Some factors of wounding methods, solidifying agents, origin of leaf explants, cone. of acetosyring-one, and MES affecting regeneration and transformation by Agrobacterium tumefaciens were investigated to establish an efficient transformation system of apple. Wounding by cutting the leaves merely showed the tendency of regeneration and transformation with higher efficiency compared with that of wounding by non-traumatic forcep when carrying out co-cultivation for three days after bacterial inoculation. While examining the solidifying agents of medium with the combination of agar (A)＋Gelrit $e^{ }$ (G) in g. $L^{-1}$ , the higher concentration of Gelrit $e^{ }$ increased the efficiency of regeneration. However, there was no difference in the efficiency of transformation from the treatments of 2.5 G, 3.5 A+1.2 G, and 7.0 G. The origin of leaf explants showed no difference statistically in the efficiency of regeneration and transformation, but that from the shoots of proliferation medium showed the tendency with higher efficiency. The concentration of above 0.1 mM acetosyringon had an increase in the efficiency of regeneration and transformation and the concentration of 0.15 mM had the highest efficiency of transformation in the treatment of acetosyringone with different concentration. There was no effect of MES on regeneration and transformation.ion.

The heat exchanger tube in nuclear power plants is mainly fabricated from nonferromagnetic material such as a copper, titanium, and inconel alloy, but the moisture separator & reheater tube in the turbine system is fabricated from ferromagnetic material such as a carbon steel or ferrite stainless steel which has a good mechanical properties in harsh environments of high pressure and temperature. Especially, the moisture separator & reheater tubes, which use steam as a heat transfer media, typically employ a tubing with integral fins to furnish higher heat transfer rates. The ferromagnetic tube typically shows superior properties in high pressure and temperature environments than a nonferromagnetic material, but can make a trouble during the normal operation of power plants because the ferrous tube has service-induced damage forms including a steam cutting, erosion, mechanical wear, stress corrosion cracking, etc. Therefore, nondestructive examination is periodically performed to evaluate the tube integrity. Now, the remote field testing(RFT) technique is one of the solution for examination of ferromagnetic tube because the conventional eddy current technique typically can not be applied to ferromagnetic tube such as a ferrite stainless steel due to the high electrical permeability of ferrous tube. In this study, we have designed RFT probes, calibration standards, artificial flaw specimen, and probe pusher-puller necessary for field application, and have successfully carry out RFT examination of the moisture separator & reheater tube of nuclear power plants.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate dentin bonding by two different dentin bonding systems(DBS) using acetone based primer or adhesive [All Bond 2(AB2), One Step(OS)] when they were applied by wet or dry bonding technique. Morphology of resin-dentin interface and hybrid layer thickness(HLT) were investigated using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope(CLSM) and compared to shear bond strength(SBS). 72 extracted sound human molars were randomly divided into 4 groups of 18 teeth each - Group 1.(AW); AB2 by wet bonding. Group 2(AD); AB2 by dry bonding. Group 3.(OW); OS by wet bonding, Group 4.(OD); OS by dry bonding. In 6 teeth of each group, notch-shaped class V cavities(depth 2mm) were prepared on buccal and lingual surface at the cementoenamel juction(12 cavities per group). To obtain color contrast in CLSM observation, bonding resins of each DBS were mixed with rhodamine B and primer of AB2 was mixed with sodium fluorescein. Prepared teeth of each group were treated with AB2, OS, respectively according to the manufacturer's instructions except for dentin surface moisture treatment after acid etching. In group 1 and 3, after acid etching, excess water was removed with wet tissue(Kimwipes), leaving consistently shiny, visibly hydrated dentin surface. In group 2 and 4, dentin surface was dried for 10 seconds at 1 inch distance. The treated teeth were then packed with composite resin(${\AE}$litefil) and light-cured. 12 microscopic samples($60{\sim}80{\mu}m$ thickness) of each group were obtained after longitudinal section and grinding(Exakt cutting and grinding system). Morphological investigation of resin-dentin interface and HLT measurement using CLSM were done. For measurement of SBS, remaining 12 teeth of each group were flattened occlusally to remove all enamel and grinded to 500 grit SiC(Pedemet Specimen Preparation Equipment). After applying DBS on the exposed dentin surface, composite resin was applied in the shape of cylinder, which has 5mm diameter, 1.5mm thickness, and light cured. SBS was measured using Instron with a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min. It was concluded as follows, 1. HLT of AW(mean: $2.59{\mu}m$) was thicker than any other group, and followed by AD, OW, OD in descending order(mean; 2.37, 2.28, $1.92{\mu}m$). Only OD had statistically significant differences(p<0.05) to AW and AD. 2. There were intimate contact of resin and dentin at the interface in wet bonding groups, but gaps or irregular interfaces were observed in dry bonding groups. 3. The length, diameter, density of resin tags were various even in the same group without significant differences between groups and lots of adhesive lateral branches were observed. 4. There were no statistically significant difference of SBS between AB2 and OS, but SBS of wet bonding groups were significantly higher(p<0.05) than dry bonding groups. 5. There were no consistent relationships between HLT and SBS.

