  • This paper describes the categorical effects of pitch accent contrasts in a mimicry task. It focuses, specifically, on examining how fundamental frequency (f0) variation reflects phonological contrasts from speakers of two distinct varieties of Korean (i.e., North Kyungsang and South Cholla). The results showed that, in a mimicry task using synthetic speech continua, there was a categorical effect in f0 peak timing for North Kyungsang speakers, but the timing of f0 peaks and valleys in the responses of South Cholla speakers was more variable, presenting a gradient or non-categorical effect. Evidence of categorical effects was represented as the shift of f0 peak times along an acoustic continuum for North Kyungsang speakers. The range for the shift of f0 valley times was much narrower, compared to that of f0 peak times. The degree of a shift near the middle of the continuum showed variability across individual mimicry responses. However, the categorical structure in mimicry responses regarding the clustering of f0 peak points was more significant for North Kyungsang speakers than for South Cholla speakers. Additionally, the finding of the current study implies that the location of f0 peak times depends on individuals' imitative (or cognitive) abilities.

  • 하귤(Citrus natsudaidai Hayata)의 과피를 cold-press하여 얻어진 정유성분을 column chromatography, HPLC 및 TLC로 분리 정제하여 각 분획에 대하여 EBV활성화에 대한 억제효과를 측정하였다. Column chromatography로 정유성분의 분리를 시도하여 7개 의 peak$(F-I{\sim}VII)$를 얻을 수 있었다. 이것들을 TLC로 분석한 결과, 각각 단일 반점만을 나타냈으며 $R_f$값은 0.31, 0.13, 0.13 0.78, 0.79, 0.69, 0.84이었다. 7개의 peak중에서 F-I, II 및 F-IV 등 3개의 peak에 대하여 HPLC분석을 한 결과 F-I 및 F-II는 단일 peak이며 retention time은 F-I이 3분, F-II는 2.5분이었다. 그러나 F-IV는 2개의 peak가 나타났으며 retention time은 각각 2분과 4.5분이었다. 4.5분에 나타난 peak는 극히 적은 면적으로 보아 극소량의 물질이어서 앞서의 TLC분석에서 나타나지 많았던 것으로 생각된다. $F-I{\sim}F-VII$에 대한 EBV활성화에 대한 억제효과 측정은 Raji cells을 이용하여 간접형광 항체법으로 실시했다. 억제율은 F-VI가 $82.3{\pm}1.3%$으로 가장 높았으며 다음이 F-I$(80.4{\pm}1.6%)$ > F-II$(77.2{\pm}0.9%)$ > F-III$(75.0{\pm}1.2%)$ > F-IV$(74.1{\pm}1.0.%)$ > F-V$(71.0{\pm}1.1%)$ > F-VII$(70.2{\pm}1.2%)$의 순으로 모두 70% 이상의 억제율을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과는 하귤과피에는 발암 promotion 억제활성성분이 존재한다는 것을 시사한 것이다.

  • This paper investigates phrase positional effects on the timing of F0 (pitch) peaks in Tokyo Japanese disyllabic words with varying accent type (HL or LH) and phrase position (final or non final). The F0 peak timing was normalized by the total word duration ('normalized H timing'). The normalized H timing was significantly affected by accent type and phrase position. The H timing was later in the LH accent type than in the HL accent type, and in non final positions than in final positions. In addition, to examine the validity of the quantitative results, different models of phrase position effects were compared by measuring H timing in two approaches: normalization versus relative distance measures. For the normalization measures, the H timing was measured as the time of the F0 peak divided by the total word duration or by the duration of the tone bearing syllable. For the relative distance measures, the H timing was measured as the distance in milliseconds from the end of the word or from the end of the associated syllable. The best model was the normalization by the total word duration, rather than by the duration of the tone bearing syllable. This means that phrase positional effects on the timing of F0 peaks in Japanese disyllabic words are best modeled in terms of proportion of the total word duration.

