Objective: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a modified Double-Ovsynch protocol vs artificial insemination following estrus detection (AIED) for the enhancement of reproductive performance in Hanwoo cattle. Methods: Four hundred twelve Hanwoo cows were allocated to two treatment groups. The first group of cows were administered gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) on Day 36 (±0.6), prostaglandin F_2α (PGF_2α) on Day 46 (8 to 12 days later), and GnRH on Day 49, which was followed by Ovsynch, consisting of an injection of GnRH on Day 56, PGF_2α on Day 63, and GnRH 56 h and timed AI (TAI) 16 h later (modified Double-Ovsynch group, n = 203). The second group of cows underwent AIED (AIED group, n = 209) and were designated as controls. Results: The pregnancy per AI 60 days after the first AI was higher in the modified Double-Ovsynch (68.5%) than in the AIED (56.5%) group, resulting in a higher probability of pregnancy per AI (odds ratio: 1.68, p<0.05). Moreover, cows in the modified Double-Ovsynch group were more likely (hazard ratio: 1.28, p<0.05) to be pregnant by 150 days after calving than cows in the AIED group, and this difference was associated with a lower mean number of AIs per conception (1.27 vs 1.39, p<0.05) and a shorter median interval between calving and pregnancy (72 vs 78 days, p<0.1). Conclusion: The modified Double-Ovsynch protocol, adjusted according to the herd visit schedule, can be readily used to increase the pregnancy per AI following the first AI and to shorten the interval between calving and pregnancy in beef herds.

최근 정보통신 기술의 발전과 함께 M2M(Machine-to-Machine) 산업분야의 시스템이 다기능 고성능화 되고 있으며 IoT(Internet of Things), IoE(Internet of Everything)기술 등과 함께 많은 발전해가고 있다. 통신상 보안적인 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 인증, 기밀성, 익명성, 부인방지, 데이터신뢰성, 비연결성, 추적성 등이 충족 되어야 한다. 그러나 통신방식이 무선 전송구간에서는 공격자의 공격에 노출되어 있다. M2M 무선통신 프로토콜에서 보안상 문제가 생기면 시스템오류, 정보유출, 프라이버시문제 등의 심각한 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 프로토콜 설계는 상호인증과 보안이 필수적인 요소이며, 최근 보안통신프로토콜에 대한 분야가 매우 중요한 부분으로 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 안전한 통신프로토콜을 위해 해시함수, 난수, 비밀키 및 세션키를 적용하여 설계하였다. 제안 프로토콜이 공격자의 각종공격에 안전함을 증명하기 위해 프로토콜 정형검증도구인 Casper/FDR 도구를 이용하여 실험하였다. 실험결과 제안프로토콜은 안전성을 충족했으며 문제없이 종료됨을 확인하였다.

항해 중인 선박과 육상기지국간에 VHF 대역을 통해 다중-홉 데이터 통신을 수행하기 위해 애드-혹 자율 구성 TDMA (Ad Hoc Self-Organizing TDMA: ASO-TDMA) 방식이 제안된 바 있으며, 이를 통해 해로를 따라 넓은 영역에 걸쳐 항해 중인 선박들이 분산적으로 무선 자원을 공유하면서 다중-홉 애드-혹 네트워크를 구성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 마코프 체인 모델을 기반으로 ASO-TDMA 방식 매체접근제어 프로토콜의 평균 수율 성능을 분석한다. 또한, 모의실험을 통해 수학적 분석 결과를 검증하고, 각 홉 영역에서 부프레임의 크기와 선박의 수에 따라 수율을 최대화하기 위한 최적의 전송률이 존재함을 보인다.

