  • The verification phase of knowledge base is an important part for developing reliable expert systems, especially in nuclear industry. Although several strategies or tools have been developed to perform potential ewer checking, they often neglect the reliability of verification methods. Because a Petri net provides a uniform mathematical formalization of knowledge base, it has been employed for knowledge base verification. In this work, we devise and suggest an automated tool, called COKEP (Checker Of Knowledge base using Extended Petri net), for detecting incorrectness, inconsistency, and incompleteness in a knowledge base. The scope of the verification problem is expanded to chained errors, unlike previous studies that assumed error incidence to be limited to rule pairs only. In addition, we consider certainty factor in checking, because most of knowledge bases have certainty factors.

  • The purpose of this paper is to publish IITA's R&D planning and selection procedures for review by outside panels and by industry. The paper illustrates the detailed procedure and criteria used at each phase of evaluation process to the results of National Survey for Information and Telecommunication Technology Needs. Total 293 project ideas come from industry, government-supported research institutes, and universities. Candidate projects are not evaluated on the basis of what technology is proposed, but on how sound the proposed idea is within that technology and on the potential economic impact. In addition, an industrial assessment of the project ideas was performed as part of an evaluation process. At a final stage, 90 projects are selected.

  • Pivaloyloxymethyl ester of piperacillin was synthesized by reacting sodium piperacillin with chloromethyl pivalate, and its chemical structure was determined by infrared and $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic methods. The pharmaceutical properties of the ester were investigated to assess its potential as a novel prodrug of piperacillin. The interface transfer of piperacillin and the ester was studied in a two-phase in vitro system composed of aqueous pH buffers and n-octanol. The ester was more lipophilic, and less water soluble above pH 4.0 than piperacillin. Significant antibacterial activity was not observed in the ester in vitro, but the ester was hydrolyzed into the parent drug in the rat liver homogenate. The serum levels of orally administered ester suspension containing 0.1% Tween 80 were measured in rabbits. It was found that the ester showed higher blood level, comparing with no observation of piperacillin in serum, but the time reaching the maximum serum concentration was 5 hr.

  • 본 논문은 ‘파트 1’에 그 기초를 두었으며, 실제 실험 상황에의 응용예를 들었다. 보편적인 ‘이중-우물 위치 진동기(double-well potential vibrator)'를 외부 공기압 감쇠기를 장치할 수 있도록 수정하였다. 감쇠는 높음 또는 낮음 으로 조정할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 실험계는 주기운동부터 카오스 운동까지 다양한 동적 특성을 보여준다. 힘-위상(Force-Stare Mapping) 방법이 선형상태 및 카오스상태에 응용되었으며, 특히 감쇠의 높고 낮음의 파악에 그 중점을 두었다. 그리고 , 부분발산지수들(Short term averaged Lyapunov exponents)의 합이 또한 감쇠를 파악함과 동시에 높은 감쇠에서 낮은 감쇠로의 변화를 감시할 수 있음을 보였다. 이 두가지 방법들을 비교하였으며 논하였다.

  • During the preliminary design phase of a supersonic aircraft, it is necessary to evaluate many potential engine/airframe combinations to determine the best solution to given set of mission requirements. And it is very important to establish a methodology to predict precisely afterbody drag so that accurate engine installed performance can be estimated. It was carried out in this paper to establish a methodology to predict afterbody drag of F-15K supersonic aircraft based on IMS(Integral Mean Slope) methodology, acquire afterbody drag data and compare its calculated data with the test data acquired from the wind tunnel test data based on 4.7% model scale. The comparison results showed good agreement between the calculated data and test data and it was found that the methodology described here to predict and test afterbody drag is acceptable.

  • TGF-${\beta}$ pathway is being extensively evaluated as a potential therapeutic target. The transforming growth factor-${\beta}$ (TGF-${\beta}$) signaling pathway has the dual role in both tumor suppression and tumor promotion. To design cancer therapeutics successfully, it is important to understand TGF-${\beta}$ related functional contexts. This review discusses the molecular mechanism of the TGF-${\beta}$ pathway and describes the different ways of tumor suppression and promotion by TGF-${\beta}$. In the last part of the review, the data on targeting TGF-${\beta}$ pathway for cancer treatment is assessed. The TGF-${\beta}$ inhibitors in pre-clinical studies, and Phase I and II clinical trials are updated.

  • We have fabricated CIGS thin film absorber layers by the evaporation of CIGS powders which were synthesized by solutions with different atomic ratio compositions. We found that the polycrystalline structural properties and optical properties of the deposited CIGS thin films were strongly dependent on the CIGS powder synthesis solution compositions. For three different solution compositions, Cu:In:Ga:Se= 4:3:1:8, 8:3:1:8, 12:3:1,8, the deposited thin film crystalline structures were varied form InSe crystalline structure to CIGS chalcopyrite structures. Our results showed that CIGS powder evaporation is potential for the one step fabrication process for CIGS thin film absorber layer deposition.

  • This study is to propose a sales forecasting framework for new products in the prelaunch phase where no saies data are available. For the purpose we first develop an extended Bass model with the dynamic market potential and then propose an estimation method based on the market survey and scenario methodology. The proposed parameter estimation method is different from previous studies in that most of them have only Proposed the management judgments or analogies. We also apply the proposed model to satellite DMB market in Korea to verify the model.

  • Along with the growth of conventional ferrous powder metallurgy (PM), PM of aluminum alloys has been intensively investigated in Japan. Although rapidly solidified aluminum alloy powder was first used in the USA,/sup 1)/ commercialization for consumer market was first realized in Japan./sup 2)/ In order to achieve the viable cost-performance including Near Net Shape (NNS) formability, we developed three processes, powder extrusion, powder forging and sintering. The new powder extrusion process does not use either capsulation or vacuum degassing. The new powder forging does not need lateral flow. The new sintering process does not use liquid phase. The performance achieved by the processes is outstanding mechanical or physical properties that has potential to substitute cast iron, steel, titanium Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) or Ingot Metallurgy (IM) aluminum alloys. Cooperation with customers, powder suppliers and research associations contributed to the advancement of PM aluminum alloys in Japan.

  • Cobalt coated tungsten carbide-cobalt composite powder has been prepared through wet chemical reduction method. The cobalt sulfate solution was converted to the cobalt chloride then the cobalt hydroxide. The tungsten carbide powders were added in to the cobalt hydroxide, the cobalt hydroxide was reduced and coated over tungsten carbide powder using hypo-phosphorous acid. Both the cobalt and the tungsten carbide phase peaks were evident in the tungsten carbide-cobalt composite powder by X-ray diffraction. The average particle size measured via scanning electron microscope, particle size analysis was around 380 nm and the thickness of coated cobalt was determined to be 30~40 nm by transmission electron microscopy.
