  • The biotechnology is the study of biochemical and biological processes in living things. Since 1990's biotechnology has developed more repidly than all of the life technical industries, through the use of extremly sensitive analytical instruments, computers, and radioactive tracers. The biotechnician has been able to gain an understanding of the mechanisms and information on biotechnology, enables the biologist and biochemist to fine farther information about DNA techniques and human beings.

  • 생물측정학-멘델주의 논쟁은 다윈이 주장한 생물 진화의 연속성과 자연선택을 두고 1890년대 중반부터 약 10여년간 치열하게 진행되었던 논쟁이다. 본 연구에서는 생물학이 아니라 통계학에 중점을 두고 논쟁의 진행과정을 살펴보았다. 특히 수학자이던 피어슨이 생물학 자료에 대해 통계학을 연구하게된 배경, The Grammar of science에 나타나는 그의 과학철학과 논쟁에서 나타나는 피어슨의 입장, 그리고 그의 입장과 1830년대 이후 영국 통계학 전통 사이의 관계도 살펴보았다. 결과적으로 이 논쟁을 계기로 피어슨의 많은 통계학 연구가 나오게 되었고 처음으로 연구자들이 결집하게 되었으며 새로운 학술지 Biometrka가 창간되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 논쟁은 우생학과 더불어 수학적인 통계학이 대학에 자리잡는 촉매제로 작용하였다.

  • Magic technologies and smart biomarkers at the Omics Age! This slogan is not only for the pharmaceutical companies as the speedy and cost-reduced development of global drug, but for all of the toxicologists and biologist. Biomarker refers to a variety of physiologic, pathologic, or anatomic measurements that are thought to relate to some aspect of normal or pathological processes (Temple 1995; Lesko and Atkinson 2001).(omitted)

  • Ayurveda is the science of life. It guides about the protection of health of the healthy and alleviation of ailments of diseased person. In Ayurveda Upavasa (fasting) is one among all Daivavyapashraya (spiritual) therapies and one among ten Langhana (that which produces lightness of the body) therapies. It is also stated in Ayurveda that fasting increases digestive fire and causes digestion of Ama-dosha (metabolic toxins). On religious grounds, Upavasa is a way to get closer to the almighty. Scientists have found fasting activates autophagy. Yoshinori Ohsumi, a Japanese cell biologist won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016 for his research on how cell recycle and renew their content, a process called autophagy. Many published studies indicate positive effects of fasting on neuroprotection and longevity.

  • RNA pseudoknots are not only important structural elements for forming the tertiary structure, but also responsible for several functions of RNA molecules such as frameshifting, read-through, and the initiation of translation. There exists no automatic method for drawing RNA pseudoknot structures, and thus representing RNA pseudoknots currently relies on significant amount of manual work. In this talk, I will introduce the first algorithm for automatically generating a drawing of RNA pseudoknot structures. Two basic criteria were adopted when designing the algorithm: (1) Overlapping of structural elements should be minimized to increase the readability of the drawing, and (2) The whole RNA structure as well as the pseudoknots themselves should be recognized quickly and clearly. The algorithm has been implemented in a JAVA program, which can be executed on any computing systems. Experimental results show that this program generates a clear and compact drawing of RNA pseudoknots and allows a biologist to gain insights into RNA pseudoknot structures. The program can also be used as useful aids in designing biochemical experiments to elucidate more precise mechanism of RNA functions associated with pseudoknots.

  • The article makes a discussion to conceptualize a histo-genetic principle in the real historical view point. The classical histo-genetic principle appeared in 19th century was founded by the recapitulation law suggested by biologist Haeckel, but recently it was shown that the theory on it is no longer true. To establish the alternative rationale, several metaphoric characterizations from the history of mathematics are suggested: among them, problem solving, transition of conceptual knowledge to procedural knowledge, generalization, abstraction, circulation from phenomenon to substance, encapsulation to algebraic representation, change of epistemological view, formation of algorithm, conjecture-proof-refutation, swing between theory and application, and so on.

