Objectives : In this study, contact angle and shore D hardness were measured, and a shark fin test was conducted after selecting five addition silicon(Blu-Mousse, BM; EXABITE II, EX; PERFECT, PF; Regisil$^{(R)}$ Rigid, RE; Silagum$^{(R)}$, SI) in order to figure out the properties of elastomeric interocclusal recording materials and reduce errors at interocclusal recording. 8) Methods : A contact angle was measured using a contact angle analyzer. After placing a drop of liquid on the surface of the specimens of interocclusal recording materials, a contact angle was photographed with a CCD camera on the equipment. In terms of a shark fin test, interocclusal recording materials were mixed for the time proposed by the manufacturer and inserted into the split ring of the Shark fin device. Twenty (20) seconds exactly, a metal rod was removed to make the materials slowly absorbed. Once they hardened, fin height was measured with a caliper after separating molds and trimming the specimens. The shore D hardness was measured with a shore D hardness tester(Model HPDSD, Hans Schmidt & Co. Gmbh, Germany) in sixty (60) minutes after fabricating specimens. In each experiment, five specimens, mean and standard deviation were calculated. A one-way ANOVA test was performed at the p>0.05 level of significance. In terms of correlation among the tests, Pearson correlation coefficient was estimated. For multiple comparison, Scheffe's test was carried out. Results : A contact angle was the highest in EX with $99.23^{\circ}$ (p<0.05) while the result of the shark fin test was the longest in RE with 5.45mm. SI was the lowest (0.27mm) with statistical significance. Among the interocclusal recording materials, significant difference was observed in terms of means (p<0.05). The shore D hardness was the highest in SI with 31.0 while RE was significantly low with 16.4 (p<0.05). Among the materials, statistically significant difference was observed in terms of means when compared to the rest materials (RE), BM, RE and SI (PF and EX) and the remaining materials (BM and SI) (p<0.05). In terms of correlations among the tests, a negative correlation occurred between shore D hardness and shark fin test(r=-0.823, p=0.000). Conclusions : According to the study above, it is necessary to understand the properties of interocclusal recording materials and consider contact angle, shark fin test and properties of shore D hardness to select appropriate materials.

Objectives : To develop a physical functioning instrument for older adults living in the community. Methods : A representative sample of 979 people aged 65 years or over were interviewed in-person. Of these, 199 people also completed a detailed in-hospital examination. The scale items were selected based on the frequency of endorsement, along with the item-total and inter-item correlations. The associations of the scale with their physical performance and clinical examination were analyzed to evaluate the criterion-related validity. Construct validity was assessed using factor analysis, and internal consistency through Cronbach's alpha and item-total correlations. Test-retest reliability was measured by agreement between the household survey and the repeat survey at the in-hospital examination. Results : Initially, 23 items on the level of difficulty, ranging from no difficulty to an inability to complete a task, with the specific mobility and self-care tasks were included. Those with a high frequency of endorsement and a low inter-item or item-total correlations were excluded, resulting in a 10-item Physical Functioning (PT) scale. Equal weights were given to each item and a summated score was calculated. Significant associations were found between the PF scores and the physical performance, surrey and clinical data. The scale revealed a 2-factor (mobility and self-care) structure. Cronbach's alpha was 0.92 and the item-total correlations were in the 0.63 to 0.78 range. Pearson's correlations for the test-retest ranged between 0.56 and 0.61. Conclusions : The newly developed Physical Functioning (PF) scale showed good psychometric properties in older people. Further work, however, is needed to improve its sensitivity to discriminate higher levels of functioning, in addition to assessing its predictive value in detecting changes in health.

