This paper presents a new algorithm called the adaptive logarithmic increase and adaptive decrease algorithm (A-LIAD), which mainly addresses the Round-Trip Time (RTT) fairness problem in satellite networks with a very high propagation delay as an alternative to the current TCP congestion control algorithm. We defined a new increasing function in the fashion of a logarithm depending on the increasing factor ${\alpha}$, which is different from the other logarithmic increase algorithm adopting a fixed value of ${\alpha}$ = 2 leading to a binary increase. In A-LIAD, the ${\alpha}$ value is derived in the RTT function through the analysis. With the modification of the increasing function applied for the congestion avoidance phase, a hybrid scheme is also presented for the slow start phase. From this hybrid scheme, we can avoid an overshooting problem during a slow start phase even without a SACK option. To verify the feasibility of the algorithm for deployment in a high-speed and long-distance network, several aspects are evaluated through an NS-2 simulation. We performed simulations for intra- and interfairness as well as utilization in different conditions of varying RTT, bandwidth, and PER. From these simulations, we showed that although A-LIAD is not the best in all aspects, it provides a competitive performance in almost all aspects, especially in the start-up and packet loss impact, and thus can be an alternative TCP congestion control algorithm for high BDP networks including a satellite network.

인터넷에서 널리 사용되고 있는 수송 계층 프로토콜인 TCP(transmission control protocol)의 혼잡제어(congestion control) 기능은 손실된 패킷을 감지하고 복구하기 위한 손실 복구(loss recovery) 과정을 포함한다. 손실 복구 과정은 fast retransmit와 fast recovery 두 개의 알고리듬으로 이루어지는데 불필요한 재전송 타임아웃을 방지하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 그 결과로 최근에는 선택 승인(selective acknowledgement) 옵션과 제한 전송(limited transmit) 기법이 제안되어 IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)의 표준 문서로 채택되었다. 최근에는 재전송된 패킷이 다시 손실되는 경우 발생하는 타임아웃을 방지하기 위한 재전송 손실 복구(lost retransmission detection)를 위한 방법이 제시되었다. 그러나 아직 재전송 손실 복구 기능의 TCP 혼잡 윈도우의 가장 기본적인 동작 원칙인 AIMD (additive increase multiplicative decrease) 측면에서의 분석이 되어 있지 않은 상태이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 고려한 재전송 손실 복구 알고리듬의 동작을 시뮬레이션을 통해 평가한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the cooking process of red beans used to prepare Bab (cooked rice) in cooking books published from late 19th century to the present. There are 3 different types of Bab that use red beans; Jungdeungbab, Patbab and Patsura, and cooking process vary between different cooking books. For making Jungdeungbab, one method is to cook the red beans in the water first, and then only the water, after draining the cooked red beans, is used to cook rice. The other method is to smash the cooked red beans and collect the water that passes through the smashed red beans to cook the rice. For Patbab, 2 cooking methods were found. One is to cook the whole red beans first and then to add them to the rice for cooking. Another method is to break the red beans into two pieces and mix them with rice and cook them together. Patsura is the red bean used to prepare the Bab offered to Kings during the Chosun dynasty(1392~1910). The cooking process of Patsura is similar to both Jundeungbab and Patbab. In Ijogungjeongyoritonggo(1957), the cooking method of Patsura is similar to that of Patbab; breaking red beans into two pieces and then mixing them with rice and cooking them together. Another method, which is similar to Jungdeungbab, is found in Ijogungjeongyoritonggo(1957) and Hangukyoribaekguasajeon(1976). In Ijogungjeongyoritonggo(1957), the cooking method is to cook the red beans first and then squeeze them after putting them into a sack and then using the extract to cook rice. In Hangukyoribaekguasajeon(1976), the red bean is prepared by first cooking red beans in water, and then only the water, after draining the cooked red bean, is used to cook rice. In further studies, the cooking procedures used in the previous period of the late 19th century should be examined.

The device for intervertebral assisted motion (DIAM) is a dynamic implant that consists of a silicone bumper enveloped by a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber sack. Silicone and PET were used because of their biological inertness, but repetitive motion of the spine can cause wear on the implant nonetheless. The purpose of this study is to report a case of foreign body reaction (FBR) against a DIAM. A 72-year-old female patient presented with lower back pain and both legs radiating pain. She had undergone DIAM implantation at L4-5 for spinal stenosis 5 years previously. The intervertebral disc space of L4-5, where the DIAM was inserted, had collapsed and degenerative scoliosis had developed due to left-side collapse. MRI showed L3-4 thecal sac compression and left L4-5 foraminal stenosis. The patient underwent removal of the DIAM and instrumented fusion from L3 to L5. During surgery, fluid and granulation tissue were evident around the DIAM. Histopathology showed scattered wear debris from the DIAM causing chronic inflammation due to the resulting FBR. A FBR due to wear debris of a DIAM can induce a hypersensitivity reaction and bone resorption around the implant, causing it to loosen.

