Quantitative reverse transcription PCR is used for gene expression analysis as the accurate and sensitive method. To analyze quantification of gene expression changes in apple plants, 10 housekeeping genes (ACT, CKL, EF-1α, GAPDH, MDH, PDI, THFs, UBC, UBC10, and WD40) were evaluated for their stability of expression during infection by Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) or in cold-stress apple plant buds. Five reference-gene validation programs were used to establish the order of the most stable genes for ASGV as CKL>THFs>GAPDH>ACT, and the least stable genes WD40CKL>UBC10, and the least stable genes were ACT

Various sizes (0.2 ~ 1.2 mm) and developmental stages (referred to as Stage 1 ~ 3) of apical and lateral meristems were excised, together or separately, directly from dormant buds of apple 'Hongro'. They were mixed infected by Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd), Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) and Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), which are major viruses attacking apples. A total of 31 callus lines (> 10 mm in diameter) were obtained by culturing the explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 3.0 mg/L benzyladenine (BA) and 0.1 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and they were subjected to RT-PCR analysis for virus detection. A high rate of virus elimination (expressed as the percentage of calli that did not amplify during RT-PCR, i.e., RT-PCR negative calli per total number of calli obtained) was achieved for ACLSV (100%), ASSVd (93.7%), and ASPV (93.7%), whereas it was only 25.8% for ASGV. ASPV was detected in the presence of 2 ~ 3 bracts. Simultaneous virus elimination of ASSVd, ASPV, ACLSV, and ASGV occurred during the meristem culture, in which the early stages of the dormant buds (Stage 1) were used, because ASGV was mostly eliminated during that stage. The results of the present study will be valuable for the production of virus-free apple trees.

In worldwide, viral diseases of apple plants has caused the serious problems like reduced production and malformation of fruits. Also, the damages of apple plants by virus and/or viroid infection (Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus, Apple stem grooving virus, Apple mosaic virus, and Apple scar skin viroid) were reported in Korea. However there is few report about the protection approach against the infection by apple viruses. Therefore, this paper introduced the experimental protocol for the development of virus-free apple cultivars (Danhong, Hongan, Saenara, Summerdream). Apple plants were treated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and shoot tips were cultured in vitro. After heat treatment, the detection of apple viruses was performed by RT-PCR using virusspecific detection primers in new apple cultivars. With the heat treatments followed by in vitro shoot tip culture, the proportion of virus-free stocks of 'Danhong', 'Hongan', 'Saenara', and 'Summerdream' was 28%, 16%, 12%, and 12%, respectively. Taken together, this approach can be a good tool for production of virus-free apple stocks.

Regional odontodysplasia is a relatively rare condition in which both enamel and dentin are hypoplastic and hypocalcified. The result is localized arrest in tooth development. The etiology of regional odontodysplasia is uncertain, but, disturbance in vascular supply, somatic mutation, latent virus infection, trauma, hyperpyrexia, irradiation, nutrition, metabolic disorders and hereditary transmission are supported to be etiologic factors. Females are more often affected than males. (1.4 : 1). The maxillary arch is more often affected than the mandibular arch with the maxillary left quadrant being the most commonly involved. Affected teeth are hypoplastic, typically discolored yellow or yellowish brown, smaller in size and display a variety of surface marking including pitting and grooving. Radiographically, the teeth affected have been described to have a "ghost like" appearance or "fuzzy" appearance. Pulp calcification and denticles may be present within the pulp chambers of the affected teeth. In it's case, a 2 years old male visited for a treatment of uneruption of lower right teeth. Partial eruption of lower right deciduous central incisor and unerupted deciduous lateral incisor, deciduous canine and deciduous first molar showed severly delayed eruption state. On radiographic appearance, "Ghost like appearance", shortened root and opened apexes on lower right region were observed. It was suspected regional odontodysplasia with clinical and radiographic condition.

