This experiment was conducted to possibility for leaf production of wasabi using hydroponics system. When they were grown in aeroponics and soiless culture such as saprolite and Coir, photosynthesis and transpiration rate were high and marketable yield $(leaf\;width\;11{\sim}13cm)$ showed $11.2{\sim}11.7$ of leaf number per plant and $52{\sim}53.8g$ fresh weight. In spring periods, the highest yield was 25.7 of leaf number per plant in nutrient solution of Yamasaki's solution developed in Japan in deep culture during 130 days. It showed be possibility that marketable leaves harvested one leaf every $2{\sim}4$ days though spring and fall culture periods using hydroponics controlled in environmental culture.

The activated sludge from the aeration basin of the Su-yeong municipal wastewater treatment plant which has operated by a standard activated sludge process in Busan, Korea was investigated during April 2004 and January 2005 with several bio-indicators. The number of bacteria and fungi per gram of dry weight of MLSS were estimated to be $3.1\times10^6\sim1.5\times10^8\;and\;l.1\times10^3\sim1.1\times10^5$ colony forming units, respectively, by the plate agar method. By cultivation-independent methods, such as 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole stain and fluorescence in situ hybridization, the ratio of eubacteria to the entire biomass was evaluated by more than $80\%$ (v/v). The ratio of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria to the total eubacteria was detennined to be $7.0\sim9.8\%\;and\;3.3\sim6.2\%$ without heavy variation in spite of a period of relatively low temperature in the basin. It would be expected that the nitrification would occur or at least co-exist throughout the year in the sludge of many municipal WWTP with influents that contain the sufficient nitrogen sources although the WWTP does not have any specialized processes for the removal of nitrogen.

Imported Valencia oranges were evaluated to determine the relationship between the fruit size and its quality. The orange size was classified into three groups on a commercial basis: small ($140{\sim}160g/113{\pm}5$ fruit/box), medium ($190{\sim}220g/88{\pm}5$ fruit/box), and large ($250{\sim}280g/72{\pm}5$ fruit/box). The physicochemical and sensory properties were analyzed to evaluate the orange quality. No significant difference in the peel thickness and flesh ratio was detected across the fruit sizes. The juice yield of the medium-sized orange and the TSS/TA ratios of the medium-sized and large oranges showed the highest value, respectively (p<0.05). The large orange had the highest vitamin C content, which was positively correlated with both its DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging abilities (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation of the fruits and their juice, the scores for sourness and overall preference were significantly higher in the medium-sized and large oranges than in the small ones. The total soluble solids, total acidity, TSS/TA ratio, and reducing sugar content were significantly related to the sensory properties. Finally, the quality and sensory properties were considered superior in the medium-sized and lager Valencia oranges. Further studies on the effects of the variety and origin of Valencia oranges on their quality and sensory properties are required.

Sometimes the problem occurs that a paper knob and a thread attached to a tea bag fall into tea water in pouring tea water into a conventional cup to extract bag type tea. A new cup was developed to solve that problem, which was formed with a thread groove(dia. ; about $1.5{\sim}2\;mm$, hight ; about $4{\sim}5\;mm$) in the upper end of the cup. As a result, the new cup with a thread groove is expected that a paper knob with a thread does not fall into tea water. In addition, the size of a paper knob and the length of a thread may be reduced 70%, respectively.

Purpose: This study reports the clinical results of the arthroscopic repair of type V SLAP lesion with bio-knotless anchor. Materials and Methods: 10 cases of 10 patients (10 male) were included in this study. The average age was 32.7 years old and the period from the first injury to operation was average 47.2 months. Preoperative Rowe score was average 37.5. Arthroscopic SLAP repair with 1 or 2 bio-knotless anchors were performed and arthroscopic Bankart repair with bio-knotless anchors were performed in all cases; 3 anchors were used in 7 cases and 2 anchors in 3 cases. The average follow up period was 15.7 months. Results: The Rowe score improved to 93 at last follow up period and 8 cases had full range of motion of the shoulder. 2 case had mild limited range of motion of the shoulder (one case; 170 degrees in flexion, 60 degrees in external rotation and T12 level in internal rotation, the other case; 160 degrees in flexion, 45 degrees in external rotation and T12 level in internal rotation.) without any problem in normal activity. Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair with bio-knotless anchor in type V SLAP lesion is one of the good methods because of the good clinical results.

