In this paper, we developed an interactive animation authoring tool and developed the Android based interactive edutainment contents. The authoring tool for creating interactive animations developed in this paper is based on a graphical user interface, so users can easily create interactive animations. Interactive animation contents created by this authoring tool can be created as images and xml files so that they can be used directly on mobile devices. In order to increase learning efficiency for children, Android-based interactive edutainment electronic storybooks, which is implemented using this authoring tool, provided a recording function to listen to the parents' voice as well as an interactive action in which the characters move in accordance with the story line. We also provided a STEAM game that combines creativity and imagination with creative science and technology. Therefore, by creating the edutainment contents through the proposed authoring tool for interactive animation, various interactive animation contents could be produced more easily than the code implementation method. Through this study, I hope that it will be helpful for the development of various interactive edutainment contents to provide educational contents considering the quantity and quality to infants.

일반적으로 유체나 연료 공급 장치는 모터를 제어하기 위한 특별한 센서가 필요하고, 센서를 부착하기 위한 보조 장치와 부착하기 위한 공간이 필요하다. 또한 신호선 및 기타 배선 등이 필요하여 어려운 점이 따르게 된다. 본 논문에서는, 불편함과 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 홀센서를 이용한 제어시스템을 제안하였고, 시스템의 제어원리는 모터 동작 단계에 따라 전류흐름에 차이가 발생한다는 것을 이용하였다. 또한 제어 시스템이 우수할 뿐만 아니라 센서 설치에 따른 고장을 줄일 수 있었고, 재료비 및 인건비를 절감할 수 있다. Auto-Pumping 시스템은 Soft-Ware적응용을 통해 모든 유체 공급 시스템에 적용할 수 있으며, 차후에 시스템을 이용한 여러 종류의 장치를 개발할 수 있으리라 본다.

Breast cancer is a global health concern and is a major cause of death among women. In Oman, it is the most common cancer in women, with an incidence rate of 15.6 per 100,000 Omani females. Various anticancer remedies have been discovered from natural products in the past and the search is continuing for additional examples. Cytotoxic natural compounds may have a major role in cancer therapy either in potentiating the effect of chemotherapy or reducing its harmful effects. Recently, a few studies have reported advantages of using crude camel milk in treating some forms of cancer. However, no adequate data are available on the lyophilised camel's milk responsibility for triggering apoptosis and oxidative stress associated with human breast cancer. The present study aimed to address the role of the lyophilised camel's milk in inducing proliferation repression of BT-474 and HEp-2 cells compared with the non-cancer HCC1937 BL cell line. Lyophilized camel's milk fundamentally repressed BT-474 cells growth and proliferation through the initiation of either the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways as indicated by both caspase-3 mRNA and its action level, and induction of death receptors in BT-474 but not the HEp-2 cell line. In addition, lyophilised camel's milk enhanced the expression of oxidative stress markers, heme-oxygenase-1 and reactive oxygen species production in BT-474 cells. Increase in caspase-3 mRNA levels by the lyophilised camel's milk was completely prevented by the actinomycin D, a transcriptional inhibitor. This suggests that lyophilized camel's milk increased newly synthesized RNA. Interestingly,it significantly (p<0.003) repressed the growth of HEp-2 cells and BT-474 cells after treatment for 72 hours while 24 hours treatment repressed BT-474 cells alone. This finding suggests that the lyophilised camel's milk might instigate apoptosis through initiation of an alternative apoptotic pathway.

