Quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations of H+HLi reaction have been carried out on a new potential energy surface of the ground state reported by Prudente et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 2009, 474, 18]. The four polarization-dependent differential cross sections have been carried out in the center of mass (CM) frame at various collision energies. The reaction probability for the depletion channel has been studied over a wide collision energy range. It has been found that the collision energy decreases remarkably reaction probability, which shows the expected behavior of the title reaction belonging to an exothermic barrierless reaction. The results are in good agreement with previous RMP results. The P(${\theta}_r$), P(${\phi}_r$) and P(${\theta}_r,\;{\phi}_r$) distributions, the k-k'-j' correlation and the angular distribution of product rotational vectors are presented in the form of polar plots. The average rotational alignment factor <$P_2(j{\prime}{\cdot}k)$> as a function of collision energy is also calculated. The results indicate that the collision energy has a great influence on the polarization of the product rotational angular momentum vector j'.

Recently terrestrial digital broadcasting systems have experienced a growth with the demand of high data rate. In order to meet such demand, the MIMO technology has received a wide attention. This paper proposes a pre-coding method, which provides high space channel correlation for the improved performance over terrestrial broadcasting channels when the polarized $2{\times}2$ MIMO SM is adopted for DVB-NGH systems. When signals with two different modulation orders are transmitted through two antennas, a method that is based on non-uniform power is also proposed for improved reception performance. To optimize the proposed method, phase shifting values for the pre-coding method and appropriate unequal power ratio are obtained. These obtained parameters are applied to a terrestrial broadcasting system, and then the performance improvement over the conventional SM is shown through computer simulations.

Vibrio harveyi is a pathogenic marine bacterium causing systemic symptoms resulting in mass mortalities in fishes and shrimps in aquaculture. Outer membrane proteins(OMPs) are related to the pathogenicity and thus good targets for diagnosis and vaccination for Gram negative bacteria. Recently vaccination strategies using the OMPs have been suggested to control vibriosis in several fish species. In this study, we have isolated V. harveyi from diseased marine fishes from different regions of Korea and investigated genetic variations of four OMP genes including OmpK, OmpU, OmpV and OmpW. Consequently, OmpK and U genes could be divided into 3 subgroups of type I, II, III and type A, B, C, respectively, without any correlation with geographical regions and species while OmpV and W were highly homologous. OmpW gene of V. harveyi FP4138 was fully sequenced and predicted the deduced amino acid sequence to form ${\beta}-barrel$ with hydrophobic channel. Indeed, the immunogenicity of recombinant OmpW produced in Escherichia coli was assessed by vaccinating flounder. As a result, the high antibody response with antibody titer of $4.2{\pm}0.7$ and protection with relative percent survival of 60% against artificial infection of V. harveyi were demonstrated. This result indicates that OmpW is a virulence related factor and it can be a vaccine candidate to prevent a high mortality caused by V. harveyi infection in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus.

In this paper, the estimation of the disparity for depth extraction in monochrome complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors with offset pixel apertures is presented. To obtain the depth information, the disparity information between two different channel data of the offset pixel apertures is required. The disparity is caused by the difference in the response angle between the left- and right-offset pixel aperture images. A depth map is implemented by the generated disparity. Therefore, the disparity is the most important factor for realizing 3D images from the designed CMOS image sensor with offset pixel apertures. The disparity is influenced by the pixel height and offset value of the offset pixel aperture. To confirm this correlation, the offset value is set to maximum within the pixel area, and the disparity values corresponding to the difference in the heights are calculated and compared. The disparity is derived using the camera-lens formula. Two monochrome CMOS image sensors with offset pixel apertures are used in the disparity estimation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mutual relations by measuring SNR from T2 weighted image and ADC values on the basis of the stiffness values from liver tissues. This study was conducted that total 37 people(23 of males and 11 of females) were taken the liver MRI examination and average age was $54.5{\pm}12.7$ years old. The equipment was MAGNETOM Skyra 3.0T (SIEMENS, Erlangen, Germany) and 32 channel body-array coil. The examination were conducted with HASTE T2 weighted image by axial plane, Spin-echo EPI (echo planner image) DWI (b-value = 800) and Magnetic resonance elastography. The ROIs (region of interest: 200-300 $mm^2$) were established on the basis of the first axial stiffness image corresponded 95% confidence interval from axial stiffness image and then were measured values. After drawing the grid lines, signals were measured SNR from T2 weighted image and ADC values on the same locations that were analysed other 3 planes respectively. The results were showed correlation (0.057) that were increased to SNR from T2 weighted image by increasing stiffness value that no significant difference statistically p = 0.003. Other results were showed correlations (-0.301) that were decreased to ADC values by increasing stiffness values that no significant difference statistically p = 0.088. In the 3.0T equipment, the results may be error in much the same fashion as the 1.5T from ADC values by evaluation of fibrosis stage. However, Magnetic resonance elastography would be useful method that is used to diagnose exactly liver fibrosis stages in the 3.0T.

