To investigate the physiological activities of hot water extract and solvent fractions isolated from Pleurotus ferulea, antioxidative, fibrinolytic, thrombin inhibitory, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were examined. Pleurotus ferulea, hot water extract was fractionated into hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water fraction. Each of these was assayed individually. The antioxidative activities of ethyl acetate and butanol fractions were 86.79% and 87.82%, respectively. Using the fibrin plate method, only the ethyl acetate fraction showed a plasmin activity of 0.08 units/ml. Thrombin inhibitory activities of chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions were 74.90% and 71.08%, respectively. In the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity test, butanol fraction showed the highest activity at 49.67%. From the above results, we anticipate that solvent fractions of Pleurotus ferulea can be used as a materials for the development of biofunctional foods for cardiovascular diseases.

Map Matching is the method for correcting the current position from dead reckoning in Car Navigation System. In this paper, we proposed the new map matching algorithm that can correct the positioning error caused by sensors and digital map data around the cross road area. To do this, first we set the error boundary of the cross road area by combining the relative error of moving distance and the absolute error of road length, second, we find out the starting point of turning within the determined error boundary of the cross point area, third, we compare the turning angle of the car to the angle of each possible road, and the last, we decide the matched road. We used wheel sensor as a speed sensor and used optical fiber gyro as a directional sensor, and assembled the sensors to the notebook computer. We testified our algorithm by driving the Daejeon area-which is a part of south Korea-as a test area. And we proved the efficiency by doing that.

The collapse of a slope or cut embankment brings much damage to life and property. Accordingly, it is very important to analyze the spatial distribution by calculating the landslide susceptibility in the estimation of the risk of landslide occurrence. The heuristic, statistic, deterministic, and probabilistic methods have been introduced to make landslide susceptibility maps. In many cases, however, the reliability is low due to insufficient field data, and the qualitative experience and knowledge of experts could not be combined with the quantitative mechanical?analysis model in the existing methods. In this paper, new modeling method for a probabilistic landslide susceptibility analysis combined Bayesian Network with ontology model about experts' knowledge and spatial data was proposed. The ontology model, which was made using the reasoning engine, was automatically converted into the Bayesian Network structure. Through conditional probabilistic reasoning using the created Bayesian Network, landslide susceptibility with uncertainty was analyzed, and the results were described in maps, using GIS. The developed Bayesian Network was then applied to the test-site to verify its effect, and the result corresponded to the landslide traces boundary at 86.5% accuracy. We expect that general users will be able to make a landslide susceptibility analysis over a wide area without experts' help.

The uranium ingot casting process is one of the steps which consolidate uranium deposits produced by electrorefiner as an ingot form in a pryprocessing technique. This paper introduces new design concept of the ingot casting equipment and the performance test results of the lab-scale ingot casting equipment fabricated based on the design concept. Casting equipment produces the uranium ingot by pouring an uranium melt into a mold by tilting a melting crucible. Also it is equipped with a cup which is able to continuously feed uranium deposits into a melting crucible. The productivity could be significantly enhanced by introducing the continuous operation concept.

This paper presents a new strengthening method on concrete column against seismic loads for structural performance tests. An X-bracing using high performance carbon fiber threads called the "Carbon fiber anchor X-bracing system" is used to connect RC frames internally. The carbon fiber sheet is wrapped around the column to fix the top and bottom of the column after Super anchor was installed by drilling hole on the column. The structural performance was evaluated experimentally and analytically. Two types of columns specimens were made; flexure fracture scaled model and shear fracture scaled model. For the performance evaluation, cyclic loading tests were conducted on moment and shear resisting columns with and without X bracing. Test results confirmed that the bracing system installed on RC columns enhanced the strength capacity and provided adequate ductility.

