An atlas of high resolution (⋋/Δ⋋=45,000) profiles of interstellar atomic lines of K I (7665, 7699 Å), Na I (D 1, D2), Ca II (H, K), Ca I (4227 Å), molecular structures of CH, CH+, CN and the major diffuse interstellar bands at 5780 and 5797 Å based on ~300 echelle spectra of ~200 OB stars is presented. Relationships between the reddenings, distances and equivalent widths of NaI, CaII, KI, CH, CH+, CN and diffuse bands are discussed. The equivalent width of K I (7699 Å) as well as of CH4300 Å' / correlate very tightly with E(B- V) in contrast to the features of neutral sodium, ionized calcium and the molecular ion CH+. The equivalent widths of the Hand K lines of Call grow with distance at a rate ~250mÅ per 1 kpc. A similar relation for NaI is much less tight. The strengths of neutral potassium lines, molecular features and diffuse interstellar bands do not correlate practically with distance. These facts suggest that ionized calcium fills the interstellar space quite homogeneously while the other carriers mentioned above, especially K I, CH and these of diffuse bands occupy more and more compact volumes, also filled with dust grains. Apparently the carriers of narrow diffuse bands are spatially correlated with simple molecules and dust grains - all abundant in the so-called 'zeta' type clouds. The same environment seems to be hostile to the carriers of broad diffuse interstellar bands (DIEs) (like 5780 or 6284) and -to a certain extent - also to CaII, NaI and CH+.

We present a theoretical formalism by which the global and the local mass functions of dark matter substructures (dark subhalos) can be analytically estimated. The global subhalo mass function is defined to give the total number density of dark subhalos in the universe as a function of mass, while the local subhalo mass function counts only those sub halos included in one individual host halo. We develop our formalism by modifying the Press-Schechter theory to incorporate the followings: (i) the internal structure of dark halos; (ii) the correlations between the halos and the subhalos; (iii) the subhalo mass-loss effect driven by the tidal forces. We find that the resulting (cumulative) subhalo mass function is close to a power law with the slope of ${\~}$ 수식 이미지 -1, that the subhalos contribute approximately 10% of the total mass, and that the tidal stripping effect changes the subhalo mass function self-similarly, all consistent with recent numerical detections.

This paper summarizes the recent progress made by our group at Seoul National University on studies of the evolution and formation of distant galaxies. Various research projects are currently underway, which include: (i) the number density of distant early-type galaxies (z < 1); (ii) the optical-NIR color gradient of nearby early-type galaxies; (iii) J - K-selected Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in field (CDF-S) and the cluster environment; and (iv) the Lyman-break galaxies in the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS) field. These works will constrain the mass evolution and the star formation history of galaxies in different environments, and the results will serve as useful contraints on galaxy formation models.

In this work, the effects of atmospheric oxygen plasma treatment of carbon fibers on mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites was studied. The surface properties of the carbon fibers were determined by acid/base values, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. Also, the crack resistance properties of the composites were investigated in critical stress intensity factor (KIC), and critical strain energy release rate mode II (GIIC) measurements. As experimental results, FT-IR of the carbon fibers showed that the carboxyl/ester groups (C=O) at 1632 cm-1 and hydroxyl group (O-H) at 3450 cm-1 were observed for the plasma treated carbon fibers, and the treated carbon fibers had the higher O-H peak intensity than that of the untreated ones. The XPS results also indicated that the O1S/C1S ratio of the carbon fiber surfaces treated by the oxygen plasma led to development of oxygen-containing functional groups. The mechanical interfacial properties of the composites, including KIC (critical stress intensity factor) and GIIC (critical strain energy release rate mode II), were also improved for the oxygen plasma-treated carbon fibersreinforced composites. These results could be explained that the oxygen plasma treatment played an important role to increase interfacial adhesions between carbon fibers and epoxy matrix resins in our composite system.

본 연구는 관상동맥 질환(coronary artery disease : CAD) 환자의 심장 부교감신경 활성화가 감소하고, 만성 심부전(chronic heart failure : CHF) 환자의 심박동변이도(heart rate variability : HRV)에서 정상적 RR 간격의 분산(SDNN : standard deviation of all normal RR intervals)과 저주파수 대역의 전력스펙트럼(low-frequency power : LF),그리고 복잡성이 감소하며, CAD환자의 우측으로 누운 자세에서 HRV의 규격화된 고주파수대역의 전력스펙트럼(normalized high-frequency power : nHF)가 3가지 누운 자세 중에서 가장 높다는 사전 정보에 근거하였다. 세 가지 누운 자세에 대한 HRV의 비선형 특징은 알려진 바가 없으므로, 본 연구에서는 관상동맥질환 환자들을 대상으로 누운 자세에서 HRV의 선형과 비선형특성을 조사하였다. 이 목적을 위하여, 관상동맥질환군 29명과 통제군 23명을 대상으로 세 가지 누운 자세에서 심전도의 Lead II 채널을 측정한 뒤, 심전도로부터 심박동변이도의 선형특성(시간영역과 주파수영역)과 비선형특성을 분석하였다. 똑바로 누운 자세 또는 좌측으로 누운 자세에서 심박동변이도의 nHF가 더 작을수록, 이 자세들로부터 우측으로 누운 자세로 전환할 때 nHF가 더욱 증가하였다. 중증의 관상동맥질환 환자의 세 가지 누운 자세 중에서, 우측으로 누운 자세는 심장부교감신경계의 활성도를 가장 높게, 심장교감신경계의 활성도는 가장 낮게, 그리고 생체시스템의 복잡성은 가장 높게 유도함을 확인하였다.

