Lower termites require symbiotic microbes in their gut. The microbial communities in the termites must adapt to the termite temperature. Reticulitermes speratus KMT001 from Bukhan Mountain in Seoul may require a special symbiotic microorganisms for growth in low temperature Korean habitat. A metagenomics analysis showed a dramatic change in the symbiotic bacterial flora in the gut of R. speratus KMT001 in response to low temperatures of $4^{\circ}C$ or $10^{\circ}C$. Elusimicrobia, which are endosymbionts of flagellate protists, is the dominant phylum in the termite gut at ${\geq}15^{\circ}C$ but its population decreased drastically at low temperature. Four representative bacterial strains isolated from R. speratus KMT001 in a previous study produced maximum ${\beta}$-glucosidase levels within the temperature range of $10^{\circ}C-30^{\circ}C$. Elizabethkingia sp. BM10 produced ${\beta}$-glucosidase specifically at $10^{\circ}C$. This strain supported the existence of symbiotic bacteria for the low temperature habitat of the termite. This identified bacterium will be a resource for studying low temperature adaptation of termites, studying the gene expression at low temperatures, and developing an industrial cellulase at low temperature.

The IEEE 802.11 wireless standard uses the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) as its MAC protocol (during the distributed coordination function period). This protocol is an adaptation of the CSMA/CD of the wired networks. CSMA/CA mechanism cannot guarantee quality of service (QoS) required by the application because orits random access method. In this study, we propose a new MAC protocol that considers different types of traffic (e.g., voice and data) and for each traffic type different priority levels are assigned. To improve the QoS of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocols over a multi-channel CSMA/CA, we have developed a new admission policy for both voice and data traffics. This protocol can be performed in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). For voice traffic we reserve a channel, while for data traffic the access is random using a CSMA/CA mechanism, and in this case a selective reject and push-out mechanism is added to meet the quality of service required by data traffic. To study the performance of the proposed protocol and to show the benefits of our design, a mathematical model is built based on Markov chains. The system could be represented by a Markov chain which is difficult to solve as the state-space is too large. This is due to the resource management and user mobility. Thus, we propose to build an aggregated Markov chain with a smaller state-space that allows performance measures to be computed easily. We have used stochastic comparisons of Markov chains to prove that the proposed access protocol (with selective reject and push-out mechanisms) gives less loss rates of high priority connections (data and voices) than the traditional one (without admission policy and selective reject and push-out mechanisms). We give numerical results to confirm mathematical proofs.

우리나라 건설산업의 환경은 IMF를 기준으로 급격하게 변화하였다. IMF 이전에는 정부의 제도적인 보호막과 일부 관행으로 인해 안정된 환경을 보장받아왔으나 최근 대형 공공공사의 발주물량의 감소와 더불어 시장예측의 불확실성 증대, 공공 공사의 효율화 및 투명성 제고를 위한 입 $\cdot$ 낙찰 제도의 개선, 업체의 급격한 증가 등의 이유로 건설업계 경쟁은 더욱 치열해졌다. 이러한 경쟁의 심화는 조직구조가 취약하고 기술, 자금 등 경영자원이 부족한 중규모 건설업체가 환경변화에 신속히 대응하고 원가 절감 및 생산성 향상을 위한 지속적인 투자와 건설시장에서 살아남기 위한 전략수립을 요구하고 있다고 할 수있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중규모 건설기업을 대상으로 경영학의 산업구조분석 이론인 전략군 분석 이론을 응용하여 경쟁기업들 중 유사전략을 취하는 군집별 특성을 도출하여 제안함으로써 이를 통해 자사와 경쟁사의 경쟁영역 및 상대적 위치를 파악하고 미래 전략방향 결정을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있게 하고자 한다.

