The anthocyanin biosynthesis in callus culture of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. cv. Borami) was investigated under growth in different light intensity and light emitting diodes (LED) treatment. Pigmented calli were induced from leaf explants cultured on MS agar medium supplemented with $0.5\;{\mu}M$ 2,4-D under light condition. The color value of these calli extracted after $2{\sim}4$ weeks of cultures was $0.4{\sim}0.5\;mg/mL$. Irradiation intensity is an important factor for anthocyanin biosynthesis. The optimal anthocyanin accumulation occurred on light intensity of 3000 lux. Light irradiation of 3000 lux and blue light treatment for 2 h resulted in a significant enhancement of anthocyanin accumulation. This value was 1.4 fold that the control.

Callus induction from a leaf explant has been achieved in Lilium Oriental hybrid 'Casa Blanca'. The highest frequency of callus induction was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA and 2.0 mg/L NAA after 2 months of culture. The cultures maintained continuously without change in color and type of callus when they cultured in the dark. Plantlet regeneration with a high frequency was achieved from induced calli on the same medium. A number of shoots are formed from one cluster of callus, and bulblets developed into intact plantlets after transfer to hormone-free MS medium. No phenotypic variations were observed among regenerants. Enhancement in plantlet regeneration via callus formation would be expected to facilitate the efficiency of transformation of this Oriental hybrid 'Casa Blanca'.

Arsenic exposure is associated with several human diseases, including cancers, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and cerebrovascular diseases. In cultured cells, arsenite, an inorganic arsenic com-pound, was demonstrated to interfere with many physiological functions, such as enhancement of oxidative stress, delay of cell cycle progression, and induction of structural and numerical changes of chromosomes. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of arsenic exposure on gene expression profiles by colorimetric cDNA microarray technique. HFW (normal human diploid skin fibroblasts), CL3 (human lung adenocarcinoma cell line), and HaCaT (immortalized human keratinocyte cell line) were treated with 5 $\mu\textrm{M}$ or 10 $\mu\textrm{M}$ sodium arsenite for 6 or 16 h, respectively. By a dual-color detection system, the expression profile of arsenite-treated cultures was compared to that of control cultures. Several genes expressed differentially were identified on the microarray membranes. For example, MDM2, SWI/SNF, ubiquitin specific protease 4, MAP3K11, RecQ protein-like 5, and Ribosomal protein Ll0a were consistently induced in all three cell types by arsenite, whereas prohibitin, cyclin D1, nucleolar protein 1, PCNA, Nm23, and immediate early protein (ETR101) were apparently inhibited. The present results suggest that arsenite insults altered the expression of several genes participating in cellular responses to DNA damage, stress, transcription, and cell cycle arrest.

상대적으로 산출양이 많은 보석용 천연 갈색 다이아몬드는 고온고압 공정을 통해서 칼라센터를 제어하여 색향상이 가능하다. 질소가 불순물로 함유된 Type IaA 다이아몬드를 5.6GPa-30min 조건으로 압력과 처리시간을 고정하고, 이때 처리온도를 1600, 1650, 1750, $1800^{\circ}C$로 바꾸어 HPHT 처리하였다. 처리조건에 따른 다이아몬드의 물성변화 확인을 위해서 광학현미경, FTIR, 저온 PL, Micro-Raman 분석을 진행하였다. 광학현미경 확대 이미지를 통해서, $1600^{\circ}C$에서도 색향상이 가능하였으며 온도증가에 따라 색향상은 진한노랑(vivid yellow)에서 연두 노랑색(vivid greenish yellow)로 색이 변하는 경향이 있었다. 또한 $1750^{\circ}C$의 고온에서는 탄소점으로 추정되는 결함이 확인되었다. FTIR 분석결과에 의해 HPHT 처리 후에도 다이아몬드의 Type IaA로 유지됨을 알 수 있었다. 저온 PL 스펙트럼결과 처리 후 모든 시편에서 H4센터는 소멸하지만 H3 센터는 잔류함을 확인하였다. 따라서 HPHT 처리온도를 조절하여 목표하는 색으로의 향상이 가능하였고, 되도록이면 탄소점과 같은 결함을 방지할 수 있는 저온 HPHT 처리가 유리하였다.

