Arabidopsis NDPK2 (AtNDPK2) is a key singaling component that regulate cellular redox state and known to enhance multiple stress tolerance when over-expressed in Arabidopsis plant (Moon et al. 2003). In order to develop transgenic potato plants with enhanced tolerance to multiple stresses, we placed an AtNDPK2 cDNA under the control of a stress-inducible SWPA2 promoter or enhanced CaMV 35S promoter. Transgenic potato plants (cv. Superior and Atlantic) were generated using an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system and selected on MS medium containing 100 mg/L kanamycin. Genomic Southern blot analysis confirmed the incorporation of AtNDPK2 cDNA into the potato genome. When potato leaf discs were treated with methyl viologen (MV) at 10 $\mu$M, transgenic plants showed higher tolerance to MV than non-transgenic or vector-transformed plants. The NDPK2 transgenic potato plants will be further used for analysis of stress-tolerance to multiple environmental stresses.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the lower extremity kinematics and muscle activities of adductor longus(AL), gluteus medius(GME), gluteus maximus(GMA), biceps femoris(BF), rectus femoris(RF), gastrocnemius(GA), and tibialis anterior(TA) using three dimensional and Noraxon 8 channels EMG system during turn 0, 60, 90 and 120 degrees in patients with Parkinson's disease. Seven parkinson's patients and five healthy subjects were participated in the study. Participants with Parkinson's disease demonstrated significant differences in reduction of stride length and stride width. Also, they showed ill difference in muscle activities. The strength and balance of the lower extremity muscles may help to improve cutting movement and to prevent falling in parkinson's patients.

This paper proposes a vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET) routing algorithm to reduce the probability of routing path discontinuity in urban intersections. In urban intersections, the vehicles may frequently change their moving directions. It can cause the disconnection of routing path and the increase of a packet transmission delay. In order to resolve this problem, the proposed routing algorithm exploits the information of moving directions in urban intersections. In this way, the proposed algorithm can reduce the probability of the local maximum which causes the increase of the number of routing hops and packet transmission delay. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the local maximum probability by 10% and increase the successful packet transmission ratio by 5% compared to the conventional VANET routing algorithms.

고객이 서비스상의 실패에 대해 때로는 강한 부정적 반응을 보이기에 서비스를 제공하는 조직의 서비스회복능력은 고객만족을 달성하기 위해 강력하고 효율적으로 운영되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 온라인상의 서비스인 ISP업체(10개의 회사)를 대상으로 온라인 서비스 상에서 고객이 서비스상의 불만을 경험할 때 기업이 고객의 불만을 회복시켜 만족으로 전환시키려는 회복속성들이 실제로 고객이 가지는 분배상의 공정성, 절차상의 공정성 및 상호작용 공정성에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 실증적으로 검증하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 10개의 ISP업체를 선정하고 해당 업체에 대해 불만을 가진 고객들이 기업의 불만제거 노력에 대해 평가하도록 하였다. 가설 검증을 위해 LISREL을 이용하여 서비스의 회복속성인 보상, 신속한 반응, 무반응, 사과, 사전보상제공 등이 분배상공정성, 절차상 공정성, 상호작용 공정성에 직접적으로 미치는 효과를 파악하고 이 공정성의 요인들이 만족에 미치는 영향도 실증적으로 검증하였다. 온라인 상이라는 새로운 환경을 고려하여 기존의 모델에서 간과된 부분을 확인하기 위해 확장 모델을 제시하여 새로운 의미를 가진 경로가 존재하는지 확인하고 이 부분에서 유의적인지 않은 경로를 배제한 수정모델을 제시하였다. 기존의 연구를 바탕으로 제시된 가설은 연구모델에서 경로 계수를 추정하고 이에 대한 t값을 통해 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 시사점으로는 고객의 서비스 실패 및 회복상황에 대한 평가의 이론적 원칙을 설명하고 관리자에게 각각의 서비스 실패와 일치하는 서비스 회복전략을 제시하여 운영상의 가이드 라인을 제시한다고 할 수 있다

The present paper briefly describes the space frame element and the fundamental strategies in computational elastic bifurcation theory of geometrically nonlinear, single load parameter conservative elastic spatial structures. A method for large deformation(rotation) analysis of space frame is based on an eulerian formulation, which takes into consideration the effects of large joint translations and rotations with finite deformation(rotation). The local member force-deformation relationships are based on the beam-column approach, and the change in member chord lengths caused by axial strain and flexural bowing are taken into account. and the derived geometric stiffness matrix is unsymmetric because of the fact that finite rotations are not commutative under addition. To detect the singular point such as bifurcation point, an iterative pin-pointing algorithm is proposed. And the path switching mode for bifurcation path is based on the non-negative eigen-value and it's corresponding eigen-vector. Some numerical examples for bifurcation analysis are carried out for a plane frame, plane circular arch and space dome structures are described.

In transportation networks, searching speed and result accuracy are becoming more critical on searching minimum path algorithm. Current $A^*$ algorithm has a big advantage of high searching speed. However, it has disadvantage of complicated searching network and low accuracy rate of finding the minimum path algorithm. Therefore, this study developed $A^*$ algorithm's heuristic function and focused on improving it's disadvantages. Newly developed function in this study contains the area concept, not the line concept. During the progress, this study adopts the idea of a heavier node that remains lighter to the target node is better that the lighter node that becomes heavier when it is connected to the other. Lastly, newly developed algorithm has the feedback function, which allows the larger accuracy value of heuristic than before. This developed algorithm tested on real network, and proved that developed algorithm is useful.

The purpose of this paper is to devise an optimal route allocation algorithm for automated vehicle(AV) in monitoring quality of road infrastructure to support the road safety. The tasks of an AV in this paper include visiting node-links at least once during its operation and checking status of road infrastructure, and coming back to its depot.. In selecting optimal route, its priority goal is visiting the node-links with higher risks while reducing costs caused by operation. To deal with the problem, authors devised reward maximizing algorithm for AVs. To check its validity, the authors developed simple toy network that mimic node-link networks and assigned costs and rewards for each node-link. With the toy network, the reward maximizing algorithm worked well as it visited the node-link with higher risks earlier then chinese postman route algorithm (Eiselt, Gendreau, Laporte, 1995). For further research, the reward maximizing algorithm should be tested its validity in a more complex network that mimic the real-life.

A variety of activity happens around the sidewalk in the city. Particularly, a large variety of activity happens in shopping area, but it causes an obstruction of economical revitalization since the pedestrians require time and cost to find what they want. So, this study will develop the path searching method to minimize the economical loss of shoppers by providing the significant path and supporting the walking movement. Firstly, consider existing network expression techniques and approach three points which are physical and environmental factor, the recognition of the pedestrians' space when changing the direction, and the recognition of restriction of vision and accessibility. Try to design the network DB and simulate the algorithm. As a result, it is now possible to do the path searching that considers variety of recognition factors and show the method how to make the path-searching algorithm for pedestrian.

Rhizopus nigricans produces 11.alpha.-hydroxyprogesternoe with a unidentified byproduct, which is hardly separated. Results of chromatography, IR and NMR spectroscopy identified the byproduct to be 11.alpha.-hydroxy-allopregnane-3,20-dione. R. nigricans was found to transform progesternoe into a monoform intermediate, 11.alpha.-hydroxyprogesterone, from which 11.alpha.-hydroxy-allopregnane-3,20-dione and 6.betha., 11.alpha. - dihydroxyprogesterone were formed respectively by 5.alpha.-reduction and 6.betha.-hydroxylation.
