Though the number of completely sequenced genomes quickly grows in recent years, the methods to predict protein functions by homology from the genomes have not been used sufficiently. It has been a successful technique to construct an OPCs(Orthologous Protein Clusters) with the best reciprocal BLAST hits from multiple complete-genomes. But it takes time-consuming-processes to make the OPCs with manual work. We, here, propose an automatic method that clusters OPs(Orthologous Proteins) from multiple complete-genomes, which is, to be extended, based on INPARANOID which is an automatic program to detect OPs between two complete-genomes. We also Prove all possible clustering mathematically.

Blast Hardened Bulkhead (BHB) is an important measure that can increase the ship's survivability as well as protect the lives of the crew by mitigating the damage extent caused by an internal explosion in the ship. In particular, both the pressure and the shock impulse should be considered when designing the BHB against reflected shock waves having a high pressure with a short duration. This study proposes a design method for BHB that considers both the pressure and the shock impulse generated during the internal explosion. In addition, analysis and design concepts for accident loads such as explosion, fire, and collision of NORSOK and DNVGL, one of the international design guidelines for the curtain plate type blast hardened bulkhead type applied by the Korean Navy, are utilized. If this method is applied, it is expected that it can be used as a design concept for the pressure as well as the shock impulse of the explosion load of the curtain plate.

Nine plant growth regulators (PGRs) were tested for in vivo antifungal activities against on rice blast. They showed higher in vivo antifungal activities when they were applied on rice plants by soil drench rather than foliar spray. Except for 2,4-D at $500\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, the others showed a very low or no activity against the disease in foliar spray applications. In contrast, 2,4-D, indole butyric acid (IBA) and triiodobenzoic acid, at $500\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, showed control values of 98.9, 97.8 and 88.9% in soil drench applications. Furthermore, the control activity of IBA was dependent on its concentration against rice blast; IBA suppressed the development of rice blast by 71.7% at $125\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ and 85.8% at $250\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. IBA also controlled the development of rice blast on adult plants by 63.9% at a dosage of 2.56 kg/10a. The results revealed that IBA has a good activity against rice blast when it is applied by soil drench.

It was difficult to apply conventional excavation methods in some sections from Seoul to Pusan high speed rail road construction of 1 lot 2, due to highway concrete road, gas pipe, water pipe and nearby factories with automatic control system machine. To excavate safely and efficiently in these sections new blast patterns were employed within allowable blast vibration level, by test blast and controlled vibration by sequential blast. Behaviors of the rock mass including convergence and displacement around tunnel were measured with construction works and the crack width in concrete wall was also monitored for controlling allowable limits. The results can be summarized as follow : 1. The allowable blast vibration level in structure site is less 1.0cm/sec for highway concrete, 0.5 cm/sec for gas pipe, water pipe and building housing and 0.3 cm/sec for automatic control system machine. 2. The convergence displacement, single rod extensometer and multi rod extensometer around tunnel and cracks in concrete wall were measured, it was confirmed that the measured values were converged within allowable level. 3. The empirical formular of ground vibrations with 90% confidence lines for PD-3 was given as follow. $$V_{90%}=45.549({\frac{D}{\sqrt{W}}})^{-1.353}$$

In this paper, we propose and observe a system that adopts Independent-MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level for each layer in the combined AMC-V-BLAST (Adaptive Modulation and Coding-Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) system. In addition, we consider the throughput performance of combined AMC-V-BLAST system using STD (Selection Transmit Diversity) and Independent-MCS level. Also, comparing with the combined system using Common-MCS level, we observe throughput performance improvement. As a result of simulation Independent-MCS level case adapts modulation and coding scheme for maximum throughput to each channel condition in separate layer, resulting in improved throughput compared to Common-MCS level case. Especially, the results show that the combined AMC-V-BLAST system with Independent-MCS level achieves a gain of 700kbps in $7{\sim}9dB$ SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) range and the combined AMC-V-BLAST system with STD and Independent-MCS level achieves a gain of 350kbps in the same SNR range.