The purpose of this study is to analyze consumers attitude toward PPL (Product Placement) of fashion products on TV, with regarding PPL as a new-communication sphere of marketing. This study used a questionnaire method, and the results of the analysis are as follows. First, as for the information availability of PPL related to fashion products on TV, it was shown to be higher in order of trend, brand, color, practicability, price and material. Second, as a result of analyzing, through 11 items, the attitude on PPL experience of fashion products on TV, there were many positive responses as to 5 items (The commodity with PPL is the product of a renowned brand, The commodity with PPL is the expensive product, An image of the product with PPL becomes good, The product with PPL is suitable to the mood in a drama, I try to think whether the product with PPL matches with myself), and there were more negative responses as to 6 items (Because of desiring to know a brand of the product with PPL, I look for it, The product with PPL is practical, The product with PPL is same as the real situation, I will also buy the product with PPL, Because there are too many commodities with PPL, I become angry, In case of facing PPL, I change a channel). Third, it was shown that the purchase experience and purchase intention as to the product with PPL on TV, have a positive correlation with TV viewing time and with whether or not re-approval as to PPL of a specific company. Also, the purchase experience as to the product with PPL on TV was shown much in the group of viewing TV via internet and in the group of using the digital TV broadcasting. The purchase intention as to the product with PPL on TV was shown higher in the group of using much cable TV broadcasting and general TV broadcasting, while the group of viewing TV via internet had purchase experience, but the response of not having intention of repurchasing was the highest.

Located in the southwestern part of Korea, the Yong San Gang river flows generally northeast to southwest, and because of the specific location, topography and climate, the basin area is subject to recurrent drought and flood damages. To eliminate the cause of such damages and ensure an increase in the farm income by means of effective irrigation supply and increased cropping intensity, efforts are being made to speed up implementation of an integrated agricultural development project which would include construction. of an estuary dam and irrigation facilities as well as land development and tidal reclarnation. In formulating a basin development project plan, it is necessary to study a series of long-term runoff data. The catchment area at the proposed estuary damsite is 3,471$\textrm{km}^2$ with the total length of the river channel up to this point reaching 138km. An analysis of runoff in this area was carried out. Rainfall was estimated by the Thiessen Network based on records available from 15 of the rainfall observation stations within the area. Out of the 15 stations, Kwang Ju and Mok Po stations were keeping long-term precipitation records exceeding some 60 years while the others were in possession of only 5-10 years records. The long-term records kept by those stations located in the center of the basin were used as base records and records kept by the remaining stations were supplemented using the coefficient of correlation between the records kept by the base stations and the remainder. The analyses indicate that the average annual rainfall measured at Kwang Ju during 1940-1972 (33 years) amounts to 1,262mm and the areal rainfall amounts to 1,236mm. For the purpose of runoff analysis, 7 observatories, were set up in the middle and lower reaches of the river and periodic measurements made by these stations permitted analysis of water levels and river flows. In particular, the long-term data available from Na Ju station significantly contributed to the analysis. The analysis, made by 4-stage Tank method, shows that the average annual runoff during 1940-1972 amounts to 2,189 million ㎥ at the runoff rate of 51%. As for the amount of monthly runoff, the maximum is 484.2 million ㎥ in July while the minimum is 48.3 million ㎥ in January.

