  • Three isolates, E. faecium P1, P2 and P3, from intestinal drugs of three phamaceutical companies, four clinical vancomycin resistant isolates, E. faecium V1, V2, V3 and E. faecalis V4, and three isolates, E. faecalis DW01, DW07 and DW14, from infant feces were tested for the presence of virulence genes, ace, agg, esp, efaA, gelE, sprE, vanA and vanB as well as fsrABC, regulatory genes of gelE and sprE, cylMBA, cytolysin activation genes and cpd, cob and ccf, pheromone genes by PCR and for their phenotype activities such as protease, biofilm formation, cell clumping and hemolysis. The genes encoding cell surface adherence proteins, ace, agg, esp and efaA, were predominantly amplified from the vancomycin resistant strain V4 and the fecal isolates DW01, DW07 and DW14. Both protease and biofilm formation activity were detected only from E. faecalis V4 from which the PCR products of gelE and spreE as well as fsrABC were amplified. The pheromone genes were amplified from the V4, DW01, DW07 and DW14 strains and these strains showed clumping activity. Biofilm formation was observed from the strains DW01, DW07 and DW14, all of which produced PCR products of pheromone, and V4 as well. Whole cytolysin regulator genes were amplified from DW01, DW07 and DW14 and ${\beta}$-hemolysis activity was detected from these strains. Any virulence genes or activities except the pheomone gene ccf were not detected from the pharmaceutical isolates, E. faecium P1, P2 and P3.

  • 石膏(改良劑)處理 및 用水管理方法에 依한 鹽害土壤의 除鹽效果를 分析하기 爲하여 浸出法(leaching method), 水洗法(rinsing method), 湛水法(ponding method ; 石膏混合處理 및 石膏非混合處理)에 依해서 3處理 3反復 4回連續抽出實驗이 遂行되었다. 나트륨減少量과 總鹽分減少率은 浸出法이 水洗法이나 湛水法에 比하여 더욱 效果的이었다. 石膏處理區의 除鹽率이 石膏無處理區의 除鹽率보다 比較的 높았으며 石膏處理區(에이커當 2톤 石膏處理區 및 4톤 石膏處理區) 사이에는 別差異가 없었다. 除鹽實驗後 나트륨吸着度(SAR)는 浸出法과 水洗法을 使用한 石膏處理區에서 $10(meq/l)^{1/2}$以下로 減少되었다. 連續抽出의 境遇 SAR은 水洗法을 使用한 石膏處理法에서 單位土壤깊이當 供給用水깊이의 比率($D_w/D_s$)이 3.0以上으로 될때 $10(meq/l)^{1/2}$以下로 減少되었고 浸出法을 使用한 石膏處理區에서는 $D_w/D_s$가 1.5以上일때 $10(meq/l)^{1/2}$以下로 減少되었다. 除鹽實驗後 飽和抽出液의 電氣傳導度(EC)는 全實驗區에서 4mmhos/cm以下로 減少되었다. 連續抽出의 境遇 EC는 水洗法을 使用한 石膏處理區에서 $D_w/D_s$가 3.0以上일때 4mmhos/cm以下로 減少되었고浸出法을 使用한 石膏處理區에서는 $D_w/D_s$가 1.5以上으로 될때 4mmhos/cm以下로 減少되었다. 排水가 比較的 良好한 土壤의 置換性나트륨百分率(ESP)은 除鹽實驗後 浸出法과 水洗法을 使用한 石膏處理區에서 15%以下로 減少되었고 排水가 不良한 土壤의 ESP는 水洗法을 使用한 石膏處理區에서 15%以下로 減少되었다. 나트륨吸着度, 電氣傳導度, 置換性나트륨百分率 等을 勘案하여 볼때 本鹽害土壤은 石膏處理浸出法 또는 石膏處理水洗法에 依하여 比較的 쉽게 改良될 수 있다고 判斷된다. 除鹽效果 및 改良劑費用等을 考慮하여 보면 排水가 比較적 良好한 鹽害土壤의 境遇 에이커當 2톤 石膏處理 浸出法이 效果的인 方法으로 보이며 排水가 不良한 鹽害土壤의 境遇에는 에이커當 2톤 石膏處理 水洗法이 比較的 效率的인 除鹽 方法이라고 思科된다. 排水가 不良한 鹽害土壤의 浸透率을 增加시키고 除鹽을 促進시키기 爲해서는 石膏等과 같은 改良劑의 供給이 必要한 것으로 看做되며 現場條件下에서도 表土層土壤의 除鹽을 爲해서는 石膏處理浸出法과 石膏處理水洗法이 效率的인 方法으로 期待된다.

