이상의 실험결과들을 요약하면, CFA를 안면영역 피하로 주입하여 발생한 염증성 통증 행위반응은 P2X 수용체의 억제제의 투여로 감소할 수 있었다. 특히 $P2X_7$ 수용체 억제제를 투여하면 진통작용 뿐 아니라 활성화된 신경아교세포 발현을 억제하였다. 이러한 실험 결과는 $P2X_7$ 수용체가 신경아교세포에 영향을 미쳐 안면에서 발생하는 만성 염증성 통증의 발생과 유지에 관여하고 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 중추신경계의 신경아교세포를 조절할 수 있는 중추성 $P2X_7$ 수용체 작용기전은 임상에서 만성 염증성 통증을 보다 효과적으로 치료할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시해 줄 수 있다고 생각된다.

Vitamin D is one of important factors involved in the regulation of bone metabolism. In osteoporosis, the therapeutic effect of vitamin D on the healing process has still been controversial. To conform the effect of $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ on osteoporosis, the change of serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum alkaline phosphatase, bone mineral density and bone mineral content of osteoporotic tibia were examined comparatively in normal control group(positive control), CFA control(negative control), CFA+$1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.01 ug/kg group and CFA+$1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.1 ug/kg group after osteoporosis was induced by single injection of complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA) in rats. In change of serum calcium. the significantly increased value was shown on 2nd and 5th week(P< 0.05) after treatment in $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin D$_3$ 0.01 ug/kg group and on 3rd week(P<0.05) after treatment in $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.1 ug/kg group than CFA control. In change of serum phosphorus, the significantly increased value was shown on 2nd week(P<0.05) after treatment in $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.01 ug/kg group and on 3rd and 4th week(P<0.05) after treatment in $1{\alpha}$, ,25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.1 ug/kg group than CFA control. The value of bone mineral density and bone mineral content of tibia was increased in both $1{\alpha}$,25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.01 ug/kg group and $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.1 ug/kg group than CFA control, and the increase rate of that was higher in $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.1 ug/kg group than $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ 0.01 ug/kg group. Considering above findings collectively, it was considered that $1{\alpha}$, 25 dihydroxy-vitamin $D_3$ was effective in preventing the complete Freund's adjuvant-induced osteoporotic decrease of bone mass.

In this study, an electrical conductive carbon fiber was used as a biofilter matrix to electrochemically improve the biofilter function. A bioreactor system was composed of carbon fiber (anode), titanium ring, porcelain ring, inorganic nutrient reservoir, and VOC reservoir. Electric DC power of 1.5 volt was charged to the carbon fiber anode (CFA) to induce the electrochemical oxidation potential on the biofilter matrix, but not to the carbon fiber (CF). We tested the effects of electrochemical oxidation potential charged to the CFA on the biofilm structure, the bacterial growth, and the activity for metabolic oxidation of VOCs to $CO_2$, According to the SEM image, the biofilm structure developed in the CFA appeared to be greatly different from that in the CF. The bacterial growth, VOCs degradation, and metabolic oxidation of VOCs to $CO_2$ in the CFA were more activated than those in the CF. On the basis of these results, we propose that the biofilm structure can be improved, and the bacterial growth and the bacterial oxidation activity of VOCs can be activated by the electrochemical oxidation potential charged to a biofilter matrix.

IEEE802.15.4의 비경쟁기반 다중 접속 기법으로 적용된 GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot)의 성능 분석과 문제점 분석을 통해, 개선된 형태의 Cyclic Contention free Access(Cyclic-CFA) 기법을 제안한다. Cyclic-CFA 기법은 Polling 기법을 개선한 스케줄링 방식으로, 장치(device)들은 PAN 코디네이터(coordinator)로부터 부여받은 Sequence Number를 기반으로 순차적으로 데이터를 전송한다. 별도의 Polling 패킷(packet)이 없고 단일방향성(unidirectional)으로 동작하므로, 고전적인 Polling 기법의 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있어 보다 효율적으로 채널을 사용할 수 있다. 또한 GTS보다 많은 수의 장치가 비경쟁 데이터 전송 서비스를 받을 수 있으며, 서비스 지연 시간을 줄일 수 있다.

