This study was done to evaluate the dermatoxicity of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and the protective effect of Rubus parvifolius L. (RP) extract on cytotoxicity of ZnSO4, mordant in cultured SK-MEL-3 cells. For this study, it was done an antioxidative effect as DPPH-radical scavenging ability as well as the diminutive ability of total melanin with cell viability. ZnSO4 significantly decreased cell viability in dose-dependently, and it was mid-toxic. The ascorbic acid significantly increased cell viability damaged by ZnSO4-induced cytotoxicity. In the protective effect of RP extract on ZnSO4-induced cytotoxicity, RP extract significantly increased cell viability compared with ZnSO4-treated group, and also it showed both the DPPH-radical scavenging ability and the decrease of total amount of melanin. From these findings, the cytotoxicity of ZnSO4 is correlated with oxidative stress, and also RP extract effectively protected ZnSO4-induced cytotoxicity via antioxidative effect such as DPPH-radical scavenging ability with the whitening effect by the decrement of total amount of melanin. Conclusively, the natural ingredients like RP extract may be a useful agent for the improvement of antioxidative and whitening effects

This study was aimed to develop a gruel using rice extrudates and to evaluate physicochemical properties of Tarakjuk (milk porridge; MP) prepared with milk (M) and rice powder (RP, control), rice extrudate (RE), or enzyme treated rice extrudates (ETR). Pasting property of ETR was significantly different from those of RP or RE with significantly low peak viscosity, breakdown and setback values in the ETR sample. Viscosity of MP prepared with ETR was also significantly low, as compared to that of control (> 900 cP). The total solids and spreadability of MP with ETR was higher than those with RP or RE. Hunter color values varied significantly depending on enzyme treatment levels in ETR samples with enzyme dose-dependent increase in b-value. Average starch digestibility of ETR sample was higher by 10.2% than that of control sample. DPPH radical scavenging activities of ETR samples were greater than those of RE or RP. These results indicated that ETR could be beneficial for preparing easy-drink and diet food with higher starch digestibility and fluidity, especially for gastric tube-fed patients.

바늘침 전극을 사용한 대기압 플라즈마 제트의 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 접지 전극 위치, 안정 커패시터 크기 등 변수에 따라서 플라즈마 제트 방전 특성의 변화를 조사한다. 각 실험조건의 등가회로를 통해서, 플라즈마 방전 특성(IV-curve)을 분석한다. 등가회로에서 안정 커패시터 Cp, 유리관 내부 플라즈마 저항 RP, 접지측 유리층 커패시턴스 CG, 대기 접지 RA, 등의 각 변수들을 검토한다. Rp 및 Rj는 방전이 강해질수록 작아진다. 특히 타운젠트 방전 후 Rp 및 Rj는 약 수십 $k{\Omega}$으로 작아진다, 회로 전체 임피던스와 비교하면 아주 작은 값이다. 안정 커패시터 와 접지 측 유리 층의 임피던스는 수백 $k{\Omega}$으로 아주 크다. 방전이 진행되면서 플라즈마 저항 Rp 및 Rj가 급감하여도 Cp 및 CG의 역할로 회로전체 임피던스가 일정한 값을 유지할 수 있어서 전류가 급증 하는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 대기 접지 RA는 $M{\Omega}$으로, 접지 전극이 없을 때 방전 개시전압도 높아진다.

Depending on the location of the rendezvous point (RP), the network efficiency is determined in the core based tree (CBT) or protocol independent multicast-sparse mode (PIM-5M) multicasting protocol to provide the multicast services based on the shared tree. In this paper, a new algorithm to allocate the RP using the estimated values of the total cost and the size(number of entries) of the routing tables is proposed for efficiently controlling the cost and the number of routing table entries. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the total cost in 5.37%, and the size of routing tables in 13.35% as compared to the previous algorithm.