  • Distributed generation(DG) of combined cooling, heat, and power(CCHP)has been gaining momentum in recent year as efficient, secure alternative for meeting increasing energy demands. This paper presents the energy performance of microturbine CCHP system equipped with an absorption chiller by modelling it in hospital building. The orders of study were as following. 1)The list and schedule of energy consumption equipment in hospital were examined such as heating and cooling machine, light etc. 2) Annual report of energy usage and monitoring data were examined as heating, cooling, DHW, lighting, etc. 3) The weather data in 2007 was used for simulation and was arranged by meteorological office data in Daejeon. 4) Reference simulation model was built by comparison of real energy consumption and simulation result by TRNSYS and ESP-r. The energy consumption pattern of building were analyzed by simulation model and energy reduction rate were calculated over the cogeneration. As a result of this study, power generation efficiency of turbine was about 30[%] after installing micro gas turbine and lighting energy as well as total electricity consumption can be reduced by 40[%]. If electricity energy and waste heat in turbine are used, 56[%] of heating energy and 67[%] of cooling energy can be reduced respectively, and total system efficiency can be increased up to 70[%].

  • Precise branch prediction is a critical factor in the IPC Improvement of modern microprocessor architectures. In addition to the branch prediction accuracy, branch prediction delay have a profound impact on overall system performance as well. However, it tends to be overlooked when the architects design the branch predictor. To tolerate branch prediction delay, this paper proposes Early Start Prediction (ESP) technique. The proposed solution dynamically identifies the start instruction of basic block, called as Basic Block Start Address (BB_SA), and the solution uses BB_SA when predicting the branch direction, instead of branch instruction address itself. The performance of the proposed scheme can be further improved by combining short interval hiding technique between BB_SA and branch instruction. The simulation result shows that the proposed solution hides prediction latency, with providing same level of prediction accuracy compared to the conventional predictors. Furthermore, the combination with short interval hiding technique provides a substantial IPC improvement of up to 10.1%, and the IPC is actually same with ideal branch predictor, regardless of branch predictor configurations, such as clock frequency, delay model, and PHT size.

  • A monthly Ensemble Streamflow Prediction (ESP) system was developed by applying a daily rainfall-runoff model known as the Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation (SSARR) model to the Han, Nakdong, and Seomjin River basins in Korea. This study first assesses the accuracy of the averaged monthly runoffs simulated by SSARR for the 3 basins and proposes some improvements. The study found that the SSARR modeling of the Han and Nakdong River basins tended to significantly underestimate the actual runoff levels and the modeling of the Seomjin River basinshowed a large error variance. However, by implementing optimal linear correction (OLC), the accuracy of the SSARR model was considerably improved in predicting averaged monthly runoffs of the Han and Nakdong River basins. This improvement was not seen in the modeling of the Seomjin River basin. In addition, the ESP system was applied to forecast probabilistic runoff forecasts one month in advance for the 3 river basins from 1998 to 2003. Considerably improvement was also achieved with OLC in probabilistic forecasting accuracy for the Han and Nakdong River basins, but not in that of the Seomjin River basin.

