Purpose : To evaluate our clinical experience with the combination of teletherapy and intraluminal brachytherapy in patients with unresectable or inoperable esophageal cancers. Materials and Methods : From Nov 1989 to Mar 1993, twenty patients with esophageal cancer were treated with radical radiotherapy and intraluminal brachytherapy at Yonsei Cancer Center. All patients had squamous histolgy and stage distribution was as follows: stage II, 4($20{\%}$)patients; III, 15 ($75{\%}$)patients; IV, 1($5{\%}$)patients. A dose of S-12Gy/1-3weeks with intraluminal brachytherapy (3-5Gy/fraction) to 5mm from the outside of the esophageal tube using high dose rate Iridium-192 remotely afterloading brachytherapy machine was given 2 weeks after a total dose of 59-64Gy with external radiotherapy. Induction chemotherapy using cisplatin and 5-FU was performed in 13 patients with median 3 cycles(1-6 cycles), Response rate, local control rate, survival and complications were analysed retrospectively. Results : Two-year overall survival rate and median survival were $15.8{\%}$ and 13.5 months. Response rates were as follows complete remission(CR) 5($25{\%}$): partial remission a(PRa) 7($35{\%}$): partial remission b(PRb) 7($35{\%}$), no response(NR) 1($5{\%}$). Patterns of failure were as follows; local failure 13($65{\%}$), local and distant failure 3($15{\%}$), distant failure 0($0{\%}$). Ultimate local control rate was $20{\%}$. Treatment related complications included esophageal ulcer in two patients and esophageal stricture in one. Conclusion : Though poor local conrol rate, median survival was improved as compared with previous results of radiation therapy alone(8months) and chemoradiation combined treatment(11 months) in Yonsei Cancer Center High-dose-rate intraluminal brachytherapy following external irradiation is an effective treatment modality with acceptable toxicity in esophageal cancer.

In this paper a novel tracking system is described, regarding the influence of shadow between array, aimed at improving the efficiency of PV tracking system. Comparing with a building site versus capacity power, domestic solar powers have a limited siting. Therefore, each array interferes with the shadow of other arrays. The loss by influence of those shadow can be compensated for by means of control algorithm of the tracking device. The paper suggests a method controlling an altitude for length which is received the shadow influence of PV array. By using an azimuth of current solar position and the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device is able to calculate the length between actual arrays and make a comparison of the shadow length at a specific time with the length between arrays. When the shadow length is longer than the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device can adjust a position by compensating error altitude of the length between arrays at an altitude of current solar position. In the paper, we develop the control algorithm able to minimize the loss caused by the influence of shadow on the PV tracking system, and compared this with conventional output system. The controller has been tested in the laboratory with proposed algorithm and shows excellent performance.

A compensation scheme for a class of linearly parameterized systems is presented. The compensator consists of a typical linearizing control and an adaptive observer with integration type update law, which is based on Speed Gradient (SG) algorithm.. Instead of the intermediate functions of the compensation schemes suggested by other researchers, the proposed compensator is designed with some design functions which guarantee the growth, convexity, attainability, and pseudo gradient conditions in the update law. The scheme achieves the asymptotic stability of the tracking error and the boundedness of the estimation errors. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed design.

Current security efforts provided in such as firewall or IDS (intrusion detection system) of the network level suffer from many vulnerabilities in internal computing servers. Thus the necessity of secure OS is especially crucial in today's computing environment. This paper identifies secure OS requirements, analyzes tile research trends for secure Linux in terms of security kernel, and provides the descriptions of the multi-level security(MLS) Linux kernel which we have implemented. This security kernel-based Linux meets the minimum requirements for TCSEC Bl class as well providing anti-hacking, real-time audit trailing, restricting of root privileges, and enterprise suity management functions.

워크플로우 시스템은 한 조직체 내에서 운용되는 정보와 제어의 흐름을 효과적으로 자동화 해주는 역할을 담당해야 한다. 그러나 기업내의 실제업무에는 많은 변수들이 존재하고 다양하게 변화하고 있다. 또한 시스템이 분산 컴퓨팅화되어 가기 때문에 그 흐름을 추적, 관리의 차원을 넘어서 업무들의 최적화, 통합화는 물론 분산된 시스템내 서버들 관리까지도 개입을 해야한다. 또한 특정작업의 과부하 또는 병목현상을 운용자가 개입하여 방지하고 개선함으로서 전체 작업의 효율을 향상시켜야 한다. 이에 운용관리 툴도 독립 서버로 존재하는 것보다 여러 개의 서버로 분산시켜 구축함으로써 수행 객체들을 효율적으로 통제할 수 있다. 또한, 시스템을 구성하고 있는 서버들의 관리도 중앙에서 모든 것을 통제하는 것보다 각각의 분산된 운용 서버들이 각각 관리함으로써 신뢰성, 안정성의 한계를 극복할 수 있다. 국제표준기구 역할을 하고 있는 WfMC(Workflow Management Coalision)에서 제시한 표준 모델을 근거로 각각의 인터페이스 규약에 따라 시스템을 개발하는데 있어 실질적인 기업의 업무에 적용되기에는 턱없이 부족한 점들을 이 논문을 통해 지적한다. 또한 좀 더 빠르게 변화하는 사회에 적격인 적응형(Adaptive) 워크플로우 관리 시스템의 특성을 지니도록 했다. 그리고 데이터베이스의 트랜잭션의 개념을 워크플로우 레벨에서 업무들의 수행시 에러나 장애시 복구처리 메커니즘으로 설계하고 구현을 하였다.

In this paper proposed the solar tracking system to use a fuzzy based on PC in order to increase an output of the PV array. The solar tracking system operated two DC motors driving by signal of photo sensor. The control of dual axes is not an easy task due to nonlinear dynamics and unavailability of the parameters. The fuzzy control made a nonlinear dynamics to well perform and had a robust and highly efficient characteristic about a parameter variable as well as a nonlinear characteristic. Hence the fuzzy control was used to perform the tracking system after comparing with error values of setting-up, nonlinear altitude and azimuth. In this paper designed a fuzzy controller for improving output of PV array and evaluated comparison with efficient of conventional PI controller. The data which were obtained by experiment were able to show a validity of the proposed controller.

Noise estimation and suppression are a crucial factor of many speech communication and recognition systems. In this paper, proposed algorithm is based on the ratio of variance normalized of noisy power spectrum in time-frequency domain. Our proposed algorithm tracks the threshold and controls the trade-off between residual noise and distortion. This algorithm is evaluated by the ITU-T P.835 signal distortion (SIG) and segment signal to noise ratio (SNR), and is superior to the conventional methods.

The marine industry is rapidly developing as a result of the increase in various needs in the marine environment. In addition, accidents involving ship fires and explosions and the resulting casualties are increasing. Generally, manpower and safety problems exist in fire fighting. A fire fighter in the form of an autonomous surface robot would be ideal for marine fire safety, because it has no manpower and safety problems. Therefore, an autonomous surface robot with the abilities of fire recognition and tracking, nozzle selection, position and attitude control, and fire fighting was developed and is discussed in this paper. The test and evaluation results of this robot showed the possibility of real-size applications and the need for additional studies.
