In order to observe the protein composltlOns of soluble extracts of P. westermani, and their changes during early developmental stages, the crude saline extracts of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 week-old worms which were harvested from experimentally infected dogs were analysed by disc-PAGE. The results were as follows: 1. A total of 15 bands were identified from electrophoregrams of respective developmental stages. Of them, 5 bands were recognized throughout the developmental stages. 2. The number and protein amount of identified bands changed according to the worm development from 4 weeks to 12 weeks. However, tLe bar::ding patterns of 4 and 6 week-old worms and 8 and 10 week-old worms were similar each other. 3. Of 15 identified bands, Band 1 was recognized only in 12 week-old worms whereas Bands 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 15 gradually lowered their amount according to dcvelor:ment to disappear in 12 week-old. In addition, Band 5 became a major band in 12 week-old while Band 6 turned to a minor band at the same age. The possible relations of changing patterns of protein bands with worm development were discussed.

With a view to grasping how media commercialization is understood and discussed in the media-related academic community, this study compares and reviews other researches on the commercialization process of Korean press. Full-fledged studies have been rarely performed on the history of commercialization, but similar or related studies have been conducted intermittently: One is the commercialization theory in 1933 and the other is the commercialization theory in the late 1960s. Both of them decided Korean press had been commercialized as a strategical option in the midst of political pressure. It gives a clue leading us to understanding on why Korean press shows partisanship which is pointed as one of social maladies. Korean press acquires less economic benefits if they play in the market than if political parties they support or share the same political interest take power, so they are a commercial press as well as a partially partisan press. In this context, commercialization of Korean press is still underway, and genuine commercialization hitting the balance with politicization may have yet to begin.

An in uipo culturing to examine the cyst stage of ToxopLQsma gondii (ME49 strain) was Investigated using murine peritoneal macrophages, and we also examined the effect of CAMP or DHFR Inhibitors on the growth of bradyzoltes. For experiments ICR mice were Injected 1.p. with 1,500 brain cysts. At 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, peritoneal exudates were Isolated and then adherent peritoneal macrophages were cultured for 1,3,5 and 10 days. Growth pattern of bradyzoltes was measured by (3H)-uracil uptake assay and morphological pattern of pseudocysts formed in macrophages was observed Uth Glemsa stain. Mostly bradyzoites were observed In the macrophages extracted at 3 and S days post Infection. After 3 days in vitro, a number of pseudocysts were formed in the macrophages and the size of pseudocysts was increased during further 5 and 10 days in vitro culture. CAMP stimulated the growth of bradyzoltes when in uiuo 3 and 5 days and then in vitro 5 and 10 days conditions were applied. In case of.DHFR Inhibitors, pynmethamlne produced a linearly decremental effect with a cont.-dependent mode but methotrexate was not effective against Intracellular bradyzoltes or pseudocysts In this system. It was suggested that cyst-forming strain of T gondii (ME49 strain) could be maintained and cultivated in uitro by use of murine peritoneal macrophages. In uivo 3 and 5 days and then in uiko 5 and 10 days conditions appeared to be suitable for culturing of bradyzoltes. CAMP and pyrimethamine had an effect of stimulation and inhibition on the growth of bradyzolte, respectively.

