In the past, radio astronomers have sought isolation from man-made signals by placing their telescopes in remote locations. These measures may no longer safeguard scientific observations, since NGSO satellite systems, particularly low-Earth orbit (LEO) systems, are usually designed to provide global or wide regional coverage. Further, radio astronomers have historically made their observations in the frequency bands allocated for their use by the member countries of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The science of radio astronomy could be adversely impacted by the deployment of large constellations of new non-geostationary orbiting (NGSO) satellites for telecommunications, navigation and Earth observation, and the proliferation of new, high-power broadcasting and telecommunication satellites in geostationary (GSO) orbits. Radio telescopes are extremely sensitive, and, in certain situations, signals from satellites can overwhelm the signals from astronomical sources. This paper describes the problem in detail and identifies ways to mitigate it without adversely affecting the continued vigorous growth of commercial space-based telecommunications.

In the conventional inverse modeling method for on-line modeling of the secondary path transfer function, the signal to noise ratio between the arbitrary random signal and the plant noise have to keep at -10 - -20 dB. For these reasons, the modeling can't be exactly implemented by the conventional method alone and the convergence time for modeling becomes too long. In this study, by combining the conventional inverse modeling method with an adaptive line enhancer, or with an adaptive noise canceller, a rigorous transfer functions of secondary path modeling and the control of a primary noise have been implemented simultaneously.

Objectives : To determine the contribution of cranial magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) for the evaluation of patients with ischemic cerebrovascular accident. Methods : Magnetic resonance image(MRI) and MRA studies performed on 34 patients with ischemic stroke were retrospectively reviewed with the clinical records. Results : There were 9 transient ischemic attacks and 25 completed strokes in our series. Twenty-three of 34 MRA examinations(68%) were positive for stenosis or occlusion. The distribution of stenotic or occlusive vascular lesions were correlated with the location of infarction in 22 of the 23 positive cases(96%). MRA provided additional information not obtained from the MRI in 19 cases(56%). Conclusions : Vascular lesions demonstrated on intracranial MRA show a high correlation with infarct distribution. MRA provided information adjunctive to conventional MRI in a majority of cases. We conclude that MRA is an important noninvasive component of the complete evaluation of ischemic stroke.

NSS (Navigation satellite system) provides the information for determining the position, velocity and time of users in real time using satellite-networking, and is classified into GNSS (Global NSS) and RNSS (Regional NSS). Although GNSS services for global users, the exactitude of provided information is dissatisfied with the degree required in modern systems such as unmanned system, autonomous navigation system for aircraft, ship and others, air-traffic control system. Especially, due to concern about the monopoly status of the countries operating it, some other countries have already considered establishing RNSS. The RNSS services for users within a specific area, however, it not only gives more precise information than those from GNSS, but also can be operated independently from the NSS of other countries. Thus, for Korean RNSS, this paper suggests the methodology to design the satellite constellation considering the regional features of Korean Peninsula. It intends to determine the orbits and the arrangement of navigation satellites for minimizing PDOP (Position dilution of precision). PGA (Parallel Genetic Algorithm) geared to solve this nonlinear optimization problem is proposed and STK (System tool kit) software is used for simulating their space flight. The PGA is composed of several GAs and iterates the process that they search the solution for a problem during the pre-specified generations, and then mutually exchange the superior solutions investigated by each GA. Numerical experiments were performed with increasing from four to seven satellites for Korean RNSS. When the RNSS was established by seven satellites, the time ratio that PDOP was measured to less than 5 (i.e. better than 'Good' level on the meaning of the PDOP value) was found to 94.3% and PDOP was always kept at 10 or less (i.e. better than 'Moderate' level).

This study was attempted co develope a method for detection of Theileria sergenti infection on the basis of hybridization of parasite DNA with a probe. For construction of a T sergenti genomic library, T sergenti DNA was digested completely with Bam-HI and the fragments were ligated into the Bam-HI site of pUC-19 before transformation of Escherichia colistrain JM83. To detect clones containing the parasite's DNA sequences, a genomic DNA library of T sergenti constructed in pUC-19 was screened by cracking and Southern hybridization. Seven colonies were chosen from 29 colonies which were screened by transformation of Escherichia coli strain JM83. Seven transformants were comfirmed from seven colonies by cracking. The sizes of transformants were about 5Kb, 5.7Kb, 4.3Kb, 7.75Kb, 7.85Kb, 5.8Kb, 3.8Kb, respectively. DNA inserts, T sergenti DNA, and bovine DNA were hybridized with radio-labelled T sergenti DNA. Two($pT_1$, $pT_1$) of the seven inserts and T sergenti DNA reacted strongly but another 5 inserts and bovine DNA showed weak reation. All of the DNA inserts were not reaction, but T sergenti DNA were very weakly and bovine DNA were strongly reacted to hybridization with radio-labelled bovine DNA. Therefore, we obtained total 7 T sergenti DNA fragments in this study.

