Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), which is an element of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), is a widely used material handling equipment with conveyors and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Until now the evaluation of operational policies of AS/RS and control algorithms is done theoretically or by computer simulations. In this study, a real-time control and communication software for an AS/RS is developed for actually moving AS/RS miniature. A PC-based real-time operational program can control the AS/RS directly through the communication port. The operational system has additional functions such as storage/retrieval management, inventory management, statistics management, and protocol simulation. The communication protocol simulator of S/R machine can be used for the controller of an S/R machine.

In order to observe the effects of resistant starches on the physio-nutrition in women, nine female university students were investigated using cellulose (CED), resistant starch 3 (RS3D) and resistant starch 4 (RS4D) diets. Each woman's daily intake and excretions of energy, protein and lipid were mesured together with the apparent digestibility and the amounts of total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were measured. The results obtained from this researh are as follows. The daily energy intake were significantly higher in the RS4D (Resistant starch 4 diet) compared with the CED(Cellulose) and the RS3D (Resistant starch 3 diet). The metabolic energy in those periods with RS added to their diets were significantly higher whereas the metabolic energy in the period CED was significantly low. The daily protein intake was significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED and the RS3D. The apparent digestibility of protein was significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED and the RS3D. The daily lipid intake was significantly higher in the CED compared with the RS3D and the RS4D. The apparent digestibility of lipid was not significant in that period. The concentration of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, % of HDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index (A.I.) were not significant in those period. As the above results indicate, while RS3 appear to have similar effect on energy consumption rate, apparent protein digestibility and content of cholesterol in plasma, compared with the CED, but energy consumption rate and apparent digestibility of protein are significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED. Thus, it appears that cellulose and RS 3 share similar effects on physio-nutrition in human, while RS4 does not have the similar effects. (Korean J Nutrition 35(9) : 932∼942, 2002)

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a disease that is accompanied by various metabolic related problems and refers to a disease in which various adult diseases occur along with obesity. These metabolic syndromes appear according to the individual's genetic background. APOA5-ZPR1-BUD13, a gene cluster belonging to chromosome 11q23.3, is well known for its risk of plasma triglycerides and coronary artery disease. Recently, the GWAS results for metabolic syndrome were published in Koreans. The results included the APOA5-ZPR1-BUD13, and the SNPs that first appeared in Koreans in the ZPR1 and BUD13 were also discovered. In this study, the reproducibility was investigated for the newly discovered ZPR1 (rs964184) and BUD13 (rs2075295, rs1558861) using The Health Examinees (HEXA) cohort and showed significance. In addition, BUD13 (rs117548857, rs10488698, rs149527022, rs10790162), ZPR1 (rs2075290, rs145796806, rs201247587), APOA5 (rs12791103, rs1263173, rs7396835, rs17520254) were additionally discovered and significant results were obtained. For the SNPs that showed significant results, the effect on protein expression and the effect of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) were also confirmed. This study is expected to contribute to the prevention and treatment of diseases with differences in onset based on individual genetic patterns as well as presenting the effect of genetic mutations in the APOA5-ZPR1-BUD13 on metabolic syndrome and blood lipid levels.

In this paper, the performance analysis of telemetering method using delayed frame time diversity (DFTD) as the outer code and Reed-Solomon (RS) code as the inner code is described. DFTD is used to transmit a real-time frame together with a time-delayed frame which was saved in the memory during a defined period. The RS code as a kind of FEC (forward error correction) is serially concatenated with DFTD. This method was applied to the design of telemetry units that have been used for flight tests in a communication environment with deep fading. The data of the flight test for four cases with no applied code, with DFTD only, with the RS code only, and with both DFTD and the RS code are used to analyze the performance. The simulation for time-delay suggests the possibility that all frame errors can be removed. And the results of 12 flight tests show the performance superiority of this new method to compare with the RS code only.

