  • One of the most frightening aspects of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is their ability to cause death in very small quantities without being visible to the public. The military authorities are making considerable effort to ensure the survivability of the combatants in the event of NBC(Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) contamination. Therefore, in this study, modules were developed for the measurement of the positive pressure and for the detection of the chemicals used for the control of the various shut-off valves used in an NBC shelter. In addition, a high performance gas tight shut-off valve was developed that can overcome the disadvantages associated with manual manufacturing, such as the occurrence of defective products and high manufacturing cost. By applying the positive pressure measurement and chemical detection modules, this valve was able to be used to control the facility. The developed gas-tight shut-off valve maintained airtight characteristics at a pressure loss of 28[Pa] at the prescribed wind velocity and an internal pressure of 30[kPa]. It is expected to be possible to control the gas-tight shut-off valve through the remote measurement of the positive pressure, thereby ensuring the foreign independence of import substitution and defense related technology in the future. In addition, by installing these valves in all of the intake ports or exhaust ports connected to the outside of the NBC shelter, it is possible to prevent the damage resulting from the rapid inflow of the storm pressure caused by conventional weapons and nuclear explosions, thereby protecting the people and equipment in the shelter.

  • An understanding of the contribution of secondary metabolites (SMs) to the antagonistic and biocontrol activities of bacterial biocontrol agents serves to improve biocontrol potential of the strain. In this study, to evaluate the contribution of each SM produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens NBC275 (Pf275) to its antifungal and biocontrol activity, we combined in silico analysis of the genome with our previous study of transposon (Tn) mutants. Thirteen Tn mutants, which belonged to 6 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) of a total 14 BGCs predicted by the antiSMASH tool were identified by the reduction of antifungal activity. The biocontrol performance of Pf275 was significantly dependent on 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol and pyoverdine. The clusters that encode for arylpolyene and an unidentified small linear lipopeptide influenced antifungal and biocontrol activities. To our knowledge, our study identified the contribution of SMs, such as a small linear lipopeptide and arylpolyene, to biocontrol efficacy for the first time.

  • 트위터, 페이스북 같은 소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service, SNS)를 이용한 커뮤니케이션 문화가 영화나 드라마의 홍보뿐만 아니라 작품과 팬들 간의 연대를 강화시켜주는 중요한 수단으로 주목받고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 구체적인 사례로 NBC와 AXN에서 2013년 내놓은 13부작 <한니발(Hannibal)>(NBC, 2013~)의 제작자 브라이언 풀러(Bryan Fuller)와 팬들 간의 트위터를 이용한 커뮤니케이션 양상을 살펴보았다. 본 연구를 통해 풀러와 팬들 간의 소통은 SNS와 맞물린 드라마 수용 형태의 변화를 보여주는 유용한 사례라는 점을 알 수 있었고, 속성상 선형성과 일방향성이 강한 콘텐츠가 어떻게 체험의 콘텐츠로 변모할 수 있는지를 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 이 연구는 DVB-S2 BC(Backward Compatibility) 모드에서 대역폭 효율을 개선하기 위한 새로운 계층적 변조방식을 제안하였다. DVB-S2 표준은 기존 DVB-S 방송 서비스와의 역호환성을 위하여 비대칭 8-PSK를 사용하며, 이 방식은 DVB-S의 경우보다는 대역폭 효율이 개선되나 DVB-S2 NBC(Non Backward Compatibility) 모드보다는 개선도가 미약하다 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 DVB-S2 NBC에서 사용하는 16APSK 변조방식을 DVB-S2 BC 모드에서 사용할 수 있도록 변형하였으며, 변형된 16-APSK 방식에 대한 수신 성능을 통계적 방법을 통하여 분석하였다.

  • This paper presents an analysis of the effects of statistically independent channel errors on the mean-squared error performance of image transform coding systems. The analysis is discussed for several different stochasic statistics of the quantizer input valuse. The stochastic distributions under consideration here are Laplacian, Gaussian and uniform. For each case of the distributions, we evaluate the MSE performance when NBC, FBC, MDC and Gray code respectively is employed for encoding the quantized values of the transformed coeffecients into the corresponding code words. The result of this study shows that what code is desired to be chosen to minimize the MSE for the given stochastic distributions of the quantizer input values.

  • Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the usefulness of artificial neural networks (ANN), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), naïve Bayes classifier (NBC), general discriminant analysis (GDA), and logistic regression (LR) for dystocia detection in Polish Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White heifers and cows and to indicate the most influential predictors of calving difficulty. Methods: A total of 1,342 and 1,699 calving records including six categorical and four continuous predictors were used. Calving category (difficult vs easy or difficult, moderate and easy) was the dependent variable. Results: The maximum sensitivity, specificity and accuracy achieved for heifers on the independent test set were 0.855 (for ANN), 0.969 (for NBC), and 0.813 (for GDA), respectively, whereas the values for cows were 0.600 (for ANN), 1.000 and 0.965 (for NBC, GDA, and LR), respectively. With the three categories of calving difficulty, the maximum overall accuracy for heifers and cows was 0.589 (for MARS) and 0.649 (for ANN), respectively. The most influential predictors for heifers were an average calving difficulty score for the dam's sire, calving age and the mean yield of the farm, where the heifer was kept, whereas for cows, these additionally included: calf sex, the difficulty of the preceding calving, and the mean daily milk yield for the preceding lactation. Conclusion: The potential application of the investigated models in dairy cattle farming requires, however, their further improvement in order to reduce the rate of dystocia misdiagnosis and to increase detection reliability.

  • Nowadays in Korea, KS F 2271(Testing method for incombustibility of internal finish material and element of buildings) has been using for the evaluation of fire safety performance of sandwich panels. The test method in Japan and in Korea was based on the same way. When the Japanese standard building code was revised in 2000, the test method in the ISO 5660-1 was adopted for the test method for combustion performance of internal finishing materials and elements of buildings. According to this, the revision version of draft substituting the test method in the KS F 2271 for one in the ISO 5660-1(Cone Calorimeter method) is informed in Korea. In this study, combustion properties of sandwich panels were tested using the cone calorimeter method. Ignition time, peak heat release rate and total heat released of four sandwich panels and four core materials (thermal insulation material), which are widely used in Korea, were tested. Test results were analyzed for each specimen. Finally, test results were classified by Japanese standard building code and Canadian NBC revised.

  • The state has the constitutional duty to secure the safety of its citizens and provide protection against any physical dangers. The Republic of Korea has a high threat of nuclear, biological and or chemical(hereafter referred to as NBC) attack from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Thus, the state has a responsibility to form a legislation to provide the protection for its citizens and implement duty to guarantee the human rights. Under the current legislation, the 'United Defense Act', 'Framework Act on Civil Defense' that are applied under wartime conditions are insufficient in providing the protection of the citizens of the state in the occurrence of NBC attack. Therefore, it is necessary that the 'Act for the Protection of Citizens in the occurrence of NBC Attack' is legislated to provide a system that protects the nation's citizens under the wartime conditions mentioned above. This paper incorporates a theoretical analysis of the need for the constitutional responsibility of the state to provide protection for its citizens under wartime conditions, the necessity of a specific measure to protect citizens during NBC attack, the relationship between 'Act for the Protection of Citizens in the occurrence of Nuclear, Chemical and or Biological Attack' and current legislations that are applied under wartime conditions, and the particulars of the proposed act.
