  • The glass series modified by tungsten oxide was created using the compounds (75-x) B2O3- 10SrCO3- 8TeO2- 7ZnO - xWO3, where x = 0, 1, 5, 10, 22, 27, 34, and 40% mole percentage. A UV-visible spectrophotometer and thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) methods were employed to characterize the specimen's optical and phase transition attributes, respectively. The mass-attenuation coefficient (AC) of all created glasses from BSTZW0 to BSTZ7 was estimated using Geant4 code from 0.05 to 3 MeV and compared to the XCOM software results, with a relative difference of less than 2% between the two results. The increase of WO3 percentage lead to an increase in the Linear-AC at each studied energy, and this is mainly due to the fact that the higher the percentage of WO3 in the glass increases its density which causes an increase in the Linear-AC, so an energy of 0.06 MeV, as an example, the values of the Linear-AC was 4.009, 4.509, 5.442, 6812, 8.564, 9.856, 10.999 and 11.628 cm-1 form BSTZW0 too BSTZW7, respectively. The Half-VL (value layer), Mean-FP (free path), Tenth-VL, and Radiation attenuation performance (RAP) were also calculated for the current BSTZW-glass samples and revealed that BSTZW7 had the best gamma ray attenuation performance at all discussed energies when compared to other studied glass samples.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the comparisons of the kinematical variables when performing Yoko Ukemi(side breakfall) by three Stage in Judo. The subjects were four male judokas who were trainees Y. I. University Squad members and the Yoko Ukemi were filmed by two S-VHS 16mm video cameras(60fields/sec.). The selected times were subject to KWON 3D analysis program and kinematical analysis to compare variables of three Yoko Ukemi. Temporal variables(total time-required : TK, TR by each phase), the body part touched order on the mat and COG variables were computed through video analysis while performing right Yoko Ukemi by three stage. From the data analysis and discussion, the following conclusions were drawn : 1. Temporal variables : total time-required(TR) when performing Yoko Ukemi(side breakfall) by each stage, the first stage(full squat posture: FP : 1.11sec.) showed the shortest time, the next was 3rd(Shizenhontai, straight natural posture: NP : 1.41sec.), and 2nd(Jigohontai, straight defensive posture, DP : 1.42sec.), respectively- 2. TR when performing Yoko Ukemi(side breakfall) by each stage, and phase : the first phase(take of phase, average 0.68sec.) showed the longest time, next was the third phase(ukemi phase, 0.39sec.), and the second phase(air phase, 0.23sec.), respectively. 3. When performing yore Ukemi the body part touched order and TR on the mat : hip(0.94sec.) showed the shortest time, the next was elbow hand(0.97sec.), back(0.98sec.), and shoulder(1.04sec.) order. The hip part touched on the mat the first, but slap the mat in order to alleviate the shock try hand palm and forearm before receiving impact (difference 0.03sec,) 4. Vertical COG variables in each event by each stage : e1(ready position, average 78.33cm) moved the highest, the next was e2(jumping position, 70.14cm), e3(transition position, average 64.00cm), e4(landing position, average 35.99cm), and e5(ukemi position, average 18.32cm) order, gradual decrease respectively. And the difference of COG were showed in initial by each stage, because position fo Yoko Ukemi was difference by each stage in preparation position, but in accordance with executing of Ukemi phase that difference of COG was by decreasing, almost equal displacement in e4(landing) and e5(Ukemi)position finally.