현재 네트워크에서는 호스트가 다중의 액세스 포인트를 통해 인터넷에 접속될 수 있는 경우를 빈번하게 발견할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 사용자 플로우가 사용할 수 있는 가용대역폭을 높이기 위해 이들 다중 인터페이스로의 경로에 효율적으로 부하를 분산하는 방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 멀티호밍을 지원하는 새로운 연결기반 전송 계층 프로토콜 표준인 SCTP(Stream Control Transmission protocol)가 다중 인터페이스로 부하를 분산하도록 확장하였고, 이를 LS(Load Sharing) 모드 서비스라 명명하였다. LS 모드 서비스는 흐름 제어와 흔잡 제어를 분리하였으며, 혼잡 윈도우에 비례하여 각 인터페이스 경로에 데이타를 분배한다. 또한, 특정 경로에서의 손실이 다른 경로에 미치는 영향을 최소화하기 위해 중복적인 패킷 재전송을 하도록 하였으며, SACK이 순서대로 도착하지 않는 경우에도 수신자 윈도우를 제대로 파악할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 이로 인해 LS 모드 서비스는 다중 인터페이스를 사용함으로 인해 발생하는 부작용을 최소화하는 동시에 가용대역폭 향상을 위한 효율적인 부하 분산을 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방안이 경로 간 대역폭 차이에 관계없이 두 경로에서 가용한 대역폭의 합에 가까운 작업량을 달성함을 볼 수 있었다 또한 지연이 투 배까지 되는 경로를 사용할 때에도 단일 경로 사용에 비해 20%의 성능향상을 가져올 수 있음을 보았다.

매년마다 신장질환으로 고통 받는 사람들이 증가하는 추세이다. 가장 흔한 치료법 중 하나는 혈액 투석인데, 이 방법은 많은 시간이 걸리고, 비용이 많이 드는 방법이다. 이러한 이유 때문에, 인공신장 연구의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 혈액에서 크레아티닌을 여과하는 것은 신장의 주요 기능 중 하나이다. 우리는 이 기능에 초점을 맞춘 새로운 2 채널 마이크로 플루이딕 칩을 고안하였다. 두 개의 PDMS 층을 결합하기 위하여, 아크릴을 가공한 하우징 시스템이 개발하였으며, 이 방법은 여과막을 쉽게 바꿀 수 있다는 이점이 있다. 우리는 알루미늄 양극 산화물(AAO)을 여과막으로 사용하였다. 여과된 용액은 자페반응(Jaffe reation)을 이용하여, 크레아티닌 농도별 흡광도 차이를 분석하였다. 크레아티닌의 양에 대한 표준식을 만들어, 측정한 데이터를 보간하여 여과된 용액의 농도를 확인하였다. 실험을 통하여 유량 및 크레아티닌 농도에 따른 여과율을 얻을 수 있었다.

Sugar spheres loaded with melatonin (MT) were coated with $Aquacoat^{\circledR}$ to control the release rate of MT over 8 hours. A zero-order release pattern over 8 hours was obtained with 20% coating on 8-10 mesh beads in USP basket dissolution studies. MT in 20% coated beads was quite stable at room temperature with less than 5% MT degraded during 6 months' storage. Dissolution profiles were also unchanged after 6 months. An oral preparation containing MT-loaded uncoated beads for immediate release and 20% coated beads with $Aquacoat^{\circledR}$ for controlled release over 8 hours was evaluated in six human subjects. When total 0.5 mg MT as low dose (immediate release portion of MT, 0.1 mg) was administered to four subjects, average peak plasma MT concentration was reached at about 600 pg/ml and maintained at about 10 pg/ml over 8 hours. Plasma MT concentration-time profiles were similar in shape to computer-simulated profiles. However, maximal plasma MT concentrations were three times greater compared to computer simulated curve. These results suggest that MT dose, ratio of immediate and controlled release MT, and pharmacokinetic parameters selected are adjusted to mimic endogenous MT concentration-time curve. In another study, 0.2 mg MT having 10% of immediate release portion and 80% controlled release portion produced plasma MT concentration-time curve which is more similar to endogenous profiles. A low bioavailability (<20%) may result from extensive first pass metabolism and remaining amounts of MT from controlled beads. A good correlation between plasma MT concentration and urinary excretion rate of 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (6-STMT), a major metabolite of MT was observed. As plasma MT concentration increased, urinary excretion rate of 6-STMT increased concomitantly. The linear relation between plasma MT and urinary excretion rate of 6-STMT was statistically significant. This result suggests that urinary 6-STMT may be used as an index of circadian rhythms of MT in humans.

