Presampled 변조전달함수(MTF) 측정에서 slant 표적각도 변화에 따라 MTF 결과의 차이가 있음을 확인하였고, 표적각도 변화에 대한 오차를 줄이기 위하여 획득한 edge spread function 그래프를 fitting하여 측정값의 오차를 줄일 수 있는 측정기법을 연구하였다. Presampled MTF 방법의 특성상 표적이 회전함에 따라 투영되는 공간주파수의 강도분포는 표적의 회전각도에 따라 변화하며, 이로 인하여 MTF 차이가 발생함을 확인하였다. 이 연구에서는 획득한 영상의 1개의 열에 대해서만 fitting을 한 후 MTF를 계산하였다. Fitting을 이용한 계산은 기존의 presampled MTF 방법과 비교하여 표적 회전에 따른 오차가 줄어듬을 확인하였다. 이 방법은 MTF를 이용한 자동 초점 등 다양한 각도의 표적에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

MTF(modulation transfer function)는 광학 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 사용되는 중요한 파라미터 중 하나이다. 또한 열악한 우주 환경(방사능, 극한 열조건 및 전자기장 등), 대기 영향 및 시스템 성능의 저하 등으로 저하된 영상품질을 복원시켜주기 위한 파라미터로 사용될 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형 지구관측위성인 DubaiSat-1이 발사된 후, 위성영상의 품질을 평가하기 위하여 MTF를 측정하였다. 일반적으로 MTF는 point source 혹은 knife-edge 방법 등과 같은 다양한 방법을 이용하여 측정되어왔다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 ISO에서 line source에 의한 MTF 측정을 표준화한 slanted-edge 방법을 이용하여 MTF를 측정하였다. Slanted-edge 방법은 전자 스틸 카메라(electronic still-picture camera)의 MTF를 측정하기 위한 ISO 12233 표준으로써, 라인스캐닝 망원경(line-scanning telescope)의 MTF를 추정하기 위하여 사용된 방법이다. 또한 PSF(point spread function) 기반으로 제작된 MTF 회선 커널(MTF convolution kernel)에 의한 MTF 보상(MTF compensation)과 영상의 노이즈 제거(image denoising)를 수행하여 영상의 품질 저하(degradation)를 완화시켰다.

칼날주사방법을 이용한 CCD의 MTF 측정장치를 제작하고 일차원 CCD의 MTF특성을 측정하였다. 주사방향에 수직인 직선과 칼날이 이루는 각도에 따른 CCD MTF 측정값의 변화는 $1^{\circ}$ 미만의 작은 각도변화에 의해서도 MTF값이 크게 변함을 알 수 있었으며 CCD의 MTF 측정값은 간섭필터와 텅스텐 필라멘트가 조합된 파장에 따라 다른 값을 나타내었다. 또한 광원의 색온도 변화에 의한 CCD의 MTF특성과 CCD 화소들의 균일성을 조사하였다.

The MTF1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a 43 kDa MITOCHONDRIAL RNA polymerase specificity factor which recognizes mitochondrial promoters to initiate correct transcription. To better understand structure-function of the MTF1 gene as well as the transcription mechanism of mitochondrial RNA polymerase, two cold-sensitive alleles of the MTF1 mutation were isolated by plasmid shuffling method after PCR-based random mutagenesis of the MTF1 gene. The mutation sites were analyzed by nucleotide sequencing. These cs phenotype mtf1 mutants were respiration competent on the nonfermentible glycerol medium at the permissive temperature, but incompetent at 13.deg.C. The cs phenotype allele of the MTF1, yJH147, encoded an L146P replacement. The other cs allele, yJH148, contained K179E and K214M double replacements. Mutations in both alleles were in a region of Mtflp which is located between domains with amino acid sequence similarities to conserved regions 2 and 3 of bacterial s factors.