The aim of this study was to compare the reaction of the cardiovascular system, and the anesthetic effect among 3 experimental groups, epidural administration of medetomidine as a single agent, the combination of buprenorphine and medetomidine, and the combination of fentanyl and medetomidine. Twenty one dogs were anesthetized with isoflurane and allowed to breathe spontaneously. Epidural, arterial, and venous catheters were inserted. The tip of epidural catheter was positioned at the level of the space between the sixth and seventh lumbar vertebra. After a stable plane of anesthesia was achieved, these dogs were each administered one of the following treatments epidurally : medetomidine $10{\mu}g/kg$ (Group M), a combination of medetomidine $5{\mu}g/kg$ and buprenorphine $10{\mu}g/kg$ (Group M/B), and a combination of medetomidine $5{\mu}g/kg$ and fentanyl $10{\mu}g/kg$ (Group M/F). Heart rate (HR), Respiratory rate (RR), End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), and arterial blood pressure were measured before drug administration (base line) and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 min postinjection. Blood gas analysis was performed before injection and 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 60 min postinjection. Isoflurane was discontinued 80 min postinjection and pain/motor function were evaluated up to 260 min postinjection every 15 min. At the early stage of drug introduction (until 5 min), the HR was decreased significantly in all 3 groups compared with base line. In Group M, HR was significantly decreased compared with the other 2 groups. With time (starting 20 min after drug introduction), the HR was decreased significantly in Group M/B in respect to base line. However, no significant difference was seen number-wise in all 3 groups. During 60 min after drug introduction, the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures were highest in Group M and lowest in Group M/F. Among 3 groups, drug action and motor loss duration were longest in Group M/F. Analgesic effect observed in the M/F group was the most prominent and long-lasting, compared to those seen in the other 2 groups. Given the fact that the recovery of motor function takes place in a short period of time after analgesic effects disappeared, additional use of M/F depending on the patient's condition would be a good way to achieve effective pain management. However, proper care should be taken to ensure the function of cardiovascular system in the patient because the administration of M/F under isoflurane anesthesia results in a significant decline in arterial blood pressure ($65{\pm}10mmHg$).

Many problems which today's research libraries are confronted with should be taken the measures to find some solutions in any ways. The purpose of this study is to identify the main stream of chaining of research libraries as an existing collector and distributor of scholarly information into a communication system adopting the concept of resource sharing and on-line bibliographic search as some possible ways for solutions. The conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows: 1) The research libraries will be imposed on more and more responsibilities to be a reservoir of the intellectual heritage of an individual, a nation and mankind. 2) The research libraries in the near future will have to develop their collections in the new environment of austerity with the limited budget. 3) It is more desirable for the future research libraries to have the attitude that they are in the business of information and communication rather than being an entity as "a library". 4) The resource sharing developed to solve the severe problems confrontal by research libraries will improve the organizational and technical mechanism for the access to the scholarly information. 5) The research libraries will produce more and more bibliographic database to expand the library materials which can be available and shared. 6) Though on-line search service will be sure to provide a considerable profit to the scholarly information users, it will take a long time for this service to be popularize because of the high ratio of service fee. 7) Two problems should be solved for the efficient service by on-line search. One is the continuous, updating training for the professional librarians. The other is that the common efforts for the quality control and standardization of data base by the data base producers should be made. 8) Taking all the items of the conclusions derived from the study of research libraries mainly in the United States into a consideration, the followings should be paid an attention. - The status-quo of the research libraries in Korea should be analyzed in very detailed and accurate way. - The problems of research libraries in Korea as the major scholarly communication system should be clarified based on the analysis. - The measures for the problems should be taken in the light of the unique characteristics of korean environment. - For the developing the most efficient measures, the formal organize action to lead and govern the long-aimed study on the problems of research libraries should be established and the government-level su n.0, pport for the legislation and finance should be provided for the realization of the result of the study.

