We report on electrochemical signal amplification using gap electrodes based on the redox cycling between gap electrodes. The distance between electrodes was controlled from $2{\mu}m$ to a few hundreds of nanometer by chemical deposition of reduced Au ion on the pre-defined electrodes. Enhanced redox current of ferri/ferrocyanide was obtained by redox cycling between the two working electrodes. The faradaic current is amplified about a thousand times in this redox system. Since the signal amplification is due to the shortened diffusion length between the two electrodes, the narrower the nanogap was, the better detection limit, calibration sensitivity, and dynamic range. The experimental results were discussed on the basis of the cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements.

APC 지정시설과 APC 미지정시설의 선별대와 작업자, 공중낙하균을 대상으로 하여 미생물 오염도를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 선별대의 경우 일반세균과 대장균군 모두 높은 수준으로 오염되어 있었고 S. aureus와 Salmonella도 검출되었다. 특히 모든 시료에서 S. aureus 의 오염이 매우 높아 제품으로의 직접적인 교차 오염이 우려되었다. 이와 같이 APC 지정시설과 APC 미지정시설간의 미생물 오염도 차이가 거의 없는 것은 기존의 APC 시설이 미생물학적 개념이 없이 단순히 저장의 용도로만 설치되었기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 하지만 GAP제도를 도입 운영하기 위하여 APC 시설은 단순한 농산물 저장의 기능뿐만 아니라 2차 오염이 발생할 수 없는 구조를 갖추어 위생적인 선별 및 유통이 이루어져야 하고, GAP 운영의 연장선에서 관리 운영해야 할 것 이다. 아울러 일정한 기간마다 시설에 대한 위해요소 분석을 하여 APC시설의 미생물학적 측면에서의 적절한 유지, 보관 여부를 모니터링 하고, 그 결과를 문서화 하여야 할 것이다.

The rock fracture detection by image analysis is significant for fracture measurement and assessment engineering. The paper proposes a novel image segmentation algorithm for the centerline tracing of a rock fracture based on Hessian Matrix at Multi-scales and Steger algorithm. A traditional fracture detection method, which does edge detection first, then makes image binarization, and finally performs noise removal and fracture gap linking, is difficult for images of rough rock surfaces. To overcome the problem, the new algorithm extracts the centerlines directly from a gray level image. It includes three steps: (1) Hessian Matrix and Frangi filter are adopted to enhance the curvilinear structures, then after image binarization, the spurious-fractures and noise are removed by synthesizing the area, circularity and rectangularity; (2) On the binary image, Steger algorithm is used to detect fracture centerline points, then the centerline points or segments are linked according to the gap distance and the angle differences; and (3) Based on the above centerline detection roughly, the centerline points are searched in the original image in a local window along the direction perpendicular to the normal of the centerline, then these points are linked. A number of rock fracture images have been tested, and the testing results show that compared to other traditional algorithms, the proposed algorithm can extract rock fracture centerlines accurately.

Frequent outbreaks of foodborne illness have been increasing the awareness of food safety. Conventional methods for pathogen detection and identification are labor-intensive and take days to complete. Some immunological, rapid assays are developed, but these assays still require prolonged enrichment steps. Recently developed biosensors have shown potential for the rapid detection of foodborne pathogens. In this study, an impedimetric biosensor was developed for rapid detection of Salmonella entritidis in food sample. To develop the biosensor, an interdigitated microelectrode (IME) was fabricated by using a semiconductor fabrication process. Anti-Salmonella antibodies were immobilized based on neutravidin-biotin binding on the surface of the IME to form an active sensing layer. To evaluate the effect of electrode gap on sensitivity of the sensor, 3 types of sensors with different electrode gap sizes (2, 5, and $10{\mu}m$) were fabricated and tested. The impedimetric biosensor could detect $10^3\;CFU/mL$ of Salmonella in pork meat extract with an incubation time of 5 min. This method may provide a simple, rapid, and sensitive method to detect foodborne pathogens.

