The ship's seakeeping performance in the pitching and roll motion was felt tired. These gives structural loads to loaded with cargo and hull facilities. Be to improve, small catamaran power yacht designed a data for ship research and ship's hull form to be decided. In this study, based on domestic release for coastal marine environment in the interpretation criteria were chosen based on the exercise performance. The seakeeping performance of marine leisure catamaran was based on voyage speed. The seakeeping performance estimates based on the encounter angle, the wave of the encounter frequency response amplitude ratio for exercise was assessed in the high performance area.

The control surface on a ship is to control the motion of it in forward and backward states. In this paper, the measured results has been compared with each other to predict the backward flow characteristics of the single rudder's 2-dimensional section at $Re=2.0\times10^4$ using 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method especially, The separation region appears at 10 to 20 degrees angle of attack in a forward state. The separation point and boundary layer demonstrate in the same angle of attack compared it with the forward states.

This paper deals with the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy. The effectiveness of investments for hydrogen energy R&D and constructions of hydrogen energy infrastructures can be evaluated by the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy, and it is evaluated by an AHP(analytic hierarchy process) method. The evaluation indices of the national competitiveness are selected as the technical level, the number of researchers, the investments for R&D, and the infrastructure of hydrogen energy. Similarly, the technical level is divided into the number of published papers, the number of foreign patents, and the number of published proceeding papers. The evaluation indices of the technical level and the number of researchers were investigated by database searches. It appears that South Korea locates the sixth position in the world. The results of our study suggest that South Korea is relatively competitive in the technical level and the number of researchers. However, our country needs the long-term and well-focused R&D, and the expansion of infrastructures to enhance the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy in the future.

This paper deals with an economic evaluation of domestic window type photoelectrochemical hydrogen production utilizing solar cells. We make some sensitivity analysis of hydrogen production prices by changing the values of input factors such as the initial capital cost, the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency, and the system duration time. The hydrogen production price of the window type photoelectrochemical system was estimated as 1,168,972 won/$kgH_2$. It is expected that hydrogen production cost can be reduced to 47,601 won/$kgH_2$ if the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency is increased to 14%, the system duration time is increased to 20,000 hours, and the initial capital cost is decreased to 25% of the current level. We also evaluate the hydrogen production cost of the water electrolysis using the electricity produced by solar cells. The corresponding hydrogen production cost was estimated as 37,838 won/$kgH_2$. The photoelectrochemical hydrogen production is evaluated as uneconomical at this time, and we need to enhance the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency and the system duration time as well as to reduce prices of the system facilities.

Developing economic traits with a high growth rate, robustness, and disease resistance in livestock is an important challenge. RFLP and AFLP are the classical methods used to develop economic traits. Whole-genome-based economic traits have recently been detected with the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. However, NGS technologies are rather costly for use in studies, and RNA-seq, RAD-Seq, RRL, MSG, and GBS have been used to overcome the issue of high costs. In this study, recent NGS-based studies were reviewed, particularly those that focused on minimum costs and maximum effects. Then, we presented further prospects on how to apply for selection of high economic-trait livestock.

Atopic dermatitis induced NC/Nga mice were used to investigate the efficacy of BDH(Baedokhwan) on the recovery of dermatitic symptoms through its influence on the immune related factors and histological changes. First of all, BDH treated group showed improvement of atopic dermatitis with naked eye observation, and significant decrease of clinical index(CI) was observed after 14 weeks. And Infiltration of leukocytes was suppressed in BDH treated group, and the thickness of hypertrophied epidermis and dermis were decreased. In dorsal skin, BDH treated group showed significant decrease of the ratio of CD3+, CD11b+/Gr-1+ immune cells by 52.8%, 25.2, respectively. And also significant decrease the level of IL-5 mRNA and IL-13 mRNA by 44.4%, 28.0, respectively. In PBMC and serum, BDH treated group showed an decrease of CD4+/CD45+, B220+/CD23+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD25+ immune cells by 35.0%, 12.6%, 42.7%, 31.6% and 55.6%, respectively, and the level of histamine was decreased by 39.0%. The results above indicated that BDH clinically used for atopic dermatitis treatment has objective validity, and therefore can be provided as the basic data for anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory studies.

Atopic dermatitis induced NC/Nga mice were used to investigate the efficacy of HYT on the recovery of dermatitic symptoms by how HYT influenced the immune related factors. The results are as below: 1. Compared to the control, HYT treated group showed recovery of atopic dermatitis by the naked eye observation, and significant reduction of dermatits index was observed after 14 weeks. 2. HYT treated group showed significant decrease of the ratio of CCR3+, B220+/IgE+, and Gr-1+/CD11b+ immune cells in dorsal skin by 40.5%, 34.2%, and 48.1%, respectively. 3. HYT treated group showed increase in the ratio of CD19+ immune cells within PBMC by 10.8%, as well as decrease in CD3+, CD3+/CD69+, NKT+ ratios by 5.3%, 35.2%, and 44.9%, respectively. 4. HYT treated group showed increase in the expression of IFN-$\gamma$ in serum by 589.3%, whereas the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, TNF-$\alpha$, MCP-1 and RANTES were decreased by 31.4%, 82.1%, 97.1%, 39.5%, 83.7%, 26.1%, 48.6%, respectively. A 47.2% decrease in IgE expression was also observed. The results above strongly supported the improvement of atopic dermatitis by HYT treatment through immune modulation. Further studies on the synergistic effect of each ingredients of HYT and therapeutic effects according to the dosage of each ingredient should be followed for clinical applications. This work was (partly) supported by the RIC program of MKE(Ministry of Knowledge Economy) in Daejeon University.

We studied the antioxidant activity of Suaedajaponica, found in Korean mud flats. A 70% ethanol extraction yielded 9.74%. The 70% ethanol extract was further fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. The water fraction resulted in the highest extraction yields, but the ethyl acetate fraction resulted in the highest total phenol content and also total flavonoid content. The antioxidative activity of the fractions was evaluated using several methods and compared to commercial antioxidants. The scavenging activities of the hydroxyl radical, hydrogen radical, hydrogen peroxide, and xanthine oxidase of the ethyl acetate fraction were equivalent to that of BHA. The scavenging activities of the hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, and xanthine oxidase of the ethanol extracts were approximately 80~90% of that of BHA.

In this paper, the Bit Error Ratio (BER) performances of the D8PSK modulation schemes for VDL Mode-2 are analyzed according to the matched and unmatched cases of the channel filters. The carrier frequency and phase offset effects are analyzed with unmatched case. Generally in digital transmission techniques, the Root Raised Cosine filters which are used as channel filters are applied to both sides at transmitter and receiver in order to achieve no ISI, but in VDL Mode-2, the Raised Cosine Filter is used only in transmission section and the receiver section uses general low pass filter, therefore we could not achieve ISI reduction effects but can have better spectrum quality. From the simulation results, the error probability is increased slightly (1~2dB) with use of un-matched channel filter, we got the conclusions that carrier phase offset do not effect to bit error ratio, but the frequency offset effect is so serious. Finally, narrow band D8PSK modulation signals are generated by the use of Digital Up-Converter and then its features are compared with analog modulator.
