This paper proposes an algorithm for the robust transmission of video in error Prone environment using multiple description codingby optimal split of DCT coefficients and rate-distortionoptimization framework. In MDC, a source signal is split Into several coded streams, which is called descriptions, and each description is transmitted to the decoder through different channel. Between descriptions, structured correlations are introduced at the encoder, and the decoder exploits this correlation to reconstruct the original signal even if some descriptions are missing. It has been shown that the MDC is more resilient than the singe description coding(SDC) against severe packet loss ratecondition. But the excessive redundancy in MDC, i.e., the correlation between the descriptions, degrades the RD performance under low PLR condition. To overcome this Problem of MDC, we propose a hybrid MDC method that controls the SDC/MDC switching according to channel condition. For example, the SDC is used for coding efficiency at low PLR condition and the MDC is used for the error resilience at high PLR condition. To control the SDC/MDC switching in the optimal way, RD optimization framework are used. Lagrange optimization technique minimizes the RD-based cost function, D+M, where R is the actually coded bit rate and D is the estimated distortion. The recursive optimal pet-pixel estimatetechnique is adopted to estimate accurate the decoder distortion. Experimental results show that the proposed optimal split of DCT coefficients and SD/MD switching algorithm is more effective than the conventional MU algorithms in low PLR conditions as well as In high PLR condition.

This study was conducted to research on the observing state of Korean traditional holidays and the traditional foods related to those days through the questionnaires completed by 578 housewives who live in Kangreung, Daejeon, Jeonju, and Daegu area. For data processing, SAS program was employed, and all data was analyzed by frequency, percentage, and $x^2-square$. The results are as follows; 1. In observing the traditional holidays, more than 90% of housewives who answered the inquiry keep up SEOLNAL, DAEBOREUM, and CHUSEOK, whithout regarding regions. There are larger number of people who keep up IPCHUN, JUNGWHAJEAL, and DANOH in Kangreung and SAMBOK in Daegu than that of other regions (p<.001). Compared to general circumstances, CHOPAIL is more commonly celebrated by older class as well as lower educated class (p<.001) Also, the consequence shows that Buddhists observe IPCHUN, SAMJITANL, CHOPAIL, DANOH, SAMBOK, and DONGJI more commonly compared with other classes (p<.001), IPCHUN, SAMJITNAL, (p<.01). DAEBOREUM, YUDU, SAMBOK, JUNGYANGJEOL, OHIL, and DONGJI (p<.001) are celebrated more generally among extended. 2. On inheritance of the traditional holidays, most of the housewives answered that the SEOLNAL, DAEBOREUM, CHUSSEOK, and DONGJI are to be inherited. Compared to general circumstance CHOPAIL is suggested to be inherited by older people (p<.001). The IPCHUN, CHOPAIL, SAMBOK (p<.001), and DANCH (p<.01) are suggested by Buddhists that YUDU and SAMBOK are by nuclear. 3. In preparaing festive foods, DEOKGUK on SEOLNAL, OHKOKBAP and MUKEUNNAMUL on DAEBOREUM, SONGPYEON and GATEUNNAMUL on CHUSEOK, and PATJUK on DONGJI are being made very generally. KANGJEONG on SEOLNAL, BUREUM on DAEBOREUM, KALGUKSU and SAMGYAETANG on SAMBOK, DARKJIM on CHUSEOK, SUJEONGGWA and DONGCHIMI on DONGJI appeared comparatively high rated of making. 4.

This study surveyed the recognition and satisfaction of food styling for cooks in a deluxe hotel. The most important item for cooks while cooking was 'taste' (57.7%) followed by 'sanitation' (25.9%). For food styling education in hotels, only 35.5% of the hotels surveyed had their own education program, and the media was the main source of food styling information (54.9%). Also, chefs studied food styling(49.6% of respondents) by themselves, for 'personal development'(73.8%). Average scale of recognition of food trends was $3.35{\pm}.83$, and that of the principles of food styling was $3.41{\pm}.84$. There were the significant differences in terms of the recognition of food styling in the age groups, cooking experience, and the positions. Moreover, cooks' overall satisfaction with food styling was found low with the average of $2.90{\pm}.89$. For the satisfaction with food styling based on the general characteristics, there was a significant difference in 'positions' (p<0.1) and 'education' (p<0.1), which suggested that the higher positions and education, the greater satisfaction with food styling.

