Precision location and positioning of Asset within a network is an attractive feature with various applications, especially in indoor environments. Such a demand is met by the standard task group, IEEE 802.15.4a. Several methods, that is, pulse, chirp and chaotic communications have been proposed so far to satisfy the requirements of the standard. Among them, ultra wideband direct chaotic communications has advantageous features such as low hardware complexity, low cost, lower power consumption and flexible frequency band plan. In this paper, the feasibility of the ranging system using non-coherent chaotic transceiver is investigated by designing and implementing the system and the performance is proved by conducting location experiments in real indoor environments.

This paper presents a time-domain based asynchronous IR-UWB ranging system. This system accomplishes the ranging by detecting peaks from the outputs of a correlator implemented by a FIR filter. To discriminate the peaks due to a signal component, we use windowing for the correlated data within which the data are sorted in amplitude-ascending order and the noise level is calculated. Comparing with the recently presented frequency-domain based ranging system, we show the system structure and explain how it operates for ranging. Moreover, through the simulations, the proposed system is compared with the frequency-domain based system in terms of performance.

$TiO_2$ is a wide band-gap semiconductor (3.4 eV) and can only absorb about 5% of sun light. in the ultraviolet light region, which largely limits its practical applications because of the lower utility of sun light and quantum yield. In order to move the absorption edge of $TiO_2$ films to visible spectrum range, we have made the impurity level within a band-gap of $TiO_2$ thin film by introduction of oxygen vacancy. Oxygen-defected $TiO_2$ thin film have prepared by reactive sputtering with the partial pressure of Ar:$O_2$=10:90~99.33:0.66 ratio. As a result, we could have the impurity level of about 2.75 eV on condition that oxygen partial pressure is below 7%.

Objectives: This study was to report the effect of Hyeolbuchukyeo-tang(HC) on complications of post-hysterectomy. Methods: Three women who were undertaken a hysterectomy within a month were enrolled in this study. They complained of abdominal pain, lumbago, bladder pain, tinnitus, both leg pain, headache, etc. And received oriental treatments to decrease pain and improve the symptoms. They took Hyeolbuchukyeo-tang 3 times a day. Results: A hysterectomy can lead to complications. They complained of various symptoms. After the treatment, abdominal pain, bladder pain, both leg pain, headache were rapidly decreased and lumbago, tinnitus were improved too. Conclusions: These clinical cases indicated that Hyeolbuchukyeo-tang was effective in the treatment of women who undertaken a hysterectomy.

The present study was based on the specimens collected from the Yellow Sea between Sept. 17 and Oct. 2, 1992 within the framework of Korea-China Yellow Sea Research Joint Program. Additional materials were also provided from the benthic samples collected from the tidal mud flats surrounding Inchon, Korea and from the subtidal shallow waters of the Kwang-yang Bay in the southern coast of Korea. Paraonid polychaetes have not been previously reported form Korea waters. Here, a total of six species in two genera are described and illustrated, and they are newly recorded in Korea polychaetous fauna : Cirrophorus furcatus, Cirrophorus armatus, Cirrophorus branchiatus, Aricidea (Aedicira) pacifica, Aricidea (Aricidea) wassi, adn Aficidea (Acesta) assimilis.

Ad-Hoc VoIP system is an important IP phone technique used in MANET networks. In small-scale networks, VoIP system could be built easily while keeping the Qos on a acceptable level. Although Ad-Hoc VoIP system is designed as 'Client-Server' model, due to the property of MANETs that no Base Stations working as servers, we have the SIP Server with promary funtions worked on mobile terminals instead. In this paper, we explored how to build VoIP systems in MANETs and achieved the construction from within linux.

Annual collective dose within 50 miles radius of Ko-ri I reactor site due to normal airborne effluent discharges in 1979 has been estimated by AIRDOS-EPA computer code. Gaussian plume equation is used for estimation of both horizontal and vertical dispersion of radionuclide release into the atmosphere. Also, radionuclide concentrations in meat, milk, and fresh produce consumed by near-by population are estimated by coupling the output of the atmospheric transport models with the USNRC terrestrial food chain models. Annual collective doses are found to be $3.348{\times}10^{-1}$ whole body manrem and 84.95 thyroid manrem. Whole body manrem calculated by AIRDOS-EPA computer code do not differ greatly from that calculated by GASPAR computer code, but value for thyroid manrem have been estimated lower than that calculated by GASPAR computer code.

A fluorescent microsphere-based immunochromatographic strip test (FICT) was developed for the rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) antibodies at the pen-side. The assay was based on the formation of a sandwich immune-complex (anti-pig IgG-PRRSV antibodies-NSP7/N), which was validated by a comparison with IDEXX-ELISA using 3325 clinical specimens. The diagnostic specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of FICT were 97.28, 93.41, and 94.95%, respectively. FICT showed a good correlation with the virus neutralization assay. Overall, a promising pen-side diagnostic tool was developed for the rapid and quantitative detection of PRRSV antibodies within 15 min.

Chlorophyll a (chl a) has been used as an indicator for phytoplankton biomass in pelagic ecosystems due to the relative ease of measurement and selectivity for autotrophs in mixed plankton assemblages. However, the use of chi a as an indicator for phytoplankton biomass is restricted due to its inability to resolve taxonomic differences of phytoplankton and the highly variable relationship of chi a with phytoplankton. Here, we describe the analysis of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) photosynthetic pigment data using CHEMTAX, which is a matrix factorization program that uses chemical taxonomic indices (phytoplankton carotenoids) to quantify the abundance of phytoplankton groups. Compared to direct microscopic counting that can distinguish species within broad groups, the resolution of taxonomic groups by CHEMTAX is generally coarse. It can only distinguish between diatoms, dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, cyanobacteria, chlorophytes, prasinophytes, and haptophytes. However, CHEMTAX analysis is much faster and less expensive than microscopic counting methods. HPLC pigment observations were taken in the spring, summer, fall, and winter in$ 2005\sim2006$ within Gamak Bay, South Korea. CHEMTAX results revealed that diatoms were the dominant taxonomic group in Gamak Bay. In inner Gamak Bay, the ratio between diatoms and cryptophytes was $75\sim80%$, and the ratio between dinoflagellates and cryptophytes was $10\sim15%$. In outer Gamak Bay, the ratio between diatoms and cryptophytes was $85\sim90%$, and the ratio between dinflagellates and cryptophytes was only $1\sim5%$. The population structure was seasonal. Relative diatom populations were less in the summer than the winter season.

In this paper, a method called bilateral diagonal 2DLDA is proposed for face recognition. Two methods called Dia2DPCA and Dia2DLDA were suggested to reserve the correlations between the variations in the rows and columns of diagonal images. However, these methods work in the row direction of these images. A row-directional projection matrix can be obtained by calculating the between-class and within-class covariance matrices making an allowance for the column variation of alternative diagonal face images. In addition, column-directional projection matrix can be obtained by calculating the between-class and within-class covariance matrices making an allowance for the row variation in diagonal images. A bilateral projection scheme was applied using left and right multiplying projection matrices. As a result, the dimension of the feature matrix and computation time can be reduced. Experiments carried out on an ORL face database show that the proposed method with three different distance measures, namely, Frobenius, Yang and AMD, is more accurate than some methods, such as 2DPCA, B2DPCA, 2DLDA, etc.
