The monthly variability in marine algal flora and community structure was examined in the intertidal zones of Doripo, and the biomass of an edible alga, Ulva prolifera, at Gaip-ri of Hampyong Bay on the southwestern coast of Korea was investigated over one year from April 2008 to March 2009. A total of 22 seaweeds were identified including five green, four brown, and 13 red algae. Based on importance value, Ulva australis was dominant over the year and the subdominant species were Ulva linza and Caulacanthus ustulatus at the Doripo coast of Hampyong Bay. The vertical distribution in terms of importance values was in the order of Ulva linza - C. ustulatus - U. australis - Sargassum thunbergii from the upper to the lower intertidal zones. The biomass of U. prolifera ranged between 2.4-98.2 g dry wt. m^-2, with a maximum in June and a minimal in November. In the field, U. prolifera biomass could be positively related to seawater temperature. However, further research on the association between biomass and other environmental factors such as nutrients and light intensity is required.

The MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay is commonly used for analyzing the cell viability. In this study, effects of various solvents, different lights, and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) on the chemical behavior of MTT formazan were investigated. The color response of MTT formazan in NaOH was highly pronounced; the absorbance of MTT formazan in 0.1 N NaOH at 550 nm was >2-fold higher than that in water, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol, and ethanol. MTT formazan in DMSO and NaOH (>0.1 N) was relatively stable under fluorescent and UV light at 365 nm; its rapid degradation was induced under UV light at 254 nm in all solvents. ZnPP degraded MTT formazan under light in a time- and concentration-dependent manner; MTT formazan in 0.1 N NaOH was the most sensitive to ZnPP, followed by DMSO. These results suggest that NaOH and DMSO might be suitable media for MTT formazan for monitoring photosensitizing properties.

To develop the use of natural pigment for food, anthocyanins were isolated from grape peels which were wasted much in korea, and their characteristics were as fellows. pH has a marked influences on the color of the grape peels anthocyanin solution(GPAS). At low pH the color of GPAS was more stable than high pH. With increasing pH the color gradually fades as colorless pseudobases are formed. It showed characteristic bathnochromic shift as the solution increased. Among the sugars tested, glucose showed the most protective effect on the color of GPAS to raise the color stability, while fructose showed an adverse effect. Orgarnic acid such as citric acid prevented the degradation of anthocyanin, but ascorbic acid lowered stability of color considerably. The effect of light on GPAS was found to be very deleterious. The pigment degradation can be minimized by shielding the light from the pigment solution.

Spontaneous blinking as a function of visual activity and environmental condition with 60 healthy Korean young people(M=30, F=30) was estimated. Spontaneous blink rate of male and female was $19.2{\pm}2.0/min$ and $18.7{\pm}2.0/min$, respectively. There was no significant difference of blink rate in both contact lens wearer and non-wearer of female and also by various visual activity between female and male. Spontaneous blink rate was changed in response to changes in levels of visual activity and environmental condition such as windiness, rut not changed by light. In the more intense fixation spontaneous blink rate was lesser, but in the stronger windiness, the rate was higher than that in normal.

We have demonstrated a low speed weigh-in motion system using FBG sensors and performed field test at a trial road. Technique, called identical chirped grating interrogation, have used for a demodulation relying on the mismatching of two identical broadband chirped gratings. We compensated the fluctuation of LED power and the temperature of sensor and used a lock-in amplifier to reduce effect of noise. We could design a bending plate that the measurement results are independent of position of weight. The FBG sensors weigh-in motion system showed linearity and reproducibility.

An effective method to render realistic metallic surface in realtime application is proposed. The proposed method perturbs the normal vectors on the metallic surface to represent small scratches. In general, bump map or normal map method is used to gnerate normal vector perturbation. However, those methods do not show plausible light scattering when applied to anisotropic reflection surface. In order to express metallic surface reflectance, MDF-based BRDF is generally employed. Therefore, the simple normal perturbation does not produce satisfactory metal rendering results. The proposed method employs not only normal perturbation but also deformation of the microfacet distribution function(MDF) that determines the reflectance properties on the surface. The MDF deformation increases the realism of metal rendering. The proposed method can be easily implemented with GPU programs, and works well in realtime environments.

We examined the effect of low temperature heat-treatment on the optical properties of the photonic crystals self-assembled using a monodispersed spherical $SiO_2$ nanoparticle. When the heat treatment temperature increased, the reflectance peak, which is induced by the photonic band gap, moved to a shorter wavelength direction, and the peak intensity of Fabry-Perot fringes also increased. The highest reflectance peak intensity was obtained in the sample heat-treated at $250\~300^{\circ}C$. The heat-treatment reduced the average particle size and the quantity of defects, and increased the packing density of the photonic crystal.

본 논문에서는 새로운 HAC(Histogram Area Calculation)방법과 영상의 객체분할 방법을 소개한다. 히스토그램을 이용한 영상은 색상 공간의 특징 때문에 조명에 매우 민감하여 빛의 강도에 따라 유사성이 저하되는 경우가 있다. 또한 공간적 정보를 가지고 있지 않아, 전혀 다른 모양의 영상일지라도 칼라 분포가 같은 영상으로 볼 수 있다. 이 논문에서 제안한 방법은 히스토그램 영역을 임의의 영역으로 나눠, 영역들의 유사성을 매칭(matching) 시킨다. 2차 검색방법으로 원 영상에서의 색상 질감 정보가 동일한 영역을 군집화 하여, 영상 분할된 객체들을 이용하여 검색하는 방법이다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법이 전통적인 히스토그램 방법보다 검색 성능이 효율적인 결과를 얻었다.

Mechanical energy is accumulated in the object when stress is exerted on rock specimens, and the failure is occurred when the stress is larger than critical stress. The accumulated energy is emitted as various forms including physical deformation, light, heat and sound. Uniaxial compression strength test and point load strength test were carried out in low temperature environment, and thermal variation of rock specimens were observed and analyzed quantitatively using thermal infrared camera images. Temperature of failure plane was increased just before the failure because of concentration of stress, and was rapidly increased at the moment of the failure because of the emission of thermal energy. The variations of temperature were larger in diorite and basalt specimens which were strong and fresh than in tuff specimens which were weak and weathered. This study can be applied to prevent disasters in rock slope, tunnel and mine in cold regions and to analyze satellite image for predicting earthquake in cold regions.
