Purpose - Numerous studies have tried to assess the role of a warranty as an explanatory instrument for product quality. While one study argued that manufacturers signal their superior quality to consumers by extending the duration of a warranty, quality is not necessarily related to warranty and a warranty for a short duration is a sign of high product quality. However, there are limitations to measuring product quality in terms of a single variable such as a warranty. Some other studies have evaluated the influence of brand power or value and price on the supposed quality of a product while the influence of warranty was found to be insignificant. Research design, data, methodology - The study analyzes the influence of brand power and the country of origin effect on consumers' perception of product quality in line with warranty and establishes a priority strategy. Especially, consumer experience has a significant influence on state of the art technology products like applied home electronics as these goods are generally quite expensive and consumers expend significant energy in purchasing them, so the associated warranty and brand can have a critical role in the decision making process. The price of the product was excluded in this discussion as it continually varies with the market share of the product. Results - The results of the analysis are as follows: First, each of the factors such as the standard of the warranty, brand power, and country of origin effect influences the degree of satisfaction of an individual. Second, the factors brand power and quality of the warranty interact both complementarily and synergistically at a time, depending on the brand power. As brand power is more significant, the degree of satisfaction is greater in case of products with low quality warranty compared to those with high quality warranty. Third, the brand power and country of origin effect present a complementary interaction. Fourth, the country of origin effect and quality of a warranty interact synergistically. Conclusions - Thus, the higher the quality of warranty, greater is the increment in the degree of satisfaction. The comprehensive study on the effect of the country of origin on the purchase decision process and the degree of satisfaction compared to the other elements shows that in case of Japanese and Korean markets the brand power of a company is desirable in sustaining the quality of warranty to the industrial average. Also, there is no significant improvement in the perceived quality of the product when the quality of the warranty is lowered. Therefore, the warranty effect diminishes when the value of the brand is known, while it perishes when both the brand power and the country of origin effect are strong enough.

전립선암의 위치는 방사선 치료도중 변하는 경우가 많으며 이는 종양선량을 낮추고 정상조직선량이 높아질 수 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 방사선 치료중에 전립선암의 위치 및 깊이 변화를 자동적으로 감지하는 시스템을 개발하고 이를 적용해 환자의 국부에 조사되는 방사선량의 변화를 최소화 하는 데 있다. 이 연구에서는 10명의 환자로부터 38장의 영상자료를 통해 수행되었으며 전립선암에 부착된 금-표지자를 이용해 종양의 질량중심을 구하고 이를 기반으로 종양의 위치변화를 감지하였다. 전립선암의 평균적인 위치변화는 좌우와 위아래로 각각 0.9 mm와 2.3 mm이었으며 최고 위치변화는 각 각 3.3 mm와 7.2 mm였다. 일상적으로 전립선암의 양성자치료에 많이 사용되는 마주보는 두 개의 양성자빔(bilateral beam configuration) 조건에서 좌우의 위치변화는 깊이 변화를 의미하며 이는 약 0.7 mm에서 3.3 mm까지 변화하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 실험결과 종양의 깊이 변화가 1 mm, 2 mm 그리고 3 mm 보다 많이 차이 나는 경우가 각각 42.1%, 26.3% 그리고 2.6%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 봤을 때 양성자치료에서 자동적으로 종양의 깊이 변화를 분석하는 것이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이를 이용한다면 종양선량을 높이고 정상조직선량을 낮추어 치료효과를 높일 수 있다.

