Bax, a mammalian pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family induces cell death when expressed in yeast. To investigate whether Bax expression can induce cell death in plant, we produced transgenic Arabidopsis plants that contained murine Bax cDNA under control of a glucocorticoid-inducible promoter. Transgenic plants treated with dexamethasone, a strong synthetic glucocorticoid, induced Bax accumulation and cell death, suggesting that some elements of cell death mechanism by Bax may be conserved among various organisms. Therefore, we developed novel yeast genetic system, and cloned several Plant Bax Inhibitors (PBIs). Here, we report the function of two PBIs in detail. PBI1 is ascorbate peroxidase (sAPX). Fluorescence method of dihydrorhodamine123 oxidation revealed that expression of Bax in yeast cells generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), and which was greatly reduced by co-expression with sAPX. These results suggest that sAPX inhibits the generation of ROS by Bax, which in turn suppresses Baxinduced cell death in yeast. PBI2 encodes nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK). ROS stress strongly induces the expression of the NDPK2 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtNDPK2). Transgenic plants overexpressing AtNDPK2 have lower levels of ROS than wildtype plants. Mutants lacking AtNDPK2 had higher levels of ROS than wildtype. $H_2O_2$ treatment induced the phosphorylation of two endogenous proteins whose molecular weights suggested they are AtMPK3 and AtMPK6. In the absence of $H_2O_2$ treatment, phosphorylation of these proteins was slightly elevated in plants overexpressing AtNDPK2 but markedly decreased in the AtNDPK2 deletion mutant. Yeast two-hybrid and in vitro protein pull-down assays revealed that AtNDPK2 specifically interacts with AtMPK3 and AtMPK6. Furthermore, AtNDPK2 also enhances the MSP phosphorylation activity of AtMPK3 in vitro. Finally, constitutive overexpression of AtNDPK2 in Arabidopsis plants conferred an enhanced tolerance to multiple environmental stresses that elicit ROS accumulation in situ. Thus, AtNDPK2 appears to playa novel regulatory role in $H_2O_2$-mediated MAPK signaling in plants.

Recently, InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well grown on GaN pyramid structures have attracted much attention due to their hybrid characteristics of quantum well, quantum wire, and quantum dot. This gives us broad band emission which will be useful for phosphor-free white light emitting diode. On the other hand, by using quantum dot emission on top of the pyramid, site selective single photon source could be realized. However, these structures still have several limitations for the single photon source. For instance, the quantum efficiency of quantum dot emission should be improved further. As detection systems have limited numerical aperture, collection efficiency is also important issue. It has been known that micro-cavities can be utilized to modify the radiative decay rate and to control the radiation pattern of quantum dot. Researchers have also been interested in nano-cavities using localized surface plasmon. Although the plasmonic cavities have small quality factor due to high loss of metal, it could have small mode volume because plasmonic wavelength is much smaller than the wavelength in the dielectric cavities. In this work, we used localized surface plasmon to improve efficiency of InGaN qunatum dot as a single photon emitter. We could easily get the localized surface plasmon mode after deposit the metal thin film because lnGaN/GaN multi quantum well has the pyramidal geometry. With numerical simulation (i.e., Finite Difference Time Domain method), we observed highly enhanced decay rate and modified radiation pattern. To confirm these localized surface plasmon effect experimentally, we deposited metal thin films on InGaN/GaN pyramid structures using e-beam deposition. Then, photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence were carried out to measure the improvement of radiative decay rate (Purcell factor). By carrying out cathodoluminescence (CL) experiments, spatial-resolved CL images could also be obtained. As we mentioned before, collection efficiency is also important issue to make an efficient single photon emitter. To confirm the radiation pattern of quantum dot, Fourier optics system was used to capture the angular property of emission. We believe that highly focused localized surface plasmon around site-selective InGaN quantum dot could be a feasible single photon emitter.

복합 후처리장치의 최적 모델 개발을 위해 반응기 내부 유동 특성 및 유량 분배 수준 등과 관련지어 3차원 전산유체역학(CFD)을 수행하였다. 백필터의 각 격실별로 유량 분배가 크게 차이가 발생해 반건식 반응기(SDR)에 편류현상이 발생할 것으로 예측되어 백필터에 균등한 유량 분배를 위한 구조 개선이 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 위해, 장치에 3가지 수정.보완(플래넘 구조 개선, 풍도 오리피스 설치, 복수의 흡인 덕트 설치)이 이루어졌다. 이 중에서 플래넘 구조 개선, 풍도 오리피스 설치가 가장 합리적일 것으로 판단된다. 본 해석을 이용하여 수정 보완한 배가스복합 후처리장치는, 반건식 반응기와 백필터 처리부가 일체화되어 있어 장치가 콤팩트하고 설치면적이 적으며 운영 및 관리가 매우 편리할 것으로 판단된다.

