Vitamin D is an important fat-soluble vitamin that functions as a prohormone and affects bone mineralization and calcium homeostasis. Vitamin D deficiency causesboth musculoskeletal manifestations, including rickets, and extra-musculoskeletal symptoms. Because vitamin D is naturally present in only some foods, intake of daily foods cannot meet the dietary reference intake for vitamin D. Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D in humans therefore, the lack of sunlight can easily cause vitamin D deficiency in children and adolescents. Vitamin D deficiency can be diagnosed on the basis ofits typical clinical manifestation, laboratory tests, and radiologic findings. Detection of vitamin D deficiency in children or adolescents necessitates the simultaneous administration of vitamin D and calcium supplements. To prevent vitamin D deficiency, 200 IU of daily vitamin D intake is recommended in infants, and 400 IU of daily vitamin D intake is recommended in Korean children and adolescents.

Ischemic and traumatic brain injuries are the major acute central nervous system disorders that need to be adequately diagnosed and treated. To find biomarkers for these acute brain injuries, plasma levels of some specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs, i.e., lipoxin A4 [LXA4], resolvin [Rv] E1, RvE2, RvD1 and RvD2), CD59 and interleukin (IL)-6 were measured at 0, 6, 24, 72, and 168 h after global cerebral ischemic (GCI) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in rats. Plasma LXA4 levels tended to increase at 24 and 72 h after GCI. Plasma RvE1, RvE2, RvD1, and RvD2 levels showed a biphasic response to GCI; a significant decrease at 6 h with a return to the levels of the sham group at 24 h, and again a decrease at 72 h. Plasma CD59 levels increased at 6 and 24 h post-GCI, and returned to basal levels at 72 h post-GCI. For TBI, plasma LXA4 levels tended to decrease, while RvE1, RvE2, RvD1, and RvD2 showed barely significant changes. Plasma IL-6 levels were significantly increased after GCI and TBI, but with different time courses. These results show that plasma LXA4, RvE1, RvE2, RvD1, RvD2, and CD59 levels display differential responses to GCI and TBI, and need to be evaluated for their usefulness as biomarkers.

This paper proposes fast storage techniques for hybrid query of data streams. DSMS(Data Stream Management System) have been researched for processing data streams that have busting income. To process hybrid query that retrieve both current incoming data streams and past data streams data streams have to be stored into disk. But due to fast input speed of data stream and memory and disk space limitation, the main research is not about querying to stored data streams but about querying to current incoming data streams. Proposed techniques of this paper use circular buffer for maximizing memory utility and for make non blocking insertion possible. Data in a disk is compressed to maximize the number of data in the disk. Through experiences, proposed technique show that bursting insertion is stored fast.

There are two traditional scheduling methods known as PQ and WRR in the DiffServ network, however, these two scheduling methods have some drawbacks. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can be adopted in WRR scheduler with making up for weak points of PQ and WRR. The proposed algorithm produces the control discipline by the fuzzy theory to dynamically assigns the weight of WRR scheduler with checking the Queue status of each class. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, We accomplished a computer simulation using NS-2. In result, the proposed algorithm enhances the packet discard rate at the EF class than WRR scheduling method and the AF4 class than PQ scheduling method.

The importance of the environment in the store is embossed, this is demanded to manage the store environment from the dimension of image improve and customer contacted satisfaction measurement followed with the influence on the store choice criteria. Retail store's managers improve the retailing results by forming the appropriate store environment and giving the customers a pleasant and satisfied purchasing environment to improve the store atmosphere. The expected customer who looks for their store can plant a thesis existing reason of their own store definitely and strongly in theheart of manger and employee. And also, among the store differentiation, the weight of physical environment placed is becoming large day by day, and now can make full use of the competition superiority measure different with the store. This paper will actually analysis that what kind of influence the store environment factors exert on the store choice criteria, and also if the store choice criteria exerts influence on the store value and patronage intention.

