Nanocrystallne WO₃ and MoO₃ with several different sizes and crystal structures were prepared by simple acid precipitation and subsequent heat treatment. The photochromic (PC) properties of these samples were comparatively investigated in powder state by monitoring diffuse reflectance spectral changes after bandgap irradiation. The PC effect of hexagonal WO₃ and monoclinic WO₃ strongly depended upon crystallite size rather than crystal structure. The smaller the crystallite size, the better the PC effect. However, orthorhombic WO·H₂O and MoO₃ having hexagonal and orthorhombic structures did not follow this trend. One consistent result for all WO₃ and MoO₃ samples is that the heat treatment in air, which changes crystallinity, whether it changes the crystal structure or only the crystallite size, reduces the PC effect. Since the thermal treatment reduces the surface oxygen defect sites, we believe that the PC effect of WO₃ and MoO₃ depends critically on the surface oxygen defect sites that serve as deep trap sites for photogenerated electrons and oxygen radical holes. We also found that the proton insertion claimed by double charge injection model is not critical for the PC effect.

Tn this paper, We propose a user friendly object-based multimedia retrieval system using the HCNN(HippoCampus Neural Network. Most existing approaches to content-based retrieval rely on query by example or user based low-level features such as color, shape, texture. In this paper we perform a scene change detection and key frame extraction for the compressed video stream that is video compression standard such as MPEG. We propose a method for automatic color object extraction and ACE(Adaptive Circular filter and Edge) of content-based multimedia retrieval system. And we compose multimedia retrieval system after learned by the HCNN such extracted features. Proposed HCNN makes an adaptive real-time content-based multimedia retrieval system using excitatory teaming method that forwards important features to long-term memories and inhibitory learning method that forwards unimportant features to short-term memories controlled by impression.

For easy and rapid screening of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) without any laboratory equipment, dot blot enzyme immunoassay was developed and tried to detect anti-hantavirus antibodies. The nucleocapsid protein of Hantaan virus was isolated by affinity chromatography and used for making the dot strip. 28 of 29 Hantaan virus infected sera showed positive signals and 21 of 22 HFRS negative sera showed no positive signals. Anti-Seoul virus monoclonal antibody also exibited positive signal but the intensity of colorization was approximately 5 fold less than that of anti-Hantaan monoclonal antibody. The sensitivity of dot blot assay was equal or superior to indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) or ELISA test. Overall, the screening results with dot blot assay showed 92.2 % of concordance with IFA or ELISA test. This results suggests that dot blot assay could be applied a tool for easy and rapid screening of HFRS.

With the recent increase of sensitivity to decors, there has been an ever-increasing significance of exhibiting the beauty of the outer looks of an article. This trend has necessarily led to the diversification and also specialization of the color scheme activities. And so, it is inevitable that we should form the substantial ideas of the color scheme and further on, enhance the efficacy of its orientation under the prevailing circumstances. Now, we come to a realization that we must first take a glance at the whole picture of the arrays of color embedded in a variety of articles in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, a bold introduction of color designs, thereby tracing the birth of color designs and finding a meaning in its mechanism. This study begins with the obtaining of a large collection of articles in those days, along with the literature on the commercial effects color suggest, and looking into the background of their trend and finding a meaning that underlies what these colors suggest. The general idea of those color designs exemplifies that the color selection was none other than the simplicity and convenience in the making of things in doser relation to the easy selling. With the advance of material quality and enhancement of the industrial idealism, it has been proved that color plays an important role in depicting the image of quality and tastes of class. In that role color has been given the indicator of visual delights and differentials in quality articles. All this has been reflected in a diversity of articles: for instance, white for household appliances, prime color for living necessaries and natural color for the decore like furniture. Formerly, after all, people used to have little regard for color. What is color for, it was thought, in relation to the selling image of articles? That is wily our preceding generation pays attention only to the first-hand looks of articles, neglecting the intensive study on color. We are beginning to understand what image a certain color scheme evokes in our feeling.

