  • The linear length measurements are most frequently performed and should be most accurate among other parts in dimensional metrology. We developed the linear measuring system using a laser interferometer to improve the accuracy and to shorten the calibration time. The uncertainty of the system is 0.01 .mu. for 500mm steel gage block. The range of the measurement and resolution of the system are 1000mm and 0.01 .mu. m, respectively.

  • The comparison of the chemical properties of semen of black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegelii long-term acclimated reared in freshwater (BFW) and seawater (BSW) with sperm activity of salinity and ion composition. The chemical properties of seminal plasma on BFW of the factors that most there was not significant difference in the BSW. However, osmolality in seminal plasma of BFW and BSW was $307.0{\pm}4.6$ and $337.3{\pm}10.1$ mOsm/kg, respectively, where BFW showed significant lower concentration in contrast to BSW. Salinity effect on sperm motility of BFW and BSW in 0 psu solution, no sperm motility was observed, whereas in 10 psu solution, both BFW and BSW sperms showed low motility and short time post sperm activation. However, diluted in 20 and 32 psu solutions, highest motility and long time post sperm activation were observed in BFW and BSW sperm. SAI of BFW and BSW varied in depend on the osmolality regardless of ion kind and it showed the highest value in the similar osmolality of artificial seawater (956 mOsm/kg). Accordingly, even in sperm released from BFW, factors initiating sperm motility are determined by osmolality.

  • This study aimed to find an optimal diluent and cryoprotective agent (CPA) during cryopreservation of common Korean bitterling Acheilognathus signifier sperm. The bitterling is an endangered species in Korea, and this study will enable conservation and further technical development of artificial seed production. We tested the effects of cryopreservation and toxicity by the type of diluent and CPA. The optimal combination of diluent and CPA for cryopreservation was 300 mM glucose+10% methanol, resulting in a survival rate and sperm activity index (SAI) of $96.3{\pm}1.5%$, and $3.0{\pm}0.0$ respectively, and no significant difference compared to fresh sperm. The survival rate and SAI of post-thawed sperm was $9.7{\pm}1.5%$, $0.8{\pm}0.3$ respectively, which was significantly higher than had been achieved with other diluents and CPAs.

  • With high specific surface area and pore structural diversity, MOFs show important applications in gas storage, catalysis, sensing, separation, and biomedicine. However, the stability of the structure of MOFs has restricted their application and development. In this study, zirconium metal organic frameworks with 9,10-dicarboxylic acid anthracene as ligand, named UIO-66 ($H_2DCA$), were synthesized and their properties and structures were characterized by XRD, SEM, and $N_2$ adsorption. We focus on the stability of the structure of UIO-66 ($H_2DCA$) under different conditions (acid, alkali, and water). The structural changes or ruins of UIO-66 ($H_2DCA$) were traced by means of XRD, TG, and FT-IR under different conditions. The results show that the UIO-66 ($H_2DCA$) materials are stable at 583 K, and that this structural stability is greatly influenced by different types of acid and alkali compounds. Importantly, we found that the structures maintain their stability in environments of nitric acid, triethylamine, and boiling water.

  • Thorea indica sp. nov. is described from the Sai River, Uttar Pradesh, India (26°39′00.7″ N, 80°47′38.3″ E). Its classification is based on molecular sequences of the plastid-encoded RuBisCO large-subunit gene, rbcL and the barcode region of the mitochondrial encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, cox1, and morphological data. The sequence analyses confirm a new species of Thorea. The cox1 barcode sequence had 90.4-90.8% identity with Thorea sp. from Australia and Thorea hispida from Hawaii and China. Based on rbcL sequences the Indian specimen was positioned in a major clade with high support (>95 bootstrap and 0.95 posterior probability) containing two other species: T. okadae from Japan and T. hispida from the continental USA, Hawaii, the UK, and China. The divergences among these sequences were T. indica vs. T. okadae (2.8%) and T. indica vs. T. hispida (2.9-3.4%). The comparison of morphological characters of Thorea from India was not conclusive due to the inadequate descriptions in previous reports: most specimens reported as T. hispida fit within the circumscription of T. indica as described here. The previous report of T. siamensis from the Sai River is incorrect and the specimens fit within our description of T. indica. Thorea indica and T. okadae can be distinguished by minor morphometric characters and sexuality (dioecious vs. monoecious).

  • Objectives: The overuse of the Internet among adolescents has increased dramatically in recent years, leading to pathological or problematic Internet use. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is known to be effective for the treatment of problematic Internet use, particularly for adolescents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of group CBT for problematic Internet use in adolescents. Methods: A total of 17 patients aged 12-17 years who met Young's diagnostic questionnaire criteria of problematic Internet use participated in a school-based eight-session group CBT program. The level of problematic Internet use among participating students was measured using Young's Internet Addiction Scale (IAS). Depression and anxiety levels were evaluated using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), respectively. Each construct was assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at a one-month follow-up visit. Statistical significance was based on a p-value of <0.05. Results: Immediately after the program, the IAS, CDI, and State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) scores were significantly lower than before the program. At the one-month follow-up assessment, the IAS scores remained low, and the CDI and SAI scores were even lower than immediately after the program. Conclusion: Group CBT was effective for adolescents with problematic Internet use, and was also demonstrated to improve depression and anxiety.

  • Children's health is interesting to parents and society. A system that assists to monitor the development of their children and gives nutritional advices is an interesting of parents. In this study, we present a system that allows to track the heights and weights of a child since he/she was born up to adulthood, to predict his age of puberty, and to provide nutritional advice. Particularly, it predicts the height in near future and the adult stature for detecting the child with abnormal development. We applied Sager's model for predicting the height in near future by using interpolation and regression techniques before puberty. After determining the puberty time, we proposed a model for predicting the height. Then we applied fuzzy logic for evaluating the health status and providing nutritional advice. Our system predicted stature in near future with error bound of $1.7361{\pm}0.0397cm$ in girls and $2.4020{\pm}0.0799cm$ in boys. Our model also gave a reliable adult stature prediction with error bound of $0.3507{\pm}0.2808cm$ in girls and $1.3414{\pm}0.7024cm$ in boys. At the same time, the nutrition was provided appropriately in terms of protein, lipid, glucid. We implemented a program based on this research. Our system promises to improve the health of every child.