The environmental pollution caused by green-house gases such as $CO_2$ and $SF_6$ has been becoming the main issue of industrial society. Many developed countries are making efforts to minimize the amount of $CO_2$ emission come from the operation of high voltage electrical apparatuses. As a part of these efforts, 180 countries signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to cut back on their green-house gas emissions. Nowadays, the study on the development of dry air insulated switchgear (DAIS) which is known as an eco-friendly electrical apparatus is in progress. A DAIS is advantageous for minimizing the effect of impurities and enhancing the dielectric characteristics over an air insulated switchgear (AIS) by applying constant pressure to an enclosed cubicle. Therefore, a study on the electrical insulation performance of dry air as a gaseous insulation medium is conducted in this paper to substitute a gas insulated switchgear (GIS) for DAIS. As results, it is verified that the AC dielectric characteristics of dry air are similar to those of air and the lightning impulse dielectric characteristics of dry air are superior to those of air at 1bar pressure condition. However, dry air is of inferior dielectric characteristics to $SF_6$ at 4bar pressure condition. Finally, it is suggested that the internal pressure of DAIS should be over 4bar pressure to develop a high voltage switchgear which has similar electrical performance to a conventional GIS. Also, the empirical formulae on calculating the maximum electric field intensity at sparkover of dry air are deduced by experiments according to pressures. It is expected that these results are helpful to design and develop a high voltage electrical apparatus.

해양 통신을 위한 VHF 대역 데이터 통신 시스템(VHF Data Exchange System: VDES)은 송수신단의 종류에 따라 서로 다른 주파수 대역을 사용하도록 설계되어 있으며, 육상국으로부터 멀리 떨어진 선박국에게 육상국과 연결성을 보장하기 위해 제안된 ASO-TDMA (Ad-hoc Self-Organizing TDMA) MAC 프로토콜을 이용하여 다중-홉 통신을 수행하는 경우에 주파수 채널간 부하 불균형 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 주파수 채널간 부하 불균형 문제를 해결하기 위해 통계적 기하(stochastic geometry) 모델링을 도입한다. 이를 기반으로 동일 홉 영역에서의 공간적 자원 재사용률을 분석하고, 각 홉 영역 별로 최적의 자원 할당을 통해 채널간의 부하 불균형 문제를 해결하여 자원 활용도를 극대화하는 것을 보인다.

Purpose: $S100{\beta}$, a marker of traumatic brain injury (TBI), has been increasingly focused upon during recent years. $S100{\beta}$, is easily measured not only in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) but also in serum. After TBI, serum S 10019, has been found to be increased at an early stage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical correlations between serum $S100{\beta}$, and neurologic outcome, and severity in traumatic brain injury. Methods: From August 2006 to October 2006, we made a protocol and studied prospectively 42 patients who visited the emergency room with TBI. Venous blood samples for $S100{\beta}$, protein were taken within six hours after TBI and vital signs, as well as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), were recorded. The final diagnosis and the severity were evaluated using the Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS), and the prognosis of the patients was evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS). Results: Thirty-eight patients showed a favorable prognosis (discharge, recovery, transfer), and four showed an unfavorable prognosis. Serum $S100{\beta}$, was higher in patients with an unfavorable prognosis than in patients with a favorable prognosis, and a significant difference existed between the two groups ($0.74{\pm}1.50\;{\mu}g/L$ vs $7.62{\pm}6.53\;{\mu}g/L$ P=0.002). A negative correlation existed between serum $S100{\beta}$, and the Revised Traumatic Score (R2=-0.34, P=0.03), and a positive correlation existed between serum $S100{\beta}$, and the Injury Severity Score (R2=0.33, P=0.03). Furthermore, the correlation between serum $S100{\beta}$, and the initial GCS and the GCS 24 hours after admission to the ER were negative (R2=-0.62, P<0.001; R2=-0.47, P=0.005). Regarding the GOS, the mean serum concentration of $S100{\beta}$, was $7.62\;{\ss}{\partial}/L$ (SD=${\pm}6.53$) in the expired patients, $1.15\;{\mu}g/L$ in the mildly disable patient, and $0.727\;{\mu}g/L$ (SD=${\pm}0.73$) in the recovered patients. These differences are statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: In traumatic brain injury, a higher level of serum concentration of $S100{\beta}$, has a poor prognosis for neurologic outcome.
