Plant water status during growth is directly and indirectly associated with seed yield. The objective of the present study was to determine the genotypic differences in leaf water characteristics at an early growth stage of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] plants through the pressure-bomb technique. Measurements of water potential as well as relative water content (RWC) were made at the third leaf from the fully-expanded top leaf of eight different soybean genotypes grown for 31 to 35 days after field emergence. On the basis of the modified exponential model, pressure-volume (PV) curves were fitted well ($R^2$=0.92＊＊ to 0.99＊＊ for the curvi-linear region and R=0.67＊＊ to 0.96＊＊ for the linear region), indicating that a segmented model using PROC NLIN of SAS could be used effectively to estimate the leaf water characteristics. The regression analysis for the pressure-volume (PV) curve revealed genotypic variation in the solute potential at saturation (Ψ$_{s,sat}$ :-10.7 to -14.8 bar), solute potential at incipient plasmolysis (Ψ$_{s,ip}$ : -14.3 to -18.3 bar), RWC at incipient plasmolysis (RW $C_{ip}$ : 83.3 to 91.7%), high integrated turgor pressure from saturation to plasmolysis ( $_1$$^{b}$ : 0.39 to 0.81), and maximum volumetric modulus of elasticity ($\varepsilon$$_{max}$ : 150 to 445 bar).).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop cushion curves models and analyze the cushioning performance of multi-layered corrugated structures (MLCS) using a method based on dynamic stress-energy relationship. Methods: Cushion tests were performed for developing cushion curve models under 12 combinations of test conditions: three different combinations of drop height, material thickness, and static stress for each of four levels of energy densities between 15 and $60kJ/m^3$. Results: Dynamic stress and energy density for MLCS followed an exponential relationship. Cushion curve models were developed as a function of drop height, material thickness, and static stress for different paperboards and flute types. Generally, the differences between the shock pulse (transmitted peak acceleration) and cushion curve (position and width of belly portion) for the first drop and the averaged second to fifth drop were greater than those for polymer-based cushioning materials. Accordingly, the loss of cushioning performance of MLCS was estimated to be greater than that of polymer-based cushioning materials with the increasing number of drops. The position of the belly of the cushion curve of MLCS tends to shift upward to the left with increasing drop height, and the belly portion became narrower. However, depending on material thickness, under identical conditions, the cushion curve of MLCS showed an opposite tendency. Conclusions: The results of this study can be useful for environment-friendly and optimal packaging design as shock and vibrations are the key factors in cushioning packaging design.

Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens are closely related species that share a similar genomic background, and are both known to secrete large amounts of proteins directly into a medium. The extracellular proteomes of two strains of Bacillus subtilis and two strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were compared by 2-D gel electrophoresis during the late exponential growth phase. The relative abundance of some minor protein spots varied among the four strains of Bacillus. Over 123 spots of extracellular proteins were visualized on the gel for B. subtilis CH 97, 68 spots for B. subtilis 3-5, 230 spots for B. amyloliquefaciens CH 51, and 60 spotsfor B. amyloliquefaciens 86-1. 2D gel electrophoresis images of the four Bacillus strains showed significantly different protein profiles. Consistent with the 2D gel electrophoretic analysis, most of the B. subtilis proteins differed from the proteases secreted by the B. amyloliquefaciensstrains. Among the proteins identified from B. subtilis, approximately 50% were cytoplasmic and 30% were canonically extracellular proteins. The secreted protein profiles for B. subtilis CH 97 and B. subtilis 3-5 were quite different, as were the profiles for B. amyloliquefaciens CH 51 and 86-1. The four proteomes also differed in the major protein composition. The B. subtilis CH 97 and B. amyloliquefaciens CH 51 proteomes both contained large amounts of secreted hydrolytic enzymes. Among the four strains, B. subtilis 3-5 secreted the least number of proteins. Therefore, even closely related bacteria in terms of genomic sequences can still have significant differences in their physiology and proteome layout.

