  • Amanita Pers. is a well-known monophyletic mushroom genus with a broad distribution. However, the diversity of Korean Amanita species has been underestimated, and most taxonomic studies conducted in Korea have only investigated their morphological characteristics. This approach is frequently insufficient for correct identification in fungal classification; therefore, we constructed a phylogeny of Amanita subgen. Lepidella in order to understand the phylogenetic placements of 16 Amanita specimens collected in Korea in 2012. The phylogeny constructed using the sequence data of the internal transcribed spacers and the partial large subunit of ribosomal RNA identified nine Amanita species (A. citrina, A. excelsa var. spissa, A. flavipes, A. fritillaria, A. oberwinklerana, A. pallidorosea, A. rubescens, A. subjunquillea, and A. volvata); of these, A. fritillaria, A. oberwinklerana, and A. pallidorosea are new to Korea.

  • Molecular approaches, internal transcribed spacer(ITS) sequences of ribosomal DNA, and Universal Rice Primer Polymerase Chain Reaction(URP-PCR) were used to investigate the genetic diversity, taxonomic complexity, and relationships of Trichoderma species in mushroom farms. Forty-one isolates of 13 Trichoderma spp. were used in this study and clustered into eight groups. The DNA fingerprint patterns and ITS1 region sequence alignment data showed similar results, but not in some species, such as T. virens, T. atroviride, T. harzianum, and T. aureoviride. Results of this study have proven that the morphology-based taxonomic system has some limitations in terms of classification. The data obtained in this study would be a good index for classifying indistinguishable Trichoderma strains.

  • The fungal genus Suillus Micheli ex S. F. Gray plays important roles in the survival and growth of plant seedlings. Humans have utilized these ectomycorrhizal fungi to enhance the nutrient uptake and defense systems of plants, particularly in the reforestation of coniferous forests. The genus Suillus is easily distinguishable by its distinctive morphological features, although the morphology of the fruiting body does not facilitate reliable interspecies discrimination. On the basis of micro-morphological features and internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis, we found that 51 of 117 Korean Suillus specimens had initially been misidentified. The list of the 12 Suillus species previously recorded in Korea was re-evaluated and revised to only eight distinct species: S. americanus, S. bovinus, S. granulatus, S. grevillei, S. luteus, S. pictus, S. placidus, and S. viscidus. We provide taxonomical descriptions for six of these species from the sample specimens.

  • 벼멸구 생태형 1, 2, 3의 형태의 차이를 구별하고자 장시형과 단시형 암수를 대상으로 형태적 변화를 관찰하였다. 암컷은 생식 부위인 Abdominal lateral lobes의 좌우 부위를 비교 조사하였다. 수컷은 앞다리, 가운데 다리, 뒷다리 부절의 Unguitractor plate를 조사하였다. 생태형 2의 단시형 암컷은 Abdominal lateral lobes의 기부가 잘라진 것으로 생태형 1과 3보다 많았다. Unguitractor plate의 경우 생태형 2는 장단시형 암 수 모두 부절 안쪽으로 함입되어 있었다.

  • Colletotrichum spp.는 광범위한 기주범위를 갖는 다범성균으로 각종작물에 피해를주는 중요한식물병원진균이다. 최근 국내에서 널리 재배되고 있는 단감, 사과, 복숭아, 포도 등에 탄저병 이 발생하여 많은 경제적 손실을 초래하고 있다. 탄저병원균의 경우 기존에는 주로 형태적 특징이나 배지 상에서의 특성, 기주에 대한 병원성의 차이에 의존하여 분류를 해 왔다. 그러나 최근에는 병원균의 분류에 있어 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 분자생물학적 방법을 이용하고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 Random Amplified Polymorphism DNAs (RAPD)와 Ploymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) 기법을 이용하여 단감나무에 탄저병을 일으키는 균들 간에 유연관계를 밝혔다. 유연관계 분석결과 크게는2개의 그룹으로 나뉘었고 작게는5개의 그룹으로 나뉘는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • We present the Korea Institute for Advanced Study Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (KIAS VAGC), a catalog of galaxies based on the Large Scale Structure (LSS) sample of New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU VAGC) Data Release 7. Our catalog supplements redshifts of 10,497 galaxies with 10 < $r_P\;{\leq}\;17.6$ (1455 with 10 < $r_P\;{\leq}\;14.5$) to the NYU VAGC LSS sample. Redshifts from various existing catalogs such as the Updated Zwicky Catalog, the IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift Survey, the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies, and the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey have been put into the NYU VAGC photometric catalog. Our supplementation significantly improves spectroscopic completeness: the area covered by the spectroscopic sample with completeness higher than 95% increases from 2.119 to 1.737 sr. Our catalog also provides morphological types of all galaxies that are determined by the automated morphology classification scheme of Park & Choi (2005), and related parameters, together with fundamental photometry parameters supplied by the NYU VAGC. Our catalog contains matches to objects in the Max Planck for Astronomy (MPA) & Johns Hopkins University (JHU) spectrum measurements (Data Release 7). This new catalog, the KIAS VAGC, is complementary to the NYU VAGC and MPA-JHU catalog.

