An oil-filled paper-insulated power cable and a XLPE-insulated power cable have been mainly applied as an extra-high-voltage underground power cable. But in recent the XLPE cable has been applied more widely than the OF cable, because of its advantages, such as the low-cost and simple installation. In general two types, molded and prefabricated, of straight joints are applied for the XLPE cables. For a tape-molded joint, one of molded joints, its electrical properties are excellent, but it has some disadvantages, such as a long working time. high skill of workers and the high cost of jointing equipments. For a prefabricated joint, developed and applied in Europe and Japan, its working time is short, its jointing procedures are simple, and its quality control is easy, but its prices are very high. In Korea the development of a compression-type PJ will be finished in the near future, and studies of its jointing techniques and equipments is actively going on. This paper describes the design and construction of the PJ, the jointing procedures and techniques for the PJ, and its future trends.

A very reliable and specific method for the identification of fungi in ectotrophic mycorrhizal symbiosis was developed using a specific PCR assay based on the amplification of the ITS1 region. To obtain specific data, an ITS-diagnostic assay was carried out that reveals genera and species specific sequences. Here, an application of one method is presented, which covers the identification of pure mycelia, basidiocarps as well as mixed samples such as ectomycorrhizal roots that were mingled with remains of the host plant. For this purpose a protocol was established that allowed the extraction of DNA from single mycorrhizal roots. In order to perform a specific ITS analysis we generated a new ITS-primer(ITS8) by a multiple alignment of five different genera and species of mycorrhizal fungi. The utilization of ITS1 and ITS8 resulted in specific PCR amplicons, which were characterized by sequencing without purification steps, even when the template DNA was associated with roots.

There are many problems of interoperability between ITS system equipments since the protocol standard for a network center and a node has not defined. In this paper, we consider the use of the SNMP to solve the interoperability problem, and apply the SNMP in the case of a CCTV as an example. Also, we defined its corresponding MIBs and accomplished the interoperability test, where the method of controlling the CCTV is explained and the data transmitted on the network are shown in a hexadecimal format. Our results are expected to be helpful for a guideline or feasibility test as nationwide data to support the interoperability of ITS systems between a network center and nodes.

C-ITS is a system that uses bidirectional communication between two vehicles or infrastructures to control traffic more conveniently, and safely. If C-ITS security is not properly prepared, it can cause traffic congestions and fatal traffic accidents, and therefore can affect greatly on the driver's life. This paper proposes the prevention and response mechanisms based on the cyber attack scenarios that can be used to attack C-ITS.

Morphological and molecular data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS regions were examined to reevaluate the taxonomic position of the Korean endemic species, Stewartia koreana Nakai ex Rehder (Theaceae). Comparing to its morphologically closely related S. pseudocamellia Maxim, S. koreana has diagnostic characters including a larger leaf blade (10 cm length and 5.5 cm wide) and a longer pedicel (2.5 cm length). In addition, S. koreana formed a different clade from S. pseudocamellia in the ITS trees. The morphological and ITS sequence data supported S. koreana as a Korean endemic species distinct from the closely related species, S. pseudocamellia.

The most effective tutoring method is one-on-one, face-to-face in-person human tutoring. However, due to the limited availability of human tutors, computer-based alternatives have been developed. These software based alternatives are called Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) which are used to tutor students in different domains. Although ITS performance is inferior to that of human teachers, the field is growing and has recently become very popular. User interfaces play key role in usability perspective of ITS. Even though ITS research has advanced, the majority of the work has concentrated on learning sciences while mostly disregarding user interfaces. Because of this, the present ITS includes effective learning modules but a less effective interface design. Usability is one approach to gauge a software's performance, while "ease of use" is one way to assess a software's quality. This paper measures the usability effectiveness of an ITS which is designed to teach Object-Oriented (OO) analysis and design concepts using Unified Modeling Language (UML). Computer Supported Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) survey was conducted for usability evaluation of UML-ITS. According to participants' responses to the system's usability survey, all responses lie between 1 to 3 scale points which indicate that the participants were satisfied and comfortable with most of the system's interface features.

Cylindrocarpon destructans is the major pathogen inducing the root rot disease in ginseng. Up to now, there is no reliable and convenient method to analyze the spore density or population of this pathogen in ginseng-growing soil or any contaminated farmlands. Therefore, it will be very valuable to develop a new and reliable method in detecting the spore of this pathogen. In this study, a molecular biological technique using two step nested PCR method, was developed. Two universal ITS primers, ITS5F and ITS4R were used in the first round of PCR to amplify a fragment of ITS region from the genomic DNA of C. destructans. The specific prmers Nest 1 and Nest 2 were designed and used in the second round of PCR to amplify a inner fragment from the first round PCR product of C. destructans. C. destructans spore, only soil samples from the diseased ginseng farm produced the positive bands, suggesting its usefulness in detecting the C. destructans spores in soil samples. Thus it is recommended to first extract the whole genomic DNA from soil samples and use it for the PCR reaction, thereby eliminating the inhibitory activity of soil components.

The Sightseeing ITS is defined as a system that gives tourists and inhabitants the information concerned with road network conditions, parking, sightseeing spots, and travel time in the relevant area. When focusing on tourists' excursion behaviors in sightseeing areas, however, it is sometimes found that they feel much annoyed with insufficient information about the area. While they also have a variety of needs to get information and make a decision about their excursions, it becomes one of important subjects to understand the actual circumstances of their information usage and to identify the causal relationship between their excursion patterns and the obtained information. This paper aims to investigate basic issues toward development of Sightseeing ITS and to modify an analytical model of tourist's excursion behavior considering information usage at Fuji five lakes Area, which is a representative sightseeing place in Japan. The relationship was analyzed using a structural equation model: information usage at the scheduling stage has an impact on tourists' individual cognition of the sightseeing area, tourists' individual cognition affects information usage at the excursion stage, and information usage at the excursion stage affects behavior during excursions. It is found that tourists' decision making behaviors on their excursion tend to depend on the information usage. This implies essential results to construct effective and customer oriented ITS.

ITS technologies are in the research and development around the world as a solution for maximizing the efficiency of the existing road infrastructure, solving the complex traffic problems and providing the convenient driving services. The core of these ITS technologies is to provide the information for the requesting users in fast and accurate way from the server. In real driving conditions, there are many communication barriers around the vehicles and the base stations so that an accurate and robust handover technology is needed in order to ensure seamless ITS services. This paper introduced an WAVE handover algorithm implemented in a real communication device and five parameters mainly affecting the handover performance are evaluated. The handover performance is measured by changing the parameter values at a highway testbed. The test results show that the handover algorithm parameter values should be configured carefully to remove the handover ping-pong problems.

Currently, ITs(Information Technologies} performances have been recognized as an essential tool for terminal operations. However, there have been little research that analyze level of ITs performance on port operation. Thus, the aim of this research is to analyze current level of ITs performance of major container terminals in Busan and Gwangyang. To achieve this objective, we developed HFP-based index that improve pervious indicator for evaluation of ITs performance. And then, level of ITs performance of four major container terminals were measured by the collected data through face to face interviews. Finally, through this analysis, some findings including weaknesses of ITs performance and implications were discussed.
