The automatic generation of circuit diagrams has been practically used in the HDL based design for decades. Nevertheless, the diagrams became too complicated for the designers to identify the signal flows in the RTL and system level designs. In this paper, we propose four techniques to enhance the roadability of the complicated diagrams. They include i) the transformation of repetitive instances and terminals into vector forms, ii) an improved loop breaking algorithm, iii) a flat tap which simplifies the two level bus ripping structure that is required for the connection of a bundle net to multiple buses, and iv) the identification of block strings, and alignment of the corresponding blocks. Towards validating the proposed techniques, the diagrams of an industrial strength design m generated. The complexity of the diagrams has been reduced by up to $90\%$ in terms of the number of wires, the aggregate wire length, and the area.

Monogenic diseases are resulted from modifications in a single gene of human cells. Because their treatment with pharmacological medicine have a temporary effect, continuous nursing care and retreatment are required. Gene therapy, gene targeting and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) are considered permanent treatment methods of them. In gene therapy, however, retroviral vectors that have potential toxicity caused by random insertion of harmful virus are used as vehicles for transferring genetic materials. On the other hand, gene targeting could replace and remove the modified gene though homologous recombination (HR) induced by site-specific endonucleases. This short review provides a brief overview on the recently tailored endonucleses with high selectivity for HR.

화학적 혹은 생물학적인 방법으로 합성된 생분해성 고분자(biodegradable polymers)는 환경 문제와 인간의 생명 유지와 같은 인간 생활과 밀접한 관계가 있는 적용 분야로 인해 많은 관심을 받고 있으며, 국내 플라스틱의 폐기량만 해도 2003년을 기준으로 연간 4,000톤을 쉽게 넘고 있고 재활용되는 양은 전체의 1/3 수준이며, 나머지 2/3는 소각되거나 매립되고 있다. 폴리에스테르계 생분해성 섬유는 "미생물이 분비하는 효소로, 분해 가능한 화학합성 섬유"로서, 미생물이 분비하는 가수분해 효소에 의해 고분자 쇄가 절단, 저분자량 화합물이 돼 미생물의 체내로 흡수되며, 이것이 미생물의 체내에서 효소작용에 의해 산화탄소와 물로 분해되는 섬유로 정의된다. 생분해성 고분자 중 화학합성 고분자인 지방족 폴리에스테르계 생분해성 고분자는 특히 환경 산업으로부터 많은 관심을 받고 있으며, 이러한 결정성 폴리에스테르계 고분자의 물성은 고분자의 결정화도 뿐만 아니라, 압력, 온도 등에 의해서 변할 수 있는 결정 구조에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다. 생분해성 섬유는 실용화가 이미 시작됐고, 다용도화와 수요 확대를 위해 많은 연구소와 대학, 기업들이 연구개발을 진행하고 있으며, 향후 석유자원이 고갈된다는 것은 명백한 사실이므로 이에 따라 화석자원의 절약과 유효 이용을 위해서라도 바이오 베이스 폴리머를 주원료로 한생분해성 섬유의 개발은 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 합성섬유 중에서 75%의 비중을 차지하는 폴리에스테르를 대체 가능한 고내열생분해성 폴리에스테르계 직물을 제조하여 범용 폴리에스테르와 염색온도에 대한 염색성을 고찰하였다. 염색온도($100^{\circ}C$, $110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$)별, 3종의 분산염료의 농도(0.25,0.5,1.0,2.0%o.w.f)별 Build-up성 및 균염성을 비교하였으며, 염색 시료의 견뢰도를 평가하였다.

Tn this study, the noll-destructive computed X-ray tomography was adopted to observe the density distribution of the needle-punched C-C composites nozzle throat. The density distribution of the C-C was evaluated within ${\pm}0.01g/cm^3$ with 98.74% confidence when the correction of the image and high signal-to-noise ratio were achieved by the optimization of the beam hardening, the electrical noise and the scattered X-ray. The density variation of the C/C with the computed tomography was in good agreement with the results obtained by the water immersion method and the observation with scanning electron microscope.

