  • A case of rapid cycling mania secondary to gamma-knife radiosurgery for the treatment of refractory epilepsy was reported. A 21-year old woman who had a gamma-knife radiosurgical operation for the treatment of refractory seizure two years ago was admitted because of manic episodes. Although seizure was relieved, manic symptoms like decreased need for sleep, elated mood, unprovoked laughing, grandiose delusion and bizarre behaviors were developed 11 months after the operation. These symptoms recurred lour rimes for eight months. There were no past personal and family history of mood disorders. Laboratory examinations including electroencephalogram ana endocrinological study did not show any abnormal findings. The rapid cycling secondary manic was relieved by lithium. She was then discharged after 5 months. Mood change was not significant during follow-up while hypomania emerged by dose reduction. The secondary mania seemed to be caused or triggered by the right temporal lobe damage induced by gamma-knife radiosurgery.

  • The rapid urbanization in developing countries has caused trasportation problems that need to be solved. For that reason, the study evaluates the potential of cycling in the densely populated part of Kathmandu valley. Slopes and existing roads have been applied as the input cost rasters for finding the shortest cost routes between stations. By taking the average cycling velocity, time to travel from station to destination were compared with the average commuting time in the public transportation. The result comes out as similar time with the public transportation. Although the cycling seems potential replacement for public transportation commuters, in fact, there are some setbacks needed to be supported by the government to make it reality in future.

  • This study is intended to develop plant inquiry instruction using Rapid-cycling Brassica rapa (RcBr) whose life cycle is relatively short, and to apply it to the elementary science instruction of the 4th grader and examine their plant concept, science inquiry skills and science-related attitudes. The materials were consisted of laboratory manuals for the students as well as teachers' guide. By observing the life cycle of RcBr, students can experience the conceptual learning of the plant's life cycle. In addition, this study investigated the cause of change in science inquiry skills and science-related attitudes by interviewing 12 students. It has shown that plant inquiry instruction using RcBr has meaningful effects on students' understanding of the plant concept, improving students' science inquiry skills, and changing students' science-related attitudes. Students who showed improvement in science inquiry skills were able to answer questions regarding science knowledge correctly. And students whose science related attitudes were improved had a positive attitude on cultivating RcBr. Students told that RcBr was an interesting and good material to inquire plant. Because of its small size and its relatively short life cycle of RcBR, it should be a desirable plant material for the inquiry instruction which can give rise to useful and meaningful results for the elementary school students.

  • New types of cytoplasmic male sterility in Brassica species would be very useful for the production of F$_1$, hybrid seeds. Leaves and stems of rapid cycling stock of B.juncea (CrGC4-3) containing Anand CMS were used as experimental materials for plant regeneration from protoplast culture. Very high plant regeneration rate (85%) was found in the Kao & Michayluk medium supplemented with 2 mg/L zeatin, 0.5 mg/L BAP, and 1 mg/L NAA when only leaf, not stem, segments were cultured. Protoplasts were isolated from leaves using mixtures of enzymes (1% Cellulycin, 0.5% Macerozyme) in 0.4 M mannitol and 50 mM $CaCl_2$.$2H_2$O. Mcrocalli induced from protoplasts were transferred to the shoot regeneration medium containing 2 mg/L BAP, 2 mg/L zeatin, and 0.5 mg/L NAA. After 60 days of initial protoplast culture, regenerated plantlets were obtained, acclimatized, transplanted into the pots, and grown up to the flowering stage.

