  • Automated essay grading has been proposed for over thirty years. Only recently have practical implementations been constructed and tested. This paper investigated the role of the nearest-neighbour algorithm within the information retrieval as a way of grading the essay automatically called Automated Essay Grading System. It intended to offer teachers an individualized assistance in grading the student\`s essay. The system involved several processes, which are the indexing, the structuring of the model answer and the grade processing. The indexing process comprised the document indexing and query processing which are mainly used for representing the documents and the query. Structuring the model answer is actually preparing the marking scheme and the grade processing is the process of assessing the essay. To test the effectiveness of the developed algorithms, the algorithms are tested against the History text in Malay. The result showed that th information retrieval and the nearest-neighbour algorithm are practical combination that offer acceptable performance for grading the essay.

  • The use and development of nuclear energy has a long history more than 5o years and is facing a rapid changing environment in technological innovations in order to meet the requirements of energy supply, environmental conservation and social and political demands. The innovation of nuclear technologies are also necessary continuously in order to contribute for the progress of national economy and industry development, improvement of public health, progress of nation science and technology and furthermore is very important for the survival of nuclear industry and strengthening of competition of nuclear technologies. Major directions of the innovation of nuclear technologies would be the enhance ment of safety and economy of the use of nuclear energy, securing od nuclear proliferation-resistance, safe management of radioactive wastes, technology development for newly emerging markets and improvement of public health.

  • The solitary wasp genus Phimenes (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) was reported to occur in Vietnam by , represented by one taxon, Phimenes flavopictus continentalis (Zimmermann), which was synonymized under nominotypical Phimenes flavopictus by . A note on gender of this genus is made in the text. One more species, Phimenes indosinensis is recorded in this study from Dak Lak in the southern and Son La in the northwestern parts of Vietnam for the first time. Detailed descriptions of the female and male of the latter are provided with figures. A key to the two species from Vietnam is also provided.

  • The present survey paper introduces the research history, characteristics of body and fin shapes, basic principles of various locomotions and propulsion-generation mechanism of aquatic animals in nature, which utilize unsteady flow through a noble mechanism that is different in paradigm from the propulsion generation mechanism of man-made marine vehicles, and so have excellent performance and efficiency. The authors hope that the present paper helps to activate the domestic research interest on the fields of swimming in nature, which is expected to provide great ideas for improvement and innovation of today's marine vehicles.

  • The ASRP(Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program) is a overall evaluation system of ammunitions to improve the combat strength, having a short history. The storage lifetime of ammunitions, more than 20 years since being produced, differs according to storage circumstance and period. And it shows the different reliability for munitions. Because most ammunitions in military have been stored for a long time, these ammunitions need to be evaluated to maintain Serviceability, Reliability, Safety and Performance for the use of military. In this paper, it suggested the need to develop the techniques for ourselves, to make more laboratories for surveillance and testing and to extend research funds & concerns.

  • Northeast Asia comprises many characteristic cultural areas including China, Mongolia, Korea and Japan. These areas have their own traditional food cultures, and Korea is known as the home of fermented foods in this region. The origin of Northeast Asian fermented foods, cereal alcoholic beverages, fermented vegetables(kimchi), fermented fish and fermented soybean products were investigated in relation to the primitive earthen vessels developed in this region. The geographical and environmental background of the appearance of primitive pottery culture in the Korea Strait region, and its influence on the development of fermentation technology in Northeast Asia were reviewed focusing on Korean dietary culture.

  • Licorice, which has an extensive history of use as an herbal medicine, has been suggested to have oral health benefits. However, to date, no systematic study has been conducted on the preparation method of licorice extracts for oral health. In this study, licorice extracts prepared using water and ethanol were investigated for its ability to inhibit the biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans. The licorice extract prepared with around 60% ethanol effectively inhibited the biofilm formation of S. mutans. Licorice extracted with 50% ethanol almost completely inhibited the biofilm formation at 1.5 g/L of licorice extract. This inhibitory activity was confirmed in a microplate assay and a flow cell system. Glycyrrhetic acid was extracted from licorice effectively with 60% ethanol concentration. The strong inhibitory activity of glycyrrhetic acid and the synergistic inhibition with glycyrrhizin on biofilm formation were suggested as major reasons for a concentration-specific extraction. These results suggest that licorice extract prepared using around 60% ethanol effectively inhibits the biofilm formation of S. mutans.

  • In carbon-11 labeling, $[^{11}C]$methyltriflate (methyltrifluoromethanesulfonate, MeOTf) is the most widely used through mild reaction condition with high yield. Strong inorganic bases, KOH, NaH and so on, were chosen to activate precursors that have phenolic alcohol as a nucleophilic moiety, because of its poor nucleophilicity. However, these catalyst can also react with radioactive intermediate, $[^{11}C]$MeOTf to afford side products. We will briefly discuss the history of the effort to increase the yield of $[^{11}C]$raclopride and suggest the alternate method for better radiochemical yield and consistency.

  • Piezoelectric materials can directly convert mechanical energy to electrical one, and vice versa. Research on piezoelectric materials and devices has a long history, and now many relevant products are available in a wide range of applications such as medical, military, industrial, home appliance, and mobile electronics. One of the major research trends now is not only to further improve the physical properties of the piezoelectric materials, but also to reduce the size of the piezoelectric devices. This review focuses on the development of piezoelectric thin films that can enhance the performance of microtransducers.

  • Tube erosion can be defined as a phenomenon for an increment of bore diameter, a declination of accuracy and utility of tube by firing. This study introduces the characteristics of tube life for the 155 mm K9 SHP Using a tube history book with bore measurement data and firing data of standard charge, this study analyzed the EFC vs Tube life and EFC with heat transfer effect formula as a consideration of continuous firing vs tube life. The results were compared with Firing Table(FT 155-K9-1) after the analysis. Also, this study suggests that CN98 tube can be rifled as 1000 EFC through the severe condition with continuous firing.
