The present study examined Marcos Novak, a digital architect who has researched digital architecture and produced related works since the early 1990s. Starting from digital ideas originating from science and mathematics, he pursued 'trans architecture' based on the concept of 'architecture beyond the boundary of architecture' and 'architecture as invisible foundation.' His concept of 'trans architecture' is considered an important viewpoint in expressing the architecture of a diversified and hybridized age like today. The objective of this study was to understand the concepts of Allobio and Eversion, which are important digital terms forming the background of Novak's trans architecture, and to analyze architecture philosophy and architecture design concepts observed in his works through Novak's digital terminology centering on the concept of trans architecture pursued by him. Through this, we purposed to analyze the concept of architectural space, methods of form creation and the characteristics of trans architecture space, which were unique to Novak, the leader of digital architecture, and ultimately to provide basic materials on Novak. Novak's trans architecture represents digital architecture in the contemporary diversified and hybridized age, and his works involve various different digital elements and ideas, scientific paradigms, mathematic algorithms, 4 dimensional geometry, etc. In this sense, he is regarded as a prominent leading advocate of digital architecture.

This paper proposes the high speed LDPC decoder structure base on the DVB-S2. Firstly, We study the solution to avoid the memory conflict. For the high speed decoding process the decoder adapts the HSS(Horizontal Shuffle Scheduling) scheme. Secondly, for the high speed decoding algorithm normalized Min-Sum algorithm is adapted instead of Sum-Product algorithm. And the self corrected is a variant of the LDPC decoding that sets the reliability of a Mc${\rightarrow}$v message to 0 if there is an inconsistency between the signs of the current incoming messages Mv'${\rightarrow}$c and the sign of the previous incoming messages Moldv'${\rightarrow}$c This self-corrected algorithm avoids the propagation on unreliable information in the Tanner graph and thus, helps the convergence of the decoder.Start after striking space key 2 times. Lastly, and this paper propose the optimal hardware architecture supporting the high speed throughput.

응력파의 기반한 비파괴 검사법은 비교적 실험 절차 및 실험에 필요한 장비가 단순하고, 인체에 해가 없으며, 비용이 저렴한 특성을 갖고있다. 따라서 건축/토목 구조물의 비파괴 검사에 매우 효과적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 기존의 가속도계, 변위계, 지오폰과 같은 부착 센서를 사용할 경우 표면 처리, 센서의 부착 및 이동에 따른 추가적인 시간이 소요되고, 센서와 구조물의 불완전한 커플링으로 인한 측정 결과의 신뢰성 및 일관성을 유지하지 어렵다는 문제를 발생시킨다. 최근 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 Air-coupled sensor (ACS)의 사용이 각광받고 있으며, 여러 연구자들에 의해 ACS의 가능성 및 실용성이 증명되고 있다. 기존의 접촉센서와 비교하여 ACS를 사용했을 때 얻을 수 있는 가장 큰 장점은 센서의 커플링 문제를 근본적으로 해결하여 신뢰도가 높고 일관적인 측정이 가능하고, 대형 건축/토목 구조물의 표면을 음향스캔하여 결과를 신속하게 처리하여 실시간으로 시각화 할 수 있다는 점이다. 이론적으로 ACS를 이용하여 측정하는 물리값은 콘크리트 내부에서 발생된 응력파의 일부가 공기중으로 전파된 누설파 (Leaky wave)이다. 콘크리트 비파괴 검사에 주로 사용하는 100 kHz이하의 저주파를 측정할 경우 일반적으로 콘텐서마이크가 ACS로 사용될 수 있다. 기존 연구자들은 실험 및 이론적 연구를 통하여 응력파에 기반한 비파괴 방법에서 ACS가 기존의 접촉 센서를 대체할 수 있다는 점을 보여주고 있다. 현재 미국에서는 연방 도로청 (FHWA) 및 국가표준기술연구소 (NIST)의 연구비 지원으로 ACS의 실용성을 높이기 위하여 최적화된 음향반사판의 설계를 통한 ACS 의 민감도를 높이기 위한 연구, 다채널 센서 배열 및 데이터 통합을 위한 새로운 알로리즘 개발, 자동화 및 로봇 기술과 융합과 같은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 멀지 않은 미래에는 ACS를 장착한 무인 로봇이 다양한 종류의 건축/토목 구조물의 건전도를 평가하기 위하여 종횡무진 활약하는 모습을 현실 속에서 볼 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

This paper proposes the algorithms that design the highly digital logic circuit and assign the code to each node of DCG(Directed Cyclic Graph) of length ${\zeta}$. The conventional algorithm have some problems, so this paper introduce the matrix equation from DCG of length ${\zeta}$ and proposes highly digital logic circuit design algorithms according to the DCG of length ${\zeta}$. Using the proposed circuit design algorithms in this paper, it become realized that was able to design from former algorithm. Also, making a comparison between the circuit using former algorithm and this paper's, we testify that proposed paper's algorithm is able to realize more optimized circuit design. According to proposed circuit design algorithm in this paper, it is possible to design current that DCG have natural number, so it have the following advantages, reduction of the circuit input/output digits, simplification of circuit composition, reduction of computation time and cost. And we show comparability and verification about this paper's algorithm.

