This paper describes a design of hash processor which can execute new hash algorithm, SHA-3 and extendable-output function (XOF), SHAKE-256. The processor that consists of padder block, round-core block and output block maximizes its performance by using the block-level pipelining scheme. The padder block formats the variable-length input data into multiple blocks and then round block generates SHA-3 message digest or SHAKE256 result for multiple blocks using on-the-fly round constant generator. The output block finally transfers the result to host processor. The hash processor that is implemented with Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA can operate up to 220-MHz clock frequency. The estimated maximum throughput is 5.28 Gbps(giga bits per second) for SHA3-512. Because the processor supports both SHA-3 hash algorithm and SHAKE256 algorithm, it can be applicable to cryptographic areas such as data integrity, key generation and random number generation.

The error networks due to the measuring systems and the test fixture must be previously calibrated in order to characterize the microwave devices. In this paper, it is presented a new method to characterize the error networks in which only two different microstrip lines are used for the calibration. Once each length of two calibrat- ing microstrip lines is accurately defined, the calibrated data can be easily obtained without acknowledgement for the propagation constant. The end effect is not considered when fabricated the microstrip lines used to calibration. The ATF13736 GaAs MESFET is characterized by means of the calibrating procedure with this method. The range of measuring frequency is 2 to 18 GHz, and the bias voltage and current are $V_{DS}$ =2.5V, $I_{DS}$ =20mA, respectively. Compared the calibrated data with data sheet, it is showed that the magnitude is nearly agreed with each other and the phase is deviated by 0.1 to 12 degrees in lower frequencies.

Total 986 school nurses who have been working primary, secondary schools in Seoul were given the questionnaire, and 672 school nurses' respectively, were finally analyzed. Analysis of the data was done utilizing SPSS/PC+for percentage, frequency, mean, $X^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, regression. The major findings of this study were as follows : 1. Thc performance rate of regular health instruction by school nurses was 77.7% of 552 respondents. 2. The school nurses in primary school(87.0%) were more likely to perform regular health instruction than the school nurses in secondary school (63.8%). 3. The teachers of regular health instruction were more likely to display favorable attitudes toward need of health instruction. The school level was not statistically significant(P>0.05). 4. The evidence from the data analysis supported the proposition that the teachers of regular health instruction had more positive attitude toward the establishment of health subject(80.3%). The school level was statistically significant(P<0.05). 5. The school principal was a highly significant factor as it affected the performance rate of regular health instruction by school nurses. The school level was statistically significant(P<0.001). 6. The length of past career, the degree of self confidence on health instruction, the need of health instruction did affect the performance rate of regular health instruction by school nurses. On the basis of the above mentioned, so as for regular health instruction of school to be activated more throughly, regular class must be introduced in the form of establishment of health subject, enhancement of quality on the part of school nurses, made and various methods for enhancing perception toward the regular health instruction on the part of school principal are to be carried out.

This study were conducted to assess the physical growth and developmental status of infants in orphanage in order to provide an empirical data. The subjects for this study were 104 infants and toddlers who were reared in an orphanage in D Metropolitan city. The instrument used for this study were anthropometric assessment and DDST for normative data of development. Data has been collected from September 1st, 1998 to August 31st, 2000 and were analyzed using SPSS/PC(Version 10.0) with frequency, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA and Chi-square test. The results of this study were as follows; 1. 30.8% of infants in orphanage had abnormal weight, 26.9% had abnormal length, and 22.1% had abnormal head circumference and most of them were distributed below 50 percentile of growth chart. 2. 53.8% of infants in orphanage had normal, 27.9% had qustionable, and 18.3% had abnormal developmental screening test results, especially, 31.5% of infants in orphanage ages 3 to 5 years had abnormal developmental screening test results, according to the Denver Developmental Screening Test(DDST). There was a significant developmental delay noted in the language and fine motor-adaptive sector. 3. It is anticipated that developmental delays would increase in severity by older the mean age of orphanage infants and longer the time being raised in orphanage. It would be concluded that the physical growth and developmental status of orphaned infants were very vulnerable and serious and it is suggested that there needed an effective intervention strategies to promote growth and development of infants in orphanage.

