Local field distribution in the mixed state of type II superconductors has been numerically calculated and compared with $^{11}$B NMR spectra for YNi$_2B_2C$ single crystals. We find that only small distortion of vortex positions from the perfect lattice points is enough to smear out the low frequency shoulder. As the vortices are further distorted, the line shape changes from an asymmetric shape with a high frequency tail to a symmetric Gaussian line shape. It is found that the second moment of the field distribution has a major contribution from the high frequency tail. Consequently, a linewidth of the full width at half maximum calculated from the second moment assuming for a Gaussian line shape is overestimated.

Single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay, also called comet assay, is a rapid and sensitive method to detect DNA damage in single cell level. To evaluate the DNA damage of lymphocytes of pesticides sprayers, SCGE assay was carried out for 50 pesticides sprayer and 58 control subjects. They were interviewed with structured questionnaire to get the information about the kinds and amount of pesticide. Insecticides and fungicides were predominant among pesticides. Major components of pesticides were organophosphorus, organosulfate, cartap, carbamates, and triazole. Sprayed pesticides were classified into two groups. Group I included organophosphorus, organoarsenic, organotin, tetrazine, triazole and gramoxone, which were known to cause DNA damages. Group II pesticide were carbamates, surfactants, organosulfates, etc., which were not found as DNA damaging agents in scientific documents. Olive tail moments of 100 lymphocytes were measured by KOMET 3.1 program for each person. The means of tail moments were compared between farmers exposed to pesticides and control subjects. Farmers showed higher tail moments than control subjects (2.07$\pm$1.40 vs 1.53$\pm$0.77, p<0.05). The means of tail moments also were compared among group I sprayers (n=36), group II sprayers (n=24) and, control subject, and the means or tail moments were 3.4s$\pm$3.2o, 2.66$\pm$2.20 and 1.53$\pm$0.77 respectively. The difference between means of group I sprayers and controls was statistically significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, this study showed higher DNA damage in farmers exposed to pesticides than control subjects, and comet assay could be useful as a biological monitoring method of genotoxic pesticides for farmers.

An insect-like flapping-wing flying-robot should be able to produce flight forces and control moments at the same time only by flapping wings, because there is no control surface at tail just like an insect. In this paper, design principles for the flapping mechanism and control moment generator are briefly explained, characteristics measured force and moment generations of the robot are presented, and finally controlled flight of the flying robot is demonstrated. The present insect-like robot comprises a lightweight flapping mechanism that can produce a flapping angle larger than $180^{\circ}$ and a control moment generator that produces pitch, roll, and yaw moments by adjusting location of the trailing edges at the wing roots. The measured force and moment data show that the control input angles less than $9^{\circ}$ would not significantly reduce the vertical force generation. It is also observed that the pitch, roll, and yaw control moments are produced only by the corresponding control input. The simple PID control theory is used for the controlled flight of the flying robot, controlling pitch, roll, and yaw motions. The flying robot successfully demonstrated controlled flight for about 40 seconds.

In the case of the general helicopter among rotorcraft, length of the rotor blade for thrust-generation is longer than that of fuselage and tail rotor is required in order to compensate moment of the fuselage. For those reasons, enough space for take-off and landing should be secured and an accessibility for building is low. Also, the accidents caused by tail rotor occur frequently. However, the case of counter-rotating has merits that tail rotor is unnecessary as well as length of the rotor blade can be shortened but has a weakness that the weight of body is increased. In the present study, aerodynamic force measurement on single rotor system equipped with NACA0012 airfoil, which has aspect ratio of 6 and chord length of 35.5 mm, was carried out. And measurement was conducted with blade which has a half size of the former blade by using single motor counter-rotating. Aerodynamic force measurement was acquired by using 6-component balances and coefficients of thrust and power were derived along the pitch angle varying from 0$^{\circ}$ to 90$^{\circ}$ with the increment of 10$^{\circ}$. Those aerodynamic force data will be utilized for the design and production of brand-new counter-rotating rotor blade system which has same thrust with single blade system and provides a good accessibility to building by reducing its blade length.

