A probabilistic micromechanical framework is proposed to quantify numerically the self-healing capabilities of polymers containing microcapsules. A two-step self-healing process is designed in this study: A probabilistic micromechanical framework based on the ensemble volume-averaging method is derived for the polymers, and a hitting probability model combined with a crack nucleation model is then utilized for encountering microcapsules and microcracks. Using this framework, a series of parametric investigations are performed to examine the influence of various model parameters (e.g., the volume fraction of microcapsules, microcapsule radius, radius ratio of microcracks to microcapsules, microcrack aspect ratio, and scale parameter) on the self-healing capabilities of the polymers. The proposed framework is also implemented into a finite element code to solve the self-healing behavior of tapered double cantilever beam specimens.

A cycle in a graph G that contains all of its vertices is said to be the Hamiltonian cycle of that graph. A Hamiltonian graph is one that has a Hamiltonian cycle. This article discusses how to create a new network from an existing one, such as the Enhanced Honeycomb Network EHC(n), which is created by adding six new edges to each layer of the Honeycomb Network HC(n). Enhanced honeycomb networks have 9n² + 3n - 6 edges and 6n² vertices. For every perfect sub-Honeycombe topology, this new network features six edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles, which is an advantage over Honeycomb. Its diameter is (2n + 1), which is nearly 50% lesser than that of the Honeycomb network. Using 3-bit grey code, we demonstrated that the Enhanced Honeycomb Network EHC(n) is Hamiltonian.

The antioxidant activity of white ginseng was not recorded in Korea Functional Food Code, while its activity of red ginsengs was recorded. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and hepato protective effect of different ginsengs in H₂O₂-treated HepG2 cells. White and red ginseng were prepared from longitudinal section of the same fresh ginseng (4-year old). The whole parts of white and red ginsengs were separately extracted with 70% ethanol and distilled water respectively, at 70 ℃ to obtain therapeutic ginseng extracts namely, WDH (distilled water extract of white ginseng), WEH (70% ethanol extract of white ginseng), RDH (distilled water extract of red ginseng) and REH (70% ethanol extract of red ginseng). In this work, we have investigated the DPPH, hydroxyl radical, Fe²⁺-chelating activity, intracellular ROS scavenging capacity and lipid peroxidation of different ginsengs. All these extracts showed a dose dependent free-radical scavenging capacity and a ROS generation as well as lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced by treatment with bioactive extracts of white ginsengs (WDH) than red ginsengs. Additionally, white ginseng extracts (WDH) has dramatically increased intracellular antioxidant enzyme activities like superoxide dismutase and catalase in H₂O₂-treated HepG2 cells. All these results explain that administration of white ginseng is useful as herbal medicine than red ginseng for chemoprevention of liver damage.

This study was conducted to develop an HPLC method for determining vitamin B$_{12}$ in fortified foods which has typically been determined by microbiological assays according to AOAC and Korean Food Code approved methods. Vitamin B$_{12}$ (cyanocobalamin) was determined by reversed-phase HPLC with a triple column and UV/VIS dectector (550 nm) using the column switching technique after extraction with 5 mM potassium phosphate solution by sonication without a clean-up procedure. The recovery of spiked samples and limit of detection (LOD) by HPLC were 78.6 ∼107.5 % and 2 ppb ($\mu\textrm{g}$/kg), respectively. The LOD of the microbiological assay (MBA) was much lower than that of HPLC. The concentrations of vitamin B$_{12}$ analyzed in all tested samples (n=12) confirmed compliance with declared label claims. The range of recovery ratio by the HPLC method when compared to the microbiological assay was 76.2 ∼140.0 %. There was not significant difference between the HPLC and MBA methods (p < 0.01) with r=0.9791 and linear regression y=0.9923x-0.04. The HPLC method for determining vitamin B$_{12}$ using the column-switching technique appears to be suitable for determining vitamin B$_{12}$ concentrations above 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100 g in fortified foods.ied foods.

국내 블록암호표준(안)으로는 SEED암호가 있다. 이 암호는 한국정보보호진흥원(KISA)이 1998년 10월에 초안을 설계하고 같은 해 12월에 공개검증과정을 거쳐 안전성과 성능이 개선된 최종 수정안을 발표하였다. DES와는 달리 128비트 블록암호로서 여러 과정을 거쳐 2005년에 국제표준으로 확정되었다. DES와 같은 페이스텔 구조를 가진 블록암호로서 다만 입력비트블록이 DES의 두 배인 128비트로 늘어났다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 첫째, SEED 암호의 일반적인 알고리즘을 소개하고 F-함수에서 적용되는 열쇠 값의 생성원리를 수학적으로 분석해 보았다. 둘째, S-함수의 8비트 입력 값에 대응되는 원시원소 ${\alpha}$ 의 멱승 값을 계산하는 표를 도출해 보았으며 마지막으로 G-함수 내에 설계되어져 있는 S-함수의 계산 원리를 수학적인 방법으로 새로운 정리와 예제를 통해 분석해 보는 것으로 한정하였다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 현재 알려져 있는 SEED암호의 취약점을 보완할 수 있는 새로운 암호체계를 개발하는데 필요한 아이디어와 이론적인 근거를 제공하는 데 어느 정도 도움이 되고자 한다.

