  • This study experimentally and numerically investigated the tensile damage progress in stitched laminates. In particular, it focused on the effects of stitching on the damage progress. First, we experimentally confirmed that ply cracks and delamination appeared under load regardless of stitching. We then performed damage-extension simulation for stitched laminates using a layer-wise finite element model with stitch threads as beam elements, in which the damage (ply cracks and delamination) was represented by cohesive elements. A detailed comparison between observation and the simulated results confirmed that stitching had little effect on the onset and accumulation of ply cracks. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the stitch threads significantly suppressed the extension of the delamination.

  • Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are suitable to provide employment with lower investment in densely populated countries like Bangladesh. A stochastic frontier model is used to evaluate performance of SME Banking of the commercial banks in Bangladesh. Input (Total Deposit, Cost of Fund and Salary Expenditure) and output (Finance to SME) data are collected on 45 banks which are dealt with SME for 13 quarters from $1^{st}$quarter of 2010 to $2^{nd}$quarter of 2013. Average performance of the SME banking is 0.716 in Bangladesh. That is, banks have opportunity to increase 30% performance in SME banking from the same inputs. Bangladesh Development Bank has lowest performance (0.540) while Eastern bank has the highest performance (0.753). Highest (0.743) and lowest (0.662) performance is observed during the second quarter of 2013 and fourth quarter of 2010 respectively. Inefficient Bank might be benefited by following the rules of efficient banks.

  • - 본 웹 데이터베이스 서버의 구축을 통해 Haliotis 속간의 염기서열과 일치하는 서열을 자체 BLAST 를 통해 매우 빠른 속도로 추출 할 수 있었다. - Repeat elements, E. coli, vector 등의 서열들과 동시에 BLAST를 시행할 수 있어 cDNA 또는 genomic DNA 라이브러리를 구축할 때 라이브러리의 오염, 삽입체의 길이 등의 상태를 쉽게 확인 할 수 있었다. - Clustering Res. 인터페이스를 통해 SNPs 발굴이 용이하게 되었으며 자체 구축된 primer3 를 통해 실험용 시발체를 제작할 수 있게 되었다 (Evans et al. 2001). - 이러한 SNP 데이터베이스 구축은 SNP 발굴 작업을 극대화 시킬 수 있어 차후 수행될 Haliotis 관련 분자육종 관련연구에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Abstract MOCIE(Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy) handles 6 Projects for Intelligent Robot, whose budget is around 40 Million dollars per year. In this paper we have tried to analyze the state of robot technology of the projects. Each sub-projects has been divided according to the technological classification. Two major projects of Next Generation Growth Engine and 21C Frontier show different state each other. The former is focused on the product while the latter on the technology. Output of 21C Frontier should be linked to the Next Generation Growth Engine, otherwise, it will fail to advance. The project management handles only the quantitative performance such as business results, number of prototype, and number of patents and papers. Technological Capability is essential and it should be managed. This paper proposes efficient classification of robot technology and technology index.

  • Lilium ${\times}$ formolongi was genetically engineered by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation with the plasmid pCrtZW-N8idi-crtEBIY, which contains seven enzyme genes under the regulation of the CaMV 35S promoter. In the transformants, ketocarotenoids were detected in both calli and leaves, which showed a strong orange color. In transgenic calli, the total amount of carotenoids [133.3 ${\mu}g/g$ fresh weight (FW)] was 26.1-fold higher than in wild-type calli. The chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency in transgenic orange plantlets were significantly lowered; however, after several months of subculture, they had turned into plantlets with green leaves that showed significant increases in chlorophyll and photosynthetic efficiency. The total carotenoid contents in leaves of transgenic orange and green plantlets were quantified at 102.9 and 135.2 ${\mu}g/g$ FW, respectively, corresponding to 5.6- and 7.4-fold increases over the levels in the wild-type. Ketocarotenoids such as echinenone, canthaxanthin, 3'-hydroxyechinenone, 3-hydroxyechinenone, and astaxanthin were detected in both transgenic calli and orange leaves. A significant change in the type and composition of ketocarotenoids was observed during the transition from orange transgenic plantlets to green plantlets. Although 3'-hydroxyechinenone, 3-hydroxyechinenone, astaxanthin, and adonirubin were absent, and echinenone and canthaxanthin were present at lower levels, interestingly, the upregulation of carotenoid biosynthesis led to an increase in the total carotenoid concentration (+31.4%) in leaves of the transgenic green plantlets.

  • 본 연구는 정부의 대표적인 대형연구개발사업인 21세기 프론티어 연구개발 사업의 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여 향후 대형 연구개발 사업을 추진하는 정부 정책 결정자와 연구단 관계자에게 정책적인 시사점을 주는데 목적이 있다. 기존 대형연구개발사업의 프로그램에 대한 성과분석과 평가는 일부 있었지만, 연구주체, 연구유형, 연구기간, 연구 분야에 따른 성과 특성과 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이를 위해 교육과학기술부가 추진 중인 21세기 프론티어 연구개발 사업단 중 2010년과 2011년 사업단의 연구기간이 종료된 8개 사업단 과제 전체를 대상으로 정책요인별로 가설을 설정하였다. 사업을 수행한 연구주체의 소속(산업체, 대학, 출연연구소)에 따라 연구 성과에 차이가 있는지, 연구유형(기초, 응용, 개발)에 따라 성과에 차이가 있는지, 연구기간에 따라 성과에 차이가 있는지, 연구과제의 기술분야별로 성과에 차이가 있는지 등을 검증하였다. 연구 성과는 대학의 논문 성과가 출연연이나 산업체에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 산업체는 특허의 국외 출원과 등록이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 개발연구는 국내출원과 등록, 국외출원과 기술이전 계약의 성과가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 장기간(6년 이상)의 연구가 단기 연구보다 국내출원이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연구 대상 기술 분야(바이오, 나노, 에너지환경기술)별로도 연구 성과의 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Difficulties associated with bioartificial liver (BAL) preservation limit not only the commercialization of BAL, but also its clinical trials. In this study, the possibility of cold preservation of BAL cartridges containing porcine hepatocytes was examined at 4$^{\circ}C$. In an in vitro perfusion culture System, BAL cartridges maintained cytochrome P450 metabolic function for at least 50 days. However, all BAL cartridges completely lost their ammonia eliminating ability when stored at 4$^{\circ}C$. We a1so studied the effect of cell density on the maintenance of BAL liver function In a highly differentiated and healthy state. As expected, BALs containing a larger number of hepatocytes demonstrated higher metabolic functions. When metabolic functions were compared per gram of hepatotytes, no large differences were observed between devices containing different densities of hepatocytes. Decreased cell density did not Successfully prolong BAL function. The viability and function of isolated hepatotytes highly depend on the culture conditions, such as cell density, substrata, culture media, and additives to the culture media. Perfusion culture of BAL cartridges at 4$^{\circ}C$ gave a promosing result with respect to the maintenance of P450 activity. However, as indicated by the rapid loss of ammonia metabolic activity, many factors still remain to be optimized for preservation of BAL keeping high metabolic functions for a longer time.
