As computer technology continues to develop, computer networks are now widely used. As a result, there are many new intrusion types appearing and information security is becoming increasingly important. Although there are many kinds of intrusion detection systems deployed to protect our modern networks, we are constantly hearing reports of hackers causing major disruptions. Since existing technologies all have some disadvantages, we utilize algorithms, such as the fuzzy C-means (FCM) and the support vector machine (SVM) algorithms to improve these technologies. Using these two algorithms alone has some disadvantages leading to a low classification accuracy rate. In the case of FCM, self-adaptability is weak, and the algorithm is sensitive to the initial value, vulnerable to the impact of noise and isolated points, and can easily converge to local extrema among other defects. These weaknesses may yield an unsatisfactory detection result with a low detection rate. We use a genetic algorithm (GA) to help resolve these problems. Our experimental results show that the combined GA and FCM algorithm's accuracy rate is approximately 30% higher than that of the standard FCM thereby demonstrating that our approach is substantially more effective.

The bacterium Edwardsiella tarda was injected into healthy snakeheads (Channa argus) in order to prove the causative agent of ascite. The bacterium dominantly isolated from 2 cultured ascite snakeheads was injected into fish by the dose of $5\times10^6$ CFU/ 0.25ml, but the same dose of $0.65\%$ physiological saline was injected into the each control. The injected fish was divided into 4 groups such as intraperitoneal, intramuscle, control intra-peritoneal and control intramuscle according to their injection points. Each was composed of 10 healthy snakeheads respectively. Ascites and haemorrhagic ulcers became distinct 5 days after injection, but controls did not show any abnormal symptoms during the experimental period. Edwardsiella tarda was reisalated out of the injected fish's ascite, liver, kidney, spleen and haemorrhagic ulcer on the skin. Regardless of the injecting methods, liver was necrotized more severely than any other internal organ, but both the glomeruli of kidney and spleen were considerably damaged. Necrosis of muscle and a number of leucocytes were observed at the ulcerous region of the intramuscular injected fish. It is concluded that judging from the above results the Edwardsiella tarda is a causative agent to cause ascite in snakehead.

Celecoxib (4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide) is a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor used in the treatment of arthritis, acute pain, and dysmenorrhoea. Celecoxib is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II compound whose oral bioavailability is highly limited owing to its poor aqueous solubility. Several polymorphs of celecoxib have been identified as Form I, Form II, and Form III with melting points of about $162.8^{\circ}C$, $161.5^{\circ}C$, and $160.8^{\circ}C$, respectively. Form IV was generated from the precipitated suspension in the presence of HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and Polysorbate 80. A rapid rate of dissolution is useful because the rate of dissolution of a drug typically increases its bioavailability. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of production of new crystal form of celecoxib that has higher solubility than Form III. New crystal form of celecoxib (Form A) has been isolated by recrystallization and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD). Form A was dissolved faster than Form III. At 30 minutes, the dissolution of Form A was 97.3%, whereas the dissolution of Form III was 82.2% (p < 0.1). After storage of three months at $20^{\circ}C$, in 24% RH (Relative Humidity), the crystal form was not transformed.

This paper is to propose image segmentation method based on chamfer algorithm. First, we get original image from CCD camera and transform it into gray image. Second, we extract maximum gray value of background and reconstruct and eliminate the background using surface fitting method and bilinear interpolation. Third, we subtract the reconstructed background from gray image to remove noises in gray image. Fourth, we transform the subtracted image into binary image using Otsu's optimal thresholding method. Fifth, we use morphological filters such as areaopen, opening, filling filter etc. to remove noises and isolated points. Sixth, we use chamfer distance or Euclidean distance to this filtered image. Finally, we use watershed algorithm and count microorganisms in image by labeling. To prove the effectiveness, we apply the proposed algorithm to one of Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, Acinetobacter sp. It is shown that both Euclidean algorithm and chamfer algorithm show over-segmentation. But Chamfer algorithm shows less over-segmentation than Euclidean algorithm.

