In recent years, the software vulnerability becomes an important problem to the safety in operating system kernel. Many organizations endeavor to publish patches soon after discovery of vulnerability. In spite of the effort, end-system administrators hesitate to apply the patches to their system. The reasons of hesitation are the reboot disruption and the distrust of patches. To solve this problem we propose a dynamic update system for non-updatable kernel, named DUNK. The DUNK provides: 1) a dynamic update mechanism at function-level granularity to overcome the reboot disruption and 2) a safety verification mechanism to overcome the distrust problem, named MAFIA. In this paper, we describe the design of DUNK and detailed algorithm of MAFIA.

Now, the possibility of Unification South and North Korea is much higher than any other times and the various fields of society, including politics, have been tried to overcome the differences between two nations. Most of all, overcoming the industrial differences for economic co-operation is one of the most important issues. About 50％ of Export goods has been put in the claim in South Korea because of quality problems. And one of the important reasons is because of industrial standards. These kind of problems would be occur with economic co-operation. so the study about the standards of North Korean industries is much important before the trades is boomed. And this research would decrease the expense of unification of South and North before the difference would be larger than now. That's why the conference for industrial standards between South and North Korea should be held soon in order to overcome the differences of industrial standards. This paper not only suggested the difficulties and needs of the industrial standard unification, but also researched North Korean industrial standardization and quality inspection systems with specific examples. And this study proposed some subjects of the industrial standard unification and the present situation of standards between two nations.

Organ preservation surgery and minimally invasive surgery have been developed during the past 20 years with major focus on transoral laser surgery, endoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. Two major robotic surgeries in head and neck area are transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and robotic thyroidectomy. Transoral robotic surgery is a safe and efficacious method of surgical treatment of oropharyngeal. hypopharyngeal and laryngeal neoplasm. Advantages of the technique include adequate ability to visualize and manipulate lesions with two hands. TORS can provide magnified three dimensional views and overcome the limitation resulting from the "line of sight" which hinders transoral laser procedure. The swallowing function following transoral robotic surgery show superior and patients were able to retain or rapidly regain swallowing function in the majority of cases. Recently, robotic thyroidectomy has also been developed to overcome the [imitation of endoscopic thyroidectomy. Robotic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillo-breast or axillary approach using a da Vinci S Surgical Robot is a feasible and cosmetically excellent procedure. It can be a promising alternative to endoscopic thyroidectomy or conventional open thyroidectomy.

The earth retaining walls using stabilizing piles can be applied to shallow excavation works without any stiffener. But, It demends a variety of installed composite stiffener on the earth retaining walls when it is installed as deep excavation works. Because, it causes an excessive displacement of walls. This research tried to overcome the problems created by the above issues and intended to apply the composite stiffener. The model test, focused on the effect of installed composite stiffener, measured the bending stress with stabilizing piles and walls, the settlement of earth surface, the displacement of walls for a step excavation and an increase in strip load. With the test results and soil deformation analysis, the reinforcement effect(relating to control displacement and earth presure) was analyzed in a qualitative and quantitative manner. It is expected to overcome a deep excavation works.

This study applied the value of floor-area-ratio standard calculation method to case areas and analyzed them to overcome the limits of previous studies in calculation methods for area standards and land price (value) standard development rights. The results are presented as follows: First, criteria to select sending areas and receiving areas are needed. Second, calculation methods based on the value of floor-area-ratio standard can be widely used as standardized criteria in various areas. Third, for the connection of sending areas with receiving areas, the connections of 1:1, n:1, 1:n, and n:n are available and the location of possible dealing areas should be considered. Also, the choice of connecting unions that meet the purpose of TDR presented by local governments is available. Fourth, for Gwangju, as receiving areas downtown provide higher profits than previous renewal projects, the application of TDR is available. Application methods to overcome problems are presented as follows: First, criteria to select sending and receiving areas should be prepared and implemented in an order of priority. Second, in calculating development rights, methods based on the value of floor-area-ratio standard should be used. Third, the standards and principles of sending and receiving areas should be designated and possible dealing areas should not be limited.

