In recent years, the concern about a user center design in increasing, and it's needed to task a user's visual cognitive characteristics for information presentation. Then this study aims to grasp user's cognitive characteristics about the information presentation by analyzing the fixation points. In the experiment, actually subject operated a copy machine. Recorded the fixation point movement of the operation panel by the eye mark recorder. Analysis examined the screen interface of the operation panel from the field of a fixation point trace. The top down type fixation oder by experience or the context became clear as a result. Furthermore, the difference of the fixation order by skill level was also examined. In this study, it was assumed that to grasp the visual cognitive characteristics becomes the key of efficient information.

This study explored the feasibility of using a carburization technique to enhance the ion intensity of isotopic analysis of ultra-trace levels of uranium using thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS). Prior to fixing uranium samples on TIMS filaments, graphite powder suspended in nitric acid was deposited on rhenium filaments. We observed an enhancement of $^{238}U^+$ intensity by a factor of two when carburization was used, and were able to roughly optimize the amount of graphite powder necessary for carburization. The positive shift in heating current when evaporating filaments upon carburization implies that uranium was chemically altered by carburization, when compared to normal fixation processes. The good agreement between our method and known standards down to an ultra-trace level shows that the proposed technique can be applied to isotopic uranium analysis down to abundances of ~10 pg.

Purpose: Absorbable bone fixation materials for operation of facial bone fracture are composed of poly- lactic acid(PLA) & poly-glycolic acid(PGA). These materials are absorbed after facial bone healing period. Therefore, these materials are harmless in human body. But because of it's radioopacity, the number and the location of the materials are not checked in follow-up X-ray examination. We studied absorbable bone fixation materials checked radiological examination. So, we made the absorbable plate composed of PLA, Hydroxyapatite (HA) and Gold(Au). Methods: Plate 1 was consisted of pure PLA. Plate 2 was consisted of PLA(50%) and HA(50%). Plate 3 - 7 were consisted of PLA(50%), and variable composition of HA & Au. The ratio of Au was as following. From the plate 3 to plate 7, the Au ratio was 1%, 5%, 10%, 17%, and 25%, respectively. Total 3 examinations were used-naked eye examination, simple X-ray examination, and Haunsfield unit of plate in CT examination. Results: Naked eye examination found out that the color of plate 1 was most white. As the Au ratio increases, the color of plate was getting close to khaki color. the radioopacity of plate 2 was similar cortical bone of face in simple X-ray. The Haunsfield unit of cortical bone of face was 1000 HU. Haunsfield unit of titanium plate was 2900 HU. Haunsfield unit of plate 1 through plate 7 were -242, 1489, 1776, 3052, 3092, 3095, and 3095, respectively. Conclusion: Radioopacity of plate 2 was similar to cortical bone of face. In CT examination, Hanusfield unit of plate 2 was similar to Hanusfield unit of cortical bone of face. Hanusfield unit of plate 4 - 7 were similar to Hanusfield unit of titanium plate. So to trace bone fixation materials after facial bone surgery, the best ratio of Au is about 1 - 5%. If this study is applied to facial bone surgery, radiologic follow up would be easy after facial bone surgery.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are naturally occurring bacteria that intensively colonize plant roots and are crucial in promoting the crop growth. These beneficial microorganisms have garnered considerable attention as potential bio-inoculants for sustainable agriculture. PGPR directly interacts with plants by providing essential nutrients through nitrogen fixation and phosphate solubilization and accelerating the accessibility of other trace elements such as Cu, Zn, and Fe. Additionally, they produce plant growth-promoting phytohormones, such as indole acetic acids (IAA), indole butyric acids (IBA), gibberellins, and cytokinins.PGPR interacts with plants indirectly by protecting them from diseases and infections by producing antibiotics, siderophores, hydrogen cyanide, and fungal cell wall-degrading enzymes such as glucanases, chitinases, and proteases. Furthermore, PGPR protects plants against abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity by producing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase and modulating plant stress markers. Bacteria belonging to genera such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Pantoa, and Enterobacter exhibit multiple plant growth-promoting traits, that can enhance plant growth directly, indirectly, or through synergetic effects. This comprehensive review emphasizes how PGPR influences plant growth promotion and presents promising prospects for its application in sustainable agriculture.

