The present study was designed to investigate aging-related effects on the activities of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes of rat liver by dietary supplementation of Korean red ginseng water-extract. Rat did not show any discernible signs of the rejection symptoms, and blood GOT and GPT levels were not influenced by ginseng water extracts, Cytochrome 450 levels and NADPH cytochrome P45O reductase, p-450 dependent ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, and benzphetamine N-demethylase activities were decreased with aging, however, these phase I system enzymes activities in the ginseng group of24 months were well maintained compared with normal group. But, Levels of cytochrome bs and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activities were also decreased with aging and were not found a clear difference between two groups. Glutathione-s-transferase activity, phase II enzyme system, in liver cytosols was also decreased in old ages, but the degree of decrease was higher in normal group than in giuseng supplemented group. These results indicate that long-term supplementation of red ginseng water extracts from weaning to 24 months do not show any side effects to rats, and retard age-related deteriorations of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes activities in old ages.

This paper introduces the research progress on the artificial brain in the Telerobotics and Control Laboratory at KAIST. This series of studies is based on the assumption that it will be possible to develop an artificial intelligence by copying the mechanisms of the animal brain. Two important brain mechanisms are considered: spike-timing dependent plasticity and dopaminergic plasticity. Each mechanism is implemented in two coding paradigms: spike-codes and rate-codes. Spike-timing dependent plasticity is essential for self-organization in the brain. Dopamine neurons deliver reward signals and modify the synaptic efficacies in order to maximize the predicted reward. This paper addresses how artificial intelligence can emerge by the synergy between self-organization and reinforcement learning. For implementation issues, the rate codes of the brain mechanisms are developed to calculate the neuron dynamics efficiently.

단백질원으로 참치자숙액 1, 3, 5%를 원료에 첨가하여 고추장을 제조한 후 이화학적변화를 측정하였다. 숙성 중 고추장의 pH는 참치자숙액 첨가량에 관계없이 감소하였고, 적정산도는 증가하였다. 숙성 30일 후 아미노태질소 함량은 대조구 171.59 mg%에서 참치자숙액 5% 첨가의 경우 191.10 mg%로 증가한 후 감소하였다. 환원당 함량은 모든 시료에 있어서 숙성 30일에 최대치를 보였다가 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 대조구에 비해 참치자숙액을

이 논문에서는 안전한 해양레저 행위를 지원하기 위한 두 가지 개인 휴대용 전자장치 개발 내용을 기술한다. 하나는 조난자를 신속히 민-관-군 동시 다발적으로 수색하기 위한 선박용 9GHz 대역의 일반 레이더 전파에 응답하는 레이더 응답장치이다. 다른 하나는 조난자의 위치를 추적하고 식별할 수 있는 900MHz 스펙트럼 확산 주파수 홉핑 방식의 송수신기와 GPS를 이용한 해상 무선식별장치 개념의 전자장치이다. 해양경찰 함정을 이용한 해상에서의 다양한 현장실험을 통하여 두 가지 장비의 성능을 확인하였다. 그리고 향후 상용화 방안에 대해서 검토하였다.

이 연구의 최종목적은 기존의 선박용 자기 컴퍼스를 대체할 수 있는 디지털 컴퍼스 개발에 있다. 우선, 3축의 고정밀 프럭스-게이트센서와 소형 스텝 모터를 이용하여 새로운 디지털 컴퍼스 장치를 개발하였다. 그리고 기존 자차측정 방법과 달리 선박의 선회 없이 자동으로 자차의 분석과 수정이 가능하도록 기존 자차이론에 칼만필터 개념을 접목시킨 새로운 자차수정 이론을 제안하였다. 개발한 디지털 컴퍼스와 제안한 자차수정 방법의 유효성을 실습선 '새누리호'를 이용한 성능평가 실험을 통하여 유효성을 검증하였다.

Current environmental problems of rural area are connected to loss of rural functions which is food security as well as conservation of environment, balanced development of country and succession of traditional culture. To solve these problems, recent projects are focusing on social changes in rural area and conservation of rurality creating values of rural amenity resources. At this point, full implications of rurality which is the various aspects of rurality should be defined to be applied in direct plans to conserve the rurality. In this study, nine attributes of rurality are found as various meanings with adjectives included in image of rurality. For practical use of these adjectives of rurality attributes, we evaluate the list of rural amenity resources and suggested plans for conservation of rural amenity. These attributes can be used as an effective method for village plan which brings one of the attributes into relief.

The treatment of styrene vapor was carried out using the biofilter packed with loess/polyurethane composite during continuous operation of 74 days. The microorganisms were adapted within 2-3 days under the experimental conditions of inlet concentration and empty bed contact time (EBCT). At 200 sec of EBCT, the removal efficiency of styrene was 100% with 200 ppmv of inlet concentration, while 92% with 400 ppmv of inlet concentration. The biofilter showed the stable removal efficiencies of over 74 % under the EBCT range from 300 to 75 sec at the 150 ppmv of inlet styrene concentration. The maximum capacity of styrene removal for the biofilter packed with loess/polyurethane was 29 g/m3/hr. During continuous operation of 74 days, pH of the drain water changed slightly and the pressure drop through the biofilter column was below 45 mmH2O/m.
