To improve regeneration efficiency of Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis (chinese cabbage) in vitro, the effect of ehtylene inhibitors [AgNO$_3$ and silver thiosulfate (STS)] and optimal age of explantse were investigated. On the effect of ethylene inhibitors either 100 $\mu$M of AgNO$_3$ or 5 $\mu$M of STS enhanced shoot regeneration from cotyledons when it was added in basal shoot induction media(MS salts, B5 vitamine, sucrose 2%, BA 2.0mg/L, NAA 1.0mg/L). But at higher concentrations, AgNO$_3$ induced abnormal shoots, and STS greatly reduced regeneration frequency. On the other hand, the maximum regeneration rate was obtained from the cotyledons taken from 3-day old seedlings. However there was no distinctive effect among the containers used for cultivation. The most optimal condition of root induction was a minimal Murashige and Skoog media containing 0.1 mg/L NAA. In order to induce bolting and flowering from in vitro regenerated chinese cabbage, the plant were healed at 4$^{\circ}C$ for weeks in a cold chamber. When they were planted in pots, the plane produced phenotipically normal flowers and seeds. The overall results suggest that ethylene inhibitors promote regeneration of shoot from cotyledons of chinese cabbage without alleviating fertility.

An information retrieval system has to retrieve all and only documents which are relevant to a user query, even if index terms and query terms are not matched exactly. However, term mismatches between index terms and qucry terms have been a serious obstacle to the enhancement of retrieval performance. In this paper, we discuss automatic term normalization between words in text corpora and their application to a Korean information retrieval system. We perform two types of term normalizations to alleviate semantic term mismatches: equivalence class and co-occurrence cluster. First, transliterations, spelling errors, and synonyms are normalized into equivalence classes bv using contextual similarity. Second, context-based terms are normalized by using a combination of mutual information and word context to establish word similarities. Next, unsupervised clustering is done by using K-means algorithm and co-occurrence clusters are identified. In this paper, these normalized term products are used in the query expansion to alleviate semantic tem1 mismatches. In other words, we utilize two kinds of tcrm normalizations, equivalence class and co-occurrence cluster, to expand user's queries with new tcrms, in an attempt to make user's queries more comprehensive (adding transliterations) or more specific (adding spc'Cializationsl. For query expansion, we employ two complementary methods: term suggestion and term relevance feedback. The experimental results show that our proposed system can alleviatl' semantic term mismatches and can also provide the appropriate similarity measurements. As a result, we know that our system can improve the rctrieval efficiency of the information retrieval system.

The heat generated at the motor and inverter inside the electric compressor of inverter built-in type is mainly cooled by refrigerant and generally, there is not a thermal problem. However, the close relation of heat transfer from the motor and inverter parts to the compression part affects on compressor efficiency. Also, according to the surrounding environment and system operation condition, the increased temperature of the motor and inverter can affect the power density of the motor system, and especially, the inverter may be prevented to operate by the temperature limits. In this study, we performed thermo-flow analysis of electric compressor motor system, and investigated the heat dissipation enhancement of the motor and inverter. The motor part in the operation region of the electric compressor was generally maintained at low temperature and the inverter part at high compressor speed was lower temperature than the temperature limit of $85^{\circ}C$. However, the case of the inverter at low speed harsh condition was in excess of $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, in order to solve the thermal problem, the heat reduction technology of the motor and inverter is essential as well as the improvement of flow path in the compressor.

Computational chemistry is one of the chemistry fields that deals with the theoretical chemistry problem using computer calculations and can be described as the chemistry lab moved on computer space. In line with recent enhancement of processing capability of computers, utilization of high performance computer cannot be overemphasized in the field of computational chemistry in performing complex calculation of huge molecular structure and simulation. While they have to use commands and consoles for high performance computer to execute complex calculation of huge molecular structure and simulation, most of students in natural science and engineering, who are not experts in computer technically, are likely to be unaware of UNIX. Under the circumstances, web-based educational support system for computational chemistry is needed to enable them to practice computational chemistry, even not knowing UNIX command. In this study, e-Chem, one of such educational support systems, is developed by using Liferay portal platform, which is a Java open source more oriented to standard and outstanding in its content management and collaboration function than other web portals. By using this system, even students who are not familiar with computer, are expected to take part in lab classes and save time learning Unix command and also enhance the learning efficiency by using familiar interface.

As the wireless mobile communication is being widespread, mobile technologies will have important roles in the communication with the explosive growth of demanding for wireless portable devices. Among the mobile technologies, a great deal of interest has been taken in mobile ad hoc network (MANET), which is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network without the aid of stationary infrastructure in recent. Furthermore, considering characteristic of ad hoc networks, the design of efficient routing protocols is an important issue. In recent years, on-demand protocols among routing protocols have noticed because of the low routing overhead. However, on-demand protocols suffer from production of the enormous query Packets by broadcasting in order to setup routes, that is, a flooding scheme. The flooding scheme is very costly and results in serious problem, which we refer as the broadcast storm problem. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic Adaptation Query flooding Using Neighbor Topology (NT-DAQ) scheme, in order to resolve the broadcast storm Problem. When a route discovery is in progress, each mobile node decides on the basis of neighbor topology information whether discovery process participates or not. Therefore, our proposed scheme enables to improve network performance in which minimize the number of query rackets. We evaluate the efficiency of our proposed scheme through simulation.

