  • The authors have been discussed the optimal voltage regulation method and on-line real time method using artificial neural networks in the distribution system interconnected with Distributed Generation and Storage(DSG) systems. However, these methods have difficulty in dealing with the random load variations and operation characteristics of a number of DSG systems. To overcome these problems, this paper shows the basic concepts of smart grid system which is considered as one of the power delivery system in the near future and presents an evaluation method on the impacts of customer voltages by the operation of smart grid system. The smart grid system can change the system configuration in a flexible manner by using the static switches and offer the different power qualities in power services through the power quality control centers.

  • We characterized the one-electron reduction of oligodeoxynucleotides with a 2-oxopropyl group on a thymine base ($d^{oxo}T$) and applied the reaction to the radiolytic activation of DNAzyme function. We designed a system in which the DNAzyme function of cleaving mRNA was suppressed by introduction of $d^{oxo}T$ into the strand of DNAzyme. Hypoxic X-irradiation led to recovery of the cleavage ability because the 2-oxopropyl group was removed to form unmodified DNAzyme. We characterized the DNAzyme function by monitoring the fluorescence change of fluorophore- and quencher-labeled target strands. We confirmed that the DNAzyme function could be regulated by hypoxic X-irradiation and the reaction of $d^{oxo}T$.

  • This paper presents an individual cylinder spark advance control strategy based upon the location of peak pressure (LPP) in spark ignition engines using artificial neural networks. The LPP is estimated using a feedforward multi-layer perceptron network (MLPN), which needs only five samples of output voltage from the cylinder pressure sensor. The cyclic variation of LPP restricts the gain of the feedback controller, and results in poor regulation performance during the transient operation of the engine. The transient performance of the spark advance controller is improved by adding a feedforward controller which reflects the abrupt changes of the engine operating conditions such as engine speed and manifold absolute pressure (MAP)...

  • This study was analyzed and assessed the environmental factors on small marine ranching sites around Gunsan Coast, West Sea of Korea. Standards of assessment are followed in the reports on the choice of marine ranching sites and regulation factors of proper site on marine artificial reefs of MOMAF. Max. current speed around Gunsan were ranged between 25.52 ~ 57.49cm/sec. These values were satisfied by comparing assessment factor such as current speed.. Factors of temperature, salinity, transparency and pH were evaluated as the proper extent. DO was not distributed as the proper extent due to different criterion. between the same assessment factor. COD, SS and nutrients were partly suited to the criteria. Especially, SS was almost higher than that of criterion. So, we are proposed to be reflected in environment characteristics of West Coast such as SS. Moreover, the extent of pollution load factors have to be specified clearly in the regulations of assessment criteria.

  • Engineered DNA-binding domains provide a powerful technology for numerous biomedical studies due to their ability to recognize specific DNA sequences. Zinc fingers (ZF) are one of the most common DNA-binding domains and have been extensively studied for a variety of applications, such as gene regulation, genome engineering and diagnostics. Another novel DNA-binding domain known as a transcriptional activator-like effector (TALE) has been more recently discovered, which has a previously undescribed DNA-binding mode. Due to their modular architecture and flexibility, TALEs have been rapidly developed into artificial gene targeting reagents. Here, we describe the methods used to design these DNA-binding proteins and their key applications in biomedical research.

