Nitric oxide (NO) occurs in various types of cells in the central nervous system. We studied the distribution and morphology of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons in the visual cortex of mouse and rabbit with antibody immunocytochemistry. We also compared this labeling to that of calbindin D28K, calretinin, and parvalbumin. Staining for NOS was seen both in the specific layers and in selective cell types. The densest concentration of intense anti-NOS immunoreactive (IR) neurons was found in layer VI, while the weak anti-NOS-IR neurons were found in layer II/III in both animals. The NOS-IR neurons varied in morphology. The large majority of NOS-IR neurons were round or oval cells with many dendrites coursing in all directions. Two-color immunofluorescence revealed that only 16.7% of the NOS-IR cells were double-labeled with calbindin D28K in the mouse visual cortex, while more than half (51.7%) of the NOS-IR cells were double-labeled with calretinin and 25.0% of the NOS-IR cells were double-labeled with parvalbumin in mouse. By contrast, 92.4% of the NOS-IR neurons expressed calbindin D28K while only 2.5% of the NOS-IR neurons expressed calretinin in the rabbit visual cortex. In contrast with the mouse, none of the NOS-IR cells in the rabbit visual cortex were double-labeled with parvalbumin. The results indicate that neurons in the visual cortex of both animals express NOS in specific layers and cell types, which do not correlate with the expression of calbindin D28K, calretinin or parvalbumin between the two animals.

A marine brown alga was collected from Geoje, located on the southern coast of Korea. This species shares the generic features of Dictyota and is morphologically characterized by the combined features of erect or prostrate thallus with smooth margin, dichotomous to subdichotomous branches not twisted at the terminal part, absence of surface proliferations, 1-3 cell layered cortex and unilayered medulla, and lack of involucrum in sporangia subtended by a single stalk cell. In a phylogenetic tree based on rbcL sequences, this species nests in the same clade with Dictyota bartayresiana. The genetic distance between both sequences within the clade was calculated as 1.2%, considered to be within the intra-species range for the genus. Based on these morphological and molecular analyses, this Korean alga is identified as D. bartayresiana described originally from the West Indies. This is the first record of D. bartayresiana in Korea.

인공생명 기법의 대표적인 응용분야 중 하나인 창발적인 개체의 생성에서 유전자를 표현하는 방법으로 크게 방향성 그래프와 L-system의 두 가지 방법이 사용되고 있다. 두 가지 방법 모두 각기 좋은 특성이 있지만 L-system은 사용자에 의해 내부적인 파라메터로 정의되기 때문에 전체적인 실제 모양을 구조적으로 정의하기 어렵다 본 논문에서는 이런 단점을 극복하고자 실제 모양을 표현하는데 적절한 구조적 방향성 그래프를 도입하여 개체의 유전자를 구조적으로 표현함으로써 실제 개체와 유사한 모양을 창발적으로 생성하고, 이를 클러스터 대화형 유전자 알고리즘에 적용하여 사용자가 생성하고자 하는 실제 모양의 캐릭터를 자동으로 생성하게 하였다. 실험을 통해 2차원에서의 의자모양과 꽃 모양을 생성함으로써 다양한 구조의 창발적인 캐릭터를 생성할 수 있는 가능성을 제시했다.

This study presents method for self-calibration of the SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) stereo image using the standard microprobe with same grid pattern and using parallel and central perspective projection equation. Result showed that parallel projection method is more suitable for standard microprobe. The maximum error of 3D coordinates acquired by this method did not exceed 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$, and DSM(Digital Surface Model) for three dimensional measurement of the rock sample was generated by the digital photogrammetry. This result can be used for quantification of micro scale change of shape and analysis of the micro morphology of rock due to weathering.

