This study was experimented that developmental effects of bovine in vitro fertilized embryos by coculture system and supplementation of energy materials into simple media. With the ovaries from slaughter house in vitro maturation by 24h, in vitro fertilization was performed with sperms collected by Percoll gradient method. Fertilized embryos were cocultured in 15% FCS+CZB medium with BOEC(bovine oviductal epithelial cell), GCM (granulosa cell monolayer) and MEFC(mouse embryonic fihrohlast cell). And also in this study, there was trying to improve the early developmental rate of embryos by addition of concentration-controlled Na-pyruvate, D-glucose which were used as energy sources into CZB medium. In vitro developmental rate was confirmed by the cleavage rate of 48h post-IVF and the embryo development rate at 240h culture. In the coculture system BOEC had 20.0% of blastocysts rate, which was higher than that of other coculture systems. To determine the optimum concentration for early embryo developmental rate rapidly, through the gradient of concentrations of Na-pyruvate and D-glucose, we focused on the cleavage rate at 48h and blastocysts rate at 240h. In case of Na-pyruvate, cleavage rate and developmental rate over 3-cell were lower at the concentration of 1.OOrnM than the other treatment concentrations, otherwise the blastocysts rate was higher as 23.2% than the others. That result showed that as like reported group which had higher develop-mental rate over 3-cell was also higher to the blastocysts rate. In case of D-glucose, there was no effects through the concentration changes. It was the result of this study for which the use of BOEC coculture system and 1.OOmM Na-pyruvate as an energy source had an effect upon embryo development.

본 연구는 지반위에 놓여진 콘크리트 슬래브가 온도하중을 받아서 컬링할 때의 거동을 실내 실험을 통해 분석하고 슬래브를 지지하고 있는 하부층의 구성이 슬래브의 컬링 거동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험을 위해 콘크리트슬래브를 제작하고 온도측정센서를 장착하였으며 인위로 온도하중을 가하며 슬래브의 여러 위치에서 변위의 변화를 측정하였다. 하부층은 두 가지의 관점을 고려하여 구성하였으며, 첫째는 단일 하부층을 이용하여 재료와 두께를 달리하여 지지력을 다르게 하는 경우이며, 둘째는 하부층을 복층으로 구성하되 복합지지력은 일정하나 슬래브와 직접 접촉하는 상위하부층의 재료성질을 다르게 하는 경우이다. 실험결과 시간에 따른 슬래브의 수직 변위 변화는 온도구배의 변화와 거의 일치하는 양상을 보였으며 컬링 거동의 특성을 컬업 구간과 컬다운 구간으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 하부층의 지지력은 커질수록 슬래브의 중앙과 코너의 수직 변위 차이는 감소하게 되며 최상위 하부충의 재료 성질이 컬링 거동에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Blur is an important type of image distortion. How to evaluate the quality of blurred image accurately and efficiently is a research hotspot in the field of image processing in recent years. Inspired by the multi-scale perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS), this paper presents a no-reference image blur/sharpness assessment method based on multi-scale local features in the spatial domain. First, considering various content has different sensitivity to blur distortion, the image is divided into smooth, edge, and texture regions in blocks. Then, the Gaussian scale space of the image is constructed, and the categorized contrast features between the original image and the Gaussian scale space images are calculated to express the blur degree of different image contents. To simulate the impact of viewing distance on blur distortion, the distribution characteristics of local maximum gradient of multi-resolution images were also calculated in the spatial domain. Finally, the image blur assessment model is obtained by fusing all features and learning the mapping from features to quality scores by support vector regression (SVR). Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on four synthetically blurred databases and one real blurred database. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can produce quality scores more consistent with subjective evaluations than other methods, especially for real burred images.

We investigated the possibility of industrial application and economit process of high temperature fermentation by thermotolerant alcohol producing yeasts as previously reported. From the 20% glucose media, the RA-74-2 produced 11.8% (v/v) ethanol at $32^{\circ}C$ (0.5% inoculum) and 10.6% (v/v) ethanol at $40^{\circ}C$ (3% inoculum), respectively. Also, 11.3% (v/v) ethanol was produced for 96 hours in the temperature-gradient fermentation. These results suggest that the RA-74-2 could isuccessfully be applied to save the cooling water and energy in industrial scale without re-investment or modification of established fermentation systems. When potato starch was used as the substrate for the RA-74-2, high temperature fermentation above $40^{\circ}C$ was more appropriate for industrial utilization because organic nitrogen was not necessary to economical fermentation. As the naked barley media just prior to industrial inoculation, taken from the Poongkuk alcohol industry Co., were used, 9.6% (v/v) ethanol was produced at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours in jar-fermentor scale (actually, 9.5-9.8% (v/v) ethanol was produced at 30~$32^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours in industrial scale). The ethanol productivity was increased by the high glucoamylase activity as well as the high metabolic ratio at $40^{\circ}C$ Therefore, if the thermotolerant yeast RA-74-2 would be used in industrial scale, we could obtain a high productivity and saving of the cooling water and energy. Meanwhile, the RA-912 produced 6%(v/v) ethanol in 10% glucose media at $45^{\circ}C$ and showed the less ethanol-tolerance compared with industrial strains. As the produced alcohol was recovered by the vacuum evaporator at $45^{\circ}C$ in 15% glucose media, the final fermentation ratio was enhanced (76% of theoretical yields). This suggest that a hyperproductive process could be achieved by a continuous input of the substrate and continuous recovery of the product under vacuum in high cell-density culture.

