The purpose of this study was to identify the aesthetic characteristics of modern fashion design use with a particular focus on transparency, and to help create future vision and feature. As part of the methodology for this study, I examined the concept of transparency, its characteristics and how it was expressed through art, architecture and other designs using literature research. Furthermore, I performed justifiable analysis on modern fashion design which used transparency from the 1990s till present. The following concepts were deciphered from information: Firstly, the concept of purity was highlighted. The emphasis here was to enhance the body's natural beauty with simple silhouettes that do not restrict its curves, using light materials such as clear vinyl, semi-clear materials or thin chiffon. Secondly, to express sensuality by exposing the body's curves with tight wrapping using clear materials, or with indirect and symbolic see-through techniques using contrasting clear, semi-clear and opaque materials. Thirdly, to express futurism through cyber and electronic images using high tech or shiny materials such as metal or holograms. Mechanical movements or effects of light are also used. Fourthly, to express playful characteristic by promoting surprises and disharmony that contradict with traditional techniques. This is carried out by intentionally exaggerating certain portions of clothes through disorder elements or confusion, and unsymmetrical shapes which destruct the human body's normal form.

The purpose of this study is to contemplate evening dress in contemporary fashion, thereby to analyze aesthetic characteristics of evening dress. For such purposes, this thesis first provides the historical survey of evening dresses, and to conduct a case study of survey of fashion photographs covering $pr{\hat{e}}t-{\acute{a}}t$-porter design products from 2000 to 2007 presented by Valentine. Based upon the historical survey, there are five representative styles in evening dress. Flapper chic looks could be characterized by frequent usage of sleeveless straight silhouette with long or mini hemlines, expressing sensuality, luxury, and ethnicity. Satin Siren looks were characterized by bias-cut, slim, long silhouette, expressing sensuality and luxury. Feminine Ideal looks were characterized by hourglass silhouette and decolltage with feminine details such as bow, pleats and frills, expressing historicism, luxury and sensuality. Freedom and fantasy looks were characterized by ethnic details or modern silhouette with transparent, printed materials, expressing ethnicity, sensuality, and luxury. Finally, postmodern glamourous looks were characterized by body-conscious silhouette with transparent, shiny, or stretch materials, expressing sensuality, experimentalism and luxury.

For the precision measurement of industrial products, the location of holes inside the products, if they exist, are often selected as feature points. The measurement of hole location would be performed by vision and laser-vision sensor. However, the usage of those sensors is limited in case of big change of light intensity and reflective shiny surface of the products. In order to overcome the difficulties, we have developed a hole displacement measuring device using contact-type displacement sensors (LVDTs). The developed measurement device attached to a robot measures small displacement of a hole by allowing its X-Y movement due to the contact forces between the hole and its own circular cone. The developed device consists of three plates which are connected in series for its own function. The first plate is used for the attachment to an industrial robot with ball-bush joints and springs. The second and third plates allow X-Y direction as LM guides. The bottom of the third plate is designed that various circular cones can be easily attached according to the shape of the hole. The developed system was implemented for its effectiveness that its measurement accuracy is less than 0.05mm.

Semi-dried mulberry fruit can be distributed at room temperature and maintained its chewy texture and shape. It can be used for its own itself or food materials. We develop the honey coating semi-dried mulberry fruit manufacturing method through hot air dryer. After extracting the moisture from the thawing process, honey was coated and dried. Drying time for semidried mulberry fruit was shortened by manufacturing on the day of work without going through aging process. The first the mulberry fruit juice was separated from the frozen mulberry fruit at room temperature of the laboratory or in the dryer of $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$, then the first dried by a hot air drier at $60^{\circ}C$ for 3 to 4 h. Next, it is coated with honey, which is equivalent to 20% weight of the first dried mulberry fruit, and then the second dried at a temperature of $38^{\circ}C$ for 20 ~ 30 h. The honey coating semi-dried mulberry fruit by above method was shiny on the surface and retained its shape. The moisture content was about 15% and it was confirmed that it could be stored at room temperature.

