Developments of Solid-State Gyroscopy during last decades are impressive and were based on thin-walled shell resonators like HRG or CRG made from fused quartz or leuko-sapphire. However, a number of design choices for inertial-grade gyroscopes, which can be used for high-g applications and for mass- or middle-scale production, is still very limited. So, considerations of fundamental physical effects in solids that can be used for development of a miniature, completely solid-state, and lower-cost sensor look urgent. There is a variety of different types of bulk acoustic (elastic) waves (BAW) in anisotropic solids. Shear waves with different variants of their polarization have to be studied especially carefully, because shear sounds in glasses and crystals are sensitive to a turn of the solid as a whole, and, so, they can be used for development of gyroscopic sensors. For an isotropic medium (for a glass or a fine polycrystalline body), classic Lame's theorem (so-called, a general solution of Elasticity Theory or Green-Lame's representation) has been modified for enough general case: an elastic medium rotated about an arbitrary set of axes. Travelling, standing, and mixed shear waves propagating in an infinite isotopic medium (or between a pair of parallel reflecting surfaces) have been considered too. An analogy with classic Foucault's pendulum has been underlined for the effect of a turn of a polarizational plane (i.e., an integration effect for an input angular rate) due to a medium's turn about the axis of the wave propagation. These cases demonstrate a whole-angle regime of gyroscopic operation. Single-crystals are anisotropic media, and, therefore, to reflect influence of the crystal's rotation, classic Christoffel-Green's tensors have been modified. Cases of acoustic axes corresponding to equal velocities for a pair of the pure-transverse (shear) waves have of an evident applied interest. For such a special direction in a crystal, different polarizations of waves are possible, and the gyroscopic effect of "polarizational precession" can be observed like for a glass. Naturally, formation of a wave pattern in a massive elastic body is much more complex due to reflections from its boundaries. Some of these complexities can be eliminated. However, a non-homogeneity has a fundamental nature for any amorphous medium due to its thermodynamically-unstable micro-structure, having fluctuations of the rapidly-frozen liquid. For single-crystalline structures, blockness (walls of dislocations) plays a similar role. Physical nature and kinematic particularities of several typical "drifts" in polarizational BAW gyros (P-BAW) have been considered briefly too. They include irregular precessions ("polarizational beats") due to: non-homogeneity of mass density and elastic moduli, dissymmetry of intrinsic losses, and an angular mismatch between propagation and acoustic axes.

오늘날 지구온난화는 전 세계적으로 가장 주요한 문제 중 하나로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 지구온난화는 급속한 에너지 사용량의 증가에 의한 이산화탄소 발생의 증가가 가장 큰 원인이 된다. 그러므로 이에 대비하기 위해서 는 모든 영역에서 에너지 절약에 대한 노력이 필요하다. 세계의 총에너지 사용량 중 건설 활동과 건물운영에서 사용되는 에너지량이 차지하는 비율이 절반이 넘는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 건물에너지 발생량을 줄이는 것은 전체 에너지량을 절감시키는 중요한 역할을 한다. 이에 건물에너지 소비에 대한 관심의 증대와 함께 건물의 에너지 소비와 $CO_2$ 발생량을 줄이기 위해 친환경 건축물 등급 및 인증이 요구되고 있다. 건물에너지를 줄일 수 있는 여러 가지 요인 중에서 재료의 열전도율은 패시브적인 방법으로 건물에너지를 직접적으로 줄일 수 있는 가장 기본적인 요소라 할 수 있다. 특히 전통적으로 바닥 복사난방시스템을 사용하는 우리나라의 주거건물에서 바닥마감재의 열전도율은 난방에너지 효율을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 주거건물의 난방에너지 절감을 위해 건축 재료의 열전도율 측정방법을 조사하고 난방 효율 평가를 위한 축소모형을 제안하였다.

