In order to understand the spatial distribution of picocyanobacterial diversity during the summer in the northern East China Sea (ECS), their abundance and genetic diversity were investigated using flow cytometry and barcoded amplicon pyrosequencing of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequences. Synechococcus abundance was high, with a range of $0.2{\times}10^5$ to $1.8{\times}10^5$ cells $ml^{-1}$. However, Prochlorococcus were found only in the eastern part of the studied area, showing a marked variation among stations [range of n.d. (not detected) to $3.3{\times}10^4$ cells $ml^{-1}$]. Eleven Synechococcus clades and five Prochlorococcus ecotypes were found to have a proportion higher than 1% among picocyanobacterial sequences, indicating high picocyanobacterial diversity in the ECS. The picocyanobacterial compositions were markedly different among stations, as well as among depths. Inflow of the Tsushima Warm Current and Changjiang diluted water was of primary importance in determining picocyanobacterial lineage diversity in the studied area. In addition, light intensity and nutrient conditions also appeared to be important in the vertical and horizontal distribution of picocyanobacterial diversity.

The coronagraph is an instrument that enables the investigation of faint features in the vicinity of the Sun, particularly coronal mass ejections (CMEs). So far coronagraphic observations have been mainly used to determine the geometric and kinematic parameters of CMEs. Here, we introduce a new method for the determination of CME temperature using a two filter (4025 Å and 3934 Å) coronagraph system. The thermal motion of free electrons in CMEs broadens the absorption lines in the optical spectra that are produced by the Thomson scattering of visible light originating in the photosphere, which affects the intensity ratio at two different wavelengths. Thus the CME temperature can be inferred from the intensity ratio measured by the two filter coronagraph system. We demonstrate the method by invoking the graduated cylindrical shell (GCS) model for the 3-dimensional CME density distribution and discuss its significance.

The object of this study was to investigate the difference in physical and sensory properties of various premium ice creams. The physical properties of the various ice creams were compared by manufacturing brand. The water contents of the samples differed, with BR having the highest value at 60.5%, followed by NT and CS at 57.8% and 56.9%, respectively. The higher the water content, the lower Brix and milk fat contents in all samples. The density of the samples showed almost similar values in all samples (p>0.05). The viscosity of each ice cream had no effect on the water content in any of the brands. Before melting of the ice cream, the total color difference was dependent on the lightness, especially in the vanilla ice cream, owing to the reflection of light on the surface of the ice crystals. The CS product melted the fastest. In the sensory test, CS obtained a significantly higher sweetness intensity score but a lower score for color intensity, probably due to the smaller difference in total color, by which consumers might consider the color of CS as less intense. From this study, the cold chain system for ice cream distribution might be important to decide the physical properties although the concentration of milk fat is key factor in premium ice cream.

영상에 나타난 콘크리트 표면의 균열은 그 획득 과정에서 빛이나 외부환경에 의해 훼손되는 경우가 발생한다. 또한 콘크리트 표면이 고르지 않고 균열과 표면의 명암도 차이가 거의 없기 때문에 정확한 균열을 검출하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 표면 영상을 밝기에 따라 여러 영역으로 구분하기 위해 ART2 기반 양자화를 적용한다. 양자화된 영역에서 균열과 잡음의 분포를 조사하여 균열과 잡음이 같이 존재하는 영역에서는 잡음 제거 과정을 수행한 후, 균열 후보 영역을 추출하고 균열 후보 영역에서 형태학적인 정보를 이용하여 잡음을 제거하여 최종 균열 영역을 검출한다. 실제 콘크리트 표면 균열 영상을 대상으로 실험 한 결과, 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법보다 콘크리트 표면의 밝은 영역에서 균열이 비교적 정확히 검출되는 것을 확인하였다.

국소 광적응 기능을 가지는 윤곽검출용 시각칩을 픽셀수 $32{\times}32$의 방사형 구조로 CMOS 공정기술을 이용하여 설계 및 제조하였다. 생체의 망막은 넓은 범위의 입력 광강도에 대해서 물체의 윤곽을 검출할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시세포, 수평세포, 쌍극세포로 이루어진 망막의 윤곽검출 기능을 모델링하여 윤곽검출용 인공시각칩을 설계하였다 국소 광적응을 위해 입력 광강도에 따라 수용야의 크기를 국소적으로 바뀌게 하였다. 아울러 단위셀을 방사형으로 배치함으로써 영상데이터의 양을 감소시킴과 동시에 칩의 중심부분으로 갈수록 해상도가 높아지도록 설계하였다. 설계된 칩은 $0.6\;{\mu}m$ double-poly triple-metal 표준 CMOS 공정기술을 이용하여 제조되었으며, HSPICE 시뮬레이션으로 성능을 최적화 시켰다.

