This paper describes a hybrid QoS guarantee scheme for high quality audio streaming services on the Internet. The continuous playback of the audio data requires the isochronous transmission of the audio data packet through the Internet. In order to retain the QoS at the ultimate destination (client) as the same as servers provide, the transmission protocols should consider the error conditions such as packet loss, and out of order delivery. Generally, the protocols supporting the transmission of continuous media data do not try to recover the errors. The protocols are working somehow for the toll quality multimedia streaming services, but rot for the high quality streaming services, such as the DVD sound/music payback. The hybrid QoS guarantee scheme includes the three mechanisms to overcome the problem. The selective retransmission for the lost packet, the adaptive buffering at client-side, and the adaptive transmission rate at server-side are totally adopted to recover the packet loss with the minimal overhead, to prevent from the buffer starvation during the retransmission, and to maintain the isochronous transmission even after the retransmission. The experiments have shown good results for the high Quality audio streaming services on the Internet.

Trifolium pratense (red clover, Fabaceae) is a short-lived herbaceous species and the species is introduced from Europe or North America to Korea approximately 60 years ago. Allozyme variability was examined in populations representing this species. A high level of genetic variation was found in T. pratense populations. Ten of 19 loci $(52.6\%)$ showed detectable polymorphism. Genetic diversity was 0.220. The sexual reproduction, high fecundity, and colonization process are proposed as possible factors contributing to high genetic diversity. Genetic diversity (0.220) was lower than that (0.285) of North American red clover, T. pratense. Korean populations of red clover may be founded by a small sample of larger or moderate populations. An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per generation (Nm = 4.20) indicated that gene flow was extensive among Korean populations of this species.

Simultaneous equation models, which are widely used in business and economic areas, generally consist of endogenous variables determined within models and exogenous variables externally determined and in the simultaneous equations model framework there are rank and order conditions for the model identification and the existence of unique solutions. By contrast, their estimating results have less efficiencies and furthermore do not exist, since the most estimating procedures are performed under the assumptions for rank and order conditions. We propose the new statistical test for sufficiency of the rank condition under the order condition, and show the asymptotic properties for the test. The Monte Carlo simulation studies are achieved in order to evaluate its power and to suggest the baseline for satisfying the rank conditions.

최근 새로운 형태의 디스플레이에 관한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이들 중 특히 투명 산화물 반도체는 기존의 실리콘 기반의 반도체에 비해 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과도를 보이며, 또한 기존의 비정질 실리콘 소자에 비해서 10 cm2/Vs이상의 높은 전하 이동도 값을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 투명 산화물 반도체 소재 중 InGaZnO4를 사용하여 펄스 레이저 방법으로 Al2O3 (0001)기판 위에 비정질 상태인 a-InGaZnO4 박막을 성장 시켰다. 박막의 증착 온도를 변화(RT, $50^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$, $550^{\circ}C$)시켜 성장된 박막의 구조적, 화학적, 전기적 그리고 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 증착 온도가 $450{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 박막의 상태가 비정질(amorphous)에서 polycrystalline으로 성장되는 것을 X-Ray Diffraction과 Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope를 이용하여 확인하였고 이는 InGaZnO4 박막의 결정화 온도가 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상임을 알 수 있었다. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy를 통해서 target 물질과 성장된 박막의 조성 및 화학적 상태를 고찰한 결과, 박막의 결정성 변화가 화학적 상태 변화와는 무관하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 온도 의존 비저항 측정을 통해 박막이 반도체 성향을 가지는 것을 확인 하였다. 또한 Hall 측정 결과 증착 온도가 올라 갈수록 전하 밀도는 증가 하지만, 전하 이동도는 다결정 박막($550^{\circ}C$)에서 급격히 감소하고, 이로 인해 비저항 값이 크게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 다결정 박막 내 존재하는 grain boundary들이 이동도 값에 영향을 준다는 것으로 추측할 수 있다. Ultra violet-Visible-Near Infrared 측정을 통해 가시광 영역에서 80%이상의 투과율을 나타내며 증착 온도가 증가함에 따라 에너지 밴드갭(Eg)이 커지는 것을 확인 할 수 있는데 이는 Hall 측정 결과에서 확인한 전하 밀도의 증가로 인해 에너지 밴드갭이 커지는 Burstein-Moss 효과로 설명할 수 있다.

The phylogenetic relationships between Cheju native horses and Tsushima native horses were studied by protein polymorphism analyses in 16 gene loci (Trypsin inhibitor: Ti, Chymotrypsin inhibitor: CTi, Albumin: Al, Esterase: Es, Transferrin: Tf, Hemoglobin: Hb, Catalase: Cat, Esterase D: EsD, Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase: GOT, Glyoxalase I: GLO I, Acid phosphatase: AcP, Superoxide dismutase: SOD, Lactate dehydrogenase: LDH, Hexokinase: HK, Malate dehydrogenase: MDH, Malic enzyme: ME). All allelic patterns of the protein loci, except 5 loci (SOD, LDH, HK, MDH, ME), were polymorphic in both two populations. Gene frequencies of the polymorphic loci of the population of Cheju native horses were higher than those of Tsushima native horses. Average heterozygosity in Cheju native horses was 0.375, showing higher than that of Tsushima native horses (0.304). The Da distance and gene identity of two populations were 0.108 and 0.868, respectively. The phylogenetic tree constructed by these results and those previously reported in other horse populations, consisted of three clusters. From this phylogenetic tree, it could be suggested that Cheju native horses and Tsushima native horses had diverged from the Mongolian wild horse (Equus prsewolskii).

