Background: Nanotechnology opens new applications in many fields including medicine. Among all metallic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (silver NPS) have proved to be the most effective against a large variety of organisms including toxic cyanobacteria. Materials and Methods: Silver NPs were biosynthesized in vivo with different alga species namely, Spirulina piatensis, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus oh/iquus following two scenarios. First: by suspending a thoroughly washed algae biomass in 1 mM aqueous $AgN0_3$ solution. Second: by culturing them individually in culture media containing the same concentration of $AgN0_3$. Silver NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive analysis (EDX) and Fourier transform infra-red (FfIR) spectroscopy. The biosynthesized silver NPs were tested for cytotoxic activity against a cancer promoter cyanobacteruim Microcystis aeruginosa, considering effects on cell viability and chlorophyll content. Results: The surface plasmon band indicated the biosynthesis of silver NPs at ~400 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the silver NPs had a mean average size below 100 nm. Energy-dispersive analysis X-ray (EDX) spectra confirmed the presence of silver element. FfIR spectral analyses suggested that proteins and or polysaccharides may be responsible for the biosynthesis of silver NPs and (-COO-) of carboxylate ions is responsible for stabilizing them. The toxic potentialities ofthe biosynthesized silver NPs against the cancer promoter cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa showed high reduction in viable cells count and the total chlorophyll content. Conclusions: The potential activity of the biosynthesized silver NPs from the studied algae species against Microcystis aernginosa cells is expected to be mainly mediated by the release of silver ions (Ag+) from the particle surface and bioactive compounds as indicated by FfIR analysis.

잡음환경에서의 음성인식 성능향상을 위해서는 서로 다른 잡음환경으로 인한 mismatch를 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 계산이 간단하고 잡음환경에서 비교적 우수한 성능을 내고 있는 스펙트럼 차감법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스펙트럼 차감법을 적용하기 위한 잡음 스펙트럼 추정방법으로 히스토그램 처리방법을 도입한다. 히스토그램 처리방법은 음성이 아닌 구간의 검출이 필요없으며 시간에 따라 변화하는 시변잡음에도 적용 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나 히스토그램 처리방법으로 신뢰도 높은 잡음 스펙트럼의 평균값을 추정하더라도 스펙트럼 차감법을 적용했을 때의 잔여 잡음의 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 잡음추정 과정에 사용되었던 히스토그램의 분포특성을 고려한 새로운 over-estimation 적용방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 측정된 잡음의 분포에 따라 적응적으로 over-estimation의 정도를 결정함으로써 SNR 변화에 따른 영향이 적은 장점이 있다. 자동차 소음 환경에서의 화자독립 고립단어 인식실험 결과, 기존의 over-estimation factor를 적용한 경우보다 제안된 방식의 인식성능이 개선되었다.

New triple tungstate phosphors NaPbLa(WO₄)₃:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ (x = Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ = 7, 8, 9, 10) are successfully fabricated by microwave assisted sol-gel synthesis and their structural and frequency upconversion (UC) characteristics are investigated. The compounds crystallized in the tetragonal space group I4₁/a and the NaPbLa(WO₄)₃ host have unit cell parameters a = 5.3927(1) and c = 11.7961(3) Å, V = 343.05(2) ų, Z = 4. Under excitation at 980 nm, the phosphors have yellowish green emissions, which are derived from the intense ⁵S₂/⁵F₄→⁵I₈ transitions of Ho³⁺ ions in the green spectral range and strong ⁵F₅→⁵I₈ transitions in the red spectral range. The optimal Yb³⁺:Ho³⁺ ratio is revealed to be x = 9, which is attributed to the quenching effect of Ho³⁺ ions, as indicated by the composition dependence. The UC characteristics are evaluated in detail under consideration of the pump power dependence and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity. The spectroscopic features of Raman spectra are discussed in terms of the superposition of Ho³⁺ luminescence and vibrational lines. The possibility of controlling the spectral distribution of UC luminescence by the chemical content of tungstate hosts is demonstrated.

기체의 순간 온도를 측정할 수 있는 펄스 레이저를 사용한 이동형 CARS 분광기를 제작하였다. 이 분광기의 측정 프로그램은 측정한 스펙트럼으로 부터 온도를 얻기 위하여 8가지의 빠른 온도 계산법과 최소제곱법을 포함하고 있다. 빠른 온도 계산법 중 두 가지는 최소제곱법 보다 계산 시간은 훨씬 덜 걸리면서 온도의 분산이 작은 측정 결과를 준다. CARS 온도의 정밀 정확도는 복사온도계를 기준으로 흑연관 흑체로에서 측정하였다. 1000K부터 2400K의 온도 영역에서 정확도는 .+-.2% 이내이고 정밀도는 가장 정밀한 결과를 주는 빠른 온도 계산법을 적용할 때 1600K에서 .+-.35K이다. 순간 온도 측정의 적용 예를 보이기 위하여 이 분광기를 정해진 조건에 있는 난류 연소의 측정에 적용하였다.

liposome에 결합되어 있는 ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$의 형광을 이용하여 liposome의 상전이온도를 측정할 수 있었다. 이는 ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$의 vitamin E로서의 중요성 이외에 형광성 프로브로서의 새로운 가치의 발견이다. 형광성 프로브로서 그 응용의 확대를 위한 필수적인 기초자료의 수집을 위해, 분자분광학적성질을 조사하였다. 용액중의 ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$은 monomer와 dimer의 두가지 형태로 존재하며, 단파장흡수대$(291{\sim}294nm)$의 monomer는 형광성인데 반하여 dimer는 298nm 부근을 흡수하는 비형광성이고 분자간수소결합에 의하여 형성되었음이 밝혀졌다. liposome에 결합된 ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$은 각종 유기용매 중에서의 ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$과는 판이한 형광성질을 갖고 있었고 chromanolate이온형태의 화학종으로부터 생긴 것으로 해석되었다.