  • Vibrio harveyi is a pathogenic marine bacterium causing systemic symptoms resulting in mass mortalities in fishes and shrimps in aquaculture. Outer membrane proteins(OMPs) are related to the pathogenicity and thus good targets for diagnosis and vaccination for Gram negative bacteria. Recently vaccination strategies using the OMPs have been suggested to control vibriosis in several fish species. In this study, we have isolated V. harveyi from diseased marine fishes from different regions of Korea and investigated genetic variations of four OMP genes including OmpK, OmpU, OmpV and OmpW. Consequently, OmpK and U genes could be divided into 3 subgroups of type I, II, III and type A, B, C, respectively, without any correlation with geographical regions and species while OmpV and W were highly homologous. OmpW gene of V. harveyi FP4138 was fully sequenced and predicted the deduced amino acid sequence to form ${\beta}-barrel$ with hydrophobic channel. Indeed, the immunogenicity of recombinant OmpW produced in Escherichia coli was assessed by vaccinating flounder. As a result, the high antibody response with antibody titer of $4.2{\pm}0.7$ and protection with relative percent survival of 60% against artificial infection of V. harveyi were demonstrated. This result indicates that OmpW is a virulence related factor and it can be a vaccine candidate to prevent a high mortality caused by V. harveyi infection in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus.

  • Photosynthetic responses to dehydration were examined by the simulataneous measurement of O2 evolution and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence in green pepper leaves. Dehydration was induced by immersing the plant roots directly in the Hoagland solution containing varying concentration (2-30%) of polyethylene glycol(PEG-6000) . Water potential of the leaf was decreased time-and concentation -dependently by PEG-treatment. The decrease in water potential of leaf was correlated with the decrease in both the maximal photosynthesis (Pmax) and quantum yield of O2 evolution, but Pmax dropped more rapidly than quantum yield at all water deficit conditions tested. However, Chl fluorescence parameters were not affected much. Dehydration did not change the initial fluorescence (Fo) and maximum photochemical efficiency(Fv/Fm) of photosystem(PS) II. Both the photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching(NPQ) were not changed by dehydration under low PFR(50 $\mu$mols m-2s-1 ). In contrast, under high PFR(270$\mu$mols m-2s-1)qP was slightly decreased while NPQ was greatly increased. The fast induction kinetics of Chl fluroecence showed no change in Chl fluorescence pattern by dehydration at high PFR (640 $\mu$mols m-2s-1 ), but exhibited a significant drop in peak level(Fp)at low PRFR (70$\mu$mols m-2s-1 ). PS I oxidation and reduction kinetics revealed normal reduction but delayed oxidation to P-700+, suggesting no lesionin electron flow from PSII to PSI , but impaired electron transport to NADP+,These results suggest that water stress caused by PEG-treatment results in the reduction of photosynthesis, promarily due to the reducted electron trasport from PSI to NADP+ or hampered subsequent steps involving Calvin Cycle.

  • Eukaryotic cells consist of a complex network of thousands of proteins present in different organelles where organelle-specific cellular processes occur. Identification of the subcellular localization of a protein is important for understanding its potential biochemical functions. In the post-genomic era, localization of unknown proteins is achieved using multiple tools including a fluorescent-tagged protein approach. Several fluorescent-tagged protein organelle markers have been introduced into dicot plants, but its use is still limited in monocot plants. Here, we generated a set of multicolored organelle markers (fluorescent-tagged proteins) based on well-established targeting sequences. We used a series of pGWBs binary vectors to ameliorate localization and co-localization experiments using monocot plants. We constructed different fluorescent-tagged markers to visualize rice cell organelles, i.e., nucleus, plastids, mitochondria, peroxisomes, golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and tonoplast, with four different fluorescent proteins (FPs) (G3GFP, mRFP, YFP, and CFP). Visualization of FP-tagged markers in their respective compartments has been reported for dicot and monocot plants. The comparative localization of the nucleus marker with a nucleus localizing sequence, and the similar, characteristic morphology of mCherry-tagged Arabidopsis organelle markers and our generated organelle markers in onion cells, provide further evidence for the correct subcellular localization of the Oryza sativa (rice) organelle marker. The set of eight different rice organelle markers with four different FPs provides a valuable resource for determining the subcellular localization of newly identified proteins, conducting co-localization assays, and generating stable transgenic localization in monocot plants.

