  • KOMPSAT-2 was successively launched on July 28,06. She carries Fine Spatial Resolution Sensor with three channels. It is 4m monochromatic and 1m panchromatic. The main purposes would derive fine urban map and digital elevation model(DEM).Therefore we extend to coastal environment monitoring using the adjacent effect of radiation due to an interaction of radiation between heterogeneous surface and atmosphere. With data analysis of ASTER on TERA, which is 15m resolution in visible and near infrared wavelengths, we found atmospheric aerosols were always large. Note that data analysis was limited in Nagoya bay, Lake Tahoe, California & La Pozuelos, La Picasa, Argentina. Thus this time we expect data analyses around isolated island and peninsula in west and south coast of Korea.

  • In dialogue with the concepts of State of Emergency and Bare Life developed by Giorgio Agamben (1998), this paper explores the novel La transmigración de los cuerpos (2013) by Yuri Herrera, to see how the author builds a narrative space where the logic of the state of emergency is a detonator of the fictional plot. This analysis underlines how Herrera articulates a poetics of precariousness and violence to draw a map of desolation and despair recognizable through the cardinal points of death, fear, corruption and an agonizing will to survive. In this unnamed universe the characters' bodies are subject to violence from the State and from criminals.

  • The skin displays a highly active metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Dietary deficiency of linoleic acid (LA), an 18-carbon (n-6) PUFA, results in characteristic scaly skin disorder and excessive epidermal water loss. Although arachidonic acid (AA), a 20-carbon (n6) PUFA, is metabolized via cyclooxygenase pathway into predominantly prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ and $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$, the metabolism of AA via the 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) pathway, which is very active in skin epidermis and catalyzes the transformation of M into predominantly 15S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15S-HETE). Additionally, the 15-LOX also metabolizes the 18-carbon LA into 13S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13S-HODE), respectively. Interestingly, 15-LOX catalyzes the transformation of $dihomo-{\gamma}-linolenic$ acid (DGLA), derived from dietary gamma-linolenic acid, to 15S-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (15S-HETrE). These monohydroxy fatty acids are incorporated into the membrane inositol phospholipids which undergo hydrolytic cleavage to yield substituted-diacylglycerols such as 13S-HODE-DAG from 13S-HODE and 15S-HETrE-DAG from 15S-HETrE. These substituted-monohydroxy fatty acids seemingly exert anti-inflammatory/antiproliferative effects via the modulation of selective protein kinase C as well as on the upstream/down-stream nuclear MAP-kinase/AP-1/apoptotic signaling events.

  • Currently, Japan is undertaking a nationwide project to measure and map radioactive contamination around Fukushima, as part of the efforts to restore normalcy following the nuclear accident. The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) manages the Fukushima Environmental Safety Center, located approximately 20 km north of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Minamisōma City, Fukushima Prefecture. In collaboration with the JAEA, this study involved conducting comparison experiments and analyses with radiation detectors in high radiation environments, a challenging task in Korean environments. Environmental radiation surveys were conducted using three types of detectors: CZT, NaI(Tl), and LaBr3(Ce), across two contaminated areas. Dose rate values were converted using dose rate conversion factors for each detector type, and dose rate maps were subsequently created and compared. The detectors yielded similar results, demonstrating their feasibility and reliability in high radiation environments. The findings of this study are expected to be a crucial reference for enhancing the verification and supplementation of procedures and methods in future radiation measurements and mobile surveys in high-radiation environments, using these three types of radiation instruments.

  • 많은 학자들은 자료의 특성을 분석함으로써 장래를 예측하고자 끊임없이 노력하여 왔으며, 이는 아마도 확정론적 방법과 추계학적 방법으로 크게 대별할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 예측을 하기 전에 먼저 자료의 특성을 파악하는 것은 모형 구축과 예측을 실행하는데 있어서 매우 중요하다 할 수 있다. 이러한 견지에서 최근 확정론적 방법으로 알려진 비선형 동역학적인 방법이 여러 분야에서 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 동역학 시스템을 해석하기 위하여 Poincare에 의해 제안된 기하학적 방법을 이용하여 기존에 알려진 자료들과 실제 수문자료에 대한 특성을 비교 분석하였으며 자료의 특성에 따른 예측가능성을 판정하였다. 즉, Poincare section을 통해 Poincare map을 구축함으로써 자료의 특성을 파악하여 자료의 선형, 비선형성 뿐만 아니라 자료가 어떤 모형에 적합한지를 판단할 수 있었다.

