Bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous solution was measured using HPLC technique, which was established by acetonitrile analysis and KDP solution analysis methods. In these experiments the decomposition characteristics of BPA were compared using the ozone alone, ozone/pH 10, and ozone/hydrogen peroxide processes. About 70% of 10 mg/L of BPA was removed during 60 min by the ozone alone process, while 10 mg/L of BPA was completely removed by the ozone/pH 10 and ozone/hydrogen peroxide processes in 40 min and 60 min, respectively. The final decomposition efficiency drawn from results of TOC and HPLC analyses showed that the ozone/hydrogen peroxide process was the best among them, whereas the concentrations of TOC and reaction intermediates when using the ozone/pH 10 process were higher than those of the ozone alone process after 60 min of reaction. The ozone/hydrogen peroxide process was the most efficient among them when oxidizing organic carbons in water to $CO_2$ and $H_2O$.

Polly-pigs technique was developed to remove internal rusts and scales from service pipes in the building by using Polly-pigs that were used as various applications in conventional plant pipelines. Results of cleaning experiments on 15mm GSP(Galvanic Steel Pipe) showed that hydraulic cross sectional area was more increased from 3.5% to 15.4% for straight part or elbow parts of several test pieces. Results of optical analysis also showed that rust and scale removed mostly by KDP series(only consisted of Polyurethane) were outside red colored scale ($Fe_2O_3{\cdot}H_2O$), and there was a limitation to the removal of black colored scale($Fe_2O{\cdot}nH_2O$) that was below red colored scale. But it was evaluated that KDPS series coated fine sand with KDP series could remove not only red colored scale but also black colored scale and more increase hydraulic cross sectional areas of 15mm GSP old service pipes from 13.0% to 17.9%. After KDPS series cleaning, hydraulic cross sectional areas of them were recovered from 95.9% to 99.5%. Turning force of Polly-pigs was largely improved by the effect of Helical guide vane(Cleaning v/v) and Rotating wing(Pigs), and the number of pig rotating also more increased sixteen times compared with conventional cleaning system without Helical guide vane and Rotating wing. After KDPC series cleaning of 100mm GSP old service pipes that hydraulic cross sectional areas were 90%, hydraulic cross sectional areas were almost recovered perfectly like new service pipes. Additionally pressure necessary to run Polly-pigs m 100mm GSP was lower and cleaning efficiency also was higher than 15mm GSP cleaning. Therefore it was thought that as the diameter of pipe was more increased, pressure necessary to clean service pipes was more decreased and cleaning efficiency was more increased in Polly-pigs cleaning.

The Q-switching oscillator of TE $M_{00}$ mode was constructed in order to improve the properties of energy focusing and amplification, and prevent laser materials from breakdown. The Q-switching was done by means of electro-optical effect using Glan prism and KDP Pockels cell. Sharp laser pulse of risetime-1 ns and variable pulse width 2-10 ns was obtained from Q-switching laser pulse by PTM method using a laser triggered spark gap (LTSG), Glan prism and Pockels cell. A single ultra-short pulse (picosec order in pulse width) was obtained from mode-locked pulse train in combination of a mode-locked oscillator using saturable dye cell with pulse shaping system using PTM method.d.

본 연구는 KICT X밴드 이중편파 레이더 관측자료를 이용하여, 우리나라 기상조건에서 X밴드 이중편파 레이더 $K_{DP}$ 추정 기법에 따른 강우강도 추정의 차이를 비교 검토하였다. 이중편파 레이더로 $K_{DP}$ 기반의 정확도 높은 강우강도 분포 추정에 있어, $K_{DP}$ 추정의 방법에 따라서 추정된 $K_{DP}$의 공간 분포는 상당한 차이를 보이게 된다. 추정 기법만을 볼 때, 이는 주로 ${\Phi}_{DP}$로부터 기울기를 산정하는 방법과 기울기를 산정하는 윈도우의 크기에서 차이가 발생한다. 윈도우의 크기는 일반적으로 호우의 강도에 따라 달리 적용하는 것이 $R-K_{DP}$ 관계에서 보다 정확도가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. $K_{DP}$ 산정 기법에 따른 차이 검토를 위해 기울기 산정 기법, 필터(FIR) 상수 및 ${\Phi}_{DP}$ 기울기 산정을 위한 윈도우 크기에 따른 강수 추정의 정확도를 검토하였다.

This study suggests the partition algorithm for updating the discovered association rules in large database, because a database may allow frequent or occasional updates, and such update may not only invalidate some existing strong association rules, but also turn some weak rules into strong ones. the Partition algorithm updates strong association rules efficiently in the whole update database reuseing the information of the old large itemsets. Partition algorithms that is suggested in this study scans an incremental database in view of the fact that it is difficult to find the new set of large itemset in the whole updated database after an incremental database is added to the original database. This method of generating large itemsets is different from that of FUP(Fast Update) and KDP(Kim Dong Pil)

