  • Antibiotic residues of raw milks collected in Anyang area were tested by TTC-reduction test, EEC-4plate method and TLC(SOS-kit ) method to improve and monitor the quality of milk. Antibiotic substances were not detected from 100 raw milk samples, but sulfamethazine was detected from only one sample(1.3PPM) by SOS test. Unclassified anti-microbic substances were detected from 22 samples by EEC-4 plate method. EEC-4 plate test was useful to categorize the species of antibacterial substances and SOS test was useful to detect the sulfamethazine field screening test.

  • The incidence of blindness resulting from diabetic retinopathy has significantly increased despite the intervention of insulin to control diabetes mellitus. Early signs are microaneurysms, exudates, intraretinal hemorrhages, cotton wool patches, microvascular abnormalities, and venous beading. Advanced stages include neovascularization, fibrous formations, preretinal and vitreous microhemorrhages, and retinal detachment. Microaneurysm count is important because it is an indicator of retinopathy progression. The purpose of this paper is to apply data mining to detect diabetic retinopathy patterns in routine fundus fluorescein angiography. Early symptoms are of principal interest and therefore the emphasis is on detecting microaneurysms rather than vessel tortuosity. The analysis does not involve image-recognition algorithms. Instead, mathematical filtering isolates microaneurysms, microhemorrhages, and exudates as objects of disconnected sets. A neural network is trained on their distribution to return fractal dimension. Hausdorff and box counting dimensions grade progression of the disease. The field is acquired on fluorescein angiography with resolution superior to color ophthalmoscopy, or on patterns produced by physical or mathematical simulations that model viscous fingering of water with additives percolated through porous media. A mathematical filter and neural network perform the screening process thereby eliminating the time consuming operation of determining fractal set dimension in every case.

  • Carbon-nanotube metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (CN-MOSFET) is a promising future device candidate. The electrical characteristics of 16 nm N-type CN-MOSFETs are explored in this paper. The optimum N-type CN-MOSFET device profiles with different number of tubes are identified for achieving the highest on-state to off-state current ratio ($I_{on}/I_{off}$). The influence of substrate voltage on device performance is also investigated in this paper. Tradeoffs between subthreshold leakage current and overall switch quality are evaluated with different substrate bias voltages. Technology development guidelines for achieving high-speed, low-leakage, area efficient, and manufacturable carbon nanotube integrated circuits are provided.

  • An appropriate amount of samples, collected from three each paddy forest, field and riverside soil near Taegu city, was suspended in sterile water and then diluted in order to isolation of antagonistic to oral cancer. The diluted samples were inoculated on separating medium in the routing spreading method. So, seven hundred and eighteen strains were isolated on HV agar and 220 strains were on methanol medium from soil samples. So, during the screening of anti-oral cancer activity from soil, we isolated microorganisms showing powerful antagonistic activity. Among them, No. 78 strain exhibited the most strongly anti-oral cancer activity. Microbiological properties were investigated by the methods described in the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology and experimental methods of identification of actinomycetes by Hamada et al. As a result, a methylotrophic actinomycetes strain No. 79 was estimated as Amycolatopsis sp. based on taxonomic studies.

  • Hypertension has already become a serious health problem in many countries. Treatment is effective, however, and the detection and long-term management of those at risk pose sustained challenges. Community programs can be an important strategy for primary prevention of hypertention and for monitoring the progress and promoting compliance of hypertensive patients. Hwachon Health Demonstrain Project has designed community hypertention control program, especially emphasizing role of public health sector, and operate that model from 1990 at Hwachon county, Kwangwon province. This paper appraise the effectiveness of curent activities. Many paper appraise the effectiveness of curent activities. Many hypertensive persons who have not recognized his disease were identified and began hypertension treatment. However about two thirds of patients have not complied continuously with medical advice. Consequently, the project team redirects its efforts. Less emphasis is being placed screening and identification of patients, while more emphasis is being placed on increasing compliance with treatment recommendations. Some approches to improve hypertension control program are also discussed in the context of the field experience and literature on this suvjest.

  • Two-step identification approach for effective bridge health monitoring is proposed to alleviate the issues associated with many unknown parameters faced in the real structures and to improve the accuracy in the estimate results. It is suitable for on-line monitoring scheme, since the damage assessment is not always needed to be carried out whereas the alarming for damages is to be continuously monitored. In the first step for screening potential damaged members, damage indicator method based on modal strain energy, probabilistic neural networks and the conventional neural networks using grouping technique are used and then the conventional neural network technique is utilized for damage assessment on the screened members in the second step. The proposed methods are verified through a field test on the northern-most span of old Hannam Grand Bridge.

  • The development and maintenance of a sound bond are an essential requirements of concrete repair and replacement. The bond property of a bonded overlay to its substrate concrete during the lifetime is one of the most important performance requirements which should be quantified. A standard or a verified bond strength measurement method is required at field for screening, selecting materials and quality control for overlay or repair materials. This study compares the nipple pipe direct tensile test, flexural adhesion test, and core pull-off test with their test results. Substantial differences in the failure stresses of three test methods were attributed to their different geometries and loading conditions. From these comparison and investigation, core pull-off test was relatively good because the coefficient of variation values were about 2%. It would be suitable for use in-situ because of its simplicity and accuracy.

  • During the screening or antiviral substances having inhibitory effect on tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) infection to tobacco plants, we found that a bacterial isolate, KTB61, which was identified as a Pseudomonas sp., strongly inhibited the formation of TMV local lesions. When the culture filtrate from KTB61 was applied on the upper surface of leaves of N. tabaccum Xanthi-nc tobacco at the same time of or 24 hours before TMV inoculation, almost complete inhibition was achieved. Incidence of systemic TMV infection to the susceptible tobacco cultivar, NC82, was reduced by 95% when TMV was inoculated onto the upper surface of leaves 24 hours after spraying the culture filtrate. Also 75∼80% of inhibitory effect was obtained by the inoculation of TMV onto the under surface of the leaves treated with culture filtrate 24 hours beforehand. In field trials, the TMV infection was reduced by 96.5% when the tobacco seedlings, N. tabaccum cv. NC82, were soaked with culture filtrate before transplanting.
