We obtained a total of 36 GPS coordinates of the seven bat species of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Myotis ikonnikovi, M. nattereri, M. petax, Murina ussuriensis, Plecotus auritus, and Pipistrellus abramus. Characteristics of forests (forest type, age class, DBH class and crown density), terrain (aspect, slope and distance from mountain stream) and disturbance factors (distance from human residential areas and distance from cultivated areas) that bats have used as their habitats were revealed from the GIS analysis based on GPS coordinates of the 36 positions that bats were found. The bats-preferred forest type is broad-leaf forests (43%) with the trees of the 2th (31%) and 5th (31%) age class, the trees of sapling (36%) and large DBH class (31%), and sparse crown density (67%). Bats prefer the slop direction of the east (39%), the gradient below $15^{\circ}$ (61%), the ranges within 200 m from the mountain streams (92%), the ranges within 200 m near roads (89%), the ranges of 200-400 m from human residential areas (28%), and the ranges within 200 m from cultivated areas (36%).

4세대 이동통신시스템 '롱텀에볼루션(LTE)'의 핵심기술인 다중 송수신 (MIMO) 안테나 시스템은 추가적인 주파수나 송신전력의 할당 없이도 채널 용량을 안테나 수에 비례하여 증가시킬 수 있는 장점으로 인해 데이터 전송 속도를 획기적으로 늘리는 기술로 4세대 이동통신기술 진화의 핵심기술로 꼽히고 있다. 본 논문은 다중 송수신 안테나 시스템에서 사용되는 2개 이상의 DAC 대신에 고속 DAC와 아날로그 스위치를 각각 한 개씩 사용하여 기존 방식의 장점을 유지하며 설계비용 감소, 물리적 크기 축소화 등 경제적 효율을 증가시킬 수 있는 MIMO 시스템에서 데이터 컨버터를 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

WAVE(Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment)에서 V2V(Vehicle to Vehicle) 통신 시 OBU(On Board Unit)인 자동차 단말은 수신한 정보가 제대로 된 정보인지를 확인하는 과정에서 공인인증서가 필요하다. 동시에 자동차 단말은 이 공인인증서의 상태가 유효한 지를 확인해야 한다. 이것을 확인하는 방법은 자동차 단말이 도로변에 설치돼 있는 RSU(Road Side Unit)인 OCSP(Online Certificate Status Protocol) 서버에게 공인인증서의 상태 확인 요청을 하는 것이다. OCSP 서버는 자동차 단말의 요청에 응답하기 위해서 인증서 폐지 목록인 CRL(Certificate Revocation List)을 가지고 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 WAVE 시스템의 OCSP 서버가 공인인증서 상태 정보를 자동차 단말로 알려줄 수 있도록 하기 위해 CA(Certificate Authority)의 CRL 저장소로부터 CRL 을 업데이트 하는 프로토콜을 제안한다. OCSP 서버가 CRL 을 업데이트 할 때, OCSP 서버가 가지고 있는 CRL 과 CRL 저장소가 가지고 있는 CRL 의 값을 비교하여 두 값이 같은 경우에는 CRL 을 업데이트 하지 않도록 한다. OCSP 서버가 선택적으로 CRL 을 업데이트 함으로써 불필요한 부하를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This article discusses the issue of optimizing controller design issues, in which the artificial intelligence (AI) evolutionary bat (EB) optimization algorithm is combined with the fuzzy controller in the practical application of the building. The controller of the system design includes different sub-parts such as system initial condition parameters, EB optimal algorithm, fuzzy controller, stability analysis and sensor actuator. The advantage of the design is that for continuous systems with polytypic uncertainties, the integrated H2/H∞ robust output strategy with modified criterion is derived by asymptotically adjusting design parameters. Numerical verification of the time domain and the frequency domain shows that the novel system design provides precise prediction and control of the structural displacement response, which is necessary for the active control structure in the fuzzy model. Due to genetic algorithm (GA), we use a hierarchical conditions of the Hurwitz matrix test technique and the limits of average performance, Hierarchical Fitness Function Structure (HFFS). The dynamic fuzzy controller proposed in this paper is used to find the optimal control force required for active nonlinear control of building structures. This method has achieved successful results in closed system design from the example.

Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) 2a-knockout (KO) mice exhibit accelerated diet-induced obesity and are resistant to leptin-mediated adipostatic signaling from the hypothalamus to adipose tissue, with sustained food intake. However, the impact of Epac2a deficiency on hypothalamic regulation of sympathetic nervous activity (SNA) has not been elucidated. This study was performed to elucidate the response of Epac2a-KO mice to dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy and acute cold stress. Compared to age-matched wild-type mice, Epac2a-KO mice showed higher energy expenditures and expression of myogenin and uncoupling protein-1 in skeletal muscle (SM) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), respectively. Epac2a-KO mice exhibited greater endurance to dexamethasone and cold stress. In wild-type mice, exogenous leptin mimicked the responses observed in Epac2a-KO mice. This suggests that leptin-mediated hypothalamic signaling toward SNA appears to be intact in these mice. Hence, the potentiated responses of SM and BAT may be due to their high plasma leptin levels.