The bacteria B1-9 that was isolated from the rhizosphere of the green onion could promote growth of pepper, cucumber, tomato, and melon plants. In particular, pepper yield after B1-9 treatment on the seedling was increased about 3 times higher than that of control plants in a field experiment. Partial 16S rDNA sequences revealed that B1-9 belongs to the genus Pantoea ananatis. Pathogenecity tests showed non-pathogenic on kimchi cabbage, carrot, and onion. The functional characterization study demonstrated B1-9's ability to function in phosphate solubilization, sulfur oxidation, nitrogen fixation, and indole-3-acetic acid production. To trace colonization patterns of B1-9 in pepper plant tissues, we used $DRAQ5^{TM}$ fluorescent dye, which stains the DNAs of bacteria and plant cells. A large number of B1-9 cells were found on the surfaces of roots and stems as well as in guard cells. Furthermore, several colonized B1-9 cells resided in inner cortical plant cells. Treatment of rhizosphere regions with strain B1-9 can result in efficient colonization of plants and promote plant growth from the seedling to mature plant stage. In summary, strain B1-9 can be successfully applied in the pepper plantation because of its high colonization capacity in plant tissues, as well as properties that promote efficient plant growth.

Zinc는 인체 내에 철$(Fe^{2+})$다음으로 많은 trace element로서 200여개 효소의 기능에 필수적일 뿐만 아니라 신경계통내에서는 신경조절물질로 작용한다. 뿐만 아니라 허혈, 간질 및 퇴행성 뇌질환의 주요 병리기전에도 관여되어 있다. 그러나 대부분의 Zinc는 단백질에 결합되어 (bound form)신경세포의 세포질 및 핵질내에 존재하고, 10% 이하의 Zinc는 이온상태(free form, $Zn^{2+}$)로 신경종말 (Zinc enriched terminal)에 있는데 , 후자만이 조직화학법으로 가시화된다. 최근까지 새로 개발된 조직화학법으로 Zinc enriched(ZEN)neurons의 분포에 관한 연구가 각광받고 있으나, 국내에서는 이에 대한 연구가 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구자는 고전적인 조직화학법의 기본 원리를 소개하고, 렛드 중추신경계통내 Zinc의 분포를 광학 및 전자현미경으로 관찰하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 실험동물은 Wistar 계통의 랫드(10주령)와 BALB/c 마우스이며, 마취제로는 Pentobarbital(50mg/kg)을 이용하였다. 생체 뇌조직내 이온상태의 $Zinc(Zn^{2+})$를 침전시키기 위하여 selenium(10mg/kg, i.p.)을 처리하였고, 1시간 후 3% Glutaraldehyde액으로 관류고정하여 동물을 희생시켰다. 뇌와 척수를 꺼내어 sucrose에 가라앉을때 까지 담가두었다가 Dry Ice를 이용하여 얼리고, Freezing microtome위에서 $30{\mu}m$두께의 절편을 작성하였다. 조직절편내 $Zn^{2+}$을 동정하기 위한 조직화학법으로는 autometallography (AMG) (Danscher, 1985)를 이용하였다. 광학현미경하에서 밝혀진 Zinc의 분포는 해마복합체를 비롯한 종뇌의 여러부위에 고농도로 분포하였고, 척수에는 중간정도, 그리고 소뇌 및 뇌간에는 매우 낮은 농도로 분포하였다. 전자현미경에서 관찰된 AMG염색과립(silver grains)은 신경종말에 있는 연접소포에 국한되었으며, 이러한 ZEN terminals은 주위 여러 신경세포의 돌기(dendrites)및 세포체 (soma)에 특이한 연접을 이루고 있었다. 즉 후각망울을 포함한 종뇌에서는 주로 비대칭연접 (asymmetrical synapses)이 관찰되었던 반면에, 척수에서는 대칭연접(symmetrical synapses)을 이루고 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 신경종말내 연접소포에 Zinc를 함유하고 있는 소위 ZEN terminals은 중추신경계통에 광범위하게 분포하고 있으며 또한 신경부위에 따라 다양한 분포와 미세구조의 차이를 보였다. 이러한 사실은 중추신경계통내에서 Zinc가 영위하는 신경생물학적 기능이 신경부위에 따라 다양할 것임을 시사한다.
