Many plant species have two modes of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Both modes of reproduction have often been viewed as adaptations to temporally or spatially variable environments. The plant should adjust partitioning to match changes in the estimated success of the two reproductive modes. Perennial plants showed that favorable habitats in soil nutrients or water content tend to promote clonal growth over sexual reproduction. In contrast, under high light-quantity conditions, clonal plants tend to allocate more biomass to sexual reproduction and less to clonal propagation. On the other hand, plants with chasmogamous and cleistogamous flowers provides with a greater tendency of the opportunity to ensure some seed set in any stressful environmental conditions such as low light, low soil nutrients, or low soil moisture. It is considered that vegetative reproduction has high competitive ability and is the major means to expand established population of perennial plants, whereas cleistogamous reproduction is insurance to persist in stressful sites due to being strong. Chasmogamous reproduction mainly enhances established and new population. Therefore, the functions of sexual and asexual propagules of perennial or annual plants differ from each other. These traits of propagule thus determine its success at a particular region of any environmental gradients. Eventually, if environmental resources or stress levels change in either space or time, species composition will probably also change. The reason based on which the plants differ with respect to favored reproduction modes in each environmental condition, may be involved in their specific realized niche.

This article attempts to describe and analyze the rules on the buyer's remedies for lack of conformity under PELS. It shows that such remedies under the PELS operate in a two-tier remedial scheme which is alien to both domestic and international legal systems. That is, repair and replacement take the position of primary remedy, whereas termination, price reduction and damages are secondary remedies which are available only where the primary remedies cannot be invoked. Notwithstanding its superiority, the PELS have some drawbacks in several aspects. First, the PELS seems to place its focus on the factor of cost except the other factors, for instance, the significance of the lack of conformity, when one decides whether the first tier remedies cause the seller unreasonable effort or expense. It is argued that the factors can be considered by referring to art. 1:302 PECL. Second, the PELS does not expressively provide any exclusion of the seller's right to choose between repair or replacement on the basis of unreasonable uncertainty in reimbursing the expenses advanced by the buyer. It argues that if there is such uncertainty, it should be regarded as causing the buyer an unreasonable inconvenience under art. 4:204(1). Third, the PELS does not seem to properly reflect the consumer's interests in that most consumers prefer to have the absolute right of termination as against the commercial sellers who have a relatively stronger bargaining position. The reasons for that is that there is a big hurdle, i.e., a hierarchy of remedies, to be overcome by the consumer to battle with the commercial seller, and that unavoidable vagueness in defining a minor lack of conformity has been often used against the consumer, but in favour of the commercial seller with a strong bargaining position.

This paper presents a new overall system for state-of-available-power (SoAP) prediction for a lithium-ion battery pack. The essential part of this method is based on an adaptive network architecture which utilizes both fuzzy model (FIS) and artificial neural network (ANN) into the framework of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). While battery aging proceeds, the system is capable of delivering accurate power prediction not only for room temperature, but also at lower temperatures at which power prediction is most challenging. Due to design property of ANN, the network parameters are adapted on-line to the current battery states (state-of-charge (SoC), state-of-health (SoH), temperature). SoC is required as an input parameter to SoAP module and high accuracy is crucial for a reliable on-line adaptation. Therefore, a reasonable way to determine the battery state variables is proposed applying a combination of several partly different algorithms. Among other SoC boundary estimation methods, robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) for recalibration of amp hour counters was implemented. ANFIS then achieves the SoAP estimation by means of time forward voltage prognosis (TFVP) before a power pulse occurs. The trade-off between computational cost of batch-learning and accuracy during on-line adaptation was optimized resulting in a real-time system with TFVP absolute error less than 1%. The verification was performed on a software-in-the-loop test bench setup using a 53 Ah lithium-ion cell.

