The discrimination of the source for xenon gases' release can provide an important clue for detecting the nuclear activities in the neighboring countries. In this paper, three machine learning techniques, which are logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN), were applied to develop the predictive models for discriminating the source for xenon gases' release based on the xenon isotopic activity ratio data which were generated using the depletion codes, i.e., ORIGEN in SCALE 6.2 and Serpent, for the probable sources. The considered sources for the neighboring countries of South Korea include PWRs, CANDUs, IRT-2000, Yongbyun 5 MWe reactor, and nuclear tests with plutonium and uranium. The results of the analysis showed that the overall prediction accuracies of models with SVM and KNN using six inputs, all exceeded 90%. Particularly, the models based on SVM and KNN that used six or three xenon isotope activity ratios with three classification categories, namely reactor, plutonium bomb, and uranium bomb, had accuracy levels greater than 88%. The prediction performances demonstrate the applicability of machine learning algorithms to predict nuclear threat using ratios of xenon isotopic activity.

Objective: Whereas some studies have suggested that source monitoring is significantly associated with working memory and inhibitory control, both of which are components of executive functioning, other studies have argued otherwise. The author of this study determined that such contradictory findings are a result of heterogeneity in the assessment methods for source monitoring. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring whether the relationships among source monitoring, working memory, and inhibitory control may be altered depending on the differences of source recall conditions. Methods: Eighty children aged 5-8 years saw interesting activities via two different sources. Their source memories on the activity were assessed subsequently. The children were assigned to either the "continuous" source recall group or "non-continuous" source recall group. Both groups participated in working memory and inhibitory control tasks. Results: The results showed that working memory was significantly related to source monitoring regardless of the condition of source recall (continuous vs non-continuous). On the other hand, inhibitory control was significantly associated with source monitoring only in the non-continuous source recall group. Conclusion: Based on these results, the author discussed the need to consider the conditions of source recall during investigative interviews with children in order to induce accurate source monitoring, as part of our effort to interpret the inconsistency of results in the literature and to draw potential applications.

리그닌분해균 LSK-27 균주로부터 Manganese peroxidase (MnP) 생산을 위한 배지조건과 Mn(II) 첨가효과를 검토하였다. LSK-27균주에 의한 균체외 MnP 생산에는 탄소원보다 질소원의 영향이 크게 나타났다. 질소원으로는 peptone 이나 yeast extract와 같은 복합 유기질소원이 효과적이었으며 특히 질소원의 농도가 높은 조건에서 MnP activity가 우수하였다. 질소원으로서 peptone 농도 1.0%까지는 뚜렷한 activity 증가를 가져왔으나 1.5%이상의 농도에서는 MnP activity 증가효과가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 반면에 탄소원의 농도에 의한 MnP activity 증가효과는 glucose농도 1.0% 에서 3.0%까지 거의 비슷한 수준이었다. Mn(II)는 높은 MnP 유도효과를 나타냈으며 첨가농도 100ppm 까지 MnP activity의 증가효과를 보였고 그 이상의 농도에서는 MnP 생산이 억제되었다. Mn(II)는 배양 2일 후에 첨가하였을 때 MnP activitv 증가가 가장 높게 나타났다.

Background: Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge has been used in traditional medicine. The type of light source has an effect on the growth properties and composition of functional compounds in plants. In this study, we analyzed the effects of different artificial light sources on the growth characteristics as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of S. miltiorrhiza. Methods and Results: Seedlings of S. miltiorrhiza were grown under various artificial light sources, including fluorescent light (FL), light emitting diode (LED), and microwave electrodeless light (MEL), for 8 weeks. Growth characteristics were the best in plants treated with MEL. DPPH scavenging activity of the shoot was more pronounced with the FL treatments, while the roots were more active in plants grown under single wavelength lights (i.e., blue and red LEDs). Among the different light source treatments, the blue LED resulted in a higher total phenolic content in the plants. Furthermore, growing plants growth under the red LED enhanced their total flavonoid content. Notably, the antimicrobial properties of plants varied significantly between light source treatments in this study. Except for E. coli, all the tested microorganisms were susceptible to the plant extracts. Conclusions: The type of light source may be an important parameter for the enhancement of plant growth and functional compounds in S. miltiorrhiza.

