Electro-hydrostatic actuators(EHAs), which are usually composed of a direct motor-driven hydraulic pump and a cylinder, have been widely adopted as aircraft actuation systems because of their benefits in terms of improved efficiency, weight savings and the fact that they use a standalone power source. Since the recent trend in construction vehicles has been focus on energy savings in their hydraulic systems, EHAs are expected to be potential substitutes for conventional power transmission, since they are capable of energy recovery as well as highly efficient pump control. In this paper, the start and stop characteristics of EHAs were investigated through cracking pressure analysis of the pilot-operated check valve(PCV), which enables the cylinder to standstill against an external load with no holding effort from the hydraulic pump. A mathematical model that includes the load dynamics and the EHA's internal hydraulic circuit was derived for simulation with the MATLAB Simulink package. This model verified the PCV's opening and closing sequence, which in turn affects the EHA's start and stop characteristics.

본 연구는 2012년 시행할 예정인 신재생에너지 공급의무화제도(RPS) 하에서 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 추가비용 발생 시 국민들이 RPS 제도의 목표 및 형태에 대하여 어떤 선호를 가지고 있으며, RPS 제도에 대한 소비자들의 만족도를 높이기 위한 개선점이 있는지 알아보고자 수행되었다. 이에 소비자 선호를 조사하는 대표적인 연구방법론인 조건부가치평가법(CVM)을 활용하여, RPS 제도 하에서 발생 가능한 소비자 선호, 구성요소 합산효과 및 지역별 선호의 차이의 3개 주제에 대한 연구를 3차례 설문을 통해 수행하였다. 해당 연구의 주요 내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리나라 국민들의 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 WTP는 가구당 1,456~1,560원/월 수준으로 이는 우리나라 가구당 월 평균 전기요금의 약 3.7~3.5% 수준에 해당한다. 이를 토대로 추산한 신재생에너지 전력 이용에 대한 국민들의 편익은 2011년 신재생에너지 보급 관련 예산의 42.4% 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 국민들은 에너지원의 선택에 대한 비용 차이가 있을 시에는 개별 신재생에너지원을 대체재(substitutes)로 인식하였다. 그러나 에너지원의 선택에 대한 비용 차이가 없는 경우에는 특정 신재생에너지원에 대한 선호를 보이며, 특히 태양광에 대한 선호도가 가장 높게 도출되었다. 셋째, 소비자들의 선호도에 따른 재생에너지 포트폴리오를 적용한 결과, 우리나라 국민들은 연 2,618~2,806 GWh 규모의 신재생에너지 전력을 생산하는데 소요되는 추가비용을 지불할 의사가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 2010년도 우리나라 전체 전력 수요의 0.62~0.66% 정도로 RPS에서 목표로 하는 의무비율을 이행하기에는 부족한 것으로 보인다. 넷째, 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 선호는 지역별로 다르게 나타났다. 이는 지역 간 저항응답의 비율, 재생에너지 시설 인근 경험 및 재생에너지 시설 입지에 대한 찬반의사 등의 지역별 차이에서 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of leaf powder colorants as substitutes for traditional fresh juice extract dyeing. Three kinds of leaf powder colorants were prepared by freeze drying method with or without deep freezing as pre-treatment: one powder colorant from fresh leaf juice with deep freezing; two kinds of powder colorant from fresh leaves with and without deep freezing. Their dyeing properties and storage stabilities were studied and compared with the traditional fresh juice extract dyeing. The presence of indigo in the powder colorants was confirmed by UV/Visible absorption spectra. They showed absorption peak at 602nm which was same with indigo absorption peak. Dyeing was done at low temperature around 6$^{\circ}C$. All three powder colorants produced B colors on silk fabrics, showing similar color to the one dyed traditionally with fresh juice extract. The powder colorants from leaves gave higher color strength than the powder from leaf juice. The powder colorant prepared from leaves with deep freezing was the most stable for long term storage as its color and color strength were not changed after 360 days. So, this was used for further dyeing to study the effects of concentration and repeat dyeing on color strength and colorfastness. Fastnesses to dry cleaning and rubbing were fairly good above 4 rating. Further study is needed to improve light fastness. It was concluded that the leaf powder colorant with deep freezing could be used as a substitute for traditional juice extract dyeing at all seasons.

