슈만 「카니발 op. 9」의 표제에 내재된 다중적 의미와 상징성의 고찰: 장 파울의 문학적 특징과의 연관성을 바탕으로 (2012)

Program music became popular as the product of music and literature in the 19th century, which was the era of integrated art. It gained recognition as the genre which expressed literary spirit of Romanticism most effectively. Robert Schumann (1810-56) is the representative composer of Romanticism who combined his literary talent with music, leading to the creation of program music. Among his early piano cycles, Carnaval op. 9 is the piece which fully demonstrates the connection with literature and this is evident in the program of the work. Consisting of 21 sections, the piece has each movement with the program which describes scenes of carnivals Schumann has named. However, all programs do not match with the title ``carnaval`` content-wise and representative programs include ``Sphinx``, ``Butterfly`` and ``Dancing Letters.`` Also, in the arrangement of programs shows ambiguity, leaving the listeners sensing unnatural quality in the piece. This study began with the question that the work is not simply a program music that describes carnivals. It was designed to associate the ambiguity of the work with German writer, Johann Paul Friedrich Richter (1763-1825). The purpose of this study is to examine composer`s real intention and purpose in the work. Specific goals include exploring the work in depth from various angles including the interpretation of various programs including ``Sphinx``, the impact of Johann Paul`s literary works, multilayered meaning and symbolism of programs and arrangements. Johann Paul is a writer who has influenced Schumann`s music the most. In this study, his literary characteristics were examined from six aspects such as contrasting dual figure structure, quotation, short story, suggestion and mystery, satire and humor and breakaway. The ambiguity in the program of Carnaval op. 9 is newly examined in connection with literary characteristics of Johann Paul. It was founded that ``Sphinx``, ``Butterfly`` and ``Dancing Letters`` are the intended devices placed by Schumann to suggest the most important theme of the piece. Moreover, the hidden intention behind character programs and the arrangement ofprograms is multilayered and implied in a symbolic manner. In short, Carnaval op. 9 resembles the air of carnivals with the description of clowns in masks and dance balls. However in reality, it is a ``literary-musical`` work with the critique and satire of the societyat the time and the composer`s own story behind elaborate images such as ``masks`` and ``clowns.``
Artificial Muscle for Small Robots and Other Micromechanical Devices (2002)

This paper discusses a fundamental research project aimed at developing. The project was motivated by the need for better microactuator technology that can be used for micro-robots and other micro applications. A range of artificial muscle technologies was investigated, and a class of electroactive polymers based on the electric field-activated deformation of dielectric elastomers was selected as the most promising approach for an in-depth-study. The dielectric elastomer polymers are sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. Actuation is accomplished by the application of a voltage difference between the two electrodes, which squeezes and stretches the film. A variety of polymer and electrode materials have been tested. Excellent actuator performance has been achieved by this approach, with actuated strains over 300%, actuation pressures of 1-8 MPa, response times of less than 0.5 ms, and theoretical efficiencies of over 80%. Corresponding specific energy densities exceeded 3 J/g, and are believed to be the highest ever observed for a field-actuated material, based on the available literature.
A 2.7GHz 3.9mW Mesh-BJT LC-VCO with &#x2212;204dBc/Hz FOM in 65nm CMOS (2012)

Standards with narrow channel spacing have stringent requirements for in-band phase noise of oscillator, which is dominated by up-converted flicker noise. In this paper, we propose a LC-tank voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that utilizes novel Mesh-BJT structure to suppress in-band phase-noise while maintaining low power consumption. The proposed 2.7GHz LC-VCO consumes 3.9mW from a 1.5V supply and the figures of merit (FOM) at 10KHz and 100KHz offsets are -222dBc/Hz and -204dBc/Hz in 65nm CMOS. The Mesh-BJT is compatible with standard CMOS and no extra masks are required. To our best knowledge, this is the best FOM ever reported at low offsets (<;100KHz) for VCO in standard CMOS.

