This study was conducted to compare the immunochemical properties of female-specific serum proteins (vitellogenin, VTG) and egg yolk proteins in female fusilier, Caesio diagramma. VTG of fusilier was identified and characterized by using immunochemical analysis. Two types of VTG (VTG1 and VTG2) reacted clearly with antiserum against egg proteins, were confirmed in the serum of mature female. The results of sephacryl S-300 showed that the molecular weights of VTG1 and VTG2 were 560,000 and 410,000, respectively. Yolk proteins, E2 and E3, were isolated from egg extracts, and molecular weights of them were estimated 410,000 and 170,000, respectively. The treatment of $17\beta$-estradiol ($E_2$) to males has induced the synthesis of VTG of which immunological characteristics seems to be similar to the yolk proteins. The results suggest that VTG can be synthesized in the liver by the action of $E_2$ stimulation, and incorporated into the oocytes through the blood circulation. The level of serum $E_2$ was moderately high throughout the spawning period of June. The level of serum VTG was also sustained at high in May and June. The concentration changes of serum $E_2$ and VTG were corelated to the ovarian development in female fusilier. The results indicated that $E_2$ may have some important roles for the vitellogenesis in female fusilier. Also) the VTG can be a precursor protein of yolk not only because it could be synthesized in the liver then incorporated into the oocytes but also because an egg yolk protein had the similiar molecular weights and antigenecity with VTG.

Juniper seed oil extracted by steam distillation has been a useful material as a medicine, insect repellant, and flavorant for alcoholic beverages. As the result of juniper seed oil analysis, the acid value, saponification value, unsaponification value phosphorus contents, and refractive index were 91.04, 85.15, 15.52, 11.04 ppm, 1.47, respectively The content of neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were 85.4%, 12.2% and 2.4%, respectively. From the fatty acids analysis, the major fatty acids from the juniperseed harvested in August were lauric acid (31.9% ), palmitic acid (28.0% ), stearic acid (9.9%), and oleic acid (8.5%) . However, maturated seed oil harvested in October mainly consists of linoleic acid (47.6%), linolenic acid (17.6%), oleic acid (16.1%), and palmitic acid (11.9%). Upon these analyses, fatty acids composition of juniper seed oil depends on the seed maturation. According to volatile compounds analyses of essential oil extracted using steam distillation method and SPME, the major compounds were $\beta$-myrcene, $\alpha$-pinene, $\beta$-farnescene, $\beta$-cubebene, limonene, trans-caryo-phyllene, $\alpha$-terpinolene, camphene, sabinene, and $\beta$-pinene.

The double gate(DG) MOSFET is a promising candidate to further extend the CMOS scaling and provide better control of short channel effect(SCE). DGMOSFETs, having ultra thin undoped Si channel for SCEs control, ale being validated for sub-20nm scaling. A novel analytical transport model for the subthreshold mode of DGMOSFETs is proposed in this paper. The model enables analysis of short channel effect such as the subthreshold swing(SS), the threshold voltage roil-off$({\Delta}V_{th})$ and the drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL). The proposed model includes the effects of thermionic emission and quantum tunneling of carriers through the source-drain barrier. An approximative solution of the 2D Poisson equation is used for the distribution of electric potential, and Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation is used for the tunneling probability. The new model is used to investigate the subthreshold characteristics of a double gate MOSFET having the gate length in the nanometer range $(5-20{\sim}nm)$ with ultra thin gate oxide and channel thickness. The model is verified by comparing the subthreshold swing and the threshold voltage roll-off with 2D numerical simulations. The proposed model is used to design contours for gate length, channel thickness, and gate oxide thickness.

The GafChromic film was used for the dosimetry of a balloon angio catheter filled with the radioisotope HO-166 for endovascular irradiation. The balloon angio catheter was 2 cm long and 3 mm in diameter when inflated. The isotope, Ho-166, was produced by the neutron bombardment using the research reactor in Korea Atomic Energy Research Insititute. Co-60 teletherapy beam was used for making H-D curve for the Gaf-Chromic film. The film dosimetry was measured with a videodensitometer. The radial dose distribution indicated that the absorbed dose dropped to about 20% of the surface dose at the 1 mm away from the balloon surface and at 5 mm position the dose decreased to below 1% of the surface dose. The result also shows that with the specific activity of Ho-l66, 250 mCi/ml it takes 230 seconds to deliver 1200 cGy to the region where is 1mm away from the balloon surface. The concentric isodose curves were also presented. The Ho-166 is an another alternative for endovascualr irradiation to prevent restenosis after PTCA (Percutaneous Trans Coronary Angioplasty)