최근 들어 컴퓨터의 대용량화 및 고성능화에 따라 WWW(World-Wide-Web)을 기반으로 하는 다양한 형태의 지리정보시스템(GIS: Geographic Information System)이 개발되고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 WWW 기반의 GIS에 대한 연구는 도로망, 지도검색과 같은 정적인 데이타를 주로 관리하기 때문에 아직까지는 실생활에 크게 영향을 미치지 못하고 있다. 그러나 국내의 현실과 기술의 발전상으로 볼 때 모바일 장치 보급률의 증가 추세와 더불어 모바일 장치가 컴퓨터를 대신할 차세대 장치로 부각되고 있고, 소형의 GPS 장치의 모듈식 개발로 인하여 앞으로는 운송수단이나 개개인이 사용하고 있는 장비에 GPS 장치를 부착하여 사용하게 될 것이다. 즉, 모바일 장치를 이용한 동적인 GIS의 사용이 점차 증가하게 될 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 무선 네트워크 상에서 GIS 정보를 처리할 수 있게 하기 위하여 Shareware DBMS를 이용한 모바일 지리정보시스템을 설계 및 구현한다. 본 논문에서는 GIS 데이타 서버에 모바일의 개념을 적용하여 클라이언트상에서 공간 데이타의 삽입, 삭제, 갱신, 줌 인, 줌 아웃, 그리고 클라이언트 사용자의 위치가 표시되는 기능을 가진 시스템을 구현한다. 이로 인해 이동하면서 공간 데이타를 처리할 수 있는 동적인 데이타 관리와 미들웨어를 통해 다양한 GIS 서버를 이용할 수 있는 확장성을 제공한다. 아울러 Shareware DBMS를 이용함으로써 구축비용의 절감이라는 이점도 얻을 수 있으며, 지능형 교통 시스템(ITS: Intelligent Transport System)과의 연계도 가능하다.

Serial ultrasonographic examinations were daily performed from 15 days after ovulation until parturition to determine the time of first detection and ultrasonographic appearance of the fetal and extra-fetal structures in pregnant 10 Maltese, 10 Yorkshire Terrier, 15 Shih-tzu, and 10 Miniature Schnauzer bitches, respectively. Gestational age was timed from the day of ovulation (day 0), which was estimated to occur when plasma progesterone concentration was first increased above 4.0ng/ml. The gestational length was $63.4{\sim}63.6$ (range: $61{\sim}65$) days and the geatational length was no statistically significant difference among bitches (p>0.05). The initial detection of the extra-fetal structures were; gestational sac at days $18.9{\sim}19.5\;(17{\sim}22)$, zonary placenta at days $24.6{\sim}25.5\;(23{\sim}28)$, yolk sac membrane at days $24.6{\sim}25.5\;(23{\sim}27)$, yolk sac tubular shape at days $26.1{\sim}26.3\;(24{\sim}28)$, and amniotic membrane at days $26.1{\sim}28.2\;(24{\sim}31)$, respectively. The time of the first detection of the extra-fetal structures were no statistically significant difference among bitches (p>0.05). The initial detection of the fetal structures were; embryo initial detection at days $22.5{\sim}22.9\;(21{\sim}24)$, heartbeat at days $23.2{\sim}23.8\;(21{\sim}25)$, embryo bipolar shape $27.6{\sim}28.9\;(26{\sim}30)$, fetal movement at days $31.9{\sim}32.8\;(27{\sim}34)$, limb buds at days $29.1{\sim}30.7\;(27{\sim}33)$, stomach at days $31.1{\sim}33.1\;(29{\sim}34)$, urinary bladder at days $32.4{\sim}33.2\;(29{\sim}35)$, skeleton at days $34.7{\sim}35.9\;(34{\sim}39)$, and kidney at days $42.1{\sim}44.7\;(41{\sim}48)$, respectively. The the time of the first detection of the fetal structures were no statistically significant difference among bitches (p>0.05). These results indicate the evaluation of the time of first detection and ultrasonographic characteristics of the gestational structures might be useful for pregnancy diagnosis, estimating fetal age, embryonic resorption, fetal monster, abnormal fetal growth and fetal viability, respectively.

