In this paper, we propose the dynamic modeling, path planning and tracking algorithms of 4-wheeled 2-d.o.f.(degree of freedom) mobile robot(WMR). The gaussian functions are applied to design the smooth path of WMR. To calculate the WMR position in real time, we use three components of inertial measurement units(IMU). These units have initial error because of the rotation rate of earth, gravity acceleration and so on. Therefore we derive the initial error model of IMU, and compare the fitness diagnosis about probability characteristics of real data adn estimated data. The performance of IMU with error model and Kalman filter is compared to that without filter and error model. The simulation results show that the proposed dynamic model, path planning and tracking algorithms are more useful than the conventional control algorithm.

Neural networks, having highly nonlinear dynamics by virtue of the distributed nonlinearities and the learing ability, have the potential for the adaptive prediction of nonstationary signals. This paper describes the nonlinear prediction of these signals in two ways; using a nonlinear module and the cascade combination of nonlinear and linear modules. Fully-connected recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and a conventional tapped-delay-line (TDL) filter are used as the nonlinear and linear modules respectively. The dynamic behavior of the proposed predictors is demonstrated for chaotic time series adn speech signals. For the relative comparison of prediction performance, the proposed predictors are compared with a conventional ARMA linear prediction model. Experimental results show that the neural networks based adaptive predictor ourperforms the traditional linear scheme significantly. We also find that the cascade combination predictor is well suitable for the prediction of the time series which contain large variations of signal amplitude.

This study was carried out investigate hygienic conditions of domestic packing plant for export and the shelf-life by Japanese standards. vacuum packaged chilled port loins provided by five packers(A, B, C, D and E) were transported to Japan in the same condition, Four packers(A, B, C adn d) produced the samples as hygienic as possible and one packer produced loins in the traditional hygienic condition, In TTC(2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride) test all samples showed the negative reaction from the date of the quarantine(14 days after slaughtering) to 50 days The numbers of total plate count(TPC) of A, B, C and D packers that were below 108CFU/g until 50 days were accepted by Japanese Standards but TPC of E packer was over 107CFU/g at 30 days. VBN values increased sig-nificantly(P<0.01) in samples of A,B and D packers in the samples of C packer and E packer at 5% and 0.1% level respectively. The pH values of the vacuum packaged chilled pork for export at 14 days after slaughtering were 5.43∼6.00 In sensory evaluation, A, B, C and D packers which improved hygi-enic condition produced the products with good color and appearance. low drip until 40 days storage at $0^{\circ}C$ But as the storage time increase off-flavor occured at 40days in A and D packer and at 50days in B and C packer. In conclusion according to the above results of microbiological physicochemical and sensory evalution the edible periods of Korean vacuum package chilled porks may be estimated to 40∼50 days for the packers who improved hygienic condition and the shelf lives were calculated as 32∼40 days from edible period by a factor of 0.8(safety coefficient) while that of the pork from E packer which was produced in the traditional hygienic condition was estimated to 30 days after slaughtering at $0^{\circ}C$ Therefore the shelf-life of the pork of E packer would be only 24 days.

Recently, much research on XML query processing considering the structural characteristics of XML documents is conducted, focusing primarily on the development and/or extension of XML query languages and on query optimization for effective retrieval of XML documents. In the XML repository, the XML views derived from the underlying XML documents could be stored materialized for effective retrieval of XML documents, and could be capitalized on for XML query processing In this paper, assuming that the XML views defined in XQL are materialized in the repository, we investigate XQL query processing that capitalizes on them. We describe the storage structure of the XML repository which supports the materialized views, and propose an algorithm that determines whether the given XQL query can be processed with the relevant materialized view adn accordingly transforms the original query into one against it.

History will be defined as a science on human beings in both space and time(des hommes dans le temps et l'espace). Navigational History is a premise to compose Maritime History. Maritime History is a branch of General History which is classified on the basis of space and will be definded as a branch of history to examine 'inter-realtions between maritime affairs and inland affairs'. Then, what kind of 'go by sea'can be a subject of Navigational History ? A research-subject of Navigational History must be navigation rather than sail or voyage. Because while 'sail' means to 'passive and noncommercial sailing' and voyage means to journeyin a general sense that includes sail and navigation, navigation means to indicate ' to go from one place to another in a ship' adn 'to convoy goods by water'. Then, how can we define Navigation History? Navigational History in a narrow sense is to be a field of studying 'process of development of nautical science and seamanship on the side of History ofScience and Techique, whereas Navigational History in a broad sense is to be a field of analyzing 'effects of historical navigation upon history on the side of General History. On studying Navigational History in a narrow sense, there are signifiacances of disclosing what the development of nautical instruments and arts of navigation have played a role in history. Navigational History in a broad sense is a branch of General History to study effects of historical navigation upon history. In conclusion, the significance of studying Navigation History is to disclose process of developmentof arts of navigation, and on the basis of this study is to reveal how the human elements operate in historical navigation. In short, it should not cease to study Navigational History in a narrow sense, and should enlarge its perspective of research toward Navigational History in a broad sense.

