In this article, a tomography for the estimation of the origin-destination(OD) traffic intensities in dynamic routing network is considered. Vardi(1996)'s approach based on fixed route is not directly applicable to dynamic routing protocols, which arises from the fact that we cannot access the route at every observation time. While it uses link-wise traffics as the observations, the proposed method considers the triple of ingress/outgress/relayed traffics data at each node so that we can transform the problem into a routing-independent tomography. An EM algorithm for implementation and some simulated experiments are provided.

Shaking table tests were performed with full scale models of stone parapet on the ancient rampart. The objectives of these tests are to study the seismic behavior of the parapet and to obtain quantitative estimation of the intensities of historical earthquakes. Two test models were made based on the structure of the parapet remnant of a mountain fortress in Bukhan-San located in Seoul. Two types of infilling material are considered. The responses to models were tested subjected to three kinds of input motion.

This article develops a control model for an open queueing network in terms of both the input and the output processes with stochastic intensities. The input and the output intensities are subject to some capacity limits and optimum control is characterized by a threshold type with a finite upper barrier. A discounted profit is used as a decision criteria, which is revenue minus operating and holding cost.

We repport the effects of active nitrogens on the low-tempperature growth of GaN by a remote pplasma-enhanced metal-organic chemical vappor depposition method. the emission intensities of active nitrogens increase with fr ppower and nitrogen flow rate, but decrease with total reactor ppressure. Low-tempperature growth of GaN are greatly affected by the concentrations of active nitrogens and its concentrations are closely related with the emission intensities.

The results of an ab initio (6-31G) molecular orbital calculation of the dipole moment derivatives and gas phase IR intensities of difluoromethane are reported. The results are compared with corresponding values obtained from a CNDO calculation. The directions of the dipole derivatives calculated by the two methods agree very well, whereas the intensities differ significantly. The results are also analyzed for the charge-charge flux-overlap electronic contributions to the dipole derivatives.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) temperature studies were performed to examine the microstructural changes that occur in annealing process of the thin films of 1,2-polybutadiene (1,2-PBu)/palladium chloride (PdCl2) complex. The disappearance of the infrared absorption intensities at 1640, 1418, 994 and 910 cm-1 signifies the consumption of 1,2-vinyl groups of 1,2-PBu. The progressive loss of unsaturation and production of methyl groups as a function of temperature were identified by the enhanced infrared absorption intensities at 1447 and 1375 cm-1. The loss of pendent carbon-carbon double bond is considered to involve both palladium-catalyzed addition reaction and thermally induced cyclization.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of exercise of diverse intensities on the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$(tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$) in the spinal cord in osteoarthritic rats. METHODS: Over a period of four weeks, the authors applied treadmill exercise programs of diverse intensities to Sprague-Dawley rats, to which intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate(MIA, $3mg/50{\mu}l$, diluted in saline) was applied to the right knee joint to induce osteoarthritis. The four-week exercise program was not carried out with the control group(CG, n=10). Exercise programs of applicable intensities were applied to the low-intensity exercise group(LEG, n=10), moderate-intensity exercise group (MEG, n=10), and high-intensity exercise group(HEG, n=10) over the four weeks. Observations were made of expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ in the spinal cord in osteoarthritic rats using western blot analysis. RESULT: there were significant differences(p<.05) in the comparison of expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ between the four groups involved. The expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ in the spinal cord, the LEG and HEG had more elevated expression significantly than the CG(p<.05). But the MEG had reduced expression significantly than the CG(p<.05). CONCLUSION: These study results suggest that moderate-intensity exercise is effective in inhibition TNF-${\alpha}$ in the spinal cord. They also indicate that in prescribing exercise to treat osteoarthritic patients, exercise of moderate intensity is most suitable to patients' chronic pain, rather than low or high intensity.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of exercise of diverse intensities on the recovery of articular cartilage in osteoarthritic rats. METHODS: Over a period of four weeks, the authors applied treadmill exercise programs of diverse intensities to Sprague-Dawley rats, to which intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate(MIA, 3mg/$50{\mu}l$, diluted in saline) was applied to the right knee joint to induce osteoarthritis. The four-week exercise program was not carried out with the control group(CG, n=10). Exercise programs of applicable intensities were applied to the low-intensity exercise group(LEG, n=10), moderate-intensity exercise group(MEG, n=10), and high-intensity exercise group(HEG, n=10) over the four weeks. Observations were made of morphological changes in the rats' articular cartilage, using hematoxylin and eosin stains. RESULTS: there were significant differences(p<.05) in the comparison of articular damage scores between the four groups involved. Articular cartilage damage scores were found to be significantly lower in the LEG, MEG, and HEG than in the CG, indicating that exercise helped with the recovery of cartilage. Of these latter three groups, the MEG showed the highest level of recovery, while the HEG showed the lowest. CONCLUSION: These study results suggest that exercise is effective in treating OA. They also indicate that in prescribing exercise to treat osteoarthritic patients, exercise of moderate intensity is most suitable to patients' physical conditions, rather than low or high intensity, maximizes, and so should be used to maximize the effects of therapy.

Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) beneath the forest canopy, understory species richness and diversity, and biomass were measured in a Larix leptolepis plantation seven years after thinning in Yangpyeong. Four different thinning intensities (control, $10\%,\;20\%\;and\;40\%$ stocking reduction) were applied in 1997. The current PAR values were lower than those measured four years after thinning, and PAR at the heavy thinning plots was significantly higher than that of other thinning intensities. A total of 23 species including 9 tall-trees and 14 shrubs were found for the high layer while a total of 82 species including 10 tall-trees, 29 shrubs, and 43 herbs for the low layer. Species richness and diversity generally increased with thinning intensities, and the trends were more evident for the low layer. Aboveground biomass significantly differed among thinning intensities for both shrubs and herbs. Also there was a negative correlation between biomass and the current number of stems per hectare. The current study suggested that the effects of thinning on light conditions at the forest floor, species richness and diversity and production of understory vegetation continued seven years after the treatment.

Background and Objectives: It has been suggested that tonsillectomy possibly causes changes of voice because the morphology of the vocal tract is altered. This may cause serious problems for professional voice users. Materials and Method: Subjects were 26 patients. The oral and nasal sound spectrum of oral vowel /a/, /e/ and /i/ were measured before and after tonsillectomy. The formant frequencies and intensities for oral and nasal spectra were compared. The nasality and fundamental frequencies for oral vowel were measured. Results: The first formant frequencies for oral spectra of all vowels were not changed after surgery, but the second formant frequencies were increased significantly after surgery in the vowel /e/ and /i/. The first and second formant intensities for oral spectra were increased significantly after surgery in the all vowels. The first and second formant frequencies for nasal spectra of all vowels were not changed after surgery, but their intensities for nasal spectra were increased after surgery. The nasalities for oral vowel were not changed after surgery. Conclusion : Tonsillectomy appeared to change the spectral features of oral and nasal components of oral vowel, especially spectral intensities.