Microwave diagnostics have been widely utilized to measure the important parameters of high temperature and high density plasmas. Reflectometry is known as a promising microwave diagnostic which has a number of merits to measure electron density profiles. In the KSTAR device, X-mode FM reflectometry is planned to measure the plasma density profiles. FM reflectometry is required to extract phase information on raw mixer IF signals, thereby obtaining time-of-flight of reflectometry signals. It is known that the data analysis method is crucial to determine the performance of FM reflectometry In fact, there are several analysis programs which have been utilized in various FM systems. Since each program was developed for a specific device, however, it is difficult to directly apply it to a different reactor like the KSTAR device. It is necessary, therefore, to develop a data analysis program for the KSTAR FM reflectometry. In this paper, complex digital demodulation (CDM) and wavelet transformation are examined in terms of the performance of density profile reconstruction. For the comparison of both methods, FM reflectometry signals are generated on the basis of assumed profiles and the interaction of the X-mode wave and the plasma. In order to see how well both methods work under various conditions, three types of profiles are assumed and noise effects are included. As a result, both methods work well under the condition of gentle density gradient and small noise level. As density gradient becomes steeper and noise level gets higher. the reconstruction performance of wavelet is better than that of CDM.

In recent year, energy harvesting technologies from the ambient environments such as light, motion, wireless waves, and temperature again a lot of attraction form research community [1-5] due to its efficient solution in order to substitute for conventional power delivery methods, especially in wearable together with on-body applications. The drawbacks of battery-powered characteristic used in commodity applications lead to self-powered, long-lifetime circuit design. Thermoelectric generator, a solid-state sensor, is useful compared to the harvesting devices in order to enable self-sustained low-power applications. TEG based on the Seebeck effect is utilized to transfer thermal energy which is available with a temperature gradient into useful electrical energy. Depending on the temperature difference between two sides, amount of output power will be proportionally delivered. In this work, we illustrated a low-input voltage energy harvesting circuit applied discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) method for getting an adequate amount of energy from thermoelectric generator (TEG) for a specific wearable application. With a small temperature gradient harvested from human skin, the input voltage from the transducer is as low as 60mV, the proposed circuit, fabricated in a $0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS process, is capable of generating a regulated output voltage of 4.2V with an output power reaching to $40{\mu}W$. The proposed circuit is useful for powering energy to battery-less systems, such as wearable application devices.

A deletion of one out of the two copies of 9-bp repeat sequence (CCCCCTCTA), between the cytochrome oxidase II and Iysine tranfer RNA (COII/$tRNA^{Lys}$) genes in human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used as a polymorphic anthropological marker for people of east Asian origin, and to lesser extent, Pacific and African populations. We searched for the 9-bp deletion of the intergenic COII/$tRNA^{Lys}$ Lys region in two Korean populations (175 from Seoul and 38 from Cheju) and examine the distibution of this deletion in world populations. The 9-bp deletion was detected directly by electrophoresis of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified nucleotide(nt) 8211-8310 mtDNA fragment. The frequencies of the 9-bp deletion were significantly different between the Seoul (16%) and Cheju (8%) populations. Examination of data from the world populations suggests a geographic gradient. The frequency reaches its highest values in some Pacific island populations and decreases along the southeast Asia-Siberia transect. In spite of this geographic gradient, Mongoloid populations including Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Mongolian populations were relatively homo-geneous with regard to the 9-bp deletion type of the intergenic COII/$tRNA^{Lys}$ region. These results indicate Koreans are genetically related to northeast Asian populations, and have a maternal mongoloid ancestry. Therefore, the 9-bp deletion of the intergenic COII/$tRNA^{Lys}$ region will provide significant information to elucidate the historical patterns of migration of the Mongoloids.
