In navigation systems that use collected trajectory for routing, the number and diversity of trajectory data are crucial despite the infeasible limitation which is that all routes should be collected in person. This paper suggests an algorithm combining trajectories only by collected GPS data and generating new routes for solving this problem. Using distance between two trajectories, the algorithm estimates road intersection, in which it also predicts the correlated direction of them with geographical coordinates and makes a decision to combine them by the correlated direction. With combined and generated trajectory data, this combination way allows trajectory-based navigation to guide more and better routes. In our study, this solution has been introduced. However, the ways in which correlated direction is decided and post-process works have been revised to use the sequential pattern of triangles' area GPS information between two trajectories makes in road intersection and intersection among sets comprised of GPS points. This, as a result, reduces unnecessary combinations resulting redundant outputs and enhances the accuracy of estimating correlated direction than before.

Human infections due to the monkey malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi is increasingly being reported from most Southeast Asian countries specifically Malaysia. The parasite causes severe and fatal malaria thus there is a need for urgent measures for its control. In this study, the level of polymorphisms, haplotypes and natural selection of full-length pkmsp8 in 37 clinical samples from Malaysian Borneo along with 6 lab-adapted strains were investigated. Low levels of polymorphism were observed across the full-length gene, the double epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains were mostly conserved, and non-synonymous substitutions were absent. Evidence of strong negative selection pressure in the non-EGF regions were found indicating functional constrains acting at different domains. Phylogenetic haplotype network analysis identified shared haplotypes and indicated geographical clustering of samples originating from Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. This is the first study to genetically characterize the full-length msp8 gene from clinical isolates of P. knowlesi from Malaysia; however, further functional characterization would be useful for future rational vaccine design.

The genus Ochrolechia is a widespread, lichen genus in Korea. Despite being common, little is known about the species diversity and geographical distribution of Ochrolechia. In this study, we detailed the identification procedure of the genus Ochrolechia in a Korean collection and provided the description of each species. Using 104 specimens collected from 2003 to 2017, we identified four species of the genus Ochrolechia via morphological and/or molecular phylogenetic analysis: O. parellula, O. trochophora, O. yasudae and O. akagiensis. Among them, O. akagiensis had not been previously reported in Korea. Moreover, the species identified as O. frigida and O. tartarea in past studies were corrected as O. yasudae and O. parellula, respectively, based on morphological and/or molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analysis using the internal transcribed spacer regions including 5.8S rRNA gene showed that the four species separated clearly, indicating that the morphological identification corresponds to the phylogenetic identification. We provide a taxonomic key for the four species of the genus Ochrolechia.

The higher fragment sizes (>2,100 bp) are not observed in the two C. spp. populations. The six oligonucleotides primers OPA-11, OPB-09, OPB-14, OPB-20, OPC-14, and OPC-18 were used to generate the unique shared loci to each tonguesole population and shared loci by the two tonguesole populations. The hierarchical polar dendrogram indicates two main clusters: Gunsan (GUNSAN 01-GUNSAN 11) and the Atlantic (ATLANTIC 12-ATLANTIC 22) from two geographic populations of tonguesoles. The shortest genetic distance displaying significant molecular difference was between individuals' GUNSAN no. 02-GUNSAN no. 01 (genetic distance=0.038). In the long run, individual no. 02 of the ATLANTIC tonguesole was most distantly related to GUNSAN no. 06 (genetic distance=0.958). These results demonstrate that the Gunsan tonguesole population is genetically different from the Atlantic tonguesole population. The potential of PCR analysis to identify diagnostic markers for the identification of two tonguesole populations has been demonstrated. As a rule, using various oligonucleotides primers, this PCR method has been applied to identify polymorphic/specific markers particular to species and geographical population, as well as genetic diversity/polymorphism in diverse species of organisms.

African breast cancer patients benefit less from classical pathology services owing to the complex molecular and clinicopathological nature of the disease, poor quality of laboratory supplies, and shortage of experts in the field. This review presents evidence and confirms the need for improving anatomic pathology services in Africa. Peer-reviewed international journal articles available in Medline, Scopus, PubMed, and Google scholars, describing the status of pathology services in Africa, were included. Besides the late presentation of patients, anatomic pathology laboratories are accountable for the escalated mortality of breast cancer patients in several parts of Africa. Conversely, molecular diversity and biological heterogeneity of breast cancers, which disprove the one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach, have been reported from different parts of the continent. Irrespective of the geographical background, the choice of therapeutic options and predicting disease outcome depends on the right identification of the molecular signature of the cancer type. In conclusion, we propose that upgrading and integrating anatomic pathology with molecular diagnostic pathology is essential in order to provide better diagnostic results that will profoundly impact curbing mortality from breast cancers.

In this study, the community structure of marine benthic invertebrates was examined to evaluate the differences between the west, south, and east coasts of Korea and to identify the indicator species representing each region. Acrylic attachment plate sets were installed in Jeongok, Mokpo, Tongyeong, Yangpo, and Gangreung, and the invertebrate fauna thus captured were identified. Monitoring was performed in each area from March 2017 to May 2018. Water depth, temperature, and salinity at each location were measured to determine the potential influence of abiotic factors on the community structure. As a result, the mean depth of plates installed and the water temperature were significantly different in each area. A total of 32 invertebrate species were identified in all localities, and the most significant difference in the species compositions was found between Mokpo and Gangreung. The community structure differed significantly with a change in the plate depth, and a larger number of indicator species appeared on shallower plates. Finally, we determined the community structure of benthic invertebrates in different geographical regions of the Korean ocean by characterizing the dominant invertebrate taxa and the indicator species at each site.