We have developed a 3-D image processing and display technique that include image resampling, modification of MIP, and fusion of MIP image and volumetric rendered image. This technique facilitates the visualization of the three-dimensional spatial relationship between vasculature and surrounding organs by overlapping the MIP image on the volumetric rendered image of the organ. We applied this technique to a MR brain image data to produce an MRI angiogram that is overlapped with 3-D volume rendered image of brain. MIP technique was used to visualize the vasculature of brain, and volume rendering was used to visualize the other structures of brain. The two images are fused after adjustment of contrast and brightness levels of each image in such a way that both the vasculature and brain structure are well visualized either by selecting the maximum value of each image or by assigning different color table to each image. The resultant image with this technique visualizes both the brain structure and vasculature simultaneously, allowing the physicians to inspect their relationship more easily. The presented technique will be useful for surgical planning for neurosurgery.

Mockeoseuk(China fossil) contains the various kinds of minerals and radiates far infrared light. In order to apply mockeoseuk to the cosmetic formulation, hybridization technique was adapted and modified by selecting a spherical silicone powder as substrate. The resultant composite improved the physical properties such as skin feeling and apparent color and still sustained the efficacy of mockeoseuk. In a clinical test, the cosmetic formulation with 10 wt% mockeoseuk composite raised the temperature of facial skin through enhancement of skin blood flow.

Purpose: Dual-energy X-ray imaging is widely used today in various areas of medicine and in other applications. However, no similar technique exists for dental applications. In this study, we propose a dual-energy technique for dental diagnoses based on voltage-switching. Materials and Methods: The method presented in this study allowed different groups of materials to be classified based on atomic number, thereby enabling two-dimensional images to be colorized. Computer simulations showed the feasibility of this approach. Using a number of different samples with typical biologic and synthetic dental materials, the technique was applied to radiographs acquired with a commercially available dental X-ray unit. Results: This technique provided a novel visual representation of the intraoral environment in three colors, and is of diagnostic value when compared to state-of-the-art grayscale images, since the oral cavity often contains multiple permanent foreign materials. Conclusion: This work developed a technique for two-dimensional dual-energy imaging in the context of dental applications and showed its feasibility with a commercial dental X-ray unit in simulation and experimental studies.

Novel rhodamine 6G fluorescent chemosensors 1 and 2 for the detection of transition metal cations were synthesized through the condensation of rhodamine 6G ethylenediamine with each of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2,6-pyridinedicarbaldehyde, respectively. 1 and 2 were characterized using $^{13}C$ NMR, $^1H$ NMR and mass spectroscopy. Fluorometric and colorimetric measurements involving various metal ions revealed the ring opening of the rhodamine 6G spirocycle framework. In the absence of metal cations, 2 was colorless and non-fluorescent, whereas the addition of metal cations ($Hg^{2+}$ and others) changed the color to pink, accompanied by the appearance of an orange fluorescence. The chemosensors exhibited high selectivity for $Hg^{2+}$ over other divalent first-row transition metals. The complexes of $Hg^{2+}$ with 1 and 2 were successfully isolated. A huge enhancement in the fluorescence for both one- and two-photon excitations makes these compounds suitable candidates to be used for fluorescent labeling of biological systems.

Lane detection is a widely researched topic. Although simple road detection is easily achieved by previous methods, lane detection becomes very difficult in several complex cases involving noisy edges. To address this, we use a Convolution neural network (CNN) for image enhancement. CNN is a deep learning method that has been very successfully applied in object detection and recognition. In this paper, we introduce a robust lane detection method based on a CNN combined with random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm. Initially, we calculate edges in an image using a hat shaped kernel, then we detect lanes using the CNN combined with the RANSAC. In the training process of the CNN, input data consists of edge images and target data is images that have real white color lanes on an otherwise black background. The CNN structure consists of 8 layers with 3 convolutional layers, 2 subsampling layers and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) of 3 fully-connected layers. Convolutional and subsampling layers are hierarchically arranged to form a deep structure. Our proposed lane detection algorithm successfully eliminates noise lines and was found to perform better than other formal line detection algorithms such as RANSAC
