KASI (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute) is developing the near-infrared camera system named KASINICS (KASI Near-Infrared Camera System) which will be installed at the 60cm f/13.5 Ritchey-Chretien telescope of the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO). The camera system is optimized for JHKL bands and has a 6 arcmin FOV. The optical system consists of two spherical mirrors and a 8-position filter wheel. With the exception for the dewar window, all optical elements are cooled inside cryogenic dewar. Since the Offner system is adopted to prevent thermal noises from outside of the telescope primary mirror, the secondary mirror of the Offner system acts as a cold Lyot stop. The optical performance does not change by temperature variations because the Aluminum mirrors contract and expand homogeneously with its mount. We finished the design and fabrication of the optical parts and are now aligning the optical system. We plan to have a test observation on 2006 January.

MIRIS 우주관측카메라는 과학기술위성 3호의 주탑재체로서 $0.8{\sim}2.0{\mu}m$의 근적외선영역에서 우주배경복사와 우리은하 평면의 Pa-$\alpha$ survey 관측을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 임무를 수행하기 위해 MIRIS 우주관측카메라에는 MCT(HgCdTe) IR 검출기가 사용되고 6개의 필터를 장착할 수 있는 필터휠이 설계되었으며, 열잡음을 줄이고 원하는 SNR을 얻기 위해 모두 100K 이하로 냉각이 요구된다. 효과적인 냉각 및 저온유지를 위해서 외부의 열을 1차적으로 차단하는 Cryostat 외부용기와 100K 이하로 냉각되는 내부 Cold Box의 이중구조를 가지는 Dewar가 설계 되었다. 내부 Cold Box의 냉각은 소형 stirling cooler로 이루어지고 외부의 열 유입량이 Cooler의 냉각용량을 넘지 않도록 설계하였다. Cryostat 외부용기는 radiation cooling으로 냉각되어 200K 이하의 온도를 유지하며 내부 Cold Box로의 열유입을 최소화하기 위해 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 단열 지지대와 MLI(Multi Layer Insulation)가 사용된다. 또한 100K으로 냉각시 필터고정부와 Cold Box 구조에서 일어날 수 있는 구조적인 피로도를 줄이고 열변형에 의한 문제를 방지하기 위한 고려가 설계에 포함되었다. FM(Flight Model)은 고진공 환경의 우주공간에서 문제가 발생하지 않도록 설계되었다. 또한 EQM 진동시험결과를 토대로 발사환경에서 발생하는 강한 진동을 견딜 수 있도록 FEM(Finite Elements Method) 구조해석을 통하여 필터고정부에 flexible structure 설계와 완충제를 추가하고 필터휠 구동부와 harness 고정부 및 cooler 지지부를 비롯한 전체 구조물에서 충분히 진동을 극복할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

Stable water vapor isotopes have been utilized as a tracer for studying atmospheric global circulations, climate change and paleoclimate with ice cores. Recently, since laser spectroscopy has been available, water vapor isotopes can be measured more precisely and continuously. Studies of water vapor isotopes have been conducted over the world, but it is the early stage in south Korea. For vapor isotopes study, a cryogenic sampling device for water vapor isotopes has been developed. The cryogenic sampling device consists of the dewar bottle, filled with extremely low temperature material and impinger connected with a vacuum pump. Impinger stays put in the dewar bottle to change the water vapor which passes through the inside of impinger into the solid phase as ice. The fact that water vapor has not sampled completely leads to isotopic fractionation in the impinger. To minimize the isotopic fractionation during sampling water vapor, we have tested the method using a serial connection with two sets of impinger device in the laboratory. We trapped 98.02% of water vapor in the first trap and the isotopic difference of the trapped water vapor between two impinger were about 20‰ and 6‰ for hydrogen and oxygen, respectively. Considering the amount of water vapor trapped in each impinger, the isotopic differences for hydrogen and oxygen were 0.33‰ and 0.06‰, respectively, which is significantly smaller than the precision of isotopic measurements. This work can conclude that there is no significant fractionation during water vapor trapping.