금강과 만경강에 서식하는 멸종위기어류 감돌고기(Pseudopungtungia nigra)의 유전 다양성 및 집단 구조를 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)를 이용하여 분석하였다. AFLP분석은 5개의 primer 조합에서 447개의 유효밴드가 생성되었으며, 64.1%의 다양성을 보였다 (금강: 74.6%, 만경강: 53.6%). 집단 내 이형접합율은 금강 집단이 0.170, 만경강 집단이 0.104, 유전 다양성 수치는 금강 집단이 0.240, 만경강 집단이 0.147로 나타났다. 감돌고기 두 집단 간 분화도(Fst)는 0.150 수준에서 통계적으로 유의하여(P<0.05), 두 집단 사이에 유전적 분화를 나타내었다. 개체간의 UPGMA dendrogram을 분석한 결과 만경강 집단이 낮은 유전적 변이를 나타내었고, 지리적 지역에 대응하여 나뉘었으며, 두 집단 간 낮은 유전적 거리를 보였다(0.026). 따라서, 두 집단은 동일한 유전적 기원으로 추정되고, 감돌고기의 복원을 위한 친어 집단 선정을 위해서는 금강 집단이 적합하며, 만경강 집단은 유전적 및 서식지의 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study reveals the absence of standard design guidelines by region through investigation and analysis centered on public design cases by region in Jeollabuk-do and design elements that can reflect the integration, identity, and diversity of public design in each region by five regions. Through this, the following conclusions could be obtained. First, to improve the quality of street facilities in Jeollabuk-do, the design elements (design motif, color, pattern) applicable to the standard design were analyzed by dividing them into five regions. As a design motif, it was possible to extract patterns containing straight lines, sophistication, dignity, and smartness. In the Northeast region, it is comfortable with the motif of the mountain ridge reflecting geographical characteristics, and it can be extracted elements that contain warm and natural colors. In the southeastern region, patterns that reflect design elements were extracted by applying safe, lively, and peaceful colors with the design motif of curves that blend nature and agriculture. In the southwestern region, design pattern elements that highlight nature, history, and culture were extracted with various cultural assets and natural greenery as motifs. Lastly, in the Saemangeum region, the ocean flow and greenery could be used as a design motif to reflect a positive, clear, future-oriented image in the design spot zones by region. Second, based on the standard design elements (design motive, color, pattern) by region extracted for the standard design development of street facilities in each region in Jeollabuk-do, an integrated zone(Form, structure, material, color, functional element) to which regional design guidelines can be applied. Third, an integrated zone (form, structure, material, color, functional elements) was composed. In addition, design spot zones (patterns and colors in city and county units) that can contain the diversity and identity of each region were designated. By designating design spot zones (patterns and colors in city and county units) that can contain the diversity and identity of each region, standard design development plans (integrated pillars, jaywalking prevention fences, roundabouts (urban type, rural type), street trees) Eight standard designs, including protective covers, street planters, flat benches, light benches, visual media for user guidance, and parking zones for personal mobile devices) were presented.

본 연구는 환경부의 '전국 무인도서 자연환경조사 보고서(1999년∼2001년)'에서 발췌한 261개의 무인 도서를 대상으로 섬의 지리적 환경과 섬에 분포하는 관속식물의 종수 및 분포사이의 상관성을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 261개 도서의 평균 면적은 75,000㎡이며, 면적의 분포범위는 최소 1,l00㎡에서 최대 961,200㎡였다. 육지와의 최단거리 평균은 14.9km(150m∼51.4km)이었다. 261개 도서에서 관찰된 전체 종수는 30과 1,109 종으로, 각 도서당 관찰된 종수의 평균은 98.7종이었다. 자생식물은 1,003종(90.4%)이었으며, 귀화식물은 106종(9.6%)로 조사되었다. 그리고 조사된 전체 종수 중에서 국화과가 114종으로 가장 많았으며, 벼과 (90종), 콩과(54종), 장미과(53종) 순으로 나타났다. 261개 섬은 출현한 식물종의 구성에 근거하여 다차원척도분석을 실시한 결과 '남해그룹(130개 섬)'과 '서해그룹(131개 섬)'의 두 지역으로 뚜렷이 구분할 수 있었다. 서해그룹에 속하는 섬들은 남해그룹의 섬들에 비해 면적이 더 넓었으나(서해그룹 평균=93,000㎡, 남해그룹 평균=57,000㎡), 도서당 출현 종수는 적었다(서해그룹 평균=192, 남해그룹 평균=233). 또한 서해그룹보다는 남해그룹에만 한정적으로 분포하는 종들이 두 그룹을 구분하는데 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나서, 위도에 따른 식물 분포를 반영하고 있다. 출현하는 식물 종수에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 섬의 면적이었으며, 육지와의 최단거리와 인간의 간섭 인자 순으로 나타났다. 식물종수에 미치는 환경인자들은 서해그룹과 남해그룹에서 각기 다르게 나타났으며, 남해그룹의 섬들이 서해그룹의 섬들에 비하여 육지와의 거리가 가깝고 단위면적당 출현 종수가 많았기 때문에 보다 다양한 환경인자들에 의해 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 이상의 결과들은 무인도서 생태계 보존을 위해 중요하게 활용될 것으로 기대되며, 앞으로 인간간섭과 귀화식물종이 무인도서 생태계에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어질 것이다.