Due to the increasing interest in synonymous codons, several codon bias-related terms were introduced. As one measure of them, the tRNA adaptation index (tAI) was invented about a decade ago. The tAI is a measure of translational efficiency for a gene and is calculated based on the abundance of intracellular tRNA and the binding strength between a codon and a tRNA. The index has been widely used in various fields of molecular evolution, genetics, and pharmacology. Afterwards, an improved version of the index, named specific tRNA adaptation index (stAI), was developed by adapting tRNA copy numbers in species. Although a subsequently developed webserver (stAIcalc) provided tools that calculated stAI values, it was not available to access pre-calculated values. In addition to about 100 species in stAIcalc, we calculated stAI values for whole coding sequences in 148 species. To enable easy access to this index, we constructed a novel web database, named STADIUM (Species-specific tRNA adaptive index compendium). STADIUM provides not only the stAI value of each gene but also statistics based on pathway-based classification. The database is expected to help researchers who have interests in codon optimality and the role of synonymous codons. STADIUM is freely available at http://stadium.pmrc.re.kr.

Temporal bone trauma can cause hearing loss and in case of prolonged conductive hearing loss, traumatic ossicular injury should be considered. Separation of the incudostapedial joint is the most common lesion, and stapediovestibular dislocation is relatively rare but can easily cause perilymphatic fistula. Here, we report a very rare case of external stapediovestibular dislocation after trauma, ending up with successful surgical outcome. A 27-year-old man with non-progressive hearing loss on the right side since childhood visited the clinic. Audiogram showed a conductive hearing loss with air-bone gap of 55 dB on the right side. Temporal bone CT revealed the disruption of ossicular chain. An exploratory tympanotomy identified multiple ossicular disruptions including external stapediovestibular dislocation with shiny fibrous membrane sealing the oval window. Ossicular chain reconstruction was performed using the total ossicular replacement prosthesis of titanium. A postoperative audiogram showed a recovery of air-bone gap less than 10 dB. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of external long-standing stapediovestibular dislocation, with oval window completely sealed with fibrous membrane, ending up with successful hearing recovery by surgery. This case would help dealing with such condition which can be encountered in the clinic.

Selaginella austrotibetica, a new spikemoss species from China, is described. The species is epipetric and was found on a moss-covered rocky cliff by a riverbank. Morphologically, it is unlike any anisosporophyllous species in the genus Selaginella. However, it resembles species of the S. sanguinolenta group, especially similar to S. sajanensis in gross morphology, except for the characters of strobilus. The molecular phylogenetic analysis clearly showed that S. austrotibetica was nested within the anisosporophyllous species clade, forming a sister relationship with the clade of S. vaginata and S. xipholepis, and distinct from the S. sanguinolenta group, including S. sajanensis. Although S. austrotibetica is sister to the clade of S. vaginata and S. xipholepis, the species can be clearly distinguished by its sparse leaves on branches, dorsal leaves that are broad-ovate, base obtuse to rounded, margin denticulate or very shortly sparsely ciliolate, and leaves that are slightly thick and shiny. Therefore, we described Selaginella austrotibetica as a new species and discuss its phylogenetic relationships within the genus Selaginella.

In this paper, we propose a reconstruction technique of the lost hair region for 3D human actor modeling. An active depth sensor system can simultaneously capture both color and geometry information of any objects in real-time. However, it cannot acquire some regions whose surfaces are shiny and dark. Therefore, to get a natural 3D human model, the lost region in depth image should be recovered, especially human hair region. The recovery is performed using both color and depth images. We find out the hair region using color image first. After the boundary of hair region is estimated, the inside of hair region is estimated using an interpolation technique and closing operation. A 3D mesh model is generated after performing a series of operations including adaptive sampling, triangulation, mesh smoothing, and texture mapping. The proposed method can generate recovered 3D mesh stream automatically. The final 3D human model allows the user view interaction or haptic interaction in realistic broadcasting system.

This research was aimed to manufacture the cholesterol free Mozzarella cheese with corn oil that contains high unsaturated fatty acid helping the reduction of serum cholesterol. Cheese stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$ was evaluated with general analysis, volatile free fatty acid, cholesterol, meltability, stretchability, color, rheological properties, and sensory evaluation. Moisture contents decreased during cheese storage period, whereas protein contents and pH value increased significantly (P < 0.05), but fat contents did not show any significant change. Linoleic acid was tile main volatile free fatty acid in a fat of cheese, and cholesterol contents were measured 4.34$\pm$ 0.04 mg/100 g in cheese. The meltability of cheese gradually increased during ripening, while the stretchability decreased. The color of cheese showed translucent yellow. Hardness, springiness, and cohesiveness increased significantly up to 21 days of storage. Compared to control cheese made by conventional way, QDA scores of shiny, oiling off, and melting of cholesterol free cheese were significantly different. These results suggested that health-oriented cholesterol free Mozzarella cheese would be made by addition of the corn oil.
