Turbulence plays an important role in molecular clouds. However, the properties of turbulence are poorly understood. In order to study the influence of turbulence in molecular clouds, we need to sample the turbulent properties in the full range of scales down to sonic scale. We mapped the $20^{\prime}{\times}60^{\prime}$ area covering the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC) 1-4 region in HCN 1-0 and HCO+ 1-0 with Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) 14-m telescope as part of the TRAO key science program, "Mapping turbulent properties of star-forming molecular clouds down to the sonic scale (PI: Jeong-Eun Lee)". In addition, we combine our TRAO data with other molecular line maps ($^{13}CO$ 1-0, $C^{18}O$ 1-0, CS 1-0, $N_2H^+$ 1-0) obtained with the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO) 45-m telescope. To analyze these data, we apply statistical methods, the principal component analysis (PCA) and spectral correlation function (SCF), which are known to be useful to study underlying turbulent properties and to quantitatively characterize cloud structure. We will present the preliminary results of observations and analyses.

In case of PAS test, the air is sometimes leaked although the mask is tightly attached to the face, which is not reliable on the measured values. Therefore, this study aimed to assist the clinical practice suggesting the test method of PAS without air leakage. In the healthy subjects with 12 males and 12 females over 19 years old, three types of tests were performed on the voicing efficiency among the protocol of PAS Model 6600. They are; first, to attach the mask tightly to the face holding the handle of PAS with the subject's two hands (Method 1); second, to attach the mask tightly to the face holding the handle of PAS with the subject's one hand and pushing the body of PAS strongly with the other hand (Method 2); and third, to attach the mask tightly to the face pushing the upper part of the mask by the tester when the subject attached the mask to his or her face holding the handle of PAS with two hands (Method 3). Upon the study analyses, the mean negative pressure, the mean phonogram, subglottic air pressure, and voicing efficiency were shown to be statistically significantly different during PAS test in males depending on the methods. (p<.05) In case of females, only the target airflow rate showed significant difference depending on the methods during PAS test. (p<.001) In conclusion, Method 2 enhanced the noise level and strength while Method 1 was likely to leak the air more compared to the other two methods in males. In case of females, Method 1 showed significant leakage of the air flow. Not to allow the air flow leakage without affecting the outcome of PAS test, it will be the most useful for the tester to push the mask to the subject's face tightly (Method 3).

It could be suggested that adult orthodontic patients may have peculiar psychological features as well as different periodontal tissue conditions compared with adolescent patients. The aims of the present investigation were to explore the relationships between psychological characteristics and treatment compliance of patient to orthodontist and assistants (dental hygienists). Two types of locus of control data (I-score, Internal locus of control score ; E-score, External locus of control score) were obtained for 312 adult patients and 765 adolescents and then analyzed in relation to their sex and treatment compliance. In general, orthodontic patients showed higher I-score trends than ordinary persons and adult patients manifested higher I-score than adolescent patients. Unlike adult patients, female adolescent patients showed higher I-score than male adolescent patients. Adult patients with higher E-score and adolescent patients with higher I-score than their counter-part subgroup were classified into more compliant group. Orthodontist performed more generous decision about patients' compliance than assistants. The results of this study also suggest that psychological survey in orthodontic field could comprise useful diagnostic criteria.

Visual perception is part of a field of study that examines the analysis and recognition of objects. There have been numerous studies on this topic, including research on the physiological and cognitive aspects of the visual system. Visual perception theory was established through such research efforts and the potential for its application in each field is being investigated. Mobile displays are a representative example of media in the new age. Therefore, this study is based on the understanding that research on visual perception must stress the importance of useful visual cognition. This study used displays to conduct legibility tests based on illumination intensity and contrast ratio. Two conditions relevant to legibility were tested 1) illumination intensity environment and 2) two luminance conditions proposed as measures to improve readability in existing mobile displays. The results of this study were analysed to determine the degree of legibility based on illumination intensity and contrast ratio, and measures for improving legibility were proposed.

