In this study, the effect of sericin on synthesis of the silica was investigated. Using the mixture of sericin solution and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), it was confirmed that silica could be synthesized in the presence of sericin, which was verified by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transformed infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR) analysis. The TGA and FT-IR data revealed that silica-sericin complex was formed as a final product. Based on the TGA result, the content of silica and sericin in the complex would be 87 and 13%, respectively. The degree of silica condensation was higher than the natural biosilica. It could be concluded that sericin can induce the synthesis of silica directly from TEOS, which is similar to silicatein from marine sponges.

Isolation frequency of microorganisms from marine sources was examined with different media and samples collected from the coastal area of Cheju Island. From sea water samples, about 1% of microorganisms from the total number of bacteria were recovered. Microorganisms were cultured at the much lower frequency of 10$\^$-4/-10$\^$-6/ from other marine sources such as sediment, sponges and corals. The frequency of duplicated isolation was examined with 140 morphologically different colonies isolated on different media. Fourteen percent of them exhibited the same morphology on two different media. The duplication frequency of the isolates among three different media was 33%.

Two new species of the family Irciniidae, Psammocinia wandoensis n.sp. and P.samyangensis n. sp., are described. They were collected from the South Sea, Korea. P. wandoensis n. sp. closely resembles P. rugosa(Lendenfed, 1889)from Australia in morphology, but new species differs from P. rugosa by the filaments. Though P. samyangensis n. sp. is very similar to P. jejuensis, but our species differs from P. Jejuensis by the fibre shape.

Marine sponges are known to be a source of diverse sterols. In our study on the cytotoxic components of the marine sponge Spirastrella abata, $5{\alpha},8{\alpha}-epidioxy\;{\Delta}^6$ sterols (1-5) and $5{\alpha},8{\alpha}-epidioxy\;{\Delta}^{6,9(11)}$ sterols (6-7) were isolated. The structures were identified based on the analyses of $^1H-NMR,\;^{13)C-NMR$, and MS data. These compounds were assayed for cytotoxicity against 5 human solid tumor cell lines including A549, SK-OV- 3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and HCT15.

A new marine sponges, Mycale (Carmia) ieoensis n. sp., of the family Mycalidae was collected SCUBA diving in June 2017 from Ieodo Ocean Research Station, Korea. M. (C.) ieoensis n. sp. is encrusting to irregular massive type, yellow in life. This new species is similar to M. nullarosette Hoshino, 1981 in color and growth form but it differs in spicule size and sigma shape. Spicule size of M. (C.) ieoensis n. sp. smaller than that M. nullarosette. Also, M. (C.) ieoensis n. sp. has two size toxa, but M. nullarosette is not. The new species are compared to other Mycale species from the Korean region, and similar species from elsewhere.

Four new species, Semitaspongia jejuensis, Scalarispongia regularis, S. nigra and Dysidea violata are described from Jejudo, Korea. They were collected from 15 m depth by SCUBA diving and from intertidal area by hand. Semitaspongia jejuensis n. sp. is easily distinguished from other Semitaspongia species in growth form, conules, colour, skeletal structure, diameter of fibre and habitat. Scalarispongia regularis n. sp. is very close to S. scalaris (Schmidt, 1862) in skeletal structure, but S. scalaris has longer conules, larger meshes, longer distance between primary fibres, and highly developed subdermal canal system. Scalarispongia nigra n. sp. is very close to S. regularis in skeletal structure but can be easily distinguished by its black colour of external surface and growth form. Dysidea violata n. sp. is similar with D. ethria (Laubenfels, 1936) in sponge appearance, but D. etheria is clearly defined by its blue colour and thickness of fibre.

The sponge-dwelling shrimp, Anchistioides compressus Paulson, 1875, is recorded from Munseom Islet, Jejudo Island, Korea for the first time. All specimens were collected inside the orange coloured sponges by trimix diving at depth from 36-45 m on the rocky reef slope. Anchistioides compressus is characterized by the shape of the rostrum, the posterolateral teeth of the sixth somite, stylocerite being well developed, the anterior margin of the scaphocerite sharply produced, and the biunguiculate dactyli of the ambulatory pereiopods, as well as the proportions of the fingers of the second pereiopods. An illustrated description of the specimens and colour photo are provided to aid future recognition.

딥러닝 모델이 다양한 분야에 적용되면서, 딥러닝 모델에 대한 보안이 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 특히, 입력 데이터에 섭동(perturbation)을 추가하여 모델의 정상적인 추론을 방해하는 적대적 공격(Adversarial Attack)에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 객체 탐지 모델의 NMS(Non-Maximum Suppression) 알고리즘에 대한 적대적 공격 기법 중 하나인 Phantom Sponges 공격을 수행하여 적대적 예제(Adversarial Example)를 생성하고, 원본 이미지와의 유사성을 측정하여 분석하고자 한다.

The porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) has been widely used as a biomaterial without immuno rejection responses and hyalunonic acid (HA) can be used as biocompatible materials to regenerate tissue. We developed the SIS sponge and HA loaded SIS sponges (SIS/HA) for the possibility of the application of the tissue engineering using annulus fibrosus (AF). SEM observation shows that SIS and SIS/HA sponges have interconnected and open pores. We demonstrated the presence of HA in SIS/HA sponge from C-O functional group observed by the FTIR analysis. In conclusion, we suggest that SIS/HA sponge may be useful to tissue engineering using AF cell. This may be due to the enhanced biocompatibility and higher water retention capacity of HA.

Two new marine sponges of family Tedaniidae, Tedania (Tedon iu) songakensis n. sp. and Tedania (Tedonia) sasuensis n. sp. were collected from Jeju Island and Chuja Island, Korea between 2004 and 2005. T. (T.) songakensis n. sp. is similar to T (T.) purpurescen Bergquist and Fromont, 1988 based on its type of spicules, but is distinguished from growth form and size of small onychaetes. The growth form of this species is massive, and is compared with thin encrusting of Tedania (T.) purpurescen. The onychaetes of the new species is twice as long as that of T. (T.) purpurescen. T. (T.) sasuensis n. sp. is closely related to T. (T.) connectens (Bronsted, 1924) in type of spicules. However, it is different in size of onychaetes and growth form. The large onychaetes of new species is larger than that of T (T.) connectens. The small onychaetes of new species is smaller than that of T. (T.) connectens. The growth form is massive in new species, but thick encrustins in T.(T.) connectens. And T. (T.) songakensis n. sp. is similar to T. (T.) sasuensis n. sp. in growth form. However, the former is widely different from the latter in shape, color and size of all spicules.
