  • 생물학자가 단백질을 검색하고 분석하기 위해서는 2차원 젤 전기영동(2DGE : Two Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis) 실험을 해야 한다. 실험 결과는 2차원 영상이 생성된다. 2차원 영상에서 단백질 반점의 패턴 분석을 위해 2차원 젤 영상에 펼쳐진 단백질 반점들을 영상처리를 통해 분할하고, 대조 그룹의 단백질 패턴과 비교분석을 통해 밝히고자하는 단백질 반점을 찾아내야 한다. 단백질 반점을 분할하는 알고리즘에 있어서 기존에는 가우시안 함수를 적용하였지만, 최근 들어 형태학 분리개념에 의한 Watersheds 영역기반 분할(Watersheds region-based segmentation) 알고리즘을 활용하고 있다. 그러나 Watersheds 영역기반 분할 알고리즘은 크기가 큰 영상에서 원하는 영역을 신속하게 분할한다는 장점이 있지만, 영상 화소의 그레이 값이 연속적인 경우 실제 반점의 개수 에 비해 과다분할(over-segmentation)되거나 과소분할(under-segmentation)의 문제점을 안고 있다. 이는 마커(marker) 포인트의 설정에 의해 어느 정도 해결할 수 있지만 병합(merge)과 분할(split) 과정을 반복해야 한다. 본 논문은 Watersheds 기반 계층적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 마커 드리븐 Watersheds 영상분할의 문제점을 해결하고자 한다.

  • The high rate of corrosion of magnesium alloys makes it limited for industrial applications. Therefore, surface treatment is required to enhance their corrosion resistance. In our study, a chemical conversion coating for protecting the corrosion of the magnesium alloy, AZ31B, was prepared by using a phosphate-permanganate solution. The chemical conversion coating had a limited protection ability due to defects arising from cracks and pores in the coating layer. The sol-gel coating was prepared by using trimethoxymethylsilane (MTMS) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as precursors, and aluminum acetyl acetonate as a ring opening agent. The corrosion protection properties of sol-gel and conversion coatings in 0.35wt% NaCl solution were measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization test. The EIS results indicated that the resistance of the chemical conversion coating with the sol-gel coating was significantly improved through the sol-gel sealed phosphate-permanganate conversion coating. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that the sol-gel coating decreased the corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$). The SEM image showed that the sol-gel coating sealed conversion coating and improved corrosion protection.

  • Alignment of 2D-gel images of biological samples can visualize the difference of expression profiles and also inform us candidates of protein spots to be further analyzed. However, comparison of two proteome images between case and control does not always successfully identify differentially expressed proteins due to sample-to-sample variation. Because of poor reproducibility of 2D-gel electrophoresis, sample-by-sample variations and inconsistent electrophoresis conditions, multiple number of 2D-gel image must be processed to align each other to visualize the difference of expression profiles and to deduce the protein spots differentially expressed with reliability. Alignment of multiple 2D-Gel images and their clustering were carried out by applying various algorithms and statistical methods. In order to align multiple images, multiresolution-multilevel algorithm was found out to be suitable for fast alignment and for distorted images. Clustering of 12 different images implementing a k-means algorithm gives a phylogenetic tree of distance map of the proteomes. Microsoft Visual C++ was used to implement the algorithms in this work.

