It has been known that endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum) is beneficial to tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix Scop.) because the mutualistic endophyte is able to confers tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses to tall fescue. However, this fungal endophyte produces toxic alkaloid resulting in negative effects on animal performance. Recently, Non-toxic endophyte have been developed and inserted into tall fescue to avoid detrimental effect on animal but remaining positive influence on tall fescue. In order to keep this beneficial impact, it is essential to have endophyte infected tall fescue through vertical transmission from maternal plants to seeds. Little research has been carried out on endophyte transmission. To get basic information related to endophyte transmission, experiment was conducted to examine the effect of plant genotype on endophyte transmission under water stresses. Overall endophyte concentration in seeds was higher than that in panicles and endophyte concentration in seeds and panicles relied on plant. This study revealed that drought is not a critical component to control the endophyte transmission from maternal plants to seeds. Plant genotype is an important factor controlling the endophyte transmission from plant to seed.

The interaction between incident waves and a floating rectangular breakwater with the vertical porous side plates has been investigated in the context of the two-dimensional linear potential theory. The matched eigenfunction expansion method(MEEM) for multiple domains is applied to obtain the analytic solutions. The dependence of the transmitted coefficients and motion responses on the design parameters, such as porosity and protruding depth of side plates, is systematically analyzed. It is found that the non-dimensional wavelength where the sudden drop of transmission coefficients occurs, corresponds to the heave resonant frequency obtained from Ruol et al. (2013) for $\pi$-type floating breakwater. It is concluded that both properly selected porosity and deeper protruding depth of side plates are helpful in reducing the transmission coefficients and also extending the wider applicable extent of incident wavelength for performance enhancement.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field in terms of severe channel environments such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of the image transmission using vertical sensor array instead of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation diagram, and received image quality.

본 논문에서는 수중 수직통신채널 환경에서 Alamouti를 이용한 MIMO-OFDM 방식을 분석하였다. 수중 수직통신채널은 수중환경에 적합한 전달손실과 다중경로손실 등을 고려해야 해서 수중통신에서 통신 성능과 효율을 향상할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문은 각 손실을 고려한 실질적인 모의 수중통신 환경을 구현하기 위해, 오차를 유발하는 환경에서 다중경로 손실, 전달손실, 도플러확산을 고려하여 모델링하였고, 모델링된 임펄스응답에 대한 채널 다중경로 프로파일을 Alamouti STBC 방식의 MIMO-OFDM 시스템을 통하여 시뮬레이션 했다. 본 논문에서 제안한 수중 수직통신채널에서 모델링한 Alamouti STBC 방식의 MIMO-OFDM 시스템 2Tx-2Rx 방식이 2Tx-1Rx 방식에 비하여 $10^{-3}$ BER 기점을 기준으로 약 3~5 dB 가량의 이득을 얻었다.

최근 무선 인터넷 및 WLAN이 활성화되면서 3G 이동 통신망과 WLAN망의 연동으로 보다 넓은 서비스 영역에서 높은 데이터 전송 속도를 제공하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 3G와 WLAN 연동망에서 이동 단말이 서로 다른 망으로 이동할 경우 높은 데이터 전송을 제공하기 위해서 끊김 없는 vertical handoff를 수행한다. 이동 단말이 TCP 연결 상태에서 vertical handoff를 수행하여 대역폭이 다른 망으로 이동할 경우 기존의 TCP 정보를 그대로 이용하면 3G와 WLAN 망간의 서로 다른 대역폭으로 인하여 패킷 손실이 발생하고 이로 인하여 TCP 성능이 낮아지게 된다. 본 논문은 vertical handoff를 통해 새로운 망으로 이동하였을 경우 사용 가능한 대역폭을 측정하여 TCP에 적용함으로써 TCP의 성능향상을 위한 새로운 혼잡제어 알고리즘을 제안하였고, ns-2 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존에 제안되었던 알고리즘보다 vertical handoff 시 TCP 성능이 향상됨을 보였다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the vertical stress properties in sandy soil according to changes of foundation condition in soil bin compacted three layers. The following conclusions and comparisons have been made based on careful analysis from theoretical and experimental methods. : When sandy soil subjected to circular uniform load, the vertical stress increments ($\Delta\sigma_z$) was increased as load increasing, the maximum values of $\Delta\sigma_z$ was achieved at the point loading axis, and $\Delta\sigma_z$ was not shown over at a distance of three times of loading plate width (B). The vertical stress increments were achieved largely at 80 % relative compaction (Rc) compared to 95 % relative compaction due to stress concentration in sandy soil. When sandy soil subjected to circular uniform load, the $\Delta\sigma_z$ differences between theoretical and experimental values as load increased were more increased and its maximum differences were achieved at stress axis. When gravel surface macadamized over sandy soil subjected to load, the $\Delta\sigma_z$ was concentrated to load axis as load increasing, so that macadamization will be decreased load transmission.

