The accurate analysis of water vapor in initial of numerical weather prediction (NWP) model is required as one of the necessary conditions for the improvement of heavy rainfall prediction and reduction of spin-up time on a very-short-range forecast. To study this effect, the impact of a ground-based Global Positioning System (GPS)-Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) on very-short-range forecast are examined. Data assimilation experiments of GPS-PWV data from 19 sites over the Korean Peninsula were conducted with Advanced Storm-scale Analysis and Prediction System (ASAPS) based on the Korea Meteorological Administration's Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System (KLAPS) included "Hot Start" as very-short-range forecast system. The GPS total water vapor was used as constraint for integrated water vapor in a variational humidity analysis in KLAPS. Two simulations of heavy rainfall events show that the precipitation forecast have improved in terms of ETS score compared to the simulation without GPS-PWV data. In the first case, the ETS for 0.5 mm of rainfall accumulated during 3 hrs over the Seoul-Gyeonggi area shows an improvement of 0.059 for initial forecast time. In other cases, the ETS improved 0.082 for late forecast time. According to a qualitative analysis, the assimilation of GPS-PWV improved on the intensity of precipitation in the strong rain band, and reduced overestimated small amounts of precipitation on the out of rain band. In the case of heavy rainfall during the rainy season in Gyeonggi province, 8 mm accompanied by the typhoon in the case was shown to increase to 15 mm of precipitation in the southern metropolitan area. The GPS-PWV assimilation was extremely beneficial to improving the initial moisture analysis and heavy rainfall forecast within 3 hrs. The GPS-PWV data on variational data assimilation have provided more useful information to improve the predictability of precipitation for very short range forecasts.

Parallel imaging technique can provide several advantages for a multitude of MRI applications. Especially, in SENSE technique, sensitivity maps were always required in order to determine the reconstruction matrix, therefore, a number of difference approaches using sensitivity information from coils have been demonstrated to improve of image quality. Moreover, many filtering methods were proposed such as adaptive matched filter and nonlinear diffusion technique to optimize the suppression of background noise and to improve of image quality. In this study, we performed SENSE reconstruction using computer simulations to confirm the most suitable method for the feasibility of filtering effect and according to changing order of polynomial fit that were applied on variation of spatial resolution of sensitivity map. The image was obtained at 0.32T(Magfinder II, Genpia, Korea) MRI system using spin-echo pulse sequence(TR/TE = 500/20 ms, FOV = 300 mm, matrix = $128{\times}128$, thickness = 8 mm). For the simulation, obtained image was multiplied with four linear-array coil sensitivities which were formed of 2D-gaussian distribution and the image was complex white gaussian noise was added. Image processing was separated to apply two methods which were polynomial fitting and filtering according to spatial resolution of sensitivity map and each coil image was subsampled corresponding to reduction factor(r-factor) of 2 and 4. The results were compared to mean value of geomety factor(g-factor) and artifact power(AP) according to r-factor 2 and 4. Our results were represented while changing of spatial resolution of sensitivity map and r-factor, polynomial fit methods were represented the better results compared with general filtering methods. Although our result had limitation of computer simulation study instead of applying to experiment and coil geometric array such as linear, our method may be useful for determination of optimal sensitivity map in a linear coil array.

A 17-year-old girl presented with complaints of headache and decreasing vision of one month's duration, without any history of fever, weight loss, or any evidence of an immuno-compromised state. Her neurological examination was normal, except for papilledema. Laboratory investigations were within normal limits, except for a slightly increased Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). Non-contrast computerized tomography of her head revealed complex mass in left frontal lobe with a concentric, slightly hyperdense, thickened wall, and moderate perilesional edema with mass effect. Differential diagnoses considered in this case were pilocytic astrocytoma, metastasis and abscess. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) obtained in 3.0 Tesla (3.0T) scanner revealed a lobulated outline cystic mass in the left frontal lobe with two concentric layers of T2 hypointense wall, with T2 hyperintensity between the concentric ring. Moderate perilesional edema and mass effect were seen. Post gadolinium study showed a markedly enhancing irregular wall with some enhancing nodular solid component. No restricted diffusion was seen in this mass in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) showed increased lactate and lipid peaks in the central part of this mass, although some areas at the wall and perilesional T2 hyperintensity showed an increased choline peak without significant decrease in N-acetylaspartate (NAA) level. Arterial spin labelling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) enhanced perfusion study showed decrease in relative cerebral blood volume at this region. These features in MRI were suggestive of brain abscess. The patient underwent craniotomy with excision of a grayish nodular lesion. Abundant acid fast bacilli (AFB) in acid fast staining, and epithelioid cell granulomas, caseation necrosis and Langhans giant cells in histopathology, were conclusive of tubercular abscess. Tubercular brain abscess is a rare manifestation that simulates malignancy and cause diagnostic dilemma. MRI along with MRS and magnetic resonance perfusion studies, are powerful tools to differentiate lesions in such equivocal cases.

