  • Applications deployed in cloud receive a huge volume of requests from geographically distributed users whose satisfaction with the cloud service is directly proportional to the efficiency with which the requests are handled. Assignment of user requests based on appropriate load balancing principles significantly improves the performance of such cloud-based applications. To study the behavior of such systems, there is a need for simulation tools that will help the designer to set a test bed and evaluate the performance of the system by experimenting with different load balancing principles. In this paper, a novel architecture for cloud called Request Assignment Simulator (RAS) is proposed. It is a customizable, visual tool that simulates the request assignment process based on load balancing principles with a set of parameters that impact resource utilization. This simulator will help to ascertain the best possible resource allocation technique by facilitating the designer to apply and test different load balancing principles for a given scenario.

  • Ral GDP dissociation stimulator (Ral GDS) has been found to be an effector protein of Ras, and Ral, a member of small GTP-binding protein (G protein) superfamily, has been suggested to act downstream of Ras. Ral GDP dissociation stimulator-like (RGL) shares 50% amino acid identity with Ral GDP dissociation stimulator, and assumed to possess similar functional role. Using yeast two-hybrid screening, we found that dopamine D3 receptor interacts with RGL. Since RGL is known to regulate the expression of c-fos promoter, effects of D3R on gene expression of c-fos promoter was studied. (omitted)

  • Inhibitors of farnesyltransferase (FT), a key enzyme in the post-translational modifications of Ras proteins, have been extensively studied as novel anticancer agents in the preclinical stages, some of which are currently in clinical development. Previously, it has been reported that a novel FT inhibitor LB42907 inhibits Ras farnesylation in the nanomolar range in vitro. The aim of this study was to assess the antitumor efficacy of LB42907 in vitro and in vivo. Anchorage-independent growth of various human tumor cell lines was potently inhibited by treatment with LB42907, comparable to other FT inhibitors in clinical development. In the nude mouse, oral administration of LB42907 demonstrated potent antitumor activity in several human tumor xenograft models including bladder, lung and pancreas origin. Interestingly, significant tumor regression in EJ (bladder) and A549 (lung) xenografts was induced by LB42907 treatment. The effectiveness of LB42907 was also investigated in simultaneous combination with paclitaxel, vincristine, cisplatin or gemcitabine against NCI-H460, A549, and HCT116 cells in vitro using median-effect analysis. LB42907 markedly synergized with most anticancer drugs tested in this study in NCI-H460 cell. In contrast, LB42907 displayed antagonism or partial synergism with these drugs in A549 and HCT116 cells, depending on the class of combined drugs and/ or the level of cytotoxicity. Our results demonstrate that LB42907 is an effective antitumor agent in vitro and in vivo and combination of LB42907 with other chemotherapeutic drugs results in synergistic or antagonistic effects mainly in a cell line-dependent manner. Further preclinical study is warranted.

