According to Yeungnam University on 22nd, the team of Professor Yoon, Hyung-Don of Biotechnology Department has developed a bio sensor to see the change of \'copper\' (Cu) content with your eyes by adopting unnatural amino acid ‘L-DOPA’ in Green Fluorescent Protein using genetic-code engineering. The thesis related to this was issued on June online edition of a famous international journal called 《Angewante Chemie》with impact factor as high as 11.8 in the field of chemistry. Copper is one of microelements playing an important role inside animals and plants. Especially, the deficiency of this causes anemia, bone disorder or nerve disorder, etc in human body and the intake must be limited in case of Wilson\'s disease. It also becomes a quite important index indicating the level of soil contamination. Therefore, while measuring the amount of copper contained inside the body or soil is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or improvement on soil contamination, a simple and prompt measurement is made possible through this research. Especially, the new technology of Professor Yoon\'s team is noteworthy from the fact that it has increased the utilization of Green Fluorescent Protein even more. Green Fluorescent Protein is widely used in measuring the revelation degree of genes in living cells, protein-protein interaction, structural change of protein and in measuring the location of protein, etc. It became a candidate for Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 due to such importance. But the research of Professor Yoon\'s team is primarily the bio sensor on a specific heavy metal called \'copper\' and the opened possibility of developing and utilizing as a bio sensor reacting to heavy metals other than copper. Professor Yoon, Hyung-Don (35) has expressed his expectation by saying “not only the research has illustrated a new methodology in the development of a bio sensor that can measure more promptly-accurately just with small amount of heavy metal content which is the main culprit of various diseases in modern people and environmental pollution, but it will also develop as a new technology of selectively extracting-removing only specific heavy metals in case of adopting the unnatural amino acid combining with other metals from its combining ability” <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_043505830601477885 style=\"FLOAT: left\" onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_174_2012-01-17_13-44-05_1701.jpg\" target=_blank> Meanwhile, Yoon, Hyung-Don had completed bachelor\'s, master\'s and doctorate at the chemical engineering department of Seoul National University and currently working as a biotechnology professor of Yeungnam University since September, 2007 after going through post-doc at the biology department of MIT in the United States.

The six member \'Korean StarChef\' Team made up of members who completed the Korean cuisine human resources fostering program sponsored by the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corp. were chosen to represent Korea. They are talented chefs who were qualified to represent Korea through a contest held by the Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corp., who invited judges from WACS (World Association for Chefs Societies). WACS is the only organization that oversees world cooking contests, and thus, receiving medals from WACS is equivalent to being globally certified. The Korean StarChef team decided to go with the \'most Korean, yet global\' Korean menu. For this, using pine trees discovered while looking for a Korean motif, storytelling techniques were added in the cooking. Titled \"Song-hak-rak-da\" meaning \'enjoying a cup of tea under a pine tree\', they prepared Korean ingredients to make menus including bibim (mixed vegetable with spicy sauce) noodle salad, gujeolpan (platter with nine tastes, and ma (a mountain herb) salad. Their strategy was effective. The judges said that \'They were dishes where we could feel the taste and charm of Korea\', and thus won the bronze medal following Macao and China. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_06265078688250732 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_167_2011-12-13_13-48-40_1648.jpg\" target=_blank> Lee, Eun-sang stated, \"While preparing for the contest for the past six months, we worked together with the goal of globalizing Korean food, and so we are very happy to win the bronze medal.\" He added, \"While watching the western judging process for food prepared in Korean style, I think I learned a bit on what kind of strategy to take on in international cooking contests such as the one to be held in Moscow in September. I hope that I can participate in more international competitions to become Korea\'s best chef, while also training students.\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_0671139771113072 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_167_2011-12-13_13-49-09_1649.jpg\" target=_blank> Korean StarChef Team (fourth from left, Lee, Eun-sang) who won the bronze at the 2011 Hong Kong International Cooking Contest A spokesperson for the Agro-Fisheries Trade Corp. stated, \"This was an opportunity for Korean food coming one step closer to the tastes of the world, and is very significant in that it confirmed the possibilities of the globalization of Korean cooking.\"