We constructed a photoacoustic cell and dewar in order to investigate the phase transition of the solids. The solid-liquid phase transition of a wood's metal was measured by a temperature controlled photoacoustic apparatus. It showed a good agreement with the reported value of the melting point, 343 K. The phase transiton of the wood's metal has been determined to be the first order transition, existing a latent heat, which is typical in the solid-liquid transition. In addition, a supercooling effect was observed by monitoring the photoacoustic signal as the temperature of the sample was decreased. The experiments have demonstrated the photoacoustic detection is an appropriate method to determine the order of transition in solid samples.

The rate constants for the reaction of ${\alpha}$-naphthalene carbonyl chloride and ${\beta}$-naphthalene carbonyl chloride have been determined in methanol-acetonitrile and methanol-acetone. The rate constant of ${\alpha}$-naphtalene carbonyl chloride is higher than that of ${\beta}$-naphthalene carbonyl chloride. This behavior is consistent with Dewar's number, Nr and also Streitwieser's value ${\sigma}^+$. Since in the transition state carbonyl carbon is transformed to$sp^3$, no peri-hydrogen effect was observed.

An introduction to the first CCD camera system in Bohyunsan Optica1 Astronomy Observatory(CCD#l) is presented. The CCD camera adopts modular dewar design of IfA(Institute for Astronomy at Hawaii University) and SDSU(San Diego State University) general purpose CCD controller. The user interface is based on IfA design of easy-to-use QUI program running on the NeXT workstation. The characteristics of the CCD#l including Gain, Charge Transfer Efficiency, rms Read-Out Noise, Linearity and Dynamic range is tested and discussed. The CCD#l shows 6.4 electrons RON and gain of 3.49 electrons per ADU, and the optimization resulted in about 27 seconds readout time guaranteeing charge transfer efficiency of 0.99999 for both direction. Linearity test shows that non-linear coefficient is $6{\times}10^{-7}$ in the range of 0 to 30,000 ADU.

With the increasing availability of mammalian genome sequences it became possible to use large scale phylogenetic analysis in order to locate potentially functional regions. In this paper we describe a new probabilistic method for the characterization of phylogenetic conservation in mammalian DNA sequences. We have used this method for the analysis of Hox gene clusters, based on the alignment of 6 species, and we constructed a map of for indicating short and long conserved fragments and their positions with respect to the known locations of Hox genes and other elements, sometimes showing surprising layouts.

Cryogenic technology is one of the key technologies for fusion reactor equipped with superconducting coil for plasma confinement. The KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research)Project is in progress since 1996. Major parameters of the KSTAR tokamak are : major radius 1.8m, minor radius 0.5m, toroidal field 3.5 Tesla and plasma current 2MA with a strongly shaped plasma cross-section and double -null diverter. Considering practical engineering constraints, the KSTAR device is designed for a pulse length of 300 sec in up-graded operation mode but in the initial configuration would provide a pulse length of 20 sec provided by the poloidal coil system in base-line operation mode. The cryogenic system is composed as follows : cold box, helium compressor system, distribution box, helium gas buffer tank, helium gas purifying system, gas recovery system, liquid helium storage dewar, current lead box, current bus line and liquid nitrogen storage tank.

Large-area high-temperature superconducting (HTS) films, filter design and damage-free processing technique have been developed to fabricate low insertion loss and sharp skirt filters. Further, long life cryocooler, low temperature low noise amplifier (LNA) and cryocable have been developed to assemble HTS filter subsystem for IS-95 and IMT-2000 mobile telecommunication. The surface resistance of the films was about 0.2 milli-ohm at 70 K, 12 GHz. An 11-pole HTS filter for IS-95 telecommunication system and a 16-pole HTS filter for IMT-2000 telecommunication system were designed and fabricated using 60 {\times}$ 50 mm$^2$ and one half of 3-inch diameter YBCO films on a 0.5-mm-thick MgO substrate, respectively. We have assembled the filter and low temperature LNA in a dewar with the cryocooler. Ultra low-noise (noise figure: 0.5 dB at 70 K) and ultra sharp-skirt (40 dB/1.5 MHz) performance was presented by the IS-95 filter subsystem and the IMT-2000 filter subsystem, respectively.
