The objective of this study was to evaluate the reversal of multi drug resistance of human cell lines by specific inhibitors of ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ and mannosidases that had been reported to be involved in N-linked oligosaccharide processing of glycoproteins. N-methyldeoxynojirimycin, I-deoxynojirimycin, and castanospermine, which were known to be potent inhibitors of both ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ I and II, showed no activity against the multidrug resistant phenotype of the cell lines of SNU1DOX, KB-V1, and MCF-7/ADR. In contrast, I-deoxymannojirimycin, an inhibitor of mannosidase I, resulted in a slight reversal for the vinblastine resistance of the KB-V1 cell line, but did not show any activity toward the other cell lines. Parallel experiments with tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation, also resulted in no significant changes in multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype of the cell lines tested in this work. These observations suggest that the unglycosylation of P-glycoprotein associated with the inhibitor treatments might not be correlated with the reversal of multidrug resistance of the cell lines tested in this study.

In recent years, the development of application programs for distribution system analysis and control has been essential part for distribution management system (DMS). In this paper, we propose the common database for application programs of distribution management system. The proposed database model has several characteristics as followings. First, the proposed database model is designed for the common use of almost the whole distribution application software. The static equipment model and dynamic type tables are mixed and the parallel table structure is applied. Second, the linked list structure of database are used for the fast processing of applications. The database model includes the hierarchy and non-hierarchy distribution system structure. Third, the reduction method of distribution database is applied. For this, we present the network reduction rules. The basic concept of reduction rules are the electrical unification of successive line section which has not lateral branches and the removal of simple lateral branches which has no devices and other laterals. Proposed database model is tested for the Jeju system of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). Through the test, we verified that the proposed database structure can be effectively used to accomplish the distribution system operation.

Delta robots are usually used for industrial manufacturing, but heavy weight and expensive price have been obstacles to rapid propagation of robots in the field. The goal of this research is to make light-weight and price-competitive delta robots. To reduce the weight, we used plastic material for the arm link, and to reduce the price, we used a step-motor as the main actuator. First we formulated the equations of inverse kinematics for the designed delta robot and then verified these equations by using multibody-dynamics simulation. An algorithm of motion control was developed and applied to the motion-processing unit using a timer-interrupt of 8 milliseconds. Finally, we tested the performance of the new delta robot by checking its control of motion along line segments.

The representation of Web Sites with EMFG(Extended Mark Flow Graph) is studied as a new method that represents the complicated Web Sites structure. The Web Sites usually have the number of iteration structures. The representation of these Web Sites with EMFG is too complicated, and so we can not understand the structure of these Web Sites sometimes. Therefore, in this paper, we classify these iteration structures when express Web Sites by EMFG as serial iteration structures and parallel iteration structures and propose the method that can simplify these iteration structures. Then we can reduce number of boxes, arcs, and transitions, and efficiently design and manage Web Sites by using this method.

Somani and Peleg proposed t/k-diagnosable system to diagonse more faults than t(dimension) by allowing upper bounded few number of units to be diagnosed incorrectly. Kranakis and Pelc showed that their adaptive diagnosis algorithm was more efficient than that of any previous ones, assuming that the number of faults does not exceed the hypercube dimension. We propose an adaptive diagnosis algorithm using the idea of t/k-diagnosable system on the basis of that of Kranakis and Pelc's. When the number of faults exceeds t, we allow a fault(k=1, 2, 3) to be diagnosed incorrectly. Based on this idea, we find that the performance of the proposed algorithm is nearly as efficient as any previously known strategies and detect above about double faults.

In this paper, a rotation invariant fingerprint identification system is implemented using the circular harmonic filter and phase only correlator. We extracted the phase component from input fingerprint image and correlate it with the circular harmonic filter of the reference fingerprint image by POC. The input image is obtained using a prism operating in the internal full reflection mode. Then the input image is transformed to two dimensional Fourier spectrum in optical way and the phase component is extracted using a digital system from the spectrum. Because composed of the optical system and digital algorithm, the proposed system has the advantages of the two technologies such as realtime parallel processing property of the optics and the flexibility of the digital system.

Gas hydrate has been paid attention to study for because: 1) it can be considered as a new energy resources; 2) one of reasons causing the instability of sea floor slope and 3) a factor to the climate change. Bottom simulating reflector (BSR) defined as seismic boundary between the gas hydrate and free gas zone has been considered as the most common evidence in the seismic reflection data for the gas hydrate exploration. BSR has several characteristics such as parallel to the sea bottom, high amplitude, reducing interval velocity between above and below BSR and reversing phase to the sea bottom. Moreover, instantaneous attribute properties such as amplitude envelop, instantaneous frequency, phase and first derivative of amplitude of seismic data from the complex analysis could be used to analyze properties of BSR those would be added to the certain properties of BSR in order to effectively find out the existence of BSR of the gas hydrate stability zone. The output of conventional seismic data processing for gas hydrate data set in Ulleung basin in the East sea of Korea will be used for complex analyses to indicate better BSR in the seismic reflection data. This result of this analysis implies that the BSR of the analyzed seismic profile is clearly located at the two ways time (TWT) of around 3.1 seconds.

This paper concerns a study on the theory of tearing which analyzes a large scale network by partitioning it into a number of small subnetworks by cutting through some of the existing nodes and branches in the network. By considering of the relationship its voltage and current of node cutting before and after, the consititutive equations of tearing method is equvalent to renumbering the nodes of untorn network equations. Therefore the analysis of network is conveniently applied as same algorithm that is used in untorn network. Also the proposed nodal admittnace matrix is put in block diagonal form, therefore this method permit parallel processing analysis of subnetworks. 30 nodes network was tested and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was proved.

The multicode CDMA systems that are widely studied as an effective transmission methodology in the IMT-2000 systems, employ orthogonal codes to transform high rate data into parallel, low rate data for simultaneous transmission. In this paper, we propose a new multicode CDMA system which achieves the same data rate and processing gain of the conventional systems, while significantly improves bit error rate performance by exploiting a convolutional code with code rate r=1/2 and a bi-orthogonal code. The simulation results for synchronous systems using maximal ratio combining Rake receivers under additive white Gaussian noise and multi-path fading channels, show significant improviements by the proposed system.
