The state-of-art third generation wave prediction model WAM was applied to the Korean seas for a winter monsoon period of January 1997. The wind field used in the present study is the global NSCAT-ERS/NCEP blended winds, which was further interpolated using a bi-cubic spline interpolator to fine grid limited area shallow water regime surrounding the Korean seas. To evaluate and investigate the accuracy of WAM, the hindcasted wave heights are compared with observed data from two shallow water buoys off Chil-Bal and Duk-Juk. A detailed study has been carried with the various meteorological parameters in observed buoy data and its inter-dependency on model computed wave fields was also investigated. The RMS error between the observation and model computed wave heights results to 0.489 for Chil-Bal and 0.417 for Duk-Juk. A similar comparison between the observation and interpolated winds off Duk-Juk show RMS error of 2.28 which suggest a good estimate for wave modelling studies.

For the quantitative surface analysis of multicomponent materials, algorithms for the compensation of the matrix effect and surface compositional change by ion beam sputtering must be established and reference materials having certified compositions are necessary. These certified reference material (CRM)s are needed for the improvement of instrument performance, inter-laboratory comparison and quantitative surface analysis. Surface analysis group of KRISS developed alloy thin film CRMs by and ion beam sputter deposition system and in-situ surface analysis system to control the composition of alloy thin films The real compositions of the CRMs were certified by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).

We study the dynamic burst assembly based on traffic prediction and offset and delay differentiation in optical burst switching network. To improve existing burst assembly mechanism and build an adaptive flexible optical burst switching network, an approach called quality of service (QoS) based adaptive dynamic assembly (QADA) is proposed in this paper. QADA method takes into account current arrival traffic in prediction time adequately and performs adaptive dynamic assembly in limited burst assembly time (BAT) range. By the simulation of burst length error, the QADA method is proved better than the existing method and can achieve the small enough predictive error for real scenarios. Then the different dynamic ranges of BAT for four traffic classes are introduced to make delay differentiation. According to the limitation of BAT range, the burst assembly is classified into one-dimension limit and two-dimension limit. We draw a comparison between one-dimension and two-dimension limit with different prediction time under QoS based offset time and find that the one-dimensional approach offers better network performance, while the two-dimensional approach provides strict inter-class differentiation. Furthermore, the final simulation results in our network condition show that QADA can execute adaptive flexible burst assembly with dynamic BAT and achieve a latency reduction, delay fairness, and offset time QoS guarantee for different traffic classes.

The aim of this study is to investigate how the gut microbiome shifts when pigs were exposed with low concentrations of mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) in feed. Fifteen of pigs, 15 kg in weight which were negative for PRRSV and PCV2 were purchased, acclimatized until 20 kg in weight, and randomly divided into 3 groups; the DON group (DON treated), the ZEN group (ZEN treated) and the CTL (untreated negative control). DON and ZEN administered to each group for 30 days at 0.8 mg/kg (800 ppb) and 0.20 mg/kg (200 ppb) in feed, respectively. After extraction of microbial DNA from intestine and fecal samples, sequencing procedures were performed in the Ion PGM using an Ion 316 V2 chip and Ion PGM sequencing 400 kit. The results suggested that the bacterial communities in duodenum, jejunum and ileum of the DON and ZEN groups presented low-abundant OTUs compared with the CTL group. OTUs in cecum, colon and feces were determined more than in small intestine of all three groups. However, the CTL group yielded more OTUs than other two groups in inter-group comparison. It is not fully clarified how the richness and abundance in microbiome functions in the health condition of animals, however, the exposure to DON and ZEN has caused microbial population shifts representing microbial succession and changes following the diversity and abundance of porcine gut microbiome. The metabolomic analysis correlate with microbiome analysis is needed for further study.

The current research proposes an innovative finite element model established within the context of higher-order beam theory to examine the bending and buckling behaviors of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beams resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundations. This two-node beam element includes four degrees of freedom per node and achieves inter-element continuity with both C¹ and C⁰ continuities for kinematic variables. The isoparametric coordinate system is implemented to generate the elementary stiffness and geometric matrices as a way to enhance the existing model formulation. The weak variational equilibrium equations are derived from the principle of virtual work. The mechanical properties of FG-CNTRC beams are considered to vary gradually and smoothly over the beam thickness. The current investigation highlights the influence of porosity dispersions through the beam cross-section, which is frequently omitted in previous studies. For this reason, this analysis offers an enhanced comprehension of the mechanical behavior of FG-CNTRC beams under various boundary conditions. Through the comparison of the current results with those published previously, the proposed finite element model demonstrates a high rate of efficiency and accuracy. The estimated results not only refine the precision in the mechanical analysis of FG-CNTRC beams but also offer a comprehensive conceptual model for analyzing the performance of porous composite structures. Moreover, the current results are crucial in various sectors that depend on structural integrity in specific environments.

