Background: Nanotechnology opens new applications in many fields including medicine. Among all metallic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (silver NPS) have proved to be the most effective against a large variety of organisms including toxic cyanobacteria. Materials and Methods: Silver NPs were biosynthesized in vivo with different alga species namely, Spirulina piatensis, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus oh/iquus following two scenarios. First: by suspending a thoroughly washed algae biomass in 1 mM aqueous $AgN0_3$ solution. Second: by culturing them individually in culture media containing the same concentration of $AgN0_3$. Silver NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive analysis (EDX) and Fourier transform infra-red (FfIR) spectroscopy. The biosynthesized silver NPs were tested for cytotoxic activity against a cancer promoter cyanobacteruim Microcystis aeruginosa, considering effects on cell viability and chlorophyll content. Results: The surface plasmon band indicated the biosynthesis of silver NPs at ~400 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the silver NPs had a mean average size below 100 nm. Energy-dispersive analysis X-ray (EDX) spectra confirmed the presence of silver element. FfIR spectral analyses suggested that proteins and or polysaccharides may be responsible for the biosynthesis of silver NPs and (-COO-) of carboxylate ions is responsible for stabilizing them. The toxic potentialities ofthe biosynthesized silver NPs against the cancer promoter cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa showed high reduction in viable cells count and the total chlorophyll content. Conclusions: The potential activity of the biosynthesized silver NPs from the studied algae species against Microcystis aernginosa cells is expected to be mainly mediated by the release of silver ions (Ag+) from the particle surface and bioactive compounds as indicated by FfIR analysis.

본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC 부호화기의 성능 향상을 위해 고성능 CAVLC 부호화기의 하드웨어 구조를 제안한다. 기존의 CAVLC 부호화기는 변환계수의 재정렬 과정이 포함되어 변환계수를 저장해야 할 버퍼와 버퍼제어를 위한 추가적인 사이클이 필요하므로 하드웨어 면적이 증가하고 불필요한 사이클이 수행된다. 제안한 CAVLC는 CAVLC의 파라미터 중에 Runbefore를 순방향 탐색기법으로 계산하고 그 외 파라미터들은 역방향 탐색기법으로 계산하여 변환계수의 재정렬 과정을 수행하지 않는다. 또한, 제안한 CAVLC 부호화기에 조기 종료 모드를 적용하고 2단 파이프라인 구조를 사용하여 CAVLC의 수행 사이클 수를 감소시켰다. 제안한 CAVLC 부호화기의 하드웨어 구조를 매그나칩 공정 $0.18{\mu}m$ 셀 라이브러리로 합성한 결과, 최대동작 주파수는 125MHz이며 게이트 수는 17k이다. 제안한 CAVLC 부호화기의 하드웨어 구조를 H.264/AVC 표준 참조 소프트웨어 JM13.2에서 추출한 데이터를 이용하여 테스트한 결과, $16{\times}16$ 매크로블록을 처리하는데 평균적으로 36.0사이클이 소요되어 기존의 CAVLC 부호화기보다 성능이 57.8% 향상됨을 확인하였다.

It is said that the number of people using public transportation has risen about 220 thousand over 3 years which was 1019 people average a day in 2006 and 1041 people last year. It is also said that the number of people using subway has increased by 198 thousand and the number of people using bus by 22 thousand. Can you imagine how many door engines work at the same time if we count Metro line no.1 to no.4 which consist of total 120 subway stations? A train has 80 door engines and Metro line trains have 9600 door engines all together. Which explains it quite simple how much Satefy, Durability and Sustainability need to be focused in Door Engines. Although it's not the whole part of door engines in Seoul Metro Line, And Metro No.4's door engines are operated by the method called mixture of mechanical type and belt type. And the last one is being used in the brand-new Metro train line No.3 which is being operated by electricity motor, instead of the old methods which use air pressure to operate a door engine. I'm sure you will agree that Safety is the first priority of Metro train and next follow comfortability and quickness. I think all I've talked so far make it the first step for the Safety of Metro train for you to understand the unit of a Door Engine.

In the present study, we developed a nuclear stethoscope interfaced with a personal computer (APPLE- II) and evaluated it's performances as compared with the gamma camera. This single-probe, ECG-gated system has been used for displaying the left ventricular time-activity curves, the peak ejection time and its rate, the peak filling time and its rate, and the R-R interval distribution. The radioactivity was measured at every 10msec around the ventricular region, where the activity curves shows the maximal peak to peak variations. The background activity was measured around the lung area showing its counts approximately 50% of the end-diastolic count with minimal variations. The average time-activity curves of 100 beats were used for analysis in the equilibrium study after intravenous injection of 15-20mCi of Tc. The ejection fractions measured by the nuclear stethoscope(Y) were compared with those measured by gamma camera(X) in 47 patients with various heart diseases. The correlation coefficient between two measurements was 0.766 with a relation of Y=1.04 x-8.48. Also, the high reproducibility was obtained for the same patient. Also, the high reproducibility was obtained for the same patient. From this study, we conclude that this device is useful for continuous monitoring in the intensive care unit, as it is portable, compact, and inexpensive.

Algal blooms in potable water supplies are becoming an increasingly prevalent and serious water quality problem around the world. In addition to precipitating taste and odor problems, blooms damage the environment, and some classes like cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) release toxins that can threaten human health, even causing death. There is a recognized need in the water industry for models that can accurately forecast in real-time algal bloom events for planning and mitigation purposes. In this study, using data for an interconnected system of rivers and reservoirs operated by a New Jersey water utility, various ANN models, including both discrete prediction and classification models, were developed and tested for forecasting counts of three different algal classes for one-week and two-weeks ahead periods. Predictor model inputs included physical, meteorological, chemical, and biological variables, and two different temporal schemes for processing inputs relative to the prediction event were used. Despite relatively limited historical data, the discrete prediction ANN models generally performed well during validation, achieving relatively high correlation coefficients, and often predicting the formation and dissipation of high algae count periods. The ANN classification models also performed well, with average classification percentages averaging 94 percent accuracy. Despite relatively limited data events, this study demonstrates that with adequate data collection, both in terms of the number of historical events and availability of important predictor variables, ANNs can provide accurate real-time forecasts of algal population counts, as well as foster increased understanding of important cause and effect relationships, which can be used to both improve monitoring programs and forecasting efforts.

For a period of over 6 years, more than 160,000 milk samples were collected and analyzed to determine the influence of different seasonal temperatures and geographic regional location on milk composition in South Korea. Fat, protein, lactose, non fat milk solids (NFMS) and total solids (TS) contents were significantly higher among dairy cows milked in winter season than other seasons (p<0.05). In contrast, freezing point (FP), milk urea nitrogen (MUN) and somatic cell count (SCC) were significantly higher in summer season than other seasons (p<0.05). The average SCC in the autumn season was $358{\times}10^3$/ml, which was lower than any other seasons (p<0.05). These results may be due to the changes in temperature during different seasons. Meanwhile, milk produced by dairy cows in central region had higher fat, protein, lactose, NFMS, TS and MUN and had lower SCC compared to other regions (p<0.05). Fat, TS, FP, MUN and citric acid in northeast region were lower than other regions (p<0.05). The SCC was significantly higher in southeast region than those of other regions (p<0.05). As a result, it might be possible that the differences in feeding management in each different region may affect the milk composition. In conclusion, present results indicated that milk composition is clearly influenced by both season and regional location. Therefore, based on these results, development of different feeding systems, according to season and region is needed to produce high quality and satiable milk production.