Vertical handoff is the process of maintaining a mobile user's active connections in the heterogeneous network. In vertical handoff, many frames can be lost since the connection between a server and a client is broken off during handoff latency. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an effective video streaming method for video on demand (VOD) services that provides seamless playout at the client in vertical handoff. Performance evaluations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Objectives: Despite severe oligospermia, males with Y chromosome microdeletion can achieve conception through ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). However, ICSI may not only result in the transmission of microdeletions but also the expansion of deletion to the offspring. The purpose of this study was to screen vertical transmission, expansion of microdeletions and de novo deletion in male fetuses conceived by ICSI. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 ICSI treated patients with their 33 (a case of twin) male fetuses conceived by ICSI were used to make this study group. Sequence-tagged sites (STSs)-based PCR analyses were performed on genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood of fathers and from the amniocytes of male fetuses. Ten primer pairs namely, sY134, sY138, MK5, sY152, sY147, sY254, sY255, SPGY1, sY269 and sY158 were used. The samples with deletions were verified at least three times. Results: We detected a frequency of 12.5% (4 of the 32 patients) of microdeletions in ICSI patients. In 4 patients with detected deletions, two patients have proven deletions on single STS marker and their male fetuses have the identical deletion in this region. Another two patients have two and three deletions, but their male fetuses have more than 3 deletions which include deletions to their father's. Meanwhile, seven male fetuses, whose fathers were analyzed to have all 10 STS markers present, have deletions present in at least one or more of the markers. Conclusions: Although the majority of deletions on the Y chromosome are believed to arise de novo, in some cases a deletion has been transmitted from the fertile father to the infertile patient. In other cases the deletion was transmitted through ICSI treatment, it is likely that one sperm cell is injected through the oocyte's cytoplasm and fertilization can be obtained from spermatozoa. Our tests for deletion were determined by PCR and our results show that the ICSI treatment may lead to vertical transmission, expansion and de novo Y chromosome microdeletions in male fetuses. Because the sample group was relatively small, one should be cautious in analyzing these data. However, it is important to counsel infertile couples contemplating ICSI if the male carries Y chromosomal microdeletions.

수직적 핸드오프는 전송대역, 전송지연시간, 전파영역이 다양한 무선망들이 중첩되어 있는 환경에서의 새로운 형식의 핸드오프이다. 수직적 핸드오프를 통하여, 무선 단말은 최적의 전송대역을 제공하는 무선망을 선택할 수 있다. 그러나 TCP 전송률 관점에서는 이러한 수직적 핸드오프가 항상 향상된 성능을 제공하는 것은 아니며, 낮은 전송대역을 제공하는 무선망에 머무르는 것이, 높은 전송대역을 선택하여 이동하는 것보다 더 좋은 성능을 보이기도 한다. 본 논문에서는, 수직적 핸드오프 환경에서의 TCP 전송률을 예측하며, 예측된 TCP 전송률에 기반하여 최적의 TCP 전송률을 제공할 수 있는 수직적 핸드오프 결정 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 시뮬레이션 연구를 통하여 검증하였다.