Since microalgae research started on late 18 century, they have been recognized as one of the most important bioresources used in bioindustry. Owing to the large efforts paid to industrial application of this microorganisms, their importance on food/feed and bioactive compounds has been further extending into the environmental research areas including alternative energy resources, mitigation of the carbon emission, and waste-water treatment. However, despite the importance on their industrial application, the fundamental research field related to the long-term preservation of microalgae culture has not received much attention. However, a less labor intensive and cost-efficient preservation technology enabling biologically active and stable microalgae-culture provides a key success factor in the biotechnological application. Therefore, this study investigated various cutting-edge microalgae cryopreservation technologies currently developed so far, mainly targeting Chlorophyta, which occupies the largest taxon in the classification system of microalgae. In addition, for the development of successful cryopreservation technique, the key factors such as temperature control effect and preservative effect during cryopreservation of microalgae culture were investigated. In addition, the problems with current preservation technology that is being used in Korean domestic biological resource banks and the international microalgal resource banks are described. According to our investigation, currently no standard method for long-term preservation of microalgae is available due to their various morphological and physiological characteristics. To overcome such issues, much more efforts on fundamental research area on the identification of specific biomarker used for microalgae taxonomical classification and further systemic approaches based on strain-specific cryopreservation methods needed.

The study is a hypothetical one about how to cut out a single emotion and activate it positively. The study could be used to treat literary therapy through AI. In this study, Hwang Jin-yi's Sijo "Long and Long Night of Winter Solstice Month" was studied. Because this work is very appropriate for the study of emotional cutting and interlinking. This counting method of treatment was used in this Sijo. Hwang Jin-yi's work cuts out "Long and Long Night of Winter Solstice Month" from the beginning. And they dream of regenerating their emotions by putting the time of their cut-off under the 'blanket of the spring breeze.' And in the end, the time of yearning unfolds to infinity, very finely. The extended hours of longing were added to the 'blanket of the spring breeze.' Spread out the times of yearning, it dreams of eternal love, the yearning for everlasting love. These literary acts are expected to lead to many changes in the human nervous system. This is the method of love that dreams of healing emotions in literature. Lover was left but not sent, lover's love amplifies feelings of joy. This method of emotional counting is believed to be very useful in the upcoming literary treatment by AI.

Nowadays we are not able to consider and imagine anything without taking into account what is called Artificial Intelligence. Even broadcasting media technologies could not be thought of outside this newly emerging technology of A.I.. Since the last part of 20th century, this technology seemingly is accelerating it's development thanks to an unbelievably enormous computational capacity of data information treatments. In conjunction with the firmly established worldwide platform companies like GAFA(Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple), the key cutting edge technologies dubbed NBIC(Nanotech, Biotech, Information Technology, Cognitive science) converge to change the map of the current civilization by affecting the human relationship with the world and hence modifying what is essential in humans. Under the sign of the converging technologies, the relatively recently coined concepts such as 'trans(post)humanism' are emerging in the academic sphere in the North American and Major European regions. Even though the so-called trans(post)human movements are prevailing in the major technological spots, we have to say that these terms do not yet reach an unanimous acceptation among many experts coming from diverse fields. Indeed trans(post)humanism as a sort of obscure term has been a largely controversial trend. Because there have been many different opinions depending on scientific, philosophical, medical, engineering scholars like Peter Sloterdijk, K. N. Hayles, Neil Badington, Raymond Kurzweil, Hans Moravec, Laurent Alexandre, Gilbert Hottois just to name a few. However, considering the highly dazzling development of artificial intelligence technology basically functioning in conjunction with the cybernetic communication system firstly conceived by Nobert Wiener, MIT mathematician, we can not avoid questioning what A. I. signifies and how it will affect the current media communication environment.

