네트워크 시뮬레이터인 NS-2(Network Simulator 2)는 다양한 인터넷 프로토콜을 분석 할 수 있는 이산 사건 시뮬레이터로 데이터 처리량과 패킷 지연 및 전력 소모 등을 구할 수 있다. 그러나 NS-2를 사용하여 실험 시 네트워크 토폴로지의 설정이 변경 될 때마다 Tcl 스크립트를 통해 단일적으로 밖에 대응하지 못한다는 불편함이 존재한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 멀티프로세싱 기법의 NS-2 Batch Job 시스템을 제안한다. 쉘(Bash) 스크립트로 NS-2 내부 구조의 간섭 없이 자동화 일괄 작업(Batch Job) 시스템을 모듈 구조로 구현 및 적용시켰다. 또한 실험의 시간 효율을 극대화시키기 위해 멀티프로세싱 기법을 이용하여, 하드웨어 성능의 부하가 걸리지 않는 선에서 NS-2 시뮬레이션을 다중 처리할 수 있도록 만들었다. 성능 비교분석 결과, 제안하는 Batch Job 시스템을 적용하면 기존에 NS-2를 이용한 실험에 걸리는 시간에 비해 소요시간이 평균 48% 감소한 결과를 볼 수 있다. 이는 하드웨어 성능이 향상된다면, 부하가 걸리지 않는 상한까지 더 많은 개수의 NS-2 프로세스를 실행시킬 수 있기 때문에 더욱 큰 시간 효율을 보여줄 수 있다.

The Double Pulsar (PSR J0737-3039) is the only neutron star-neutron star (NS-NS) binary in which both NSs have been detectable as radio pulsars. The Double Pulsar has been assumed to dominate the Galactic NS-NS binary merger rate $R_g$ among all known systems, solely based on the properties of the first-born, recycled pulsar (PSR J0737-3039A, or A) with an assumption for the beaming correction factor of 6. In this work, we carefully correct observational biases for the second-born, non-recycled pulsar (PSR J0737-0737B, or B) and estimate the contribution from the Double Pulsar on $R_g$ using constraints available from both A and B. Observational constraints from the B pulsar favour a small beaming correction factor for A (~2), which is consistent with a bipolar model. Considering known NS-NS binaries with the best observational constraints, including both A and B, we obtain $R_g=21_{-14}{^+28}$ per Myr at 95 per cent confidence from our reference model. We expect the detection rate of gravitational waves from NS-NS inspirals for the advanced ground-based gravitational-wave detectors is to be $8_{-5}{^+10}$ per yr at 95 per cent confidence. We discuss prospects of gravitational-wave detection based on our results. Implications of PSR J1906+0746, which is likely to be another tight NS-NS binary in the Galactic disc supported by recent observation, are also remarked.

Influence of different cultivated areas on the processing-grade tuber yield, specific gravity, reducing sugar content and tuber qualities of five promising varieties was studied to get the basic information for selecting potato varieties with good processing quality under the different cultivated conditions on Korea. The average total tuber yields of 5 tested varieties at the 2nd harvest time was 3,.051kg/10a in Daekwallyoung. The processing-grade tuber yield of the late-maturing variety of Gemchip was over 3.2 tons per 10a, whereas that of late-maturing variety, NS1 was 2.8 tons per 10a. The dry matter content of the tubers produced from Daekwallyoung was the highest, followed by the order of Bosung, atlantic was the highest in dry matter content, followed by the order of NS1, NS2, Superior and Gemchip. Degrees of change in glucose content as affected by change of cultivated areas were different among varieties. Atlantic and NS1 showed less change of glucose content as compared with other varieties.

Potassium channel openers (KCOs) produce physiological and pharmacological defense mechanisms against cell injuries caused by oxidative stress of diverse origins. Openings of mitochondrial and plasmalemmal $K^+$ channels are involved in the defense mechanisms. This study tested whether NS 1619, an opener of large-conductance BK channels, has a similar beneficial influence on the pigment epithelial cells of retinas. The human retinal pigment epithelial cell line ARPE-19 was exposed to $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in the absence and presence of NS 1619. The degrees of the cells' injuries were assessed by analyzing the cells' trypan-blue exclusion abilities and TUNEL staining. NS 1619 produced remarkable protections against cell injuries caused by $H_2O_2$. It prevented apoptotic and necrotic cell deaths. The protective effect of NS 1619 was significantly diminished when the cells were treated with NS 1619 in combination with the BK channel-blocker paxilline. NS 1619 significantly ameliorated cellular ATP deprivations in $H_2O_2$-treated cells. It helped mitochondria preserve their functional integrity, which was estimated by their MTT reduction abilities and mitochondrial membrane potential. In conclusion, it was suggested that NS 1619 had a beneficial effect on mitochondria in regards to preserving their functional integrity under oxidative stress, and it produces defense mechanisms against oxidant-induced cell injuries in ARPE-19 cells.

