This paper approaches the subject of consciousness and unconsciousness from a mathematical point of view. It sets up a hypothesis that when unconscious state becomes conscious state, high density energy is released. We argue that the process of transformation of unconsciousness into consciousness can be expressed using the infinite recursive Heaviside step function. We claim that differentiation of the potential of unconsciousness with respect to time is the process of being conscious in a world where only time exists, since the thinking process never have any concrete space. We try to attribute our unconsciousness to a special solution of the multi-dimensional advection partial differential equation which can be represented by the finite recursive Heaviside step function. Mathematical language explains how the infinitive neural process is perceived and understood by consciousness in a definitive time.

MicroRNA (miRNA)는 작은 크기의 RNA분자로서 동식물의 유전자 발현 과점을 직접적으로 조절하는 인자로 알려져 있다. MiRNA는 보통 목표 유전자의 3'-UTR 영역에 상보성을 갖고 결합함으로써 작용하며 특히 miRNA의 5'부분의 8 nt 정도가 seed로서 중요하다고 알려져 있다. 반면 최근의 연구에 따르면 seed 부분의 서열의 조성 및 양상이 변화함에 따라 특이도가 결정됨을 알 수 있지만 기존의 컴퓨터를 이용한 miRNA 목표 유전자 예측 방법들은 이러한 정보를 활용하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 열역학적인 수치와 서열의 조성뿐 아니라 miRNA:mRNA pair의 위치에 기반한 정보들을 학습에 자질로서 포함하여 목표 유전자를 예측한다. 그 결과는 위치 기반 자질이 학습 성능 향상에 중요하게 기여함을 보여준다.

In the conventional load flow technique, it is assumed that the generator at the slack bus is used to supply the transmission losses and the change of power due to the generator outage. The assumption is not true in physical sense. This paper presents a new load flow technique that considers the governor-frequency characteristics and load-frequency characteristics and the technique is consistent with the actual power system phenomenon. This paper proposes an efficient methodology using sensitivity with the new technique for contingency analysis, which is used to calculate the line flows. Computational results of this technique applied to IEEE 14-bus system are presented.

Due to the fault signal containing high and/or slowly decaying dc off-set component, saturation of current transformers cause errors in reproducing secondary current and therefore, secondary current is distorted, which cause relay to maloperate. In this paper, a new method which determines whether current transfomer is saturated is proposed. By designing digital filter of current transfomer, although secondary is distorted, exact secondary current can be reproduced.

The progenitor star properties of supernovae (SNe) are not fully understood though a large number of SNe have been discovered so far. One of the promising ways to understand the properties of progenitor stars is to study SN early light curve where the shock heated emission after explosion is imprinted in. We have performed Intensive Monitoring Survey of Nearby Galaxies (IMSNG) using a global network of telescopes with the aim to snatch the very early moments of SNe explosion. As one of the fruits of our project, we present the result on the type Ic SN, SN 2017ein which was discovered at 2017 May 25 in NGC 3938. We will present the physical properties of the type Ic SN progenitor star that are obtained from the analysis of early epoch data.

The quadratic and cubic force constants of hydrogen molecule are calculated by use of the one center function of Bishop. The master formula on which the computation is based was suggested by the previous work of one of the present authors. The results are in good agreement with the experimental values.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is mainly composed of lime and silica. Its four major phases are tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and tetracaclcium aluminoferrite. MTA has relatively long initial setting time (2h 45m) and various additives can be added to reduce setting time. Compressive strength of MTA increases with time and reaches 100 MPa after 28 days. MTA has high pH of 9-12.5 because of the formation of calcium hydroxide during its hydration reaction. MTA has superior sealing ability to amalgam and IRM when it is used in perforation repair or root end filling. MTA is safe in cytotoxicity and genotoxicity and have potential to promote pulpal and periapical hard tissue formation.

Apicidin is a cyclic tetrapeptide produced by some Fusarium species and is known to inhibit Apicomplexan histone deacetylase. The goals of this study were to determine species identity of Fusarium isolate KCTC16676, an apicidin producer, to improve a method for apicidin extraction, and to test phytotoxicity of apicidin and its analogs. We compared sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF) gene in KCTC16676 with those from isolates representing diverse Fusarium species, which showed that KCTC16676 belongs to the F. semitectum-F. equiseti species complex. To enhance apicidin production, after culturing isolate KCTC16676 on a wheat medium for 3 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$, the culture was extracted with chloroform. Apicidins were purified through a reverse phase $C_{18}$ silica gel column, resulting in 5 g of apicidin, 200 mg of apicidin A, and 300 mg of apicidin $D_2$ from 4 kg of wheat cultures; this represents a significant yield improvement from a previous method, offers more materials to study the modes of its action, and facilitates the elucidation of the apicidin biosynthesis pathway. Apicidin and apicidin $D_2$ showed phytotoxicity on both seedlings and 2-week-old plants of diverse species, and weeds were more sensitive to apicidins than vegetables

We present our study of the correlation between star formation rate(SFR) and merging activities of nearby galaxies(d<150Mpc). Our study uses 265 UV-selected galaxies which are not classified as AGN. The UV selection is made using the GALEX Atlas of Galaxies (Gil de Paz+07) and the updated UV catalog of nearby galaxies (Bai+15). We use deep R band optical images reaching to $1{\sigma}$ surface brightness detection limit ${\sim}27mag/arcsec^2$ to classify merger features by visual inspection. We also estimated unobscured SFR($SFR_{NUV}$) and obscured SFR($SFR_{W4}$) using Near-UV continuum and 22 micron Mid-IR luminosity respectively as a indicator of star forming activity. The fraction of galaxies with merger features in each SFR bin is obtained to see if how the fraction of galaxies with merging features($F_m$) changes as a function of SFR. As a result, for 203 late type galaxies(LTGs), we found that merger fraction increases from ~8% up to 50% with $SFR_{W4}$, while for 229 LTGs $SFR_{NUV}$ shows relatively consistent fraction(~18%) of merger fraction. For early type galaxies(ETGs), we could also find no significant correlation between $F_m$ and SFR(both $SFR_{NUV}$ and $SFR_{W4}$). This result suggests that a main driver of star forming activity of UV bright galaxies, especially for obscured late types, is mergers.