본 논문은 IEEE802.16 TDD-OFDMA (Time Division Duplex - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 하향링크에서 심플 이동 스케줄러를 채용해 서비스영역을 증가시킬 때, 스케줄러 종류와 모바일 릴레이 설계 중 어느 것이 서비스영역을 증가시키는데 더욱 중요한지를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 채널 스케줄러에는 PF (Proportional Fair)와 TGS (Throughput Guarantee) 스케줄러를 사용하였으며, 릴레이방식으로는 SRARA (Simple-relay aided resource allocation)를 이용해서, 스케줄러와 릴레이를 연동하였다. 심플 릴레이는 모든 기능을 갖고 있는 고정 릴레이와 달리, 적은 송신전력을 갖고 있어서 릴레이를 할 때 무선 자원 할당에 제한을 갖고 있으며, 동적인 무선 자원 할당에 필요한 부가적인 궤환 채널이 많이 필요하기 때문에, 수개정도의 부채널을 릴레이용도로 사용할 수밖에 없다. 논문에서는 단말의 송신전력을 500mW와 1W에 대해서 고려하고, 사용자의 요구 수율은 64Kbps와 128Kbps인 경우에 릴레이용도로 사용하는 부채널의 개수, 채널 스케줄러 및 릴레이가 서비스 영역의 향상에 끼치는 영향을 시뮬레이션을 통해서 알아보았다. 요구 수율이 64kbps일 때, 스케줄러보다는 릴레이에 의한 성능 개선이 더 크며, 128kbps인 경우에는 심플 릴레이가 제한된 자원량만을 사용할 수 밖에 없기 때문에 릴레이에 의한 것보다 스케줄러에 의한 개선이 더 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper has been presented a design of a POCSAG decoder in RT-level VHDL and implemented in a FPGA chip, and tested. In a single clock of 76.8KHz, the decoder receives all the data of the rate of 512/1200/2400bps and has maximum 2-own frames for service enhancement. To improve decoder performance, the decoder uses a preamble detection cosidering 9% frequency tolerance, a SCW detction and a ICW detection at each 4 bit. The decoder also corrects a address data and a message data up to 2 bits and proposes the PF (preamble frequency) error for saving battery. The decoder increases a battery life owing to turn off RF circuits when the preamble signal is detected with nises. The chip has been designed in RT-level VHdL, synthesized into logic gates using power view$^{TM}$ of viewlogic software. The chip has been implemented in an ALTERA EPF81188GC232-3 FPGA chip with 98% usability, and fully tested in shield room and field room. The chip has been proved that the wrong detection numbers of preamble of noises are significantly reduced in the pager system using PDI 2400 through the real field test. The receiving performance is improved by 20% of aaverage, compared with other existing systems.

In order to understand the effects of different oils on the production performances and polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol level in the yolk. 160 Hexices hens at 42 wks were divided into four groups randomly. Each group fed with control diet (CG), control diet+5% fish oil (FG), control diet+5% palm oil (PG) and control diet+5% soybean oil (SG), respectively. After three weeks' experiment, the results showed that: different oils showed no significant effect on feed/egg weight, egg white weight, body weight, C16, C18:3 n-6 and C20:4 n-6 contents in the yolk (p>0.05). But the egg mass of PG was higher than SG (p<0.05), the average egg weight of CG was lower than FG (p<0.05), and the of PG was lower than FG (p<0.05), during the experiment, FG gained more than SG (p<0.05), the cholesterol level in yolk of FG was lower than PG and CG (p<0.01), meanwhile the C20:5 n-3 content of FG was higher than CG and SG (p<0.01), and no C20:5 n-3 was detected in PF, as far as C22:6 n-3 in the yolk was concerned, FG was higher than PG (p<0.01), the C18:1 n-9 content of SG was lower than PG (p<0.05), the C18:2 n-6 content of SG was the highest than other three groups (p<0.01), and CG was the lowest, showed significant to FG (p<0.05), the C18:3 n-3 content of FG was higher than SG and PG (p<0.05), and the C20:1 n-9 content of FG was higher than other groups (p<0.01). The results demonstrated that fish oil could decrease the cholesterol and increase the n-3 fatty acids content in the yolk, and increase the n-3/n-6 level.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary zinc and ethanol on the mineral contents of serum and changes of the liver tissue. Eighty male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain with average weight of 80$\pm$5g were divided into five groups according to zinc levels(5ppm and 100ppm), ethanol and isocaloric sucrose feedings. The rats were sacrificed after 4 and 7 weeks of feeding periods. The results are summarized as follows. 1. There was a decrease of weight gain in the ZD group compared with the C group and also decreased in the CE and ZDE groups fed the ethanol solution. The feed intake was decreased in the ZD and ZDE groups, and the feed efficiency was also greatly reduced in the ZDE group. 2. The liver weight of the ZD and ZDE groups was increased, however, the weight of testis was decreased in the same groups. And the weight of spleen was decreased in the ZD group. 3. The AST and ALT activities of serum were significantly increased in the ZDE group. 4. The content of serum zinc was influenced by the dietary zinc level, and the amount was significantly decreased in the ZD group. But the content of serum copper was remarkably increased in the ZD grou. The calcium and magnesium contents of serum were decreased in the ZD and ZDE groups. 5. The morphological changes of the liver tissue were not different among the C, CE and PF groups, but the abllooning denaturation of the liver cell together with the infiltration of the local inflammation cell was found in ZD and ZDE groups.

