개승마속 내 7분류군이 갖는 화분형태학적 형질변이의 분류학적 유용성을 알아보기 위하여 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 자세히 관찰하였다. 본 속의 화분은 단립으로 크기는 소립($P=8.33-12.57{\mu}m$, $E=8.93-14.40{\mu}m$)이며, 극축면에서는 아원형에서 원형의 형태를, 적도면에서는 아단구형에서 약장구형에 걸친 형태를 나타내고(P/E = 0.68-1.70), 과립상 돌기를 지닌 3공구형의 발아구를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 화분의 표면무늬는 기본적으로 유선상의 특징을 지니고 있으나, 천공의 유무, 유선과 유선 사이의 너비 등에서는 차이를 보여주었다. 특히, A. dioicus var. acuminatus는 속내의 다른 분류군에 비해서 상대적으로 짧고 높게 솟아있는 유선을 갖는 특징으로 구분됨을 확인하였다. 화분학적 형질을 종합한 결과, 개승마속의 다양한 화분학적 변이의 조합은 속 내 일부 분류군을 구별하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났다.

폴리 카보네이트와 스티렌-아크릴로니트릴 공중합체, 그리고 이들의 혼합물이 혼합기에서 용융 가공되는 동안 고강도 초음파를 조사하였다. 순수한 고분자의 경우에 용융상태에서 가해진 초음파 에너지에 의하여 용융점도가 감소되었으며, 혼합물에서는 분산상의 크기가 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 초음파 조사에 따른 성분 고분자의 용융점도 저하는 가공 중에 거대 라디칼이 생성된 것과 관련이 있으며, 이들의 상호 결합으로 말미암아 폴리 카보네이트/스티렌-아크릴로니트릴 혼합물의 상용화가 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 전체적인 상용화의 효과는 혼합물의 형태학과 기계적 성질을 측정함으로 평가하였다. 총 조사 시간 5분 중에서 약 3분을 전후하여 분산상의 크기가 현저하게 감소하였고 혼합이 끝난 시료를 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 10분간 방치한 후의 형태학은 초음파로 처리된 경우에 매우 안정한 상 구조를 유지하였다. 아울러 파단 신율과 인장강도와 같은 기계적 성질이 현저하게 향상되는 결과를 바탕으로, 고강도 초음파를 이용한 용융 혼합은 별도의 상용화제의 투입 없이 비상용계 고분자 혼합물을 상용화할 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 판단되었다.

본 논문은 복잡한 도로 환경에서 차선을 정확하게 찾는 실시간 차선 검출법을 보인다. 기존의 많은 방법들은 대게 후처리 과정에서 차선 안쪽에 존재하는 잡음을 찾아 차선의 위치를 찾지만, 제안하는 방법은 특징 추출 단계에서 가능한 많은 잡음을 제거하므로 후처리 과정에서 검색 영역을 최소화한다. grid기반 모폴로지 연산은 우선 관심영역을 능동적으로 생성한 후, 모폴로지의 닫기 연산을 통해 에지 들을 연결한다. 그리고 방향성 에지 연결 기법을 통하여 유효한 방향에지를 찾고 사전에 구해진 영상 내 차선의 높이와 두 차선 간의 폭 관계를 이용하여 두 개의 차선을 군집화한다. 마지막으로 차선의 색상은 YUV색상 공간에서 두 개의 연결된 에지 안쪽을 검사하여 Bayesian확률 모델을 사용하여 추정한다. 제안하는 방법의 실험 결과는 다수의 불필요한 에지 군집이 존재하는 복잡한 도로 환경에서 효과적으로 도로 에지를 감별하였으며, 제안하는 알고리즘은 해상도 $320{\times}240$ 영상으로 10ms/frame의 속도에서 약92%의 정확도를 보였다.

$TiO_2$ thin film has wide application because of its high capacitanca, reflection, and good transmissivity in visible range. $TiO_2$ thin film can be made by thermal deposition method, reactive evaporation method, activated reactive evaporation(ARE) method. In the case of thermal deposition, the oxygen deficiency can occur because the melting point of Ti is very high. While in the case of reactive evaporation, high density $TiO_2$ can not be made, because reactive gas($O_2$) and evaporated material(Ti) are not fully combined, activated reactive evaporation, $TiO_2$ is easily deposited at lower gas pressure compared with reactive evaporation because the ionized reactive gas is made by plasma. Therefore, activated reactive evaporation is very useful to deposit the material having the high melting point. In this work, we formed $TiO_2$ thin film by activated reactive evaporation method. The surface of $TiO_2$ thin film was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface morphology which was analyzed by atomic force microscopy(AFM) shows that feature of the film surface is uniform. The dielectric capacitance, withstanding voltage were $600{\mu}F/cm^2$, 0.4V respectively. In further work, we can increase the withstanding voltage by improving the deposition parameter of substrates.

The purpose of this study is to establish a basic culture system enabling in vitro culture of chicken blastodermal cells and to test the feasibility of retrovirus-mediated gene transfer to the cultured cells. The blastodermal cells were isolated from freshly laid eggs of stage X and cultured with or without STO feeder layer cells. Stem cell-like morphology was maintained after multiple passages and RT-PCR analysis proved expression of several stem cell specific genes. Immunocytochemical analysis using antibodies of anti-EMA-1 and anti-SSEA-1 also showed the feature of stem cells. Infection of the cultured blastodermal cells with LNCGW retrovirus vector resulted in successful transfer of foreign genes. The results of this study may be useful in establishing stem cell-mediated transgenic chicken production.