  • Purpose : This study purposed on the understanding of psychology in the elderly women using depression scale and electroephalography. The subjects were thirty elderly women in geriatric care hospital. All participants were elderly women over 65 years old. The subjects signed up with informed consent and they were divided into a normal elderly group, an exercise elderly group and a hospital elderly group. They were randomly assigned with 10 persons. Methods : The study instruments were Geriatric Depression Scale(GDS) and Poly-G-I. Brain wave activity was measured by 'power spectrum analysis' of TeleScan program. Statistic analysis consisted of average, standard deviation, One-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey using SPSS 21.0 version. The significance was set at .05. Results : Depression scale results showed that the exercise elderly group were $10.60{\pm}5.36$ points which was the lowest among the three groups. The Normal elderly group was $16.20{\pm}5.59$, and the hospitalized elderly group was $16.70{\pm}6.76$ points. There was no significant difference between the normal elderly group, exercise elderly group and hospitalized elderly group. The hospitalized group showed statistical difference in relative theta power in the area of Fp1, F3, F4, T3, P3 as compared to the normal elderly group and the exercise elderly groups. There was no significant difference between relative beta power and relative gamma power in three groups. Conclusion : Geriatric depressed scale showed no significant difference in each group. This is indicated in the mental problems associated with depression. This indicates a higher level of depression in the hospitalized elderly women, more than in the normal elderly women and exercise elderly women groups.

  • The cloud storage provides flexible data storage services for data owners to remotely outsource their data, and reduces data storage operations and management costs for data owners. These outsourced data bring data security concerns to the data owner due to malicious deletion or corruption by the cloud service provider. Data integrity verification is an important way to check outsourced data integrity. However, the existing data verification schemes only consider the case that a verifier launches multiple data verification challenges, and neglect the verification overhead of multiple data verification challenges launched by multiple verifiers at a similar time. In this case, the duplicate data in multiple challenges are verified repeatedly so that verification resources are consumed in vain. We propose a duplicate data verification algorithm based on multiple verifiers and multiple challenges to reduce the verification overhead. The algorithm dynamically schedules the multiple verifiers' challenges based on verification time and the frequent itemsets of duplicate verification data in challenge sets by applying FP-Growth algorithm, and computes the batch proofs of frequent itemsets. Then the challenges are split into two parts, i.e., duplicate data and unique data according to the results of data extraction. Finally, the proofs of duplicate data and unique data are computed and combined to generate a complete proof of every original challenge. Theoretical analysis and experiment evaluation show that the algorithm reduces the verification cost and ensures the correctness of the data integrity verification by flexible batch data verification.

  • 디지털 영상의 배포에서, 위 변조자에 의해 영상이 변조되는 심각한 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 영상의 픽셀값 경사도에 따른 특징벡터를 이용한 미디언 필터링 영상 포렌식 판정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서, 원영상의 픽셀값 경사도로부터 자기회귀 계수를 1~6차까지의 6 Dim.을 계산한다. 그리고 경사도를 Poisson 방정식의 해에 의한 재구성 영상과 원영상과의 차영상으로 부터, 4 Dim. (평균값, 최대값 그리고 최대값의 좌표 i,j)의 특징벡터를 추출한다. 2 종류의 특징벡터는 10 Dim.으로 조합되어 변조된 영상의 미디언 필터링 (Median Filtering: MF) 검출기의 SVM (Support Vector Machine) 분류를 위한 학습에 사용된다. 제안된 미디언 필터링 검출 알고리즘은 동일 10 Dim. 특징벡터의 MFR (Median Filter Residual) 스킴과 비교하여 원영상, 평균필터링 ($3{\times}3$) 영상 그리고 JPEG (QF=90) 영상에서는 성능이 우수하며, Gaussian 필터링 ($3{\times}3$) 영상에서는 성능이 다소 낮지만, 성능평가 전체항목에서 민감도 (Sensitivity; TP: True Positive rate)와 1-특이도 (1-Specificity; FP: False Positive rate)의 AUC (Area Under Curve)가 모두 1에 수렴하여 'Excellent (A)' 등급임을 확인하였다.