The corrosion behavior of the Inconel X-750 alloy was investigated for its potential application under a Cl₂-O₂ mixed gas flow in an Ar atmosphere. The corrosion rate was found to be negligible at temperatures up to 400℃ under a flow rate of 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 170 mL·min^-1 Ar, whereas an exponential increase was observed in the corrosion rate at temperatures greater than 500℃. The suppression of the corrosion reaction due to the presence of O₂ was verified experimentally at flow rates of 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ (4.96 g·m^-2·h^-1), 20 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 10 mL·min^-1 O₂ (2.02 g·m^-2 ·h^-1), and 10 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 20 mL·min^-1 O₂ (1.34 g·m^-2·h^-1) under a constant Ar flow rate of 170 mL·min^-1 at 600℃ for 8 h. The surface morphology analysis results revealed that porous surfaces with tunnel-type holes were produced under the Cl₂-O₂ mixed-gas condition. Furthermore, the effects of the Cl₂ flow rate on the corrosion rate were investigated, indicating that its impact was negligible within the range of 5-30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ at 600℃.

An inseparable challenge associated with every random access network is the design of an efficient Collision Resolution Algorithm (CRA), since collisions cannot be completely avoided in such network. To maximize the collision resolution efficiency of a popular CRA, namely Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB), we propose a reactive backoff algorithm. The proposed backoff algorithm is reactive in the sense that it updates the contention window based on the previously selected backoff value in the failed contention stage to avoid a typical type of collision, referred as cross-collision. Cross-collision would occur if the contention slot pointed by the currently selected backoff value appeared to be present in the overlapped portion of the adjacent (the previous and the current) windows. The proposed reactive algorithm contributes to significant performance improvements in the network since it offers a supplementary feature of Cross Collision Exclusion (XCE) and also retains the legacy collision mitigation features. We formulate a Markovian model to emulate the characteristics of the proposed algorithm. Based on the solution of the model, we then estimate the throughput and delay performances of WLAN following the signaling mechanisms of the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) considering IEEE 802.11b system parameters. We validate the accuracy of the analytical performance estimation framework by comparing the analytically obtained results with the results that we obtain from the simulation experiments performed in ns-2. Through the rigorous analysis, based on the validated model, we show that the proposed reactive cross collision exclusionary backoff algorithm significantly enhances the throughput and reduces the average packet delay in the network.

공기분리 PSA 공정설계에 적용할 물질전달계수를 구하기 위하여 흡착탑을 통과하는 질소와 산소의 농도에 대한 동적파과곡선을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 그 결과를 전산모사에 의한 파과곡선과 비교하여 벌크흐름 중의 물질전달속도를 예측하였다. 전산모사에서 흡착은 coupled Langmuir isotherm을 따른다고 보았으며, 물질전달은 LDF 모델에 의해 표현된다고 가정하였다. 실험과 이론의 비교를 통해 얻은 물질전달계수는 유속에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았으나 압력 조건에 따라 민감한 변화를 보였다. 이를 통해 물질전달저항이 거대기공 확산영역에 있음을 예측할 수 있었으며, 물질전달계수를 압력변화에 대해 지수함수의 형태로 표현하였다. 질소나 산소 단일 성분에 대해서 얻은 물질전달계수는 질소와 산소 혼합 벌크기체의 파과곡선에 적용했을 경우에도 5% 이하의 오차로 잘 일치함을 보여주었다.

데이타 및 음성 등의 통신에서 무선 통신의 비중은 날로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 무선 통신에서는 유선통신에 비해 여러 가지 자원의 제약을 받는다. 컴퓨터, PDA, 이동통신기기 등 급격히 증가하는 무선 단말기의 증가에 따른 통신량 수요를 충족하기위해 제한된 자원을 보다 효율적으로 사용해야 한다. 무선 통신에 있어 효율성이 필요한 자원중의 하나가 주파수 이다. 효율적 주파수 사용을 위한 주파수 할당 문제에 관한 연구는 현재 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 주파수 할당 문제가 NP-Complete의 어려운 문제로 실험적 연구를 통한 접근과 함께 이에 대한 이론적 이해 또한 필요하다. 주파수 할당 문제의 이론적 연구 중 셀룰러 위상구조에서의 크로마틱 대역폭 문제의 하한 값이 $O(k^2)$로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰러 위상구조에서의 크로마틱 대역폭 주파수 할당 문제의 하한 값으로 기존에 알려진 $O(k^2)$보다 향상된 하한 값 $O(k^3)$을 제시하여, 주파수 할당 문제의 보다 정확한 이론적 이해를 제시하였다.