Retarding effects of the dietary fibers from persimmon peels (PTDF ; total dietary fibers, PIDF ; insoluble dietary fibers, PSDF ; soluble dietary fibers) and dried jujubes (JTDF ; total dietary fibers, JIDF ; insoluble dietary fibers, JSDF ; soluble dietary fibers) on glucose, bile acid and cadmium transport were evaluated by in vitro dialysis sack method. These effects were compared with those of commerical citrus pectin, CM-cellulose (CMC) and $\alpha$-cellulose. Yields of PTDF, PIDF and PSDF on wet weight basis were 14.04% , 11.61%, 1.76%, respectively, and those from dried jujubes were 14.80%, 9.98% and 2.80%, respectively. The amount of soluble fibers in JTDF was higher than PTDF. Soluble fibers had the retarding effects on glucose transport but insoluble fibers did not have. CM-cellulose showed the greatest retarding effect, which was followed by citrus pectin and JSDF. Among the soluble fibers, PSDF had the lowest retardig effect. Retarding effect of TDF was dependent upon the amount of SDF in TDF. Regarding bile acid dialysis , insoluble dietary fibers as well as soluble dietary fibers showed the retarding effects, among which JSDF had the greatest retarding effects, among which JSDF had the greatest retarding effect, followed by citrus pectin. Among the extracted fibers, dietary fibers from dried jujubes were more effective than these from persimmon peels, and SDF seemed to show higher retarding effects than IDF and TDF. On cadmium transport retardation , all dietary fibers except $\alpha$-cellulose had the retarding effects and PSDF showed the greatest effect which was followed by PIDF and CMC, The extracted fibers showed higher retarding effect on Cd transport than glucose and bile acid transport, and dietary fibers from persimmon peels showed higher retarding effects than those from dried jujubes.

TCP 처리율(throughput) 저하의 가장 큰 원인인 재전송 타임아웃(retransmission timeout)을 사전에 방지하기 위한 많은 노력들이 진행되어 왔다. TCP 손실 복구 알고리듬 자체의 오 동작으로 발생하는 타임아웃의 원인은 크게 세 가지로 분류될 수 있다. 현재 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 TCP Reno의 동일한 윈도우께서 발생한 여러 개의 패킷 손실로 인한 타임아웃은 TCP NewReno 혹은 선택 승인(selective acknowledgement) 옵션을 통해서 방지할 수 있고, 윈도우의 크기가 작은 상황에서 중복 승인 패킷(duplicate acknowledgement)의 부족으로 인해서 발생하는 패킷 손실은 제한 전송(Limited Transmit) 기법에 의해서 방지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 TCP 타임아웃이 발생하는 상황과 이를 완화하기 위한 방안들로 인한 개선 정도를 정확한 모델링을 통한 수학적 분석과 시뮬레이션을 통해서 비교 분석한다. 본 논문의 결과를 토대로 앞으로 사용할 TCP의 패킷 손실 정도에 따른 손실 복구(loss recovery)성능을 정량적으로 분석하고 예측하는 것이 가능하다. TCP의 성능은 손실 복구 과정의 성능에 크게 좌우된다는 점을 고려할 때 이는 매우 큰 중요성을 가진다.

Extractives of garlic (Allium scorodorpasum) and green pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were used to prevent and exterminate rice weevils which contaminate stored rice. The extractives exhibited great efficacy against Sitophilus oryzae and Tribolium castaneum by annihilating all the weevils contained in a bottle. Furthermore, kraft paper coated by 5% extractives also displayed good effectiveness against the rice weevils. When rice weevils were stored with rice in a sack made of extractives-coated kraft paper, the number of living insects was sharply decreased according to elapsed time. In particular, 1,4-benzoquinone, which is very harmful to human, was detected from rice contaminated by Sitophilus oryzae and Tribolium castaneum through the analysis of GC/MS.