본 연구는 치근관 감염병소에서 세균을 분리 및 동정하고, 8종의 항생제들에 대한 분리균주들의 감수성을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 세균에 감염된 27개 치아의 괴사된 치근부 치부소직을 바비드 브로치나 페이퍼 포인트로 무균적으로 채취하였다. 치수가 채취된 부위의 바비드 브로치와 페이퍼 포인트를 500 ul의 $1{\times}PBS$ 용액에 담아 잘 혼합하고, 이를 5% 양혈이 포함된 BHI 한천배지(혈액한천배지)에 도말하여 $37^{\circ}C$ 혐기성 배양기에서 2-5일 동안 배양하였다. 혈액한천배지에서 자라난 세균은 16S rRNA 유전자(rDNA) 염기서열결정법을 이용하여 종수준으로 동정하였다. 이들 균주들의 8종 항상제에 대한 감수성은 최소성장억제농도 측정법으로 조사하였다. 본 연구결과, 101개의 세균 집락이 생겼고, Streptococcus spp. (29.7%)와 Actinomyces spp. (21.8%)가 가장 많이 검출되었다. 이들 균주들 중 9균주는 실험 도중 소실되거나 액체배지에 자라지 않아서 항생제 감수성 심험에서는 제외되었다. 각 항생제들에 대한 감수성을 조사한 결과, 분리된 균주들 중 80(87.0%) 균주가 클린다마이신에 감수성을 보였으며, 세프록심 아세틸과 테트라사이클린에 69(75.0%)가, 오그멘틴에 66(71.7%) 균주가, 페니실린 G에 63(68.5%) 균주가, 에리트로마이신에 61(66.3%) 균주가, 아목시실린에 41(44.6%) 균주가 감수성을 보였다. 그러나 시플록사신에는 29(31.5%) 균주만이 감수성을 보였다. 이러한 8종 항생제에 대한 균주들의 감수성 양상은 세균 종의 종류보다는 분리된 숙주에 따라 차이가 있었다. 이러한 결과는 치근관 감염질환의 치료에 항생제가 필요할 경우 항생제 감수성검사를 병행하는 것이 효과적임을 시사한다.

Gene expression profiling has offered new insights into postmortem molecular changes associated with meat quality. To acquire reliable transcript quantification, high quality RNA is required. The objective of this study was to analyze integrity of RNA isolated from chicken skeletal muscle (pectoralis major) and its capability of serving as the template in quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) as a function of postmortem intervals representing the end-points of evisceration, carcass chilling and aging stages in chicken abattoirs. Chicken breast muscle was dissected from the carcasses (n = 6) immediately after evisceration, and one-third of each sample was instantly snap-frozen and labeled as 20 min postmortem. The remaining muscle was stored on ice until the next rounds of sample collection (1.5 h and 6 h postmortem). The delayed postmortem duration did not significantly affect $A_{260}/A_{280}$ and $A_{260}/A_{230}$ ($p{\geq}0.05$), suggesting no altered purity of total RNA. Apart from a slight decrease in the 28s:18s ribosomal RNA ratio in 1.5 h samples (p<0.05), the value was not statistically different between 20 min and 6 h samples ($p{\geq}0.05$), indicating intact total RNA up to 6 h. Abundance of reference genes encoding beta-actin (ACTB), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), peptidylprolylisomerase A (PPIA) and TATA box-binding protein (TBP) as well as meat-quality associated genes (insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 4 (PDK4), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) were investigated using qPCR. Transcript abundances of ACTB, GAPDH, HPRT, and PPIA were significantly different among all postmortem time points (p<0.05). Transcript levels of PDK4 and PPARD were significantly reduced in the 6 h samples (p<0.05). The findings suggest an adverse effect of a prolonged postmortem duration on reliability of transcript quantification in chicken skeletal muscle. For the best RNA quality, chicken skeletal muscle should be immediately collected after evisceration or within 20 min postmortem, and rapidly preserved by deep freezing.

Purpose: In patients with splenic trauma, Computed Tomography (CT) scan is helpful in selecting treatment options and evaluating resolution after NOM (Non-Operative Management). The purpose of this study was to suggest a CT based hemoperitoneum (HP) scoring system that can easily be used by clinicians to evaluate the severity of injury and recovery. Methods: A retrospective review of patients with splenic trauma admitted to our hospital between May 2003 and January 2013 was conducted. Patients diagnosed with isolated spleen injury who had a CT scan on admission were included. 1 or 2 points were given according to location and amount of hematoma in the CT image. Using the existing ultrasonography (US) based HP scoring system, the same method was applied to obtain our CT based HP scoring (CBHS) system, which ranges from 0 to 8 points. The CBHS system can be easily used by clinicians for a quick assessment of splenic injury. Results: Of the 39 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 6 patients were managed operatively and 33 nonoperatively. There was a significant difference in CBHS between the OM (operative management) group and the NOM group.(p=0.03) CBHS showed correlation with Hb (hemoglobin), Hct (hematocrit), spleen injury grade(AAST), and Hounsfield unit of ROI (Region of interest). (p=0.17, p=0.18, p<0.000, p=0.02, respectively) After successful NOM with stabilized Hb level, the amount of hemoperitoneum was scored in the follow-up CT. CBHS demonstrated correlation with decreased spleen injury grade, decreased Hounsfield unit of ROI (Region of interest) (p=0.039, p=0.049, respectively), and also objectively reflected patient recovery. Conclusion: CBHS can be used as an objective and intuitive tool for clinicians in grading the severity of splenic injury by scoring the amount of hemoperitoneum, and in assessing recovery.

