요즘 스마트폰과 스마트 TV와 같은 스마트 기기에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 보다 다양한 기능을 포함하는 영상장치가 주목받고 있다. 특히, 스마트 TV는 3차원 영상을 서비스함에 따라 보다 고화질의 3차원 영상을 효율적으로 부호화하는 것이 중요하다. 최근 MPEG(moving picture experts group) 그룹에서는 다시점 영상과 깊이 영상을 동시에 압축하여 부호화하는 표준화 작업이 진행되고 있다. 제한된 수의 시점을 이용하여 편안한 3차원 입체 영상을 재현하기 위해서는, 충분한 수의 중간시점의 영상을 생성해야 한다. 깊이정보를 이용하여 3차원 워핑을 수행하면 가상시점의 영상을 합성할 수 있는데, 깊이값의 정확도에 따라 화질이 달라진다. 스테레오 정합 기술을 이용하여 깊이맵을 획득할 때 객체의 경계와 같은 깊이값 불연속 영역에서 깊이값 오류가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 오류는 생성한 중간영상의 배경에 원치 않는 잡음을 생성한다. 본 논문에서는 편안한 3차원 비디오 재현을 위하여 깊이맵을 기반으로 중간시점의 영상을 생성할 때 발생하는 경계 잡음을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 중간시점의 영상을 합성할 때 비폐색 영역을 합성한 후 경계 잡음이 발생할 수 있는 영역을 구별한 다음, 잡음이 없는 참조영상으로 대체함으로써 경계 잡음을 제거할 수 있다. 실험 결과를 통해 배경 잡음이 사라진 자연스러운 합성영상을 생성했다.

식물의 유일한 활성 스테로이드 호르몬인 Brassinosteroid (BR)는 다양한 내재적 또는 외부 신호 전달 경로와의 통합적인 결합을 통해 식물의 생장 및 발달 과정에서 중요한 기능을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 식물학 연구들은 종자의 발아와 초기 발달과정에서 BR과 ABA 사이의 필수적인 상호작용 메커니즘이 존재하고 있음을 보고하고 있다. 하지만 이들 두 호르몬의 중요한 신호전달 상호작용에 대한 분자 메커니즘은 거의 알려지지 않았다. 식물의 초기 발달과정에서 BR에 의해 매개되는 ABA 신호전달과의 기능학적, 생물학적 상호작용 네트워크를 이해하기 위해 Agilent Arabidopsis $4{\times}44K$ 올리고 칩을 사용하여 비교 전사체 분석을 수행하였다. ABA에 반응하지 않는 bes1-D 돌연변이체에서의 ABA 처리에 따른 다양한 유전자의 발현 패턴을 야생형 식물과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 발현의 변화가 발생하는 유전자(DEGs) 2,353개를 확인하였다. GO 분석을 통해 ABA 신호전달 및 대사에 관여하는 유전자들이 BR 신호전달 경로에 의해 하향 조절되는 것으로 확인되었다. 뿐만 아니라, BR 신호전달 경로는 다양한 비생물학적/생물학적 스트레스, 오옥신 및 ROS 등 다양한 신호전달 체계와 밀접하게 연관되어 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 BR 신호전달의 활성화는 ABA 신호전달에 관여하는 다양한 유전자들의 발현을 억제함을 확인하였다. 또한 본 연구는 다양한 신호 경로 사이의 상호작용이 다양한 환경요인에 대한 식물의 적응 반응에 중요하게 작용할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

자기 현가적(self-sustaining) 조절 장치인 생체시계는 24시간 주기의 생체리듬을 조절하며 또한 생물체로 하여금 매일 변화하는 자연환경의 외부 신호를 인지할 수 있도록 해준다. 생체시계 유전자의 발현 조절은 전사/해독의 역환류 기작을 통해 이루어진다. 애기장대 LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY)와 CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1)는 아침에 최고조로 발현되며 해독된 LHY and CCA1는 저녁에 최고로 발현되는 TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (TOC1)의 발현을 억제한다. TOC1단백질은 LHY와 CCA1 발현을 촉진시킴으로써 생체시계의 핵심 진자(oscillator)를 형성한다. 동물에서 생체시계의 주요 전사 인자인CLOCK은 아세틸화효소 활성 기능을 가지며, 이는 생체시계의 기능 유지에 아세틸화의 중요함을 의미한다. 하지만 애기장대 생체시계에 아세틸화를 담당하는 인자에 대한 정보는 현재 보고된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서 DET1 (De-Etiolated1)는 암조건하에서 애기장대 생체시계 관련 핵심인자 중 하나인 LHY발현을 억제하는데 필요하며 이의 억제는 H3Ac 조절을 통해 이루어짐을 증명하였다. 하지만 LHY 아세틸화를 담당하는 효소의 발굴 및 이들 효소와 DET1과의 연결을 찾는 문제는 여전히 미재로 남아있다.

