광중합 수복재의 중합시 발생되는 틈을 최소화하기 위해 최근 여러 가지 광중합기와 중합방법이 개발되고 있는데, 할로겐 광과 플라즈마광, LED광으로 광조사를 했을 때 미세누출을 비교하는 실험을 통해 임상에 적용해보고자 한다. 치아의 협설면에 5급와동을 형성하고, 광중합레진을 수복하여 광중합한 뒤 24시간 후 2% 메틸렌블루 용액에 담근 다음 치아를 협설로 절단하여 미세누출도를 평가하였다. 통계처리는 Kruskal-Wallis test와 Man-Whitney test를 사용하여 각 군의 유의성을 검정하였다. 법랑질에서 Dyract AP로 충전한 경우 광원에 따른 미세누출의 차이는 없었으나, $Z250^{(R)}$으로 충전한 경우에서는 $Flipo^{(R)}$가 FreeLight $2^{(R)}$혹은 $TriLight^{(R)}$보다 미세누출이 컸다. 충전재에 따른 법랑질 변연에서의 미세누출을 측정한 결과 LED광 혹은 할로겐 광중합시 복합레진이 컴포머에 비해 작은 미세누출을 보였으나, $Flipo^{(R)}$에서는 두 재료간의 차이가 없었다. 상아질변에서는 $Flipo^{(R)}$와 FreeLight $2^{(R)}$로 중합시 $Z250^{(R)}$이 Dyract AP보다 미세누출이 작았으나, $TriLight^{(R)}$에서는 두 재료간의 차이가 없었다. 이번 연구에서 $Z250^{(R)}$이 Dyract AP보다는 미세누출이 작았으며, $Z250^{(R)}$으로 충전한 경우 에나멜변연에서 $Flipo^{(R)}$가 FreeLight $2^{(R)}$나 $TriLight^{(R)}$보다 미세누출이 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 기존의 할로겐광(XL 3000, 3M, U.S.A.)과 비교하여 새로운 중합광원인 플라즈마광(Flipo, LOKKI, France)과 Light Emitting Diode(이하 LED, Elipar Free light, 3M, U.S.A.)광의 효율성을 평가할 목적으로 시도되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 첫째, 일정 광도 하에서 플라즈마광과 LED광의 중합시간에 따른 중합도의 변화를 검토하여 할로겐광의 미세경도와 유사한 광조사 시간을 알아보고, 둘째, 중합반경에 따라 균일한 중합이 이루어지는지를 보기 위해 광조사 부위의 중심부와 외측 변연부에서의 중합도의 차이를 비교하였다. 2mm 두께의 복합레진 시편의 상면과 하면의 미세경도의 측정을 통해 중합도를 평가, 비교해 본 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Z-100의 미세경도 측정치 비교에서, 대조군인 할로겐광을 40초 적용한 경우는, 플라즈마광 6-9초, LED광 40-60초를 적용한 경우와 유사하였다(P>0.05). 2. Tetric Flow의 미세경도에서는 대조군인 할로겐광을 40초 적용한 경우, 플라즈마광 9초, LED광 40-60초를 적용한 경우와 유사하였다(P>0.05). 3. Dyract AP의 경우, 할로겐광 40초를 조사한 것은, 플라즈마광 6-9초, LED광 20-40초를 적용한 경우와 유사하게 나타났다(P>0.05). 4. Fuji II LC에서는 할로겐광을 40초 적용한 경우가, 플라즈마광 9초, LED광 20-60초를 적용한 경우와 유사하게 나타났다(P>0.05). 5. Fuji II LC를 제외한 모든 시료에서 할로겐, 플라즈마, LED광 모두 시편의 중앙에서 외측으로 갈수록 미세경도는 유의하게 감소되었다(p<0.05).