The investigation of the infection rate of domestic apple orchards by four types of apple viruses (Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus [ACLSV], Apple stem pitting virus [ASPV], Apple stem grooving virus [ASGV], Apple mosaic virus [ApMV]) and one type of viroid (Apple scar skin viroid, ASSVd) found that most apple trees were infected with viruses and viroid at the rate of 97.3%. By region, the infection rate in Jeongseon stood at 98.8%, Danyang at 100%, Yesan at 100%, Jangsu at 89.1%, and Muju at 98.1%. By each virus and viroid, the infection rate of ASGV was the highest at 93.4%, followed by ASPV at 85.7%, ACLSV at 59.0%, ASSVd at 6.7%, and ApMV at the lowest 3.6%. In addition, 84.8% of the cases were infected with two or more types of viruses and viroid, nearly seven times the single type infection rate of 12.4%, and the cases infected with three viruses, ASPV, ACLSV, and ASGV accounted for 56.2%, more than the half the total number of trees investigated.

본 논문에서는 30% 내외의 평균반사율을 가지는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 입사광 손실을 최소화하여 광전변환효율 극대화를 구현하기 위해서 SF6/O2 혼합가스를 이용한 RIE 표면 texturing 공정을 수행하였다. 현재 다결정 실리콘 태양전지는 다양한 방향의 grain을 가지기 때문에 단결정 실리콘에 적용되는 습식 식각 방식이 다결정 실리콘 표면 texturing에 적절하지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 이방성 식각 특성을 가지는 다양한 texturing 방법이 시도되고 있다. 대표적으로 기계적인 방식의 V-grooving, 레이저 grooving, 플라즈마 건식식각을 이용한 texturing 및 산 용액을 이용한 texturing 등의 연구가 보고되고 있다. 그 중에서 플라즈마 건식식각 방식의 하나인 RIE를 이용한 표면 texturing 공정이 간단한 공정과 산업계 응용의 용이성 때문에 활발히 연구되어 왔다. 특히 Sandia group과 일본 Kyocera사의 연구 결과에서는 그 가능성을 입증하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공정의 단순화와 안전한 공정을 위해서 SF6/O2 혼합 가스를 이용하여 마스크 패턴 공정없이 RIE texturing 공정을 수행하였으며, RIE-textured 다결정 실리콘에 대해서 태양전지를 제작하여 표면 texturing이 광전변환효율에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 그 결과 SF6/O2 혼합 가스를 이용한 RIE texturing은 다결정 실리콘 표면에 주로 needle 구조를 형성하는 것을 확인하였다. 각 texturing 조건별 반사율의 차이는 needle 구조의 조밀도와 관련되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 동일 공정 parameter 상에서 식각 시간 1, 2, 3, 4, 5분 기준 시간에 따른 표면 구조 분석 결과 seed 가 형성되고 그에 따라서 needle 형태로 식각되는 과정을 관찰하였다. 반사율은 분당 약 4%씩 낮아져 5분 식각 후 14.45% 까지 낮아졌으며, 표면 구조에서 폭은 약 30 nm로 모두 일정하며, 길이가 약 20, 30, 50, 80, 100 nm으로 증가되었다. 이 결과로 보아 seed로부터 needle 구조가 심화되어가는 것을 알 수 있었다. 시간에 따른 RIE texturing 후 제작된 태양전지는 효율이 1분 식각 기준 15.92%에서 약 0.35% 씩 낮아져 5분 식각 후 14.4%로 낮아졌다. Voc 는 texturing 시간에 관계없이 일정하며 Isc가 점점 감소되는 것으로 확인되었다. EQE 결과도 이와 동일하게 RIE texturing 시간이 길어질수록 전체 파장 범위에서 일정하게 낮아지는 것이 관찰되었다. Electroluminescence(EL) 이미지 결과 texturing 시간이 길어진 태양전지일수록 점점 어두운 이미지가 나타나 5분 식각의 경우 가장 어두운 결과를 나타내었다. 이런 결과는 한 가지 이유보다는 복합적인 문제로 예상되는데 궁극적으로는 RIE 공정 후 표면에 쌓인 charged particle들이 trap 준위를 형성하여 효율 및 공정상에 영향을 미친 것으로 보이며, 특히 잔류 O기가 불균일한 산화막을 형성하는 것으로 예상된다. 또한 EL 분석 결과를 볼 때 RIE texturing 공정이 길어질수록 불안정한 pn-junction을 형성하는 것을 확인하였으며, emitter 층 형성 후 PSG (phosphorous silica glass) 공정에서 needle의 상부 구조가 무너지면서 면저항이 증가된 결과로 분석된다. PSG 제거 후 측정된 면저항의 경우 3분 texturing 샘플부터 면저항이 약 4${\Omega}/sq$ 정도 증가됨을 확인하였다.