The influence of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) on the bone marrow (BM) natural suppressor (NS) cells of intact Ehrlich carcinoma -bearing CBA mice was studied. Bone marrow NS cells were fractionated into three fractions by isopycnic centrifugation on percoll gradients: NS1 (${\rho}$=1.080 g/ml), NS2 (${\rho}$=1.090 g/ml) and NS3 (1.100> ${\rho}$ > 1.090 g/ml). These fractions were highly different in their sensitivity to known NS cell inductors (interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3 or histamine). None of the NS fractions isolated from the intact mice spontaneously produced antiproliferative activity, however, they showed a high level of NS (antiproliferative and natural killer cell inhibitory) activity under the influence of AFP. A single injection of AFP to intact mice led to an increase of spontaneous NS activity and the inhibition of natural killer cell activity. NS activity, especially NS2, was increased in when tumor cells were subcutaneously inoculated three days after AFP injection. In the AFP-treated mice, the tumor mass at 14 days was 60% larger than that in the untreated mice. Our data confirmed that AFP is a tumor marker that can inhibit cancer immunity and plays a role in cancer pathogenesis.

A typical standard of vehicular ad hoc networks, WAVE which consists of IEEE 1609.x Family standards and IEEE 802.11p standard, includes the multi-channel coordination and channel synchronization function to provide safety services or public services during a car is driven. Generally, the performance of data communication and networking technologies is evaluated by using simulation tools, such as ns-2, OPNET, OPNET++, etc. However, these tools doesn't provide the operations of WAVE protocol. Therefore, in this paper, we implement and verify WAVE simulation program based on ns-2.

ENS-2 simulator is the most widely-used simulator in the research of wired/wireless communication. Since an IEEE 802.11 module has been implemented in NS-2. much research using this module has been done for various MAC layer functions. The most important problem in terms of performance is the hidden terminal problem. To solve this problem, the solutions using a busy-tone such as BTMA, DBTMA, etc. have been proposed. In order to be able to use a busy-tone, channels using the frequency bandwidth except the frequency bandwidth of the data channel is required for the collision prevention, and a MAC layer has to be able to menage such multiple channels. In this research, we implement a module that can use a busy-tone in NS-2, implement a modified RI-BTMA by applying the implemented module, and verify its performance.

Twelve unrecorded yeasts, Pseudozyma prolifica HL9-1, Trichosporon coremiiforme NS19-2, Candida cretensis SA4-1, Cryptococcus diffluens TJ4-3, Cryptococcus pinus YB17-2, Candida vartiovaarae DD2-5, Pichia galeiformis DM3-5, Candida pseudolambica JW2-3, Trichosporon xylopini NS5-1, Trichosporon moniliiforme NS5-7, Tetrapisispora iriomotensis NS14-2, and Tetrapisispora nanseiensis SA17-1, were screened among 97 yeasts from soils of Chungcheongnam-do and Daejeon metropolitan city, Korea. These yeasts were oval or ellipsoidal and had a budding system for vegetative reproduction. They grew well in yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium and, in particular, Tetrapisispora iriomotensis NS14-2 and Candida cretensis SA4-1 grew well in 10% NaCl-containing YPD broth. Nine strains, including Trichosporon coremiiforme NS19-2, assimilated xylose and four yeast strains, such as Candida vartiovaarae DD2-5, also assimilated lactose. Physiological functionalities of cell-free extracts and supernatants from two halophilic unrecorded yeasts, Candida cretensis SA4-1 and Tetrapisispora iriomotensis NS14-2, were investigated. Cell-free extracts from Candida cretensis SA4-1 and Tetrapisispora iriomotensis NS14-2 exhibited 71.3% and 68.4% antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity.

The reaction of cupric nitrate trihydrate with S-2-pyridyl thioates in acetonitrile was studied. The major products were the corresponding carboxylic acids and $[Cu(NO_3)(C_5H_4NS)(C_5H_5NS$)] (Complex A). Sometimes $[Cu(NO_3)(C_5H_4NS)(H_2O$)] was also obtained in addition to Complex A. When Complex A was recrystallized in dimethylsulfoxide, $[Cu(NO_3)(C_5H_4NS)(C_5H_5NS)$ {$(CH_3)_2SO$}$_2]{\cdot}2H_2O$ was crystallized. The structures of these copper complexes and the role of cupric nitrate in the hydrolysis of S-2-pyridyl thioates are discussed.