The completely mixed flow and plug flow (CAP) water quality model was developed for streams with discontinuous flows, a condition that often occurs in low base flow streams with in-stream hydraulic structures, especially during dry seasons. To consider the distinct physical properties of each reach effectively, the CAP model stream network can include both plug flow (PF) segments and completely mixed flow (CMF) segments. Many existing water quality models are capable of simulating various constituents and their interactions in surface water bodies. More complicated models do not necessarily produce more accurate results because of problems in data availability and uncertainties. Due to the complicated and even random nature of environmental forcing functions, it is not possible to construct an ideal model for every situation. Therefore, at present, many governmental level water quality standards and decisions are still based on lumped constituents, such as the carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD), the total nitrogen (TN) or the total phosphorus (TP). In these cases, a model dedicated to predicting the target concentration based on available data may provide as equally accurate results as a general purpose model. The CAP model assumes that its water quality constituents are independent of each other and thus can be applied for any constituent in waters that follow first order reaction kinetics. The CAP model was applied to the Geum River in Korea and tested for CBOD, TN, and TP concentrations. A trial and error method was used for parameter calibration using the field data. The results agreed well with QUAL2EU model predictions.

This landscape design proposal was presented for a competition for mixed-use development project by project financing in Asan Baebang which was held by the Korea National Housing Corporation in July of 2005. The site is a center of Asan Baebang New Town Development District and has a commercial area of $57,929m^{2}$. Design guidelines and judging criteria of this competition were to build a symbolic center and cultural core for district, to elevate positive image and identity of Asan New Town by attractive place making, to link with separated block in the site and regional context, and to make environmentally sustainable design by creating an attractive waterfront of Jang Jae stream passing through the site. This is the most important condition for the design. Therefore, the authors developed design concept and strategy within the guidelines and this conditions. The schema of the design was introduced by the water in the site. To evolve design concept, we reinterpreted water and context in the site combining with landscape design strategy. So the proposal set the main design concept as 'all that is solid melt into water' as if Marshall Berman said. By doing that, design concept of the proposal evolved as follows: 'extension' of water and greer, 'a joint' of space,'newness' of experience, 'breath' of consensus with each other. The spatial concept of this project was developed by expressing five theme spaces; eco zone, entertainment zone, art zone, culture zone, leisure zone. These theme spaces were consecutively placed along the pedestrian path and to consists of vertical layer in each level and diverse design technique and spatial effects are used.

기회적 빔포밍(OBF)은 채널이 거의 변하지 않는 환경에서도 기지국에서 랜덤 빔을 발생시켜서 인위적으로 다중 사용자 다이버시티 이득을 얻는 기법이며, 궤환 정보량도 순시 SNR 정보만을 필요로 한다. 이러한 이점에도 불구하고 수신단에서의 채널 추정 오류는 부정확한 순시 SNR의 원인이 된다. 특히 추정된 SNR에 의해 선택된 AMC 레벨이 실제 채널 용량보다 큰 전송율을 요구할 때는 패킷의 손실이 불가피 하다. 본 논문에서는 채널 추정 성능을 고려하여 계산한 보수적 인자를 이용해 추정된 SNR을 인위적으로 감소시킴으로써 성능 저하를 방지하는 보수적 링크 적응 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 보수적 인자는 실제 채널 SNR과 감소된 추정 SNR의 차이의 최대값의 분산을 최소화 하도록 계산된다. 이를 위해 실제 채널 SNR과 추정된 SNR의 차이의 통계량을 수학적으로 분석하였다. 실제 LS 추정기를 적용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 채널 추정 오류가 있는 상황에서 제안된 방식이 추정 오류로 저하된 평균 수율 성능을 두 배 이상 향상시키고, 비례적 공정 스케줄러의 공평성 성능을 손상시키지 않음도 확인하였다.
