  • Phylogenetic analyses were carried out using four Indonesian native chicken breeds; Kampung, Bangkok, Pelung and Kedu. Gene frequencies of four blood group (A, B, D and E) and eight electrophoretic loci (akp, Akp-2, Es-1, Amy-1, Alb, Tf, Pas and Pa-1) were examined. Geographical and breed specific trends in the gene frequencies were not found in the local population of Kampung breed or in four native breeds. The values of average heterozygosity were estimated as 0.35-0.45. Genetic distances among the local populations of Kampung breed and other native breeds were comparatively small. In a cluster analysis, the Bangkok breed and Kampung E population showed distance from another cluster. The coefficient of gene differentiation for local populations of Kampung breed was estimated as 0.099.

  • The present study is the first report of molecular variations in different accessions of Rauvolfia tetraphylla L.f, a medicinally important plant collected from seven locations of Andhra Pradesh, India. Molecular analysis was carried out using RAPD markers. Out of the 40 primers screened from OPA and OPC Kts, a total of 205 scorable polymorphic markers out of 397 total markers were generated. Polymorphism of 51.6% was found with 3 unique markers. Levels of genetic diversity within accessions i.e., the genetic distance ranged from 0.816-0.932. Cluster analysis based on Dice coefficient showed two major groups indicating that mostly in cross-pollinated plants, high levels of differentiation among accessions exists independent of geographical distance. Hence the results of the present study can be seen as a starting point for future researches on the population and evolutionary genetics of this species. Understanding such variation would also facilitate their use in various conservational management practices, rootstock breeding and hybridisation programmes.

  • Though many have studied choosing one of the alternative ways to reach a destination, the factors such as average road speed, distance, and number of traffic signals, traffic congestion, safety, and services still presents an indisputable challenge. This paper proposes two approaches: Appropriate membership function and ambiguous rule-based approach. It aims to tackle the route choice problem faced by almost all drivers in any city. It indirectly helps in tackling the problem of traffic congestion. The proposed approach considers the preference of each driver which is determined in a flexible way like a human and stored in the driver profile. These preferences relate to the criteria for evaluating each candidate route, considering the average speed, distance, safety, and services available. An illustrative case study demonstrates the added value of the proposed approach compared to some other approaches.

  • Background: Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species of forest understory vegetation, is an herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Aristolochiaceae. The metapopulation of A. sieboldii is distributed sparsely and has a short seed dispersal distance by ants as their seed distributor. It is known that many flowers of A. sieboldii depend on self-fertilization. Because these characteristics can affect negatively in genetic structure, investigating habitat structure and assessment of genetic structure is needed. A total of 27 individuals in a valley were sampled for measuring genetic diversity, genetic distance, and genetic differentiation by RAPDPCR. Results: The habitat areas of A. sieboldii metapopulation were relatively small (3.78~33.60 m2) and population density was very low (five to seven individuals in 20×20 m quadrat). The habitat of A. sieboldii was a very shady (relative light intensity = 0.9%) and mature forest with a high evenness value (J = 0.81~0.99) and a low dominance value (D = 0.19~0.28). The total genetic diversity of A. sieboldii was quite high (h = 0.338, I = 0.506). A total of 33 band loci were observed in five selected primers, and 31 band loci (94%) were polymorphic. However, genetic differentiation along the valley was highly progressed (Gst = 0.548, Nm = 0.412). The average genetic distance between subpopulations was 0.387. The results of AMOVA showed 52.77% of variance occurs among populations, which is evidence of population structuring. Conclusions: It is expected that a small-scale founder effect had occurred, an individual spread far from the original subpopulation formed a new subpopulation. However, geographical distance between individuals would have been far and genetic flow occurred only within each subpopulation because of the low density of population. This made significant genetic distance between the original and new population by distance. Although genetic diversity of A. sieboldii metapopulation is not as low as concerned, the subpopulation of A. sieboldii can disappear by stochastic events due to small subpopulation size and low density of population. To prevent genetic isolation and to enhance the stable population size, conservative efforts such as increasing the size of each subpopulation or the connection between subpopulations are needed.

  • Ecklonia cava Kjellman is a common kelp found in shallow subtidal in warm-temperate waters in the northwest Pacific Ocean. This species has shown substantial morphological variation along with subsistence in different locations and local environments. We quantified the magnitude of morphological variation of E. cava from six populations along ~700 km of coastline from Jeju Island to Dokdo in Korea. In addition, we examined genetic distance among the populations using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Most morphological characteristics investigated were significantly different among locations. Multivariate analyses indicated two phenetically distinct groups (nearshore, sheltered vs. offshore, exposed), indicating wave exposure with turbidity are presumably major factors for the separation. With RAPD data, results of Nei's diversity (H) and AMOVA showed considerable variations in within- and between-populations. Pairwise ${\Phi}_{ST}$ and $N_m$ values indicated moderate gene flow between the six locations. Results of Nei's analysis revealed three genetically distinct groups, not consistent with the morphological groupings, indicating that a time gap may exist between morphological and genetic variations. This study also suggests dispersal distance of this kelp may be longer than what is commonly thought and genetic similarity in the populations was largely reflected by the direction of ocean current rather than just geographical distance.

  • The advantages of implementing a virtual channel can be derived from the notion of the 'death of distance' that would result from electronic commerce. According to this view, the internet was going to make distance irrelevant, in that firms would no longer need to establish a physical presence in a geographical location in order to do business there. However, on-line firms selling physical products could take advantages of presence in the related off-line(brick and mortar) industrial area. This paper developed a conceptual framework that highlights the various types of synergies by location on-line businesses in the related off-line industrial area. Using data from 96 on-line ventures selling physical products, factor analysis was used to figuring out six synergies including improved customer trust, value-added service, cost savings, personnel and organizational efficiency, sharing products and customer information, relationship with suppliers, and relationship with local government. The six empirically derived critical synergy factors were then used to examine how they improve performance of the on-line ventures measured by Balanced Scorecard(BSC). According to lthe results, we concluded that the on-line firms selling physical products can take advantages of presence in the related off-line industrial area.

