In this paper, the specimens-($Ba_{0.997}$ L $a_{0.003}$)Ti $O_{3}$ + xTi $O_{2}$, x=0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03[mol]- were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method which is easy in microstructure control and good in mass production. Their crystalline structures and microstructures were analysed, and electrical properties were investigated. The perovskite-crystalline structure is confirmed by XRD, and it is exhibited by SEM that the grain grows with an addition of Ti $O_{2}$. Resistivity decreases with increasing sinteiing temperature, and the specimen of ($Ba_{0.997}$ L $a_{0.003}$)Ti $O_{3}$ + 0.02Ti $O_{2}$ sintered at 1350.deg. C shows the best PTC effects. The complex impedance plots exhibit the serial equivalent circuit of ( $R_{gb}$ / $C_{gb}$ ) and $R_{g}$ it is realized that PTC effect is attributed to the resistivity of grain boundary.ary.y.

Numerous restraints and simplifications have been developed for methods that anticipate protein structure to reduce the colossal magnitude of possible conformational states. In this study, we investigated if globularity is a general characteristic of proteins and whether they can be applied as a valid constraint in protein structure simulations with approximated measurements (Gb-index). Unexpectedly, most of the proteins showed strong structural globularity (i.e., mode of approximately 76% similarity to the perfect globe) with only a few percent of proteins being outliers. Small proteins tended to be significantly non-globular ($R^2$=0.79) and the minimum Gb-index showed a logarithmic increase with the increase in protein size ($R^2$=0.62), strongly implying that the non-globular characteristics might be more acceptable for smaller proteins than larger ones. The strong perfect globe-like character and the relationship between small size and the loss of globular structure of a protein may imply that living organisms have mechanisms to aid folding into the globular structure to reduce irreversible aggregation. This also implies the possible mechanisms of diseases caused by protein aggregation, including some forms of trinucleotide repeat expansion-mediated diseases.

A Literatur Review of Physical and Breathing Exercises for Ear Health, the results were as follows. 1. The most common using way is rubbing your ears and auricle with warm palms. 2. To stimulate inner acoustic meatus, obstruct external acoustic meatus for a short time by the palm or fingers and then to stimulate it by the sudden opening. 3. This method is a common way to press aurical or orifice of external acoustic meatus for example, TE21(耳門), TE20(角孫), GB2(聽會), TE19(노息), TE18(계脈), GB11(竅陰), TE17(예風) etc. 4. The best time to pratice is early in the morning or before go to bed, but a litter difference by the writer's opinion, so there is not consistency. 5. Since tinnitus and hardness of hearing is related to the who1e body, it is known that you can relax your whole body by pressing the acupuncture points located in the head of occipital region or by stretching the upper half of the body. 6. There is method that obstruct your ears with palms and 3rd finger on your occipital region and splash by the 2th fingers.(sound the celestial drum)

We attempted to identify parasite DNA in the biliary stones of humans via PCR and DNA sequencing. Genomic DNA was isolated from each of 15 common bile duct (CBD) stones and 5 gallbladder (GB) stones. The patients who had the CBD stones suffered from cholangitis, and the patients with GB stones showed acute cholecystitis, respectively. The 28S and 18S rDNA genes were amplified successfully from 3 and/or 1 common bile duct stone samples, and then cloned and sequenced. The 28S and 18S rDNA sequences were highly conserved among isolates. Identity of the obtained 28S D1 rDNA with that of Clonorchis sinensis was higher than 97.6%, and identity of the 18S rDNA with that of other Ascarididae was 97.9%. Almost no intra-specific variations were detected in the 28S and 18S rDNA with the exception of a few nucleotide variations, i.e., substitution and deletion. These findings suggest that C. sinensis and Ascaris lumbricoides may be related with the biliary stoneformation and development.

Recently, ITU-T recommends that FlexE, which allows the flexible configuration of Ethernet signals, be received by OTN for transparent transmission through OTN. To compensate for the difference in bit rate that can occur when mapping FlexE signals to OTN payload, an idle codeword is removed or inserted. However, the detailed functional blocks required to implement this method are not yet available. In this paper, based on the recent ITU-T requirements, a detailed functional block for OTN mapping of FlexE signals is proposed based on 400G class. In addition, based on the detailed functional blocks, mathematical analysis was performed to obtain the characteristics of removing and inserting idle code words, and the simulation results are shown.

Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) is a highly mountainous and remote region covering 45% of Upper Indus Basin (UIB) with around 1.8 million population is vulnerable to climate change and socio-economic growth makes water resources management and planning more complex. To understand the water scarcity in the region this study is carried out to project water supply and demand for agricultural and domestic sector under various climate-socio-economic scenarios in five sub catchments of GB i.e., Astore, Gilgit, Hunza, Shigar and Shyok for a period of 2015 to 2050 using Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model. For climate change scenario ensembled mean of three global climate models (GCMs) was used under three different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5). The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and agricultural Land Development (LD) scenarios were combined with climate scenarios to develop climate-socio-economic scenario. Our results indicate that the climate change and socio-economic growth would create a gap between supply and demand of water in the region, with socio-economic growth (e.g. agricultural and population) as dominant external factor that would reduce food production and increase poverty level in the region. Among five catchments only Astore and Gilgit will face shortfall of water while Shyoke would face shortfall of water only under agricultural growth scenarios. We also observed that the shortfall of water in response to climate-socio-economic scenarios is totally different over two water deficient catchments due to its demography and geography. Finally, to help policy makers in developing regional water resources and management policies we classified five sub catchments of UIB according to its water deficiency level.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of processing methods of barley as a proper source of grain in diets of Hanwoo on fermentation pattern in the rumen fluid and digestibility of the diets, the growth performance and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo. The degree of ruminal pH change in the cows fed diets of the Corn(corn basis) and GDRB(ground and dry-rolled barley) tended to be greater than those in the cows fed other two diets (ground barley, GB and dry-rolled barley, DRB). The diet of GDRB showed the lowest ruminal pH(5.5), indicating the rapid degradation of the diet in the rumen. Although ammonia concentration was not affected by diet, the GR and DBR diets maintained the low concentrations of ruminal ammonia compared with other two treatments. And the effects of feeding processed barley grain on body weight gain and meat quality of Hanwoo steers were as follows. Steers fed DRB diet had the highest body weight, 683.0kg at 28 months old, while those fed the GDRB showed the lowest body weight, 653.3kg. The average daily gain(ADG) was similar between the steers fed Corn and GR throughout the whole period, but the GDRB showed the lowest ADG. The steers fed the DRB showed the significant increase in ADG(0.89kg/d from 19 to 23 months old and 0.43kg/d from 24 to 28 months old) compared with those fed other diets. Feeding diets containing corn and/or barley did not influence live body weight, cold carcass weight, carcass yield, back-fat thickness and carcass grade of Hanwoo steers.

This paper describes a CMOS 16:1 binary-tree multiplexer(MUX) using $0.18-{\mu}m$ technology. To provide immunity for wide frequency range and process-and-temperature variations, the MUX adopts several delay compensation techniques. Simulation results show that the proposed MUX maintains the setup margins and hold margins close to the optimal value, i.e., 0.5UI, in wide frequency-range and in wide process-and-temperature variations, with standard deviation of 0.05UI approximately. These results represent that these proposed delay compensations are effective and the reliability is much improved although CMOS logic circuits are sensitive to those variations. The MUX is fabricated using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and tested with a test board. At power supply voltage of 1.8-V, maximum data-rate and area of the MUX is 1.65-Gb/s and 0.858 $mm^2$, respectively. The MUX dissipates a power of 24.12 mW, and output eye opening is 272.53 mV, 266.55 ps at 1.65-Gb/s operation.

Objectives : Cnidium officinale(CO) has been used for medication for stroke in the Oriental Medicine. So this study was planned to investigate the effects of CO on the focal ischemia-induced by Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion(MCAO) in rats Materials and methods : The focal ischemia was induced by MCAO. CO extracts through oral administration and herbal acupuncture at GB2l was carried out during 3 weeks after focal ischemia-induced. Eight-arm radial maze was used for the behavioral task. For the neuroprotective effect of CO, we investigated AchE, ChAT, and NGF-expression by immnohistochemical method. Results : The error rate in the eight-arm radial maze task was significantly decreased in normal group compared to control group on 1-6days, OA-CO1(CO oral administration, 0.8g/kg) group on 1-6days, OA-CO2(CO oral administration, 1.6g/kg) group on 1-3,5,6days, HA-CO1(CO herbal acupuncture, 0.016g/kg) group on 2,3,6days, HA-CO2(CO herbal acupuncture, 0.008g/kg) group on 1-3,5,6days. The rate of correct choice was significantly increased in OA-CO1, HA-CO2. The density of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 was the most increased in OA-CO1, HA-CO1, HA-CO2. The density of ChAT in the hippocampal CA1 was increased in OA-CO1, HA-CO2. The density of ChAT in the hippocampal CA1 was significantly increased in OA-CO1, HA-CO2. The density of NGE in the hippocampal CAI was significantly increased in OA-CO1, OA-CO2, HA-CO2. Conclusions : These results suggest that CO oral administration with 0.8g/kg and CO herbal acupuncture with 0.008g/kg might be used as a regulator of cell death of cholinergic system induced by stroke.

기존 라우터시스템에서의 패킷 포워딩 엔진은 최적화된 룩업 알고리즘을 통한 소프트웨어 방식으로 구현되었으나, 처리해야 할 데이터가 폭주하면서 전용화된 룩업칩을 이용한 포워딩 엔진으로 대체되어 가고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 룩업칩 기반 패킷 포워딩 엔진은 가격이 비싼 것은 물론. 급변하는 통신 프로토콜에 적응하기 힘든 단점을 가지게 되었으며, 이로 인해서 최근에는 Network Processor 기반의 패킷 포워딩 엔진에 대한 개발이 활발해지고 있다. 본 연구소에서도 초고속광가입자망 사업에 적용되는 포워딩 엔진을 IBM의 2.5G Network Processor 인 NP4GS3 칩을 이용하고 있으며, GbE／POS／E-PON 등의 인터페이스를 지원하고 있다. 또한 본 사업에서는 가입자망에서의 Layer2 broadcasting시의 트래픽 폭주와 가입자간의 보안 기능 등을 지원하기 위해 VLAN 서비스를 적용할 예정이다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 VLAN 기능에 대해서 알아보고, IBM NP4GS3에서 지원되는 VLAN 기능을 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 NP4GS3 기반 패킷 포워딩 엔진에서 VLAN 구현 방안에 대하여 기술하였다.