Over the last decade, deep studies of nearby galaxies have led to the discovery of vast stellar envelopes that are often rich in substructure. These components are naturally predicted in models of hierarchical galaxy assembly, and their observed properties place important constraints on the amount, nature, and history of satellite accretion. One of the most effective ways of mapping the peripheral regions of galaxies is through resolved star studies. Using wide-field cameras equipped to 8 m class telescopes, it has recently become possible to extend these studies to systems beyond the Local Group. Located at a distance of 3.6 Mpc, M81 is a prime target for wide-field mapping of its resolved stellar content. In this talk, we present the detailed results from our deep wide-field imaging survey of the M81 group with the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC), on the Subaru Telescope. We report on the analysis of the structures, stellar populations, and metallicities of old dwarf galaxies such as NGC3077, IKN, KDG061, as well as young stellar systems such as Arp's Loop and Holmberg IX. Several candidates for yet-undiscovered faint dwarf galaxies and young stellar clumps in the M81 group will also be introduced. The peculiar galaxy NGC3077 has been classified as the irregular galaxy. Okamoto et al. (2015, ApJ 809, L1) discovered an extended halo structure with S-shape elongated tails, obvious feature of tidal interaction. With a help of numerical simulation by Penarrubia et al. (2009, ApJ 698, 222), we will demonstrate that this tidal feature was formed during the latest close encounters between M81, M82, and NGC 3077, which induced star formation in tidally stripped gas far from the main bodies of galaxies. It is not clear whether the latest tidal interaction was the first close encounters of three galaxies. If NGC3077 is still surrounded by the dark matter halo, it implies that NGC3077 has undergone the first tidal stripping by larger companions. Kinematic studies of inter galactic globular clusters and planetary nebulae would tell us the past history of tidal interaction in this group of galaxies.

손상된 치아의 복구에 사용되는 재료인 치과용 복합레진 Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray, Japan)을 대상으로 디지털 이미지 상관법을 이용하여 광중합 시 발생하는 수축분포를 관찰하였다. 디지털 이미지 상관분석법을 위해, CCD 카메라를 이용하여 광조사 중과 광조사 이후의 촬영 조건을 달리하여 사진을 획득하였다. 광조사중의 최적의 촬영 조건을 설정하기 위하여 노출시간을 0.15 ms부터 0.55 ms까지 0.05 ms 간격으로 촬영한 사전 실험을 통해 촬영 조건을 획득하였다. DIC 분석 결과 복합레진의 비균일한 수축 분포를 관찰하였으며 복합레진의 중심 부분에서 시편의 계면부보다 좀 더 자유로운 유동성으로 더 큰 수축이 발생하였다. 복합레진의 중합수축은 초기 20 s 의 광조사에서 최종경화수축률의 50~60% 수준까지 발생하였다. 이러한 치과용 복합레진의 큰 수축량은 레진/기질계면 근처에서 인장응력이 집중하도록 영향을 주었다.

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease due to infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, and it can cause serious consequences for women's health. To study the virulence factors of this pathogen, T. vaginalis surface proteins were investigated using polyclonal antibodies specific to the membrane fractions of T. vaginalis. The T. vaginalis expression library was constructed by cloning the cDNA derived from mRNA of T. vaginalis into a phage ${\lambda}$ Uni-ZAP XR vector, and then used for immunoscreening with the anti-membrane proteins of T. vaginalis antibodies. The immunoreactive proteins identified included adhesion protein AP65-1, ${\alpha$-actinin, kinesin-associated protein, teneurin, and 2 independent hypothetical proteins. Immunofluorescence assays showed that AP65-1, one of the identified immunogenic clones, is prevalent in the whole body of T. vaginalis. This study led us to identify T. vaginalis proteins which may stimulate immune responses by human cells.

접착제를 통해 치아에 접착되는 상부의 복합레진의 빠른 중합은 접착제층에 높은 중합수축응력을 발생시킨다. 중합수축응력을 경감시키기 위해서, LED 광중합기의 하나인 Elipar FreeLight 2 (3M ESPE, USA)에서는 최초 5초 이내에 광강도를 증가시키는 exponential 중합법을 채택하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 짧은 시간내에 광강도를 증가시키는 exponential 중합법이 복합레진의 초기 중합수축속도를 효과적으로 조절할 수 있는지를 알아보기 위해 접착제 적용 후 상부의 복합레진을 exponential 중합법과 continuous 중합법으로 중합하여 상아질접착제의 미세인장접착강도를 비교하였다. 3M사의 Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus (MP), Single Bond 2 (SB), 및 Adper Prompt (AP)의 세 종류의 접착제를 발치한 대구치의 교합면 상아질에 제조사의 지시에 따라 적용하고, 혼합형 복합레진인 Denfil (Vericom, Korea)을 두 가지광중합방법으로 중합하였다. 접착 후 48시간에 미세인장접착강도를 측정하고, 파절면은 FE-SEM.으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 각각의 접착제에서 중합방법에 따른 접착강도의 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다(Two-way ANOVA, p > 0.05). MP와 SB의 미세인장접착강도는 AP에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.05). 대부분의 파절시편에서는 혼합형 파절이 가장 많이 관찰되었으나, 중합방법에 따른 파절양상의 차이는 없었다. 결론적으로 5초 이내의 짧은 시간에 광강도를 증가시키는 exponential 중합법은 continuous 중합법과 비교하여 상아질접착제의 미세인장접착강도에 영향을 주지 않았다.

