The Development of CCD has contributed to great advancement in mapping technology with giving benefits to research community of photogrammetry. The purpose of this paper is to find the best selection of interpolation method for creating a terrain model form close range digital photogrammetry. T-test as a kind of statistical analysis was conducted to analyze the similarity of hydraulic model with close range digital photogrammetry and trigonometric leveling. Also, many interpolation methods such as inverse distance, kriging, nearest neighbor and TIN about the hydraulic model interpolation were conducted to compare the results for computer to display actual terrain an optimum interpolation of the digital elevation model form close range digital photogrammetry. The results revealed that kriging and TIN interpolation were efficient methods to judge the hazard interpolation law by analyzing geometric similarity of hydraulic model against hydraulic model application.

Map generalization functions to visualize the spatial data or to change their scale by changing the level of details of data. Until recently, the studies on map generalization have concentrated more on line features than on point features. However, point features are one of the essential components of digital maps and cannnot be ignored because of the great amount of information they carry. This study, therefore, aimed to find out a detailed procedure of point features' generalization. Particularly, this work chose the distribution pattern of point features as the most important factor in the point generalization in investigating the geometric characteristics of source data. First, it attempted to find out the characteristics of distribution pattern of point features through quadrat analysis with Grieg-Smith method and nearest-neighbour analysis. It then generalized point features through the generalization threshold which did not alter the characteristics of distribution pattern and the removal of redudant point feautres. Therefore, the generalization procedure of point features provided by this work maintained the geometric characteristics as much as possible.

High utility itemset(HUI) mining refers to the discovery of itemsets with high utilities which are not less than a user-specified minimum utility threshold, by considering both the quantities and weight factors of items in a transaction database. Recently the utility-list based HUI mining algorithms have been proposed to avoid numerous candidate itemsets and the algorithms need the costly join operations. In this paper, we propose a new HUI mining algorithm, using the utility-list with additional attributes of transaction utility and common utility of itemsets. The new algorithm decreases the number of join operations and efficiently prunes the search space. Experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other recent algorithms in runtime, especially when datasets are dense or contain many long transactions.

Calmodulin (CaM) mediates cellular Ca²⁺ signals in the defense responses of plants. We previously reported that GmCaM-4 and 5 are involved in salicylic acid-independent activation of disease resistance responses in soybean (Glycine max). Here, we generated a GmCaM-4 cDNA construct under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and transformed this construct into potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The constitutive over-expression of GmCaM-4 in potato induced high-level expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, such as PR-2, PR-3, PR-5, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and proteinase inhibitorII (pinII). In addition, the transgenic potato plants exhibited enhanced resistance against a bacterial pathogen, Erwinia carotovora ssp. Carotovora (ECC), that causes soft rot disease and showed spontaneous lesion phenotypes on their leaves. These results strongly suggest that a CaM protein in soybean, GmCaM-4, plays an important role in the response of potato plants to pathogen defense signaling.

Citrullinemia type 2 (citrin deficiency) is an autosomal recessive inborn error metabolism, caused by the SLC25A13 gene mutation. Citrin deficiency is associated with two clinical phenotype; neonatal-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2), also known as neonatal intraphepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) and adult-onset CTLN2. Clinical manifestations of NICCD include poor growth, intrahepatic cholestasis, liver dysfunction and increased plasma citrulline, methionine, threonine, arginine. The molecular diagnosis could be confirmed by SLC25A13 gene mutation analysis. A 3-month-old male infant with persistent jaundice was referred for evaluation. Newborn screening was normal at birth. Mild elevation of serum ammonia and AST/ALT were observed. Plasma amino acid analysis showed significantly elevated citrulline, methionine, threonine. DNA sequence analysis of the SLC25A13 gene revealed two compound heterozygous mutations, c.[852_855del]($p.Met285Profs^*2$) and [1180+1G>A]. We suggest that NICCD should be considered as one of the cause of in infants with cholestatic jaundice, although the newborn screening was normal.

By this time, insect antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been characterized more than 150 peptides since purification of cecropin in the hemolymph of pupae from Hyalophora cecropia in 1980. Therefore, it is considered that insects are good sources of AMP selection. Insect AMPs are small (low molecular weight) and cationic, and amphipathic with variable length, sequence, and structure. They perform a pivotal role on humoral immunity in the insect innate immune system against invading pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Most of the insect AMPs are induced rapidly in the fat bodies and other specific tissues of insects after septic injury or immune challenge. Then the AMPs subsequently released into the hemolymph to act against microorganisms. These peptides have a broad antimicrobial spectrum against various microbes including anticancer activities. Insect AMPs could be divided into four families based on their structures and sequences. That is the α-helical peptides, cysteine-rich peptides, proline-rich peptides, and glycine-rich peptides/proteins. For instance, cecropins, insect defensins, proline-rich peptides, and attacins are common insect AMPs, but gloverins and moricins have been identified only in lepidopteran species. This review focuses on AMPs from insects and discusses current knowledge and recent progress with potential applications of insect AMPs.

