  • The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), commonly used in high vacuum deposition, becomes difficult to use when a thick film is deposited on the quartz, affecting the crystal's inherent vibration. In this study, a non-destructive optical measurement method was developed to measure the film's deposition rate during the in-situ film deposition process. By measuring the scattered laser intensity caused by the dimer in the parylene gas passing through the gas flow path, it was successfully confirmed that the ratio of the dimer in the parylene gas increases as the pyrolysis temperature decreases. Additionally, it was noted that the film's thickness and haze increase as the pyrolysis temperature decreases by confirming the characteristics of the visible parylene films. Through the research results, we aim to utilize the stable in-situ film deposition rate measurement system to control the precise film deposition rate of parylene films.

  • In this paper, a multi-purpose golf putting range finder based on an IR razer sensor and an inertial sensor was designed and made. It was designed to measure distance and slope within a 50m outdoor measurement range for the main purpose of golf putting distance measurement, and at the same time, it is designed to measure temperature information that affects putting. In addition, the distance meter supports house maintenance work by providing length and horizontality measurement values within the indoor 80m measurement range, and provides safety from indoor or vehicle fires by providing indoor temperature measurement values to mobile phones through linkage with the web server. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method and its interworking performance with a smartphone, a prototype was produced and a web server was built, and the usefulness was confirmed by showing an acceptable error rate within 5% in repeated experiments.

  • Regulation of proper gene expression is important for cellular and organismal survival, maintenance, and growth. Abnormal gene expression, even for a single critical gene, can thwart cellular integrity and normal physiology to cause diseases, aging, and death. Therefore, gene expression profiling serves as a powerful tool to understand the pathology of diseases and to cure them. In this study, the difference in gene expression in Flammulina velutipes was compared between the wild type (WT) mushroom and the mutant one with clogging phenomenon. Differentially expressed transcripts were screened to identify the candidate genes responsible for the mutant phenotype using the DNA microarray analysis. A total of 88 genes including 60 upregulated and 28 downregulated genes were validated using the real-time quantitative PCR analysis. In addition, proteomic differences between the WT and mutant mushroom were analyzed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF). Interestingly, the genes identified by these genomic and proteomic analyses were involved in stress response, translation, and energy/sugar metabolism, including HSP70, elongation factor 2, and pyruvate kinase. Together, our data suggest that the aberrant expression of these genes attributes to the mutant clogging phenotype. We propose that these genes can be targeted to foster normal growth in F. velutipes.

  • 최근 기존의 전통적인 부유사채집기를 활용한 유사량 측정방법의 대안으로 지속적인 유량측정을 목적으로 활용되고 있는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도를 측정에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만, 하천에서 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계를 활용한 유사량 측정 연구는 현장에서 측정된 자료를 기반으로 분석이 수행되기 때문에 통제된 유사 조건에서의 유사의 농도 및 입도분포에 대한 사전 정보를 바탕으로 정밀한 분석의 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안동하천실험센터 순환수로에서 균일한 입도를 가지고 있는 황토를 활용하여 주입량에 따른 초음파산란도의 변화와 동시에 측정된 LISST(laser in-situ scattering and transmissometry)의 부유사 농도와 입도 자료를 활용하여 유사공급에 따른 3Mhz의 단일 주파수를 사용하는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 및 평균입경의 측정에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 측정결과, 유사공급에 따라서 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계로부터 측정된 셀별 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도의 공간적인 분포의 분석이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 유사감쇄계수를 활용하여 LISST로부터 측정된 평균입경과의 관계식을 개발하여 유사공급에 따른 평균입경의 변화를 측정할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 추후, 통제된 조건에서의 다양한 입도분포에 따른 실험을 통해 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 정확도를 개선과 유사감쇄계수를 통해 평균입경을 측정하는데 활용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

  • CCTV is mainly used as a real-time detection system for critical facilities. In the case of CCTV, although the accuracy is high, the viewing angle is narrow, so it is used in combination with a sensor such as a radar. LiDAR is a technology that acquires distance information by detecting the time it takes to reflect off an object using a high-power pulsed laser. In the case of lidar, there is a problem in that the utilization is not high in terms of cost and technology due to the limitation of the number of simultaneous processing sensors in the server due to the data throughput. The detection method by the optical mesh sensor is also vulnerable to strong winds and extreme cold, and there is a problem of maintenance due to damage to animals. In this paper, by using the 1550nm wavelength band instead of the 905nm wavelength band used in the existing lidar sensor, the effect on the weather environment is strong and we propose to develop a system that can integrate and control multiple sensors.

