Two tests were introduced for comparing several survival functions with doubly interval-censored data and illustrated with data surveyed by Korean Cancer Prevention Study (Jee et al., 2005). The test which extended Kim et al. (2006)'s test to the doubly interval-censored data has an advantage over Sun (2006)'s test in terms of saving computation time because the proposed test only depends on the size of risk set, and also the proposed test is applicable to continuous failure time data as well as discrete failure time data unlike Sun's test. Comparing male with female groups on the incubation time of diabetes was highly different and the survival of female group was longer than that of male one. Regardless of gender, the difference in survival functions of four age groups was highly significant with p-value of less than 0.001. This trend was more remarkable for female group than for male one. Simulation results showed that the significance level of both tests was well controlled and the proposed test was better than Sun's test in terms of power.

The effects of environmental factors (density, light, temperature) and live food on growth and survival rate of zoea and mysis of fleshy shrimp, Penaeus chinensis, were examined. The percent survival rates at the culture densities of 200 and 300 larvae per liter were significantly higher than that of 500 larvae per liter (p< 0.05). The percent survival rates at the culture densities of 100, 200, 300 and 500 larvae per liter were $90.3^{ab},\;95.2^a,\;94.3^a\;and\;86.7^b\%$ (p< 0.05). The effects of light conditions with diatom premix diet showed that continuous light was the best for the survival rate, $96.5\%$. Natural light and continuous darkness showed the survival rates $79.0\%\;and\;4.3\%$, respectively. On the rearing temperature, the survival rates were $97.3\%\;at\;19^{\circ}C\;and\;96.7\%\;at\;22^{\circ}C$ with little difference but the higher temperature resulted in faster growth. The survival rate was $51.6\%;at\;25^{\circ}C$ thus showing significant decrease compared to $19^{\circ}C\;and\;22^{\circ}C$. At this temperature the growth was also suffered. With regard to dietary value of live food, both the best survival rate and the fastest growth were obtained when 6 mixed species of diatom (A. normaii, C. simplex, N closterium, P. tricornutum, S. costatum and T. weissflogii) were provided. When single species was supplied the best survival rate $(82.1\%)$ was obtained with S. costatum, but the other species resulted in much inferior survival rates $(below\;80.0\%)$ and poor growth.

This study was to investigate the vitrification method for cryopreservation technique of bovine in vitro fertilization(IVF) embryos. The morphological appearance and viability following vitrification of IVF bovine blastocysts and expanded blastocysts were examined. Embryos obtained 6, 7, 8 or 9 days after IVF were vitrified in both 40% ethylene glycoI(EG) plus 0.3M trehalose and 20% polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) in DPBS(ETP, Exp. 1) and ETP solution added 0.375M dextrose (ETPD, Exp. 2). The viability of Days 6, 7, 8 and 9 vitrified /thawed embryos at 24∼48 h culture after thawing was 11.9%, 19.8%, 23.4% and 15.3% in ETP(Exp. 1), and 34.6%, 54.5%, 37.9% and 13.0% in ETPD(Exp. 2), respectively. The viability of vitrified embryos produced from the culture days after IVF did not differ in Exp. 1, but significantly differ in Exp. 2(P＜0.05). The viability of blastocysts and expanded blastocysts significantly differed(P＜0.05) in 15.2% and 23.3%(Exp. 1), and 25.0% and 45.8%(Exp. 2). The result of Exp. 1 was similar to that of Exp. 2 on the viability of embryo according to developmental stages, but ETP solution plus sugar(dextrose) was increased the viability of vitrified embryos. In Experiment 3, The viability of vitrified embryos was not different between 12% and 20% PVP concentrations in ETP solution according to culture days or developmental stages. To investigate the effect of addition of sugar, two type of carbohydrates and a mixture of cryoprotectants for vitrification on the survival of bovine IVF embryos, bovine Days 7 to 9 blastocysts and expanded blastocysts were cryopreserved in either 20% glycerol plus 20% EG, 0.375M sucrose and 0.375M dextrose (GESD, Exp. 4) or 20% glycerol plus 20% EG, 0.3M trehalose and 20% PVP(GETP, Exp. 5) in DPBS. Survival rates of Day 7, 8 and 9 embryos at 24∼48h culture after thawing were 71.4%, 94.6% and 40.5% in GESD, and 59.5%, 81.5% and 62.5% in GETP, respectively. Hatching rates of Day 7, 8 and 9 embryos after thawing were 28.6%, 35.1% and 16.2% in GESD, and 27.0%, 33.3% and 18.8% in GETP, respectively. These results indicates that a mixture of cryoprotectants(glycerol and EG) and addition of sugar can improve the survival rates of the bovine IVF embryos(Day 7 or 8) vitrified, and the expanded blastocyst embryos are more suitable for vitrification than early blastocysts stage.