The eyes of Nilaparvata lugens were examined for ultrastructural changes in the light and dark adapted states. Inspection of light microscope sections taken at similar levels of compound eyes from insects kept in light or darkness for periods up to 72 hors revealed some differences between light and dark adapted eyes. Using the electronmicroscope, in light adapted eyes the palisade layer was narrower than that in dark adapted eyes. The pigment granules still formed a ring around the palisade layer in the dark adapted eye but, they did not form a tight circle around the rhabdom. No constant difference was found between the diameters of the microvilli in light and dark adapted eyes. The pigment movements at the junction of the cone and the rhabdom took the effect on varying the pigment aperture at the tip of the cone in front of the rhabdom tip.

In this study, structural strain responses of the jacket-type Uldolmok tidal current power plant structure under severe tidal environments were measured and analyzed using long-term measurement system during construction and also operation. It was observed that there were significant changes in strain responses at the steps of jacket lifting, block loading, pile ejection and insertion. Strains due to dead loads and tidal loads were analyzed before and after removal of a jacket leg, and it was also found that the strains due to dead load were much significantly changed after jacket leg removal. From the measurement data during operation, it was found that strain responses were fluctuated with M2 and M4 tidal periods and also relatively short period of about 10 min due to the peculiar tidal characteristics in the Uldolmok strait. Finally, the neural network-based non-parametric estimation models were investigated to build up the signal-based structural damage monitoring system.

This paper deals with the improvement of the synthesized speech quality and naturality in the Korean TTS(Text-to-Speech) system. We had extracted the parameters(table2) such as its amplitude, duration and pitch period in a syllable through the analysis of speech waveforms(table1) in the time domain and synthesized syllables using them. To the frequencies of the Korean pronunciation large vocabulary dictionary we had synthesized speeches selected 229 syllables such as V types are 19, CV types are 80. VC types are 30 and CVC types are 100. According to the 4 Korean syllable types from the data format dictionary(table3) we had tested each 15 syllables with the objective MOS(Mean Opinion Score) evaluation method about the 4 items i.e., intelligibility, clearness, loudness, and naturality after selecting random group without the knowledge of them. As the results of experiments the qualities of them are very clear and we can control the prosodic elements such as durations, accents and pitch periods (fig9, 10, 11, 12).

The bacteriophage Mu and transposon Tn5 containing plasmid pJB4JI-transferred transposon Tn5 to Caulobuter crescentus. When several thousand of transposon Tn5 insertion mutants were examined, we found auxotrophic and motility mutants at frequencies of 2％ and 3％, respectively. Transposition of transposon Tn5 was analyzed by the reverse field electrophoresis and Southern hybridization. The results indicated that transposon Tn5 was randomly inserted to Caulobuter crescentus chromosome but the plasmid vector, pJB4JI, was not maintained.

The effects of packaging methods on the storage properities of salted Chinese cabbage were examinined during 3-week storage. The weights of salted Chinese cabbage decreased to 69-77% by water loss and salinities decreased from 2.6% to 2.0%, respectively. The pH decreased from 6.4 to 6.2 for 1- week storage in all cases, but the pH increased to 6.6 in non packaging(Non-P), maintained at 6.2 in PVC container packaging(PVC), and decreased continuously to 5.5 and 5.7 in LDPE packaging (LDPE) and HDPE packaging(HDPE), repectively for 3-week storage. Reducing sugars increased slightly for 1-week storage for the relative concentration effect by water loss, but decreased to 1.8% for 3-week storage because of the microbial fermentation. Cutting force increased in LDPE for the continuous osmosis phenomena but decreased in Non-P for the putrefaction. As the results, LDPE was found to be the most effective packaging method.

This paper presents results from a study undertaken to quantitatively evaluate the geotextile pore sizes using optical image analysis. The evaluation was conducted by observing surfaces of coupons cut from resin-impregnated specimens of geotextile-geomembrane layered under various load conditions. Stereological concepts were applied to collect representative specimens from a series of laboratory tests. The sizes of voids enclosed by filaments were expressed in terms of the largest inscribing opening size (LIOS) distribution. The opening diameter corresponding to the 50% cumulative frequency decreased by about 45mm as the load increased from 10 to 300kPa and recovered to about 90% of its initial state on unloading back to 10kPa. The average void size was reduced by 32 and 16.5% as the geotextile was sheared against a textured geomembrane under normal stresses of 100 and 300kPa, respectively. The results showed how the LIOS distribution varied as a function of normal stress and interface shear displacement against a smooth and a textured geomembrane surfaces.