Metallo-${\beta}$-lactamase (MBL) can hydrolyze all ${\beta}$-lactams except monobactams and frequently coexists with various antibiotic resistance genes such as aminoglycoside resistance, sulfonamide resistance gene, etc. Therefore, the effective antibiotics against infections by these bacteria are markedly limited or can't even be found. We tried to search in-vitro antimicrobial combinations with synergistic effects for a VIM-2 type MBL producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from clinical specimen. On the selection of antibiotic combinations with synergistic effects, we performed a one disk synergy test, modified Pestel's method, in agar without aztreonam (AZT). The bacteriostatic synergistic effects of this tests were scored as $S_1$ (by susceptibility pattern in agar without antibiotics), $S_2$ (by the change of susceptibility in agar with or without antibiotics) and $S_3$ ($S_1$ + $S_2$) and was classified into weak (1 point), moderate (2 points) and strong (3 points) by $S_3$ score. Subsequently, we carried out the time-killing curve for the antibiotic combinations with the strong synergistic bacteriostatic effect. One VIM-2 type MBL producing P. aeruginosa confirmed by the PCR showed all resistance against all ${\beta}$-lactams except AZT, aminoglycoside and ciprofloxacin. In the one disk synergy test, this isolate showed a strong bacteriostatic synergistic effect for the antibiotic combination of AZT and piperacillin-tazobactam (PIP-TZP) or AZT and amikacin (AN). On the time-killing curve after six hours of incubation, the colony forming units (CFUs/mL) of this bacteria in the medium broth with both combination antibiotics were decreased to 1/18.7, 1/17.1 of the least CFUs of each single antibiotics. The triple antibiotic combination therapy including AZT, PIP-TZP and AN was shown to be significantly synergistic after 8 hrs of exposure. In a VIM-2 MBL producing P. aeruginosa with susceptibility for AZT, the triple antibiotic combination therapy including AZT, PIP-TZP and AN may be considered as an alternative antibiotics modality against the infection by some MBL type. But the antimicrobial combination therapy for many more MBL producing isolates is essential to know as soon as possible for the selection of effective treatment against the infection by this bacteria.

SH파의 균열 산란장 해석을 위하여 먼저 균열개구변위(COD)를 미지수로 하는 경계적분방정식(BIE)을 수립하였다. 폭 2a의 고립된 2차원 균열(slit)에 임의의 각도로 입사하는 시간조화 평면파에 대하여 COD를 주파수 ka의 함수로 구하였으며, 다른 연구 결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 초음파 비파괴평가에서 중요한 변수로 취급되는 원거리 산란음장을 두 가지 방법으로 구하였다. 펄스-에코 모드에서 Kirchhoff 근사법과 BIE-COD에 기초한 엄밀해의 결과를 입사각도와 주파수의 함수로 계산하고 서로 비교하였다. SH파가 균열면에 수직으로 입사/반사한 경우 산란음장은 최대가 되고, 두 방법은 정확히 일치하였다. 수직입사에서 멀어질수록 산란진폭은 모두 급격히 감소하며, Kirchhoff 근사법은 엄밀해와 차이를 보였다. 시간 영역의 원거리 산란진폭 거동을 구하기 위하여 대역폭을 갖는 중심주파수 10MHz를 곱하고, 퓨리에 역변환으로 시간영역 신호를 계산하였다. 경사 입사시에 시간영역의 진폭은 좌우 균열 선단에 의해 분리되며, 두 신호 사이의 시간 간격은 균열의 크기와 관련된다 엄밀해와 비교할 때 Kirchhoff 근사법은 정확한 시간 간격을 제공하나, 동일한 크기의 균열 선단 신호를 제공하는 부정확함이 있다.
