In this paper, we investigated the performance of both DNA coding method and Genetic Algorithm(GA) in numeric pattern (from 0 to 9) recognition. The performance of the DNA coding method is compared to the that of the GA. GA searches effectively an optimal solution via the artificial evolution of individual group of binary string using binary coding, while DNA coding method uses four-type bases denoted by Adenine(A), Cytosine(C), Guanine(G) and Thymine(T). To compare the performance of both method, the same genetic operators(crossover and mutation) are applied and the probabilities of crossover and mutation are set the same values. The results show that the DNA coding method has better performance over GA. The reasons for this outstanding performance are multiple candidate solution presentation in one string and variable solution string length.

The purpose of this study was to explore high school teacher's and students' perceptions of learning difficulties of the ‘chemical bond' unit of the Chemistry II in the 7th national curriculum. The participants in this study were consisted of a teacher and his students(85) from the Chemistry II classrooms: they all answered to the questionnaire, and then some students and the teacher were interviewed individually. The results showed that there were big differences between the teacher's and his students' perceptions of 1) the most difficult unit for understanding; 2) concepts they learned; and 3) the most difficult concept for understanding in the classroom. Students thought that electro-negativity unit was the most difficult to understand while teacher thought molecular structure unit was the hardest unit to teach. And teacher taught all 32 subjects of chemical bond unit to students, but some students could not remember they learned all of them. Most difficult parts for students to understand were ‘Coulomb force' and ‘dipole moment', while the most difficult part for the teacher to teach was ‘the conceptual difference between atomic bond and intermolecular force'. The reasons caused the students' learning difficulties were analyzed and discussed based on the interview data, and then further study was presented.

Molecular recognition technology has attracted considerable attention for improving the selectivity of a specific molecule by imprinting it on a polymer matrix. In this study, adsorption and release characteristics of chitosan based drug delivery films imprinted with sulindac (SLD) were investigated in terms of the plasticizer, temperature and pH and the results were also interpreted by the related mathematical models. The adsorption characteristics of target molecules on SLD-imprinted polymer films were better explained by the Freundlich and Sips equation than that of the Langmuir equation. The binding site energy distribution function was also useful for understanding the adsorption relationship between target molecules and polymer films. The drug release of SLD-imprinted polymer films followed the Fickian diffusion mechanism, whereas the drug release using artificial skin followed the non-Fickian diffusion behavior.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of metacognitive instruction model on the changes of science concepts, when it was applied to 6th grade students. To do this, students were tested with the achievement of molecules and molecular motion concepts and metacognitive self-regulation test as a pretest Based upon metacognitive instruction model and student's conception, instruction program were developed. This metacognitive strategy Program was applied to the experimental group and expository teaching was applied to the comparison group (followed the order and method in authorized science textbook and teachers handbook). When planned lessons were finished, students were given a post-test to find conceptual change. After six months students were given a test again to find retention effect. There was a significant difference in conceptual change and retention between comparison group and experimental group by treatment at p< .05 level, The difference between comparison group and experimental group was especially significant, when the situation of test item wasn't similar to that of the textbook Metacognitive instruction model was more effective to high group than low group in metacognitive self-regulation level on conceptual change and retention. So the metacognitive strategy Played an important role in conceptual change and retention. And we can recognize that the students who take part in the metacognitive lesson can apply the corrected concept to the other concrete situation because they can understand new concept accurately by metacognitive strategies. And we can guess that high group in metacognitive self-regulation level can team metacognitive strategy easily but relatively low group student have some trouble in learning new strategy.

In this study, science teachers' perception and attitude toward nanotechnology are examined through questionnaires gathered from 134 secondary science teachers. As a result, the study shows that science teachers have high perceptiveness. However, they do not understand specific information on nanotechnology correctly. Science teachers have positive attitudes toward nanotechnology and they have perceived risks of nanotechnology as well as benefits of nanotechnology. Science teachers show positive attitudes toward the application of nanotechnology, whereas they show negative attitudes toward personal information chip and nano-taste enhancer. Science teachers are exposed to nanotechnology via various sources such as TV and internet, whereas teachers rarely get information on nanotechnology-related concepts in textbooks and teaching resources. Science teachers have perceived many textbooks do not introduce enough nanotechnology-related concepts. Many teachers try to explain the nanotechnology when textbooks include nanotechnology-related concepts, whereas quite a few of teachers do not introduce the nanotechnology-related concepts in class.

