We investigate the change of leaf chlorophyll content according to iron content in brown rice when cultivated on the iron limited solid MS medium. By cultivating wild-type and transgenic brown rice in a solid MS medium, we confirmed that iron deficiency chlorosis did not occur in MS media which were contained over 20% of iron content compared to normal MS condition. After selecting twenty kinds of Korean rice varieties, those brown rice were cultivated in solid MS media which were contained from 0 to 15% of iron content compared to normal MS condition then the leaf chlorophyll content was measured. The leaf chlorophyll content was changed according to iron content in brown rice when cultivated in solid MS medium which was contained 0 and 5% of iron content,. There was a strong correlation between iron content in brown rice and leaf chlorophyll content cultivated in solid MS medium with 5% of Fe content. Therefore we expect that analysis of leaf chlorophyll content after cultivated on MS medium with 5% iron content compared to normal MS media condition will be more simple and effective method to screening high iron content brown rice without measurement of iron content.

본 연구의 목적은 고등학교 과학 교과의 효과적인 수업방법에 대해 고등학교 과학교사들과 고등학생들이 가지고 있는 인지프레임을 조사하고, 그들이 2009 개정 과학과 교육과정의 고등학교 과학에서 제시하고 있는 교수학습 방법을 어떻게 이해하고 있는지를 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 275명의 고등학교 과학 교사와 275명의 고등학생으로부터 데이터를 수집하였고, 수집된 데이터는 언어네트워크 분석법을 통하여 단어 분석과 프레임 분석을 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고등학교 과학 교사들은 문제해결능력과 탐구능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 학생 중심의 수업이 효과적이라고 인식하고 있다. 반면 고등학생들은 교사들이 충분한 자료를 제시하여야 하고 대학 진학에 도움이 될 수 있는 수업이 효과적이라고 인식하고 있다. 둘째, 두 집단은 모두 2009 개정 과학과 교육과정을 충분히 반영하지 못한 인지프레임을 가지고 있다. 특히 두 집단은 융합 또는 통합이라는 요소를 그들의 인지프레임에 연결시키지 못하고 있고, 여러 과학 분야의 내용들이 서로 밀접하게 관련되어 있다는 사실을 인식하지 못하고 있다. 그러므로 교사들이 고등학교 과학 교육과정에 대해 명확하게 이해하고 이를 실행할 수 있도록 현직 연수를 강화시킬 필요가 있다.

In the last decade loyalty programs have gained popularity across various industries. They are one of the most popular marketing tools that companies use to increase retention, enhance loyalty and gather ‘big data’. The number of companies adopting loyalty programs is rapidly increasing with fashion department stores grown their loyalty program subscriptions by 70% between 2010 and 2012 (Colloquy, 2013). One of the main reasons for this growth can be attributed to the benefits fashion retailers offer to their customers. A new body of current research had directed its attention to a comprehensive set of benefits offered by loyalty programs as well as their potential to increase customer retention and profitability (Evanschitzky et al., 2012). Until recently, it was debatable if loyalty programs can be effective and appropriate in luxury retailing (Lowenstein, 2009), despite research evidence showing a positive effect of loyalty programs’ benefits on customer retention (e.g. Mimouni-Chaabane & Volle, 2010). Traditionally, luxury companies and retailers build loyalty through top-end and differentiated customer experiences. If loyalty schemes were to succeed in the luxury sector they had to deliver the kind of recognition and rewards that make luxury shoppers feel remarkable. Given the growing interest in loyalty programs and scarcity of research related to their effectiveness in the luxury fashion department stores, this study comes to examine the effectiveness of such programs. In particular, this research examines how the utilitarian, hedonic and symbolic perceived benefits from loyalty programs can influence the satisfaction and trust with the program and consequently store loyalty. These relationships are compared between high- and low-end fashion department stores and the differences in their effectiveness are reported. To test these relationships data were collected form a sample of 984 consumers from an online panel in US, using a structured questionnaire. A range of different department stores that offer loyalty programs were pre-selected through a rater procedure to represent the high- and low- fashion department stores. Using structural equation modelling and multi-group analysis, findings support that the effectiveness of loyalty programs is important to both high-and low-end fashion retailing settings but the strength of this effectiveness varies across the two settings. Specifically, hedonic and symbolic benefits derived from loyalty programs found to be more important in the high-end rather than the low-end fashion retailers. In contrast, utilitarian benefits found to be much more effective in influencing customers’ satisfaction with the program in the low-end fashion retailing. The results of this research address an important research gap and help to better understand customers' perceptions of loyalty program benefits obtained from high- and low-end fashion department stores. Finally, the findings provide clear guidelines for managers in both high- and low-end fashion retailing on how to design effectively their loyalty program rewards, by strategically allocating their resources to the benefits that are more important in their setting.

