The use of an activated carbon (AC) system alone has the limitation that the pollutants are not eliminated but only transferred to another phase with the consumed AC becoming hazardous waste itself. Therefore, the present study investigated the feasibility of using a combined system of granular AC (GAC) with S-doped visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ (GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$) to clean monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) with concentrations at $\leq$ 3 mg $m^{-3}$, using a continuous air-flow reactor. This study conducted three different experiments: an adsorption test of pure GAC and GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$; a long-term adsorptional photocatalytic (AP) activity test of GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$; and an AP activity test of GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$ under different conditions. For the AP activity test, three parameters were evaluated: various weights of GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$ (0.9, 4.4, and 8.9 g); various flow rates (FRs) (0.5, 1 and 2 L $min^{-1}$); and various input concentrations (ICs) of the target MAHs (0.1, 1, 2 and 3 mg $m^{-3}$). The adsorption efficiencies were similar for the pure GAC and GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$ reactors, suggesting that S-doped $TiO_2$ particles on GAC surfaces do not significantly interfere with the adsorption capacity of GAC. Benzene exhibited a clear AP activity, whereas no other target MAHs did. In most cases, the AP efficiencies for the target MAHs did not significantly vary with an increase in weight, thereby suggesting that, under the weight range tested in this study, the weights or FRs are not important parameters for AP efficiency. However, ICs did influence the AP efficiencies.

STEP AP218 has a standard schema to represent the structural model of a midship section. While it helps to exchange ship structural models among heterogeneous automation systems, most shipyards and classification societies still exchange information using 2D paper drawings. We propose a feature parameter input method to generate a 3D STEP model of a ship structure from 2D drawings. We have analyzed the ship structure information contained in 2D drawings and have defined a data model to express the contents of the drawing. We also developed a QUI for the feature parameter input. To translate 2D information extracted from the drawing into a STEP AP2l8 model, we have developed a shape generation library, and generated the 3D ship model through this library. The generated 3D STEP model of a ship structure can be used to exchange information between design departments in a shipyard as well as between classification societies and shipyards.

본 연구에서는 해양생물 중 대표적 패류에 속하며 게두라고 불리우는 키조개를 추출, 각 용매별로 분획하여 암세포 성장억제 효과와 QR 유도활성 효과 등 각 생리활성효과에 대해 살펴보았다. 단백질이 많은 저칼로리 식품으로, 필수 아미노산과 철분이 많아 동맥경화와 빈혈예방에 좋다고 알려진 키조개의 암세포 성장억제에 대한 실험결과, 4종의 인체 암세포주 HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7 및 HT-29에서 모두 시료첨가 농도에 의존적으로 성장저지 효과가 나타났고, methanol 분획층인 APMM에서 괄목할 만한 높은 효과를 나타냈다. 특히 HeLa 세포주에서는 저첨가농도인 120 $\mu$g/mL에서 이미 $90.45\%$의 높은 세포독성 효과를 보였고, 다른 세포주들에서도 첨가농도별 효과의 차이는 있었으나 거의 유사한 세포성장 억제효과를 볼 수 있었다. 한편, 사용한 4가지 암세포주중 유일하게 quinone reductase를 가지고 있는 HepG2를 이용하여 quinone reductase 효소유도 활성여부를 측정한 결과 분획물 첨가농도를 20, 40, 60 및 80 $\mu$g/mL로 소량을 첨가하였음에도 40 $\mu$g/mL에서 이미 1.5배의 높은 QR 유도효과가 나타났으며, 농도를 증가시킬수록 그 효과가 증가하여 최종농도인 80 $\mu$g/mL에서는 약 2.0배의 QR 유도활성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 실험결과에서, 패류인 키조개의 생리활성을 이용한 여러 유용한 기능성 식품의 개발이 기대되어진다.

본 논문은 객체 위치식별 알고리즘의 성능을 향상하기 위한 레이블 재할당 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 추론 단계와 재할당 단계로 구분한다. 추론 단계에서는 학습된 모델로부터 사전 지정된 크기에 따라 다중 스케일 추론을 수행한 뒤, 이를 마스킹한 영상을 다시 한번 추론하여 강인한 클래스 종류의 추론 결과를 얻는다. 재할당 단계에서는 박스간의 IoU를 계산하여 중복 박스를 제거하고, 박스와 클래스의 빈도를 계산하여 지배적 클래스를 다시 할당하였다. 제안한 방법을 검증하기 위하여 공사현장 안전장비 인식 영상 데이터 세트에 레이블 재할당 방법을 적용하고 이를 YOLOX-L 객체 탐지 모델에서 학습하였다. 실험 결과 적용 전 대비 mAP가 3.9% 향상하여 51.07%를 달성하였으며 AP_S를 3배 이상 향상하여 14.53%를 달성하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 레이블 재할당 알고리즘이 더 우수한 성능의 모델을 훈련해 냄을 확인하였다.