본 논문에서는 한글과 영문 문서 영상들에 대한 기울어짐 추정(skew estimation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 전체 문서 영상에서 텍스트 요소들이 밀집되어 있는 영역을 선별하고, 선별된 영역에 대해 허프 변환을 적용하는 선택적 주의집중(selective attention) 방식을 채택한다. 제안 방법의 기울기 추정 과정은 2단계로 구성되는데, coarse 단계에서는 전체 영상을 몇 개의 영역으로 나누고 동일한 영역에 속하는 데이타들간의 연결 각도를 계산하여 각 영역별 accumulator에 저장한다. accumulator에 저장된 빈도치를 기준으로 $\pm$45$^{\circ}$범위 내에서 최대 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$의 오차를 가진 각 영역별 기울기를 계산한 후, 이들 중 최대 빈도값을 갖는 영역을 선정하고 그 영역의 기울기 각도를 문서 영상의 대략적인 기울기 각도로 결정한다. Refine 단계에서는 coarse 단계에서 선정된 영역에 허프 변환을 적용하여 정확한 기울기를 계산하는데, coarse 단계에서 추정한 기울기의 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$범위 내에서 0.1$^{\circ}$간격으로 측정한다. 이와 같은 선택적 주의집중 방식을 통해 기울기 추정에 소요되는 시간 비용은 최소화하고, 추정의 정확도는 최대화 할 수 있다.제안 방법의 성능 평가를 위한 실험은 다양한 형태의 영문과 한글 문서 영상 2,016개에 적용되었다. 제안 방법의 평균 수행 시간은 Pentium 200MHz PC에서 0.19초이고 평균 오차는 $\pm$0.08$^{\circ}$이다. 또한 기존의 기울기 추정 방법과 제안 방법의 성능을 비교하여 제안 방법의 우수성을 입증하였다.Abstract In this paper we propose a skew estimation algorithm for English and Korean document images. The proposed method adopts a selective attention strategy, in which we choose a region of interest which contains a cluster of text components and then apply a Hough transform to this region. The skew estimation process consists of two steps. In the coarse step, we divide the entire image into several regions, and compute the skew angle of each region by accumulating the slopes of lines connecting any two components in the region. The skew angle is estimated within the range of $\pm$45 degree with a maximum error of $\pm$1 degree. Next we select a region which has the most frequent slope in the accumulators and determine the skew angle of the image roughly as the angle corresponding to the most frequent slope. In the refine step, a Hough transform is applied for the selected region within the range of $\pm$1 degree along the angle computed from the coarse step, with an angular resolution of 0.1 degree. Based on this selective attention strategy, we can minimize the time cost and maximize the accuracy of the skew estimation.We have measured the performance of the proposed method by an experiment with 2,016 images of various English and Korean documents. The average run time is 0.19 second on a Pentium 200MHz PC, and the average error is $\pm$0.08 degree. We also have proven the superiority of our algorithm by comparing the performance with that of other well-known methods in the literature.

Numerosity perception is considered as an innate ability of human being where its sensivitiy may widely vary across each individual person. The present study explored the relationship between visual working memory (VWM), visual search efficiency, and numerosity sensitivity. To accomplish this, we calculated each participant's K-value from change detection performance representing one's storage capacity in VWM, slopes of search RTs representing the search efficiency, and discrimination sensitivity for a quantity difference across two sets of dot arrays representing the numerosity sensitivity. The correlational analysis across the measurements revealed that participants with a high VWM capacity better discriminated the numerosity difference in the arrays when the spatial information in the two dot arrays was preserved. In contrast, the participants with high search efficiency discriminated better the difference in the arrays when the spatial information in the arrays was not preserved. The results indicate high VWM-capacity individuals were presumably able to use a strategy of storing the dot arrays by grouping them into a smaller pattern of dot arrays while high search-efficiency individuals were able to use a strategy of rapidly switching their focused attention across the dots in the arrays to count each individual dot. These in sum suggest that individual differences in numerosity sensitivity rely on one's working memory capacity as well as their efficient use of switching focused attention.

There are some similar aspects at histological and morphological characteristics between the peri-implant tissue and periodontal tissue and the direct attachment between the titanium and soft tissue around the implant called as "Functional ankylosis" can prevent the apical infiltration of inflammatory and bone resorption around implant. But, the repeated connection and disconnection of the abutment can destroy the mucosal barrier of soft tissue around the implant and can cause the marginal bone resorption. The amount of marginal bone resorption may reduced if the prosthetic abutment is placed at that time of surgery. Connection of the prosthetic abutment at surgery was limited because the low accuracy of conventional method, but by using of Cone Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) and guide surgery, the 3-dimensional accuracy of implant placement became much higher than before and it became possible. This is a clinical case of immediate connection of prosthetic abutment and provisional restoration by using of precise CBCT diagnosis and pre-fabricated zirconia customized abutment at surgery and the alternative method is described in this article because of the clinically contentable results.

