신경질환의 진단에 있어서 근육군에서의 세동전위나 양성예각파와 같은 탈신경전위를 관찰함으로써 신경의 이상유무와 손상부위를 예측할수 있는데 이는 임상의의 주관적인 경험에만 의존하여 구별되고 있으며 검사과정 중 정상인에게서도 나타날 수 있는 종판전위가 탈신경전위로 오인되어 진단에 혼선을초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 탈신경전위와 종판전위를 정량적으로 구별할 수 있는 알고리듬을 수립하는데 필요한 매개변수들을 추출함으로써 신경손상의 진단과 병변의 국소화에 정확성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 여러 종류의 신경손상을 보이는 10명의 환자들에 대한 근전도 검사를 실시하여 탈신경전위인 양성예각파나 세동전위, 그리고 종판전위를 검출하였다. 이들 신호로부터 지속시간, 면적, 기울기, 첨두시간 진폭, 양첨두지 진폭, 음첨두치 진폭 및 첨두치 비율 그리고 상(phase)의 여덟가지 매개변수를 구하고 각 파형에서의 값들을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 두 종류의 탈신경전위와 종판전위의 구분에 공통적으로 좋은 결과를 제공하는 매개변수는 기울기, 첨두치간 진폭, 양첨두치 진폭 그리고 첨두치간의 비율로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 구해진 매개변수들의 특성은 근전도 분석의 자동화를 위한 알고리듬의 수립에 응용되어질 수 있을 것이며 보다 정량화된 근전도 분석을 통해 진단의 정확성을 향상시켜 줄 것이다.

총체사료용으로 이용되고 있는 맥종들의 출수 후 수확시기 및 식물체 부위별 사료가치 변화를 분석하여 각 맥종의 최적 이용시기를 결정함으로써 효율적인 조사료 이용에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻고자 수행한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조단백질 함량은 전 맥종에서 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 식물체 전체 조단백질의 함량이 낮았다. 식물체 부위 별로는 출수 후 40일 수확을 제외하고는 잎의 단백질 비율이 가장 높으며, 줄기 부분은 어느 시기에서나 10% 미만으로 다른 부위에 비해 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 2. 출수 후 일수가 경과함에 따라 전반적으로 ADF함량이 낮아졌고 부위별로는 줄기의 ADF함량이 다른 부위보다 높고 잎의 ADF함량은 줄기와 이삭의 중간 정도의 비율을 나타냈다. 줄기의 건물중 비율이 높아지면 전체 ADF함량 비율이 직선적으로 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 3. 호밀을 제외한 전 맥종에서 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 NDF함량은 낮아졌는데 호밀은 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 줄기 건물중의 비율이 높아 전체 NDF함량이 높아졌다. 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 줄기와 잎의 NDF함량 변화는 크게 변화가 없는 반면 이삭의 NDF함량은 출수 후 일수가 경과함에 따라 낮게 나타났다. 4. 호밀을 제외하고는 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 RFV가 높아지며, 부위별로는 이삭의 RFV가 가장 높았고 줄기가 가장 낮았다. 식물체 전체 RFV 변이는 출수 후 이삭의 등숙이 진행되면서 잎과 줄기의 낮은 RFV를 보상함에 따라 전체적으로 출수 후 일수가 경과하면서 RFV가 높아지는 것으로 생각된다.

Rye is cultivated on about 30,000ha domestically for forage and green-manure production in Korea. 'Daegokgreen' has been developed as a good quality rye cultivar for forage and green-manure, which was doubled-chromosome by colchicine treatment of diploid rye cultivar 'Gogu' in 2010. By the colchicine treatment with 0.05% for 12 hours at $2^{nd}$ leaf stage of 'Gogu', 31 tetraploid plants were obtained and they produced 2,470 seeds with 135 spikes. There was 4.4 in the number of spikes per plant, 18.3 in grain number per spike, and 37.6 g in the1,000-grain weight. The heading date of 'Daegokgreen' was April 11, which was two days later on average compared with 'Gogu'. The biomass (fresh weight) of 'Daegokgreen' was 3,701kg, which was similar to 'Gogu'. The average crude protein content of 'Daegokgreen' was 8.9%, which was 1.0% point higher than 'Gogu'. 'Daegokgreen' was found to be strong resistant to winter-kill and can be adapted to before maize cultivation.

Objective : The aim of this study was to devise an objective clustering method for magnetoencephalography (MEG) interictal spike sources, and to identify the prognostic value of the new clustering method in adult epilepsy patients with cortical dysplasia (CD). Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 25 adult patients with histologically proven CD, who underwent MEG examination and surgical resection for intractable epilepsy. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 3.1 years. A hierarchical clustering method was adopted for MEG interictal spike source clustering. Clustered sources were then tested for their prognostic value toward surgical outcome. Results : Postoperative seizure outcome was Engel class I in 6 (24%), class II in 3 (12%), class III in 12 (48%), and class IV in 4 (16%) patients. With respect to MEG spike clustering, 12 of 25 (48%) patients showed 1 cluster, 2 (8%) showed 2 or more clusters within the same lobe, 10 (40%) showed 2 or more clusters in a different lobe, and 1 (4%) patient had only scattered spikes with no clustering. Patients who showed focal clustering achieved better surgical outcome than distributed cases (p=0.017). Conclusion : This is the first study that introduces an objective method to classify the distribution of MEG interictal spike sources. By using a hierarchical clustering method, we found that the presence of focal clustered spikes predicts a better postoperative outcome in epilepsy patients with CD.