The first occurrence of a giant squid, Architeuthis sp. (one specimen), and the oarfish, Regalecus russellii (two specimens) in the East Sea were reported based on specimens collected in January and February 2010. The giant squid (Architeuthis sp.) stranded at Pohang in Jan. 2010 was female, 175 cm in mantle length (ML), 506 cm in tentacle length (TL), and 33.9% FL/ML, it contained common squid beaks. Both stranded oarfish (Regalecus russellii) at Uljin (Jan. 2010) and Yeongdeok (Feb. 2010) were male, with total weigths (TW) of 18,506 and 21,703 g and total lengths (TL) of 3,850 and 3,670 mm, respectively. The stomach of the first was empty, while that of the second was filled with euphausiids. In the East Sea, giant squid have been stranded 14 times in five areas, while 17 oarfish have been stranded in nine areas. Since 1990, the two species have been found most often at Pohang.

The effects of alloying elements on the mechanical properties of normalized and quenched 3.60wt%C-2.60wt%C ductile cast iron poured into shell stack mold were investigated. The strength and hardness of as-cast specimen were increased and the elongation of it was decreased with the additions of Mn, Cu and Sn. The strength and hardness were increased with the addition of 0.40wt%Mo and then rather decreased with the increased addition of 0.80wt%. The strength and hardness were increased with normalizing treatment and the strengths of normalized specimens were increased slightly with the addition of alloying elements except Mo. Meanwhile the yield strength of the normalized specimen was increased slightly with the addition of Mo, the tensile strength was not changed much. Meanwhile the hardness and strength of the quenched specimen were slightly increased with the addition of Mn, those were almost not changed with the amount added. The tensile strength of the quenched specimen with larger diameter, when the Cu had been added, and the tensile and yield strengths of them, when Mo had been added, were increased with the addition of alloying element. On the other hand, those were not changed with the amount added. For the case of specimen with smaller diameter, there were no effects of these two elements. When Sn had been added, the strength of hardened specimen with larger diameter was slightly increased with the amount added. However, that with smaller diameter was rather decreased with it. The effect of specimen diameter on the strength of quenched specimen with the addition of Cu, Mo and Sn was reduced.

For screening of the compounds exhibiting antimicrobial activities against the D-alanyl-D-alanine of Gram positive bacteria, approximately 2,500 actinomycetes isolated from soil were examined far antimicrobial activity. In consequence, we recently isolated the Streptomyces sp. G91353 strain produced an active compound, A91353, that inhibits the growth of Gram positive bacteria. A91353 was identified as N-acetyl-phenylalanine by various spectroscopic methods. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of N-acetyl-phenylalanine on Gram positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes 308A, Streptococcus pyogenes 77A were determined as $50{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, but did not effect on Gram negative strains. These results indicate that N-acetyl-phenylalanine have an antimicrobial activity, which may be caused by the disturbance of D-alanyl-D-alanine synthesis.

From each sediments collected at Chudong(static) and Hoenam(streaming) site of Lake Daechung on May 18(before rainy season) and on August 24 in 1998(after rainy season), different strains of Actinomycetes were isolated and identified to genus level. For comparison, the genus diversity of Actinomycetes in control soils such as grass land around lake, lake shore, and shallow(5-10cm) lake was also investigated. In consequence, the isolation of Streptomyces from the sediments of Lake Daechung was the most copious(41 strains) at the streaming site before rainy season and the least(27 strains) at the static site before rainy season, which were 2.4- and 1.6-fold larger than the average(17 strains) of control soils, respectively. In addition, the isolation of rare Actinomycetes from the sediments of Lake Daechung was the most copious(23 strains) at the streaming site before rainy season and the least(12 strains) at the static site after rainy season, which were 3.2-and 1.6-fold larger than the average(17 strain) of controls, respectively. Therefore, it is considered that lake sediments exhibit higher diversity of Streptomycete as well as rare Actinomycetes than general soils, and thereby can be utilized as useful sources to isolate diverse Actinomycetes.