  • In the course of the emergence and development of new ICT technologies and services such as Big Data, Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, the future will change by these new innovations in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The future of this fourth industrial revolution will change and our future will be data-based society or economy. Since there is personal information at the center of it, the development of the economy through the utilization of personal information will depend on how to make the personal information protection laws. In Korea, which is trying to lead the 4th industrial revolution, it is a legal interest that can not give up the use of personal information, and also it is an important legal benefit that can not give up the personal interests of individuals who want to protect from personal information. Therefore, it is necessary to change the law on personal information protection in a rational way to harmonize the two. In this regard, this article discusses the problems of duplication and incompatibility of the personal information protection law, the scope of application of the personal information protection law and the uncertainty of the judgment standard, the lack of flexibility responding to the demand for the use of reasonable personal information, And there is a problem of reverse discrimination against domestic area compared to the regulated blind spot in foreign countries. In order to solve these problems and to improve the legislation of personal information protection in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, we proposed to consider both personal information protection and safe use by improving the purpose and regulation direction of the personal information protection law. The balance and harmony between the systematical maintenance of the personal information protection legislation and laws and regulations were also set as important directions. It is pointed out that the establishment of rational judgment criteria and the legislative review to clarify it are necessary for the constantly controversial personal information definition regulation and the method of allowing anonymization information as the intermediate domain. In addition to the legislative review for the legitimate and non-invasive use of personal information, there is a need to improve the collective consent system for collecting personal information to differentiate the subject and to improve the legislation to ensure the effectiveness of the regulation on the movement of personal information between countries. In addition to the issues discussed in this article, there may be a number of challenges, but overall, the protection and use of personal information should be harmonized while maintaining the direction indicated above.

  • The objective of this study was to improve the reproductive ability of Thoroughbred mares with artificial estrous regulation by hormone treatments and artificial illumination. The results were as follows; Estrous detection in cycling mares which were treated $PGF_2{\alpha}$ or altrenogest administration was all 100%, and pregnancy rates were 95.2% and 71.4%, respectively. Estrous detection was 100% within March when altrenogest was administered alone or together with estradiol for non-pregnant mares in the previous year. Interval to estrous detection after altrenogest administration was 4.3 days in single administration of altrenogest and 3.7 days in combined administrations of altrenogest and estradiol, respectively Interval to ovulation after estrous detection were 2.7 and 2.5days, respectively. Pregnancy rate following single altrenogest administration was 80.0%. Estrous detection and pregnancy rates by artificial illumination in non-pregnant mares were 92.9% and 46.9%, respectively. These results show that estrous synchronization of mares during breeding season will be able to improve the pregnancy rate, and altrenogest administration in non-pregnant mares in the previous year will be able to induce early reproduction and improve pregnancy rate In racing horses.

  • The physiological role of brain somatostatin in the central regulation of feed intake in sheep was investigated through a continuous intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of somatostastin 1-28 (SRIF) at a small dose of $5{\mu}g/0.2ml/hr$ for 98.5 hours from day 1 to day 5. Sheep (n=5) were fed for 2 hours once a day, and water and 0.5 M NaCI solution were given ad libitum. Feed, water and salt intake were measured during ICV infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and SRIF. The feed intake during SRIF infusion on days 2 to 5 increased significantly compared to that during CSF infusion. Water intake, when compared to that during CSF infusion, only increased significantly on day 4. NaCI intake during SRIF infusion was not different from that during CSF infusion. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate during SRIF infusion were not different from those during CSF infusion. The plasma concentrations of Na, K, Cl, osmolality and total protein during SRIF infusion were also not different from those values during CSF infusion.There are two possible mechanisms, that is, the suppression of brain SRIF on feed suppressing hormones and the direct actions on brain mechanisms controlling feed intake, explaining how SRIF works in the brain to bring about increases in feed intake in sheep fed on hay. The results indicate that brain SRIF increases feed intake in sheep fed on hay.

  • Lactogenesis in mammary gland is under the control of various lactogenic hormones including hypophysial growth hormone and prolactin. Recent studies reported that such pituitary lactogenic hormones are also expressed in mammary cells as well as in pituitary. For the purpose to analyze the role of these non-pituitary hormones in mammary cells, $\beta$ -lactoglobulin (BLG) gene promoter was selected as a model system. The growth hormone suppressed BLG promoter activity when it was applied alone on cultured mammary HCll cells. Along with lactogenic hormones such as insulin, prolactin and glucocorticoid, however, it significantly enhanced expression of BLG promoter activity in a dosage- dependent manner. Exogenous expression of the growth hormone gene in cultured mammary cells also strongly promoted cell proliferation and BLG promoter activity. Bovine growth hormone promoter, on the contrary, did not revealed any notable activity. Above results suggest that endogenous expression of the pituitary hormone genes in mammary cells is not a regulation leakage but a physiological control. Moreover, artificial overproduction of the growth hormone in mammary gland may help increase milk production.
