In 2004, the Incheon Urban Development Corporation held a design competition for the Song-Do apartment complex development. Several projects that won the prize in the recent design competitions were reviewed to look around the current design tendency, and current conditions of the site were surveyed. The authors tried to combine digital and environment-friendly factors, considering the site condition. Because the site is on reclaimed land and is located at the center of the information-technology industrial area, these two factors inform the main concept of this project. The site was divided into two different zones : the Ocean Zone and the Digital Zone. The 'community spaces'(community street, community plaza and so on) were designed for the various activities of the residents. The Patios, 'private' community spaces, included many facilities for play, appreciation, rest, exercise, refreshment and gathering. To avoid common landscape styles in the patios, simple and minimal forms were designed. The environmental sculptures were carefully planned, allocated and shaped with digital technology, based on the 'Present and Future of Song-Do'. The authors also tried to introduce environment-friendly factors, such as the green roof system, wall planting, and the water recycling system. This project is following the M.A. (Master Architect) process, and is still being modified to make the hi-tech and environment-friendly apartment complex.

The expression of the endogenous human apolipoprotein(apo)E gene was significantly induced when HepG2 cells were treated with exogenous 25-hydroxy-cholesterol. This sterol-mediated apoE gene upregulation appears to require the participation of a positive element for the apoE gene transcription (PET) ( -169/ -140), a core sequence of upstream regulatory element (URE)1 enhancer of the human apoE gene. This PET was renamed as sterol regulatory element (SRE)4 based on its new role as a sensor for the level of intracellular sterol. Furthermore, a gel mobility shift analysis showed that binding activity of the SRE4 binding protein (BP) obtained from HepG2 cells was induced by sterol treatment, while that from either MCF7 or BT20 cells remained unchanged. Binding activity of SRE4BP was also induced in mouse macrophage cells, J774A.1, by sterol treatment, but it was drastically reduced when cells were subjected to treatment of AY-9944, a potent inhibitor for sterol synthesis. However, binding activity of Spl, which is a co-binding protein to the SRE4 region, remained the same in either condition, suggesting that SRE4BP (formally known as PETBP) may be mainly responsible for the sterol-mediated regulation of the apoE gene expression. Deletion analysis of the core binding site of SRE4BP by gel mobility shift assays showed that the minimal sequence of the SRE4BP binding appears to reside between -157 and -140, confirming the identity of SRE4 with the previously determined core sequence of URE1.

The objective of this study was to evaluate monthly variation in semen characteristics in Black Bedouin and Black Bedouin${\times}$Damascus crossbred bucks. Twenty one Black Bedouin Goat bucks (BG) and 20 $F_1$ Black Bedouin${\times}$Damascus crossbred goat bucks (CB) were used in the study. Animals were 2 to 5 years old at the beginning of the study. Body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), scrotal circumference (SC) and semen samples were evaluated monthly for all bucks. Body weight, BCS and SC differed according to month of collection (p<0.0001). Body weight and BCS were greater in the spring and summer months while SC reached their highest values during the autumn months. No differences were detected between breeds with respect to semen characteristics with the exception of ejaculate volume (p<0.05) and ejaculate appearance (p=0.053) which were greater in CB than in BG bucks. With the exception of ejaculate appearance, all semen characteristics were influenced by month of collection (p<0.05). Semen concentration and motility were better during the late summer and autumn months than during the spring. The percentage of abnormal spermatozoa declined from its greatest values in the spring to its lowest values in the autumn. Results of the present study show no effects of goat breed on most of the studied parameters. In general, most semen quality parameters were better in both breeds during the autumn than the spring months. Minimal variation in semen quality was observed between the summer and autumn months indicating the ability to use bucks for semen collection and for natural breeding during both of these seasons.

