Bee pollen is one of many types of alternative remedies, and it has been used for a long time throughout the world. It has numerous health effects, including antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, immune modulation, enhanced cell proliferation, and even anti-carcinogenic effects. This study was designed to elucidate the effects of bee pollen on benign prostatic hyperplasia in rodents. For this experiment, we used nano-sized bee pollen produced through wet-grinding technology, thereby the extraction efficiency of the active ingredients in the bee pollen was significantly enhanced. First, We found that nano-sized bee pollen significantly reduced the size of prostates enlarged by chronic testosterone administration. In addition, nano-sized bee pollen significantly reduced the plasma concentration of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Interestingly, nano-sized bee pollen did not reduce the testosterone-induced increase in the plasma concentration of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$). The beneficial effects of nano-sized bee pollen in reducing both the size of the prostate and the plasma concentration of PSA was comparable to that of dutasteride. Finally, nano-sized bee pollen did not cause damage in LNCaP cells which are androgen-sensitive human prostate adenocarcinoma cells. Together, these data indicate that nano-sized bee pollen may be able to be used as a good alternative remedy for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This paper proposed a new algorithm for binarization and removal of noises in color images with characters and pictures. Binarization was performed by threshold which had computed with color-relationship relative to the number of pixel in background and character candidates and pre-threshold for dividing of background and character candidates in input images. The pre-threshold has been computed by the histogram of R, G, B In respect of the images, while background and character candidates of input images are divided by the above pre-threshold. As it is possible that threshold can be dynamically decided by the quantity of the noises, and the character images are maintained and the noises are removed to the maximum. And, in this study, we made the noise pattern table as a result of analysis in noise pattern included in the various color images aiming at removal of the noises from the Images. Noises included in the images can figure out Distribution by way of the noise pattern table and pattern matching itself. And then this Distribution classified difficulty of noises included in the images into the three categories. As removal of noises in the images is processed through different procedure according to the its classified difficulties, time required for process was reduced and efficiency of noise removal was improved. As a result of recognition experiments in respect of extracted characters in color images by way of the proposed algorithm, we conformed that the proposed algorithm is useful in a sense that it obtained the recognition rate in general documents without colors and pictures to the same level.

The patterns on the proteolysis of mussel protein using a commercial enzyme preparation were investigated. The best one among six commercial enzyme preparations for the manufacture of mussel extract was Corolase PP, based on the degree of hydrolysis (DH). When the raw mussel paste, without water addition, was adjusted to pH 6.5, added 0.1% (w/w dry basis) of Corolase PP. and reacted at $50^{\circ}C$ for four hours, it reached the maximum value of DH (79%). The precooking of raw mussel decreased the efficiency of extraction and hydrolysis of the protein, due to the inactivation of the autolytic enzymes contained in the mussel. During the course of proteolysis, major free amino acids such as glycine, alanine, glutamic acid and lysine, representing a characteristic brothy taste of mussel were replaced with free hydrophobic amino acids including valine, methionine, isoleucine, and leucine. The electrophoretic pattern and HPLC-GPC pattern of mussel protein hydrolysates during the hydrolysis were observed and also discussed.

Through the output of brain waves during muscle operation, this paper checks whether it is possible to find characteristic vectors of brain waves that are capable of dividing left and right movements by extracting brain waves in specific areas of muscle signal output that include the motion of the left and right muscles or the will of the user within EEG signals, where uncertainties exist considerably. A typical surface EMG and noninvasive brain wave extraction method does not exist to distinguish whether the signal is a motion through the degree of ionization by internal neurotransmitter and the magnitude of electrical conductivity. In the case of joint and motor control through normal robot control systems or electrical signals, signals that can be controlled by the transmission and feedback control of specific signals can be identified. However, the human body lacks evidence to find the exact protocols between the brain and the muscles. Therefore, in this paper, efficiency is verified by utilizing the results of application of CSP (Common Spatial Pattern) filter to verify that the left-hand and right-hand signals can be extracted through brainwave analysis when the subject's behavior is performed. In addition, we propose ways to obtain data through experimental design for verification, to verify the change in results with or without filter application, and to increase the accuracy of the classification.

According to the agreement on WTO/TBT, we are under the situation to adopt international standard (ISO standard) as a national standard if it exists. However, in case of environmental area, it is a domestic legal obligation to use Korean environmental standard method(KESM) for analyzing various contaminants. Therefore it is necessary to assess the comparability between KEM and ISO standard prior to apply ISO standard to soil conservation law in Korea. The main purpose of this study is to assess the comparability of both methods for analyzing heavy metals in soil. We looked over various aspects like pre-treatment, calibration curve range, detection wavelength, soil organic matter content and so on. Apparently, the procedure of both methods is almost same. However in details, both methods are different in stationary time before aqua-regia extraction using reflux system, calibration curve range for Cu, Pb, Ni and measuring wavelength for Pb. According to the results of comparison test, the results were significantly different when the different calibration range was used. In case that all the extracts independent of methods were reanalyzed with the same calibration range of each method, both methods showed statistically same results. Other conditions like different stationary time, measuring wavelength of AAS and soil organic matter content did not have any influence on the analytical result. Therefore, we suggest to extend the calibration curve range to 0~8 mg/L which is used in KS I ISO standard(Korean standard related with environment which is translation version of ISO standard without any technical change). In case of $Cr^{6+}$, the results showed no significant differences between two methods even though the pretreatment, instrumentation and other analysis conditions were different. In addition to UV/Visble spectrometry of KESM for soil contamination, we suggest to adopt ion chromatography of ISO 15192(US EPA method 7199) for analyzing $Cr^{6+}$ with the consideration of laboratory work efficiency.