Effects of Cu and B on effective grain size and low-temperature toughness of thermo-mechanically processed high-strength bainitic steels were investigated in this study. The microstructure of the steel specimens was analyzed using optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy; their effective grain size was also characterized by electron back-scattered diffraction. To evaluate the strength and low-temperature toughness, tensile and Charpy impact tests were carried out. The specimens were composed of various low-temperature transformation products such as granular bainite (GB), degenerated upper bainite (DUB), lower bainite (LB), and lath marteniste (LM), dependent on the addition of Cu and B. The addition of Cu slightly increased the yield and tensile strength, but substantially deteriorated the low-temperature toughness because of the higher volume fraction of DUB with a large effective grain size. The specimen containing both Cu and B had the highest strength, but showed worse low-temperature toughness of higher ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) and lower absorbed energy because it mostly consisted of LB and LM. In the B-added specimen, on the other hand, it was possible to obtain the best combination of high strength and good low-temperature toughness by decreasing the overall effective grain size via the appropriate formation of different low-temperature transformation products containing GB, DUB, and LB/LM.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is effective to control the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. However, its relative slow and unstable control efficacy limits its wide use by farmers. To facilitate pathogenic rate of Bt, a bacterial mixture technique has been developed in this study. Two entomopathogenic bacteria, Xenorhabdus nematophila (Xn) and Photorhabdus temperata temperata (Ptt), possess high immunosuppressive activity against several lepidopteran insects. The mixture treatments using Bt + Xn or Bt + Ptt significantly enhanced Bt pathogenicity in median lethal concentration and time. Though live Xn and Ptt bacterial cells gave significant effect on the pathogenicity, their 48 h culture broth after removing the bacterialcells still possessed the synergistic effect on the Bt pathogenicity. The larvae fed with the bacterial culture broth suffered significant immunosuppression in response bacterial to infection

이동하중에 의한 교량의 공진현상은 차량의 속도와 유효타격간격에 의해 결정되는 이동하중의 운행진동수와 교량의 고유진동수가 일치할 경우 발생하게 된다. 철도교의 경우에는 정해진 열차만 통행하게 되므로 이러한 유효타격간격이 정량적으로 정해져있다 본 연구에서는 고속전철하중을 받는 교량의 지간장 변화에 따른 교량의 공진현상과 공진소멸현상을 분석하고자 한다. 강합성형 철도교에 대하여 판요소와 공간뼈대요소의 조합에 의한 3차원 모델링을 적용하였으며 또한 고속전철하중은 이동집중하중 모델과 3차원 모델링 두가지 방법을 사용하였다 수치예제로서 지간장 변화에 따른 수직처짐의 동적확대계수 상판의 최대수직가속도 단부회전각 등의 동적응답 분석을 통하여 고속철도 교량의 동적안정성에 적합한 지간장 설계기준에 대하여 논의 하였다.

고용량 131I 치료는 분화갑상선암으로 인한 갑상선전절제술을 받은 환자에게 보편적으로 시행되어 왔다. 고용량 131I 치료를 하는 경우 환자로부터 일반인이 받게 되는 피폭선량을 선량한도 이내로 제한하기 위해 환자를 일정 기간 동안 격리하여야 한다. 유효반감기는 환자로부터 가족들이 얼마나 피폭되는지 계산하거 나 격리기간을 결정하는데 중요한 값이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 NM670 SPECT/CT를 이용해 고용량 131I 치 료환자의 유효붕괴상수, 유효반감기, 격리기간을 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고용량 131I 치료환자의 유효반감기를 도출하였고, 체내에 잔류 방사능량이 퇴원기준인 1. 2 GBq 에 도달하는 시간을 확인하였다. 또한 치료선량별 유효반감기를 비교하였을 때 유의한 차이가 없 었으나, 격리기간은 치료선량이 커질수록 격리기간이 길어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전처치 유형별 유 효반감기를 비교하였을 때 rhTSH 환자군과 THW 환자군의 유효반감기가 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 격리기간은 rhTSH 환자군이 THW 환자군 보다 짧게 나타났다. 이는 치료선량의 차이로 인해 격리기간이 짧아진 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 현행 의료보험체계(rhTSH 사용 시 3.7 GBq 이하에서 보험적용)가 유지된다면, 전처치 유형별로 구분하여 현행 격리기간(2박 3일)보다 더 이른 시간에 환자를 퇴원시킬 수 있을 것이다.

Even rice is one of the most important food crops in the world, its micronutrient contents including iron is not enough to solve mineral malnutrition which is a significant public health issue in most developing countries. Iron deficiency is probably the most widespread micronutrient deficiency in humans. Experts estimate that a rice based diet should contain 14.5 ppm iron in endosperm. However, Cesar P et al reported that average iron content in milled rice was 2 ~ 3 ppm, whease it was 10 ~ 11 ppm in brown rice. Fe content of rice is usually measured by inductively plasma spectrometry (ICP). It takes times and could make error while sample processing. To breed high iron contained rice variety, the effective screen method for select high iron contained elite line is essential. To develop more effective method in screening high Fe contained brown rice, we investigate the relation the leaf chlorophyll content with iron content in brown rice. Result of analyzing leaf chlorophyll content of OsNAS3-OX which contain more Fe than wild-type plant after cultivated on Fe limited MS medium, those of OsNAS3-OX was higher than those of wild-type plant in 0 and 20 % Fe contained MS medium. After measured Fe content in twenty kinds of brown rice, we cultivated those in Fe limited MS medium then investigate the relation of leaf chlorophyll content with Fe content of brown rice. In 0 and 5 % Fe contained MS medium, the leaf chlorophyll content was highly related with Fe content of brown rice as 0.66 and 0.79. Though these result, analyze of leaf chlorophyll content cultivated in 5 % Fe content in MS media was effect on screening high Fe contained.
