Nitrogen incorporated diamond-like carbon films were deposited by r.f. glow discharge of mixtures of benzene and ammonia gases. Mechanical properties, composition and atomic bond structure were investigated when the fraction of ammonia increases from 0 to 0.79 and the negative self bias voltage of cathode from 100 to 900 V. Both the residual compressive stress and the hardness decrease from 1.7 to 1.0 GPa and from 2750Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ to 1700Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively. In addition to hydrogen, triply bonded nitrogens also play a role of teminal sites of the three dimensional atomic bond network. By considering the hydrogen concentration and the nitrogen bond characteristics, it can be shown that the mechanical properties of the films are determined by the content of three dimensional inter-links of $sp^2$ clusters. Although the mechanical properties are affected by the nitrogen addition, its depedence on the negative bias voltage is qualitatively identical to that of pure diamond-like carbon films.

This study proposes the analysis method in sentence semantics that can be automatically identified and processed as appropriate items in the system according to the composition of the sentences contained in the data corresponding to the logical semantic structure metadata of the research papers. In order to achieve the purpose, the structure of sentences corresponding to 'Research Objectives' and 'Research Outcomes' among the semantic structure metadata was analyzed based on the number of words, the link word types, the role of many-appeared words in sentences, and the end types of a word. As a result of this study, the number of words in the sentences was 38 in 'Research Objectives' and 212 in 'Research Outcomes'. The link word types in 'Research Objectives' were occurred in the order such as Causality, Sequence, Equivalence, In-other-word/Summary relation, and the link word types in 'Research Outcomes' were appeared in the order such as Causality, Equivalence, Sequence, In-other-word/Summary relation. Analysis target words like '역할(Role)', '요인(Factor)' and '관계(Relation)' played a similar role in both purpose and result part, but the role of '연구(Study)' was little different. Finally, the verb endings in sentences were appeared many times such as '~고자', '~였다' in 'Research Objectives', and '~었다', '~있다', '~였다' in 'Research Outcomes'. This study is significant as a fundamental research that can be utilized to automatically identify and input the metadata element reflecting the common logical semantics of research papers in order to support researchers' scholarly sensemaking.

To obtaingood resolution in PDP, one of the important factors is to achieve the accuracy of barrier ribs. The photolithographic process can be used to form patterns of barrier rib with high accuracy and a high aspect ratio. The composition for photolithography is based on the $B_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ glass system including additives such as alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides. The refractive index and thermal properties in glass system are changed by amount of alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides. Therefore, it is important that additives are controlled to have proper refractive index and thermal properties. The additives are contributed to non-bridging oxygen within the glass network, causing a change of density. In addition to a change of the structural cross-link density, the refractive index, dielectric and thermal properties glass are correlated with ionic radius and polarizability of cations. In this study, we investigated the refractive index and the thermal properties such as glass transition temperature, glass softening temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion by changing composition in the $B_2O_3-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ glass system.

Multimedia presentations are a class of documents that are used for lectures, tour guides, business presentations, and in many other applications. These presentations comprise multimedia objects with a temporal structure that specifies when objects are to be delivered, for what duration, and what the temporal relationships among objects are. In this paper, we propose temporal extensions to XHTML that allow seamless integration of synchronized multimedia into web documents. The extensions are based on three concepts：(i) XHTML＋TIME (in short, Xtime) links for temporal composition, (ii) common time bases for close synchronization between media objects, and (iii) dynamic layout for specifying regions of a screen for presentation. Also, we will show a flexible execution architecture to support these concepts in a multimedia presentation.

Metabolic syndrome has become quite prevalent within our society. Over the past two decades, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome has sharply increased worldwide and it has become a major public health problem in several countries. It is associated with the global epidemic of obesity and diabetes mellitus and imposes numerous cardiovascular risks. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, surpassed only by non-melanoma skin cancer. A considerable body of evidence exists suggesting that some components of the metabolic syndrome have been associated with the risk of prostate cancer. These components include obesity, an abdominal fat distribution, and hyperinsulinemia. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most widely used therapeutic modality in prostate cancer. It changed the body composition and lipid profile of men with prostate cancer. Androgen deficiency is associated with increased levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, increased production of proinflammatory factors, and increased thickness of the arterial wall and contributes to endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this review is to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and prostate cancer and to discuss the implications of androgen deficiency in men with cardiovascular risk factors. A comprehensive literature search was carried out with the use of PubMed from 1980 through 2011, and relevant articles pertinent to metabolic syndrome and prostate cancer are evaluated and discussed.