  • 이 연구는 인지적 도제 모델의 교수 단계와 교수방법을 적용하여 Rapid-cycling Brassica rapa (RcBr)를 활용한 식물 분자생물학 실험 프로그램을 개발하여 그의 적용 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 예비교사의 분자생물학 실험에 관한 전문성 제고를 위하여 'purple RcBr과 non-purple RcBr 개체의 DFR 유전자 확인'과 'DNA 프로파일링 방법을 이용한 RcBr 개체의 유전적 다형성 부위 확인'의 두 가지 실험 주제를 선정하여 총 8차시로 구성하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 충북 H 대학교 생물교육 전공 2학년 18명을 대상으로 적용하여 분자생물학 지식과 기술 활용에 관한 인지기능과 영역 일반적 메타인지 기능의 향상 효과를 알아보았으며, 개발된 프로그램에서 제공된 수업흐름도 작성 과제의 분석을 통하여 프로그램의 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 개발된 인지적 도제 모델 기반의 RcBr 식물 프로그램은 예비교사의 분자생물학 지식 및 기술 활용에 관한 인지기능 향상에 효과적이었다. 예비교사의 선행 실험 경험에 따라 고차적 인지기능 향상에 차이를 보였는데, 선행 실험 경험이 없는 예비교사의 고차적 인지기능 향상에 특히 효과적이었다. 개발된 프로그램은 또한 영역 일반적 메타인지 기능 중 메타인지적 지식의 과제와 메타인지적 조절의 계획, 점검, 평가 부분의 하위요소에 있어 유의미한 향상 효과를 보여주었다. 이는 프로그램의 차시별 자기평가 활동이 예비교사의 메타인지적 조절 기능 향상에 도움을 주었기 때문으로 생각한다. 이 연구에서 개발된 인지적 도제 모델의 식물 프로그램은 예비교사의 분자생물학 실험에 관련된 핵심역량을 키우는데 이바지한 것으로 나타났으므로 후속 연구에서 이 교수·학습 자료를 재구성하여 과학교사 연수나 고등학생들에게 적용하여도 메타인지 기능의 향상 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Silicon (Si) has attracted considerable attention due to its high theoretical capacity compared to conventional graphite anode materials. However, Si-based anode materials suffer from rapid capacity loss due to mechanical failure caused by large volume change during cycling. To alleviate this phenomenon, crosslinked polymeric binders with strong interactions are highly desirable to ensure the electrode integrity. In this study, thermally crosslinked polyimide binders were used for Si-alloy anodes in Li-ion batteries. The crosslinked polyimide binder was found to have high adhesion strength, resulting in enhanced electrode integrity during cycling. Therefore, the Si-alloy anodes with crosslinked polyimide binder provide enhanced electrochemical performance, such as Coulombic efficiency, capacity retention, and cycle stability.

  • The effects of chemical composition and thermal cycling on the martensitic transformation characteristics in Cu-rich, equiatomic and Zr-rich CuZr binary alloys have been studied by calorimetry. Only martensite could be indentified in equiatomic $Cu_{49.9}Zr_{50.1}$ alloy, while $Cu_{10}Zr_7$ and $CuZr_2$ intermetallic compounds as well as martensite were formed by rapid cooling from the melts in Cu-rich $Cu_{52.2}Zr_{47.5}$ alloy and Zr-rich $Cu_{48.4}Zr_{51.6}$ alloy, respectively. The $M_s$ temperature of $Cu_{49.9}Zr_{50.1}$ was $156^{\circ}C$ but those of $Cu_{52.5}Zr_{47.5}$ and $Cu_{48.4}Zr_{51.6}$ alloys, being $109^{\circ}C$ and $138^{\circ}C$, were lower than that of equiatomic $Cu_{49.9}Zr_{50.1}$ alloy. In all the alloys, the $M_s$ temperature has fallen but the $A_s$ temperature has risen, resulting in widening of the transformation hysteresis with thermal cycling. The anomalous characteristics in the transformation temperature are due to the presence of the intermetallic compounds i.e. $Cu_{10}Zr_7$ and $CuZr_2$ formed by an eutectoid reaction during thermal cycling in the temperature range between $-100^{\circ}C$ < $T_c$ < $400^{\circ}C$.

  • The Li-rich oxides are promising cathode materials due to their high energy density. However, characteristics such as low rate capability, unstable cyclic performance, and rapid capacity fading during cycling prevent their commercialization. These characteristics are mainly attributed to the phase instability of the host structure and undesirable side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface. To suppress the phase transition during cycling and interfacial side reactions with the reactive electrolyte, K (potassium) doping and Nb oxide coating were simultaneously introduced to a Li-rich oxide (Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2). The capacity and rate capability of the Li-rich oxide were significantly enhanced by K doping. Considering the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the interslab thickness of LiO2 increased and cation mixing decreased due to K doping, which facilitated Li migration during cycling and resulted in enhanced capacity and rate capability. The K-doped Li-rich oxide also exhibited considerably improved cyclic performance, probably because the large K+ ions disturb the migration of the transition metals causing the phase transition and act as a pillar stabilizing the host structure during cycling. The Nb oxide coating also considerably enhanced the capacity and rate capability of the samples, indicating that the undesirable interfacial layer formed from the side reaction was a major resistance factor that reduced the capacity of the cathode. This result confirms that the introduction of K doping and Nb oxide coating is an effective approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of Li-rich oxides.
