Abstract: A method is provided that controls the color of a feeling-based image reflecting a user's preference via an interactive genetic algorithm. The method is performed in such a manner that a range of candidate colors is defined by type of feelings as templates, one from among the candidate templates, as the final template, is selected by learning a user's color preference via an interactive genetic algorithm, and then the color of an image is controlled based on the final template by recognizing a user's feeling.

Abstract: Provided is a holder device for analyzing characteristics of a dosimeter. In the holder device, the dosimeter is located in a desired direction on a radiation path along which radiation is irradiated from a radiation emitter, and a radiation absorbance characteristic is recognized according to a radiation dose absorbed by the dosimeter. The holder device includes: a dosimeter holder fixedly supporting the dosimeter; a body having a partial spherical portion with a specific curvature, and having a plurality of mounting holes containing the dosimeter holder; and a supporter supporting the body so that the dosimeter is located on the radiation path. Accordingly, in the holder device for analyzing characteristics of a dosimeter, one or more dosimeters can be disposed at a desired angle and position with respect to a radiation emitter, characteristics of the dosimeter can be accurately analyzed, and thus radiation treatment and treatment schedule can be effectively performed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for biologically producing heme-iron through microorganism cultivation, and to an iron supplementing composition containing the heme-iron produced by the same. The present invention provides a method for biologically producing heme-iron through microorganism cultivation, making it possible to economically produce heme-iron or heme-iron preparations which can be safely used as an iron supplement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new use of capsiate or dihydrocapsiate, more particularly to a composition for preventing and treating inflammatory disease, angiogenesis-related disease and autoimmune disease or for suppressing immunity comprising capsiate, dihydrocapsiate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an effective ingredient. The composition and immunosuppressant of the present invention may be used for preventing and treating inflammatory disease, angiogenesis-related disease and autoimmune disease, and for suppressing immunity.

Abstract: A calibration phantom for quality assurance of an image-based radiotherapy apparatus The calibration phantom includes a body comprising a cylindrical acryl member having a predetermined diameter, the body having a center hole at a center axis thereof and a plurality of through-holes in outer circumferential portions thereof at a predetermined interval from the center hole; round stick-type density bars inserted into corresponding through-holes of the body and made of materials each with different densities; an acrylic cover detachably coupled with both ends of the body and having the same diameter as the body; and a plurality of bolts closely fastening the body with the cover by extending through the cover and the body and coupling with the nuts and each made of different materials. The cross-sectional shapes of the density bars and bolts appear on the image scanned by the CT apparatus and the radiotherapy apparatus.

Abstract: Provided is a phantom device having an internal organ simulating phantom. The phantom device comprises: a phantom receiving radiation emitted from a radiation emitting unit and comprising therein a simulant that simulates an internal organ; a lifting unit installed under the phantom to support the phantom and moving the phantom relative to the radiation emitting unit, the lifting unit comprising: a worm shaft axially rotated by an external torque and having a worm formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, a cylindrical worm wheel having gear grooves formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof to engage with the worm and a female screw formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof, and rotated by the axial rotation of the worm shaft; and a driven screw engaging with the female screw of the worm wheel, and moved up and down by the rotation of the worm wheel to move up and down the phantom; and a horizontal moving unit interlocking with the lifting unit and horizontally moving the phantom.

Abstract: There are provided a composition and kit for detecting early apoptosis in cryopreserved umbilical cord blood stem cells, and a method therefor. According to the present invention, when the umbilical cord blood stem cells are cryopreserved and later used for cell therapy, the quality of umbilical cord blood is assessed and early apoptosis in the umbilical cord blood stem cells is detected. The obtained resulting data, which can be used as a quality reference for umbilical cord blood required for transplantation, reflect the engraftment levels after in vivo transplantation of the stem cells, and thus allow prediction of the engraftment levels from the results.

Abstract: A phantom for evaluating a magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) performance is provided. Specifically, a phantom for evaluating an MRS performance capable of quantitatively evaluating a resolution of a spectrum obtained when a chemical shift imaging MRS measurement process is performed is provided. The phantom evaluates MRS performance using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus, and includes: an external container having an opened upper end; internal containers which are disposed in the external container and constructed so as to include metabolites; and an external container cover for covering the upper end of the external container.

Abstract: A nucleotide sequence encoding a fusion protein of PTD and CEA. The nucleotide sequence includes a CEA-encoding nucleotide sequence into which a PTD-encoding nucleotide sequence is inserted.