  • 연구배경 : 미만성 범세기관지염 (Diffuse panbronchiolitis)은 만성 기침, 화농성 객담과 호흡곤란을 주증상으로 하며, 호흡세기관지에 국한된 만성 염증성 질환으로 비교적 근래에 알려진 질환이다. 이 질환은 주로 일본에서 많이 보고되었는데, 우리나라에서 지금까지 발견된 환자의 수는 적으나 최근 수년간 이 질환에 대한 인식이 높아지면서 보고되는 증례가 많아지고 있다. 이 질환은 주로 임삼증상, HRCT 및 조직검사로 진단되는데, 특히 HRCT가 진단에 중요한 비중을 차지하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 HRCT 소견과 임상소견간에 어떤 상관관계가 있는지에 대해서는 아직 불확실하며, 폐환기주사에서 어떤 특정적인 소견이 나타나는 지에 대해서도 별로 연구된 바가 없다. 방법 : 이에 저자들은 최근 2년동안 미만성 범세기관지염으로 진단된 12명 환자들을 대상으로 임상적 특징을 관찰하고, HRCT 소견과 임상소견과의 상관관계를 관찰하는 한편, 폐환기주사에서 나타나는 특징적인 소견을 분석해 보았다. 결과 : l. 연령은 31-83세(평균 54.4세)에 분포하였고 남녀비는 4:8이었으며, 부비동염이 동반되었던 환자가 9명(75%)였다. 임상적 단계는 임상소견에 따라 3단계로 나누었는데, 각각 l 기(기관지수축과 저산소증)에 속하는 환자는 5명, 2기(기관지수축, 저산소증 및 호흡기 감염증)는 4명, 3기(기관지수축, 저산소증, 고탄산혈증, Pseudomonas에 의한 호흡기 감염증 및 우심부전)는 3명이었다. 2. HRCT 소견에 따라 4기로 나누었는데 l기는 한명도 없었으며, 2기가 4명, 3기가 5명, 4기가 3명으로서, 거의 모든 환자들이 발견 당시에 2기 이상임을 알 수 있었다. 그중 7예에서는 폐환기주사를 실시해 보았는데, 5예 (71.4 %)에서 이행부와 기도 중간부에 비정상적인 연무질침착이 나타나면서 말단 폐실질의 환기 결손소진을 보여서, 만성폐쇄성폐질환과는 대조적인 소견을 나타냈다. 3. 폐기능검사상 l예를 제외한 모든 환자에서 중등도 또는 중중의 폐쇄성 환기장애 소견을 보였고, 산소 투여없이 시행한 동맥혈가스 검사장 10예에서 저산소증, 2예에서 고탄산혈증의 소견을 나타냈다. 객담배양 검사상 P.aeruginosa가 자란 경우가 3예, K.pneumoniae는 2예, H. influenzae는 2예, S. aureus는 2예로 나타났다. 4. HRCT 병기가 높아질수록, 임상적 병기 (r=0.801, P < 0.01) 및 저산소증(r= -0.615, P < 0.05)이 심해지는 양상을 보였으며, ESR(r= 0.818, p < 0.01)도 상승되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 임상적 병기가 높아질수록 저산소증(r = -0.728, p < 0.01) 및 고탄산혈증 (r = 0.620, P < 0.05)이 심해지고, ESR(r= 0.662, p < 0.01)이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 보아 미만성 범세기관지염에서 HRCT 소견이 임상소견과도 밀접한 상관관계가 있기 때문에, HRCT는 미만성 범세기관지염의 진단, 중증도의 판정 및 경과 관찰에 유용할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 폐환기주사 역시 미만성 범세기관지염에서 특징적인 소견을 나타내므로, 이를 흉부 HRCT와 함께 병행한다면 미만성 범세기관지염의 진단이 더욱 용이할 것으로 추측되는 바이다.

  • Bradykinin receptor B2 (B2R) is a GPCR protein which binds with the inflammatory mediator hormone bradkynin. Kallidin, a decapeptide, also signals through this receptor. B2R is crucial in the cross-talk between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the kinin-kallikrein system (KKS) and in many processes including vasodilation, edema, smooth muscle spasm and pain fiber stimulation. Thus the structural study of the receptor becomes important. We have predicted the peptide structures of Bradykinin and Kallidin from their amino acid sequences and the structures were docked with the receptor structure. The results obtained from protein-protein docking could be helpful in studying the B2R structural features and in the pathophysiology in various diseases related to it.

  • Kringle 5 (K5), located outside of angiostain (K1-4) in human plasminogen, displays more potent antiangiogenic activity on endothelial cell proliferation than angiostatin itself. Using a yeast two-hybrid system in vivo, we have recently identified Rgl2 (guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator (RalGDS)-like factor 2) as a binding protein of human K5. In order to confirm in vitro protein interaction between K5 and Rgl2, we developed bacterial recombinant expression systems for them. K5 and Rgl2 proteins were expressed in high yields and purified into pure forms with His tags and GST fusion, respectively. GST-pull down experiments clearly demonstrated that K5 interacts specifically with Rgl2 in vitro. These results indicate that Rgl2 functions as a receptor protein for K5 in vitro as well as in vivo, leading to anti-angiogenesis through regulating Ras signaling pathways.

  • 본 논문은 현재 활발히 진행 중인 지속가능한 성장을 위한 원동력인 녹색성장과 관련하여 R&D 투자금액 중에서 IT와 관련된 연구개발투자로 인한 경제파급효과를 분석하였다. 정부가 추진중인 녹색성장 관련 연구개발 금액을 IT제조업, IT서비스업, 그리고 S/W 및 컴퓨터관련서비스로 각각 분류한 후 RAS기법을 활용하여 예측 분석하였다. 분석결과, 녹색성장 관련 IT제조업분야에 대한 투자로 인한 생산유발액은 약 3조 1,853억원으로 나타났으며, 그 뒤를 이어 IT서비스업이 약 1조 4,360억원, 그리고 S/W 및 컴퓨터관련서비스가 약 4.482억원으로 나타났다. 한편 수입유발액 역시 IT서비스업에 비해 IT 제조업이 그 수치가 높게 나타나고 있다. 또한 부가가치유발액은 IT서비스에 비해 IT제조업이 높게 나타나고 있는데, 이는 투자수요인 R&D금액이 IT제조업 부분이 IT서비스업에 비해 크기 때문에 나타난 결과라 할 수 있다. 마지막으로 취업유발인원은 IT제조업이 16,596명으로 가장 높고, 두 번째로 IT서비스업이 9,000명이고, 마지막으로 S/W 및 컴퓨터관련서비스가 3,616명으로 나타났다. 2009년에 대한 투자금액대비 경제적 파급효과인 점을 고려하면 장기적인 측면에서 지속적인 투자가 있을 시 산업부문간 발생될 효과는 더욱 더 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