GaN계 물질 기반의 광 반도체는 조명 및 디스플레이 관련 차세대 광원으로 많은 관심을 받고 있고, 효율 증대를 위한 에피, 소자 구조 및 패키지 등의 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 투명 전극을 이용한 광 추출 효율의 증가에 대한 연구는 전체 외부양자효율을 증가시키는 중요한 기술로 각광을 받고 있다. 이러한 투명전극은 가시광 영역의 빛을 투과하면서도 전기 전도성을 갖는 기능성 박막 전극으로 산화인듐주석이 널리 사용되고 있으나 인듐 가격의 상승과 산화인듐주석 전극 자체의 크랙 특성으로 인하여 많은 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 GaN계 발광 다이오드에 있어서 산화인듐주석 투명 전극의 대체 물질들에 대한 많은 연구들이 활발하게 이루어 지고 있다. 특히, 투명전극 층으로 사용되는 산화인듐주석 대체 박막으로 산화아연에 대한 연구가 각광을 받고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 발광 다이오드의 효율 증가를 위해 발광소자에 표면 요철 구조 형성과 나노구조체 형성 등 박막 표면의 구조 변화를 통한 광추출효율 향상에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산화아연 박막을 투명전극으로 사용하였으며 광추출효율 향상을 위해 산화아연 투명전극에 패터닝을 형성하고, 그 위에 산화아연 나노막대를 형성하여 기존에 사용하던 산화아연 투명전극보다 우수한 추출효율 및 전류 퍼짐 향상 구조를 제안하고 이에 따른 LED 소자의 광추출효율 향상을 연구하였다. 금속유기화학증착법을 이용하여 c-면 사파이어 기판에 n-GaN, 5주기의 InGaN/GaN 다중양자우물 구조 및 p-GaN의 간단한 LED구조를 성장한 후, p-GaN층 상부에 원자층 증착법을 이용하여 투명전극인 산화아연 박막을 60 nm 두께로 증착하였다. 산화아연 투명전극만 증착한 LED-A와 이후 0.1% HCl을 이용한 습식식각을 통하여 산화아연 투명전극에 육각형 모양의 패턴을 형성한 LED-B, 그리고 LED-B위에 전기화학증착법을 이용하여 $1.0{\mu}m$의 산화아연 나노 막대를 증착한 LED-C를 제작하였다. LED-A, -B 및 -C에 대한 표면 구조는 SEM이미지를 통하여 확인한 바 산화아연의 육각 패턴과 그 상부에 산화아연의 나노막대가 잘 형성된 것을 확인하였다. I-L 분석으로부터 패턴이 형성되지 않은 산화아연 투명전극으로만 구성된 LED-A에 비하여 산화아연 투명 전극에 육각 패턴을 형성한 LED-B의 전계 발광 세기가 더욱 큰 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 육각 패턴에 산화아연 나노막대를 성장시켜 융합구조를 형성한 LED-C에서는 LED-B와 -A보다 더 큰 전계 발광세기를 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 인가 전류가 고전류로 갈수록 LED-C의 발광세기가 더욱 강해지는 것으로 효율저하현상 또한 나노융합구조의 LED-C에서 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 기존 산화아연 투명전극에 육각형의 패턴 및 나노막대융합구조를 형성할 경우 전류퍼짐현상을 극대화 할 뿐 아니라, 추가적인 광추출효율 향상 효과에 의해 질화갈륨 기반LED 소자의 광효율이 증가된 것으로 판단된다.

Typically, closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring is mainly used for post-processes (i.e. to provide evidence after an incident has occurred), but by using a streaming video feed, machine-based learning, and advanced image recognition techniques, current technology can be extended to respond to crimes or reports of missing persons in real time. The multi-CCTV cooperation technique developed in this study is a program model that delivers similarity information about a suspect (or moving object) extracted via CCTV at one location and sent to a monitoring agent to track the selected suspect or object when he, she, or it moves out of range to another CCTV camera. To improve the operating efficiency of local government CCTV control centers, we describe here the partial automation of a CCTV control system that currently relies upon monitoring by human agents. We envisage an integrated crime prevention service, which incorporates the cooperative CCTV network suggested in this study and that can easily be experienced by citizens in ways such as determining a precise individual location in real time and providing a crime prevention service linked to smartphones and/or crime prevention/safety information.
