Due to illegal copying and distribution via the internet, the digital media that have been introduced create certain intellectual property issues. Because of this, several intellectual property groups have been created to create and maintain Digital Rights Management systems (DRM), in order to crack down on illegal and unauthorized copying. However, these systems are often created by many different companies, which leads to problems of interoperability. Despite attempts to regulate DRM systems, including the MPEG group's Intellectual Property Management and Protection" system, the system is still struggling to maintain some sort of interoperability between differing protocols. In this paper, we designed and implemented a DRM system with Gstreamer, following the DMP.

We examined the effect of salt marsh vegetation on the benthic environment in macro-tidal flats at Donggeomdo, Ganghwa, on the west coast of Korea. Nine stations were established along a transect across the tidal flats, including salt marsh, and field sampling was conducted monthly from July 1997 to June 1998. During the study period, environmental parameters fluctuated as follows: salinity, 15.0 to 28.2 psu, exposure time, 613 to 702 hr/m, inundation time, 28 to 117 hr/m, sediment organic carbon, 0.71 to 1.34%, nitrogen, 0.07 to 0.16%, sulfur from 0.07 to 0.22%, mean grain size from 6.3 to $6.9{\phi}$, water content from 19.4 to 44.4%, water temperature from 4.4 to $20.4^{\circ}C$ and temperature of the surface sediments, 2.7 to $31.1^{\circ}C$, in total, seven halophyte species were sampled and found to be vertically distributed across the tidal levels. Carer scabrifolia, Suaeda maritima, Limonium tetragonum and Phragmites communis dominated the upper zone of the salt marsh, Juncus haenkei, Triglochin maritimum and P. communis dominated the middle zone, and Suaeda japonica predominated in the lower area. Principal component analysis (PCA) and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling revealed that the zonation of halophytes was related to environmental variables such as salinity and exposure time. The halophyte communities were likely related to the organic content of the surface sediment.

Photoplethysmogram(PPG) is the method to obtain the biomedical signal using the linear relationships between the blood volume for changing the cardiac contraction and relaxation and the amount of light for absorbing the hemoglobin in the blood. In this paper, we proposed the analyzed results which show the heart rate variability and the distribution of heart rate for before and after using PPG. Moreover, this paper designed and implemented the system based on personal computer to predict cardiovascular disease in advance using the analyzed results for the autonomic balance from taking the spectral analysis of heart rate and the state of the blood vessel for analyzing APG(acceleration plethysmogram).

The transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate(DMT) with ethylene glycol(EG) was kinetically investigated in the temperature range from 190 to $240^{\circ}C$ with and without a zinc acetate(Zn) as a catalyst. The degree of reaction was calculated by the measurement of the quantity of methanol which distilled from the reaction vessel. This distillation made corrections of reactant and catalyst concentrations necessary. The effects of catalyst concentration, molar ratio of DMT and EG, types of metal compounds, and temperature on kinetics were studied. The catalytic activity of various metal compounds was excellent, in order of Ti, Zn, Sn, and Sb. Also the order of activation energy was Zn>Ti>Sn>Sb.

Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing allows identification of methylated DNA bases and methylation patterns/motifs at the genome level. Using SMRT sequencing, diverse bacterial methylomes including those of Helicobacter pylori, Lactobacillus spp., and Escherichia coli have been determined, and previously unreported DNA methylation motifs have been identified. However, the methylomes of Xanthomonas species, which belong to the most important plant pathogenic bacterial genus, have not been documented. Here, we report the methylomes of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag) strain 8ra and X. campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) strain 85-10. We identified $N^6$-methyladenine (6mA) and $N^4$-methylcytosine (4mC) modification in both genomes. In addition, we assigned putative DNA methylation motifs including previously unreported methylation motifs via REBASE and MotifMaker, and compared methylation patterns in both species. Although Xag and Xcv belong to the same genus, their methylation patterns were dramatically different. The number of 4mC DNA bases in Xag (66,682) was significantly higher (29 fold) than in Xcv (2,321). In contrast, the number of 6mA DNA bases (4,147) in Xag was comparable to the number in Xcv (5,491). Strikingly, there were no common or shared motifs in the 10 most frequently methylated motifs of both strains, indicating they possess unique species- or strain-specific methylation motifs. Among the 20 most frequent motifs from both strains, for 9 motifs at least 1% of the methylated bases were located in putative promoter regions. Methylome analysis by SMRT sequencing technology is the first step toward understanding the biology and functions of DNA methylation in this genus.

