연결수락제어(CAC : Connection Admission Control)는 ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)망내에 새로운 호의 연결이 요구되었을 때 이 새로운 연결호의 서비스품질을 만족하고, 충분한 자원이 망내에 확보되어 있는 가를 확인한 후 기존에 연결된 호의 서비스 질을 저하시키지 않는 지의 여부를 판단하여 연결 수락 또는 거절을 결정하는 기능을 말한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 적응적 연결수락제어방법은 신고치와 측정치를 이용하여 트래픽을 예측하는 방법으로서, 신고치를 이용한 트래픽 예측은 호 연결 또는 호 해제 시에 회귀적(recursive) 방법으로 계산되며, 측정치를 이용한 트래픽 예측은 측정반영율 및 측정 반영주기는 트래픽 흐름의 변화를 정확히 추정하고 측정에 의한 예측 오차를 줄이는데 중요한 파라미터이다. 본 논문에서는 측정 반영율의 적응적 조정을 위해 트래픽 흐름의 변화가 크게 일어나는 시점인 연결 수락 또는 연결 해제 시점을 기준으로 하여 그 이후의 경과 시간에 따라 측정 반영율을 변화시키는 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에 대해 동질 트래픽과 이질 트래픽의 경우에서 성능평가를 수행한 결과 적응적 연결수락제어방법이 이용율과 서비스품질(QOS : Quality Of Service)관점에서 기존의 연결수락제어방법보다 개선됨을 확인하였다.

An accurate prediction of blooming date is crucial for many authorities to schedule and organize successful spring flower festivals in Korea. The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has been using regression models combined with a subjective correction by forecasters to issue blooming date forecasts for major cities. Using mean monthly temperature data for February (observed) and March (predicted), they issue blooming date forecasts in late February to early March each year. The method has been proved accurate enough for the purpose of scheduling spring festivals in the relevant cities, but cannot be used in areas where no official climate and phenology data are available. We suggest a thermal time-based two-step phenological model for predicting the blooming dates of spring flowers, which can be applied to any geographic location regardless of data availability. The model consists of two sequential periods: the rest period described by chilling requirement and the forcing period described by heating requirement. It requires daily maximum and minimum temperature as an input and calculates daily chill units until a pre-determined chilling requirement for rest release. After the projected rest release date, it accumulates daily heat units (growing degree days) until a pre- determined heating requirement for flowering. Model parameters were derived from the observed bud-burst and flowering dates of cherry tree (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea) at KMA Seoul station along with daily temperature data for 1923-1950. The model was applied to the 1955-2004 daily temperature data to estimate the cherry blooming dates and the deviations from the observed dates were compared with those predicted by the KMA method. Our model performed better than the KMA method in predicting the cherry blooming dates during the last 50 years (MAE = 2.31 vs. 1.58, RMSE = 2.96 vs. 2.09), showing a strong feasibility of operational application.

합성섬유를 주 여재로 충진한 실험실 규모의 수직 지하흐름형 습지를 제작하여 인공축산단지 강우유출수 처리시험을 수행하였다. 3개의 습지에 대하여 수리학적 체류시간은 각각 2, 4, 8일 로 운전하였으며 매일 1회씩 내부순환을 실시하였다. 운전기간 동안에 매일 일반적인 수질인자에 대하여 모니터링을 실시하였으며 갑자기 HRT에 따라 순차적으로 거품이 발생되면서 처리수의 COD가 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 따라서 연구의 방향을 거품의 발생원인을 분석하는데 초점을 맞추게 되었으며 거품의 출처 및 유기물질 농도의 증가는 습지에 충진한 폴리프로필렌 합성섬유가 분해되면서 방출된 것으로 분석되었다. 거품의 발생 및 유기물질의 농도증가는 질소제거의 효율증가와 밀접한 관련이 있었으며 2가지의 중요한 역할을 수행한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 먼저 거품은 습지내부에서 질산화에 필요한 산소를 억류하면서(hold-up) 질산화를 촉진시키며 거품에 내재된 유기물질은 탈질에 필요한 탄소원으로 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 거품발생시기와 질소제거효율이 증가한 시기가 일치한 것으로 보인다. 이후에 거품문제가 사라지면서 질소제거 수준은 서서히 감소하여 이전의 거품이 없던 시기로 회귀하였다.

