A study was carried out to observe the 1% aqueous safranine solution flow speed in longitudinal and radial directions of softwood Thuja orientalis L., diffuse-porous wood Gmelina arborea Roxb., and ring-porous wood Phellodendron amurense Rupr., Longitudinal flow was considered from bottom to top while the radial flow was considered from bark to pith directions. In radial direction, ray cells and in longitudinal direction tracheids, vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of liquid penetration speed at less than 12% moisture contents(MC). The variation of penetration speed for different species was observed and the reasons behind for this variation were explored. The highest radial penetration depth was found in ray parenchyma of T. orientalis but the lowest one was found in ray parenchyma of P. amurense. The average liquid penetration depth in longitudinal trachied of T. orientalis was found the highest among all the other cells. The penetration depth in fiber of G. arborea was found the lowest among the other longitudinal cells. It was found that cell dimension and also meniscus angle of safranine solution with cell walls were the prime factors for the variation of liquid flow speed in wood. Vessel was found to facilitate prime role in longitudinal penetration for hardwood species. The penetration depth in vessel of G. arborea was found highest among all vessels. Anatomical features like ray parenchyma cell length and diameter, end-wall pits number were found also responsible fluid flow differences. Initially liquid penetration speed was high and the nit gradually decreased in an uneven rate. Liquid flow was captured via video and the penetration depths in those cells were measured. It was found that even in presence of abundant rays in hardwood species, penetration depth of liquid in radial direction of softwood species was found high. Herein the ray length, lumen area, end wall pit diameter determined the radial permeability. On the other hand, vessel and fiber structure affected the longitudinal flow of liquids. Following a go-stop-go cycle, the penetration speed of a liquid decreased over time.

Despite the fact that porcine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are a practical study tool, in vitro long-term maintenance of these cells is difficult in a two-dimensional (2D) microenvironment using cellular niche or extracellular matrix proteins. However, a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment, similar to that enclosing the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, may improve in vitro maintenance of self-renewal. Accordingly, as a first step toward constructing a 3D microenvironment optimized to maintain porcine ESC self-renewal, we investigated different culture dimensions for porcine ICM-derived cells to enhance the maintenance of self-renewal. Porcine ICM-derived cells were cultured in agarose-based 3D hydrogel with self-renewal-friendly mechanics and in 2D culture plates with or without feeder cells. Subsequently, the effects of the 3D microenvironment on maintenance of self-renewal were identified by analyzing colony formation and morphology, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity, and transcriptional and translational regulation of self-renewal-related genes. The 3D microenvironment using a 1.5% (w/v) agarose-based 3D hydrogel resulted in significantly more colonies with stereoscopic morphology, significantly improved AP activity, and increased protein expression of self-renewal-related genes compared to those in the 2D microenvironment. These results demonstrate that self-renewal of porcine ICM-derived cells can be maintained more effectively in a 3D microenvironment than in a 2D microenvironment. These results will help develop novel culture systems for ICM-derived cells derived from diverse species, which will contribute to stimulating basic and applicable studies related to ESCs.

디스크 입출력 성능에 의해서 많은 영향을 받는 대용량의 데이타를 저장하고 처리하는 시스템에서 데이타를 다수의 병렬 디스크에 분산 시켜 저장한 후 질의 처리 시 디스크 접근 시간을 감소시키기 위한 노력들이 많이 행해졌다. 대부분의 이전 연구들은 데이타 공간이 정형의 그리드 형태로 분할되어 있다는 가정 하에 각 그리드 셀에 대해서 효과적으로 디스크 번호를 할당하는 알고리즘 연구에 치중하였다. 하지만, 그리드 형태의 분할은 저차원 데이타에 대해서는 효과적이지만 고차원 데이타에 대해서는 우수한 디스크 할당 알고리즘을 적용하더라도 디클러스터링에 의한 성능 향상을 이룰 수가 없다. 그 이유는 그리드 분할 방법은 데이타 분포 비율에 관계없이 전체 데이타 공간을 동일한 비율로 분할하기 때문이다. 고차원 데이타는 대부분 데이타 공간의 표면에 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 현상을 고려하여 데이타 표면으로부터 주기적으로 편중 분할하는 알고리즘을 이용한 새로운 디클러스터링 알고리즘을 제시한다. 다양한 실험 결과에 의하면 표면으로부터 주기적으로 편중 분할하는 방법은 차원이 증가할 수록, 또한 질의 크기가 증가할 수록 그리드 형태의 분할에 비해서 질의를 만족하는 데이타 블록의 수를 현저히 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 분할 결과 데이타 블록들의 배치(layout)를 이용한 디스크 번호 할당 알고리즘들을 제시하였다. 우리는 제시한 알고리즘의 성능을 보이기 위해서 다양한 차원과 디스크 수에 대해서 여러 가지 실험을 하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 디스크 할당 알고리즘은 절대 최적의 디스크 할당 방법에 비해서 추가적인 디스크 접근 횟수가 10번을 넘지 않는다. 디클러스터링 알고리즘의 응답 시간에 대해서 그리드 분할에 대해서 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있는 Kronecker sequence을 이용한 디스크 할당 알고리즘과 비교하였으며 차원이 높아짐에 따라 최대 14배까지 성능이 향상된다.