Progress in phylogenomic analysis has led to a considerable re-evaluation of former cyanobacterial system, with many new taxa being established at different nomenclatural levels. The family Geminocystaceae is among cyanobacterial taxa recently described on the basis of polyphasic approach. Within this family, there are six genera: Geminocystis, Cyanobacterium, Geminobacterium, Annamia, Picocyanobacterium, and Microcrocis. The genus Geminocystis previously encompassed two species: G. herdmanii and G. papuanica. Herein, a new species G. urbisnovae was proposed under the provision of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). Polyphasic analysis was performed for five strains from the CALU culture collection (St. Petersburg State University, Russian Federation), and they were assigned to the genus Geminocystis in accordance with high 16S rRNA gene similarity to existing species, as well as because of proximity to these species on the phylogenetic trees reconstructed with RaxML and Bayes methods. Plausibility of their assignment to a separate species of the genus Geminocystis was substantiated with smaller cell size; stenohaline freshwater ecotype; capability to complementary chromatic adaptation of second type (CA2); distinct 16S rRNA gene clustering; sequences and folding of D1-D1' and B box domains of the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer region. The second objective pursued by this communication was to provide a survey of the family Geminocystaceae. The overall assessment was that, despite attention of many researchers, this cyanobacterial family has been understudied and, especially in the case of the crucially important genus Cyanobacterium, taxonomically problematic.

This study aims to identify high exposure tasks among the tasks performed in domestic nuclear power plants as a basis for developing training programs to improve the efficiency of workers' work. To this end, we first analyzed the exposure status of radiation work in domestic nuclear power plants. Radiation tasks in nuclear power plants were categorized, collective doses were investigated, and the collective doses were calculated based on the collective doses, and representative high exposure tasks were identified. We found that the collective and individual doses in domestic nuclear power plants are continuously decreasing, but there is an imbalance of exposure among workers. In terms of work classification, nuclear power plants are managed in 236 work codes based on light water reactors and 181 work codes based on heavy water reactors, depending on the work equipment and location. Among the total work codes, 23 codes have an annual average dose exceeding 10 μSv, and based on this, 10 representative high exposure tasks were derived. The representative high exposure tasks were selected as S/G nozzle dam work, S/G debris removal work, nuclear instrumentation system, S/G eddy current detection work, and insulation work. The results of this study are expected to serve as an important basis for reducing the exposure of workers in nuclear power plants and improving work efficiency.

LDPC 부호는 4G 이동통신 시스템에 적합한 오류 정정 부호이다. 그러나 알고리듬의 특성상 좋은 BER 성능을 위해서는 반복 복호에 의한 많은 연산량이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 복호지연과 전력 소모에 대한 복호기의 성능을 증가시키기 위하여 반복 복호 횟수를 줄이는 알고리듬에 대하여 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 현재 LLR 복호값과 이전 LLR 복호값 사이의 변화를 측정하고 변화 방향을 예측하며, 패리티 검사식을 만족시켜 수렴속도를 높이도록 LLR 값의 sign 비트를 반전시킨다. 실험결과, 제안한 방법은 BER 성능의 감소 없이 반복 복호 횟수를 약 33% 정도 줄이는 것이 가능하며 감소된 반복 복호 횟수에 비례하여 소모 전력도 감소시킬 수 있다.

The problem of earthquake induced torsion in buildings is quite old and although it has received a lot of attention in the past several decades, it is still open. This is evident not only from the variability of the pertinent provisions in various modern codes but also from conflicting results debated in the literature. Most of the conducted research on this problem has been based on very simplified, highly idealized models of eccentric one-story systems, with single or double eccentricity and with load bearing elements of the shear beam type, sized only for earthquake action. Initially, elastic models were used but were gradually replaced by inelastic models, since building response under design level earthquakes is expected to be inelastic. Code provisions till today have been based mostly on results from one-story inelastic models or on results from elastic multistory idealizations. In the past decade, however, more accurate multi story inelastic building response has been studied using the well-known and far more accurate plastic hinge model for flexural members. On the basis of such research some interesting conclusions have been drawn, revising older views about the inelastic response of buildings based on one-story simplified model results. The present paper traces these developments and presents new findings that can explain long lasting controversies in this area and at the same time may raise questions about the adequacy of code provisions based on results from questionable models. To organize this review better it was necessary to group the various publications into a number of subtopics and within each subtopic to separate them into smaller groups according to the basic assumptions and/or limitations used. Capacity assessment of irregular buildings and new technologies to control torsional motion have also been included.