It is well known that the morphologic feature of coronary artery is variant as finger print. Left coronary artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery and supplies almost left atrium, left ventricle and interventricular septum. Clinically, the morphologic features of number of branches and the length of the left main coronary artery are important. In Korea, there are few reports about morphologic study of the coronary artery, and the coronary angiogram and open heart surgery are common. Now the author studied the morphology of the proximal part of the left coronary artery in Korean 50 Adult cadavers and obtained the following results: 1. The length of the left main coronary artery is from 5 mm to 16 mm [mean 9.7 mm]. 2. The diameter of the proximal part of the left coronary artery is from 3.2 mm to 7.7 mm [mean 5.3]. 3. The features of the branching are bifurcation [58%] trifurcation [38%] and quadrifurcation [4%]. 4. The diameter of the left anterior descending artery is from 2.7 mm to 8.1 mm [mean 4.5] and circumflex artery from 2.1 mm to 6.2 mm [mean 3.9].

A meso-urban meteorological model (Urbanized MM5; uMM5) with urban canopy parameterization (UCP) was applied to the high-resolution simulation of meteorological fields in a complex coastal urban area and the assessment of urban impacts. Multi-scale simulations with the uMM5 in the innermost domain (1-km resolution) covering the Busan metropolitan region were performed during a typical sea breeze episode (4~8 August 2006) with detailed fine-resolution inputs (urban morphology, land-use/land-cover sub-grid distribution, and high-quality digital elevation model data sets). An additional simulation using the standard MM5 was also conducted to identify the effects of urban surface properties under urban meteorological conditions. Results showed that the uMM5 reproduced well the urban thermal and dynamic environment and captured well the observed feature of sea breeze. When comparison with simulations of the standard MM5, it was found that the uMM5 better reproduced urban impacts on temperature (especially at nighttime) and urban wind flows: roughness-induced deceleration and UHI (Urban Heat Island)-induced convergence.

A green biosynthesis method is described for the preparation of Polyaniline (PANI)-cerium dioxide ($CeO_2$) nanocomposites in different media via in-situ oxidative polymerization procedure. The effect of various media including use of HCl, Lemon Juice, Beverage, White Vinegar, Verjuice and Apple vinegar extracts on the particles size, morphology as well as the conductivity of $PANI-CeO_2$ nanocomposites was investigated. The electron-withdrawing feature of $CeO_2$ increases doping level of PANI and enhances electron delocalization. These cause a significantly blue shift of C = C stretching band of quinoid from $1570cm^{-1}$ to $1585cm^{-1}$. The optical properties of the pure material and polymeric nanocomposites as well as their interfacial interaction in nanocomposite structures analyzed by UV-visible spectroscopy. The DC electrical conductivity (${\sigma}$) of as-prepared HCl doped PANI and a $PANI-CeO_2$ nanocomposite measured by a four-probe method at room temperature was studied.

Wind damage of urban trees arises to be a serious issue especially in the typhoon-prone areas. As a family of tree species widely-planted in Southeast China, the structural behaviors of Plane tree is investigated. In order to accommodate the complexities of tree morphology, a fractal theory based finite element modeling method is proposed. On-site measurement of Plane trees is performed for physical definition of structural parameters. It is revealed that modal frequencies of Plane trees distribute in a manner of grouped dense-frequencies; bending is the main mode of structural failure. In conjunction with the probability density evolution method, the fragility assessment of urban trees subjected to wind excitations is then proceeded. Numerical results indicate that small-size segments such as secondary branches feature a relatively higher failure risk in a low wind level, and a relatively lower failure risk in a high wind level owing to windward shrinks. Besides, the trunk of Plane tree is the segment most likely to be damaged than other segments in case of high winds. The failure position tends to occur at the connection between trunk and primary branches, where the logical protections and reinforcement measures can be implemented for mitigating the wind damage.

Vacuolar degeneration of the gastric epithelial cells is a characteristic feature of the derangement of mucosa where Helicobacter pylori colonizes, and H. pylori vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) has been suggested to playa key role in it. To elucidate the VacA-involved degenerative mechanism, VacA was purified, and its impact on degeneration of HeLa cells was determined. In the presence of ammonium chloride, cell vacuolation by VacA was dose-and time-dependent, however, no detectable degeneration of the cells was observed with the VacA concentration tested. A further increase of vacuolation was shown in cells pre-treated with diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) , and this resulted in a change of the cell morphology to become spherical. Similar phenomena were also observed when HeLa cells were co-cultivated with intact H. pylori cells. It was remarkable to note that the degree of growth inhibition was proportional to the increase in vacuole formation, suggesting that the vacuolation rate would be critical for cell degeneration. Surprisingly, although VacA was itself inhibited by DEPC, its uptake was markedly increased by this agent, similar to that found in cells with Nabutyrate. These data indicate that the cell's tolerance of VacA transport may be critical for vacuolar degeneration and may be changeable during H. pylori inhabitation.