대부분의 상업적 디지털카메라들은 가격과 크기를 줄이기 위해서 Color Filter Array (CFA)를 사용한다. CFA를 통과한 이미지는 픽셀 당 오직 단일 칼라정보만 가지고 있기 때문에, 정보를 잃어버린 나머지 2개의 색 정보를 얻기 위해서 보간을 해야하는데 이 과정을 디모자이킹 (Demosaicing) 이라고 부른다. 수 많은 디모자이킹 알고리듬 방법들이 제안되어 왔음에도 불구하고, 여전히 무지개 형태의 에러 (rainbow artifact) 와 지퍼 모양의 에러 (zippering artifact) 의 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 향상된 가중치 함수를 이용하여 주변 픽셀값들의 경향성을 이용한 디모자이킹 알고리듬 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과, 우리가 제안한 알고리듬은 주관적 화질뿐만 아니라 객관적 화질에서도 기존의 방법들보다 뛰어다나는 것을 보여준다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of recycled materials, namely, shredded scrap tire (SST), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and class C fly ash (CFA) on compressive and tensile strength of concrete. Either SST or RAP was used as an aggregate replacement and class C fly ash (CFA) as Portland cement replacement for making concrete. A total of two types of SST and RAP, namely, chips and screenings were used for replacing coarse and fine aggregates, respectively. A total of 26 concrete mixes containing different replacement level of SST or RAP and CFA were designed. Using the mix designs, cylindrical specimens of concrete were prepared, cured in water tank, and tested for unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and indirect tensile strength (IDT) after 28 days. Experimental results showed aggregate substitution with SST decreased both UCS and IDT of concrete. On the contrary, replacement of aggregate with RAP improved UCS values. Specimens containing RAP chips resulted in concrete with higher IDT values as compared to corresponding specimens containing RAP screenings. Addition of 40% CFA was found to improve UCS values and degrade IDT values of SST containing specimens. Statistical analysis showed that IDT of SST and RAP can be estimated as approximately 13% and 12% of UCS, respectively.

다지털 카메라의 mosaicked image는 Bayer CFA 등의 센서를 통해 획득되며 full resolution의 컬러 영상을 얻기 위해서는 demosaicking이라는 과정이 요구된다. 그러나 시그널이 센서를 통과할 때 noise가 더해지게 되기 때문에 이를 제거하기 위한 denoising process는 demosaicking 과정 전단에 반드시 고려되어야 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 demosaicking과 denoising을 분석하고 효율적으로 noise를 제거하는 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 noiseless CFA에서 얻어지는 필터를 수정함으로서 얻어지며, 낮은 연산량과 함께 만족할만한 성능을 보여준다. CPSNR, SCIELAB, FSIM로 대표되는 화질 측정 방식들은 제안하는 알고리듬이 다양한 레벨의 noise를 효율적으로 제거한다는 것을 보여준다.

이 논문은 디지털 카메라의 싱글 센서에 있는 CFA의 다양한 패턴을 비교, 분석하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이미 널리 쓰이고 있는 패턴들이 있으나, 이미지들은 간혹 사람들이 실제로 보는 것보다 어둡게 나오거나 밝게 나오거나 또는 약간의 노이즈 현상, 불러 현상을 보여주기도 한다. 이를 개선하기 위해 아직도 많은 학자들이 패턴의 연구를 하고 있다. 이 연구는 Bayer패턴을 포함하여 7개의 패턴을 실험한다. 실험의 객관성을 위해 보간법은 선형방법으로 통일 하여 실험한다. 실험 결과는 패턴의 다양성이 이미지 향상에 크게 영향을 주지 않는다는 걸 보여주다. 그리고 패턴에 따라 그에 맞는 보간법이 필요하다는 것을 보여준다.

In this study, zeolitic materials at $Na_2CO_3/CFA$ ratio of 0.6 - 1.8 were synthesized from coal fly ash from a thermal power plant using a fusion/hydrothermal method. The zeolitic materials were found to have cubic crystals structure and X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks of Na-A zeolite by XRD and SEM analysis. When the zeolitic materials were synthesized from the coal fly ash, the XRD peaks of the zeolitic materials at $Na_2CO_3/CFA$ ratios of 0.9-1.8 had the same location as the XRD peaks of commercial Na-A zeolite. The XRD peaks of the Na-A zeolite ($Na_{12}Al_{12}Si_{12}O_{48}27.4H_2O$) were confirmed in the $2{\theta}$ in the range of 7.18-34.18. However, it was also confirmed that peaks of $CaCO_3$, an impurity inhibiting synthesis of Na-A zeolite from CaO and $Na_2CO_3$ in the coal fly ash, occurred in the XRD peaks of the zeolitic materials at $Na_2CO_3/CFA$ ratio of 1.5-1.8. The crystallinities of the zeolitic materials tended to increase gradually within the $Na_2CO_3/CFA$ ratio range of 0.6-1.8.

Objectives : Daeganghwal-Tang(DGHT) is one of the prescriptions used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA) in oriental medicine. The present study aimed to examine the analgesic effect of DGHT on a rat model of CFA-induced arthritis, and the relations between DGHT-induced analgesia and endogenous nitric oxide(NO) and inducible NO synthase(iNOS)/neuronal NOS. Methods : CFA-induced arthritis model used to test the effect of DGHT was chronic pain model. After the induction of arthritis, rats subsequently showed a reduced stepping force of the affected limb for at least the next 18 days. the reduced stepping force of the limb was presumably due to a painful knee. DGHT dissolved in water was orally administrated. After the treatment, behavioral tests measuring stepping force were periodically conducted during the next 4 hours. Results : DGHT produced significant improvement of stepping force of the hindlimb affected by the arthritis lasting at least 2 hours. DGHT produced the improvement of stepping force of the affected hindlimb in a dose-dependent manner. Both NO production and nNOS/iNOS protein expression which is increased by arthritis were suppressed by DGHT administration. Conclusions : The data suggest 1) that DGHT produces a potent analgesic effect on the chronic knee arthritis pain model in the rat and 2) that DGHT-induced analgesia modulate endogenous NO through the suppression of nNOS/iNOS protein expression.
