4D system has applied to construction project as a management tool after the late 1990's. Various 4D systems have been developed, however they have some problems that should be improved. Especially, the 4D system for civil engineering project needs synthesized 3D model between natural ground condition and physical facility type. It is a different problem comparing with the system for building project. 1'his study suggests an automatically synthesizing methodology between ground triangulate network and design triangulate network. Furthermore the study develops an application methodology of multi-texturing technique defined in virtual reality modeling language (VRML) for skipping the 3D model synthesizing process from the 4D model development processes. The suggested methodology is applied to the prototype of real 4D system. The proposed technique for 3D modeling may be used as an essential methodology for developing 4D system for civil engineering projects.

The 3D objects far representing artificial element in building project can be easily organized in 4D system. However, the civil engineering projects need a composing technology of irregular triangulate network because the projects generally include earthwork of large scale that consists of cutting, filling, and excavating work. It Is very difficult to represent earthwork status as 3D object type because the earthwork in highway or railway projects is being progressed on the natural geographical features. That is, a composing technology of irregular triangulate networks necessary function to simulate natural site condition as 3D object in 4D system. This study suggests a new composing technology of irregular triangulate network that 3D objects can be automatically generated by attribute in each layer.

Purpose: Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT provides not only myocardial perfusion status but also various functional parameters of left ventricle. We compared left ventricular ejection fraction, end-diastolic volume, LV mass by cardiac SPECT using Quantitative Gated SPECT (QGS), 4D-MSPECT software and standard 2D-echocardiography. Materials and Methods: One hundred fourteen patients (male 51, female 63; 29-85 years old, mean $61.3\;{\pm}\;13.3$ years old) with normal perfusion status on Tc-99m tetrofosmin gated myocardial perfusion SPECT were analyzed retrospectively. Ejection fraction (LVEF), End-diastolic volume (LVED), LV mass (LVM) were calculated using QGS, 4D-MSPECT, and LVEF, LVM using 2D-echocardiography. Statistical analysis including Bland-Altman plot was performed using $MedCalc^{(R)}$ (MedCalc software, Mariakerke, Belgium). Results: The correlation of LVEF between methods was good: 0.95/0.96 (stress/rest) between QGS and 4D-MSPECT, 0.79 between QGS and echocardiography, 0.79 between 4D-MSPECT and echocardiography (p<0.001). Using Bland-Altman plot, the 95% confidence interval of agreement between QGS and 4D-MSPECT ranged from -12.7% to 7.3% / from -12.2% to 6.5% (stress/rest). The agreement between QGS and echocardiography, 4D-MSPECT and echocardiography ranged from -17.4% to 24.0%, and -14.8% to 27.0% respectively. The correlation of LVM between methods was also good: 0.95 between QGS and 4D-MSPECT, 0.76 between QGS and echocardiography, 0.73 between 4D-MSPECT and echocardiography (p<0.001). The 95% confidence interval of agreement between QGS and 4D-MSPECT ranged from -33.8g to 14.1g (stress/rest), The 95% confidence interval of agreement between QGS and echocardiography, 4D-MSPECT and echocardiography ranged from -148.7 g to 21.8. g, and -142.8 g to 35.5 g, respectively. Conclusion: There was a good correlation for LVEF, LVEO, LVM among methods (QGS, 4D-MSPECT, echocardiography), but the variance between methods was big. Therefore, the functional parameters by each method cannot be used interchangeably.

The response of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars to mixtures of 2, 4-D(2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and other herbicides was investigated to determine if there was an interaction between them. When 2, 4-D was applied, shoot growth of Taipei 309 was more affected than that of IR28 at all concentrations used. In contrast, when thiobencarb (S-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]diethylcarbamothioate), butachlor [N-(buthoxymethyl) -2-chloro-N-(2, 6-diethylphenyl) acetamide], and glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] were applied, the shoot growth of Taipei 309 was less affected than that of IR28 at all herbicide concentrations. Combination of 2, 4-D and the lowest thiobencarb concentration was antagonistic for shoot length for both cultivars, but at higher concentrations, it was synergistic. Synergism for shoot fresh weight between 2, 4-D and thiobencarb was observed with IR28 at all concentrations but, for Taipei 309, synergism was observed only at lower 2, 4-D concentrations. Mixing 2. 4-D with butachlor resulted in greater inhibition in shoot length and fresh weight of IR28 than Taipei 309 at all concentrations indicating a synergistic interaction. With combinations of 2, 4-D and glyphosate, an antagonistic interaction for shoot length was observed for both cultivars. A synergistic interaction for shoot fresh weight was observed with IR28 when combinations of the highest concentration of glyphosate and 2, 4-D were applied but there was an antagonistic interaction with Taipei 309.

