전라북도 고창군 상하면의 가막도에 대한 지형 조사의 일환으로 암석 반발 강도 조사와 각 부분의 화학적 조성을 분석하였다. 가막도의 암체 최상부는 지중 풍화 기원인 핵석이 일부 나타나고 있으며, 그보다 고도가 낮은 부분엔 지중에서 풍화 전선을 형성하던 기반암이 노출되어 있다. 가막도 암체의 반발 강도는 암체의 정상부에서 해안 대지 쪽으로 가면서 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 정상부가 침식에 대한 저항 정도가 약한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 한편 암체 각 부분의 화학적 풍화 지수, 풍화각 조성 물질의 변화 등으로 볼 때 암체의 하부가 정상부에 비하여 화학적 풍화가 덜 진행된 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 이는 암체 상부의 표면부에서 나타나는 현상으로 풍화층이 제거될 경우 생경한 암석의 풍화대가 나타날 것으로 보인다. 풍화각에 발달한 다각형 균열의 경우 전반적으로 화학적 조성과 화학적 풍화 정도에서 정상부와 하부의 중간 정도의 수준이었다. 풍화각의 특성을 파악하기 위한 분석 결과 풍화각의 표면에 다각형 균열이 형성되는 경우, 표면 부분에 비하여 기저 부분이 화학적 풍화 지수가 높은 경향성이 나타났다. 이는 이전의 연구와 일치하나, SiO2의 함량 등은 이전의 연구와 일치하지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 풍화 환경과 기반암 조성의 차이에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 이들을 종합할 때 가막도는 풍화 산물이 제거된 풍화 전선의 잔류물로 하부의 풍화 산물제거가 상부보다 활발히 진행된 것으로 보인다.

Exploration of asteroids' internal structure is essential for understanding their evolutional history. It also provides a fundamental information about the history of coalescence and collision of the solar system. Among several models of the internal structures, the rubble-pile model, confirmed by the near-Earth asteroid (25143) Itokawa by Hayabusa mission [1], is now widely regarded as the most common to asteroids with size ranging from 200 m to 10 km [2]. On the contrary, monolithic and core-mantle structures are also possible for small asteroids [3]. It is, however, still challenging to look through the interior of a target object using remote-sensing devices. In this presentation, we introduce our ongoing research conducted at Seoul National and propose an idea to infer the internal structure of Apophis using available instruments. Itokawa's research provides an important benchmark for Apophis exploration because both asteroids have similar size and composition [4][5]. We have conducted research on Itokawa's evolution in terms of collision and space weathering. Space weathering is the surface alteration process caused by solar wind implantation and micrometeorite bombardment [6]. Meanwhile, resurfacing via a collision acts as a counter-process of space weathering by exposing fresh materials under the matured layer and lower the overall degree of space weathering. Therefore, the balance of these two processes determine the space weathering degrees of the asteroid. We focus on the impact evidence on the boulder surface and found that space weathering progresses in only 100-10,000 years and modifies the surface optical properties (Jin & Ishiguro, KAS 2020 Fall Meeting). It is important to note that the timescale is significantly shorter than the Itokawa's age, suggesting that the asteroid can be totally processed by space weathering. Accordingly, our result triggers a further discussion about why Itokawa indicates a moderately fresh spectrum (Sq-type denotes less matured than S-type). For example, Itokawa's smooth terrains show a weaker degree of space weathering than other S-type asteroids [7]. We conjecture that the global seismic shaking caused by collisions with >1 mm-sized interplanetary dust particles induces granular convection, which hinders the progression of space weathering [8]. Note that the efficiency of seismic wave propagation is strongly dependent on the internal structure of the asteroid. Finally, we consider possible approaches to investigate Apophis's internal structure. The first idea is studying the space weathering age, as conducted for Itokawa. If Apophis indicates a younger age, the internal structure would have more voids [9]. In addition, the 2029 close encounter with Earth provides a rare natural opportunity to witness the contrast between before and after the event. If the asteroid exhibits a slight change in shape and space weathering degree, one can determine the physical structure of the internal materials (e.g., rubble-pile monolithic, thick or thin regolith layer, the cohesion of the materials). We will also consider a possible science using a seismometer.

천전리 각석은 중생대 백악기 경상누층군의 대구층에 속하는 셰일층준에 새겨져 있다. 이 암석은 열변질 작용을 받아 혼펠스화 되어 경도가 높고 치밀한 조직을 보이며, 조암광물은 석영, 정장석, 사장석, 방해석, 운모, 녹니석 및 불투명 광물들로 동일한 조성을 가지나 풍화대에서는 방해석이 거의 검출되지 않는다. 각석은 일정한 깊이의 풍화대를 형성하고 있으며 풍화대와 비풍화대는 광물조성 및 화학조성의 차이가 있다. 풍화대의 CaO 함량은 비풍화대에 비해 90% 이상 감소하였으며, 이는 방해석이 물과 반응하여 용탈되었기 때문이다. X-선의 투과특성으로 각석 표면의 풍화심도를 산출한 결과, 탈락 및 박리 영역에서는 0.5~1.0mm 정도의 깊이를 보였지만 대부분 영역의 풍화깊이는 3~4mm 정도로 산출되었다. 이는 Ca과 Sr의 함량과 변화로도 입증할 수 있다. 각석의 표면변색은 색의 농도를 달리하며 분포하고, 황갈색 변색은 얇은 생물 피막층과 함께 교호하며 79.6%의 피도를 보인다. 따라서 천전리 각석의 물리화학적 및 생물학적 손상을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 주기적인 보존관리와 예방보존 차원의 정밀모니터링이 필요할 것이다.