The effects of temperature on the uptake of $^{137}Cs$ from seawater and on the retention after its uptake by the clam Cycling sinensis was investigated under laboratory conditions. The clams exhibited a greater bioaccumulation of $^{137}Cs$ in $25^{\circ}C$-acclimated animals than those acclimated at $15^{\circ}C$. The viscera of the clams reached the highest bioconcentration factor after 14 days uptake from seawater, but the tissue distribution pattern of $^{137}Cs$ was little influenced, if any, by the uptake temperature. The uptake rate slightly decreased with an increase of temperature in order of $10^{\circ}C$. The radionuclide accumulated in clams was released again in a radionuclide-free seawater according to a two-exponential compartment model. A temperature increase of $10^{\circ}C$ reduced the biological half-life of the long-lived component with a factor of about two, whereas it caused no change in the short-lived component.

In order to elucidate the possible change in the non-extractable bound residue of TCAB(3,3' 4,4' - tetrachloroazobenzene) in soil as a function of aging period, uniformly ring-labelled $^{14}C-TCAB$ was treated to soil(organic matter : 1.8%), and aged for 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 months at $21{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, respectively. $^{14}CO_2$ evolution and volatilization loss during the aging were negligible. The amounts of non-extractable bound residue of TCAB increased gradually from 7.55% in 3-month aging to 19.32% in 15-month aging. Partition data suggested no formation of polar groups in the chemical structure of TCAB. Most of $^{14}C-radioactivity$ of bound residues was present in humin in the range of 50.52 to 58.93%. The fact that the number of microorganisms in soil decreased relative to the control suggested no chance of their involvement in the formation of non-extractable bound residues. Accordingly, the increase in the non-extractable bound residue of TCAB in soil with aging period is believed to be due to the transformation of the trans isomer to the cis one which is more polar and more adsorptive than the former.

This paper describes a potential-based panel method formulated for the prediction of the steady performance of a waterjet propulsor. The method employs normal dipoles and sources distributed on the solid surfaces such as the impeller/stator blades, hub and duct, and normal dipoles in the shed wakes trailing the impeller and stator to represent the potential flow around the waterjet propulsor. To define a closed boundary surface, the inlet and outlet open boundary surfaces are introduced where the sources and dipoles are distributed. The kinematic boundary condition on the solid boundary surface is satisfied by requiring that the normal component of the total velocity should vanish. On the inlet surface, the total inflow flux into the duct is specified, and on the outlet surface the conservation of mass principle is applied to evaluate the source strength. The solid surfaces are discretized into a set of quadrilateral panel elements and the strengths of sources and dipoles are assumed constant at each panel. Applying this approximation to the boundary conditions leads to a set of simultaneous equations. Systematic numerical tests show that the present numerical method is fast and stable. In order to validate the present method, sample computations are carried out first for the case of a conventional axial flow fan which has a similar geometry as the waterjet propulsor, and then for the case of a waterjet propulsor on which experiments are carried out at KRISO(Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering).

Low energy high resolution (LEHR) collimator is the most widely used collimator in SPECT imaging. LEHR has an advantage in terms of image resolution but has a difficulty in acquiring high sensitivity due to the narrow hole size and long septa height. Throughput in SPECT can be improved by increasing counts per second with the use of high sensitivity collimators. The purpose of this study is to develop a system model in iterative image reconstruction to recover the resolution degradation caused by high sensitivity collimators with bigger hole size. We used fan-beam model instead of parallel-beam model for calculation of detection probabilities to accurately model the high sensitivity collimator with wider holes. In addition the weight factors were calculated and applied onto the probabilities as a function of incident angle of incoming photons and distance from source to the collimator surface. The proposed system model resulted in the equivalent performance with the same counts (i.e. in shortened acquisition time) and improved image quality in the same acquisition time. The proposed method can be effectively applied for resolution improvement of pixel collimator of next generation solid state detectors.

