Dimethyldioxirane (DMD), which is a source of active oxygen, is effective agent that can be used in chemical pulp bleaching. In this study, delignification of kraft bagasse pulp has been carried out by using DMD. The effect of the applied charge of DMD (as active oxygen) and pH of the delignification medium were studied. The optimum conditions of the applied DMD charge and pH of the delignification reaction were achieved at pH range from 8~9, 2% of DMD (as active oxygen) and the rest of delignification reaction conditions were $25^{\circ}C$, 60 min, and 12% pulp consistency. The development of brightness per unit kappa number removal (ΔBrightness/ Δ Kappa number) has highest value at the optimum condition. The study showed that the reactivity of kraft bagasse pulp be enhanced to wards alkaline hydrogen peroxide bleaching by pulp treatment with DMD.

In this paper, the motion coordination algorithm of mobile agents in active sensor network is proposed to track the dynamic boundary for environmental monitoring. While most of dynamic boundary tracking algorithms in the literature were studied under the assumption that the boundary and/or its evolving rate is known a priori, the proposed algorithm is assumed that the individual active agent can measure the state of environment locally without any information of the boundary. When the boundary is evolving dynamically, the formation of active agents is designed to achieve two objectives. One is to track boundary layer based on the measured information and a small deviation. The other is to maintain a uniform distance between adjacent agents. The algorithm structure based on a state diagram is proposed to achieve these two objectives. Finally, it will be shown in the simulations that all given agents converge to a desired boundary layer and maintain a formation along the boundary. (e.g., a circle, an ellipse, a triangle and a rectangle)

Toward the development of universal, sensitive, and convenient method of DNA (or RNA) detection, two kinds of electrochemically active DNA ligands. acridine - viologen and oligonucleotide - ferrocene conjugate, were prepared. Thermodynamic and electrochemical study revealed that these probes bound strongly to DNA, and showed a typical cyclic voltammograms, indicating a potential for use as a reversible electrochemical labelling agent for DNA. Especially, using the electrochemically active oligonucleotide, we have been able to demonstrate the detection of DNA at femtomole levels by HPLC equipped with ordinary electrochemical detector (ECD). These results lead to the conclusion that the redox-active probes are very useful for the microanalysis of nucleic acid due to the stabilily of the complexes, high detection sensitivity, and wide applicability to the target structures (single- and double strands) and sequences.

The researchers in the field of cognitive science and learning science suggest that the teaching activity induces the elaborative and meaningful learning. Actually, lots of research findings have shown the beneficial effect of learning by teaching such as peer tutoring. But peer tutoring has some limitations in the practical learning context. To overcome some limitations, the new concept of "learning by teaching" through the agent called Teachable Agent. The teachable agent is a modified version of traditional intelligent tutoring system that assigns a role of tutor to teach the agent. The teachable agent monitors individual difference and provides a student with a chance for deep learning and motivation to learn by allowing them to play an active role in the process of learning. That is, The teaching activity induces the elaborative and meaningful learning. This study compared the effects of our teachable agent, KORI, and peer tutoring on the cognition and motivation. The field experiment was conducted to examine whether learning by teaching the teachable agent would be more effective than peer tutoring and reading condition. In the experiment, all participants took 30 minutes lesson on rock and rock cycle together to acquire the base knowledge in the domain. After the lesson, participants were randomly assigned to one of the three experimental conditions; reading condition, peer tutoring condition, and teachable agent condition. Next, participants of each condition moved into separated place and performed their own learning activity. After finishing all of the learning activities in each condition, all participants were instructed to rate the interestingness using a 5-point scale on their own learning activity and leaning material, and were given the comprehension test. The results indicated that the teachable agent condition and the peer tutoring condition showed more interests in the learning than the reading condition. It is suggested that teachable agent has more advantages in overcoming the several practical limitations of peer tutoring such as restrictions in time and place, tutor's cognitive burden, unnecessary interaction during peer tutoring. The applicability and prospects of the teachable agent as an efficient substitute for peer tutoring and traditional intelligent tutoring system were also discussed.

