Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) have been emphasized due to their threats in human health. Waste incinerator emission has been emphasized as a source of EDC including polychlorinateddibenzofurans(PCDD/F) and other carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) has been used as an exposure biomarker for the PAHs. On the other hand, etheno-DNA adducts, e.g. 1, $N^6-ethenodeoxyadenosine({\varepsilon}dA)$, has been developed as an useful effective or response biomarker for carcinogenesis. Thus, I investigated association between urinary 1-OHP and ${\varepsilon}dA$ levels due to distance from an incinerator which was built more 10 years ago in the middle of a farm in P city. I designated the EDC-high and low exposed group due to distance from the incinerator, i.e. within 2.5km and $5.0{\sim}7.5km$ from the incinerator, respectively. The study subjects were age and sex-matched males and females (mean age, $61.3{\pm}9.6$ yrs; total 40 persons, male, 10; female, 10 for the each group). Urinary 1-OHP and ${\varepsilon}dA$ were analyzed with HPLC-FD and IP-HPLC-FD, respectively. As results, the distance from the incinerator was not associated with urinary 1-OHP nor ${\varepsilon}dA$ levels (p=0.43 and 0.82, respectively). On the other hand, urinary ${\varepsilon}dA$ levels were significantly higher in the hyperlipidemia group (N=10) than normal group (N=30). In conclusion, urinary 1-OHP nor ${\varepsilon}dA$ levels can not be suggested as an incinerator-related exposure nor effective biomarker. However, not only distance from the incinerator bot also systemic approaches including wind and soil contamination are required to assume exposure levels of incinerator-related EDC.

본 논문에서는 EC-DH를 이용한 안전한 키 분배와 처리속도가 개선된 64byte 블록 암호화 알고리즘인 ABC(Advanced Block Cipher) 알고리즘을 설계하였다. ABC 알고리즘은 별도의 S-Box, IP-Box 등을 사용하지 않고 데이터 교환키를 이용해 원본 데이터의 위치를 교환하는 방식을 사용함으로써 기본적인 메모리 점유율을 줄였다. 또한, 고정된 암 복호화 키가 아닌 유동적인 암 복호화 키를 사용해 대칭키의 유출에 대비하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 ABC 알고리즘은 모바일 뱅킹 및 낮은 메모리 환경에 적합한 암호화 알고리즘이라 할 수 있다.

The effect of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) on the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level was studied in NIH3T3 fibroblast cells. A reduction of the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level was observed after exposure to 300 ${\mu}m$ MNNG. However, the intracellular level of $IP_3$, a well-known regulator of $Ca^{2+}$ release from internal storage, was not changed by MNNG treatment. Instead, a reduction of the intracellular NAD level was observed. NAD as well as $IP_3$ stimulated intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release from permeabilized cells. The treatment of 3-aminobenzamide, which inhibited the MNNG-induced reduction of the NAD level, also prevented the MNNG-induced decrease of the $Ca^{2+}$ level. Our data suggest that MNNG reduces the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level by NAD depletion in NIH3T3 cells.

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of the newly marketed, Insight dental X-ray film. Materials and Methods: Kodak Ultraspeed (DF-58), E-speed, Agfa Dentus M2, and Kodak Insight (IP-21) films were radiographed using a Trophy intra-oral radiographic machine. 10 step exposure times were prepared and each step exposure was monitored using a FH 40G (ESM Eberline Instruments) dosimeter for each of the 4 types of intra-oral film. All films were manually processed and the radiographic densities at 6 sites of each processed film were measured, and the characteristic curves of each of the 4 types intra-oral films were created utilizing these dosimetric data and radiographic densities, based on ISO 5779. The film contrast, speed, and base plus fog density of Insight film were compared with those of the 3 other films examined in this experiment. Results : E-speed film showed greatest average gradients followed by Insight film. E-speed and Ultraspeed film showed great average gradients at low density levels. Insight film showed the fastest speed followed by E-speed, Dentus M2 and Ultraspeed film. Dentus M2 film showed greatest base plus fog density level followed by Insight film. Conclusion : Kodak Insight film showed fastest film speed with comparable film contrast on characteristic curve.

Compared to operational wastes, nuclear power plant (NPP) decommissioning wastes are generated in larger quantities within a short time and include diverse types with a wider range of radiation characteristics. Currently used 200 L drums and IP-2 type transport containers are inefficient and restrictive in packaging and transporting decommissioning wastes. Therefore, new packaging and transport containers with greater size, loading weight, and shielding performance have been developed. When transporting radioactive materials, radiological safety should be assessed by reflecting parameters such as the type and quantity of the package, transport route, and transport environment. Thus far, safety evaluations of radioactive waste transport have mainly targeted operational wastes, that have less radioactivity and a smaller amount per transport than decommissioning wastes. Therefore, in this study, the possible radiation effects during the transport from NPP to disposal facilities were evaluated to reflect the characteristics of the newly developed containers and decommissioning wastes. According to the evaluation results, the exposure dose to transport workers, handling workers, and the public was lower than the domestic regulatory limit. In addition, all exposure dose results were confirmed, through sensitivity analysis, to satisfy the evaluation criteria even under circumstances when radioactive materials were released 100% from the container.

