<P>Although galanin (GAL) protects hippocampal neurons from ischemic damage, no study has examined ischemia-related changes in endogenous GAL in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. We investigated the chronological changes of GAL, well-known as the potassium channel opener, expression in the dentate gyrus at various times after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. A few GAL-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were found in the polymorphic layer of the sham-operated group. Three hours after ischemia-reperfusion, the pattern of GAL immunoreactivity was similar to that of the sham-operated group and the number of GAL-IR neurons and immunoreactivity were highest 12 h after ischemic insult. At this time, GAL-IR neurons in the polymorphic layer showed strong GAL immunoreactivity. Thereafter, GAL-IR neurons and immunoreactivity significantly decreased in the dentate hilar region. Four days after ischemic insult, GAL-IR neurons were not detectable. In addition, the results of a Western blot study showed a pattern of GAL expression similar to the immunohistochemical changes. GAL protein content also was highest 12 h after ischemia. In conclusion, the increased expression of endogenous GAL in the dentate gyrus after ischemia is related to response to the ischemic damage.</P>

온실가스로 잘 알려진 이산화탄소의 배출을 줄이기 위한 집중적인 연구가 지난 10년간 진행되었다. 대부분의 연구는 탄소 공급원으로서의 이산화탄소를 다양한 환원제를 써서 촉매반응에 활용하는 것에 집중되었다. 특히 부가가치가 높은 화합물을 얻기 위한 촉매 반응에 있어 이산화탄소의 산소원자를 떼어내기 위해 수소가 사용되어왔는데, 이 수소화 촉매 공정이 상업화되지 못하는 원인은 기존의 수증기 개질 등의 공정에서 제조되는 수소의 비용이 수소화 반응을 거친 최종 생산물의 가격보다 비싸기 때문이다. 따라서 이에 대한 대안으로서 ‘온화한 산화제’ 그리고 산소 전달 물질로서 이산화탄소의 활용이 주목되고 있다. 이산화탄소로부터 기인한 표면 산소은 지방족 탄화수소 뿐만 아니라 방향족 탄화수소의 산화반응에 활성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 접근은 이산화탄소 활용 기술의 새로운 분야를 열 것으로 기대된다. 주목할 것은 최근 이산화탄소가 산화제로 작용하여 에틸벤젠 탈 수소화 반응에 적용될 때 촉매 활성화 함께 스티렌 선택성이 향상되는 것으로 알려졌다. 또한 공정에 사용되는 수증기를 이산화탄소로 대체할 경우 에너지 절감 및 열역학적 평형 전환율이 상승되는 이점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 총설에서는 탄화수소의 산화적인 전환을 위한 이산화탄소 산화제 활용에 대한 시도들에 대해 살펴보겠다. For the mitigation of global warming due to carbon dioxide, catalytic conversions of CO_(2) with hydrogen has been extensively studied for the last decade. Most of studies in this field have been concentrated on the utilization of carbon dioxide as a carbon source through catalytic reduction processes with various kinds of reductants. However, catalytic hydrogenation has confronted with some limitations to be commercialized because of the use of expensive hydrogen as a reductant. As an altermative way, the utilization of CO_(2) as a soft oxidant and an oxygen transfer agent is attracting considerable attention. The oxygen species have been proven to be active in the oxidative conversions of aromatic hydrocarbons as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons. This approach may be expected to open new technology for CO_(2) utilization. In particular, it was found that carbon dioxide plays a role as an oxidant to increase catalytic activity and selectivity to styrene in dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. In addition, the use of CO_(2) with replacement of steam gave beneficial advantages such as energy saving and increase in equilibrium conversion. In this short review, we attempt to integrate recent efforts on CO_(2) utilization as a soft oxidant for oxidative conversions of hydrocarbons.

Recent earthquakes have shown that near-field earthquakes can produce spectral demands significantly larger than those considered in current design code. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has recently initiated a coordinated research program on safety significance of near-field earthquakes. The purpose of this program is to focus on the assessment of vulnerability of nuclear facility structures by using and adapting the best available engineering practices appropriate to evaluate the effects of near-field earthquakes. The objective of this paper is to evaluate of seismic responses of a shear building test specimen subjected to near-filed earthquakes. To achieve the objective, the seismic responses of the test specimen, evaluated by the Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) and Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis (NDA), are compared with those by the experimental tests.

