A molel study was conducted to determine the optimal sample size for the analysis of the aquatic insect community in a stream reach of the Pangtae Creek, Kangwon-do in October 1995 and may 1996. The results showed that the required minimum sample size varied and depended on the purposes of the community analysis. Acoording to the Species: Area Curve method, at least 16 Surber samplings ($30{\times}30cm$) were required in a stream reach in each spring and fall survey. The species diversity index did not vary significantly as the sample size increased. Based on the coefficient of variation analysis, the minimum sample sizes of 10 were required in order to compare seasonal differences of the community in the study area. Considering the static community structure of aquatic insects, including both species numbers and individual numbers of aquatic insects, 11 and 7 samplings were optimal sizes for the fall and spring survey, respectively. We concluded that 12 Surber samplings from 3 riffle-pool sequences (4 samplings at each riffle-pool sequence) would be required in a stream reach (length 1 km) to obtain reliable as well as cost efficient data. Our model showed that the optimal sample size should be determined by interactions between minimum sample size, the degree of data reliability, and cost efficiency.

Nanowires are promising options for building nanoscale electronic structures coming from high conductivity of nanowires. In particular, Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is structurally nanowire, can obtain highly ordered electronic components for nanocircuitry and/or nanodevices because of its very flexible length controllability, nanometer-size diameter, about 2 nm, and self-assembling properties. In this work, we used the method to form DNA-Nanowires (NWs) by using chemical treatment on Silicon (Si) surface, and Aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) was used as inducer of DNA sequence to modify the characteristics of Si surface. Moreover, we performed tilting technique to align DNA by the direction of flow of DNA solution. We investigated the assembly process between DNA molecules and APTES - coated Si surface according to the APTES concentration, from $1.2{\mu}\ell$ to $120{\mu}\ell$. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images showed the combination rate of DNA molecules by the change of APTES concentration. As APTES concentration becomes thicker, aggregation of DNA molecules occurs, and this makes a kind of DNA networks. In this respect, we confirmed that there's a positive relationship between the concentration of APTES and the formation rate of DNA nanowires. Since there have been lots of research preceded to utilize DNA nanowires as template, so by using this positive relationship with proper alignment technique, realization of nano electronic devices with DNA nanowires might be feasible.

Water tree degradations have been considered as one of the most important causes of failure in underground distribution cables with polymeric insulation. Water tree growth is a preliminary step in the sequence of electrical tree initiation and electrical breakdown of the insulation. In this paper, needle electrode is made use of the etching methods and the pellet type specimen is made to observe the water tree in succession. In previous methods are able to observe the tree degradations without cutting and dyeing. The water tree image is recorded on VTR with CCD camera. The tree length of X, Y axis direction and aging area(treeing area) are calculated with image measurement. As a result of this study, water tree is observed by non-destructive method. Electrical tree is initiated from needle electrode tip only but water tree is initiated from total area of water electrode. Electrical tree owing to water treeing is initiated at low electric field and grown with discontinuously. Namely, water tree is shown up a different characteristics of tree growth.

This paper introduces a video based traffic monitoring system for detecting vehicles and obstacles on the road. To segment moving objects from image sequence, we adopt the background subtraction algorithm based on the local binary patterns (LBP). Recently, LBP based texture analysis techniques are becoming popular tools for various machine vision applications such as face recognition, object classification and so on. In this paper, we adopt an extension of LBP, called the Diagonal LBP (DLBP), to handle the background subtraction problem arise in vision-based autonomous parking systems. It reduces the code length of LBP by half and improves the computation complexity drastically. An edge based shadow removal and blob merging procedure are also applied to the foreground blobs, and a pose estimation technique is utilized for calculating the position and heading angle of the moving object precisely. Experimental results revealed that our system works well for real-time vehicle localization and tracking applications.

SIFamide receptor (SIFR) is a Drosophila G protein-coupled receptor for the neuropeptide SIFamide (SIFa). Although the sequence and spatial expression of SIFa are evolutionarily conserved among insect species, the physiological function of SIFa/SIFR signaling remains elusive. Here, we provide genetic evidence that SIFa and SIFR promote sleep in Drosophila. Either genetic ablation of SIFa-expressing neurons in the pars intercerebralis (PI) or pan-neuronal depletion of SIFa expression shortened baseline sleep and reduced sleep-bout length, suggesting that it caused sleep fragmentation. Consistently, RNA interference-mediated knockdown of SIFR expression caused short sleep phenotypes as observed in SIFa-ablated or depleted flies. Using a panel of neuron-specific Gal4 drivers, we further mapped SIFR effects to subsets of PI neurons. Taken together, these results reveal a novel physiological role of the neuropeptide SIFa/SIFR pathway to regulate sleep through sleep-promoting neural circuits in the PI of adult fly brains.

