Vegetation indices on the basis of optical characteristics of vegetation can represent various conditions such as canopy biomass and physiological activity. Those have been mostly developed with the large-scaled applications of multi-band optical sensors on-board satellites. However, the sensitivity of vegetation indices for detecting vegetation features will be different depending on the spatial scales. Therefore, in this study, the investigation of photochemical reflectance index (PRI), known as one of useful vegetation indices for detecting photosynthetic ability and vegetation stress, under the three spatial scales was conducted using multi-spectral camera installed in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),field spectrometer, and leaf reflectometer. In the leaf scale, diurnal PRI had minimum values at different local-time according to the compass direction of leaf face. It meant that each leaf in some moment had the different degree of light use efficiency (LUE). In early growth stage of crop, $PRI_{leaf}$ was higher than $PRI_{stands}$ and $PRI_{canopy}$ because the leaf scale is completely not governed by the vegetation cover fraction.In the stands and canopy scales, PRI showed a large spatial variability unlike normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). However, the bias for the relationship between $PRI_{stands}$ and $PRI_{canopy}$ is lower than that in $NDVI_{stands}$ and $NDVI_{canopy}$. Our results will help to understand and utilize PRIs observed at different spatial scales.

In Arctic and Antarctic ocean, remote sensing is the most effective observation for environmental changes due to the inaccessibility of the regions. Even though satellite, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehical) are well known remote sensing platforms, and research vessel also used for automatic measurement on the regions, varied environment of Polar regions require time series and wide coverage of data. Especially, in high latitude, apply an optical satellite remote sensing is not easy due to low sun altitude. In this paper, we introduce an operation of hyper-spectrometer (HyperSAS/Satlantic inc.) which is mounted on Ice Breaker Research Vessel ARAON of Korea Polar Research Institute since 2010, to acquire an above water reflectance atomatically through every research cruise on Arctic and Antarctic ocean and transit both regions. In addition to, auxiliary data for the remotely acquired data, in situ water sampling were also obtained. The above water reflectance and in situ water sampling data are continuously acquired since 2010 will contribute to improve an Ocean Color algorithm in the high latitude and help to understand ocean reflectances over from high latitude through low latitude. Preliminary result from above water reflectance showed characteristics of Arctic ocean and Antarctic Ocean and used to develop algorithms for estimating various ocean factors such as chlorophyll and suspended sediment.

달의 지형 중 계곡과 같아 보이는 곳을 Rima 또는 Rille 지형이라고 부르며 국제천문연맹(IAU : nternational Astronomical Union)과 미국지질조사국(USGS : United States Geological Survey)에서 관리하는 행성 지명 사전(Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature)에 명명된 달의 Rima 지역은 111개에 이른다. 그 중 Rima Hadley 지역은 아폴로 15호가 착륙한 지점으로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 2008년에 발사된 Chandrayaan-1 위성의 적외선 초분광 영상 탑재체인 Moon Mineralogy Mapper(M3) 데이터를 통해 Rima Hadley 지역의 분광학적 특성을 살펴보았다. M3 데이터는 감람석(olivine)이 풍부한 지역에서는 1 um 를 중심으로 흡수선이 나타남을 보이며, (Peter J. Isaacson et al., 2011) 2.8 um 중심의 흡수선을 통해 달의 OH(hydroxyl) 분포에 대해 설명한다. (Carle M. Piters et al., 2009, Georgiana Y. Kramer et al., 2011) 본 연구에서는 Rima Hadley 지역이 1 um 파장 근처에서 강한 흡수선을 가지는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 감람석이 풍부한 지역임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이처럼 감람석이 풍부한 곳은 현무암 지역으로 과거 용암이 분출되어진 곳으로 추측 해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구를 발전시킨다면 Rima Hadley 지역의 생성과 다른 Rima 지형의 형성 과정에 대해 더욱 많은 정보를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Defects exist underneath the fruit skin are not easily discernable by using conventional color imaging technique in the visible wavelength ranges. Development of sensitive detection methods for the defects is necessary to ensure accurate quality sorting of fruits. Hyperspectral imaging techniques, which combine the features of image and spectroscopy to acquire spatial and spectral information simultaneously, have demonstrated good potentials for identifying and detecting anomalies on biological substances. In this study, a high spatial resolution hyperspectral reflectance technique was presented as a tool for detecting bruises on apple. The two-band ratio (494 nm / 952 nm) and simple threshold methods were applied to investigate the feasibility of discriminating the bruises from sound tissue of apple. The pixel wise accuracy of the discrimination was 74%. The resultant images processed with selected wavebands and morphologic algorithm distinctively showed the early stages of bruises on apple which were not discernable by naked eyes as well as a conventional color camera. Results demonstrated good potential of the hyperspectral reflectance imaging for detection of bruises on apple.

A crude crystal of phytoecdysone was obtained 355 mg per Kg dry radix of A. japonica, and it was identified to $\beta$-ecdysone by TLC. Feeding silkworms on mulberry leaves sprayed with the extract, mounting time shortened and pupation ratio improved. The feeding effects of the extract was differed according to the rearing seasons, spring and summer. In spring season, only mounting time shortened without any difference in pupation ratio from the control. In summer season, not only mounting time shortened, but also pupation ratio remarkably advanced.

In Korea, the guideline for the bridge safety inspection requests to assess surface degradation, including crack, efflorescence, spalling, and so on, for the rating of concrete bridges. Currently, the assessment of efflorescence is performed based on the visual inspection of expertized engineers, which may result in subjective inspection result. In this study, a novel method using a hyperspectral camera is proposed for objective and accurate assessment of concrete efflorescence. The hyperspectral camera acquires the light intensity for a number of continuous spectral bands of light for each pixel in an image, which makes the hyperspectral imaging technique provides more detailed information than a color camera that collects intensity for only three bands corresponding to RGB (red, green, and blue) colors. A stepwise assessment algorithm is proposed based on the spectral features to decompose efflorescence area from the inspected concrete area. The algorithm is tested in the laboratory test using two concrete specimens, one of which is dark colored with efflorescence on a surface while the other is bright concrete without efflorescence. The test shows high accuracy and applicability of the proposed efflorescence assessment using a hyperspectral camera.

Recently, a novel coating method using an aqueous doapmine solution was proposed, the deposited coating was found to have extraordinarily strong-adhesion to numerous materials such as metal and polymers. However, it has suffered from many controversy in scientific fields due to its final structure and deposited mechanisms. Here, we have proposed a new structure for final dopamine product coupling with solid state spectroscopic, thermal behavior, and gas transport behaviors of dopamine coated microporous polyethersulfone membranes. In its final analysis, the results represented that it is a supramolecular aggregated of monomers consisting of 5,6-dihydroxyindoline and its derivative in contrast to previously proposed polymeric structure.

Conventional drug carriers such as liposomes, nanoparticles, polymer micelles, polymeric conjugate and lipid microemulsion for cancer chemotherapy shield normal tissues from toxic drugs to treat cancer cells in tumors. However, inaccurate tumor targeting uncontrolled drug release from the carriers and unwanted accumulation in healthy sites can limit treatment efficacy with current conventional drug carriers with insufficient concentrations of drugs in the tumors and unexpected side effects as a result. In this research, we examined the use of sickle red blood cells as a new drug carrier with novel tumor targeting and controlled release properties. Sickle red blood cells show natural tumor preferential accumulation without any manipulation and controlled drug release is possible using a hemolysis method with photosensitizers.