Milling is an important process that determines the quality of flour and is affected by milling machine type, scale, and tempering conditions. In addition, seed hardness is an important factor in determining the amount of tempering water and has been reported to affects flour yield and flour quality. There are reports that vitreousity is used as a measure to distinguish between soft and hard seeds, and the higher the vitreousity, the higher the protein contents. However, there is no established system for measuring viterousity of seeds and studies on the vitreousity and quality characteristics of flour are insufficient. Therefore, in this study, vitreousity, hardness, and milling characteristics were evaluated for 46 major domestic varieties, and their relationship was confirmed. After cutting the seeds using a seed cutter, vitreousity was measured, and seed hardness and flour particle size was measured using SKCS and PSI, respectively. As for the seed hardness index, 'Joa' was the lowest with 11.6, 'Yeonbaek' was the highest with 78.7. As for the milling yield, 'Saeol' had the lowest at 58.1%, and 'Hcjoong' had the highest at 88.6%. Seed hardness index and wheat flour production showed a high positively correlation, showing a similar to that of previous studies. Also, in flour particle size, 'Gobun' was the largest at 75.5 pm, and 'Joa' was the smallest at 43.1 um. Flour yield and flour particle size showed a high positively correlation. As a result of vitreousity, 'Hwangeumal' (55.2%), 'Saekeumkang' (59.1%), 'Baekkang' (52.3%), 'Goso' (44.6%), and 'Joa' (19.2%) were showed. Seed hardness and vitreousity showed a high positively correlation. Also as the vitreousity increased, the flour yield also showed a tendency to increase. In addition, as the seed hardness increased, particle size of the flour yield also showed a tendency to increase. It is thought that this result can be used as a measure to determine the quality of flour with vitreousity. However, further analysis of wheat varieties and methods of analyzing vitreousity are needed.

If the disc cutter is excessively worn or damaged, it becomes incapable of rotating and efficiently cutting rockmass. Therefore, it is important to appropriately manage the replacement cycle of the disc cutter based on its degree of wear. In general, the replacement cycle is determined based on the results of manual inspection. However, the manual measurements has issues related to worker safety and may lead to inaccurate measurement results. For these reasons, some foreign countries are developing the real-time measurement system of disc cutter wear by using different sensors. The ultrasonic sensors, eddy current sensors, magnetic sensors, and others are utilized for measuring the wear amount of disc cutters. In this study, the applicability of eddy current sensors for real-time measurement of wear amount in TBM disc cutters was evaluated. The distance measurement accuracy of the eddy current sensor was assessed through laboratory tests. In particular, the accuracy of eddy-current sensor was evaluated in various environmental conditions within the cutterhead chamber. In addition, the measurement accuracy of the eddy current sensor was validated using a 17-inch disc cutter.

AI is accepted not only in the private sector but also in the defense sector as a cutting-edge technology that must be introduced for the development of national defense. In particular, artificial intelligence has been selected as a key task in defense science and technology innovation, and the importance of data is increasing. As the national defense department shifts from a closed data policy to data sharing and activation, efforts are being made to secure high-quality data necessary for the development of national defense. In particular, we are promoting a review of the business budget system to secure data so that related procedures can be improved to reflect the unique characteristics of AI and big data, and research and development can begin with sufficient large quantities and high-quality data. However, there is a need to establish standardization and quality standards for structured data and unstructured data at the national defense level, but the defense department is still proposing standardization and quality standards for structured data, so this needs to be supplemented. In this paper, we propose an unstructured data set standard format for defense unstructured data sets, which are most needed in defense artificial intelligence, and based on this, we propose a standardization method for defense unstructured data sets.
