  • MEMS(micro electro mechanical systems) is a technology for the manufacture hyperfine structure, as a micro-sensor and a driving device, by a variety of materials such as silicon and polymer. Many study for utilizing the MEMS applications have been performed in variety of fields, such as light devices, high frequency equipments, bio-technology, energy applications and other applications. Especially, the field of Bio-MEMS related with bio-technology is very attractive, because it have the potential technology for the miniaturization of the medical diagnosis system. Bio-MEMS, the compound word formed from the words 'Bio-technology' and 'MEMS', is hyperfine devices to analyze biological signals in vitro or in vivo. It is extending the range of its application area, by combination with nano-technology(NT), Information Technology(IT). The LOC(lab-on-a-chip) in Bio-MEMS, the comprehensive measurement system combined with Micro fluidic systems, bio-sensors and bio-materials, is the representative technology for the miniaturization of the medical diagnosis system. Therefore, many researchers around the world are performing research on this area. In this paper, the application, development and market trends of Bio-MEMS are investigated.

  • This study is performed to investigate the optimal cropping systems to allow cultivation of upland crops to the paddy rice land. This experiment was conducted at Anseong-si Gyeonggi province of Korea in 2015. In order to investigate growth and yield characteristics of foxtail millet, proso millet and sorghum by different paddy-upland rotation systems, three crops foxtail millet, proso millet and sorghum with four varieties of Samdachal, Samdamae, Kyeongkwan1, Hwanggeumjo in foxtail millet, Leebaekchal, Manhongchal, Hwangsilchal, Hwanggeumgijang in proso millet and Nampungchal, Moktaksusu, Aneunbangisusu, Hwanggeumchal in sorghum were examined. Four paddy-upland rotation systems of paddy-upland rotation, paddy-upland-upland rotation, paddy-upland-upland-upland rotation, and upland-paddy-upland rotation system were tested. Days from seeding to heading and ripening of foxtail millet was the shortest in the paddy-upland-upland-upland rotation system, but proso millet and sorghum did not show statistical difference among four rotation systems. In the average of culm length, paddy-upland-upland-upland rotation system showed the highest culm length in foxtail millet (141.5cm), proso millet (159.6cm) and sorghum (138.6cm) respectively among four paddy-upland rotation systems. In average yield per 10a, foxtail millet and proso millet showed the highest each 234.3kg/10a, 176.2kg/10a in paddy-upland-upland-upland rotation system, whereas sorghum was the highest 221.2kg/10a in paddy-upland-upland rotation system. The most suitable crop and varieties in paddy-upland rotation system was judged to be sorghum among three crops and suitable varieties were Samdachal in foxtail millet, Leebaekchal in proso millet and Nampungchal in sorghum respectively.

  • This study was carried out to develop methods of reducing the effect of solar illumination on pixel gray-levels of machine vision for agricultural field use. Two kinds of monochrome CCD cameras with manual and auto-iris lenses were used to take pictures within a range of 15 to 120 klux of solar illumination. A camera having more precise automatic control functions gave much better result. Four kinds of indices using pixel gray-level of the $99\%$ white DRS (diffuse reflectance standard) as a reference were tried to compensate pixel gray-levels of an image for variable illumination. Coefficients of variation of the indices within a range of illumination were used as a criterion for comparison. The study concluded that an index of (A+B)/A, where A is gray-level of the $99\%$ DRS and B is gray-level of the tested material, gave the best consistency in the range of solar illumination.

  • As huge amount of literature including biological data is being generated after post genome era, it becomes difficult for researcher to find useful knowledge from the biological databases. Bio-text mining and related natural language processing technique are the key issues in the intelligent knowledge retrieval from the biological databases. We propose a bio-text mining technique for the biologists who find Knowledge from the huge literature. At first, web robot is used to extract and transform related literature from remote databases. To improve retrieval speed, we generate an inverted file for keywords in the literature. Then, text mining system is used for extracting given knowledge patterns and keywords. Finally, we construct a grid computing environment to guarantee processing speed in the text mining even for huge literature databases. In the real experiment for 10,000 bio-literatures, the system shows 95% precision and 98% recall.

  • Carbon sequestration on soil is one of the counter measurements against climate change in agricultural sector. Increasing incorporation of organic fertilizer would increase soil organic carbon (SOC) but it could bring high potential of nutrient losses which would result in water quality degradation. In this paper, literature review on soil organic carbon behavior according to agricultural management is presented. The results of field experiment to identify the effect of organic and commercial fertilizer applications on SOC and runoff water quality were also presented. Field experiment confirmed increased SOC and nutrient concentrations in runoff water as application rate of organic fertilizer increase. The potential use of simulation model to develop best agricultural management practice considering carbon sequestration and water quality conservation at the same time is discussed and monitoring and modeling strategies are also suggested to achieve the goal.

  • Even though it represents $6-13\%$ of human genomic DNA, Alu sequences are rarely found in coding regions. When in exon region, over $80\%$ of them are found in 3' untranslated region (UTR). Pseudogenes are an important component of human genome. Their functions are not clearly known and the mechanism of how they are generated is still debatable. Both the Alu and Pseudogenes are important research problems in molecular biology. mRNA is thought to be a prime source of pseudogene and active research is going on its molecular mechanism. We report, for the first time, that mRNAs containing Alu repeats at 3' UTR has a significantly high correlation with processed pseudogenes, suggesting a possibility that Alu containing mRNAs have a high tendency to become processed pseudogenes. It is known that about $10\%$ of all human genes have been transposed. Transposed genes at 3' UTR without Alu repeat have about two processed pseudogenes per gene on average while we found with statistical significance that a transposed gene with Alu had over three processed Pseudogenes on average. Therefore, we propose Alu repeats as a new and important factor in the generation of pseudogenes.

  • Human driver monitoring system is one of the most important systems for the safety in driving vehicles, and therefore driver assistance system has gained much attention during the last decade. This paper proposed an intelligent driver assistance system which monitors human driver's states from bio-signals such as ECG and Blood Pressure. The proposed system used mamdani fuzzy inference to evaluate the driver's mental strain and generated warning signals to the driver. The approach using bio-signals in driver assistance system is the main issue of the related systems and the preliminary results showed the possibility of further research topics in developing more intelligent embedded systems with bio-signal feedback.
