There are many new technologies developed these days and the companies try to assess their technologies in order to either get financial supports or verify how valuable they are. However, since not only so many innovative technologies have been developed, but also the areas are very diverse, it becomes really difficult to value the technologies by the conservative technology valuation systems. Especially, in the energy technology area, it is much harder because energy technology is mainly used for public purposes and there have not been many experiences of valuing technologies. In this paper, the objective and systematic technology valuation system tool for energy technology will be suggested and investigated.

Cancer is thought to be a direct result of transcriptional misregulation. Broad analysis of transcriptional regulatory elements in healthy and cancer cells is needed to understand cancer development. Nucleases regulatory domains are recruited to bind and manipulate a specific genomic locus with high efficacy and specificity. TALENs (transcription activator-like effector nuclease) fused to endonuclease FokI have been used widely to target specific sequences to edit several genes in healthy and cancer cells. This approach is promising to target specific cancer genes and for this purpose it is needed to pack such TALENs into viral vectors. There are some considerations which control the success of this approach, targeting appropriate sequences with efficient construction of TALENs being crucial factors. We face some obstacles in construction of TALENs; in this study we made a modification to the method of Cermk et al 2011 and added one step to make it easier and increase the availability of constructs.

Taking an opportunity of the application of clearcutting method, 140 red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) trees grown at Chon-nam province, the southern part of South Korea, were fellen and the tree height, clear-bole length, D.B.H. diameter at base(0.2m above from the ground line) and the length of the longest branch were measured. The correlation between factors mentioned were analysed. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The correlation between crown length and tree height (r=0.821) was sinificant. 2. The correlation between the diameter at base and D.B.H. was highly significant (r=0.961). D.B.H. can be calculated from multiplying the diameter at base by 0.88. 3. A weak relation between D.B.H and tree height was abserved. 4. The positive correlation between tree height and clear-bole-length was calculated, but it was not sharp between D.B.H. and the length of the longest branch. 5. The height, basal area, D.B.H. and volume increment by tree class calculated from the data of the stem analysis are presented (Tab. 3~10).

최근의 재해 발생은 하천에 의한 범람, 제방의 붕괴 등에 의한 피해발생보다는 일정지역에 국한적으로 내수배제 불량, 토사유출, 산사태 등으로 인한 피해의 발생이 증가하고 있다. 특히나 도시지역과 신규개발지역을 중심으로 집중호우로 인한 토사유출 등으로 인한 배수로 막힘, 산사태등의 2차적인 피해가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 2011년의 서울의 우면산 산사태 등과 같은 도시중심에서의 피해와 강원도 등의 신규개발지역에서의 토사로 인해 2차, 3차 피해는 국지적이고 예측이 불가능한 곳에서 발생되고 있다. 이러한 토사유출, 산사태에 의한 예측기법은 최근의 정보기술의 발달로 인해 보다 다양한 방법의 접근들이 시도되고 있으며, 이에 대한 정량적인 평가기법들이 개발되고 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산지지형의 소규모 개발지의 토사재해의 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 GIS 기술을 이용한 사면의 안정성과 산사태 위험성을 평가하는 대표적인 방법으로 Pack et al. (1998)이 제안한 수리적 무한사면 안정모델과 결합하여 사면안정분석을 위해 개발된 SINMAP을 이용하여 소규모 개발지역의 토석류 해석과 사면의 안정성 검토 그리고 범용토양공식을 이용하여 토사유출량을 산정하여 개발지역내 사면 및 토사재해의 위험성을 평가하였다. GIS를 이용한 지형적 특성에 따른 사면의 위험성과 토사유출량 해석 결과를 이용하여 소규모 개발지역의 토사재해의 위험성을 정량적이고 다각적으로 평가하여 재해발생에 따른 위험성을 노출하고 이에 대한 대책 수립에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The dry deposition velocities and fluxes of air pollutants such as SO2(g), O3(g), HNO3(g), sub-micron particulates, NO3(s), and SO42-(s) were estimated according to local meteorological elements in the atmospheric boundary layer. The model used for these calculations was the multiple layer resistance model developed by Hicks et al.1). The meteorological data were recorded on an hourly basis from July, 1990 to June, 1991 at the Austin Cary forest site, near Gainesville FL. Weekly integrated samples of ambient dry deposition species were collected at the site using triple-fiter packs. For the study period, the annual average dry deposition velocities at this site were estimated as 0.87$\pm$0.07 cm/s for SO2(g), 0.65$\pm$0.11 cm/s for O3(g), 1.20$\pm$0.14cm/s for HNO3(g), 0.0045$\pm$0.0006 cm/s for sub-micron particulates, and 0.089$\pm$0.014 cm/s for NO3-(s) and SO42-(s). The trends observed in the daily mean deposition velocities were largely seasonal, indicated by larger deposition velocities for the summer season and smaller deposition velocities for the winter season. The monthly and weekly averaged values for the deposition velocities did not show large differences over the year yet did show a tendency of increased deposition velocities in the summer and decreased values in the winter. The annual mean concentrations of the air pollutants obtained by the triple filter pack every 7 days were 3.63$\pm$1.92 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m3 for SO42-, 2.00$\pm$1.22 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m-3 for SO2, 1.30$\pm$0.59 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m-3 for HNO3, and 0.704$\pm$0.419 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m3 for NO3-, respectively. The air pollutant with the largest deposition flux was SO2 followed by HNO3, SO42-(S), and NO3-(S) in order of their magnitude. The sulfur dioxide and NO3- deposition fluxes were higher in the winter than in the summer, and the nitric acid and sulfate deposition fluxes were high during the spring and summer.