Recently, the fuel oil of diesel engines of marine ships has been increasingly changed to heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is getting higher and higher. Therefore, the spiral gear attached at the motor of the oil purifier which plays an important role to purify the heavy oil is also easy to expose at severe environmental condition due to the purification of the heavy oil in higher temperature. Thus, the material of the spiral gear requires a better mechanical strength, wear and corrosion resistance. In this study, the heat treatment(tempering) with various holding time at temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ was carried out to the alloy of Cu-7Al-2.5Si as centrifugal casting, and the properties of both hardness and corrosion resistance with and without heat treatment were investigated with observation of the microstructure and with electrochemical methods, such as measurement of corrosion potential, cathodic and anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram, and a.c. impedance. in natural seawater solution. The ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ${\gamma}_2$ phases were observed in the material in spite of no heat treatment due to quenching effect of a spin mold. However, their phases, that is, ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ${\gamma}_2$ phases decreased gradually with increasing the holding time at a constant temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. The hardness more or less decreased with heat treatment, however its corrosion resistance was improved with the heat treatment. Furthermore, the longer holding time, the better corrosion resistance. In addition, when the holding time was 48hrs, its corrosion current density showed the lowest value. The pattern of corroded surface was nearly similar to that of the pitting corrosion, and this morphology was greatly observed in the case of no heat treatment. It is considered that ${\gamma}_2$ phase at the grain boundary was corroded preferentially as an anode. However, the pattern of general corrosion exhibited increasingly due to decreasing the ${\gamma}_2$ phase with heat treatment. Consequently, it is suggested that the corrosion resistance of Cu-7Al-2.5Si alloy can be improved with the heat treatment as a holding time for 48 hrs at $500^{\circ}C$.

Seaweeds are a potential source of minerals, essential amino acids, fatty acids, proteins, and various bioactive compounds such as antioxidants. The higher water content of seaweeds reduces the shelf life and this requires the appropriate drying method. The drying conditions play a major role in the conservation of nutrient composition in dried seaweeds. In recent years, the seaweed industry has used many different drying methods with advantages and limitations. Hybrid hot-water Goodle dryer (HHGD) which is a special dryer mixed with hot-water and a Korean traditional heating system (Goodlejang) might be a solution to avoid these limitations. The present study evaluated the effect of drying conditions in HHGD on nutrient composition and bioactivities of brown seaweeds. Moreover, freeze-dryer (FD) and HHGD were employed in this study to compare the dried outputs obtained from four brown seaweed species. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of the hybrid hot-water Goodle drying method (HHGDM) on the nutritional composition and antioxidant activity of dried seaweeds. AOAC standard methods were used to analyze the proximate composition of dried samples and their 70% ethanol extract. The intracellular and extracellular antioxidant activities were evaluated using Vero cells and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer respectively. High performance liquid chromatography, apoptotic body formation, and in-vivo experiments were used for further confirmation of the quality of dried output. The proximate composition results obtained from drying in HHGD and FD did not exhibit any significant difference. Moreover, the seaweed extracts from the dried seaweeds by HHGD and FD dryings were also not different and both significantly down-regulated in-vivo and in-vitro oxidative stress. Furthermore, the high performance liquid chromatography results revealed that the two dryers did not make the major peaks different in the chromatograms. Freeze-drying method (FDM) provides elevated quality for dried output, but there are limitations such as high cost and low capacity. The results from a novel HHGD did not provide any significant difference with the results in FD and expressed a potential to avoid the limitations in FD. Overall, these findings solidified the applicability of HHGD over FD.

