  • The red alga Compsopogon caeruleus can generally be found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. In addition to its natural habitats, this species may be found in waters that receive abnormally hot water, e.g., from powerhouses. To date, the presence of C. caeruleus has not been observed in thermally polluted lacustrine ecosystems in Poland, which has a moderate climate. The thalli of this red alga were found growing on Vallisneria spiralis in Lichenskie Lake. Importantly, this paper presents a previously unknown relationship between the temperature (20, 25, 30, 35, and 40℃) and oxygen requirements of C. caeruleus (based on ex situ measurements of O2 consumption by thalli). Surprisingly, 35℃ can be the optimum temperature for C. caeruleus, and this temperature is higher than the values reported by some previous thermal analyses by approximately 10℃. Additionally, we reviewed and mapped the distribution of this nonnative and mesophilic red alga in natural / seminatural water ecosystems in Europe. Finally, we propose that the occurrence of C. caeruleus mature thalli can be a novel, simple and easy-to-recognize bioindicator of artificially and permanently heated waters in moderate climate zones by a regular discharge of postindustrial water.

  • 해양환경 및 해양생태계를 파괴하고 해양사고의 원인이 되는 해양쓰레기는 매년 늘어나고 있으나 그 중 해양침적쓰레기는 해저에 위치해 있어 파악과 수거에 어려움이 있다. 이에 효율적인 수거와 분포량 파악을 위해 수중촬영 이미지를 이용하여 폐그물과 폐밧줄을 대상으로 딥러닝 기반의 의미론적 분할을 실험하였다. 분할에는 최신 딥러닝 기법인 high-resolution network (HRNet)을 사용하고 최적화 알고리즘(optimizer) 별 성능 비교를 하였다. 분할 결과 그물에서는 adaptive moment estimation (Adam), Momentum, stochastic gradient descent(SGD) 순으로 F1 score=(86.46%, 86.20%, 85.29%), IoU=(76.15%, 75.74%, 74.36%) 이며, 밧줄은 F1 score=(80.49%, 80.48%, 77.86%), IoU=(67.35%, 67.33%, 63.75%)로 그물과 밧줄에서 모두 Adam의 결과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 연구 결과를 통해 optimizer 별 분할 성능 평가와 최신 딥러닝 기법의 해양침적쓰레기 분할에 대한 가능성을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 수중촬영 이미지를 통한 해양침적쓰레기 식별에 최신 딥러닝 기법을 적용시킴으로써 육안을 통한 식별보다 정확하고 효율적인 식별을 통해 해양침적쓰레기의 분포량 산정에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Asian dust is a seasonal meteorological phenomenon influencing most East Asia, irregularly occurring during spring. Unusual heavy Asian dust event in winter was observed in Seoul, Korea, with up to $1,044{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ of hourly mean $PM_{10}$, in 22~23 February 2015. Causes of such infrequent event has been studied using both ground based and spaceborne observations, as well as numerical simulations including ECMWF ERA Interim reanalysis, NOAA HYSPLIT backward trajectory analysis, and ADAM2-Haze simulation. Analysis showed that southern Mongolia and northern China, one of the areas for dust origins, had been warm and dry condition, i.e. no snow depth, soil temperature of ${\sim}0^{\circ}C$, and cumulative rainfall of 1 mm in February, along with strong surface winds higher than critical wind speed of $6{\sim}7.5m\;s^{-1}$ during 20~21 February. While Jurihe, China, ($42^{\circ}23^{\prime}56^{{\prime}{\prime}}N$, $112^{\circ}53^{\prime}58^{{\prime}{\prime}}E$) experienced $9,308{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ of hourly mean surface $PM_{10}$ during the period, the Asian dust had affected the Korean Peninsula within 24 hours traveling through strong north-westerly wind at ~2 km altitude. KMA issued Asian dust alert from 1100 KST on 22nd to 2200 KST on 23rd since above $400{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ of hourly mean surface $PM_{10}$. It is also important to note that, previously to arrival of the Asian dust, the Korean Peninsula was affected by anthropogenic air pollutants ($NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, and $NH_4^+$) originated from the megacities and large industrial areas in northeast China. In addition, this study suggests using various data sets from modeling and observations as well as improving predictability of the ADAM2-Haze model itself, in order to more accurately predict the occurrence and impacts of the Asian dust over the Korean peninsula.

  • MCNP4A 코드를 이용하여 MIRD 인형팬텀의 정면과 후방에서 입사하는 넓고 평행한 감마선빔에 대한 단위 공기커마당 유효선량 환산계수와 단위 플르언스당 장기의 등가선량을 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 고려한 감마선은 0.03-10 MeV 에너지 구간에서 20개의 단일에너지에 대해 수행되었다. 환산계수의 계산결과를 ICRP/ICRU의 연구결과 발표예정 출판물에 주어진 해당되는 값과 비교한 결과 편차 10%이내에서 일치하고 있다. 결과의 차이가 발생한 이유는 MIRD 팬텀과 ADAM/EVE 팬텀의 기하학적 차이가 주원인이며 또한 계산에 사용된 전산코드와 단면적 차이 등으로 판단된다. 특정 식도 모델을 사용한 결과로부터 얻어진 유효선량과 흉선과 췌장에 대한 등가선량을 채택함으로써 얻어지는 유효선량은 약간(최고 5%)의 차이를 보인다. 기타장기로부터 상부대장을 제외했을 때 본 연구에서 다루었던 감마선 선량학적 측면의 경우에서는 중요하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

  • Amyloid beta (Aβ) is produced from an amyloid precursor protein by the activation of the amyloidogenic pathway, and it is widely known to cause Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of three flavonoids, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, and afzelin, from Acer okamotoanum against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Aβ25-35 treatments resulted in decreased cell viability and increased levels of nuclei condensation and fragmentation. However, an isoquercitrin treatment dose-dependently increased cell viability and decreased nuclei condensation and fragmentation levels. SH-SY5Y cells treated with Aβ25-35 showed increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared to that from cells not treated with Aβ25-35. However, treatment with the three flavonoids significantly inhibited ROS production compared to an Aβ25-35-treated control group, indicating that the three flavonoids blocked neuronal oxidative stress. For a closer examination of the neuroprotective mechanisms, we measured the expressions of the non-amyloidogenic pathway-related proteins of a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10) and the tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme (TACE). An isoquercitrin treatment enhanced the expressions of ADAM10 compared to the control group. In addition, the three flavonoids activated the non-amyloidogenic pathway via the upregulation of TACE. In conclusion, we demonstrated neuroprotective effects of three flavonoids from A. okamotoanum, in particular isoquercitrin, on neurotoxicity by the regulation of the non-amyloidogenic pathway in Aβ25-35-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Therefore, we suggest that flavonoids from A. okamotoanum may have some potential as therapeutics of AD.

  • In this study, medical images, which are X-ray image and CT image, are compressed by the adam live coding technique. The medical images may be treated as special ones, because they are different from general images in many respects. The statistical characteristics that medical images only have in transform domain are analyzed, and then the improved quantization method is proposed for medical images. For chest X-ray image and CT head image, the better results are obtained by the improved adaptive coding technique.
