  • 본 연구에서는 비타민 C의 산화로 인해 발생하는 활성산소의 하나인 과산화수소에 착목하여 비타민 C용액 중에서 과산화수소의 발생에 관한 model 실험을 하였다. 나아가 이러한 결과를 세포에 적용하여 비타민 C에 의한 세포독성의 본체에 e하여 고찰하였다. 3T6 섬유아세포의 증식에 미치는 비타민 C의 적절한 농도를 알아내기 위하여, DMEM-10배지에 비타민 C 0.01~2mM 첨가하여 세포배양을 하였다. 0.01 mM과 0.05mM의 비타민 C를 첨가한 경우 무첨가와 비교하여 세포수가 증가하였으나, 사람의 혈장농도의 약 6배에 달하는 0.3mM이상에서는 증식율이 저하하였으며, 2mM의 농도에서는 거의 증식하지 않고 사멸하는 결과가 나타났다. 배지 중의 과산화수소가 비타민 C로부터 유래된 것인지를 확인하기 위하여 비타민 C 첨가후 2시간까지는 급속히 과산화수소가 발생되었고 그 후는 완만히 증가하여, 과산화수소의 발생은 비타민 C의 농도에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 세포배양시 비타민 C를 배지중에 용해하여 사용하므로 배지중의 비타민 C에 의한 과산화수소의 발생을 완전하게 억제하기 위해서는 용액 중의 혈청농도가 70% 이상 요구되어지므로 세포배양에는 적용하기 어려운 것으로 밝혀졌다. 고농도의 비타민 C가 세포에 대하여 독성을 나타내는 원인이 과산화수소의 발생 때문이라고 추측되어, 과산화수소분해효소인 catalase를 배지중에 첨가하여 비타민 C에 의한 세포독성의 여부를 조사하였다. Catalase에 의한 세포독성 억제효과 검토에서 0.5mM 농도의 비타민 C에서 발생하는 과산화수소에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 0.5mM 농도 이하의 비타민 C는 세포증식을 촉진하였으나 0.3mM이상의 비타민 C 농도에서는 오히려 세포증식의 억제가 초래되었고, catalase를 첨가한 경우 비타민 C에 의한 세포독성은 발현되지 않았으므로, 비타민 C는 다른 생체성분과 상호작용 또는 자신의 존재농도에 의해 세포증식을 촉진 또는 억제함을 알 수 있다.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess whether a deep learning (DL) algorithm could enable simultaneous noise reduction and edge sharpening in low-dose lumbar spine CT. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 52 patients (26 male and 26 female; median age, 60.5 years) who had undergone CT-guided lumbar bone biopsy between October 2015 and April 2020. Initial 100-mAs survey images and 50-mAs intraprocedural images were reconstructed by filtered back projection. Denoising was performed using a vendor-agnostic DL model (ClariCT.AITM, ClariPI) for the 50-mAS images, and the 50-mAs, denoised 50-mAs, and 100-mAs CT images were compared. Noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and edge rise distance (ERD) for image sharpness were measured. The data were summarized as the mean ± standard deviation for these parameters. Two musculoskeletal radiologists assessed the visibility of the normal anatomical structures. Results: Noise was lower in the denoised 50-mAs images (36.38 ± 7.03 Hounsfield unit [HU]) than the 50-mAs (93.33 ± 25.36 HU) and 100-mAs (63.33 ± 16.09 HU) images (p < 0.001). The SNRs for the images in descending order were as follows: denoised 50-mAs (1.46 ± 0.54), 100-mAs (0.99 ± 0.34), and 50-mAs (0.58 ± 0.18) images (p < 0.001). The denoised 50-mAs images had better edge sharpness than the 100-mAs images at the vertebral body (ERD; 0.94 ± 0.2 mm vs. 1.05 ± 0.24 mm, p = 0.036) and the psoas (ERD; 0.42 ± 0.09 mm vs. 0.50 ± 0.12 mm, p = 0.002). The denoised 50-mAs images significantly improved the visualization of the normal anatomical structures (p < 0.001). Conclusion: DL-based reconstruction may enable simultaneous noise reduction and improvement in image quality with the preservation of edge sharpness on low-dose lumbar spine CT. Investigations on further radiation dose reduction and the clinical applicability of this technique are warranted.

  • The purpose of this research is to identify the phases of the fashion merchandising process and the range of the fashion designer's work as well as performing degree at each stage according to the brand types of domestic women's apparel. The preliminary research was conducted with the chief designers of five woman's apparel manufactures located in Seoul and the questionnaires were collected from 192 fashion designers. They were measured by the five point Likert-type scales. For a data analysis, the Pearson's Correlation, ANOVA, Sheffe Test, MANOVA were used with SPSS V. 11.0. The results are as follows; 1. The steps which fashion designers of domestic apparel brand take in fashion merchandising process have been identified in 7 stages- Environment Information, Target Market Planning, Design Planning, Design Development, Price Settlement, Presentation & Line Release, Production. 2. The task achievement level of fashion designers in fashion merchandising process differs in brand types as well as in fashion merchandising stages. In NB, the designer's work was conducted in order of Design Planning(M=4.58)$\to$Presentation & Line release(M=4.31)$\to$ Environment Information(M=3.83)$\to$Target Market Planning(M=3.13). In DB, in order of Price Settlement (M=4.80)$\to$Production(M=4.33)$\to$Design Development(M=4.27)$\to$Design Planning(M=3.77)$\to$Presentation & Line release(M=3.20)$\to$Environment Information (M2.70). In GB, in order of Production(M=4.38)$\to$Design Planning(M=4.22)$\to$Price Settlement(M4.16)$\to$Environment Information(M=3.83)$\to$Merchandising Target Market (M=3.72)$\to$Design Development(M=3.65). 3. Considering the other factors such as sales, the amount of owning shops, item amounts that are related to the company size, this study shows that only the brand type affects designer's task achievement.

