Recently, various applications of location trigger service have been required and developed as users of location-based services are increasing. The location trigger is detecting event of entering in, existing in or leaving from pre-specified area, and then alerting by short message service, an e-mall or servicing other pre-defined action to mobile subscribers. The conventional methodology of supporting location trigger is detecting location trigger events as periodical requesting location of mobile communication terminal to location gateway server in mobile communication network. But these conventional methods cause mobile communication interruption when the location trigger services are overloaded; thereby inducing performance of core server to be fell off. So in this paper, we have studied a new location trigger technology, named multilevel location trigger, to reduce mobile core network sewer triggering bottleneck and power consumption caused embedded GPS device of mobile phone. Actually, as design and evaluating the performance of location trigger after building test-bed environment, we contribute toward improving echnology of location trigger.

Objective : In this study, the ability of Oriental medicine Samultanggamibang(SMTG) to induce apoptosis was investigated in B16F10 melanoma cells. Method : Tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay was performed for cytotoxicity test. Several new assays for the basis of biochemical events associated with apoptosis such as DNA fragmentation by a flow cytometry, caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage by Western blotting should be carried out potentially useful for the basis of biochemical events associated with apoptosis such as a flow cytometry and caspase-3 activation. Results : (1) The number of B16F10 melanoma cells was less than 30 % after exposure to 1 mg/ml SMTG for 48 h. SMTG increased cytotoxicity of B16F10 melanoma cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. (2) The percentage of apoptotic cells by flow cytometric analysis of the DNA-stained cells increased to 21 % at 24 h and 25 % at 48 h after treatment with 1 mg/ml SMTG. (3) SMTG-induced apoptosis was accompained by the activation of caspase-3 and the specific proteolytic cleavage of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. (4) SMTG induces the activation of caspase-3 and the specific proteolytic cleavage of poly-ADP-ribose polymearse and eventually leads to apoptosis through c-Jun NH2-terminal protein kinase (JNK)-dependent manner in B16F10 melanoma cells. Conclusion : SMTG had a strong cytotoxic effect of B16F10 melanoma cells.

A severe Phytophthora rot of strawberry caused by a species of Phytophthora has been widely occurred at major cultivation areas of Kimhae on August in 1997. Incidence of the disease was obtained in the range of 69.2~83.6% in surveyed 4 fields and showed an average of 75.2%. A species of Phytophthora was mostly isolated from the crown of infected strawberry plants and all the isolates were identified as P. nicotianae var. nicotianae (=P. parasitica). The fungus showed strong pathogenicity on strawberry by inoculation test. As a result of the leaf inoculation using mycelial disks of the fungus, both leaves and petioles were darkly browned, and were finally blighted. As a result of the root inoculation of zoospore suspension, both roots and crowns were rotten with dark brown. Although the fungus produced sporangia either on V-8 juice agar medium or liquid medium, the sporangia observed on the liquid medium appeared to be broadly turbinate and noncaducous. Moreover the fungus cultured on the liquid medium often produced sporangia having two papilla. The number of zoospores in sporangia was found to be ranged from 3 or 4 to as many as 20 or 25. In addition, the released zoospore from the sporangium became the cystospore during the prolonged culture of the fungus. The sporangia were measured as av. 49$\times$35 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with l/b ratio of 1.43. All isolates from crowns were heterothallic and A1 mating type since oospores were abundantly formed on clarified V-8 juice agar by dual culture with P. capsici A2 mating type. Aplerotic oospores were sized 24-26 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Antheridia were always amphigynous and recoreded an average of 12$\times$10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Hyphal swlling were easily observed, and terminal or intercalary chlamydospores were abundantly formed on V-8 juice agar as well as in C/Z solution and sized av. 28.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. This is the first report of Phytophthora rot of strawberry in Korea.

This paper proposed controlling methods for SDN(Software Defined Network) based multiple radio access technology as the solutions of following two issues which were mainly occurred by explosive increasing of video traffic. The first one is a requirement for traffic off-loading caused by 3rd-party video service providers from the mobile network operator's viewpoint. The other one is a provision of high-speed video contents transmission services with low price. Furthermore, the performance evaluation was also conducted on the real test-bed which is composed of OpenStack cloud and SDN technology such as OpenFlow and Open vSwitch. A virtual machine running on the OpenStack provide a video service and the terminal which is able to use multiple radio access technology supports two 2.4GHz WLANs(Wireless Local Area Network) and three 5GHz WLANs, concurrently. Finally, we can get 820Mbps of the maximum transmission speed by using that five WLAN links for the single service at the same time.

