  • 본 논문에서는 맹자가 사단설(四端說)을 정당화하는 과정에서 사용하는 생물학적 유비 논증의 윤리학적 함의를 분석한다. 타고난 도덕 감정을 근거로 삼는 맹자의 자연주의 윤리학을 이해하기 위해서는 그가 제시하는 유비 논증에 대한 분석이 요구된다. 왜냐하면 맹자는 자신의 윤리적 관점을 정당화할 때에 귀납이나 연역보다 비유를 자주 사용하기 때문이다. 맹자는 사단설을 주장할 때 타고난 도덕 감정의 비유적 예시로서 신체, 씨앗, 싹 등을 제시하는 생물학적 유비 논증을 사용한다. 맹자는 동물이 신체를 타고나고 식물이 씨앗으로부터 발아하여 성장하는 것과 유사하게, 인간이 사단이라는 도덕적 경향성을 타고난다고 주장한다. 맹자는 생물학적 유비논증을 통해 도덕성의 선천적 지평, 도덕적 욕구, 마음과 몸의 유기적 통합(심신일원론), 도덕적 본성의 배양 가능성 등을 주장하면서 자연주의 윤리학을 지지한다.

  • The dairy industry, as part of the broader agricultural sector, is classified as a basic industry to the Korea economy. Basic industries provide income to a region by producing an output, purchasing production inputs, services and labor. An integrated, multidisciplinary approach for the next generation of dairy products with added health benefits represent the direct economic contribution. The commercialization of "nutritional" functional foods can only be successful if the consumer is confident in the scientific validity of the claims. Modern biotechnologies such as genomics, genetic expression and biomarkers of health performance suggested to whole dairy products, such as fluid milk, butter, cheese, ice cream and frozen dessert products (German, 1999). The following definition makes the point that dairy products can provide a nutritional value beyond the basic nutritional requirements: 1) The dairy industry has the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of its customers and/or to reduce their risk of disease through dairy products with added activities. 2) Functional dairy products are those that can be demonstrated to benefit target functions in the body in a way that improves the state of health and /or reduces the risk of disease. They are food products that are consumed as part of a normal diet rather than pills or supplements. 3) Dairy products based on functionality will need to link the scientific basis of such functionality to the communication of its benefit to the general public. 4) Both the efficacy and the safety of the food components with health benefits will require evidence based on the measurement of scientific biomarkers relevant to their biological responses and health end points. 5) Sound evidence from human studies based on intermediate health end points using accepted biomarkers will provide the basis for promotional messages divided into two categories-enhanced function and reduced risk of disease. 6) Success in solving key scientific and technological challenges will only be achieved by interdisciplinary research programs to exploit the scientific concepts in functional dairy science.

  • When NaOCl was generated and put into sea-water cooling machine in order to overcome the biological hindrances against sea-water cooling machine, it was converted into metallic ion, particularly Ca and Mg, as a hydrate in sea-water and is to stick to electrolyte as a side reaction. This phenomena make the distance between the electrolytes narrow to decrease the flow rate, which induces the local vortex flow which erodes the pole plate. Moreover, this increases the resistance of the electrolyte as well as voltage to decrease the electrolytic efficiency, which has curtailed a chlorine yield and caused a pole plate cut. We are able to overcome these problems by chemical cleaning and intend to extend the life-time of electrolyte and to increase output of the sea-water electrolysis facilities by studying optimal policy regarding chemical cleaning of electrolytic cell. Cleaning time of electrolytic facilities is determined when both increase in electrolytic efficiency and decrease in pole-plate voltage are 10%. At this time as operating current of electrolytic facilities is high, operating time is diminished. Whereas, parameter of end point determination according to cleaning is Mg ionic concentration in solution. When we use Cleaner as a 7wt% HCl, cleaning time is about 80min proper. We are able to maintain pole plate performance by protecting against pole plate cut by means of electrolytic by-product, improve operating rate of facilities, and cut down on maintenance expenditure after acidic cleaning.

  • The automated ECG diagnostic systems that are odd in hospitals have low performance of P-wave detection when faced with some diseases such as conduction block. So, the purpose of this study was the improvement of detection performance in conduction block which is low in P-wave detection. The first procedure was removal of baseline drift by subtracting the median filtered signal of 0.4 second length from the original signal. Then the algorithm detected R peak and T end point and cancelled the QRS-T complex to get'p prototypes'. Next step was magnification of P prototypes with dispersion and detection of'p candidates'in the magnified signal, and then extraction of contextual information concerned with P-waves. For the last procedure, the CIR was applied to P candidates to confirm P-waves. The rule base consisted of three rules that discriminate and confirm P-waves. This algorithm was evaluated using 500 patient's raw data P-wave detection perFormance was in- creased 6.8% compared with the QRS-T complex cancellation method without application of the rule base.