This study established the genetic characterisation of 10 microsporidian isolates infecting non-mulberry silkworms (Antheraea assamensis and Samia cynthia ricini) collected from biogeographical forest locations in the State of Assam, India, using PCR-based markers assays: inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). A Nosema type species (NIK-1s_mys) was used as control for comparison. The shape of mature microsporidian spores were observed oval to elongated, measuring 3.80 to $4.90{\mu}m$ in length and 2.60 to $3.05{\mu}m$ in width. Fourteen ISSR primers generated reproducible profiles and yielded 178 fragments, of which 175 were polymorphic (98%), while 16 RAPD primers generated reproducible profiles with 198 amplified fragments displaying 95% of polymorphism. Estimation of genetic distance coefficients based on dice coefficients method and clustering with un-weighted pair group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA) analysis was done to unravel the genetic diversity of microsporidians infecting Indian muga and eri silkworm. The similarity coefficients varied from 0.385 to 0.941 in ISSR and 0.083 to 0.938 in RAPD data. UPGMA analysis generated dendrograms with two microsporidian groups, which appear to be different from each other. Based on Euclidean distance matrix method, 2-dimensional distribution also revealed considerable variability among different identified microsporidians. Clustering of these microsporidian isolates was in accordance with their host and biogeographic origin. Both techniques represent a useful and efficient tool for taxonomical grouping as well as for phylogenetic classification of different microsporidians in general and genotyping of these pathogens in particular.

마비성 패류 독소(Paralytic shellfish poisoning, PSP)는 유해 조류에 의해 생성되며, 독소에 노출된 수산물을 섭취하였을 때 중독이 발생한다. 수산물 중 PSP를 검출하는 표준 시험법인 Mouse bioassay (MBA)는 낮은 검출한계와 동물 윤리 문제로 대체 시험법의 개발 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 대체 시험법 중, PSP가 신경 세포막의 Na⁺ 채널을 차단하는 기전을 이용한 마우스 뇌신경 모세포종 세포 기반 시험법(Neuro-2a assay)의 표준화를 위한 노력이 대두되고 있다. Neuro-2a assay의 원리는 Neuro-2a 세포주에 Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase 억제제인 Ouabain(O)과 Na⁺ 채널 활성화제인 Veratridine (V)을 처리하여 과도한 Na⁺ 유입으로 인한 세포사멸을 유도한 상태에서, Na⁺ 채널 억제제인 PSP를 처리하게 되면 Na⁺ 유입이 차단되어 세포가 생존하는 것을 측정하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 PSP 검출을 위한 Neuro-2a assay를 국내 연구 환경에 맞게 다양한 매개변수를 개선하여 최적 시험법을 확립하고자 하였다. 고려한 매개변수들은 세포밀도, 배양 조건 및 PSP 처리 조건 등으로, 그 결과는 아래와 같다. 초기 세포밀도는 40,000 cells/well로, 세포 배양시간 및 처리시간은 각각 24시간으로 설정하였다. 또한 최적 O/V 농도는 500/50 μM로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 PSP 중 Saxitoxin (STX)에 대해서 O/V 처리가 된 상태에서 S자형 용량-반응 그래프가 도출되는 8가지 농도(368~47,056 fg/μl)를 확인하였고, Neuro-2a assay의 실험실 간 변동성 비교를 통해, 실험의 적정성 확인을 위한 5가지 Quality Control Criteria와 실험 데이터의 신뢰가능 범위(Data Criteria) 6가지를 설정하였다. 확 립된 조건으로 Neuro-2a assay를 진행한 결과 반수영향농도(EC₅₀) 값은 약 1,800~3,500 fg/μl로 나타났다. 실험실 간 변동성 비교 결과, Quality Control Criteria 값 및 Data criteria 값의 변동계수(coefficients of variation (CVs))가 1.98~29.15% 범위로 산출되어 실험의 적정성 및 재현성이 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통해 우리나라에서 활용할 수 있는 PSP 검출용 Neuro-2a assay 시험법의 최적 조건 및 5가지 Quality control 기준을 제시하였고, PSP 중 대표적인 독소인 STX을 대상으로 Neuro-2a assay를 실시한 결과 유의한 EC₅₀ 값을 산출할 수 있었으며, 향후 국내 수산물을 대상으로 MBA를 대체할 수 있는 PSP 검출법으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

방사성동위원소인 $^{14}C$(반감기 5,730년)는 삼중수소와 함께 수리지질학에서 지하수의 체류시간을 평가할 수 있는 유용한 도구로 활용된다. 그러나 국내에서는 $^{14}C$ 분석을 위한 전처리 기술의 부재로 인하여 오랜 체류시간을 지닌 국내 지하수 및 수문체계에 대한 평가가 이루어지지 뜻하였다. 그동안 $^{14}C$은 주로 벤젠합성법을 이용하여 분석되었지만, 실험과정이 복잡하고 많은 시간이 요구되어 지하수연구에 제한적으로 이용되어 왔다. 최근에 이산화탄소의 직접흡수법을 이용한 $^{14}C$분석법이 개발되었으며, 국내 지하수연구에도 적용될 수 있는 $^{14}C$ 분석법을 확립하였다. 분석과정 및 결과의 신뢰성을 위하여 국제인정기관(CSIRO, 호주)과의 교차분석을 수행하였다. 앞으로 $^{14}C$ 분석은 국내 심부지하수의 유동 연구에 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
