We simulate the propagation of earthquake waves in the continental margin of Antarctica using the elastic wave modeling algorithm, which is modified to be suitable for acoustic-elastic coupled media and earthquake source. To simulate the various types of earthquake source, the staggered-grid finite-difference method, which is composed of velocity-stress formulae, can be more appropriate to use than the conventional, displacement-based, finite-difference method. We simulate the elastic wave propagation generated by earthquakes combining 3D staggered-grid finite-difference algorithm composed of displacement-velocity-stress formulae with double couple mechanisms for earthquake source. Through numerical tests for left-lateral strike-slip fault, normal fault and reverse fault, we could confirm that the first arrival of P waves at the surface is in a good agreement with the theoretically-predicted results based on the focal mechanism of an earthquake. Numerical results for a model made after the subduction zone in the continental margin of Antarctica showed that earthquake waves, generated by the reverse fault and propagating through the continental crust, the oceanic crust and the ocean, are accurately described.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: It is known that an anodic oxidation technique, one of the methods for the implant surface treatment, remarkably increased surface area, enhanced wettability and accelerated the initial bone healing. Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the wettability of anodized titanium surface which has a nanotubular structure, to assess osseointegration after the placement of implant with nano-size tubes on tibia of rats and to analyze quantitatively transferable rhBMP-2 on each surface. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Four different kinds of surface-treated titanium discs (polished (machined surface) group, micro (blasting surface) group, nano (anodizedmachined surface) group, and nano-micro (anodized-blasting surface) group) were fabricated (n=10). Three different media were chosen to measure the surface contact angles; distilled water, plasma and rhBMP-2 solution. After a single drop (0.025 $m{\ell}$) of solution, the picture was taken with the image camera, and contact angle was measured by using image analysis system. For the test of osseointegration, 2 kinds of anodized surface (anodized-machined surface, anodized-blasting surface) implants having 2.0 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm in length inserted into the tibia of Wistar rats. After 3 weeks, tibia were harvested and the specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological analysis. To test the possibility of drug delivery, after soaking sample groups in the concentration of 250 ng/$m{\ell}$l of rhBMP-2 for 48 hours, the excess solution of rhBMP-2 were removed. After that, they were lyophilized for 24 hours, and then the rhBMP-2 on the surface of titanium was resolved for 72 hours in PBS. All the extracted solution was analyzed by ELISA. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the data. RESULTS: The wettability is improved by anodic oxidation. The best wettability was shown on the nano-micro group, and it was followed by nano group, micro group, and polished group. In the histological findings, all implants showed good healing and the new bone formation were observed along the implant surface. After 3 days, nano-micro group delivered the most amount of rhBMP-2, followed by nano group, micro group, and polished group. CONCLUSION: It indicated that anodic oxidation on blasting surface produce functionally graded nano-micro porous structure and enhance hydrophilicity of the surface and osseointegration. The findings suggest that the nano-micro porous structure could be a useful carrier of osteogenic molecules like rhBMP-2.

Credit card holders are showing a higher level of psychology to show their identity beyond the means of payment. The purpose of this study is to investigate which design factors affect the 30th and 40th generation housewives when issuing credit cards. A total of 200 people in the 30s and 40s housewives who live in Seoul and the metropolitan area were selected from among the customers who use the credit card, and the effect of the design factors of the domestic credit card on the selection of the credit card, Based on previous studies, questionnaires were prepared and surveyed. As a result of the survey, it was found that the color design of the credit card design element was the achromatic system and the main image was the simple design which only used the color without emphasizing the image or the logo, and then the character type was preferred. I prefer not to have a card decoration, and I have found that a metal-like card material is the most preferred. Through this, I would like to suggest directions for the design development for 30 and 40 housewives in credit card companies.

This study attempts to evaluate the Korean terrestrial television networks‘ internet site effectiveness, specifically in addressing user motivations and user evaluations and in gauging the broadcasters' feedback. The result shows that the primary motive for using a broadcaster's internet homepage was to obtain information. Overall, the users tended to be dissatisfied with the services, especially with regards to its navigational structure and design and with the insufficient number of appropriate content items. The reason cited highest for dissatisfaction was the fee-based services. Among the three networks, Seoul Broadcasting System, the sole commercial network, received the most complaints from the respondents in this respect. The study results reveal that broadcasters' feedback systems to users were deemed responsive and timely, but a true interactivity between the broadcasters and the viewers was lacking. In conclusion, network televisions' internet sites and increased content access through them have provided a platform for increased communication with their viewers, however, these sites are not yet being fully utilized as effective interactive communication feedback channels but more as a unidirectional information source. In addition, the network television services seem to be lacking in providing users with efficient navigational structure, good design, or adequate content level and quality. Thus, to better serve the public, it is recommended that they improve internet homepage usability by assessing and applying qualitative researches regarding the users.