This study was performed to compare nutritional supplementation habits for Korean professional soccer players with those for the non-athletic male adults. Information about prevalence and kinds of supplements taken, information sources, nutrition knowledge were collected. Data were obtained from 53 football players working for Korean professional football clubs and 44 non-athletic males, who answered a list of questionnaires which had been prepared in advance. The prevalence of supplement use in the soccer player group (96%) was strikingly higher than in the nonathletic male group (34%). Vitamins were taken most frequently, followed by red ginseng, multivitamin, Chinese medicine and amino acids supplements in the soccer player group, with each player taking 2.96 kinds of supplements in average. Multivitamin was the most popular supplement in the non-athletic male group. The major reason for taking supplements was not to feel and recover from fatigue in both groups. It appeared that the non-athletic males started to use supplements mostly by recommendation of friends or colleagues. Meanwhile, soccer players took supplements on their needs, with half of them (50.1%) provided with nutrition information. The most important information source was coaches for soccer players group, and mass media for the non-athletic male group. The average scores of soccer players group on basic nutrition and athletic nutrition were lower than the respective values of the non-athletic males. Among the soccer players, 68% had taken more than 3 kinds of supplements during the last year; nonetheless, more than half could not perceive the effectiveness of the supplements. Our results show that supplementation practices were widespread in soccer players, and suggest that nutrition education for proper use of supplements and overall health care is needed for soccer players.

The culture conditions to maximize the production of laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) from Fomitopsis pinicola mycelia were investigated. Among the tested media for the enzyme production, mushroom complete medium (MCM ; 2% dextrose, 0.2% peptone, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$, and 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$) showed the highest activity of the enzyme. To optimize the culture condition for the laccase activity, influence of various carbon and nitrogen sources was investigated in MCM. Among various carbon and nitrogen sources, 2% glucose and 0.4% peptone showed the highest production of the enzyme, respectively. For the phosphorus and inorganic source, 0.05% $NaH_2PO_4$ and 0.05% $CaCl_2$ were best for the enzyme activity. The enzyme production was reached to highest level after the cultivation for 8 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by the laccase activity staining using 2, 2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) as the substrate was performed to identify the laccase under culture conditions studied. Zymogram analysis of the culture supernatant showed a laccase band with molecular mass of 52 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were $80^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.0.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of oocyte donor age and micromanipulation medium on the development of mouse cloned embryos receiving cumulus cells. Mouse oocytes were obtained from 6 to 11 week-old mice BDF1 female mice(experiment 1) and cumulus cells were used as donor cells. Micromanipulation procedures for nuclear transfer(NT) were performed in FHM, M2 or Hepes-buffered TCM199(TCM199) medium(experiment 2). After nuclear transfer, the reconstructed oocytes were activated by 10 mM $SrCl_2$ in Ca-free CZB medium in the presence of 5 II ${\mu}$g/ml cytochalasin B for 5 h and cultured in KSOM medium for 4 days. In experiment 1, the survival rate of oocytes after injection of cumulus cells were significantly(p<0.05) lower in oocytes from 6~7 week-old mice(53.3%) than in oocytes from 8~9(80.9%) and 10~11 week-old mice(77.1%). In experiment 2, the survival rate of oocytes after cell injection were significantly(p<0.05) higher in FHM and M2 medium(71.7% and 76.9%) than in TCM199 medium(51.2%). The activation rates of cloned embryos were not different among the micromanipulation media. However, the embryos developed to blastocyst stage were significantly(p<0.05) higher in FHM medium(13.9%) than in M2 and TCM199 medium(0.0% and 0.0%). In conclusion, the present study suggest that oocytes from above 8 week-old mice are superior to oocytes from 6~7 week-old mice as a source of recipient cytoplasm and FHM is superior to M2 and TCM199 as a micromanipulation medium for mouse somatic cell cloning.

Of the cadmium-tolerant 162 bacterial strains isolated from soils, river waters or active sludges of waste-water disposal plants in the Gyeongnam province a strain C1, which showed considerably higher growth rate in the agar plate containing 2000 ppm than any other strains isolated, was identified as a Pseudomonas putida or its similar strain when analyzed by taxonomical characteristics. Optimum pH and temperature for the growth of the P, putida were 7.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. This strain was resistant to antibiotics(ampicillin, chloramphenicol and streptomycin), and heavy metals(lithium, cupper, lead and zinc). This strain utilized salicylate, naphthalene or xylene as a sole carbon source. The rate of cadmium accumulation in P. putida cell was enhanced at low concentration of Cd in the growth media. The maximum cadmium absorption by this strain grown in 1 and l0ppm of Cd was respectively 78% and 60% 24 hrs after culture, but in 100 ppm Cd, 40% 48 hrs after culture. Addition of a non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100(0.1%) to the medium enhanced the accumulation of cadmium in the P. putida up to approximately 37%.

This experiment was carried out to clarify the optimal concentrations of growth regulators for callus induction and the condition of callus culture of leaf tissue taken from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The content of stevioside, sweetening component, in leaf-derived callus of stevia was also investigated. It was shown that the optimal concentrations of benzyladenine (BA) and ${\alpha}-naphthalene$acetic acid (NAA) for callus induction were $10^{-6}M$ and $10^{-5}M$, respectively. Reculture of these calli in media (Linsmaier and Skoog) supplemented with BA $10^{-6}M$ and NAA $10^{-5}M$ resulted in profuse calli 15 to 20 days after incubation. When sweetening components produced by callus were extracted and identified by TLC, stevioside appeared to have Rf value 0.50 in TLC which was exactly same as standard stevioside. Stevioside content obtained by TLC-FID analyzer was 260mg per 100g on the basis of dry weight.