Abstract A facile synthesis of methyl carbamates from primary amines and dimethyl carbonate has been achieved at room temperature using high pressure. High-pressure synthesis of methyl carbamates described herein provides access to the target molecules in an efficient and environmentally friendly way without solvent or catalyst. Better conversion and selectivity than previously published procedures were obtained.
Chemical Forms of Uranium in Artificial Seawater (1982)

Abstract The chemical forms of uranium in an artificial seawater are determined by use of the ion-association model. The data on the stoichiometric association constants of the ion pairs are used in calculation to evaluate the distribution of the major ionic species. Also, the more accurate values of the thermodynamic stability constants are used for the uranyl complexes. The calculation indicates that a dominant species of uranium is UO2(CO3)4- 3in artificial seawater at 25°C.
High Prevalence and Possible de Novo Formation of BRAF Mutation in Metastasized Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Lymph Nodes (2005)

The high prevalence of BRAF mutation in lymph node-metastasized PTC tissues from BRAF mutation-positive primary tumors and the possible de novo formation of BRAF mutation in lymph node-metastasized PTC were consistent with a role of BRAF mutation in facilitating the metastasis and progression of PTC in lymph nodes.
Aflibercept for exudative AMD with persistent fluid on ranibizumab and/or bevacizumab (2013)

A significant proportion of exudative AMD cases with persistent fluid on OCT despite regular ranibizumab 0.5 mg and/or bevacizumab 1.25 mg treatment respond anatomically to aflibercept 2.0 mg. Visual acuity did not improve. Aflibercept may be beneficial anatomically in cases of exudative AMD treated with persistent fluid on ranibizumab and/or bevacizumab.

Probability of static fatigue failure in optical fibers (1976)

An expression for the probability of static fatigue failure in glass is developed based upon a Weibull-type cumulative strength distribution and a fracture mechanics slow crack growth law. The validity of the analytical model is tested with tensile strength and static fatigue data for fused silica optical fibers. Good agreement between the model and experimental results is demonstrated. Examples for using this model as a predictive tool are presented
Synthesis and Characterization of Neutral<i>cis</i>-Hexacoordinate Bis(β-diketonate) Silicon(IV) Complexes (2004)

Three new neutral cis-hexacoordinate bis(beta-diketonato) silicon(IV) complexes, (thd)2SiX2, where X = Me (1), tBuO (2), and tAmO (3), and thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato, were synthesized in high yield. Single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that 1 was monomeric with cis-hexacoordinate octahedral geometry on the silicon and oxygen atoms. Crystal data: empirical formula C24H46O4Si, crystal system monoclinic; space group P2(1)/n; unit cell dimensions a = 10.4195(5) A, b = 19.7297(10) A, c = 13.6496(7) A; beta = 102.6590(10) degrees; Z = 4. Variable temperature NMR confirmed (thd)2SiX2 maintained cis-geometry in solution by observing two distinct methyl proton resonances (of thd) at room temperature or low temperatures. These compounds show potential for use as low temperature silicon oxide CVD precursors for transition metal silicate high kappa gate dielectrics.
Correction for Collimator-Detector Response in SPECT Using Point Spread Function Template (2012)

Compensating for the collimator-detector response (CDR) in SPECT is important for accurate quantification. The CDR consists of both a geometric response and a septal penetration and collimator scatter response. The geometric response can be modeled analytically and is often used for modeling the whole CDR if the geometric response dominates. However, for radionuclides that emit medium or high-energy photons such as I-131, the septal penetration and collimator scatter response is significant and its modeling in the CDR correction is important for accurate quantification. There are two main methods for modeling the depth-dependent CDR so as to include both the geometric response and the septal penetration and collimator scatter response. One is to fit a Gaussian plus exponential function that is rotationally invariant to the measured point source response at several source-detector distances. However, a rotationally-invariant exponential function cannot represent the star-shaped septal penetration tails in detail. Another is to perform Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations to generate the depth-dependent point spread functions (PSFs) for all necessary distances. However, MC simulations, which require careful modeling of the SPECT detector components, can be challenging and accurate results may not be available for all of the different SPECT scanners in clinics. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to CDR modeling. We use a Gaussian function plus a 2-D B-spline PSF template and fit the model to measurements of an I-131 point source at several distances. The proposed PSF-template-based approach is nearly non-parametric, captures the characteristics of the septal penetration tails, and minimizes the difference between the fitted and measured CDR at the distances of interest. The new model is applied to I-131 SPECT reconstructions of experimental phantom measurements, a patient study, and a MC patient simulation study employing the XCAT phantom. The proposed model yields up to a 16.5 and 10.8% higher recovery coefficient compared to the results with the conventional Gaussian model and the Gaussian plus exponential model, respectively.
Enantiomer Separation by HPLC on Reversed Phase Silica Gel Coated with Copper (II) Complexes of (R,R)-Tartaric Acid Mono-Amide Derivatives (1993)