  • This study was conducted to derive an Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph for the accurate and reliable unitgraph which can be used to the estimation and control of flood for the development of agricultural water resources and rational design of hydraulic structures. Eight small watersheds were selected as studying basins from Han, Geum, Nakdong, Yeongsan and Inchon River systems which may be considered as a main river systems in Korea. The area of small watersheds are within the range of 85 to 470$\textrm{km}^2$. It is to derive an accurate Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph under the condition of having a short duration of heavy rain and uniform rainfall intensity with the basic and reliable data of rainfall records, pluviographs, records of river stages and of the main river systems mentioned above. Investigation was carried out for the relations between measurable unitgraph and watershed characteristics such as watershed area, A, river length L, and centroid distance of the watershed area, Lca. Especially, this study laid emphasis on the derivation and application of Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH) by applying Nash's conceptual model and by using an electronic computer. I U H by Nash's conceptual model and I U H by flood routing which can be applied to the ungaged small watersheds were derived and compared with each other to the observed unitgraph. 1 U H for each small watersheds can be solved by using an electronic computer. The results summarized for these studies are as follows; 1. Distribution of uniform rainfall intensity appears in the analysis for the temporal rainfall pattern of selected heavy rainfall event. 2. Mean value of recession constants, Kl, is 0.931 in all watersheds observed. 3. Time to peak discharge, Tp, occurs at the position of 0.02 Tb, base length of hlrdrograph with an indication of lower value than that in larger watersheds. 4. Peak discharge, Qp, in relation to the watershed area, A, and effective rainfall, R, is found to be {{{{ { Q}_{ p} = { 0.895} over { { A}^{0.145 } } }}}} AR having high significance of correlation coefficient, 0.927, between peak discharge, Qp, and effective rainfall, R. Design chart for the peak discharge (refer to Fig. 15) with watershed area and effective rainfall was established by the author. 5. The mean slopes of main streams within the range of 1.46 meters per kilometer to 13.6 meter per kilometer. These indicate higher slopes in the small watersheds than those in larger watersheds. Lengths of main streams are within the range of 9.4 kilometer to 41.75 kilometer, which can be regarded as a short distance. It is remarkable thing that the time of flood concentration was more rapid in the small watersheds than that in the other larger watersheds. 6. Length of main stream, L, in relation to the watershed area, A, is found to be L=2.044A0.48 having a high significance of correlation coefficient, 0.968. 7. Watershed lag, Lg, in hrs in relation to the watershed area, A, and length of main stream, L, was derived as Lg=3.228 A0.904 L-1.293 with a high significance. On the other hand, It was found that watershed lag, Lg, could also be expressed as {{{{Lg=0.247 { ( { LLca} over { SQRT { S} } )}^{ 0.604} }}}} in connection with the product of main stream length and the centroid length of the basin of the watershed area, LLca which could be expressed as a measure of the shape and the size of the watershed with the slopes except watershed area, A. But the latter showed a lower correlation than that of the former in the significance test. Therefore, it can be concluded that watershed lag, Lg, is more closely related with the such watersheds characteristics as watershed area and length of main stream in the small watersheds. Empirical formula for the peak discharge per unit area, qp, ㎥/sec/$\textrm{km}^2$, was derived as qp=10-0.389-0.0424Lg with a high significance, r=0.91. This indicates that the peak discharge per unit area of the unitgraph is in inverse proportion to the watershed lag time. 8. The base length of the unitgraph, Tb, in connection with the watershed lag, Lg, was extra.essed as {{{{ { T}_{ b} =1.14+0.564( { Lg} over {24 } )}}}} which has defined with a high significance. 9. For the derivation of IUH by applying linear conceptual model, the storage constant, K, with the length of main stream, L, and slopes, S, was adopted as {{{{K=0.1197( {L } over { SQRT {S } } )}}}} with a highly significant correlation coefficient, 0.90. Gamma function argument, N, derived with such watershed characteristics as watershed area, A, river length, L, centroid distance of the basin of the watershed area, Lca, and slopes, S, was found to be N=49.2 A1.481L-2.202 Lca-1.297 S-0.112 with a high significance having the F value, 4.83, through analysis of variance. 10. According to the linear conceptual model, Formular established in relation to the time distribution, Peak discharge and time to peak discharge for instantaneous Unit Hydrograph when unit effective rainfall of unitgraph and dimension of watershed area are applied as 10mm, and $\textrm{km}^2$ respectively are as follows; Time distribution of IUH {{{{u(0, t)= { 2.78A} over {K GAMMA (N) } { e}^{-t/k } { (t.K)}^{N-1 } }}}} (㎥/sec) Peak discharge of IUH {{{{ {u(0, t) }_{max } = { 2.78A} over {K GAMMA (N) } { e}^{-(N-1) } { (N-1)}^{N-1 } }}}} (㎥/sec) Time to peak discharge of IUH tp=(N-1)K (hrs) 11. Through mathematical analysis in the recession curve of Hydrograph, It was confirmed that empirical formula of Gamma function argument, N, had connection with recession constant, Kl, peak discharge, QP, and time to peak discharge, tp, as {{{{{ K'} over { { t}_{ p} } = { 1} over {N-1 } - { ln { t} over { { t}_{p } } } over {ln { Q} over { { Q}_{p } } } }}}} where {{{{K'= { 1} over { { lnK}_{1 } } }}}} 12. Linking the two, empirical formulars for storage constant, K, and Gamma function argument, N, into closer relations with each other, derivation of unit hydrograph for the ungaged small watersheds can be established by having formulars for the time distribution and peak discharge of IUH as follows. Time distribution of IUH u(0, t)=23.2 A L-1S1/2 F(N, K, t) (㎥/sec) where {{{{F(N, K, t)= { { e}^{-t/k } { (t/K)}^{N-1 } } over { GAMMA (N) } }}}} Peak discharge of IUH) u(0, t)max=23.2 A L-1S1/2 F(N) (㎥/sec) where {{{{F(N)= { { e}^{-(N-1) } { (N-1)}^{N-1 } } over { GAMMA (N) } }}}} 13. The base length of the Time-Area Diagram for the IUH was given by {{{{C=0.778 { ( { LLca} over { SQRT { S} } )}^{0.423 } }}}} with correlation coefficient, 0.85, which has an indication of the relations to the length of main stream, L, centroid distance of the basin of the watershed area, Lca, and slopes, S. 14. Relative errors in the peak discharge of the IUH by using linear conceptual model and IUH by routing showed to be 2.5 and 16.9 percent respectively to the peak of observed unitgraph. Therefore, it confirmed that the accuracy of IUH using linear conceptual model was approaching more closely to the observed unitgraph than that of the flood routing in the small watersheds.

