To maintain the stability during the operation of railway vehicle, the perfect installation of rail, namely the orbit as well as the performance of the railway vehicle itself is required. The orbit of railway needs the intensity and elasticity that stands the shock and vibration due to the weight of the railway vehicle enough. Also, the driving safety during the operation of vehicle should be guaranteed, comfortable feeling of the passenger should be maintained, and the influence of the noise and vibration to the environs should be minimized. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a program that calculates the change of construction cost according to the selection of railway orbit. This study introduces the orbit design automation program according to the selection of railway orbit, and discuss the principle and the way to use of the program.

제품계열공학에서 feature diagram(FD)은 개발자의 직관이나 도메인 전문가의 경험에 근거하여 작성되어, feature간의 공통성 및 가변성분석 기준이 불명확하며 비정형적인 feature의 공통성 및 가변성 분석으로 인한 stakeholder의 공통된 이해가 부족한 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 공통된 feature의 이해를 위해 feature 속성리스트에 기반한 메타 feature모델과 feature간의 의미유사성관계를 이용한 온톨로지를 적용한 공통성 및 가변성 분석모델을 제안한다.

The DCT algorithm needs an efficient hardware architecture to compute inner product. The conventional design method, like ROM-based DA(Distributed Arithmetic), has large hardware complexity. Because of this reason, a CSHM(Computation Sharing Multiplication) was proposed for implementing inner product by Park. However, the Park's CSHM has inefficient hardware architecture in the precomputer and select units. Therefore it degrades the performance of the multiplier. In this paper, we presents the optimization design method for inner product using CSHM algorithm and applied it to implementation of 1-D DCT processor. The experimental results show that the proposed multiplier is more efficient than Park's when hardware architectures and logic synthesis results were compared. The designed 1-D DCT processor by using proposed design method is more high performance than typical methods.

This paper proposes a knowledge-based expert system. which is assembled into hardware organized with sensor module. AID converter, USB. data acquisition PC and software composed of monitoring and diagnosis module combined with a frame-based method using Sohre's chart and a rule-based method. Vibration signals using various sensors are acquired by AID converter. transferred into PC and processed to obtain a continuous monitoring of the machine status displayed into several plots. Through combining frame-base which covers wide vibration causes with rule-base which gives relatively specified diagnosis results, high accuracy of fault diagnosis can be guaranteed and knowledge base can be easily extended by adding new causes or symptoms. Some examples using experimental data show the good feasibility of the proposed algorithm for condition monitoring and diagnosis of industrial rotating machinery.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 50% ethanol extracts of ripe black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis, RBR) on hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The final systolic blood pressure of the group treated with RBR for 12 weeks was significantly lower than that of the SHR group. The mRNA expression level of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) was significantly decreased in SHR. However, treatment with RBR and captopril increased the level of eNOS mRNA in SHR. Moreover, plasma levels of homocysteine and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 were significantly reduced by RBR. Plasma total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were lower in SHR than Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). However, there was no significant difference in plasma triglyceride level between WKY and SHR. The number of eosinophilic cardiac muscle cells was reduced in heart muscles after treatment with captopril and RBR. Therefore, this study suggests that RBR extracts may be useful for improvement of hypertension.

We investigated the effects of water extracts of unripe black raspberry (UBR) and red ginseng (RG) on cholesterol synthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase activity, and expression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related genes in HepG2 and Caco-2 (human hepatoma and intestinal cell lines, respectively). Our results showed that cholesterol synthesis and HMG-CoA reductase activity in HepG2 cells were inhibited by UBR and RG. Further, co-treatment with UBR and RG had a greater effect than did treatment with either UBR or RG. In Caco-2 cells, treatment with UBR and RG increased the expression of LDL-regulated genes, such as LDL receptor and SREBP-2, and also upregulated the level of HDL-associated ABCA1. Moreover, co-treatment with UBR and RG appeared to be more effective than treatment with either UBR or RG. Taken together, our results indicate that UBR and RG regulate the level of HDL-associated ABCA1 via signaling pathway, thereby preventing cholesterol synthesis.

Plant project is a complex project that consists of civil engineering, building, mechanical and electronic works. The schedule management is one of important factors in plant project because the construction duration of the project is very short comparing with the other construction projects. Specially, 4D CAD system needs to visualize construction schedule information in those complex projects. This study suggests methodologies for improving 4D CAD functions by considering those project characteristics. To develop a plant 4D CAD system, this study includes to develop new functions by analyzing actual schedule information from the plant construction sites.

Suspension noise from under a passenger car is one of the important factors that impact the perceptual quality for drivers. However, it is difficult to validate this by component level testing in the early stage of development, because suspension noise caused by interaction of the related parts has been found at saleable vehicles late during development or at the manufacturing stage, when many customers have already filed for claims. This study proposed a validation testing under research by the DFSS process that enables reproduction of vehicle level noise by component level testing using a shock absorber with the related parts, such as urethane bumper and top mount. This study also developed a compromised test matrix while analyzing the noise factors through experimental design and analysis of variance to determine what factors can affect noise. Based on this study, we expect that the vehicle level and customer claim can be validated during initial development timing by a more reliable component noise validation test.

The specific immune response of unripened fruits and ripened fruits of Rubus coreanus Miquel was examined in BALB/C mice. The 70% ethyl alcohol extracts (20 or 100 mg/kg) of unripened fruits (RCE-I) and of ripened fruits (RCE-II) were administered p.o. once a day for 7 days. RCE-I and RCE-II decreased the viability of thymocytes, but increased the viability of splenocytes. Also, RCE-I enhanced the population of helper T and cytotoxic T cells in thymocytes and RCE-II enhanced the population of helper T cells. Furthermore, RCE-I and RCE-II decreased the population of B220/sup +/ cells and Thy1/sup +/ cells and helper T cells in splenocytes. In a general way, the immunosuppressive action of RCE-I was more potent than those of RCE-II. These results suggest that RCE-I and RCE-II have a regulative action of immune response via decrease the viability of thymocytes and increase the viability of splenocytes.
