Microplastic contamination in waterbodies is a growing source of concern for researchers and other stakeholders. We investigated oxidative stress and toxicity in goldfish (Carassius auratus) in response to exposure to 1-㎛ diameter micro-polystyrene (MP) at concentrations of 0, 10, 100, and 1000 beads/mL (MP 0, MP 10, MP 100, and MP 1000 groups) for 7 d (at day 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7). We analyzed the survival rates; superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) mRNA expression levels in the liver; SOD and CAT activity in the plasma; caspase-3 mRNA expression in the liver; and the levels of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in plasma. Terminal transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays were also conducted to determine apoptosis levels in the liver. All fish in the MP 1000 group died by day 7 and the MP 100 group had a lower survival rate than the MP 10 and MP 0 groups. The mRNA expression as well as SOD, CAT, and caspase-3 activity levels were increased significantly with increases in MP concentration and exposure time. Finally, according to the TUNEL assay, more apoptosis was observed in the MP 1000 group at day 5 than in other groups. In summary, MP concentrations above 100 beads/mL caused death and oxidative stress to goldfish. We conclude that MP can cause oxidative stress and apoptosis in goldfish, which leads to death.

This study was performed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) gels containing pork skin gelatin at different salt concentrations. MP gels were prepared to the different salt levels (0.15, 0.30, and 0.45 M) with or without 1.0% of pork skin gelatin. Cooking yield (CY), gel strength, shear stress were measured to determine the physical properties, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, sulfhydryl group and protein surface hydrophobicity was performed to figure out the structural changes among the proteins. The addition of gelatin into MP increased CYs and shear stress. MP at 0.45 M salt level had the highest CY and shear stress, as compared to MPs at lower salt concentrations. As the salt concentration of MP gels increased, the microstructure became the compact and wet structures, and decreased the amount of ${\alpha}-helix$/unordered structures and ${\beta}-sheet$. MP with gelatin showed a decreased amount of ${\alpha}-helix$/unordered structures and ${\beta}-sheet$ compared to MP without gelatin. The addition of gelatin to MP did not affect the sulfhydryl group, but the sulfhydryl group decreased as increased salt levels. MP mixtures containing gelatin showed a higher hydrophobicity value than those without gelatin, regardless of salt concentration. Based on these results, the addition of gelatin increased viscosity of raw meat batter and CY of MP gels for the application to low salt meat products.

Highly stable and high performance amorphous oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated using 4-mercaptophenol (4MP) doped ZnO by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The 4 MP concentration in ZnO films were varied from 1.7% to 5.6% by controlling Zn: 4MP pulses. The carrier concentrations in ZnO thin films were controlled from $1.017{\times}10^{20}$/$cm^3$ to $2,903{\times}10^{14}$/$cm^3$ with appropriate amount of 4MP doping. The 4.8% 4MP doped ZnO TFT revealed good device mobility performance of $8.4cm^2V-1s-1$ and on/off current ratio of $10^6$. Such 4MP doped ZnO TFTs were stable under ambient conditions for 12 months without any apparent degradation in their electrical properties. Our result suggests that 4 MP doping can be useful technique to produce more reliable oxide semiconductor TFT.

본 연구는 기존의 미디어 연구 내에서 시각미디어에 비해 상대적으로 그 중요성이 간과되어 왔던 음악미디어에 대한 계보적 접근을 통해서 MP3의 사회문화적 의미를 고찰해보는 시론적 성격을 가진 연구다. 이러한 분석을 위해서 고립주의적인 미디어 연구와는 달리 미디어 사이의 상호관계적인 맥락에서 미디어를 파악하는 미디어 재매개 이론을 이론적 기반으로 해 MP3에 대한 분석을 시도한다. 이러한 연구의 결과로 본 연구에서는 음악미디어의 재매개 과정을 소리의 비매개성과 인터페이스의 하이퍼매개성이라는 이중 논리로 분석했다. 또한 음악미디어 재매개의 관행으로 이동성과 사사화라는 측면에서 MP3가 기존 음악미디어들이 가지고 있던 '이동성과 사사화'에 '밀도의 심화'를 가져왔다고 밝혔다. MP3의 시공간성은 음악미디어의 청각적 시공간성과 모바일 기기들이 가지는 모바일 시간성의 융합을 통한 '모바일 음악 시공간성'으로 개념화 했으며, MP3의 사회적 물질적 차원의 재매개를 통한 듣기 체계의 변화는 저작권 문제와 음악가들의 지위의 변화의 차원에서 고찰되었다.

