Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) has been used to treat animal disease and to increase animal weight as growth promoter. However, abused usage of VAs can cause production of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment and additionally, residual of VAs in soil can be transferred into crops. Therefore, main objective of this research was to examine bioaccumulation of VAs in sprouts (red cabbage, Brassica Olearacea L. var. Capitata f. rubra and red radish, Raphanus sativus) with hydroponic method. Total of 7 VAs in 2 different classes of VAs (tetracyclcines: tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, sulfonamides: sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine, sulfamethiazole, macrolides: tylosin) were evaluated and experiment was conducted with solid phase extraction (SPE)/high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Initial spiked concentration of 7 VAs was $5mg\;L^{-1}$ and cultivation period was 8 days. Result showed that growth of sprouts was inhibited about 23-27% when VAs was introduced. Amount of bioaccumulated VAs was also differed depending on class of VAs. The highest amount of bioaccmulated VAs was tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole in each class with a concentration of 4.05, $7.73mg\;kg^{-1}$ respectively. Calculated transfer ratio of VAs into crops was also ranged 0.38-54.27%. Overall, bioaccumulation of VAs in crops can be varied depending on crop species and class of VAs. However, further research should be conducted to verify bioaccumulation of VAs in crops in the soil environment.

In this paper, the characteristics of LCL set-up parameters for the satellite load distribution are analyzed under the electrical system environment, implemented the LCL circuits and evaluated the performance and its behaviour. Recently, it is implemented the load distribution circuit by latching current limiter(LCL) rather than conventional fuse and relay for the protection of the satellite power system from a fault load. The LCL circuit is composed of the electrical components, not mechanical parts with the fuse and relay. When detected the over current on a fault load, it is activated to maintain the trip-off level for set-up time and then cut-off the load power by the active control. It is more flexible and provided a chance to reuse of the load in case of temporarily event, but the fuse and relay can't be used again after activating due to the physical disconnection. However, for implementation of LCL circuit, it should be carefully considered the behavior of the LCL circuit under the worst electrical system environment and applied it to define the set-up parameters related with over-current inhibition.

1. Paju area of Kyonggydo has received serious damages by Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu in the bushes of Castanea crenata S. et Z. since 1965. I have also found the middle parts of whole country of Korea has damaged by this wasp. 2. Bobwonri was the worst case in its damage by Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu with most prosperous parasite, Aletia flavostigma singularis Butler and Dictyoploca japonica Moore. I conclude that this is the result of the lack of beneficial insects and isolated bush formation. 3. The chestnut bush at Bunsuri was recovering from the damage of gall wasp nevertheless it was illustrated big damage at last year's hranches. I conclude that this recovering phenomena is closely related with the insect fauna of this area and this characteristic insect fauna was derived from the bush formation which reveals specific bush arrangement that can be illustrated as surrounded by another bush of Quercus acutissima Carruthers. 4. As a final conclusion, I recommend mixed bush formation of chestnut tree with Quercus species to control insect population dynamics in healthy status.

Evaluating information quality of government Web service, applying quality measurement methods for web - database was conducted. This approach intended to control the quality of information service by indicating the problems and weak points in terms of retrieval, use of easiness, and user support, and by suggesting the guidelines for improvement. There were two main results to most of the investigation. The first one indicated that web information service of eighty-two percent of domestic government sites was not good enough (less than middle score). and only eight percent of them got higher score than middle point. The second result was that user support aspect was the worst part that we need to consider future course of action for service improvement. More specific guidelines were summarized at the discussion section.

Digital fingerprinting is a contents-protection technique, where customer information is inserted into digital contents. Fingerprinted contents undergo various attacks. Especially, attackers can remove easily the inserted fingerprint by collusion attacks, because digital fingerprinting inserts slightly different codes according to the customers. Among collusion attacks, averaging attack is a simple, fast, and efficient attack. In this paper, we propose a video fingerprinting system that is robust to the averaging attack. In order to achieve code efficiency and robustness against the averaging attack, we adopt anti-collusion code (fingerprint code) from GD-PBIBD theory. When the number of users is increased, the size of fingerprint code also grows. Thus, this paper addresses a zero-based code modulation technique to embed and detect this fingerprint code efficiently. We implemented a blind video fingerprinting system based on our proposed technique and performed experiments on various colluding cases. Based on the results, we could detect most of colluders. In the worst case, our scheme could trace at least one colluder successfully.

