Objectives : This study was done to develop Korean form of Reynolds' SIQ-JR(Suicidal Ideational Questionnaire-Junior). Through this study we evaluated reliability and validity of Korean form SIQ-JR. Methods : Subjects were 1,160 middle and high school students and 114 adolescent psychiatric patients. SIQ-JR and 8 self-reporting scales highly related with suicidal ideation and suicide behaviors were applied to them. Results : In reliability aspect of Korean form of SIQ-JR, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and item-total correlation were statistically significant results. In factor analysis, concerning about other person was extracted as a indepenedent factor. This results reflect our cultural characteristics. There were statistical differences of SIQ-JR scores in groups by sex and age. Clinical group showed significantly(P<0.01) higher scores than general population. Among the 8 suicidal relating scales, depression(r=0.42), aggression(r=0.36), trait anxiety(r=0.35), and anger-in(r=0.31) were highly related with suicidal ideation but impulsivity and hopelessness were not significantly related with suicidal ideation. Conclusion : Korean form of SIQ-JR was useful instrument in reliability and validity. We hope that this instrument widely used in school mental health, community psychiatry and clinical setting for screening tool.

Innate immunity is the ability to differentiate infectious agents from self. The innate immune system is comprised of a complicated network of recognition and effector molecules that act together to protect the host in the early stage of an infectious challenge. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL or mannose-binding protein, MBP) belongs to the family of $Ca^{2+}$-dependent lectins (C-type lectin with a collagen-like domain), which are considered an important component of innate immunity. While it is associated with increased risk and severity of infections and autoimmunity, the most frequent immuno-deficiency syndrome was reported to be low MBL level in blood. Deficiency of human MBL is caused by mutations in the coding region of the MBL gene. Rat homologue gene of human MBL gene was used to study functions of wild type and mutant MBL proteins. Although extensive studies have yielded the structural information of MBL, the functions of MBL, especially mutant MBL, still require investigation. We previously reported the cloning of rat wild-type MBL gene and the production of a truncated form of MBL protein and its antibody. Here, we present the cloning of mutant MBL cDNA in collagen-like domain (R40C, G42D, and G45E) using site-directed mutagenesis and differential behaviors of wild type and mutant MBL in cells. The major difference between wild type and mutant MBL was that while wild type MBL was secreted, mutant MBL was inhibited for secretion, retained in endoplasmic reticulum, and still functioned as a lectin.

This study compares Customer Satisfaction Index(CSI) and the weight for each dimension by applying various methods of weight calculation and attempts to suggest some implications. For the purpose, the study classified the methods of weight calculation into the subjective method and the statistical method. Constant sum scale was used for the subjective method, and the statistical method was again segmented into correlation analysis, principal component analysis, factor analysis, structural equation model. The findings showed that there is difference between the weights from the subjective method and the statistical method. The order of the weights by the analysis methods were classified with similar patterns. Besides, the weight for each dimension by different methods of weight calculation showed considerable deviation and revealed the difference of discrimination and stability among the dimensions. Lastly, the CSI calculated by various methods of weight calculation showed to be the highest in structural equation model, followed by in the order of regression analysis, correlation analysis, arithmetic mean, principal component analysis, constant sum scale and factor analysis. The CSI calculated by each method showed to have statistically significant difference.

