  • The purpose of this research is classifying stream into different types depending on various factor from the perspective of stream corridor restoration and using it as basic data, which are used to consider efficient management and planning for the healthy stream according to the characteristic by types. In this study, 130 points of location of the Nakdong river basin which consist of various geographic factors have been chosen and hierarchical cluster analysis has been carried out in these points by using biological and physiochemical factors whose health can be considered to be predicted and evaluated. As a result of cluster analysis, there were three divided types. Type A whose biology and water quality are considered the best was the highest in forest area percentage so that it was classified into natural stream. Type B was classified into a rural region stream with a mixture of urban and agricultural region. Type C, with the most damaged water quality and biology health had the most urban region surface area and was named as urban region stream. Moreover, an overall restoration strategy according to characteristic by stream types was set. By the results of correlation analysis on factors, water quality showed a high correlation with biological properties and was affected by surrounding land usage. In evaluation of streams, it proves the need to consider not only other habitat's geographical and biological factors but also the water quality and land usage factors. There needs to be further research on stream ecosystem functionality factors and structural aspects by using a more objective and total evaluation result in selecting additional index and various other specific classification methods by stream types and its restoration strategies.

  • The polydiacethylene (PDA) is known to change its color by mechanical shear. The shear-induced color transition has been reported with elastomer or film type of PDA. In this paper, we newly investigated the transition with liposome type of PDAs in polymeric solutions. The liposomes were dispersed in Poly(vinyl alcohol) 2% + Sodium borate 1%, Poly(vinyl alcohol) 15% and Hyaluronic acid 1% (PVA/B, PVA, HA). The shear stress was continuously imposed to each solution by stress control type rheometer with coni-cylinder fixture. The degree of color transition was quantified with the characteristic absorbance peak at 540 nm (blue) and 640 nm (red). As a result, PDA liposome in PVA/B solution changed the color from blue to red upon increasing the magnitude of shear (from 0 to 100 Pa) and the duration of shear-imposed time (from 0 to 5400 sec). Meanwhile, PDA liposome in HA or PVA solution did not noticeably change the color, even though the low shear viscosities of the solutions were kept almost constant. This color transition of PDA liposome is expected to measure the magnitude of shear, and to distinguish different responses of polymeric solutions to the applied shear.

  • Understanding the polymer adsorption in particle/binder/solvent system is important to achieve successful film products. While most of the reported work has dealt with the suspension microstructure, a few studies have focused on film formation. We investigated the effect of adsorption on film formation through measurement of adsorption amount in suspension and stress development in drying film with respect to mixing time ($t_m$). All of the adsorption amount (PVA), characteristic stress ($\sigma_{ch}$) exhibited similarities expressed by the form of $1-e^{t_m/{\tau}}$. The porous and non-unifonn dried film at short tm became close-packed and uniform with longer $t_m$. We found that polymer adsorption plays the key role in film fonnation as it introduces steric repulsion in suspension and suppresses the flocculation during solvent evaporation. We also found that the mixing time for the saturated polymer adsorption is the important variable to acquire the consolidated and uniform film microstructure.

  • The effect of Sodium Butyrate (NaBu) on the N-linked oligosaccharide structure of Erythropoietin (EPO) was investigated. Recombinant human EPO was produced by CHO cells grown in an $MEM{\alpha}$ medium with or without 5 mM NaBu, and purified from the culture supernatants using a heparin-sepharose affinity column and immunoaffinity column. The N-linked oligosaccharides were released enzymatically and isolated by paper chromatography. The isolated oligosaccharides were then labeled with a fluorescent dye, 2-aminobenzamide, and analyzed with MonoQ anion exchange chromatography and GlycosepN amide chromatography for the assignment of a GU (glucose unit) vague. A glycan analysis by HPLC showed that the most significant characteristic effect of NaBu was a reduction in the proportion of glycans with Sri-and tetrasialylated oligodaccharides from $21.30\%$ (tri-) and $14.86\%$ (tetra-) in the control cultures (without NaBu) to $8.72\%$ (tri-) and $1.25\%$ (tetra-) in the NaBu-treated cultures, respectively. It was also found that the proportion of asialo-glycan increased from $12.54\%\;to\;23.6\%$ when treated with NaBu.