When recording single-unit responses from neural systems, a common problem is the accurate detection of spikes (action potentials) in the presence of competing unwanted (noise) signals. While some sources of noise can be readily dealt with through filtering or 'template subtraction' techniques, other sources present a more difficult problem. In particular, noise components introduced by power supplies, which contain harmonics of the power-line frequency, can be particularly troublesome in that they can mimic the shape of the desired spikes. Thus, standard 'template subtraction' techniques or notch-filtering approaches are not appropriate. In this study, we propose the use of a novel template-subtraction scheme that involves estimating the power-line noise waveform and using cross-correlation techniques to subtract them from the recordings. This technique requires two key steps: (1) cross-correlation analysis of each recorded waveform extracts a robust representation of the power-line noise waveform and (2) a second level of cross-correlation to successfully subtract that representation from each recorded waveform. This paper describes this algorithm and provides examples of its implementation using actual recorded waveforms that are contaminated with these noise signals. An improvement (reduction) in the noise level is reported, as are suggestions for future implementation of this strategy.

In this paper, we study a signal processing method which extracts each MUAP(motor unit action potential) from EMG(Electromyogram) interference pattern or clinical diagnostic purposes. First of all, differential digital filtering is selected or eliminating the spike components of the MUAP's from the background noise. And, the algorithm identifies the spikes over the certanin threshold by template matching in frequency domain. After missing or false firing actor is cut off at the IPI(inter pulse interval) histogram, we averages the MUAP waveforms from the raw signal using the identified spikes as triggers, and Finally, measures their amplitudes, durations, and numbers of phases. Specially, We introduce algorithm performed by template matching in the frequency domain. A typical 3-s signal recorded from the biceps brachii muscle using a conventional needle electrode during a isometric contraction is used. Finally, the method decomposed five simultaneous active MUAP's from original EMG signal.

Fusarium graminearum Schwabe causes Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating disease that leads to extensive yield and quality loss of wheat and other cereal crops. Twelve isolates of F. graminearum were collected from naturally infected spikes of wheat from Assiut Egypt. These isolates were compared using SRAP. The results indicated distinct genetic groups exist within F. graminearum, and demonstrated that these groups have different biological properties, especially with respect to their pathogenicity on wheat. There were biologically significant differences between the groups; with group (B) isolates being more aggressive towards wheat than groups (A) and (C). Furthermore, Trichoderma harzianum (Rifai) and Bacillus subtilis (Ehrenberg) which isolated from wheat kernels were screened for antagonistic activity against F. graminearum. They significantly reduced the growth of F. graminearum colonies in culture. In order to gain insight into biological control effect in situ, highly antagonistic isolates of T. harzianum and B. subtilis were selected, based on their in vitro effectiveness, for greenhouse test. It was revealed that T. harzianum and B. subtilis significantly reduced FHB severity. The obtained results indicated that T. harzianum and B. subtilis are very effective biocontrol agents that offer potential benefit in FHB and should be harnessed for further biocontrol applications. The accurate analysis of genetic variation and studies of population structures have significant implications for understanding the genetic traits and disease control programs in wheat. This is the first known report of the distribution and genetic variation of F. graminearum on wheat spikes in Assiut Egypt.

Comparative study has been performed to investigate the behavior of dredged fills on rigid (Model 1) and flexible (Model 2) containers. The study was focused on the sedimentation of soil fills and the development of total stresses. Model 1 is made of an acrylic cylinder and Model two is a scale-size geotextile tube. Results indicate that for rigid containers, significant decrease of the sediment height is apparent during the dewatering process. On the other hand, because the geotextile is permeable, the water is gradually dissipated during the filling process on flexible containers. Hence, significant loss in the tube height is not apparent during the duration of the test. Pressure spikes are apparent on rigid containers during the filling process which can be attributed to the confining effect due to hydrostatic pressure. For the flexible containers, the pressure readings gradually increases with time during the filling process and normalize at the end on the filling stage. No pressure spikes were apparent due to the gradual dissipation of pore water pressure.

The versatile practical use of electron beam welding which is very high energy density is still in early stage, but in the special welding field, the welding process is used in manufactured goods. The investigation for electron beam welding up to the present was almost achieved not for the mechanical properties of welded joint but for the process itself. On this investigation, the fatigue strength, crack propergation phenomena and hardness of weld metal and heat affected zone of partially penetrated welded joint of HT80 steel by electron beam welding was accomplished. The tensile fatigue strength in weld line direction of the joint was about $25kg/mm^2$. There still appeared spikes on the tips of penetration, and the crack initiated at the tips of spikes not from the roots. The hardness of the weld metal was higher than it of base metal because of production of martensite by rapid cooling.