This paper presents a new point navigation guidance law which is useful for unmanned helicopters. Predicting the future position, the guidance law generates velocity and heading commands, which are used as input to autopilot. This method differs from conventional guidance law in that it reorients the direction of flight velocity vector directly, not by bank angle indirectly. For flight tests, we have developed a flight control system for a R/C helicopters. The system consists of a flight control computer, navigation sensors, and a ground station The results of the test show that the proposed law guides a unmanned helicopter along a line path within a given area. In the future, we are planning to extend the guidance law to the mission of path following. i.e., waypoint navigation.

In the concrete repairing industry, it's very significant to apply adequate repair materials and construction method in order to extend service life of deteriorated concrete structure efficiently. also, adequate diagnosis of deteriorated structure's status should be involved. This paper describes an investigation of bond strength of polymer modified mortar applied both old deteriorated concrete surface substrate and well cured new concretes. The purpose of this investigation is comparing how much the tensile bond strength on construction site is different from laboratory test results. in the results of investigation, most of sample tested in laboratory is in compliance with KS F 4042's specification. and most of results of construction site are not in compliance with the specification cause of low tensile strength of concrete's surface.

In this paper, we propose a new method to improve tile processing of route recovery of the existing DSR algorithm on detection of route error. In mobile ad hoc networks, mobile nodes themselves have routing capability. Thus, a well-defined routing protocol is required for route set-up between two mobile nodes. However, the existing DSR routing protocol has problem with dropping of packets due to the recovery delay when a route error occurs. In order to alleviate tile problem, we propose an enhanced DSR protocol to reduce the route error recovery tine and evaluate the protocol through simulation. As tile result of evaluation, we found the proposed DSR protocol provided about 4 to 30 times faster route error recovery time according to the test scenario than the existing DSR protocol.

This study is on system building and model case study to establish a new framework of "The Wild and Scenic Rivers System" and to apply this to Korean rivers. The Wild and Scenic Rivers System of the U. S. , which had become law in 1968 for establishing wild scenic and recreational river areas, was investigated. The techniques of two American case studies about the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System designation were investigated and synthesized, and study process was adjusted to Korean river system. Additionally, pilot study was carried out by the method and results were as follows : 1) In the American Wild and Scenic Rivers System, each river was evaluated based on eligibility criteria for designation, such as remarkable scenic, recreational, fish and wildlife, cultural or other ecological values. Segmented river areas were classified into three or four grades and management plans were prepared accordingly. 2) The management of rivers in Korea has emphasized on the flood control and water resources management up to the present, and now takes a growing interest in water quality. But it has been concerned very little with wild and scenic resources conservation of river corridors. It is strongly recommended to build Wild and Scenic Rivers System in Korea for rational management and conservation of the valuable natural resource. 3) Suggested evaluation criteria for the Korean Wild and Scenic Rivers System were wildness, wildlife and plants, hydrology, scenic quality, and historical and cultural resources. The river areas may be graded into four : Positive conservation area(I), Negative conservation area(II), Negative development area(III), Positive development area(IV). Management guidelines were proposed for each grade. 4) To test the applicability of the approach, one of the major tributary of the Han-River was selected for pilot study. The result showed that the evaluation and grading system worked well. Finally, it is recommended to incorporate the Wild and Scenic Rivers System into Korean national park system, and to amend the Korean National Park Act to enable this.

Quality criteria for interaction between a pantograph and overhead contact wire is a most important requirement to assess of the performance for the current collection system. Interaction performance between pantograph and catenary system is subject to approval by the infrastructure manager when a new design and contraction of overhead contact line and pantograph are installed. Among the various performance, percentage of arcing at maximum line speed is a simple test method compared with contact force of pantograph due to direct sensing of pantagraph, calibrations, installations of train, and etc. On the other hand, percentage of arcing is need to reliable arcing detector and general requirements with accordance with EN 50317. In this paper, percentage of arcing are investigated on the function of duration of arc and proposed which is satiable of percentage of arcing. As a results, we proposed which duration of arcs are unsuitable from infrastructures point of view as performance testing for quality of current collection.