We investigate the optical properties of aerosols over Gongju by an indirect method using the pound measurement, Sky-radiometer. The analysis period is from January to December, 2004. Skyrad. pack.3 is used to estimate the optical properties, such as the aerosol optical thickness (AOT), single scattering albedo (SSA), ${\AA}ngstron$ exponent $({\alpha})$ and size distribution, of aerosols from the ground measured radiance data. And qualify control is applied to minimize the cloud-contaminated data and improve the quality of analysis results. The 12-month average of AOT, ${\alpha}$, and SSA are 0.46, 1.14, and 0.91, respectively. The average volume spectra of aerosols shows a bi-modal distribution, the first peak at fine mode and the second peak at coarse mode. AOT and coarse particles clearly increases while SSA decreases during the Asian dust events. The optical properties of aerosols at Gongju vary with?seasons, but those are not influenced by the wind direction.

Hash function is a cryptographic primitive which conduct authentication, signature and data integrity. Recently, Wang et al. found collision of standard hash function such as MD5, SHA-1. For that reason, National Security Research Institute in Korea suggests a secure structure and efficient hash function, LSH. LSH consists of three steps, initialization, compression, finalization and computes hash value using addition in modulo $2^W$, bit-wise substitution, word-wise substitution and bit-wise XOR. These operation is parallelizable because each step is independently conducted at the same time. In this paper, we analyse LSH structure and implement it over SIMD-SSE, AVX and demonstrate the superiority of LSH.

To investigate the change of nitric oxide(NO), copper, and zinc in serum on smoking and alcohol ingestion in young adults, this study was performed in a cross-sectional study in 127 healthy men in Korea who had HBsAg(-), HCVAb(-), and no symptomatic liver, heart, gastrointestinal, chronic diseases, and inflammatory sign(lower than 10,000 white blood cell count in CBC). At the men's entry into the study, blood samples were drawn from each subject and immediately centrifuged for analysis of NO, copper, and zinc. Each man completed a questionnaire that provided information on smoking, alcohol intake and present and past medical history NO was analyzed by HPLC(Green et al., 1982), copper and zinc by atomic absorption spectrophotometer with air-acetylene flame and total cholesterol(TC) by Spectrum EPX. Smoking(number of cigarettes per day and pack-year) and alcohol intake was grouped fertile. Copper was adjusted for age and zinc and for age and TC. NO, copper, and zinc on smoking and alcohol ingestion were analyzed in general linear models, respectively. NO, copper and zinc in serum did not show statistical differences between non-smoking and high-smoking group and no-alcohol intake and high-alcohol intake group. This study suggested that copper, zinc, and NO was not. good biological marker for early effect by smoking and alcohol intake in young adults. However, selection bias should be considered in evaluation of this result. A large prospective study will be needed in advance on usefulness of copper, zinc, and NO as a marker for risk factors and early change of atherosclerosis.

The present study was made with the aim of finding out the Kamihaepyoijin-tang's effect on the allergic asthma using the Egg-White Implant(EWI) method model recommended by de Siqueira et al. Kamihaepyoijin-tang has widely been prescribed and used in Oriental Medicine for controlling and curing of cough, asthma, nasal obstruction. Previous studies have demonstrated that Kamihaepyoijin-tang had analgesic, anticonvulsive effects. But it is uncertain whether Kamihaepyoijin-tang could inhibit the allergic reaction of rats with experimentally induced allergic asthma using EWI method. With such aim. the respiratory patterns and eosinophil infiltration in the tracheal mucosa of the rats were mainly observed. The results were summerized as follows ; 1. The frequency of malformed respiratory patterns in Kamihaepyoijin-tang treated groups were decreased as compared with the control group. 2. The Ratio of malformed respiratory patterns in Kamihaepyoijin-tang treated groups were significantly decreased as compared with the control group(p<0.02). 3. The eosinophil infiltration in Kamihaepyoijin-tang treated groups were decreased as compared with the control group. 4. The eosinophil infiltration that inside of trachea tissue in Kamihaepyoijin-tang treated groups were significantly decreased as compared with the control group(p<0.05). Depending upon above results, it is considered that Kamihaepyoijin-tang has the inhibitory effects on the allergic asthma of rats and suggested that it could be used in relieving patients of the symptoms which are caused by allergic asthma.
