  • We developed a photometric pipeline to be used for a wide field survey. This pipeline employs the difference image analysis (DIA) method appropriate for the photometry of star dense field such as the Galactic bulge. To verify the performance of pipeline, the observed dataset of the open cluster M11 was re-processed. One hundred seventy eight variable stars were newly discovered by analyzing the light curves of which photometric accuracy was improved through the DIA. The total number of variable stars in the M11 observation region is 335, including 157 variable stars discovered by previous studies. We present the catalogue and light curves for the 178 variable stars. This study shows that the photometric pipeline using the DIA is very useful in the detection of variable stars in a cluster.

  • PURPOSE. Grinding with less stress on 3Y-TZP through proper selection of methods and instruments can lead to a long-term success of prosthesis. The purpose of this study was to compare the phase transformation and physical properties after zirconia surface grinding with 3 different grinding burs. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty disc-shaped zirconia specimens were fabricated. Each Ten specimens were ground with AllCeramic SuperMax (NTI, Kahla, Germany), Dura-Green DIA (Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan), and Dura-Green (Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan). Ten specimens were not ground and used as a control group. After the specimen grinding, XRD analysis, surface roughness test, FE-SEM imaging, and biaxial flexural strength test were performed. RESULTS. After surface grinding, small amount of monoclinic phase in all experimental groups was observed. The phase change was higher in specimens, which were ground with Dura-Green DIA and AllCeramic SuperMax burs. The roughness of surfaces increased in specimens, which were ground with Dura-Green DIA and AllCeramic SuperMax burs than control groups and ground with Dura-Green. All experimental groups showed lower flexural strength than control group, but there was no statistically significant difference between control group and ground with Dura-Green DIA and AllCeramic SuperMax burs. The specimens, which were ground with Dura-Green showed the lowest strength. CONCLUSION. The use of dedicated zirconia-specific grinding burs such as Dura-Green DIA and AllCeramic SuperMax burs decreases the grinding time and did not significantly affect the flexural strength of zirconia, and therefore, they may be recommended. However, a fine polishing process should be accompanied to reduce the surface roughness after grinding.

  • 근관형성을 위해 표준화된 근관형성기구에 비해 taper가 큰 기구들이 사용되고 있으며 이를 이용하여 형성된 근관은 taper가 큰 근관의 모양을 갖는다. 근관충전방법에 있어 근관의 크기에 적합한 1차적 gutta-percha cone을 선택할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 .04 및 .06 taper의 전동화일로 형성된 근관에 열연화충전법을 위해 가장 적합한 1차 cone을 선택하기 위한 지침 마련의 목적으로, 근단공의 크기와 근관의 taper에 따른 gutta-percha cone의 근단부 근관 내 적 합도를 평가하였다. ProFile$^{(R)}$ .04 taper와 .06 taper를 이용하여 Crown down 방법으로 60개의 모형근관을 형성하였다. 표준화 gutta-percha cone, Dia-Pro ISO-.04$^{TM}$ 및 .06 gutta-percha cone, MF, F, FM 및 M 크기의 비표준화 gutta-percha cone의 근관 내 적합도는 치근단 5mm의 근관면적에 대한 gutta-percha cone의 점유 면적비(%)로 하였다. .04 taper, 25번 크기의 근관에서는 F, MF 크기의 비표준화 cone이 표준화 cone과 Dia-Pro 180-.04$^{TM}$ 보다 우수한 근관적합도를 나타내었고(p<0.05), 30번 크기의 근관에서는 F, Dia-Pro ISO-.04$^{TM}$, FM 크기의 gutta-percha cone 모두 표준화 cone보다 우수한 근관적합도를 나타내었으나(p<0.05), 35번 크기의 근관에서는 모든 gutta-percha cone 사이에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05) .06 taper, 25번 크기의 근관에서는 사용된 비표준화 cone 모두가 표준화 cone, Dia-Pro ISO-.06$^{TM}$ 보다 나은 근관적합도를 나타내었고(P<0.05), 30번 크기의 근관에서는 표준화 cone을 제외한 나머지 gutta-percha cone에서 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 35번 크기의 근관에는 M 크기의 비표준화 cone이 가장 우수한 근관적합도를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, FM과 Dia-Pro ISO-.06$^{TM}$ 사이에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05).

  • 양전자방출단영상(Positron Emission Tomography, PET)은 여러 화합물과 방사성 동위원소를 결합하여 인체 내에 주입하여 인체 내의 대사율을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 핵의학적 검사이다. 특히, 암 조직에서 포도당 대사가 증가되는 현상을 $^{18}F$-FDG(Fluorodeoxyglucose)를 사용하여 널리 암 진단에 활용하며, 현대에서 발병 빈도가 높은 뇌질환 중 치매 및 파킨슨 진단에도 높은 유용성을 보인다는 연구가 다수 진행되었다. 이러한 현재의 정적 정보에 시간의 동적 정보를 포함하는 동적 양전자방출단층영상(dynamic PET, dPET)을 이용할 경우, 진단을 위한 추가적인 정보가 제공되므로 진단의 정확도 향상에 기여할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 임상 연구자 및 방사선사의 큰 관심을 받고 있으나 연구를 진행하기 위해 손쉽게 사용 가능한 도구가 부족한 실정이며, 다양하고 복잡한 수학적 알고리즘(algorithm)이나 프로그래밍(programming) 기술이 부족할 경우 연구의 활성화를 방해하는 높은 진입장벽으로 존재하게 되므로, 본 연구에서는 dPET 연구의 활성화와 손쉬운 사용을 위해서 MATLAB을 이용하여 그래픽 유저(GUI) 기반으로 하여 무료 소프트웨어를 개발하였으며, 개발된 소프트웨어인 DIA-Tool(Dynamic Image analysis-Tool)은 복잡한 수학적 영상 분석 알고리즘을 누구나 손쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 향후, 많은 임상 연구자들이 DIA-Tool을 이용하여 국내의 dPET 연구 발전에 큰 도움이 될 것이라 기대된다.

  • Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and unconjugated estriol (uE3) were added to AFP to make what is commonly known as the Triple test. The Triple test combines results from these three tests and has been a standard screening procedure for several years. Recent studies have demonstrated the usefulness of adding inhibin-A to Down's syndrome risk assessment. The Quad test adds dimeric Inhibin-A (DIA) to the three other markers and uses the same computer program to calculate risk factors. Testing was performed between 14 and 21 weeks of gestation. Sample size were 648 samples and period of study was from 1, July, 2004 to 30, September, 2004. Used analytical methods for AFP, hCG and uE3 were radioimmunoassay (RIA) and dimeric inhibin A was enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Adding dimeric inhibin-A as a fourth marker to the standard triple test increases the detection rate from 62 % to 75 % with a false-positive rate of 5%. The DIA based Quad test has been shown to be the most effective second trimester screening test for Down's syndrome suitable for routine use. Increased DIA values are observed during normal pregnancy where a bimodal pattern response is seen. Values increase during the first trimester, decline after 14 weeks, and re-ascend between 17-25 weeks. Values for DIA may be additionally elevated during a Down's syndrome pregnancy. Dimeric inhibin A is a glycoprotein hormone made by the ovary and placenta. DIA levels are twice as high in Down's syndrome pregnancies. AFP, hCG, and uE3 levels vary with gestational age, and incorrect gestational dating will influence results. DIA levels do not vary substantially with gestational age, resulting in greater screening accuracy. Although the Quad test is an improvement over the Triple test, it is important to underscore the fact that a positive test on both should be done. Most women who initially screen positive will be found to be carrying normal babies when amniocentesis and definitive diagnostic chromosome analysis are done.

  • The psychrophilic organism Colwellia psychrerythraea strain 34H produces extracellular polysaccharide substances to tolerate cold environments. Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate isomerase (GmhA) is essential for producing $\small{D}$-glycero-$\small{D}$-mannoheptose 7-phosphate, a key mediator in the lipopolysaccharide biosynthetic pathway. We determined the crystal structure of GmhA from C. psychrerythraea strain 34H (CpsGmhA, UniProtKB code: Q47VU0) at a resolution of $2.8{\AA}$. The tetrameric structure is similar to that of homologous GmhA structures. Interestingly, one of the catalytic residues, glutamate, which has been reported to be critical for the activity of other homologous GmhA enzymes, is replaced by a glutamine residue in the CpsGmhA protein. We also found differences in the conformations of several other catalytic residues. Extensive structural and sequence analyses reveal that CpsGmhA shows high similarity to Escherichia coli DnaA initiatorassociating protein A (DiaA). Therefore, the CpsGmhA structure reported here may provide insight into the structural and functional correlations between GmhA and DiaA among specific microorganisms.

  • 본 논문에서는 얼굴을 인식하기 위한 쌍대각 2차원 LDA를 제안하였다. 기존의 Dia2DPCA와 Dia2DLDA가 대각 방향 영상들의 행 변화량과 열 변화량 사이의 상관을 제한하기 위하여 제안되어지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 영상들의 행방향으로 동작한다. 제한 방법에 있어서 행방향의 투영 행렬은 기존 방법과 전혀 다르게 대각 방향 얼굴 영상들의 열 변화량을 고려한 클래스 간의 공분산 행렬과 클래스 내의 공분산 행렬을 이용함으로써 얻어진다. 그리고 열방향의 투영 행렬은 대각방향 얼굴 영상들의 행 변화량을 고려한 클래스 간의 공분산 행렬과 클래스 내의 공분산 행렬을 이용함으로써 얻어진다. 좌우 양측의 투영 방법은 투영 행렬들을 좌우로 곱함으로써 적용된다. 그 결과로 특징 행렬의 차원과 계산 시간이 감소된다. ORL 얼굴 데이터베이스에서 수행된 실험들은 Frobenius, Yang, AMD와 같은 3가지 거리 척도를 사용하여 2DPCA, B2DPCA, 2DLDA 등과 같은 다른 얼굴 인식 방법들보다 제안된 방법의 인식률이 높음을 보여준다.

  • The horizontal continuous casting process with the heating mold was adopted for fabricating defect-free 4043 Al alloy rods of 3.2m dia. with mirror surfaces. These rods were drawn into 2.4mm dia. rods for GTAW welding. The GTAW welding tests were carried out by use of these welding rods with 6061 Al alloy as a base metal. After welding, the X-ray tests, tensile strength tests, bending tests, and microstructural analysis of welded zone and HAZ were carried out. The results represented that the welding rods with good surfaces and welding properties could be made by the horizontal continuous casting, and followed by the drawing process.
