In this paper, we propose a simplified tag collection algorithm to improve the performances of ISO/IEC 18000-7, which is a standard for an active RFID system. The proposed algorithm modifies the collection command that enables to start a tag collection round. The modified collection command includes the results of the listen period response for the previous collection round. Tags that receive the collection command check the collision status for their responses. If there is no collision, tags transmit their additional data and go into the sleep mode without the point-to-point read command and sleep command. A collection round for the standard consists of a collection command and response, a read command and response, and sleep command. On the other hand, in the proposed algorithm, a collection round consists of a collection command and response. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm can improve the identification delay about 16% compared with the standard when the number of tags are 300.

Generally, the operating efficiency of the washing machine is mostly affected by the washing time. The washing time is determined by the amount and the type of the laundry. Although the type of the laundry is easily inputted by the user, but the amount of the laundry is difficult to do. For this reason, the specific process is existed for the estimation of the laundry and the time of the washing mode is determined by the estimated laundry. Therefore, this paper proposes the washing load estimation algorithm by the inertia estimator. The proposed algorithm is implemented on the PMSM drive using the low cost position sensor for practical washing machine application. The proposed algorithm is verified by the drum washing machine for the practical load condition test.

The docking and in silico ligand screening procedures can select small sets of lead -like candidates from large libraries of either commercially or synthetically available compounds; however, the vast number of such molecules make the potential size of this task enormous. To accelerate the discovery of drugs to inhibit several targets, we have exploited massively distributed computing to screen compound libraries virtually. The Korea@HOME project was launched in Feb. 2002, and one year later, more than 1200 PC's have been recruited. This has created a 31 -gigaflop machine that has already provided more than 1400 hours of CPU time. It has all owed databases of millions of compounds to be screened against protein targets in a matter of days. Now, the virtual screening software suitable for distributed environments is developed by BMD. It has been evaluated in terms of the accuracy of the scoring function and the search algorithm for the correct binding mode.

Movie is one of the most popular culture ac-tivities in modern society and the composite rt of science and art born in the 20th century. Movie became the great source of setting the fashion. Especially movie costume brought into relief and was accepted by the mass. As a movie stimulates imitation psychology and identification of the general public in fashion. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the movie costume to a modern mass fashion. The times was defined the movies from the early Silent era to the modern Hollywood movie from the late of 1910 to 1990. The way of study were to analyze on the changes and roles of movie costume through documentary records and the influence of set-ting the fashion to the mass fashion and classi-fied it five times-silent era classics neo-classics new look and modern times. The summary of result is as follows, 1, Movie costume affected the dress and the fashion of women is Silent era. That fashion was accelerated by actors' costumes in the mode of 1920. 2. Holloywood movies in the Classics show the essence of the fashion movie costume played a role of a fashion leader and commanded the trend of mass fashion. 3. Practical style was shown because of the war in the Neo-classics. Movie industry was prosperous after the war. But the consequences of the movie costume to the mass fashion were more and more weaken 4. Couture designer's costume had an effect on the mass fashion in the early of New look. But it was behind the fashion for the rise of young fashion. 5. The tastes of the fashion were diversified in Modern times. So the movie fashion was not imitated or popular. The costume of "Pret-a-porter" was used in the movies in the 1980. Spectators became to wear the same style of the actors. The times fashion and movie interacted each other. Movie costume is playing a role of a fashion leader guiding the mass fashion.s fashion.