In this paper we implement MP3 encoder based on integer operations. To implement MP3 encoder presented in ［1］, floating-point operations are required. But we devise an MP3 encoding method which is based on integer operations. To verify the method presented in this paper, we implement MP3 encoder using ARM processor. In this paper we present the method to change floating point operations into integer operations, and the ARM assembly programming technique to implement fast MP3 encoder. The MP3 encoder implement using integer processor consumes less power than the encoder implemented using floating-point processor. So the encoder implemented in this paper is suitable lot portable applications which requires low power consumption.

The Systems Engineering method is increasingly recognized as a central in the Acquisition of Weapon Systems in South Korea. Because of these trends, issues concerned with improving weapon system design are increasingly raised. This paper presents a development of Operational Mode Summary/Mission Profile (OMS/MP) in terms of Weapon Systems Acquisition for application to Systems Engineering method. For a systematic approach, a precise concept of OMS/MP is derived by analyzing the concept of conventional OMS/MP. This paper reviews the results of a series of previously reported examples aiming to develop the OMS/MP of a weapon system. Based on this, the limitations of the conventional OSM/MP applications are investigated. And these limitations can be resolved by the Fundamentals of Systems Engineering. Finally, the OMS/MP framework based on the Fundamentals of Systems Engineering has been proposed and is successfully implemented for the Harbor Underwater Surveillance System.

멀티프로세서 환경에서 OpenMP는 MPI 에 비해 병렬 프로그래밍을 쉽게 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있고, OpenMP는 표준이 없는 병렬 프로그래밍 세계에서 실질적인 표준으로써 인정받고 있다. OPenMP는 대상 플랫폼에 따라 OpenMP 구현을 다르게 해야 하기 때문에 새로운 프로세서가 등장하면 그에 맞는 OpenMP구현을 만들어야 한다. 이 논문에선 다중 프로세서 시스템-온-칩 시스템인 ARM11MPCore 시스템 위에 POSIX 쓰레드에 기반하여 OpenMP 환경을 구축하고 그 성능을 측정한다.

위성용 RF 수동 소자에 대한 MP(multipactor) 현상과 그 검출 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 본 연구에 사용된 RF 수동 소자는 S 대역 diplexer로, 이는 인터디지털 타입의 5단 chebyshev 응답특성을 갖는 두개의 대역통과필터로 구성되며 2.232 및 2.055 GHz 대역에서 2.7 %의 대역폭을 갖는 구조로 각각 설계되었다. MP 민감도 해석을 위해 diplexer에 대하여 3D 전자기 모델링을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 diplexer 구조적으로 multipactor에 대하여 가장 민감한 부분을 정의 하였고 이때의 MP 방전 현상이 나타나지 않는 최대 RF 입력전력을 규명하였다. 또한 KARI 자체 개발한 MP 민감도 시험 시설을 이용하여 QM용 diplexer에 대한 시험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 CW 모드에서 43 dBm, 펄스 모드 시험에서 44 dBm의 RF 입력 전력에서 MP가 발생됨을 확인 하였다.

Purpose: A nationwide outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MP) refractory to macrolide antibiotics occurred in Korea during 2011. Steroid therapy has been reported to be both efficacious and well tolerated in pediatric patients with refractory MP. We compared clinical features and laboratory characteristics between children with refractory MP requiring steroid treatment and those with macrolide-responsive MP and evaluated the risk factors associated with refractory MP. Methods: We investigated 203 children who were admitted to our institution with MP from June to November 2011. Refractory MP was defined by persistent fever over $38.3^{\circ}C$ with progressive pulmonary consolidation or pleural effusion despite administration of appropriate macrolide antibiotics for 5 days or longer after admission. Steroid therapy was initiated on the fifth day after admission for refractory cases. Results: There were 26 patients with refractory MP requiring steroid therapy. The mean duration of steroid therapy was 5.4 days and most of the patients were afebrile within 24 hours after initiation of steroid therapy. The prevalence of refractory MP was higher in patients with pleural effusion, lobar pneumonia affecting more than 2 lobes, higher levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase, increased oxygen requirements, and longer duration of hospitalization. Atopic sensitization and history of asthma were also associated with refractory MP after adjusting for age and gender. Conclusion: Children with refractory MP had more severe pneumonia. Atopic sensitization and history of asthma may be risk factors for refractory MP requiring steroid therapy in Korean children.