The alkaline comet assay, employing a single-cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE), is a rapid, simple and sensitive technique for visualizing and measuring DNA damage leading to strand breakage in individual mammalian cells. The protecting effect of pretreatment with vitamin C and cysteine on the DNA damage of gamma ray was investigated in mice splenic lymphocytes. Vitamin C and cysteine were administered orally for five consecutive days before irradiation. Four week old ICR male mice were irradiated wish 3.5Gy of γ-radiation and were sacrificed 3 days later. Spleens were taken for DNA damage examination by Comet assay and the tail moments of DNA single -strand breaks in tole splenic lymphocytes were evaluated. The results show that pretreatment with vitamin C and cysteine were effective in protecting against DNA damage by gamma ray. Administration of antioxidants like vitamin C and cysteine to mice before irradiation was effective in reducing the tail moment of splenic lymphocytes DNA.

본 연구는 건강한 성인 남녀를 대상으로 glutathione S-transferase (GST)M1 및 T1 유전자 다형성에 따라 한식에서 주로 섭취하는 식물성 식품군과 한식 식단의 DNA 손상 감소효과를 측정하여 유전적 민감도가 어떻게 나타나는지를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 건강한 성인 남녀 59명을 대상으로 혈액을 채취하여 GST genotype을 분류하였으며 그 중 17명을 선발하여 DNA 손상 감소효과를 Comet assay를 이용하여 측정하였고 DNA damage relative score로 나타냈다. 제 5기 2차년도 국민건강영양조사를 활용하여 한국인이 많이 섭취하는 식물성 식품을 10가지 식품군 (감자류, 견과류, 곡류, 과일류, 김치류, 두류, 버섯류, 오일류 채소류 해조류)으로 분류 후, 각 식품군별 총 섭취량의 1% 이상을 섭취한 84종의 식품을 한식 식물성 식품으로 최종 선정하였으며 한식 식단 (Korean diet)은 한국영양학회에서 발행한 [2010 한국인 영양섭취 기준]에 제시되어 있는 1주일 표준식단 (2,000 kcal/day)을 사용하였다. GSTM1 유전자 다형성에 따른 한식 식물성 식품군의 Tail moment로 본 DNA 손상 감소효과는 곡류와 오일류에서만 GSTM1 wild type보다 mutant type에서 유의하게 높았다. 이에 비해 DNA 손상 감소 효과를 % DNA in tail과 Tail moment로 본 결과, 견과류 과일류 채소류 버섯류 김치류 해조류에서 GSTT1 mutant type에 비해 wild type에서 유의하게 더 높게 나타났다. GSTM1과 GSTT1의 combined genotype에 따라 한식 식물성 식품의 DNA 손상 감소효과를 본 결과, 과일류, 김치류, 버섯류, 채소류, 해조류는 1군 (GSTM1+/GSTT1+) 및 3군 (GSTM1-/GSTT1+)에서, 오일류는 3군 (GSTM1-/GSTT1+)에서 DNA 손상 감소 효과가 유의하게 높았으며. 감자류, 견과류, 곡류, 두류, Total은 DNA 손상 감소 효과가 2군 (GSTM1+/GSTT1-) 및 3군 (GSTM1-/GSTT1+)에서 유의하게 높아 식품군에 따라 GST 유전자 다형성에 따른 DNA 손상 감소효과가 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한식 식단은 DNA 손상의 세 가지 지표인 % DNA in tail, Tail moment, Tail length로 측정해본 결과 GSTM1의 경우 wild type에서 mutant type보다 더 크게 나타났으며, GSTT1의 경우는 genotype에 따라 DNA 손상이 달라지는 경향은 있었지만 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결론적으로 한식에서 주로 섭취하는 식물성 식품군에서는 식품에 따라 부분적으로 GSTM1은 mutant type에서, GSTT1은 wild type에서 DNA 손상 보호효과가 더 크게 나타났으며, GSTM1과 GSTT1의 combined genotype에 따른 DNA 손상 보호효과는 식품군에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 반면, 한식 식단에서는 DNA 손상 보호효과가 GSTM1 wild type에서 mutant type보다 더 크게 나타났으며, GSTT1 genotype에는 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 한식 식물성 식품군 및 식사패턴의 항산화 기능 우수성을 증명하는 기초자료가 될 것이며, 나아가 개인별 유전자에 따른 항산화 맞춤영양연구를 시작하는 시발점이 될 수 있을 것이다. 앞으로 GST 유전자 다형성에 따른 한식과 한식 식물성 식품군의 유전적 민감도를 더 명확하게 규명하기 위해서는 대상 인원을 늘려 수행하는 광범위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

