Sporangiophores (spphs) of Phycomyces blakesleeanus are positively phototropic to unilateral visible (blue) light over a range of fluence rates 10$^{-9}$ to 1 W/m$^2$. The maximal bending angle is always 70-75$\circ$ from the vertical. Many mutants with abnormal phototropism have been isolated. Complementation tests revealed that the genetic grouping is completely consistent with the phenotypic classification scheme, based on sensory responses other than those to light. The spph of the piloboloid mutant, the growth zone of which gradually ceases elongation but expands spherically, and the $\beta$-carotene-overproducing mutant show negative phototropism, in contrast to the wild type spph. We hypothesized that the phototropic orientation of spph is determined by the ratio of the maximal light fluenee rate at the proximal side to that at the distal side of the spph. Based on this hypothesis, we found that the maximal bending angle was larger in thin spphs than in thick ones, and larger in spphs containing smaller amount of $\beta$-carotene than in carotene-rich spphs. In addition to our hypothesis, gravitropic experiments revealed that the maximal bending angle of the wild type spph results from a balance among positive phototropism, negative gravitropism, and the optical properties of the spph. For further advancement of this study, we developed a mutant with a high proportion of uninucleate spores, and designed an efficient microinjection method for obtaining transformants.

The proposed method in this study is the Maximal Concept-Strength Recognition Method(MCR). In case that we don't know which database is the most suitable for automatic-classification when new database is imported, MCR method can support to select the most similar database among many databases in the legacy system. For experiments, we constructed four heterogeneous scholarly databases and measured the best performance with MCR method. In result, we retrieved the exact database expected and the precision value of MCR based automatic-classification was close to the best performance.

This study was done to find out the correlation between manual palpitation and mechanical measurement and the possibility to produce the data using chest and abdominal Front Point(募穴). Followings are the results from the present study. 1. The maximal pressure felt by the patient was 10kgf/$cm^2$. 2. The maximal deformation felt by the patient was in the range of 6cm. 3. The modulus (index obtained by the division of maximal pressure and maximal deformation) was highly correlated with manual palpitation. 4. It was useful to classify two front points in the abdomen and chest when modulus is concerned. 5. When the index of elastic modulus are big and small enough, it is said excessiveness and deficiency(虛實), respectively. Overall, this study was able to find the possibility to quantify the traditional state of excessiveness and deficiency in the form of objected data.

DNA computing has used to solve MCP (Maximal Clique Problem). However, when current DNA computing is applied to MCP. it can't efficiently express vertices and edges and it has a problem that can't look for solutions, by misusing wrong restriction enzyme. In this paper we proposed ACO (Algorithm for Code Optimization) that applies DNA coding method to DNA computing to solve MCP's problem. We applied ACO to MCP and as a result ACO could express DNA codes of variable lengths and generate codes without unnecessary vertices than Adleman's DNA computing algorithm could. In addition, compared to Adleman's DNA computing algorithm, ACO could get about four times as many as Adleman's final solutions by reducing search time and biological error rate by 15%.

MIP was significantly increased in singers, compared to the untrained group. MIP in patients showed decreasing tendency compared to the untrained group, but were significantly lower than that in singers. MEP in singers was higher than that in the untrained group. MPT increased significantly in singers, but diminished in patients compared to the untrained group. MIP, MEP, and MPT in male singers were 50.8%, 61.0%, and 28.7 % higher than those in female singers. MIP, MEP, and MPT in the untrained male were more increased 32.3%, 25.0%, and 28.7%, respectively than those in the untrained female. There was no correlation between MPT and MIP or MEP. Regression analysis of the data set showed that weight and vocal cord dysfunction was a positive predictor of MPT. Factors affecting MIP were male, singers and weight. Factors affecting MEP were male, singers, vocal cord dysfunction and weight.