  • 광학급 LiF단결정의 열형광유선은 r선조사선양이 증가함에 따라서 변화한다. 즉 선량이 적을 때는 2개의 glow peak를 가지나, 선양이 정차 증가하여 10$_{5}$ rontgen 정도에 이르면 5개의 glow peak를 나타낸다. 이들 glow peak에 대응하는 energy 준위 Ei(i=1,2,3,4, 및 5)는 전도대 밑으로 부터의 깊이로 표시할 때 다음과 같은 값을 갖는다. 이들 E$_i{$의 값은 가열속도 $\theta_1$=6.6$^{\circ}C$/sec와 $\theta_2$=3.4$^{\circ}C$/sec에 대한 glow peak의 온도를 얻은 다음, Randall-Wilkins의 이론에 따라서 계산되었다. 광학급 LiF단결정에서 E$_1$과 E$_2$이외의 전자 trap은 열적으로 불안정하며 LiF(Mg) 열형광선양계에 불가결한 것으로 되어있는 sensitization의 효과가 거의 없다. LiF(Mg)는 $\theta$=6.6$^{\circ}C$/sec 일때, 17$0^{\circ}C$와 23$0^{\circ}C$에 glow peak를 나타내며 이들에 대응하는 전자 trap E$_4$와 E$_{5}$ 이외에 방사선이 조사됨에 따라서 E$_1$, E$_2$, E$_3$ 및 E$_{6}$의 전자 trap이 형성되며 이들 값은 다음과 같다. LiF(Mg)에서 방사선상해 때문에 형성된 E$_1$, E$_2$, E$_3$및 E$_{6}$는 모두 상당히 열적으로 안정하며, sensitization과정에서 형성된다. 이 안정한 6준위계에서 LiF(Mg)예 의한 방사선 선양측정이 시행되어야 한다. E$_1$,E$_2$,E$_3$ 및 E$_{6}$의 안정성은 LiF결정내의 $Mg^{$ ++/ 불순물의 영향으로 사료된다. 광학급 LiF단결정의 열형광에서 r선양의 대수표시양과 전열형광양의 대수표시 사이에 비선형성을 나타낸다. 그러나 열적으로 안정한 12$0^{\circ}C$ glow peak만을 고려하여 r선양의 대수표시양과 12$0^{\circ}C$ slow peak의 높이의 대수표시량 사이에서 비선형성이 감소되어, LiF(Mg)에 대한 곡선과 매우 유사한 곡선을 얻게 된다.

  • Heavy metal fluoride glasses exhibit considerable promise as high transparency materials from the UV to the IR. These glasses are prepared by fusion of the mixture of metal fulorides($ZrF_4$, $BaF_2$, $LaF_3$ etc) at 800-1, 00$0^{\circ}C$ under the inert$(N_2)$ or reactive ($CCl_4$, $Cl_2$) atmosphere following the casting into glass on cooling. Infrared absorption at the 3, 400 cm-1 -OH peak has been measured as a function of thickness for several ZrF-$BaF_2$-LaF and $HfF_4$-$BaF_2$-$LaF_3$ glasses to separate contributions from bulk and surface -OH. For glasses melted under $CCl_4$ reactive atmosphere the peak is due almost entirely to surface-OH. and melting in a closed reactor was best for removing -OH. In ambient atmosphere the -OH peak exhibited no time dependence over a 30 d period indicating a very small rate of surface attack by atmospheric H2O. Removal of -OH absorption processing was generally easier and more complete for the $BaF_2$/ThF4-glasses than for the $ZrF_4$-or $HfF_4$-based glasses.

