In this paper, a novel power/ground plane using the hybrid-cell electromagnetic band-gap(EBG) structure is proposed for the wide-band suppression of the ground bound noise(GBN) or simultaneous switching noise(SSN). The -30 dB stopband of the proposed structure starts from a few hundred MHz where the GBN/SSN energy is dominant. The distinctive features of this new structure are the thin spiral strip line and hybrid-cells. They realize the enhanced inductance and the shorter period of the EBG lattice. As a result, the lower cut-off frequency and bandwidth of the -30 dB stopband becomes lower and wider, respectively. In addition, the proposed structure has smaller number of resonance modes between power/ground planes and performs a low EMI behavior compared with the reference board.

An entomopathogenic bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), can sporulate along with production of insecticidal Cry toxins. Bt Cry toxins exhibit relatively narrow spectrum to target insects due to their specific interactions with midgut receptors. This study designed several strategies to enhance Bt efficacy in target insect spectrum and insecticidal activity. Four Cry toxins were purified from four different Bt strains and showed relatively narrow target insect spectrum. However, the Cry mixtures significantly expanded their target insect spectra. The additional effect of baculovirus to Cry toxin was tested with recombinant baculoviruses expressing Cry1Ac or Cry1Ca. However, the baculovirus was little effective to expand target insect spectrum. Bacterial culture broth of Xenorhabdus nematophila (Xn) significantly suppressed insect cellular immune response and increased Cry toxicity. The addition of Xn culture broth to Cry mixture significantly enhanced Bt efficacy in target insect spectrum and insecticidal activity.

A data warehouse is a data repository that enables users to store large volume of data and to analyze it effectively. In this research, we investigate an algorithm to establish a multidimensional data cube which is a powerful analysis tool for the contents of data warehouses and databases. There exists an inevitable retrieval overhead in a multidimensional data cube due to the sparsity of the cube. In this paper, we propose a dense sub-cube extraction algorithm that identifies dense regions from a large sparse data cube and constructs the sub-cubes based on the dense regions found. It reduces the retrieval overhead remarkably by retrieving those small dense sub-cubes instead of scanning a large sparse cube. The algorithm utilizes the bitmap and histogram based techniques to extract dense sub-cubes from the data cube, and its effectiveness is demonstrated via an experiment.

The error rate equation fo DS-BPSK(Direct Sequence Binary Phase Shift Keying) signal transmitted through the nonlinear satellite transponder has been derived in the cochannel interference and downlink Gaussian noise environment. The input to the satellite transponder is the superposition of DS-BPSK signal with one interfere which is a cochannel wide-band PN signal. The error rate performance of DS-BPSK system has been evaluated and shown in figures in terms of carrier to interference power ratio(CIR), downlink signal to noise power ratio(downlink SNR) and process gain. In the analysis, it has been shown that the use of a hard limiter in DS-BPSK satellite system leads to the generation of narrow-band intermodulation products which is independent of the process gain. Also it is known that the error rate performance can be improved in the low levels (below 10dB) of CIR as the CIR increase. As the process gain varies from 10 to 100 the curve gives the about 10 dB gain in downlink SNR to maintain a fixed error rate.

We present power(in frequency domain) and rate adaptation(in time domain) schemes in multicarrier (MC) direct-sequence code-division multiple-access(DS/CDMA) communications. Utilizing channel state information from the receiver, the adaptation schemes allocate power the user's sub-band with the largest channel gain. In the time domain, the transmission data rate is adapted for a desired transmission quality. In the case of single-user channels, a closed-form expression is derived for an optimal time domain power adaptation that minimizes the average bit error rate(BER). Channel inversion power adaptation is found to provide nearly optimal performance in this case, as the number of sub-bands or available average transmission power increase. Analysis and simulation results show the BER performance of the proposed power and rate adaptations with fixed average transmission power significantly improves the performance over the power allocation in the frequency domain only. Also, we compare the performance of the proposed power and rate adaptation schemes in MC-DS/CDMA systems with that of power and rate adapted single carrier DS/CDMA systems with RAKE receiver.

