Serum and liver metabolites in rats fed red ginseng (RG) were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The mass data were analyzed by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to discriminate between control and RG groups and identify metabolites contributing to this discrimination. The RG group was clearly separated from the control group on PLS-DA scores plot for serum samples, but not liver samples. The major metabolites contributing to the discrimination included lipid metabolites (lysophosphatidylcholine, acyl-carnitine, and sphingosine), isoleucine, nicotinamide, and corticosterone in the serum; the blood levels of all but isoleucine were reduced by RG administration. Not all metabolites were positively correlated with the health benefits of RG. However, the blood levels of lysophosphatidylcholine, which stimulate various diseases, and long-chain acylcarnitines and corticosterone, which activate the stress response, were reduced by RG, suggesting long-term RG might relieve stress and prevent physiological and biological problems.

As the importance of biological resources increases, the conservation technology is becoming important for rarities. This study was conducted to establish an efficient cryopreservation conditions for the Deutzia paniculata, endangered plant species, by using both cryopreservation methods of vitrification and encapsulation. As a result, the sucrose pretreatment seed viability showed up to 30.7% in the treatments. The cryoprotectant treatment improved the viability of the seeds, and was found to be excellent in the vitrification method using PVS3. The vitrification method had over 10% higher germination rate than the seeds preserved by encapsulation. In addition, the germination rate showed a significant difference according to the cryopreservation treatment time, and the germination rate of seeds decreased very much as the long time became longer. Plants germinated from preserved seed in liquid nitrogen showed poor growth compared to untreated, and good growth in PVS3 120 minutes. In addition, the growth of germinated plants by liquid nitrogen treatment time was better in the vitrification method. These results are expected to be useful for long-term preservation of D. paniculata, endangered plants.

Fish exportation using airplanes incurs sizable logistics costs (12,000KRW/kg), according for more than 45% out of the total export cost. Thus, it is unreasonable to quantitatively expand fish exportation by means of air transport. In addition, cases of failing to deliver fish at the right time to the right place occurs frequently due to the limited cargo capacity and insufficient cargo space of airplanes, especially during the peak season. Therefor, a technology that not only minimizes the logistics costs but also transports fish freshly and safely, in the case of long distance exportation to countries such as the United States and Taiwan, should be developed. In this study, a live fish container control system for long distance transportation was designed and implemented. Live flatfish (2,000kg) were selected as the target fish, were transported to the United States to analyze and verify the performance of the a live fish container control ystem and transportation ability.

본 연구에서는 이득 평탄화된 어븀첨가 광섬유 증폭기를 제작하였다. 이득 평탄화 필터는 주기적으로 배열된 금속선을 이용하여 유도되는 장주기 광섬유 격자로 구현하였다. 980 nm 펌핑 레이저에 의해 증폭된 자발방출 출력 스펙트럼의 C-밴드 파장 영역에서 이득 리플을 제작된 필터를 적용하여 1 dB 이내로 억제하였다. 다중 채널을 동시에 증폭시킬 수 있는 성능은 페브리 페롯 레이저 다이오드를 이용하여 측정하였고 C-밴드에서 20 dB 이상 증폭시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이 증폭기는 파장분할 다중화 방식의 장거리 광 전송에서 다중 채널을 동시에 증폭하는 효과적인 방법을 제공할 것이다.

Purpose: The treatment and long term clinical outcomes of anorectal malformations (ARM) in children have always been the focus of pediatric surgeons. This study aimed at reporting our experience as far as long-term follow-up of ARM in children is concern. Methods: We enrolled patients treated between 1999 and 2019, and established selection criteria to choose appropriate subjects. A validated questionnaire was used to determine long-term quality of life outcomes. Results: Out of a total of 48 patients treated within the study period, 28 were enrolled in this study. Among the latter, more than 35% had at least one long-time complication, and more than 90% had a good lifestyle. Urinary and fecal continence was achieved in more than 95% of the patients using medical devices. Conclusion: This study aimed to bring up new concepts; taking into consideration all aspects of life in patients with ARM, from school life to sexuality, while evaluating fecal and urinary continence. This is essential for the improvement of the skills of the different specialists involved in the management of these patients, and for the implementation of strategies that can improve postoperative function. Most especially, it will also help improve communication between doctors to ensure an adequate transition of these children into adult life.

본 연구에서는 띠형 섬유보강재의 인장특성, 크리프 변형, 내시공성 및 내구성을 평가하기 위한 일련의 장기성능 평가시험을 수행하였다. 또한 시험결과를 바탕으로 장기설계인장강도 산정을 위한 강도감소계수를 평가하였다. 먼저, 크리프 변형 특성을 평가하기 위해 단계 등온법과 시간-온도 중첩법을 이용하였으며, 크리프 감소계수는 1.6을 적용하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 평가되었다. 다음으로 입도 조정된 화강풍화토를 성토재로 사용하여 수행한 내시공성 시험 결과, 보강재의 강도특성에 영향을 미치는 원사의 손상이 거의 없는 것으로 확인되어, 장기설계인장강도에 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로 내구성 평가 결과, 내화학성, 내미생물 및 내후성을 고려한 강도감소계수는 1.1을 적용하는 것이 합리적인 것으로 평가되었다.

This study investigated concentration of metal ions in sediment and intersexuality in Polymesoda erosa and Lutraria lutraria. Samples were collected from five areas of Ha Long Bay in October, 2012. The concentration of metal ions showed that Al ($37390.0{\pm}11816.5mg/kg$) was highest and Mn ($360.4{\pm}101.4mg/kg$) was second high concentration. Cd ($0.04{\pm}0.05mg/kg$) was lowest. The intersexuality was 14.3% in P. erosa and 9.1% in L. lutraria that observed only in female.

The present investigations introduce the shell-finite element discretization for the dynamics of slender marine pipelines. A long catenary pipeline, corresponding to a particular Steel Catenary Riser (SCR), is investigated under long-standing cyclic loading. The long structure is divided into smaller tubular parts which are discretized with 8-node planar shell elements. The transient analysis of each part is carried out by the implicit time integration scheme, within a Finite Elements (FE) solver. The time varying external loads and boundary conditions on each part are the results of a prior solution of an integrated line-dynamics model. The celebrated FE approximation can produce a more detailed stress distribution along the structural surface than the simplistic "line-dynamics" approach.

This paper considers the design of the effective controllers for the plant with an integrator and a long deadtime. The structure of the new DTC(DeadTime Compensator) that has an additive filter is proposed. Our DTC shows the improved performance in set-point response and disturbance rejection. Especially the bad effect of the long deadtime in the disturbance rejection is fairly reduced by using the additive filter. Illustrative examples are provided to show the availability of the proposed controller.

The long-term variability of sea surface temperature in the East China Sea was reviewed based mainly on published literatures. Though the quantitative results are not the same, it is generally shown that sea surface temperature is increasing especially in recent years with the rate of increase about $0.03^{\circ}C$/year. Other meaningful results presented in the literatures is that the difference of water properties between layers upper and lower than the thermocline in summer shows an increasing trend both in temperature and salinity, suggesting that the stratification has been intensified. As a mechanism by which to evaluate the wintertime warming trend in the region, the weakening of wind strength, which is related to the variation of sea level pressure and atmospheric circulation in the western North Pacific and northern Asian continent, is suggested in the most of related studies.