The FIMS (Far-ultraviolet IMaging Spectrograph; also known as SPEAR, Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation) is the primary payload of the STSAT-1, the first Korean science satellite, which was launched in September, 2003. The FIMS performs spectral imaging of diffuse far-ultraviolet emission with the unprecedented wide field of view and the relatively good spectral resolution. We present far-ultraviolet spectral observations of highly ionized interstellar medium including supernova remnants, superbubbles, soft X-ray shadows, and the molecular hydrogen fluorescent emission lines. The FIMS has detected He II, C III, 0 III, O IV, Si IV, O VI, and H2 fluorescent emission lines. The emission lines arise in shocked or thermally heated and in photo-ionized gases. We present an overview of the FIMS instrument and its initial observational results.

Cloned calves derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) have been frequently lost by sudden death at 1 to 3 month following healthy birth. To address whether placental anomalies are responsible for the sudden death of cloned calves, we compared protein patterns of 2 placentae derived from SCNT of Korean Native calves died suddenly at two months after birth and those of 2 normal placentae obtained from AI fetuses. Placental proteins were separated using 2-Dimensional gel electrophoresis. Approximately 800 spots were detected in placental 2-D gel stained with coomassie-blue. Then, image analysis of Malanie III (Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics) was performed to detect variations in protein spots between normal and SCNT placentae. In the comparison of normal and SCNT samples, 8 spots were identified to be up-regulated proteins and 24 spots to be down-regulated proteins in SCNT placentae, among which proteins were high mobility group protein HMG1, apolipoprotein A-1 precursor, bactenecin 1, tropomyosin beta chain, H+-transporting ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II, peroxiredoxin 2, tyrosine-rich acidic matrix protein, serum albumin precursor and cathepsin D. These results suggested that the sudden death of cloned calves might be related to abnormal protein expression in placenta.

In order to improve the gill nets for croaker, Miichthys miiuy which is proper to the fishermen's income ans fisheries resource management, we had studied to the net height of present gill nets (mesh size 160mm, 50 mesh in depth), experimental gill nets-I(mesh size 150mm, 68 mesh in depth) and experimental gill nets-II(mesh size 142mm, 75 mesh in depth) in wter using the gill nets design ans analysis simulation system, and then investigated and analyzed the catch efficiency of each gill nets through the field fishing experiments. The net height of emperimental gill nets-I and experimental gill nets-II in water were estimated respectively about 1.5 times and 1.3 times higher than present gill nets which the net height is about 3.5m as the results of simulation considering the current of fishing fields. Total number of croakers which were caught by the persent gill nets was 62(body length 300~1,200mm), total catch weight was 398.7kg (mean 0.6kg/sheet). Total number of croakers which were caught by the experimental gill nets- I was 68(body length 600~1,100mm), total catch weight was 391.6kg (mean 1.2kg/sheet). Total number of croakers which were caught by the experimental gill nets-II was 28(body length 400~900mm), total catch weight was 99.2kg (mean 0.3kg/sheet).