Cryptographic synchronization which synchronizes internal state of cryptographic algorithm and ciphertext stream between an encryptor and a decryptor affects the quality of secure communication. If there happens a synchronization loss between a transmitter and a receiver in a secure communication, the output of the receiver is unintelligible until resynchronization is made. Especially, in the secure communication on a wireless channel with high BER, synchronization performance can dominate its quality. In this paper, we proposed a novel and noise robust synchronization signal generation method as well as its detection algorithm. We generated a synchronization signal in the form of a masking structure based on the maximal length sequence, and developed a detection algorithm using a correlation property of the maximal length sequence. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed synchronization signal outperforms the conventional concatenated type synchronization signal in a noisy environment.

We employed a method eliminating a temporally partial principal component (PC) of multichannel-recorded neuromagnetic fields for excluding spatially correlated noises from event-evoked signals. The noises in magnetoencephalography (MEG) are considered to be mainly spontaneous neuromagnetic fields which are spatially correlated. In conventional MEG experiments, the amplitude of the spontaneous neuromagnetic field is much lager than that of the evoked signal and the synchronized characteristics of the correlated rhythmic noise makes it possible for us to extract the correlation noises from the evoked signal by means of the general PC analysis. However, the whole-time PC of the fields still contains a little projection component of the evoked signal and the elimination of the PC results in the distortion of the evoked signal. Especially, the distortion will not be negligible when the amplitude of the evoked signal is relatively large or when the evoked signals have a spatially-asymmetrical distribution which does not cancel out the corresponding elements of the covariance matrix. In the period of prestimulus, there are only the spontaneous fields and we can find the pure noise PC that is not including the evoked signal. Besides that, we propose a method, called the extended temporal decorrelation method (ETDM), to suppress the distortion of the noise PC from remanent evoked signal components. In this study, we applied the Partial Principal component elimination method (PPCE) and ETDM to simulated signals and the auditory evoked signals that had been obtained with our homemade 37-channel magnetometer-based SQUID system. We demonstrate here that PPCE and ETDM reduce the number of epochs required in averaging to about half of that required in conventional averaging.

This study intended to investigate correlations between the consumption tendency, determination factors of the distribution of Korean cosmetics, and purchasing patterns of Korean cosmetics. This study investigated characteristics and differences between each factor by analyzing consumption tendency, determination factors of distribution channels, and purchasing patterns of Korean cosmetics of adult women in their 20 ~ 50s who have used Korean cosmetics and reside in Beijing, China. It also, investigated the effect of the shopping propensity of consumers on determination factors of the distribution channels and purchasing patterns of Korean cosmetics. According to the results of our investigation, it was identified that 'pleasure-seeking tendency' and 'brand-seeking tendency' have postive effects on 'service', and 'pleasure-seeking tendency', 'brand-seeking tendency', and 'rational purchasing propensity' have positive effects on 'professionalism'. In regards to the effect of shopping propensity on purchasing patterns of Korean cosmetics, it was identified that 'brand-seeking tendency' has a positive effect on 'planned purchasing behavior', 'brand reputation seeking behavior', and 'dedicated purchasing behavior'. It was verified that 'rational purchasing propensity' has positive effect on 'planned purchasing behavior', 'pleasure-seeking tendency' and 'trend-seeking tendency' on 'brand reputation seeking behavior', and 'trend-seeking tendency' on 'dedicated purchasing behavior'. This study is expected to provide basic data for Korean cosmetics brands to use for improving the marketing of products entering the Chinese market by using appropriate distribution channels. These channels are determined through identifying the correlation of each factor consumption tendency of Chinese women, determination factors of the distribution channels Korean cosmetics, and purchasing patterns of Korean cosmetics.
