In 2008, ETRI developed a new mobile digital ID wallet, in which anyone can store personal information and PKI credential. When the wallet is used, privacy protection is one of the most important problems and personal information should be protected under various usage scenarios such as exchanging sensitive information in on/off-line environments, joining as a new member in the web site, etc. In this paper, we propose a triangular trust management scheme that can effectively manage trustness and also protect sensitive personal information. This scheme relies on three techniques: PKI, reputation and condition (situation context). We implemented prototype of our scheme, and tested it under various scenarios, which showed that the proposed scheme can effectively be used for diverse cases.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) continues to be one of the main causative agents of tuberculosis (TB); moreover, the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections has been rising gradually in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. Precise and rapid detection and identification of MTB and NTM in respiratory specimens are thus important for MTB infection control. Molecular diagnostic methods based on the nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) are known to be rapid, sensitive, and specific compared to the conventional acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear and mycobacterial culture methods. In the present study, the clinical performances of three commercial molecular diagnostic assays, namely TB/NTM PCR (Biocore), MolecuTech Real MTB-ID^® (YD Diagnostics), and REBA Myco-ID^® (YD Diagnostics), were evaluated with a total of 92 respiratory specimens (22 AFB smear positives and 67 AFB smear negatives). The sensitivity and specificity of TB/NTM PCR were 100% and 75.81%, respectively. The corresponding values of MolecuTech Real MTB-ID^® and REBA Myco-ID^® were 56.52% and 90.32%, and 56.52% and 82.26%, respectively. TB/NTM PCR showed the highest sensitivity; however, the concordant rate was 10% compared with sequence analysis. Although MolecuTech Real MTB-ID^® showed lower sensitivity, its specificity was the highest among the three methods. REBA Myco-ID^® allowed accurate classification of NTM species; therefore, it was the most specific diagnostic method. Of the three PCR-based methods, MolecuTech Real MTB-ID^® showed the best performance. This method is expected to enable rapid and accurate identification of MTB and NTM.

The antiinflammatory and antirheumatic activities of a 3% ketoprofen gel (ID-GEL) were evaluated using carrageenan-induced paw edema method and adjuvant-induced arthritis method, respectively, after its transdermal administration of 50 mg on rat paws in reference to existing transdermal preparations containing 3% ketoprofen and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The % inhibition of carrageenan-induced edema by ID-GEL was 56.2-65.0%, close to the maximum inhibition obtainable with this model, while the % inhibition by existing 3% ketoprofen gels and other NSAID transdermal preparations were 33.8-47.7% and 18.7-29.2%, respectively. ID-GEL had a pronounced antirheumatic activity in both preventive and curative studies with adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats in respect with the inhibition of edema, arthritis score and weight gain, in reference to existing 3% ketoprofen gel.

This research investigates computer generated hybrid second-order model of two numerically based approaches to risk classification : discriminant analysis and neural networks. The hybrid second-order models are derived by rule induction using the ID3 and tested in the several different kinds of data. This new hybrid approach is designed to combine the high prediction accuracy and robustness of DA or NN with perspicuity of ID3. The hybrid model also eliminates the problem of contradictory inputs of ID3. After doing empirical test for the validity of hybrid model using small and medium companies' bankrupt data, hybrid model shows high perspicuity, high prediction accuracy for bankrupt, and simplicity for rules. The hybrid model also shows high performance regardless the type of data such as numeric data, non-numeric data, and combined data.

In a single frequency network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interference due to the use of same frequency among multiple transmitters or repeaters is inevitable for receivers. This problem can be solved by adjusting transmit power and time of each transmitter and repeater. To adjust SFNs, the ATSC recommended practice (RP) introduces a transmitter identification (TxID) signal which is embedded in a signal from each transmitter or repeater. This paper proposes an efficient method to estimate the individual reception power from each transmitter or repeater based on the channel profile of SFN and the total reception power. Moreover, field test results are provided to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.

We investigated the application of functional materials by examining a variety of physiological activities of Abelmoschus esculentus extract. A. esculentus extract had a low cytotoxicity against murine melanoma B16F10 cells. At concentrations showing little or no cytotoxicity, A. esculentus extract showed high a DPPH radical scavenging activity ($ID_{50}$, $5.24{\mu}g/mL$), inhibited tyrosinase activity ($ID_{50}$, $102.12{\mu}g/mL$), and decreased melanin content ($ID_{50}$, $17.85{\mu}g/mL$). The treatment of B16F10 cells with A. esculentus extract suppressed the protein expression of tyrosinase in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that A. esculentus extract inhibits melanin synthesis in murine melanoma B16F10 cells by suppressing intracellular tyrosinase expression, as well as directly inhibits tyrosinase activity simultaneously. Additionally, A. esculentus extract promotes the expression of involucrin, which is related to skin barrier protection. These results indicate that A. esculentus extract is an appropriate material for improving skin barrier function.

A study was conducted to determine the ileal digestibility (ID) of amino acids and feeding values of spray dried plasma protein (SDPP) and spray dried porcine intestine hydrolysate (SDPI) in early-weaned pigs. Twelve pigs aged 18 days old (Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire${\times}$Duroc; $5.83{\pm}0.51kg$ BW) were cannulated in the terminal ileum for determination of ID of amino acids. Ninety pigs ($6.28{\pm}0.1kg$, 18 days old) were also employed for a feeding trial during phase I period. Treatments were: 1) 6% SDPP, 2) 6% SDPI, and 3) 3% SDPP+3% SDPI. The apparent and true ID values of the essential amino acids except leucine, methionine and valine were lower (p<0.01) in SDPI than in SDPP. The average apparent ID of essential amino acids in SDPP and SDPI were 75.63 and 71.30%, and the average true ID of essential amino acids 84.83 and 80.51%, respectively. The ADG and feed conversion ratio in piglets fed the 6% SDPP diet were better (p<0.01) than in those fed the 6% SDPI diet. When 3% of SDPP was replaced by SDPI, however, the growth rate and efficiency of pigs were comparable to those in pigs fed 6% SDPP. In conclusion, SDPP can be partially replaced by SDPI without any detrimental effect on growth performance in early-weaned pigs.

As the ID-based public key cryptosystems become a very active research area, a number of ID-based key agreement protocols have been proposed, but unfortunately many of them were analyzed that there were some security flaws in the protocols. In addition to key agreement protocols, in recent, Liu et al. and Kim et al. proposed the key agreement protocols that multiple session keys are established at once among participated entities. In this paper, we propose an ID-based tripartite key agreement protocol that establishes 8 keys by improving the efficiency of the Liu et al's. Moreover, the proposed protocol can be used in the situation where multiple different private key generators(PKG) are involved. Therefore, because the private key issued by different PKGs belonging to each entity's domain can be used, our proposed scheme is more efficiently applicable to the practical applications.

In the sensor network security area, previous works were mainly concentrated on achieving authentication, confidentiality, integrity and availability. But the ID exposure issue is recently an increasing concern in research community. To protect the ID exposure from various attacks, the most common approach is to make use of a dynamic pseudonym rather than the real ID. However, if a node's secret key (or hash key) and the current pseudonym (such as a random number) are exposed, the attacker can easily generate the previous/next pseudonyms. In this paper, we propose a security infra-structure scheme for enabling strong anonymity of sensor nodes. Our scheme ensures that the probability being able to generate a pseudonym is very low even if a sensor node has been compromised with an attacker. Security analyses have proven that our scheme is suitable for sensor network environments in terms of preserving of forward anonymity as well as backward anonymity.