현재 전세계 배터리 시장은 이차전지 개발에 박차를 가하고 있는 실정이지만, 실제로 소비되는 배터리 중 가격 대비 성능이 좋고 재충전을 통해 다시 재사용이 가능한 납축전지(이차전지)의 소비가 광범위하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 납축전지는 복합적 셀(cell)을 묶어 하나의 배터리를 구성하여 활용하는 배터리의 특성상 하나의 셀에서 열화가 발생하면 전체 배터리의 손상을 가져와 열화가 빨리 진행되는 문제가 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구는 기계학습을 통한 배터리 상태 데이터를 학습하여 배터리 열화를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 실제 현장에서 배터리 상태를 지속적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 센서를 골프장 카트에 부착하여 실시간으로 배터리 상태 데이터를 수집하고, 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 기계학습 기법을 적용한 분석을 통해 열화 전조 현상에 대한 예측 모델을 개발하였다. 총 16,883개의 샘플을 분석 데이터로 사용하였으며, 예측 모델을 만들기 위한 알고리즘으로 의사결정나무, 로지스틱, 베이지언, 배깅, 부스팅, RandomForest를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 의사결정나무를 기본 알고리즘으로 사용한 배깅 모델이 89.3923%이 가장 높은 적중률을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 날씨와 운전습관 등 배터리 열화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 추가적인 변수들을 고려하지 못했다는 한계점이 있으나, 이는 향후 연구에서 다루고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 배터리 열화 예측 모델은 배터리 열화의 전조현상을 사전에 예측함으로써 배터리 관리를 효율적으로 수행하고 이에 따른 비용을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 잘 알려진 기저 세포암 검출을 위한 간단한 전처리 방법을 제안하였다. 전처리 과정은 half Hanning 윈도우와 함께 데이터를 클리핑하고 PCA(principal components analysis)를 이용하여 차원을 감소하였다. Half Hanning 윈도우는 $1650cm^{-1}$ 피크 부근의 크기를 낮춤으로써 음성 오류율을 줄여 분류 성능을 향상시켰다. 이 실험에서 사용한 MAP(maximum a posteriori), KNN (k-nearest neighbor), PNN(probabilistic neural network), MLP(multilayer perceptron), SVM(support vector machine)와 MSE(minimum squared error)의 분류결과는 제안한 방법이 효과적임을 입증하고 있다. KNN 분류방법은 216개 라만 스펙트럼에 대한 분류실험에서 민감도가 약 97.3%로 제안한 윈도우를 적용한 이 실험에서 기저 세포암 검출 성능이 가장 많이 개선되었다.

This study was desinged to investigate the effect of estrogen(Est) on the proliferating of progesterone(Prog) target cells. The spayed 13 rats(Wistar, approximately 300gm) were randomly alloted into 3 groups. One group was the control group and another Prog-treated group was injected with 1mg of Prog/rat/day for 2 consecutive days, and Estand Prog-treated group was injected intramuscularly with $17{\beta}$-estradiol $20{\mu}g/rat/day$ for 3 consecutive days and then with Prog for 2 days as above from 4th day. Rats were administrated intraperitoneally with bromodeoxyuridinc(Brdur,0.2mg/BW once) befero 2 hours of exanguination. In gross finding, the groups with more level of dimension and weight on the uterus were ordered as Est- and Prog-treated group, Prog-treated group and control group. The investigation by immunohistochemical methods using paraffin sections of the uteri was performed by using anti-Brdur antibody for labeling proliferating cells of Prog target cells. The groups with higher labeling index(LI) were ordered as Prog-treated grop, Est- and Prog- treated group and control group. The number of proliferating cells from Prog target cells in the rats were rather deceased by Prog injection following Est injection than prog injection only. The cell types with higher LI in the wall layers of all 3 groups were ordered as endometrial stromal cells, glandular epithelial cells, luminal epithelial cells, myometrial muscle cells and serosa methodelial cells, and the region with highest LI was functional zone of the endometrium and the region with lower LI was muscular layer and then those with lowest LI was serosa and also the considerable different LI from individual rat were observed.

