This paper presents the design and implementation of credit-control application to provide prepaid service for Diameter Mobile-lP application in Diameter-based AAA system. Diameter credit-control application is designed to support prepaid accounting service, which is not supported in RADIUS and Diameter accounting. Real-time credit-control requires that an application must be able to rate service information in real-time. In addition, it is necessary to check that the end user's account provides coverage for the requested service, prior to initiation of that service. In this paper, we design and implementation Diameter credit-control to provide prepaid service for Diameter Mobile-IP application.

Mobility of service users makes location update and paging (L/P) procedures indispensable features in mobile communication networks. Importance of optimizing the configuration of L/P areas has been increased by the growth of L/P related signaling. In this study, we deal with the L/P configuration which an LA (Location Area) may contain multiple PAs (Paging Areas). Given the network topology, L/P related parameters, and traffics generated by each cell, is provided the problem of finding optimal LA/PA configuration minimizing the amount of L/P related signaling. The optimization problem is solved using a simulated annealing, and detailed computational results are conducted to capture the effects of mobility, call arrival patterns and boundary crossing rate on the LA and PA configurations.

Optical isomers of DABS-amino acids have been separated in a reversed phae high performance liquid chromatography by adding Cu (Ⅱ)-L-Proline chelate to the mobile phase. The retention behaviors for the DABS-amino acids are discussed in terms of pH of the mobile phase and the concentrations of acetonitrile, Cu (Ⅱ) complex, and buffer. The selectivity of the optical isomers of DABS-amino acids increases with the pH of the mobile, and the concentration of the chelate, but decreases with concentration of the oganic modifier. The concentration of buffer does not affect the optical separation selectivity. A separation mechanism is illustrated by cis and trans formation based on the steric effect of the ligand exchange reaction between DABS-amino acids and the copper chelate.

Enantiomeric separation of free amino acids has been achieved by a reversed phase liquid chromatography with addition of a Cu(Ⅱ) complex of N-alkyl-L-proline (alkyl: propyl, pentyl or octyl) to the mobile phase. The amino acids eluted were detected by a postcolumn OPA system. N-alkyl-L-proline was prepared and used as a chiral ligand of Cu(Ⅱ) chelate for the enantiomeric separation. The concentration of the Cu(Ⅱ) chelate, the organic modifier and pH affect the enantiomeric separation of free amino acids. The retention behaviour, varied with change in pH and the concentration of the Cu(Ⅱ) chelate, was different compared with those of the derivatized amino acids. The elution orders between D- and L-forms were consistent except histidine showing that L-forms elute earlier than D-forms. The retention mechanism for the enantiomeric separation can be illustrated by the stereospecificity of the ligand exchange reaction and the hydrophobic interaction between the substituent of amino acids and reversed phase, $C_18$.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of mobile health intervention for employees with diabetes. The study subjects were 101 employees having fasting blood glucose over 100 mg/dL. The study participants were educated to check their blood sugar before meals every day, and received text messages to help improve general lifestyle habits for blood sugar, diet, and exercise for 12 weeks. There was a sufficient difference in blood sugar, body mass index and blood pressure before and after the intervention. As a result, fasting blood glucose(129.38±1.95 to 123.63±1.82) decreased(P<0.001). Body mass index(26.20±0.29 to 25.81±0.28, P<0.000), diastolic blood pressure(124.60±1.03 to 122.56±1.05, P<0.032), and systolic blood pressure(79.86±0.83 to 78.06±0.79, P<0.017) decreased, which were also statistically significant. It is expected that this study will be used as basic data to develop a self care program by using mobile and apply it to employees with diabetes.

This paper is to estimate and analyze the price elasticities of demand for mobile calls. We used the data for the period from January 2000 to December 2005 on a monthly basis. Data used are call minutes to mobile-originating(ML+MM), tariff for dispatch of fixed and mobile calls($P_L,P_M$), income(Y), and subscriber for mobile(N). In order to provide robust estimates of price elasticities, we have used two different econometric models. One is a Dynamic model which includes a lagged dependent variable and so can differentiate between long-un and short-run price elasticities using the Generalized Method of Moments(GMM). The other is a Box-Cox transformation model which is one of the most useful methods. Box-Cox transformation model shows that elasticity changes with the lapse of time. The results are as follow : Not including the price indices for land-originating, the estimate is overestimated otherwise. In Box-Cox transformation case, price elasticity had been steadily declining. And this result shows that mobile services had been changed necessities increasingly in Korea.