Phylogeographic and feeding ecological studies of seven terrestrial mustelid species (Carnivora, Mustelidae), the Japanese marten Martes melampus, the sable Martes zibellina, the Japanese badger Meles anakuma, the ermine or the stoat Mustela erminea, the Japanese weasel Mustela itatsi, the least weasel Mustela nivalis, and the Siberian weasel Mustela sibirica, representing four biogeographic patterns in the Japanese archipelagos (Hokkaido, Honshu-Shikoku-Kyushu, Tsushima, and Hokkaido-Honshu), were reviewed in order to clarify causes for the faunal assemblage processes of those mustelid species in Japan. Here, three main constraints were extracted as important factors on the mustelid assemblage. First, fundamental evolutionary differences maintained by niche conservatism in each ecologically diversified lineage ("evolutionary constraint") would enable the species to co-occur without any major problem (coexistence among Martes, Meles, and Mustela species). Second, "ecological constraints" would force two closely related species to be allopatric by competitive exclusion (Mu. itatsi and Mu. sibirica) or to be sympatric by resource partitions (Mu. erminea and Mu. nivalis). Third and most importantly, "geological constraints" would allow specific species to be embraced by a particular geographic region, primarily deciding which species co-occurs. The allopatric distribution of two Martes species in Japan would have been established by the strong effect of the geological separation in Tsugaru Strait. Elucidating both phylogeny and ecology of co-existing species in a community assemblage is important to know which species possess distinct lineage and which ecological traits are adapted to local environments, fulfilling the requirement of the field of conservation biology that endemism and adaptation should both be considered. The Japanese archipelagos would, therefore, provide valuable insight into the conservation for small carnivoran species.

Today's Internet which provides communication channels with best-effort end-to-end performance is rapidly evolving into an autonomic global computing platform. Achieving autonomicity in the Future Internet will require a performance architecture that (a) allows users to request and own 'slices' of geographically-distributed host and network resources, (b) measures and monitors end-to-end host and network status, (c) enables analysis of the measurements within expert systems, and (d) provides performance intelligence in a timely manner for application adaptations to improve performance and scalability. We describe the requirements and design of one such "Future Internet performance architecture" (FIPA), and present our reference implementation of FIPA called 'OnTimeMeasure.' OnTimeMeasure comprises of several measurement-related services that can interact with each other and with existing measurement frameworks to enable performance intelligence. We also explain our OnTimeMeasure deployment in the global environment for network innovations (GENI) infrastructure collaborative research initiative to build a sliceable Future Internet. Further, we present an applicationad-aptation case study in GENI that uses OnTimeMeasure-enabled performance intelligence in the context of dynamic resource allocation within thin-client based virtual desktop clouds. We show how a virtual desktop cloud provider in the Future Internet can use the performance intelligence to increase cloud scalability, while simultaneously delivering satisfactory user quality-of-experience.

산림은 지구온난화의 주범이라 할 수 있는 이산화탄소를 광합성 작용을 통해 식생과 토양 등에 저장 할 수 있다. 또한, 산림에서 벌채된 나무는 부패되거나 연소되지 않는 한 장기적으로 이산화탄소를 저장할 수 있으며 벌채된 지역에서는 재조림을 통해 탄소흡수원을 확충할 수 있다. 산림은 증산작용을 통해 기온을 낮추는 등 미세기후 조절 역할로 지구기후시스템에 기여하고 있다. 이와 같은 이유로 지구 온난화를 줄이기 위해서 대기중에 방출된 온실가스의 흡수원으로서 산림이 필수적인 것으로 평가되어져 왔다. 이러한 측면에서 기후변화에 대한 지구 탄소 순환적응 프로그램을 확충하고 한국형 산림 모델로 발전 시키는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 국외에서 개발한 여러 종류의 산림 부문 기후변화 영향 평가 모형을 비교 분석하여 우리나라 산림 생태 모형으로 적용할 수 있는지를 검토하였다. 또한, 모형별 입력 자료 확보 가능성을 기초로 구동 가능 모형을 선정하여 문제점을 파악한 후 대안을 도출하였다.