Early cleavage is a reliable prognostic tool for successful embryo transfer in assisted reproduction because early cleaved embryo show better pregnancy rate after transfer. There for, preparation of good embryo recipient is important factor to optimize efficiency of pig cloning. The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of early cleavage on the in vivo development of cloned embryos and to analyze breed, parity and estrous synchrony to optimize recipient for pig cloning. In vitro matured porcine oocytes derived from local slaughterhouse and fibroblasts derived from miniature pig fetuses were used for somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Reconstructed embryos were transferred to recipient pigs on the same day of SCNT or after 1~2 days of in vitro culture for selecting early cleaved embryos. Breed, parity and date of standing estrous of recipients were recorded for analysis. After 25~35 days after embryo transfer pregnancy was diagnosed using ultrasonography, and pregnant recipients were monitored till delivery. Between purebred and crossbred, no significant difference was founded in both pregnancy and delivery rates. However, early cleaved embryos showed significantly higher pregnancy (46.2%) and delivery (12.8%) rates compared to non-selectively transferred group (24.8% and 4.5%, respectively). The results also showed that the recipients showing standing estrous on the same day of SCNT and less than 4 parities were most suitable for pig cloning.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neuromuscular disease of unknown etiology in which the upper and lower motor neurons are progressively destroyed. Recent evidences support the role of autoimmune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of ALS. This study investigated the effects of sera from ALS patients on neuromuscular transmission in phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparations and on calcium currents of single isolated dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells in mice. Mice were injected with either control sera from healthy adults or ALS sera from 18 patients with ALS of sporadic form, for three days. Miniature end plate potential (MEPP) and nerve-evoked end plate potential (EPP) were measured using intracellular recording technique and the quantal content was determined. Single isolated DRG cells were voltage-clamped with the whole-cell configuration and membrane currents were recorded. Sera from 14 of 18 ALS patients caused a significant increase in MEPP frequency in normal Ringer's solution $(4.62{\pm}0.14\;Hz)$ compared with the control $(2.18{\pm}0.15\;Hz).$ In a high $Mg^{2+}/low\;Ca^{2+}$ solution, sera from 13 of 18 ALS patients caused a significant increase in MEPP frequency, from $2.18{\pm}0.31$ Hz to $6.09{\pm}0.38$ Hz. Sera from 11 of 18 patients produced a significant increase of nerve-evoked EPP amplitude, from $0.92{\pm}0.05$ mV to $1.30{\pm}0.04$ mV, while the other seven ALS sera did not alter EPP amplitude. In the ALS group, EPP quantal content was also elevated by the sera of 14 patients (from $1.49{\pm}0.07$ to $2.35{\pm}0.07).$ MEPP frequency and amplitude in wobbler mouse were $4.03{\pm}0.53$ Hz and $1.37{\pm}0.18$ mV, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of wobbler controls (wobblers without the symptoms of wobbler). Sera from ALS patients significantly reduced HVA calcium currents of DRG cells to 42.7% at -10 mV. Furthermore, the inactivation curve shifted to more negative potentials with its half-inactivation potential changed by 6.98 mV. There were, however, significant changes neither in the reversal potential of $I_{Ca}$ nor in the I-V curve. From these results it was concluded that: 1) The serum factors of sporadic ALS patients increase neuromuscular transmission and can alter motor nerve terminal presynaptic function. This suggests that ALS serum factors may play an important role in the early stage of ALS, and 2) Calcium currents in DRG cells were reduced and rapidly inactivated by ALS sera, suggesting that in these cells, ALS serum factors may exert interaction with the calcium channel.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine in vivo osteogenesis of cultured human periosteal-derived cells and polydioxanone/pluronic F127 scaffold. Methods: Two one-year-old miniature pigs were used in this study. $2{\times}10^6$ periosteal-derived cells in 1 mL medium were seeded by dropping the cell suspension into the polydioxanone/pluronic F127 scaffold. These cell-scaffold constructs were cultured in osteogenic Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium for 7 days. Under general anesthesia with azaperone and tiletamine-zolazepam, the mandibular body and ramus of the pigs were exposed. Three bony defects were created. Polydioxanone/pluronic F127 scaffold with periosteal-derived cells and the scaffold only were implanted into each defect. Another defect was left empty. Twelve weeks after implantation, the animals were sacrificed. Results: New bone formation was clearly observed in the polydioxanone/pluronic F127 scaffold with periosteal-derived cells. Newly generated bone was also observed in the scaffold without periosteal-derived osteoblasts and empty defect, but was mostly limited to the periphery. Conclusion: These results suggest that cultured human periosteal-derived cells have good osteogenic capacity in a polydioxanone/pluronic F127 scaffold, which provides a proper environment for the osteoblastic differentiation of these cells.

