This study was to quantify fiber distributions in thickness direction of kenaf handsheets as a fiber distribution index (FDI) and to analyze the relationship between FDI and the handsheet properties. The images of fiber distribution in z-direction were obtained by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and analyzed by image analysis technique. The proposed FDI had a good correlation with high R2 vlaues with various properties of paper, such as apparent density, scattering coefficient , burst index, tear index, tensile index, and folding endurance. The proposed FDI was shown as a good index to quantify paper properties.

Objectives: This study addresses the effect of using nanoparticles (np) on the antimicrobial properties of bioactive glass (BAG) when used in intracanal medicaments against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) biofilms. Materials and Methods: E. faecalis biofilms, grown inside 90 root canals for 21 days, were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the antimicrobial regimen followed (n = 20; BAG-np, BAG, calcium hydroxide [CaOH], and saline). After 1 week, residual live bacteria were quantified in terms of colony-forming units (CFU), while dead bacteria were assessed with a confocal laser scanning microscope. Results: Although there was a statistically significant decrease in the mean CFU value among all groups, the nano-group performed the best. The highest percentage of dead bacteria was detected in the BAG-np group, with a significant difference from the BAG group. Conclusions: The reduction of particle size and use of a nano-form of BAG improved the antimicrobial properties of the intracanal treatment of E. faecalis biofilms

CSLM 기술을 이용하여 Salmonella enteritidis에 의한 계란 오염 과정을 관찰하여 난막의 3중막 구조, cuticle 층 그리고 5가지 필름 피복의 침투 방어효과를 조사하였다. 난막을 구성하는 fiber의 지름은 각각 outer membrane $1.5{\sim}7.2\;{\mu}m$, inner membrane $0.8{\sim}2.0\;{\mu}m$이었고, limiting membrane을 구성하는 입자의 지름은 $0.1{\sim}1.4\;{\mu}m$이었으며, 두께는 각각 평균 10.0, 3.5, $3.6\;{\mu}m$이었다. 난각과 접해 있는 outer membrane은 다음 층인 inner membrane과 부분적으로 중첩되어있고, limiting membrane의 입자들은 매우 밀집되어 inner membrane과 중첩된 상태로 존재하였다. Cuticle층은 전체 계란 표면적 중 $40{\sim}80%$ 를 덮고 있었으며, 두께는 평균 $6.0\;{\mu}m$이었고 피복 필름들의 평균 두께는 자각 mineral oil $5.0\;{\mu}m$, dextrin $3.6\;{\mu}m$, gelatin $3.9\;{\mu}m$, starch $2.5\;{\mu}m$, chitosan $2.2\;{\mu}m$이었다. 필름 피복에 의한 Salmonella enteritidis 생육 억제효과를 관찰한 결과, chitosan이 가장 효과적이었다. 그리고 trisodium phosphate (TSP), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) 처리, 5종의 필름 피복 처리와 무처리한 계란표면에 Salmonella enteritidis를 접종한 후 내부 전이 과정을 CSLM을 이용하여 다색영상화(multi-color imaging)와 시간당 투과 균수에 대한 plate count로 비교한 결과, 난각이나 3중막 구조의 난막보다는 cuticle 층이 Salmonella균의 오염을 차단하는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, chitosan 피복이 cuticle 층과 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 따라서 피복 필름중에서 chitosan이 최외부 방어막인 cuticle층이 결손된 난각 부위를 피복하는데 가장 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

The worn crater wear geometry of coated tools after machining has been configured by using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy(CLSM) and the Wavelet-based filtering technique. The CLSM can be well suited to construct the three-dimensional crater wear on the rake surfaces of coated tips. However, The raw heightness data of HEI(height encoded image) acquired by CLSM must be filtered due to the electronic and imaging noise occurring in constructing the crater image. So the Wavelet-based filtering algorithm is necessary to denoise the shape features in a micro scales so as to realize accurate crater wear topography analysis. The crater wear patterns filtered enable us to predict the crater wear shape in order to study the tool wear evolution. The study shows that the technique by combining the CLSM and Wavelet-based filtering is an excellent one to obtain the geometries of worn tool rake surfaces over a wide range of surface resolution in a micro scale.

Mesophilically-grown granular sludge seeded in thermophilic UASB reactor was monitored to better understand the start-up process of the reactor. The reactor was fed with a synthetic wastewater containing glucose. As COD loading rate increased stepwise, methane production rate increased. Maximum values of COD removal efficiency (95%) and methane production rate (5.3 l/day) were achieved by approximately day-80 and remained constant afterward. However, physicochemical and microbial properties of granules kept changing even after day-80. Specific methanogenic activity (SMA) was initially negligible, and increased continuously until day-153 and remained constant afterward, showing the maximum value of $1.51{\pm}0.13\;g\;CH_4-COD/g$ VSS/day. Deteriorated settling ability of granules recovered the initial value by day-98 and was maintained afterward, as determined by sludge volume index. Initially reduced granule size increased until day-126, reaching a plateau of 1.1 mm. Combined use of fluorescence in situ hybridization and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) allowed to localize families of Methanosaetaceae and Merhanosarcinaceae in granules with time Quantitative analyses of CLSM images of granule sections showed abundance patterns of the methanogens and numerical dominance of Methanosaeta spp. throughout the start-up period. The trend of SMA agreed well with abundance patterns of the methanogens.

