  • A mycotoxin is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by organisms of the fungus kingdom, commonly known as molds and has been widely contaminated in agricultural products such as grains and cereals. Many methods including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) have already been proposed and reviewed for mycotoxins. These methods are either expensive or time-consuming due to the complication of sample preparation and pre-concentration before determination. In addition, both methods are unsuitable for the routine screening of large sample numbers. A biosensor is a fictive analytical device that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector for the detection of an analyte. Biosensors represent a rapidly expanding field, at the present time, with an estimated 60% annual growth rate; the major impetus coming from the health-care industry but with some pressure from other areas, such as food safety and environmental monitoring. Antibodies and aptamers are bioreceptors which have been used in the development of biosensors. There are many kinds of antibodies and aptamers specific to mycotoxin, and antibody (or aptamer)-based biosensors have been successfully developed for the detection of mycotoxin. The biosensors permit the rapid, sensitive, simple, and on-site detection of a range of mycotoxins and can be an alternative method to traditional methods such as HPLC and GC. This presentation provides the development trends of biosensors to mycotoxins and their application to food and agricultural products.

  • Background: The hyoid bone is the only non-jointed structure among the skeletal tissues of the head and neck region, and its movement and posture depend on the attached muscle, ligament, and fascia. The location of the hyoid bone is important for airway maintenance, vocalization, chewing, swallowing, breathing, and head and scapular position. In general, the location of the hyoid bone is measured using radiographs and 3D computed tomography, and no studies have reported on clinical measurement methods. Objects: This study was performed to suggest clinical measurement methods for lateral deviation of the hyoid bone and to evaluate their reliability. Methods: In this study, 24 healthy volunteers (12 males, 12 females) in Cheongju-si participated. Two examiners performed the center point test and lateral motion test twice each to measure the lateral displacement of the hyoid bone. The reliability of the center point test was analyzed using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), and the reliability of the lateral motion test was analyzed using Cohen's kappa coefficient. Results: The intra-rater reliability of the center point test was good, and the inter-rater reliability was moderate. The intra- and inter-rater reliability of the lateral motion test showed substantial reliability. Conclusion: Based on these results, the center point test and the lateral motion test can be used as an alternative methods of the measurement of lateral deviation of the hyoid bone for people who have musculoskeletal disorders of the head, neck, and scapula.

  • 아파트의 슬래브에는 전기등박스 매입을 위한 소형 박스 개구부가 존재한다. 이 박스 개구부 주변에는 건조수축으로 인한 균열을 방지하기 위하여 일부에서는 용접철망이나 플라스틱 링 등으로 보강한 상세를 적용하고 있다. 이러한 보강의 타당성을 검토하고 경제적인 대안을 모색하기 위하여 여러 가지 대안으로 보강을 한 슬래브 전기박스 주변의 건조 수축량을 측정하여 분석하였다. 등박스 주변의 보강방법 대안은 기존에 여러 건설사에서 사용되고 있는 용접철망보강안과 플라스틱링 보강안 및 보강을 하지 않은 무보강안 3가지로 하여 비교 분석하였다. 여기서 대상으로 한 아파트는 전용면적 $59m^2$ 이하의 소형평형을 대상으로 하였고 거실 등의 슬래브 하부에 전등박스 주변에 신축량 측정용 팁을 부착하고 컨텍게이지로 신축량을 측정하여 분석하였다. 측정 결과 3가지 대안들에서 상호간의 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았고 전반적인 변형량은 $-264{\mu}{\varepsilon}{\sim}+216{\mu}{\varepsilon}$의 범위에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 측정한 변형량의 추이는 거푸집 탈형일 기준치에서 3~5주까지는 조금씩 증가(+)하다가 그 이후 감소하여 수축(-)하는 경향을 띠고 있으며, 한두번의 측정을 제외하고는 변형률이 $+120{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ 이내의 범위에 있는 것으로 나타내고 있어, 콘크리트의 인장 균열 발생 가능성이 매우 거의 없었다.