The site coefficients in the common requirements for seismic design codes, which were promulgated in 2017, were reevaluated and the standard design spectrum for soil sites were newly proposed in order to ensure the consistency of the standard design spectra for rock and soil sites specified in the common requirements. Using the 55 ground motions from domestic and overseas intraplate earthquakes, which were used to derive the standard design spectrum for rock sites, as rock outcropping motions, site response analyses of Korean soil were performed and its ground-motion-amplification was characterized. Then, the site coefficients for soil sites were reevaluated. Compared with the existing site coefficients, the newly proposed short-period site coefficient $F_a$ increased and the long-period site coefficient $F_v$ decreased overall. A new standard design spectrum for soil sites was proposed using the reevaluated site coefficients. When compared with the existing design spectrum, it could be seen that the proposed site coefficients and the standard design spectrum for soil sites were reasonably derived. They reflected the short-period characteristics of earthquake and soil in Korea.

We present a 1.1mm emission map of the OMC1 region observed with AzTEC, a new large-format array composed of 144 silicon-nitride micromesh bolometers, that was in use at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). These AzTEC observations reveal dozens of cloud cores and a tail of filaments in a manner that is almost identical to the submillimeter continuum emission of the entire OMC1 region at 450 and $850{\mu}m$. We perform Fourier analysis of the image with a modified periodogram and the density power spectrum, which provides the distribution of the length scale of the structures, is determined. The expected value of the periodogram converges to the resulting power spectrum in the mean squared sense. The present analysis reveals that the power spectrum steepens at relatively smaller scales. At larger scales, the spectrum flattens and the power law becomes shallower. The power spectra of the 1.1mm emission show clear deviations from a single power law. We find that at least three components of power law might be fitted to the calculated power spectrum of the 1.1mm emission. The slope of the best fit power law, ${\gamma}{\approx}-2.7$ is similar to those values found in numerical simulations. The effect of beam size and the noise spectrum on the shape and slope of the power spectrum are also included in the present analysis. The slope of the power law changes significantly at higher spatial frequency as the beam size increases.

The blue phosphor, $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}$:$Eu^{2+}$, showing a blue emission band at about 450 nm were prepared by solid state reaction of BaC $O_3$, A $l_2$ $O_3$, MgO and E $u_2$ $O_3$ with Al $F_3$ as a flux. The thermal quenching of BaMgAl $O_{17}$:E $u^{2+}$ phosphor significantly reduces the intensity of the blue emission. It is reduced by an amount of 50% after heating at around 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. The red emission in the 580∼720 nm region of $^{5}$ $D_{0}$\longrightarro $w^{7}$ $F_1$ and $^{5}$ $D_{0}$\longrightarro $w^{7}$ $F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$ is produced from the phosphor heated above 1,100$^{\circ}C$. The EPR spectrum also reveals that some part of E $u^{2+}$ ions are oxidized to trivalent ions above 1,100$^{\circ}C$ at around 90 and 140mT. This oxidation evidence is also detected from XANES absorption spectra for $L_{III}$ shell of Eu ions: an absorption peak is at 6,977eV of E $u^{2+}$ and 6,984eV of $Eu^{3+}$. The combined X-ray and neutron data suggests that the new phase of EuMgA $l_{11}$ $O_{19}$ magnetoplumbite structure may be formed by heat treatment.eat treatment.tment.eat treatment.tment.t.

We have observed the part of the second quadrant of the Galactic Plane in $^{13}CO(1-0)$ using the multibeam receiver system installed on the 14 m telescope at Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory. The target region (L=108 to 112.5) is the part of the $^{12}CO$ Outer Galactic Plane Survey (Heyer et al. 1998), and it is for the exact Galactic plane with the latitude range of +1 and -1 degree. Total of 48,000 spectra (about 9 square degees) were obtained on 50" grid. The selected velocity resolution is 0.63 km/sec and sensitivity per channel is 0.17 K, and the covered velocity is 320 km/sec. We developed a new reduction method, which effectively deals with a relatively noisy 3-dimensional database. The collected $^{13}CO$ database will be manipulated with pre-existing $^{12}CO$ data to get several physical parameters. As it is located in the second quadrant, the kinematic distances of the individual clouds, which will be identified, can be estimated relatively easily without any distance ambiguity. In this meeting we present the reduction method, statistics, and some channel maps, integrated intensity maps, and spatial-velocity maps. We intend to clarify any difference of their characteristics between the clouds in the Outer Galaxy and Inner Galaxy using our data base.