본 논문은 기능점수 소프트웨어 규모에 기반하여 개발노력과 일정과의 관계를 유도하는 소프트웨어 공식을 제안하였다. 기존의 소프트웨어 공식은 라인수에 기반을 두고 있다. 라인수는 개발언어에 따라 큰 차이를 보여 소프트웨어 규모 추정에 어려움이 많이 지적되고 있다. 먼저 라인수를 기능점수로 변환하는 방법을 고려하였다. 그러나 이 방법은 개발언어별로 라인수와 기능점수간 변환비율이 명확히 결정되지 않고 있고, 또한 특정 개발언어에 대해서는 변환비율이 제시되어 있지 않아 소프트웨어 공식을 유도하는데 실패하였다. 따라서 기능점수에 기반하여 개발된 대용량의 프로젝트 데이터를 대상으로 소프트웨어 공식을 직접 유도하였다. 첫 번째로 개발 프로젝트들 중에서 타당한 개발기간이 설정된 데이터들을 분류하였다. 두 번째로, 이 데이터에 대해 회귀분석을 통해 기능점수와 개발노력, 기능점수와 개발기간과의 관계를 유도하였다. 마지막으로 이들 관계로부터 소프트웨어 공식을 유도하였다. 제안된 모델은 라인수 기반의 모델이 갖고 있는 적용상 문제점들을 해결하여 실무에 쉽게 적용이 가능한 장점을 갖고 있다.

To protect aquatic animal health of importing countries from the potential risks associated with exotic diseases introduced through international trade of live aquatic animals, inspection of designated commodities at ports of entry is a critical component of the safeguarding system. The only way to be 100% confident that no fishes in a shipment are infected with a specific agent is to test every fish in the commodity imported with a perfect diagnostic test. For the majority of cases, this is unrealistic since the group of interest may very large particularly for aquatic animals, or imperfect tests are often available. It is, therefore, more common to test a fixed proportion of a group by preplanned sampling schemes. However, decision making based on results of testing the sample can provide quite a chance that infected groups may be misclassified as uninfected, depending on sampling strategy employed. The objective of this study was to determine the possibility that one or more fishes in the group imported being infected but tests negative after inspecting samples. This question is critical to government authorities to examine whether sampling plan is sufficient to achieve the purpose intended for. At fixed population size, the maximum number of infected fishes when all tests negative was decreased as the sampling fraction increased. The probability of including at least one undetected but infected fish in a group for negative tests increased with the number of fish tested or true prevalence. The risk was much lesser where high sensitivity test was assumed; when increasing test sensitivity from 0.9 to 0.99, this risk was dramatically reduced to about a tenth or a fourth for prevalence ranges from 2 to 10%, given sample size ranges from 10 to 200. Based on the preliminary analysis, the author concluded that current sampling plan testing 4-8% of the import proposal for human consumption still can yield high false negative results. Therefore, from the quarantine inspection point of view, an enforced commodity-specific sampling design that accounts for the cost of testing with an imperfect test at the specified design prevalence is urgent.

열대피와 같은 논농사지역의 악성잡초는 국내에 유입될 경우 문제 잡초로 정착될 가능성이 높기 때문에 유입되는 초기에 방제가 될수 있도록 정확한 동정이 되어야한다. 그러나 피속 잡초는 형태적으로 연속변이가 많이 존재하여 종간 구별이 매우 어려운 잡초이다. 본 연구는 미국 NPGS에서 분양받은 열대피와 국내에서 채집한 돌피와 논피를 고등식물 표준바코드 마커 rbcL과 matK를 이용하여 바코드하고, 추가적으로 핵 DNA ITS 부위를 바코드하여 표준바코드 구간과 ITS 구간의 열대피를 동정할 수 있는 능력과 바코드 활용성을 비교하였다. 바코드 결과, rbcL은 0.36%, matK는 0.29%, ITS는 3.2%의 열대피 특이 염기서열이 조사되었고 Neighbor-joining 계통수에서 종별 유집이 뚜렷하게 나타나 표준바코드 마커와 ITS 모두 쉽고 간편하게 열대피를 국내의 돌피, 논피와 동정할 수 있었다. 특히 ITS는 분석구간은 짧지만 열대피를 국내의 논피, 돌피와 정확하게 구분해낼 수 있어서 ITS 단독으로 국내에 유입되는 열대피 동정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Protection of tropical forest affects on significant reduce of tropical hardwood supply, and softwood resources will be increasingly important for the timber security in Korea. U.S. softwood log was most favorite species for Korean softwood log importers in overall import conditions except price stablization and consistency of export policy. Reduced export volume from Pacific Northwest to Korean market has been immediately replenished by rediata pine from New Zealand and Chilean plantation. Siberian timber will hardly play major roles in Korean timber market unless budding structure. softwood plywood and softwood furniture uses are enhanced. Recent rapid rise of labor cost and reducing tariff rrate in Korea provided better opportunities for import lumber in building materials market. Dry dimension lumber was relatively profitable when processed from import U.S. soft-wood log while green lumber was favorable products processed from radiata pine log in Korean lumber market. This means U.S. softwood lumber would have better opportunity to market for '2${\times}$'4 studs when wood frame housing is introduced. On the other hand while radiata pine is competitive on temporary construction lumber such as supporter and concrete forming frame in Korea. Shortage of raw material for the new capacity of board plants in Korea will be it bottle neck. Major log export countries to Korea as U.S. New Zealand and Chile showed high trade intensity indices of composite hoard produces for Korean market. As Korea efforts to diversify import sources, and tariffs are reduced to 8% as scheduled by 1994. countries of scoring higher comparative advantages as Portugal. Brazil, Austria as well as New Zealand will have better opportunity to penetrate into promised Korean composites hoard market.