Under standard condition (Han, et al., 1990: glucose 1%-nitrate 0.1% minimal medium, 30 ml in 9 cm plate, $10^6$ cells of inoculum per plate), wild type of Aspergillus nidulans developed both sexual and asexual organs in ballance, while velA1 mutant developed asexual ones preferentially. Increase of glucose concentration did not significantly affect the asexual sporulation. However, development of sexual organs were largely affected. It was greatly enhanced when favorable nitrogen source, for example, casein hydrolysate was added, which is contrary to the case of Neurospora or Saccharomyces where limitation of N source induces sexual development. On most of moderate C sources asexual development in $velA^+$ strain was largely inhibited except acetate on which only asexual spores were produced, while that in velA1 mutant strain was not affected. Lactose promoted the sexual development even in velA1 mutant indicating that lactose itself or its metabolic intermediate may induce sexual development independent of allelic state of velA gene. On other moderate favorable C sources, glycerol, galactose and ethanol, asexual development was largely inhibited in $velA^+$ strain but not in velA1 mutant strain. Sexual organs were, however, never produced on acetate. These results suggested that asexual development of wild type is largely dependent on C sources and the velA gene is involved in the repression of asexual development in not-enough-grown (non-competent) thalli resulting in preferential progression of sexual development.

QRS 영역 중 R파는 ECG 신호 중 가장 큰 대표 신호라 할 수 있으며, 이 점을 기준으로 다양한 특징점을 검출하기 때문에 R파의 검출성능을 높이기 위해 많은 노력을 기울여 왔다. 하지만 R파 검출은 여러 종류의 잡음성분들로 인하여 이를 분석하는데 어려움을 준다. 또한 QRS 영역의 진폭과 유사한 T파나 P파를 R파로 오인함으로써 검출의 어려움이 발생한다. ECG 신호처리는 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 자원에 대한 효율성을 고려해야 하며, 소형화 및 저 전력을 위해 단순해야 한다. 즉, 최소한의 연산량으로 정확한 R파를 검출함으로써 다양한 부정맥을 분류할 수 있는 적합한 알고리즘의 설계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차감 동작 기법(Subtractive Operation Method, 이하 SOM) 기반의 심전도 신호의 R파 검출 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 형태 연산을 통한 전처리 과정과 경험적 문턱값과 차감신호를 통해 R파를 검출하였으며, 검출의 효율성을 위하여 RR 간격을 이용한 동적 역탐색 기법을 적용하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 R파 검출 성능을 평가하기 위해서 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스를 사용하였다. 성능평가 결과, R파는 평균 99.41%의 검출결과가 나타났다.

심전도 신호의 QRS 영역은 심장의 질환을 판단하는 중요한 자료로 쓰이는데, 여러 종류의 잡음으로 인해 이를 분석하는데 어려움을 준다. 또한 일반인들의 건강상태를 지속적으로 모니터링 하는 헬스케어 시스템에서는 신호의 실시간 처리가 필요하다. 그리고 생체신호의 특성상 개인 간의 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, 일반적인 ECG 신호의 판단 규칙에 따라 진단을 수행함으로써 성능하락이 나타날 수밖에 없다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 최소한의 연산량으로 QRS를 검출하고 환자의 특성에 맞게 부정맥을 분류할 수 있는 알고리즘의 설계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 형태연산을 통한 효율적인 QRS 검출과 개인별 정상신호 분류를 위해 해쉬 함수를 적용하여 프로파일링 하였으며, 검출된 QRS 폭과 RR 간격을 이용하여 심실조기수축(PVC)을 분류하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스를 통해 기존 방법과 부정맥 분류 성능을 비교하였다. 성능평가 결과, R파는 평균 99.77%, 정상 신호 분류에 대한 에러율은 0.65%, PVC는 각각 93.29%로 기존 방법에 비해 약 5% 우수하게 나타났다.