Abstract Two chiral ligand exchange stationary phases for HPLC, (R,R)-tartaric acid mono-(R)-1-(α-naphthyl)ethylamide [I] and (R,R) -tartaric acid mono-n-laurylamide [11], were prepared. The direct separation of a number of amino acid, hydroxy acid and amino alcohol enan-tiomers was achieved using ODS silica gel coated with [I] and [11], and water or hydro-organic eluents containing copper(ll) ion as a mobile phase. The enantioselectivity of the phase [I] was superior than that of the phase [11]. The phase [I] is very promisir.-as the chiral coating agent on reversed phase materials for the direct separation of a variety of enantiomers by ligand exchange HPLC.

Isolation of Rat GnRH Receptor cDNA having Different 5'-Noncoding Sequence (1993)

A rat GnRH receptor cDNA was cloned with 1317 base pairs (bp) from a pituitary cDNA library. This clone had a full amino acid coding region, with 172 and 161 bp noncoding sequences in 5'- and 3'-flanking regions of the coding region, respectively. The nucleotide sequence of amino acid coding region was completely identical to that of previous report by Kaiser et al. (1992), but 5'-noncoding region was much longer than the previously reported one and its sequence was different. This 5'-noncoding region could be divided into two subregions on the basis of similarity between the two sequences. The 32 bp sequence flanking the coding region was completely identical to the previous report, but remaining 5'-end sequence almost totally lacked similarity. In the 3'-flanking region of coding region, 167 bp-long sequence was also newly identified. The new species of GnRH receptor mRNA found in the present study suggests that the presence of various mechanisms of GnRH receptor expression in the rat pituitary.
On the compression and rendering of event-triggered force transients in networked virtual environments (2009)

When haptically interacting with virtual rigid bodies, the rendering and display of realistic haptic force-feedback is a challenging task. Conventionally rendered closed-loop proportional feedback forces according to Hooke's law or potential fields impart a feeling of soft contacts and hence are not sufficient to convey the material contact properties of a rigid object. Improvement of haptic contact rendering by incorporating high-frequency transients immediately after contact leads to high packet rates in networked virtual environments (VEs). In this work, we combine event-triggered contact force transients with perceptual coding of haptic signals to achieve a two-fold objective. A significant reduction in data and packet-rates on the network is obtained while improving the realism of interaction with rigid objects, verified by our psychophysical experiments. Furthermore, we describe our observation that the introduction of contact transients serves to mask the artifacts of the perceptual coding scheme to some extent. This allows us to push the data reduction performance beyond what is normally achievable by the haptic compression scheme alone.
Interaction Style Recognition Based on Multi-Layer Multi-View Profile Representation (2016)

Interaction Style (IS) refers to patterns of interaction containing highly contextual and innate information. Awareness of our IS can help us discover interpersonal conflicts and guide us how to interact with others. Recently, automatic IS recognition is becoming increasingly important in the design of a dialogue system for harmonious interaction. With the goal to select appropriate responses, four IS types proposed by Berens are selected as the basis for our study. In this study, multiple views (multi-views) of the utterances during interaction, including emotions and dialogue topics, are recognized first. Inspired by the emotion profile theory, the IS profiles are then extracted using the multi-view features to better characterize the IS of the interactional utterances. Similar to the multilayer architectures in deep neural networks, a multi-layer multi-view IS profile representation method, structured layer by layer through embedding the multi-views, is proposed to better interpret intermediate representations in the feature space of the interactional utterances based on a probabilistic fusion model. The IS is finally recognized by using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the obtained IS profiles. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieved an encouraging IS recognition accuracy and outperformed the previous method.
Low breast milk TGF‐β2 is induced by <i>Lactobacillus reuteri</i> supplementation and associates with reduced risk of sensitization during infancy (2008)