석가산은 한국 전통조경의 구심적 구성요소로서 고려시대와 조선시대 전통 석경관의 한 축을 이루며 발달하여 왔으나, 현대에 와서 그 맥이 단절되었다. 고려 중기 모사적 축경식에서 출발한 첩석 석가산이 점차 사의적 석가산으로 발달, 변천하면서 전통 석경관 문화의 새로운 전환기를 맞이하였다. 한국의 전통 석가산은 중국의 주변경관을 압도하는 거대한 석가산과는 달리 소동산형으로 주변에 조화되게 한국적 석가산 문화를 구축하였다. 이 연구는 고문헌과 현장유적을 근거로 한 실증적 조사로서 석가산의 유형과 발달양상을 구명하고자 하였으며, 조사결과 석가산은 괴석을 쌓아올린 첩석형을 기본 골격으로 지변 첩석형, 첩석형, 지중형, 치석형, 분형 등 다섯 유형이 발달해온 것으로 나타났다. 이 중 석가산에 물이 흐르는 지변 첩석형 석가산은 고려 중기 도입된 이후부터 조선 후기까지 성행되어온 대표적 유형이다. 이러한 연구는 석가산의 조경문화사적 가치와 정체성을 회복하여 단절되어 온 석가산의 전통의 맥을 계승하고 발전시키는데 토대가 될 것으로 기대한다.

The Kepler mission has shown that small planets are extremely common. It is likely that nearly every star in the sky hosts at least one rocky planet. We just need to look hard enough-but this requires vast amounts of telescope time. MINERVA (MINiature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array) is a dedicated exoplanet observatory with the primary goal of discovering rocky, Earth-like planets orbiting in the habitable zone of bright, nearby stars. The MINERVA team is a collaboration among UNSW Australia, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Penn State University, University of Montana, and the California Institute of Technology. The four-telescope MINERVA array will be sited at the F.L. Whipple Observatory on Mt Hopkins in Arizona, USA. Full science operations will begin in mid-2015 with all four telescopes and a stabilised spectrograph capable of high-precision Doppler velocity measurements. We will observe ~100 of the nearest, brightest, Sun-like stars every night for at least five years. Detailed simulations of the target list and survey strategy lead us to expect $15{\pm}4$ new low-mass planets.

This study was attempted to investigate the effects of delayed compaction on the unconfined compressive strengh and dry density of Soil-cement mixtures. Soil-cement construction is a time-consuming procedure. Time-delay is known as a detrimental factor to lower the quality of soil-cement layer. A laboratory test was performed using coarse and fine weathered granite soils. The soils were mixed with 7% cement at optimum moisture content and excess moisture content in part. Socondary additives such as lime, gypsum-plaster, flyash and sugar were tried to counteract the detri-mental effect of delayed compaction. The specimens were compacted by Harvard Miniature Compaction Apparatus at 0,1,2,4,6 hors after mixing. Two kinds of compactive efforts(9 kgf and 18 kgf tamper) were applied. The results were summarized as follows: 1.With the increase of time delay, the decrease rate of dry density of the specimen compacted by 9 kgf tamper was steeper than that of the specimen compacted by 18kgf tamper. In the same manner, soil-B had steeper decreasing rate of dry density than soil-A. 2.Based on the results of delayed compaction tests, the dry density and unconfined compressive sterngth were rapidly decreased in the early 2 hours delay, while those were slowly decreased during the time delay of 2 to 6 hours. 3.The dry density and unconfined compressive strength were increased by addition of 3% excess water to the optimum moisture content during the time delay of 2 to 6 hours. 4.Without time delay in compaction, the dry densities of soil-A were increased by adding secondary additives such as lime, gypsum-plaster, flyash and sugar, on the other hand, those of soil-B were decreased except for the case of sugar. 5.The use of secondary additives like lime, gypsum-plaster, flyash and sugar could reduce the decrease of unconfined compressive strength due to delayed compaction. Among them, lime was the most effective. 6.From the above mentioned results, several recommendations could be suggested in order to compensate for losses of unconfined compressive strenght and densit v due to delayed compaction. They are a) to use coarse-grained granite soil rather than fined-grained one, b) to add about 3% excess compaction moisture content, c) to increase compactive effort to a certain degree, and d) to use secondary additives like line gypsum-plaster, flyash, and sugar in proper quantity depending on the soil types.
