Understanding the whole knowledge of ceramics is essential for a person in charge of conservation of ceramics since their methods of manufacturing or materialistic features have very close relationship with their damaging process. Also, various executions of repair and restoration dealing with any damage in use have to be looked into. The information attained through those studies finds damaging causes of ceramics, which becomes a critical element when choosing a proper conservation treatment method and utilizes as indispensable data for permanent preservation. As part of scrutinizing materials of repair and restoration, this study examines the purpose, date, and the constituents of the materials used in metal bound rims adhered to the brim of ceramics. Among the subjected ceramics, the metal bound rims possible to scientific analysis were gone through element analyses with Portable ${\bullet}\"{I}$-XRF Spectrometer and SEM-EDS while the ingredients of the ceramics difficult to analyze were inferred by eye inspection of exhibition catalogues. The results of this study confirm that metal bound rims consisted of diverse materials were adhered to the brim of ceramics.

Present weather plays an important role not only for atmospheric sciences but also for public welfare and road safety. While the widely used state-of-the-art visibility and present weather sensor yields present weather, a single type of measurement is far from perfect to replace long history of human-eye based observation. Truly automatic present weather observation enables us to increase spatial resolution by an order of magnitude with existing facilities in Korea. 8 years of human-eyed present weather records in 19 sites over Korea are compared with visibility sensors and auxiliary measurements, such as humidity of AWS. As clear condition agrees with high probability, next best categories follow fog, rain, snow, mist, haze and drizzle in comparison with human-eyed observation. Fog, mist and haze are often confused due to nature of machine sensing visibility. Such ambiguous weather conditions are improved with empirically induced criteria in combination with visibility and humidity. Differences between instrument manufacturers are also found indicating nonstandard present weather decision. Analysis shows manufacturer dependent present weather differences are induced by manufacturer's own algorithms, not by visibility measurement. Accuracies of present weather for haze, mist, and fog are all improved by 61.5%, 44.9%, and 26.9% respectively. The result shows that automatic present weather sensing is feasible for operational purpose with minimal human interactions if appropriate algorithm is applied. Further study is ongoing for impact of different sensing types between manufacturers for both visibility and present weather data.

In this study, to clarify the function of $PoPLC-{\beta}1$, in response to stress challenge, we examined the $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ expression pattern in response to external stress (pathogen-associated molecular pathogen challenge and environmental challenge including temperature and salinity). $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ expression analysis of tissue from olive flounder showed that the messenger RNA (mRNA) was predominantly expressed in the brain, heart, eye, liver, spleen, and stomach. We also tested the mRNA expression of the $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ in the spleen and kidney of olive flounder by RT-PCR and real-time PCR following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), concanavalin A (ConA), or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (PolyI:C) and compared with the inflammatory cytokines IL-1b and IL-6 in the stimulated flounder tissues. Each of the spleen and kidney and mRNA transcripts of $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ were increased 30- and 10-fold than normal tissue at 1-6 h post injection (HPI) with PolyI:C when the expression of $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ transcript was similar to LPS and ConA. We also tested the expression of $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ in response to temperature and salinity stress. The expression of $PoPLC-{\beta}1$ also was affected by temperature and salinity stress. Our results provide clear evidence that the olive flounder $PLC-{\beta}1$ signal pathways may play a critical role in immune function at the cellular level and in inflammation reactions. In addition, $PLC-{\beta}1$ appears to act as an oxidative-stress suppressor to prevent cell damage in fish.

Cellular Phone use while driving is one of the critical causes of traffic accident by falling the driver into the improper lookout and inattention situations by disturbing the driving behaviors and by increasing the driver's mental workloads. These days, therefore, governments in many countries are trying to Prohibit the cellular Phone use while driving by the law focused on the hand-held type of cellular phone. This Paper investigated the impacts on the hands-free cellular Phone use while driving to the drivers Performance among normal and two different level of secondary task driving conditions in the urban of Japan. As the results, quantitative differences of drivers eye movement, subjective mental workload, steering wheel angle entropy, and cognitive Performance of secondary tasks were compared between straight and curve (right turn) section for each driving condition.

As the integration of circuit components increases steadily, various EMS(Electromagnetic Susceptibility) problems have emerged from integrated circuits and electrical systems. The electromagnetic susceptibility of VCOs(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is especially critical in RF systems. Therefore, in this paper, through the phase noise theory that models electrical oscillators as linear time variant systems, the EMS characteristics of representative VCO -ring VCO and LC VCO- with 1.2 GHz of reference oscillating frequency are analyzed under the existence of the electromagnetic noise coupled in power supply. An simulation algorithm is developed to extract impulse response function based on the phase noise theory. When there is no supply noise, the magnitude of the jitter of two oscillators were similar to around 2.1 ps, but in presence of supply noise, the jitter was significantly lower in LC VCOs than ring VCOs.

Glaucoma is an eye disease which is caused by abnormal high lOP (Intra Ocular Pressure). High lOP is caused by the aqueous humor which is produced consistently but not drained due to malfunction of the trabecular system which has a role of draining the aqueous humor into the venous system. Currently, there are some methods to treat glaucoma, Among these, the use of implants is increasing in these days due to many problems In other methods. However, conventional implants are passive implants and have critical disadvantage. Therefore, it is needed to develop an active implant which is composed of a valve actuator, pressure sensor, controller, and power supply. In this paper, we make experiment with the fabricated valve actuator in In-vitro experiment, and estimate the in-vivo result using the experimental result and investigate the possibility of the fabricated valve.

Cystinosis, an autosomal recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease, results from impaired transport of the amino acid cystine out of cellular lysosomes. The consequent accumulation and crystallization of cystine destroys tissues, causing growth retardation, Fanconi syndrome, renal failure, eye problems, and endocrinopathies. The gene for cystinosis, CTNS, was mapped to chromosome 17p13. The diagnosis of cystinosis is made by measuring the leukocyte cystine content and the presence of typical corneal crystals on slit-lamp examination is also diagnostic. Since treatment with cysteamine has proved extremely effective, early diagnosis and treatment are critical aspects. We experienced a typical case of cystinosis in a 12-year-old boy with growth retardation.

Flicker is the 'variation in brightness or he perceived won stimulation by intermittent or temporally non uniform light'. This phenomenon is blown as the cause of eye strain and headaches. Many researchers are dedicated to reducing this phenomenon. The flicker phenomenon also exists in PDP as some other display types, and is a critical problem in 50 Hz PDP. However, it is difficult to define flicker by more than one subjective judgment. So, an objective measurement of flicker is necessary and convenient for research on displays. In this paper, a computational prediction model is proposed which is used to predict luminance flicker (not chromatic flicker) by giving a quantitative output that describes the probability of occurrence of flicker. Through this work, we expected to provide a practical tool for flicker-free design in PDP.

The aims of this study are to investigate how Kepler found a scientific problem for the retinal image theory and to investigate how the science high-school students respond when the same situation is applied to them. And their results was compared with general high-school students' results. Kepler found the scientific problem in the eye vision through the critical analysis of contemporary theories of vision, based on his relevant knowledge of optics. When we applied the same situation to the Korean science high school and general high-school students, only a few of science high-school students found the scientific problem as same as Kepler's finding. From the results, it is suggested that in development of creativity teaching material, the situations like Kepler's problem finding need to be included in the programs.