In mammals, puberty is a dynamic transition process from infertile immature state to fertile adult state. The neuroendocrine aspect of puberty is started with functional activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal hormone axis. The timing of puberty can be altered by many factors including hormones and/or hormone-like materials, social cues and metabolic signals. For a long time, attainment of a particular body weight or percentage of body fat has been thought as crucial determinant of puberty onset. However, the precise effect of high-fat (HF) diet on the regulation of hypothalamic GnRH neuron during prepubertal period has not been fully elucidated yet. The present study was undertaken to test the effect of a HF diet on the puberty onset and hypothalamic gene expressions in immature female rats. The HF diet (45% energy from fat, HF group) was applied to female rats from weaning to around puberty onset (postnatal days, PND 22-40). Body weight and vaginal opening (VO) were checked daily during the entire feeding period. In the second experiment, all animals were sacrificed on PND 36 to measure the weights of reproductive tissues. Histological studies were performed to assess the effect of HF diet feeding on the structural alterations in the reproductive tissues. To determine the transcriptional changes of reproductive hormone-related genes in hypothalamus, total RNAs were extracted and applied to the semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Body weights of HF group animals tend to be higher than those of control animals between PND 22 and PND 31, and significant differences were observed PND 32, PND 34, PND 35 and PND 36 (p<0.05). Advanced VO was shown in the HF group (PND $32.8{\pm}0.37$ p<0.001) compared to the control (PND $38.25{\pm}0.25$). The weight of ovaries (p<0.01) and uteri (p<0.05) from HF group animals significantly increased when compared to those from control animals. Corpora lutea were observed in the ovaries from the HF group animals but not in control ovaries. Similarly, hypertrophy of luminal and glandular uterine epithelia was found only in the HF group animals. In the semi-quantitative RT-PCR studies, the transcriptional activities of KiSS-1 in HF group animals were significantly higher than those from the control animals (p<0.001). Likewise, the mRNA levels of GnRH (p<0.05) were significantly elevated in HF group animals. The present study indicated that the feeding HF diet during the post-weaning period activates the upstream modulators of gonadotropin such as GnRH and KiSS-1 in hypothalamus, resulting early onset of puberty in immature female rats.

The purpose of this study was to investigate(Ⅰ) the effect of a masculine-feminine image in women's suit on the perception of the wearer's occupational characteristics and suitability of the clothing for certain occupations, and (2) the effect of perceiver's sex, sex-role attitudes, and occupation on the perception formed by the function of clothing cues. The research design of the study consisted of 2(pink and navy blue colors) × 4(masculine and feminine forms) factorial design of a suit. The experimental materials developed for this study were a set of stiuli and 2 response scales. The stimuli consisted of 8 drawings of woman's clothing made by systematic manipulations of 2 independent variables(color and form) in drawings of suit. The dependent variables were the perceptions of the wearer's occupational characteristics and suitability of the masculine or feminine clothing for certain occupations. Occupational characteristics were measured with a 7-point semantic differential scale composed of 21 bipolar adjectives. Perception of ccupational suitability was assessed with 12 items of 5-point Likert type questions. In addition, the Bem Sex-role Inventory was used to assess perceiver's sex-role attitudes. The subjects consisted of 393 men and 389 women, whose occupations were classified as professionals, secondary school teachers, and white-collar workers. They were randomly assigned to one of 8 suit. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, MANOVA, ANOVA, Mean and S.D. Three factors emerged to account for the perception of occupational characteristics. These factors were given the titles of (1) activity, (2) potency, and (3) evaluation factors. The activity factor was the largest, including 9 adjectives. Differences in the form of the suit had effects on potency and evaluation for both sexes, while it also had some effect on activity for women. The color of the suit had some effect on evaluation for both sexes. Strong effects of color and form on the suit were seen in perception of occupational suitability for the occupations of attorney(masculine) and secretary(feminine). On suitability for secondary school teaching occupation, the effects of color and form of suit differed by sex of the subjects. Perceiver's sex-role attitudes and occupation paritally influenced the perception of the wearer's occupational characteristics and suitability of the clothing for certain occupations. In summary, a masculine-feminine image of clothing had a significant effect on the perception of occupational characteristics as well as on suitability of the clothing for certain occupations. Thus, the results of the study support the implicit personality theory on person perception and also the stereotypes of sex-roles on the perception of occupational suitability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) the effect of a masculine-feminine image in women's blouse·skirt on the perception of the wearer's occupational characteristics and suitability of the clothing for certain occupations, and (2) the effect of perceiver's sex, sex-role attitudes, and occupation on the perception formed by the function of clothing cues. The research design of the study consisted of 2(skirt color) × 2(blose color) × 3(masculine-feminine blouse forms) factorial desing of a blouse·skirt set. The experimental materials developed for this study were a set of stimuli and 2 response scales. The stimuli consisted of 12 drawings of woman's clothing made by systematic manipulations of 2 independent variabels (color and form) in drawings of blouse-skirt. The dependent variables were the perceptions of the wearer's occupational characteristics and suitability of the masculine or feminine clothing for certain occupations. Occupational characteristics were measured with a 7-point semantic differential scale composed of 21 bipolar adjectives. Perception of occupational suitability was assessed with 12 items of 5-point Likert type questions. In addition, the Bem Sex-role Inventory was used to assess perceiver's sex-role attitudes. The subjects consisted of 393 men and 389 women, whose occupations were classified as professionals, secondary school teachers, and white-collar workers. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, MANOVA, ANOVA, Mean and S.D. Three factors emerged to account for the perception of occupational characteristics. These factors were given the titles of (1) activity, (2) potency, and (3) evaluation factors. The activity factor was the largest, including 9 adjectives and accounting for 33.3% of the variance in blouse-skirt. On the blouse-skirt set, the form of the blouse had an effect on activity and evaluation for both sexes, while the color of the skirt had an effect on evaluation for both sexes as well as on potency for men. Strong effect of color and form on blouse·skirt were seen in perception of occupational suitability for the occupations of attorney(masculine) and secretary(feminine). On suitability for secondary school teaching occupations, the effects of color and form of blouse·skirt differed by sex of the subjects. Male subjects determined suitability by the color of the blouse, while female subjects determinied suitability on the basis of the form of the blouse. Perceiver's sex-role attitude and occupation partially influenced the perception of the wearer's occupational characteristics and suitability of the clothing for certain occupations.

