Since newly emerged disease, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), spread from Asia to North America and Europe rapidly in 2003, many researchers have tried to determine where the virus came from. In the phylogenetic point of view, SARS virus has been known to be one of the genus Coronavirus, but, the overall conservation of SARS virus sequence was not highly similar to that of known coronaviruses. The natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV are not clearly determined, yet. In the present study, the genomic sequences of SARS-CoV were analyzed by bioinformatics techniques such as multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis methods as well multivariate statistical analysis. All the calculating processes, including calculations of the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) and other genomic parameters using 30,305 coding sequences from the two genera, Coronavirus, and Lentivirus, and one family, Orthomyxoviridae, were performed on SMP cluster in KISTI, Supercomputing Center. As a result, SARS_CoV showed very similar RSCU patterns with feline coronavirus on the both axes of the correspondence analysis, and this result showed more agreeable results with serological results for SARS_CoV than that of phylogenetic result itself. In addition, SARS_CoV, human immunodeficiency virus, and influenza A virus commonly showed the very low RSCU differences among each synonymous codon group, and this low RSCU bias might provide some advantages for them to be transmitted from other species into human beings more successfully. Large-scale genomic analysis using bioinformatics techniques may be useful in genetic epidemiology field effectively.

THO/TREX complex plays an important role in transcriptional elongation, mRNA processing, nuclear RNA export, and genome stability. A fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, SPBC577.04 gene encoding the ortholog of THOC5, a component of THO/TREX complex, was identified and characterized. The S. pombe thoc5 (spthoc5) is not essential for both growth and mRNA export, but deletion of the spthoc5 gene caused growth defect and slight accumulation of $poly(A)^+$ RNA in the nucleus. And the functional spThoc5-GFP protein is localized mainly in the nucleus. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that the Hpr1(THOC1) protein, an evolutionally well-conserved component of THO/TREX complex, interacted with spThoc5 as well as Tho2(THOC2), another subunit of THO complex. These results suggest that S. pombe Thoc5 as a component of THO/TREX complex is also involved in mRNA export from the nucleus.

One large topic in comparative genomics is to predict functional annotation by classifying protein sequences. Computational approaches for function prediction include protein structure prediction, sequence alignment and domain prediction or binding site prediction. This paper is on another computational approach searching for sets of homologous sequences from sequence similarity graph. Methods based on similarity graph do not need previous knowledges about sequences, but largely depend on the researcher's subjective threshold settings. In this paper, we propose a genome sequence clustering method of iterative testing and graph decomposition, and a simple method to calculate a strict threshold having biochemical meaning. Proposed method was applied to known bacterial genome sequences and the result was shown with the BAG algorithm's. Result clusters are lacking some completeness, but the confidence level is very high and the method does not need user-defined thresholds.

Solanum demissum is one of the wild Solanum species originating from Mexico. It has wildly been used for potato breeding due to its resistance to Phytophthora infestans. S. demissum has an EBN value of four, which is same as that of S. tuberosum, so that it is directly crossable for breeding purposes with the cultivated tetraploid potato (S. tuberosum). In this study, the chloroplast genome sequence of S. demissum obtained by next-generation sequencing technology was described and compared with those of seven other Solanum species to develop S. demissum-specific markers. Thetotal sequence length of the chloroplast genome is 155,558 bp, and its structural organization is similar to those of other Solanum species. Phylogenetic analysis with ten other Solanaceae species revealed that S. demissum is most closely grouped with S. hougasii and S. stoloniferum followed by S. berthaultii and S. tuberosum. Additional comparison of the chloroplast genome sequence with those of seven other Solanum species revealed two InDels specific to S. demissum. Based on these InDels, two PCR-based markers for discriminating S. demissum from other Solanum species were developed. The results obtained in this study will provide an opportunity to investigate more detailed evolutionary and breeding aspects in Solanum species.

MgTiO$_3$와 ZnTiO$_3$ 같은 ilmenite형 세라믹스는 유용한 유전특성 때문에 MLCC와 RF/microwave 장치와 같은 유전체 세라믹 부품에 사용될 수 있다. 그러나, 이 두 ilmenite형 세라믹스는 저온에서 hexagonal 구조를 띄는 ilmenite 합성에서의 난점들 때문에 LTCC에 사용되기 어려운데, 본 연구에서는 ilmenite형 세라믹스의 합성을 개선시키는데 Mechanically Activated Syntheses법(이하 MAS법)을 이용했다. MAS법으로 합성온도를 낮출 수 있었고 원치 않는 2차상의 형성을 방지할 수 있었으며, LTCC에 이용될 수 있는 분말들의 소결온도를 95$0^{\circ}C$ 이하로 내릴 수 있었다. 또한, MAS법을 이용했을 때와 기존의 방법을 이용했을 때의 여러 특성들을 비교 분석했다.

현재 선진국에서는 전자기기에서 복사되는 전자파 및 이에 노출되었을 때의 내성에 대해서 동시에 규제하고 있다. 따라서 전자기기에서 사용하는 신호의 주파수가 점점 높아지고 회로가 집적화되므로 회로설계에 포함되지 않는 기생 소자의 영향도 연구되어져야 한다. 그러므로 이러한 조건을 모두 고려하여 초고주파 회로를 완전하게 설계제작할 수 있다면 이는 이상적인 기술이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 이것을 이루려면 많은 시간 동안의 연구와 분석을 통해 최종 생산물이 되기까지 대단한 노력이 요구된다. 본문에서는 초고주파 인쇄 회로 기판을 설계할 때 고려해야 할 점, 즉, 유전율 및 유전체의 두께, 소자 실장, 접지면 부착 및 회로의 패키지화에 관해서 소개하고자 한다.

A novel optical coupling filter with finite-thickness metal-strip gratings printed on optical planar dielectric slabs is proposed, and Bragg conditions of the device are rigorously evaluated by using Modal Transmission-Line Theory (MTLT). The numerical results reveal that the guiding structures have filtering properties due to a leaky-wave stop-band while conventional DFB guiding structures consisted of dielectric gratings depend on a feedback-wave stop-band. Consequently, it shows that the optical coupling titter dependent on the leaky-wave filtering characteristics can be compounded of such optical devices as LD and optical fiber.

직접 회로의 소자크기가 더욱 미세화에 따라, 기존에 사용하는 금속 배선의 저항과 금속 배선과 층간 유전 물질에 의한 정전용량의 증가로 인한 시간 지연 (RC time delay) 문제가 크게 대두되고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 비유전율이 낮은 물질을 층간 유전체로 사용하여 정전용량을 낮추는 것이 필요하다. 기존의 실리콘 산호막 대신에 MSSQ(methylsilsequioxance)를 이용할 때 필요한 건식 식각 공정을 연구하였다. MSSQ 물질을 patterning 하기 위해 습식 공정의 부산물인 폐액 등의 문제점이 발생하지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 소자의 손상이 적고 선택비가 높으며, 식각의 이방성을 향상시킬 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있는 반응 이온 식각기(reactive ion etchin)을 이용하였다. CF4/O2 plasma를 사용하였는데, 가스의 양의 flow rate와 조성비, RF pover(50, 100, 150 W)등의 변화에 따른 식각 특성을 알아보았다. atep, SEM, AFM등을 이용하여 측정·분석하였다.