The importance of engine vibration reduction is increasing as the vehicle interior noise becomes more serious due to higher output and lighten weight trends. Recently, the balance shaft attachment has been proposed as a representative method for the engine vibration reduction. The balance shaft is a device that cancels the vibrations generated in the reciprocating motion of the piston and the conrod by using an arbitrary eccentric mass, and can improve fuel efficiency and ride comfort at the same time. This paper proposes the unbalance amount and shape of the balance shaft to induce and offset the inertia force generated by the engine structure. The proposed two-shaped balance shaft was implemented as an ADAMS multi-body dynamics model, and the reduction of the inertial force in the actual behavior was confirmed through dynamic simulation.

Burning and lump sensation in the throat is a common disorder in middle aged woman. It is generally considered to be a neurotic origin but its pathophysiology is still remained unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the Pharyngoesophageal structural lesions and the esophageal motility disorders among the patients with globus pharyngeus and to elucidate whether any specific manometric abnormality might have any causative role in the pathogenesis of the globus sensation, and we also wanted to know whether such tests were necessary in evaluating those patients. Structural lesions were demonstrated in 21 cases(17.5 %) among 120 patients. But among 44 controls, there were also Two cases(4.5 %) of structural lesions, and there was less significantly difference in the prevalence of the structural lesions between the patients and controls(p=0.0625) Manometric abnormalities over the lower esophageal sphincter and the lower esophageal body were demonstrated in 28 cases (23.3 %) of the patients, while only one case (2.3 %) of the controls revealed such abnormality ( p=0.0037). Various manometric parameters of the upper esophageal sphincter and pharynx showed no difference between the patients and controls except the upper esophageal sphincter pressure at lateral sides which was lower in patients than in controls (p=0.0034). Globus sensation is a kind of symptom of esophageal dysmotility, and esophageal manometry is necessary to detect such abnormality in patients with globus sensation, Careful physical examination is also necessary to detect structural lesions in the pharynx and esophagus.

Jasmonates control diverse plant developmental processes, such as seed germination, flower, fruit and seed development, senescence and tuberization in potato. To understand the role of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in potato tuberization, the Arabidopsis JMT gene encoding jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase was constitutively overexpressed in transgenic potato plants. Increases in tuber yield and size as well as in vitro tuberization frequency were observed in transgenic plants. These were correlated with JMT mRNA level-- the higher expression level, the higher the tuber yield and size. The levels of jasmonic acid (JA), MeJA and tuberonic acid (TA) were also higher than those in control plants. Transgenic plants also exhibited higher expression of jasmonate-responsive genes such as those for allene oxide cyclase (AOC) and proteinase inhibitor II (PINII). These results indicate that JMT overexpression induces jasmonate biosynthesis genes and thus JA and TA pools in transgenic potatoes. This results in enhanced tuber yield and size in transgenic potato plants.

Permanent magnetic actuators (P.M.A.s) are widely used to drive medium-voltage-class vacuum circuit breakers (V.C.B.s). In this paper, a method for design optimization of a P.M.A. for V.C.B.s is discussed. An optimal design process employing the response surface method (R.S.M.) is proposed. In order to calculate electromagnetic and mechanical dynamic characteristics, an initial P.M.A. model is subjected to numerical analysis using finite element analysis (F.E.A.), which is validated by comparing the calculated dynamic characteristics of the initial P.M.A. model with no-load test results. Using tables of mixed orthogonal arrays and the R.S.M., the initial P.M.A. model is optimized to minimize the weight of the permanent magnet (P.M.) and to improve the dynamic characteristics. Finally, the dynamic characteristics of the optimally designed P.M.A. are compared to those of the initially designed P.M.A.
