  • We report the optical follow-up observations of three long γ-ray burst events, GRB 201020A, GRB 201103B and GRB 210104A by the network of telescopes in the SomangNet project. We show light curves, color evolution and SED evolution, and fit them to a single power law function to derive decay index and compare their properties with other long GRBs samples. Also, we show a good observational example that 0.4-1m class telescopes in SomangNet have potential to catch dim light from high red shift object (R>22 mag) by deep imaging. In conclusion, we found that three GRBs have optical afterglow properties of long GRB and our results are consistent with the reports of high energy analysis.

  • The marine sand-dwelling dinoflagellate Polykrikos lebourae possesses obvious gold-brown pigmented plastids as well as taeniocyst-nematocyst complex structures. Despite of the presence of the visible plastids, previous attempts to establish this species in culture all failed and thus the unavailability of cultures of this species has posed a major obstacle to further detailed exploration of ecophysiology of the dinoflagellate. Here, we isolated P. lebourae from sandy sediment of an intertidal flat on Korean western coast, successfully established it in culture, and have been maintaining the stock culture over the past 3 years. Using this stock culture, we explored phagotrophy and potential prey resources of P. lebourae, growth and grazing responses of P. lebourae to different prey organisms, the effect of prey concentration on growth and grazing rates and gross growth efficiency (GGE) of P. lebourae when fed three different prey organisms, and the growth kinetics of P. lebourae under different light regimes. P. lebourae captured prey cells using a tow filament and then phagocytized them through the posterior end. The dinoflagellate was capable of ingesting a broad range of prey species varying in size, but not all prey species tested in this study supported its sustained growth. GGE of P. lebourae was extremely high at low prey concentration and moderate or low at high prey concentrations, indicating that P. lebourae grows heterotrophically at high prey concentrations but its growth seems to be more dependent on a certain growth factor or photosynthesis of plastids derived from the prey. In the presence of prey in excess, P. lebourae grew well at moderate light intensity of $40{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$, but did not grow at dim and high (10 or $120{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$) light intensities. Our results suggest that the benthic dinoflagellate P. lebourae is an obligate mixotroph, requiring both prey and light for sustained growth and survival.

  • Red light (RL) marked higher weight gain (WG) and preference of broilers compared to other light colors. This study aimed to investigate how different intensities of RL affect the performance, behavior and welfare of broilers. RL treatments were T1 = high intensity (320 lux), T2 = medium intensity (20 lux); T3 = dim intensity (5 lux), T4 = control/white light at (20 lux) provided on 20L:4D schedule and T5 = negative control; 12 hours dark: 12 hours day light. Cobb strain broilers were used in a Complete Randomize Design with 6 replicates. WG, water/feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality, behavior and welfare were assessed. At 35 d, significantly (p<0.05) highest body weight ($2,147.06g{\pm}99$) was recorded by T3. Lowest body weight ($1,640.55g{\pm}56$) and FCR (1.34) were recorded by T5. Skin weight was the only carcass parameter showed a significant (p<0.05) influence giving the highest (56.2 g) and the lowest (12.6 g) values for T5 and T1 respectively. Reduced welfare status indicated by significantly (p<0.05) higher foot pad lesions, hock burns and breast blisters was found under T3, due to reduced expression of behavior. Highest walking ($2.08%{\pm}1%$) was performed under T1 in the evening during 29 to 35 days. Highest dust bathing ($3.01%{\pm}2%$) was performed in the morning during 22 to 28 days and highest bird interaction (BI) ($4.87%{\pm}4%$) was observed in the evening by T5 during 14 to 21 days. Light $intensity{\times}day$ $session{\times}age$ interaction was significantly (p<0.05) affected walking, dust bathing and BI. Light intensity significantly (p<0.05) affected certain behaviors such as lying, eating, drinking, standing, walking, preening while lying, wing/leg stretching, sleeping, dozing, BI, vocalization, idling. In conclusion, birds essentially required provision of light in the night for better performance. Exposed to 5 lux contributed to higher WG, potentially indicating compromised welfare status. Further researches are suggested to investigate RL intensity based lighting regimen that favors for both production and welfare of Broilers.

  • 영지버섯 원목재배시 발생한 백색자실체에서 2핵 균사체 5균주를 분리하였다. 이들 균주의 자실체는 정상적인 갓, 자실층, 대로 분화되지 않았고, 발생해서 3개월 후에도 착색되지 않았다. 이들 백색자실체 형성균주와 재배용 균주는 배지상에서의 생장률, 균총의 색 그리고 비정형자실체(atypical fruiting structure; AFS) 형성에 차이를 보였다. 백색자실체 형성균주는 환기와 광 조건하에서 갈색의 AFS를 쉽게 형성하였다. Gl-010과 Gl-011 균주는 암상태와 BLB 광을 조사하였을 때에는 AFS를 형성하지 않았지만, 가시광선하에서는 AES를 형성하였다. 이들 균주의 AFS형성은 $0.5{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ 이하의 약한 광에서 잘 형성되었고, 그 이상의 광도에서는 억제를 받았다. 한편, Gl-010과 Gl-011 균주 이외의 4 균주는 암상태와 BLB에서도 AFS를 잘 형성하였으나, 이들의 모균주인 Gl-030은 어때한 광 조건하에서도 AFS를 형성하지 못하였다. AFS에서 형성된 담자포자를 발아시켜 얻은 단핵 균사체는 모균주와 화합성이었다.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the change of impression by comparing the uniformity lighting with the compound lighting. In previous study, we proposed a light controlling method to harmonize daylight from a window and artificial lights from a ceiling and obtained the results to support our method. We referred this method as the Adjusted Compound-Lighting Model (AC Model). The experiment is carried out with the scaled-models and mock-up spaces that were supposed to be an office space. One is lit by the uniform lighting and the other by the compound lighting in each experimental space. In order to present varying illuminance distributions, the two variables were used in this study. Subjects were asked to evaluate the point of difference by semantic differential rating on their overall impression after comparing with two rooms. The results showed that the impressions of compound lighting were more positive score than that of uniformity lighting on the items of 'dim-bright', 'dislike-like', 'artificial-natural' and 'closed-open', and that there was no significant difference in impressions between two spaces on other items.