In order to develop color of potato chip made from Superior variety and Irish Cobbler variety, various conditions on NaCl and $CaCl_2$ contents, heat treatment and soaking time were applied. The content of reducing sugar decreased by $30{\sim}40%$ in blanching without NaCl and $CaCl_2$. In NaCl soaking case, reducing sugar content decreased by $15{\sim}30%$, however, partial colorization was appeared that the sample turned to brown. In the sample that were soaking in NaCl solution and heat treated, reduction of reducing sugar was 40% and desirable time for heat treatment was 5 min and 7 min. In the sample treated $CaCl_2$ solution, reduction of reducing sugar was $25{\sim}30%$ and then color was not acceptable. In the sample soaking $CaCl_2$ solution and heat treated, reducing sugar content rapidly by 50% and the color development was the most ideal.

To characterize the colorization patterns of bovine hairs, the melanin contents were quantitatively assayed and compared among cattle breeds. The total melanin levels measured by spectrophotometric assay (A500) from Jeju Black cattle were significantly lower than those from Holstein or Angus with black coat color but significantly higher than those from Hanwoo with yellow coat color or Angus and Holstein with red coat color (P<0.001). The total melanin levels from Hanwoo were significantly lower than those from Red Angus and Red Holstein but significantly higher than those from Hanwoo×Charolais crossbred (P<0.001). The relative ratios of eumelanin to pheomelanin (A650/A500) were 0.382, 0.359, 0.112 and 0.124 in Angus, Jeju Balck cattle, Red Holstein and Hanwoo, respectively. These results show that the spectrophotometric method provides a convenient way to qualitatively characterize hair melanin and may be useful for studying expression of major coat color genes in Hanwoo and Jeju Black cattle.

This study was conducted to establish an efficient screening method of membrane-disrupting herbicides, based on the result that membrane leakage leading to evolution of carbonyl compounds and aldehydes could be colorimetrically assessed by formation of stable chromophores with MBTH and ferric chloride. Assay conditions including plant material, light intensity, irradiation time, concentrations of reagents for colorization, and reaction time were optimized, and activities of different types of known herbicides were investigated with cucumber cotyledon discs. That result indicated that this assay was sensitive to membrane-disrupting herbicides, such as protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors (acifluorfen, oxyfluorfen, oxadiazon) and an electron interceptor from photosystem I(paraquat). With seven compounds newly synthesized, highly positive correlation was observed between herbicidal activities measured by greenhouse bioassay and MBTH method. Because only a single disc(4 mm diameter) from cucumber cotyledon in 60 ${\mu}L$ of incubation solution was required to assay, a large number of herbicides could be tested simultaneously using 96-well microtitre plates. But the assay efficiency is not likely to significantly increase because of the boiling step during the reaction.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the harmony of contrast coloration of the traditional Korean dress as the subject of the study for women's college students in Korea and America. The sense of harmonious coloration for 64 colorations was evaluated based on a yellow and a green Korean jackets, to be contrast colorization, by combining four different tones, vivid, light, dull, and dark tones in a purple and a blue skirt with a yellow jacket, a red and a purple skirt with a green jacket. We tried to make sure of the cultural difference by the distinction in the perception of women's college students. in Korea and America. The result of the study is as follows. In the contrast coloration of a yellow jacket with a purple and a blue skirt, Korean women students, generally, perceived that the coloration that skirt is more dark than jacket, dull and dark tone is harmonious. On the other hand, American women students perceived harmonious skirt tone is various depending on the jacket tones. In the coloration of a green jacket and a red skirt, the women students of two countries are in common that the coloration of a vivid skirt with a vivid, a dull, and a dark jacket are harmonious. However, Korean women students indicated that a light jacket with a dark tone skirt as a harmonious coloration. American women students evaluated that various tones of coloration as a harmonious coloration. In the coloration of a green jacket and a purple skirt, Korean women students perceived that the coloration is incompatible coloration. American women students perceived the coloration is congruous in the coloration of a dull and a dark tone jacket and skirt. In the response of the perception for 64 contrast coloration, Korean students evaluated 14 sets and American students judged 28 sets as harmonized colors. Therefore, it drew the conclusion that Korean students had the sense of harmonious coloration of more narrow range than American students. There was a difference between two cultures in the standard far contrast coloration.

