Arsenic is one of the most toxic environmental toxicants. More than 150 million people worldwide are exposed to arsenic through ground water contamination. It is an exclusive human carcinogen. Although the hallmarks of arsenic toxicity are skin lesions and skin cancers, arsenic can also induce cancers in the lung, liver, kidney, urinary bladder, and other internal organs. Arsenic is a non-mutagenic compound but can induce significant cytogenetic damage as measured by chromosomal aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges, and micronuclei formation in human systems. These genotoxic end points are extensively used to predict genotoxic potentials of different environmental chemicals, drugs, pesticides, and insecticides. These cytogenetic end points are also used for evaluating cancer risk. Here, by critically reviewing and analyzing the existing literature, we conclude that inorganic arsenic is a genotoxic carcinogen.

There is no agreed definition of intelligence. The ability to adapt to the environments is a kind of intelligence. Expert functionally recognize environment using their five senses, and acquire and memorize knowledge necessary for operating machines. Knowledge that they cannot acquire directly is acquired in indirect ways. The purpose of intelligence machines is applying to machines experts' knowledge acquisition process and their skills in operating machine. An agent is an autonomous process that recognizes external environment, exchanges knowledge with external machines and performs an autonomous decision-making function in order to achieve common goals. This paper describes agent application for intelligence machine.

The numerical simulation of a two-phase flow In a discrete fracture network model is presented in this paper, The purpose of this work is to consider density-driven flows induced by the density difference between hot autochthonous heavy brines and injected cold water. Mechanical consequences of high pressure waves on the fracture permeability and heat exchanges between fluids and rock matrix are neglected in this study. The finite volume method is employed to discretize spatially and the system is solved by using an IMPES(Implicit Pressure-Explicit Saturation) scheme. In order to solve the strong non-linearity of the system, the Newton-Raphson algorithm is used. The well-known Buckeley-Leverett problem is adapted to validate results calculated from the model and a relatively good agreement is obtained.

Gyeongbu high-speed railway project which comprises the construction of the new line with 417.5km between Seoul and Busan is one of the biggest national projects with approx. 20-trillion-won project cost. The construction was started in June 1992 and afterward phase I (between Seoul and Daegu) was opened in April 2004 and phase II (between Daegu and Busan, 169.5km) is scheduled for opening in the end of October 2010. It is assured that the opening of the entire sections of Gyeongbu high-speed railway will significantly increase productivity and efficiency by improving the land utilization with the promotion of personal and material exchanges induced by the reduction of travel time between regions. Especially, Gyeongbu high-speed railway will be the opportunity to boost speed-up of Korea railway.

제주도의 풍부한 바람자원과 육지에 비해 높은 SMP로 많은 풍력사업자들이 제주지역에 풍력단지를 조성하기 위해 노력을 기울이고 있다. 향후 대규모 풍력단지가 조성된다면 풍속변화에 따라 생산되는 전력의 변동은 커질 것이다. 이러한 풍력발전기의 가변성으로 인한 출력변동은 계통의 주파수와 국지적인 모선 전압의 변동을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 전력계통 신뢰도와 안정성을 위하여, 계통 운영 상황을 고려한 풍력발전기 운영이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 PSS/E를 통해 가상 계통을 구현하여 풍력발전기의 무효전력 공급 유 무에 따라 계통에 미치는 영향을 선로의 무효전력과 모선 전압 측면에서 분석하였다.

Since the 1990s, the advancement of semiconductor technology has resulted in the development of microprocessor technology, auxiliary computer technology, and application technology such as intelligent algorithms (neural network, fuzzy, etc.). These based the development of intelligent machines. An agent is autonomous software that recognizes environment, exchanges knowledge with other agents and makes decisions. We designed agent-based sensor structure. For the purpose, first, it modeled the function of an intelligent machine. Second, it designed sensory function on the agent level.

Recently, many enterprises are introducing EAI(Enterprise Application Integration) technologies for integrating heterogeneous enterprise information systems. Among EAI levels, data-level integration is relatively straightforward and most popular. However, current commercial solutions have complex functionalities and are expensive for implementing the data integration tasks. Also, they have their own proprietary architectures and have a restricted interoperability. Proposed in this paper is the development of data integration middleware for facilitating data exchanges between the heterogeneous information systems. The main feature of this middleware is a explicit mapping of meta data about the relationships between source and target data. Based on this mapping, users who do not have expertise in information technology at the small & medium enterprise can easily handle data exchange tasks between information systems.

Formulation of the far-field method for the prediction of time-mean hydrodynamic force and moment acting on a 3-D surface-piercing body in waves is reviewed. It is found that the inequality between the weight of the floating body and its buoyancy force permits the replacement of the fluid particles inside the control surface by the fluid particles outside the control surface. Under such circumstances, momentum exchanges across the control surface make the time-mean value of the time rate of the momentum of the fluid inside the control surface non-vanishing. It is a second-order quantity which is hard to calculate by the far-field method. The drift forces and moments on half-immersed ellipsoids are calculated by both the far-field method and the near-field method. The discrepancy between two numerical results is presented and discussed.

Demand of new suburban residential development and a variety of new types for housing have intensified by urban Citizens overused of poor urban residential environment. Income growth and improvement of living standards for the quality of the living environment are increasing demands of creating a more comfortable living environment. Thus, according to changes in social conditions, the development of urban area while accommodating additional development pressure adequately, particularly residential development in order to promote the efficient development of suburban areas are planned for the rational development direction. This study suggests the following improvement measures by analyzing the characteristics of the Suburban Housing Complexes built recently. In order to create a more pleasant Suburban Housing Complexes First, the accessibility of the traffic conditions, education and public facilities is good Second, the construction plans reflected needs of the consumers should be made Third, necessary facilities for activation of the urban-rural exchanges must be equipped.

이온교환 수지는 이온성 물질을 제거하는 가장 신31성 있는 단위공정일 뿐만 아니라 재사용의 측면에서 매우 경제적이다. 특히 토양화학 분야에서 지난 한세기 동한 수많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 이온교환은 연수 및 탈염공정, 특정물질의 제거 및 회수, 토양을 통한 이온성 물질의 이동에서 널리 이용되고 있다. 이온의 선택도는 이온의 수화반경과 용액의 농도, 이온의 원자가에 따라 좌우된다. 본 연구는 양이온 평형실험과 칼럼실험을 통해 이온사이의 선택도 순서와 바탕음이온에 따른 특성을 조사하였다. 이 실험의 결과에서 양이온의 선택성의 농도가 낮을수록, 이온의 원자가가 높을수록 증가하였다. 평형실험의 양이온 선택도 순서는 H/sup +/< K/sup +/< Cu/sup 2+/ < Co/sup 2+/ < Ca/sup 2+/ < Ce/sup 3+/ 이며, 양이온 칼럼 순서도 동일함을 알 수 있다.
