The sensor nodes of sensor network system are capable of wireless communication with sink nodes. They also acquire and transmit sensor data in broad region where people cannot access easily. However, the transmission of redundant data from sensor nodes reduces the lifetime of the entire system and substantial amount of resulted data needs to be resorted before implementing them to the specific applications. In this paper, the mobile agent middleware to eliminate the redundant sensor data is designed and implemented. In the proposed system, the mobile agent visits the destination sensor nodes according to the migration list offered by the meta table in the name space of the naming agent, eliminates the redundant sensor data corresponding to user condition, and acquires and transmits sensor data according to the purpose and needs. Thus, the excess transmission of the sensor data is avoided and the lifetime of the entire system can be extended. Moreover, the experiments using the mobile agent middleware with the conditions and limitations that are possible in real situation ore done to verify the successful elimination of the redundant sensor data and the efficiency of the data acquisition. Also, we show the potential applicability of the mobile agent middleware in various active sensor networks through the active rule based mobile agent middleware or the interaction with the active rule system.

1992년 전반기에 우리나라에 근해해운기업 3개사가 도산하였으며, 많은 그해해운기업이 심한 경영상의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 그러한 도산이유를 대별하면 기업 내적요인과 기업 외적요인으로 나눌 수 있을 것이다. 이 논문에서는 기업외적 요인의 하나로서 근해지역에 있어서의 선박의 과잉공급과 운임의 덤핑을 상정하고서 최근 소련의 연방해체 이후 극동지역에서 생성되기 시작한 러시아의 해운사기업의 생성배경 및 경영형태를 분석하고, 그러한 러시아의 해운사기업이 보유하고 있는 선박이 우리나라의 근해해운시장에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 뒤 이에 대처하기 위한 우리나라 해운정책의 기본방향을 제시한다. 이 논문의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 사용된 연구방법은 문헌조사, 현장조사, 그리고 면접법이다. 본 연구는 러시아 해운사기업의 생성근원이 되는 국영해운기업, 실제로 극동지역에서 경영되고 있는 러시아의 해운 기업 및 러시아 연방정부의 교통부산하 해운국을 방문하여 각 조직의 최고 책임자 및 주요 인사를 대상으로 면접과 현장조사를 실시하였으며, 일본 및 러시아의 해운연구기관의 주요인사와 우리 나라의 해운기업의 최고경영자들도 본 연구의 면접대상에 포함되었다. 이 연구에서 도출된 주요 결과로서는 첫째, 러시아의 해운사기업은 소련연방산하에 이었던 국영해운기업에서 제공된 매운 낮은 용선료의 선박과 우리나라의 근해선사 또는 대리점과의 노우 하우(know-how) 의 결합에 의해 생성되었으며 둘째, 그러한 매커니즘에 의해서 우리나라 근해지역에 영업활동중인 러시아 선박은 재화중량톤수 약 4천 내지 5천톤에 해당하는 하천.해상형태(river sea type)의 살물선으로서 총 40여척에 달하고 있으며, 셋째, 그러한선박의 용선료는 1992년 3월에 현재 우리나라 근해해운시장에서 형성된 용선료 수준의 50% - 60%에 해당하며, 넷째, 우리나라의 근해화물을 원활하게 확보.수송하기 위하여 일부의 선박은 편의치적국의 선적을 이용하여 운항되기도 한다. 이 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 한 정책적 제언은 경영기술, 자본력, 선박의 질적수준 및 경쟁의 측면에서 일본보다도 취약한 상태에 있는 우리나라의 근해해운을 성장.발전시키기 위해서는 정부는 먼저 연안해운에 적용시키고 잇는 면허제도를 점진적으로 개방화시켜 우리나라의 연안해운의 자본력을 증강시키고 경쟁원리에 의한 경쟁력을 제고시켜야 하며, 제 2선적제도의 발달과 해운경영의 국제성에 맞추어 근해해역에서 활동하는 우리나라의 선박에대해서 부분적으로 선박의 국적을 점차 개방시켜 나가는 정책을 검토해야 할 단계라는 것이다. 이러한 점에 있어서 지난 30여년간 외항해운부문에 중점을 두어온 우리나라의 해운정책은 이제 근해해운정책의 개발에도 관심을 기울여야 하는 전환점에 있다고 할 수있다.

The present work was undertaken to address the role of protein disulfide isomerase 2 (Pdi2) in the mercury-tolerance of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, using the Pdi2-overexpressing recombinant plasmid pYPDI2 and the corresponding vector plasmid pRS316. When exposed to mercuric chloride, the PDI2 overepxression cells grew significantly better than the vector control cells. They revealed the lower levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), when incubated with mercuric chloride for 6 h, than the vector control cells. The PDI2 overepxression cells contained the higher levels of total glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity than the vector control cells, after 6 h of incubation in mercuric chloride. However, the PDI2 overepxression cells contained similar levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, compared to those of the vector control cells. Taken together, the S. pombe Pdi2 promotes the tolerance against mercury toxicity through up-regulating total GSH and SOD and subsequently attenuating ROS and NO elevations.

This study aims to reveal whether attachment relationship with parents can differ from children being accepted and rejected in peer relations, and whether children's rejection sensitivity can differ from children having secure and insecure attachment relationship with parents. Subjects were 218 students in fifth and sixth grade of primary school. Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment(IPPA), Children's Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire(CRSQ), and peer relation sociometrics were used as measurements. The results showed that children in secure attachment with parents had lower scores on the subscales of CRSQ, such as anxiety, anger, belief, and psychological reaction, than children in insure attachment relationship with parents. And IPPA scores were higher in children being accepted in peer relation than children being rejected. These results can be considered that early attachment relationship with parents may influence children's rejection sensitivity and peer relation.