  • Green tea polyphenols (GTP) have been demonstrated to suppress tumorigenesis in several chemical-induced animal carcinogenesis models, and predicted as promising chemopreventive agents in human. Recent studies of GTP extracts showed the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the regulation of Phase II enzymes gene expression and induction of apoptosis. In the current work we compared the biological actions of five green tea catechins: (1) induction of ARE reporter gene, (2) activation of MAP kinases, (3) cytotoxicity in human hepatoma HepG2-C8 cells, and (4) caspase activation in human cervical squamous carcinoma HeLa cells. For the induction of phase IIgene assay, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG) potently induced antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated luciferase activity, with induction observed at 25 $\mu\textrm{m}$with EGCG. The induction of ARE reporter gene appears to be structurally related to the 3-gallate group. Comparing the activation of MAPK by the five polyphenols, only EGCG showed potent activation of all three MAPKs (ERK, JNK and p38) in a dose- and time-dependent manner, whereas EGC activated ERK and p38. In the concentration range of 25 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 1 mM, EGCG and ECG strongly suppressed HepG2-ARE-C8 cell-growth. To elucidate the mechanisms of green tea polyphenol-induced apoptosis, we measured the activation of an important cell death protein, caspase-3 induced by EGCG, and found that caspase-3 was activated in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Interestingly, the activation of caspase-3 was a relatively late event (peaked at 16 h), whereas activation of MAPKs was much earlier (peaked at 2 h). It is possible, that at low concentrations of EGCG, activation of MAPK leads to ARE-mediated gene expression including phase II detoxifying enzymes. Whereas at higher concentrations of EGCG, sustained activation of MAPKs such as JNK leads to apoptosis. These mechanisms are currently under investigation in our laboratory. As the most abundant catechin in GTP extract, we found that EGCG potently induced ARE-mediated gene expression, activated MAP kinase pathway, stimulated caspase-3 activity, and induced apoptosis. These mechanisms together with others, may contribute to the overall chemopreventive function of EGCG itself as well as the GTP.

  • 위성 원격 탐사에서는 센서 운영 환경으로 인하여 영상을 수집하는 동안 영상의 질 저하가 일어나며 이러한 영상의 질 저하는 관측된 자료로부터 유용한 정보를 확인하거나 추출하는 데 악 영향을 미치는 번짐 현상(blurring)과 잡음 (noise)을 야기시킨다. 특히 이러한 질 저하는 도시 지역과 같은 조밀한 구조를 가지는 scene으로부터 관측된 영상 자료의 분석에 더욱 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구는 고해상도 범색 영상 자료의 질 저하 현상을 개선시켜 영상이 포함하고 있는 복잡한 구조에 대한 자세한 분석의 정확성을 제고하기 위한 다중 단계 영상 복원 과정을 제안한다. 본 연구는 질 저하 현상을 모형화 하기 위해 Gaussian 가산 잡음과 Markov random field로 정의되는 공간적 연결성, 중심 화소와 이웃 화소 간의 거리에 비례하는 번짐을 가정하였다. 본 연구는 잡음 완화와 번짐 제거를 위해 Point-Jacobian Iteration Maximum A Posteriori (PJI-MAP) 추정 법을 제안한다. 그리고 화소 연결 후 지역 확장을 통한 영상 분할을 사용하였다. 본 연구는 지역 확장을 위하여 동질성과 대조성을 동시에 고려하는 비유사 계수를 제안하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모의 자료 실험을 통하여 정량적 평가를 실시하였으며 2 개의 고해상도 범색 영상 자료에 대해 적용하여 복원의 효과에 대해 실험하였다. 사용된 원격 탐사 자료는 1 m급의 미국 LA지역에서 수집된 Dubaisat -2 자료와 0.7 m급의 한반도 대전 지역에서 수집된 KOMPSAT3 자료이다. 실험 결과는 제안된 다중 단계 복원 과정이 고해상 자료의 복잡한 구조의 자세한 분석에서 정확성 향상에 기여할 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