This paper proposes a new prediction method to reduce times and labor of repetitive multi-physics simulation. To achieve exact results from the whole simulation processes, complex modeling and huge amounts of time are required. Current multi-physics analysis focuses on the simulation method itself and the simulation environment to reduce times and labor. However this paper proposes an alternative way to reduce simulation times and labor by exploiting machine learning algorithm trained with data set from simulation results. Through comparing each machine learning algorithm, Gaussian Process Regression showed the best performance with under 100 training data and how similar results can be achieved through machine-learning without a complex simulation process. Given trained machine learning algorithm, it's possible to predict the result after changing some features of the simulation model just in a few second. This new method will be helpful to effectively reduce simulation times and labor because it can predict the results before more simulation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using retrograde compressive intramedullary nail for patients with complex hindfoot problems, including Charcot arthropathy, osteonecrosis of talus, combined arthritis of the ankle and subtalar joint, failure of previous ankle arthrodesis, and failed total ankle arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients (10 men and 8 women) with an average age of 54 years (range, 42~72 years) underwent tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using retrograde compressive intramedullary nail fixation. The mean duration of follow-up was 16 months (range, 12~23 months). Radiological evaluation included assessment of the union status of ankle and subtalar joints. Clinical evaluations included visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: Radiological union was achieved in 14 ankle joints (77%) and 16 subtalar joints (88%) at an average of 16 weeks (range, 14~40 weeks) and 14 weeks (range, 12~24 weeks), respectively. The preoperative VAS were 4.6 (range, 4~8) at rest and 8.2 (range, 7~10) during walking, and the postoperative VAS were 2.2 (range, 0~3) and 4.6 (range, 4~6), respectively (p<0.05). There were 6 nonunions (4 ankle joints and 2 subtalar joints), 3 tibia fractures, 2 delayed union of ankle joints, and 2 breakage of the implant. Conclusion: Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using retrograde compressive intramedullary nail may be considered as a viable option in patients with complex hindfoot problems.

Quality characteristics of commercial yoghurt powder products marketed in Korea were compared. According to the product type classification, no product met the product identity of "fermented milk powder" (six were identified as "other processed product" and nine as "sugar product"). Titratable acidity of products (10%, w/v) varied from 0.11 to 0.82% while numbers of lactic acid bacteria varied from 0 to $1.4{\times}10^8CFU/g$. There were significant differences in hydration properties and viscosity of yoghurt powder products. Some regulations are required to avoid consumer misunderstanding of beneficial health effects of yoghurt powder products.

Today, the demand for speech recognition systems in mobile environments is increasing rapidly. This paper proposes a novel method for Korean phoneme segmentation that is applicable to a phoneme based Korean speech recognition system. First, the input signal constitutes blocks of the same size. The proposed method is based on a volatility indicator calculated for each block of the input speech signal, and the bulk indicators calculated for each bulk in blocks, where a bulk is a set of adjacent samples that have the same sign as that of the primitive indicators for phoneme segmentation. The input signal vowels, voiced consonants, and voiceless consonants are sequentially recognized and the boundaries among phonemes are found using three devoted recognition algorithms that combine the two types of primitive indicators. The experimental results show that the proposed method can markedly reduce the error rate of the existing phoneme segmentation method.

Fourteen(14) large commercial buildings located in Seoul with friable sprayed-on surface insulation material on ceiling were investigated for fiber types in bulk material and for airborne fiber concentrations in buildings by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in order to compare the results with those by polarized light microscopy (PLM) and phase contrast microscopy (PCM). The results were as follows: 1. Chrysotile asbestos was found in one bulk sample out of total 14 bulk samples collected. Glass fiber and mineral wool were the two major constituents of the bulk samples. 2. The Na-Mg-Si-Ca-Fe-Al ratios of the EDX spectra which were normalized with the Si peak were 0-1.0-10-8.3-4.0-4.0 in mineral wool and 0-5-10-21-0-0 in chrysotile asbestos, respectively. 3. Airborne fiber concentrations were log-normalcy distributed and the geometric mean (geometric standard deviation) fiber concentrations by TEM in the underground parking lots and inside buildings were 0.0048 f/cc(1.93) and 0.0040 f/cc(2.27), respectively with no statistical difference. In the outdoor ambient air, statistically significantly lower concentration of 0.0018 f/cc(2.04) was measured. 4. The TEM/PCM ratios of airborne fiber concentrations ranged 0.5 - 2.0 for 80 % of airborne samples analyzed, end the regression equation between TEM and PCM was PCM=-0.2724+1.1355(TEM) with the coefficient of determination $R^2=0.52$. The results of this study confirmed that the sprayed-on surface insulation material found in some commercial buildings may possibly be contaminated with asbestos fiber. Since statistically significant relationship of fiber concentrations measured by PCM and TEM inside buildings and ambient air was found, previous results by PCM in ambient air could be used to estimate the ambient fiber concentrations in knowing the ratio of TEM/PCM.