목적 : 고감도형광판을 이용하여 2차원적인 선량분포를 실시간으로 얻을 수 있는 quality assurance (QA) 장치의 개발 가능성을 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 고감도형광판을 삽입한 직경 25 cm의 물 팬톰을 제작하였으며 여기에 charge-coupled device (CCD) 카메라를 부착하여 방사선조사 시 형광판에서 발생되는 가시광선에 의한 영상을 얻었고 영상이 가지고 있는 세기정보를 계산하여 픽셀값에 따른 선량분포를 실시간으로 확인하였다. 회전치료 및 세기조절방사선치료를 각각 수행하여 형광판으로부터 얻은 등선량곡선을 치료계획장치에서 계산된 등선량곡선과 비교하였다 결과 : 선량당 빛의 세기의 관계그래프를 이용하여 형광판과 CCD의 감도 보정을 위한 커널(kernel)을 구하였는데 두 개의 에러함수 곱으로 표현할 수 있었다. 회전치료(Arc Therapy)와 intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)에서 형광판으로 측정한 등선량곡선과 치료계획장치에서 계산된 등선량분포 비교에서 고선량에서 최대 8 mm 이내의 오차를 보였다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 개발한 2차원 선량계를 이용하여 물팬톰에서 선량과 빛의 세기와의 관계 및 방사선 조사시간과 빛의 양의 관계를 찾을 수가 있었고 세기조절방사선치료 QA를 위한 실시간 평면선량계로서의 사용 가능성을 보였다.

Fishing efficiency of the squid jigging vessel using the LED and metal halide fishing lamp combination was analyzed to reduce the cost for fishing operation utilizing the fishing light system for high degree of efficiency in the squid jigging fishery (one of the representative coastal and offshore fisheries in Korea). This study aims to improve the nature of existing LED lamps and to develop fan-shaped LED lights having 180W of power and ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ angle of light intensity distribution. The marine experiment for making a comparison of their fishing efficiency was tested by a 9.77 tons fishing vessel from Oct. through Dec. 2012. As a result, experimental fishing vessel showed slightly higher fishing efficiency than the average of metal halide lamp-equipped vessel and 20% energy savings. This means that the combination of LED and metal halide lamps would provide an efficient way to lower energy consumption while maintaining fishing efficiency.

The objective of the present study was to characterize the cell cycles of granulosa cell populations during follicular maturation in cattle by using flow cytometer. Granulosa cells were isolated from bovine preovulatory antral follicles of F1(>10mm), F2(5~20mm), F3(3~4mm) and F4(1~2mm) diameter and fixed and stained with fluorochromes that selectively bine to DNA. Flow cytometer equipped with a laser excitation system was used to analyze the intensity of fluorescence from stained cells. Forward angle light-scatter(FSC) and 90$^{\circ}$light-scatter(SSC) signals were adopted to measure the size and the granularity of granulosa cells. As a results of FSC/SSC analysis, granulosa cell populations(G1 phase of cell cycle) from each follicle were relatively regular in size and granularity, regardless of follicular size. However, their distribution in granularity was greater than that in size. Most of granulosa cell populations collected from each follicle were distributed in G0/G1, S and G2/M phases. As the follicles approached to ovulation the percentage of cells in the proliferative phases of cell cycle (S and G2/M) decreased significantly, but there was a concomitant increase in the percentage of granulosa cells in G1 phase. Therefore, these data indicate the proportion of main populations to cell cycle of granulosa cells may be changed from proliferative phase to G1 phase during follicular maturation in cattle.

We investigated sterilization characteristics of UV lights by counting the number of bacteria units with varying sterilization time and distance from the light source. We focused on an idea that UV light of 184.9 nm could generate ozone and developed a new sterilizer. The UV-ozone duplex system sterilized bacteria faster than UV-only sterilizers. To reduce shadowing effects by target objects, we used UV transparent quartz plate as a support and put a reflecting plate. Distribution of UV irradiation intensity and ozone supply were analyzed by a 3D model and measured by a semiconductor UV sensor. But even with an Al reflector, multi-layered pens could not be treated properly from UV irradiation only. Ozone generating lamp could treat more uniformly multi-layered pens with a stirring fan by supplying ozone to shadowed surfaces.

CLC는 주기적인 나선구조 때문에 빛을 선택적으로 반사하는 특성을 보이는데, 반사 파장대역이 넓은 CLC를 광반응에 의한 상 분리 현상을 이용하여 제조하였다. CLC 액정 셀에 의하여 반사되는 빛의 파장은 노광하는 빛의 세기가 작을수록 그리고 UV 흡수 dye의 양이 증가할수록 범위가 증가하여 초기 50 nm의 반사 파장대역을 300 nm까지 넓힐 수 있었다. 광경화된 CLC 액정 셀 내에 상 분리에 의하여 형성된 다양한 CLC 피치 분포를 SEM으로 관찰하였고, ATR-IR 실험을 이용하여 CLC피치 분포가 넓어지는 것이 상 분리에 의한 것임을 확인하였다.
