Recently High-Definition Reference Korean-Man (HDRK-Man) and High-Definition Reference Korean-Woman (HDRK-Woman) were constructed in Korea. The HDRK phantoms were designed to represent respectively reference Korean male and female to calculate effective doses for Korean by performing Monte Carlo dose calculation. However, the Monte Carlo dose calculation requires detailed knowledge on computational human phantoms and Monte Carlo simulation technique which regular researchers in radiation protection dosimetry and practicing health physicists do not have. Recently the UFPE (Federal University of Pernambuco) research group has developed, and opened to public, an online Monte Carlo dose calculation system called CALDOSE_X(www.caldose.org). By using the CALDOSE_X, one can easily perform Monte Carlo dose calculations. However, the CALDOSE_X used caucasian phantoms to calculate organ doses or effective doses which are limited for Korean. The present study developed an online reference Korean dose calculation system which can be used to calculate effective doses for Korean.

The purpose of this study is to identify various issues contributing to the current issues of students not wanting to major in science and engineering. and further explore various strategies to encourage their higher education in the science and engineering area. The study administered survey on students' perception towards the science related profession including respondents' gender, grade, their attitude towards woman scientists, perception on the woman scientists, scientists as profession, their level of knowledge on the scientists, and if there is any they respect. The results indicated that overall perceptions on the scientists as career for high school students was positive, but there was more negative acceptance for the juniors since they are more concerned with their majors at the university: higher for students who are in the natural science area than the ones in the social science school since they are more directly related than others. The perception on the woman scientists and girls in the science and engineering majors was positive. However, there were some differences in the response level among the items. Among these, considering the job availability and conditions, the perception was more negative than the others. Also the result indicated that both boys and girls disagree that the science-related profession may be gender-inappropriate for girls due to physical and cognitive characteristics. Results also indicated the level of awareness among scientists, they had higher awareness for male scientists than that of the female, and also international ones than the national ones. And many girls did not have positive image of a successful woman scientists.

This research presents a laboratory study about a comparison between two methods that measure a hearing threshold of the Subjects who participated in an experiment of the Jury test. The Subjects heard a signal by a headphone. The Subjects of total 63 persons (man=42, woman=21 persons) participated in an experiment. A test of hearing was divided into two (Top-Down, Bottom-Up) methods. Total time of hearing test was about 80 minute(40min/day). As a results of the hearing test, a hearing threshold of the Subjects who used to wear a headphone was higher than that of the Subjects who not used to wear a headphone. A hearing threshold of a man was higher than that of a woman. The result of hearing test was showed that ISO's hearing threshold(MAF) was lower than a result that get from an experiment.

네트워크의 발달과 고성능 PC의 보급이 증가함에 따라 웹을 통한 이메일 사용량도 기하급수적으로 많아지고 있다. 또한 일반 사용자나 e-Commerce상에서 오가는 메일의 양도 갈수록 늘어나고 있다. 편리하다는 점을 이용해서 엄청난 양의 스팸메일도 매일 같이 쏟아져 나와 사회적 문제점으로 부각되고 있는 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 이메일 사용자 개개인에 맞게 메일을 자동 관리해주는 웹 메일 개인화를 위한 에이전트(An Agent for Web Mail Personalization)를 제안하고자 한다. 사용자가 새로운 메일을 받게 되면 먼저 사용자의 메일 처리과정을 학습하고, 각각 개인에 맞는 룰을 형성하고, 만들어진 개인적 룰(Personal Rule)를 바탕으로 메일을 자동 관리한다. 제안된 에이전트는 카테고리 설정, 카테고리별 분류 및 저장, 불필요한 메일이나 스팸메일을 자동 삭제 해 주는 것이다. 또한 자동분류 외에 수신된 메일에 대한 추천 카테고리(Recommendation Category)를 사용자에게 고려하게 하는 기능도 추가하였다.