The mechanisms of benzene toxicity is not fully elucidated, although the metabolism of benzene is very well understood. In order to study the mechanism of benzene toxicity, we investigated DNA damage induced by benzene metabolite, 1,2,4-benzenetriol (BT) in HL-60 cells by alkaline comet assay. To investigate the mechanism of cellular DNA damage induced by BT, the cells were treated with antioxidant such as vitamin C, SOD, catalase, and chelating agent such as deferoxamine (DFO), bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCDS). BT induced DNA damage in dose-dependent manner at concentration between 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 100$\mu\textrm{m}$. The antioxidant vitamin C itself induced DNA damage at higher concentration. The DNA damage induced by BT in HL-60 cells was protected at low concentraiton of vitamin C whereas no protective effect was found at high concentration. In hibitory effect of SOD on DNA damage by BT was observed and this suggested that BT produce superoxide anion (O2-) causing DNA damage. Catalase protected BT-induced DNA damage suggesting that BT produce H2O2 during autooxidation of BT. Both Fe(II)-specific cheiating agent, deferoxamine (DFO) and Cu(I)-specific chelating agent, bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCDS) inhibited BT0induced DNA damage. This suggested that DNA damage was caused by active species which was produced DAN damage. This suggested that DNA damage was caused by active species which was produced by the autooxidation of BT in the presence of Cu(II) and Fe(III). These findings suggest that reactive oxygen species play an important role in the mechanism of toxicity induced by benzene metabolites.

A microgrid (MG) with integrated renewable energy resources can benefit both utility companies and customers. As a result, they are attracting a great deal of attention. The control of a MG is very important for the stable operation of a MG. The droop-control method is popular since it avoids circulating currents among the converters without using any critical communication between them. Traditional droop control methods have the drawback of an inherent trade-off between power sharing and voltage and frequency regulation. An adaptive droop control method is proposed, which can operate in both the island mode and the grid-connected mode. It can also ensure smooth switching between these two modes. Furthermore, the voltage and frequency of a MG can be restored by using the proposed droop controller. Meanwhile, the active power can be dispatched appropriately in both operating modes based on the capacity or running cost of the Distributed Generators (DGs). The global information (such as the average voltage and output active power of the MG and so on) required by the proposed droop control method to restore the voltage and frequency deviations can be acquired distributedly based on the Multi Agent System (MAS). Simulation studies in PSCAD demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Recent development of teachable agent provides learners with active roles as knowledge constructors and focuses on the individualization. The aim of this adaptive agent is not only to maximize the learner's cognitive functions but also to enhance the interests and motivation to learn. In order to establish the relationships among user characteristics and response patterns and to extract the algorithm among variables, we measured the individual characteristics and analyzed logs of the teachable agent named KORI (KORea university Intelligent agent) through the student modeling. A correlation analysis was conducted to identify the relationships among individual characteristics, user responses, and learning outcomes. Among hundreds of possible relationships between numerous variables in three dimensions, nine key user responses were extracted, which were highly correlated with either individual characteristics and learning outcomes. The results suggest that certain type of learner responses or the combination of the responses would be useful indices to predict the learners' individual characteristics and ongoing learning outcome. This study proposed a new type of dynamic assessment for individual differences and ongoing cognitive/motivational learning outcomes through the computation of responses without measuring them directly. The construction of individualized student model based on the ongoing response pattern of the user that are highly correlated with the individual differences and learning outcome may be the useful methodology to understand the learner's dynamic change during learning.

이 연구에서는 기존의 지능형 교수기계와 또래 튜터링의 단점을 보완하여 '가르치기를 통한 학습'을 위한 교수가능 에이전트(Teachable Agent, 이하 TA) 의 이론적 배경 및 설계방안을 제시하고자 한다. TA는 학습자가 컴퓨터 에이전트를 가르치는 과정을 통해 학습하는 시스템으로 교수 Module, 묻고 답하기 Module, 테스트 Module, 학습자료 Module 등의 4 가지 Module로 구성된다. 교수 Module에서는 개념도(concept map)의 구성을 통해 튜터 역할을 하는 학습자가 TA 의 심성모형 (mental model)을 수정하고 update하게 되며, 묻고 답하기 Module에서는 인터렉티브 창을 통해 튜터와 TA가 제한된 방식으로 학습내용에 관한 질문과 응답을 함으로써 개념도를 수정보완하게 된다. 테스트 Module에서는 튜터가 가르친 TA가 미리 정해놓은 학습목표에 도달하였는지를 평가하게 된다. 테스트 결과 TA가 일정 수준에 도달하지 못한 경우에는 개념도의 재수정 과정을 통해 계속적인 학습이 이루어지도록 한다. 학습자료 Module은 튜터가 참고할 자료를 제공해 주는 Module이다. 이러한 TA는 튜터의 역할을 담당하는 학습자에게 깊이 있는 인지적 처리와 능동적인 학습동기를 경험하도록 함으로써 실제 교육현장에서의 유용한 교수/학습도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