Then go to Yeungnam University on the 23rd and 24th!\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_05095227597337031 style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left\" onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_166_2011-12-13_13-01-30_1646.jpg\" target=_blank> For two days on the 23rd and 24th, the Metasequoia (Dawn Redwood) Street next to the Central Library of Yeungnam University will change into a \'place of sharing\'. YU (president Lee, Hyo-soo) will invite social welfare institutes and hold the \'Volunteer Exposition\'. With the goal of fostering \'Y-type Human Resources\' equipped with character, creativity and progressiveness, the Volunteer Exposition that was held for the first time at a university campus in the nation in 2009 has already marked its third year. At this exposition that will begin at 10am on the 23rd, with the participation of social welfare institutes such as the Social Welfare Donation Drive, Gyeongsan City Social Volunteer Center, Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Drive, Multi-cultural Family Support Center, and Foreign Laborer Support Center, as well as volunteer organizations, and college volunteer clubs for a total of 34 organizations, social welfare employees will conduct various experience programs such as 1:1 volunteer consulting, basic training for volunteers, disability experience programs, disability park golf experience, senior life experience, viewing and demonstrating mobile bath vehicles, donor pledges, etc to 5pm. At this exposition, those who are new to volunteering can immediately receive a mileage account. Those who are already volunteering can also check their accrued mileage at the spot. Lee, Hyo-soo, explained, \"There are many people who want to volunteer but don\'t know how and where to start. This event is for such people,\" and added, \"I hope that every member of our society can start small by practicing sharing and experience the joy of volunteering.\" Fostering \'Y-type Human Resources\' such as making volunteer class a requisite and launching the \'glocal volunteer corps\' December 2010, first university to win presidential award for volunteer services Meanwhile, in order to systemize volunteer education, YU signed an agreement with the \'Korea Federation of Volunteer Centers(KFVC)\' and made volunteer classes a requisite for all freshmen from 2010. Students must complete a volunteer course in order to graduate. In order to advance volunteer education, at the time of registering for class, it is automatically registered in the Ministry of Public Administration and Safety\'s volunteer management system so that they can be provided with places and program that need volunteers offered by the KFVC. In addition, to students who receive volunteer consulting and training provided by KFVC, they are given volunteer insurance and incentives according to their performance. Also, volunteer activity report cards are issued so that YU can grant social volunteer credits based on this. Furthermore, the \'glocal volunteer corps\' launched last year for regular volunteer activities, allows the eight volunteer corps to utilize their majors, while also providing volunteer services. Due to such efforts, in December of last year, YU became the first university in the nation to receive the presidential award for volunteer services at the \'Day of Volunteers\' ceremony.

They are Lim, Hyo-young (22, female) and Lee, Jung-gu (26) who are both seniors in the Department of Computer Engineering. The main author Lim and co-author Lee received the best thesis award that they completed with the guidance of Professor Kwak, Jong-wook. Of the 478 theses submitted, only 10 are given the best thesis award, which they won despite competing with graduate school students. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_02145560762340154 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_165_2011-12-13_11-45-24_1645.jpg\" target=_blank> Students of the Department of Computer Engineering and their advisor, who won the best thesis award as undergraduates at the Korea Information Processing Society (from left to right, Professor Kwak Jong-wook, Lim Hyo-young, Lee Jeong-gu) The topic of the thesis was \'Configuration of positioning system using DSDV (Destionation Sequenced Distance Vector) routing algorithms in an Ad-hoc network environment\' Unlike existing network environments where control is centralized through a fixed infrastructure such as a wired network, station or AP (Access Point), ad-hoc networks are short-distance wireless networks where devices such as laptops or smart phones act as a mobile host to communicate with each other. It has high mobility and flexibility, and is independent from stationary networks making it very useful in disaster-hit areas or military zones. In particular due to the recent surge in distribution of smart phones, it is being of high attention commercially. Thus, after thinking of ways to utilize this in kindergarten children management systems, positioning system applications and hardware for smart phones were designed and a prototype was also made. Professor Kwak Jong-wook (36, Department of Computer Engineering), who was their advisor, stated, \"I am very happy for the two who worked with great passion going outside for testing as scheduled, despite the fact that it was a very cold day.\" He added, \"The prototype idea that they developed will be applied to amusement park lost-children prevention systems and tourist management systems for tour guides, and thus will be wroth commercializing.\" They said that because they worked together since they were freshmen in the Department of Computer Engineering club \"SSOS\" the more trials and more errors they made, the better their teamwork became. They stated, \"This event was a chance for me to assess just how passionate I was for my major and at what level I am. At the same time, it helped me get rid of the vague anxiety I had as I became a senior.\" They also stated smiling, \"We learned that work that one enjoys, one does diligently, and in result, the achievements are also good. We will work harder to contribute in \'IT Powerhouse Korea\'.\"