Rice blast, caused by a fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases of rice worldwide. Analyzing the valuable genetic resources is important in making progress towards blast resistance. Molecular screening of major rice blast resistance (R) genes was determined in 2,509 accessions of rice germplasm from different geographic regions of Asia and Europe using PCR based markers which showed linkage to twelve major blast R genes, Pik-p, Pi39, Pit, Pik-m, Pi-d(t)2, Pii, Pib, Pik, Pita, Pita/Pita-2, Pi5, and Piz-t. Out of 2,509 accessions, only two accessions had maximum nine blast resistance genes followed by eighteen accessions each with eight R genes. The polygenic combination of three genes was possessed by maximum number of accessions (824), while among others 48 accessions possessed seven genes, 119 accessions had six genes, 267 accessions had five genes, 487 accessions had four genes, 646 accessions had two genes, and 98 accessions had single R gene. The Pik-p gene appeared to be omnipresent and was detected in all germplasm. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that Pita, Pita/Pita-2, Pi-d(t)2, Pib and Pit were the major genes responsible for resistance in the germplasm. The present investigation revealed that a set of 68 elite germplasm accessions would have a competitive edge over the current resistance donors being utilized in the breeding programs. Overall, these results might be useful to identify and incorporate the resistance genes from germplasm into elite cultivars through marker assisted selection in rice breeding.

One of the most important design criteria in military tunnels and armoured doors is to resist the blast loads with minimum structural weight. This can be achieved by using steel sandwich panels. In this paper, the nonlinear behaviour of steel sandwich panels, with different core materials: (1) Hollow (no core material); (2) Rigid Polyurethane Foam (RPF); and (3) Vulcanized Rubber (VR) under free air blast loads, was investigated using detailed 3D nonlinear finite element models in Ansys Autodyn. The accuracy of the finite element model proposed was verified using available experimental test data of a similar steel sandwich panel tested. The results show the developed finite element model can be reliably used to simulate the nonlinear behaviour of the steel sandwich panels under free air blast loads. The verified finite element model was used to examine the different parameters of the steel sandwich panel with different core materials. The result shows that the sandwich panel with RPF core material is more efficient than the VR sandwich panel followed by the Hollow sandwich panels. The average maximum displacement of RPF sandwich panel under different ranges of TNT charge (1 kg to 10 kg at a standoff distance of 1 m) is 49% and 53% less than the VR and Hollow sandwich panels, respectively. Detailed empirical design equations were provided to quantify the maximum deformation of the steel sandwich panels with different core materials and core thickness under a different range of blast loads. The developed equations can be used as a guide for engineer to design steel sandwich panels with RPF and VR core material under a different range of free air blast loads.

With the development of modern society, there have been great technical advances, and the meaning, shape, and type of preservation objects have also become diverse. However, the legislation of executives established in 1961 has nt yet been revised realistically. Thatses administrative problems related to the usge and storage of explosives. In this study, the cases of civilian's question and thought that had been submitted to the government agency were surveyed. In order to analyze the effects of preservation object, ENPro3.1, which is a simulation program to analyze the sound pressure, was used to estimate the blast pressure when a magazine containing preservation objects exploded. With the damage due to the blast pressure, the problem with the safe distance depending on the preservation object levels was investigated. From the investigation, the blast pressures in the two cases with the artificial structures at the real distance 309 m and without the artificial structures at the legitimate standard space distance 440 m, were found to be 123 dB(L) and 138 dB(L), respectively. That means the influence of blast pressure in shorter distance with artificial structures is 15 dB(L) lower than longer distance without them. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the preservation distance based on the engineering analysis with a consideration of surrounding environment.

A numerical analysis was made to investigate the intensity diminution of a simple silencer for high pressure blast flow fields. Reynolds-Averaged Wavier-Stokes equations were solved for an axisymmetric computational domain constructed by multi block Chimera grids. A blast flow field without the silencer was also calculated to validate the present numerical method. The evolution of high pressure blast flow fields was observed by depicting calculated contours of pressure and Mach number. It was found that the tested silencer could achieve 76 percent intensity diminution.
