  • We show that humans execute the postural control ingeniously by regulating the impedance properties of the musculo-skeletal system as the motor command against the alteration of the environment. Adjusting muscle activity can control the impedance properties of the musculo-skeletal system. To quantify the changes in human arm viscoelasticity on the vertical plane during interaction with the environment, we asked our subject to hold an object. By utilizing surface electromyographic(EMG) studies, we determined a relationship between the perturbation and a time-varying muscle co-activation. Our study showed when the subject lifts the object by himself the muscle stiffness increases while the torque remains the same just before the lift-off. These results suggest that the central nervous system(CNS) simultaneously controls not only the equilibrium point(EP) and the torque, but also the muscle stiffness as themotor command in posture control during the contact task.

  • Kaolin-pyrophyllite are locally abundant in the three hydrothermal areas at Yangsan-Tongnae area, Hadong-Sancheong area and Haenam area, deposits are originally composed of acidic volcanic rocks and anorthositic rocks in Hadong-Sancheong area. The clay deposits are formed in the near shallow depths environment through acid hydrothermal alteration. Hadong-Sancheong halloysite deposits are formed by alteration of anorthosite. These differences are mainly on the various country rocks, geological structure and properties of hydrothermal solutions. Country rock is mostly underlain by rhyolitic tuffaceous and anorthositic rocks and a large number of clay deposits were formed during volcanic activity through upper Cretaceous-lower Tertiary. Intrusive rocks is broadly distributed in this area and clay deposits are variable in shapelayer and funnel typed. Zonal pattern of mineral assemblage is as follows, Yangsan-Tongnae deposits-kaolinite, pyrophyllite, dumortierite, andalusite and sericite, Hadong-Sancheong-mostly halloysite, and Haenam-dickite, pyrophyllite, alunite and diaspore. The difference in the zonal pattern of altered rock is considered to depend on differences in the initial acidity of related hydrothermal solution, initial acidity was controlled by the oxygen fugacity.

  • Nowadays, it is popular to use the spread spectrum watermarking algorithm for still image. But there is high error probability of the retrieved watermark in the spread spectrum owing to the correlation between image and spreaded watermark sequence. In this paper, two methods are proposed. One is Ordering Map Method and the other is Alteration of Image. Based on pixel value, the order by which the spreaded watermark bits is embedded is created in Ordering Map Method. By the covariance function between image and the spreaded sequence, image is altered in Alteration of Image. Hence, bit error of retrieved watermark is clearly reduced to zero by this two method.

  • Method of remodeling builder selection for remodeling is competitive bidding. also metropolitan city, megalopolis city, city more than 50million have to do basic plan for remodeling before establishment of a housing cooperative. Purpose of basic plan is improvement of living conditions & the Quality of Life for resident. Technical Proposal Tendering in spite of being the a reasonable bidding system, institutional part, appraisal standard and the item part, consider procedure pard is performed in a similar way to the existing bidding system. so, technical proposal tendering is appropriate for future Method of builder selection of remodeling. therefore, the study purpose is a evaluation element of technical proposal tendering for apartment remodeling business The methods of study is understanding concept through review of precedent literature. Next, case investigation through Analysis of focal points. Lastly, evaluation element deduction of technical proposal tendering for apartment remodeling business through specialist conversation. As a result, Alteration of a right & move management is added to evaluation element's professional field. And detail item is alteration of a right & move management.

  • The pottery stone diposits of the Cheongsong area consist of abundant quartz with clay minerals such as mica/smectite interstratified mineral, tosudite, kaolinite and sericite. The occurrence and mineralogical properties of the clay minerals were investigated by X-ray diffraction method, chemical analysis, DTA and IR. The mineral transformation by hydrothermal alteration was also discussed. Tosudite occurs in the Beopsoo pottery stone deposit, it seem to be Li-beraing tosudite. Mica/smectite interstratified minerals with less than about 20% expandable layers are commonly observed in the pottery stone deposits of the area. The mica/smectite interstratified minerals tend to increase the expandable layers as the progress of alteration. The pottery stones from this area seem to be altered from rhyolite or welded tuff by hydrothermal solution.

  • This paper presents a geological remote sensing information extraction system, the aim of which is to provide practical models and powerful tools to extract geological information from remote sensing images for geological exploration applications. After reviewing and analyzing the existing methods for geological information extraction, we developed more than ten models to enhance and extract geological information, such as alteration information, linear features and special lithological characters. The system is developed based on Erdas Imagine using its programming language. It has been successfully used in the 'reat Investigation of Land and Natural Resources of China' program.

  • Certain lactic acid bacteria have anti-tumor activity, especially colon cancer. The fermented milk products containing that kind of lactic acid bacteria have to be recommended for human health as excellent health functional foods. This paper have been classified by 5 regions on the functions of lactic acid bacteria related to prevention of colon cancer. 1) Enhancing of host's immune response; Production of cytokines. 2) Binding and degradation of potential carcinogens; Binding and degradation of mutagenicity. 3) The changes of intestinal microflora and production of antitumorigenic or antimutagenic compounds; Production of azoxymethane. 4) Alteration of the metabolic activity of intestinal microflora; Decrease of harmful enzymes in intestinal tract. 5) Alteration of physicochemical conditions in the colon; Decrease of pH and bile acids contents.
