  • In this paper, we introduce a new architecture of PSO-based Polynomial Neural Networks (PNN) and discuss its comprehensive design methodology. The conventional PNN is based on a extended Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) method, and utilized the polynomial order (viz. linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic) as well as the number of node inputs fixed (selected in advance by designer) at Polynomial Neurons located in each layer through a growth process of the network. Moreover it does not guarantee that the conventional PNN generated through learning results in the optimal network architecture. The PSO-based PNN results in a structurally optimized structure and comes with a higher level of flexibility that the one encountered in the conventional PNN. The PSO-based design procedure being applied at each layer of PNN leads to the selection of preferred PNs with specific local characteristics (such as the number of input variables, input variables, and the order of the polynomial) available within the PNN. In the sequel, two general optimization mechanisms of the PSO-based PNN are explored: the structural optimization is realized via PSO whereas in case of the parametric optimization we proceed with a standard least square method-based learning. To evaluate the performance of the PSO-based PNN, the model is experimented with using Gas furnace process data, and pH neutralization process data. For the characteristic analysis of the given entire data with non-linearity and the construction of efficient model, the given entire system data is partitioned into two type such as Division I(Training dataset and Testing dataset) and Division II(Training dataset, Validation dataset, and Testing dataset). A comparative analysis shows that the proposed PSO-based PNN is model with higher accuracy as well as more superb predictive capability than other intelligent models presented previously.

  • Botulism is a neuroparalytic disease caused by Clostridium botulinum, which produces seven (A-G) antigenically diverse neurotoxins (BoNTs). BoNTs are the most poisonous substances known to humans, with a median lethal dose ($LD_{50}$) of approximately 1 ng/kg of body weight. Owing to their extreme potency and lethality, they have the potential to be used as a bioterrorism agent. The mouse bioassay is the gold standard for the detection of botulinum neurotoxins; however, it requires at least 3-4 days for completion. Attempts have been made to develop an ELISA-based detection system, which is potentially an easier and more rapid method of botulinum neurotoxin detection. The present study was designed using a synthetic gene approach. The synthetic gene encoding the catalytic domain of BoNT serotype B from amino acids 1-450 was constructed with PCR overlapping primers (BoNT/B LC), cloned in a pQE30 UA vector, and expressed in an E. coli M15 host system. Recombinant protein production was optimized at 0.5 mM IPTG final concentration, 4 h post induction, resulting in a maximum yield of recombinant proteins. The immunogenic nature of the recombinant BoNT/B LC protein was evaluated by ELISA. Antibodies were raised in BALB/c mice using various adjuvants. A significant rise in antibody titer (p<0.05) was observed in the Alum group, followed by the Titermax Classic group, Freund's adjuvant, and the Titermax Gold group. These developed high-titer antibodies may prove useful for the detection of botulinum neurotoxins in food and clinical samples.

  • Recently, in an effort to reduce the energy efficiency design index (EEDI), studies on energy saving devices (ESDs) have been conducted. In this study, we designed a post-device suitable for a KRISO container ship (KCS) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In order to increase the efficiency of the post-device, a twisted rudder was used, which has a proven performance (showing a 1.34% reduction in DHP compared to the bare hull at 24 knots) in previous research at Pusan National University. In addition, an increase in efficiency was expected by the use of a rudder bulb, including the discontinuous section of the twisted rudder and a divergent propeller cap to prevent the contraction of the wake. The optimization criterion was the case where the delivery power was the least compared with the bare hull. We analyzed the cause of the efficiency increase through an analysis of the self-propulsion factor. The case study for optimization was divided into 4 types (1. clearance of the bulb and cap, 2. shape of the bulb, 3. size of the bulb and cap, and 4. asymmetric bulb). Finally, with a clearance of 50 mm from the ship, a spherical bulb with the cap having an angle of $5^{\circ}$, and an asymmetric rudder bulb with a bulb diameter of 1.2HH/1.4H (horizontal/vertical) showed a 2.05% reduction in DHP compared to the bare hull at 24 knots. We will fabricate a post-device that will be optimized in the future and verify the performance of the post-device through model tests.

  • ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic receptor (${\beta}_2-AR$) was expressed efficiently using Bac-to-Bac Baculovirus Expression System in Sf9 cells as a bio-recognition element for multianalyte screening of ${\beta}$-agonist residues in pork. Sf9 cells were selected as the expression system, and codon optimization of wild-type nucleic acid sequence and time-dependent screening of expression conditions were then carried out for enhancing expression level and biological activity. Under optimum conditions of multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 5 and 48 h post transfection, the protein yield was up to 1.23 mg/ml. After purification by chromatographic techniques, the purified recombinant protein was applied to develop a direct competitive enzyme-linked receptor assay (ELRA) and the efficiency and reliability of the assay was determined. The IC50 values of clenbuterol, salbutamol, and ractopamine were 28.36, 50.70, and $59.57{\mu}g/l$, and clenbuterol showed 47.61% and 55.94% cross-reactivities with ractopamine and salbutamol, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was $3.2{\mu}g/l$ and the relevant recoveries in pork samples were in the range of 73.0-91.2%, 69.4-84.6%, and 63.7-80.2%, respectively. The results showed that it had better performance compared with other present nonradioactive receptorbased assays, indicating that the genetically modified ${\beta}_2-AR$ would have great application potential in detection of ${\beta}$-agonist residues.

  • A bacterial isolate showing a strong endochitosanase activity was isolated from soil and then characterized. The isolate was identified and designated as Bacillus cereus P16, based on morphological and biochemical properties, assimilation tests, cellular fatty acids pattern, along with 16S rRNA gene sequence. The optimized medium for producing extracellular chitosanase in a batch culture contained 1% tryptone, 0.5% chitosan, and 1% NaCl (pH 7.0). Powder chitosan and tryptone served the best as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, for the chitosanase production. Chitosanase activity was the highest when culture was completed at $37^{\circ}C$ among various temperatures ($20-42^{\circ}C$) tested in a shaking incubator (200 rpm). The levels of chitosanase activity in the culture fluid were 2.0 U/ml and 3.8 U/ml, respectively, when incubated in a flask for 60 h and in a jar fermenter for 24 h. The culture supernatant showed a strong liquefying activity on the soluble chitosan. The viscosity of 1% chitosan solution, that was incubated with the culture supernatant, was rapidly decreased, suggesting the secretion of endochitosanolytic enzymes by P16. The culture fluid revealed six endo-type chitosanase isozymes, two major (38 and 45 kD), and four minor (54, 65, 82, and 96 kD) forms by staining profile. The crude enzymes were very stable, and full activity was maintained for 4 weeks at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;-20^{\circ}C$ in the culture supernatant, suggesting a highly desirable stability rate for making an industrial application of the crude enzymes. The supernatant also cleaved the insoluble chitosan powder, but the hydrolysis rate was much lower. The enzymic degradation products of chitosan contained $(GlcN)_n$ (n=2-8). The concentration of chitosan in the reaction mixture of the crude enzyme affected the chitooligosaccharides composition of the hydrolysis products. When the higher concentration of chitosan was used, the higher degree of polymerized chitooligosaccharides were produced. By comparison with other commercial chitosanase preparations, P16 was indeed found to be a valuable enzyme source for industrial production of chitooligosaccharides from chitosan.