This study was conducted to find an optimal combination rate of castor meal for the good qualitative compost and to estimate the humification grade by physico-chemical characterization and phyto-toxicity test during composting of the mixture with cow manure and castor meal. The material ratios of the compost which was mixed with cow manure(C), castor meal(C), and saw dust(S) were 5 : 1 : 4(CCS-1), 5 : 2.5 : 2.5(CCS-2) and 5 : 4 : 1(CCS-3) by volume to volume, and they were decomposed for 60 days. In the result, the changes of temperature in all treatments during composting radically increased more than 63.6℃ at the incipient stage, and gradually decreased around 42℃. At the 60 days after the treatment, pH was slowly increased from 7.0 to 8.0, and the C/N ratio was 12.3∼13.8 at the final composting stage. The low C/N ratio value was caused by the castor meal with high nitrogen level(T-N 5.7%). G.I.(germination index) showed in the range of 77.5 to 82.6 in all treatments. Among all treatments CCS-1 was appeared to be the best condition for composting. Therefore, the combination rate of castor meal which was used for compost humification improvement could be recommended 10% to manufacture the good qualitative cow manure compost.

In this paper, we studied on the segmentation of liver and spleen in CT image. The proposed algorithm used th information of gray value and location for these organs, and gray value of each organ is automatically estimated by using mesh filter. And also, th proposed algorithm in this paper used the position searching lines based on the information for each organ. Therefore, target organ is exactly segmented without separated organs loss. A trimming algorithm, which use a morphological filter, is provided to remove such noise in order for the organ to have a smooth contour. The small holes of the liver inside are filled up by erosion and the size of the organ reverts to the original state by dilation. The algorithms have been applied to the CT images of thirty persons, which results in 5% error rate of the volume of each organ

Biometric encryption refers to a process of secure key management. Biometric encryption does not directly provide a mechanism for the encryption/decryption of data, but rather provides a replacement to typical passcode key-protection protocols. Although the process of biometric encryption can be applied to any biometric image, the initial implementation was achieved using fingerprint images.

The wireless broadband (WiBro) system supports high quality internet data services with medium user's mobility. Towards this end, the system uses orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology and the same frequency in every cell. To provide high-speed seamless services, handover functionality is needed. In this paper a handover algorithm for the WiBro system is proposed. Two kinds of OFDM channels are considered in the algorithm : diversity channel and safety channel. The handover algorithm is composed of intra-cell handover and inter cell handover using safety channels. In particular, the safety channel is used for the mobile users when the received signal quality is degraded. Performance analysis results show that the quality of service can be significantly improved by reducing the interference effect among OFDM channels.

We evaluated the contrast enhancement pattern of nodular hepatocelluar carcinoma in liver cirrhosis patients by using three phase spiral CT. We anlayzed 34 nodular hepatocelluar carcinonmas in 11 patients with liver cirrhosis. Three phase spiral CT were obtained at 30(arterial phase), 60(portal phase), 180seconds(delayed phase) after initiation of contrast injection in the rate of 3ml/sec. Nodules are classified according to size, as group A(below 1cm, n=11), group B(1 - 3cm, n=15), group C(above 3cm, n=8). Enhancement pattern of the nodule was analyzed comparing to normal liver parenchyme in each phase., as total high, central high, peripheral high, iso, low, mixed density. We also analyzed the detection rate of the nodules. As a whole the nodules show high density in arterial phase(76%), high density in portal phase(47%) and low density in delayed phase(56%). In group A, the nodules show high(100%) in arterial phase, iso(54%) or high (46%) in portal phase, iso(82%) in delayed phase. In group B, the nodules show high(100%) in arterial phase, high(74%) in portal phase, mixed (60%) in delayed phase. In group C, the nodules show mixed density in all three phase. The most common enhancement pattern in each group was high(arterial phase) - iso(portal phase) - low (delayed phase) in group A(6/11, 54%), high - high - low in group B (5/15, 33%), mixed - mixed - mixed in group C(5/8, 63%). The detection rate of the nodule was highest in arterial phase, and the usefulness of arterial phase comparing to portal or delayed phase was higher in smaller size. In conclusion, hepatocelluar carcinomas show different enhancement pattern according to the size on three phase spiral CT, and this may be helpful in diagnosis of them.