This paper proposes a robust adaptive fuzzy tracking control scheme for a nonholonomic mobile robot with external disturbances as well as parameter uncertainties in the robot kinematics, the robot dynamics, and the actuator dynamics. In modeling a mobile robot, the actuator dynamics is integrated with the robot kinematics and dynamics so that the actuator input voltages are the control inputs. The presented controller is designed based on a FBFN (Fuzzy Basis Function Network) to approximate an unknown nonlinear dynamic function with the uncertainties, and a robust adaptive input to overcome the uncertainties. When the controller is designed, the different parameters for two actuator models in the actuator dynamics are taken into account. The proposed control scheme does not require the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the robot and actuators accurately. It can also alleviate the input chattering and overcome the unknown friction force. The stability of the closed-loop control system including the kinematic control system is guaranteed by using the Lyapunov stability theory and the presented adaptive laws. The validity and robustness of the proposed control scheme are shown through a computer simulation.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs), since their first discovery, have been considered as new promising materials in various fields of applications including field emission displays, memory devices, electrodes, NEMS constituents, hydrogen storages and reinforcements in composites due to their extra-ordinary properties. The carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites have attracted attention owing to their outstanding mechanical and electrical properties and are expected to overcome the limit of conventional materials. Various application areas are possible for carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites through the functionalization of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites have been fabricated by liquid phase process including surface functionalization and dispersion of CNTs within organic solvent. In case of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites, the mechanical strength and electrical conducting can be improved by more than an order of magnitude. The carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites can be applied to high strength polymers, conductive polymers, optical limiters and EMI materials. In spite of successful development of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites, the researches on carbon nanotube reinforced inorganic matrix nanocomposites show limitations due to a difficulty in homogeneous distribution of carbon nanotubes within inorganic matrix. Therefore, the enhancement of carbon nanotube reinforced inorganic nanocomposites is under investigation to maximize the excellent properties of carbon nanotubes. To overcome the current limitations, novel processes, including intensive milling process, sol-gel process, in-situ process and spark plasma sintering of nanocomposite powders are being investigated. In this presentation, current research status on carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites with various matrices are reviewed.

5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used for treatment of solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. However, chemoresistance against 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) often limits its success for chemotherapy and, therefore, finding out appropriate adjuvant(s) that might overcome chemoresistance against 5-FU bears a significant importance. In the present study, we have found that ${\alpha}$-mangostin can sensitize 5-FU-resistant SNUC5/5-FUR colon cancer cells to apoptosis. Exposure of ${\alpha}$-mangostin induced significant DNA damages and increased the intracellular 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OH-G) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) levels in SNUC5 and SNUC5/5-FUR cells. Western blot analysis illustrated that ${\alpha}$-mangostin-induced apoptosis was mediated by the activation of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in SNUC5/5-FUR cells. In particular, we observed that Fas receptor (FasR) level was lower in SNUC5/5-FUR cells, compared with SNUC5 cells and that silencing FasR attenuated ${\alpha}$-mangostin-mediated apoptosis in SNUC5/5-FUR cells. Together, our study illustrates that ${\alpha}$-mangostin might be an efficient apoptosis sensitizer that can overcome chemoresistance against 5-FU by activating apoptosis pathway.

The novel implant system was developed using osseo-integration technology which enable amputee to overcome skin troubles in use of previous socket system and was evaluated in view of biomechanics, radiology, histology, and pathology. The osseo-integrated implants were designed and manufactured using CT image of canine's tibia and were applied to laboratory animals (canines). The follow-up studies were performed for 24 months with 10 canines. In radiology examination, we found that the relative low strain distribution caused medial and posterior bone resorption and then we verified them by biomechanical testing. In histological approach, the complete osseo-integration was observed through the activity of osteoblast cells around bone-implant interface and the radial outer region of bone due to peristeum reaction. Lastly in pathological aspect, the evidence of superficial infection was detected but that of deep infection was not. Therefore it is thought that infection problem will be overcome by immunity of body and good hygiene.