In a modern aircraft, there are many variations in its mass, stiffness, and aerodynamic characteristics. Recently, an analytical approach was proposed, and this approach uses the idea of uncertainty to find out the most critical flight flutter boundary due to the variations in such aerodynamic characteristics. An analytical method that has been suggested to predict robust stability is the mu method. We previously analyzed the robust flutter boundary by using the mu method, and in that study, aerodynamic variations in the Mach number, atmospheric density, and flight speed were taken into consideration. The authors' previous attempt and the results are currently quoted as varying Mach number mu analysis. In the author's previous method, when the initial flight conditions were located far from the nominal flutter boundary, conservative predictions were obtained. However, relationships among those aerodynamic parameters were not applied. Thus, the varying Mach number mu analysis results required validation. Using an optimization approach, the varying Mach number mu analysis was found out to be capable of capturing a reasonable robust flutter boundary, i.e., with a low percentage difference from boundaries that were obtained by optimization. Regarding the optimization approach, a discrete nominal flutter boundary is to be obtained in advance, and based on that boundary, an interpolated function was established. Thus, the optimization approach required more computational effort for a larger number of uncertainty variables. And, this produced results similar to those from the mu method which had lower computational complexity. Thus, during the estimation of robust aeroelastic stability, the mu method was regarded as more efficient than the optimization method was. The mu method predicts reasonable results when an initial condition is located near the nominal flutter boundary, but it does not consider the relationships that are among the aerodynamic parameters, and its predictions are not very accurate when the initial condition is located far from the nominal flutter boundary. In order to provide predictions that are more accurate, the relationships among the uncertainties should also be included in the mu method.

In this paper, we propose scalable scheduling techniques based on EDF to efficiently integrate hard real-time and multimedia soft real-time tasks in the distributed real-time multimedia database system. Hard tasks are guarangteed based on worst case execution times, whereas multimedia soft tasks are served based on mean execution times. This paper describes a served-based scheme for partitioning the CPU bandwidth among different task classes that coexist in the same system. To handle the problem of class overloads characterized by varying number of tasks and varying task arrival rates, thus scheme shows how to adjust the fraction of the CPU bandwidth assigned to each class. This scheme fixes the maximum time that each hard task can execute in the period of the server, whereas it can dynamically change the bandwidth reserved to each multimedia task. The proposed method is capable of minimizing the mean tardiness of multimedia tasks, without jeopardizing the schedulability of the hard tasks. The performance of this scheduling method is compared with that of similar mechanisms through simulation experiments.

Purpose: In this study, we performed ventilation simulations for a standard isolation ward including three intensive care rooms, one anteroom(buffer room), and its recommended ventilation equipments. The purpose of this study is to predict outflow of pathogenic bacteria from patient breath to verify the reliability and the safety of the isolation ward. Methods: We suppose three scenarios of the movement of medical staff. The leakage of patient's breath to out of the ward is predicted in these scenarios using CFD simulations. Results: The patient's breath leakage rate to out of the ward in scenario 1 according to room air changes per hour(ACH : 6 and 12) is predicted to be 0.000057% and 0.00002%, respectively. The patient's breath leakage rate to out of the ward in scenario 2 according to room air changes(ACH : 6 and 12) is predicted to be 0.00063% and 0.00019%, respectively. The patient's breath leakage rate to out of the ward in scenario 3, which is the worst case(6 room air changes) is predicted to be 0.1%. Implications: Through the ventilation simulation like that in this study, the reliability and the safety on isolation performance of various plan of isolation ward are predicted quantitatively.

Korea has experienced 10 a Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide outbreaks during the last 10 years (1993-2002). The monitoring activities at National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) in Korea have been extended to all the coastal waters after the worst of fish killing by C. polykrikoides blooms in 1995. NFRDI is looking forward to finding out the feasibility of red tide detection around Korean waters using satellite remote sensing of NOAA/AVHRR, Orbview-2/SeaWiFS, IRS-P4/OCM and Terra/MODIS on real time base. In this study, we used several alternative methods including climatological analysis, spectral and optical methods which may offer a potential detection of the major species of red tide in Korean waters. The relationship between the distribution of SST and C. polykrikoides bloom areas was studied. In climatological analysis, NOAA, SeaWiFS, OCM satellite data in 20th and 26th August 2001 were chosen using the known C. polykrikoides red tide bloom area mapped by helicopter reconnaissance and ground observation. The 26th August, 2001 SeaWiFS chlorophyll a anomaly imageries against the imageries of non-occurring red tide for August 20, 2001 showed the areas C. polykrikoides occurred. The anomalies of chlorophyll a concentration from satellite data between before and after red tide outbreaks showed the similar distribution of C. polykrikoides red tide in 26th August, 2001. The distribution of the difference in SST between daytime and nighttime also showed the possibility of red tide detection. We used corrected vegetation index (CVI) to detect floating vegetation and submerged vegetation containing algal blooms. The simple result of optical absorption from C. polykrikoides showed that if we use the optical characteristics of each red tide we will be able to get the feasibility of the red tide detection.