  • The use of Hi-Tech in cultural heritage preservation and the promotion of cultural heritage values in general, particularly artifacts, opens new opportunities for attracting tourists while also posing a challenge due to the need to reward high-quality excursions to visitors historical and cultural values. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Hi-Tech in new building management have been widely adopted in the construction industry; however, Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) is an exciting challenge in 3D modeling and building management. For those reasons, the Scan-to-HBIM approach involves generating an HBIM model for existing buildings from the point cloud data collected by Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanner integrated with Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), contributes to spatial historic sites simulation for virtual experiences. Therefore, this study aims to (1) generate the application of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality to Historic Building Information Modeling - based workflows in a case study which is a monument in the city; (2) evaluate the application of these technologies to improve awareness of visitors related to the promotion of historical values by surveying the experience before and after using this application. The findings shed light on the barriers that prevent users from utilizing technologies and problem-solving solutions. According to the survey results, after experiencing virtual tours through applications and video explanations, participant's perception of the case study improved. When combined with emerging Hi-Tech and immersive interactive games, the Historic Building Information Modeling helps increase information transmission to improve visitor awareness and promote heritage values.

  • Many studies have been conducted to improve technology for semen cryopreservation in pigs. However, computer-assisted analysis of sperm motility and morphology is insufficient to predict the molecular function of frozen-thawed semen. More accurate expression patterns of boar sperm proteins may be derived using the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technique. In this study, the iTRAQ-labeling system was coupled with liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis to identify differentially expressed CM10-fractionated proteins between fresh and frozen-thawed boar semen. A total of 76 protein types were identified to be differentially expressed, among which 9 and 67 proteins showed higher and lower expression in frozen-thawed than in fresh sperm samples, respectively. The classified functions of these proteins included oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial inner membrane and matrix, and pyruvate metabolic processes, which are involved in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis; and sperm flagellum and motile cilium, which are involved in sperm tail structure. These results suggest a possible network of biomarkers associated with survival after the cryopreservation of Duroc boar semen.

  • Angular dependence of critical current density of SmBCO coated conductor fabricated by co-evaporation method was investigated. For comparison, three samples were fabricated by a co-evaporation method and one sample was fabricated by a pulsed laser deposition process. The deposition system, named EDDC (Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chambers), is a batch type co-evaporation system, which is composed of reaction chamber and evaporation chamber. The normalized critical current density ratio ($I_c/I_c$(H//ab-plane)) of EDDC-SmBCO samples was found to be higher than that of PLD-YBCO sample in the whole range of angle. While the EDDC-SmBCO samples evidently had a peak at the angle of H//c-axis in the plot of the angular dependence of critical current, the normalized critical current of PLD-YBCO sample decreased monotonically without any peak as angle increased. The field dependence of critical current under the magnetic field parallel to the normal direction of those samples showed similar aspect in the range of $0\;G{\sim}5000\;G$.

  • 본 연구는 두 가지 관점, 즉 다이오드레이저를 구강연조직에 접촉식으로 조사하여 조직을 절제할 경우 첫째 심부조직에서의 온도 상승 정도에 대한 분석 평가, 둘째 절제에 따른 조직의 열적 응고에 대한 조직학적 분석 평가를 위해 시도되었다. 연구를 위해 도축된 소의 혀 배면으로부터 5.0mm깊이에 T형 열전대(type T thermocouple)를 설치하고 조사조건에 따른 레이저절제 도주의 온도변화를 측정하고, 또한 해당조사부위의 조직을 대상으로 통법에 의한 H-E염색 후 조직학적 측면에서 열적 응고상을 검색하여 Nd:YAG레이저의 경우에서와 비교하였다. 즉 파장815nm의 다이오드레이저를 0-10W의 출력, 50Hz와 연속파의 주파수조건에서 접촉식으로 조사하였으며, 또한 파장1064nm의 Nd:YAG레이저를 0-10W의 출력, 50Hz와 100Hz의 주파수 조건에서 접촉식으로 조사하였다. 레이저의 접촉조사시 레이저광섬유 첨단부에서 10(10gm의 일정한 압력과 25mm/sec의 이동속도로 조직을 절제하였다. 레이저가 접촉조사된 조직부위를 통법에 의해 조직학적으로 H-E염색을 시행하였으며, 계측현미경을 이용하여 10배율 아래에서 조직절제의 폭과 깊이, 측방 및 하방 쪽으로 열적 응고의 폭을 계측하였다. 계측치에 대한 통계학적 처리결과 조직절제의 폭과 측방쪽으로 열적응고의 폭은 다이오드레이저에와 Nd:YAG레이저에서 같은 정도를 나타냈다. 조직절제의 깊이는 Nd:YAG레이저에서에 비해 다이오드레이저에서 더 깊었다. 하방쪽으로의 열적응고의 폭은 Nd:YAG레이저를 10Hz의 조건에서 조사한 경우에서 가장 넓었으며, 다이오드레이저를 50Hz와 연속파의 조건에서 조사한 경우에서 가장 좁았다. 레이저절제 도중 심부조직에서의 온도변화는 다이오드 레이저에서와 Nd:YAG레이저에서 모두 출력이 증가함에 따라 상승되었으며, 다이오드레이저에서 보다 Nd:YAG레이저에서 더 높이 상승되었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 시도된 조사조건 범위 이내에서는 구강연조직 절제시 다이오드레이저가 펄스형 광섬유 전달식 Nd:YAG레이저 보다 심부조직에서의 낮은 온도상승과 하방쪽으로의 좁은 열적 응고의 폭을 보이면서 우수한 조직절제효과를 나타냈다.