In mobile communication, there are various types of handoff for the support of all forms of mobility. Proxy mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) enables local network-based mobility management of a mobile node without any effect of mobility-related signaling. Recently, PMIPv6 has been considered for supporting mobility management in LTE/SAE-based mobile networks. To support seamless mobility in heterogeneous mobile networks, the overall cost of handoffs needs to be minimized and the procedure should be guaranteed to be secure. However, the reduction of the authentication cost has not been fully investigated to provide seamless connectivity when mobile users perform a handoff between the PMIPv6 domains. This paper proposes secure pre-authentication schemes, completing an authentication procedure before performing a handoff, for a fast handoff in PMIPv6. Analytic models have been used for measuring the authentication latency and for the overhead cost analysis. In addition to providing fast authentication, the proposed pre-authentication schemes can prevent threats such as replay attacks and key exposure.

We investigated the interaction of auxin and Ca2+ on coleoptile segment elongation in seedlings of Zea mays L. Seedlings imbibed and raised either in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2 (HC), or in the absence of Ca2+ (LC) were used. Exposure to 10-5M auxin of coleoptiles from either HC or LC seedlings resulted in strong promotion of elongation. However, longer latent period (90 min) of the auxin effect was observed in HC than in LC seedlings (20 min). The length of latent period observed in HC coleoptiles was proportional to the concentration of CaCl2. The latent period of auxin effect observed in HC seedlings was abolished by pretreatment of the coleoptiles with TMB-8 which inhibits IP3-induced Ca2+ release from the tonoplasts. In segments of LC seedlings, the promotive effect of IAA (10-5M) was abolished by treatment with 5 mM calcium but was reversible upon treatment of the segments with 5 mM EGTA. These results suggest that the effect of auxin on coleoptile elongation is closely related to intracellular Ca2+ level.

방사선 검사로 환자의 병을 진단하기 위해서는 방사선 피폭이 따르게 된다. 최소한의 피폭으로 병변을 진단하는 일반촬영에 이중 엑스선 에너지 기법의 임상적용 가능성을 SNR 및 화질 점수화의 지표로 조사하였다. 이중 엑스선 에너지 기법은 검출기로 사용되는 두 개의 Image Plate 사이에 0.5 mm 두께의 Cu와 Al 필터를 추가함으로써 구현하였다. 한 번의 엑스선 조사로 획득된 두 IP 영상을 Subtraction 및 Enhance Contrast 기법을 적용하여 획득하였다. Enhance 영상은 첫 번째 IP에서 획득한 First 영상보다 SNR이 우수한 것으로 측정되었다. 이 일반촬영의 이중 엑스선 에너지 기법은 피폭선량을 줄이면서 영상의 품질을 높일 수 있는 방법으로 임상에서 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

속 이동 통신 서비스에서의 핸드오버, 특히 Mobile WiMAX는 120km/h의 속도에서도 이동성을 효과적으로 지원한다. 하지만 한 셀 안에서 증가하는 사용자의 수를 수용하기 위해 무선 네트워크의 각 셀의 크기를 줄임으로써 대역폭을 할당하는 방법으로 마이크로셀, 피코셀이 점점 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 결과로 핸드오버가 발생하게 되고, 그에 따라 연결 실패 비율이 증가하였다. IEEE 802.16 표준안에서는 핸드오버 최적화 기법을 통해 Seamless 한 연결성을 제공하지만 인증절차를 생략함으로써 네트워크 취약성이 노출되었다. 본 논문은 VoIP, 화상통신, Streaming Data Service 같은 실시간서비스를 지원하면서 보안성이 우수한 부분암호화 방식의 핸드오버를 제안한다. 평가결과, 제안 기법은 기존 방법에 비해 처리시간이 20%이상 향상됨을 입증하였다.

인터넷 통신의 발전과 함께 다양한 온라인 서비스의 이용이 크게 확대되었고, 이에 따라 사용자를 확인하기 위한 인증 기술의 중요성이 증가되고 있다. 사용자 인증기술로 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 방식은 사전에 약속된 비밀번호를 활용하는 기법이다. 그러나 기존의 비밀번호 인증 방식은 인증 마다 매번 동일한 비밀번호가 사용되기 때문에 공격자에 의하여 비밀번호가 노출되면 악의적으로 이용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 접속한 날짜, 시간 및 IP 주소와 같은 정보를 이용하여 접속 시 마다 새로운 비밀번호를 생성하는 변동형 비밀번호 생성 방법 및 이를 이용한 인터넷 인증 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방식은 비밀번호 노출에 따른 개인정보의 유출을 미연에 방지하여 인터넷 인증분야 및 보안시스템 분야에서 신뢰성 및 경쟁력을 향상시킬 수 있고, 전자문서의 확인이나 다양한 분야의 보안 시스템에도 적용할 수 있어, 사용상의 범용성을 향상 시킬 수 있다.