To investigate the role of temperatures and photoperiods as environmental cues regulating reproductive rhythm in Pseudobagrus fulvidraco, rearing experiments were conducted using sveral rearing regimes conbined with photoperiods and water temperatures during gonadal degeneration periods. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) in control was $8.16{\pm}1.50%$, while in other experiment GSI levels in female were lower than that in the control. In case of experimental precinct of 9 light (L) and 15 L, GSI levels were decreased. But GSI level with $20^{\circ}C$ was no diffrence after 40 and 60 days. GSI level in male of control was $0.35{\pm}0.05%$. GSI under 9 L and $25^{\circ}C$ was similar to that in control, whereas its level in other experiments was lower than that in control. Testosterone (T) of female was $3.68{\pm}0.22$ ng/mL at experimental precinct. In case of 9 L and 15 L, concentration of T were lower than experimental precinct in all of water temperature. Estradiol-$17{\beta}$ ($E_2$) and $7{\alpha}$, $20{\beta}$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one ($17{\alpha}20{\beta}OHP$) levels of female were $0.42{\pm}0.02$ and $0.83{\pm}0.01$ ng/mL at experimental precinct. $E_2$ levels of 9 and 15 L were higher than experimental precinct and $17{\alpha}20{\beta}OHP$ levels of 9 and 15 L were higher than experimental precinct. In case of T and 11-ketotestosterone levels were $0.69{\pm}0.11$ and $.62{\pm}0.03$ ng/mL in male. During the period of gonadal degeneration, gonadal maturation did not occur in any of the experimental regimes. However, comparatively high levels of $E_2$ observed at low temperature regimes ($20^{\circ}C$) regardless of photoperiods.

The impact of childhood experience has lifelong significance on subsequent health and development. Especially, the experience of infant is mostly affected by the quality of parental care and rearing environment. But the new mothers usually do not know what to do because of the lack of experience in these days. Therefore, an educational program regarding maternal role would be necessary. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the maternal role education program for mother-infant interaction, child-rearing environment, and infant development. Non-equivalent control group time-series design was used, and Barnard's mother-infant interaction model was used as a conceptual framework of this study. The subjects were the healthy infants weighing over 2,500gm at birth, whose gestational age was more than 37 weeks, and their mothers. The final sample consisted of 19 mother-infant dyads for intervention group and 18 dyads for control group. Data were collected from March 15th to September 3rd in 1999. For the intervention group, programmed education which focused on mother-infant interaction, breast feeding, and infant care was provided before discharge. Telephone counselling was provided within one week after discharge. Home visiting for maternal role education was provided twice, one month and three months postpartum. For the control group, home visiting was also conducted but only for data collection. The data were analyzed using chi-square test and t-test to test the equivalence of two groups, and the effectiveness of intervention program was determined with repeated measure ANCOVA and t-test. The results were as follows: 1. Significant differences were found in mother-infant interaction between two groups(p=.000). It indicates that intervention program was effective in improving mother- infant interaction. In subscale analysis, four out of six subscale showed significant differences between the groups: sensitivity to cues (p=.000), social-emotional growth fostering (p=.000), cognitive growth fostering(p=.000) in mothers, and responsiveness to caregiver (p=.019) in infants. 2. The difference in the mean score of childrearing environment (HOME) between the intervention group and control group was significant(p=.003). When each subscale of HOME was examined individually, intervention group showed significantly higher scores in the diversity of stimulation(p=.000), and mother's involvement(p=.001). 3. Three-month-Infants of the intervention group showed higher GQ in the Griffiths mental development scale(p=.026). In subscale analysis, significant differences were found in the personal-social(p=.005), and the hearing and speech(p=.003). In conclusion, the maternal role education program proved to be effective in promoting the mother-infant interaction, organizing the childrearing environment, and fostering the infant development. These results are very meaningful that we found maternal role education necessary for normal infants' mothers, and that nurses can make a great contribution in promoting health of infants and mothers.
