Turbulence is one of the natural phenomena in molecular clouds. It affects gas density and velocity fluctuation within the molecular clouds and controls the mode and tempo of star formation. However, despite many years of study, the properties of turbulence remain poorly understood. As part of the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) Key Science Program (KSP), "mapping Turbulent properties In star-forming MolEcular clouds down to the Sonic scale (TIMES; PI: Jeong-Eun Lee)", we have fully mapped two star-forming molecular clouds, the Orion A and the Ophiuchus molecular clouds, in 3 sets of lines ($^{13}CO$ J=1-0, $C^{18}O$ J=1-0, HCN J=1-0, $HCO^+$ J=1-0, CS J=2-1, and $N_2H^+$ J=1-0) using the TRAO 14-m telescope. We apply a statistical analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which can recover an underlying turbulent-power spectrum from an observed P-P-V spectral map. We compare turbulence properties not only between the two clouds, but also between different parts within each cloud. We present the first result of our observation program.

Low-temperature stress is an important factor controlling the growth and development of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in temperate region. In this study, a molecular linkage map consisting of 136 SSR markers was employed to identify QTL associated with cold tolerance at the seedling stage. 80 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from an intersubspecific cross between Milyang23 (O. sativa ssp. Indica) and Hapcheonaengmi3, a japonica weedy rice and the parents were evaluated for leaf discoloration and SAPD value of seedlings. Rice plants were grown for 15 days in the low-temperature condition (13/20℃ day/night) and the control condition (25/20℃ day/night) in the growth chamber. The degree of leaf discoloration showed a highly significant correlation with the SPAD value in the low-temperature plot (r = -0.708, P < 0.0001). A total of four QTLs for SPAD were identified and the phenotypic variance explained by each QTL ranged from 5.4 to 16.0%. Two QTLs detected in the control condition were located on chromosomes 2 and 5, respectively. Two QTL on chromosomes 1 and 4 were detected at the low-temperature condition and Hapcheonaengmi3 alleles increased the SPAD values at these loci. Substitution mapping was conducted to delimit the position of qSPA-4 using introgression lines derived from the same cross. Results indicated that qSPA-4 was located in a 810-Kb region flanked by RM16333 and RM16368. The results indicated that Hapcheonaengmi3 contains QTL alleles that are likely to improve cold tolerance of Indica rice.

The Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project (SAMP) is a welldesigned long-term AGN reverberation mapping project. SAMP focuses on the luminous AGNs out to z~0.5 with relative long time lags between AGN continuum and broad emission lines and aims to probe the high-end of the AGN broad line region (BLR) size-luminosity (R-L) relation. The pilot observations started in October 2015 for 100 AGNs to confirm the variability and the H and [O III] emission line strengths. Based on the initial variability test, 48 quasars has been continued spectroscopic monitoring since Feb. 2016 with Lick 3m and MDM 2.4m telescopes with a cadence of ~20 days. Supporting photometric monitoring in B and V band was conducted at multiple facilities including the MDM 1.3m, LOAO, and DOAO telescopes with a cadence of ~10 days. By the time of Feb. 2021, we have obtained five years spectroscopic and photometric data. More than 30 AGNs shows significant variability in five-year baseline and 16 of them show well detected lags between B-band and H. Here, we report some examples of SAMP light curves and lag detections using the first five-year data as well as the location of our 16 targets in the AGN BLR R-L relation. These measurements are consistent with the existing R-L relation and located at the high-end. With the coming data, SAMP are hopefully to report more AGNs with well detected lags. Our results demonstrate the general feasibility and potential of long-term reverberation project with medium cadence for luminous AGNs.