In this study, a technique of speciation and determination of the trace inorganic arsenic(As(III) and As(V)) in water sample using HPLC-DRC-ICP-MS has been developed. Isocratic mobile phase of 10 mM ammonium nitrate and 10 mM ammonium phosphate monobasic was used and methanol(5 v/v%) was used as flushing solvent. Selection of the best flow rate of reaction gas, O$_2$, and optimization of the parameters such as pH and flow rate of mobile phase, and injection volume of sample for the separation and detection of arsenic species were carried out. The oxygen flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, pH of 9.4 and flow rate of 1.5 mL/min of mobile phase, and injection volume of sample of 100 $\mu$L were found to be the best parameters for the speciation and determination of arsenic species. The analytical features of the method were detection limit 0.10 and 0.08 $\mu$g/L, precision(RSD) 4.3% and 3.6%, and recovery 95.2% and 96.4% for As(III) and As(V), respectively. Analysis time was 4 minutes per sample. Linear calibration graphs with r$^2$ = 0.998 were obtained for both As(III) and As(V). Speciation analysis of arsenic species in the raw water samples collected from the tributary streams to Han River and main stream of Paldnag were performed by the proposed method. The concentrations of As(III) ranged from 0.10 to 0.22 $\mu$g/L and As(V) concentrations ranged from 0.44 to 1.19 $\mu$g/L, and 93.5% of total arsenic was found to be As(V).

Optical isomers of dansyl amino acids were separated by a chiral mobile phase addition method. Two metha and para isomers of xylenyl-L-proline were prepared and used as the ligands of copper(Ⅱ) chelate to resolve the dansyl amino acids. Their elution behaviors were similar to those obtained from the addition of copper (Ⅱ) benzyl-L-proline chelate. The matrix effect of the mobile phase such as pH, concentration of buffer and compositions of organic solvent acetonitrile affected the optical resolution. The separation mechanism could be explained by a cis-trans effect of the ligand exchange reaction and hydrophobic interaction between the ternary complex and the stationary phase.

Separation of optical isomers of some derivatives of amino acids by reversed-phase HPLC has been accomplished by adding a chelate of an optically active amino acid to copper(Ⅱ) to the mobile phase. Cu(Ⅱ) complexes of L-proline and L-hydroxyproline in the mobile phase showed different degrees of separation. Optical isomers of DNS derivatives of amino acids are selectively separated, but those of several other derivatives are not at all. The kinds of buffer agents, the pH, and the concentrations of acetonitrile and the Cu(Ⅱ) ligand all affect the separations. The elution behavior between D and L DNS-amino acids appears to depend on the alkyl side chain of the amino acids. A chromatographic mechanism is proposed that is based on a stereospecificity of the formation of ternary complexes by the D, L-DNS-amino acids and the chiral additive associated with the stationary phase. The steric effects of the ligand exchange reactions are related with the feasibility of cis and/or trans attack of the amino acids to the binary chiral chelate retained on the stationary phase.

A multiple solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was used with liquid chromatography, coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MS), for the analysis of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) in human urine. Separation efficiencies based on the pH of the mobile phase and the types of columns were compared. An amide column showed better baseline separation and narrower HCA peak widths at pH 5.0 for the mobile phase than a $C_8$ column. Each SPE step, HLB, MCX, and HybridSPE, was optimized by controlling the pH conditions. The combined method with the three SPEs effectively removed interfering species that cause ion-suppression during HCA detection. Validation of the method, performed with SIM and SRM detection, showed correlation coefficients above 0.991 in the range 0.3 - 16.7 ng/mL. Recovery rates were 45.4 - 97.3% on the $C_8$ column and 71.8 - 101.4% on the amide column, and method detection limits were 0.11 - 0.65 ng/mL on the $C_8$ column and 0.12 - 0.48 ng/mL on the amide column. This method using multiple SPEs offers significant benefits for high-throughput determination of HCAs in urine.
