This paper is technical review about Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum(DSSS) to apply in launch vehicle system. First, we introduce communication protocol(carrier frequency, code length, process gain, data rate, chip rate etc) about several application system using DSSS. And then, we survey and summarize the effect of doppler shift to the DSSS. The doppler shift is important error factor for PN code tracking in the fast moving system like launch vehicle. So, spread spectrum code acquisition technique for a direct sequence system in the presence of doppler effect must be investigated.

Purpose: This study evaluates the level of cultural competence (CC) and educational needs for cultural competence in nursing (CCN) in undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A self-report instrument was used to measure CC and educational needs for CCN. Questionnaires were completed by 330 nursing students in three nursing colleges. Descriptive statistics, a t-test, an ANOVA, Pearson correlation analyses, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean CC score was 2.99 and the mean CCN educational needs score was 7.1. CC positively correlated with educational needs for CCN. The regression model explained 36% of the variance in CC. Factors affecting CC were school grades, multicultural education experience, frequency of meeting foreigners, length of encounters with foreigners, foreign-language fluency, and degree of interest in multicultural nursing. Conclusion: To strengthen the CC of students, nursing educators should develop an educational program for CCN and incorporate CCN into nursing school curricula.

This paper aims to extract characteristics of the spectrum of fingerprint image and to apply them to image enhancement techniques in spatial frequency domain. Based on 1$\times$64 window as a processing unit and the different record lengths(32, 16, 8), the estimate of power spectrum density for each length was made. Each acquired spectrum characteristics was applied to the re-synthesis process of the fingerprint image, an improved gray scale image was obtained. In order to select an optimal predictor and the Huffman table for the fingerprint iamge, the lossless JPEG algorithm was used. Experiments were performed for extracting distribution characteristics for the each of 7 predictors from the fingerprint image and modeling processes, and the result was applied to the data compression algorithm and the selection of the optimal predictor.

In this work, to obtain the detailed information about lightning electromagnetic field waveforms, the LabVIEW based-measurement system of time-changing magnetic fields was designed and constructed. The frequency bandwidth of the magnetic field measuring system ranges from 300 [Hz] to 1 [MHz], and the response sensitivity is 2.78 [mV/nT]. Data acquisition system with the resolution of 12 bits and memory capacity of 32 [Mbyte] was triggered by the magnetic field to be measured. The properties and parameters of the magnetic fields produced by cloud discharges were statistically investigated. The magnetic field waveforms radiated from cloud lighting discharges tend to be bipolar, with two or more narrow and several pulses superimposed on the initial front part. The recording length of the magnetic field measurement system is about 10 [ms]. The mean duration of cloud discharges is 1.3 [ms], and the number of outburst pulses for the period is 8 in average. The front times of the magnetic fields are 6.15 [$\mu$s] in average. The the zero-to-zero crossing times that is the initial half-cycle duration is widely dispersed and the mean value is 9.61 [$\mu$s], and the mean value of percentage depth of dip to opposite polarity is 41.1 [$\%$].

Morphological and anatomical characters of selected 3 taxa of Rhynchospora were reexamined. The epidermal patterns of achene and leaf were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope (LM). Morphological characters such as length and width of bract, spikelet, scale, achene, stem, leaf and leaf sheath, and shape of inflorescence, spikelet, scale, apex of scale, perigynium and achene, and number of stigma and anatomical characters (transectional shape of the stem, and leaf: vascular bundles in stem and leaf epidermal patterns: shape of fundamental epidermal cell and cell wall, type of silica body, subsidiary cell shape, size and frequency of stomatal complex of leaf) were useful for the identification. Keys based on data were presented here.

Estrangement hierarchical by bipolarization is deepened and time space that social welfare by graying corresponds great so. Specially, is real condition that indifference by patient's increase which is solitary life string is come to involve by social problem. Together, Jaetaek bone fracture patient's ratio is zooming. Domestic BT technology, medical treatment solution technology offer more important role than role assistance enemy of modern technology and utilize by creative technology can . Specially, if apply supersonic waves in bone fracture treatment, there is treatise data that can reduce bone fracture treatment period of bone that bone does not stick well about 40%. Supersonic waves operation frequency used on both end because do 1m Hz, 1.3mHz, supersonic waves origination that have 1.5mHz's Piezo-ceramic crystal tranducer material each 4 premature senilitys in this research, and outside diameter according to impedance and Phase d used Gakgak4mm, 5.4mm, Dukke0.5mm, transformer deuce of length 70mm. Manufactured, and investigated supersonic waves distribution chart by capacity 50m W. Supersonic waves used by diagnosis mainly but is seen to become convenient medical treatment mounting in bone fracture patient's treatment if supplement clinically. If supplement system furthermore, is going to apply to osteoporosis patient, and this research tried to design poetic theme width directly and study rain standardization special quality and approach basic form because do modelling.

Design and fabrication issues for an L-band GaAs Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit(MMIC) Voltage Controlled Oscillator(VCO) as a component of Personal Communications Systems(PCS) Radio Frequency(RF) transceiver are discussed. An ion-implanted GaAs MESFET tailored toward low current and low noise with 0.5mm gate length and 300mm gate width has been used as an active device, while an FET with the drain shorted to the source has been used as the voltage variable capacitor. The principal design was based on a self-biased FET with capacitive feedback. A tuning range of 140MHz and 58MHz has been obtained by 3V change for a 600mm and a 300mm devices, respectively. The oscillator output power was 6.5dBm wth 14mA DC current supply at 3.6V. The phase noise without any buffer or PLL was 93dB/1Hz at 100KHz offset. Harmonic balance analysis was used for the non-linear simulation after a linear simulation. All layout induced parasitics were incorporated into the simulation with EEFET2 non-linear FET model. The fabricated circuits were measured using a coplanar-type probe for bare chips and test jigs with ceramic packages.

Essential hypertension is a multifactorial disease, and has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance. The relationship between the genetic variation of the insulin receptor (INSR) gene and essential hypertension In Korean population was investigated by the Nsi 1 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern of this gene. The observed genotype frequencies of INSR gene were not deviated from those expected for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), but a significant association was observed between essential hypertension and N1 allele of Nsi 1 RFLP at the INSR gene ($X^2$-test; P<0.05). Moreover, the frequency of N1 allele was significantly different between normotensives and essential hypertensives in subgroups that were not obese ($X^2$-test; P<0.05). These data suggest that the Nsil RFLP of INSR gene may be a useful genetic marker for essential hypertension in Korean population.

Recently, there are a lot of multimedia products using image interpolation system. However, most interpolation systems in existence suffer visually to some extents from the effects of blurred edges and jagged artifacts in the image. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive linear interpolation system that uses the sub-pixel. The proposed system calculate the warped distance among the pixels of an image by optimizing length parameter. A new cost function is introduced to reflect frequency properties of the origin data in order to improve image quality. Experimental results show that our new algorithm significantly outperforms conventional interpolation methods in subjective quality, and in most cases, in terms of PSNR as well.