Resuspended dust from paved roads in Seoul and Incheon metropolitan areas is regarded as one of the major $PM_{10}$ sources in these areas, according to the recent emission estimates using the emission factors compiled in AP-42. It is well known that the AP-42 model for estimating $PM_{10}$ emissions from paved roads requires information on silt loadings of particular paved roads. The conventional AP-42 method (vacuum swept method) for road silt sampling, however, is expensive, time consuming, and dangerous. These drawbacks led us to develop a Mobile Dust Monitoring System (MDMS) capable of doing real time measurements of silt loading of paved roads, thereby we could get higher resolution silt loading data both in terms of time and space without too much human efforts and danger. In this study, for the real-time measurement of silt loading of paved roads, the principle used in the TRAKER method of U.S. Desert Research Institute was employed and the entire sampling systems including data acquisition system were designed for theses purpose and mounted on a SUV. The correlation between the silt loading measured by vacuum swept method and the speed corrected ${\Delta}Dust$ was derived for the vehicle-based silt loading measurements, and then the variations of silt loading on paved roads were surveyed using the MDMS in test routes of Seoul and Incheon. From the results of real-time measurements, temporal and spatial variations of silt loading data together with the existence of hot spots were observed for paved roads in Seoul and Incheon. The result of this study will be employed to estimate fugitive dust emissions from paved roads.

Rolling shutter operation of CMOS cameras can be utilized in optical camera communications in order to transmit data from an LED to mobile devices such as smart-phones. From temporally modulated light, a spatial flicker pattern is obtained in the captured image, and this is used for signal recovery. Due to the degradation of rolling shutter images caused by light smear, motion blur, and focus blur, the conventional decoding schemes for rolling shutter cameras based on the pattern width for 'OFF' and 'ON' cannot guarantee robust communications performance for practical uses. Aside from conventional techniques, such as polynomial fitting, histogram equalization can be used for blurry light mitigation, but it requires additional computation abilities resulting in burdens on mobile devices. This paper proposes a transition-based decoding scheme for rolling shutter cameras in order to offer simple and robust data decoding in the presence of image degradation. Based on the designed synchronization pulse and modulated data symbols according to the LED dimming level, the decoding process is conducted by observing the transition patterns of two sequential symbol pulses. For this, the extended symbol pulse caused by consecutive symbol pulses with the same level determines whether the second pulse should be included for the next bit decoding or not. The proposed method simply identifies the transition patterns of sequential symbol pulses other than the pattern width of 'OFF' and 'ON' for data decoding, and thus, it is simpler and more accurate. Experimental results ensured that the transition-based decoding scheme is robust even in the presence of blurry lights in the captured image at various dimming levels

Sopungsan (SS) is a traditional Korean decoction used for the treatment of dermatitis. The aim of this study is to confirm whether or not SS has a preventive effect on the development of atopic dermatitis in dinitrochlorobenzene-applied Nc/Nga mice. SS was administered orally to Nc/Nga mice, which led to the remarkable suppression of the development of dermatitis, as determined by a histological examination and the serum IgE levels. Moreover, SS inhibited the production of thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and its mRNA expression in a keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT, which had been stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$). Activation of the nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) or activator protein-1 (AP-1) is one of key steps in the signaling pathways mediating induction of TARC. In this study, SS selectively suppressed NF-${\kappa}B$ activation which may be essential for TARC expression in $TNF-{\alpha}/IFN-{\gamma}$ treated keratinocytes. The inhibitory effect of SS on NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and TARC production might be associated with the anti-dermatitic effects of SS.

A nuclear design feasibility of soluble boron free(SBF core for the medium-sized(600MWe) PWR was investigated. The result conformed that soluble boron free operation could be performed by using current PWR proven technologies. Westinghouse advanced reactor, AP-600 was chosen as a design prototype. Design modification was applied for the assembly design with burnable poison and control rod absorber material. In order to control excess reactivity, large amount of gadolinia integral burnable poison rods were used and B4C was used as a control rod absorber material. For control of bottom shift axial power shape due to high temperature feedback in SBF core, axial zoning of burnable poison was applied to the fuel assemblies design. The combination of enrichment and rod number zoning for burnable poison could make an excess reactivity swing flat within around 1% and these also led effective control on axial power offset and peak pin power, The safety assessment of the designed core was peformed by the calculation of MTC, FTC and shutdown margin. MTC in designed SBF core was greater around 6 times than one of Ulchin unit 3&4. Utilization of enriched BIO(up to 50w1o) in B4C shutdown control rods provided enough shutdown margin as well as subcriticality at cold refueling condition.