  • 당뇨병 환자의 혈당치 측정을 위하여 폴리우레탄으로 만들어진 진단막을 제조하였다. 혈액 속의 글루코우즈의 농도를 변화시켜가며 폴리우레탄 진단막을 가지고 680 nm에서의 최종흡광도를 측정하였다. 시간에 따른 흡광도 변화량(K/S)의 최종 결과치가 글루코우즈의 농도가 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였다. 헤마토크릿이 글루코우즈의 농도 측정에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 낮은 헤마토크릿에서는 글루코우즈의 농도와 K/S와의 기울기 값(Dose-Response Slope : DRS)이 플라즈마와 비교해 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 높은 헤마토크릿(40% 이상)에서는 상당히 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

  • 당뇨병 환자의 혈당치 측정을 위하여 메톡시에톡시기와 트라이플루오르에톡시기가 함께 치환된 포스파젠 고분자를 기초로 한 새로운 형태의 진단막을 제조하였다. 플라즈마와 혈액속의 글루코우즈의 농도를 변화시켜가며 활성화 된 폴리포스파젠 진단막을 가지고 680 nm에서의 최종흡광도를 측정하였다. 시간에 따른 흡광도 변화량(K/S)의 최종 결과치가 글루코우즈의 농도가 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였다. 친수성기와 소수성기의 치환율이 글루코우즈의 농도 측정에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 친수성기의 치환율이 증가함에 따라 글루코우즈의 농도와 K/S와의 기울기 값(Dose-Response Slope : DRS)이 점차 증가하였다. 그러나 친수성기의 치환율이 30% 이상일 경우에는 DRS가 급격히 증가하여 정확한 글루코우즈의 농도 측정이 어려웠다.

  • The representative beat with high SNR could be obtained by the signal averaging, correct and fast detection of significant points and waveform boundary could be obtained by adoption of search interval. All experimental results of waveform boundary were compared with CSE database which had the 5 referees results and 11 ECG measurement programs. All results were within tolerance made by referees, especially the end point of T wave were more close to the referee's results than other 11 measurement programs. The diagnosis parameters that might be used in the Minnsota code criteria were extracted from the representative beat. The diagnostic classification were fulfilled using Minnsota code criteria. Through the comparison on the diagnosis results from designed automated ECG analyzer(YECGA) and the results ECG analyzer manufactured by Fukuda denshi(FCG-2201) in Japan, reliance of the performance on designed system(YECGA) could be validated.

  • Background : Dopamine receptors have been regarded as a strong candidate involved in etiology of schizophrenia and a target for various antipsychotic drugs. The purpose of our study was to investigate whether dopamine $D_1$ receptor(DRD1) gene polymorphisms would predict the treatment response to antipsychotics in schizophrenia. Method : One hundred thirty-four schizophrenic patients, who met DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia were entered into a 48 -week study. The psychopathology of the patients was assessed at baseline, 12th, 24th 48th weeks of treatment by PANSS. Responders were defined by a 20% of the reduction in total PANSS score at end point. The genomic DNA fragment corresponding to nucleotides of dopamine $D_1$ receptor gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Result: Neither allelic frequencies nor genotypes for dopamine $D_1$ receptor differed significantly between responders and non-responders. Also, there was no difference of changes of PANSS scores among three genotype groups of the dopamine $D_1$ receptor. Conclusion : Allelic variation in the dopamine $D_1$ gene is not associated with individual differences in antipsychotic response.

  • In this paper we have provided an extensive survey of the databases and other resources related to the current research in bioinformatics and the issues that confront the database researcher in helping the biologists. Initially we give an overview of the concepts and principles that are fundamental in understanding the basis of the data that has been captured in these databases. We briefly trace the evolution of biological advances and point out the importance of capturing data about genes, the fundamental building blocks that encode the characteristics of life and proteins that are the essential ingredients for sustaining life. The study of genes and proteins is becoming extremely important and is being known as genomics and proteomics, respectively. Whereas there are numerous databases related to various subfields of biology, we have maintained a focus on genomic and proteomic databases which are the crucial stepping stones for other fields and are expected to play an important role in the future applications of biology and medicine. A detailed listing of these databases with information about their sizes, formats and current status is presented. Related databases like molecular pathways and interconnection network databases are mentioned, but their full coverage would be beyond the scope of a single paper. We comment on the peculiar nature of the data in biology that presents special problems in organizing and accessing these databases. We also discuss the capabilities needed for database development and information management in the bioinformatics arena with particular attention to ontology development. Two research case studies based on our own research are summarized dealing with the development of a new genome database called Mitomap and the creation of a framework for discovery of relationships among genes from the biomedical literature. The paper concludes with an overview of the applications that will be driven from these databases in medicine and healthcare. A glossary of important terms is provided at the end of the paper.
