N-Heterocyclic aromatics (NHA) are widely occurring environmental pollutants formed during the pyrolysis of nitrogen-containing organic chemicals. NAH are found in significant amounts in tobacco condensates, synthetic fuels, polluted river sediment, and effluents from the heating of coal. Following topical application 7H-dibenzo[c, g]carbazole (DBC) induces cancer in liver as well as skin, indicating that dermal exposure can lead to systemic effect. DBC and dibenz[a,j]acridine (DBA) are examples of NHA. The potency of many carcinogenic compounds is related, at least in part, to the efficiency of their biological activation. We undertook studies to determine which initial metabolites lead to the formation of high levels of carcinogen-DNA adducts in vivo. DBC and DBA's, DBA, trans-DBA-1,2-dihydrodiol (DBA-1,2-DHD), trans-DBA-3,4-dihydrodiol (DBA-3,4-DHD), and trans-DBA-5,6-dihydrodiol (DBA-5,6-DHD), were applied to the skin of mice. There were six adducts that were related to DBC application. These addusts were seen in the target organ, liver at high levels, but at very low levels in non-target organs, skin, lung and kidney. In skin, DBA produced two distinct adducts. The same two adducts were seen when DBA-3,4-DHD was applied. In addition the total adduct level elicited by DBA-3,4-DHD higher than that of parent compound. Two adducts were seen when DBA-5,6-DHD was applied, but these were very different from adducts seen with DBA. These results suggested that activation of DBA to DNA-binding compounds in skin includes initial formation of DBA-3,4-DHD.

PON(Passive Optical Network) is the promising technology applicable to TPS(Triple Play Service). To improve process the packet, MAC(Multiple Access Control) is the most important technology in the PON. The core of MAC is DBA(Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment), it classifies SR-DBA(Status Report DBA) and NSR-DBA(Non Status Report DBA). But GPON DBA is using BPON's DBA, so it's bad in network efficiency. This study develop BR(Borrow-Refund)-DBA for improve network efficiency and prompt process. For take the gauge of performance evaluation, estimate about throughput, fairness and queue delay in SR-DBA and NSR-DBA environment

MAC protocol must be necessarily used because the GPON technology has Point-to-Multipoint structure as connecting an OLT with numerous ONUs. And DBA algorithm must be used to support various services too. There are a few researches in DBA algorithm of GPON, referring the DBA algorithm of BPON which has a waste of bandwidth and the fairness problem between T-CONTs. In this paper, we proposed the BR-DBA algorithm to be able to solve the problems of DBA algorithm on BPON and designed that. As a result of evaluating the performance of BR-DBA algorithm using the NS-2 network simulator, we confirm that the problems of DBA algorithm on BPON were solved and increasing the throughput over BR-DBA algorithm.

In the upstream link of EPON, numerous ONUs In the reverse link of the EPON network, numerous ONUs receive the privileges to use the optical medium from the scheduler of the LOT, but not through the competition with others. Therefore, it is very important to select a proper DBA algorithm to allocatethe frequency band to each ONU in an effectively and fair manner. In our preceding study, we proposed the RC-DBA algorithm that complements many problems in existing DBA algorithms. In this paper, we designed the MAC scheduler for the OLT, which the proposed algorithmwas applied to and implement it in the FPGA. In addition, in order to verify the operation of the scheduler, we developed the embedded Linux based testbed.

This study attempts to investigate lectin binding patterns of the glycoconjugates of the esophageal mucous cells in four teleostean speceis, i. e., Sebastes schlegeli, Halichoeres poecilopterus, Bryzoichthys lysimus and Takifugu pardalis. To investigate glycoconjugates of esophageal mucous cells, nine biotinylated lectins (DBA, SBA, PNA, BSL-l, RCA-l, sWGA, UEA-l, LCA and ConA) were applied with ABC method. Esophageal mucous cells of Sebastes schlegeli and Halichoeres poecilopterus were mixed with large, medium sized and small mucous cells. But these cells of the other species only were mixed with medium sized and small mucous cells. The lectin binding pattern of esophageal mucous cells depends on the species; Sebastes schlegeli was stained with DBA, SBA, BSL-l, RCA-l and sWGA, Halichoeres poecilopterus with DBA, SBA, PNA and sWGA, Bryzoichthys lysimus with SBA and sWGA, Takifugu pardalis with all lectins except DBA, LCA and Con A, respectively. All the mucous cells of Sebastes schlegeli were stained with DBA, SBA and sWGA, while small mucous cells with BSL-l besides these lectins. In Halichoeres poecilopterus,l the large mucous cells reacted with PNA, medium sized mucous cells with DBA, SBA and sWGA, and small mucous cells with DBA and SBA, respectively. Medium sized mucous cells of Bryzoichthys lysimus were stained with sWGA, and small mucous cells with SBA and sWGA. In Takifugu pardalis, all mucous cells reacted with SBA, PNA and RCA-l, but medium sized mucous cells with sWGA and UEA-l besides these lectins. Especially DBA and SBA lectins showed a strong binding to all mucous cells of Sebastes schlegeli. In Halichoeres poecilopterus, PNA binding were notable in large mucous cells, and SBA binding in medium sized and small cells, respectively. However, SBA, PNA, sWGA and UEA-l lectins of Takifugu pardalis showed a strong binding to medium sized mucous cells, but RCA-l binding which small mucous cells were notable.