  • Effects of coagulation types on flocculation were investigated by using a photometric dispersion analyzer (PDA) as an on-line monitoring technique in this study. Nakdong River water were used and alum and ferric chloride were used as coagulants. The aim of this study is to compare the coagulation characteristics of alum and ferric chloride by a photometric dispersion analyzer (PDA). Floc growing rates ($R_v$) in three different water temperatures ($4^{\circ}C$, $16^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$) and coagulants doses (0.15 mM, 0.20 mM and 0.25 mM as Al, Fe) were measured. The floc growing rate ($R_v$) by alum was 1.8~2.8 times higher than that of ferric chloride during rapid mixing period, however, for 0.15 mM~0.25 mM coagulant doses the floc growing rate ($R_v$) by ferric chloride was 1.1~2.3 times higher than that of alum in the slow mixing period at $16^{\circ}C$ water temperature. Reasonable coagulant doses of alum and ferric chloride for turbidity removal were 0.1 mM (as Al) and 0.2 mM (as Fe), respectively, and the removal efficiency of those coagulant doses showed 94% for alum and 97% for ferric chloride. The appropriate coagulant dose of alum and ferric chloride for removing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) showed about 0.3 mM (as Al, Fe) and at this dosage, DOC removal efficiencies were 36% and 44%, and ferric chloride was superior to the alum for removal of the DOC in water.

  • 칼리를 0, 2, 6, 12 mM 수준으로 재배한 가지 잎을 먹이로 점박이응애의 발육을 조사하였다. 칼리 시비수준이 증가함에 따라 식물체내 K함량은 증가하였고, N함량은 감소하였으며 P, K, Mg는 증가하였다. 칼리 시비수준이 증가함에 따라 조단백질과 섬유소는 감소하였지만 회분과 설탕은 증가하였다. 탄수화물은 2 mM처리에서 높았다. 수분은 0 mM처리를 제외하고는 칼리수준이 높을수록 증가하였다. 칼리 시비수준에 따른 수량은 6 mM처리에서 주당 552.7 g으로 가장 많았고, 0 mM처리에서 가장 적었다. 잎두께와 엽록소함량은 칼리 시비수준이 높을수록 증가하였고, 식이선호성은 6 mM, 산란선호성은 12 mM처리에서 높았다. 온실에서 정식 99일후 자연 발생되는 점박이응애의 피해 엽률은 6 mM처리에서 가장 높았다. 점박이응애의 발육은 엽 내 칼리함량이 증가할수록 모든 영기에서 모두 짧아졌고 수컷이 암컷보다 짧은 경향이었다. 성충기간과 산란기간은 처리 간에 차이가 없었으나 산란 수는 6 mM처리에서 84.7개로 가장 높고, 0 mM처리에서 40.6개로 가장 낮았다. 부화율과 성비는 큰 차이가 없었다. $R_o,\;r_m$$\lambda$는 6 mM이 가장 높고 0 mM이 가장 낮았다. T와 DT는 6 mM이 가장 적은 수치를 나타내었고 0 mM이 가장 높았다. 엽내 칼리함량이 높거나 낮을 경우 점박이응애의 발생은 낮아지는 경향이었다.

  • We introduce a special class of real recurrent polynomials $f_m$$($m{\geq}1$) of degree m+1, with positive roots $s_m$, which are decreasing as m increases. The first root $s_1$, as well as the last one denoted by $s_{\infty}$ are expressed in closed form, and enclose all $s_m$ (m > 1). This technique is also used to find weaker than before [6] sufficient convergence conditions for some popular iterative processes converging to solutions of equations.

  • In this paper, we estimate the mean number of objects in the M/H2/1 model for web service when the mean object size in the M/H2/1 model is equal to that of the M/G/1/PS and M/BP/1 models. To this end, we use the mean object size obtained by assuming that the mean latency of deterministic model is equal to that of M/H2/1, M/G/1/PS, and M/BP/1 models, respectively. Computational experiments show that if the shape parameter of the M/BP/1 model is 1.1 and the system load is greater than 0.35, the mean number of objects in the M/H2/1 model when mean object size of M/H2/1 model is the same as that of M/G/1/PS model is almost equal to the mean number of objects in the M/H2/1 model when the mean object size of M/H2/1 model is the same as that of M/BP/1 model. In addition, as the upper limit of the M/BP/1 model increases, the number of objects in the M/H2/1 model converges to one, which increases latency. These results mean that it is efficient to use small-sized objects in the web service environment.

  • CCD photometric observations of the globular cluster (GC), M53 (NGC 5024), are performed using the 1.8 m telescope at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea on the same nights (2002 April and 2003 May) as the observations of the GC M92 (NGC 6341) reported by Cho and Lee using the same instrumental setup. The data for M53 is reduced using the same method as used for M92 by Cho and Lee, including preprocessing, point-spread function fitting photometry, and standardization etc. Therefore, M53 and M92 are on the same photometric system defined by Landolt, and the photometry of M53 and M92 is tied together as closely as possible. After complete photometric reduction, the V versus B − V , V versus V − I, and V versus B − I color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of M53 are produced to derive the relative ages of M53 and M92 and derive the various characteristics of its CMDs in future analysis. From the present analysis, the relative ages of M53 and M92 are derived using the Δ(B − V ) method reported by VandenBerg et al. The relative age of M53 is found to be 1.6 ± 0.85 Gyr younger than that of M92 if the absolute age of M92 is taken to be 14 Gyr. This relative age difference between M53 and M92 causes slight differences in the horizontal-branch morphology of these two GCs.
