A suitable supply of mineral elements into shoot via a root system from growth media makes plants favorable growth and yield. The shortage or surplus of minerals directly affects overall physiological reactions to plants and, especially, strongly influences carbohydrate metabolism as a primary response. We have studied mineral uptake and synthesis and translocation of soluble carbohydrates in N, P or K-deficient tomato plants, and examined the interaction between soluble carbohydrates and mineral elements. Four-weeks-old tomato plants were grown in a hydroponic growth container adjusted with suboptimal N ($0.5mmol\;L^{-1}\;Ca(NO_3)2{\cdot}4H_2O$ and $0.5mmol\;L^{-1}\;KNO_3$), P ($0.05mmol\;L^{-1}\;KH_2PO_4$), and K ($0.5mmol\;L^{-1}\;KNO_3$) for 30 days. The deficiency of specific mineral element led to a significant decrease in its concentration and affected the concentration of other elements with increasing treatment period. The appearance of the reduction, however, differed slightly between elements. The ratios of N uptake of each treatment to that in NPK sufficient tomato shoots were 4 (N deficient), 50 (P deficient), and 50% (K deficient). The P uptake ratios were 21 (N deficient), 19 (P deficient), and 28% (K deficient) and K uptake ratios were 11 (N deficient), 46 (P deficient), and 7% (K deficient). The deficiency of mineral elements also influenced on carbohydrate metabolism; soluble sugar and starch was substantially enhanced, especially in N or K deficiency. In conclusion, mineral deficiency leads to an adverse carbohydrate metabolism such as immoderate accumulation and restricted translocation as well as reduced mineral uptake and thus results in the reduced plant growth.

본 논문에서는 DS/CDMA 시스템에서 적응 배열 안테나에 부귀환 직교 다중 사용자 검출기를 결합한 준 최적 수신기에 관한 성능을 분석하였다. 적응 배열 안테나는 빔 형성 기법을 사용하여 사용자 신호 방향으로는 빔을 형성하고 다른 방향의 사용자 신호로는 널(null)빔을 형성하여 공간적으로 간섭을 제거할 수 있다. 그러나 유사한 방향에서 입사하는 사용자들 간에 대해서는 기존의 적응 배열 안테나만으로는 간섭을 제거할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 적응 배열 안테나에 부귀환 직교 다중 사용자 검출기(ODFD)를 결합함으로 써 적응 배열 안테나에서 제거할 수 없었던 유사한 입사각을 갖는 사용자들에 대한 간섭을 제거할 수 있는 수신기의 성능을 비교하여 분석하였다. 또한, 부귀환 역상관 다중사용자 검출기(DDFD)를 채택하였을 경우와도 비교하여 부귀환 직교 다중사용자 검출기를 사용함으로써 성능은 유사한 반면 복잡도를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

PCM(Pulse Code Modulation) 파형은 펄스에 특정 code를 실어 보내는 형태로 추적에 적합한 특성을 가진다. 특히 단일 펄스의 송수신만으로 표적의 탐지 및 추적이 가능하므로, 여러 임무를 수행해야 하는 다기능 레이다(MFR: Multi-Function Radar)에서는 시간 측면에서 효율적이다. 하지만 PCM 파형은 모호성 함수(ambiguity function) 의 특성으로 인해 표적을 탐지하고, 거리와 속도 정보를 얻기 위해서 도플러 필터 뱅크(Doppler filter bank)가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 계산량과 하드웨어 측면에서 한계가 있는 도플러 필터 뱅크를 사용하는 대신, ML(Maximum Likelihood) 기반의 도플러 추정 방법을 고안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 폐형(closed form) 수식의 suboptimal 방법으로 적은 계산량으로 정확한 도플러 주파수를 추정할 수 있고, 이를 기반으로 표적의 탐지에 적용할 수 있다.

Objective : The purpose of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness of Gamma Knife radiosurgery(GKS) as a treatment of craniopharyngioma and to investigate the proper dose planning technique in GKS for craniopharyngioma. Method : Between May 1992 and March 1999, seven Gamma Knife radiosurgical procedures were done for residual tumor mass of 6 patients with craniopharyngioma after microsurgical resection. Conventional radiation therapy was not performed. In this study, their clinical, radiological and radiosurgical data were analyzed and the radiation dosage to the optic pathway, hypothalamus, pituitary stalk, and cavernous sinus were calculated and correlation with clinical outcome was evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 33.5 months(12.3-55.2 months). Result : The mean tumor volume was 4.4cc(0.4-18.0cc) and the maximum radiation dose ranged from 14 to 32 Gy(mean 20.9Gy). The radiation was given with isodose curve, 50-90% and the marginal dose varied within 8-22.4Gy(mean 12.7Gy). The mean number of isocenter was 4.3(1-12). The tumor was well controlled in all cases. In 5 of 7 cases, the size of tumor decreased to 10-50% of pre-GKS volume and remaining two showed no volume change. The mean dose to optic pathway was 5.7Gy(5.1-11.2Gy) and there were no complications. Conclusion : GKS seems to be effective for control of craniopharyngioma as an adjuvant treatment after microsurgical resection and even suboptimal dose for tumor margin is considered to be enough for tumor control. It is safe with careful dose planning to protect surrounding important structures, especially optic pathway. We believe conventional radiation therapy should be avoided because it has limitation for dose planning of additional treatments such as radiosurgery or intracystic instillation of radioisotope in case of recurrence.

