비정상(unsteady) 압축성(compressible) 유동에 의한 공력음향(aeroacoustics)을 모사하여 공력소음원을 해석하기 위해서는 고차(high order)의 정확도와 높은 해상도(resolution)를 가지며, 상대적으로 계산시간을 많이 필요로 하지 않는 외재적(explicit) 유한차분법이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이것은 주어진 차분방식과 격자계로써 공간과 시간상에 존재하는 미소크기의 파동성분들을 충분히 구현하여야 만족할 만한 수치해를 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는, 그러한 유한차분법 중 최근에 관심의 대상이 되고있는 삼각(tridiagonal)또는 오각(pentadiagonal) 집적유한차분법(compact finite difference scheme)이 최대의 해상도를 갖도록 하는 수학적인 방법을 개발하고, 이 방법으로써 새롭게 집적유한차분법을 최적화하였다. 개발된 최적화 방법은, 푸리에 해석법(Fourier analysis)을 통하여 파동수(wavenumber) 영역에서 수학적으로 계산된 위상오차(phase error)를 최소화하는 것이며, 이러한 개념과 방법은 본 연구에서 처음으로 집적유한차분법에 적용되었다. 여러가지 절단정확도(truncation order)에 대해서 최적화 된 집적유한차분법들이 실제 공간과 시간상에서 보여주는 정확도와 오차특성을 알아보기 위하여, 이 방법들을 1차원 선형파동방정식에 적용하였고, 이 결과를 통하여 가장 정확하고 효과적인 절단정확도의 집적유한차분법을 선별하였다. 특히, 오각(pentadiagonal)법에 비해 더욱 효율적인 6차 삼각(tridiagonal)법을 1차원 Euler방정식에 적용하여, 비선형 파동에 대한 모사를 수행할 수 있었다.

저온 고압의 환경에서 안정한 하이드레이트 함유 퇴적물 연구를 위하여 현장의 압력을 유지하여 코어를 회수할 수 있는 압력 코어러 (Pressure Corer)가 개발된 이후로 다양한 방법으로 압력코어를 이용한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하이드레이트의 안정영역 특성상 일반 코어러 샘플에서는 하이드레이트 함유 퇴적물의 회수가 용이하지 않았던 이유로 압력코어샘플응 이용한 현장 하이드레이트 함유 퇴적물의 연구는 필수적이다. 초기 단계에서는 압력코어를 이용한 비파괴 검사와 단순 감압 시험이 이루어졌다. 비파괴 검사를 통하여서는 X-ray 단면, 감마 밀도 (gamma density), 음파 속도 등이 측정 되었으며 감암 시험을 통하여서는 시료 내 하이드레이트 함유량을 산정하였다. 감압 후 다양한 지화학 분석이 후행되었다. 가스 하이드레이트 함유 퇴적물의 물성과 생산 거동이 점차 부각됨에 따라 압력코어 시료를 순간 감압하여 액체 질소에 보관하였다가 압밀시험, 삼축 압축 시험 등 물성 시험이 수행되었으며 수행 동안 X-ray 단면, 비저항, 음파 속도 등의 물성측정이 이루어졌다. 또한 액체 질소 보관 시료를 이용하여 감압법, 열염수 주입법, 열자극 법 등을 적용하여 생산 실험을 수행하기도 하였다. 이후에 압력코어 시료 절단 및 이동 시스템이 개발됨에 따라 보다 다양하고 많은 연구자 들이 압력코어 시료를 이용할 수 있게 되었으며 물성 연구뿐만 아니라 미생물 연구에 까지 압력코어 시료가 사용되게 되었다. 최근에는 절단 시료를 이용한 생산 실험 연구 또한 진행되었다.

By employing vane tip concept, a new rotor blade (NRSB-I) has been designed to enhance the noise characteristics of BERP blade. Numerical analyses have been performed for hovering rotor and the results are compared with respect to those of original BERP blade. Although the thrust of designed rotor decreases by 6-7% due to cutout at the tip region, the results indicate that the actual performance loss is negligible because power reduction is greater than thrust loss. It is also found that aerodynamic fence is required at the outboard kink to obtain clearly separated twin-vortices because the vortex generated at kink is diffused during the convection over the blade surface.