  • Phytofluene를 dichloromethane에 용해하고 dry ice 상에서 ozonolysis를 행하였다. Ozonolysis에 의해 생성된 화합물은 silica gel chromatography를 행 하여 분획하고, photodiode array detector를 이용하여 ODS-HPLC로 분석하였다. Phytofluene을 5% Tween 40 수용액에 용해하고 37$^{\circ}C$, 24시간 자동산화시킨 결과, 다수의 carbonyl 및 acidic 화합물의 생성되었다. Phytofluene의 자동산화로부터 생성된 carbonyl 화 합물의 대부분은 ozonolysis에 얻어진 산화개열산물이 나타내는 HPLC상의 거동과 분광학적 특성이 서로 잘 일치하였다. 또한 phytofluene의 자동산화에 의해 생성된 중앙개열 acidic 화합물은 생성활성을 나타내는 4,5-didehydrogeranyl geranyl acid 표준품과 동일한 분광학 적 특성을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 in vitro 상의 산화적 조건하에서 phytofluene의 자동산 화에 의해 eccentric cleavage가 생성됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • Rhodopsin, a dim-light receptor, is a model system for the study of G protein-coupled receptors that transduce extracellular signals into cells. To study the molecular mechanisms of visual systems in fish, the rod opsin gene of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus was characterized. The full-length P. olivaceus opsin gene was obtained by PCR amplification of genomic DNA, as well as cDNA synthesis. A comparison of clones obtained from both methods indicated that the olive flounder rod opsin gene lacks introns. Sequence analysis of the opsin gene indicated that it contains a 1,056-bp open reading frame encoding 352 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contains features of typical rod opsins, such as sites for Schiff's base formation (K296) and its counterion (E113), disulfide formation (C110 and C187), and palmitoylation (C322 and C323). An opsin sequence alignment showed the highest similarity between P. olivaceus and Solea solea (95.1%), followed by Hippoglossus hippoglossus (94.5%). An opsin phylogenetic tree revealed a close relationship between olive flounder and teleost rod opsins.

  • ShadowCam is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration Advanced Exploration Systems funded instrument hosted onboard the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) satellite. By collecting high-resolution images of permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), ShadowCam will provide critical information about the distribution and accessibility of water ice and other volatiles at spatial scales (1.7 m/pixel) required to mitigate risks and maximize the results of future exploration activities. The PSRs never see direct sunlight and are illuminated only by light reflected from nearby topographic highs. Since secondary illumination is very dim, ShadowCam was designed to be over 200 times more sensitive than previous imagers like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera (LROC NAC). ShadowCam images thus allow for unprecedented views into the shadows, but saturate while imaging sunlit terrain.

  • 본 논문에서는 실내 조명 변화에 따라 마커 인식률의 차이가 커지는 현상을 해결하기 위해, 마커 인식을 위한 전처리 단계인 이진화 단계에서 최적의 임계값을 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 밝은 조명, 어두운 조명, 불특정 물체에 따른 그림자 현상이 나타나는 실내 환경에서 영상의 평균 명도값, 표준편차 및 최대편차를 고려하여 최적 임계값을 결정한다. 특히 그림자에 의한 그라데이션 현상을 해결하기 위해 이미지의 밝기에 따른 가중치를 적용함으로써 인식률을 향상시켰다. 제안방법은 다양한 조명환경에서 $720{\times}480$ 해상도의 영상을 처리하는데 빠른 처리 속도와 높은 인식률을 보여 실내 내비게이션에 적합할 것으로 기대된다.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the change of impression by comparing the uniformity lighting with the compound lighting. In previous study, we proposed a light controlling method to harmonize daylight from a window and artificial lights from a ceiling and obtained the results to support our method. We referred this method as the Adjusted Compound-Lighting Model (AC Model). The model claims that lighting in a room with a side-window are perceived as harmonious when the overall light distribution in the room is well approximated by a compound of lights from the window and the entire ceiling. The experiment is carried out with the scaled-models and mock-up spaces that were supposed to be an office space. One is lit by the uniform lighting and the other by the compound lighting in each experimental space. In order to present varying illuminance distributions, thetwo variables were used in this study. One was the ratio of thelight from the window and ceiling in the standard and evaluation box. The standard box was provided by the ratio of 20% to 40% from the window and 80% to 60% from the ceiling as two lighting ratio patterns [Wu20(=Cu80) and Wu40(=Cu60)]. And the evaluation box was provided by the light ratio of 0% to 40 from the window and 100% to 60% from the ceiling [Wcp0(=Ccp100), Wcp20(=Ccp80) and Wcp40(=Ccp60)]. The other variable was themean illuminance level in both boxes. Two level of mean illuminance (700lx and 300lx) were used in this experiment. Each lighting condition was established at equal horizontal mean illuminance level, held constant near 700lx or 300lx in both boxes. Both of them were similar in the shape of distribution when there were same ratios of lights from the window and the ceiling. Subjects were asked to evaluate the point of difference by semantic differential rating on their overall impression after comparing with two rooms. The results showed that the impressions of compound lighting were more positive score than that of uniformity lighting on the items of 'dim-bright', 'dislike-like', 'artificial-natural' and 'closed-open', and that there was no significant difference in impressions between two spaces on other items.
