군집분석은 마이크로어레이 발현자료에서 유전자 혹은 표본들의 유사한 특성을 갖는 연관구조를 조사하는데 중요한 도구이다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로어레이 자료에서 계층적 군집방법, K-평균법, PAM (partitioning around medoids), SOM (self-organizing maps) 그리고 모형기반 군집방법 들의 성능을 3가지 군집 타당성 측도인 내적 측도, 안정적 측도 그리고 생물학적 측도를 가지고 비교분석하고자 한다. 모의실험을 통해 생성된 자료와 실제 SRBCT (small round blue cell tumor) 자료를 가지고 여러 가지 군집방법들의 성능을 비교하였으며 그 결과 모의실험 자료에서는 거의 모든 방법들이 3가지 군집측도에서 원래 자료와 일치하는 좋은 군집 결과를 나타내었고 SRBCT 자료에서는 모의실험 자료처럼 명확한 군집화 결과를 보여주지는 않으나 내적측도의 실루엣 너비 (Silhouette width) 관점에서는 PAM 방법, SOM, 모형기반 군집방법 그리고 생물학적 측도에서는 PAM 방법과 모형기반 군집방법이 모의실험 결과와 비슷한 결과를 얻었고 안정적 측도에서 모형기반 군집방법이 다른 방법들보다 좋은 군집결과를 보여주었다.

Soft materials, such as polymer solutions, gels and filamentous protein materials in cells, show complicated behavior due to their complex structures and dynamics with multiple characteristic time and length scales. Several complementary techniques have been developed to measure viscoelastic of soft materials. Especially, particle tracking microrheology, using the Brownian motion of particles in a medium to get rheological properties, has recently been improved both theoretically and experimentally. Compared to other conventional methods, video particle tracking microrheology has some advantages such as small sample volume, detecting spatial variation of local rheological properties, and less damage to sample materials. With these advantages, microrheology is more suitable to measure the properties of complex materials than other mechanical rheometries.

The fluorescent-antibody-to-membrane-antigen (FAMA) test is regarded as the "gold standard" to detect protective antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) because of its high sensitivity and specificity. Because the classic FAMA test uses an infectious virus for detection of antibodies to VZV, it is labor-intensive, and also requires special equipment for handling the virus. For this reason, we attempted to develop a simple and safe FAMA assay. Because VZV glycoprotein E (gE) is one of the major VZV glycoproteins, we used the gE protein for the FAMA test (gE FAMA). Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of gE in HEK293T cells can be used to measure antibodies in human serum, and that gE FAMA titers are closely correlated with gpEIA ELISA data. These results indicate that our gE FAMA test has the potential to measure antibodies to VZV.

Remote sensing and measurement are of paramount importance of providing information on the state of water quality in water bodies. The formation and growth of cyanobacteria is of serious concern to in land aquatic life forms and human life. The main cause of water quality deterioration stems from anthropogenic induced eutrophication. The goal of this research to quantify and determine the spatial distribution of cyanobacteria concentration in the water using remote sensing technique. The standard approach to measure water quality based on the direct measurement of the fluorescence of the chlorophyll a in the living algal cells and the same approach used to detect the phycobilin pigments found in blue-green algae (a.k.a. cyanobacteria), phycocyanin and phycoerythrin. This paper propose the emerging sensor design to measure the water quality based on the optical analysis by fluorescence of the phycocyanin pigment. In this research, we developed an method to sense and quantify to derive phycocyanin intensity index for estimating cyanobacteria concentrations. The development of the index was based on the reflectance difference between visible light band 620nm and 665nm. As a result of research this paper presents, an optical biological sensor design information to measure the Phycocyanin parameters in water content.

