아열대성 식물 4종 (문주란, Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum; 박달목서, Osmanthus insularis; 죽절초, Chloranthus glaber; 파초일엽, Asplenium antiquum)을 대상으로 자연 환경요인의 변화에 따른 엽록소형광을 분석하여 이들 식물의 활력도를 검토하였다. 여름철 일변화에 있어서 양지에 자라는 문주란과 박달목서는 Fv/Fm이 새벽과 밤에는 0.80~0.83 범위의 높은 값을 보이지만, 낮시간에는 0.65~0.73으로 낮았다. 1-qN과 1-qP도 낮시간에 크게 낮아졌다. 음지에 자라는 죽절초와 파초일엽의 Fv/Fm은 높아서 0.83~0.85 범위를 유지하였으며 일변화적 특성은 관찰되지 않았다. 1-qP의 변화는 거의 관찰되지 않았으나 1-qN이 낮시간에 다소 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 죽절초와 파초일엽에서는 광억제가 거의 일어나지 않으나 문주란과 박달목서에서는 낮시간의 고광에 의한 광억제가 나타난다. 하지만 여기에너지의 일부를 열의 형태로 방출하여 광피해를 완화시키고 있는 것으로 보인다. 겨울철에는 Fv/Fm이 모든 종에서 0.8 이하의 값을 나타내었는데, 특히 문주란의 Fv/Fm 값은 다른 3종 보다 더 낮았다. 그리고 모든 종에서 일변화적인 특성은 관찰되지 않았다. 문주란의 1-qN은 낮시간에 다소 감소하였지만, 나머지 3종의 식물은 높은 값을 나타내었다. 그리고 l-qP는 문주란과 박달목서에서는 낮시간에 0.6 범위로 낮아졌다. 이는 종에 따라 차이가 있지만 겨울철 저온의 영향을 받은 결과로 보인다. 한편, 여름철 문주란과 박달목서의 O-J-I-P곡선은 거의 유사하며 낮에 뚜렷하게 낮았고, 죽절초와 파초일엽에서는 일변화적 특성은 두드러지지 않았다. 그리고 P $I_{NO}$ 와 SF $I_{NO}$ 가 죽절초를 제외한 3종에서 여름철 낮시간에 증가하였다. 겨울철의 O-J-I-P곡선은 모든 종에서 낮시간에 다소 낮아지지만 큰 변화는 없었다. 그리고, 문주란, 박달목서, 파초일엽에서 $\psi$o/(1-$\psi$o)가 낮시간에 다소 증가하였다. 이로부터 P $I_{NO}$ , SF $I_{NO}$ , $\psi$o/(1-$\psi$o)등의 변수는 식물의 활력도를 검정하는 지표로 활용될 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있다.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is an important molecular cytogenetics technique that maps abnormal copy number of specific DNA sequence of the chromosome. CGH is based on quantitative digital image analysis of ratio images from fluorescently labeled chromosomes. In this paper, we would like to introduce how recently developed image analysis algorithms are used for CGH techniques. To average the ratio profile of each chromosome, binarization, skeletonization, and stretching of chromosome images have been studied. Developed algorithms have been implemented in the karyotyping system ChIPS commercially developed at Biomedlab Co. Ltd.

Microfluidic preconcentration technologies, which collect or extract low-abundance analytes in a specific location, have been spotlighted in various applications such as medical and bio-engineering. Here, we conducted extensive studies on the variables to be considered when concentrating target samples based on electrophoresis in an electromembrane system utilizing an ion exchange membrane. Using negatively charged Alexa Fluor 488 and positively charged Rhodamine 6G as fluorescent dyes, we examined the effects of flow velocity of the main channel, channel electrolyte concentration, and applied voltage on sample preconcentration. As a result, it was found that the preconcentration of the target sample occurs much better when the flow velocity is slow and the concentration of the main channel containing the sample is high, given that the channel concentration ratio (main and buffer) is constant. In addition, based on the experimental data acquired in this study, the electrophoretic mobility values of Alexa Fluor 488 and Rhodamine 6G were experimentally calculated and compared.

Background: Predicting the important role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression on the acute ischemia-reperfusion injury, we set out to demonstrate it by assessing the degree of expression of ICAM-1 after warm ischemia-reperfusion in canine unilateral lung ischemia model. Material and Method: Left unilateral lung ischemia was induced by clamping the left hilum for 100 minutes in seven adult mongrel dogs. After reperfusion, various hemodynamic pararmeters and blood gases were analyzed for 4 hours, while intermittently clamping the right hilum in order to allow observation of the injured Ieft lung function. The pulmonary venous blood was collected serially to measure TNF- and cICAM-1 level. After 4 hours of reperfusion, the lung tissue was biopsied to assess cICAM-1 expression, and to measure tissue malondialdehyde(MDA) and ATP level. Result: The parameters including arterial oxygen partial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance and tissue MDA and ATP level suggested severe lung damage. Serum TNF-$\alpha$ level was 8.76$\pm$2.37 ng/ml at 60 minutes after reperfusion and decreased thereafter. The cICAM-1 level showed no change after the reperfusion during the experiment. The tissue cICAM-1 expression was confirmed in 5 dogs. Conclusion: The increase of TNF-$\alpha$ Ievel and expression of tissue ICAM-1 were demonstrated after ischemia reperfusion injury in canine lung model.

