  • This study was conducted to determine the main effect of the breed, parity, forrowing year and month on average daily gain, feed efficiency, backfat thickness, age at 90 Kg body weight and selection index. The data analysis were the record of 115 male pigs producted from Landrace. Large Yorkshire and Duroc purebreds tested at Chungnam Province Animal Breeding Station from 1986 to 1990. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The breed average of daily gain, feed efficiency, backfat thickness, age at 90Kg body weight and selection index were $922.25{\pm}17.2$g, $2.85{\pm}0.04$, $2.03{\pm}0.04$cm, $135.44{\pm}1.38$ days and $168.33{\pm}2.42$, respectively. 2. The effect of breed was highly significant at 1% level in average daily gain, age at 90Kg body weight and selection index, and significant at 5% level in backfat thickness. Among the purebreds, Duroc was superior in average daily gain, age at 90Kg body weight and selection index with 977.22g, 132.47 days and 172.35, respectively. But Large Yorkshire was 1.95cm thiner than other breeds in backfat thickness. 3. The effect of parity was highly significant at 1% level in average daily gain, and significant at 5% level in backfat thickness and selection index. Among the parity, the 3rd and 4th parity were superior in average daily gain and selection index with 974.92g 177.61, 959.48g and 177.84, respectively. 4. The effect of forrowing year was highly significant at 1% level in average daily gain, feed efficiency and selection index, and that of forrowing month was highly significant at 1% level in average daily gain, and significant at 5% level in backfat thickness and selection index, respectively.

  • This study was conducted to determine the differences in the growth and milk production performance of Holstein Crossbreds (Korean Native Cattle(♀)${\times}$Holstein(♂)) and Korean Native Cattle produced at the Livestock Experiment Station of the Office of Rural Developement from 1973 to 1978. The number of heifers and cows used in this experiment were 15 head of Korean Native Cattle and 11 head pf Holstein Crossbreds Cattle. Body weight and body measurements were taken at birth, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months of age, however, body measurements were not taken at birth. Milk production was checked from the 11 th day to 180th day after calving. The data was analyzed using the least square procedure in order to estimate the effect of the mating group, year of birth, calving season and parity. The results obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The body weights of the Holstein Crossbreds were heavier than the body weights of purebred Korean Native Cattle. The body weight of the Holstein Crossbreds averaged 28.09kg, 146.64kg, 254.48kg, 392.04kg and 454.46kg at birth, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months of age, respectively. However, the body weights of purebreds Korean Native Cattle averaged 22.45kg, 132.82kg, 220.68kg, 363.54kg and 365.54kg at the same ages. 2. The year of birth affected on body weight at each point during the growing stage, except birth, heifers born in the spring and autumn were heavier than the others, but calving season did not affect on body weight during the growing stage except at birth and 6 months. 3. Parity showed significant differences on body weight in the growing stage. Calves from the 5th parity had a tendency to be heavier than the other calves. 4. The year of birth, calving season and parity at calving had no affect on the change of body measurements, but the wither height, hip height, chest depth, chest girth and hip width were significantly greater in the Holstein Crossbreds at 24 months of age. 5. Mating groups had a significant affect on milk production during the growing stage. Year of birth and calving season did not affect milk production, but parity was significant from 11 days after calving. 6. The least-squares means used to determine the daily milk production were 3.60 and 8.26kg/day for Korean Native Cattle and the Holstein Crossbreds, respectively.

  • A biologically inspired fuzzy multilayer perceptron is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is established under consideration of biological neuronal structure as well as fuzzy logic operation. We applied this suggested learning algorithm to benchmark problem in neural network such as exclusive OR and 3-bit parity, and to digit image recognition problems. For the comparison between the existing and proposed neural networks, the convergence speed is measured. The result of our simulation indicates that the convergence speed of the proposed learning algorithm is much faster than that of conventional backpropagation algorithm. Furthermore, in the image recognition task, the recognition rate of our learning algorithm is higher than of conventional backpropagation algorithm.

  • This paper proposes two kinds of complexity-reduced algorithms for a low density parity check (LDPC) decoder. First, sequential decoding using a partial group is proposed. It has the same hardware complexity and requires a fewer number of iterations with little performance loss. The amount of performance loss can be determined by the designer, based on a tradeoff with the desired reduction in complexity. Second, an early detection method for reducing the computational complexity is proposed. Using a confidence criterion, some bit nodes and check node edges are detected early on during decoding. Once the edges are detected, no further iteration is required; thus early detection reduces the computational complexity.

  • A multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system using low-density parity-check (LDPC) code and iterative decoding is presented. The iterative decoding is performed by combining the zero-forcing technique and LDPC decoding through the use of the 'turbo principle.' The proposed system is shown to be effective with high order modulation and outperforms the space frequency block code (SFBC) method with iterative decoding.

  • An outbreak of vivax malaria has been occurring in northern part of Kyonggi-do and north-western part of Kangwon-do, where are located near the demilitarized Zone, since 1993. For understanding of epidemiological features of malaria, the probability of daily survival of Anopheles sinensis, the vector species of malaria was compared in malarious and non-malarious areas in July-August, 2000. Total 915 females collected at three locations in malarious areas were dissected for ovaries, and 64.6% of the parous rate was found. Total 758 females collected at three locations in non-malarious areas were dissected, and 57.8% of the parous rate was observed. It was estimated from the parous rates that the probability of daily survival of An. sinensis females was 0.864 in malarious areas and 0.850 in non-malarious areas, which was not significantly different.

  • 디지털 신호 및 전송부호의 오류검출에는 예전부터 패리티 체크가 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 패리티 체크 기법은 구현 및 알고리즘이 단순, 간결한 우수성이 있지만 특정 데이터 비트의 경우 오류 검출이 불가능하다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이후 패리티 체크 기법은 해밍 코드 및 채널 오류 정정을 위한 LDPC 코드와 같은 다양한 오류검출 및 정정 알고리즘에 적용되어 발전되어 왔으며, 그 중 LDPC 코드의 bit-flipping 알고리즘에서는 패리티 기법을 반복적으로 적용하는 방식을 택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 채널 오류 정정을 위한 LDPC의 bit-flipping 알고리즘을 이차원 코드에 적용하고, 이 때 bit-flipping 알고리즘이 가지고 있는 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 개선된 LDPC 코드를 제안한다.

  • Extending from Grossman and Stiglitz (1980), we provide an asset pricing model of a synchronously traded cross-listed pair under information asymmetry. Following Garbade and Silber (1983), the model further embraces multi-market price discovery in a dynamic framework. The implications are as follows: The price sensitivity of holdings is higher for informed traders than for uninformed traders; the largest cross-border price spread occurs in the absence of arbitrageurs; price discovery is more likely in markets with a larger population of informed traders; and parity convergence accelerates with a higher price elasticity of demand of arbitrageurs.

  • In this paper, to enhance the performance of ${\pi}$/4-DQPSK (${\pi}$/4-differential quadrature phase shift keying), the scheme using nonredundant multiple error correction is proposed and investigated. This scheme for the differential detection of ${\pi}$/4-DQPSK uses the signal output which is delayed for more than two time slots as the parity check bit and applies it to nonredundant multiple error correction. The proposed system was used for studying the performance of ${\pi}$/4-DQPSK with Nonredundant Error Correction (NEC) in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Nakagami fade modeled mobile communication channel, and it was observed that the performance increased as the error correction capability increased.