Background: Studying the ecosystem carbon cycle requires analysis of interrelationships between soil respiration (Rs) and the environment to evaluate the balance. Various methods and instruments have been used to measure Rs. The closed chamber method, which is currently widely used to determine Rs, creates a closed space on the soil surface, measures $CO_2$ concentration in the inner space, and calculates Rs from the increase. Accordingly, the method is divided into automatic or manual chamber methods (ACM and MCM, respectively). However, errors of these methods and differences in instruments are unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the characteristics and difference of Rs values calculated using both methods with actual data. Results: Both methods determined seasonal variation patterns of Rs, reflecting overall changes in soil temperature (Ts). ACM clearly showed detailed changes in Rs, but MCM did not, because such small changes are unknown as Rs values are collected monthly. Additionally, Rs measured using MCM was higher than that using ACM and differed depending on measured plots, but showed similar tendencies with all measurement times and plots. Contrastingly, MCM Rs values in August for plot 4 were very high compared with ACM Rs values because of soil disturbances that easily occur during MCM measurements. Comparing Rs values calculated using monthly means with those calculated using MCM, the ACM calculated values for monthly averages were higher or lower than those of similar measurement times using the MCM. The difference between the ACM and MCM was attributed to greater or lesser differences. These Rs values estimated the carbon released into the atmosphere during measurement periods to be approximately 57% higher with MCM than with ACM, at 5.1 and $7.9C\;ton\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. Conclusion: ACM calculated average values based on various Rs values as high and low for measurement periods, but the MCM produced only specific values for measurement times as representative values. Therefore, MCM may exhibit large errors in selection differences during Rs measurements. Therefore, to reduce this error using MCM, the time and frequency of measurement should be set to obtain Rs under various environmental conditions. Contrastingly, the MCM measurement is obtained during $CO_2$ evaluation in the soil owing to soil disturbance caused by measuring equipment, so close attention should be paid to measurements. This is because the measurement process is disturbed by high $CO_2$ soil concentration, and even small soil disturbances could release high levels into the chamber, causing large Rs errors. Therefore, the MCM should be adequately mastered before using the device to measure Rs.

Shuttle-Based Storage/Retrieval System (SBS/RS) is relatively new to industry. The system is in the category of Automated Storage/Retrieval System (AS/RS), but it is different in that the SBS/RS uses shuttles as Storage/Retrieval (SR) machine instead using a stacker crane. The shuttles are assigned to each tier on multi-tier system and operated for pick-up or drop-off order. Since the system can handle multiple orders simultaneously, it can provide much higher throughput than that of general AS/RS with single stocker crane. Thus, this new system is well fit to recent tendency of increasing small quantity batch production and orders. One of the drawback of this system is that it needs a lot of investment to set up. The efficient operation of the system would be one of the critical matters to increase economic efficiency of capital investment. In this study, we focused on the dwell point policy for shuttles to find efficient way of operating the system. There are four basic policies for the dwell point and we had simulation-based experiment for two different scenarios based on the speed of the shuttle and inter-arrival time of the loads coming to the system combined with four different policies. As it was mentioned above, this SBS/RS relatively new to the field and there is no such experiment shown on previous research and the study of dwell point policy for this SBS/RS could provide the direct comparison of each policy with different hardware specification; the capability of the system. The policy that achieves most efficient operation among the given environment is proposed and the usability of the system is discussed.

The objective of this study was to compare the textural properties and sensory evaluation of Injulmi, a traditional Korean waxy rice cake, added with 10, 20 and 30% of RS3-type resistant starch. RS3-type resistant starch was prepared from nonwaxy rice(Odaebyeo) starch by autoclaving-cooling cycle. The RS yield of RS3-type resistant starch was 9.10%. By increasing the addition level of RS3-type resistant starch, the hardness and adhesiveness of Injulmi increased as measured by using a rheometer. Hunter color L and a values of Injulmi added with RS3-type resistant starch were increased, but b value was decreased. In case of sensory evaluation, the hardness of Injulmi added with RS3-type resistant starch was higher than that of non-added Injulmi. The overall duality of Injulmi added with RS3-type resistant starch by sensory evaluation was negatively correlated with the hardness measured by rheometer(p＜.0.05).

This study was investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes which were prepared b replacing 30% of flour with raw starch and resistant starches, such as, 4 cycled autoclaved-cooled RS 3 maize starch(RS 3), cross-linked RS 4 maize starch (RS 4) was superior to control cake( 100% flour cake). Addition of starches except RS 3 made crust and crumb color lighter and decreased hardness. Especially, cake containing RS 4 had the softest texture. For the adhesiveness and cohesiveness, cake containing RS 4 showed the least changes during 5 storage days. In DSC measurement, cakes containing RS 4 and ARS 4 showed high enthalpy in despite of low hardness. Sensory evaluation showed that cakes containing RS 4 and ARS 4 were significantly moist and soft compared to others. Overall acceptability of cakes containing starch, RS 4 and ARS 4 were evaluated excellent. Therefore, it can be suggested that RS 4 and ARS 4 can be added to the sponge cake for the quality improvement and functional element.