The single dose toxicity of Jengjengamiyjintang, a herbal drug for duodenal ulcer was evaluated in male and female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Jengjengamiyjintang was once administered to both sexes of rats at the dose levels of 2000, 1000, 500, 250 and 125mg／kg for oral route according to KFDA guidelines for single dose toxicity test (1999-61). In addition, vehicle control group was added in order to compare clinical signs, body weight changes and abnormal necropsy findings. After single administration, clinical signs were observed every twice a day for 14 days and body weights were measured 5 times including initial measurement on day 0. When observation period was over, the animals were sacrificed and macroscopic examination of major organs was conducted. Neither significant clinical signs nor death after administration was observed during the observation periods except for soft feces or diarrhea that were restricted to Day 1 of 2000 and 1000mg/kg-dosing groups. Although some accidental findings such as gross and histopathological changes of lung that were demonstrated in some animals of all experimental groups including vehicle control group, no abnormal necropsy findings and changes of body weight were observed at terminal necropsy in both sexes. From these results, it is considered that $LD_{50}$ of Jengjengamiyjintang is over 2000mg／kg in oral administration in both sexes of rats and approximated lethal dose was considered over 2000mg/kg.

This paper proposes method that uses Time-Difference-of-Arrival(TDOA) of Forward Pilot signals from base stations(BS) arriving at a mobile station(MS) as a position location method of CDMA MS. MS searcher does acquisition of BS Pilot signals and measurement of TDOAs. In order to do it, its processing gain is very important. Proportional relationship of the gain to the signal coherent integration interval is theoretically derived and analyzed and field test is performed to show acquisition of weak Pilot signals and stable measurements of TDOA values by increasing the gain. Also, signal strength decrease exponentially by the distance it travels. Therefore, improvement of the searcher gain makes possible to acquire Pilot signals at a location far away from BS. Variation of possible position estimation area relative to the signal strength within a cell is simulated with computer. Neglecting shadow effect it indicated necessity of detecting signals below -35dB in order to cover over 90% of cell area. Thus, efforts to maximize searcher coherent integration interval in order to acquire weak Pilot signals are required for expansion of position estimation area and measurement of stable TDOA values.

LNG-RV has the additional equipments that enable to re-gastify liquefied LNG in LNG carrier. This vessel has Submerged Turret Loading(STL) system which transports gas through submarine terminal. When LNG-RV is operating at sea, the opening condition is formed by detaching STL equipment from a vessel. The primary objective of the current work is to estimate accurate speed loss for the opening condition of the LNG-RV employing numerical calculations and model tests. In the model tests, resistance and self-propulsion tests are carried out for the bare-hull and the opening condition without STL. In addition to these, flow visualization utilizing tuft is used to make the flow patterns visible, in order to get a qualitative or quantitative information for inner part in case of detaching the STL.

Polyurethane (PU) is widely used as a cardiovascular biomaterial due to its good mechanical properties and hemocompatibility, but it is not adhesive to endothelial cells (ECs). Cell adhesive peptides, GRGDS and YIGSR, were found to promote adhesion and spreading of ECs and showed a synergistic effect when both of them were used. In this study, a surface modification was designed to fabricate an EC-active PU surface capable of promoting endothelialization using the peptides and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) spacer, The modified PU surfaces were characterized in vitro. The density of the grafted PEG on the PU surface was measured by acid-base back titration to the terminal-free isocyanate groups. The successful immobilization of pep tides was confirmed by amino acid analysis, following hydrolysis, and contact angle measurement. The uniform distribution of peptides on the surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). To evaluate the EC adhesive property, cell viability test using human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC) was investigated in vitro and enhanced endothelialization was characterized by the introduction of cell adhesive peptides, GRGDS and YIGSR, and PEG spacer. Therefore, GRGDS and YIGSR co-immobilized PU surfaces can be applied to an EC-specific vascular graft with long-term patency by endothelialization.
