The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing a Liquid Manure Circulation System (LMCS) on the environmental improvement of swine farms. Bacterial counts at different circulation phases of the LMCS were measured. Air in the swine facility and the liquid manure in each step of LMCS were sampled and gaseous composition detected in swine farms both with and without LMCS to compare the environmental conditions in either case. There were no differences in the total bacteria count at any circulation phase in the LMCS. Escherichia coli were detected at a very low abundance only at the outlet of the slurry pit ($1.5{\times}10^2CFU/m{\ell}$). Salmonella were not detected at any phase. The LMCS clearly affected the odor strength of the swine farm and improved the air quality in the swine facility. On-site odor strength - inside, at the exhaust, and at the border of the swine facility - were clearly lowered in farms applying LMCS. Furthermore, the levels of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide were improved in swine facilities applying LMCS.

무선에 의한 서비스는 유선에서 제공할 수 없는 단말기의 이동성이라는 커다란 장점을 지니기 있기 때문에, 댁내에서의 광화이버 배선으로 여러 가지 문제점을 발생시키고 경우에 따라서는 해결이 불가능한 경우도 무선에 의한 광대역 서비스의 제공이 가능하다. 최근까지는 2.5GHz 대역에서 아날로그 AM방식인 MMDS(Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service)로 무선 CATV같은 서비스가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 MMDS 방식의 경우 주파수 배정 문제로 인하여 발전이 한정적으로 이루어져 왔고, 양방향 디지털 및 다채널기술의 적용을 위한 주파수 대역의 확보가 어렵기 때문에 미래의 기술로 적용하기에는 다소 무리가 있는 것으로 분석되고 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 해결책으로 새로운 주파수 자원의 개발과 디지털 다채널 기술을 적용한 초고속 광대역 무선 전송기술의 개발이라는 측면에서 새로이 개발된 것이 최근 연구의 중심을 이루고 있는 LMCS(Local Multi-point Communication System)방식이다. LMCS 시스템은 25GHz∼29GHz 정도의 주파수를 사용하며 디지털화하여 양방향 CATV로 전환함으로써 양방향 멀티미디어 서비스가 가능하고, 향후 정보고속도로와도 연계할 수 있다는 점에서 최근 관심이 집중되고 있으며 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 추세에 따라 국내에서도 LMCS방식의 무선 CATV 서버용 주파수가 배정될 예정이다. LMCS기술은 유선망보다 저렴한 설치비용, 신속한 망구축 등의 장점을 바탕으로 양방향 초미터파 대역으로 고유한 전파전파 특성을 가지고 있으며, 주파수 배정에 있어서도 광대역으로 예상되기 때문에 LMDS에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

LMTT(Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology) is horizontal transfer system in the maritime container terminal for the port automation. The system is modeled PMLSM(Permanent Magnetic Linear Synchronous Motor) that is consists of stator modules on the rail and shuttle car(mover). Because of large variant of movers weight by loading and unloading containers, the difference of each characteristic of stator modules, and a stator module's default etc., LMCS(Linear Motor Conveyance System) is considered as that the system is changed its model suddenly and variously. In this paper, we will introduce the soft-computing method of a multi-step prediction control for LMCS using DR-FNN(Dynamically Constructed Recurrent Fuzzy Neural Network). The proposed control system is used two networks for multi-step prediction. Consequently, the system has an ability to adapt for external disturbance, cogging force, force ripple, and sudden changes of itself.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in both developed and developing countries. The burden is increasing in low-income and middle-income countries (LMCs) and threatens the public health of such societies. Introduction of expensive monoclonal antibodies to cancer treatment regimens poses a real challenge in the health systems of LMCs. Despite controversy of cost-effectiveness of bevacizumab in breast cancer, some studies indicate gain of patients from this drug. The present study aimed to propose a priority setting model for administration of anti-angiogenic agents in breast cancer via assessment of tumor angiogenesis by the microvessel density (MVD) method and associations with clinicopathological characteristics (including simultaneous mutations of TP53 and HER-2 genes). Materials and Methods: Age, axillary lymph nodes status, tumor size, stage and grade, estrogen and progesterone receptors status, HER-2/neu status (by immunohistochemistry and FISH test), TP53 mutation, Ki-67 (for proliferation assay) and CD34 (for angiogenesis assay) were assessed in 111 breast cancer patients. The molecular subtype of each tumor was also determined and correlations of simultaneous mutations of HER-2 and p53 genes with angiogenesis and other clinicopathological characteristics were evaluated. Results: There were significant associations between simultaneous mutations of HER-2 and p53 genes and all other parameters except tumor size. The degree of angiogenesis in the ERBB2 subtype was greater than the others. Younger patients showed a higher angiogenesis rate rather those older than 50 years. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that patients with simultaneous mutations of HER-2 and p53 genes, those with ERBB2 molecular subtype and also younger women (often triple negative) seem more eligible for obtaining anti-angiogenic agents. These results suggest a model for priority setting of patients with breast cancer for treatment with anti-angiogenic drugs in LMCs.

In this paper, we propose a method for generating luma signal mapping function to improve the coding efficiency of luma signal mapping methods in LMCS. In this paper, we propose a method to reflect the cognitive and perceptual features by multiplying the attention map of convolutional neural networks on local spatial variance used to reflect local features in the existing LMCS. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, BD-rate is compared with VTM-12.0 using classes A1, A2, B, C and D of MPEG standard test sequences under AI (All Intra) conditions. As a result of experiments, the proposed method in this paper shows improvement in performance the average of -0.07% for luma components in terms of BD-rate performance compared to VTM-12.0 and encoding/decoding time is almost the same.

This paper introduces some of the developments related to the handling equipment in container terminals and various new conceptual handling systems that have been proposed during the last several decades. The basic ideas behind the previous equipment improvements are analyzed to identify future directions that can be used for devising new handling systems. The handling systems in the container terminals include a quayside handling system, transport system, and yard system. In response to the deployment of mega-sized vessels for container transportation systems, productivity improvement has become one of the most urgent issues in the container terminals. This paper analyzes the previous improvements made for achieving higher productivity in the three subsystems of container handling. Some conceptual handling systems are introduced including the linear motor conveyance system (LMCS), automated storage and retrieval systems (AR/RS), overhead grid rail (GRAIL), SPEEDPORT, SuperDock, the automated container system by ZPMC (ACS-ZPMC), and AUTOCON.

This paper introduces a fixed radio-relay link design simulator with which we can select the station site and the frequency and can predict the performance of the radio-relay links. The simulator analyzes the path profile, the fading effects, the availability, the rain attenuation and the interference of the cosidered radio path using the digital terrain data and the rain intensity data. The calculation algorithms used in this simulator are mostly from the recommendations of the ITU-R. All the modules of the simulator are performed in full GUI mode and the input and output parameters are displayed interactively. This simulator could be used to the fixed radio-relay link design and the LMDS design.