PURPOSES : This research investigates traffic noise characteristics as change the transverse rumble strips shape from rectangular to cylinder at toll plaza of highway. METHODS : The traffic noise was investigated at two different places at toll plaza of highway. One is modified grooving, another is employed cylinder shape of TRS instead of rectangular shape of TRS. A measurement of traffic noise was conducted at same location and time period. The traffic volume information was gotten from office of highway office and vehicle speed was measured by speed measuring device. The traffic noise measurement was conducted from 13:00 to 23:00 and by pass-by method. Also, the traffic noise was measured behind noise barrier. Various distance from noise barrier(7.5m, 30m, 50m) and different heights(1.2m, 3m, and 5m) were parameter for measurement of traffic noise in this study. RESULTS : The class 1 vehicle was contributed from traffic volume which was increased 1,500. However, the distribution of traffic speed didn't change compare to previous investigated period. From this study, It was found that the external traffic noise was changed as function of geometric shape of TRS. The external noise from modified grooving was less than 1.2dB(A) of the current TRS. A difference of traffic noise was 20dB(A) before and after barrier. It came from a noise barrier effect as reduction of traffic noise. According to investigate a traffic noise distribution near barrier, there is similar noise characteristic as function of height at 7.5m distance from noise barrier. Also, There is no different traffic noise between 30m and 50m from source of the noise of sound barrier. CONCLUSIONS : Based on this traffic noise investigation result, there is a clear characteristic difference as changed TRS shape. The traffic noise was reduced by changed TRS shape. Specially, traffic noise was decreased although the traffic volume was increase for same investigation time and period. It is implied that cylinder type of TRS significantly reduces the traffic noise. The specification of various TRS will be studied in the future.

This paper presents bisymmetric dual iron core lineal motor stage for heavy-duty high precision applications such as large area micro-grooving machines or high precision roll die machines. In this stage, two iron core linear motors are installed in laterally symmetric way to cancel out the attractive forces. Main focus was given to analyzing the effect of cogging force and moment for two different layouts, which are symmetric and half-pitch shifted ones. Experimental results showed that the symmetric layout is more adequate for high precision applications because of its clear moment cancellation effect. It was also verified that the effect of the residual cogging moment can be suppressed further by increasing the bearing stiffness. One problem of the symmetric layout is added cogging force which hinders smooth motion, but its effect was relatively small compared with that of moment cancellation.

Acceleration in integration density and speed performance of ULSI circuits require miniaturization of CMOS and interconnections as well as higher current density capabilities for transistors. A leading candidate to substitute Al-alloy is Cu, which has lower resistivity and higher melting point. So we can expect much higher electromigration resistance. In this paper, we are going to explain the major features of EM for MOCVD Cu according to variant conditions. We compared the life time and activation energy of MOCVD Cu with those of I-beam Cu and AA in the same conditions. The electromigration experiments were performed with Cu/Al/TiN multilayer. Experimental results shows that the deposition rate and electromigration characteristics of Cu thin film were improved by the Al interlayer.

Recently, UV pulse laser is widely used in micro machining of the research, development and industry field of IT, NT and BT products because the laser short wavelength provides not only micro drilling, micro cutting and micro grooving which has a very fine line width, but also high absorption coefficient which allows a lot of type of materials to be machined more easily. To analyze the dynamic deformation during a very short processing time, which is nearly about several tens nanoseconds, the commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code, LS-DYNA 3D, was employed for the computitional simulation of the UV laser micro machining behavior for thin copper material in this paper. A finite element model considering high strain rate effect is especially suggested to investigate the micro phenomena which are only dominated by mechanically pressure impact in disregard of thermally heat transfer. From these computational results, some of dynamic deformation behaviors such as dent deformation shapes, strains and stresses distributions were observed and compared with previous experimental works. These will help us to understand micro interaction between UV laser beam and material.
