Background : It is well known that only 10% of those infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis actually develop clinical disease, indicating the existence of host genetic factors regulating disease expression. In this study, we investigated HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 gene polymorphisms in Korean patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Methods : HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 gene polymorphisms were investigated in 67 PTB patients without previous treatment history, 38 drug-sensitive (DS) and 29 multidrug-resistant (MDR) cases, and 200 healthy controls. HLA-DRB1 typing was done using reverse SSO (sequence specific oligonucleotide) and PCR-SSCP (single strand conformational polymorphism) methods and DQB1 typing was done using PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), PCR-SSCP and PCR-SSP (sequence specific primer) methods. Results : Among the PTB patients, MDR-TB cases showed frequencies of DRB1*0701 and *08032 increased by about two-fold compared to those of normal controls, and likewise for their associated DQB1 alleles, DQB1*0202 and *0601 (15.5% vs. 34.5%, p=0.01). The frequency of HLA-DQB1*0609 was significantly increased in PTB patients (4.0% vs. 14.9%, p=0.004), showing similar increases in both DS and MDR cases. There was also an association of HLA alleles with the clinical severity of the disease according to the extent of lung lesion. Significantly increased frequencies of DRB1*08032 (4.2% vs. 32.6%, p=0.007) and DQB1*0601 (12.5% vs. 34.9%, p=0.047) were observed in more advanced (moderately & far advanced/DS and far advanced/MDR), compared with less advanced (minimal/DS and moderately advanced/MDR) lung lesions. Although DRB1*0701, DQB1*0202 and DQB1*0609 showed significant increases in different subsets of the disease, these HLA alleles did not show consistent association with disease severity. Conclusion : HLA-DRB1*08032 and DQB1*0601 alleles were associated with genetic susceptibility to MDR-TB in Korean patients, and also with disease severity and progression of PTB.

A modeling technique is proposed for dynamic simulations of OHC valve trains with HLA(hydraulic lash adiuster). HLA is expressed by an air-oil mixture model considering HLA leak-down and aeraton effects. A compact nonlinear equation is derived which describe the short term dynamic behavior of the HLA. Valve spring is analyzed by a distributed parameter model including nonlinear characteristics in the spring surge phenomena. Global behavior of the remaining valve train is expressed by a lumped mass model. The experiental results prove that the simulation model developed here is accurate and useful for the dynamic simulations of OHC valve trains with HLA.

Development of distributed simulation environment must be required in order to simulate the distributed models regionally and inter-operate with running simulations individually, Simulation based on DEVS formalism is difficult to simulate the distributed models. DEVS formalism is modeling methodology. To specify model, this formalism separates behavior and structure, therefore it is able to design complex model easily. HLA is standard framework of distribute simulation environment, It is defined to facilitate the interoperability and the reusability. RTI (Run Time Infrastructure) is software that provides common service to simulation systems and implementation of the HLA Interface Specification. Method of implementation is that modules cooperating with RTI are added to simulator on DEVS simulation environment. On the DEVS simulation environment (DEVS-Obj -C) that already developed, Highest class of abstract simulator uses service that RTI provide, then This environment is able to change DEVS model into Federate and run distribute simulation that inter-operates with the RTI. Because this distributed simulation environment includes convenience of modeling that obtains through the DEVS formalism and accompanies HLA standard, this environment make it possible to simulate with_ complex systems and heterogeneous simulations

HLA는 상호 운용성과 재사용성을 목적으로 미국 국방성 산하 기관인 DMSO에서 개발되어진 분산 시스템 프레임워크이다. 이러한 HLA가 민간 부분 적용을 위해 표준이 발표되었고, HLA는 여러 분야의 범용성을 가지기 위해 복잡한 구현 시스템을 가지게 된다. 특히, 객체의 속성변화를 반영하기 위해서는 많은 통신 부하가 발생한다. 이런 단점을 해결하기 위해 제안하였던 객체 관리 모듈을 이용한 항공 교통관제 시뮬레이션을 구현하여 객체 관리 모듈의 성능 및 적용 분야를 평가한다.

