  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the EGG measures from Lx Speech Studio program (Laryngograph Ltd, UK) in patient with vocal nodule. Thirty female adults (15 patient with vocal nodule, 15 normal speaker) produced sustained vowel and read the passage. They were grouped into three groups based on Grade (GRBAS) : normal-G0, nodule-Gl, nodule-G2. Estimates of Fx (Hz), Qx(%), Jitter, Shimmer, and HNR were made from a 500msec midportion of vowel. In addition, DFx(Hz), DQx(%), CFx(%) and CAx(%) were obtained from reading the passage. These data were compared among groups. The results were as follow Jitter, Shimmer, HNR were significantly higher in nodule-G2 group than in normal-G0 & patient-Gl group. In nodule-G2 group, CFx and CAx from reading passage were significantly higher. For patients with nodule, asymmetry or irregularity were observed in graphs of QxFx & CFx provided by Quantitative Analysis.

  • Commercially available PTCR (Postive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity) ceramics which have low room temperature resistance, high PTC effect and temperature coefficient were prepared by La3+ doped semiconducting barium calcium titanate soild solutions. PTCR characteristics were remarkably improved by addition of AST (1/3 Al2O3$.$3/4SiO2$.$1/4TiO2) and MnCl2. That can be explained by formation of liquid phase during sintering and acceptor level on the intergranular layer. Resistivity anormaly increased with decreasing cooling rate. Optimum manufacturing conditions were cooling rate below 100$.$C/hr, Ca and Mn content of 4 mol% &, 0.09-0.12mol% respectively.

  • This research was conducted to improve the cold tolerance of the gerbera cv. Gold Eye by introduction of the Arabidopsis $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter gene (CAX1) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Prior to genetic transformation, we optimized a combination of plant growth regulators; $1.0mgl^{-1}$ 6-Benzyladenine (BA) and $0.1mgl^{-1}$3-indole-acetic acid (IAA) were found to lead to proper in vitro shoot regeneration from petiole explants. In addition, $50mgl^{-1}$ kanamycin was determined to be the minimal concentration useful for selection of putative transgenic plants. In this study, transgenic gerbera expressing the Arabidopsis $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter gene (CAX1) were obtained using the optimized concentrations. We expect that introduction of the gene to the cultivar will improve cold tolerance, which will be important in the winter months.

  • In this paper, the microstructure and the dielectric properties of Sr$\_$1-x/CaxTiO$_3$(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2)-based grain boundary layer ceramics were investigated. The sintering temperature and time were 1420∼152 0$\^{C}$ and 4 hours in N$_2$ gas, respectively. The average grain size and the lattice constant were decreased with increasing content of Ca, but the average grain size was increased with increase of sintering temperature. The second phase foamed by the thermal diffusion of CuO from the surface leads to verb high apparent dielectric constant, $\xi$$\_$r/>50000 and low dielectric loss, tan$\delta$<0.05. X-ray diffraction patterns of Sr$\_$1-x/CaxTiO$_3$ exhibited cubic structure, and the peaks shifted upward and the peak intensity were decreased with x. This is due to the lattice contraction as Sr is replaced by Ca with a smaller ionic radius. The specimens treated thermal diffusion for 2hrs in 1150$\^{C}$ exhibited nonlinear current-voltage characteristic, and its nonlinear coefficient(a) was overt 7.

  • Previously, we found that the transgenic rice plants over-expressing the Arabidopsis $H^+/Ca^{2+}$ antiporter CAX 1 (accession no. U57411) gene accumulated 2.7 to 7.5-fold more calcium in the T3 rice grains as compared to those of control. To examine physiological safety of the $T_3$ rice grains, the effect of the $T_3$ brown rice on change in levels of body weight and white blood cells was compared with that of the control Ilpum brown rice by feeding trial in mice. During the feeding trial for one month, there was no significant difference between two mice groups, which were fed by the $T_3$ brown rice or Ilpum brown rice. There were no detectable differences in their effects on immune functions including plaque-forming unit, peritoneal macrophage number, and NK-cell activity. In addition, biochemical analysis of the blood failed to exhibit any difference between two mice groups. Together, these results suggested that the $T_3$ brown rice, which was produced from a genetically modified organism (GMO), might be safe and possess a potential to be applicable as calcium-fortified feed or food. Long-term safety of the $T_3$ brown rice, however, remains to be elucidated.