의료 영상의 획득하는 과정에서 발생하는 잡음은 영상판독 및 진단을 방해하는 요소로 작용한다. 이러한 잡음으로 오염된 영상으로부터 원본영상을 복원하기 위하여 R.O.F(L.Rudin, S Osher, E. Fatemi)에 의해서 제안된 총변이 최적화 알고리즘은 정규화와 합도의 균형을 맞춰 잡음을 제거할 수 있는 방법이다. 그러나 잡음 제거율을 높이기 위한 반복연산을 수행하는 과정에서 발생하는 경계영역의 몽롱화 현상은 피할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 총변이 최적화 알고리즘의 제어 파라미터를 잡음 분산과 영상의 지역분산 특성에 따라서 가변적으로 변환시켜 치아영상의 경계 영역의 왜곡을 최소화하고 전체 영상의 잡음을 제거하고자 하였다. CBCT 치아영상 464장을 대상으로 제안된 알고리즘을 적용한 결과, 기존의 R.O.F가 제안한 방법에 비해 PSNR측면에서 약 3dB 정도 향상됨을 보였다. 또한 처리된 결과영상을 3D 볼륨으로 재구성하여 비교한 결과, 기존의 방법보다 치아모델의 경계영역이 더 잘 보존됨을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 2005년부터 2007년 사이에 중국 공업지대에서 Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) 센서에서 관측한 이산화황 값의 증가에 따른 Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (OMI-TOMS)와 Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer (OMI-DOAS) 오존전량 값의 차이를 위성자료를 이용하여 비교를 수행하였다. 중국 공업지대에서는 Planetary boundary layer (PBL)내의 이산화황을 나타내는 PBL $SO_2$ 자료가 사용되었다. 중국 공업지대에서 PBL내의 이산화황 농도 증가에 대하여 두 오존 값의 차이가 증가하는 경향성(R (Correlation coefficient) = 0.36)이 나타났다. 이산화황 이외에 두 오존 산출 알고리즘에 모두 영향을 미칠 수 있는 에어로솔 광학 두께(AOD; Aerosol Optical Depth)가 증가하는 경우 이산화황과 두 오존 값의 차이 사이의 회귀식의 기울기($1.83{\leq}slope{\leq}2.36$)가 비슷하게 유지되는 경향이 나타났다. 이는 다양한 AOD 조건에서도 이산화황이 두 오존 값의 차이를 증가시키는 관계가 나타나는 경향은 거의 비슷하게 유지되는 것으로 생각된다. 중국 공업지대에서 PBL내에 존재하는 이산화황과 화산 폭발에 의하여 고층(Middle troposphere (TRM), Upper troposphere and Stratosphere (STL))에서 존재하는 이산화황의 농도가 1 DU 증가하는 경우 두 오존 값의 차이는 각각 1.6 DU, 3.9 DU, 4.9 DU로 계산되었다. 고층(TRM, STL)의 이산화황과 저층(PBL)의 이산화황이 증가하는 경우 두 오존 값의 차이가 다르게 나타나는 것은 이산화황이 존재하는 고도에 따라서 두 오존 값의 차이에 미치는 영향이 다름을 의미한다. 이는 OMI-TOMS 오존을 산출하는데 사용되는 파장영역(317.5 nm)에서 행성경계층에서 이산화황에 의해 흡수되는 복사휘도의 감소된 민감도에 의한 것으로 생각된다.

A series of 20 wt % $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and 3 wt % $Al_2O_3$ surface treatments were applied to $Li[Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.54}Co_{0.13}Ni_{0.13}]O_2$ substrates. The $Li[Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.54}Co_{0.13}Ni_{0.13}]O_2$ substrates were synthesized using a co-precipitation method. Sample (a) was left pristine and variations of the 20 wt % $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and 3 wt % $Al_2O_3$ were applied to samples (b), (c) and (d). XRD was used to verify the space group of the samples as R$\bar{3}$m. Additional morphology and particle size data were obtained using SEM imagery. The $Al_2O_3$ coating layers of sample (b) and (d) were confirmed by TEM images and EDS mapping of the SEM images. 2032-type coin cells were fabricated in a glove box in order to investigate their electrochemical properties. The cells were charged and discharged at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) between 2.0V and 4.8V during the first cycle. The cells were then charged and discharged between 2.0V and 4.6V in subsequent cycles. Sample (d) exhibited lower irreversible capacity loss (ICL) in the first charge-discharge cycle as compared to sample (c). Sample (d) also had a higher discharge capacity of ~250 mAh/g during the first and second charge-discharge cycles when compared with sample (c). The rate capability of the $Al_2O_3$-coated sample (b) and (d) was lower when compared with sample (a) and (c). Sample (d), coated with $Al_2O_3$ after the surface treatment with $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, showed an improvement in cycle performance as well as an enhancement of discharge capacity. The thermal stability of sample (d) was higher than that of the sample (c) as the result of DSC.