4D simulation integrates the 3 dimensional model of a building with the construction schedule, and it leads to the possibility of virtually checking the construction process and the building itself in advance. However, the existing problem of 4D simulation is the difference between the demands of architects, engineers, and construction site workers in 4D simulation. This study suggests the possible way to enhance the availability of 4D simulation, considering more the practical demands from the construction site. In order to conduct this study, we build a 3D BIM model of a business-residential complex and link the model with the pre-defined construction schedule in order to make a 4D simulation. This study concludes with the optimized 4D simulation methodology based on BIM model considering the demands in perspective of the construction site. It would contribute to the harmonic collaboration among architects, engineers, and labors in the construction site when using 4D simulation based on BIM model.

Ten multivoltine female parental lines were crossed with popular bivoltine male silkworm breed NB$_4$D$_2$. Three types of heterosis parameters viz., heterosis over mid-parental value (hybrid vigour), heterobeltiosis (useful heterosis) and standard heterosis (standard check) were estimated for 15 economically important quantitative traits. The interaction among the hybrids and parents indicated significant effect for maximum characters. The heterotic effect of new hybrid combination was compared with popular hybrids viz., Pure Mysore${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ and Nistari${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$. Varied heterotic effect was observed for different traits for different hybrid combination. The results inferred that the crosses viz., BL$_{23}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ ranked top for 14 traits followed by Hosa Mysore${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ for 11 traits; PA$_{12}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ for 9 traits; BL$_{24}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ for 8 traits; Kolar Gold${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ for 7 traits; WAI$_1$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ for 6 traits and MU$_{11}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ for 5 traits. Among these, the best hybrids Kolar Gold${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ and MU$_{11}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ were identified for longer filament length and fine denier. Similarly for higher cocoon yield and silk productivity BL$_{223}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ and BL$_{24}$${\times}$NB$_4$D$_2$ were found to be superior. These hybrid combinations are suitable for commercial exploitation at large scale.e.e.e.

Weeds may compete detrimentally with the ginseng for moisture and nutrients but hand weeding is the only practical means of eliminating weeds after crop establishment. To define the effects of 2, 4-D herbicide application on the plant growth and root yield of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer). the herbicide 2, 4-D was applied as a foliar spray with the rates of 0.5. 1.0. 1.5 and 2.0 times of the recommended herbicide dosage 70ml/l0a. The Korean ginseng treated with 2, 4-D in the rate of two times concentration was indistinguishable from nontreated plants in visual rating for foliar symptoms. There were no significant differences of the leaf length and width as well as the stem length and diameter in check plants and those recieving 2, 4-D treatments. The. berry maturing in 3 and 4-years old ginseng was not inhibited with 2, 4-D treatment. The root weight of the 4-years old ginseng plant was not reduced by 2, 4-D application of 2 times dosage. However. when the ginseng seedling was treated with 2, 4-D. detrimental phenomena as stem bending and dicoloration of marginal part of seedling leaf were occured but stem bending was recovered in a few days.

4D technology provides physical effects with the general videos or 3D videos. Implementing 4D technology, producing 4D metadata according to video play time and frame data is necessary. In this paper, we propose a method to provide physical effects by judging the temperature of video according to color information. In the proposed method, we provide physical effects to watcher by cognizing the color information in the video when a disaster such as fire is occurred. By using the method, it is expected that 4D matadata for sensing experience like heater device can be produced without programmers automatically.

Objects : Clozapine, prototype of the atypical neuroleptics, was known to have unique antipsychotic effect with a few extrapyramidal effects. While most typical antipsychotic agents mainly block $D_2$ receptors, clozapine has higher affinity for dopamine $D_4$ receptor than for $D_2$ receptor. Many researchers have tried to find out the relationship between schizophrenia and the abnormality of the genes coding dopamine receptors. But no consistent findings were reported. Recently, dopamine $D_4$ receptor was fully sequenced, and the alleles of dopamine $D_4$ receptor gene was found in unusual form on the 48th base pair. Our study was performed to identify the distribution of the dopamine $D_4$ receptor alleles of schizophrenics and normal controls, and whether any difference between the dopamine $D_4$ receptor alleles of schizophrenics and that of normal controls exists. Methods : DNA was extracted from the blood of schizophrenic patients(N=60) and normal controls(N=60). Part of the dopamine $D_4$ receptor gene was amplified by PCR, and amplified DNA was electrophoresed. Authors compared the distribution of the alleles of dopamine $D_4$ receptor gene of normal controls and that of schizophrenic patients. Results : Six kinds of alleles of $D_4$ receptor were observed both groups. The fourth repeat form of alleles was the most common in both schizophrenic patients(75.8%) and normal controls(70.3%), so there was not significant difference between two groups. Conclusion : The Difference in the distribution of the dopamine $D_4$ receptor gene alleles is not thought to be responsible for the pathophysiology of the schizophrenia. However, the difference in the expression of the dopamine $D_4$ receptor gene between normal and schizophrenia is left to be scrutinized.