  • 본 연구는 텍스트 중심의 연기론과 신체 중심의 연기론의 연결링크가 필요하다는 문제점을 인식하며 출발한다. 배우뿐만 아니라 연기교육자에 의해서도 수차례 논의되어 온 재현적 반복 연기를 통한 현존성 상실이라는 난제를 극복해줄 방안으로 브레히트의 연기론을 연구한다. 브레히트의 연기론은 많은 연구자들에 의해 종래의 배우훈련의 대안으로써 이미 언급된 바 있지만 실제 적용이 가능한 연기 훈련방법에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되지 않은 실정으로 브레히트 연기법의 실제에 대한 기초자료가 될 수 있도록 목표한다. 본 연구는 그 중에서도 텍스트 기반의 모순 찾기와 신체 중심의 브레히트 연기론을 연구하고 그의 연기론이 텍스트와 신체 중심 연기론의 연결링크로써 작용할 수 있는 가능성을 탐구한다. 연구방법으로는 먼저 텍스트 중심의 재현적 연기론과 신체 중심의 포스트드라마 연기론의 개념과 한계에 대한 이론적 고찰을 진행한다. 그리고 브레히트의 서사적 연기 중에서 텍스트에 중점을 둔 연기실행도구와 신체에 중점을 둔 연기실행도구를 구분하여 그가 사용한 용어와 개념을 정리하고 연기실행의 과정에서 도달하는 현존적 효과에 대해 확인한다. 마지막으로 필자의 지도경험을 바탕으로 브레히트의 연기이론을 변형하여 개발한 연기교수법 학습모형을 제안한다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제시한 학습모형은 필자의 지도경험만을 바탕으로 하기 때문에 그 효과를 일반화하는 데는 한계가 있음을 밝힌다. 향후 후속 연구를 통해 브레히트 연기론에 대한 깊이 있는 통찰과 다양한 연기교수법 모형을 개발을 통해 현대 연기교육의 다양성에 보탬이 되기를 기대해 본다.

  • The purpose of this paper is to propose several approximating methods to obtain the American option prices under jump-diffusion processes. The first method is to extend an approximating method to the optimal exercise boundary by a multipiece exponential function suggested by Ju [17]. The second approach is to modify the analytical methods of MacMillan [20] and Zhang [25] in a discrete time space. The third approach is to apply the simulation technique of Ibanez and Zapareto [14] to the problem of American option pricing when the jumps are allowed. Finally, we compare the numerical performance of each suggesting method with those of the previous numerical approaches.

  • It is well known that solar tracking systems can increase the efficiency of exiting solar panels significantly. In this paper, a hybrid solar tracking system has been developed by using both astronomical estimates from a GPS and the image processing results of a camera vision system. A decision making process is also proposed to distinguish current weather conditions using camera images. Based on the decision making results, the proposed hybrid tracking system switches two tracking control methods. The one control method is based on astronomical estimates of the current solar position. And the other control method is based on the solar image processing result. The developed hybrid solar tracking system is implemented on an experimental platform and the performance of the developed control methods are verified.

  • Lactophoricin (LPcin), which is a part of proteose peptone isolated from bovine milk, is a cationic amphipathic ${\alpha}-helical$ antimicrobial peptide. Its truncated variants and mutated analogs were designed and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated by using various assays, like broth dilution methods and disk diffusion methods as well as hemolysis assay. Three analogs, LPcin-C8 (LPcin-YK1), LPcin-T2&6W (LPcin-YK2), and LPcin-T2&6W-C8 (LPcin-YK3), which showed better antibiotic activities than LPcin, were selected. Their secondary structures were also characterized by using CD spectropolarimetry. These three analogs of LPcin could be used as an alternative source of powerful antibacterial agents.

  • Although many defects in PZR heater sleeve have been reported continually from operating experiences in oversea nuclear power plant, utilities get into difficulties in finding appropriate methods for diagnostics of the components due to the limited access or high radiation problems. Recently, as an alternative, diagnostics using Guided Wave Testing(GWT) are proposed and the attention of the methods has been growing gradually because of their long range inspection capability. This study is to investigate the effectiveness of GWT to detect PWSCC in welding points of PZR heater sleeve. Moreover, mode sensitivity analysis of GWT and optimal frequency for the diagnostics of PWSCC are presented by testing the mock-ups specimens that contain artificial flaws.

  • Multimedia contents what we call Digital Items include various types of resources such as music, speech, text, video, graphics, and so on. The current Adaptation QoS described in the ISO/IEC 21000-7 CD-Part 7: Digital Item Adaptation, however, lacks adaptation methods for audio signals. The goal of this paper is to provide adaptation methods that are necessary to deal with audio signals. Two operations are introduced in order to adapt audio items. One method is to make use of the functionality of Fine Grain Scalability, and the other is intended to drop the channel of audio output channel. This paper provides a DIA description tool that associates the operators with the corresponding values of the constraint and the utility. Furthermore, the operations are evaluated and compared to alternative solutions.