The immunological composition of breast milk differs between mothers. The reasons for these differences and the consequences for the breast-fed infants are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri supplementation on the immunological composition of breast milk in relation to sensitization and eczema in the babies. Total IgA, secretory IgA (SIgA), TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2, IL-10, TNF, soluble CD14 (sCD14), and Na/K ratios were analyzed in colostrum and mature milk obtained from women treated with L. reuteri (n = 54) or placebo (n = 55) from gestational week 36 until delivery. Bacteriological analyses of L. reuteri were performed in faecal samples of the mothers. The infants were followed prospectively for 2 yr regarding development of eczema and sensitization as defined by a positive skin prick test and/or circulating allergen-specific IgE antibodies at 6, 12, and 24 months of age. Supplementation of L. reuteri during pregnancy was associated with low levels of TGF-beta2 and slightly increased levels of IL-10 in colostrum. For TGF-beta2, this association was most pronounced in mothers with detectable L. reuteri in faeces. Infants receiving breast milk with low levels of TGF-beta2 were less likely to become sensitized during their first 2 yr of life. A similar trend was observed for development of IgE-associated eczema. The levels of total IgA, SIgA, TGF-beta1, TNF, sCD14, and Na/K ratios in breast milk were not affected by the intake of L. reuteri. None of these parameters correlated with sensitization or development of eczema in the infant, except for high Na/K ratios that associated with increased risk of sensitization. Supplementation with L. reuteri during late pregnancy reduces breast milk levels of TGF-beta2, and low levels of this cytokine are associated with less sensitization and possibly less IgE-associated eczema in breast-fed infants.
Lung surfactant proteins A and D can inhibit specific IgE binding to the allergens of <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> and block allergen-induced histamine release from human basophils (1997)

Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen which, in the immunocompetent host, causes allergic disorders such as allergic rhinitis, allergic sinusitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and allergic bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). In the present study, the interaction of 3-week culture filtrate (3wcf) allergens and various purified glycosylated and non-glycosylated allergens of A. fumigatus with lung surfactant proteins, SP-A and SP-D, was investigated. Purified SP-A and SP-D, isolated from human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, bound to the 3wcf allergens and purified allergens, gp55 and gp45, in a carbohydrate-specific and calcium-dependent manner. Both SP-A and SP-D did not bind to deglycosylated allergens, suggesting that the ability of SP-A and SP-D to bind certain allergens is mediated through their carbohydrate recognition domains, interacting with the carbohydrate residues on the allergen. Both SP-A and SP-D could inhibit the ability of allergen-specific IgE from Aspergillosis patients to bind these allergens, suggesting that SP-A and SP-D may be involved in the modulation of allergic sensitization and/or development of allergic reactions. The view that SP-A and SP-D play a protective role against airborne allergens is further supported by the demonstration of their ability to inhibit A. fumigatus allergen-induced histamine release from allergic patients' basophils.
Development of Monoclonal Immunoassays for the Determination of Triazole Fungicides in Fruit Juices (2008)

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) based on monoclonal antibodies for the detection of triazole fungicides have been developed. With this aim, hapten-protein conjugates, containing the common triazole and chlorinated aromatic moieties, were prepared. From mice immunized with these conjugates, several monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with the ability to sensitively bind several triazoles with different specificity were obtained. Both analyte- and class-specific ELISAs were developed. The hexaconazole-specific immunoassay can determine this fungicide with a limit of detection of 0.3 mug/L in standard buffer. The so-called triazole-specific immunoassay allowed for the detection of tetraconazole, penconazole, cyproconazole, and myclobutanil, with limits of detection in the 0.1-0.7 mug/L range. These immunoassays were applied to the determination of triazoles in spiked fruit juices. Samples were adequately diluted to minimize the matrix effects. Coefficients of variation were below 30%, and recoveries ranged from 62 to 135%. Therefore, the developed immunoassays can determine triazole fungicides in fruit juices down to the maximum residue limits currently legislated, without any sample treatment other than dilution.
An integrated analysis and database system for full-length cDNA. (2000)

Annotation and database system of full-length cDNA sequences was developed. As the components of the system, ORF annotation system, functional annotation system based on database search results, mapping annotation system, and integrated retrieval and display system were developed. In the ORF annotation system integrated analyses using conventional tools are performed and useful retrieval interface using motif list are introduced. In the functional annotation system based on database search results, a new method that characterizes a given unknown cDNA was developed by using a profile of similarity level over words appearing in sequence database entries. In the mapping annotation system, we linked by similarity searches full-length cDNA sequences with database DNA sequences that are already mapped on chromosomes. By using these links, full-length cDNAs can be retrieved by the retrieval condition of physical mapping information. Genetic disease information mapped on the physical mapping site can also be displayed by this system. Furthermore, we constructed an integrated database system for these analyzed data, and thus enabled annotation and selection of full-length cDNAs from points of both gene function and mapping information.