The paper describes SR3 (Synchronous Round Robin with Reservations), a collision-free medium access control protocol for all-optical slotted packet networks based on WDM multi-channel ring topologies where nodes are equipped with one fixed-wavelength receiver and one wavelength-tunable transmitter SR3 is derived from the SRR and MMR protocols previously proposed by the same authors for the same class of all-optical networks. SRR and MMR already achieve an efficient exploitation of the available bandwidth, while guaranteeing a throughput-fair access to each node. SR3, In addition, allows nodes to reserve slots. thereby achieving a stronger control on access delays; it is thus well suited to meet tight delay requirements, as it is the case for multimedia applications. Simulation results show that SR3 provides very good performance to guaranteed qualify traffic, but also brings signigicant performance improvements for best-effort traffic. Energy effciency is an important issue for optical network since they must rely on their batteries. We present a novel MAC protocol that achieves a good energy efficiency of optical interface of the network and provides support for diverse traffic types and QoS. The scheduler of the base station is responsible to provide the required QoS to connections on the optical link and to minimise the amount of energy spend by the High speed Network. The main principles of the MaC protocol are to avoid unsuccessful actions, minimise the number of transitions , and synchronise the mobile and the base-station. We will show that considerable amounts of energy can be saved using these principles.

An Ad hoc network, differently from wired networks, is a self organized network of mobile nodes in wireless environments. In this kind of routing and operation environments. link breaks occur frequently. Knowing positions of nodes may prevent or recover this type of phenomenon. Typically, GPS is used to detect position of nodes but high cost and complexity of construction limit applications. In this paper, we propose and design a method of construction nodes' position map using only information of all nodes without GPS. The proposed method complements and overcomes previous system with software solutions. Hence, construction and operation are simple, and can decrease cost of construction expenses.

Microbes is becoming increasingly forensic possibility as a consequence of advances in massive parallel sequencing (MPS) and bioinformatics. Human DNA typing is the best identifier, but it is not always possible to extract a full DNA profile namely its degradation and low copy number, and it may have limitations for identical twins. To overcome these unsatisfactory limitations, forensic potential for bacteria found in evidence could be used to differentiate individuals. Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall that better protects the bacterial nucleoid compared to the cell membrane of eukaryotic cells. Humans have an extremely diverse microbiome that may prove useful in determining human identity and may even be possible to link the microbes to the person responsible for them. Microbial composition within the human microbiome varies across individuals. Therefore, MPS of human microbiome could be used to identify biological samples from the different individuals, specifically for twins and other cases where standard DNA typing doses not provide satisfactory results due to degradation of human DNA. Microbial forensics is a new discipline combining forensic science and microbiology, which can not to replace current STR analysis methods used for human identification but to be complementary. Among the fields of microbial forensics, this paper will briefly describe information on the current status of microbiome research such as metagenomic code, salivary microbiome, pubic hair microbiome, microbes as indicators of body fluids, soils microbes as forensic indicator, and review microbial forensics as the feasibility of microbiome-based human identification.

It is important to consider interaction between species in understanding structure and function of the biological community. Current ecological issues such as climate change and habitat loss emphasize the significance of the concept of species interaction in that varying species' interaction across environmental gradients may lead to altered ecological function and services. However, most community studies have focused on species diversity through analysis of quantitative indices based on species composition and abundance data without considering species interactions in the community. 'Ecological network analysis' based on network theory enables exploration of structural and functional properties of ecosystems composed of various species and their interactions. In this paper, network analysis of Cheonggye stream as a case study was presented to promote uses of network analysis on ecological studies in Korea. Cheonggye stream has a simple biological structure with link density of 1.48, connectance 0.07, generality 4.43, and vulnerability 1.94. The ecological network analysis can be used to provide ecological interpretations of domestic long-term monitoring data and can contribute to conserving and managing species diversity in ecosystems.