Spotted cordierite occurs as the result of intrusion of Wolaksan Granite of Cretaceous age in the northern part of the Ogcheon Metamorphic Belt, forming a contact metamorphic zoning in accordance with the distance from the granite body: a cordierite-muscovite-biotite-quartz assemblage and the higher-temperature cordierite-biotite-quartz-(cummingtonite). These quartz-ubiquitous mineral assemblages identified in the cordierite spot seem to reflect Al-deficient condition of the protolith. TEM observations of textural relations between the cordierite and mica within the cordierite spot clearly reflect that cordierite was formed at the expense of micaceous matrix. A structure refinement of the poikiloblastic cordierite was performed by the Rietveld refinement method. Unit cell of the cordierite was determined to be as follows : lower-temperature type: a=17.1480(9)${\AA}$, b=9.7743(6)${\AA}$, c=9.3184(5)${\AA}$, V=1561.9(4)${\AA}$3, higher-temperature type: a=17.136(2)${\AA}$, b=9.751(1)${\AA}$, c=9.322(1)${\AA}$, V=1557.7(4)${\AA}$3. They show a remarkable difference in the unit cell dimension. The refinement results indicate that structural sites of lower-temperature cordierite are wholly occupied by appropriating ions. Compared to this, tetrahedral sites of the higher-temperature type exhibit an order/disorder ranging about 5-8% as the result of substitution between Si4+ and Al3+, except for T26 site occupied wholly by Al3+. These structural differences seem to be related to the formation temperatures of both cordierite types.

본 논문에서는 IMT-2000을 목표로 한 핸드셋에 상요할 수 있는 안테나로, 작고 가벼운 평면형 bowtie 안테나를 설계하고 해석하였다. MoM에 기반을 둔 Ensemble 시뮬레이션을 통해 공지주파수를 결정하는 설계 파라미터를 찾고, IMT-2000의 사용주파수에 맞추어 공진이 일어나도록 날개각의 설계 파라미터를 21$^{\circ}$로 고정한 안테나구조에서 Ensemble 심류레이션과 FDTD 수치해석을 이용하여 해석한다. FDTD 방법으로 해석을 하면, FDTD의 정확한 해에도 불구하고, 이 안테나는 상당한 오차를 가지게 되는데, 이유는 bowtie의 경사면 해석에서 계단형 근사 오차로 인한 것이다. 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위해 안테나의 경사면이 있는 각 셀 안에서 도체면/자유공간이 나뉘는 영역을 네 부분으로 구분해 자유공간이 차지하는 면적과 길이의 값을 적용하여 그 셀에서 계산되는 H-field의 값을 수정하는 새로운 알고리즘을 적용하여 보다 정확한 해를 얻는다. 즉, 기본 FDTD에서 반사손실의 협대역 특성이 수정 FDTD 알고리즘으로, 인해, 목적에 맞는 주파수 대역까지 확장될 수 있다.

Purpose: To study histomorphological and immunohistochemical patterns of gastro-intestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A total of 29 GIST cases from Hospital Tuanku Ja'afar, Seremban, were studied retrospectively over a period of 10 years from January 2002 to December 2011. Patient demographic data like age, sex and etnicity were collected. Tumour characteristics like site, maximum dimension and specimen type were analysed. Evaluation was according to established criteria into very low, low, intermediate and high-risk categories. Immunohistochemical characteristics were also analysed. Results: The mean age of patients was 59.7 years. Males (59%) were found to be more commonly affected than females (41%). The Chinese (45%) were commonly affected than Malays (41%), and Indians (10%). The most common symptom was pain in the abdomen (13.8%). More than half of the cases were seen in stomach (53%). The tumour size ranged from 1.5 cm to 17 cm with a mean of 6.94cm. Microscopic findings revealed that the spindle cell type was the most common (76%). It was observed that the majority of the cases (48%) were categorised in the intermediate risk group. Immunohistochemical staining showed positivity for CD117 (78.6%), CD34 (71.4%), vimentin (86.2%), S-100 (27.6%), SMA (35.7%), PKC THETA (46.4%) and PDGRFA (67.9%).

Cyanobacteria are distributed worldwide, and many new cyanobacterial species are discovered in tropical region. The Nostoc-like genus Amazonocrinis has been separated from the genus Nostoc based on polyphasic methods. However, species diversity within this genus remains poorly understood systematically because only one species (Amazonocrinis nigriterrae) has been described. In this study, two novel strains (NUACC02 and NUACC03) were isolated from moist rice field soil in Thailand. These two strains were characterized using a polyphasic approach, based on morphology, 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis, internal transcribed spacer secondary structure and ecology. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that the two novel strains formed a monophyletic clade related to the genus Amazonocrinis and were distant from the type species A. nigriterrae. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (<98.1%) between novel strains and all other closely related taxa including the Amazonocrinis members exceeded the cutoff for species delimitation in bacteriology, reinforcing the presence of a new Amazonocrinis species. Furthermore, the novel strains possessed unique phenotypic characteristics such as the presence of the sheath, necridia-like cells, larger cell dimension and akinete cell arrangement in long-chains and the singularity of D1-D1', Box-B, V2, and V3 secondary structures that distinguished them from other Amazonocrinis members. Considering all the results, we described our two strains as Amazonocrinis thailandica sp. nov. in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants.