본 연구에서는 현재 상업용으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 멀티시스템형 에어컨실외기의 화재 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 에어컨실외기의 실물 연소실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 에어컨실외기는 내부 폭발과 상부 배출 그릴을 통한 급격한 화염분출 및 화재확산을 보였으며, 이는 실외기 내부에 내장된 전선, 전자 제어판, 열교환용 동판 및 합성수지류 등의 가연물이 연소하고 냉매가스가 충전된 배관이 가열로 인해 파괴되어 냉매가스가 분출되면서 화재폭발과 외부로 화염분출을 가속시켜 일어난 것이다. 본 실험에서 에어컨실외기의 최고 열방출율은 5,830 kW로 나타났으며, 열화상 카메라 및 열전대에 의해 측정된 실외기의 내부 온도는 최고 $1,201^{\circ}C$이고, 외부온도는 최고 $881^{\circ}C$ 이상, 화염의 길이는 약 5 m 이상 상승하였다. 그러므로 에어컨실외기의 화재는 주변 가연물을 발화시키는 원인으로 작용하여 건축물에 2차 화재를 발생시킴으로써 큰 피해를 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 실물실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 컴퓨터시뮬레이션에서 에어컨실외기의 화재구현 및 주변 가연물로의 화재 확산 예측에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Chitosan is biodegradable natural polymer that has been demonstrated its ability to improve wound healing, and calcium metaphosphate(CMP) is a unique class of phosphate minerals having a polymeric structure. In this study, chitosan/CMP and platelet derived growth factor(PDGF-BB) loaded chitosan/CMP sponges were developed, and the effect of the sponges on bone regeneration and their possibility as scaffolds for bone formation by three-dimensional osteoblast culture were examined. PDGF-BB loaded chitosan/CMP sponges were prepared by freeze-drying of a mixture of chitosan solution and CMP powder, and soaking in a PDGF-BB solution. Fabricated sponge retained its 3-dimensional porous structure with $100-200\;{\mu}m$ pores. The release kinetics of PDGF-BB loaded onto the sponge were measured in vitro with $^{125}I-labeled$ PDGF-BB. In order to examine their possibility as scaffolds for bone formation, fetal rat calvarial osteoblastic cells were isolated, cultured, and seeded into the sponges. The cell-sponge constructs were cultured for 28 days. Cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity were measured at 1, 7, 14 and 28 days, and histologic examination was performed. In order to examine the effect on the healing of bone defect, the sponges were implanted into rat calvarial defects. Rats were sacrificed 2 and 4 weeks after implantation and histologic and histomorphometrical examination were performed. An effective therapeutic concentration of PDGF-BB following a high initial burst release was maintained throughout the examination period. PDGF-BB loaded chitosan/CMP sponges supported the proliferation of seeded osteoblastic cells as well as their differentiation as indicated by high alkaline phosphatase activities. Histologic findings indicated that seeded osteoblastic cells well attached to sponge matrices and proliferated in a multi-layer fashion. In the experiments of implantation in rat calvarial defects, histologic and histomorphometric examination revealed that chitosan/CMP sponge promoted osseous healing as compared to controls. PDGF-BB loaded chitosan/CMP sponge further echanced bone regeneration. These results suggested that PDGF-BB loaded chitosan/CMP sponge was a feasable scaffolding material to grow osteoblast in a three-dimentional structure for transplantation into a site for bone regeneration.

Liposomes as drug delivery system have proved useful carrier for various disease, including cancer. In addition, perfluorocarbon cored microbubbles are utilized in conjunction with high-intensity focused-ultrasound (HIFU) to enable simultaneous diagnosis and treatment. However, microbubbles generally exhibit lower drug loading efficiency, so the need for the development of a novel liposome-based drug delivery material that can efficiently load and deliver drugs to targeted areas via HIFU. This study aims to develop a liposome-based drug delivery material by introducing a substance that can burst liposomes using ultrasound energy and confirm the ability to target tumors using PET imaging. Liposomes (Lipo-DOX, Lipo-DOX-Au, Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD) were synthesized with gold nanoparticles using an avidin-biotin bond, and doxorubicin was mounted inside by pH gradient method. The size distribution was measured by DLS, and encapsulation efficiency of doxorubicin was analyzed by UV-vis spectrometer. The target specificity and cytotoxicity of liposomes were assessed in vitro by glioblastoma U87mg cells to HIFU treatment and analyzed using CCK-8 assay, and fluorescence microscopy at 6-hour intervals for up to 24 hours. For the in vivo study, U87mg model mouse were injected intravenously with 1.48 MBq of ⁶⁴Cu-labeled Lipo-DOX-Au and Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD, and PET images were taken at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours. As a result, the size of liposomes was 108.3 ± 5.0 nm at Lipo-DOX-Au and 94.1 ± 12.2 nm at Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD, and it was observed that doxorubicin was mounted inside the liposome up to 52%. After 6 hours of HIFU treatment, the viability of U87mg cells treated with Lipo-DOX-Au decreased by around 20% compared to Lipo-DOX, and Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD had a higher uptake rate than Lipo-DOX. In vivo study using PET images, it was confirmed that ⁶⁴Cu-Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD was taken up into the tumor immediately after injection and maintained for up to 4 hours. In this study, drugs released from liposomes-gold nanoparticles via ultrasound and RGD targeting were confirmed by non-invasive imaging. In cell-level experiments, HIFU treatment of gold nanoparticle-coupled liposomes significantly decreased tumor survival, while RGD-liposomes exhibited high tumor targeting and rapid release in vivo imaging. It is expected that the combination of these models with ultrasound is served as an effective drug delivery material with therapeutic outcomes.
