  • Dusky spinefoot, Siganus fuscescens live primarily in shore reefs with sea weeds, like around Jeju Island in Korean south sea. Therefore they are caught much by set net in the coast of Jeju Island. We carried out measurements of the dorsal aspect target strengths of Dusky spinefoot in order to study the influences of swim bladder for fishes. and have obtained some desired results though not sufficiently complete as comparison with target strengths of fishes before and after the air gas in the swim bladder of fish is taken off by an injector. The appropriate equations share the common form TS = A + 20 log L. TS = B + 20/3 log W where TS is the average dorsal aspect target strength in decibels. L is the fish total length in centimeters. W is the fish total weight in grams, and the coefficient A and B are determined by a least mean squares regression analysis. The results obtained before the air gas in the swim bladder of fish is taken off are TS = -63.16 + 20 log L TS = -50.50 + 20/3 low W and, the results obtained after the air gas in the swim bladder of fish is taken off are TS = -65.29 + 20 log L TS = -52.62 + 20/3 log W As above result, the differences of target strengths before and after the air gas is taken off from swim bladder are 2.12-2.13 dB, but the maximum difference of target strengths of both cases averaged according to the fish aspects from $-45^\circ$ to $45^\circ$ is 5.87 dB, and the average difference of them is 2.01 dB.

  • A simulation of 10 Gbps optical fiber transmission system using DCf(dispersion compensating fiber) for the dispersion compensation is performed. In order to analyze the NRZ pulse propagation in nonlinear, dispersive and lossy fiber, the split-step finite element method that is combination of finite element method and finite difference method is used. Also, we obtained the optical eye diagram and BER characteristics at the receiver of the system that is contained the optical amplifier and system noises. As a result of simulation, we obtain that the dispersion penalty is about 0.8dB after 50km transmission and the receiver sensitivities at $10^{-9}$ BER are -27.4dBm with EDFA pre-amplifier of 12dB gain and -15.6dBm without EDFA.

  • We investigate the eigenvalues of the semi-circulant preconditioned matrix for the finite difference scheme corresponding to the second-order elliptic operator with the variable coefficients given by $L_vu\;:=-{\Delta}u+a(x,\;y)u_x+b(x,\;y)u_y+d(x,\;y)u$, where a and b are continuously differentiable functions and d is a positive bounded function. The semi-circulant preconditioning operator $L_cu$ is constructed by using the leading term of $L_vu$ plus the constant reaction term such that $L_cu\;:=-{\Delta}u+d_cu$. Using the field of values arguments, we show that the eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix are clustered at some number. Some numerical evidences are also provided.

  • The application of Nd:YAG laser and irrigants to the root surface can change its surface configurations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Nd:YAG laser and irrigants on the apical seal of obturated canals. In this study, 66 single rooted teeth were randomly assigned to 4 group of 14 teeth each. 8 teeth were served us positive and negative controls. The teeth were divided into 6 groups as follows. Group A: Nd:YAG laser, 5% NaOCl + Rc-prep Group B: Nd:YAG laser, Saline Group C: 5% NaOCl + Rc-prep Group D: Saline Group E: Positive control Group F: Negative control 66 teeth were instrumented using Maillefer ProFile$^{\circledR}$ (Orifice Shapers, .04 taper, .06 taper Dentsply, Switzerland). Two of each group were selected at random, and the canal wall surfaces were examined under a SEM. 12 teeth of each group were obturated using by lateral condensation technique. Specimens were immersed in india ink for 7days, decalcified by 10% nitric acid, dehydrated by 75. 80. 85, 90, 95 and 100% alcohol in order cleared by methyl salicylate and then measured of dye penetration with stereomicroscope($\times$15 magnification) and Image Pro plus. The data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA test and Duncan's Multiple Range test. The results were as follows : 1. The mean leakage was 0.128$\pm$0.376 for group A, 0.237$\pm$0.325 for group B, 0.397$\pm$0.468 for group C, 0.586$\pm$0.402 for group D, and there were statistically significant differences between group A and group D, group B and group D. (p<0.05). 2. Group A had better sealing ability than Group C, but there was statistically no significant differences. (p>0.05). 3. Group B had better sealing ability than Group D and there was statistically significant difference. (p<0.05). 4 Group A had better sealing ability than Group B, but there was statistically no significant difference. (p>0.05). 5. Group C had better sealing ability than Group D, but there was statistically no significant difference. (p>0.05). 6.

  • A 3 dB coupler has been designed and implemented using the most commonly used double-sided FR4 boards. The coupling and the bandwidth of the coupler are enhanced with the enlarged overlapped area of the coupler. Major design parameters are plotted as a design guide and the parameters are verified by simulation and measurement. The size of the manufactured coupler is $30{\times}14mm^2$. Its measured insertion loss and phase difference are 0.6 dB and $90.5^{\circ}$ at center frequency of 2.5 GHz, respectively. The operating frequency range is 1.72 GHz to 3.08 GHz for $3.6{\pm}0.5dB$ insertion loss. The coupler has the performance similar to that of conventional Lange coupler, and implementation of the coupler is easy and cheap with wide metal width and spacing and no additional wire bonding process.