It is settled in the economic arena that electronic commerce which used the Internet is new recently by explosive increase of the rapid development and Internet use of the information and communication technology. The problem that is legitimate at a point called the business of the form that the electronic transactions to set together if I drift are new of the times is the situation caused a lot. However, the use custom of construction and electronic transactions of the maintenance that is the legislation thief who can do rules of electronic transactions is the fact that it was not able to be still established It may not be just applied to the Internet electronic transactions that an exchange promise between our characters does against unspecified number of the general public person in the property even if I say that the conclusion of the purchase agreement is concluded in Internet electronic transactions by EDI method. That can have the approval of contract in the main legal problem of such an Internet electronic transactions contract. We civil law sorts it by a contract between the talks characters and a contract between the remote area people and all the adopted children are equal and must decide the formation of contract time in a principle of Empfangstheorie because it may be said that the rule of the civil law that it be heated and decides to be able to be available is irrational.

Philosophical roots and discussion frames of neoliberalism are very heterogeneous and approaches to neoliberalism including anarchism, post-neoliberalism also take diverse stances. Even if neoliberalism is losing legitimacy and stability through the global financial crisis, 2008, spatial perspective is becoming more and more important as neoliberalism constantly evolve with creating immense variations. Especially, urban space has become strategically crucial arenas as spatio-temporal strategies and generative nodes for reproduction of neoliberalism. Urban enclosure plays a key role in the specific process of neoliberal urbanization as a kind of capitalist formal and real subsumption. Contemporary capitalism continuously has been sustaining the accumulation by dispossession based on urban enclosure through reshaping the primitive accumulation mechanism. These enclosures are embodied by the change of public use concept from public ownership to economic benefits and public-private taking for private capital. Urban enclosure promotes reification deepening the separation and alienation of workers from the means of production and survival, and interdiction from free place appropriation, transformation of urban economy to patrimonial forms. Also it is pervasive in a daily life space and everyday experience in the city, and private tangled social rules dominate public space and the publicity of space.

In the implant prosthetic procedure, the soft tissue reaction was varied with the material and surface treatment of the abutment. It may be the cause of the peri-implantitis, and hence it can affect the long-term prognosis of the implant prosthesis. Titania and zirconia abutment presented superior biocompatibility and stable soft tissue reaction, while gold alloy abutment showed unfavorable reaction sometimes. A soft tissue reaction can be differed by the surface characteristics even in the same material type. Because rougher surface induces a bacterial attachment, the part contacting a soft tissue should have smooth surface. Additional surface treatment can enhance the cellular response without increasing bacterial attachment. Repeated removal and insertion of the abutment and the shape of the abutment may affect the soft tissue reaction, also. Ultrasonic cleaning and argon plasma cleaning are effective way to clean the retained micro-dust on the customized abutment.

It is noted that nowadays, the bride wealth custom takes an extremely distorted form in African society. Such a phenomenon is a result that the male-dominant culture, Western religions, and capitalist economic system have been negatively combined into dynamic factors seen as bride wealth. This means that the concept of bride wealth has been incessantly reconstructed in the middle of clash and conflict of tradition and modernity. There is also little doubt that the practice is inextricably tangled with the common and current ways of livelihood, early marriage, polygyny, kinship/family structure, poverty, and migration labor. Bride wealth has become an increasingly commercialized element under a capitalist economic system. Accordingly, its traditional symbolism is seen to be subsequently weakening, whereas a tendency towards the reification of women is strengthening more in modern society that embraces modern customs bent on the protection of women's human rights. Its commercialization has produced a result, which instigates the noted violations of women's basic human rights, gender inequality, and promotion of domestic violence. The ways that people perceive bride wealth vary according to their own sex, generation, stratification, and ethnic background. Those people who negatively recognize bride wealth will increase with the deepening of its commercialization due to the influence of capitalism. Its color and effect will deepen and depend on how its agents correspond to socioeconomic changes. They will constantly reinterpret and reconstruct it within their own environments, but the basic human rights efforts are constantly under review by concerned individuals seeking to promote equality for women as a global effort.