EBSD(Electron BackScattered Diffraction)분석은 주사전자현미경에서 관찰되는 비교적 넓은 영역의 결정 방위를 측정하여 집합조직을 해석하는 동시에 결정 방위의 변화를 기준으로 결정립계를 구분 지어 미세조직의 정량 분석도 가능하기 때문에 많은 연구자들이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 EBSD의 Kikuchi 패턴은 시편 표면으로부터 30~50nm 깊이 범위의 표면층으로부터 방출되기 때문에 EBSD 분석 결과는 시편의 표면 처리 상태에 크게 영향을 받아 적절한 시편준비법이 요구된다. 시편 준비 과정 중에 생기는 변형층, 산화층이나 오염층이 10nm 이내로 제어되지 못하면 명확한 패턴을 얻지 못하여 분석이 어려운 경우가 많으므로, 시료의 절단과 연마 과정 중에 변형층을 되도록 적게 만들고 표면의 산화나 오염을 최대한 방지해야 한다. 또한 EBSD 분석 특성상 시편을 70도로 기울이기 때문에 시편의 요철이 심하면 볼록한 영역에 의해 오목한 영역의 패턴이 가려져 결정방위 정보를 얻기 힘들다. 이런 이유로 시편을 최대한 평평하게 하고 요철이 생기지 않게 시편 준비를 하는 것이 관건이다. 금속재료의 EBSD 시편준비법으로는 일반적으로 기계적 연마법과 전해연마법이 주로 쓰인다. 경한 석출물이나 개재물이 연한 기지에 분산되어 있는 시편이나 이종 소재 접합재의 경우는 전해연마법을 사용하면 특정 상(혹은 합금)이 먼저 연마되어 큰 단차가 생기거나 석출물에 의해 요철이 심해져서 정량적인 EBSD 분석이 어렵게 된다. 이 연구에서는 시편 준비가 어렵다고 알려진 다상 금속재료에서의 EBSD 분석 사례를 소개한다. Ti-6Al-4Fe-0.25Si 시효처리합금, 알루미늄 기지 복합재료, 마찰교반용접한 알루미늄-타이타늄합금의 EBSD 시편준비법과 그 분석 결과를 고찰한다.

In anatomical aspects, magnetic resonance image offers more accurate information than other medical images such as X ray ultrasonic and CT images. This paper introduces a method that recognizes disk diseases from spine MR images. In this method, image enhancement, image segmentation and feature extraction for sagittal plane and axial plane images are performed to separate the disk region. And then template matching method is used to extract disease region for axial plane imges. Finally, disease feature vectors are integrated and disease discrimination processes are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method discriminates between normal and diseased disk with a considerable recognition ratio.

There are two conserved regions with a significantly high amino acid sequence homology among the A subunits of STX, SLTs and ricin. To produce an inactive Verotoxin-2 (VT-2), two different mutants, pE167D and pDE5A, were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis, respectively, on the basis of the previous reports that two regions lie within the active-site clefts of the A subunits of ricin and STX family. The cytotoxicity ($10^3$ $CD_{50}/ml$) of VT-2 holotoxin with E167D mutation was reduced by $10^3$-fold compared with wild-type level. In addition, VT-2 with DE5A ($Trp_{202}GlyArgIleSer_{206}$) deletion mutation showed a significantly low cytotoxicity ($10^1$ $CD_{50}/ml$), resulting in $10^5$- and $10^2$-fold reductions, respectively, compared with the wild-type and E167D mutatant. SDS-PAGE for protein samples showed a 33-kDa band corresponding to the A subunit of VT-2. These results indicate that reduction in cytotoxic activity was affected not by amount of VT-2 protein produced but by mutation.

In this paper, the 1-level DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) coefficients of a binary logo image are used as the watermark. The watermark should be inserted in the same band which is equivalent to the host image when the watermark is inserted in the wavelet domain. This is the image fusion of the proposed watermarking method. The watermark is inserted in relatively significant coefficients after the insertion area is defined. The more significant coefficients have the important information because they are identified as the edge and major surface in images. The significant coefficients are defined when their absolute value exceeds the threshold. The standard deviation is used as the weight value of watermark insertion in order to strengthen the weight of the watermark insertion according to the value of the coefficients. The proposed watermarking method is an adaptive scheme, and the proposed two detection algorithms can be adaptively used when the watermarked image is distorted by cropping, filtering, or compression.

