Foreign bodies in the esophagus is a common problem encountered in the ENT field. Small toys were the most common type of esophageal foreign body found in Korea until the government started making coins. Although 10 won coins are most commonly found, there is a tendency for an increased percentage of 100 won coins parallel with the economic development of the country. Recently, the authors experienced a very intersting case in which a 7 year-old child had a 5 won coin lodged horizontally at a level of the third esophageal constriction portion for 4 years, which eventually resulted in esophageal dilatation. A review of the literature of this subject is included.

In a manufacturing process of metal coins, surface defects of coins are manually detected. This paper describes an new method for detecting surface defects of metal coins on a moving conveyor belt using image processing. This method consists of multiple procedures: segmentation of a coin from the background, alignment of the coin to the model, projection of the aligned coin to the best eigen image space, and detection of defects by comparison of the projection error with an adaptive threshold. In these procedures, the alignement and the projection are newly developed in this paper for the detection of coin surface defects. For alignment, we use the histogram of the segmented coin, which converts two-dimensional image alignment to one-dimensional alignment. The projection reduces the intensity variation of the coin image caused by illumination and coin rotation change. For projection, we build multiple eigen image spaces and choose the best eigen space using estimated coin direction. Since each eigen space consists of a small number of eigen image vectors, we can implement the projection in real- time.

This paper deals with manufacturing conditions to increase the working die's life span which are the key factor in the manufacturing process of the coins and medals. Using the boundary element method, the stress diagram for the coining die was obtained, which was used to find the life span of working die. To iud the working die's life span related to the diameter of collar and blank coin, eight different sizes were tested and the optimal condition was obtained. With the adjusted impressing force, the working die's life span was increased up to 60 percent.

A method for evaluating bacterial chemotactic responses toward several single of combined sugars and sterile mucilage from the different rice cultivars had been tested. Bacterial genus of Azospirillum, Pseudomonas and Agrobacterium were specially identified from the histosphere of different rice cultivars and graminea grasses in saline and reclaimed saline paddy soil. To evaluate chemotaxis of these strains a modification of Fendrik channel method was used. Under this condition Azospirillum lipoferum Ecc 3-1 reacted stereoisomerically fomulating the single migration ring while Agrobacterium radiobacter Ecc 1-1 and Pseudomonas sp Ecc 4-1 did not. Strains specificities of chemotaxis to the single sugar such as D(+)-glucose and D(+)-fructose were less prominent than malic and citric acid. Chemotactic responses to the combined sugar such as D-galacturonic acid and the L-aspartate were found high attracting reaction than other combined sugars. Chemotaxis of associative $N_2$-fixing bacteria to the root exudates of different rice cultivars were differed among bacterial strains and rice cultivars.

본 논문에서는 박테리아의 주화성에 기초한 Bacteria Cooperative Optimization(BCO) 알고리즘을 소개한다. BCO는 Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)처럼 자연계에 존재하는 생명체의 행동양식을 모방하여 만든 최적화 알고리즘으로 크게 초기화, 측정, 행동결정, 이동으로 구성된다. 우리는 먼저 BCO 알고리즘을 설명하고 2차원 함수 최적화 문제를 이용하여 BCO알고리즘과 Genetic Algorithm(GA) 그리고 Bacterial Foraging for Distributed Optimization(BFO)의 성능 측정 결과를 기술한다. 실험 결과 BCO의 성능이 GA나 BFO보다 우수함을 보였다.

Recently, several research groups have been investigating the motion of flagellated bacteria, with the aim of examining the feasibility of using bacterial chemotaxis as an efficient power source for microactuators. In this study, microparticle-tracking velocimetry ($\mu$-PTV) is used for investigating the motion of fluorescent microbeads propelled by bacterial chemotaxis. Flagellated bacteria, Serratia marcescens, are spontaneously attached to the surface of the fluorescent polystyrene (PS) microbeads in an aqueous culture. The microbeads thus treated are injected into the test medium, which contains the solidified chemoattractant L-aspartate. With time, the particles slowly move toward the zone in which the L-aspartate concentration is high. This study shows that chemotaxis of flagellated bacteria can be applied as an efficient power source for microactuators.