By using electron beam evaporation under appropriate conditions, we obtained graphene intercalated sheets on Si(111) with an average crystallite size less than 11nm. The formation of such nanocrystalline graphene was found as a time-dependent function of carbon deposition at a substrate temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$. The structural and electronic properties as well as the surface morphology of such produced materials have been confirmed by reflection high energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether dietary supplementation with a functional fatty acid blend (FA) that contains 31.4% butyric acid and 4.99% medium-chain FA improve growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity status, and anti-inflammatory ability in weaned piglets. Methods: One hundred and forty-four healthy piglets (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) with an average body weight (BW) of 7.98±3.43 kg were randomly divided into three groups with six replicate pens and eight piglets per pen: Normal control (NC): a corn-soybean basal diet; FA1: a basal diet supplemented with 1,000 mg/kg of a functional FA; FA2: a basal diet supplemented with 2,000 mg/kg of a functional FA. The experiment lasted for 28 d. On d 14 and 28, one piglet in each pen from NC and FA2 groups was randomly selected for antioxidative index and immunoglobulins. On d 28, one piglet in each pen from NC and FA2 groups was randomly selected for intestinal morphology and inflammatory factor. Results: We observed that FA supplementation linearly increased (p<0.05) average daily gain and the final BW. There was higher (p<0.05) catalase on d 14, and immunoglobulin (Ig) A and IgM on d 28 in piglets supplemented with FA2 than in the NC group. Moreover, dietary FA2 reduced (p<0.05) crypt depth of ileum in piglets. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, and IL-10 in jejunum were lower (p<0.05) in the FA2 group compared with the NC group. Conclusion: Therefore, the overall results suggests that the FA may help to improve gut health, antioxidant status, and immune parameters resulting in the improvement of growth performance.

In this study, we investigated the effect of Na₂SiO₃ concentration on the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation(PEO) film formation of Al6061 alloy. The morphology of the PEO films were examined by Optical Microscope(OM) and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). PEO film thickness increases as the Na₂SiO₃ concentration increases. The elemental analysis of PEO films was conducted using Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer(EDS). The cross-sectional elemental analysis result shows that the Si concentration tends to increase as the concentration of Na₂SiO₃ increases. X-Ray Diffraction(XRD) analysis was performed to confirm the degree of phase change according to Na₂SiO₃ concentration. In addition, Vickers hardness was measured to confirm the mechanical strength of the PEO film. As the concentration of Na₂SiO₃ increases, the hardness value also tends to increase.

Carbon materials were synthesized by pyrolysis from fibers of Corn-straw (Zea mays), Rice-straw (Oryza sativa), Jute-straw (Corchorus capsularis) Bamboo (Bombax bambusa), Bagass (Saccharum officinarum), Cotton (Bombax malabaricum), and Coconut (Cocos nucifera); these materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectra. All carbon materials are micro sized with large pores or channel like morphology. The unique complex spongy, porous and channel like structure of Carbon shows a lot of similarity with the original anatomy of the plant fibers used as precursor. Waxy contents like tyloses and pits present on fiber tracheids that were seen in the inherent anatomy disappear after pyrolysis and only the carbon skeleton remained; XRD analysis shows that carbon shows the development of a (002) plane, with the exception of carbon obtained from bamboo, which shows a very crystalline character. Raman studies of all carbon materials showed the presence of G- and D-bands of almost equal intensities, suggesting the presence of graphitic carbon as well as a disordered graphitic structure. Carbon materials possessing lesser density, larger surface area, more graphitic with less of an $sp^3$ carbon contribution, and having pore sizes around $10{\mu}m$ favor hydrogen adsorption. Carbon materials synthesized from bagass meet these requirements most effectively, followed by cotton fiber, which was more effective than the carbon synthesized from the other plant fibers.

본 논문에서는 밀도법 기반 위상 최적설계를 통해 얻어진 수치 결과를 바탕으로 CAD 모델을 구성하고 이를 3차원 프린터로 제작하여 실험적으로 최적설계를 검증하였다. 위상 최적설계 과정에서는 체커보드(Checkerboard) 현상이나 잔가지가 종종 나타나는데, 이는 최적설계 구조물을 실제로 제작함에 있어서 어려움을 준다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 민감도 필터링과 모폴로지 기법을 사용하였다. 엄밀한 검증을 위하여 수치 모델과 실험 모델의 부피율을 일치시켰다. 위상 최적설계를 포함한 다양한 설계에 대하여 실험을 통해 비교하여 최적설계 구조물이 가장 높은 강성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였으며 컴플라이언스에 대한 실험결과는 수치해석 값과 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.
