In radio frequency identification(RFID) systems, when an RFID reader uses the same or adjacent frequency with neighbor readers, the interference between the readers may occur, which causes the reader collision and errors in tag recognition. In the previous study on RFID reader anti-collision, the techniques based on Frequency Division Mutiplex(FDM) or Time Division Multiplex(TDM) are proposed. However in these paper, the problem on the condition of RFID reader-to-reader interference considering the distance between interfering readers, frequency and operating time is not define exactly. In this paper, the interference effect is analyzed through RFID reader interference model considering the TDM and FDM, and the optimization problem is defined. To solve this, genetic-resource allocation technique is proposed. Therefore the optimal resource allocation applied RFID environment faithfully is accomplished.

In the signals-shadowed areas, In order to providing the suitable signals reception level repeaters are used for relay the signals. Repeater receives the weak signals and amplifies it up to required power level, The amplified signals get radiated by the various methods. Both antenna distribution and LCX(Leakage Coaxial Cable) are typical methods in the repeater and BTS signals radiation. Their applications are depended on the environment condition and frequency band. Generally the antenna distribution are used for the mobile telecommunication networks which use the higher frequency band than 500MHz. On the other side, LCX distribution is suitable to the frequency band under 500MHz. The network plan of repeater in FM, T-DMB, Fire Radio and Internal subway communication network are the typical LCX application fields. Cell planning with repeaters are based on the free space loss, LCX connection loss and actual field data. The actual field data can be the most important factor to design the network planning.

There are different types of compost used as soil conditioners and fertilizers. Plants can have different responses to different forms of compost. This field study was performed to examine the effects of different types of compost on growth factors of three dry rangeland species (Atriplex, $Atriplex$ $lentiformis$; Saltwort, $Seidlitzia$ $rosmarinus$; Haloxylon, $Haloxylon$ $persicum$) and soil properties. The experiment was conducted in the Fars Province of Iran during the year 2010-2011. Compost applications consisted of compost tea, solid compost (SC), solid and liquid mixture (MX) and no compost as the control. The study was a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The results showed that all the tested compost applications enhanced the growth traits of all three species. It was also demonstrated that the use of compost significantly increased the organic matter (1% probability level [PL]), nitrogen concentration (5% PL), phosphorous (5% PL) and potassium (5% PL) concentrations of the soil. The soil's pH level was unchanged (range, 7.3 to 7.6), and the sodium concentration was also significantly decreased (1% PL) by the use of compost. The higher responses were observed in canopy volume and soil sodium and the lower were observed in stem diameter and soil pH level. Among the three plants in the study, Atriplex showed the best response to the application of compost. Based on the results of this study, it can be recommended that the best compost application to increase growth and improve soil condition is the mixed compost (MX) for Atriplex and the SC for Saltwort and Haloxylon.

Purpose: Open fractures of the foot and ankle require prompt repair of the wound due to the complexity of anatomy, insufficiency of soft tissues and inadequate blood supply. Early flaps and skin grafts are used for this purpose yet general condition of the patient as well as local wound environment often precludes such treatment options. Vacuum- Assisted Closure (VAC) is recently being used in such cases. This study was done to validate the use of VAC together with silver antimicrobial dressing materials in contaminated open fracture wounds. Materials and Methods: We have selected 10 patients with Gustillo-Anderson type III open fractures of the foot & ankle treated with VAC and silver antimicrobial dressing materials from March 2007 to January 2008. The relationship between duration of treatment with wound size, contamination, and degree of soft tissue damage was analyzed. Results: The average age of patients was 36.6 years. The average amount of VAC application time was 23.4 days. Silver dressing materials were used for 16.8 days. Average wound healing time was 51.9 days. Statistically significant relationship was found between wound size, VAC application time and silver dressing material application time. No complications such as osteomyelitis were found after treatment. Conclusion: VAC technique is recently being used in open fractures with wide skin and soft tissue defects, producing good results. A wide array of dressing materials such as silver dressing is in development. We have incorporated the VAC technique together with silver dressing materials in the treatment of open fractures and achieved complication free results.