첨단 공정이 필요한 반도체와 LCD, PDP, LED 등의 디스플레이 및 IT 부품을 제조하는데 필요한 장비의 고성능화와 작업환경의 고청정화에 따른 초고진공펌프의 수요 확대와 앞으로 전개될 한-미 FTA에 따른 시장 확대로 인해 크라이오펌프의 국산화가 시급한 실정이다. 고성능 크라이오펌프를 만들기 위해서는 냉각판을 극저온으로 냉각하기 위한 극저온 냉동기 개발도 중요하지만 냉각판(cryoarray)에 최대한 많은 분자를 포획시키는 것 또한 최우선적으로 고려되어야 할 사항 중 하나이다. 이에 본 논문은 크라이오펌프용 냉각판의 기체분자 포획능력에 대하여 연구하였다. 냉각판의 분자포획능력의 해석은 형상계수법(view factor method)을 이용해 수행하였다. 해석에 이용한 냉각판은 현재 상용화된 모델들 중 원형 중앙판에 45$^{\circ}$ 하향 skirt가 달린 형태이며 8장의 냉각판이 일정한 간격을 두고 아래쪽으로 적층되어있고 이를 기본 모델로 하여 skirt의 형상이 다른 3장의 냉각판을 가진 네 가지 모델을 해석하였다. 해석에 이용한 냉각판의 기체분자 포획능력이 구속된 형상에서 얼마나 우수한가를 알아보기 위해 크라이오펌프의 입구 직경과 냉각판 중앙 원판의 직경비, 냉각판 사이의 거리, 그리고 skirt의 길이를 변화시켜가며 극저온 냉각판에 직접 응축되는 typeII가스와 흡착제가 도포된 부분에 의해 흡착되는 typeIII가스로 분류하여 해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 크라이오펌프의 입구 직경과 냉각판 중앙 원판의 직경비가 증가함에 따라 typeII가스와 typeIII가스 모두 기체분자 포획능력이 증가하며 극저온 냉각판 사이 거리의 변화에 따른 기체분자 포획능력은 typeII가스의 경우 극저온 냉각판 사이의 거리가 증가할수록 증가한다. 하지만 typeIII가스는 모델 A, C의 경우 증가하고 모델 B, D의 경우 증가하다가 다시 약간 감소한다. skirt 길이 변화에 따른 기체분자 포획능력은 두 가스 모두 skirt 길이가 증가함에 따라 점점 급격하게 증가하고 모델 B, D는 나머지 두 모델에 비해 큰 값을 갖는다. 기체분자 포획능력을 해석한 결과를 실제 배기속도와 비교할 경우 절대적 수치로써의 비교는 어려우나 각 모델의 형상의 차이에 의한 상대적인 비교는 가능하다.

반도체 생산 공정은 청정 환경을 요구하며, 이를 위해서는 고진공 환경이 필수적인 요소이다. 반도체 생산 라인의 고진공 환경 조성을 위해서는 주로 복합 분자 펌프와 크라이오 펌프가 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 상용 크라이오 펌프에 사용되던 GM 극저온 냉동기를 맥동관 냉동기로 대체하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 맥동관 냉동기는 저온부에 움직이는 부분이 없어 진동이 작고, 신뢰성이 높은 장점이 있어 이를 이용한 크라이오 펌프는 반도체 생산 공정의 공정 정밀도 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 맥동관 냉동기는 크라이오 펌프에 사용하기 위하여 2단으로 구성되며, 저온부가 U자 형상으로 개발되었다. 상용화를 고려하여 로터리 밸브와 위상조절기구가 위치하는 상온부는 일체형으로 제작하였다. 제작된 맥동관 냉동기의 기초 냉각 성능 시험 결과 부하가 없는 조건에서 최저도달온도는 1단과 2단에서 각각 42.53 K과 8.68 K 이었으며, 부하 시험 결과 1단과 2단에서 각각 40 W at 82.97 K, 10 W at 20.51 K의 냉각 능력을 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 개발된 맥동관 냉동기에 복사차폐막 및 1차, 2차 냉각판을 설치하여 크라이오 펌프를 구성하였고, 기체 질소에 대한 배기 속도 측정 시험을 수행하였다. 배기속도 측정 결과 배기속도는 2차 냉각판의 형상에 크게 영향을 받는 것이 확인되었으며, 약 650 L/의 배기속도를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 크라이오 펌프로 작동시 맥동관 냉동기의 동작 특성 및 배기 속도 향상을 위한 방안을 논의하였다.

Estrogen has dramatic effects on the development and function of the reproductive tract in mammals. Although diethylstilbestrol (DES) triggers the development of reproductive organs in immature animals, continued exposure to DES induces dysfunction of the female reproductive tract in mice. To investigate the effects of neonatal estrogen exposure on the reproductive tract of female chickens, we implanted DES pellets into the abdominal region of immature female chicks and then examined the effects of DES on the oviducts of both immature chicks and sexually mature chickens (30 weeks old). DES induced mass growth and differentiation of the oviduct in immature chicks. The chick oviduct increased by 2.7- and 29-fold in length and weight, respectively, following primary DES stimulation. In secondary DES stimulation, the length and weight of the chick oviduct increased by 4.5- and 74-fold, respectively. Additionally, DES treatments caused abnormal development of the infundibulum and magnum in hen oviducts. Furthermore, infundibulum abnormality gave rise to unusual ovulation of follicles and resulted in infertility and dysfunction of the magnum, such as less production of egg white proteins. Our results indicate that DES exposure during early developmental stages in chickens has detrimental effects on the development and maintenance of the female reproductive tract after sexual maturation.

We propose the fast full search algorithm that reduces the computational load of the block matching algorithm which is used for a motion estimation in the video coding. Since the conventional spiral search method starts searching at the center of the search window and then moves search point to estimate the motion vector pixel by pixel, it is good for the slow motion picture. However we proposed the efficient motion estimation method which is good for the fast and slow motion picture. Firstly, when finding the initial threshold value, we use the expanded predictor that can approximately calculate minimum threshold value. The proposed algorithm estimates the motion in the new search order after partitioning the search window and adapt the directional search order in the re-divided search window. At the result, we can check that the proposed algorithm reduces the computational load 94% in average compared to the conventional spiral full search algorithm without any loss of image quality.

Coccidioidomycosis is a rare systemic fungal infection in Korea. However, the incidence of coccidioidomycosis has recently begun to increase due to the increasing incidence of people traveling overseas to endemic areas. In previously reported cases of coccidioidomycosis in Korea, the radiographic findings usually showed a solitary pulmonary nodule, pleural effusion, cavitation, and hilar lymphadenopathy, but no miliary nodules. We report a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis with miliary nodules in an immunocompetent patient. A 32 year old male, who had traveled in Corona, New Mexico, USA, was admitted for an evaluation of persistent cough with fever. Chest radiography revealed initially diffuse multiple small nodules that appeared to be miliary tuberculosis. However, a subsequent evaluation revealed that he had disseminated coccidioidomycosis.