Cell volume and DNA contents of the fusants were similar to those of parents. Genetic stability of the fusants was increased when they were cultured on minimal medium (MM) rather than on complete medium (CM), and the fusants were stabilized by subculturing 7 generations each 7 day on MM agar. The finally selected fusants after being cultured for 6 months on CM were stable without segregation. The fusants could also form nuclein and ascospores, and show red and pink colors by the test of TTC colorization. Assimilability and fermentability of carbon sources of the fusants were similarto those of parents. The tolerance of KCl, NaCl, sodium propionate and cycloheximide showed the traits of one strain of parents. When the fusants were cultured for 72 hr and 60 hr in the medium containing 20% glucose and sucrose, respectively, the yield of ethanol for FWKS 260 was reached to 9.6 v/v% and 9.8v/v%, respectively. The sensitive strain Kyokai 7 was found to be killed entirely after cultivation of 48 hr by the killer toxin from the fusants. The recipient S 29 and Kyokai 7 were found to have neither L nor M dsRNA plasmid. However, K 52 and fusants had both L and M dsRNA plasmid of 4.7 kb and 2.5 kb, respectively. The curants treated by heat and cycloheximide did not contain M dsRNA plasmid, but had large amounts of L dsRNA plasmid of those of killer yeasts.

This study was experimentally undertaken to evaluate the effect of the coronary vasodilator-mixed cardioplegic solution on myocardial protection during prolonged aortic cross-clamping. The dogs were divided into two groups: control group A[received hypothermic cardioplegic solution without any additive coronary vasodilator], and comparing group 8[received hypothermic cardioplegic solution, mixed with various coronary vasodilators and Inderal]. Group A further was divided into two subgroups: subgroup A-1[ischemic time, 90 minutes], and subgroup A-2 [ischemic time, 240 minutes]. Group B further was divided into five subgroups: subgroup B-1 [received papaverine mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solution], subgroup B-2[received nitroglycerin mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solution], subgroup B-3 [received nitroprusside mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solution, subgroup B-4[received hydralazine mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solution], and subgroup B-5 [received inderal mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solution]. The specimens from all of the subgroups were studied by electron microscopic examination. The specimens of subgroups [B-l, B-2 8-3, and B-4], received coronary vasodilators mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solutions, were also compared by methylene blue induced staining of the myocardium and coronary vessels. The results obtained were as followings: l. On electron microscopic examination, all of the specimens, including subgroup A-2, showed no irreversible change of the myocardium. But the best result was obtained from the subgroup B-l, treated by papaverine mixed hypothermic cardioplegic solution. The subgroup B-2, treated by nitroglycerin, was next. And the subgroup B-5, treated by Inderal, was agreeable, comparing the electron microscopic finding with control group in the effect of myocardial protection. 2. The distribution in the myocardium of cardioplegic solution was demonstrated with the aid of methylene blue staining in the subgroups of B-l, B-2, B-3, and B-4, and they were the groups treated by papaverine, nitroglycerin, nitroprusside, and hydralazine in their grouping order. The best result was obtained from the subgroup B-1 [papaverine]. The subgroup B-2 [nitroglycerin] was next. The subgroup B-3 [nitroprusside] was moderate in finding of the colorization. The subgroup B-4 [hydralazine] was the poorest in the distribution of the cardioplegic solution in the myocardium. From these results, it appeared that myocardial protection during ischemic arrest for open heart surgery could be enhanced considerably when coronary dilatation was assured.