A bioequivalence study of $Nimegen^{TM}$ soft capsule (Medica Korea Pharma. Co., Ltd.) to $RoAccutane^{(R)}$ soft capsule (Roche Korea Ind. Co., Ltd.) was conducted according to the guidelines of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Thirty healthy male Korean volunteers received each medicine at the isotretinoin dose of 60 mg in a $2{\times}2$ crossover study. There was one week wash-out period between the doses. Plasma concentrations of isotretinoin were monitored by a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for over a period of 48 hours after drug administration. $AUC_t$ (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 48 hr) was calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule method. $C_{MAX}$ (maximum plasma drug concentration) and $T_{MAX}$ (time to reach $C_{MAX}$) were compiled from the plasma concentration-time data. Analysis of variance was carried out using logarithmically transformed $AUC_t\;and\;C_{MAX}$. No significant sequence effect was found for all of the bioavailability parameters indicating that the crossover design was properly performed. The 90% confidence intervals of the $AUC_t$ ratio and the $C_{MAX}$ ratio for $Nimegen^{TM}/RoAccutane^{(R)}$ were $log0.860{\sim}log0.98\;and\;log0.85{\sim}log1.00$, respectively. These values were within the acceptable bioequivalence intervals of $log0.80{\sim}log1.25$. Thus, our study demonstrated the bioequivalence of $Nimegen^{TM}\;and\;RoAccutane^{(R)}$ with respect to the rate and extent of absorption.

현대사회의 시설물 중 다수가 콘크리트를 사용하여 건설되었고, 재료적 성질로 인해 균열, 박락, 백태 등의 손상이 발생하고 있고 시설물 관리가 요구되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 시설물 관리는 사람의 육안 점검을 정기적으로 수행하고 있으나, 높은 시설물이나 맨눈으로 확인할 수 없는 시설물의 경우 관리가 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 다양한 영상장비를 활용해 시설물의 이미지에서 균열을 분류하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 균열 분류 알고리즘은 산업 이상 감지 데이터 세트인 MVTec AD 데이터 세트를 사전 학습하고 L2 auto-encoder를 사용하여 균열을 분류한다. MVTec AD 데이터 세트를 사전학습시킴으로써 균열, 박락, 백태 등의 특징을 학습시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

오늘날 인공지능(Artificial Intelligence, AI) 분야에서 가장 구현하기 어려운 분야 중 하나는 추론이다. 근래 추론 분야에서 영상과 언어가 결합한 다중 모드(Multi-modal) 환경에서 영상 기반의 질의 응답(Visual Question Answering, VQA) 과업에 대한 AI 모델이 발표됐다. 얼마 지나지 않아 VQA 모델의 성능을 개선한 GVQA(Grounded Visual Question Answering) 모델도 발표됐다. 하지만 아직 GVQA 모델도 완벽한 성능을 내진 못한다. 본 논문에서는 GVQA 모델의 성능 개선을 위해 VCC(Visual Concept Classifier) 모델을 ViT-G(Vision Transformer-Giant)/14로 변경하고, ACP(Answer Cluster Predictor) 모델을 GPT(Generative Pretrained Transformer)-3으로 변경한다. 이와 같은 방법들은 성능을 개선하는 데 큰 도움이 될 수 있다고 사료된다.

초해상이란 해상도가 낮은 영상을 해상도가 높은 영상으로 합성하는 기술이다. 딥러닝은 영상의 해상도를 높이는 초해상 기술에도 응용되며 실현은 2아4년에 발표된 SRCNN(Super Resolution Convolutional Neural Network) 모델로부터 시작됐다. 이후 오토인코더 (Autoencoders) 구조로는 SRCAE(Super Resolution Convolutional Autoencoders), 합성된 영상을 실제 영상과 통계적으로 구분되지 않도록 강제하는 GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) 구조로는 SRGAN(Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks) 모델이 발표됐다. 모두 SRCNN의 성능을 웃도는 모델들이나 그중 가장 높은 성능을 끌어내는 SRGAN 조차 아직 완벽한 성능을 내진 못한다. 본 논문에서는 SRGAN의 성능을 개선하기 위해 사전 훈련된 특징 추출기(Pre-trained Feature Extractor) VGG(Visual Geometry Group)-19 모델을 변경하고, 기존 모델과 성능을 비교한다. 실험 결과, VGG-19 모델보다 윤곽이 뚜렷하고, 실제 영상과 더 가까운 영상을 합성할 수 있는 모델을 발견할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