Plantago asiatica (Plantaginaceae) is a wind-pollinated plant that grows mainly on fields in East Asia. Starch gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the allozyme diversity and population structure of 18 populations of this species. Although the plantain populations were isolated and patchily distributed, they maintained a high level of genetic diversity; the average percentage of polymorphic loci was 57.1%, the mean number of alleles per locus was 2.07, and the average heterozygosity for 18 populations was 0.201. The combination of a predominant wind-pollinated, mix-mating reproduction, large population sizes, high gene flow between subpopulations, and a propensity for high fecundity may explain the high level of genetic diversity within populations. A direct gradient in overall genetic diversity is associated with latitude. Genetic diversity of P. asiatica is markedly decreased from $35^{\circ}3^{\prime}$ to high latitude and decreased from $35^{\circ}3^{\prime}N$ to low latitude, whereas there does not show a longitudinal gradient in genetic diversity.

An 1.28 kg, male, thirteen years of age, red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) was presented with one month history of anorexia, decreased mobility, and swelling and erythema of forelimbs. Hyperuricemia and tophaceous gout such as osteolysis at the digit, carpal and metacarpal bones with radiopaque densities around the lesion were detected. Allopurinol (20 mg/kg, PO, once a day) and u/d (Hill's diet) were selected for treatment and other antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs were not administered. One month after initial presentation, clinical signs and radiographic findings were improved. According to the medical response, the turtle was presumptively diagnosed as articular gout and allopurinol revealed effective response to the articular gout in turtles.

A protease inhibitor from fish eggs was fractionated using chromatographic methods. The fractionation efficiency was evaluated in terms of specific inhibitory activity (SIA, U/mg), purity (fold), total inhibitory activity (TIA, U), and recovery (%). The protease inhibitor (PI) from egg extracts of skipjack tuna (ST Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (YT Thunnus albacares) and Alaska pollock (AP Theragra chalcogramma) was fractionated using Sephadex G-50 gel filtration and DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B anion exchange chromatography based on protein size exclusion and net charge, respectively. Fractions exhibiting strong inhibitory activity were contained in the 30-50 kDa fraction on gel filtration and in the range of 0.4-0.7 M NaCl gradient fraction on anion exchange chromatography. The respective TIA and percent recovery of the fraction obtained with gel filtration toward trypsin and $N{\alpha}$-benzoyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) were 2,758.7 U and 29.6% for ST, 1,005.5 U and 25.6% for YT, and 1,267.5 U and 26.0% for AP. Gel filtration chromatography was more effective at fractionating PI than using ion exchange chromatography. These results suggest that fish eggs act as serine protease inhibitors and might be useful for protease inhibition in foodstuffs.

The genetic diversity and population structures of fourteen Carex okamotoi (Cyperaceae) populations in Korea were determined using genetic variation at 25 allozyme loci. The Carex okamotoi species is native to Korea. It is endemic to three mountains (Mt. Taeback, Mt. Sobak, and Mt. Noreong) where it is found at 700~1,500 m above sea level. The percentage of polymorphic loci was 40.0%. Genetic diversity at the species level and at the population level was low ($H_{ES}$=0.106; $H_{EP}$=0.094), and the extent of the population divergence was relatively low ($G_{ST}$=0.082). Measurement of deviation from random mating ($F_{IS}$) within the 14 populations was 0.238. An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per generation was 2.78 (Nm=2.78). Analysis of fixation indices revealed a substantial heterozygosity deficiency in some populations and at some loci. Mean genetic identity between populations was 0.986.

Nodes communicate through wireless channels under peer-to-peer level in ad-hoc mobile networks. The nodes are free to move around in a geographical area and are loose]y bounded by the transmission range of the wireless channels. Also, a node is completely free to move around, there is no fixed final topology. Hence, to manage the inter-node communication and data exchange among them a leader node is required. In this paper we introduce an efficient leader election algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks where inter-node communication is allowed only among the neighboring nodes. Furthermore we present the result of performance evaluation through simulation. The algorithm is efficient and practical since it uses least amount of wireless resources and does not affect the movement of the nodes.

Protease inhibitors (PI) of trypsin and papain as target proteases from the roe of bastard halibut Paralichthys olivaceus were fractionated out using ammonium sulfate precipitation (A), DEAE 650M anion exchange chromatography (D), and Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration (S). The recovery percentages of the fractions with the strongest inhibitory activity for each fractionation method were 13% for the A4 fraction, 21.2% for the D3 fraction, and 21.3% for the S2 fraction, with specific inhibitory activities of the fractions toward trypsin and casein of 168, 139, and 218 U/mg, respectively, while no inhibition of papain was observed. The $IC_{50}$ for the trypsin-specific substrate $N{\alpha}$-benzoyl-$\small{L}$-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) was 0.65, 1.55, 2.26, and 2.85 mg/mL for the A4, S2, A3, and D3 fractions, respectively. These results suggest that chromatographic fractionation methods (D and S) based on the molecular mass and charge of the protein were more effective at fractionating PI than was ammonium sulfate precipitation based on protein solubility, and that the bastard halibut roe extract acts as a serine protease inhibitor. Therefore, the PI fraction from fish roe might be useful for inhibiting proteases in foodstuffs, and could constitute an alternative food-grade inhibitor for the surimi industry.
