The Avatar robot, which is one of the teleoperation robots, aims to enable users to feel the robot as a part of the body to intuitively and naturally perform various tasks. Considering the purpose of the avatar robot, an end-effector identical to a human hand is advantageous, but a robotic hand with human hand level performance has not yet been developed. In this paper we propose a new 3-finger robotic hand with human-avatar hand posture mapping algorithm which were integrated with TOCABI-AVATAR, one of the teleoperation system. Due to the flexible rolling contact joints and tendon driven mechanism applied to the finger, the finger could implement adaptive grasping and absorb the impact force caused by unexpected contacts. In addition, human-avatar hand mapping algorithm using five calibration hand postures propose to compensate physical differences between operators. Using the TOCABI-AVATAR system with the robotic hands and mapping algorithm, the operator can perform 13 out of 16 hand postures of grasping taxonomy and 4 gestures. In addition, using the system, we participated in the ANA AVATAR XPRIZE Semi-final and successfully performed three scenarios which including various social interactions as well as object manipulation.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a microvascular thrombotic lesion caused by endothelial injury and subsequent formation of platelet rich thrombus. TMA is first described as a classical pathologic feature of HUS/TTP. Renal biopsy finding of TMA represents kidney involvement of HUS/TTP as well as other diseases such as malignant hypertension, drug toxicity, eclampsia, pre-eclampsia, and several systemic infections. Autoimmune diseases and transplant kidney sometime also have TMA. It is needed to consider a complete autoimmune work-up of patients presenting with TMA including tests for ANA, ANCA, and ADAMTS13 inhibitory antibodies, because there are several reports of association with TMA in patients of SLE, anti-phospholipid syndrome, and ANCA-associated vasculitis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the marital satisfaction and family strengths among 134 commuting couples (268 individuals) living in Korea, who have been commuting for at least six months. The major findings obtained from this study are summarized as follows: 1) The degree of marital satisfaction of the husband and wife in commuting couples was 5.12 and 4.96, respectively, on a scale of 0-7.0. The important factors of marital satisfaction in the husband were the number of children, self-esteem and the degree of coping strategy, whereas for the wife they were the educational degree, kind of job, self-esteem and degree of coping strategy. 2) The degree of family strengths of husband and wife in commuting couples was 3.75 and 3.77, respectively, on a scale 0-5.0. The significant factors of the family strengths in the husband were relied on the person who moved, meeting cycle of conjugal, conjugal periods, self-esteem and the degree of coping strategy, whereas for the wife they were the educational degree, religion, kind of job, commuting periods, the person who moved, meeting cycle of conjugal, self-esteem and the degree of coping strategy. 3) There was a close correlation between the marital satisfaction and family strengths in the husband and wife of commuting couples.

Triploid rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were produced on a large scale practice by the application of moderate heat treatment in 1986. Triploid treatment of the fertilized eggs was carried out with heat shock at $27^{\circ}C$ for 10 to 14 minutes starting 10 minutes after insemination at $10^{\circ}C$. Estimated triploidy ranged from $45\%\;to\;57\%$ ana the incidence of triploidy slightly increased with the treatment time. No significant differences of growth rate were observed between triploidy and diploidy at the early stage of growth. This observation was consistent with results of other fish species and other reports on this species. This heat shock technique, expecting further improvement, should be useful in the mass production of sterile triploid rainbow trout.

We investigated the particularity of temperature and composition changes in $xNa_2O{\cdot}(52.5-x)B_2O_3{\cdot}47.5SiO_2$ glasses by use of FT-IR, $^{11}B$ NMR, Raman spectrometer. From FT-IR and $^{11}B$ NMR spectrometer, we thought that tetrahedral boron, $BO_4$ units are created $N_4$ increasing tendency generated near $600^{\circ}C$. It's expected that composition ana heat treatment directly contributed to structural changes, this changes are following to $Na_2O$ increasing or decreasing. caused by $N_4\;and\;BO_4$ units are caused by relatively increasing or decreasing in the glasses' structure. Particularly, $BO_4$ units are converted to $BO_3$ units after $600^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for 50h in the composition of $x<18(R<0.5,\;R=Na_2O/B_2O_3\;mol\%)$. On the order hand, $BO_3$ units are converted to, $BO_4$ units after $600^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for 50h in the composition of $x{\geq}18\;(R>0.5)$. This particularity of composition and temperature dependence of structural changes are similarly represented by Raman analysis results.

As the reutilizing method of exhausted screen, authors used it as a filter and compared with the aluminium filtration. The results are as followed; 1. One sheet of gadolinium front screen has the same radiation absorption as $2.8{\sim}3.3\;mm$ Al equivalent and regular tungsten screen $2.3{\sim}2.7mm$ Al. 2. HVL after Gd-screen filtration was less than the values after aluminium and tungsten-screen filtration. And, image definition with Gd-screen filtration was better than other two cases. Ana surface dose to produce a same film density was more than other two cases. It will be very useful to apply, Gd-screen filter in clinics as it has no deficiency of image quality.

To control the amounts of formaldehyde released from the cotton fabric finished with N-methylol compounds, glycerol was used as a formaldehyde-scavenging agent. It was observed the effects of catalysts and curing conditions when aftertreated with glycerol on melamine resin finished fabric. The effects of Different processes of glycerol treatment, and different resins, urea resin and melamine resin, were compared. The conclusions obtained from the results are as follows: 1) It was shown hatt the aftertreatment with glycerol (treated without catalyst) was more effective than treated with catalysts in controlling free formaldehyde. 2) The optimum curing temperature and curing time for the glycerol aftertreatment without adversely affecting the other properties of fabric was about $160^{\circ}C$, 3 min. 3) According to the increase of glycerol concentration in both aftertreatment and simultaneous treatment the amounts of free formaldehyde was reduced. The rate of decrease was manifest within the limits of $6\%$ in the case of simultaneous treatment with glycerol ana resins, and $3\%$ in the case of glycerol aftertreatment on resin finished fabrics. 4) Dry wrinkle recovery angle was decreased the increase of glycerol concentration. Melamine resin had a little adverse effect than urea resin, particulary glycerol aftertreatment. 5) The breaking strength was increased with the increase of glycerol concentration.

Functional gene studies in the cultivated white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus have been constrained by the absence of effective gene-silencing tools. Using two endogenous genes from A. bisporus, we have tested the utility of dsRNA hairpin constructs to mediate downregulation of specific genes. Hairpin constructs for genes encoding orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (URA3) and carboxin resistance (CBX) were introduced into A. bisporus using Agrobacteriummediated transfection. Although predicted changes in phenotype were not observed in vitro, quantitative-PCR analyses indicated unambiguously that transcripts in several transformants were substantially reduced compared with the non-transformed controls. Interestingly, some hairpin transformants exhibited increased transcription of target genes. Our observations show that hairpin transgenic sequences can mediate downregulation of A. bisporus endogenous genes and that the technology has the potential to expedite functional genomics of the mushroom.
