Inactivation of the glutamic acid dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme-molecules in the Ehrlich ascites tumor cells of the mouse were studied. The above mentioned intracellular enzymemolecules were irradiated by the X-ray radiation under the condition of 65 kV, I Amp. under the atmosphere of nitrogen gases and by $4^{\circ}C$. Thereby, irradiation doses were 580 KR/min($error:{\pm}3%$). After irradiation, the cell homogentes were prepared through liquid air techniquese. There after, the activities of the enzymes were measured with photometric method given by O. Warburg and W. Christian. The dose effect curves of the activities of the two enzymes by the X-ray irradiation showed both exponential and the inactivation doses were $6,5.10^{0}\;and\;5,0.10^{6}$ R respectively. These results showed one side that the inactivation process of the intracelluar enzymemolecules was one hit reaction after target theory, and the other side that this inactivation process could not be the primary causes of the death through X-ray irradiation of the vertebrate animals, because of the high resistance of the intracellular protein molecules against X-ray irradiation. The one hit reaction by the inactivation process of the irradiated intracellular enzymemolecules was discussed.

We present newly discovered dwarf galaxy candidates in deep and wide-field images of NGC 1291 obtained with KMTNet. Through a visual inspection, we find ~ 13 candidates, for which central surface brightness ranges from ${\mu}_{0,R}{\sim}22.5$ to $26.5mag\;arcsec^{-1}$. Adopting the distance to NGC 1291, the candidate dwarfs are brighter than $M_R=-12.5mag$ and their effective radii range from 350 pc to 1.4 kpc. Structural and photometric properties of dwarf candidates near NGC 1291 appears to be consistent with those of ordinary dwarf galaxies in nearby galaxies. We conduct the imaging simulation in order to find an optimal way to detect dwarf galaxies in KMTNet images and to test the completeness of our detection algorithm. We plan to apply this method to deep KMTNet images of other nearby galaxies obtained through KMTNet Nearby Galaxy Survey (KNGS).

We present newly discovered dwarf galaxy candidates in deep wide-field images of NGC 1291 obtained with KMTNet. We initially identify 20 dwarf galaxy candidates through visual inspection. 13 out of 20 appears to be high priority candidates, according to their central surface brightness (${\mu}_{0,R}{\sim}22.5$ to $26.5mag\;arcsec^{-2}$) and effective radii (350 pc to 1 kpc). Structural and photometric properties of dwarf candidates appear to be consistent with those of ordinary dwarf galaxies in nearby groups and clusters. Using imaging simulations, we demonstrate that our imaging data is complete up to $26mag\;arcsec^{-2}$ with > 70% of the completeness rate. In order to find an optimal way to automate detecting dwarf galaxies in our dataset, we test detection methods by varying parameters in SExtractor. We find that the detection efficiency from the automated method is relatively low and the contamination due to the artifacts is non-negligible. Therefore, it can be only applicable for pre-selection. We plan to conduct the same analysis for deep images of other nearby galaxies obtained through KMTNet Nearby Galaxy Survey (KNGS).

The method of study describes the determination of the nanogram amounts of mono-, di-, and tri-butyltin compounds in sea water. The procedure is based on 1) the conversion of tin compounds to non-ionic species by sodium tetraethyl borate as an alkylation reagent, 2) one-step ethylation and 3) extraction. No further purification or concentration of the extract was required before GC-FPD (Flame Photometric Detector). The detection limits for mono-, di- and tri-butyltin were 12.50, 6.02, and 4.19 ng/L. The linear range (0-120 ng/L) was solely dependent on the detector response height. Sea water samples (n=24) were obtained from Masan Bay, Busan, Ullsan, Gunsan, Sockcho, Yeasu, Donghae, Inchun, Kanghwa, and Ahsan in Korea. The samples were collected between June, 1992 to July, 1992 and the distribution of monobutyltintrichloride (MBTC), dibutyltindichloride (DBTC), and tributyltinchloride (TBTC) in sea water was recorded. The concentrations of butyltin compounds in seawater were found to be in the range of N.D. (not detected)-61.93 ng/L for MBTC, N.D.-32.16 ng/L for DBTC, and N.D.-55.76 ng/L for TBTC.

Unsupervised deep learning methods have shown impressive results for the challenging monocular depth estimation task, a field of study that has gained attention in recent years. A common approach for this task is to train a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) via an image synthesis sub-task, where additional views are utilized during training to minimize a photometric reconstruction error. Previous unsupervised depth estimation networks are trained within a fixed depth estimation range, irrespective of its possible range for a given image, leading to suboptimal estimates. To overcome this suboptimal limitation, we first propose an unsupervised adaptive depth estimation method guided by minimum and maximum (min-max) depth priors for a given input image. The incorporation of min-max depth priors can drastically reduce the depth estimation complexity and produce depth estimates with higher accuracy. Moreover, we propose a novel network architecture for adaptive depth estimation, called the AdaMM-DepthNet, which adopts the min-max depth estimation in its front side. Intensive experimental results demonstrate that the adaptive depth estimation can significantly boost up the accuracy with a fewer number of parameters over the conventional approaches with a fixed minimum and maximum depth range.