In this paper, a model updating procedure based on the response surface method combined with the multi-objective optimization was proposed and applied for updating of the FE models representing a low-rise reinforced concrete building before and after the seismic retrofit. The dynamic properties to be matched were obtained from vibration tests using a small shaker system. By varying the structural parameters according to the central composite design, analysis results from the initial FE model using a commercial software were collected and used to produce two regression functions each of which representing the errors in the natural frequencies and mode shapes. The two functions were used as the objective functions for multi-objective optimization. Final solution was determined by examining the Pareto solutions with one iteration. The parameters representing the stiffnesses of existing concrete, masonry, connection stiffness in expansion joint, new concrete, retrofitted members with steel section jacketing were selected and identified.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Abundant consumption of seaweeds in the diet is epidemiologically linked to the reduction in risk of developing cancer. In larger cases, however, identification of particular seaweeds that are accountable for these effects is still lacking, hindering the recognition of competent dietary-based chemo preventive approaches. The aim of this research was to establish the antiproliferative potency and angiosuppressive mode of action of Stoechospermum marginatum seaweed methanolic extract using various experimental models. MATERIALS/METHODS: Among the 15 seaweeds screened for antiproliferative activity against Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cell line, Stoechospermum marginatum extract (SME) was found to be the most promising. Therefore, it was further investigated for its anti-proliferative activity in-vitro against choriocarcinoma (BeWo) and non-transformed Human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells, and for its anti-migratory/tube formation activity against HUVEC cells in-vitro. Subsequently, the angiosuppressive activity of S. marginatum was established by inhibition of angiogenesis in in-vivo (peritoneal angiogenesis and chorioallantoic membrane assay) and ex-vivo (rat cornea assay) models. RESULTS: Most brown seaweed extracts inhibited the proliferation of EAT cells, while green and red seaweed extracts were much less effective. According to the results, SME selectively inhibited proliferation of BeWo cells in-vitro in a dose-dependent manner, but had a lesser effect on HEK 293 cells. SME also suppressed the migration and tube formation of HUVEC cells in-vitro. In addition, SME was able to suppress VEGF-induced angiogenesis in the chorio allantoic membrane, rat cornea, and tumor induced angiogenesis in the peritoneum of EAT bearing mice. A decrease in the microvessel density count and CD31 antigen staining of treated mice peritoneum provided further evidence of its angiosuppressive activity. CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, the data underline that VEGF mediated angiogenesis is the target for the angiosuppressive action of SME and could potentially be useful in cancer prevention or treatment involving stimulated angiogenesis.

A control oriented model of the Lean $NO_x$ trap (LNT) was developed to determine the timing of $NO_x$ regeneration. The LNT model consists of $NO_x$ storage and reduction model. Once $NO_x$ is stored ($NO_x$ storage model), at the right timing $NO_x$ should be released and then reduced ($NO_x$ reduction model) with reductants on the catalyst active sites, called regeneration. The $NO_x$ storage model simulates the degree of stored $NO_x$ in the LNT. It is structured by an instantaneous $NO_x$ storage efficiency and the $NO_x$ storage capacity model. The $NO_x$ storge capacity model was modeled to have a Gaussian distribution with a function of exhaust gas temperature. $NO_x$ release and reduction reactions for the $NO_x$ reduction model were modeled as Arrhenius equations. The parameter identification was optimally performed by the data of the bench flow reactor test results at space velocity 50,000/hr, 80,000/hr, and temperature of $250-500^{\circ}C$. The LNT model state, storage fraction indicates the degree of stored $NO_x$ in the LNT and thus, the timing of the regeneration can be determined based on it. For practical purpose, this model will be verified more completely by engine test data which simulate the NEDC transient mode.

Asynchronous mode W-CDMA system is kmown to be quite appropriate to the next generation mobile communication system, especially in a non-homogenious cellular architecture. In this case, however, each base station needs to use different spreading code for identification, so it is a demeanding task for a mobile terminal to find the best cell site and get an accurate code synchronization at the beginning of a communication. Since slow acquisition of a base station could mean the failure of initiation, a fast algorithm to accelerate the cell search process is essential. In this paper, a new cell search algorithm based on the binary code position modulation within the code block is proposed. Different cell sites are identified by different hopping code sequences, andeach position modulation is performed by the hopping code. The proposed algorithm is proved to make the cell search time in most places in a cell much shorter than the previous algorithms, and to make the receiver implementation simpler.