It is important to estimate the radiation activity of the nuclear fuel which is a source term of the loss of coolant accident. The purpose of this study is to identify the most important parameters of the source term calculation based on three fuel types: typical natural uranium CANDU fuel, slightly enriched uranium and DUPIC fuel. The characteristics of the radiation source term were analyzed through sensitivity calculations of the linear power, fuel turnup, and the power shape.(omitted)

A bacterial strain CFCl, which produced an extracellular cycloinulooligosaccharide fructanotransferase(CFTase), was isolated from soil. The isolated strain was identified as a strain of Bacillus sp. The synthesis of CFTase by the bacterium was found to be induced by inulin which was added to the culture medium as a carbon source. The highest activity of CFTase was observed at pH 7.5 and $37^{\circ}C$ in the medium containing 4% inulin and 0.5% peptone as a carbon source and a nitrogen source, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the enzyme activity in the culture supernatant reached the highest level of 85 munits/ml after 96 h cultivation.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to have a range of biological activities, including anti-carcinogenic, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-adipogenic and anti-diabetogenic effects. Recent reports also showed that CLA has free radical scavenging capacity, which may have health benefits for human beings. The current study was performed to investigate the effect of structured lipid (SL)-containing CLA on plasma lipids and hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity. Sprague-Dawley mts were fed 5% and 10% SL-containing normal diet for 6 wks and these groups were compared to rats fed 5% and 10% corn oil. In plasma lipids, total-cholesterol was not affected by fat source or dietary fat level while triglyceride level decreased significantly in groups fed 10% fat diet compared to the other groups. Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level decreased significantly in the S5 and S10 groups compared to the C5 and C10 groups, although hepatic TBARS level was not altered by fat source. On the other hand, in terms of hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity, superoxide dismutase activity increased in the S10 group, whereas catalase activity decreased in the S10 group. Glutathione peroxidase activity decreased significantly in the SL groups compared to the C5 group. Glutathione reductase activity increased and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity decreased in the C10 group compared to the C5 and C5 groups. In conclusion, the free radical scavenging activity of CLA seemed to suppress oxidative stress, which reduced lipid peroxidation resulting in lower hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity.

수질 감시를 위한 물벼룩 활동량 측정을 실시간으로 측정하는 하드웨어를 구현 하였다. 물벼룩은 수질 감시에 빈번히 시용하는 살아있는 생물학적 센서라고 할 수 있다. 물벼룩은 수질이 오염이 되면 활동량의 변화가 나타나기 때문에 물벼룩의 활동량을 감시함으로서 해당 수질의 독성 물질의 유입을 즉각 확인할 수 있다. 물벼룩의 활동량 조사는 기존의 방법은 LED를 이용한 발광부와 Photo TR.을 이용한 수광부를 사용하는 방법이 있으나 물벼룩이 빛에 민감하게 반응하고 측정 대상인 물벼룩을 기준에 두고 2 개의 장치(발광부와 수광부)를 두는 불편한 점이 있었다. 본 논문은 기존의 방식을 대체하기 위해 CCD 카메라를 사용한다. CCD 카메라의 영상처리를 위해 이미지 버퍼에 저장한 후 컴퓨터나 DSP를 사용하여 소프트웨어로 일괄 처리를 하는 것이 아니라 실시간으로 하드웨어로 처리하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 그리고 구현된 하드웨어로 수질 경보를 위한 원격 모니터링 임베디드 시스템을 구축하였다.

정보통신기술의 발전으로 교육분야에서도 시간, 장소 및 기기의 제약없이 학습이 가능한 스마트 교육이 활성화되고 있다. 그러나 주로 콘텐츠 기반의 교육 솔루션들이 제공되고 있고 학습자의 개별 특성을 파악하여 개별화된 학습을 제공하는 시스템 구축은 상대적으로 저조하다. 유아교육에서 자유선택활동은 중요한 놀이 활동이지만 교사들의 임상적 관찰에 의존함으로써 효율적으로 시행되지 못하고 있다. 최근 대두되고 있는 초연결성에 기반을 둔 사물인터넷 기술을 자유선택활동에 적용한다면 객관적이고 정형화된 데이터를 축적할 수 있고 이러한 데이터는 유아들의 개별화된 활동 유형과 놀이 형태 분석에 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 오픈소스 하드웨어 기반으로 사물인터넷 환경을 구축하여 유아들의 자유선택활동을 관찰하는 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 제안된 시스템은 유아들의 활동정보를 축적하여 분석 자료로 제공함으로써 교사들의 업무 경감과 개별 유아들에 대한 맞춤 교육 자료로 활용될 것이다.