  • 본 논문에서는, ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) 라우팅 프로토콜의 브로드캐스트 스톰 문제가 발생하지 않는 이동 애드혹 네트워크를 위한 새로운 온디맨드 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 경로요청 패킷을 송신하는 노드와 목적지의 위치 정보를 이용하여, 경로요청 패킷을 전달할 수 있는 후보를 지리적으로 제한한다. 그 다음에, AODV의 원리를 따르는 라우팅 프로토콜들은 최초로 수신된 경로요청 패킷 이외의 중복 수신되는 경로요청 패킷을 모두 버리지만, 제안하는 라우팅 프로토콜은 중복 수신되는 경로요청 패킷을 해석하여, 경로요청 패킷의 불필요한 중복 재방송을 회피하고 송신한 경로요청 패킷에 대한 수동 ACK 기능을 수행한다. 제안하는 라우팅 프로토콜을 AODV의 소스 코드를 수정하여 QualNet으로 구현하고 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 기존 AODV 대비, 노드 밀집도가 높고 트래픽이 많은 네트워크의 패킷 전달 비율 및 시간 지연을 크게 향상시킨다.

  • 대동여지전도는 표기된 지명과 "대동여지도"와의 관련성으로 볼 때 1861년대에서 1866년 사이에 제작된 것으로 추정된다. "대동여지전도"는 일부에서의 주장처럼 내용이 조잡하고 오류가 많은 지도가 아니라 오히려 "대동여지도"의 표현기법을 활용하면서도 최신의 정보를 수록하고 있으며 도리(道里)의 표기에서는 19세기의 대표적인 목판본 지도인 "해좌전도"보다 훨씬 뛰어나다. "대동여지도"가 군사 행정적 목적에서 제작된 관부용(官府用)지도라면 "대동여지전도"는 군사 행정적 사항뿐만 아니라 사회 경제적 내용들도 많이 반영된 대중용 지도라 할 수 있다. 아울러 "대동여지전도"에는 당시 사람들이 지니고 있던 산천인식 체계가 잘 반영되어 있는데, 국토를 살아있는 생명체에 비유하는 유기체적 관점이 지도를 관통하고 있다. 또한 산수분합(山水分合)의 원리가 지도상에 잘 구현되어 있으며 도로망과 거리의 표시, 호수(湖水)영향권의 표시 등은 현대지도에 견주어도 손색이 없다.

  • Back injury is frequent in industry workers and is a common cause of productivity loss. It has been reported that the insured of industrial accident insurance tend to stay in hospital longer than that of other types of insurance. The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting the length of hospital stay for the treatment of back injury in the workers under industrial accident insurance. The results of this study help insurers develop reasonable industrial accident insurance policy for back injury claims and prevention strategies of work-related back injury. A total of 2,949 patients whose industrial accident insurance claim has been approved for the treatment of work-related back injury from January to December 1999 were included in this study. Relationship between the length of hospital stay and characteristics of patient, work place, back injury, and hospital were assessed using ANOVA, t-test, simple linear regression and multiple resgression. The major findings of this study are as follows : 1. The average length of hospital stay(LOS) was 91.82 days, respectively. 2. Characteristics of Patient LOS of male patients was longer than that of female patients, there was positive correlation between age and LOS and between average wage and LOS. Working period was negatively correlated with LOS. Distance from resident to hospital was positively correlated with LOS and LOS was significantly different dependign on type of duty. 3. Characteristics of Work Place LOS was significantly different depending on types of industry and geographical region of work place. Size of work place was positively correlated with LOS. 4. Characteristics of Back Injury Occupational back pain required shorter LOS compared with back injury due to electric shock. Number of concomitant illnesses and severity of disability were positively correlated with LOS. 5. Characteristics of Hospital Patients treated in community hospitals required significantly longer LOS. Treatment in hospitals with rehabilitation program required decreased LOS. This was more prominent as number of physicians specialized in rehabilitation. 6. Multiple regression analysis revealed that distance form resident to hospital, geographical region of work place, size of work place, number of concomitant illnesses, severity of disability, and type of hospital were factors affecting LOS.

  • 공간정보를 전달하고 이해하는 과정에서 여러 가지 원인으로 의사소통의 불일치가 발생한다. 이 연구의 목적은 '맞은편' 이라는 공간언어를 통해 공간언어가 갖고 있는 의미의 모호성이 사람들 간 의사소통 문제를 일으키는 하나의 원인이 된다는 점을 실험을 통해서 증명하는 것이다. 단순화된 '사거리'를 활용하는 평가도구를 통해 실험 참가자들이 생각하는 '맞은편'은 어디이며, 그 방향이 맞은편을 얼마나 정확하게 의미하는지를 조사하였다. 본 실험은 대부분의 실험 참가자들이 한 방향 이상을 '맞은편'으로 적절하다고 판단하고 있음을 밝혔다. 이러한 결과는 '맞은편' 이라는 용어가 갖고 있는 의미의 모호성을 증명하는 것이다. 대부분의 실험 참가자들은 준거로 주어진 정사각형 건물의 수직과 수평 방향을 고르게 '맞은편'으로 고려하는 경향을 보였다. 준거가 되는 건물의 형태 변화, 준거가 되는 건물에 내재적 방향성 부여 등도 '맞은편' 의 방향을 결정하는데 의미 있는 영향을 주는 것으로 드러났다.