구강내 매식된 임프란트가 과도한 교합력이나 염증등의 이유로 구강내로 노출되었을 때 세균독소에 이완된 면을 제거하고 평활한 면을 형성하여 주위의 연조직, 경조직에 적합한 상태로 만들어 건강한 상태로 구강내에 유지하기 위해서 임프란트 매식체 표면을 기계적인 표면처리방법으로 처치하여 이러한 방법이 임프란트 표면성분, 치은섬유아세포의 전개양상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 실험을 실행하였다. IMZ사에서 제작한 직경 10mm, 높이 2mm의 원판 타이타늄을 이용하여 피막되지 않은 타이타늄면과 TPS면을 대조군으로 하고 기계적인 표면처리방법인 low speed stone bur처치면을 실험군으로 설정한 후 EDX로 타이타늄 표면성분을 분석하였고 주사전자현미경으로 치은섬유아세포의 전개양상을 관찰하였다. EDX에 의한 타이타늄 표면성분분석 결과 모든 실험군에서 titanium peak, 소량의 aluminum이 나타났으며 그외의 성분은 나타나지 않았다. 치은섬유아세포의 전개양상에 대한 주사전자현미경 관찰결과 평활한 타이타늄면에서 접종 30분 후 세사상돌기와 박판엽상으로 확장된 세포가 많이 관찰되며 6시간 후 신장된 치은섬유아세포가 시편에 밀착된 양상을 보였고 24시간 후 치은섬유아세포는 시편의 모든 면을 피개하며 가공시의 평행한 선을 따라 방향성을 띄었다. TPS가 잔존한 stone처치군에서 세포 접종 30분 후 세사상돌기가 적게 관찰되어 평활한 타이타늄면에 비해 초기부착이 늦은 것을 알 수 있었고 6, 24시간후 치은섬유아세포는 거친면으로 인해 시편에 밀착되지 못한 양상을 보였으나 평활한 타이타늄면과 연결되며 시편의 모든면을 피개하였다. TPS군에서 치은섬유아세포는 세포 접종 30분후 세사상돌기를 거의 찾아 볼 수 없어 초기부착이 다른군에 비해 늦으며 세포배양 6, 24시간후에도 시편에 밀착되지 못하고 박판상돌기가 가늘고 길게 돌출되어 여러면에 부착된 양상을 보였으며 세포가 부착되지 않은 TPS면이 관찰되었다.

The purpose of this study was to explore effects of pattern alteration using a virtual clothing simulation approach in combination with 3D analysis software. Three raglan sleeves of different patterns were worn by an avatar using virtual clothing simulation with silk and cotton as the test fabrics. It was observed that the silhouette and hemline shape were affected differently based on raglan sleeve pattern and fabric type. By examining clothing pressure distribution, the cotton fabric designs and pattern shapes provided for a variety of influences on armhole and bust regions as well as the back sleeve area. For representative locations, cross section circumstance, cross section area, and volume were measured by using 3D analysis and the resulting correlation between the 2D and 3D data were investigated. Among different fabrics, there was little difference between the 2D and 3D clothing surface area. However, when using 3D analysis, clothing volume was significantly affected by different fabrics and pattern types. By simultaneously adopting the virtual simulator and 3D analysis, quantitative assessment of virtual clothing simulation was successfully conducted. In light of the results of this study, the resulting methodology is expected to be used as a comprehensive evaluation tool for virtual clothing simulation wear testing.

Silver nanoparticles(AgNPs) were attached to wool fibers using glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride(GTAC), which is a type of quaternary ammonium salt. GTAC, which contains an epoxy functional group that, under high temperatures, generates a ring-opening reaction with wool fibers, which contain the amine group. Then, the AgNPs are attached to the surface of the GTAC-treated wool fibers by treatment with a silver colloidal solution. The process involves the following procedures: (1) The wool fibers are immersed in the GTAC solution, followed by pre-drying at $80^{\circ}C$ and curing at $180^{\circ}C$ to induce an alteration in the chemical structure; and (2) The wool fibers treated with GTAC are immersed in the silver colloid at $40^{\circ}C$ for 120 min to chemically induce a strong attachment of the AgNPs to the wool fibers. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the influence of the concentrations of GTAC and the silver colloid, as well as the influence of the applied temperature of the silver colloid on the wool fibers, and the influence of the morphological changes in the wool fiber surfaces. As a result, the enhanced concentrations of GTAC and the silver colloid together with an elevated applied temperature of silver colloid have a tendency to increase in Ag atomic%.