The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of rehabilitation programs on functional performance of the lower extremities and whether additional therapeutic exercise with routine rehabilitative therapy improves functional performance more than just routine rehabilitative therapy by it self for inpatients who have suffered a stroke with below moderate severity within 3 to 6 months after the onset of the stroke. Fifty-eight subjects were divided into two groups. Group I was given routine rehabilitative therapy and group II was given additional therapeutic exercise along with the routine rehabilitative therapy. Each group received 6 weeks of rehabilitation. The timed get-up and go test (TUG), the Fugl-Meyer score (FMS), functional independence measure (FIM), functional reach (FR), gait velocity (GV), and the strength of knee extensor and flexor were selected to measure effect of rehabilitation programs. The main results were measured and analysed at baseline, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks after the start of the rehabilitation programs. The results revealed that all of functional performance of the lower extremities in 3 weeks after the start of the rehabilitation programs were significantly improved compared with before the rehabilitation programs in both groups. In 6 weeks, TUG, FIM, FR, GV, and the strength of knee extensor in group I, TUG, FMS, FIM, FR, GV, and the strength of knee extensor and flexor in group II were significantly improved compared with the results after 3 weeks. At 3 weeks after rehabilitation programs, group II made significantly greater gains in TUG, FR, GV, and the strength of the knee flexor compared to the group I. At 6 weeks, group II made significantly greater gains in TUG, FR, GV, and the strength of the knee extensor and flexor compared to the group I. In conclusion, rehabilitation programs for stroke patients within 3 to 6 months after stroke onset significantly contributed to improve functional performance of the lower extremities. It is desirable for improvement of functional performance of the lower extremities to perform additional exercise with routine rehabilitative therapy.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is often attributed to malalignment and maltracking of patella within the patellofemoral joint. Most exercise for PFPS has focused on selectively strengthening the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO). This study was designed to identify the effect of medial, lateral wedge and difference of Quadriceps angle (Q-angle) on vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis muscle (VL) activity ratios. The subjects were twenty young adult males who had not experienced any knee injury. They were asked to perform isometric contraction exercises in three postures using medial and lateral wedge. The EMG activity of the VL and VMO were recorded in three postures by surface electrodes and normalized by %MVC values derived from seated, isometric knee extensions. The normalized EMG activity levels (%MVC) of the VL and VMO for the three postures of the lower extremities were compared using 2-way repeated measures ANOVA with 1 between-subject factor (group), and 1 within-subject factor (wedge). Results of repeated measures of ANOVA's revealed that the medial wedge isometric contraction exercise produced significantly greater EMG activity of VMO/VL ratios in Group I (Q-angle or less) (p<.05). But, the medial wedge isometric contraction exercise was no significant difference of VMO/VL ratios in Group II (Q-angle or more) (p>.05). These results have important implications for selective VMO muscle strengthening exercises in PFPS patients.

제주도 청수공에서 산출된 포자·화분화석군은 낙엽활엽수와 초본류가 주종을 이루고 있으며 풍부하게 산출되는 종류로는 소나무과, 오리나무속, 밤나무속/구실잣밤나무속, 느릅나무속/느티나무속, 명아주과 및 국화과 등이다. 전체적인 식생 조성에 근거하여 2개의 화분 분대를 설정하였다. 하부의 Zone I에서는 오리나무속, 명아주과 등이 우세하며 전반적으로 초본류가 풍부하게 나타난다. 상부의 Zone II에서는 전나무속, 낙우송과-측백과-주목과, 느릅나무속/느티나무속, 벼과 등이 풍부하게 나타나며, 낙엽활엽수가 상대적으로 우세하게 산출된다. 청수공의 포자·화분화석군은 그 조성에 있어 중국의 동지나해 대륙붕에서 설정된 Alnipollenites(Alnus)-Chenopodipollis(Chenopodiaceae)-Compositae 군집대와 잘 대비되며 그 지질시대는 Pleistocene으로 해석된다. 오늘날 식생분포와의 비교 및 우세종의 생태학적 분석을 통하여 청수공 코아는 한랭한 온대 기후 하에서 형성되었으며 당시의 제주도에는 오늘날의 한라산과 같은 지형적 기복은 아직 발달하지 않았던 것으로 보인다.

Meckel’s cartilage is one of the earliest structure to appear in a mandible derived from the first branchial arch and serves as the primordium for the formation of mandible, malleus, incus, and sphenomandibular ligament. However, its direct role and the mechanism in mandibular development are not well elucidated. To address this issue, we observed morphological and histological changes and gene expression patterns in the Meckel's cartilage of a developng mouse, from E13.5 to E18.5 embryos, using skeletal preparation samples and routinely prepared slide sections for light rnicro scopic observation in various sectional planes. The following methods were performed: H&E staining for general histo logical observation, Von Kossa staining for detection of rnineralization, TRAP actiγity staining for localization of osteoclastic cells, immunohistochernistry for MMP- 1 and - 9 for evaluation of enzymatic activity of osteoclastic cells, and in situ hybridization for detection of collagen type 1. II, and X mRNA expression, respectively. At E13.5 Meckel's cartilage appeared as a V- shaped rod fused at the rnidline and thin rnineralized mandibular buccal plate was formed lateral to, and at some distance from, Meckel's cartilage in an intramembranous ossification mode With the progression of tooth development, the Meckel’s in cartilage adjacent incisors revealed hypertrophic chondrocyte differentiation with rnineralization of the chondroid matrix The Meckel’s cartilage was replaced with bone by - osteoclasts, showing strong immunoreactivity for MMP-1 and - 9 from E16.5. With time, this bony replacement of Meckel’s cartilage in an endochondral ossification mode was extended up to the rnid- portion of the molar sockets till E18 5 The bony replacement of rnineralized hypertrophic chondrocyte zone expressing X collagen mRNA contributed to the formation of thick mandibular lingual plate. These findings suggest that mandibular formation and development is closely related with not only Meckel's cartilage, but also with the developing tooth, and that certain influence from the developing tooth may play a role in deterrnining the fate of Meckel’s cartilage during mandibular development.