Maximal Covering 문제(MCP)란 행렬 상에서 n개의 열(column) 중 p개를 선택하여 m개의 행(row)중 최대한 많은 행을 cover하는 문제로 정의된다. 본 논문에서는 MCP를 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)으로 해결하기 위해 문제에 적합하게 설계된 교차 연산자(crossover operator)와 비발현 유전인잔(unexpressed gene)를 가진 새로운 염색체 구조를 제시한다. 해결하고자 하는 대상 MCP의 규모가 매우 큰 경우 전통적인 임의교차(random crossover) 방법으로는 좋은 결과를 얻기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 그리디 교차(greedy crossover) 방법을 제시하여 문제를 해결한다. 그러나 이러한 그리디 교차를 사용하더라도 조기 수렴 등의 문제로 인해 타부 탐색 등의 이웃해 탐색 방법에 비해 그리 좋은 결과를 얻기가 힘들다. 본 논문은 이러한 조기 수렴 문제를 해결하고 다른 이웃에 탐색 방법보다 더 좋은 결과를 얻기 위해 비발현 유전인자(unexpressed gene)를 가진 염색체를 도입하여 해결함을 특징으로 한다. 비발현 유전인자는 교차 과정에서 자식 염색체의 유전인자로 전달되지 않은 정보 중 나중에라도 유용할 가능성이 보이는 정보를 보존하는 역할을 하여 조기 수렴 문제를 해결하는데 도움을 주어 보다 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있게 해준다. 대규모 MCP를 해결하는 실험에서 새로운 비발현 유전인자를 적용한 유전 알고리즘이 기존의 유전 알고리즘뿐만 아니라 다른 탐색 기법에 비해 더욱 좋은 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a short message service intervention on adherence to maximal barrier precautions (MBP) and catheter-related blood stream infections. Method: The data were collected from March to September, 2008, at an 826-bed university-affiliated hospital in Daejeon. The study participants were 24 physicians who were inserting central catheters and 133 patients (control group 78 and intervention group 55) with central catheter insertions. The researcher sent the message (adherence to MBP and optimal recommendations) to each internal medicine doctor using the short message service (SMS) for cellular phones. Messages were sent monthly for 3 months. Data were analyzed by chi-square test and t-test using SPSS 12.0 windows program. Result: Adherence to maximal barrier precautions was significantly increased from 44.9% to 69.1% (p=.006) after the SMS intervention. But changes in the rate of CRBSI (catheter related blood stream infection) between the intervention group (1.89) and the control group (4.45) were not significant (p=.323). Conclusions: The results indicate that the SMS intervention is effective in increasing the adherence to maximal barrier precautions and the SMS intervention can be recommended for utilization in infection control nursing practice.

An important problem in the transmission performance and efficiency is to find the values and the number of the cross-correlation function between two different maximal sequences. In this paper, we present the new maximal sequences which are obtained by the new decimations $d=\frac{2^{m-st-1}}{2^s-1}(2^n+2^{st+s+1}-2^{m+st+1}-1)$ from some maximal sequences. We will also find the values and the number of occurrences of each value of the cross-correlation function from the proposed decimations.

Purpose: Circumference of the chest and waist can be one of clinical indicator to reflect respiratory function in children with cerebral palsy. In this study, we compared to differences in the chest/waist circumference and maximal phonation time between children with spastic diplegia and hemiplegia. Methods: Seventeen children with spastic diplegic and hemiplegic cerebral palsy were recruited, who were matched to gender, age, height, weight, and body mass index for control of the known factors affected to respiratory function. The chest/waist circumference and were measured in each group, when children took a breath at rest and at maximal voluntary inspiration/expiration. Results: No significant differences were found in the chest and waist circumference and expansion between the two groups. However, only in the waist expansion, children with diplegic CP were significantly lower extensibility of lung, compared to the other group. In comparison of the maximal phonation time, a significant lower score was shown in children with spastic diplegic CP, compared to children with hemiplegic CP. Conclusion: Our results indicated that children with spastic diplegic CP had smaller chest wall and waist, compared to children with spastic hemiplegic CP. In addition, they showed a shorter time for sustaining phonation than spastic hemiplegic CP did. Therefore, spastic diplegic CP will be required for careful monitor regarding respiratory function in rehabilitation settings.
