Qualification Model of On-board Computer (OBC) for KAISTSAT-4 was developed. The OBC of KAISTASAT-4 has some improved features compared with that of KAISTSAT-3: To reduce weight and size of OBC many logics are implemented by FPGAs, and a network controller is included in OBC to access the satellite network with high speed. Also, the developed OBC has an improved tolerance against SEUs and faults. The OBC was fully tested under simulated space environment with no errors.

The epilithic algal communities on the artificial substrata (unglazed ceramic tiles) were investigated from 5th July to 24th July 1999 with two or three days intervals for elucidating the effects of the experimental acidification. They were harvested inside the mesocosm with and without the acid treatment on Togyo reservoir within the Civilian Passage Restriction Line near Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea. After the colonization of epilithic algal community, their standing crops revealed different patterns outside and inside the mesocosm. However the time lapse of 5 days was observed on the inside with acid treatment. The dominant species were different: Achnanthes minutissima was outside but Coenochloris polycocca was inside and inside with acid treatment. The differences in floral composition were also found. Achnanthes minutissima which has been the most important species in the colonization by the epilithic algal community of the mesocosm was less important at the lower pH. Coenochloris polycocca is a species well adapted to low pH.

To determine Pb level in blood, we usually .used to pull out about 5ml blood from venous vessel and this sample was digested with acids to decompose organic matter and then determined the Pb contents by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer with flame. But recent trend in quan titating Pb in small amount of sample is very much recommended in clinical chemistry specially pediatrics, and industrial hygiene and occupational health area. Authors tried to determine Pb contents in small amount blood of $25{\mu}l$ by using capillary tube method and got the possibility of determination of ng amount of Pb in $25{\mu}l$ whole blood sample without any pretreatment of sample.

In this paper, KOMPSAT-2 on-board fault and ground recovery management design is addressesed in terms of hardware and software components which provide failure detection and spacecraft safing for anomalies which threaten spacecraft survival. It also includes ground real time up-commanding operation to recover the system safely. KOMPSAT-2 spacecraft fault and recovery management is designed such that the subsequent system configuration due to system initialization is initiated and controlled by processors. This paper will show that KOMPSAT-2 has a new design feature of CPU SEU mitigation for the possible upsets in the processor CPUs as a part of on-board fault management design. Recovery management of processor switching has two different ways: gang switching and individual switching. This paper will show that the difficulties of using multiple-processor system can be managed by proper design implementation and flight operation.

This paper presents an algorithm that conducts automatic memory scrubbing operated by dedicated hardwares. The proposed algorithm is designed so that it can scrub entire memory in a given scrub period, while minimally affecting the execution of flight softwares. The scrub controller is constructed in a form of state machines, which have two execution modes - normal mode and burst mode. The deadline event generator and period tick generator are designed in a separate way to support the behavior of the scrub controller. The proposed controller is implemented in VHDL code to validate its applicability. A simple version of the controller is also applied to mass memory modules used in STSAT-3.

어떤 디바이스를 사용하던지 상관없이 언제 어디서나 콘텐츠나 데이터를 활용할 수 있다는 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅(MCC)와 N-Screen에 대한 관심이 그 어느 때보다 높다. 모바일 클라우드와 N-Screen 서비스 등 다양한 클라우드 서비스들은 개인의 삶 뿐만 아니라 기업의 일하는 방식까지도 다양한 방식으로 변화시키고 있다. 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 사용자들이 단말기 종, OS 플랫폼에 종속되지 않고 데이터 이동, 콘텐츠 활용이 가능한 서비스를 추구한다. 현재 애플, 구글 모두 자사의 플랫폼 강화, 자사 단말의 N-Screen을 위해 제한적인 모바일 클라우드를 활용하고 있지만, 미래에는 전 세계 휴대용 가입자를 고객으로 확보하려면 플랫폼 개방을 필수적일 수밖에 없을 것이다. 본 고에서는 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기반에 N-Screen 서비스 전략과 추진 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

다목적실용위성2호의 위성 본체시스템에는 지상과 연락을 담당하는 주 컴퓨터인 OBC, 위성의 자세를 제어를 위한 원격구동장치인 RDU 그리고 위성의 전원분배를 제어장치인 ECU인 3개의 동일 프로세서(386)가 탑재되어 각 담당 임무를 수행하는 분산형 구조를 갖고 있다. 각 프로세서는 EEPROM과 SRAM 데이터 메모리를 갖고 있는데 전원 리셋이 일어나면 모든 프로그램은 EEPROM에서 SRAM으로 복사되어 운영 프로그램이 실행하도록 되어 있다. 그러나 SRAM은 우주환경에서 위성체는 방사선에 노출되어 손상을 입을 때 SEU이 발생되어 정보가 왜곡되거나 상실되는 문제를 갖고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 변형된 해밍코드 기법을 이용하여 데이터를 수신하는 곳에서 에러를 검출 및 수정하는 디지털 회로 설계방법을 기술하고자 한다.

To clarify some confusions concerning identification of the Korean Peridinium species, genotypic analysis was performed with their SSU rDNA sequences. PCR was used to amplify the partial SSU rDNA of Peridinium isolates collected from three different Korean waters (Juam, Sang-sa and Togyo Reservoirs). The PCR products were allowed directly to sequence, which revealed each 942 bp of rDNA sequence. Analyses of the rDNA sequences showed that all the Korean isolates had the same genotype (100% sequence homology), and they were nearly identical to a Japanese strain of P. bipes f. occultatum (NIES 364; 99.8% sequence similarity). The sequence-based comparisons could clearly resolve P. bipes f. occultatum isolated from three different Korean waters.

Algae are sensitive to a wide range of pollutants, and are effective bioindicators in ecotoxicity assessments. Here, we evaluated the sub-lethal sensitivity of the marine dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides upon exposure to copper (Cu), lead (Pb), bisphenol A (BPA), and Aroclor 1016 (polychlorinated biphenyl, PCB). Toxic effects were assessed by observations of the reduction in cell counts and chlorophyll a levels after exposure to each toxicant. C. polykrikoides displayed dose-dependent, sigmoidal responses when exposed to the tested chemicals. $EC_{50}$-72 h values for Cu, Pb, BPA, and PCB were 12.74, 46.70, 68.15, and $1.07mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. PCB, which is an endocrine-disrupting chemical, was the most sensitive, proving its toxic effect on the dinoflagellate. This study provides baseline data on the toxic effects of commonly used heavy metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals to a marine dinoflagellate.

Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a phenolic substance present in both grapes and wines, has been reported to have certain pharmacological effects. Using an ethylacetate-phase extraction followed by a high performance liquid chromatographic analysis, the concentration of trans-resveratrol was measured in 9 red wines commercially available in Korea, including the Korean red wine (Noul). Noul red wine with a 1998 vintage had a trans-resveratrol concentration of 3.3 ㎎/l, which was rather higher than the concentrations found in other wines (0.19-2.45 ㎎/l) with the exception of the French wine, J. P. Chenet (3.39 ㎎/l). In addition, the grapes of Vitis labrusca cv. Sheridan cultivated in the Kyungsan area showed a trans-resveratrol content of 6.4 ㎎/㎏.
