Goats (Capra hircus) are one of the oldest species of domesticated animals. Native Korean goats are a particularly interesting group, as they are indigenous to the area and were raised in the Korean peninsula almost 2,000 years ago. Although they have a small body size and produce low volumes of milk and meat, they are quite resistant to lumbar paralysis. Our study aimed to reveal the distinct genetic features and patterns of selection in native Korean goats by comparing the genomes of native Korean goat and crossbred goat populations. We sequenced the whole genome of 15 native Korean goats and 11 crossbred goats using next-generation sequencing (Illumina platform) to compare the genomes of the two populations. We found decreased nucleotide diversity in the native Korean goats compared to the crossbred goats. Genetic structural analysis demonstrated that the native Korean goat and cross-bred goat populations shared a common ancestry, but were clearly distinct. Finally, to reveal the native Korean goat's selective sweep region, selective sweep signals were identified in the native Korean goat genome using cross-population extended haplotype homozygosity (XP-EHH) and a cross-population composite likelihood ratio test (XP-CLR). As a result, we were able to identify candidate genes for recent selection, such as the CCR3 gene, which is related to lumbar paralysis resistance. Combined with future studies and recent goat genome information, this study will contribute to a thorough understanding of the native Korean goat genome.

In this study, wireless measurement technique for human motion was developed to monitor movement disorder patients during their daily life. MICA, TinyOS, and nesC, developed by UC Berkeley, were used as wireless sensor, its software platform, and programming language. The human motion data, generated by two axial accelerometer(ADXL202) was transmitted to PDA(iPaq3630) by 916Mhz short range communication chip(TR1000). It could be stored at PDA by simple Windows CE programming. To test the developed device, it was attached at human chest and the acquired data was shown as a graph during his motion of sitting, standing, and lying. The result showed that human motion could be logged without any hooking and constraints. Therefore, this device can be used to monitor patient's movement disorder and activity of daily life(ADL).

Recently, due to various environmental problems such as global warming, increases of international oil prices, exhaustion of resource, a paradigm of world automobile market is rapidly changing from conventional vehicles using internal combustion engine to eco-friendly vehicles using electric power such as EV, HEV, PHEV and FCEV. Generally, in order to measure fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of cars, chassis dynamometer tests are performed on various driving cycles before actual driving test. There are many driving cycles for performance evaluation of conventional vehicles. However, there is a lack of researches on driving cycle for EV. In this study, the urban driving cycle for performance evaluation of electric vehicles was developed. This study is composed of two parts. In the part 1, the urban driving cycle 'GUDC-EV(Gwacheon-city Urban Driving Cycle for Electric Vehicles)' was developed by using driving data, which were obtained through actual driving experiment, and statistic analysis with chronological table. In this paper part 2, in order to verify the developed driving cycle GUDC-EV, virtual EV platforms were configured and simulations were performed with actual driving data using In addition, simulation results were compared with existing driving cycles such as FTP-72, NEDC and Japan 10-15.

In this study, we have developed a fluorescence chromatographic assay for the quantification of total cholesterol in serum, which is a well-known risk predictor for cardiovascular diseases. The new assay system consists of a chromatographic strip in a cartridge, enzyme buffer containing cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and color developer AEC, and a laser fluorescence scanner. The correlation coefficient (r) between cholesterol concentration and relative fluorescence units was 0.968 in the new assay, showing a reliable linearity through the tested range of cholesterol. Recovery test and comparability with a Hitachi 747 instrument showed 106.5-94% and r = 0.939 (p<0.001), respectively. The new assay system for cholesterol was developed as a pre-POCT platform conducted in clinics since it is fast (8 min) and uses a small volume of sample ($5\;{\mu}l$), and it may be applied for on-site diagnostics to replace expensive automated biochemical analyzer.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the key technologies that make it possible to provide u-service in a ubiquitous society, however, it has disadvantages such as difficulty of managing sensor nodes and weaknesses of stability or mobility in large-scale WSNs. In order to solve these problems, 6LoWPAN that integrates with WSNs and IP networks has been studied widely. In this paper, we propose a Location Tracking Service Based on Google Map (LTSGM) system using 6LoWPAN. Since LTSGM system provides visual location information of sensor nodes through Google Map, it is possible to makes it easier than ever to manage sensor nodes in large-scale WSNs. Moreover, LTSGM can be used for various services such as applications for disaster or crime because it can trace the location of mobile nodes. Implementation of LTSGM system will be a test platform for 6LoWPAN.

In the traditional Server/Client architecture, the client connects to the known servers and gets information through web searching. However, nowadays, diverse internet devices providing services (get) working on internet easily. The update interval of the services or information provided by the devices is relatively short. And also they tend to be both a server and a client. In this situation, the way of the traditional information searching such as web searching is not appropriate. In this paper we propose a service push model, where it pushes its service profiles to all the other network devices by broadcasting them on the network. When a device connects to the network newly, it can get all service profiles in the network and it gets service profiles newly pushed by service providers in prompt. Also it can call any service among the service profiles within itself. We implemented a prototype system for the service push model on the JXTA platform based on P2P network. Also we measured the service profile pushing delay, the service discovery time, and the response time of service execution by running test applications written on the prototype system.

Recently, the use of mobile devices has increased in order to provide a variety of services, and thus there has been a surge in the number of application malicious attacks on the Android platform. To resolve the problem, the domestic financial sector has been introducing the app anti-tamper solution based on cryptographic algorithms. However, since the capacity of apps installed in smartphones continues to increase and environments with limited resources as wearables and IoTs spread, there are limitations to the processing speed of the anti-tamper solutions. In this paper, we propose a novel anti-tamper solution by using lightweight hash function LEA and LSH. We also present the test results of a simulation program that implements this method and compare the performance with anti-tamper solutions based on the previous cryptographic algorithms.

Web 2.0 and Semantic Web technology will be merged to be a next generation Web that leads presentation-oriented Web to data-centric Web. In the next generation Web, semantic processing, Web platform, and data fusion are most important technology factors. Among them, Cool URI used for data fusion can provide permanent and human readable URI and it has been already used in Blog system. However, Cool URI is not suitable to I18N environment such as Hangul and it is difficult to be adopted because several encodings are mingled in Korea Web society. In this paper, we discussed technology issues and Cool URI Web component to use Cool URI with Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI). A proposed approach provides same function regardless of encoding type and supports both file system based and CGI based methods to be easily used from other applications. Results from several test environments show the implemented Web component satisfy the design purpose.

Postural balancing in human is known to be maintained by the complex mechanism coupled with cerebellum, equilibrium organ of ear, proprioception and other various organs. We developed a Computerized Balance Evaluation and Training system(COBET system) to evaluate postural control and to rehabilitate geriatrics and disabled patient. In addition, 55 normal adult were tested to investigate the influencing factors on balancing posture. For the analysis of static postural sway, areas of the moving center of pressure were calculated under 8 different positions of subjects. And subjects were also asked to follow the visual targets on monitor for the evaluation of the dynamic postural sway. In comparison of the first and the second sets of tests, there was test-retest reliability($\textit{p}$< 0.05). The controllability of the static pmtwn sway was decreased as the ages of subjects increase. When the ages of subject are over 60, the controllability was significantly decrease4 The dynamic postural sway was significantly greater in the age groups of 7th and 8th decade than the younger groups. It is concluded that COBET system is a reliable system in the evaluation of postural sway. The COBET system is considered to be a valuable training modality for the disabled patients as well as the elderly.