DNA microarray는 분자생물학에서 널리 사용되고 있는 실험 도구로써 크게 cDNA와 oligonucleotide microarray로 나뉘어진다. DNA microarray는 일련의 DNA 서열로 이루어진 probe들의 집합으로 구성되며 알려지지 않은 서열과의 hybridization 과정을 통해 특정 서열을 인식할 수 있게 된다. O1igonucieotide microarray는 cDNA 방법과는 다르게 probe를 구성하는 서열을 제작자가 임의로 구성할 수 있기 때문에 목표 서열이 가지는 고유한 부분만을 probe 서열로 사용함으로써 비용절감과 실험의 정확도를 높일 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 현재 목표 유전자 서열에 대해 probe 집합을 생성하는 결정적인 방법은 존재하지 않으며, 따라서 넓은 해 공간에서 효과적으로 최적 해를 찾아 주는 진화 연산이 probe 선택을 위한 좋은 대안으로 사용될 수 있다［1.2］. 그러나 진화연산을 이용한 probe 선택방법에 있어서 인식하고자 하는 목표 서열의 개수가 많아질 경우, 해 공간의 크기가 커짐으로 인해 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수의 목표 유전자 서열을 대상으로 한 probe 선택 방법에 일어서 보다 효율적인 진화연산 접근 방법을 소개한다. 제시된 방법은 인식하고자 하는 목표 서얼의 일부를 선택해 이를 probe 집합의 후보로 사용하며. 유전 연산자를 이용한 진화과정을 통해 최적에 가까운 probe 집합을 찾는다. 본 논문은 GenBank로부터 유전자 서열을 대상으로 제안된 방법을 실험하였으며, 축소된 목표 서열만을 이용해 probe 집합을 선택하더라도 적합한 probe 집합을 찾을 수 있었다.

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIPs) membranes were prepared by UV polymerization to separate racemates with opposite physiological activity, and then its separation selectivity of racemates was carried out. Likewise, their properties were examined. Polycarbonate (PC) membrane was polymerized as small spot form in pore inner wall, but anodisc (AD) membrane was polymerized as film form with thickness 500~700 nm onto the membrane surface. Also the study on the separation selectivity of prepared MIPs membranes was carried out in L-Tryptophane (Trp) racemate solution. The results showed that AD MIPs membrane polymerized as a film form, which was achieved by solution polymerizaion consisting of over 90% cross-linking agent (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; EGDMA) and under 30% dispersing agent (methanol; MeOH), had predominant 3.5 selectivity.

착상, 태반생성 및 임신 유지 등 생식과정에서 semi-allograft인 배아 및 태아가 생존하기 위해서는 모체 면역계의 면역관용이 요구된다. 면역관용은 분자 생물학적으로 염증반응과 항염증반응의 적절한 균형을 유지하는 인식되고 있으며, 생식과정에서 모체 면역계의 T 림프구, 자연살해세포, 수지상 세포, 대식세포 등 여러 면역세포의 유기적인 협조하에 이루어진다. 면역세포들은 특정 항원 및 사이토카인의 자극에 따라 정반대의 성질을 가진 사이토카인을 생산, 분비할 수 있는 특성을 가지고 있어 각각을 염증성 또는 항염증성 면역세포로 명확히 구분할 수 없으며 면역세포의 이러한 특성에 의해 생산 및 분비되는 사이토카인의 종류에 따라 Th0 형 (Th 0 cell, Tc 0 cell, NK 0 cell), Th1형 (Th 1 cell, Tc 1 cell, NK 1 cell), Th2 형 (Th 2 cell, Tc 2 cell, NK 2 cell), Th3 형 세포 (Th 3 cell, Tc 3 cell, NK 3 cell)로 분류하기도 한다. 즉, 착상 시기에 혈관신생 및 영양막의 자궁 내 침투를 위한 적절한 염증성 사이토카인(inflammatory cytokine)의 분비 및 임신의 지속을 위한 항염증성 (anti-inflammatory) 사이토카인의 분비 등 생식과정에서 수반되는 염증성과 항염증성 면역반응의 적절한 균형을 유지하는 기전은 특정 면역세포만의 작용으로 결론 지을 수 없으며 면역 세포간 network의 산물이라 할 수 있다 (Figure 5). 면역세포 중 최근 그 존재가 알려진 면역조절 T림프구 (T reg cell)는 여러 연구자들에 의해 면역관용에 관여함이 일관되게 보고되고 있어 자궁 내모체-태아간 접촉면에서 면역세포들 간의 network에 중추적인 역할을 할 것으로 인식되고 있으나 작용기전으로 제시되고 있는 가설들을 뒷받침 할 만한 객관적인 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 고찰에서는 착상과 임신 유지 등 생식과정에 수반되는 면역세포 및 그 세포들의 작용기전중 T 림프구의 역할에 중점을 두고 그 분류 및 기능에 대해 정리해 보았다. 결론적으로 착상과 임신의 유지 등 생식과정에서 T 림프구는 면역관용과 거부에 적극적으로 작용하며 착상부전, 습관성유산 등 면역학적 병인이 유사한 생식장애 (poor reproductive performance)들의 발병에 중요한 역할을 하는 것은 의심할 여지가 없다. 하지만 향후 T 림프구 및 그와 연관된 면역세포들의 작용에 대한 확실한 분자학적 규명이 요구된다.
