The current trend toward the utilization of the Internet as a common means for the offer of heterogeneous services imposes to address the issues related to end-to-end service assurance in the inter-domain scenario. In this paper, we first present an architecture for service management in networks based on service level specifications (SLS). The architecture is designed to be independent both of the specific network technology adopted and of the high level service semantics. Then, we focus on a specific functionality of the proposed architecture: Resource allocation in the multi-domain scenario. A distributed admission control algorithm is introduced, its complexity is evaluated and a comparison with related solutions is provided.

A model-to-model comparison is attempted between Princeton Ocean Model (POM) and Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) as a first step to extend our knowledge of models' performances in studying the East Sea circulation. The two models have fundamentally different numerical schemes and boundary conditions imposed on these models are not exactly the same each other. This study indicates that MICOM has a critical weak point in that it does not reproduce the shallow surface currents properly while it handles the thermohaline processes and associated movements of intermediate and deep waters efficiently. It is suggested that the mixed layer scheme needs to be modified so that it can match with inflow boundary conditions in order to reproduce the surface currents properly in MICOM. POM reproduces the surface current pattern better than MICOM, although the surface currents in POM appear to undergo the unrealistic seasonal variation and have exaggeratedly large vertical scale. These defects seem to arise during the process of adapting POM to the East Sea, and removing these defects is left as a future task.

Despite the extensive investigations to understand the difference between ground-based and space-borne measurements, there still exist differences in total ozone (TO) measured at those two different platforms. Comparisons were carried out for the first time between TO data obtaiend from the ground based Dobson and Brewer spectrophotometers, and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on board EOS-Aura satellite in a megacity site in Northeast Asia. The TO values retrieved by the OMI-DOAS (Differential optical absorption spectroscopy) algorithm tend to be lower than those measured by the ground based sensors in spring and summer as well as the low solar zenith angle condition. We found that such underestimation of the OMI-DOAS TO is caused by tropospheric ozone underestimated by the OMI-DOAS algorithm when tropospheric ozone are significantly enhanced.

Conventional methods for measuring winds provide wind velocity observations over limited area and time period. The use of satellite imagery for measuring wind velocity overcomes some of these limitations by providing wide area and near condinuous coverage. And its accurate depiction is essential for operational weather forecasting and for initialization of NWP models. GMS-5 provides full disk images at hourly intervals. At four times each day - 0500, 1100, 1700, 2300 hours UTC-a series of three images is received, separated by thirty minutes, centered at the four times. The current wind system generates winds from sets of 3 infrared(IR) images, separated by an hour, four times a day. It also produces visible(VIS) and water vapor(WV) image-based winds from half-hourly imagery four times a day. The derivation of wind from satellite imagery involves the identification of suitable cloud targets. tracking the targets on sequential images, associating a pressure height with the derived wind vector, and quality control. The aim of this research is to incorporate imagery from other available spectral channels and examine the error characteristics of winds derived from these images.

This paper presents a novel method for power system harmonic estimation based on the Park transform. The proposed method firstly extends the signal to a group of three-phase signals in a-b-c coordinate. Then, a linear fitting based method is adopted to estimate the fundamental frequency. Afterwards, the Park transform is utilized to convert the three-phase signals from a-b-c coordinate to d-q-0 coordinate. Finally, the amplitude and phase of a harmonic component of interest can be calculated using the d-axis and q-axis components obtained. Simulation studies have been conducted using matrix laboratory (MATLAB) and power system computer aided design/electromagnetic transients including direct current (PSCAD/EMTDC). Simulation studies in MATLAB have considered three scenarios, i.e., no-frequency-deviation scenario, frequency-deviation scenario and the scenario in the presence of inter-harminics. The results have demonstrated that the proposed method achieves very high accuracy in frequency, phase and amplitude estimation under noisy conditions, and suffers little influence of the inter-harmonics. Moreover, comparison studies have proved that the proposed method is superior to FFT and Interpolated FFT with the Hanning Window (IpFFTHW). Finally, a popular case in PSCAD/EMTDC has been employed to further verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from biological fluid is a powerful approach to discover potential biomarkers for human diseases including cancers, as EV secreted to biological fluids are originated from the affected tissue. In order to investigate significant molecules related to the pathogenesis of bladder cancer, EVs were isolated from patient urine which was analyzed by mass spectrometry based proteomics. Comparison of the EV proteome to the whole urine proteome demonstrated an increased number of protein identification in EV. Comparative MS analyses of urinary EV from control subjects and bladder cancer patients identified a total of 1,222 proteins. Statistical analyses provided 56 proteins significantly increased in bladder cancer urine, including proteins for which expression levels varied by cancer stage (P-value < 0.05). While urine represents a valuable, non-invasive specimen for biomarker discovery in urologic cancers, there is a high degree of intra- and inter-individual variability in urine samples. The enrichment of urinary EV demonstrated its capability and applicability of providing a focused identification of biologically relevant proteins in urological diseases.