In many Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications, the reader recognizes the tags within its scope repeatedly. For these applications, some algorithms such as the adaptive query splitting algorithm (AQS) and the novel semi-blocking AQS (SBA) were proposed. In these algorithms, a staying tag retransmits its ID to the reader to be identified, even though the ID of the tag is stored in the reader's memory. When the length of tag ID is long, the reader consumes a long time to identify the staying tags. To overcome this deficiency, we propose a slot allocated blocking anti-collision algorithm (SABA). In SABA, the reader assigns a unique slot to each tag in its range by using a slot allocation mechanism. Based on the allocated slot, each staying tag only replies a short data to the reader in the identification process. As a result, the amount of data transmitted by the staying tags is reduced greatly and the identification rate of the reader is improved effectively. The identification rate and the data amount transmitted by tags of SABA are analyzed theoretically and verified by various simulations. The simulation and analysis results show that the performance of SABA is superior to the existing algorithms significantly.

Objective:This study was performed to investigate the prescribing patterns of antimanic agents in the treatment of acute bipolar disorder inpatients in Korea from 1990 through 2000. The results will serve as the basic data for the practice guideline for the pharmacotherapy of bipolar disorder patients in Korea. Method:Retrospective chart review of bipolar disorder inpatients of Soonchunhyang Medical Center in Seoul and Chun-An was conducted for each of the year 1990, 1995, and 2000. The following data are collected ; 1) demographic data, 2) history of bipolar disorder, 3) length of hospital stay, 4) detailed drug titration records of antimanic agents and antipsychotic agents. Results:During the last decade, the frequency of lithium monotherapy was decreased obviously. Instead, more than half of the patients in 2000 were on combination therapy of lithium and anticonvulsants. Lithiumvalproate combination was the preferred strategy and the use rate of carbamazepine has been decreased. In addition, most of the patients were given antipsychotic agents during the last 10 years. And recently, atypical antipsychotics were increasingly prescribed. These changes in the field of pharmacology of bipolar disorder have resulted neither in shorter hospital stays nor lower dosages of concurrent neuroleptics. Conclusions:The results indicate the trends in the prescribing of antimanic agents for the treatment of bipolar disorder in Korea across the past 10 years. Mostly, the change seems to correspond to the international practice guideline. More systematic research is needed to find out the clinical benefits of the anticonvulsants in the real practice of treatment of bipolar disorder.

In this paper, we proposed and implemented a dedicated hardware for Huffman coding which is a method of entropy coding to use compressing multimedia data with video coding. The proposed Huffman codec consists Huffman encoder and decoder. The Huffman encoder converts symbols to Huffman codes using look-up table. The Huffman code which has a variable length is packetized to a data format with 32 bits in data packeting block and then sequentially output in unit of a frame. The Huffman decoder converts serial bitstream to original symbols without buffering using FSM(finite state machine) which has a tree structure. The proposed hardware has a flexible operational property to program encoding and decoding hardware, so it can operate various Huffman coding. The implemented hardware was implemented in Cyclone III FPGA of Altera Inc., and it uses 3725 LUTs in the operational frequency of 365MHz

This study investigates dorsal aspect target strength with fish size, tilt angle and frequency characteristics for the schlegel's black rockfish(Sebastes achlegeli) and the red seabream (Pagrus major). This study was carried out on free swimming fish in a cage in order to obtain acoustic data of the biomass estimation using the scientific echo sounder. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows; 1 The coefficients of the schlegel's black rockfish and the red seabream using maximum TS with fish length were expressed -63.7dB and -62.6dB at a frequency of 38kHz, -64.4dB and -65.4dB at 120kHz, and -62.4dB and -65.0dB at 200kHz, respectively. 2. The coefficients of the schlegel\`s black rockfish and the red seabream using averaged TS with fish length were expressed -68.4dB and -67.9dB at a frequency of 38kHz, -73.4dB and -72.7dB at 120kHz, and -70.BdE and -73.4dB at 2001Hs, respectively. 3. The coefficients of the schlegel's black rockfish and the red seabream using maximum TS with body weight were expressed -52.0dB and -50.9dB at a frequency of 38kHz, -52.7dB and -53.7dB at 120kHz, and -50.7dB and -53.3dB at 200kHz, respectively. 4. The coefficients of the schlegel's black rockfish and the red seabream using averaged TS with body weight were expressed -56.7dB and -56.2dB at a frequency of 38kHz, -61.7dB and -61.0dB at 120kHz, and -59.ldE and -61.6dB at 200kHz, respectively. 5. Varying the tiIt angle of the two red seabream from -26$^{\circ}$to +25$^{\circ}$, the variation width of target strength expressed smaller at a frequency of 38kHz than at 120kHz and expressed about 3~6dB higher head up than head down at 120kHz.