Background: A colorectal cancer screening program was piloted in two districts of Kedah in 2013. There is scarcity of information on colorectal cancer screening in Malaysia. Objective: Thus, this research was conducted to evaluate the colorectal cancer screening program in the districts to provide insights intop its efficacy. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted using data on the colorectal cancer screening program in 2013 involving Kota Setar and Kuala Muda districts in Malaysia. We determined the response rate of immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT), colonoscopy compliance, and detection rates of neoplasia and carcinoma. We also compared the response of FOBT by demographic background. Results: The response rate of FOBT for first iFOBT screening was 94.7% while the second iFOBT screening was 90.7%. Participants from Kuala Muda district were 27 times more likely to default while Indians had a 3 times higher risk of default compared to Malays. The colonoscopy compliance was suboptimal among those with positive iFOBT. The most common finding from colonoscopy was hemorrhoids, followed by tubular adenoma. Detection rate of carcinoma and neoplasia for our program was 1.2%. Conclusions: In summary, the response rate of iFOBT was encouraging but the colonoscopy compliance was suboptimal which led to a considerably low detection rate.

To explore the feeding ecology of the newly described heterotrophic dinoflagellate Aduncodinium glandula in the family Pfiesteriaceae, its feeding behavior and prey species were investigated. Additionally, the growth and ingestion rates of A. glandula on the mixotrophic dinoflagellates Heterocapsa triquetra and Akashiwo sanguinea, its optimal and suboptimal prey, respectively were measured. A. glandula fed on prey through a peduncle after anchoring to the prey using a tow filament. A. glandula ate all algal prey and perch blood cells tested and had the most diverse prey species in the family Pfiesteriaceae. Unlike for other pfiesteriacean species, H. triquetra and A. sanguinea support the positive growth of A. glandula. However, the cryptophytes Rhodomonas salina and Teleaulax sp. and the phototrophic dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae did not support the positive growth of A. glandula. Thus, A. glandula may have a unique kind of prey and its optimal prey differs from that of the other pfiesteriacean dinoflagellates. With increasing mean prey concentration, the growth rates of A. glandula on H. triquetra and A. sanguinea increased rapidly and then slowed or became saturated. The maximum growth rates when feeding on H. triquetra and A. sanguinea were 1.004 and 0.567 d⁻¹, respectively. Further, the maximum ingestion rates of A. glandula on H. triquetra and A. sanguinea were 0.75 and 1.38 ng C predator⁻¹ d⁻¹, respectively. There is no other pfiesteriacean species having H. triquetra and A. sanguinea as optimal and suboptimal prey. Thus, A. glandula may be abundant during blooms dominated by these species not preferred by the other pfiesteriacean dinoflagellates.

Lactating women have an increased need of folate in the breastfeeding period and, as a consequence, may be in risk of folate deficiency. Folate content of breast milk, furthermore, is important for infants to support exponential growth. However, little is known about the folate content of breast milk from Korean lactating women and their folate nutritional status. In this study, therefore, we investigated the folate status of Korean lactating women and the folate content of their breast milk during extended lactation. A total of 10 subjects who delivered full-term infants participated this study voluntarily. Dietary folate intakes were measured and blood and breast milk were collected at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postpartum. The women who did not take folic acid supplements failed to meet the recommended intake(RI) of folate for lactating women during all the study periods but those who did met the RI. The unsupplemented women showed lower plasma folate concentrations compared to the supplemented women and all the women were in suboptimal folate status determined by plasma folate concentration throughout the study periods. But the supplemented women showed lower prevalence of suboptimal folate status only at 3 or 6 months postpartum. Plasma folate concentrations of both groups decreased with the progression of lactation. Erythrocyte folate concentrations were not different between the two groups, however, that of the unsupplemented reduced further as time progressed. Plasma homocysteine levels were not different between the two groups. Concentrations of erythrocyte folate and plasma homocysteine were not changed throughout the study periods. Folate contents of their breast milk through the study periods were not different between the two groups and it decreased as lactation progressed in both groups. The results of this study suggest that the folate nutritional status of Korean lactating women might be deteriorated with the progression of lactation without folic acid supplements.

매체공유기반 통신 시스템은 매체접근제어 과정에서 단말기의 채별 점유 제약 조건에 따라 크게 완전매체공유 시스템과 불완전매체 공유 시스템으로 구분할 수 있다 본 논문은 불완전매체공유 시스템의 매체접근제어기법의 개발을 위해 채널할당기법을 다루었다. 최적 채널할당기법은 채널할당 문제를 다중항목흐름(multi-commodity flow) 최대화 문제로 간주하고 선형 프로그래밍 문제를 유도하여 전역 최적해를 구한다. 또한 연산 복잡도를 낮추기 위한 대안으로 준최적 채널할당기법을 제안한다. 이 방식은 2단 iSLIP 채널할당기법과 순차적(sequential) 채널할당기법으로 구분하여 제안한다. 모의실험 결과 순차적 채널할당기법이 2단 iSLIP 채널할당기법 비해 상대적으로 낮은 연산 복잡도와 우월한 성능을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.
