Development of IT technology as well as arrival of information-oriented society raise the curtain of 'the era of Ubiquitous Computing', implying accessing computers beyond boundary of time and space. In this era, it is expected that IT paradigms and life-styles would be transformed immensely above the experiences of 20th century. However, improvement of technology summons a new risk of cyber terrorism which have not been in the past. Thus, it is urgent to prepare for the threats in the national level. This paper point out five major threats relating to 'the security in the era of Ubiquitous Computing'. : First, spread of threats in connection with BcN establishment, second, vulnerable information-security for wireless communication, third, leakage of private information, fourth, cyber terror and deterioration of security, fifth, security problems of Korea including the drain of military information and solutions in the views of organization, personnel, technology and budget, comparing with other countries.

We propose a general solution methodology for identifying the optimal aggregation interval sizes as a function of the traffic dynamics and frequency of observations for four cases : i) link travel time estimation, ii) corridor/route travel time estimation, iii) link travel time forecasting. and iv) corridor/route travel time forecasting. We first develop statistical models which define Mean Square Error (MSE) for four different cases and interpret the models from a traffic flow perspective. The emphasis is on i) the tradeoff between the Precision and bias, 2) the difference between estimation and forecasting, and 3) the implication of the correlation between links on the corridor/route travel time estimation and forecasting, We then demonstrate the Proposed models to the real-world travel time data from Houston, Texas which were collected as Part of the Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) system of the Houston Transtar system. The best aggregation interval sizes for the link travel time estimation and forecasting were different and the function of the traffic dynamics. For the best aggregation interval sizes for the corridor/route travel time estimation and forecasting, the covariance between links had an important effect.

Four leptocephali (TL 109.8~129.7 mm) of the family Ophichthidae, collected from Sangju in the South Sea of Korea, were identified using morphological and molecular methods. Our four leptocephali were similar to Ophichthus sp. based on morphological characters: the melanophores present in series of eight gut swellings; total myomeres 144~151; body depth in total length less than 10%; eight or nine black horizontal bands present from anus to caudal fin base. On the other hand, our four leptocephali were identified to Pisodonophis sp. based on 826 base pairs of 12S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences. Our results showed that morphology-based identification did not agree with molecular identification, indicating difficulty in differentiating morphologically between Ophichthus and Pisodonophis leptocephali. We, herein, firstly describe morphological characteristics of Pisodonophis sp. leptocephali from Korea.

When drivers encounter multiple available routes, they may evaluate the utility of each route. Two important factors in the evaluation are travel time and travel cost. Without hewing the current travel time of each route, drivers' decisions are not necessarily optimum. It is called 'transparency issue' that drivers are blinded to choose the optimum route among the others because of the limited travel time information. As a result of this, competing route travel times tend to fluctuate. This case study to utilize the data of Namsan traffic information system confirms that this travel time fluctuation can be lessened as real time traffic information is provided.

In an effort to the practical realization of phonetic typewriter, we concentrate on the classification of consonants in this paper. Since many of consonants do not show periodic behavior in time domain and thus the validity for Fourier analysis of them are not convincing, vector quantization (VQ) via LBG clustering is first performed to check if the feature vectors of MFCC and LPCC are ever meaningful for consonants. Experimental results of VQ showed that it's not easy to draw a clear-cut conclusion as to the validity of Fourier analysis for consonants. For classification purpose, two kinds of neural networks are employed in our study: self organizing map (SOM) and learning vector quantization (LVQ). Results from SOM revealed that some pairs of phonemes are not resolved. Though LVQ is free from this difficulty inherently, the classification accuracy was found to be low. This suggests that, as long as consonant classification by LVQ is concerned, other types of feature vectors than MFCC should be deployed in parallel. However, the combination of MFCC/LVQ was not found to be inferior to the classification of phonemes by language-moded based approach. In all of our work, LPCC worked worse than MFCC.

Growth rates of two manganese nodules collected in the Korea Deep Ocean Study (KODOS-89) site in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zones in the central Equatorial Pacific have been estimated by employing uranium-series disequilibrium techniques to investigate the geochemical processes leading to the formation of deep-sea nodules. the growth rates estimated from the profiles of excess /SUP 230/Th activities and ratios of excess /SUP 230/Th to /SUP 232/Th to /SUP 232/Th are in the order of a few millimeters per million years. Growth rates at bottom-side of nodules are 2-3 times faster than those at top-sides. Diagenetic supply of manganese could explain the faster growth at the bottom-side of nodules.