The purpose of this study was to describe the alteration of stretch reflex and electrical activity of lower leg muscle in cerebral palsy by the water temperature. We used ten cerebral palsy. Participants classified according to each group in $29^{\circ}C$, $32^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$ by the water temperature. All subjects participated 3 session, which at least 1 week between session. The test was measured continuously pre test, post-test by thermometer and surface electromyography(sEMG). The following results were obtained; 1. Superficial temperature were significantly decreased in $29^{\circ}C$(p<0.001) group but were significantly increased $32^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$ group(p<0.001). 2. Muscle stretch reflex were significantly decreased in $32^{\circ}C$(p<0.05) and $35^{\circ}C$(p<0.001) group. 3. Stretch-evoked EMG were significantly increased in $29^{\circ}C$ group(p<0.01). These results lead us to the conclusion that changes of stretch reflex and electrical activity of lower leg muscle in cerebral palsy were influenced by the water temperature. Therefore, a further direction of this study will be to provide more evidence that a moderate water temperature have an effect on muscle tonus in a patient with cerebral palsy.

In this study, the influence of a change in land use on the local weather fields is investigated around the Lake Shihwa area using synthetic land cover data and a high-resolution mesoscale model - the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF). The default land cover data generally used in the WRF is based on the land use category of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which erroneously presents most land areas of the Korean Peninsula as savannas. To revise such a fault, a multi-temporal land cover data, provided by the Ministry of Environment of Korea, was employed to generate a land cover map of 2005 subject to the land use in Korea at that time. A new land cover map of 1989, before the construction of the Lake Shihwa, was made based on the 2005 map and the Landsat 4-5 TM satellite images of two years. Over the areas where the land use had been changed (e.g., from sea to wetlands, towns, etc.) due to the Lake Shihwa development project, the skin temperature decreased by up to $8^{\circ}C$ in the winter case while increased by as much as $14^{\circ}C$ in the summer case. Changes in the water vapor mixing ratio were mostly affected by advection and topography in both seasons, with considerable increase in the summer case due to continuous sea breeze. Local decrease in water vapor occurred over high land use change areas and/or over downstream of such areas where alteration in wind fields were induced by changes in skin temperature and surface roughness at the areas of land use changes. The albedo increased by about 0.1% in the regions where sea was converted into wetland. In the regions where urban areas were developed, such as Songdo New Town and Incheon International Airport, the albedo increased by up to 0.16%.

Microorganisms that live in the rhizosphere play a pivotal role in the functioning and maintenance of soil ecosystems. The study of rhizospheric cyanobacteria has been hampered by the difficulty to culture and maintain them in the laboratory. The present work investigated the production of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the potential of biofilm formation on the rhizoplane of pea plants by two cyanobacterial strains, isolated from rice rhizosphere. The unicellular cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 that were isolated from a rice rhizosphere, were investigated. Production of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 was measured under experimental conditions (pH and light). The bioactivity of the cyanobacterial auxin was demonstrated through the alteration of the rooting pattern of Pisum sativum seedlings. The increase in the concentration of L-tryptophan and the time that this amino acid was present in the medium resulted in a significant enhancement of the synthesis of IAA (r > 0.900 at p = 0.01). There was also a significant correlation between the concentration of IAA in the supernatant of the cyanobacteria cultures and the root length and number of the pea seedlings. Observations made by confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed the presence of cyanobacteria on the surface of the roots and also provided evidence for the penetration of the cyanobacteria in the endorhizosphere. We show that the synthesis of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 occurs under different environmental conditions and that the auxin is important for the development of the seedling roots and for establishing an intimate symbiosis between cyanobacteria and host plants.

Acid stress can affect the viability of probiotics, especially Bifidobacterium. This study aimed to improve the acid tolerance of Bifidobacterium longum BBMN68 using adaptive evolution. The stress response, and genomic differences of the parental strain and the variant strain were compared by acid stress. The highest acid-resistant mutant strain (BBMN68m) was isolated from more than 100 asexual lines, which were adaptive to the acid stress for 10^th, 20^th, 30^th, 40^th, and 50^th repeats, respectively. The variant strain showed a significant increase in acid tolerance under conditions of pH 2.5 for 2 h (from 7.92 to 4.44 log CFU/ml) compared with the wild-type strain (WT, from 7.87 to 0 log CFU/ml). The surface of the variant strain was also smoother. Comparative whole-genome analysis showed that the galactosyl transferase D gene (cpsD, bbmn68_1012), a key gene involved in exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesis, was altered by two nucleotides in the mutant, causing alteration in amino acids, pI (from 8.94 to 9.19), and predicted protein structure. Meanwhile, cpsD expression and EPS production were also reduced in the variant strain (p < 0.05) compared with WT, and the exogenous WT-EPS in the variant strain reduced its acid-resistant ability. These results suggested EPS was related to acid responses of BBMN68.
