The Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) existing in a water includes both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances however, most of the discussion focuses on hydrophobic substances. The hydrophobic fraction was easily removed by absorption or coagulation more than hydrophilic fraction. Therefore, control of the hydrophilic fraction is very important in water treatment process. This study is to determine the variation of DOC, the removal efficiency of DOC, and Trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) after each stage of water treatment process by fractionating Natural Organic Matters (NOM) into hydrophobic and hydrophilic substance. DOC from raw water was fractionated at acidic pH (pH<2) using XAD 8 resin column, into two fraction : hydrophobic substance (i.e. humic substance) adsorbed on XAD 8 and hydrophilic substance which represent the organics contained in the final effluent. THMFP was carried out according to the following set condition: Cl2/DOC=4 mg/mg, incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ in darkness, pH 7 adjust with HCl or NaOH as necessary, and 72hour-contact time. THMs analyzed in this study were chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethan, and bromoform. Sewage was almost evenly split between the hydrophobic (56%) and hydrophilic fraction (44%). But, Aldrich humic substance (AHS) was found to contain less hydrophilics (14%) than hydrophobics (86%). The formation of THMs may depend on the source which is characterized by the composition of organic matters such as AHS and sewage. The THMFP yield of sewage and AHS were assessed as follows. The value of the THMFP reaction yield, AHS $172.65{\mu}g/mg$, is much higher than that of sewage $41.68{\mu}g/mg$. This illustrates possible significant difference in THMFP according to the component type and the proportion of organic matter existing in water source. Apparently AHS react with chlorine to produce more THMFP than do the smaller molecules found in sewage. Water treatment process may reduce THMFP, nevertheless residual DOC (the more hydrophilic substance) has significant THMFP. Further reduction in organic halide precursors requires application of alternative treatment techniques.

This paper considers the problem of longitudinal control of a platoon of automotive vehicles on a straight lane of a highway and proposes control laws in the event of loss of communication between the lead vehicle and the other vehicles in the platoon. Since safety plays a key role in the development of an Automated Highway System, fault-tolerant control is vital. In this paper, we develop a control algorithm in vehicle platooning and prove that this control algorithm is stable for certain class of faults such as parameter uncertainties. The performance of the controller is demonstrated through a series of simulations incorporating various vehicles and AHS faults. Results of simulation shows that the vehicles have good performance in spite of simple automotive and AHS failure, such as actuator failure,that is to say, engine input failure, communication failure between lead vehicle and the another vehicles.

The aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs), which include benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and dioxin, are important chemical and environmental contaminants in industry that usually cause various diseases. Over the years, numerous studies have described and evaluated the adverse health effects induced by AHs. Currently, "Omics" technologies, transcriptomics and proteomics, have been applied in AH toxicity studies. Proteomics has been used to identify molecular mechanisms and biomarkers associated with global chemical toxicity. It could enhance our ability to characterize chemical-induced toxicities and to identify noninvasive biomarkers. The proteomic approach (e.g. 2-dimensional electrophoresis [2-DE]), can be used to observe changes in protein expression during chemical exposure with high sensitivity and specificity. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and electrospray ionization-quadrupole (ESI-Q)-TOF MS/MS are recognized as the most important protein identification tools. This review describes proteomic technologies and their application in the proteomic analysis of AH toxicity.

In this paper, we design a hybrid controller for a safe lane change maneuver in automated highway systems(AHS). The proposed hybrid controller consists of a supervisor which controls the behaviors of discrete-event dynamic systems, and a regulator which controls the operations of continuous-variable dynamic systems. The supervisor determines whether the system starts a maneuver or not, via a condition for a safety, and gives orders to the regulator for performing the maneuvers. And the regulator tracks the planned path generated in the supervisor. The conditions for a safe lane change maneuver are proposed using the velocity, the acceleration, and geometrical relationship of vehicles.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the acupuncture at affected limb and unaffected limb on treating ankle sprain of acute stage. Methods : From October 1st, 2007 to March 23rd, 2008, the 60 patients who had visited Dongshin mokdong oriental medical hospital and Gwangju oriental medical hospital, Dongshin university with acute ankle sprain were divided into 2 groups ; one group took acupuncture at affected limb, and the other group took acupuncture at unaffected limb. To evaluating the efficiency of each treatment, Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Ankle-Hindfoot Scale(AHS) were applied before treatment and after 3rd treatment. Results : As a result of evaluating by using VAS, the score of acupuncture at unaffected limb was marked lower than the score of acupuncture at affected limb. As a result of evaluating by using AHS, the score comparison between the two groups had no significance after treatment. Conclusions : Acupuncture at unaffected limb is more effective than acupuncture at affected limb on treating ankle sprain of acute stage.

