Helicobacter pylori(HP) has been implicated as the cause of acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric carcinoma. To date the most successful treatment in eradicating HP is known to be the combination of two or more antibiotics with an anti-ulcer drug. In this study, in vitro antimicrobial activity against two was assessed, when proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), omeprazole and lansoprazole, were added to antibiotics at different concentrations. The assays in the absence of PPIs gave minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) value of 0.63 mg/l for amoxicillin, 4 mg/l for tetracycline, 0.08 mg/l for clarithromycin and 0.16 mg/l for azithromycin. At the concentrations of 125 mg/l, 25 mg/1 and 0.5 mg/l of omeprazole, and the concentrations of 31.25 mg/l, 6.25 mg/l and 1 mg/l of lansoprazole, the MICs of clarithromycin and azithromycin were reduced by $50\%$. Also, lansoprazole at the highest concentration 31.25 mg/l reduced the MIC of amoxicillin by $50\%$, and omeprazole at the highest concentration of 125 mg/l reduced the MIC of tetracycline by $50\%$. In conclusion, the in vitro combination of PPIs and antibiotics led to improvement in the MIC of antibiotics against HP associated gastric disease.

In this paper, we investigated the improvement degree of transmission distance of the various initial frequency chirped optical pulse with 5 dBm initial power dependence on the various bit rate and fiber dispersion coefficient, when MSSI(Mid-Span Spectral Inversion) with the optimal pump power condition is adopted for the compensation method for optical pulse distortion. And we analyzed the influence of mutual relation of optical pulse frequency chirp and Kerr effect on the MSSI methods for the long-haul optical transmission through the computer simulation. We found that the compensation degree of distorted optical pulse varies as a consequence of the variation of combined phase modulation of self phase modulation(Kerr effect) and initial frequency chirp parameter dependence on the fiber dispersion coefficient. And we found that, if the transmission bit rate is increased k times, the dispersion coefficient value of dispersion shift fiber is decreased $2^k$ times so as to be almost the same performance of the transmission system with k times lower bit rate.

Diamond MIS(Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor) diodes and MISFETs(Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) were fabricated by employing various fluorides as gate insulator, and their electrical properties were closely investigated by means of C-V measurements. The A1/BaF$_2$/diamond MIS structure exhibited outstanding electrical properties. The MIS diode showed a very low surface state density of ∼10$\^$10//$\textrm{cm}^2$ eV near the valence band edge, and the observed effective mobility(${\mu}$$\_$eff/) of the MISFET was 400 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs, which is the highest value obtained until now in the diamond FET. From the chemiphysical point of view, the above result might be explained by the reduction of adsorbed-oxygen on the diamond surface via strong chemical reaction by the constituent Ba atom in the insulator during the film deposition(Oxygen-Gettering Effect).

1. By feeding on high Peroxidation Value(POV : 90.4mEq/kg) diets for 180 days, the cultured flounder were induced ceroidosis antificially. 2. The supplementation of glutathione to the diets having POV of 15.5mEq/kg improved the growth of the flounder that had shown depressed by the previous high POV diets(90.4mEq/kg). However, we found very much the same degree of improvement on growth by the supplemented diets of glutathione from 10mg/kg/day to 40mg/kg/day. 3. After 7 days, the flounder fed on the diets supplemented with 10, 30mg/kg/day glufthione start the recover from the accumulated ceroid and damaged tissues. These treated flounders with glutathione showed completely normal histlogical signo after 21 days. The effect of glutathione treatment with high concentration(30mg/kg/day) was better than that of low concentration(10mg/kg/day).

This research performed the laboratory model tests for Top-Base Foundation developed in Japan and Floating Top-Base Foundation developed in Korea on the typical clayey soft soils, namely, clay, clayey silt and clayey sand. The performances of the two types of top-base foundation were compared with each other and evaluated by measuring load-settlement, heaving of foundation side, ground stress distribution in this model tests. The change of settlement caused by the increase of top base width was also analyzed. As a result of the model tests, Floating Top-Base Foundation showed better performance in bearing capacity improvement, settlement decrease, stress dispersion effect and lateral confinement force. And settlement caused by the increase of top base width converged to a regular value from $5{\times}5$ layout of the width.

As the value of the multimedia data is getting high, the study on the semantic recognition and retrieval about the multimedia information is strongly demanded. In this paper, we build the motion ontology and adopt it for representing the meaning of the moving objects in video data. By referencing the WordNet structure, we extend its semantic meaning based on the reclassification of motion verbs, which are used to represent the semantic meaning of moving objects. The represented information is receded in OWL/RDF(S). Here, we could expect the 'Is-A' and 'Equivalent' reasoning of the data as we use the ontologies. And the semantic representation about the moving objects is possible through the video annotation using ontology. And we tested the accuracy of the system comparing with the key-word based system. As a result, we could get the approximately 10% improvement of the system performance.

An encoding technique based on region splitting and vector quantization is proposed for the lower level Laplacian pyramid images. The lower level Laplacian pyramid images have lower variance than higher levels but a great influence on compression ration due to large spatial area. And so from data compression viewpoint, we subdivide them with variance thresholding into two regions such as one called : flat region” and the other “edge region”, and encode the flat region with its mean value and the edge region as vector quantization method. The edge region can be reproduced faithfully and significant improvement on compression ratio can be accomplished with a little degradation of PSNR in spite of the effect of large flat region since the codebook used is generated from the edge region only on from the entire image including the flat region. It can be verified by computer simulation results that proposed method is more efficient in compression ratio and processing time than the conventional encoding technique of vector quantization.