Background: Quantitation of urine protein is important in dogs with chronic kidney disease. Various analyzers are used to measure urine protein-to-creatinine ratios (UPCR). Objectives: This study aimed to compare the UPCR obtained by three types of analyzers (automated wet chemistry analyzer, in-house dry chemistry analyzer, and dipstick reading device) and investigate whether the differences could affect clinical decision process. Methods: Urine samples were collected from 115 dogs. UPCR values were obtained using three analyzers. Bland-Altman and Passing Bablok tests were used to analyze agreement between the UPCR values. Urine samples were classified as normal or proteinuria based on the UPCR values obtained by each analyzer and concordance in the classification evaluated with Cohen's kappa coefficient. Results: Passing and Bablok regression showed that there were proportional as well as constant difference between UPCR values obtained by a dipstick reading device and those obtained by the other analyzers. The concordance in the classification of proteinuria was very high (κ = 0.82) between the automated wet chemistry analyzer and in-house dry chemistry analyzer, while the dipstick reading device showed moderate concordance with the automated wet chemistry analyzer (κ = 0.52) and in-house dry chemistry analyzer (κ = 0.53). Conclusions: Although the urine dipstick test is simple and a widely used point-of-care test, our results indicate that UPCR values obtained by the dipstick test are not appropriate for clinical use. Inter-instrumental variability may affect clinical decision process based on UPCR values and should be emphasized in veterinary practice.

2010년에 국내 10개 영양염 분석 실험실을 대상으로 실험실간 상호비교실험이 실시되었다. 균질성과 안정성이 확보된 영양염 농도가 각기 다른 3종의 멸균해수(Bottle 130, 131, 132)가 이용되었으며, 각 실험실은 아질산염(Nitrite), 질산염(Nitrate), 인산염(Phosphate), 규산염(Silicate)의 항목을 5회이상 반복 분석하여 결과를 회신하였다. 각 실험실의 측정정밀도와 실험실간 차이를 평가하기 위해서 분석결과를 통계처리 하였다. 대부분의 실험실이 모든 분석항목에서 10%이내의 측정정밀도를 보였고, 이상치를 제거한 실험실 간 차이는 모든 분석항목에서 4~63%의 상대표준편차를 보였다. 상대백분율차이는 0.04~2217%였다. 각 실험실에서 분석한 영양염 농도의 차이는 우연오차(random error)보다는 계통오차(systematic error)에 기인한다고 볼 수 있다. 균질성과 안정성이 확보된 시료 131을 이용하여 각 실험실의 분석결과를 보정한 결과, 보정 후 실험실 간 차이는 모든 분석항목에서 상대표준편차와 상대백분율차이가 현저히 향상되었다. 본 상호비교실험결과를 종합하면, 본 실험에 참가한 국내 영양염 분석 실험실 내 측정정밀도는 양호한 편이므로 적절한 기준물질을 사용하여 분석자료를 보정할 경우 실험실 간 차이가 줄어들어 다른 실험실에서 생산된 자료와의 자료 공유에 대한 수월성이 높아진다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 영양염 시료 분석 시 균질성과 안정성이 확보된 표준물질을 사용하여 다른 실험실과의 비교가능성과 소급성을 확립할 것을 제안한다.

해양식물플랑크톤 생물량 및 일차생산력을 추정하기 위한 자료로서 이용되는 해수 중 엽록소 a의 농도는 고성능 액체크로마토그래피(High Performance Liquid Chromatography, HPLC), 형광법(Fluorometry), 분광광도법(Spectrophotometry)등의 분석방법으로 측정된다. 본 연구에서는 여러 실험실에서 이러한 방법들로 분석된 엽록소 a 자료를 통용하기 위한 기초자료로서 활용하고자 우리나라 주변 해역의 현장 시료를 이용한 상호비교실험을 실시하여 엽록소 a 분석 실험실 및 분석 방법간의 차이를 비교하였다. 상호비교실험은 엽록소 a 표준색소(R0) 및 동중국해(R1)와 동해해역(R2)에서 채수된 해수 현장 시료를 이용하여 총 3회 시행되었다. 참가실험실은 각각 HPLC(6개 실험실), 형광법(4개 실험실), 분광광도법(3개 실험실)으로 시료를 분석하였다. 표준색소와 현장시료의 측정결과에서 얻은 실험실 내 정밀도는 변동계수로 평가되었으며, 표준색소(R0)에서 9% 미만, 현장시료에서는 R1: 0.8~20%(평균 6.1%), R2: 4~21%(평균 13.2%)의 정밀도를 보였다. 전체 현장시료의 모집단에서 z-test를 이용하여 이상치를 제거한 측정결과들의 중앙값을 기준 값으로 평가한 HPLC, 형광법, 분광광도법 간의 차이는 20%이내였다. 이러한 차이는 현장시료의 균질성 및 실험실 내의 정밀도를 고려한 차이(R1: 8%, R2: 15%)와 유사한 값을 보였다. 비교결과로 미루어 볼 때, 측정값들간의 차이는 분석방법의 차이보다는 실험실 간 차이가 더 크다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 각 실험실에서 생산된 자료는 분석 방법이 다르더라도 약 20% 이내에서는 동일한 결과를 생산한다고 볼 수 있으므로 타 실험실에서 서로 다른 방법으로 분석된 엽록소 a의 자료를 활용하는 경우에는 약 20%의 차이에 대한 고려가 필요하다.
