Background : The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the Comprehensive Attention Test (CAT) by comparing the results of the continuous performance test (CPT) and the CAT in children and adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method : A total of 110 children and adolescents with ADHD (mean age : 11.2${\pm}$2.9 years, 76 boys) and 36 children and adolescents without ADHD (mean age : 12.0${\pm}$2.7 years, 25 boys) completed the CAT. We compared the specificity and sensitivity of the CPT and CAT at two different cut-off points via the McNemar test. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) between the two groups were compared using Medcalc software. Results : The sensitivity and specificity of the CPT were .419 and .806, respectively. The sensitivity of the CAT was .827, which was significantly higher than that of the CPT (p<.001), and the specificity of CAT is .444, which was significantly lower than that of CPT (p<.001). The AUC of the CPT and CAT was .664 and .692, respectively, and there were no significant difference between the two groups on the paired comparison (p=.513). Conclusions : The results of this study suggest that the CAT has moderate specificity and high sensitivity. The CAT can be used as a useful tool to evaluate the neuropsychological function of children and adolescents with ADHD.

In order to gain insight into the mechanism of the regulation of cytochrome P450IAl by arylhydrocarbon, the 5'-flanking region of a trout CYP450IAl 5'flanking DNA was cloned into pCAT-basic vector and it was transfected into Hepa-1 cells. 3MC treatment to hepa Ⅰ cells transfected with fish CYP450IAl-CAT construct results in mRNA increased by 2.81 fold when it was compared with that of control This increase of mRNA was decreased by concomitantly treated flavonoids such as morin. The levels of CAT mRNA that was treated with morin was 29.2-58.0% of 3MC stimulated CAT mRNA. Further investigation to find out if there are DRE, XRE or negative regulatory cis element in CYP450IA1 gene was undertaken. Results of the deletion study of 5'flanking DNA of trout P450IA indicate the existance of the negative(-1600 ～ -1300). CAT mRNA was about two-fold higher in deleted trout CYP450IAl-CAT construct transfected cells compared to the wi Id type trout CYP450IAl-CAT construct transfected cells. And The stimulatory effect of 3MC was no longer observed in col Is containing deleted CAT construct. [Supported by grants from the Korean Ministry of Education]

Recently, several ICT-based cat studies have produced some successful results, according to academic and industry sources. However, research on the level of simply identifying the cat's condition, such as the behavior and sound classification of cats based on images and sound signals, has yet to be found. In this paper, based on the veterinary scientific knowledge of cats, a practical and academic cat monitoring and disease diagnosis system is proposed to monitor the health status of the cat 24 hours a day by automatically categorizing and analyzing the behavior of the cat with location information using LSTM with a beacon sensor and a raspberry pie that can be built at low cost. Validity of the proposed system is verified through experimentation with cats in actual custody (the accuracy of the cat behavior classification and location identification was 96.3% and 92.7% on average, respectively). Furthermore, a rule-based disease analysis system based on the veterinary knowledge was designed and implemented so that owners can check whether or not the cats have diseases at home (or can be used as an auxiliary tool for diagnosis by a pet veterinarian).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze tile trends in physiological variables in CAT research in nursing in Korea. Method: Of studies published in Korea between January, 2000 and December, 2005, 227 studies were analyzed according to the criteria of type, theme, and patterns in physiological variables related to CAT. Results: There were 72 articles on CAT research in which physiological variables were examined. The most frequently researched type of CAT was massage and in particular, foot massage. The most frequently used physiological variables in CAT research were blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature. Patients with high blood pressure were the most frequent subjects for CAT research. As to the effect of physiological variable by CAT type, foot massage showed a decline in blood pressure in all six research studies involving patients with high blood pressure. Conclusion: There is a need to describe accurately the mechanism by which CAT affects physiological variables. There is also a need for repetitive analysis to verify the effect, and meta-analysis for the effect on physiological variables according to type of CAT.

Digital watermarking has gained importance in recent years in copyright protection and multimedia. This paper proposes a secure and novel watermarking system based on complemented Maximum Length Cellular Automata (MLCA) and Two-Dimension Cellular Automata Transform (2D CAT). In this watermarking scheme, the original watermark is first encrypted by complemented MLCA with the private keys, and then the encrypted watermark is embedded into the CAT domain of the cover image, at last use the inverse CAT for the transformed image, the watermarked image is obtained. Experiment results show that this new method is more secure and provides robust performance against watermarking attacks.

Many bacteria metabolize aromatic compounds via catechol as a catabolic intermediate, and possess multiple genes or clusters encoding catechol-cleavage enzymes. The presence of multiple isozyme-encoding genes is a widespread phenomenon that seems to give the carrying strains a selective advantage in the natural environment over those with only a single copy. In the naphthalene-degrading strain Pseudomonas putida ND6, catechol can be converted into intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle via either the ortho- or meta-cleavage pathways. In this study, we demonstrated that the catechol ortho-cleavage pathway genes (catBICIAI and catBIICIIAII) on the chromosome play an important role. The catI and catII operons are co-transcribed, whereas catAI and catAII are under independent transcriptional regulation. We examined the binding of regulatory proteins to promoters. In the presence of cis-cis-muconate, a well-studied inducer of the cat gene cluster, CatRI and CatRII occupy an additional downstream site, designated as the activation binding site. Notably, CatRI binds to both the catI and catII promoters with high affinity, while CatRII binds weakly. This is likely caused by a T to G mutation in the G/T-N11-A motif. Specifically, we found that CatRI and CatRII regulate catBICIAI and catBIICIIAII in a cooperative manner, which provides new insights into naphthalene degradation.

본 연구에서는 물리적 매개변수 기반의 물순환모형 CAT(Catchment hydrologic cycle Assessment Tool)을 매개변수 자동보정 기법인 PEST(Model-independent Parameter ESTimation)와 연계하여 단기 유출 특성을 분석하였다. CAT모형의 유출 모의 시 CAT모형에서 지원하는 3가지 침투 해석 방법((Rainfall excess, Green&Ampt and Horton)을 적용하였으며, 대표적인 단기 유출모형인 HEC-HMS를 비교 모델로 설정하여 모의 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 대상유역은 탄천의 지류인 운중천과 금토천이 포함된 판교 시험유역으로 유역면적은 $22.9km^2$이며, 유로연장은 9.2km이다. 2006, 2007년 중 누적 강우량 40mm이상에 해당하는 6개의 강우사상을 대상으로 모의를 실시하였다. 주요 매개변수를 대상으로 첨두유량, 첨두시간, 유출용적에 대한 민감도 분석 수행 후, PEST를 적용하여 유출 특성에 민감하게 반응하는 토양 관련 매개변수들에 대해 최적화를 수행하였다. 모의 결과 HEC-HMS의 경우 6개 강우사상에 대해 NSE가 0.63~0.91이었으며, CAT-PEST는 NSE 0.42~0.93의 모형 효율을 보였다. 선행토양함수조건에 따라 유출특성이 민감하게 반응하는 강우사상에 대해서는 HEC-HMS의 모의 정확도가 높았으나 강우 특성에 따라 유출특성이 민감하게 반응하는 경우에는 한계가 있는 것으로 보인다. 물리적 매개변수가 입력자료로 사용되는 CAT-PEST의 경우 다양한 유출특성을 가진 강우 사상에 대해 정밀한 유출 분석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