This paper proposes a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm with adaptive maximum transmission window (DBA-AMTW) to increase channel utilization in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). A polling mechanism in EPON determines channel utilization and puts constraints on DBA algorithm and scheduling. DBA algorithms based on interleaved polling with stop (IPS) allocate transmission windows to optical network units (ONU) considering requests of all ONUs. However channel idle time when any ONU does not transmit packets decreases channel utilization. Proposed DBA-AMTW improves efficiency of a network and allocates transmission windows effectively by appropriate DBA computation from REPORT messages of all ONUs. An adaptive maximum transmission window for each ONU determined by a DBA computation in the previous scheduling cycle. Simulation results show that the proposed DBA algorithm improves performance of throughput and average delay time.

Because EPON access network shares a medium and aggregates the traffic from EPON subscribers, scheduling media access control on EPON bandwidth allocation is very important. Furthermore DBA mechanism of EPON based on TDMA is out of specification and up to implementation. This paper deals with a DBA method to guarantee the QoS of the delay sensitive traffic on the base of best-effort service and delay priority queue management. The proposed method performs virtual scheduling algorithm for the integrated traffic. It uses the same MAC messages and tries to guarantee the QoS of higher priority traffic first with a simple DBA architecture. We evaluate the algorithm for traffic delay according to polling interval and traffic load of upstream and downstream. The results show that the proposed method can guarantee the QoS of the delay sensitive traffic with priority of the service classes.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Passive Optical Network(ATM-PON) Technology is one of the best solutions for implementation of broadband access network. In this paper, we propose a new Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm for ATM-PON systems. The DBA is a key technique for data traffic management. DBA has been studied widely to allow ATM-PON to transport data traffic cost-effectively and efficiently, and currently a hot standardization issue in Full Service Access Network(FSAN) and ITU-T. The proposed DBA algorithm efficiently manages the user traffics according to their service categories. Performance of the proposed algorithm, in aspect of Cell Transfer Delay(CTD) and Cell Delay Variation(CDV), is evaluated using computer simulation.

The physical properties of polymer are greatly influenced by the extent to which a resin cures. The presence of un reacted monomer can, have a plasticizing effect on the polymer, thereby altering the physical and mechanical properties of dentin bonding agent (DBA). If the DBA does not polymerize sufficiently, it will leave a weak bonding layer and lead to lower bond strength. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strengths(SBS) and the degree of conversion (DC) of 4 commercialy avilable dentin bonding systems which are composed of 2 multi-bottle systems [Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SMP), AeliteBond(AB)] and 2 onebottle systems [SingleBond(SB), One-Step(OS)]. For shear bond strength measurement, labial surfaces of freshly extracted bovine incisors were ground with # 600 grit SiC paper to expose dentin. Four different groups of samples were formed, with 10 samples. being made for each of the 4 commercial DBA in each group according to the curing sequences of DBA and overlayer thickness of composites: Group I (standard cure and 1mm thick composites) : The DBA was light cured and the composites of 1mm thickness was applied ; Group II (standard cure and 2mm thick composites) : The DBA was light cured and the composites of 2mm thickness was applied; Group III (simultaneous cure and 1mm thick composites) : The DBA was not light-cured and simultaneously cured with composites of 1mm thickness; Group N (simultaneous cure and 2mm thick composites) : The DBA was. not light-cured and simultaneously cured with composites of 2mm thickness. The SBS was measured immediately after the composites was bonded to the bovine dentin using an Instron machine. The DC of the DBA was examined in a thin film under simulated conditions of the experimental groups according to the curing sequences and overlayer thickness of composites in the SBS test. using a Fourier transform Infrared(FTIR) spectrometer. The following results were obtained from SBS tests and DC measurements 1. In SBS tests, the multi-bottle DBA(SMP, AB) had a generally higher bond strength values than the one bottle DBA(SB, OS). In DC measurements, the one bottle DBA(SB, OS) had a significantly higher DC than the multi-bottle DBA(SMP, AB). 2. In all DBAs except OS, there was no significant difference between the bond strength of group I (standard cure and 1mm thick composites) and that of group III (simultaneous cure and 1mm thick composites). SMP, SB in Group I had a significantly higher DC than those in group III, but AB, OS in group I had a significantly lower DC than those in group III 3. All DBAs in Goup II (standard cure and 2mm thick composites) had significantly higher bond strength and DC than those in Group N (simultaneous cure and 2mm thick composites). 4. In all DBAs, there was no significantly different SBS and DC between Group I and Group II, but all DBAs in Group III had significantly higher SBS and DC than those in Group IV.

Database Administrators (DBA) play a role in designing and maintaining database systems. It is one of the Information Technology (IT) jobs in high demand and is important in developing and maintaining Information Systems (IS). Little research has been conducted on the skill requirements for a DBA. By collecting and analyzing job ads posted on the websites of Fortune 500 companies, we investigated the skill requirements needed for today's DBA.