수평 전기로에서 $AgInSe_2$다결정을 합성하여 HWE(Hot Wall Epitaxy) 방법으로 $AgInSe_2$ 단결정 박막을 반절연성 GaAs(100) 위에 성장하였다. $AgInSe_2$단결정 박막은 증발원과 기판의 온도를 각각 $610^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$로 성장하였다. 이때 성장된 단결정 박막의 두께는 3.8$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 단결정 박막의 결정성의 조사에서 20 K에서 측정한 광발광 스펙트럼은 884.1nm(1.4024eV) 근처에서 excition emission 스펙트럼이 가장 강하게 나타났으며, 또한 이중결정 X-선 회절곡선(DCXD)의 반폭치(FWHM)도 125arcsec로 매우 작은 값으로 측정되어 최적 성장 조건임을 알 수 있었다. Hall 효과는 van der Pauw 방법에 의해 측정되었으며, 온도에 의존하는 운반자 농도와 이동도는 293K에서 각각 $9.58{\times}10^{22} electron/m^3,\; 3.42{\times}10^{-2}m^2/V{\cdot}s$였다. $AgInSe_2$단결정 박막의 광전류 단파장대 봉우리들로부터 20K에서 측정된 $\Delta$Cr(Crystal field splitting)은 0.12eV, $\Delta$So(spin orbit coupling)는 0.29 eV였다. 20K에서 얻어진 광발광 봉우리들 중에서 881.1nm(1.4071 eV)와 882.4nm(1.4051 eV)는 free exciton$E_x$의 upper polariton과 lower polariton인$E_x^U$와 $E_x^L$를 의미하며, 884.1nm(1.4024 eV)는 donor-bound exciton emission에 의한 $I_2$봉우리를, 885.9nm(1.3995 eV)는 acceptor-bound exciton emission에 의한 $I_1$ 봉우리를 각각 나타내었다. 또한 887.5nm(1.3970 eV)에서 관측된 봉우리는 DAP(donor-acceptor pair)에 기인하는 광발광 봉우리로 해석되었다.

목적 : 자성 자기공명조명제의 효율을 결정하는데는 상자성물질의 물분자 결합위치에 구속되어 있는 물분자와 자유 물분자사이의 물분자 교환율이 매우 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $^{17}O-NMR$기법을 사용하여 현재 상용화 되어 있는 Gd 자기공명조영제 및 최근 간특이성 자기공명조영제로 제안되고 있는 Gd-EOB-DTPA의 물분자 교율을 측정하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 본 연구에 사용된 조영제는 Gd-DTPA, Gd-DTPA-BMA, Gd-DOTA, Gd-EOB-DTPA 이며 여기에 Isotech 사의 5% $^{17}O$로 치환된 증류수를 혼합하여 사용하였다. 결과적인 시료의 pH는 buffer용액을 사용하여 pH=7로 고정하였으며 다양한 온도에서 Bruker-600 (14.1 T, 81.3 MHz)모델의 NMR장비를 사용하여 측정하였다. 에코열 24개의 Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) 펄스 시권스를 사용하여 $^{17}O$의 스핀-스핀 이완시간(T2)을 측정하고 이렇게 얻어진 T2 데이터는 최소자승법을 이용하여 Solomon-Bloembergen방정식에 fitting시켜서 최종적으로 각 조명제의 물분자 교환율을 계산하였다. 결과 : 측정된 각 조영제의 물분자 교환시간은 300k의 온도에서는 Gd-DTPA의 경우 0.427, Gd-DTPA-BMA의 경우 $1.99{\;}{\mu}s$, Gd-DOTA의 경우 $0.27{\;}{\mu}s$, Gd-EOB-DTPA의 경우 $0.11{\;}{\mu}s$로 나타났으며 이러한 물분자 교환시간은 온도에 따라 변화함을 알았다. 물분자 교환시간의 온도 의존성은 모든 조영제에서 지수함수의 형태로 나타났으나 조영제에 따라 온도가 올라감에 따라 물분자 교환시간이 감소하는 감소율에서는 차이를 나타내었다. 결론 : 상자성 조영제의 relaxation enhancement 기전을 이해하는데는 물분자 교환율에 대한 정보가 매우 중요하며 이러한 물분자 교환율을 정확히 측정하는데는 $^{17}O-NMR$기법이 매우 유용함을 알 수 있었다.