  • 낚시 어구 재료의 규격을 정하는데는 우선 낚시에 물련 고기가 순간적으로 잡아채는 충기하중, 피로하중 등을 기본적으로 고려하여야 할 것이다. 본 실험은 부산수산대학 양어장에서 잉어가 낚시에 물렸을 때 미치는 힘을 strain gauge를 사용하여 측정하고 아울러 꼬리 진동 측정장치를 만들어 꼬리의 진동과 힘의 변화를 동시에 기록하여 분석해 보았다. 잉어가 낚시에 물렸을 때 미치는 최대의 힘 $F_m$은 고기의 체중 W에 따라$$F_m=3.23W+105$$로 나타났다. 시간 $t_n$에 대한 최대의 힘의 변화 $F_n$$$F_n=a_n(|t_n|+C)^{-b}_n$$ (단, $$C=(\frac{a_n}{F_m})^\frac{1}{b_n} -10T/2{\leq}t_n{\leq}10T/2$$)에서 $a_n=0.27W-6.52$이고 $b_n$은 평균 2.10이며 주기는 체중에 따라 T=0.000385W+0.193으로 주어진다. 잉어가 낚인 직후부터의 시간 t에 따라 꼬리 진동에 의한 각 Peak점의 힘의 크기 $F_p$$$F_p=(2.23W+105)e^{-{\beta}t}+W$$로 표시되는데, 낚시에 물린 초기단계에서는 지적지수 $\beta$가 거의 0에 가까우나 마지막 단계에서는 체중에 관계없이 평균 1.7정도 되었다. 또한, 잉어가 미치는 힘의 가 peak 점간의 주기는 재리 진동의 주기와 서로 밀접한 상관 관계가 있었다.

  • LC/MS를 이용하여 펩타이드 혹은 단백질 같은 물질을 분석하는 실험이 급격히 늘어남에 따라 LC/MS 데이터를 자동으로 처리하는 기술에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 이러한 LC/MS 데이터의 자동 분석 기술에 대한 연구는 현재 활발히 진행되어 왔고, 이를 직접 구현한 여러 상용 소프트웨어들이 개발되어 있는 상태이다. LC/MS 데이터는 noise 제거, background 데이터 제거, deconvolution 알고리즘을 적용한 분자량(molecular weight) 할당 등의 작업을 거쳐 분석하게 된다. 이러한 과정을 거쳐 얻어진 분자량에 대한 데이터가 올바른 값인지 검증하는 작업이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 검증 작업과 관련하여 Peak Clustering and Fitting(이하 PC&F)에 대한 알고리즘을 제안한다. PC&F은 peak 데이터들이 지니고 있는 속성에 대한 Mahalanobis distance를 이용하여 peak 데이터를 각 retention time에 따라 clustering 분석을 하는 작업이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 PC&F 알고리즘을 Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 MFC 환경에서 직접 개발한 소프트웨어(PeakClusterFitLCMS)로 실험하였다. 실험결과 PC&F 작업을 통해 동일한 구성물질로부터 발생한 peak 데이터를 모아서 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 분자량을 구할 수 있었고, 구성물질에 의해 발생되지 않은 noise peak 데이터를 찾아 제거시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Data pertained to 335 crossbred cows comprising of 1/2 Friesian (F) + 1/2 Hariana (H), 1/2 F + 1/4 Jersey (J) + 1/4 H, 1/2 F + 1/4 Brown Swiss (BS) + 1/4 H, 1/2 F + 1/4 Red Dane (R) + 1/4 H, FR (I) and FRH (I) genetic groups extending over a period of 21 years (1970-1990) maintained at Animal Farm of CCS HAU, Hisar. The averages for first lactation milk yield was $2,486.24{\pm}80.26kg$ and peak yield of first three lactation were $11.35{\pm}0.72kg$, $13.97{\pm}0.60kg$ and $16.02{\pm}0.42kg$, respectively. The lifetime milk production was observed as $11,305.16{\pm}1,004.52kg$ in crossbred cattle. The average first lactation fat yield was observed as $102.06{\pm}0.01kg$ and peak fat yield of first three lactation were $0.458{\pm}0.01$, $0.490{\pm}0.01$ and $0.500{\pm}0.02kg$, respectively. The lifetime fat production was estimated as $502.31{\pm}45.90kg$. LTMP and LTFP had reasonably good additive genetic variance which could be exploited either through mass selection/combined with family or pedigree selection. FLMY, peak yields and LTMP had significant positive phenotypic correlation with FLFY and LTFP and the correlation at the genetic level were also higher and positive for these traits. Finally, peak week milk yield of first lactation (PMY1) was the earliest available trait having desirable and significant correlation at phenotypic and positive at genetic level with FLFY, PFY1 and PFY2, PFY3 and LTFP and selection for this trait will help in early evaluation of sires and dams and will increase genetic advancement per unit of time.