The utilization of non-woody fibers with the fast growing annual plants has occurred in the paper industry to replace wood and preserve environment of the earth. The non-woody fibers generally used for papermaking are paper mulberry, gampi, manila hemp, rice straw, bamboo, and coton linter etc.. Recently Kenaf has been spot-lighted for the same application. Kenaf is an annual plant of Hibiscus species of Malvaceae family. Kenaf, a rapid growing and high harvesting non-woody fiber plant, was identified as one of the promising fiber sources for the production of paper pulp. This study was carried out to investigate the pulping characteristics of Kenaf bast fiber for Hanji (traditional Korean paper) manufacturing by different pulping methods, such as alkali, alkali-peroxide and sulfomethylated pulpings. It was possible to make superior grade of Hanji. Especially sulfomethylated pulping was resulted in superior pulp in terms of higher yields and qualities in comparison to those of the other pulping methods. Hanji from sulfomethylated pulp was shown the highest brightness of over 60% and higher sheet strength. In addition, the morphological features of pulp fibers (pulp compositions) affect to the sheet properties. Therefore the effect of fiber distribution index(FDI) which was calculated from the data of Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM) on the sheet properties of Kenaf Hanji was also discussed.

The locus coeruleus(LG) is known to be observed a sexual dimorphism in rat CNS. LC is the largest collections of norepinephrine(NE)-containing neurons in the mammalian brain. Especially in rat, all LC neurons contained NE unlike other mammalians, so that specific reactions were found in the tyrosine-hydroxylase(TH) immunoreactive neurons. Sexual dimorphism of rat LC has affected by genes before sex hormone appeared, thereafter affected by sex hormones. In these day, many scientists founded morphological differences between male and female LC morphology, but differences of entire structure was not founded. Thus we investigated sex differences of the LC neuron's morphology in rat by three-dimensional(3-D) reconstruction using Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM). We reported that neuron's shape was relatively-large multipolar neurons and neuron's processes in dorsal LC proceeded to ventral direction in the male and female rat. Male had a longer anterior-posterior length than female had in dorsal LC. In addition to middle-LC, male rat's LC had a more thicker posterior region but had not viewed in a previous study. In reverse, female rat's LC had a thicker anterior region like a previous study. This results using 3-D reconstruction by CLSM showed that the male's LC was more wide-ranging than female's relatively.

Refining is very important process of fibers treatment for proper paper properties. An extent of refining is usually measured by freeness, although freeness gives complicated meanings. One of a direct way of studying the refining effects on pulp fibers is making photomicrographs of beaten fibers. The conventional microscopy like light microscopy(LM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) require to preserve the wet structure of pulp fibers morphologically since most of papermaking process is carried out almost entirely in water. Recently developed microscopy, especially confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM), offers the possibility of examining fully hydrated pulp fibers. Cross-sectional images of wet pulp fibers are also generated using optical sectioning by CLSM and image analysis in order to verify and quantify the extent of fiber wall swelling indicating the internal fibrillation. At low beating load such as 2.5 kgf, in the same freeness, breaking length is higher than that of high beating load such as 5.6 kgf. fiber wall thickness at low beating load is greater than that at high beating load. This result is accounted for the fact that internal fibrillation in the low beating load was high.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of a bleaching agent on tooth surfaces and to evaluate the resin bond strength according to different surface treatments on bleached teeth. To prepare for the experimental samples, first, extracted human third molars were used and the body portions of the crowns were cut into four equal-sized specimens. Next, each specimen was mounted in an plastic bottle with self-cured resin and highly polished to have them reveal the enamel or dentin surfaces. Then, the enamel(E) and dentin(D) specimens were divided into four ; 1) non-bleached, laser-treated(NBLA) group 2) bleached, laser-treated(BLLA) group 3) non-bleached, acid-treated(NBAC) group and 4) bleached, acid-treated(BLAC) group. Here, $opalescence^{(R)}$ (10% carbamide peroxide) was used for bleaching agent. The treated specimens were observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and bonded with composite resin for shear bond test. The following results were obtained from this experiment : 1. Compared with the ENB group, the EBL group was shown be dyed about $20{\mu}m$ deeper with rhodamine B. The DBL group appeared to be caved in at the entry part of the dentinal tubules, was dyed about $20{\mu}m$ deeper and $5{\mu}m$ wider in diameter, compared with the DNB group. 2. In comparison with the EBLAC group, the ENBAC group looked evenly bonded with the resin, while the DNBAC group, compared to DBLAC group, was observed to have its resin tags penetrated about $50{\mu}m$ deeper. Other than those, however, no observable differences between ENBLA and EBLLA group or between DNBLA and DBLLA group were found. 3, At the shear bond test, the ENBAC group was shown to have statistically significant higher shear bond strength than the EBLAC group(p<0.05). No statistically significant differences between the ENBLA and the EBLLA groups were observed(p>0.05). 4. At the shear bond test, the DNBAC group was shown to have statistically significant higher shear bond strength than the DBLAC group(p<0.05). No statistically significant differences between the DNBLA and the DBLLA groups were observed(p>0.05). The in vitro observations above suggest that tooth-bleaching procedure brings a certain change on enamel and dentin surfaces and it weakens the shear bond strength with composite resin when the bleached tooth was acid-treated.