The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is an endangered, large-bodied crane native to East Asia. It is a traditional symbol of longevity and its long lifespan has been confirmed both in captivity and in the wild. Lifespan in birds is known to be positively correlated with body size and negatively correlated with metabolic rate, though the genetic mechanisms for the red-crowned crane's long lifespan have not previously been investigated. Using whole genome sequencing and comparative evolutionary analyses against the grey-crowned crane and other avian genomes, including the long-lived common ostrich, we identified redcrowned crane candidate genes with known associations with longevity. Among these are positively selected genes in metabolism and immunity pathways (NDUFA5, NDUFA8, NUDT12, SOD3, CTH, RPA1, PHAX, HNMT, HS2ST1, PPCDC, PSTK CD8B, GP9, IL-9R, and PTPRC). Our analyses provide genetic evidence for low metabolic rate and longevity, accompanied by possible convergent adaptation signatures among distantly related large and long-lived birds. Finally, we identified low genetic diversity in the red-crowned crane, consistent with its listing as an endangered species, and this genome should provide a useful genetic resource for future conservation studies of this rare and iconic species.

기존의 망 이상 상태 탐지 시스템들은 주로 정상 상태의 시스템 사용률 등과 같은 통계 값으로 결정된 임계값을 기반으로 탐지하기 때문에 이상 상태임에도 불구하고 정상 상태와 비슷한 시스템 통계 값을 가지면 탐지하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 단점들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 인간면역체계의 학습, 적응, 기억 능력등의 특성을 이용하는 인공면역체계 기반의 적응적 망 이상 상태 탐지 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 인간면역 시스템의 수지상 세포 (Dendritic Cell)와 T 세포 사이의 상호 작용을 이용한 탐지 모델을 설계하고 각 구성 요소 및 기능을 정의한다. 중앙 집중 제어 노드는 각 라우터 노드로부터 전달받은 정보를 분석하여 대응 방법을 해당 라우터들에게 전달한다. 또한 라우터 노드는 학습을 통해 얻어진 데이터를 기반으로 이상 상태를 탐지할 뿐만 아니라 중앙 집중 제어 노드로부터 전달받은 정보를 이용하여 이상 상태를 처리한다. 최종적으로 제안된 이상 상태탐지 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 구성 모듈을 설계하고 flooding 공격에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행한다.

Thailand had set the National Water Management Strategy which covered main six areas in the next 12 years, i.e., by priority: (1) water for household, (2) water for agricultural and industrial production, (3) water for flood and drought management, (4) water for quality issue, (5) water from forest conservation and soil erosion protection, (6) water resources management. However due to the climate change impact, there is a question for all strategies is whether to complete this mission under future climate change. If the impact affects our target, we have to clarify how to mitigate or to adapt with it. Vulnerability assessment was conducted under the framework of ADB's (with the parameters of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity) and the assessments were classified into groups due to their different characteristic and the framework of the National Water Management Strategy, i.e., water supply (rural and urban), water for development (agriculture and others), water disasters (floods (flash, overflow), drought, water quality). The assessments identified the parameters concerned and weight factors used for each groups via expert group discussions and by using GIS mapping technology, the vulnerability maps were produced. The maps were verified with present water situation data (floods, drought, water quality). From the analysis result of this water resources management strategy, we found that 30% of all projects face the big impacts, 40% with low impact, and 30% for no impact. It is clear that water-related agencies have to carefully take care approximately 70% of future projects to meet water resources management strategy. It is recommended that additional issues should be addressed to mitigate the impact from climate risk on water resource management of the country, i.e., water resources management under new risk based on development scenarios, relationship with area-based problems, priority definition by viewpoints of risk, vulnerability (impact and occurrence probability in past and future), water management system in emergency case and water reserve system, use of information, knowledge and technology in management, network cooperation and exchange of experiences, knowledge, technique for sustainable development with mitigation and adaptation, education and communication systems in risk, new impact, and emergency-reserve system. These issues will be described and discussed.