Periodontal disease, a form of chronic inflammatory bacterial infectious disease, is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated in periodontal disease and widely studied for its role in the pathogenesis of CVD. A previous study demonstrating that periodontopathic P. gingivalis is involved in CVD showed that invasion of endothelial cells by the bacterium is accompanied by an increase in cytokine production, which may result in vascular atherosclerotic changes. The present study was performed in order to further elucidate the role of P. gingivalis in the process of atherosclerosis and CVD. For this purpose, invasion of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) by P. gingivalis 381 and its isogenic mutants of KDP150 ($fimA^-$), CW120 ($ppk^-$) and KS7 ($relA^-$) was assessed using a metronidazole protection assay. Wild type P. gingivalis invaded HASMCs with an efficiency of 0.12%. In contrast, KDP150 failed to demonstrate any invasive ability. CW120 and KS7 showed relatively higher invasion efficiencies, but results for these variants were still negligible when compared to the wild type invasiveness. These results suggest that fimbriae are required for invasion and that energy metabolism in association with regulatory genes involved in stress and stringent response may also be important for this process. ELISA assays revealed that the invasive P. gingivalis 381 increased production of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$ and the chemotactic cytokines (chemokine) IL (interleukin)-8 and monocyte chemotactic (MCP) protein-1 during the 30-90 min incubation periods (P<0.05). Expression of RANTES (regulation upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4, a pattern recognition receptor (PRR), was increased in HASMCs infected with P. gingivalis 381 by RT-PCR analysis. P. gingivalis infection did not alter interferon-$\gamma$-inducible protein-10 expression in HASMCs. HASMC nonspecific necrosis and apoptotic cell death were measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and caspase activity assays, respectively. LDH release from HASMCs and HAMC caspase activity were significantly higher after a 90 min incubation with P. gingivalis 381. Taken together, P. gingivalis invasion of HASMCs induces inflammatory cytokine production, apoptotic cell death, and expression of TLR-4, a PRR which may react with the bacterial molecules and induce the expression of the chemokines IL-8, MCP-1 and RANTES. Overall, these results suggest that invasive P. gingivalis may participate in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, leading to CVD.

As the occurrences of flash floods have increased due to climate change, faster and more accurate precipitation observation using X-band radar has become important. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment installed two dual-pol X-band radars at Samcheok and Uljin. The radar data used in this study were obtained from two different elevation angles and composed to reduce the shielding effect. To obtain quantitative rainfall, quality control (QC), K_DP retrieval, and Hybrid Surface Rainfall (HSR) methods were sequentially applied. To improve the accuracy of the quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) of the X-band radar, we retrieved parameters for the relationship between rainfall rate and specific differential phase, which is commonly called the R-K_DP relationship; hence, an empirical approach was developed using multiple rain gauges for those two radars. The newly suggested relationship, R = 27.4K^0.81_DP, slightly increased the correlation coefficient by 1% more than the relationship suggested by the previous study. The root mean square error significantly decreased from 3.88 mm/hr to 3.68 mm/hr, and the bias of the estimated precipitation also decreased from -1.72 mm/hr to -0.92 mm/hr for overall cases, showing the improvement of the new method.

The DevSR (DosSR) two-component system, which is a major regulatory system involved in oxygen sensing in mycobacteria, plays an important role in hypoxic induction of many genes in mycobacteria. We demonstrated that overexpression of the kinase domain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) PknB inhibited transcriptional activity of the DevR response regulator in Mycobacterium smegmatis and that this inhibitory effect was exerted through phosphorylation of DevR on Thr180 within its DNA-binding domain. Moreover, the purified kinase domain of Mtb PknB significantly phosphorylated RegX3, NarL, KdpE, TrcR, DosR, and MtrA response regulators of Mtb that contain the Thr residues corresponding to Thr180 of DevR in their DNA-binding domains, implying that transcriptional activities of these response regulators might also be inhibited when the kinase domain of PknB is overexpressed.

이중편파 강우레이더는 차등반사도, 차등위상차, 비차등위상차 등 다양한 변수를 관측하여 호우의 공간적 규모, 호우를 구성하는 강수입자, 호우의 이동방향 등 종합적인 강우 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 이중편파레이더를 이용하면 단일편파레이더에 비해 보다 정량적인 강수 추정이 가능하다. 일반적으로 이중편파 강우레이더의 강우추정 관계식은 DSD 및 강우입자 모형을 기반으로 물리적으로 유도된다. 그러나 DSD는 호우 사상에 따라 그 양상이 다르며, 동일 호우 사상 내에서도 시공간적으로 변화가 크다. 이러한 DSD에 내포된 변동성은 결과적으로 레이더 강우에 큰 불확실성을 유발하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 확률대응법을 이용하여 이중편파레이더의 강우추정 관계식을 추정하는 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 확률대응법은 실시간으로 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수를 추정하는 기법으로 단일편파레이더의 Z-R 관계식에 적용된 바 있다. 이러한 확률대응법을 이용하면 시공간적으로 변하는 DSD 등 호우사상의 개별적인 특징을 반영하여 호우사상별 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수를 실시간으로 결정할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이중편파레이더의 강우추정 관계식 중 R(KDP, Zdr), R(Zh, Zdr) 관계식을 위주로 매개변수를 이변량 확률대응법을 통해 추정하고, 기존의 강우추정 알고리즘 및 관계식의 레이더 강우 추정 결과와 비교를 통해 적용성을 평가하였다.