The purpose of this in vivo study was to assess the clinical screening performance of a quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) device in detecting proximal caries in primary molars. Fluorescence loss, red autofluorescence and a simplified QLF score for proximal caries (QS-proximal) were evaluated for their validity in detecting proximal caries in primary molars compared to bitewing radiography. Three hundred and forty-four primary molar surfaces were included in the study. Carious lesions were scored according to lesion severity assessed by visual-tactile and radiographic examinations. The QLF images were analyzed for two quantitative parameters, fluorescence loss and red autofluorescence, as well as for QS-proximal. For both quantitative parameters and QS-proximal, the sensitivity, specificity and area under receiver operating curve (AUROC) were calculated as a function of the radiographic scoring index at enamel and dentin caries levels. Both quantitative parameters showed fair AUROC values for detecting dentine level caries (△F = 0.794, △R = 0.750). QS-proximal showed higher AUROC values (0.757 - 0.769) than that of visual-tactile scores (0.653) in detecting dentine level caries. The QLF device showed fair screening performance in detecting proximal caries in primary molars compared to bitewing radiography.

Benthic diatoms are very important primary producers in understanding estuary ecosystems and their productions are largely varied by their photo-physiological characteristics. The short-term effects of increased temperature on the photosynthetic and photo-physiological characteristics of cultured different species of benthic diatoms (Navicula sp., Nitzschia sp., Cylindrotheca closterium, and Pleurosigma elongatum) were investigated by measuring their PSII-fluorescence kinetics using a Diving-PAM. Photosynthesis versus irradiance curves were measured every two hours at six different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and $35^{\circ}C$) for twenty-four hour. The effective quantum yield of PSII ($\Phi_{PSII}$) for most of the species showed a decreasing trend with increased temperature. The relative maximum electron transport rate (rETRmax) was significantly increased up to the optimum temperature level and then sharply decreased. Relative to the values of other parameters, the maximum light use coefficient ($\alpha$) was not substantially changed at lower temperature levels (<$30^{\circ}C$) but significantly decreased only at higher temperatures (30 and $35^{\circ}C$). The light saturation coefficient ($E_K$) mirrored the rETRmax temperature response. In regards to the temperature acclimation abilities of the four species with time, Navicula sp. and C. closterium acclimated to short-term changes in temperature through their photo-physiological adjustments.

Direct solid analysis of various kinds of metal samples has been conducted by glow discharge. In this laboratory, the gas-jet assisted glow discharge(GJGD) device has been developed and characterized. The effect of changes in applied current, cell pressure and flow rate on atomic emission signals obtained from a jet-assisted cathodic sputtering was investigate. The emission intensities of Cu, Zn, and Ar were measured. They were increased with the current. But the intensities were decreased by increasing the flow rate of argon due to the diffusion and transportation of particles into plasma. By increasing the pressure of the cell, the intensities were greatly decreased because of enhancement of redeposition onto the surface of the sample.

Spatial estimation of geoscience data (geo-data) is challenging due to spatial heterogeneity, data scarcity, and high dimensionality. A novel spatial estimation method is needed to consider the characteristics of geo-data. In this study, we proposed the application of Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) among machine learning algorithms with multivariate data for robust spatial predictions. The performance of the proposed approach was tested through soil chemical concentration data from a former smelting area. The concentrations of As and Pb determined by ex-situ ICP-AES were the primary variables to be interpolated, while the other metal concentrations by ICP-AES and all data determined by in-situ portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) were used as auxiliary variables in GMM and ordinary cokriging (OCK). Among the multidimensional auxiliary variables, important variables were selected using a variable selection method based on the random forest. The results of GMM with important multivariate auxiliary data decreased the root mean-squared error (RMSE) down to 0.11 for As and 0.33 for Pb and increased the correlations (r) up to 0.31 for As and 0.46 for Pb compared to those from ordinary kriging and OCK using univariate or bivariate data. The use of GMM improved the performance of spatial interpretation of anthropogenic metals in soil. The multivariate spatial approach can be applied to understand complex and heterogeneous geological and geochemical features.

반도체 및 디스플레이 소자 제조를 위한 진공 플라즈마는 다양한 공정 조건하에서 다양한 공정 가스의 물리화학적 반응에 의한 박막의 형석 및 식각 반응을 유도한다. 실 공정 하에서 기체 성분의 환경 조건에 의하여 박막층 및 식각 구조 형성에 심각한 영향이 발생할 수 있으며, 공정 조건에서 기체 압력을 완벽하게 컨트롤 하는 것은 현실상 불가능하므로 기체 부분압력이 실시간으로 반드시 모니터링 되고 이를 피드백으로 하여 압력 변수가 조정되어야 완벽하게 공정을 제어할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 현장에서 플라즈마 공정을 실시간 in-situ 모니터링 할 수 있는 다양한 진단 방법이 도입되고 있으며 접촉신 진단 방법은 플라즈마와 섭동으로 인한 교란을 유발하고, 이온에너지 측정의 한계가 존재하며 비접촉식 방법 중의 하나인 유도형광법(LIF)은 측정 물질의 제한으로 인하여 플라즈마 내에 존재하는 다양한 가스 종의 거동을 살필 수 없는 등 현실 적용 측면에서 실 공정에 적용하는데 단점이 존재한다. 공정 상태 및 RF에 의한 영향을 주고받지 않고, 민감한 공정 변화의 감지 및 혼합가스를 사용하는 실시간 공정 진단을 위하여 비접촉 광학 측정 방식인 발광 분광 분석법(optical emission spectroscopy, OES)이 각광받고 있으며, 본 강습에서는 분광학의 기본 개념 및 OES를 이용한 진공 플라즈마 진단 방법에 관한 전반적인 개요를 설명하도록 한다
