Objectives : The object of this study is to evaluate and develop the system that reflects acupoints electrical properties by the multi-frequency using the SPAC (Single Power Alternative Current) stimulation method based on BIA (Bioelectrical impedance method). Methods : The 12 channel meridian impedance measurement system (MIMS) was designed, which sets multi-frequency with 10 steps (1~10kHz). To check acupoints electrical properties, impedance of acupoints were measured from 11 acupoints selected from the LU and ST meridians. Results : Regarding distribution of measurement values by multi-frequencies, we found the lowest response at 1kHz was in common. But frequency bands which represent the highest response at each acupoint were various. Measurement values of each acupoint by multi-frequencies were expressed similar distribution (P<0.05). Also we could check same frequency band which showed the highest response at left/right equal acupoints (P<0.05). Conclusions : Through change of acupoints electrical properties by multi-frequency stimulation, we checked oriental medical diagnostic possibilities by using this system. We would progress variable clinical trials with this system for oriental medical diagnosis.

최근 항공교통량의 증가에 따라 보다 효율적인 항공교통흐름제어가 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 효율적인 항공교통흐름제어를 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 항공통신 환경은 일반 통신 환경과는 다르게 스테이션(항공기) 사이에 직접적인 통신 기능이 필요하며, 안전성을 위한 메시지의 우선순위가 매우 엄격하게 요구된다. 게다가 넓은 서비스 지역은 높은 전파지연을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 CSMA/CA 매체접속제어(MAC) 프로토콜을 사용하여 항공교통상황(혼잡 공항 지역, 접근관제구역, En route구역, 대양 항행)에 따라 메시지 우선순위를 설정하고, 이러한 우선순위가 높은 메시지가 보다 더 높은 접속 확률을 갖고 데이터를 전송하도록 하였다. 항공기 대수에 따른 시뮬레이션 결과, 교통량이 증가할수록 기존 방식보다 더 높은 채널 사용 효율 및 전송확률을 가짐을 확인하였다.

We present a cost-effective dual polarization quadrature phase-shift coherent receiver module using a silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) hybrid assembly. Two polarization beam splitters and two $90^{\circ}$ optical hybrids are monolithically integrated in one silica PLC chip with an index contrast of $2%-{\Delta}$. Two four-channel spot-size converter integrated waveguide-photodetector (PD) arrays are bonded on PD carriers for transverse-electric/transverse-magnetic polarization, and butt-coupled to a polished facet of the PLC using a simple chip-to-chip bonding method. Instead of a ceramic sub-mount, a low-cost printed circuit board is applied in the module. A stepped CuW block is used to dissipate the heat generated from trans-impedance amplifiers and to vertically align RF transmission lines. The fabricated coherent receiver shows a 3-dB bandwidth of 26 GHz and a common mode rejection ratio of 16 dB at 22 GHz for a local oscillator optical input. A bit error rate of $8.3{\times}10^{-11}$ is achieved at a 112-Gbps back-to-back transmission with off-line digital signal processing.

Xerostomia is a relatively common oral disease that causes various problems such as pain, discomforted, tissue damage, and infection. When the activity of AQPs, which plays an important role in the microbial channel transmembrane activity in tissues, decreases saliva secretion and the oral cavity dryness occurs. In this study, we observed whether there was a change in tissue through the expression level of AQP-5 in the submandibular gland in the 4-DAMP-induced xerostomia model. First, in order to construct a xerostomia model, 4-DAMP (1 mg/kg) and 20% urethane (0.5 mL/kg) were administered intraperitoneal (i.p.) to experimental animals. To observe the changes in the submandibular gland was excised, H&E staining was performed and protein quantitation analysis was performed using the submandibular tissue to observe the changes in AQP5 protein expression involved in changes in saliva secretion. Also, cinnamaldehyde (5, 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg) dissolved in 20% DMSO, in distilled water for each concentration, and then orally administered at a dose of 1 mL for biopsy and protein quantitative analysis. As a result, it was observed that the submandibular tissue, a model of xerostomia was wider than the naïve group. And then western blot analysis, the expression level of AQP5 decreased in the 4-DAMP group compared to the naïve group, and the expression increased in the group administered orally with cinnamaldehyde. Therefore, administration of 4-DAMP resulted in histological changes for xerostomia, and cinnamaldehyde would be a material that can be developed by reducing xerostomia.

Within the frame of the MERCOSUR (South Common Market), one of the most important goals to achieve by its member states is a better cost effective international cargo transportation system. For this purpose the project of developing a commercial waterway linking the east region of Uruguay with the south of Brazil has been under study for a number of years now. Because of the high costs involved on the development of such waterway, the project has been indefinitely delayed. It is our intention to show an alternative way to reduce the present obstacles by using a budget oriented approach in order to determine the vessel best suited to use on the proposed waterway. So far, every study related to the project has been focused on the amount of work needed to modify the environment in order to accommodate the hardware already available in the region. The conclusions show that the cost of opening and maintaining the required navigation channel is high enough to discourage investment; the added responsibility to take care of any environmental damage incurred during the building and/or operation of the waterway makes searching for a less costly and hazardous option an interesting challenge. The proposed terminal on the Cebollat? River would be located at the heart of the Uruguayan rice growing region. Uruguay exports 90% of its rice production, being Brazil its biggest buyer. Wood chips and clinker are the other types of cargo considered to use the proposed waterway in route to either Brazil or to overseas destinations through the deep water port of Rio Grande. Through the analysis of local data by a Geographical Information System, international regulations regarding inland waterways and shallow draught vessel characteristics, we seek to propose a cost efficient alternative to apply on this particular scenario.