The usage and types of chemicals are advancing, specializing, large-scaled increasing, and new chemical exposed workers are concerning to occupational disease. The generation of reactive oxygen in the body from carcinogen, mutation and DNA damage in cancer is protected by natural antioxidants (phytochemicals) with antimutagenic effect. There were many reports of ginsenoside Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$ grievances of the genetic mutation to suppress the effect confirm the genetic toxicity test with chromosomal aberration test and the Comet (SCGE) assay confirmed the suppression effect occurring chromosomal DNA damage. We had wanted to evaluate the compatibility and sensitivity between the chromosomal aberration (CA) test and the Comet assay. We used the CA test and Comet assay to evaluate the anti-genotoxicity of ginsenoside Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$, in CHO-K1 (Chinese hamster ovary fibroblast) cell in vitro, composed negative control (solvent), positive control (benzo[a]pyrene), test group (carcinogen+variety concentration of ginsenoside) group. The positive control was benzo[a]pyrene (50 $\mu$M), well-known carcinogen, and the negative control was the 1 % DMSO solvent. The test group was a variety concentration of ginsenoside Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$ with 10$^{-8}$%, 10$^{-6}$%, 10$^{-4}$%, 10$^{-2}$%, 1%, 10%. In chromo-somal aberration test, we measured the number of cells with abnormally structured chromosome. In Comet assay, the Olive tail moment (OTM) and Tail length (TL) values were measured. The ratio of cell proliferation was increased 8.3% in 10$^{-8}$%, 10$^{-6}$%, 10$^{-4}$%, 10$^{-2}$%, 1%, 10% Rb$_1$ treated groups, and increased 10.4% in 10$^{-10}$%, 10$^{-8}$%, 10$^{-6}$%, 10$^{-4}$%, 10$^{-2}$%, 1% Rg$_1$ treated groups. In the CA test, the number of chromosomal aberration was decreased all the Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$ treated groups. In the Comet assay, the OTM values were decreased in all the Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$ treated groups. To evaluate the compatibility between CA and Comet assay, we compared the reducing ratio of chromosomal abnormalities with its OTM values, it was identified the antimutagenicity of ginsenoside, but it was more sensitive the CA test than the Comet assay. Ginsenoside Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$ significantly decrease the number of cells with chromosomal aberration, and decrease the extent of DNA migration. Therefore, ginsenoside Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$ are thought as an antioxidant phytochemicals to protect mutagenicity. The in vitro Comet assay seems to be less sensitive than the in vitro chromosomal aberration test.

This study introduces simple derivation of optimum load factors based on both cornell's MFOSM (Mean First Order End Moment) methods and Lind - Hasofers AFOSM (Advanced First Order 2nd Moment) methods and demonstrates the relationship between the optimum reliability, the load factors, the probability distributions selected to model the load, and a measure of relative failure cost. Although some of the cost parameters cannot be evaluated accurately and the upper tail characteristics of the distributions of the random loads remain uncertainty, this optimum reliability formulation provides insight on which Parameters are most significant in selecting appropriate load criteria for structure design.

A skewed double power function distribution is defined by a double power function distribution. We shall evaluate the coefficient of the skewness of a skewed double power function distribution. We shall obtain an approximate maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and a moment estimator (MME) of the skew parameter in the skewed double power function distribution, and compare simulated mean squared errors for those estimators. And we shall compare simulated MSEs of two proposed reliability estimators in two independent skewed double power function distributions with different skew parameters.