협업 환경의 비즈니스 모델은 Web 2.0 과 같은 협업도구의 정보통신 기술의 발달로 효율성 측면에서 더욱 가속화되고 있다. 웹 2.0 기반의 Wiki 시스템은 협업 도구의 대표적인 시스템이다. 협업작업자는 협업 도구로 메신저, 메일, 게시판 등을 사용한다. 하지만 메일은 그룹작업자가 필요로 하는 자료와 정보를 공유하는 비동기적 협업도구로 사용되고 있다. 협업시스템에서 가장 대표적인 통신수단은 전자우편 또는 메신저라고 할 수 있다. 하지만 DokuWiki 는 협업 시스템으로 적합하지만 통신수단을 제공하지 않는다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 효율적인 협업작업을 위하여 개인 또는 그룹에 전송된 전자메일을 모두 공유할 수 있도록 하기 위해 전자우편 공유 시스템을 제안한다.

In this paper, we have proposed a new method to extract the fetal ECG from a pregnant woman's abdominal signal using least square acceleration (LSA) filter and adaptive impulse correlation (AIC) filter. To evaluate the performance, the proposed method and other fetal ECG extraction techniques were processed using the real ECG data and then the results were compared. According to comparative results, the proposed method is powerful and successful for extracting the fetal ECG. It was able to separate perfectly even though the fetal beats overlap with the QRS wave of the maternal beats and to extract fetal ECG using any single-channel abdominal signal measured from pregnant woman's abdominal surface. Also, it could be implemented easily by fast computation time and simple structure. It is sure that our method could be useful for portable fetal monitoring system.

Effects of Pb and $CO_2$ on soil microbial community associated with Pinus densiflora were investigated using community level physiological profiles (CLPP) and 16S rDNA PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) methods. Two-years pine trees were planted in Pb-contaminated soils and uncontaminated soils, and cultivated for 3 months in the growth chamber where $CO_2$ concentration was controlled at 380 or 760 ppmv. The structure of microbial community was analyzed in 6 kinds of soil samples (CA-0M : $CO_2$ 380 ppmv + Pb 0 mg/kg + initial, CB-0M : $CO_2$ 380 ppmv + Pb 500 mg/kg + initial, CA-3M : $CO_2$ 380 ppmv + Pb 0 mg/kg + after 3 months, CB-3M : $CO_2$ 380 ppmv + Pb 500 mglkg + after 3 months, EA-3M : $CO_2$ 760 ppmv + Pb 0 mg/kg + after 3 months, EB-3M : $CO_2$ 760 ppmv + Pb 500 mg/kg + after 3 months). After 3 months, the substrate utilization in the uncontaminated soil samples (CA-3M vs EA-3M) was not significantly influenced by $CO_2$ concentrations. However, the substrate utilization in the Pb-contaminated soil samples (CB-3M vs EB-3M) was enhanced by the elevated $CO_2$ concentrations. The results of principal component analysis based on substrate utilization activities showed that the structure of microbial community structure in each soil sample was grouped by Pb-contamination. The similarities of DGGE fingerprints were 56.3 % between the uncontaminated soil samples (CA-3M vs EA-3M), and 71.4% between the Pb-contaminated soil samples (CB-3M vs. EB-3M). The similarities between the soil samples under $CO_2$ 380 ppmv (CA-3M vs CB-3M) and $CO_2$, 760 ppmv (EA-3M vs EB-3M) were 53.3% and 35.8%, respectively. These results suggested that the structure of microbial community associated with Pinus densiflora were sensitively specialized by Pb-contamination rather than $CO_2$ concentration.

A psychrotrophic bacterium was isolated from oil-contaminated groundwater and identified as Rhodococcus sp. YHLT-2. Growth was observed at the temperature of 4 to $30^{\circ}C$. This strain degraded various petroleum hydrocarbons such as crude oil, diesel oil, and gasoline over the whole range of temperatures tested. The Rhodococcus sp. YHLT-2 was capable of growing even at $4^{\circ}C$, exhibiting 90% of oil biodegradation after 20 days. Degradation of crude oil occurred at low temperature in nature. This strain was also able to grow at 7% NaCl, and utilized not only short chain alkenes $(C_9\;to\;C_{12})$, but also a broad range of long chain alkenes $(C_{19}\;to\;C_{32})$ present in crude oil at $4^{\circ}C$. The Rhodococcus sp. YHLT-2 is expected to be of potential use in the in situ bioremediation of hazardous hydrocarbons under low-temperature and high-salt conditions.