The orbicularis oris muscle (OOM) is a very important muscle that originate from the second branchial arch and is innervated by the facial nerve. The aim of this study was to elucidate distribution types of two muscle fibers that composing OOM by using enzyme-histochemical examinations and tried to make a basis for a clinical application. The fresh frozen tissues from the superior and inferior portions of the OOM were taken from post mortem 65-year-old Korean male adult. Total five different sagittal sections were used on the midline of the philtrum, the middle portion of lower lip, the mouth corner, and each midlateral side of upper and lower mouth. We used enzyme-histochemical staining such as Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), Succinic Dehydrogenase (SDHase), reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide-Tetrazolium Reductase (NADH-TR), Adenosine Triphosphatase (ATPase) in pH 9.4, 4.6 and 4.3, and Modified Gomori Trichrome. There were about 30.24 % type 1 muscle fiber and 65.40 % type 2 muscle fiber in the midline of the philtrum (p < 0.05). Enzyme-histochemical staining is very useful and innovative method to elucidate characteristics of muscle fibers. We expect that chiloplasty and reconstruction of the lip portions for cleft lip patients, based on these results, are better to recovery function and aesthetic. However, we have some problems as an intramuscular variability and the inter-individual variation etc. Therefore we have to make progress these studies continuously to overcome these problems.

센싱, 데이터 가공, 통신이 가능한 소형의 센서 노드로 구성된 무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 환경 변화를 측정할 수 있는 유용한 수단이다. 센서 노드에서 측정된 데이터는 모든 데이터를 수집, 처리하며 사용자에게 전달하는 기능을 가진 프로세싱 센터에 전송된다. 이러한 과정은 에너지 제약을 가진 센서 노드를 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 일반적으로 인접한 센서 노드는 유사한 정보를 가지므로, 로컬 클러스터를 형성하고 클러스터 헤드에 의해 집약된 데이터를 프로세싱 센터에 전송하는 클러스터링 기법이 저전력 구동에 효과적이다. 자동 구성능력을 지닌 기존의 다중 홉 클러스터 에너지 소비량 모델링 기법은 개별 센서 노드의 정확한 에너지 소비량을 예측할 수 없는 문제를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 보완한 새로운 클러스터 에너지 소비량 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 모델링 기법은 보로노이 배열(Voronoi tessellation)을 이용하여 클러스터 헤드의 수에 따른 에너지 소비량을 모델링한다. 즉, 센서 필드의 면적, 분포된 센서 노드의 수와 통신 범위를 이용하여 전체 네트워크의 에너지 소비량을 클러스터 헤드의 수에 따라 정량적으로 나타낸다. 본 모델링 기법을 통해 전체 네트워크의 에너지 소비량이 최소가 되는 클러스터의 수를 예측함으로써 저전력을 실현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 모델링 기법은 시뮬레이션을 통해 구성한 실제 네트워크의 에너지 소비량과 $90\%$ 이상의 정확도를 가지며, 기존 모델링의 $60\%$대에 비춰볼 때 상당히 우수한 정확도를 지니고 있다. 또한, 센서 노드의 밀도가 증가할수록 에너지 소비량 정확도가 증가하는 효과를 확인하였다.