본 연구는 저주파수 순음(264 Hz, 373 Hz, 528 Hz)을 이용하여 Within-/Cross-Channel Gap Detection Thresholds(WC/CC GDTs)를 통해서 피치인식 및 시간적 청각정보처리능력 특성을 알아보기 위해 실험연구를 실시하였다. 정상청력을 갖는 청년층 40명과 장년층 20명을 대상으로 WC/CC GDTs를 측정·비교분석하였다. WC GDTs 결과는 두 그룹 모두 평균적으로 2 ms ~ 4 ms를 갖으며, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. CC GDTs는 WC GDTs에 비해 두 그룹 모두 크게 증가하였으며, 특히 장년층의 결과가 청년층 결과에 비해 모두 8배 ~ 10배 증가하여 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. CC GDTs는 선/후행음의 주파수의 차이가 커질수록 모두 증가하는 경향이 나타났으며, 청년층은 증가폭이 일정한 반면 장년층은 증가폭이 둔화되는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 이러한 자료는 기존 음악적 자극에 대한 GDT와는 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 연구 결과는 GDT가 피치인식 메커니즘에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 청각 신경계의 비선형 반응에 대한 심리음향적 근거자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Welding is essential for the manufacture of a range of engineering components which may vary from very large structures such as ships and bridges to very complex structures such as aircraft engines, or miniature components for microelectronic applications. Especially, a domestic situation of the welding automation is still depend on the arc sensing system in comparison to the vision sensing system. Specially, the gap-detecting of workpiece using conventional arc sensor is proposed in this study. As a same principle, a welding current varies with the size of a welding gap. This study introduce to the fuzzy membership filter to cancel a high frequency noise of welding current, and ART2 which has the competitive learning network classifies the signal patterns the filtered welding signal. A welding current possesses a specific pattern according to the existence or the size of a welding gap. These specific patterns result in different classification in comparison with an occasion for no welding gap. The patterns in each case of 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and no welding gap are identified by the artificial neural network.

We studied electrochemical detection of Botulinum neurotoxin, Vaccinia virus, and Streptococcus Pneumoniae based on nanogap device. Target bio substances were employed as representative targets of protein, virus, and bacteria, respectively. Redox current generated by ferri/ferrocyanide as an electroactive probe was enhanced according to gap distance which was controlled by surface-catalyzed chemical deposition. We found that enhanced electrochemical signal leads more sensitive signal changes according to selective interaction of target and its complementary elements on the electrode or gap area. In case of Botulinum neurotoxin, the redox signal showed a time-dependent increase due to cleavage of the immobilized peptide which blocked redox cycling. Redox cycling was also hindered by Vaccinia virus and Streptococcus Pneumoniae which were selectively immobilized in the gap area.

본 논문에서는 네트워크 침입 탐지 시스템의 취약점 중 하나인 패킷 검출 시간 차이에 기인한 공격의 발생 가능성을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이런 종류의 공격 가능성을 줄이기 위하여 네트워크 기반 침입 탐지 시스템과 목적지 시스템간에 왕복 지연을 측정한 후 지연을 고려하여 패킷의 목적지 시스템 도착 예정 시간을 추정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법의 성능을 측정하기 위해 LAN상에서 소켓 프로그래밍을 이용하여 성능을 평가하였으며, 성능 평가 결과 시스템과 네트워크에 부담이 되지 않을 정도의 오버헤더만 있으면 패킷 검출 시차를 상당 부분 줄일 수 있음을 보여 준다. 특히, 가장 최근에 계산한 지연을 이용하는 최근 추정 방법이 가장 좋은 성능을 가짐을 알 수 있다.

아몰퍼스 자성와이어를 센서헤드로 이용한 금속 구조체의 미세결함 검사에 대해 검토하였다. 측정 방법은 스파이럴 코일의 균일 자장범위에 직선 갭을 가진 동판을 놓고 갭 주위를 관통하는 자속량의 차이를 센서헤드의 유기전압으로 측정하는 것이다. 이 결과 두께 1mm, 갭폭 0.5mm의 동판에 대해 100kHz~600kHz의 주라수 범위에 있어서 갭 근방에서 약 2.5mV의 전압차가 얻어져 결함의 유무를 확인할 수 있었다.

Many radionuclides exist in normal environment and artificial radionuclides also can be detected. The radionuclides ($^{131}I$) are widely used for labeling compounds and radiation therapy. In Korea, the radionuclide ($^{131}I$) is produced at the Radioisotope Production Facility (RIPF) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute in Daejeon. The residents around the RIPF assume that $^{131}I$ detected in environmental samples is produced from RIPF. To ensure the safety of the residents, the radioactive concentration of $^{131}I$ near the RIPF was investigated by monitoring environmental samples along the Gap River. The selected geographical places are near the nuclear installation, another possible location for $^{131}I$ detection, and downstream of the Gap River. The first selected places are the "front gate of KAERI", and the "Donghwa bridge". The second selected place is the sewage treatment plant. Therefore, the Wonchon bridge is selected for the upstream of the plant and the sewage treatment plant is selected for the downstream of the plant. The last selected places are the downstream where the two paths converged, which is Yongshin bridge (in front of the cogeneration plant). In these places, environmental samples, including sediment, fish, surface water, and aquatic plants, were collected. In this study, the radioactive iodine ($^{131}I$) detection along the Gap River will be investigated.