  • 목적: 조직 특이 프로모터를 이용하면 특정 암조직내에서만 원하는 치료유전자를 발현시킬 수 있다. 나트륨 옥소 공동 수송체(sodium iodide symporter: NIS) 유전자는 옥소를 섭취하는 특성을 가져 방사성옥소를 이용한 치료용 유전자로 사용될 수 있다. 광학 영상용 유전자인 luciferase (Luc) 유전자를 세포에 이입하면 비침습적으로 유전자가 이입된 세포의 상태를 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구는 간암 특이성을 나타내는 AFP 프로모터에 의해 발현이 조절되는 NIS유전자와 CMV프로모터에 의해 발현되는 Luc유전자를 간암세포에 이입하여 NIS유전자 이입에 의한 방사성옥소 유전자치료의 효과를 알아보고, 종양사멸 정도를 광학 리포터 유전자 발현으로 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: AFP enhancer와 GSTP 프로모터를 연결하여 AFP프로모터를 제작하였으며 이를 NIS유전자와 연결하였다. 또한 CMV 프로모터에 조절 받는 Luc 유전자를 동시에 삽입하여 AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자 발현 벡터를 생산하였다. 실험 대상 세포주로는 간암세포주인 HepG2와 Huh-7 세포와 사람 대장암세포주인 HCT-15 세포를 이용하였다. AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 발현벡터를 Liposome을 이용해 실험대상 세포주 내로 이입하였으며, 방사성옥소 섭취율과 방사성옥소의 유출량을 측정하였다. 또한 Luciferase 발현 정도를 luminometer로 측정하였으며, clonogenic assay를 통하여 I-131에 대한 세포주에 따른 사멸효과 차이를 알아보았다. AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자 이입 세포주를 누드마우스에 대퇴부 피하에 주입하여 I-131 축적여부를 감마카메라 영상을 획득하였다. 결과: AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자 발현 벡터를 제작하였다. AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자가 이입된 HepG2와 Huh-7 세포의 방사성옥소 섭취율은 유전자 이입이 되지 않은 대조군 HepG2와 Huh-7 세포에 비하여 높았으며, $KClO_4$를 처리시 옥소 섭취가 저해되었다. 대장암 세포주인 HCT-15세포에 AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc유전자를 이입 시 방사성옥소의 섭취률은 증가되지 않았다. 30분간 방사성옥소를 섭취시킨 AFP-NIS-Luc 유전자가 이입된 HepG2와 Huh-7 세포에서의 방사성옥소의 유출반감기는 약 4분과 6분으로 각각 나타났다. AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자가 이입된 HepG2, Huh-7세포의 Luc 유전자의 발현은 241, 441 $RLU/2\;{\times}\;10^5$ cells로 나타났으며, 대조군 HepG2와 Huh구세포에서의 Luc 유전자의 발현은 74, $RLU/2\;{\times}\;10^5$ cells로 나타났다. HCT-15 세포는 AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자 이입에 따라 I-131에 의한 세포 사멸능이 증가되지 않았으나, HepG2 및 Huh-7 세포는 FP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자 이 입에 따라 I-131에 의한 세포 사멸능이 증가되었으며, Huh-7세포의 경우 0.5mCi의 I-131을 투여한 경우 모든 세포가 사멸하였다. AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자가 이입된 Huh-7 세포수가 많을수록 방사성옥소 섭취율이 증가하며 luciferase활성도도 높게 나타났다. AFP-NIS-CMV-Luc 유전자가 이입된 Huh-7 세포를 이식한 누드마우스에 I-131 감마카메라 영상에서 종양이식부위에 방사능 축적을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 결론: AFP프로모터의 의하여 NIS유전자가 발현되며, CMV프로모터에 의한 Luc 유전자가 발현되는 벡터를 제작하였으며, 이 벡터를 이입한 경우 간암세포에서만 I-131의 세포 독성이 증가하는 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 Luc유전자를 이용하여 비침습적인 광학 영상으로 세포사멸 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 간암특이 프로모터에 조절되는 치료 유전자와 광학리포터 유전자를 한 벡터에 동시에 이입하면 간암 특이 유전자 치료와 그 치료효과를 비침습적으로 평가할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