잣나무(Pinus koraiensis) 4년생의 생장특성인자와 관련이 있는 주요 대사물질을 확인하기위한 대사체 분석을 실시하였다. GC/MS로 분리한 105종을 대상으로 길이생장 및 건중량의 생장 특성과의 상관이 있는 대사물질을 분석하였다. Alanine, threonine, oleic acid 및 butanoic acids는 길이생장 및 건중량과 고도의 부의 상관관계가 있었고, 반면 malic acid, xylose, glucose, inositol 및 sucrose는 생장특성과 정의 상관관계가 있었다. 생장이 왕성한 시기에는 생장이 우수한 그룹에서 주지의 아미노산류나 유기산류 함량이 줄어드는 것으로 추정되었으며, 반면 단당류나 sucrose 같은 광합성 산물은 중위 및 하위 그룹에 비교해서 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특이하게도 박테리아나 균류에서 생성되는 d-turanose의 함량이 4년생 잣나무 묘고생장과 고도의 상관관계(r=0.896, p<0.001)가 있었으며, 이는 근균류와의 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 인자들은 잣나무 우량개체 선발을 위한 대사 표지자 개발의 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Reciprocal effects among local breeds and additive and heterosis effects were estimated for total milk production per lactation (TLP), lactation length (LL) and daily milk yield (DMY). Procedures for an optimum crossbreeding system were examined by comparing various crossbred combinations. Three data sets were chosen from the total records collected from 1962 to 1997. Data set I with a total of 5,938 records composed of 9 breed groups for reciprocal crosses, data set II with a total of 6,064 records composed of 5 breed groups for additive and heterosis effects and data set III with a total of 10,319 records composed of 42 breed groups for optimum crossbreeding system were analyzed. The least squares ANOVA was used. The reciprocal crosses between Red Sindhi and the Bangladeshi Local showed significant difference. When the Red Sindhi was used as cow, the cross was superior to the opposite in terms of the three performance traits. The results showed that additive breed effects on both TLP and DMY were positive and highly significant between Bos indicus and Bos taurus, whereas the individual heterosis effects were not significant. In general, any local breeds were improved two to three times by crossing with the Friesian once or twice. However, the effect was reduced when the grading up with the Friesian was repeated more than twice. On the other hand, when the local breed was crossed with the other breeds such as Holstein and Jersey, the improvement of TLP was less. Crossing the F1 cows with the Friesian bull gave further improvement. Almost the same trends were found also for LL and DMY. The local breeds and their crosses are raised mainly for draft animals, then it is recommended that the crossbreds between the local cows and Friesian are used for dairy purposes and more than 75% Friesian blood is used for beef.

The comet assay (also called the single-cell gel electrophoresis assay) has been widely used for detecting DNA damage and repair in individual cells. Since the conventional methods of evaluating comet assay data using frequency statistics are unsatisfactory we developed a new quantitative measure of DNA damage/repair that is based on all information residing in the dose/time-response curves of a comet experiment. Blood samples were taken from 25 breast cancer patients before undergoing radiotherapy. The comet assay was performed under alkaline conditions using isolated lymphocytes. Tail DNA, tail length, tail moment and tail inertia of the comet were measured for each patient at four doses of $\gamma$-rays (0, 2, 4 and 8 Gy) and at four time points after irradiation (0, 10, 20 and 30 min) using 100 cells each. The resulting three-dimensional dose-time response surface was modeled by multiple regression, and the second derivative, termed 2D, on dose and time was determined. A software module was programmed in SAS/AF to compute 2D values. We applied the new method successfully to data obtained from cancer patients to be assessed for their radiation sensitivity. We computed the 2D values for the four damage measures, i.e., tail moment, tail length, tail DNA and tail inertia, and examined the pairwise correlation coefficients of 2D both on the log scale and the unlogged scale. 2D values based on tail moment and tail DNA showed a high correlation and, therefore, these two damage measures can be used interchangeably as far as DNA repair is concerned. 2D values based on tail inertia have a correlation profile different from the other 2D values which may reflect different facets of DNA damage/repair. Using the dose-time response surface, other statistical models, e.g., the proportional hazards model, become applicable for data analysis. The 2D approach can be applied to all DNA repair measures, Le., tail moment, tail length, tail DNA and tail inertia, and appears to be superior to conventional evaluation methods as it integrates all data of the dose/time-response curves of a comet assay.

1.5% NaCl이 함유된 배지에 캘러스를 치상하여 방사선을 처리한 결과 무처리구보다 처리구 (30, 50 Gy)에서 캘러스 생존율 및 재분화율이 증가하여 내염성 캘러스를 선발하는데 방사선의 적용이 효과적임을 알 수 있었고, 내염성 캘러스에서 재분화된 M$_3$세대 종자에서 내염성 계통들은 모품종보다 초장, 근장 및 근수의 생육이 우수하여 이러한 계통은 내염성 연구를 위한 유용한 유전자원으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 RAPD 기술은 대조구와 내염성 캘러스에서 재분화된 계통을 구분하는데 유용한 기술임을 알 수 있었다.