To enhance the performance of an automobile turbocharger compressor, the circumferential inlet heights of the volute were modified and the flow field for the combined region of the diffuser and volute was numerically investigated using commercial software. Basically, a well-designed volute should have a high pressure recovery coefficient and a low loss coefficient for the total pressure. In this study, two circular volutes with the same cross sectional shape and tongue angle, but circumferentially different volute inlet heights, were selected. One volute had the middle inlet in the cross-section at the circumferential angle of $90^{\circ}$ but gradually lower inlet heights for the angles between $90^{\circ}$ to $360^{\circ}$ with respect to the cross sectional center of the volute, while maintaining the same height between the tangential line connecting the lowest positions of the cross section and the line connecting the volute inlets in the circumferential direction (case 1 volute). The other volute has an inlet height that is 2 mm lower than in case 1 volute such that the tongue section has a tangential inlet (case 2 volute). The results showed that the case 2 volute had a higher total pressure ratio because of its higher pressure recovery coefficient and higher isentropic efficiency, resulting from the lower loss coefficient along the circumferential position than the case 1 volute.

As digital systems were introduced to automotive design in the mid 1980s, the design process has adopted many digital programs to save time compared to the conventional hand drafting. Digital technology was introduced not only to satisfy the reeds of the global environment, as the number of automobiles exported to many different parts of the world has increased, but also to save time and effort in developing several models of quality automobiles. Therefore, every automotive manufacturer in the world has expanded its virtual reality(VR) studio to establish visualization systems that visualize automobiles in the actual size and a co-operation system that enables simultaneous feedback from all of its design studios around the world. Unlike the existing design reviewing methos, the new improved feedback system is assessed as a reasonable method to evaluates and understand how the automobiles are actually manufactured in simulation. It is especially helpful when advanced products and concept cars require fast results. Other strengths of the new system include shorter development period, cost efficiency, no more manual labor, various designs within a short period of time, and realistic visualization of concepts. Large-scale products, including automobiles, need to be projected in the actual size and high clarity through the Power-wall System and are examined in a virtual space called a Cave. Therefore, it took much time to establish digital infrastructure. An infrastructure would constantly require system improvement and performance enhancement, but it is certain that now is the right time for the take-off to utilizing the strengths of digital design and improve the weaknesses. In this respect, this study provided an understanding of the importance of digital design based on digital reinforcements and examined an effective utilization of digital technology for an efficient development of automobiles in the future.

A submerged biofilm sequencing batch reactor (SBSBR) process, which liquor was internally circulated through sandfilter, was designed, and performances in swine wastewater treatment was evaluated under a condition of no external carbon source addition. Denitrification of NOx-N with loading rate in vertical and slope type of sandfilter was 19% and 3.8%, respectively, showing approximately 5 times difference, and so vertical type sandfilter was chosen for the combination with SBSBR. When the process was operated under 15 days HRT, 105L/hr.m3 of internal circulation rate and 54g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, treatment efficiencies of STOC, NH4-N and TN (as NH4-N plus NOx-N) was 75%, 97% and 85%, respectively. By conducting internal circulation through sandfilter, removal performances of TN were enhanced by 14%, and the elevation of nitrogen removal was mainly attributed to occurrence of denitrification in sandfilter. Also, approximately 57% of phosphorus was removed with the conduction of internal circulation through sandfilter, meanwhile phosphorus concentration in final effluent rather increased when the internal circulation was not performed. Therefore, It was quite sure that the continuous internal circulation of liquor through sandfilter could contribute to enhancement of biological nutrient removal. Under 60g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, the NH4-N level in final effluent was relatively low and constant(below 20mg/L) and over 80% of nitrogen removal was maintained in spite of loading rate increase up to 100g/m3.d. However, the treatment efficiency of nitrogen was deteriorated with further increase of loading rate. Based on this result, an optimum loading rate of nitrogen for the process would be 100g/m3.d.

To increase the efficiency of esterase production by Bacillus, high cell-density culture of recombinant Escherichia coli through fed batch fermentation was tested. Cells were cultured to $OD_{600}$ of 76 (35.8 g/l DCW) with dissolved oxygen level controlled to least above 30% air saturation by supplying pure oxygen. Cells were cultured to an $OD_{600}$ of 90 (42.4 g/l DCW) with glucose feeding controlled to at least 1 g/l. However, the cells reached stationary phase at the late stage of culture, despite glucose being supplied. Cells were cultured to an $OD_{600}$ of 185 (87.3 g/l DCW) by supplying additional medium with fortified yeast extract. To increase the productivity of the recombinant protein, cell growth and esterase productivity based on induction time were evaluated. Late exponential phase induction for esterase production in fed batch fermentation resulted in maximum optical density $OD_{600}$ of 190 (89 g/l DCW) and maximum esterase activity of 1745 U/l, corresponding to a 5.8-fold enhancement in esterase production, compared to the early exponential phase induction. In this study, we established fermentation methods for achieving maximum production of Bacillus-derived esterase by optimizing IPTG induction time in high-cell density culture by supplying pure oxygen and a nitrogen source.