WPS는 2단계 과정으로 측위를 수행한다. 측위 위치의 무선 신호 정보를 수집하여 라디오 맵을 구성하는 구축단계, 구성된 정보와 수집된 무선 신호를 비교하는 측위 단계로 나누어진다. WPS는 구축된 라디오 맵과 수집된 신호가 상이할 경우 측위 정확도가 하락한다. 정확도 하락은 측위 알고리즘에 따라 차이가 있지만 모든 WPS 시스템이 가진 문제이다. 신호의 변동 이유는 측위 신호 대상 기기의 고장, 장애물 발생, 채널 간섭 현상 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 신호 변동 문제점을 해결하기 위해 신호 변동에 강인한 라디오 맵 구축 기법에 대하여 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 구축 단계에서 신호 변경에 강인한 라디오 맵을 구성하는 방법과 측위 수행 단계에서 변동된 정보를 수집하여 라디오 맵에 반영하는 방법이다. 이 방법을 적용할 경우 신호변동에 강인한 라디오 맵을 통해 WPS 측위의 정확도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to propose an assessment tool of port service quality (PSQ) in the context of container transport logistics (CTLs), by taking the perspectives from port users. The CTLs defined in this study are the relevant activities of serving the physical flows of a container box from a point of origin via a container port to a point of destination. To address the ports' role in collaboration between its channel members in CTLs, the PSQ measures for all port user groups (i.e. common PSQ measures) are selected based on the relevant CTLs activities involved by port, and its users within terminal/port area as well as throughout the CTLs chain. An importance-performance analysis (IPA) is applied as a diagnostic tool to analyse the status quo of Busan Port in CTLs contexts, by comparing the importance and performance (IP ) scores against each individual CTLs criterion. The findings from the IPA reveal that port managers and policy makers at the Busan Port should concentrate on six PSQ measures (i.e. SR1, SR4, ITS1, VAS1, VAS4, ICI3) to enhance PSQ in CTLs. However, four measures (i.e. ITS2, ITS3, ITS4, VAS2) are identified as a possible overkill, indicating an area of inefficiency where a remedial action of the cost-cutting decision is necessary. On the other hand, the Busan port shows an outstanding performance on four measures such as SR2, SR3, ICI1 and ICI2. The measures are not only important but also high performance. The study findings provide managerial guidance to port managers in Busan Port, in view of searching for managerial and operational strategies for sustainable port growth.

The carbonate flat pebble conglomerates (CFPC) are interbedded as lenticular bed in the greenish rhythmite of the upper part of $Hwaj{\check{o}}l$ Formation, $Jos{\check{o}}n$ Supergroup. Pebbles are composed mainly of lime-mudstone with small amounts of bioclasts and silt-sized subangular quartz grains. The matrix among pebbles is composed mainly of sparry calcite with relatively much amounts of bioclasts, silt-sized subangular quartz grains and authigenic pyrite crystals or grains. The sparry calcite of the matrix seems to be the results of neomorphism of skeletal sands and bioclasts. The pebbles are well rounded and no plastic deformations are found. Some pebbles show the outer rim of glauconite. CFPC are not associated with any other intertidal features such as stromatolites, flaser bedding and channel structures. Also any features indicative of subaerial exposure such as dessication cracks, fenestrae and so on are not found in the bed. The sedimentological features of CFPC suggest that the following conditions appear to have been necessary for the formation of CFPC : 1) episodic deposition of thin, permeable calcareous beds separated argillaceous beds; 2) preservation of these beds near the sediment-water interface where they could become rapidly cemented; 3) erosion and redeposition of the partially lithified beds by storms or other exceptional erosional events. Eventually storm erosion and redeposition together represent only one of several critical conditions in the genesis of CFPC. The CFPC are very common in Cambrian and lower Ordovician formations, and become very rare in the younger carbonate formations. The expansion of infauna after Ordovician Period eliminated the widespread potential for rapid submarine cementation which is one of the critical factors to form CFPC.

낙동강의 지류인 내성천은 '모래강'이라고 불릴 정도로 유역분지인 영주-봉화 분지로부터 사질 물질의 공급이 많은 하천이다. 일반적으로 풍화물질로서의 모래는 화강암 구릉대가 해체되는 과정에서 형성되기 때문에, 내성천으로의 모래 공급이 활발하다는 것은 영주-봉화 분지의 화강암 구릉대가 현재도 활발히 해체되고 있다는 것을 뜻한다. CIA분석(A-CN-K와 A-CNK-FM 삼각도)을 통해 나타난 영주-봉화분지의 화강암 구릉대 풍화층은 칼륨을 비롯한 철분, 망간은 물론 화학적 풍화에 매우 약한 것으로 알려진 칼슘과 나트륨의 풍화마저 기반암과 큰 차이를 보이지 않는다. 칼륨의 풍화는 미약해도 칼슘과 나트륨의 손실이 약간은 진전된 정읍, 논산, 남원과 같은 일반적인 화강암 구릉대에 비해서도 화학적 풍화는 거의 일어나지 않은 상태이다. 따라서 영주-봉화 분지의 화강암 구릉대는 입상붕괴에 의해 풍화층이 형성된 이후 화학적 풍화는 거의 정지 상태에서 모래질로 이루어진 구릉대 풍화층이 제거되고 있는 과정에 있는 것으로 판단된다.
