  • 본 연구에서는 일상생활에서 사용하는 휴대폰에서 방출되는 전자파가 인체의 시각 자극 반응에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 기존의 국외연구에서는 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있지 않는 아날로그 방식 또는 GSM 방식의 휴대폰을 사용한 연구였으나 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 CDMA 방식의 휴대폰을 사용하여 시각 자극 반응에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험은 청소년 집단(10명, 연령:14.3$\pm$1.1세)과 성인 집단(10명, 연령:24.5$\pm$3.4세)으로 구성된 20명의 지원자를 대상으로 실시하였다. 전자파 노출은 실제 휴대폰을 사용하여 이루어졌고, 실제 노출과 허위 노출의 순서에 따른 영향을 없애기 위해 blind test로 노출 순서를 교번시켜서 대등하게 하였다. 실험 결과 CDMA휴대폰에서 방출되는 전자파에 노출되었을 경우 기존의 연구(아날로그 및 GSM방식)에서 제시하는 바와 같이 청소년의 경우에는 자극 반응 속도가 노출군에서 유의하게 빨라짐을 관찰하였다.

  • The camera cellular phone has a large portion of cellular phone market in recent year. The variety of a customer demand makes a fast model change and the spatial resolution is changed from VGA to multi-mega pixel. The 1.3 mega pixel (MP) camera cellular phone was first released into the Korean market in October 2003. The major cellular phone companies released a 2MP camera cellular phone that supports zoom function and a 2MP camera cellular phone is settled down with the Korea cellular phone market. It makes a keen competition in price and demands automation for phone camera module. There is an increasing requirement for the automatic assembly to correspond to a fast model change. The hard automation techniques that rely on dedicated manufacturing system are too inflexible to meet this requirement. Therefore in this study, this system is designed with the flexibility concept in order to cope with phone camera module change. The system has a same platform that has X-Y-Z motion or X-Z motion with ${\mu}m$order accuracy. It has a special gripper according to the type of a component to be put together. If the camera model changes, the gripper may be updated to fit for the camera module. The controller of this system acquires the data sets that have the information about the assembly part by the tray. This information is obtained ahead of an inspection step. The controller excludes an inferior part to be assembled by using this information to diminish the inferior goods. The assembly jig used in this system has a function of self adjustment that reduces the tact time and also diminish the inferior goods. Finally, the intelligent assembly system for phone camera module will be designed to get a flexibility to meet model change and a high productivity with a high reliability.

  • 본 논문에서는 IBCA(Intermediate Boundary Cellular Automata)에 기반을 둔 여원 MLCA(Maximum Length Cellular Automata)와 2D CAT(Cellular Automata Transform)를 단계적으로 이용하여 영상을 암호화하는 방법을 제안한다. 암호화 방법은 먼저, 여원 MLCA를 이용하여 원 영상의 크기만큼 PN(pseudo noise) 수열을 생성한다. 그리고, 원 영상과 생성된 수열을 XOR 연산하여 여원 MLCA 영상으로 변환한다. 그 후, 게이트웨이 값을 설정하여 2D CAT 기저함수를 생성한다. 생성된 기저 함수를 변환된 여원 MLCA 영상에 곱하여 암호화를 한다. 마지막으로 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) 및 안정성 분석을 통하여 제안한 방법이 높은 암호화 수준의 성질을 가졌음을 검증한다.

  • Proline plays a multifaceted role in protein synthesis, redox balance, cell fate regulation, brain development, and other cellular and physiological processes. Here, we focus our review on proline metabolism in neurons, highlighting the role of dysregulated proline metabolism in neuronal dysfunction and consequently neurological and psychiatric disorders. We will discuss the association between genetic and protein function of enzymes in the proline pathway and the development of neurological and psychiatric disorders. We will conclude with a potential mechanism of proline metabolism in neuronal function and mental health.

  • In this paper, the affecting factors of the access demand for the cellular service are derived, and the access demand function of the cellular service is estimated. The results obtained in this study are as follows: First, the price (access charge) and the income elasticities of cellular services there exists a network externality in cellular communication services. Third, the technological capability of the service provider has played an essential role in expanding the size of subscribers. Fourth, the access demand of cellular communication service is not sensitive to the usage charge. According to the above results, it can be inferred that if the access charge is lowered, the number if subscribers will increase to the critical mass, and then the cellular communication market will grow up to a saturation point naturally.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the degrees of cellular phone usage among middle school students and to identify discriminating factors of addictive use of cellular phones among socio-demographic and psychological variables. Methods: From 123 middle schools in Busan, potential participants were identified through stratified random sampling and 747 middle school students participated in the study. The data was collected from December 1, 2004 to December 30, 2004. Descriptive and discriminant analyses were used. Results: Fifty seven percent of the participants were male and 89.7% used cellular phones at school. The participants were grouped into three groups depending on the levels of the cellular phone usage: addicted (n=117), dependent (n=418), non-addicted (n=212). Within the three groups, two functions were produced and only one function was significant, discriminating the addiction group from non-addiction group. Additional discriminant analysis with only two groups produced one function that classified 81.2% of the participants correctly into the two groups. Impulsiveness, anxiety, and stress were significant discriminating factors. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, developing intervention programs focusing on impulsiveness, anxiety and stress to reduce the possible addictive use of cellular phones is suggested.

  • The NFAT family of transcription factors plays pivotal roles in the development and function of the immune system. Their activation process is tightly regulated by calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin and has been a target of the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A and FK-506. Although the clinical use of these drugs has dramatically increased the success of organ transplantation, their therapeutic use is limited by severe side effects. Recent studies for the calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway have identified a number of cellular proteins that inhibit calcineurin function. Specific peptide sequences that interfere with the interaction between calcineurin and NFAT have also been characterized. Moreover, diverse approaches to identify small organic molecules that modulate NFAT function have been performed. This review focuses on the recent advances in our understanding of the inhibitory modulation of NFAT function, which may open up the additional avenues for immunosuppressive therapy.

  • MicroRNAs control gene expression by inhibiting translation or promoting degradation of their target mRNAs. Since the discovery of the first microRNAs, lin-4 and let-7, in C. elegans, hundreds of microRNAs have been identified as key regulators of cell fate determination, lifespan, and cancer in species ranging from plants to humans. However, while microRNAs have been shown to be particularly abundant in the brain, their role in the development and activity of the nervous system is still largely unknown. In this review, we describe recent advances in our understanding of microRNA function at synapses, the specialized structures required for communication between neurons and their targets. We also propose how these advances might inform the molecular model of memory.

  • In the course of screening for specific inhibitors against the mycelial form of Candida albicans from natural resources, we have isolated and identified A6792-1 from Streptomyces sp. A6792 by using several chromatographies. By spectral analyses, this compound was determined as 7-oxostaurosporine, having a structure of staurosporine aglycon noiety. 7-Oxostaurosporine exhibited a selective growth inhibitory activity against the mycelial form of Candida spp. up to $100\mu\textrm{g}/disc$ in bioassay. It also exhibited a specific antifungal activity against the mycelial form of Candida spp. including C. krusei, C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. lusitaniae with MICs ranging from 3.1 to $25\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ 7-Oxostaurosporine demonstrated no in vivo toxicity in SPF ICR mice. Therefore, this compound may have a considerable potential as an antifungal agent based on the preferential inhibition against growth of the mycelial form of Candida spp., dimorphic fungi.