  • 본 연구는 시중에 판매되고 있는 다양한 성분과 제형의 손 소독제들을 전파 매질로 활용하여 초음파 검사를 진행한 후 획득한 영상을 평가·비교하여 기존의 초음파 젤의 대체 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구 방법으로는 점도가 낮은 liquid type을 제외한 gel type, cream type, foam type의 제형의 제품들을 선정해 에탄올 62% gel type 1개와 cream type 1개, 벤잘코늄 염화물 0.066% cream type 1개와 foam type 1개를 각각 초음파 매질로 사용하여, 축방향 & 측방향 분해능, 투과심도, probe와 phantom 사이의 공기층 형성유무에 관한 영상 평가를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 축방향 & 측방향 분해능 평가와 투과심도 평가에서 4개 실험군 모두 평가 기준에 적합한 결과가 나왔다. 그러나 foam type의 경우 분해능과 투과심도의 평가 기준에는 적합하지만 영상 평가 시 관찰 중심부를 제외한 양 측면부에서 어두운 음영으로 나타났다. 해당 실험을 통해 foam type을 제외한 나머지 3종의 손 소독제는 초음파 젤을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The new stick make-up product was studied by using a gel, which is a viscous complex formed with clay minerals, vitamins A and E and fluorinated liquid polymer with a 1500 molecular weight. The gel cannot be obtained with any random combination of clay minerals and the ingredients described above. It takes the sequential manufacturing method as follows to get this kind of gel. Firstly, clay minerals and liquid polymers have to be pre-mixed in order to saturate the liquid polymers with the clay minerals. Then the on-processed gel has to be finely crystallized. The clay minerals, which are the core elements for this gel, were used as a function of Binder & Buffer and liquid polymer was mixed together for the deterioration of the surface tension of each component and to form a functional film in the gel. This liquid polymer was combined with clay minerals because it is not miscible with most oils and solvents. Waxes have a function of keeping a solid status in the stick. We reduced the usage of waxes by putting clay minerals as buffer in the proportion of 0.5:1 with oil phase. Ceramide takes care of the skin when used regularly and maintains the skin's moisture. Vitamins A and E contribute to preventing skin aging by the activation of skin cells. We could get the stable viscous gel, which has about 80% oil phase using clay minerals and liquid polymer. The crystalline structures of gel were surface-chemically-analyzed using SEM and Image Analyzer and were thermodynamically analyzed using DSC. Surface tension test and softness were done by Rheometer. In the end, these characteristics were verified by consumer panel tests in Seoul, Daegeon and Pusan in Korea and Hokkaido, Osaka and Miyazaki in Japan with correlation to the climate.

  • Flexible dye-sensitized solar cells using binder free $TiO_2$ paste for low temperature sintering are developed. In this paste a small amount of titanium gel is added to a paste of $TiO_2$ nanoparticle. Analysis of titanium gel paste prepared at $150^{\circ}C$ shows that it has a pure anatase phase in XRD and mesoporous structure in SEM. The formation of the titanium gel 1-2 nm coated layer is confirmed by comparing the TEM image analysis of the titanium gel paste and the pristine paste. This coating layer improves the excited electron transfer and electrical contact between particles. The J-V curves of the organic binder DSSCs fabricated at $150^{\circ}C$ shows a current density of $0.12mA/cm^2$ and an open-circuit voltage of 0.47 V, while the titanium gel DSSCs improves electrical characteristics to $5.04mA/cm^2$ and 0.74 V. As a result, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the organic binder DSSC prepared at low temperature is as low as 0.02 %, but the titanium gel paste DSSCs has a measured effciency of 2.76 %.

  • 폴리비닐알코올(polyvinyl alcohol, PVA)젤을 온도가시화용 생체모의매질로 사용하기 위한 기초적인 정보를 얻기 위하여, PVA의 농도를 바꾸어가며 집속초음파에 의한 온도변화 특성을 조사하였다. 기본적인 음향 특성을 조사하기 위하여 PVA농도에 따른 음속, 감쇠계수, 밀도 등이 측정되었고 열역학적 특성인 열전도도, 열용량이 측정되었다. 30 ℃ 이상에서 변색되는 시온필름을 사용하여 집속초음파에 의해 상승되는 초점부근의 온도 변화의 범위를 관찰하였으며 기록된 이미지의 화상처리를 통하여 변색범위의 면적을 도출하였다. PVA의 농도가 2 wt%~16 wt%의 범위에서 증가할수록 젤 내부에서 30 ℃ 이상으로 상승하는 영역은 선형적으로 증가함을 보였고 집속초음파 트랜스 듀서에 인가하는 파워가 증가할수록 변색영역이 증가함을 확인하였다. 이들 결과는 유한요소법을 사용한 시뮬레이션 결과와도 좋은 일치를 보였다.

  • Conventional (SRS) and fractionated (FSRS) stereotactic radiosurgery necessarily require stringent overall target point accuracy and precision. We determine three-dimensional intracranial target point deviations (TPDs) in a whole treatment procedure using magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based polymer-gel dosimetry, and suggest a technique for overall system tests. TPDs were measured using a custom-made head phantom and gel dosimetry. We calculated TPDs using a treatment planning system. Then, we compared TPDs using mid bi-plane and three-dimensional volume methods with spherical and elliptical targets to determine their inherent analysis errors; finally, we analyzed regional TPDs using the latter method. Average and maximum additive errors for ellipses were 0.62 and 0.69 mm, respectively. Total displacements were 0.92 ${\pm}$ 0.25 and 0.77 ${\pm}$ 0.15 mm for virtual SRS and FSRS, respectively. Average TPDtotal at peripheral regions was greater than that at central regions for both. Overall system accuracy was similar to that reported previously. Our technique could be used as an overall system accuracy test that considers the real radiation field shape.