Recently ionic liquids received much attention as novel materials capable of replacing traditional solvents. The applicability of the ionic liquids should be determined based on their physico-chemical properties. Heat capacity is one of the most important properties to be considered when a process is developed using the ionic liquids and currently DSC has been proved as an effective technique to measure the heat capacity. Micro DSCII can measure heat capacities of various liquids by both an isothermal step method and a scanning method. DSC Q100 and MDSC are able to measure heat capacities of several ionic liquids. For each ionic liquid linear regression of the heat capacity as a function of temperature has been performed to increase accuracy. To investigate the feasibility of ionic liquids as PCMs, their heat capacities have been measured by using Pysis I DSC. This paper briefly summarizes the present techniques of measuring heat capacities of ionic liquids by DSC.

Pattern discovery in biological sequences (e.g., DNA sequences) is one of the most challenging tasks in computational biology and bioinformatics. So far, in most approaches, the number of occurrences is a major measure of determining whether a pattern is interesting or not. In computational biology, however, a pattern that is not frequent may still be considered very informative if its actual support frequency exceeds the prior expectation by a large margin. In this paper, we propose a new interesting measure that can provide meaningful biological information. We also propose an efficient index-based method for mining such interesting patterns. Experimental results show that our approach can find interesting patterns within an acceptable computation time.

생체조직내의 정확한 광선량 측정이 PDT 치료의 효과에 중요한 영향을 주므로 본 연구에서는 광선량 측정을 위해서 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 이용하였다. 실험에 사용한 계수는 실제 생체조직의 광학계수이고 위상함수는 Henyey-Greenstein 위상함수를 사용하였다. 결과는 깊이에 따른 Fluency rate의 변화로 나타내었으며 기존 이론과의 차이는 0.35%에 지나지 않았다. 실험에 사용한 생체조직은 인체조직, 돼지조직, 쥐간조직, 토기근육조직이다. 대부분의 생체조직은 가시광선영역에서 큰 산란계수를 가지고 있으며 이것은 투과도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 가시광선 영역에서 인체조직의 투과 깊이는 1.5~2cm이었다. Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 생체조직내의 광전파(light propagation), 광선량(light dosimetry), 에너지율(fluence rate), 투과깊이(penetration depth)를 효과적으로 측정할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

The number of processes in the manufacture of semiconductors, displays and solar cells is increasing. And as the processes is performed, multiple layers of films and various patterns are formed on the wafer. At this time, substrate warpage occurs due to the difference in stress between each film and pattern formed on the wafer. the substrate warping phenomenon occurs due to the difference in stress between each film and pattern formed on the wafer. We developed a new warpage measurement method to measure wafer warpage during real-time processing. We performed an experiment to measure the presence and degree of warpage of the substrate in real time during the process by adding only measurement equipment for applying additional electrical signals to the existing ESC and detecting the change of the additional electric signal. The additional electrical measurement signal applied at this time is very small compared to the direct current (DC) power applied to the electrostatic chuck whit a frequency that is not generally used in the process can be selectively used. It was confirmed that the measurement of substrate warpage can be easily separated from other power sources without affecting.

Secondhand smoke (SHS) is one of major public health threats. Since secondhand smoke is complex mixture of toxic chemicals, there has been no standardized method to measure SHS quantitatively. The purpose of this manuscript was to review various quantitative methods to measure SHS. There are two different methods: air monitoring and biological monitoring. Air monitoring methods include exhaled carbon monoxide level, ambient fine particulates, nicotine and 3-ethenylpyridine. Measurement of fine particulates has been utilized due to presence of real-time monitor, while fine particulates can have multiple indoor sources other than SHS. Ambient nicotine and 3-EP are more specific to SHS, although there is no real-time monitor for these chemicals. Biological monitoring methods include nicotine in hair, cotinine in urine, NNK in urine and DNA adducts. Nicotine in hair can provide chronic internal dose, while cotinine in urine can provide acute dose. Since biological monitoring can provide total internal dose, identification of specific exposure source may be difficult. NNK in urine can indicate carcinogenicity of the SHS exposure. DNA adducts can provide overall cancer causing exposure, but not specific to SHS. While there are many quantitative methods to measure SHS, selection of appropriate method should be based on purposes of assessment. Application of accurate and appropriate exposure assessment method is important for understanding health effects and establishing appropriate control measures.