Zn의 수요는 매년 증가하지만 매장량의 한계로 대체용 물질계가 개발이 필요한 시점이다. Zn보다 상대적으로 풍부하고 동일 두께의 Zn 코팅층과 비교하여 우수한 내식성을 보이는 Al과 Mg의 코팅층을 제작하여 Al-Mg 코팅 강판의 특성 분석 및 평가를 실시하였다. Al-Mg 코팅층은 99.99%의 Al, 99.9%의 Mg target을 사용하여 스퍼터링을 이용하여 냉연강판 위에 코팅하였다. 증발물질과 기판과의 거리는 7cm 이며, 기판은 세척을 실시한 후 클리닝 챔버에 장착하고 ~10-5 Torr 까지 진공배기를 실시하였다. 클리닝 챔버가 기본 압력까지 배기되면 아르곤 가스를 주입하고 기판 홀더에 -800 V의 직류 전압을 인가하여 약 30분간 글로우 방전 청정을 실시하였다. 기판의 청정이 끝나면 아르곤 가스를 차단하고 코팅 챔버로 시편을 이송 후 코팅층 성분의 구성형태에 따라 Al과 Mg을 코팅하였다. Al-Mg 코팅층은 $3{\mu}m$의 두께를 기준으로 Mg wt.%의 비율을 5% ~ 90%까지 변화시키며 코팅하였다. 그리고 후속 공정으로 질소 분위기 $400^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 열처리를 하였다. Al-Mg 코팅층을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 표면에서는 Al-Mg 코팅층에 존재하는 Mg 함량이 높아질수록 grain의 크기가 증가하였고 단면에서는 열처리 전의 치밀한 구조에서 열처리 후에는 주상구조 혹은 grain 구조가 선명해지는 것을 볼 수 있었으며 글로우방전분광기로 Al과 Mg의 성분 비율변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Al-Mg가 코팅된 강판을 염수분무시험을 통해서 내부식 특성을 확인하였다. Al-Mg 코팅 강판의 염수분무시험 결과, Mg 함량이 낮은 Al-Mg 코팅층은 열처리 후 뚜렷한 내식성 향상을 보였으며 Mg 조성 변화에 따라 일정한 경향성을 보였다. 하지만 Mg 함량이 높은 Al-Mg 코팅층은 열처리 후 급격한 내식성 저하와 함께 시편간의 편자가 커지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 최적의 내식성을 보이는 Mg의 조성을 확인하기 위해서는 향후 보다 변별력이 높은 평가가 결과가 필요하다고 판단되어진다.

Recently, as multimedia information becomes popular, there are many studies to retrieve images based on images in the web. However, it is hard to find the matching images which users want to find because of various patterns in images. In this paper, we suggest an efficient images retrieval system based on images for finding products in internet shopping malls. We extract features for image retrieval by using SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm, repeat keypoint matching in various dimension by using PCA-SIFT, and find the image which users search for by combining them. To verify efficiency of the proposed method, we compare the performance of our approach with that of SIFT and PCA-SIFT by using images with various patterns. We verify that the proposed method shows the best distinction in the case that product labels are not included in images.

Extraction of texts from images is a fundamental and important problem to understand the images. This paper suggests a text region verification method by statistical means of stroke features of the characters. The method extracts 36 dimensional features from $16\times16$sized text and non-text images using wavelet transform - these 36 dimensional features express stroke and direction of characters - and select 12 sub-features out of 36 dimensional features which yield adequate separation between classes. After selecting the features, SVM trains the selected features. For the verification of the text region, each $16\times16$image block is scanned and classified as text or non-text. Then, the text region is finally decided as text region or non-text region. The proposed method is able to verify text regions which can hardly be distin guished.

This study explores children's categories of emotion understanding from facial expressions onto two dimensional structure of emotion. Children of 89 from 3 to 5 years old were required to those facial expressions related the fourteen emotion terms. Facial expressions applied for experiment are used the photographs rated the degree of expression in each of the two dimensions (pleasure-displeasure dimension and arousal-sleep dimension) on a nine-point scale from 54 university students. The experimental results showed that children indicated the greater stability in arousal dimension than stability in pleasure-displeasure dimension. Emotions about sadness, sleepiness, anger and surprise onto two dimensions was understand very well, but emotions about fear, boredom were showed instability in pleasure-displeasure dimension. Specifically, 3 years old children indicated highly the perception in a degree of arousal-sleep than perception of pleasure-displeasure.

Odor sensing system that is electronic nose device and its signal processing technique has potential to become a critical service for the people who require tangibility of sense of smell in the multimedia communication. PCA(Principal Component Analysis) have been used for dimensionality reduction and visualization of multivariate measurement data. PCA is good for estimating importance value by variance of data but, have some limitation for getting meaningful representation from odor sensing system. This paper explain about how to analyze the data of odor sensing system by ICA(Independent Component Analysis). We show that ICA can give better result like sensor drift analysis, dimensionality reduction and data representation by improved discrimination.