The South Korean government is looking for a solution to the ever-growing problems of traffic congestion, and surging international oil prices: the use of the humble bicycle to get to places. However, Many people feel inconvenient using bicycle because of the insufficient bicycle infrastructure and lack of the safety and connectivity between existing pathways. In this study, bicycle level of service model using ordered probit model is developed considering safety, convenience, connectivity, and factors that affect bicycle LOS. The ordered probit model would be recommended for the research which relates in choice, preference and strength etc. Bicycle level of service criteria is calculated by applying this model reflecting bicyclist's point of view. The model which develops from this research which accomplishes a bicycle level of service evaluation and represent alternative solution to encourage bicyclist. It is believed that the proposed model would be greatly utilized in bicycle network planning, bicycle road and facility alternatives testing, projects funding priority.

참여정부의 출범과 한께 과학기술계에서는 동북아 과학기술 허브 구축방안 논의가 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 현재까지 이러한 논의는 법제도의 정비 및 과학기술특구 건설 등의 이슈에 한정되고 있는 실정이며, 더욱이 이를 뒷받침할 실증적 연구는 미미하다. 허브란 개념이 네트워크에서의 중심성(centrality)을 의미 하며, 현재 및 미래의 과학학기술협력 네트워크 발전에 정보통신기술이 중요한 역할을 수행함을 고려할 때, 우리나라의 초고속통신망 인프라를 십분 활용한 차세대 과학기술 정보인프라의 구축을 통한 동북아 사이버 연구네트워크상의 허브화(궁극적으로는 e-Science의 허브화를 지향)는 지역 클러스터 건설을 통한 물리적 허브화 못지 않게 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구는 먼저 네트워크 분석기법을 동아시아의 과학기술협력 네트워크에 적용하여 주요 네트워크 지수를 실증적으로 진단하고, 특히 이를 유럽연합의 과학기술협력 네트워크의 패턴과 비교 분석하였다. 유럽 연합은 1984년부터 과학기술 협력 프로그램인 Framework Program을 시작하여 일찍부터 역내 과학기술협력 프로그램을 운영해 온 경험을 가지고 있고, 2000년부터는 자발적 협력과 네트워킹을 통해 유럽의 연구 개발 활동을 통합·조정하기 위해 새롭게 제안된 유럽 연구개발권 (European Research Area) 형성이 구체화되고 있어, 동북아 과학기술협력 네트워크를 건설하는데 좋은 벤치마킹 대상이라 할 수 있다. 이 보고서에서는 유럽 연구개발귄이라는 우산 아래서 유럽의 과학기술 활동이 조정 및 통합되는 과정을 살펴보고, 이를 위한 과학기술 정보인프라의 주요 기능을 컨텐트 (연구정보서비스와 메타데이터 표준), 시스템 (슈퍼 컴퓨팅, 광대역 네트워크, GRID), e-Science 응용연구 별로 살펴보았다. 끝으로 유럽의 경험을: 교훈삼아 동북아 e-Science 네트워크의 건설을 위한 정책적 시사점과 동북아 연구개발정보 Portal 및 APEC APGrid 연구망 등의 구체적인 정보인프라 구축방안을 도출하였다.

When we implement the single frequency network (SFN) in ATSC terrestrial DTV system, there is an interference problem to DTV receivers due to the use of same frequency channel among transmitters and repeaters. To resolve this problem, it is recommended to adopt the transmitter identification signals in transmitting equipments. In this paper, we analyzed the influence suffered by legacy DTV receivers when the TxID signal is added to the DTV transmitting signals and the results were further verified by computer simulation, laboratory test and field test. The above tests show that if the TxID signal is added to the level of -30dB compared to the original DTV signal, the TOV(Threshold Of Visibility) increment in legacy receivers is about 0.17 dB. It means that we can insert and transmit the TxID signal in ATSC terrestrial DTV system without making the negative effect to the legacy DTV receivers.
