To perceive fluctuations in light quality, quantity, and timing, higher plants have evolved diverse photoreceptors including UVR8 (a UV-B photoreceptor), cryptochromes, phototropins, and phytochromes (Phys). In contrast to plants, prokaryotic oxygen-evolving photosynthetic organisms, cyanobacteria, rely mostly on bilin-based photoreceptors, namely, cyanobacterial phytochromes (Cphs) and cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs), which exhibit structural and functional differences compared with plant Phys. CBCRs comprise varying numbers of light sensing domains with diverse color-tuning mechanisms and signal transmission pathways, allowing cyanobacteria to respond to UV-A, visible, and far-red lights. Recent genomic surveys of filamentous cyanobacteria revealed novel CBCRs with broader chromophore-binding specificity and photocycle protochromicity. Furthermore, a novel Cph lineage has been identified that absorbs blue-violet/yellow-orange light. In this minireview, we briefly discuss the diversity in color sensing and signal transmission mechanisms of Cphs and CBCRs, along with their potential utility in the field of optogenetics.

Using tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses, we produce an optical waveguide and optical devices in transparent materials. This technique has the potential to generate not only channel waveguides, but also three-dimensional optical devices. In this paper, an optical splitter and U-grooves, which are used for fiber alignment, are simultaneously fabricated in a fused silica glass using near-IR femtosecond laser pulses. The fiber aligned optical splitter has a low insertion loss, less than 4㏈, including an intrinsic splitting loss of 3㏈ and excess loss due to the passive alignment of a single-mode fiber. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the femtosecond laser writing technique by fabricating gratings at the surface and inside the silica glass.

The colorimetric and fluorescent cyanide recognition properties of 2-[(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene]-propanedinitrile (1) in $CH_3CN-H_2O$ (2/1, v/v, HEPES 10 mM, pH = 7.0) solution were evaluated. The optical recognition process of probe 1 exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity to cyanide ion with the detection limit of $2.04{\times}10^{-6}$ M and barely interfered by other coexisting anions. The sensing mechanism of probe 1 is speculated to undergo a nucleophilic addition of cyanide to dicyanovinyl group present in compound 1. The colorimetric and fluorescent dual-modal response to cyanide makes probe 1 has a potential utility in cyanide detection.

The potential utility of injection media (sucrose, PEG, and liposome) was demonstrated for direct gene transfer into olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) muscles. Based on the use of sucrose (final cone. 20%), PEG 8,000 (final cone. 10%) or liposome (twice us of DNA injected), the present injection strategy significantly improved the level of transgene expression as well as persistent duration of expression. The increased amounts of expression in DNA injection with sucrose, PEG, and liposome were as high as from 2.1 to 4.9-folds of conventional TE-based DNA injection. The best result was obtained from injections of liposome-encapsulated DNA in which the expression was detectable at least 32 days after injection when compared to only 8-16 days from TE-based injections.

For the purpose of assessing the utility and cautionary aspects of pulse oximetry of which use is rapidly increased, it was applied to the maladaptive child patients with sedative drugs and evaluated the results. When pulse oximeter was used alone for vital sign monitoring, it was thought impossible to exclude the false alarm or false silence by various causes. To minimize or remove these misunderstanding, operators should have a extensive knowledge not only on the factors affecting the operation of this apparatus but also on the potential of misoperation. To review the present status of increasing risk of hypoxia during the sedation, it was thought unreasonable to solely depend upon this apparatus for vital sign monitoring. By combining with more accurate and auxiliary monitoring devices, pulse oximetry will be of greater value and can meet the clinical needs and conveniences.

As power demand increases gradually, the call for underground transmission system increases. But it is very difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cables in metropolitan areas. HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cable has the several useful characteristics such as increased power density. Therefore HTS cable can allow more power to be moved in existing ducts, which means very large economical and environmental benefits. In this paper, we carried out investigation for Application of 22kV class HTS cable in Korean utility networks. The results show that the HTS cable is applicable to replace IPB in pumping-up power plant, withdrawal line in distributed generation, withdrawal line in complex power plant, and conventional under ground cable. Finally, as the cost of HTS wire and refrigeration drops, the technical and economical potential of HTS cable is evaluated positively.

For the economical and reasonable operation of electric power system according to continual increase of electric power demand and decrease of load factor, the potential application of superconducting magnertic energy storage [SMES] with high efficiency and fast response in the electric utility is receiving attractive attension. In the light of this background, to confirm the basic principle of SMES, theoretical study, design technique and fabrication procedure for superconducting coil, current lead, cryostat, measuring and protection system of SMES are described in detail. Especially, a new design technique for superconducting coil and current lead is porposed and it was proved experimentally by the performance test of SMES which is developed for the first time in our country. At the peak operating current 200A, the maximum magnetic field amd stored energy of the coil are 3.52T and 2500J, espectively. The thermal and mechanical stability of 2500J SMES is also confirmed experimetally by its characteristics test, AC loss, protection system, charge and discharge test. The experimetal results show good characteristics of energy storage system.

This paper describes an overview and research work related to web page segmentation. Over a period of time, various techniques have been used and proposed to extract meaningful information from web pages automatically. Due to voluminous amount of data this extraction demanded state of the art techniques that segment the web pages just like or close to humans. Motivation behind this is to facilitate applications that rely on the meaningful data acquired from multiple web pages. Information extraction, search engines, re-organized web display for small screen devices are few strong candidate areas where web page extraction has adequate potential and utility of usage.

Recently, the energy situation in Korea has been significantly changed. Rapid increase in electricity demand, tremendous financial need for new power plant construction, and environmental problem have led to search for more efficient energy production and energy conservation technologies. Due to the potential energy and cost savings to both electric utilities and industries, cogeneration will play an important role in the electric power and thermal energy supply in the future. In this study, we present the COGENMASTER computer model for optimal system configuration and economic analysis of cogeneration system. We also present several case studies with this module to analyze Korean cogeneration market. The result of this study will be useful to utility and industrial cogeneration planners for rapid analysis of cogeneration's value under a broad range of scenarios.