We considered KIT gene as a candidate gene for the white-spotting pattern in cattle. This study was carried out to detect genetic variation of c-KIT receptor gene and to investigate association between the mutation and the white-spotting pattern in cattle. PCR-RFLP analysis within intron 6 of c-KIT receptor gene were performed with 8 cattle breeds including Hanwoo, Angus, Brown Swiss, Charolais, Hereford, Holstein, Limousin and Simmental. When PCR product of approximately 2,440 bp including intron 6 of c-KIT receptor gene was sequenced, four nucleotide substitutions were found within intron 6 of the bovine c-KIT receptor gene. In PCR-RFLP analysis, three alleles (A, B and C), two alleles (A and B) and two alleles (A and B) at each locus were identified by MspⅠ, BsrBⅠ and NdeⅠ, respectively. Although frequencies of allele at each locus were different among cattle breeds, we could not get any evidence related with white or white spotting phenotypes in these mutations on intron 6 of c-KIT receptor gene. However, we can not entirely exclude the possibility that c-KIT receptor gene is responsible for white spotting phenotype in cattle. Thus, further studies need to detect other mutations in c-KIT receptor gene and to test association of those mutations and coat color phenotypes in cattle.

It is essential for living donor liver transplantation that surgeon must understand the hepatic vessel structure to improve the success rate of operation. In this paper, we extract the liver boundary without other surrounding structures such as heart, stomach, and spleen using the contrast enhanced MDCT liver image sequence. After that, we extract the major hepatic veins (left, middle, right hepatic vein) with morphological filter after review the basic structure of hepatic vessel which reside in segmented liver image region. The purpose of this study is provide the overall status of transplantation operation with size estimation of resection part which is dissected along with the middle hepatic vein. The method of liver extraction is as follows: firstly, we get rid of background and muscle layer with gray level distribution ratio from sampling process. secondly, the coincident images match with unit mesh image are unified with resulted image using the corse coordinate of liver and body. thirdly, we extract the final liver image after expanding and region filling. Using the segmented liver images, we extract the hepatic vessels with morphological filter and reversed the major hepatic vessels only with a results of ascending order of vessel size. The 3D reconstructed views of hepatic vessel are generated after applying the interpolation to provide the smooth view. These 3D view are used to estimate the dissection line after identify the middle hepatic vein. Finally, the volume of resection region is calculated and we can identify the possibility of successful transplantation operation.

Pre-storage ultra-violet (UV) light treatment on fresh produce is known to inactivate the contaminated microorganisms, activate the defense system, and delay ripening extending the shelf life. As UV light emitting diode (LED) becomes available at a relatively low price, continuous or intermittent UV treatment during chilled storage is possible in a container or package. This study attempted an in situ UV LED treatment on fresh produce stored under a refrigerated container in order to see its potential in the fresh produce storage and further optimize its application conditions. The effect of in-container UV LED irradiation on the quality preservation of shredded carrots was investigated in the air and modified atmosphere (MA) conditions. Two sets of experiment with Escherichia coli inoculation and with natural microbial flora in the air (two 30 minute on-off cycles of 1 $diode/dm^2$ per day at a location above 2 cm) showed a clear and significant effect of the UV LED irradiation on the suppression of microbial growth: 280 nm was the most effective by maintaining a lower microbial count by at least 0.5 log (CFU/g) throughout the 6 day storage period. The carotenoids content of shredded carrots subjected to UV LED treatment at 365 and 405 nm in the air was higher than that of the control shredded carrots. In MA condition of $O_2$ of 1.2~4.3% and $CO_2$ of 8.4~10.6% being indifferent with LED wavelengths, 280 nm UV LED irradiation was also effective in inhibiting the microbial growth. While there was no observed difference in the carotenoids content between untreated and UV LED-treated shredded carrots in MA, UV LED irradiation at 365 and 405 nm was slightly better in DPPH radical scavenging activity. The use of UV LED in storage container or package seems to give the benefits of preserving the microbial and nutritional qualities of minimally processed fruits and vegetables.