  • 락툴로오스는 기존에 화학적인 이성화법을 통해 생산해왔던 기능성 당으로서 프로바이오틱스나 장내균총 개선을 위한 의약품으로 활용되어 왔다. 최근 락툴로오스 화학전환법의 단점인 촉매제거와 부산물제거 에너지손실등의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 생물촉매를 이용한 락툴로오스 전환법이 대두되었다. 본연구에서는 유당의 낮은 용해도와 락툴로오스의 효율적전환을 위해 최적의 효소를 선별하여 무작위 돌연변이법으로 유전자를 개량하여 열내성이 $75^{\circ}C$까지 증진되고 활성이 1.3배 향상된 효소를 선별하였다. 이 효소를 정제하여 사용하는 대신 본 연구에서는 과량 발현시킨 대장균을 Ca-alginate로 고정화하여 $70^{\circ}C$에서 200 g/l의 유당과 회분식으로 반응시켜 43%의 전환 수율을 확인하였다. 반복회분식 실험에서 고정화된 담체는 비교적 안정적이었으며 4회 반복반응 후에도 80% 이상의 활성을 유지하고 있었다. 산업적인 방법을 개발하기 위해 고정화 담체를 이용한 반응기의 운전 최적화와 담체의 안정화를 증진시키는 추가적인 연구가 필요하지만, 본 연구에서는 열내성 특성을 이용하여 정제된 효소가 아닌 효소를 발현하는 세포자체를 고정화 시킴으로써 경제성있는 생산에 대한 방법론을 제시하였다.

  • Luminol-$H_2O_2$-Cu(II) 시스템을 이용한 화학발광법을 사용하여 방향족 아미노산인 트립토판, 타이로신 및 페닐알라닌의 정량분석을 하였다. 세 종류의 방향족 아미노산(트립토판, 타이로신, 페닐알라닌)을 luminol-$H_2O_2$-Cu(II) 시스템에 첨가하였을 때 아미노산이 존재하지 않을 때보다 화학발광세기가 더욱 증가하는 현상을 관찰하였으며, 이러한 현상을 이용하여 각 방향족 아미노산을 정량분석 하였다. 방향족 아미노산의 최적분석 조건을 조사하기 위하여, Cu(II) 이온 촉매에 의한 루미놀과 과산화수소의 화학발광반응에 미치는 아미노산의 반응속도론적 영향을 조사하였고 과산화수소와 Cu(II) 이온의 농도 그리고 pH와 완충용액의 영향을 조사하였다. 루미놀 화학발광 시스템의 최적 분석조건 하에서 수용액 중의 방향족 아미노산 정량분석을 위해 얻은 검정곡선에서 직선성이 성립하는 농도 범위는 각각 트립토판은 $1.0{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;M$, 타이로신은 $1.0{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;M$ 그리고 페닐알라닌은 $2.0{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;M$이었으며, 이 구간에서 각 아미노산에 대한 상대표준편차(n = 4)는 순차적으로 3.21%, 2.64% 그리고 2.48%이었다. 그리고 각 아미노산의 검출한계($3{\sigma}/s$)는 트립토판 $6.8{\times}10^{-7}\;M$, 타이로신 $5.7{\times}10^{-7}\;M$, 페닐알라닌 $9.6{\times}10^{-7}\;M$이었다.

  • 리튬 2차 전지의 양극재료로 사용되는 스피넬형 망간산화물$(Li_xMn_2O_4)$의 전기화학적 특성과 스피넬 전극에서 용량 감소가 일어나는 원인들에 대해 알아보았고, 용량감소를 억제할 수 있는 방안들을 제시하였다. 스피넬 전극의 가역성은 스피넬 산화물의 합성방법에 따른 순도, 입자크기 및 입자크기 분포, 전극극판을 구성하는 활물질, 카본 도전재 및 결합제의 상대적인 함량 그리고 극판의 미세구조 등에 의해 결정된다. 또한 전해액을 구성하고 있는 유기용매와 리튬염의 종류도 스피넬 전극의 충방전특성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 스피넬의 합성단계에서는 불순물의 생성과 양이온 자리바꿈(cation mixing) 등을 최소화하여야 한다. 극판의 제조시 도전재의 양은 최소화하여야 하나 스피넬의 전도도가 작으므로 도전재의 양이 너무 적으면 극판의 저항에 의한 분극손실이 크다. 결합제는 극판 구성요소의 분산도와 기계적 강도의 측면에서 최적화되어야 한다. 액체전해질로 carbonate 계열의 용매에 fluorine을 포함하고 있는 리튬염을 사용할 경우에 전해액의 산화와 스피넬의 용해 정도가 적어 양극의 용량감소가 적다. 또한, 표면적이 크고 입자크기가 작은 도전재를 사용할 경우 분극손실은 적으나 잔해질의 분해반응이 심하므로 이들 사이에 적절한 trade-off가 요구된다.

