Over the last decade, there has been growing interest in the plastic degradation capabilities of insect because herbivorous insects may be a valuable resource for microorganisms that can break down synthetic plastics. Insects that can digest plastics using their gut microbiota are gaining interest for use in bioremediation, although their environmental benefits remain unknown. However, most plastics biodegraded by insect gut microbes are polyethylene, polystyrene with little knowledge available on the gut microbiome of insects capable of degrading other synthetic plastics. Therefore, there is an urgent need to secure microbial resources based on insect-microbiome interactions and promote end-of-life solutions for synthetic plastics.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 표전 근전도 신호를 기반으로 기존의 재활로봇 알고리즘의 성능의 개선하기 위한 새로운 특징 요소를 개발 및 검증하였다. 연구방법 : 기존의 선형 재귀 모델을 기반으로 한 실시간 로봇 제어 알고리즘을 수정하여, 2개 이상의 주파수 특징을 가지는 근 전도신호에 그 특징의 수에 맞추어 주파수 영역을 다르게 한 모델을 개발하였다. 결과 : 측정된 결과 개선된 알고리즘의 모델이 기존 모델대비 높은 정확도가 나옮을 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 이를 적용 한다면, 근전도 기반 재활로봇의 정확도가 향상될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 제안된 복수의 필터뱅크 특징을 기반으로 한 개선될 선형 재귀알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘보다 높은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 향후 뇌졸중 환자의 치료를 위한 재활 로봇을 제어하는데 활용된다면, 환자의 의지를 더욱 정확히 반영한 재활치료를 통하여 환자의 재활치료효과를 증진시킬 것이라 기대된다.

The purpose of the study, approaching from the aspect of the construction technologies, is to determine the architectural techniques of traditional wood architects in existence, through which the systems and techniques that create the inherent characteristics of Korean architecture are clarified. With understanding traditional construction system and focusing on the fact that built environment results from the consistent standards and technologies of architects, this study inquires into the systematic standard and its formation that present in the process of planning for the overall scale and shape of a building from the study determines dimension of structural members. All the members that constitute the structure are trimmed in advance and assembled in a short period of time on the site. Because of that, the dimensions for trimming and assembling are predetermined according to designated standards in the planning process, therefore consistent standard of computation are in necessity to design shapes and sizes of enormous amount of structural members. This study also shows the standards of measurement employed by architects while planning for structural members of a building, and how the size and range of its composition are developed.

Cemented tungsten carbide has been used in cutting tools and die materials, and is an important industrial material. When the particle size is reduced to ultrafine, the hardness and other mechanical properties are improved remarkably. Ultrafine cemented carbide with high toughness and hardness is now widely used. The objective of this study is synthesis of nanostructured WC-Co powders by liquid phase method of tungstate. The precursor powders were obtained by freezen-drying of aqueous solution of soluble salts, such as ammonium metatungstate, cobalt nitrate. the final compositions were WC-10Co. In the case of liquid phase method, it can be observed synthesis of WC-10Co. The properties of powder produced at various temperature, were estimated from the SEM, BET and C/S analyser.

The remarkable regenerative capacity of the adult liver provides a setting to test the functional consequences of grafting human cells generated from pluripotent stem cells. This presentation describes a procedure to differentiate hepatocytes from human embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells using only defined factors. Two cell populations generated in vitro were grafted into the spleen of mice treated with the hepato-toxin carbon tetra-chloride. The population containing few hepatocytes generated few surviving cells that produced low levels of albumin and did not support regeneration of the host liver. The cells enriched in donor hepatocytes efficiently engrafted around the branches of the portal vein, expressed hepatic features for at least 5 weeks. These cells also contributed to the endogenous tissue regeneration and function of the host liver. These results show that the controlled differentiation of hepatocytes from human pluripotent cells provides new approaches to define the mechanisms of tissue regeneration and restore liver function.