유전 알고리즘에서 개체군은 지역 최적치에 빠질 수 있지만 긴 지속시간이 지난 후에는 여기에서 빠져나을 수 있으며 이러한 현상을 단속평형 (punctuated equilibrium)이라고 한다. 자연계나 컴퓨터 생태계 (computational ecosystems) 에서 관찰되는 단속평형은 확산 방정식 (diffusion equation)으로 잘 설명된다. 본 연구에서는 단순 유전 알고리즘을 이론적으로 분석하여 개체군의 움직임이 확산 방정식으로 표현될 수 있다는 것을 보인다. 또한 적합도 (fitness) 함수를 단위화 (unitation) 함수로 국한하면 이 분석을 더 구체화하여 유전 알고리즘의 주요 변수들이 이 방정식에 나타나도록 할 수 있다. 이 경우 확산 방정식에 대한 이론적 결과를 이용하면 지역 최적치에서 빠져 나오기까지의 지속시간이 개체군의 크기, 1/(돌연변이 확률), 그리고 지역 최적치의 깊이에 대해 지수적으로 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 이론적 결과는 이중안정 지형 (bistable landscapes)에서의 시뮬레이션 결과와 일치한다.

물-결합재비 0.4이하의 고성능 콘크리트 수축 변형을 파악하기 위해 전체 수축을 수분의 외부이동에 의한 건조수축과 수분의 내부소모에 의한 자기수축으로 분리한 후, 자기건조에 의한 상대습도 변화와 변형률의 관계를 묘사하기 위하여 계면역학적 접근법에 의한 습도-변형률 관계를 설정하였다. 이에 대한 검증을 위해 자기수축 시험체에서의 습도-수축 측정을 수행하였으며, 기존 연구 모델인 Tazawa, CEB-FIP 모델에 비하여 측정값과 가장 유사한 결과를 나타내어 본 연구에서의 자기수축모델은 자기건조에 따른 자기수축은 선형성을 나타내는 수분의 외부이동에 의한 수축과는 달리 지수적 관계를 갖는 특성과 초기재령에서의 급속한 자기수축 발현 특성을 적절히 묘사하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이 후 본 연구의 수분이동-수축 모델을 반영하여 온도, 수분이동, 변형률 해석의 다중물리 모델 해석과 모형시험체 측정을 수행한 결과 매우 유사한 값을 나타내어 본 연구를 통해 측정된 수분의 내부소모에 의한 습도와 수축변형률을 고려한 다중물리모델은 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

In modem petroleum reservoir engineering, the characterization of reservoir heterogeneities is very important to accurately understand and predict reservoir production performance. Formation evaluation for the description of reservoir is generally conducted by performing the analysis of well logging, core testing, and well testing. However, the measured data points by well logging or core testing are in general very sparse and hence reservoir properties should be interpolated and extrapolated from measured points to uncharacterized areas. In assigning the data for the unknown points, simple averaging technique is not feasible as optimum estimation method since this method does not account the spatial relationship between the data points. The main goal of this work is to develop PC-version of multi-purpose geostatistical model in which several stages are systematically proceeded. In the development of model, the simulator employs a automatic selection of semivariogram function such as exponential or spherical model with the best values of $R^2$. The simulator also implements a special algorithm for the fitting of semivariogram function to experimental sernivariogram. The special algorithm such as trial and error scheme is devised since this method is much more reliable and stable than Gauss-Newton method. The simulator has been tested under stringent conditions and found to be stable. Finally, the validity and the applicability of the developed model have been studied against some existing actual field data.
