후 분말 입자크기가 $40^{\circ}C,$ 90%RH의 저장 중 분말양파의 물리적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 저장 중 수분흡수는 처리구와 대조구 모두 분말양파의 입자 크기에 관계없이 저장 초기에 빠르게 이루어진 후 저장시간이 지남에 따라서 둔화되었다. 처리구가 대조구에 비하여 저장중 수분흡수가 작게 나타났다. 처리구의 경우 분말입자가 큰 -24+60 mesh의 수분흡수는 저장 6시간 후 처리구와 대조구의 덩어리 형성 정도는 각각 12.26과 60.1%이었다. 입자 크기에 다른 덩어리 형성 정도는 처리구에서 저장 1시간 후 2.28%과 23.6%로 나타났다. 겉보기 밀도에서는 처리구가 대조구에 비하여 전반적으로 높은 값을 나타내었으며 처리구의 경우 수분흡수가 0.03에서 0.12g수분/g고형분으로 늘어남에 따라서 겉보기 밀도는 입자가 큰 분말은 0.49에서 0.38g/㎤이였으며 입자가 작은 분말은 0.31에서 0.29g/㎤로 나타났다. 압축성에서는 입자 크기가 크고, 수분흡수가 많이 이루어진 분말일수록 도한 대조구가 처리구 보다 응집성질을 가지게 되므로 높은 값을 나타내었다. 이완상수에서는 입자가 큰 처리구의 경우 수분흡수가 3.0과 12.1%이루어 진 것을 비교하면 각각 2.45와 2.01로 나타났다. 이는, 수분흡수가 높아짐에 따라서 고체 성질이 줄어들게 됨으로써 이완상수값이 낮아지기 때문이다.

The structure of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in Chlorogloea fritschii was analyzed by FT-IR spectrometry under various conditions (phosphate starves or sufficient conditions). They exhibited characteristic absorption peaks for PHB, such as C=O stretching band at 1700-1800 $cm^-1$and C-H stretching bands at about 2900 $cm^-1$, however, the intensity of C-H stretching peaks, relative to the rest of the spectrum was increased under phosphate starved condition, which suggests that C. fritschii might produce another modified PHB polymer under phosphate starved condition.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of skin surface temperature on transdermal absorption of active substances and changes in skin condition. A transdermal absorption test was conducted using an emulsion containing 10% heat-resistant niacinamide, and the same emulsion was used in a clinical trial to test the thermal effects. As a result, absorption was found to be 2 times greater at 10 minutes and 3 times greater at 15 minutes after application at $42^{\circ}C$ than that of compared to normal skin temperature. During the clinical evaluation on skin, no clinical subjects showed any specific adverse reactions, while moisture and oiliness showed statistically significant effects at higher temperatures. Based on these results, it was confirmed that thermal warmer improves the absorption of active substances and had a positive effect on skin condition. It is deemed that this study will provide a preliminary data to support the development of various beauty devices using heat.

대사성 골 질환인 골다공증(Osteoporosis)의 조기 진단을 위한 골 밀도를 측정하는 방법이 최근 연구되고 있다. 골 밀도 영상은 이중 에너지 X 선 흡수법에 의해 측정되는데, 영상에 존재하는 잡음은 뼈 영역 추출과 골 밀도 계산에 어려움을 주고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최근 신호처리 분야에서 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 sparse 표현을 도입하여 X 선 영상의 잡음을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 제안한 잡음 제거 방법의 결과가 기존의 방법에 비해 개선됨을 MSR(Mean to Standard deviation Ratio)과 CNR(Contrast to Noise Ratio)을 통해 확인하였다.

반투명 재질의 효과적인 표현을 위해서 일반적으로 사용되는 빛의 확산 모델은 일반적 확산 모델(Standard Diffusion model: SDA)이다. 그러나 일반적 확산 모델은 흡수 변수 (absorption coefficient) ${\sigma}_a$가 감소한 산란 변수(reduced scattering coefficient) ${\sigma}_s$ 보다 상대적으로 큰 재질에 대해서는 부정확한 한계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 다양한 모델이 제시되었다. $P_N$ 근사화 이론은 이러한 일반적 확산 모델이 가지고 있는 한계를 잘 극복한다. 우리는 일반적 확산 모델을 기반으로 하고 $P_3$ 근사화 이론의 변수들을 이용하는 hybrid-P3 근사화 방법을 이용하여 흡수 변수가 감소한 산란 변수보다 상대적으로 큰 재질을 그래픽 공간 상에서 효과적으로 표현하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 그 재질의 광학적 특성을 추정하기 위하여 우리가 제안하는 모델에 적합한 측정장비를 개발하다.

Brown seaweeds have been shown to decrease blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity previously. In this study, we investigated the effect of fucoidan, a complex polysaccharide derived from brown seaweeds, on glucose uptake to improve insulin resistance, and examined its mechanism of action in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We observed that fucoidan significantly increased glucose uptake and it was related to an increased expression of plasma membrane-glucose transporter 4 (PM-GLUT4) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Fucoidan treatment increased the activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1tyr) compared with that of the control cells. Fucoidan also promoted the phosphorylation of Akt and protein kinase C (PKC)-λ/ζ compared to that of the control cells. Moreover, fucoidan significantly upregulated acetyl-CoA-carboxylase (ACC) and adenosine monophosphate - activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. As a result, translocation of GLUT4 was significantly enhanced in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which significantly promoted glucose uptake via the PI3K/AMPK pathways. The elevation of glucose uptake by fucoidan was blocked by inhibitor of PI3K and inhibitor of AMPK in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These findings indicate that fucoidan might ameliorate glucose uptake through GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane by activating the PI3K/Akt and AMPK pathways in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Fucoidan is thought to be of high material value to diabetes treatments and functional foods.