To investigate the promoter effect on heterologous gene expression in S. cerevisiae, the recombinant plasmids pYI11, pYI12, pYI10-2, and pYIGP were constructed to contain the inulinase gene (INUI) as a reporter under the control of GAL10, GAL7, GAL1, and GAP promoters, respectively. When the yeasts transformants were cultivated on galactose-containing rich media, the cell growth reached to 36-39 OD600 at 72 hours of cultivation. The specific growth rates of the cells harboring the four different plasmids decreased similarly : they dropped from $0.24 h^{-1}$ during the glucose-consuming period to 0.04 -$0.10 h^{-1}$ during the galactose-consuming period (gene expression phase for GAL promoter system). After the depletion of glucose, the expression of inulinase gene was started and reached to maximal levels of 4.3(GAL1 promoter), 4.0(GAL10 promoter), 3.8(GAL7 promoter), and 1.6(GAP promoter) unit/mL at 72 hours of cultivation. Based on the maximal expression level and activity staining on the plate, the promoter strength was in the order of GAL1, GAL10, GAL7 and GAP promoter. While the GAL-promoter systems showed a high plasmid stabilities of more than 78%, the GAP-promoter plasmid revealed a lower plasmid stability of 55%. Most of inulinase activity (98%) was found in the extracellular medium, indicating that the secretion efficiency of inulinase is independent on the type of promoter.

The carelessly and illegally copied contents are raising serious social problem as internet and multimedia technologies are advancing. Therefore, development of video copy detection system must be settled without delay. In this paper, we propose the hierarchical video copy detection method that estimates similarity using statistical characteristics between original video and manipulated(transformed) copy video. We rank according to luminance value of video to be robust to spacial transformation, and choose similar videos categorized as candidate segments in huge amount of database to reduce processing time and complexity. The copy videos generally insert black area in the edge of the image, so we remove rig black area and decide copy or not by using statistical characteristics of original video and copied video with center part of frame that contains important information of video. Experiment results show that the proposed method has similar keyframe accuracy to reference method, but we use less memory to save feature information than reference's, because the number of keyframes is less 61% than that of reference's. Also, the proposed method detects if the video is copied or not efficiently despite expansive spatial transformations such as blurring, contrast change, zoom in, zoom out, aspect ratio change, and caption insertion.

Experiments were conducted to measure rooting and growth of rose cuttings as affected by medium composition and volume. Rosa hybrida 'Red Sandra' and 'Little Marble' were used as test plants. For medium composition test, rockwool, phenolic foam, perlite, vermiculite, peatmoss, coir and a commercial medium (Tosilee medium) were applied in single or mixed forms on the propagation bed with fog (200 sec./5 min.) installed to control the humidification time. 'Red Sandra' and 'Little Marble' cuttings were planted in 16-cell plastic pots and 72-cell plug trays, respectively. For the medium volume test, 72-cell plug trays and 16-cell or 9-cell plastic pots were used. Cuttings with an uniform node with a five-leaflet leaf was soaked in a $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA solution for 30 sec. A fogging system installed on the propagation bed was used for (100 sec./5 min.). Rockwool 1 : peatmoss 1 (v/v) was the most effective on growth and rooting for both cultivars and high volume of Tosilee medium and rockwool were most effective media far both cultivars.

A Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim. is an important endangered plant belonging to the family Liliaceae. A method was developed for the rapid micropropagation of P. stenophyllum through plant regeneration from rhizome (1-year, 3-years, and 5-years) explant-derived calli. The rhizome segments were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with varying concentrations of 2,4-D (0, 0.5, 1.0, $1.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) for callus induction. In media supplemented with $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of 2,4-D, 87% of 3-years rhizome produced callus. Subsequently, the callus was transferred to 1/2MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of IAA, IBA, NAA, and 2,4-D (0, 0.1, 0.5 and $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) for adventitious shoot formation. The highest percentage of adventitious shoot induction (57%) was observed in 1/2MS medium containing $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of NAA. Elongation of the adventitious shoot was achieved in 1/2MS medium supplemented with $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of BA. Rooting was achieved in 1/2MS medium without any hormones. It is hypothesized that the stated in vitro propagation protocol will be useful for conservation and mass propagation of the endangered Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim. for bioresources.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis has been performed to estimate the air temperature inside an Auxiliary Feed Water (AFW) Motor-Driven (MD) pump room for the case where there is loss of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC). A transient calculation for the closed pump room without cooling by any HVAC system shows that the volume-averaged air temperature reaches around $60^{\circ}C$ for a transient period of 8.0 h. From previous studies, the external air and surface boundary temperatures are assumed to increase slowly starting from an initial temperature of $35^{\circ}C$. For the cases where the door is opened at 2, 4, and 6 h after the initiation of HVAC failure, the average air temperature promptly drops by about $4^{\circ}C$ when the door is opened and then slowly increases. The current calculations based on the CFD technique predict the rate of increase of air temperature to be lower than that determined by previous conservative calculations on the basis of a lumped model.