제조업에 있어서 판매 후 서비스 건수와 내용 등은 향후 서비스 제공을 위한 자원배분의 효율성 증진과 서비스 품질 향상을 위해서도 매우 중요한 정보이다. 따라서 기업들은 향후 발생하는 판매 후 서비스에 대해 정확히 예측하고 그에 따라 적절히 대처하는 능력을 확보할 필요성이 제조업을 중심으로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 실제로 이들 기업들이 활용하고 있는 서비스 수요예측 방법들은 전통적인 통계적인 예측기법이거나, 시뮬레이션을 기반한 기법들이다. 예를 들면, 전통적인 통계적인 예측기법으로는 회귀분석(regression analysis)의 경우, 다양한 제품모델에 대한 판매 후 서비스 발생 패턴이 선형적인 관계가 매우 적음에도 불구하고 선형으로 가정하여 추정한다는 점과 적정한 회귀식을 가정하여야 되며, 이러한 가정이 실제 경영환경에서는 매우 어렵다는 점 등이 기존의 예측기법들의 한계점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 TV 모델을 생산 판매 하는 A사의 사례연구를 통하여 최근 인공지능연구에서 각광을 받고 있는 사례기반추론(case-based reasoning; CBR) 기법을 활용한 서비스 수요예측 프레임워크를 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 사례기반추론에서 핵심적인 역할 중 하나인 유사 사례추출 방법에 있어서 가장 일반적인 nearest-neighbor 방법 이외의 유사 사례추출 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 특히, 본 연구에서 제안하는 유사 사례추출 방법은 인공신경망(artificial neural network)을 활용한 자기조직화지도(Self-Organizing Maps : SOM) 군집화 기법을 활용한 유사 사례추출 방식으로 이를 활용한 서비스 수요예측 프레임워크에 구현하고, 실제 기업의 판매 후 서비스 데이터를 활용하여 본 연구에서 제안하는 서비스 수요 예측 프레임워크의 유효성을 실증적으로 검증하고자 한다.

심미성 복합레진은 자연 치질을 보존시키며 나아가 잔존 치질의 강도를 강화시켜 준다. 복합레진 수복시 더 많은 치질을 남기기 위해 첨와 (undercut) 형태의 교합면 치질을 남긴 채 복합레진으로 수복하는 경우가 많으나, 어느 정도 강도가 복원되는지에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 첨와 형태의 와동을 잔존치질의 두께 (법랑질 /법랑질과 상아질)에 따라 형성하고 복합레진으로 충전한 경우, 수복된 치아의 파절 저항성을 손상이 없는 자연치와 비교 평가하였다. 상악 대구치 40개의 교합면을 편평하게 삭제한 후 방사선 사진에서 치수각의 위치를 확인하였다. 대상 치아를 각 10개씩 4개군으로 분류하였으며, $1{\sim}3$군은 실험군으로 모두 협측에 깊이 7 mm, 근원심 폭경 5 mm의 첨와 형태 와동을 형성하였고, 와동저에서 치수각까지의 거리를 약 0.5 mm로 유지하였으며 교합면쪽의 치질 두께를 달리하였다. 1군은 법랑질과 소량의 상아질로 구성된 치질 두께를 1 mm, 2군은 법랑질과 상아질의 두께를 1.5 mm, 3군은 법랑질과 상아질의 두께를 2 mm가 되도록 하였고, 4군은 건전한 자연치를 와동형성 없이 대조군으로 사용하였다. 두께 측정은 방사선 사진을 스캔한 후 길이 확대 프로그램을 이용하였다. 각 와동을 37% 인산으로 산부식한 다음 단일병 접착제 Single $Bond^{TM}$ (3M/ESPE, USA)를 적용하였고 혼합형 복합레진 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$ (3M/ESPE, USA)을 사용하여 적층 충전하였다. 치아를 실온에서 증류수에 24시간 동안 보관한 다음 Sof-Lex system (3M/ESPE, USA)을 사용하여 연마하였다. 이후 자가중합형 레진에 교합면을 기저부에 평행한 상태로 치근부를 매몰한 다음 Universal testing machine (Zwick Z010, Germany)에서 지름 3 mm의 staineless steel rod를 1 mm/min의 cross-head speed로 하중을 가하여 파절 강도를 측정하였다. 통계 분석은 95% 유의 수준의 One-way ANOVA와 Tukey test를 이용하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 와동 형성 후 복합레진을 수복한 군들은 대조군에 비해 약 75%의 파절 강도를 보였다. 2. 교합면쪽 잔존 치질의 두께에 따른 파절 저항은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p > 0.05). 복합레진을 이용하여 첨와 형태의 와동을 수복한 후 파절 강도를 측정한 결과 건전 치아보다는 강도가 낮았지만, 상부의 잔존 치질이 대부분 법랑질로 이루어진 경우에도 복합 레진으로 수복하면 건전 치아 파절 강도의 75%까지 유지할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.
