Objective: This research analyzed behavioral characteristics of Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) steers during each season and growth stage to enable measurement of the animals' welfare level for precision livestock farming. Methods: A hundred-eight beef steers were divided into three equal groups at a Hanwoo farm according to their growth stage: growing stage (GS), 8 months; early-fattening stage (EFS), 19 months; and late-fattening stage (LFS), 30 months. Twelve behavioral categories were continuously recorded for 13 day-time hours in each four seasons with three replications. Results: Time spent standing was found to be significantly longer in summer at all growth stages (p<0.05). Hanwoos at the GS spent significantly longer standing time in spring and summer than those at the EFS and LFS (p<0.05). Lying time in summer was the shortest for all growth stages (p<0.05). Steers at the LFS spent significantly longer lying time than that at the GS (p<0.05) in summer. For GS and EFS, time spent eating in spring and autumn were longer than in summer and winter (p<0.05). Eating time was the longest for the GS in spring, autumn, and winter, excluding for the LFS in winter (p<0.05). Regarding ruminating, steers at the LFS spent significantly shorter time than those at other stages in all seasons (p<0.05). GS and EFS steers showed the longest walking time in summer compared with other seasons (p<0.05). At GS and LFS, drinking time in summer was the longest of all seasons (p<0.05). Sleeping time was significantly shorter in summer compared with the other seasons (p<0.05). Self-grooming time was the longest in winter for all growth stages (p<0.05). Conclusion: Steers were found to have more variable behavioral patterns during summer and the GS and less active behaviors during the LFS, thus extra care seems necessary during the GS, LFS, and summer period.

Hold-up time is a special requirement for the front end DC/DC converter in a server power supply. It forces the converter with the variable switching frequency to operate in a wide switching frequency range, which makes the regulation difficult and reduces the power density. In this paper a novel frequency controlled half bridge converter with the hold-up time extension circuit is proposed. During the hold-up time, the auxiliary switches are turned on, thus the resonant inductance is reduced and the voltage conversion ratio is increased. Therefore, the output capacitor of the power factor correction (PFC) circuit can be decreased, and the converter can have high power density. The proposed converter is verified by experimental results from a prototype with 700W, 400V input, and 12V output.

CFD method has been coupled with a time-marching free-wake model by usingfield velocity approach suggested by J. D. Baeder (Ref. 1). The coupled method hasbeen applied to rectangular and BERP-like blades and the calculated perfonnance dataare compared with the experimental results.For hovering analysis, the present method could yield sufficiently good resultswith reasonable computation time and is particularly suitable for the flow fieldanalysis with the complex shaped blade.

The laboratory time for students in engineering has to be managed in that way that it provides students width maximal practice hours. However, it usually takes too much time to learn basic knowledge for the experiment and the directions of the equipment. In this paper, we introduce the web contents which students can study basic knowledge the directions of the equipment without regard to time or place. As the result that we let students study the contents before the class, they were easily adapted to handle the equipments for the experiment so that we can revise their execution abilities. And also there were effects such as reducing the total experiment's time and a rate of damage of equipment.

We propose a blind feedforward phase noise mitigation method in the time-domain for a coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. By exploiting the redundancy of the cyclic prefix (CP), the proposed scheme acquires the overall phase noise difference information during an OFDM block and attempts to mitigate the phase noise in the time domain using a linear approximation. The proposed algorithm mitigates common phase error (CPE) and inter-carrier-interference (ICI) due to phase noise simultaneously, improving the system performance, especially when decision-directed equalizers are used. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feedforward phase noise mitigation approach in time domain.