Molecular clouds are the sites of stellar birth, and conditions within the clouds control the mode and tempo of star formation. In particular, turbulence largely determines the density and velocity fields, and can affect the gas kinetic temperature as it decays via shocks. However, despite its central role in star formation and many years of study, the properties of turbulence remain poorly understood. As a part of the TRAO key science program, "Mapping turbulent properties of star-forming molecular clouds down to the sonic scale (PI: Jeong-Eun Lee)", we mapped the northern region of the Orion A molecular cloud and the L1688 region of the ${\rho}$ Ophiuchus molecular cloud in 2 sets of lines (13CO 1-0/C18O 1-0 and HCN 1-0/and HCO+ 1-0) using the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) 14-m telescope. We analyze these maps using a python package 'Turbustat', a toolkit which contains 16 different turbulent statistics. We will present the preliminary results of our TRAO observations and various turbulence statistical analyses.

S. coelicolor A3(2) cells were treated with various redox-cycling agents on nutrient agar plates and examined for their effect on the growth and differentiation. When treated with plumbagin, severe effect on cell viability was observed at concentrations above 250 $\mu$M. However, the surviving colonies differentiated normally. When treated with 100 $\mu$M paraquat, growth rate was decreased and morphological differentiation was inhibited, while the survival rate was maintained at about 100% even at 5 mM paraquat. Menadione or lawsone did not cause any visible changes at concentrations up to 1 mM. The effect of paraquat was also observed when it was added to nutrient agar plate before spore inoculation. Paraquat had also observed when it was added to nutrient agar plate before spore inoculation. Paraquat had no effect on colonies growing on R2YE agar plates. Among the components of R2YE medium selectively added to nutrient agar medium, CaCl$_2$ was found to have some protective function from the inhibitory effect of paraquat. As a first step to study the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of paraquat on differentiation, resistant mutants which sporulate well in the presence of paraquat were screened following UV mutagenesis. Three paraquat-resistant mutants were isolated with a frequency of 3 $\times$10${-5}$. Their mutation sites were determined by genetic crossings. All three mutations were mapped to a single locus near arg4 at about 1 o'clock on the genetic map of S. coelicolor A3(2).

김치로부터 분리한 Lactobacillus plantarum bacteriophage SC 921은 M.O.I가 0.2일 경우 용균효과가 빠르게 진행됨을 알 수 있었고, SDS-PAGE를 실시하여 phage particle protein을 조사해 본 결과 4개의 major protein으로 구성되어 있는데 이들은 각각 48, 34, 32, 29 kDa으로 구성되어 있다. Exo III로 30분간 반응시킨 후 S1 nuclease를 처리하여 DNA의 형태를 조사해 본 결과 intact DNA는 linear form의 double strand를 유전전달 물질로 가지고 있었다. 제한효소에 대한 절단 효과를 조사한 결과, Sma I에 대해서 1개, Xba I, Cla I, Kpn I, EcoRI에 대해서 각각 2, 4, 5, 6개의 절단부위를 가지고 있으며, Hind III에 대해서는 절단부위가 매우 많은 것을 알 수 있었다. Hind III를 이용하여 intact DNA의 genome size를 측정해본 결과 약 66.5 kbp정도였다. 위의 실험결과와 restriction enzyme mapping을 통해 기존에 알려진 bacteriophage B2와 비교해본 결과 숙주 균주는 같으나 단백질적인 구조나 유전전달물질로 본 구조는 서로 다름을 알 수 있었다.

Ratooning ability is one of the major different traits from perennial to cultivated rice and annual type. We developed a set of 126 introgression lines derived from a cross between Hwayeong and W1944 (O. rufipogon) to gain an insight into the genetic factors underlying differences between common wild rice and cultivated rice. One IL, CR6 among the 126 ILs of $BC_3F_4$ showed a significant difference in rationing ability compared with Hwayeong. To further characterize the rationing ability, CR6 was selected and crossed to Hwayeong to produce three secondary populations, $BC_4F_2$, $BC_4F_3$ and $BC_5F_2$. In the Hwayeong background, the W1944 allele was associated with an increase in rationing ability. QTL analysis showed that the qRAT5 for rationing ability was linked to RM194 ($R^2$=6.6%, 19.6%, and 44.5% in the $BC_4F_2$, $BC_5F_2$, and $BC_5F_3$, respectively). The putative qRAT5 was also tightly linked to QTLs for spikelets per panicle and grain weight indicating that this region harbors a QTL cluster related to domestication. To our knowledge, this is the first report to map the major QTL for ratooning ability in rice. The SSR markers linked to qRAT5 would be useful in marker-assisted selection for breeding lines with enhanced ratooning ability.