  • The disease concept of interstitial lung disease with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis at its core has been relied on for many years depending on morphological classification. The separation of non-specific interstitial pneumonia with a relatively good prognosis from usual interstitial pneumonia is also based on the perception that morphology enables predict the prognosis. Beginning with dust-exposed lungs, initially, interstitial pneumonia is classified by anatomical pathology. Diagnostic imaging has dramatically improved the diagnostic technology for surviving patients through the introduction of high-resolution computed tomography scan. And now, with the introduction of therapeutics, the direction of diagnosis is turning. It can be broadly classified into to make known the importance of early diagnosis, and to understand the importance of predicting the speed of progression/deterioration of pathological conditions. For this reason, the insight of "early lesions" has been discussed. There are reports that the presence or absence of interstitial lung abnormalities affects the prognosis. Searching for a biomarker is another prognostic indicator search. However, as is the case with many chronic diseases, pathological conditions that progress linearly are extremely rare. Rather, it progresses while changing in response to environmental factors. In interstitial lung disease, deterioration of respiratory functions most closely reflect prognosis. Treatment is determined by combining dynamic indicators as faithful indicators of restrictive impairments. Reconsidering the history being classified under the disease concept, the need to reorganize treatment targets based on common pathological phenotype is under discussed. What is the disease concept? That aspect changes with the discussion of improving prognosis.

  • 본 논문은 사출성형 제품에 존재하는 여러 가지의 패턴의 결함을 신경회로망을 이용하여 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 룩업테이블을 이용하였고, 기존의 이미지 비교에 의한 방법을 지양하여 결함분류를 위한 신경회로망의 학습표본을 위한 특징점을 추출하고 결함추출과 분류알고리즘을 제안하였다. 총 500개의 사출성형 제품의 패턴에 대하여 신경회로망의 학습을 통하여 약 3%의 제품의 패턴에서 결함을 검출하였고 패턴의 직경에 대한 불량으로 대부분 분류되었다. 제안된 시스템을 이용한 결함 검출 방법은 사출성형 제품의 미세한 패턴을 검출하는 데 시간과 경비를 줄일 수 있는 효과적인 대안으로 기대한다.

  • On the basis of morphological characteristics, of total 128 strains of from sputum of tuberculos inpatient were identified as A. fumigatus (61 strains), A. niger (37), A. flavus (26), A. versicolor (1), A. nidulans (1), A. clavatus (1) and Neosartorya fennelliae (1). These strains were re-identified according to recent Aspergillus classification system which is mainly based on molecular characteristics. The strains were grouped by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques. The representative strains from each group were sequenced with partial ${\beta}$-tubulin gene and compared with those of reference strains in the Aspergillus and were identified by the sequence. The identification was confirmed by morphology examination. As the results, they are reidentified as A. fumigatus (58), A. niger (11), A. tubingensis (26), A. flavus (27), A. sydowii (3), A. nidulans (1), A. clavatus (1) and Neosatorya fennelliae (1). This is the first report of A. tubuingensis in clinical field in Korea.

  • 자궁 경부암 세포진 영상의 영역 분할은 슬라이드의 상태나 정상 및 비정상에 따라 많은 차이를 보여 자궁경부암 세포진 인식 시스템의 가장 어렵고도 중요한 분야로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 자궁 경부 세포진 영상에서 퍼지 그레이 모폴로지 연산을 이용하여 핵을 추출하고, 추출된 세포진 핵 영역은 형태학적 정보와 명암 정보, 색상 정보 및 질감 정보를 분석하여 핵의 특징을 추출한다. 또한 Bethesda System에서의 분류 기준에 따라 핵의 분류 기준을 정하고 추출된 핵의 특징들을 개선된 퍼지 ART 알고리즘에 적용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 자궁 세포진 핵의 추출과 인식에 있어서 효율적임을 확인하였다.