대부분의 포유동물들에서 수정전에 정자의 첨체반응이 일어난다고 알려져 있으며 첨체반응에서 $Ca^{2+}$ 이 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 단백질 또한 정자의 생리적 역할에 중요한 요소로 작용한다고 보고되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 동면동물의 부정소에서 정자성숙과정을 비교 관찰하고 성숙 과정에 있어 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도와의 연관성을 규명하고 정자성숙 전, 후에 정자성숙에 영향을 미치는 $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase, lactate dehydrogenase의 작용을 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 대표적 동면동물인 박쥐의 경우 활동기에 다른 동면동물인 햄스터, 항온동물인 생쥐와 마찬가지로 부정소미에서 정자성숙과정을 거쳤으며 교미시 대부분의 정자는 부정소미에서 더욱 활발한 운동성을 보였으며 부정소미 말에서 수정능획득 과정을 거치는 것으로 관찰되었다. 그러나 동면동물의 환경 조건 특히 온도의 변화가 부정소에서의 정자성숙과정에 영향을 주는지에 대해서는 더 자세한 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

Whole body energy balance is achieved through the coordinated regulation of energy intake and energy expenditure in various tissues including liver, muscle and adipose tissues. A positive energy imbalance by excessive energy intake or insufficient energy expenditure results in obesity and related metabolic diseases. Although there have been many obesity treatment trials aimed at the reduction of energy intake, these strategies have achieved only limited success because of their associated adverse effects. Serotonin is among those traditional pharmacological targets for anti-obesity treatment because central 5-HT functions as an anorexigenic neurotransmitter in the brain. Thus, there have been many trials aimed at increasing the activity of 5-HT in the central nervous system, and some of the developed methods are already used in the clinical setting as anti-obesity drugs. However, recent studies suggest the new functions of peripheral serotonin in energy homeostasis ranging from the endocrine regulation by gut-derived serotonin to the autocrine/paracrine regulation by adipocyte-derived serotonin. Pharmacological inhibition of 5-HT synthesis leads to inhibition of lipogenesis in epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT), induction of browning in inguinal WAT and activation of adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Fat specific Tph1 knock-out (Tph1 FKO) mice exhibit similar phenotypes as mice with pharmacological inhibition of 5-HT synthesis, suggesting the localized effects of 5-HT in adipose tissues. In addition, Htr3a KO mice exhibit increased energy expenditure in BAT and Htr2a KO mice exhibit the decreased lipid accumulation in WAT. These data suggest the clinical significance of the peripheral serotonergic system as a new therapeutic target for anti-obesity treatment.

This study aimed to describe the morphological and molecular characteristics of Paralecithodendrium longiforme (Digenea: Lecithodendriidae) adults and cercariae isolated in Thailand. Adult flukes were isolated from the Chinese pipistrelle bat (Hypsugo sp.), and cercariae were detected in the viviparid snail (Filopaludina martensi martensi) from Chiang Mai province. The morphological characteristics were observed and described using conventional methods, and the molecular characteristics with internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and 28S rDNA gene sequences. The adult flukes were fusiform, 0.84-0.98 mm in length, and 0.37-0.49 mm in width, and were distinguishable from other species by the presence of longitudinal uterine coils. The cercariae were nonvirgulate xiphidiocercariae, with the oral sucker bigger than the acetabulum, the tail without fin fold, a body size of 117.5-138.3×48.3-52.2 ㎛, and a tail size of 100.7-103.7×15.0-18.9 ㎛. Molecular studies revealed that the adults and cercariae shared 99.3% (ITS2) and 99.6% (28S rDNA) homology with each other. They were phylogenetically close to P. longiforme with an identity of 94.5% for ITS2 and 98.7% for 28S rDNA. This study provides new information on the natural definitive host and first intermediate host of P. longiforme in Thailand. The discovery of its cercarial stage in Filopaludina snails highlights the importance of monitoring the associated second intermediate host and prevention and control of this potentially zoonotic trematode.

Using the InfraRed Camera (IRC) on board the infrared astronomical satellite AKARI we study the ${3.3{\mu}m}$ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) feature and its connection to active galactic nucleus (AGN) properties for a sample of 54 hard X-ray selected bright AGN, including both Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 type objects. The sample is selected from the 9-month Swift/BAT survey in the 14-195 keV band and all of the sources have known neutral hydrogen column densities ($N_H$). The ${3.3{\mu}m}$ PAH luminosity ($L_{3.3{\mu}m}$) is used as a proxy for star-formation (SF) activity and hard X-ray luminosity ($L_{14-195keV}$) as an indicator of the AGN power. We explore for possible difference of SF activity between type 1 (un-absorbed) and type 2 (absorbed) AGN. We use several statistical analyses taking the upper-limits of the PAH lines into account utilizing survival analysis methods. The results of our log($L_{14-195keV}$) versus log($L_{3.3{\mu}m}$) regression shows a positive correlation and the slope for the type 1/unobscured AGN is steeper than that of type 2/obscured AGN at a $3{\sigma}$ level. Also our analysis shows that the circum-nuclear SF is more enhanced in type 2/absorbed AGN than type 1/un-absorbed AGN for low $L_{14-195keV}$ luminosity/low Eddington ratio AGN, while there is no significant dependence of SF activity on the AGN type in the high $L_{14-195keV}$ luminosities/Eddington ratios.

본 논문은, 개인 간 거래 C2C에 기반으로 해외직구 불법 거래에 관한 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 관세법에서는 해외직구 물품이 일정 금액 (미화 150불, 단 미국은 미화 200불)이하 또는 자가 사용 물품으로 인정되는 경우에만 제세를 면제토록 규정하고 있다. 과세를 면제받아 구매한 해외직구 물품을 온라인 등에서 되파는 행위는 무신고 밀수입죄에 해당한다. 그런데도 온라인 중고 사이트에는 이에 대한 되팔이가 증가하여 지속적인 관세법 위반이라는 사회적 이슈로 논란이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해외직구 관련 불특정 거래 내용을 수집하고, 정보를 빅데이터 방식으로 데이터를 정제하여, 자연어 처리 등을 통해 모니터링 시스템으로 설계하여 판매자와 유사한 형태를 보이는 키워드 분석, 거래방식 분석, 동일성 판별 등을 분석하였다. 해외직구 물품의 불법 거래 단속에 활용이 가능할 것이다.