  • In this paper, we propose the time synchronization module on fiber optic repeater to use optic line delay for obtaining time synchronization between up-link and down-link, in the 2.3 GHz WiBro network using TDD/OFDM (Time Division Duplex/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) Generally, when we use fiber optic repeater to remove the shade area, it occurs transmission delay which is caused by optic transmission between RAS (Radio Access Station) and fiber optic repeater and inner delay of fiber optic repeater. Because the WiBro system is adopting a TOO method and there exists the difference of switching time which is caused by these delay between up-link and down-link, it occurs ISI (Inter Symbol Interference), ICI (Inter Carrier Interference). These interference results in the reduction of the coverage. And the inconsistency between Up-Link and Down-Link switching time maybe gives rise to the interruption of communication. In order to prevent these cases, we propose synchronization module using analog optic line delay as the one of synchronizing up-link and down-link. And we propose the consideration factor for the designing time synchronization module and the feature of optic line of analog method. The measurement result of optic line time synchronization module of structure proposed is as follows, the delay error of $0.5{\mu}g$ and the insertion loss value below maximum 4.5dB in range of $0{\sim}40{\mu}s$. These results fully meet the specification of WiBro System.

  • The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of combined 1D/2D inundation simulation of riverside farmland using the Hydrologic Engineering Center - River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). We compared and analyzed inundation simulation results between 1D and combined 1D/2D hydraulic simulation using HEC-RAS. Calibration and validation of stream stage were performed using three rainfall events. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) and root mean square error (RMSE) between simulated and observed stream stage were 0.935 - 0.957 and 0.250 m - 0.283 m in calibration and validation, respectively. The inundation area showed no significant difference in 1D and combined 1D/2D simulation ($8.48km^2$ in 1D simulation, $8.75km^2$ in combined 1D/2D simulation). The average inundation depth by 1D simulation was 1.4 m deeper than combined 1D/2D simulation. In the lower inundation depth, the inundation area by combined 1D/2D simulation was larger than inundation area by 1D simulation. As the inundation depth increased, the inundation area by 1D simulation became wider. In the case of the 1D/2D combined simulation, low elevation areas along the river bank were inundated widely. Compared to 1D/2D combined simulation, the flood radius in some sections was longer in 1D simulation. In the 1D analysis, because the low altitude riverside farmlands are also assumed to stream, it is calculated that riverside farmlands have the same stage as the mainstream when the stream is overflowed. Therefore, the inundation area seems to be overestimated in those sections. In other regions, the inundation areas tend to be broken depending on overflow by each stream cross-section. In the case of river flooding, the overflow is expected to flow to the lower area depending on the terrain, such as the results of the combined 1D/2D simulation. It is concluded that the results of combined 1D/2D inundation simulation reflected the topographical characteristics of low-lying farmland.

  • 함정 외부 탑재 장비의 복잡한 형상에 의해서 발생하는 다중반사는 경로를 예측하기 어렵고 높은 RCS(Radar Cross Section)의 원인이 된다. 따라서 함정의 외부 탑재 장비의 최적배치 설계가 RAS(Radar Absorbing Structure) 방법으로 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 함정 외부 탑재 장비에서 발생하는 다중반사와 RCS를 최소화하기 위하여 함정 외부 탑재 장비 최적배치를 수행하였다. 외부 탑재 장비 최적배치에 사용된 알고리즘은 순차적 내림차순 방법을 이용하였다. 함정 외부 탑재 장비 최적배치를 수행하기 위하여 LCS-2 type을 해석 모델로 선정하였다. 계산 비용을 줄이기 위해서 장비의 기여도 분석 및 다중반사 경로 분석 등을 통해 최적 배치를 수행할 장비를 선정하였고 최적배치를 통해 RCS가 최소가 되는 최적배치 위치를 도출하였다. 또한 RCS 변화에 따른 레이다의 탐지거리 변화율을 이용하여 RCS 감소효과를 분석 하였다.
