In this paper, we developed MoM(Moment of Method) forward solver to implement the inverse scattering by using BIM(Born Iterative Method) for the detection of cancer in human body Especially, we adopted two-dimensional breast structure to analyze electromagnetic scattered phenomena. For the two-dimensional scattering structure, the integral equations is solved with MoM employing two-dimensional Green's function. Also, calculated results are compared with the measured results obtained from breast cancer detecting equipment.

The screening of various molecular descriptors for predicting carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic activities of chlorinated aliphatic compounds as drinking water disinfection byproducts (DBPs) has been investigated for the application of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). The present work embodies the study of relationship between molecular descriptors and toxicity parameters of the genotoxicity endpoints for the screening of relevant molecular descriptors. The toxicity Indices for 29 compounds constituting the testing set were computed by the PASS program and active values were chosen. We investigate feasibility of screening descriptors and of their applications among different genotoxic endpoints. The correlation to teratogenicity of all 29 compounds was significantly improved when the same analysis was done with 20 alkanes only without alkene compounds. The HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy and number of Cl parameters were dominantly contributed.

The structure of kapok fiber was characterized using FTIR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectrometers, elemental analyzer, x-ray diffractometer, SEM and IMT I-Solution ver 7.5. The kapok has a hollow tube shape and is composed of cellulose I with crystallinity of 47.95%. To develop novel oil-sorbent materials necessary to avoid the environmental pollution by spilled oil, the oil absorption capacity of various fibers such as kapok, polypropylene(PP), acryl, bamboo, cotton, rayon and wool fibers is compared in this study. The kapok fiber had the highest oil absorption capacity among the fibers and its water absorption capacity was the least. The kapok fiber selectively absorbed significant amounts of oils (43g/g of fiber for kerosene, 65g/g of fiber for soybean oil), which might be due to higher hydrophobicity of the kapok fiber, suggesting that kapok fiber may have high potential as excellent oil-absorbent materials.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the initial detection time and development of the fetal genital structures using ultrasound in twelve pregnant small bitches. The initial detection time of the fetal genital structures was as follows: genital tubercle at days 32.6; os penis at days 45.2; labia at days 45.7; scrotum at days 47.5. Ultrasonograms of fetal genital structure according to gestational stage were as follows: Undifferentiated stage (before day 35), the genital tubercle was observed to have a small elevation and just a hyper-echogenic structure in the midline between the umbilical cord and the tail in male and female fetus. Migration stage (between day 35~45), the genital tubercle was observed as a hyper-echogenic, bilobular, oval shaped and the genital tubercle began to migrate from the initial position toward the umbilical cord in males, and toward the tail in females. Differentiated stage (after day 46), the penis and os penis were observed to stand out in the abdominal wall and the scrotum was observed toward the perineal region in male fetuses. The labia was detected at the base of the tail in female fetuses. These results indicate that ultrasound of fetal genital structures could be useful for fetal gender determination and a completely prepartum evaluation of the canine fetus.

Recently air pollution has become an important issue. So, as tile number of vehicles increases, the noise pollution has become one of the most serious social issues nowadays. It is a muffler, which is one of the vehicle components. that has the hugest impact on the noise from the vehicle. And it also has a direct influence on the engine performance. So lately the research is proceeding on tile semi-active muffler which can control the back pressure variably by setting up the exhaust variable valve in the baffle to improve its internal structure. The inner parts of muffler which consist of a baffle, pipes and etc. appear to have the complicated turbulence phenomena by the pulsational wave of an unsteady state in the engine and by the structural characteristics of the inner parts. To analyze these phenomena, it is required to have an analysis of its constant quantity and quality. Therefore this study is to analyze with PIV measurement which can analyze the time and space variables, not with the point measurement method like former multi-point anemometer. It is to suggest proper design variables which need to make internal structure of the muffler improve though comparison between the passive type muffler and the semi-active muffler by fabricating a muffler which can be visualized.

