  • The spontaneous mutant circling mouse (cir/cir) shows a circling behavior and hearing loss. We produced transgenic mice overexpressing transmembrane inner ear (tmie) gene, the causative gene, for the phenotypic rescue of the circling mouse. Through the continuous breeding with circling mice, the cir/cir homozygous mice carrying the transgene (cir/cir-tg) were produced. The rescued cir/cir-tg mice were able to swim in the water with proper orientation and did not show any circling behavior like wild type mice. Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis exhibited that the transgenic tmie was expressed in the inner ear. Inner and outer hair cells were recovered in the cochlea and spiral ganglion neurons were also recovered in the rescued mice. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) test demonstrated that the cir/cir-tg mice are able to respond to sound. This study demonstrates that tmie transgene can recover the hearing impairment and abnormal behavior in the circling mouse.

  • Circling mice were recorded to display profound deafness and a head-tossing and bidirectional circling behavior, showing an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. In addition, the histological examination of inner ears revealed that the region around organ of Corti, spiral ganglion neurons and outer hair cells showed definite abnormality. On the other hand, a genetic linkage map was constructed in an intraspecific backcross between cir and C57BL/6J mice. The cir gene was mapped to a region between D9Mitl16/D9Mit15 and D9Mit38 on the mouse chromosome 9. Estimated distances between cir and D9Mitl16, and between cir and D9Mit38 are 0.70 $\pm$ 0.40 and 0.23 $\pm$ 0.23 cM, respectively. The markers in order was defined as follows: centromere-D9Mit182- D9Mit51/ D9Mit79/ D9Mit310- D9Mit212/ D9Mit184- D9Mit116/ D9Mit15- cir- D9Mit38- D9Mit20- D9Mit243- D9Mit16- D9Mit55/ D9Mit125- D9Mit281 Based on genetic mapping, we constructed for a YAC contig across cir region. They covered the entire region or cir and cir gene was located on between the lactotransferrin (ltf) and the macrotubule-associated protein (map4). It is known that sr gene is localized in 64cM of mouse chromosome 9. The two mouse were found to be allelic by complementation test. Recently the spinner mouse has been mapped to our cir region, and tmie gene were elucidated. And further study will be needed in circling mouse to prove tmie gene mutaiton.

  • Circling (cir) mouse is a spontaneous mutant in the inner ear that was first reported in Korea. The mutation is transmitted by an autosomal recessive gene with 100 %- penetrance.. Homozygous mice are characterized by head-tossing, bi-directional circling behavior and deafness. Histologicalexamination of the inner ear reveals abnormalities of the region around the organ of Corti, spiral ganglion neurons, and outer hair cells. (omitted)

  • The present trend is to classify time as a human resource. Time is considered as a human resource and refers not only to "clock time" that man possesses in equal amounts, but also to person's characteristic methods of assimilating and perceiving the passage of time. People differ in their ability to gauge the passage of time or to estimate the amount of time that an activity will take. The time used for household work by homemaker was analysed in that viewpoint. Specially the aim of this study was to find and analyse any differences from the style of house, the kind of fuel for cooking, the system of the family, the age and educated degree of homemaker and income degree. For analysis useable responses of 247 returned were used. The conclusion is as follows. 1. Homemakers spent 11.8∼13.4 hours for household work for a day. 2. Husband contributed 1∼1.4 hours, daughters and sons 0.6∼2.4 hours for household work a day. 3. There were large differences of the time spent on all food activities and care of clothes by the style of house and kitchen and the kind of fuel for coking. 4. The homemaker who has many children and preschool children spent much time for preparing the meal and care of clothes than others. 5. High educated homemaker spent less time for household work than others. 6. There are not any differences between time spent and income. 7. There are not also differences between time spent and having household equipment. It is assumed that many household equipment in the house aren't used effectively.

  • 최근 1인 가구 수의 급증으로 인해 셀프 인테리어에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 인테리어 중에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 것은 가구 배치이다. 그런데 간혹 적정한 위치에, 공간을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 위치에 가구를 배치하기 위해 전문가의 도움이 필요한 때가 있다는 것이 셀프 인테리어의 단점이다. 이런 상황에서 사람들은 개인 SNS를 통해 인테리어에 대한 정보를 공유하거나 조언을 주고받으며, 전문가에게 직접 도움을 받기도 한다. 하지만 이러한 방법들은 2D 사진이나 영상을 통해 공간을 보기 때문에 세밀하고 정확한 조언이 어렵거나, 전문가가 직접 방문을 해야만 하는 시간적, 물리적 번거로움이 있다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 가상현실 상에서 실시간으로 가구 배치를 공유할 수 있는 애플리케이션을 제안한다. 제안하는 애플리케이션을 통해 인테리어에 관한 정보와 조언을 더 생생하고 정확하게 공유할 수 있으며, 실시간으로 공유가 되기 때문에 두 사용자의 시간과 체력의 소비가 최소한으로 줄어들 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
