This paper deals with the digital autopilot implementation for a launch vehicle. We propose a hardware and software system for digital autopilot implemented by microprocessor. The hardware system designed in this paper consists of CPU and memory board with 80286 MPU and 80287 NPU and I/O interface with A/D and D/A converters. The software system developed is composed of power-on self-test program, initializing program, interrupt service program, and control program. The performance of the overall system controlled by the digital autopilot implemented in this paper is evaluated via real-time simulations, which show that the control performances are satisfactory.

We have recently installed SQUEAN on the 82 inch telescope at the McDonald Observatory, USA. This instrument consists of an ANDOR CCD camera, a focal reducer, an electronic box, an auto guiding system and a new filter wheel which holds up to 20 filters. Currently the filter wheel is equipped with Johnson-Cousins BVRI filters, SDSS rizY and isiz filters, and 50nm medium band pass filters (M625(625nm), M675(675nm), M725(725nm), M775(775nm), M825(825nm), M875(875nm), M925s(925nm), M975(975nm), and M1025(1025nm)). Our medium band pass filter system is suitable with SED fitting. Filter transformation methods are essential for time-domain observations including transient objects, e.g., supernovae, variable stars, and solar system bodies. In this work, we develop a series of equations to convert the open clusters photometry data within these filter systems.

Seaweeds produce antioxidants to counteract environmental stresses, and these antioxidant genes are regarded as important defense strategies for marine algae. In this study, the expression of Pyropia yezoensis (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) ascorbate peroxidase (PyAPX) and manganese-superoxide dismutase (PyMnSOD) was examined by qRT-PCR in P. yezoensis blades under abiotic stress conditions. Furthermore, the functional relevance of these genes was explored by overexpressing them in Chlamydomonas. A comparison of the different expression levels of PyAPX and PyMnSOD after exposure to each stress revealed that both genes were induced by high salt and UVB exposure, being increased approximately 3-fold after 12 h. The expression of the PyAPX and PyMnSOD genes also increased following exposure to $H_2O_2$. When these two genes were overexpressed in Chlamydomonas, the cells had a higher growth rate than control cells under conditions of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress, increased salinity, and UV exposure. These data suggest that Chlamydomonas is a suitable model for studying the function of stress genes, and that PyAPX and PyMnSOD genes are involved in the adaptation and defense against stresses that alter metabolism.

In traditional method, the establishment of database for current data of underground utilities would frequently occur a lot of losses in the time, economic effect and problems of accuracy because the procedure for the generations of transverse and vertical section mapping would be composed of many steps and the establishment of underground utility is inefficiently accomplished. The goals of this study are 1) to obtain digital information and data aquisition simultaneously by realtime in the field, 2) to develop the computer program of generation of transverse and vertical section mapping based on the plan for data transformation. As a result of this study, the establishment of database for underground utilities is able to save the time and improve economic effect and accuracy while minimizing errors in rewriting and acquiring data.

The aim of this essay is to identify elements of methodologies to investigate the development of Newtonian dynamics. This methodology involves the transformation and synthesis of preceding theories. My essay attempts to confirm my assertion by analyzing historical case of Newton's discovery of his dynamics. While discovering his mechanistic theory, Newton reconstructed theoretical concepts and structures of intellectual predecessors, such as Aristotle, Descartes, Galileo, and Kepler. Newton's synthesis was possible only after carefully reconstructing the appropriate and useful ideas of previous natural philosophers' ideas. As a result, Newtonian dynamics are completed with these modified and integrated concepts incorporated into Newton's law of motion and space-time concepts. This study consists of two parts. First, Lakatos' research program has been applied in order to analyze the structure of Newtonian dynamics. Second, the aforementioned methodologies of discovery are distilled from the case study.

A system for the production of transgenic plants has been developed for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Included in this study were two factors which may affect the gene transfer efficiency: concentrations of acetosyringone (AS, 0 to 300 ${\mu}M$), and co-culture period (1 to 7 days). Both factors were very important to achieve high efficiency gene transformation in the perennial ryegrass. The highest transformation efficiency was obtained when embryogenic calli were inoculated with Agrobacterium in the presence of 100 ${\mu}M$ AS with the culture medium for 5 days. Phosphinothricin resistant calli were developed with into complete plants. GUS histochemical assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Northern blot analysis of transgenic plants demonstrated that transgenes were integrated into the genome of perennial ryegrass. Using this protocol, it was possible to obtain transformants efficiently for further study.

Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is an important forage and turfgrass that spreads by stolons and rhizomes. Zoysiagrass stolon can be used directly for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation by exploiting the potential of direct shoot formation. However, surface sterilization of field-grown stolons is difficult and remains to be explored. We developed an effective surface sterilization and culture method using the stolon explant for infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Among various treatments, sequential disinfection in 30% bleach for 15 min followed by 0.1% mercuric chloride for 25 min resulted in the highest number of clean stolons. The efficacy of mercuric chloride was increased under vacuum conditions by incubating at 800 mbar for 5 min. The inclusion of 2.5 mg/l amphotericin B further prevents fungal growth in in vitro cultures. This protocol would speed up the development of transgenic plants by utilizing field-grown stolon nodes.

Recently, there is greater demand for stable supply of electric power as higher level of our living. It becomes the important problem that the cause of fault in power system is found out in early stage, if once it occurs. In this respect, accurate classification of arcing faults in power systems is vitally important. This paper presents a new classification method for arcing faults in power system. To obtain data of various faults including high impedance fault(HIF) and low impedance fault(LIF), HIF model with the ZnO arrester is adopted and implemented within the overall transmission system model based on the electromagnetic transients program(EMTP). Results of phase plane trajectory if Clarke modal transformation using postfault current and voltage are utilized to classify types of arcing faults. The performance of the proposed method is tested on a typical 154 kV korean transmission system under various fault conditions. As can be seen from results, phase plane trajectory of postfault current should be combined with that of o component from Clarke modal transformation to give reliability of clear fault classification. Thus the proposed method can classify arcing faults including LIFs and HIFs accurately in power systems.

Traditionally, genetic variability is generated by an extensive crossing program, which is complemented by strict selection to identify useful new recombinants. Plant biotechnology offers many opportunities for breeders to solve certain breeding problems at the molecular level. The tissue culture methodology and the genetic modification of economically important monocotyledons have undergone a revolution in the last decade. As the production of transgenic plants is a complex procedure, including the uptake of DNA molecules into the cells, the integration of foreign nucleotide sequences into the host genomic DNA and the expression of new genes in a controlled way, and as there are still many unsolved questions, further development is necessary. The methodology opens up the possibility of introducing novel genes that may induce resistance to diseases and abiotic stresses, allow the modification of dough quality and the dietetic quality of proteins, and increase the levels of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamins. In the present review, the authors would like to summarise the most important advances in wheat transformation.

This paper examines new phenomenon and transformation that arise from the expansion of knowledge-based economy, envisions the meaning of e-government through comparing traditional administration with new governance, formulates the e-government model, and presents a direction for next e-government for the conclusion. These new phenomenon include a transformation to product and service convergence model, cyber sovereignty dilemma, privacy and information security threats, and various others. Also, there is a gradual transformation from government-oriented administrative approach to a new governance model that strengthens the role of NGO. And, e-government must work together to realize this new governance ideology. New e-government must be transformed where government and citizens can implement and manage e-government together. Therefore, expanding applications of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies, promotion of e-Democracy, and improvement of user interface to improve usability must be emphasized.