The a-Si:H TFTs decreasing parasitic capacitance of source-drain is fabricated on glass. The structure of a-Si:H TFTs is inverted staggered. The gate electrode is formed by patterning with length of $8{\mu}m{\sim}16{\mu}m$ and width of $80{\sim}200{\mu}m$ after depositing with gate electrode (Cr) $1500{\AA}$ under coming 7059 glass substrate. We have fabricated a-SiN:H, conductor, etch-stopper and photoresistor on gate electrode in sequence, respectively. The thickness of these, thin films is formed with a-SiN:H ($2000{\mu}m$), a-Si:H($2000{\mu}m$) and $n^+a-Si:H$ ($500{\mu}m$). We have deposited $n^+a-Si:H$, NPR(Negative Photo Resister) layer after forming pattern of Cr gate electrode by etch-stopper pattern. The NPR layer by inverting pattern of upper gate electrode is patterned and the $n^+a-Si:H$ layer is etched by the NPR pattern. The NPR layer is removed. After Cr layer is deposited and patterned, the source-drain electrode is formed. The a-Si:H TFTs decreasing parasitic capacitance of source-drain show drain current of $8{\mu}A$ at 20 gate voltages, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of ${\sim}10^8$ and $V_{th}$ of 4 volts.

프로토콜이 방대화되고 복잡해짐에 따라 기존의 제어흐름 중심의 테스트는 프로토콜이 갖는 자료흐름, 전이조건, 지연 등의 복합요소를 테스트하는데 문제점을 갖는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자료흐름을 제어흐름에 통합하여 테스트 스위트를 생성함으로써 제어흐름 분석시 발생하는 비결정성 문제를 해결하고, 도달가능 트리를 이용하여 실행 불가능 경로를 제거한 후 실행가능 경로에 대한 테스트 스위트만을 생성하는 기법을 제안하고 이를 설계 및 구현하였다. 설계 및 구현된 도구는 기존 방법과 비교하여 UIO 길이를 줄이며 오류 가능성이 높은 특성 경로에 대한 부분적인 테스트가 필요한 경우에 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. 또한 구현된 자동 테스트 스위트 생성도구의 활용으로 프로토콜 구현의 생산성을 높일 수 있으며 프로토콜 테스팅 환경의 기반을 제공한다.

An endophytic bacterial strain was isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented Brassica campestris and identified as Bacillus subtilis MJMP2 based on the 16S rRNA sequence. This strain showed strong antagonistic activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) KACC10331, the pathogen of bacterial rice blight disease, as well as activity against some other rice phytopathogenic fungi. The active compound was purified through size-exclusion chromatography and preparative High-performance liquid chromatography. The molecular weight was determined as m/z 1043 by mass spectroscopy, which is identical to that of iturin A. Furthermore, a crude extract from the culture supernatant of Bacillus subtilis MJMP2 showed inhibitory activity against rice blight disease in both a rice leaf explant assay and a pot assay. The crude extract also enhanced the length of roots of Arabidopsis thaliana. These results suggest that the strain Bacillus subtilis MJMP2 could be used as a biological agent to control rice blight disease.

본 논문에서는 저속 페이딩 환경 하에서 다중 심볼 차동 복조기의 다이버시티 수신 방법에 대하여 연구한다. MSDD(Multiple Symbol Differential Detection)를 이용하여 다이버시티 수신을 할 경우 복조 블럭의 길이를 크게 할수록 차동 부호화된 MPSK의 Maxim -Ratio-Combining(MRC) 다이버시티 수신기 성능에 수렴하지만 복잡도가 지수적으로 증가하여 현실적으로 구현이 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 MSDD 수신기에 입력하기 전에 수신 신호들을 정렬 시켜서 결합하는 pre-combining 방식을 제안하였다. 여기서 제안된 pre-combined MSDD 다이버시티 수신기는 준최적 수신기로서 수신기의 복잡도가 복조 블록의 길이에 선형적으로 증가하는 효율적인 MSDD 복조를 가능케 한다. 따라서 고속의 버스트 모뎀과 같이 동기 복조의 어려움이 있을 경우, 채널에 대한 정보에 의존치 않고도 다이버시티 수신을 할 수 있으며 기존의 차동 복조 방식에 비하여 큰 성능 향상을 보여준다.
