A new trend that emerges at the turn of the century is the physical approach to biological phenomena. It is expected that biology provides novel materials for condensed matter physics and, most importantly, a revolutionary paradigm for physics at large. On the other hand, physics, if properly extended, is expected to provide systematic and quantitative understanding of biological phenomena, and multitude of biotechnological applications. (omitted)

Many researchers had considered biological systems as linear systems. In many cases of biological systems, the phenomena that show the regular and periodic dynamics are considered the normal state. However, some clinical experiments reported, in some cases, the periodic signals represented the abnormal state. We assume that signals from human body system are generated from deterministic, intrinsic mechanisms and can be represented a simple equation that show nonlinear dynamics dependent on control parameters. The objective of our study is to model a nonlinear dynamics correctly from the nonlinear time series using the genetic programming method; to find a simple equation of nonlinear dynamics using collected time series and its nonlinear characteristics. We applied genetic programming to model RR interval of ECG that shows chaotic phenomena. We used 4 statistic measures and 2 fractal measures to estimate fitness of each chromosome, and could obtain good solutions of which chaotic features are similar.

Even one embryonic myocardial cell exhibits a spontaneous, periodic beating phenomena. When these cells come in contact with each other, they beat synchronously with a certain period. In this paper, the mechanism of this phenomena is investigated, and the synchronization model is presented. The physiological experimental results are compared with the simulated results of the model.

For mechanical drive steam turbines, the investigation results of corrosion fatigue phenomena in the transient zone are introduced, including basic phenomena on expansion line and actual design and damage experience. These results were analyzed from the standpoint of stress intensity during the start of cracking. In order to resolve such problems, preventive coating and blade design methods against fouling and corrosive environments are developed. Detailed evaluation test results are given for coating performance using a unique test procedure simulating fouling phenomena and washing conditions. Finally, the results of the successful modification of internals and on-line washing results on site are introduced.

Autophagy, which is a process of self eating, has gained interest in the past decade due to its both beneficial and controversial roles in various biological phenomena. The discovery of autophagy genes (ATG) in yeast has led to focused research designed to elucidate the mechanism and regulation of this process. The role of autophagy in a variety of biological phenomena, including human disease, is still the subject of debate. However, recent findings suggest that autophagy is a highly regulated process with both beneficial and negative effects. Indeed, studies conducted using various model organisms have demonstrated that increased autophagy leads to an extended lifespan. Despite these findings, it is still unknown if all pathways leading to extended lifespan converge at the process of autophagy or not. Here, an overview of modern developments related to the process of autophagy, its regulation and the molecular machinery involved is presented. In addition, this review focuses on one of the beneficial aspects of autophagy, its role in lifespan regulation.

이 연구는 생물학자들이 생물학 현상에서 과학적 의문을 생성할 때 나타나는 두뇌의 활성을 분석하고자했다. 이를 위해서 10개의 의문 생성 과제를 개발하여 8명의 생물학자들에 투입하였고, 의문 생성 과정에서 fMRl를 통해 생물학자들의 두뇌 활성을 측정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 방추이랑, 전안구운동 영역, 소뇌, 좌측 전두엽, 좌우측 해마와 대상이랑, 복외측전 두피질부 등이 특징적으로 활성화되었다. 이것은 과학적 의문을 생성하는 과정에서 생물학자들의 뇌는 주어진 생물학 현상을 상세히 분석하였고, 언어적 전략을 사용하였으며, 현재의 현상과 비교하기 위해서 과거의 경험상황과 선지식 등의 장기기억을 인출하고 표상했다고 할 수 있다. 특히 복외측전 두피질부의 활성은 의문 생성 과정에서 뇌가 인지적 갈등 및 부조화 단계를 거쳤음을 보여주었다고 할 수 있다.

Biological rhythms are very important phenomena to generate, grow a living thing. However, the origin of rhythms are not disclosed completely until now. Eack myocardial cell has a natural rhythm of itself, and synchronization is happened when two cells are come in contact with each other. In this research, a simple synchronization model has been proposed and studied, refering to the physiological model. The changes of the synchronization rhythms in experimental results are compared with that of the model.

In crustacea the molting cycle is the most important physiological process affecting growth, behaviour, reproduction and population dynamics through their life span. Particularly molt cycle is closely related to reproductive cycle, and it is important to determine the successive stages of molt cycle to understand reproductive phenomena including ovarian cycle and the development of the embryos in the marsupium.

Simulations of solutions of flexible polymer molecules during flow in simple or complex confined geometries are performed. Concentrations from ultradilute up to near the overlap concentration are considered. As concentration increases, the hydrodynamic migration effects observed in dilute solution unidirectional flows (Couette flow, Poiseuille flow) become less prominent, virtually vanishing as the overlap concentration is approached. In a grooved channel geometry, the groove is almost completely depleted of polymer chains at high Weissenberg number in the dilute limit, but at finite concentration this depletion effect is dramatically reduced. Only upon inclusion of hydrodynamic interactions can these phenomena be properly captured.