Objective: We implemented a novel resectable myocardial model for mock myectomy using a hybrid method of three-dimensional (3D) printing and silicone molding for patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM). Materials and Methods: From January 2019 through May 2020, 3D models from three patients with ApHCM were generated using the end-diastolic cardiac CT phase image. After computer-aided designing of measures to prevent structural deformation during silicone injection into molding, 3D printing was performed to reproduce anatomic details and molds for the left ventricular (LV) myocardial mass. We compared the myocardial thickness of each cardiac segment and the LV myocardial mass and cavity volumes between the myocardial model images and cardiac CT images. The surgeon performed mock surgery, and we compared the volume and weight of the resected silicone and myocardium. Results: During the mock surgery, the surgeon could determine an ideal site for the incision and the optimal extent of myocardial resection. The mean differences in the measured myocardial thickness of the model (0.3, 1.0, 6.9, and 7.3 mm in the basal, midventricular, apical segments, and apex, respectively) and volume of the LV myocardial mass and chamber (36.9 mL and 14.8 mL, 2.9 mL and -9.4 mL, and 6.0 mL and -3.0 mL in basal, mid-ventricular and apical segments, respectively) were consistent with cardiac CT. The volume and weight of the resected silicone were similar to those of the resected myocardium (6 mL [6.2 g] of silicone and 5 mL [5.3 g] of the myocardium in patient 2; 12 mL [12.5 g] of silicone and 11.2 mL [11.8 g] of the myocardium in patient 3). Conclusion: Our 3D model created using hybrid 3D printing and silicone molding may be useful for determining the extent of surgery and planning surgery guided by a rehearsal platform for ApHCM.

Optimal protocol for efficient genetic transformation has been defined to aid future strategies of genetic engineering in pigeon pea with agronomically important genes. Transgenic pigeonpea plants were successfully produced through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation method using cotyledonary node explants by employing defined culture media. The explants were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens strain C-58 harboring the binary plasmid, pCAMBIA-1301 [con-ferring $\beta$-glucuronidase(GUS) activity and resistance to hygromycin] and cultured on selection medium (regeneration medium supplemented with hygromycin) to select putatively transformed shoots. The shoots were then rooted on root induction medium and transferred to pots containing sand and soil mixture in the ratio of 1:1. About 22 putative TO transgenic plants have been produced. Stable expression and integration of the transgenes in the putative transgenics were confirmed by GUS assay, PCR and Southern blot hybridization with a transformation efficiency of over 45%. Stable integration and expression of the marker gene has been confirmed in the TO and T1 transgenics through PCR, and Southern hybridization.

Surimi has been traditionally used as the main ingredient in gelling foods, such as imitation crab sticks. However, it can also be used to manufacture snacks without gelling properties. To assess the properties of surimi as a snack ingredient, we prepared fried fish snacks with different surimi grades of Alaska pollack (AP) and threadfin bream (TB) and evaluated their quality characteristics. AP had significantly higher protein and gel strength values than TB did. Regarding color, TB showed significantly lower lightness (L) values and higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) values than AP did, consistent with the appearance of a brown color. TB had significantly lower hardness values, higher thickness expansion, and higher oil content than AP did. Hardness was found to be positively correlated with gel strength and negatively correlated with oil content. In the micro-structure images, more blistering was formed in TB, indicating higher expansion and crispiness. In the sensory evaluation, TB showed higher overall sensory acceptance than AP did, which is the result of its high color content, crispiness, taste, and aroma. Principal component analysis of the electronic nose and tongue revealed that the samples were clearly separated. In particular, TB had more aromatic components than AP in the electronic tongue. Our findings indicate that gel strength, which determines the quality properties of surimi, does not need to be considered in snack manufacturing. In fact, surimi with low gel strength is a more suitable ingredient for snack manufacturing.