웹 온톨로지 언어의 개발에 따라 웹 온톨롤지를 저장하기 위한 다양한 저장소들이 개발되었으며 이러한 웹 저장소는 관계형 데이터베이스 모델을 기반으로 하고 있다. 또한 웹 온톨로지 데이터를 검색하기 위한 질의 언어로서 W3C에서 SPARQL을 제안하였다. 웹 온톨로지 저장소로서 관계형 데이터베이스가 활발히 개발되고 SPARQL의 이용이 증가함에 따라 SPARQL을 SQL로 변환 하는 알고리즘의 필요성이 대두되었다. 지금까지 제안된 변환 알고리즘들은 SPARQL-to-SQL 변환 알고리즘이 저장소 구조에 종속적이라는 문제점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 관계형 뷰를 기반으로 저장소에 독립적인 변환 알고리즘을 활용할 수 있는 모델이 제안되었다. 그러나 제안된 모델에서 변환 알고리즘을 독립적으로 활용하기 위해서는 사전에 사용자가 SQL 문을 작성하여 수동적으로 뷰를 생성해 주어야 한다. 이 경우 수동적인 SQL 작성으로 인한 불편함과 사용자의 실수로 인한 SQL문의 오류가 생길 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 다양한 웹 온톨로지 저장소 모델 OWL 관련 시스템 개발에 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Jena 저장소를 이용하여 독립적 저장소 활용을 위한 뷰 생성 독인 Jena-to-TRIPLES 변환 도구를 제안한다.

Design of IPI(Inverted PI) feeding internal antenna for the gain improvement of mobile phone was proposed. IPI feeding structure affects on both low radiation resistance of antenna and increase current for the internal antenna such as IFA(Inverted F Antenna). By these facts, antenna fed by IPI can get the gain improvement with increasing radiation efficiency. For the verification, we applied IPI feeding structure to conventional quad band IFA. Measurement shows that IPI-IFA has 0.3~2.0[dB] higher gain than conventional IFA on GSM/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA band.

Combustion experiments were conducted at three different fuels ($CH_4$, $C_2H_4$ and $C_3H_8$) to investigate the effects of combustor pressure (30 ~ -30 kPa) on combustion charateristics and reaction zone structure. Regardless of the fuels, emission index of CO (EICO) increased with decreasing combustor pressure, and EICO of $C_2H_4$ was mostly affected by changing combustor pressure at subatmospheric pressure. In order to observe reaction zone, $OH^*$, $CH^*$ and ${C_2}^*$ chemiluminescence intensity were measured. The sequence of the chemiluminescence intensity peak position was affected by chemical characteristics of fuels rather than changing combustor pressure. The emission zone thickness of $C_2H_4$ and $C_3H_8$, defined by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of $CH^*$ intensity profile, were increased with decreasing combustor pressure. however, the thickness of $C_2H_4$ exhibited the opposite tendency due to the characteristics of the fuel as the bond structure.

Biofuel production using lignocellulosic biomass is gaining attention because it can be substituted for fossil fuels without competing with edible resources. However, because Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not have a ${\text\tiny{D}}$-xylose metabolic pathway, oxidoreductase or isomerase pathways must be introduced to utilize ${\text\tiny{D}}$-xylose from lignocellulosic biomass in S. cerevisiae. To elucidate the biochemical properties of xylose isomerase (XI) from Piromyces sp. E2 (PsXI), we determine its crystal structure in complex with substrate mimic glycerol. An amino-acid sequence comparison with other reported XIs and relative activity measurements using five kinds of divalent metal ions confirmed that PsXI belongs to class II XIs. Moreover kinetic analysis of PsXI was also performed using $Mn^{2+}$, the preferred divalent metal ion for PsXI. In addition, the substrate-binding mode of PsXI could be predicted with the substrate mimic glycerol bound to the active site. These studies may provide structural information to enhance ${\text\tiny{D}}$-xylose utilization for biofuel production.