The two major isoflavones in soy, genistein and daidzein, are well known to prevent hormone-dependent cancers by their anti estrogenic activity. The exact molecular mechanisms for the protective action are, however, not provided yet. It has been reported that genistein and daidzein have a potential anticancer activity through their antiproliferative effect in many hormone-dependent cancer cell lines. Transforming growth $factor-\beta1(TGF-\beta1)$ has also been found to have cell growth inhibitory effect, especially in mammary epithelial cells. This knowledge led to a hypothetical mechanism that the soy isoflavones-induced growth inhibitory effect can be derived from the regulation of $TGF-\beta1$ and $TGF-\beta$ receptors. In order to test this hypothesis, the effects of the soy isoflavones at various concentrations and periods on the expression of $TGF-\beta1$and $TGF-\beta$ receptors were investigated by using Northern blot analysis in human breast carcinoma epithelial cell lines, an estrogen receptor positive cell line (MCF-7) and an estrogen receptor negative cell line (MDA-MB-231). As a result, only genistein has shown a profound dose-dependent effect on $TGF-\beta1$ expression in the $ER^+$ cell line within the range of doses tested, and the expression levels are correspondent to their inhibitory activities of cell growth. Moreover, daidzein showed down-regulated $TGF-\beta1$ expression at a low dose, the cell growth proliferation was promoted at the same condition. Therefore, antiproliferative activity of the soy isoflavones can be mediated by $TGF-\beta1$ expression, and the effects are mainly, if not all, occurred by ER dependent pathway. The expression of $TGF-\beta$ receptors was induced at a lower dose than the one for $TGF-{\beta}1$ induction regardless of the presence of ER, and the expression patterns are similar to those of the cell growth inhibition. These results indicated that the regulation of $TGF-\beta$ receptor expression as well, prior to $TGF-\beta1$ expression, may be involved in the antiproliferative activity of soy isoflavones. Little or no expression of $TGF-\beta$ receptors was found in the MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, suggesting refractory properties of the cells to growth inhibitory effect of the $TGF-\beta$. The soy isoflavones can seemingly restore the sensitivity of growth inhibitory responses to $TGF-\beta1$ by re-inducing $TGF-\beta$ receptors expression. In conclusions, our findings presented in this study show that the antitumorigenic activity of the soy isoflavones could be mediated by not only $TGF-\beta1$induction but $TGF-\beta$ receptor restoration. Thus, soy isoflavones could be good model molecules to develop new nonsteroidal antiestrogenic chemopreventive agents, associated with, regulation of $TGF-\beta$ and its receptors.

This study was conducted to evaluate the differences in external appearances and functional qualities between the slacks which were patterned on existing designs and on a new design in order to improve on their level of comfort of ready-made clothes for abdominally fat women. Five abdominally fat women in their 60's were chosen as experimental participants. Twenty-four external evaluation items, and seven different actions involving six moving parts of the body were investigated with a 5-level scale in the repeated wearing test. The results were analyzed by statistical methods. The newly designed pattern in this study was definitely superior to the other two patterns(L-type and K-type) on the external appearance evaluation. The newly pattern removed a waist belt and a dart from the front part of the garment and gave surplus space around the waist. It prevented superfluous wrinkles at the abdominal region and thighs. The superfluous wrinkles at the side regions also disappeared due to the length (inseam) reduction from waist to crotch. The newly pattern made the center-line of the back side slightly sloped to the main pattern in order to remove the drooped line. The newly pattern showed the highest score in the functional test of several actions. It was due to the reduction of the length from waist to crotch as well as the belt width. It made waist-line movement better, and made it easier and more comfortable to sit down. The newly pattern also showed the highest score in the functional test classified by specific movements of parts of the body for the same purpose. The slacks which were made of elastic materials showed better results than the non-elastic ones on external appearances and functional test items. It showed that the elastic materials played a better role in the increase of functional action of abdominally fat, aged women. This study suggests that the newly designed slacks pattern could give abdominally fat, aged women better external features and a more comfortable fitting sensation. As well, the results were significant as basic data to produce ready-made and/or tailer-made garments.

본 연구의 목적은 RAW 264.7 세포에 산초 종자 정유 성분의 항염 및 항산화 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 산초 종자로부터 정유를 추출하였으며, 추출물의 항산화 및 항염 활성에 대하여 평가하였다. 추출물의 항산화 활성은 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 SOD 유사 활성 평가법을 이용하였다. 또한 세포독성 평가를 위해 MTT를 이용하여 세포생존율을 측정하였다. LPS로 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7 세포에 대하여 산초 정유가 NO생성과 $PGE_2$ 생성 정도에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. 그 결과 산초 종자 정유는 농도 의존적으로 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 SOD 유사 활성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 세포생존율 평가에서는 $40{\mu}g/mL^{-1}$ 이하의 농도에서 98% 이상의 낮은 세포독성을 나타냈으며, 항염 효능 평가에서는 LPS를 단독으로 처리한 양성대조군보다 산초 정유 성분을 처리한 군에서 NO와 $PGE_2$ 생성이 현저하게 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 산초 정유가 염증매개인자를 감소시키고 산화의 활성을 방지할 수 있는 기능성 식물소재로서의 가능성을 나타낸다.

꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis)는 500종 이상의 기주를 가지고 토마토반점위조바이러스(Tomato spotted wilt virus; TSWV)를 매개하는 해충이다. 전 세계적으로 방제를 위해 노력하고 있지만 살충제를 이용한 방제는 저항성 그리고 환경 및 경제적 부담으로 인한 한계를 보였기 때문에 고정 정확도를 설정한 표본조사법(Fixed-precision level sampling plan)을 개발하였다. 고추(Capsicum annuum)의 꽃노랑총채벌레 성충 방제를 위한 표본 조사법은 공간분포분석, 표본추출 정지선 그리고 의사결정법으로 구성되었다. 표본추출은 식물체를 상단(지상에서 180 cm 이상), 중단(지상에서 120~160 cm 이상), 하단(지상에서 70~110 cm 이상)으로 나누어 각 높이별로 꽃 3개에서 나오는 꽃노랑총채벌레의 성충의 마리 수를 조사하였다. 표본 추출을 통해 꽃노랑총채벌레 성충의 밀도는 다른 식물체 위치(중단, 하단)보다 상단에서 높은 것으로 나왔다. 공간분포분석에서는 Taylor's power law (TPL)를 통해 도출한 각 위치별 계수를 공분산분석(ANCOVA)하여 차이를 비교하였다. ANCOVA 결과에서 도출된 절편과 기울기의 P 값이 각각 0.94, 0.87인 것을 통해 식물체 내 위치별로 차이가 없음을 확인한 후, 자료를 통합(pooling)하여 계산된 TPL 계수를 이용하여 표본추출 정지선을 구하였다. 꽃노랑총채벌레의 방제의사결정을 위한 방제밀도 수준(m₀)은 문헌을 참조하여 3과 18로 설정하였으며 설정값(m₀)을 이용해 최대표본수(N_max)도 조사하였다. 조사 결과, m₀=3, 18일 때 N_max값은 각각 약 97개, 1149개로 계산되었다. 개발된 모델의 적합성 검정을 위해 분석에 사용하지 않은 독립자료를 이용해 Resampling Validation for Sampling Program (RVSP) 프로그램으로 개발된 표본추출법의 적합성 평가를 실시하였고 적합한 정확도를 보이는 것으로 조사되었다.

본 연구는 '천지공사(天地公事)'의 공공윤리 실천전망에 관한 연구를 목적으로 한다. 천지공사는 공적 영역과 사적 영역이 서로 이어지고 매개하는 공공작용을 통해 공공윤리 실천전망을 보여준다. 천지공사는 삼계 통래(通來)로 대순진리를 관철시키는 공사이다. 본 연구방법으로 천지공사가 소개된 문헌을 면밀히 분석하는 문헌연구와 공공윤리 전망을 모색하는 해석학적 기제를 함께 사용한다. 이는 공과 사를 이어주고 매개하는 '공사공매' 지표, 공공행복 추구의 '행복공창' 지표, 개체를 살려 공적 가치를 드러내는 '활사개공' 지표의 기제이다. 공공윤리 지표는 물질과 영혼, 초월과 내재, 성과 속 사이의 간극을 해소하는 능동성으로 말미암아 공공책임을 수반한다. 천지공사는 '음양합덕' 담론에서 시작하여 '신인조화(調化)'의 공공소통을 이루고 '해원상생'의 존재론적 축복으로 연결된다. 도통선경으로 상호호혜의 결실을 맺기에, 천지공사와 인존사사(人尊私事)는 공공의 성상원융(性相圓融)을 이루어 천지인삼재 일원상(一圓相)을 이룬다. 이러한 공공실천 전망은 감성·이성 상관연동의 소통의 공사공매, 해원·보은 상관연동의 상생의 행복공창, 그리고 도통·선경 상관연동의 인존의 활사개공으로 연결되기에 이를 상관연동으로 고찰한다. 천지공사를 주재하는 '인신현현(人神顯現)'의 구천상제는 공공동량 구제 사업에 임하였다. '활사개공'의 공공윤리 지표는 도통군자에 나타나 있다. 천지공사로서 선천세계가 개벽되고 지상천국이 건설된다. 천지공사 공공윤리 전망으로 온 누리에 선경의 화평세상을 이룩하기에, 세계시민성·우주시민성 시대도래를 예견할 수 있다.