  • The objective of this study was to establish an in vitro culture system for ovarian preantral follicles of B6D2F1. First, we optimized the in vitro preantral-follicle culture by culture duration, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) type, and activin A concentration. Duration of in vitro culture for 9, 11, and 13 days was sufficient for the normal development of preantral follicles to antral follicles. Formation of cumulus cell-oocyte complex (COC) was induced by treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG; 2.5 IU/mL) and epidermal growth factor (EGF; 5 ng/mL). In addition, metaphase II (MII) oocytes formed during this in vitro culture of preantral follicles. In vitro preantralfollicle culture for 9 days showed higher rates of growth and maturation, thus yielding a greater number of antral follicles, and there were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the number of MII oocytes (that formed from these preantral follicles via differentiation) between the 9-day culture and 11-day or 13-day culture. The follicles cultured for 9 days contained a tightly packed well-defined COC, whereas in follicles cultured for 11 days, the COC was not well defined (spreading was observed in the culture dish); the follicles cultured for 13 days disintegrated and released the oocyte. Second, we compared the growth of the preantral follicles in vitro in the presence of various FSH types. There were no significant differences in the growth and maturation rates and in differentiation into MII oocytes during in vitro culture between preantral follicles supplemented with FSH from Merck and those supplemented with FSH from Sigma. To increase the efficiency of MII oocyte formation, the preantral follicles were cultured at different activin A concentrations (0 to 200 ng/mL). The control follicles, which were not treated with activin A, showed the highest rate of differentiation into antral follicles and into MII oocytes among all the groups (0 to 200 ng/mL). Therefore, activin A (50 to 200 ng/mL) had a negative effect on oocyte maturation. Thus, in this study, we propose an in vitro system of preantral-follicle culture that can serve as a therapeutic strategy for fertility preservation of human oocytes for assisted reproductive medicine, for conservation of endangered species, and for creation of superior breeds.

  • The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) proposes 11 industries that handle Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) that are considered to need management. A water treatment facility is one of the above industries that takes in groundwater and produces drinking water through a water treatment process. Groundwater can accumulate natural radionuclides such as uranium and thorium in raw water by contacting rocks or soil containing natural radionuclides. Therefore, there is a possibility that workers in water treatment facilities will be exposed due to the accumulation of natural radionuclides in the water treatment process. The goal of this study is to evaluate the external radiation dose according to the working type of workers in water treatment facilities. In order to achieve the above goal, the study was conducted by dividing it into 1) analysis of the exposure environment, 2) measurement of the external radiation dose rate 3) evaluation of the external radiation dose. In the stage of analyzing the exposure environment, major processes that are expected to occur significantly were derived. In the measurement stage of the external radiation dose rate, a map of the external radiation dose rate was prepared by measuring the spatial radiation dose rate in major processes. Through this, detailed measurement points were selected considering the movement of workers. In the external radiation dose evaluation stage, the external radiation dose was evaluated based on the previously derived external radiation dose rate and working time. As a result of measuring the external radiation dose rate at the detailed points of water treatment facilities A to C, it was 1.90×10-1 to 3.75×100 μSv h-1, and the external radiation dose was analyzed as 3.27×10-3 to 9.85×10-2 mSv y-1. The maximum external radiation dose appeared during the disinfection and cleaning of activated carbon at facility B, and it is judged that natural radionuclides were concentrated in activated carbon. It was found that the external radiation dose of workers in the water treatment facility was less than 1mSv y-1, which is about 10% of the dose limit for the public. As a result of this study, it was found that the radiological effect of external radiation dose of domestic water treatment facility workers was insignificant. The results are expected to contribute as background data to present optimized safety management measures for domestic NORM industries in the future.