We present newly discovered dwarf galaxy candidates in deep wide-field images of NGC 1291 obtained with KMTNet. We identify 15 dwarf galaxy candidates by visual inspection within the virial radius of NGC 1291. Using imaging simulations, we demonstrate that our imaging data is complete up to 26 mag arcsec^-2 or -10 abs.mag with > 70% of the completeness rate. We also apply automated detection method to find the dwarfs. However, the completeness and the reliability are relatively low compared to the visual inspection. We find that structural and photometric properties of dwarf candidates such as effective radius, central surface brightness, Sérsic index, and absolute magnitude appear to be consistent with those of known dwarf galaxies in nearby groups and clusters, except for color. NGC 1291, residing in a relatively isolated environment, tends to accompany bluer dwarf galaxies (≃0.58) than those in denser environment. It shows that the quenching of dwarfs is susceptible to the environment.

An indirect spectrophotometric method, presumably heretofore unmentioned, for the rapid determination of COD in the presence of chloride of high concentration is described. The alkaline sample is refluxed to react with a definite amount of permanganate, present in excess. A photometric measurement at 535 nm for the extent of the fading of the permanganate color after refluxing completes the procedure. The optimum conditions which give the absorbance-concentration plot the maximum linearity and slope in the range of 0∼5 ppm COD are as follows: reflux at $100\circC$ for 10 min in the presence of 0.15 mM permanganate and 0.2% NaOH with a sample size of 5 ml. An overall running time was less than 15 min. The t-test reveals that the proposed method is not significantly different from the official method.

It is difficult for observers to conduct an optical alignment at an observatory without the assistance of an optical engineer if optomechanical parts are to be replaced at night. We present a practical tilt correction method to obtain the optimal optical alignment condition using the symmetricity of optical aberrations of a wide-field on-axis telescope at night. We conducted coarse tilt correction by visually examining the symmetry of two representative star shapes obtained at two guide chips facing each other, such as east-west or north-south pairs. After coarse correction, we observed four sets of small stamp images using four guide cameras located at each cardinal position by changing the focus positions in 10-㎛ increments and passing through the optimum focus position in the range of ±200 ㎛. The standard deviation of each image, as a function of the focus position, was fitted with a second-order polynomial function to derive the optimal focus position at each cardinal edge. We derived the tilt angles from the slopes converted by the distance and the focus position difference between two paired guide chip combinations such as east-west and north-south. We used this method to collimate the on-axis wide-field telescope KMTNet in Chile after replacing two old focus actuators. The total optical alignment time was less than 30 min. Our method is practical and straightforward for maintaining the optical performance of wide-field telescopes such as KMTNet.

Differential time-series observations of BL Camelopardalis classified as a double mode SX Phoenicis type variable were secured with a charge coupled device. The observed photometric data was reduced using the IRAF Package and the differential magnitudes were obtained through aperture photometry. The periods of BL Cam were analyzed with the Generalized Least-Square Method by Vanicek (1971) and the Fourier Decomposition Method. It was found that the first and second period of BL Cam were 0.0391 day respectively which lead the period ratio of P1/P0=0.81. This period ratio is much different from 0.78 determined by other investigators and also much more larger than that of other double-mode SX Phe type variables. In addition, this period ratio is much different from the value expected from the relation between the metallicity and period ratio. From these results, it can be confirmed that BL Cam is the most extreme case among all double-mode SX Phe type variables.

An iterative scheme for computing the three-dimensional position and the surface orientation of an opaque object from a singel shaded image is proposed. This method demonstrates that calculating the depth(distance) between the camera and the object from one shaded video image is possible. Most previous research works on $'Shape from Shading$' problem, even in the $'Photometric Stereo Method$', invoved the determination of surface orientation only. To measure the depth of an object, depth of the object, and the reflectance properties of the surface. Assuming that the object surface is uniform Lambertian the measured intensity level at a given image pixel*x,y0becomes a function of surface orientation and depth component of the object. Derived Image Irradiance Equation can`t be solved without further informations since three unknown variables(p,q and D) are in one nonlinear equation. As an additional constraints we assume that surface satisfy smoothness conditions. Then equation can be solved relaxatively using standard methods of TEX>$'Calculus of VariationTEX>$'. After checking the sensitivity of the algorithm to the errors ininput parameters, the theoretical results is tested by experiments. Three objects (plane, cylinder, and sphere)are used. Thees initial results are very encouraging since they match the theoretical calculations within 20$\%$ error in simple experiments.> error in simple experiments.