기업들의 국제물류체계는 물류비용과 시간의 절감뿐만 아니라 물류의 부가가치 창출 기능을 극대화하기 위해 급속히 발전할 전망이다. 글로벌 공급체인 운영방식인 Ro-Ro 운송은 운송시간의 정확성, 비용절감, 신속성, 안전성 향상 등에서 경쟁력이 높아 이를 활용하기 위한 전략이 급증할 것으로 전망된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한일간 교류 물동량 분석을 통해 Ro-Ro 부두 조성의 적정 수요와 규모를 추정해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한일간 Ro-Ro선의 운항속도에 근거한 운항거리를 바탕으로 1권역과 2권역으로 구분하여 부산항과의 물동량(컨테이너와 일반화물)을 분석하였다. 분석된 물동량을 바탕으로 Ro-Ro선 이용 가능성이 높은 품목의 비중을 추정한 후 한일간 Ro-Ro 부두의 이용가능 물동량을 추정하였다. 추정된 물동량을 처리하기 위해서는 2만톤급 2개 선석과 장치장 10만$m^2$ 정도가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 부산항에 Ro-Ro 전용 부두 조성을 통해 컨테이너 일변도의 항만정책을 탈피하고, 글로벌 기업들의 수요에도 대응할 수 있을 것이다.

Since large objects consume substantial resources, web proxy caching incurs a fundamental trade-off between performance (i.e., hit-ratio and latency) and overhead (i.e., resource usage), in terms of caching and relaying large objects to users. This paper investigates how and to what extent the current dedicated-server based web proxy caching scheme is affected by large file transfers in a high bandwidth campus network environment. We use a series of trace-based performance analyses and profiling of various resource components in our experimental squid proxy cache server. Large file transfers often overwhelm our cache server. This causes a bottleneck in a web network, by saturating the network bandwidth of the cache server. Due to the requests for large objects, response times required for delivery of concurrently requested small objects increase, by a factor as high as a few million, in the worst cases. We argue that this cache bandwidth bottleneck problem is due to the fundamental limitations of the current centralized web proxy caching model that scales poorly when there are a limited amount of dedicated resources. This is a serious threat to the viability of the current web proxy caching model, particularly in a high bandwidth access network, since it leads to sporadic disconnections of the downstream access network from the global web network. We propose a peer-to-peer cooperative web caching scheme to address the cache bandwidth bottleneck problem. We show that it performs the task of caching and delivery of large objects in an efficient and cost-effective manner, without generating significant overheads for participating peers.

OFDM/FH 시스템 등 고속 호핑을 요구하는 통신 시스템에서는 빠른 스위칭 속도와 낮은 위상잡음을 갖는 주파수 합성기가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기와 DH-PLL 주파수 합성기의 위상잡음과 스위칭 속도를 비교하고, OFDM/FH 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. DH-PLL 주파수 합성기는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기에 비해 회로의 복잡도와 많은 전력 소모를 갖지만, 빠른 스위칭 속도를 갖고 있다. 일정한 루프필터 대역 하에서 위상잡음과 스위칭 속도가 반비례 관계를 갖고 있는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기와는 달리 DH-PLL 주파수 합성기는 매우 빠른 스위칭 속도와 낮은 위상잡음을 동시에 얻을 수 있다. 결과적으로 동일한 호핑 속도 요구를 만족해야 하는 경우 DH-PLL 주파수 합성기는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기보다 더 빠른 스위칭 속도와 더 적은 SNS손실을 얻을 수 있어 OFDM/FH 시스템 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.
