Among trip distribution models, The BPR type Gravity Model is the one which is the most widely used. The key issue associated with this model is a functional form of friction factor which should be calibrated in the process, and interpretation for socioeconomic factor known as K-factor(Kij) which is used to adjust the difference between observed zone-to-zone trips and the estimated trips. In this study, the BPR type Gravity Model has been fitted to 1990 O/D data for Seoul. Two type of function form for friction factor has been employed : one is a form of Generalized function and the orther is UTP function. With above two function, the parameters for travel distance(Skin-tree) are prepared. The relationship between socioeconomic factor and trips is identified by calculating and analyzing the characteristics of Kij. Consequently, both of the friction factor functions are statistically signified. However, it show an overestimation tendency when estimated with UTP function. It is found that the Generalized function is suitable for the city of Seoul, and also, in case there are a lot of trips correlatively, the socioeconomic factor is close to 1, on the other hand if it's small, it shows a bias which is dispersed around 1.

The general wavelet transform has profitable property in non-stationary signal analysis specially. The tunable Q-factor wavelet transform is a fully-discrete wavelet transform for which the Q-factor Q and the asymptotic redundancy r, of the transform are easily and independently specified. In particular, the specified parameters Q and r can be real-valued. Therefore, by tuning Q, the oscillatory behavior of the wavelet can be chosen to match the oscillatory behavior of the signal of interest, so as to enhance the sparsity of a sparse signal representation. The TQWT is well suited to fast algorithms for sparsity-based inverse problems because it is a Parseval frame, easily invertible, and can be efficiently implemented. The transform is based on a real valued scaling factor and is implemented using a perfect reconstruction over-sampled filter bank with real-valued sampling factors. The transform is parameterized by its Q-factor and its over-sampling rate, with modest over-sampling rates being sufficient for the analysis/synthesis functions to be well localized. This paper describes filter design of 2D discrete-time wavelet transform for which the Q-factor is easily specified. With the advantage of this transform, perfect reconstruction filter design and implementation for performance improvement are focused in this paper. Hence, the 2D transform can be tuned according to the oscillatory behavior of the image signal to which it is applied. Therefore, application for performance improvement in multimedia communication field was evaluated.

Fatigue life estimation by the theoretical stress concentration factors are, in general, considerably different from test results. And in calculating stress concentration factor, it is very difficult to consider actual geometry and material property which are the notch shapes, imperfections or defects of materials such as porosities inclusions and casting defects, etc. Therefore, the paper deals with the experimental method to find out the more exact stress concentration factors by measuring the strain distributions on each specimen by 3D-ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) System. Then the fatigue lives are compared between theoretical calculations using stress concentration factors determined by 3D-ESPI system and fatigue test results.

Aspergillosis is a life-threatening disease in individuals with compromised immune systems. Fungal invasion is a highly critical process during host cellular infection. Several papers have reported that transcription factors are responsible for the infection process. To investigate what transcription factors are involved in the process in an effort to inhibit fungal infection into cells, I checked the surfactant protein family and PU.1 transcription factor levels in A549 cells infected with A. fumigatus conidia. PU.1 and surfactant protein-D levels were reduced in cells infected with fungal conidia. I then observed an increase in surfactant protein-D on PU.1-overexpressed cells. Infection of A. fumigatus conidia was decreased in PU.1-overexpressed cells, whereas the suppression of PU.1 did not lead to any changes in cases of A. fumigatus conidia infection. These results indicate that PU.1 inhibits the infection of A. fumigatus conidia via the expression of surfactant protein-D, suggesting that PU.1 is a key transcription factor for protection against A. fumigatus invasion.

The study aimed to evaluate the appearance of the men's work clothes jumpers developed to suggest the prototype work clothes jumper patterns by using the 3-D clothing simulation technology. The 3-D simulated clothing images considered the upper body features of men in the age range between 20 and 59 in South Korea. A questionnaire survey conducted previously suggested a basic jumper style with shirt collar and snap opening cuffs for the heavy industry workers; and discomforting parts of the work clothes jumper of the subject workers have been referred to for the experimental jumper appearance test. Besides, defining the measurements of men's upper bodies enabled to generate the men's 3-D virtual models representing each age group's average body feature. The significant body measurement factors for men's 3-D body modeling and jumper pattern-making were stature for the height factor; chest, waist and hip circumferences for the circumference factor; waist back, hip and arm lengths and interscye front/back for the length factor; and back neck breadth for the breadth factor and armscye and scye depths for the depth factor. The men's body measurements of 30's were implemented to three experimental jumper pattern-making methods, i.e. the 1st method using the relations based on stature and chest circumference; the 2nd method using the direct body measurements; and the 3rd method adopting the maximum ease amount of given body measurements whether relations or direct measurements except the direct measurement of scye depth. A comparison among the three experimental jumpers' simulated images highlighted that the appropriate ease amount of the jumper gained higher scores in terms of the jumpers' front, side, back and sleeve parts and the total silhouettes. Therefore the 3rd experimental jumper was finally selected for the heavy industry workers.