To analyze the usage information of system and network resources to the each grid application by measuring the real time traffic and calculating the statistic information, we suggested the kernel-based monitoring methods by researching the efficient monitoring method. This method use small system resourcesand measure the monitoring information accurately with less delay than the usual packet capture methods such as tcpdump. Also we implemented the monitoring systems which can monitor the used resources of system and network for grid application using the suggested kernel-based monitoring method. This research can give the useful information to the development of grid application and to grid network scheduler which can assign the proper resources to the grid application to perform efficiently. Network administrator can decide whether the expansion of network is required or not using the monitoring information.

Feature-based similarity retrieval become an important research issue in image database systems. The features of image data are useful to discrimination of images. In this paper, we propose the highspeed k-Nearest Neighbor search algorithm based on Self-Organizing Maps. Self-Organizing Map(SOM) provides a mapping from high dimensional feature vectors onto a two-dimensional space. A topological feature map preserves the mutual relations (similarity) in feature spaces of input data, and clusters mutually similar feature vectors in a neighboring nodes. Each node of the topological feature map holds a node vector and similar images that is closest to each node vector. We implemented about k-NN search for similar image classification as to (1) access to topological feature map, and (2) apply to pruning strategy of high speed search. We experiment on the performance of our algorithm using color feature vectors extracted from images. Promising results have been obtained in experiments.

The EMFG (Extended Mark Flow Graph) is known as a graph model for representing the discrete event systems. In this paper, we introduce input/output matrixes representing the marking variance of input/output boxes when each transition fires in an EMFG, and compute an incidence matrix. We represent firing conditions of transitions to a firing condition matrix for computing a firable vector, and introduce the firing completion vector to decide completion of each transition’s firing. By using them, we improve an analysis algorithm of the EMFG’s operation to be represented all the process of EMFG’s operation mathematically. We apply the proposed algorithm to the system repeating the forward and reverse revolution, and then confirm that it is valid. The proposed algorithm is useful to analysis the variant discrete event systems.

The semantic web is an emerging paradigm in the information retrieval and Web-based system. This paper deals with a Web change detection system which employs the semantic web and ontology. While existing Web change detection systems detect the syntactic change, the proposed system focuses on the detection of the semantic change. The system detects the change only when the web has semantic change. To achieve this, the system employs the domain-specific ontology (e.g., computer science professional person information in the paper). The Web pages regarding before and after change are converted according to the ontology. Then the comparison is performed. The experimental result shows the semantic-based change detection is more useful than the syntax-based change detection.

NAT is a very useful IP address translation technique that allows two connected networks using different and incompatible IP address schemes. But it is impractical to use NAT for an application which uses the encrypted IP packet, embedding IP addresses inside of data payloads, to guarantee End-to-End Security such as IPSec. In addition to rewriting the source/destination IP addresses in the packet, NAT must modify IP checksum every time, which could lead to considerable performance decrease of the overall system in the process of the address translation. RSIP is an alternative to solve these disadvantages of NAT and the address shortage problems. Both NAT and RSIP divide networks into inside and outside addressing realms. NAT translates addresses between internal network and external network, but RSIP uses a borrowed external address for outside communications. RSIP server assigns a routable public address to a RSIP client temporarily to communicate with public net-work outside of the private network. In this paper, RSIP gateway for intranet environment is designed and its performance is evaluated. From the results of performance evaluation, we knew that RSIP is operated less sensitive to the data traffic. Also, the experiment shows that RSIP performs better than NAT when the transmission data grows larger.

Nowadays, the hacking techniques are developed increasingly with wide use of internet. The recent type of scanning attack is appeared in against with multiple target systems on the large scaled domain rather than single network of an organization. The development of scan detection management system which can detect and analyze scan activities is necessary to prevent effectively those attacking at the central system. The scan detection management system is useful for effective utilization of various detection information that received from scan detection agents. Real time scan detection management system that can do the integrated analysis of high lever more that having suitable construction in environment of large scale network is developed.