This paper presents an algorithm for scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems. To simplify the scheduling for soft real-time systems, we introduce two-level deadline scheme. Each job in the system has two deadlines, which we call first-level and second-level deadlines, respectively. The first-level deadline is the same as the deadline in traditional real-time systems. The second-level deadline is later than the first-level deadline, and defines the latest point in time when the result is still acceptable. Partial-credit is given for jobs meeting the second-level deadline but missing the first-level deadline, whereas jobs meeting the latter are given full credit. We heuristically compute priorities of jobs in a dynamic way by combining the first-level adn second-level deadlines with the partial-credit. Simulation results indicate that our two-level scheduling algorithm is a viable approach for dealing with both soft real-time systems and temporary overloaded hard real-time systems.

This study was edsigne to investgate the effect of pine needle extract (PNE) on lipid adn oxygen radical metabolisms in serum of Sprague-Dawly (SD). Pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb et Zucc.) is one of the popular plant drugs which gas been used as a medicine in Asia. Male SD rats were fed basic (control group) and experimental diets(RGE group) with 0.5 and 1.0% of PNE for 6 weeks. Body weights gain in 0.5-PNE and 1.0-PNE groups were slightly lower than that in control group, but ther is no significant differences brtween these groups. Total energy intake, feed and gross efficiencies showed almost no change in these groups. Total cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels in serumof SD rats in .50-PNE and 0.1-PNE froups sho9wed almost no change colpared with control group. Serum LDL-cholesterol levels significantly decreased (12%) in 0.5-PNE group, while serum HDL-cholesterol levels significantly increased(14%) in 1.0-PNE group compared with control group. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipid peroxide (LPO) levels in 50-PNE and 0.1-PNE groups were significantly lower (17 and 13%, 24% and 12%, respectively) than those in control group. Superoxide disumutase (SOD) activity in 50-PNE and 0.1-PNE groups significantly increased about 30 to 15% compared with control group. There results suggest that lower LDL-cholesterol and LPO levels, higher HDL-cholsterol level, and higher SOD activity in serum of rats may be effectively modulated by administration of pine needle extract(PNE).

This study used questionnaires to investigate the safety awareness for imported foods by 365 male and female adults in Taejon. The results of the study were as follow : By factor analysis, the subjects' behaviors and awareness of the imported food was grouped into 3 factors such as 'health and quality factor', 'purchasing factor' and 'contamination factor'. 'Health and quality factor' and 'purchasing factor' were not recognized negatively by the subjects, moreover' contamination factor' was recognized very highly. The subjects' concern and worry about the imported food was also very high. The marital status, education level, nutriton knowledge adn recognition level of contamination by pesticides and heavy metals of foods partially affected the recognitio level of imported foods. The major selection criteria of imported food were distribution period(36.3%), price(28.8%) and purchasing experience(17.3%). The imported food mean discrimination score was 8.4±3.1 out of 13. The worst discriminatio score was red pepper. The subjects' experiences with imported foods selection affected the most instead of education level or nutrition knowledge. The higher discrimination score group more negatively recognized imported food and contamination recognition level was higher whereas the lowerdiscrimination score group more positively recognized the purchasing frequency and with to buy more easily. But both groups desired to reinforce contamination control. The better discrimination score of imported food pooring recognized sanitation concerns(p<0.05), quality(p<0.05), cooking convenience(p<0.01), desire for more variety(p<0.05), and the higher contamination recognition level(p<0.05) and desire to reinforce contamination control(p<0.01).

Nutrigenomics refers to research that investigates the interaction between nutrition and the human genome. Caffeine in tea and coffee is widely and routinely consumed by people. This study was performed to confirm the effect of caffeine treatment on the gene expression and cytokine profiling in 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells using microarray and protein array methodology. Treatment of caffeine in 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells increased expression of several genes related with obesity including adipocyte C1Q and collagen domain containing (ACDC), Adipsin (ADN), uncoupling protein 3(UCP3), while glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which is known as lipid storage enzyme, was decreased by caffeine treatment. Furthermore, cytokines, such as interleukin-3 (IL-3), interleukin-12(IL-12), interleukin-13 (IL-13), granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), were decreased in caffeine treated 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells. These results provided interesting information about the genes related with caffeine and cytokine expression profiling in obesity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the intake of Cr, Cu, and Zn, which play important roles in lipid metabolism, and the relationship of these microminerals with serum lipids of healthy college living in the Choongnam area. The nutritional status of the subjects(35 women) was evaluated based on anthropometric measurements, 24-hr dietary recall for 3 days. Three-day meals and fasting blood were collected to analyze Cr, Cu, and Zn. The mean age, height, weight and BMI were 20 years, 158 cm, 55kg and 22.42kg/$m^2$ respectively. The mean daily energy intake was 85.9% of RDA for Koreans. The ratio of energy from carbohydrate, protein and fat was 60 : 24 : 16. The mean daily intake of Cr, Cu, and Zn was 60.07 $\mu\textrm{g}$/day, 2.64 mg/day, and 11.35 mg/day, respectively. The mean serum levels of Cr, Cu, and Zn were 143$\mu$g/dl, 81.34$\mu$g/dl, adn 101.54$\mu$g/dl, respectively. The mean serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol were 158.56mg/dl, 29.27 mg/dl, 56.00mg/dl, 6.12mg/dl, respectively. In conclusion, the subjects of the present study were healthy and consumed normal levls of dietary Cr, Cu and Zn, which play roles in lipid metabolism. Therefore, serum lipids of the subjects were all in the normal range. There was no significant correlation between dietary microminerals and serum lipids.