A postharvest treatment called CATTS (controlled atmosphere and temperature treatment system) has been used as an alternative nonchemical measure for methyl bromide fumigant treatment. This study applied CATTS to control the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, infesting stored grains. Adults of T. castaneum were susceptible to $46^{\circ}C$ heat treatment. The susceptibility was further enhanced by addition of CA conditions (15% $CO_2$ and 1% $O_2$). When CATTS ($46^{\circ}C$, 15% $CO_2$, $16^{\circ}C/h$ treating rate) was applied to different developmental stages of T. castaneum, it showed 100% control efficacy by 120 min exposure. There was a variation in CATTS susceptibility among developmental stages, in which late instar larvae were most tolerant. Heat shock proteins of T. castaneum appeared to be implicated in the tolerance of CATTS.

Today's Internet does not have efficient traffic engineering mechanism to support QoS for the explosive increasing internet traffic such as various multimedia traffic. This functional shortage degrades prominently the quality of service, and makes it difficult to provide multi-media service and real-time service. Various technologies are under developed to solve these problems. IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) developed the MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) technology that provides a good capabilities of traffic engineering and is independent layer 2 protocol, so MPLS is expected to be used in the Internet backbone network$\^$[1][2]/. The faults occurring in high-speed network such as MPLS, may cause massive data loss and degrade quality of service. So fast network restoration function is essential requirement. Because MPLS is independent to layer 2 protocol, the fault detection and reporting mechanism for restoration should also be independent to layer 2 protocol. In this paper, we present the experimental results of the MPLS OAM function for the performance monitoring and fault detection 'll'&'ll' notification, localization in MPLS network, based on the OPNET network simulator

In the paper, we address QRM-MLD (Maximum Likelihood Detection with QR Decomposition and M-algorithm) signal detection method for spatially multiplexed MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. Recently, the QRM-MLD signal detection method which can achieve 1Gbps transmission speed for next generation mobile communication was implemented in a MIMO testbed for the mobile moving at a pedestrian speed. In the paper, we propose a novel signal detection method 'reduced complexity QRM-MLD' that achieves identical error performance as the QRM-MLD while reducing the computational complexity significantly. We rigorously compare the two detection methods in terms of computational complexity to show the complexity reduction of the proposed method. We also perform a set of computer simulations to demonstrate that two detection methods achieve identical error performance.

As a large quantity of Genome sequencing has happened to be done a very much a surprising speed in short period, an automatic genome annotation process has become prerequisite. The most difficult process among with this kind of genome annotation works is to finding out the protein-coding genes within a genome. The main 2 subjects of gene prediction are Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes ; their genes have different structures, therefore, their gene prediction methods will also obviously varies. Until now, it is found that among of the 231 genome sequenced species, 200 have been found to be prokaryotes, therefore, for study of biotechnology studies, through comparative genomics, prokaryotes, rather than eukaryotes could may be more appropriate than eukaryotes. Even more, prokaryotes does not have the gene structure called an intron, so it makes the gene prediction easier. Former prokaryotes gene predictions have been shown to be 80%～ to 90% of accuracy. A recent study is aiming at 100% of gene prediction accuracy. In this paper, especially in the case of the E. coli K-12 and S. typhi genomes, gene prediction accuracy which showed 98.5% and 98.7% was more efficient than previous GLIMMER.

8 bit and 16 bit microprocessors are widely used in the small sited control machine. The embedded microprocessors which is integrated on a single chip with the memory and I/O circuit must have simple hardware circuit and high code density. This paper proposes a 16 bit high code density EISC(Extendable Instruction Set Computer) microprocessor. SE1608 has 8 general purpose registers and 16 bit fixed length instruction set which has the short length offset and small immediate operand. By using an extend register and extend flag, the offset and immediate operand in instruction could be extended. SE1608 is implemented with 12,000 gate FPGA and all of its functions have been tested and verified at 8MHz. And the cross assembler, the cross C/C++compiler and the instruction simulator of the SE1608 have been designed and verified. This paper also proves that the code density$.$ of SE1608 shows 140% and 115% higher code density than 16 bit microprocessor H-8300 and MN10200 respectively, which is much higher than traditional microprocessors. As a consequence, the SE1608 is suitable for the embedded microprocessor since it requires less program memory to any other ones, and simple hardware circuit.