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the tolerance of trochophores for pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii and Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas using different concentrations of cryoprotectants : dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol, glycerol and 1,2-propanediol. Each cryoprotectant with different concentrations was exposed for 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes of immersion time. Survival rates were increased with decreased concentrations of cryoprotectant and decreased immersion time, and these differed from types of cryoprotectant. Survival rates of Pacific oyster trochophores were higher in DMSO and ethylene glycol, while those of pearl oyster trochophores were higher in glycerol and 1,2-propanediol. In case of trochophores from Pacific oyster, when 0.2 M sucrose was added in each cryoprotectant the survival rates were increased significantly.

In the case of On-demand routing protocol in cognitive radio ad-hoc networks, broadcasting of control packets may occur common control channel overload and packet collisions during the routing procedure. This situation is to increase the overhead of path finding and also limited to find the accurate and reliable path. Since reliable channel and path finding is restricted, path life time is shorten and path reliability is reduced. In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm that reduces control channel overhead and increases path life time by considering the probability of appearance of primary user and channel status of neighbor nodes. Each node performs periodic local sensing to detect primary user signal and to derive primary user activity patterns. The probability of primary appearance on the current channel and the channel status can be obtained based on the periodic sensing. In addition, each node identifies the quality of the channel by message exchange through a common channel with neighbor nodes, then determines Link_Levels with neighbor nodes. In the proposed method, the Link Level condition reduces the number of control messages that are generated during the route discovery process. The proposed method can improve path life time by choosing a path through Path_Reliability in which stability and quality are weighted depending on the location. Through simulation, we show that our proposed algorithm reduces packet collisions and increases path life time in comparison with the traditional algorithm.

Purpose: To determine the effect of marketed multipurpose contact lens solutions (MPSs) on human corneal epithelial cells (HCEpiCs) toxicity by using image analysis. Methods: HCEpiCs were exposed six MPSs (product A-F) at 0.05~50% for 2h, 12h, 24h, and 48h respectively. HCEpiCs were fixed and stained with Draq5 after exposure with MPSs, and the cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by using confocal microscope and ImageXpress UltraTM. Results: Viabilities of HCEpiCs exposed to MPS A-F for a 2h were not affected, while reductions (52~75%) in cell viability over a 12h exposure of MPS B, MPS C, MPS D and MPS F, and significant more reductions (29~73%) over a 24h and 48h-exposure. Apoptosis of HCEpiC was not affect over a 12h MPS exposure, however was significantly increased (199~526%) over 24h and 48h MPS exposure. Among the products MPS D, E and F reduced viability of HCEpiCs and apoptosis increased more than MPS A (p<0.05). Conclusions: Lower concentration of MPSs have not an cytotoxic effect on HCEpiCs, however higher concentration of MPSs induce apoptosis and reduce viability of HCEpiCs. Therefore, it need to develop MPS having antimicrobial effectiveness with low cytotoxicity.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크의 성능을 판단하는 중요한 지표로 감지된 정보를 실시간으로 전송하는 능력과 네트워크의 최대 생존시간을 들 수 있다. 하지만 대부분의 무선센서 에너지원은 배터리로 구성되어 있음으로 인해 실시간 정보전송을 위해 통신모듈의 전원을 자주 사용하게 되면 조기에 네트워크의 생존력을 잃게 되는 문제가 발생할 수 있으며 그와 반대로 에너지소모를 낮추기 위해 전송 주기를 길게 하면 전송지연이 발생되어 위급한 상황에서 시스템이 즉시 대응하지 못하는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 통신모듈을 DUAL BAND로 이중화하고 송수신모드를 세분화하여 각 모듈에 공급되는 에너지를 상황에 맞게 제어하는 방법을 제안하며 제안한 방법을 적용하여 에너지 소모량과 전송지연시간을 계산한 결과, 중요한 군사적 목적이나 위험방지를 위한 실시간 감시 목적으로 사용할 경우 실시간전송과 효율적 에너지사용을 동시에 만족시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.