  • 제품계열 공학(Product Line Engineering, PLE)은 핵심 자산을 이용하여 어플리케이션을 경제적으로 개발하는 대표적인 재사용 기술이다. PLE는 프레임웍(Framework) 공학과 어플리케이션 공학으로 구성된다. 프레임웍 공학은 한 도메인 내에 있는 여러 패밀리 멤버들이 가지고 있는 공통적인 기능인 핵심 자산을 개발하는 단계이고, 어플리케이션 공학은 핵심 자산을 패밀리 멤버에 맞게 인스턴스화하여 어플리케이션을 생산하는 단계이다. PLE는 핵심 자산을 이용하여 특정 어플리케이션을 개발함으로써 재사용성이 높을 뿐 아니라 어플리케이션을 적은 시간과 노력으로 만들 수 있으므로 개발하는 효율성도 높다. 그러나, PLE 개발 절차에 대한 산출물 정의 및 템플릿 제공이 미비하여 개발자들이 PLE 프로세스를 따라 산출물을 만드는데 어려움이 있고, 산출물간 관계 정의가 충분하지 못하여 산출물간 일관성을 유지하기 힘들어 개발자들은 PLE 프로세스의 실용적 적용에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 rLE의 핵심단계인 프레임웍 공학 과정의 각 단계마다 도출되는 산출물의 메타모델을 정의하고 각 산출물간의 추적 관계를 추적성 맵(Traceabitliy Map)으로 나타내며 산출물간 추적 관계를 적용할 수 있는 지침을 제시한다 마지막으로, 추적성 맵에 대한 평가와 적용되는 방법을 제시한다.

  • Background: Ecosystem service mapping is an important tool for decision-making in landscape planning and natural resource management. Today, pollination service mapping is based on the Lonsdorf model (InVEST software) that determines the availability of nesting and floral resources for each land cover and estimates pollination according to the foraging range of the desired species. However, it is argued that the Lonsdorf model has significant limitations in estimating pollination in a landscape that can affect the results of this model. Results: This paper presents a free software, named PollMap, that does not have the limitations of the Lonsdorf model. PollMap estimates the pollination service according to a modified version of the Lonsdorf model and assumes that only cells within the flight range of bees are important in the pollination mapping. This software is produced for estimating and mapping crop pollination in agricultural landscapes. The main assumption of this software is that in the agricultural landscapes, which are dominated by forest and agriculture ecosystems, forest patches serve only as a nesting habitat for wild bees and the surrounding fields provide floral resources. Conclusion: The present study provided new software for mapping crop pollination in agricultural landscapes that does not have the limitations of the Lonsdorf model. We showed that the use of the Lonsdorf model for pollination mapping requires attention to the limitations of this model, and by removing these limitations, we will need new software to obtain a reliable mapping of pollination in agricultural landscapes.

  • Before analyzing the images taken with a Mosaic CCD imager, the images have to reach a state which can be used for further scientific analysis. The transformation of raw images into calibrated images is called data reduction. Transforming HEavely Light into Images (THELI) is a nearly fully automated reduction pipeline software (Erben et al., 2005). This pipeline works on raw images to remove instrumental signatures, mask unwanted signals, and perform photometric and astrometric calibration. Finally THELI constructs a deep co-added mosaic image and a weight map. In this poster, THELI data reduction procedures will be reviewed and the reduction process for raw images of seven X-ray bright groups, extracted from GEMS groups (Osmond & Ponman, 2004) obtained by the Wide Field Imager (WFI) mounted on MPG/ESO telescope at La Silla in March 2006 will be discussed.