For the indoor location, wireless fingerprinting is most favorable because fingerprinting is most accurate among the technique for wireless network based indoor location which does not require any special equipments dedicated for positioning. As fingerprinting method,k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighborsk and positions of reference points(RPs). So possibilistic fuzzy c-means(PFCM) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/PFCM hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN,k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of PFCM based on signal to noise ratio(SNR). Then, thek RPs are classified into different clusters through PFCM based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/PFCM hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN and KNN/FCM algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

Purpose: The purpose this study was to evaluate the marginal fitness of metal copings fabricated using rapid prototyping method and to compare the fitness with copings by conventional method. Then clinical availability of fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated using rapid prototyping method shall be confirmed based on marginal fitness. Methods: Ten same cases of3 unit FDPs epoxy models (abutment teeth 14 and 16) were manufactured. Each of ten epoxy models were scanned by 3shape D-700 scanner to be designed by experienced technician, and photopolymer 3 unit FDPs were fabricated using rapid prototyping methodand fabricated using Lost wax technique (LW) with same models. Marginal fitness of 3 unit FDPs were measured by silicone replica technique. T-test of independent sample for statistical analysis was executed with SPSS 12.0K for Windows. (${\alpha}$=.05) Results: Significantly higher mean (SD) marginal fitness (P<.000) were observed in the RP group $(95.9(18.0){\mu}m$ compared to the conventionally LW group $(80.1(13.8){\mu}m$. Conclusion: Marginal fitness of LW group showed excellent rather than RP group. However marginal fitness of 3 unit FDPs fabricated by RP method did not get out of clinical allowance value range significantly to allow clinical application.

For any pattern matching based algorithm in WLAN environment, the characteristics of signal to noise ratio(SNR) to multiple access points(APs) are utilized to establish database in the training phase, and in the estimation phase, the actual two dimensional coordinates of mobile unit(MU) are estimated based on the comparison between the new recorded SNR and fingerprints stored in database. As fingerprinting method, k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighbors k and positions of reference points(RPs). So intuitive fuzzy c-means(IFCM) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/IFCM hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN, k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of IFCM based on signal to noise ratio(SNR). Then, the k RPs are classified into different clusters through IFCM based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/IFCM hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN, KNN/FCM, KNN/PFCM algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

In spite water direct seeding cultivation of rice has advantages in terms of laborsaving and cost-down, it demonstrates uneven seedling establishment and difficult weed management. To select an applicable mat for mulching system of water seeded rice, weed occurrence, growth and yield performances of rice, and soil temperature were evaluated in several kinds of biodegradable mulching material. Field studies were conducted at the experimental farm of National Crop Experiment Station in 1999 and 2000. Among the mats tested in 1999, Safer-mat had the greatest effect on inhibiting weed occurrence and Lawn-mat demonstrated the least efficacy of weed control (EWC) value. In Safer-mat treatment, Ludwigia prostrata was the dominant weed species but Echinochloa crus-galli was not observed. Different kinds of mulching material from the mats studied in 1999 were tested in 2000. Biodegradable polyester (PES) coated on the recycled paper for newspaper press (RP) treatments showed similar or higher EWC values than non-mulched broadcast seed rice with 2 times of herbicide application (BC-herbicide) and Safer-mat that was the most effective mat on preventing weed appearance in 1999. Immediately after mat mulching on the surface of paddy soil, five pregerminated rice seeds were manually sown in each 3cm-hole formerly punctured at 30${\times}$14 cm spacing in 2000. All the 3 kinds of mulching material tested in 2000 had better seedling stand than BC-herbicide treatment. Rice yield in PES coated with 10 thickness on RP (PES10 $\mu\textrm{m}$＋RP) was a little higher than in BC-herbicide treatment but the former produced less panicles in unit land area than the latter. PES10 $\mu\textrm{m}$＋RP demonstrated a great effect on raising soil surface temperature than non-mulching treatment throughout the period of seedling establishment.