  • The Ministry of Environment of South Korea has launched its plan to establish the National Ecological Institute. An International Symposium and Workshop was held at Ewha Womans University in Seoul on Thursday, 30 September 2010, to strengthen international cooperation, networking and partnerships for the conservation of biodiversity. This symposium was attended by experts of many major institutions for biodiversity conservation from South Korea and overseas. At the symposium and workshop preceded by a keynote speech by the renowned primatologist and conservation biologist Jane Goodall the participants discussed a wide range of topics including "biodiversity conservation: in situ and ex situ approaches", "conservation of species diversity and ecosystem management", and "international cooperation for biodiversity conservation and research". As a basis for future discussions, this article summarizes how the National Ecological Institute might contribute most effectively to public life and environmental management in South Korea and worldwide. It addresses the following issues: governance and funding, synergies within Korea, participation in international networks, external advice, a broad view of ecological issues, research agenda, building on identity, public outreach, and training the next generation of scientists.

  • Magnetic nerve stimulation treatment is much backward real condition than other field. Specially, successful medical treatment introduction of magnetic field (MF) can was refered long ago in Avicenna's work, and is thought as age of medicine magnetology development recently. These development is achieved through biologist and biophysicist and clinician's joint effort, but, new mountings and relationship air tassel are developed steadily. Magnetic nerve stimulation treatment field designs treatment system by each function during long wave high-amplitude (traditional magneto therapy of greatly great that strong that) short time that CMF, VMF, PMF field etc. are representative but are HPMT technology in this research and manufacture and special quality did comparative analysis.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 파브르의 탐구 과정에서 나타난 메커니즘 추론을 분석하고, 분석 결과에 기반하여 메커니즘 추론 모델을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 Russ et al.(2008)의 분석틀을 수정 보완한 메커니즘 추론 분석틀로 "파브르 곤충기 1~10" 가운데 추론요소가 등장하는 30개의 챕터를 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 파브르의 탐구 과정에서 나타난 메커니즘 추론의 하위 과정 요소는 선지식확인, 대상속성확인, 시작조건확인, 활동확인 등의 과정이 반복적으로 일어났다. 뿐만 아니라 이 메커니즘 추론의 과정 요소들의 순서는 탐구 주제, 의문 유형, 선지식이나 주어진 상황 등에 따라 다르게 나타났으며, 비선형적이고 반복적인 형태로 나타났다. 둘째, 메커니즘 추론의 과정 요소가 나타난 순서에 기반하여 메커니즘 추론 모델을 개발하였다. 파브르의 탐구 과정 분석을 통해 제안되는 메커니즘 추론 모델은 실체확인형 메커니즘 추론 모델(MIE), 활동확인형 메커니즘 추론 모델(MIA), 실체 속성확인형 메커니즘 추론 모델(MIP) 3가지였다. 이러한 결과는 인과 메커니즘을 밝히고자 하는 탐구를 수행하는 학생들에게 교사가 Why 뿐만 아니라 How, If, What과 같은 다양한 발문을 통해 탐구를 진행하도록 유도할 수 있음을 시사해준다. 또한 교사는 자연 현상의 기저에 존재하는 여러 실체들을 인식하는 메커니즘적 이해가 요구되며 학생들에게 다양한 가설을 생성하도록 하는 기회를 제공해야함을 시사해 준다.

  • There is a great demand to manipulate biological cell autonomously since biologist should spend much time to obtain skillful manipulation techniques. For this purpose, we propose a cell chip to control, carry, fix and locate the cell. In this paper, we focus on the cell rotator to rotate individual biological cell based on a micro fluidics technology. The cell rotator consists of injection hole and rotation well to rotate a biological cell properly. Under the variation of flow rate in injection hole, the angular velocity of a biological cell is evaluated to find the feasibility of the proposed rotation method. As a practical experiment, Zebrafish egg is employed. Based on this research, we find the possibility of non-contact rotation way that can highly reduce the damage of the biological cell during manipulation. To realize an autonomous biological cell manipulation, a cell chip with manipulation well and micro channel in this research will be utilized effectively in near future.