This study provides basic materials about setting pH standard of recycle aggregate by analysing pH change from elution time, type of solvent and ratio of solvent with existing experiment methods about recycle aggregate. Also it has purpose of evaluating impact of recycle aggregate outflow's pH on actual environment by building a model that is similar to condition of recycling recycle aggregates. pH of recycle aggregates seemed to not change a lot by time with each experimental method. To evaluate degree of generation by recycle aggregates in natural state, natural water with distilled water seemed be useful to use as solvent. Also it was possible to confirm that there is a difference between actual pollution in natural state by only pH of recycle aggregates.

Recently, many researches on crack healing and repairing technique using bacteria which can produce vital-reacted calcite have been proposed. This study is for a basic research on repair material with slime formation through bacteria and deals with durability evaluation for coating materials containing bacteria-forming slime. For the work, 4 types of bacteria (Rhodobacter capsulatus, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus subtilis) and 2 types of nutrient conditions are considered, and several tests covering strength evaluation under sulfate condition, accelerated chloride diffusion, and UV (Ultrasonic Velocity) measurement are performed. Strength improvement in coating materials containing bacteria is evaluated in spite of even exposure to sulfate attack to 7 days. Chloride diffusion coefficient and UV properties are also improved except for the case of Rhodopseudomonas palustris. With resistance of slime to long term exposure and aerobic conditions for bacteria longevity, the proposed bacteria shows an engineering feasibility for repair material of RC structure exposed harsh environment.

We studied two research items that can be undetermined issues in the artificial seed production of the Japanese scallops, Patinopecten yessoensis, batch-specific quality of the reproductive outputs and nursery acclimation, in the embayed waters of Yangyang, Gangwon, Korea. The first batch of the spawner showed better results in terms of survival, growth, and resistance against parasitic ciliate infection over the second batch that was obtained in 5 days after first batch from the same spawner. The early attached spats directly placed in the farming ground (the unacclimated) were resistant against the water current of the open environment, by showing survival of about 80% for a month, a normal survival compared with other results. However, the spat survival during the nursery acclimation was significantly lowered in comparison with that in the unacclimated condition (P<0.01). We discussed the research results of the two items, particularly focusing on their availability for mass seed production for aquaculture in the Korean coastal waters of the East Sea (Sea of Japan).

We investigated the effect of salinity decrease, food supply and color of the rearing tank on the growth and survival of Amphiprion polymnus larvae. White tanks had the highest survival rate, followed by transparency, black and blue tanks(P<0.05). The transparency tank had the best growth, followed by black tank, white and blue tanks(P<0.05). Daily food intakes of larvae with $5.1{\sim}10.0mm$ in total length were $36.8{\sim}429.3$ Artemia nauplii. When salinity was lowered 5 psu per week from 32 psu, all the larvae died under salinity condition 17 psu. In lowered 2 psu per 3 days, its all died at 16 psu.

Considering the domestic traffic environment and the increase of traffic accidents, we have been asked to exactly analyze the main causes of accidents for the accident-experienced drivers to be rehabilitated. In this thesis we present the development process and results of a driving simulator using the IPDE method in the interest of safe driving and driving rehabilitation. Through this Driving simulation development the rehabilitated driver has the possibility of experiencing the real driving situation with the driving aptitude and examines the reasons of accidents. Through the examinations the driver has the chance to correct the deformities of driving by choosing the explanatory scenes, and through this process the driver is able to develop the capability to react in the real situation. However this driving simulation system is one of the best developed, depending on weather and road condition the braking distance may change. Therefore the fuzzy rule and neural network have been used in this thesis to solve previously mentioned problem. The simulation exactly calculated the road and weather conditions to adjust the breaking intensity.

Candidiasis, an opportunistic infectious condition caused by the genus Candida, is the most common oral fungal infection in humans. The diagnosis of oral candidiasis can often be made based on recognition of its clinical pattern, but at times there is difficulty in making a clinical diagnosis because of its various manifestations. Several antifungal medications have been developed for managing fungal infections. Despite the availability of several effective antimycotics for the treatment of oral candidiasis, failure of therapy is not uncommon due to the unique environment of the oral cavity, where the flushing effect of saliva and the cleaning action of the oral musculature tend to reduce the drug concentration to sub-therapeutic levels. In this case report, we present two patients diagnosed with chronic hyperplastic candidiasis and median rhomboid glossitis, which are known as rare forms of candidiasis. In both cases, there was a significant reduction of clinical signs and symptoms when fluconazole was prescribed after the failure of initial nystatin therapy.