Current acceptable methods For promotin gperiodontal regeneration are base on removal of diseased soft tissue, root treatment, guided tissue regeneration, inteoduction of new graft materials and biological mediators. Platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) is one of polypeptide growth factor. PDGF has been reported as a biological mediator which regulates activities of wound healing process including the cell proliferation, migration and metabolism. The purposes of this study is to evaluate the effects of PDGF-AA, BB on the periodontal ligament cells to use as a regeneration promoting agent of periodontal tissue. Human periodontal ligament cells were prepared from the first premolar tooth extracted for the orthodontic treatment and were cultured in DMEM/10% FBS at the $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. Author measured the DNA synthesis, total protein, collagen and noncollagenous protein synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity according to the concentration of PDGF-AA and BB(0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100ng/ml). The results were as follows : The DNA synthetic activity was increased dose dependently by PDGF-AA and BB. The maximum mitogenic effect was at the 100ng/ml of PDGF-AA and 10ng/ml of PDGF-BB. The total protein, collagen and noncollagen systhesis was increased dose dependently by PDGF-AA and BB. The % of collagen was slightly decresed according to the concentration of PDGF-AA and BB. The effect of PDGF-AA and BB were not specific for collagen synthesis since it also increased noncollagenous protein synthesis. The effect of PDGF-AA and BB on alkaline phosphatase activity did not show any significant, meanwhile the alkaline phosphatase activity of 14 days group showed significnat increase. In conclusion, PDGF-AA and BB may have important roles in stimulation of DNA synthesis in human periodontal ligament cells, which means an increase in collagen-synthesizing cells, and may be useful for clinical application in periodontal regenerative procedures.

우리나라 쌀 생산량은 해마다 증가되고 있으나, 1인당 쌀 소비량은 급격히 감소되고 있는 수급 불균형을 이루고 있다. 특히 충청남도는 최근 6년간 전국 쌀 생산량 1위를 차지해 오고 있어서 쌀 소비의 확대방안이 더욱 절실히 요구되고 있는 지역적 특성을 지니고 있다. 취반용 쌀 소비량 확대만으로는 쌀 소비량 증대에 한계점이 있으므로, 소비자의 요구에 맞는 고 기능성, 간편식으로 다양한 기호성을 지닌 쌀 가공식품 형태의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 요구에 적합한 제품개발로 쌀을 이용한 쌀국수를 개발하고자 하였으며, 이러한 쌀국수 제품개발은 쌀을 이용한 제품개발은 또다른 시도가 되어 쌀 소비촉진이 향상될 것으로 기대된다. 기능성 쌀국수 개발을 위하여 천연물 중 연잎 소재를 첨가하였다. 연잎은 차와 사찰음식을 대표하는 소재중 하나이다. 연잎에는 비타민 C와 섬유소가 매우 풍부하다. 이러한 성분은 미용식품으로써의 응용이 가능하며, 식이 섬유소는 배변작용에도 도움이 될 수 있다. 또한 항산화제인 quercetin이 다량 함유되어 있다. 이 quercetin은 플라보이드 배당체이며, 우리 몸의 세포의 노화를 유발하는 유해 활성 산소를 제거하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이러한 유해 활성산소를 억제하는 것이 항산화 활성이 높은 연잎을 이용하여 고 기능성 쌀가공품 제품 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대한다. 쌀가루 50%를 기준으로하여 연잎가루는 3% 첨가하였으며, 전분의 종류를 달리하여 최종 제품을 개발한 결과, texture analyser로 물성을 측정한 결과 타피오카 전분과 쌀가루 혼한 쌀국수의 물성이 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 관능검사 결과도 타피오카 전분과 쌀가루 혼합 쌀국수가 소비자들의 기호도가 높은 선호도를 나타내었고, 감자전분과 밀가루는 다소 낮은 선호도를 나타내었다. 본 연구를 기초로 하여 쌀제품 개발시 쌀의 가공적성 및 기능성 소재의 첨가 비율 확립하고, 연잎과 같은 쌀국수에 첨가 가능한 다양한 기능성 소재 발굴 및 첨가 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다.