  • Six malformin B's produced by Aspergillus niger van Tiegh. were separated by HPLC. Their structures determined by the methods of amino acid analyses, mass spectrometry, and two-dimensional NMR were revealed as cyclic pentapeptides structurally related to malformin $A_1$. Both the NMR and MS/MS data suggest that the respective structures of separated malformin B's were as follows; cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Leu-L-allo-Ile for $B_{1a}$, cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Leu-L-Leu for $B_{1b}$, cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Val-L-Leu for $B_2$, cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Ile-L-Leu for $B_3$, cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Ile-L-Ile for $B_4$, and cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Val-L-Ile for $B_5$. Among the malformin B's, the structure of $B_{1b}$ was the same as that of malformin $A_3$ or C. All the malformin B's showed physiological activities in the two assay systems using corn(Zea mays L.) roots and mung bean(Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) hypercotyl segments. The malformin B's with molecular weight 529 were more effective for inducing corn root curvature than those with molecular weight 515. The difference in molecular weight of malformin B's, i.e., the retention time on HPLC, results in the polarity change of the whole malformin molecule which affects the revealation of the malformin activities. In addition, the disulfide form of the malformin B's gives the rigidity of the molecule, whereas the combination of the fourth and the fifth amino acid residues provides the optimal three-dimensional configuration to the malformin receptor of plants. Presumably, these two factors are appeared to be essential for the greatest physiological activity of malformin B's. malformin $B_{1a}$ caused the corn root curvature by 90% at a concentration of $0.25{\mu}M$. However, such differential activities with molecular weight of 529 or 515 of malformin B's were not found in the mung bean hypercotyl segment test. Maximum stimulation of mung bean hypercotyl growth was observed at $0.1{\mu}M$ concentration of malformin B's. The growth of the segments treated with $B_5$ was 154% greater than that of the control.

  • This study was conducted to suggest an appropriate jacket bodice pattern for elderly women by comparing the developed pattern with existing ready-made jacket pattern. The developed jacket bodice pattern was produced from the basic sloper in which elderly women's somatotype was fully reflected, by using the newly developed 3D pattern design system. Subjects were 6 elderly women aged from 60 to 69 who have average somatotype in their age group. This study carried out pattern analysis and self-sensory test with three ready-made jackets(national brands) and suggested a developed jacket pattern based on the results. According to the self sensory test results of ready-made jacket, wearing fitness among brands was significantly different even though those brands were same B91 size. The results of ready-made jackets' pattern analysis, size differences among patterns have influenced wearing fitness. The basic numerical formula for the jacket pattern considered elderly women's somatotype were as follows; $B/4+2{\pm}0.2{\sim}0.5$(difference of front and back), $W/4+2{\pm}0.2{\sim}0.5$(difference of front and back), H/4+2~7(ease amount), armhole depth B/4, chest width B/6+1, back width B/6+3 and back neck width B/12+0.5. According to the results of the developed jacket's appearance evaluation, it earned higher scores in silhouette and ease amount, confirming that the developed jacket is appropriate for the elderly women. Also, in the evaluation on space length, the developed jacket pattern was evaluated to allow proper space length in all around of measurement parts.

  • In normal auditory systems, the difference between the bone conduction thresholds obtained with the test ear opened and occluded in low frequency signals below 1, 000Hz is about 10~25 dB. But no difference in these thresholds suggests the presence of a lesion in the conductive mechanism. Sullivan added the differences in these thresholds at 250Hz, 500Hz and 1,000Hz and called "Occlusion Index". In oder to study the audiological significance, we have measured the occlusion index in 40 ears of normal persons, 20 ears of chronic otitis media patients and 20 ears of sensori-neural hearing impairment patients. We also measured the static compliance in 40 normal ears and observed the correlation with the occlusion index. The results are as follows: 1. Occlusion index was 33. $10\pm10.63dB$ in normal group, $3.10\pm3.03dB$ in chronic otitis media; group, $28.10\pm15.17dB$ in sensori-neural group. 2. Static compliance in normal group was $0.61\pm0.31cc$ (0.22~1.75cc) 3. Occlusion index showed inverse proportion to static compliance.

  • In this paper, we study the existence of finite order meromorphic solutions of the following non-linear difference equation fn(z) + Pd(z, f) = p1eα1z + p2eα2z + p3eα3z, where n ≥ 2 is an integer, Pd(z, f) is a difference polynomial in f of degree d ≤ n - 2 with small functions of f as its coefficients, pj (j = 1, 2, 3) are small meromorphic functions of f and αj (j = 1, 2, 3) are three distinct non-zero constants. We give the expressions of finite order meromorphic solutions of the above equation under some restrictions on αj (j = 1, 2, 3). Some examples are given to illustrate the accuracy of the conditions.