  • This study proposed a rapid microscopic examination method for pork freshness evaluation by using the self-assembled hyperspectral microscopic imaging (HMI) system with the help of feature extraction algorithm and pattern recognition methods. Pork samples were stored for different days ranging from 0 to 5 days and the freshness of samples was divided into three levels which were determined by total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content. Meanwhile, hyperspectral microscopic images of samples were acquired by HMI system and processed by the following steps for the further analysis. Firstly, characteristic hyperspectral microscopic images were extracted by using principal component analysis (PCA) and then texture features were selected based on the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Next, features data were reduced dimensionality by fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) for further building classification model. Finally, compared with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model and support vector machine (SVM) model, good back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) model obtained the best freshness classification with a 100 % accuracy rating based on the extracted data. The results confirm that the fabricated HMI system combined with multivariate algorithms has ability to evaluate the fresh degree of pork accurately in the microscopic level, which plays an important role in animal food quality control.

  • Objectives : Biochemical markers can provide an objective evidence of heavy alcohol drinking. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the usefulness of biological markers detecting alcohol dependence, such as mean corpuscular volume(MCV), gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT), and carbohydrate-deficient transferrin(CDT) in the patients of an alcohol counseling center. Methods : This study was done with 64 patients with alcohol dependence and 36 healthy subjects. Relative values(%) of CDT were determined in their sera with turbidimetric immunoassay(Bio-Rad %CDT assay, Axis-Shield ASA, Oslo, Norway), and were compared with conventional markers of alcohol consumption, GGT and MCV. Results : Among the patients with alcohol dependence, 78.1% showed abnormal %CDT levels compared with GGT(61.9%) and MCV(20.7%). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves(95% confidence interval) for %CDT, GGT, and MCV were 0.934(0.866-0.973), 0.871(0.789-0.930), and 0.575 (0.472-0.673), respectively. Conclusion : %CDT seems to be the most reliable biological marker for the detection and monitoring of alcohol consumption in the patients with alcohol dependence of the alcohol counseling center.

  • 치과보철물의 소재는 생물 화학적, 물리적 안정성을 위하여 우수한 생체친화성이 요구된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 새로운 기술인 레이저 선택용융 가공법으로 제작된 Co-Cr합금(SC시편), Ti합금(ST시편)을 일반적으로 사용되는 주조법으로 제작된 Co-Cr합금(CC시편), Ni-Cr합금(CN시편)과 비교분석하여 기계적 특성과 생물학적 안정성 평가를 실시하였다. 기계적 특성 평가를 위하여 인장시험을 통한 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 그리고 생물학적 안정성 평가를 위하여 유사체액(lactic acid-NaCl solution)을 이용한 용출물질 분석과 용출배지를 이용한 세포독성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 레이저 선택용융 가공법으로 제작한 Co-Cr 합금이 주조법으로 제작한 Co-Cr합금보다 탄성계수가 높게 나타났다. 그리고 용출물질 분석과 세포독성 평가에서 레이저 선택용융 가공법으로 제작한 Co-Cr합금의 생물학적 안정성이 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 결과에 의하여 레이저 선택용융 가공법으로 제작한 합금이 치과보철물 제작을 위한 합금으로 적용할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

  • This paper describes the mechanism of information processing in the nervous system through neuron pool model which is consisted of six single neural models. In the neuron pool model, summation characteristic of stimulus satisfies those of real nervous system and output impulse rate increases linearly to the input stimulus. Occlusion phenomena of the neuron pool model is approached to those of real nervous system and also if the threshold potential within sutlirninal fringe is increased, facilitation phenomena appreared. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that we can construct large neuron pool with many single neural models and verify the mechanism of information processing in the wide part of nervous system.

  • The spectroscopic characteristic of 9 items in the urinalysis strip are measured to develop the urine analysis system. From experimental results, we determined the wavelength range which could accurately distinguish the degrees of 9 test items. Simulation is performed to distinguish the primary color reaction in the urinalysis strips using reflectance of urine strips, luminous intensity of LEDs, and spectral sensitivity of photodiodes. The simulation results agree well with experimental results by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer.