호주의 많은 소동물 임상수의사들이 최근에 관심을 갖고 있는 부분은 개의 아토피(Canine Atopy)에서의 알러지-특이성(Allergen-specific)IgE에 쓰이는 혈청 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay, 효소결합면역흡착검사)테스트의 활용 가능성에 관한 것이다. 희망사항은 개 아토피의 진단과 치료에 있어서 도움이 되도록 접근할 수 있는 시험(Accessible test)일 것이다. 아토피(Atopy)는 진단과 치료를 실패시키는 질병이며, 새로운 ELISA라도 이 문제를 쉽게 해결하여 주지 못한다. 개의 아토피에서 알려진(Allergens)들을 분석하는 데 쓰이는 혈청 ELISA처럼 아주 정확하게 특성화되어져야 한다. 해당 개는 아토피성(Atopic)으로서 진단되어져야만 되고 그 다음에 치료에 지침이 되도록 개별 알러진 동정(Individual allergen identification)용 ELISA로 개의 혈액을 스크린하는데 적합하여야 한다. ELISA와 피내접종시험(Internal testing)방법은 상관도가 낮고 그렇기 때문에 어떤 시험이 더 신뢰할 수 있는 것일까? 이러한 사실은 논쟁의 여지가 있으며 이상의 2가지 시험들이 옳다면 각각의 상응하는 각각 다른 아형(Subtypes)의 아토피라고 볼 수있다. 아마도 알러진들은 경피적으로 흡수되어 아토피성피부염으로 되어진다. 그것은 인체에서 건초열(Hay fever)이나 천식(Asthma)과 같이 흡입에 의해 일으키는 유사한 증후군동종 (Syndrome akin)과 같은 접근의 초기양식(Primary mode of access)으로부터 생기는 다른 유사한 질병과정이 되어질 수도 있다. 이러한 2가지 증후군은 함께 병발하는 경우가 있다. 의학에서는 피부 반점시험방법의 예비조사연구(Preliminary research with skin patch testing in medicine)는 아토피성 피부염을 야기하는 알러진들의 경피흡수경로의 개념을 지지해준다. 흡인 알러진들을 사용한 개들에서의 도전 시험(Challenge tests)들은 거의 대부분이 비-피부학적 임상증상들을 발현하였다. 모든 증거가 분명히 나타나도록 미래의 조사연구를 인도해 주는 게 필요하며 개 아토피의 정의와 진단을 둘러싼 수수께끼를 해결하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Objective: Two Korea-mode sport beverages with medicinal herbs added, Saeng Mac San (SMS) and Je Ho Tang (JHT), were developed by the Ginseng Research Group of the Korea Food Research Institute. For their practical usage, we examined their taste tests at rest including sense-analysis (S-A) and preference-inquiry (P-I). Methods: Five beverage-treatments, SMS, JHT and three commercial sport beverages (CSBs) and a control (CON) were offered randomly. Eighty-two subjects under stable control of their taste sense filled out the questionnaires for their S-A and p-I, which were developed by the Exercise Physiology Laboratory of Kyungpook National University. The collected data $(means{\pm}SD)$ were analyzed by repeated measures one-way ANOVA; Tukey' s test was administrated for identification of statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Results: Overall beverage likeability values of SMS and JHT were significantly lower than those of CSBs, JHT lower than CON. Overall flavor values of SMS and JHT were significantly lower than those of CSBs and CON. SMS was similar to CON in the amount of flavor. SMS and JHT were less tart than CSBs and the former was significantly lower than CSBs and CON in four drinkability-related items. Conclusion : SMS rated less than CSBs in tartness and the amount of flavor. JHT was avoided most. Thus, the results indicate that JHT is not fit as a sport beverdge and the overall likeability of SMS must be elevated by way of strengthening its tartness and amount of flavor for practical usage.