Objectives: Exposure to hazardous air pollutants could be affected by sociodemographic factors such as age, gender and more. Information on time spent in microenvironments has a critical role in exposure assessment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the exposure pathways which influence personal exposure through time-activity patterns and sociodemographic factors. Methods: A total of 379 subjects were collected from the second term of the Korean National Environmental Health Survey. A questionnaire survey in relation to sociodemographic factors and a time-activity diary were carried out for personal exposure to toluene. Focusing on personal exposure to toluene, factors affecting personal exposure were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results: Participants spent their time in an indoor house for $16.8{\pm}4.0hr$, workplace or school $2.3{\pm}3.5hr$, and other indoor $2.1{\pm}2.2hr$. Sociodemographic factors were significantly different among each personal exposure and microenvironment. Time of staying at an office turned out to be a main factor from point of exposure in exposure pathway using multiple regression analysis. As a result, this means that exposure may be different according to the time of staying in each microenvironment. Conclusions: Personal exposure to air pollutants might be decided by time-activity pattern indicating when, where, and which activities people pursue, as well as individual sociodemographic factors.

TDD를 기반으로 하는 TD-SCDMA 시스템은 상 하향링크를 시간 영역으로 나누기 때문에 상 하향링크에 대한 트래픽을 비대칭으로 적용할 수 있다. 따라서 높은 주파수 효율성을 가질 수 있지만 셀 간 상 하향링크가 엇갈리는 타임 슬럿이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 타임 슬럿이 존재하는 인접한 셀 간의 간섭은 시스템 성능을 저하시키는 주요한 원인으로 대두되었다. 일반적으로 이런 간섭을 억제하기 위한 방법으로 동적 채널 할당 방안이 고려된다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 안테나가 적용된 TD-SCDMA 시스템에서 사용자의 위치와 인접한 셀과의 빔 특성을 고려한 새로운 타임 슬럿 할당 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 모의실험을 통해 기존의 동적 채별 할당 방안과 제안된 동적 채널 할당 방안에 대한 셀의 수용용량을 측정하였다. 그 결과를 통해 제안된 동적 채널 할당 방안이 셀의 수용용량 면에서 기존에 제시된 동적 채널 할당 방안에 비해 좋은 성능을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Low viscosity LCs have been developed for fast response time improvement of the TFT-LCD Monitors based on TN mode. This low viscosity characteristic s cause the pretilt angle to be changed and the uniformity to degrade. We have studied on the pretilt angle effect by the various components used for low viscosity LCs. We prepared the panels by using these various components and measured pretilt angle for this research. As a result of this research, we have found out that each low viscosity component has the different pretilt angle level and uniformity. For good display quality, it is important to keep the stable pretilt angle. The low viscosity LCs with this stable pretilt angle make it possible to prepare the high performance TFT-LCD Monitor with both fast response time characteristics and good display quality

토마토황화잎말림바이러스(Tomato yellow leaf curl virus; TYLCV)는 온실가루이(Bemisia tabaci)에 의해서 영속전염되는 DNA 바이러스로 토마토에 발생하는 가장 중요한 병 중 하나이다. 우리나라에서 TYLCV는 2008년 최초로 보고된 이래 급속하게 전국적으로 확산되어 토마토 생산에 심각한 경제적 손실을 일으키고 있다. 토마토 생산과정에서 TYLCV의 확산을 최소화하기 위해 바이러스의 조기진단이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 바이러스의 신속진단을 위해 초고속 정밀 PCR 진단기술을 개발하였으며, 이는 마이크로칩을 기반으로 하여 $5{\mu}l$의 시료만으로 PCR을 수행할 수 있도록 고안된, 휴대가 가능할 정도의 소형 GenSpector$^{TM}$ TMC-1000 PCR 기기를 이용한 새로운 기술이다. 본 연구에서 개발된 초고속 정량 PCR을 이용하였을 때 TYLCV 진단을 위한 30 cycle의 PCR과 용융점분석(melting curve analysis)에 15분 이내의 시간이 소요되었으며, GenSpector$^{TM}$ TMC-1000 PCR을 이용한 초고속 정밀진단 기술은 향후 TYLCV의 대발생을 모니터링하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다. 본 연구결과는 GenSpector$^{TM}$ TMC-1000 PCR기반의 초고속정량 PCR 기술을 이용한 식물 바이러스의 진단기술 개발로는 최초의 보고이다.
