The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical properties of some commercially available mouthwashes and to ascertain whether the mouthwashes accelerated mineral loss in dental enamel. Five commercially available mouthwashes were selected from the three largest malls in Korea: Perio Total 7 Aqua Cool Mint Strong $Fresh^{TM}$ (PS; LG Household & Health Care Ltd.), Garglin $Original^{TM}$ (Dong-A Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), Garglin $Zero^{TM}$ (Dong-A Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), Listerine Naturals $Citrus^{TM}$ (LC; IDS Manufacturing Ltd.), and Listerine Cool $Mint^{TM}$ (LM; IDS Manufacturing Ltd.). The composition, pH, and titratable acidity of the mouthwashes were investigated. Six bovine teeth specimens were prepared for each mouthwash group. Each of the six specimens was individually immersed in 30 ml aliquots of mouthwash for 1 minute, 30 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes, and the samples were placed in a $36.5^{\circ}C$ stirred incubator. The degree of mineral loss (${\Delta}F$) of the tooth surface area exposed to mouthwash, compared with normal teeth, was analyzed by quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital. The difference in ${\Delta}F$ among mouthwash groups was examined by the Kruskal-Wallis H test (${\alpha}=0.05$). The contents of mouthwashes differed between Listerine and other products, and the pH ranged from 4.09 to 6.75. The titratable acidity of PS was the lowest at 0.63 ml and highest at 9.25 ml for LM. Minor mineral loss was observed when dental specimens were immersed in the Listerine products (LC and LM) for more than 90 minutes, but the degree of mineral loss for Listerine products was not statistically significantly different from that for groups without mineral loss. In conclusion, all five commercially available mouthwashes showed no harmful effects on tooth enamel.

In this study, we described the production of an antibody to living modified organisms (LMOs) containing the gene encoding for 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4 EPSPS provides resistance to the herbicide glyphosate (N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine). These LMOs were approved and have recently been used in the feed, food production, and processing industries in South Korea. Highly efficient monoclonal antibody (mAb) production is crucial for developing assays that enable the proper detection and quantification of the CP4 EPSPS protein in LMOs. This study describes the purification and characterization of recombinant CP4 EPSPS protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The production of mAbs was undertaken based on the standard operating procedure of Abclon, Inc.(South Korea), and the purity of the mAbs was assessed using SDS-PAGE. The following five mAb clones were produced: 2F2, 4B9, 6C11, 10A9, and 10G9. To verify the efficiency and specificity of the five developed mAbs, we performed Western blotting analysis using the LM (living modified) cotton crude extracts. All mAbs could detect the CP4 EPSPS protein in the LM cotton traits MON1445 and MON88913 with high specificity, but not in any other LM cottons or non-LM cottons. These data indicate that these five mAbs to CP4 EPSPS could be successfully used for the further development of antibody-based detection methods to target CP4 EPSPS protein in LMOs.

We consider the panel data regression model with nested error componets. In this paper, the several Lagrange Multipler tests for the nested error component model are derived. These tests extend the earlier work of Honda(1985), Moulton and Randolph(1989), Baltagi, et al.(1992) and King and Wu(1997) to the nested error component case. Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to study the performance of these LM tests.

In this paper, we study and compare two types of methods for classification when both continuous and categorical variables are used to describe each individual. One is neural network(NN) method using backpropagation learning(BPL). The other is logistic model(LM) method. Both the NN and LM are based on projections of the data in directions determined from interconnection weights.

전화망을 이용한 음성인식 시스팀에서 출력신호의 반향에 의한 입력신호의 음질 열화현상을 막기위해서 적응디지털 필터를 이용한 반향제거기가 필수적이다. 대표적인 적응 필터 알고리즘인 LMS와 NLMS 들을 각각 이용한 적응 반향제거기들과 입/출력신호의 상관계수를 이용한 개선된 적응 필터 알고리즘의 성능을 비교하였다. 개선된 알고리즘의 경우 NLMS 알고리즘의 빠른 수렴특성을 가지면서도 더블톡(double talk)구간에서의 음질왜곡 현상을 LMS보다 개선시켰다.

A fast algorithm based upon geometry to measure the wafer center and the position of a wafer fiducial mark is developed and implemented on a single-axis aligner. Design issues for a controller when a National Semiconductor's LM629 is used as a PID controller of an aligner are discussed. Performance of an aligner with the algorithm and a LM629 was measured in experiments. The result shows that it takes about 4.1 seconds on average to align a hot wafer supported by metal pins on the chuck.

The tubular field emission lamp (FEL) was developed using a wire type carbon-nano-structure emitter called CNX The luminous efficiency of the tubular FEL (diode type, diameter: ${\varphi}15.5mm$, length: 200mm) has already achieved around 45lm/W and we expect to achieve over 60lm/W within the year.

This paper proposed LM method for solving bin-picking problem in robot vision. It has the processing steps such as image enchancement, image thresholding, region labelling, and moment computation. To determine a target object form bined objects, the modified labelling method is used. To determine position and orientation of holdsite, the moment method is used. Finally, some experiment results are illustated and compared with the results of conventional shrinking algorithm. The proposed LM method has reduced processing time.