렌즈의 실시간 성능축정을 위하여 MTF측정장치에 CCD를 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 CCD를 복사기 렌즈의 실시간 MFT측정장치에 사용했을 때 CCD에 의한 각종 MTF특성을 분석하였다. CCD로 측정한 복사기 렌즈의 MTF는 2차원 CCD의 shift register가 배열된 방향과 셔터 속도, 광신호 증폭회로의 증폭률에 따라 다른 특성을 나타내었다. 광원의 밝기에 의한 MTF 값의 변화를 줄이기 위하여 축상면 및 비축상면에서 복사조도가 균일한 광원장치를 제작하였으며 MTF 값이 측정된 표준렌즈를 사용하여 복사기 렌즈용 실시간 MTF측정장치를 교정하였다.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the effects of voxel size, the oversampling technique, and the direction and area of measurement on modulation transfer function (MTF) values to identify the optimal method of MTF measurement. Materials and Methods: Images of the wire inserts of the SedentexCT IQ phantom were acquired, and MTF values were calculated under different conditions(voxel size of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm; 5 oversampling techniques; simulated pixel location errors; and different directions and areas of measurement). The differences in the MTF values across various conditions were evaluated. Results: The MTF 10 values showed smaller standard deviations than the MTF 50 values. Stable and accurate MTF values were obtained in the 0.1-mm voxel images. In the 0.3-mm voxel images, oversampling techniques of 11 lines or more did not show significant differences in MTF values depending on the presence of simulated location errors. MTF 10 values showed significant differences according to the direction and area of the measurement. Conclusion: To measure more accurate and stable MTF values, it is better to measure MTF 10 values in small-voxel images. In large-voxel images, the proper oversampling technique is required. MTF values from the radial and tangential directions may be different, and MTF values vary depending on the measured area.

Background: Metal-responsive transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) is a key transcriptional regulator playing crucial roles in metal homeostasis and cellular adaptation to diverse oxidative stresses. In order to understand cellular pathways associated with metal regulation and stress responses in Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai), this study was aimed to isolate the genetic determinant of abalone MTF-1 and to examine its expression characteristics under basal and experimentally stimulated conditions. Results: The abalone MTF-1 shared conserved features in zinc-finger DNA binding domain with its orthologs; however, it represented a non-conservative shape in presumed transactivation domain region with the lack of typical motifs for nuclear export signal (NES) and Cys-cluster. Abalone MTF-1 promoter exhibited various transcription factor binding motifs that would be potentially related with metal regulation, stress responses, and development. The highest messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of MTF-1 was observed in the testes, and MTF-1 transcripts were detected during the entire period of embryonic and early ontogenic developments. Abalone MTF-1 was found to be Cd inducible and highly modulated by heat shock treatment. Conclusion: Abalone MTF-1 possesses a non-consensus structure of activation domains and represents distinct features for its activation mechanism in response to metal overload and heat stress. The activation mechanism of abalone MTF-1 might include both indirect zinc sensing and direct de novo synthesis of transcripts. Taken together, results from this study could be a useful basis for future researches on stress physiology of this abalone species, particularly with regard to heavy metal detoxification and thermal adaptation.

Transcription of mitochondrial DNA in the yeast S. cerevisiae depends on recognition of a consensus nonanucleotide promoter sequence by mitochondrial RNA polymerase specificity factor, which is a 43 kDa polypeptide encoded by the nuclear MTF1 gene. Mtf1p has only limited amino acid sequence homology to bacterial sigma factors, but functions in many ways like sigma in that it is required for promoter recognition and initiation of transcription. To analyze the corebinding region of Mtf1p, monoclonal antibodies to this protein were prepared. Recombinant Mtf1p overproduced in E. coli was purified to near homogeneity and used to raise monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). From fused cells screened for Mtf1p mAbs by immunodot blot analysis, 19 positive clones were initially isolated. Further analysis of positive clones by Western blotting resulted in 4 mAbs of Mtf1p.

EOC (Electro-Optical Camera) of KOMPSAT-1 (Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) has been producing land imageries of the world since January 2000. After image data are acquired by EOC, they are transmitted from satellite to ground via X-band RF signal. Then, EOC image data are generated and pass through radiometric and geometric corrections to generate standard products of EOC images. After radiometric correction on EOC image data, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) compensation is applicable on EOC images with user's request for better image quality. MTF compensation is concerned with filtering EOC images to minimize the effect of degradations. For Image Receiving and Processing System (IRPE) at KOMPSAT Ground Station (KGS), Wiener filter is used in MTF compensation for EOC images. If the Pointing Spread Function (PSF) of EOC system is known, signal-to-noise power spectra ratio is the only factor in the determination of Wiener filter. In this paper, MTF compensation in IRPE at KGS is introduced and MTF compensated EOC 1R images are generated using Wiener filters with various signal-to-noise power spectra ratios. MTF compensated EOC 1R images are correlated with EOC 1R images for observing linearities between them. As a result, the effect of signal-to-noise power spectra ratio is shown on MTF compensated EOC 1R images.