HLA-RTI is middleware for the distribute simulation that developed in the US Department of Defense. This provides fast accomplishment speed and reliability than distribute simulation Middleware by transfer. However, DDM(Data Distribution Management) service is used as data filtering technology in the existing HLA-RTI. As for this, the problem that network traffic increases in data exchange between the mobility simulation objects is generated. it proposes applying agent technology to the mobility simulation object in order to solve these problems in this paper in this. And this paper applies that to practical simulation and analyzes performance between each data filtering technology with comparison.

There are plenty of optimization models for the signal-system of a single intersection and area traffic. Some of those models are adopted for the real traffic signal control system. The simulators for a single crossroad have been developed, so that we could evaluate optimization models and traffic control systems. However, the simulators for the area traffic are still being developed. Therefore, there are many limitations in the analysis and evaluation for area traffic control system. The area traffic is consisted of several intersections which are very complicated and many traffic strategies are adopted for the control system. This paper features an effective area traffic control system based on the High Lever Architecture(HLA). In this paper, we discuss the design of HLA-based area traffic control simulation. We describe technical motivations for the HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability. A distributed simulation with HLA/RTI provides stable and satisfactory experimental results. Moreover, the prototype traffic control system provides reliable accomplishment compared to the NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F models.

High Level Architecture(HLA) is a specification for interoperation among heterogeneous simulators which are executed in a distributed environment. HLA originally allows a number of federates to join in a federation using a single RTI(Run-Time Infrastructure). To interoperate federations without modifying RTI, agent federate, which represents behavior of a federation, can be used. Agent federate can use MOM(Management Object Model) service or agent-user protocol to acquire information of a federation. This paper performs various experiments to measure performance of two architectures. MOM service shows a loss of performance but can be applied without modifying user federates. Experiment results can be used to determine appropriate architecture for interoperation of federations.

여러 가지 필수적인 윤활유 성상과 함께 요즘 개발된 엔진에서 요구되는 중요한 특성 중 하나가 윤활유 내의 공기 혼입(aeration) 문제이다. 만일 윤활유 내에 공기가 일정 한도 이상 혼입되면 윤활유가 수행하는 일반 기능 중 하중을 분산시키는 압력 분산 작용과 윤활 작용 및 마찰열을 식혀 주는 냉각 작용이 제대로 되지 않아 엔진 수명과 내구성에 심각한 문제를 초래한다. 특히 현재 밸브 소음 저감 및 정비성 향상을 위해 대부분의 엔진에서 채용하고 있는 hydraulic valve lash adjuster(HLA)에 미치는 영향이 가장 심각하다. HLA는 그 작동 특성이 엔진 오일의 비 압축성을 이용하고 있기 때문에 만일 HLA 내부의 고압실에 공기가 오일에 섞여 들어간다변 밸브 시스템 강성이 떨어지게 되어 오히려 HLA 사용 목적에 반해 밸크 이상 거동에 의한 소음이 유발될 뿐만 아니라 심하면 밸브가 파단되는 심각한 현상이 초래되기도 한다. 상기한 바와 같이 aeration 현상은 경우에 따라 매우 심각한 문제를 유발하기도 하며 엔진이 고속 고출력화 하면서 그 특성은 더욱 관심사가 되어 왔다. 따라서 엔진 각 부분의 올바른 기능과 신뢰성 확보를 위해 aeration의 특징 발생 원인 및 대책을 살펴보고 특히 oil aeration이 HLA와 엔진 베어링에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석 고찰해 봄으로써 그 특성을 이해하고자 한다.

Although a number of container terminal simulators have been developed for various purposes, none of the existing simulators allow the system structure to reuse the system structure depending on application. Our goal is to develop highly reusable, highly inter-operable and flexible container terminal simulation system. The High Level Architecture(HLA) is an architecture for reuse and inter-operation of simulation. It is based on premise that no simulation can satisfy all use and users. An individual simulation or set of simulations developed for one purpose can be applied to another application under the HLA concept of the federation : a composable set of interacting simulations. The intent of the HLA is a structure which will support reuse of capabilities available in different simulations, ultimately reducing the cost and time required to create a synthetic environment for a new purpose, and the possibility of distributed collaborative development of complex simulation applications. In this paper, we discuss the design of a HLA-based port container terminal simulation system. Furthermore, we describe various technical motivations for HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability.
