본 연구는 식용식물로의 가치뿐만 아니라 약용으로 가치가 인정되는 뽕잎에 미생물 생균제를 이용한 뽕잎발효차 개발을 통하여 기능성 소재 개발 및 새로운 제품 개발의 방안을 제시하고자 뽕잎차 및 뽕잎발효차의 일부 성분을 분석하였다. 두 시료간의 일반성분 중에서 지방 함량이 뽕잎발효차가 더 높았고, 탄수화물의 함량은 뽕잎차가 더 높았다. 유리당을 분석한 결과 뽕잎발효차가 뽕잎차에 비해 전체 유리당 함량이 줄어들었으며, 특히 뽕잎차에서는 maltose 함량이 가장 높았으나 뽕잎발효차의 경우 maltose가 분석되지 않았고 lactose가 소량 분석되었다. 총 유리아미노산 함량은 뽕잎차가 뽕잎발효차보다 높았으며 뽕잎차에서는 glutamic acid, 뽕잎발효차에서는 cystine의 함량이 가장 많았다. 아미노산 유도체에서는 $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid(GABA) 성분 함량이 가장 높았으며 각 시료 간 함량은 비슷하였다. 지방산의 조성에서는 뽕잎발효차가 뽕잎차에 비해 불포화 지방산이 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 종합해 보면 식용식물로서 뿐만 아니라 약용으로도 가치가 있는 뽕잎에 생균제를 이용하여 개발한 뽕잎발효차를 뽕잎차와 비교하였을 때 뽕잎발효차에서 유리당과 유리아미노산의 함량이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 그 유용성분 및 특이성분의 함량은 충분히 유지되고 있었다.

Objective : Neuroblastoma is one of common childhood tumors. Although its mortality is very high, there is no effective treatment yet. The aim of this project is to evaluate cytotoxic effects of melatonin (MLT) an endogen hormone and 13-cis retinoic acid (13-cis-RA) also named as isotretinoin an analogue of vitamin A on neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. Methods : In this study, SH-SY5Y cell line was used. After cell culture, the cells were exposed to different doses of MLT and 13-cis-RA. 24 and 48 hours later. While the viabilities was estimated with MTT cell viability assay test, apoptotic indexes were calculated after staining with TUNEL based apoptosis kit. Results : It was observed that MLT has very effective cytotoxic potential than 13-cis-RA on neuroblastoma cell line. At the same time, when MLT and 13-cis-RA were combined, this effect was potentiated. On the other hand, it was found that the effect of 13-cis-RA individually on neuroblastoma cells was very slight. Conclusion : We suggest that in the treatment of patient with neuroblastoma, MLT is very effective and also this effect can be augmented by combination with 13-cis-RA.

Background and Objectives: Music listening has a concomitant effect on structural and functional organization of the brain. It helps in relaxation, mind training and neural strengthening. In relation to it, the present study was aimed to find the effect of Carnatic music listening training (MLT) on speech in noise performance in adults. Subjects and Methods: A total of 28 participants (40-70 years) were recruited in the study. Based on randomized control trial, they were divided into intervention and control group. Intervention group underwent a short-term MLT. Quick Speech-in-Noise in Kannada was used as an outcome measure. Results: Results were analysed using mixed method analysis of variance (ANOVA) and repeated measures ANOVA. There was a significant difference between intervention and control group post MLT. The results of the second continuum revealed no statistically significant difference between post training and follow-up scores in both the groups. Conclusions: In conclusion short-term MLT resulted in betterment of speech in noise performance. MLT can be hence used as a viable tool in formal auditory training for better prognosis.

We conducted a statistical study of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) in relation to magnetic local time (MLT), considering the geomagnetic conditions using the K-index (or K). Additionally, we performed a case study to examine the velocity profile, specifically for high velocities (≥ ~100 m/s) varying with high temporal resolution at high K-index values. This study utilized the PMSE data obtained from the mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere radar located in Esrange, Sweden (63.7°N, 21°E). The change in K-index in terms of MLT was high (K ≥ 4) from 23 to 04 MLT, estimated for the time PMSE was present. During the near-midnight period (0-4 MLT), both PMSE occurrence and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) displayed an asymmetric structure with upper curves for K ≥ 3 and lower curves for K < 3. Furthermore, the occurrence of high velocities peaked at 3-4 MLT for K ≥ 3. From case studies focusing on the 0-3 MLT period, we observed persistent eastward-biased high velocities (≥ 200 m/s) prevailing for ~18 min. These high velocities were accompanied with the systematic motion of profiles at 85-88 km, including large shear formation. Importantly, the rapid variations observed in velocity could not be attributed to neutral wind effects. The present findings suggest a strong substorm influence on PMSE, especially in the midnight and early dawn sectors. The large zonal drift observed in PMSE were potentially energized by local electromagnetic fields or the global convection field induced by the electron precipitation during substorms.