기제안된 적응형 계층 육각 탐색은 적응형 육각 탐색에 기반한 고속의 계층형 블록 정합 알고리즘의 일종이다. 적응형 계층 육각 탐색은 고속 움직임 탐색이 가능한 적응형 육각 탐색의 장점을 유지하면서도 시공간 움직임 활동도가 높은 비디오 시퀀스에서 흔히 발생되는 국부 최소 문제를 적응적으로 경감시킬 수 있는 것이 특징이다. 본 논문은 적응형 계층 육각 탐색의 예측 화질을 개선하기 위해 이 탐색의 수평 편향 패턴과 수직 편향 패턴을 효과적으로 확장하는 방법을 제안함에 그 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 움직임 특성을 갖는 복수의 동영상 시퀀스들에 대한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과를 토대로 예측 화질과 연산 시간 측면에서 제안된 방법의 성능을 분석 평가하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법이 작은 움직임 탐색과 큰 움직임 탐색에 모두 적합함을 보여주었다. 제안된 방법은 육각 탐색 패턴의 확장 과정에서 추가적인 연산량 증가를 초래했지만 이 연산량의 증가에 상응하는 예측 화질 개선을 기할 수 있었다.

Objectives : This study was planned to show the influences of acupuncture treatment on peroneus muscles of acute inversion ankle sprain patients. Methods : This study was carried out on the 24 patients who had been treated for their acute inversion ankle sprain from July 1 to December 31, 2010 in the department of oriental rehibilitaion medicine, Dongsuwon oriental medicine hospital. And we divided those 24 patients into 2 groups; group A took near acupuncture point needling treatment on the peroneus muscles along with common treatment, group B took common treatment only. To evaluate the efficiency of each treatment, all patients were examined with visual analogue scale(VAS) and ankle-hindfoot scale(AHS) score before treatment and after the 3rd treatment. Results : On the AHS scores, there's no significant difference between the two groups after the treatment. And on the VAS scores, group A who took near acupuncture point needling treatment on the peroneus muscles along with common treatment showed higher change of VAS than group B who took common treatment only, but it did not show statistical significance in VAS score. Conclusions : In this study, there is no significant effect between common treatment only and near acupuncture point needling treatment on the peroneus muscles along with common treatment for acute ankle sprain.

목적 : 급성기 족관절 염좌 환자에 있어서 자락발관법이 실제 효과가 있는지 근거 중심 의학(Evidence Based Medicine)적으로 연구된 사례가 드물어서 이를 객관적으로 검증하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 골절이 배제되고, 명백한 외상력이 있으며, 발병 후 1주일 이내에 내원하였으며 다른 치료를 받지 않은 환자 29명을 대상으로 무작위로 실험군과 대조군으로 나누어 자락발관법 유무의 차이를 두고 시술하였다. 치료시작점과 3회 시술 후 Ankle-Hindfood Scale(AHS)와 Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)을 평가하여 비교 분석하였다. 결과 : 29명중 19명이 최종 평가되었다. 자락발관법을 시행한 실험군(n=11)이 자락발관법을 시행하지 않은 대조군(n=8)에 대해 AHS와 NRS 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.041, 0. 026). 결론 : 급성기 족관절 염좌에 있어 자락발관법의 시행은 통증을 비롯한 증상 감소에 객관적인 효과가 있다.