석탄중에는 미량원소(trace elements)가 포함되어 있으며 이들의 농도는 석탄의 종류나 산지에 따라 크게 다르다. 석탄중의 미량원소를 제거하는 것은 그동안 크게 문제가 되지 않았으나 최근 환경문제가 점차 고조되면서 이에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 일반적으로 사람의 건강 및 환경에 유해한 원소중에서 화석연료 사용과 관련이 있는 원소는 비소(As), 카드늄(Cd), 납(Pb), 구리(Cu), 수은(Hg), 니켈(Ni), 셀레니움(Se) 및 아연(Zn) 등 8개 원소이다. 그러나 그외에도 배출규제의 대상이 되는 원소는 코발트(Co), 염소(Cl), 안티모니(Sb), 베릴리움(Be), 크롬(Cr)과 망간(Mn)이며 이중 망간은 석탄사용과 직접적인 관련이 있다. 따라서 Mn을 포함한 9개 원소가 석탄의 사용에 따른 중금속 방출과 관련이 있는 것으로 간주되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전용 석탄에 대한 물리적 전처리 공정을 적용하여 석탄중의 광물질등을 미리 제거하므로서 연소 후 배출되는 배기가스중의 중금속 저감 가능성을 관찰하였다. 본 연구결과 전처리 공정의 석탄중의 Trace elements양을 감소시키므로서 연소 후 중금속의 배출량을 크게 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 발전소에 적용하고 있는 ESP가 배출가스중 As, Cu, Zn, Mn등의 중금속을 제거하는데 효율적이기는 하나 가스상으로 존재하는 Hg, Se등을 제거하는데는 효율적이지 못하다. 전처리공정 전후 회분중에 함유된 미량원소를 분석한 결과, 국내 무연탄이나 해외 유연탄 모두 중금속 제거에 있어서 유사한 경향을 보여주었으며, Pb, Zn, Mn 등은 50∼70%, 특히 Hg 배출량은 80% 이상 저감이 가능하였다. 전반적으로 년간 총 중금속 배출량도 50∼60%가 감소하여 전처리 공정이 석탄중의 중금속을 줄이는데 크게 기여함을 확인하였다.을 선택할 수 있는 메뉴 그리고 계산 결과를 파일로 혹은 프린트로 출력할 것을 선택할 수 있는 메뉴가 있다. 사용자는 해당되는 데이타를 입력한후 마우스로 원하는 작업의 메뉴를 선택하면 된다. 방법을 타액과 혈청내 testosterone 농도 측정에 응용하여 RIA의 결과와 비교하여 본 바 상관관계가 타액에서 r=0.969, 혈청에서 r=0.990으로 두 결과가 잘 일치하였다. 본 실험에서 측정된 한국인 여성의 타액내 testosterone농도는 107.7$\pm$12.0 pmol／l이었고, 남성의 타액내 농도는 274.2$\pm$22.1 pmol／l이었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 연구에서 정립된 EIA 방법은 RIA를 대신하여 소규모의 실험실에서도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사려된다.또한 상실기 이후 배아에서 합성되며, 발생시기에 따라 그 영향이 다르고 팽창과 부화에 관여하는 것으로 사료된다. 더욱이, 조선의 ${\ulcorner}$구성교육${\lrcorner}$이 조선총독부의 관리하에서 실행되었다는 것을, 당시의 사범학교를 중심으로 한 교육조직을 기술한 문헌에 의해 규명시켰다.nd of letter design which represents -natural objects and was popular at the time of Yukjo Dynasty, and there are some documents of that period left both in Japan and Korea.

Fluoxetine and tianeptine are commonly used as antidepressants (AD), and haloperidol and risperidone are widely used as antipsychotic drugs (APD), and it modulates various ion channels. TREK2 channel subfamily is very similar to physiological properties of TREK1 channel which can play important roles in the pathophysiology of mental disorders such as depression and schizophrenia, therefore, the pharmacological effect of psychiatric and depression drug on TREK2 channel may be similar to those of TREK1. Using the excised inside-out patch-clamp technique, we have examined the effects of APD and AD on cloned TREK2 channel expressed CHO cells. Fluoxetine (selective serotonin release inhibitor, SSRI) inhibited the TREK2 channel in a concentration-dependent manner ($IC_{50}$ $13{\mu}M$), whereas selective serotonin reuptake enhancer (SSRE) tianeptine increased without reducing the TREK2 channel activity. Haloperidol also inhibited the TREK2 channel in a concentration-dependent manner ($IC_{50}$ $44{\mu}M$), whereas even higher concentration ($100{\mu}M$) of risperidone did not completely inhibit on the activity. This study showed that TREK2 channel was preferentially blocked by fluoxetine rather than tianeptine, and inhibited by haloperidol rather than risperidone, suggesting differential effect of TREK2 channels by APD and AD may contribute to some mechanism of adverse side effects.