Since the operation of the King Sejong Station (KSS) started in Antarctic Peninsula in 1989, there have been continuous efforts to perform the observation for the upper atmosphere. The observations during the initial period of the station include Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) and Michelson Interferometer for the mesosphere and thermosphere, which are no longer in operation. In 2002, in collaboration with York University, Canada, the Spectral Airglow Temperature Imager (SATI) was installed to observe the temperature in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region and it has still been producing the mesopause temperature data until present. The observation was extended by installing the meteor radar in 2007 to observe the neutral winds and temperature in the MLT region during the day and night in collaboration with Chungnam National University. We also installed the all sky camera in 2008 to observe the wave structures in the MLT region. All these observations are utilized to study on the physical characteristics of the MLT region and also on the wave phenomena such as the tide and gravity wave in the upper atmosphere over KSS that is well known for the strong gravity wave activity. In this article, brief introductions for the currently operating instruments at KSS will be presented with their applications for the study of the upper atmosphere.

본 논문은 다중등급의 통화유량에 대해 효율적인 처리를 위하여 동적 우선순위 스케쥴링이 가능한 2중이완성 한계치를 갖는 최소이완성한계 (Minimum Laxity Threshold:MLT)알고리즘과 2중 대기행열 한계치를 갖는 대기 행열간격한계(Queue Length Threshold QLT) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 실시간서비스 중 지연민감도가 다른 2개 등급 이상의 통화유량 처리시2중 이완성 한계치를 갖는 MLT알고리즘을 적용함으로써 MLT알고리즘 자체보다 처리 효율성이 개선됨을 확인하고, 또2개 등급 이상의 비실시간 통화유량에 대해서는 2중 대기행열 한계치를 갖는 QLT알고리즘이 QLT보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

실내에서 사육된 C. riparius를 대상으로 내분비계 교란물질인 DEHP를 처리하여 노출시간에 따른 기형발생률과 발생한 기형의 유형을 세분화하였다. 하순기절 구조별 기형발생률은 MLT (medial lateral tooth)에서 가장 높았고 그 다음이 LT (lateral tooth), MIX 순으로 높게 나타났다. 비처리군과 처리군 모두 MLT 단독의 기형이 가장 많았다. 하순기절의 기형유형은 여섯 가지로 세분화하였다. 발생빈도가 높은 기형유형은 tooth 추가(4.3%), tooth 쪼개짐(2.8%), tooth 결실 (2.4%), tooth 합쳐짐 (1.4%), $K"{o}hn$ gap (0.5%)과 형태적 이상(0.5%) 순으로 발생하였다. 약제 처리에서만 관찰된 기형은 tooth 쪼개짐과 tooth 합쳐짐이었다.

We have investigated the effect of melatonin (MLT) on specific growth rate (SGR% $day^{-1}$), condition factor (k), gonado-somatic-index (GSI), histological structures of gonads, serum as well as gonadal protein and lipid in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. MLT treatment in the dose of 25 ${\mu}g/L$ for three weeks reduced SGR% $day^{-1}$ ($0.9{\pm}0.04$) as compared to control ($1.23{\pm}0.026$). The GSI value was significantly (p<0.05) reduced to $1.77{\pm}0.253$ from control where it was $2.56{\pm}0.25$. Serum protein level increased from $9.33{\pm}2.90$ mg/ml (control) to $11.67{\pm}1.45$ mg/ml after MLT treatment while there was depressed serum triglycerides ($86.16{\pm}1.078$ mg/dl) and cholesterol ($126.66{\pm}0.88$ mg/dl) as compared to control values where these were $123.0{\pm}1.23$ mg/dl and $132.0{\pm}1.65$ mg/dl respectively. Histological structure of ovary showed small eggs of early perinucleolus stage after MLT treatment while testicular structure of control and MLT treated fish was more or less similar. It is concluded that exogenous melatonin suppressed SGR% $day^{-1}$, GSI, ovarian cellular activity, protein and lipid biosynthesis, in tilapia suggesting that melatonin is useful in manipulating the gonadal maturity in fishes.