비동기 트리거 처리기(ATP)는 데이타베이스 트랜잭션의 수행이 완료된 후에 트리거를 처리하는 소프트웨어 시스템이다. ATP 내에서는 트리거 조건의 효율적인 검사를 위하여 차별화 네트워크(discrimination network)가 사용된다. 차별화 네트워크는 내부 상태를 메모리 노드에 저장한다. TrigerMan은 하나의 ATP로써 차별화 네트워크로써 Gator 네트워크를 사용한다. 데이타베이스의 내용 변화는 트리거맨에 토큰 형태로 전달된다. 트리거 조건의 검사는 토큰이 Gator 네트워크를 통과하면서 이루어지는데, 이때 Gator 네트워크의 메모리 노드들이 갱신된다. 토큰의 병렬처리는 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 여러 방법 중 하나이지만 통제되지 않은 병렬처리는 잘못된 트리거 액션 수행을 유발한다. 이 논문은, 최소한의 이상 현상만을 허용하며 토큰의 병렬 처리를 가능하게 하는, 네 가지 트리거 처리 일관성 레벨을 제안한다. 우리는 각 일관성 레벨에 대하여 병렬 토큰 처리를 가능하게 하는 고유한 기술을 개발하였다. 제안된 기술은 안정된 방법이라는 사실이 공리를 통하여 증명되었으며, 이 기술은 실체화 된 (materialized) 뷰 유지 (view maintenance)에 사용될 수 있다.

Purpose: Since the report of artificial dermis manufacturing method using collagen by Yannas in 1980, collagen has been effectively used as dermal substitute with its merits such as, lower antigeneicity, controllable biodegradation rate, and minimal inflammatory cytotoxic properties in the dermal tissue engineering field. However, weak mechanical durability was the main drawback of collagen dermal substitute. To improve its stability, mechanical or chemical cross-linking was used. Despite of such process, its clinical use was restricted due to weak durability. To improve the durability of collagen matrix, we designed elastin-incorporated collagen matrix and compared its durability with conventional collagen matrix. Methods: 15mm diameter with 4mm thick collagen dermal matrix was made according to Yannas protocol by mixing 0.5% bovine collagen and chondroitin-6-sulfate followed by degassing, freeze drying, dehydrodermal cross-linking and chemical cross-linking procedure. In elastin incorporated collagen matrix, same procedure was performed by mixing elastin to previous collagen matrix in 4:1 ratio(collagen 80% elastin 20%). In comparison of the two dermal matrix in vitro tests, matrix contracture rate, strain, tensile strength, was measured and stiffness was calculated from comparative analysis. Results: In terms of matrix contracture, the elastin-incorperated added collagen dermis matrix showed 1.2 times more contraction compared to conventional collagen matrix. However, tensile strength showed 1.6 times and stiffness showed 1.6 times increase in elastin-incorporated matrix. Conclusion: Elastin incorperated collagen matrix manufactured by our team showed increased durability due to improvement in tensile strength and stiffness compared to previous collagen matrix($Integra^{(R)}$).

Coagglutination method is widely used for the diagnosis of Salmonella infection. This test, however, has a disadvantage of false positive reaction due to the coagglutination of staphylococci with non-specific immune complexes or anti-staphylococci antibody in serum. Salmonell O antigen was detected by enzyme immunoassay with protein A-bearing Staphylococcus aureus as in the solid phase. Horse radish peroxidase was labeled to IgG specific against Salmonella O antigen. This enzyme immunoassay was much more sensitive than conventional coagglutination method without false poitive agglutination. To improve the sensitivity for detection of Salmonella O antigen in samples, we tried to determine the optimal concentration of normal IgG that inhibits non-specific binding of horse radish peroxidase labeled IgG to staphylococci, and to establish the optimal condition of reaction between antigen-antibody complex and staphylococci. Non-specific binding of horse radish peroxidase labeled specific IgG to staphylococci was almost blocked when the enzyme labeled IgG was 500-fold diluted with phosphate buffered saline containing 2mg/ml of normal IgG. When staphylococci coated with antibody to Salmonella O antigen were mixed with antigen-antibody complex and then incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, the minimal detectable concentration of Salmonella O antigen was 1ng/ml. The sensitivity of enzyme immunoassay was 100-fold greater than a conventional coagglutination method. This enzyme immunoassay could be expected as an improved method for detection of other infectious agents.