  • Migration of low molecular weight components from expanded polystyrene (ESP) to distilled water was measured at different temperature conditions. Overall migration and specific monomer migration were measured. Diffusion model based on Fick's law was used to determine the apparent diffusion coefficients at various experimental conditions. The overall and specific migration levels were estimated to give some practical implications for regulatory guideline development and safe package design. Diffusion coefficients for overall migration in KMnO$_4$ oxidizable extractives and specific migration of styrene monomer from ESP at 6$0^{\circ}C$ were 0.030 and 6.8${\times}$10$^{-5}$ $\textrm{mm}^2$/h, respectively. Their temperature dependence could be explained by Arrhenius equation with respective activation energies of 80.5 and 98.6 kJ/㏖. Experimental conditions ensuring desired migration level were suggested for reliable examination of migration from the packaging material. Some explanatory estimations of migrations were given for some typical conditions of potential usages.

  • The agricultural environment is changing and becoming more advanced due to the influence of the 4th Industrial Revolution. From the basic plan of Rural Informatics to the current level of 2nd generation smart farms aimed at improving productivity using Big data, cloud network and more IoT technology. We are continuing to provide support and research and development. However, many problems remain to be solved in order to supply and settle smart farms in Korea. The purpose of this study is to provide a method of collecting and sharing data on farming environment and to help improve the income and productivity of farmers based on collected data. In the case of hog farm, the multiple sensors for environmental data like temperature, humidity and gases and the network environment for connecting the internet were established. The environment sensor was made using the ESP8266 Node MCU board as micro-controller, DHT22 sensor for temperature and humidity, and MQ series sensors for various gases in the hog pens. The network sensor was applied experimentally for one month and the environmental data of the hog farm was stored on a web database. This study is expected to raise the importance of collecting and managing the agricultural and environmental data, for the next generation farmers to understand the smart farm more easily and to try it by themselves.

  • Large sensor networks require the collection and analysis of data from a large number of sensors. The number of sensors that can be controlled per micro controller is limited. In this paper, we propose how to aggregate sensor data from a large number of sensors using a large number of microcontrollers and multiple bridge nodes, and design and implement an efficient communication system for sensor data collection. Bridge nodes aggregate data from multiple microcontrollers using SPI communication, and transfer the aggregated data to PC servers using wireless TCP/IP communication. In this paper, the communication system was constructed using the Open H/W Aduo Mini and ESP8266 and performance of the system was analyzed. The performance analysis results showed that more than 30 sensing data can be collected per second from more than 700 sensors.

  • The IPSec is a basic security mechanism of the IPv6 protocol, which can guarantee an integrity and confidentiality of data that transmit between two corresponding hosts. Also, both data and communication subjects can be authenticated using the IPSec mechanism. However, it is difficult that the IPSec mechanism protects major important network from attacks which transmit mass abnormal IPSec traffic in session-configuration or communication phases. In this paper, we present a design of the security system that can effectively detect and defeat abnormal IPSec traffic, which is encrypted by the ESP extension header, using the IPSec Session and Configuration table without any decryption. This security system is closely based on a multi-tier attack mitigation mechanism which is based on network bandwidth management and aims to counteract DDoS attacks and DoS effects of worm activity.

  • In this study, we developed a separated two-stage electrostatic precipitator applicable in a subway air conditioning system. We studied the characteristics of collection efficiency of 0.3 ㎛ particle and ozone generation at different charger sizes and gaps of collector plates. Also, we compared the performance of the two-stage ESP to the MERV 10 filter with the removal efficiency of 10% used in actual subway air conditioning system. The maximum collection efficiency of 0.3 ㎛ particle was 93% at A charger (600 mm×250 mm×600 mm) and 84% at B charger (330 mm×280 mm×330 mm). Especially, with voltages applied to chargers with collection efficiency of about 80% or more, the ozone concentration of two different chargers was 5 ppb to 35 ppb. Finally, the filter quality of the collector developed in this study was 400 times higher than that of the MERV 10 filter. Therefore, it was concluded that the two-stage ESP could be a promising PM removal device suitable for subway air conditioning system.