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe structural gene encoding bacterioferritin comigratory protein (BCP) was previously cloned using the shuttle vector pRS316 to generate the BCP-overexpressing plasmid pBCP10. The present work aimed to evaluate the thermoresistant properties of BCP against high temperature stress using the plasmid pBCP10. When the S. pombe cells were grown to the early exponential phase and shifted from $30^{\circ}C$ to $37^{\circ}C$ or $42^{\circ}C$, the S. pombe cells harboring pBCP10 grew significantly more at both $37^{\circ}C$ and $42^{\circ}C$ than the vector control cells. After 6 h of the shifting to higher incubation temperatures, they contained the lower reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrite content, an index of nitric oxide (NO), than the vector control cells. After the temperature shifts, total glutathione (GSH) content and total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were much higher in the S. pombe cells harboring pBCP10 than in the corresponding vector control cells. Taken together, the S. pombe BCP plays a thermoresistant role which might be based upon its ability both to down-regulate ROS and NO levels and to up-regulate antioxidant components, such as total GSH and SOD, and subsequently to maintain thermal stability.

$Prunus$ $mume$ was steamed for easier removal of the pulp. The steamed fruit pulp was vacuum dried and powdered. The steamed $Prunus$ $mume$ powder (SPP) was passed through a 250 ${\mu}m$ sieve, fluidized in a fluid-bed granulator, and then granulated by top-spraying with water (SPPGW) or the extract obtained from steam (SPPGE). Then the physicochemical and sensory properties of SPP, SPPGW, and SPPGE were evaluated. The flowability of powder (angle of repose $^{\circ}$) of SPP, SPPGW and SPPGE was $23.59^{\circ}$, $11.07^{\circ}$, and $13.94^{\circ}$, respectively. The water dispersibility of SPP, SPPGW, and SPPGE was 18.69, 10.04 and 6.00 sec, respectively. Also, the overall acceptance of SPP, SPPGW and SPPGE was 3.00, 3.44 and 6.56, respectively. In conclusion, SPPGE can be used as granular steamed whole fruit pulp with good powder flowability and dispersibility, and therefore consumer acceptance.

Bolton analysis is widely used to predict tooth size discrepancy. but its accuracy has been challenged. The purpose of this study was to describe true anterior tooth size discrepancies among orthodontic patients and to evaluate the factors that affect true anterior tooth size discrepancies. The subjects consisted of 80 patients with varying malocclusions (Class I. Class II. Class III. and Class III surgery) who were treated orthodontically. Pre-treatment models. set-up models from post-treatment models. and lateral cephalometric radiographs were analyzed The results were as follows. The means. the standard deviations. and ranges of anterior Bolton ratio in the present study were somewhat higher than those of Bolton's samples and Korean normal samples. The number of patients showing maxillary deficiency was larger than that of patients showing maxillary excess in view of true anterior discrepancies. There was a significant difference between anterior Bolton discrepancy from pre-treatment models and true anterior discrepancy from set-up models (p < 0.05) There was no significant difference in true anterior discrepancies among malocclusion groups (p > 0.05). And there was also no significant difference between the male and female groups (p> 0.05). Overbite and the incisal edge thickness of maxillary anterior teeth have little relationship with true anterior discrepancies. Multiple regression analysis showed that true anterior discrepancy was mainly determined by anterior Bolton ratio, upper incisor to occlusal plane angle after treatment. interincisal angle after treatment. and upper right lateral incisor width.

This paper describes a systematic way of simultaneously identifying the ambient pore pressure and the rigidity index $(=G/s_u)$ of soil by applying an optimization technique to the early part of piezocone dissipation test result. An analytical solution developed by Randolph & Wroth(1979) was implemented in normalized from to express the build-up and dissipation of excess pore pressures around a piezocone as a function of the rigidity index. An ambient pore pressure and optimal rigidity index were determined by minimizing the differences between theoretical and measured excess pore pressure curves using optimization technique. The effectiveness of the proposed back-analysis method was examined against the well-documented performance of piezocone dissipation tests(Tanaka & Sakagami, 1989), from the viewpoints of proper determination of selected target parameters and saving of test duration. It is shown that the proposed back-analysis method can evaluate properly the ambient pore pressure and the rigidity index by using only the early phase of the dissipation test data. Also, it is shown that the proposed back-analysis method permits the horizontal coefficient of consolidation to be identified rationally. Consideration for strain level of back-analyzed rigidity index shows that it corresponds to at least intermediate to large strain level.

Various kinds of reinforced soil methods have been developed by many researchers or companies for their economic merits mainly. These methods have generally used sandy soils which have high permeability as embanking or backfill material. That is because, if poor embanking materials, especially like a clayey soil which has very low permeability, are used in a reinforced soil embanking, and if excessive pore water pressure is produced by external factors, the friction resistance between reinforcing members and Boils decrease, as a result possible damage or collapse of the body of a reinforced embankment. In fact, clayey Boils can also be used as a embanking materials with reinforcement which has high permeable capacity, and are expected to be able to dissipate the excess pore water pressure effectively. In this study reinforcing effects have been examined through a serries of direct shear tests in which clayey soils are reinforced with nonwoven geotextiles of which permeability is very high and tensile strength is relatively weaker than geogrids which are usually used in reinforced soil wall. Even though such nonwoven geotextile are used as reinforcement of high saturated clayey soils. the test results show the possibility that nonwoven geoteztiles could be used as a reinforcement for reinforced soil walls effectively.