The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in national R&D research outcomes in science and technology according to gender. For this purpose, the analysis was conducted by mapping WoS SCI(E) papers from 1990to 2018 and NTIS R&D papers from 2007 t0 2016. As a result of examining the differences in research achievements in science and technology according to gender based on three bibliometic indicators - average Times cited, Time-lag, and Impact factor - we found that the overall topography of research achievement was still male-centered, and the differences in the main research area between male and female were also very prominent. On the other hand, in top 10 research areas, it was confirmed that female researchers' outcomes were higher in the number of Times cited and Impact factor.

It is investigated that in what shape the stress concentration factor of a notched strip under pure bending changes due to unsymmetrically varying notch angle. Four models made of CR-39, having parameters of r/d-0.225, h/r=4; r/d=0.225, h/r=2; r/d=0.4, h/r=4 and r/d=0.4, h/r=2 respectively as shown in Fig.1, Fig.2 and Table are tested with the use of polariscope. For each model, notch angle is unsymmetrically varied from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ at intervals of $15^{\circ}$ as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The results of this experiment are Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 and the following are deduced. As notch angle increases 1) from $0^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$, the decrement of concentration factor is slight. 2) from $50^{\circ}$ to 90, the decrement of concentration factor is a little steeper. 3) from $30^{\circ}$ to $140^{\circ}$, the decrement of concentration factor is slight. 4) from $140^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$, the decrement is very steep with an abrupt with an abrupt change in the neighborhood of $140^{\circ}$.

Let a and b be positive even integers. An even [a, b]-factor of a graph G is a spanning subgraph H such that for every vertex v ∈ V (G), d_H(v) is even and a ≤ dH(v) ≤ b. Let κ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex set S such that G - S is disconnected or one vertex, and let σ₂(G) = min_uv∉E(G) (d(u)+d(v)). In 2005, Matsuda proved an Ore-type condition for an n-vertex graph satisfying certain properties to guarantee the existence of an even [2, b]-factor. In this paper, we prove that for an even positive integer b with b ≥ 6, if G is an n-vertex graph such that n ≥ b + 5, κ(G) ≥ 4, and σ₂(G) ≥ ${\frac{8n}{b+4}}$, then G contains an even [4, b]-factor; each condition on n, κ(G), and σ₂(G) is sharp.

Tissue factor (TF, tissue thromboplastin or coagulation factor III) accelerates the blood clotting, activating both the intrinsic and the extrinsic pathways to serve as a cofactor. In order to isolate TF inhibitors from the fruits of Chaenomeles sinensis, an activity-guided purification utilizing a bio-assay method of prothrombin time prolongation, was carried out to yield five active flavoniods such as hovetrichoside C (1) ($IC_{50}$ = 14.0 $\mu$g), luteolin-7-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucuronide (3) ($IC_{50}$ = 31.9$\mu$g), hyperin (4) ($IC_{50}$ = 20.8 $\mu$g), avicularin (6) ($IC_{50}$ = 54.8 $\mu$g) and quercitrin (10) ($IC_{50}$ = 135.7 $\mu$g), along with other inactive compounds such as ($\pm$)-(2E,4E)-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-4'-hydroxy-$\beta$-ionylideneacetic acid ester (2), genistein-7-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (5), luteolin-3'-methoxy-4'-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (7), luteolin-7-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucuronide methyl ester (8), tricetin-3'-methoxy-4'-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (selagin-4'-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside) (9), (-)-epicatechin (11), luteolin-4'-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (12) and apigenin-7-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucuronide methyl ester (13). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated through spectral analysis. Among them, compounds 1 to 9, 12 and 13 were isolated for the first time from the fruits of this plant and the compound 9 is a new flavonoid.

Amongst various analytic methods of internal structure of city, the factor analysis method which uses O-D matrix data has some merits and characteristics compared to other methods. 1) It is possible to find one certain interaction and flow pattern between traffic zones with in a city through reanalyzing O-D data which is too complex to grasp specific meaning or pattern of flow systems. 2) It can be easily visualized the traffic flow pattern by using adequate graphic techniques, and also can clarify the functional areas whose interaction linkages are significantly strong enough between each other. In this study, the taxi traffic O-D data between 42 traffic zones in Kwang-ju city was reanalyzied by varimax rotated factor analysis methods. As a result, four factors that have significant level factor loading (over 0.5 ) and factor score (over 1.0) were sorted out. so to speak four different functional areas were clarified in Kwang-ju city, of the West, the East, the south, and the North functional areas whose interaction linkages are significantly strong enough between each other. In the study, the taxi traffic O-D data between 42 traffic zones in Kwang-ju city was reanalyzied by varimax rotated factor analysis methods. As a result, four factors that have significant level factor loading (over 0.5) and factor score 9over 1.0) were sorted out. so to speak four different functional areas were clarified in Kwang-ju city, of the West, the East, the South, and the North functional area, then these four functional areas are almost coincided with citizen's general conception of community division and administrative district. Accordingly the factor analysis methods using traffic data seems to proved to be very accurate and useful analytic instruments for analyzing flow pattern and clarifying functional areas of city, and believed to provide basic informations and criteria for practical urban land use planning and transportation planning.
