Mirror surface machining for large area flattening in the display field has a problem such as a tool wear and a increase in machining time due to large area machining. It should be studied to decrease machining time and tool wear. In this paper, multi-tool machining method using a PCD tool and a SCD tool was applied in order to decrease machining time and tool wear. Machining characteristics (cutting force, machined surface and surface roughness) of PCD tool and SCD tool were evaluated in order to apply PCD tool to flattening machining. Based on basic experi- ments, the PCD/SCD multi-tool method and the SCD single-tool method were compared through surface roughness and machining time for appllying large area mold machining.

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are too compact to be resolved by any existing optical telescope facility, making it difficult to understand their structure and the emission processes responsible for their huge energy output. However, variability, one of their characteristic properties, provides a tool to probe the inner regions of AGN. Blazars are the best candidates for such a study, and hence a considerable amount of effort is being made to investigate variability in these sources across the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, using the Mt. Abu infrared observatory (MIRO) blazar monitoring program, we present intra-night, inter-night, and long term aspects of the variability in S5 0716+71, 3C66A, and OJ 287. These stars show significant variability on short (a few tens of mins, to a few hours, to a few days) to long term (months to years) timescales. Based on the light travel time argument, the shortest variability timescales (micro-variability) provide upper limits to the size of the emission region. While S5 0716 shows a very high duty cycle of variability (> 80 %), 3C66A shows a much lower intra day variability (IDV) duty cycle (< 20 %). All three show rapid variations within 2.5 to 3.5 hr, which, perhaps, are generated near the vicinity of black holes. Assuming this, estimates of the masses of the black holes are made at ~109, 8×108, and 2.7×109 M⨀ for S5 0716+71, 3C66A, and OJ 287, respectively. Multi-wavelength light-curves for the blazar PKS 1510-089 are discussed to infer the emission processes responsible for the recent flaring episodes in this source.

GM벼 OsCK는 벼 유래의 OsCK1 유전자를 벼에 형질전환 하여 벼흰잎마름병 및 벼도열병에 대한 저항성을 높게 한벼로 농촌진흥청에서 개발하였다. 형질전환 벡터의 구성은 양쪽 border (LB, RB) 상간에 2개의 MAR 염기서열이 서로 마주보는 형태로 위치하고 있으며, 제초제 저항성 유전자 PAT는 CaMV 35S promoter에 의하여 발현이 유도되고, 목표 유전자인 choline kinase (OsCK)는 actin promoter에 의하여 발현이 조절되며 left border 기준으로 역방향으로 배치되었다. 도입유전자 확인을 위하여 adaptor ligation PCR을 수행하였는데, MAR 영역에 위치하는 제한효소로 GM벼 genomic DNA를 절단한 후 adaptor를 붙였다. 염기서열 분석을 위하여 T-DNA의 양 말단에서 primer를 제작한 후 sequence 분석을 하였다. 분석한 결과, T-DNA의 right border 인근의 MAR sequence가 벼 genome의 10번 염색체 129971번 염기와 연결되어 있음을 확인하였다. Left 영역의 삽입위치는 이후 실시한 Illumina NGS 시스템을 이용하여 확인할 수 있었으며, GM 벼에는 2개의 T-DNA가 도입되었음을 알 수 있고, 첫 번째 T-DNA는 벼 10번 염색체 BAC클론 OSJNBa0014J14의 128947번째 염기와 129970째 염기에 위치하고 벼 genome 염기 1024 bp가 결실됨을 확인하였다. 이 과정에서 첫 번째 T-DNA left border와 첫 번째 MAR sequence 일부(370 bp)가 결실되었고 right border와 두 번째 MAR 영역 199 bp가 결실되었음도 확인하였다. 두 번째 T-DNA는 right border가 결실된 형태로 첫번째 T-DNA의 35S promoter 중간에 삽입되었음을 확인하였다.