This study was carried on the oxidative stability and the real practice possibilities in cooking of fat replacer MCT. Nowadays, it was known that fats and oils had become causes for cardiac disease, obesity and cancer, so the new materials were needed for fat substitute that has less fat contents and low calories. The food industry concerned about fats and oils had been researched and developed new and various kinds of substitute fats. MCT(medium chain triglycerides) is one of the fat based fat substitutes used as fat replacers. The POV of com germ oil(CO), soybean oil(SO), shortening(ST), butter(BT), their blended oil with MCT 10-50%(w/w), and MCT were determined and oxidative stability by POV was compared MCT with those of them. MCT has shown higher oxidative stability than CO, SO, ST, BT, so oxidative stabilities in all kinds of blended oils become higher and higher by the increased substitution ratios. In case of bread, the volume of bread prepared with MCT(MCT bread) substituted for ST at 10-40% level(w/w) were increased a little comparing to that made of shortening(ST bread). But degree of gelatinization of MCT bread were a little lower than ST bread, at the substitute ratio above 40%, the degree of gelatinization were reduced greatly. These phenomena were sustained in 9 stored days. While baking losses of MCT breads were almost same as ST bread until 30% substitute ratio, and the appearances of MCT breads were similar to ST bread until 40% substitute ratio. Also rheological properties and color(Lab) of MCT breads had shown no different significantly from ST bread until 20% substitute ratio, but by the results of sensory evaluation, overall acceptance including appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture of MCT breads were recognized almost same as ST bread by panel until 40% substitute ratio. Depends on the above results, we can suggest that 30-40% of MCT will substitute for shortening in making bread in order to reduce fat and calories intake amounts.

Methodology Science Citation Index, developed by TS, has been used as an indicator to evaluate academic and research performance in worldwide research environment, as the world goes. With this trend, Korean Science Citation Index(KSCI) databases for domestic journals in the field of science and engineering have been constructed by some institutes such as KISTI, KRF, KOSEF, and so on. Many institutes in Korea are accepting the Impact Factor(IF) and SCI databases, proposed by TS as toolkits for evaluating research capability of their members without any criticism. However, the IF, mostly used as an analyzing tool, has been criticized by many different sectors. The validity of IF has been examined and/or complimented by a case study. In this study various indices as substitutes for IF are scrutinized and examined to maximize the usability of KSCI database.

There has been a marked increase in the utility of aspiration cytology for pathologic diagnosis. It may be applied to any kinds of organs and substitutes surgical biopsy. Be cause of the high risk of complication and difficulties In localization, aspiration cytology in the central nervous system (CNS) has been used with less frequency compared to other sites. However, with the advent of sophisticated imaging instruments, aspiration cytology of lesions in the CNS is being used increasingly. We present cytologic features of brain tumors as well as corresponding histologic findings. Eight types of tumors were aspirated intraoperatively and stained with the Papanicolaou method; 1 anaplastic astrocytoma, 1 glioblastoma multiforme, 1 ependymoma, 1 malignant ependymoma, 1 central neurocytoma, 1 primitive neuroectodermal tumor, 1 benign neurogenic tumor and 1 germinoma. Cytologic features of the CNS neoplasms were quite similar to those of histology except one spindle cell tumor. Reviewing various CNS neoplasms, it appears that cytology may be a useful diagnostic method.

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of leaf powder colorants as substitutes for traditional indigo dyeing. Leaf powder colorants were prepared by hot air($50^{\circ}C$) and room temperanrre($25^{\circ}C$) drying methods from fresh leaves. The presence of indigo in the leaf powder colorants was confirmed by UV/Visible absorption spectra. All the powder colorants showed broad absorption at 602 nm as same as synthetic indigo. Dyeing was done by reduction method with sodium hydrosulfite and sodium hydroxide. Leaf powder colorants produced blue color on silk fabrics, showing similar color to the one dyed traditionally with fresh juice extract. The powder colorants prepared at room temperature drying were more stable for long term storage than that prepared by hot air drying. Thus, the powder colorants prepared by room temperature drying was reduced and dyed in one-step process without sodium hydroxide in the dyebath for further investigate dyeing properties. K/S value of the fabric dyed without sodium hydroxide was much higher than one dyed with sodium hydroxide. Regardless of the addition of sodium hydroxide, rubbing fastness was fairly good showing above 4 rating. Fastness to dry cleaning and light of the fabrics dyed without sodium hydroxide were mote higher than that dyed in alkaline condition.

This study was performed to improve the development of the in vitro fertilized bovine embryos by the condition of in vitro maturation. COCs were matured in TCM 199 supplemented with 0.1% PVA, 10ng/ml EGF, Hormones (5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH, 10 IU hCG, 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml estradiol 17-$\beta$) or granulsa cell+Hormones atmosphere 39$^{\circ}C$, 5% CO2, 95% air for 24hrs. Matured oocytes were fertilized with frozen-thawed semen capacitated with 5mM caffein in BO medium for 20 hrs. IVF embryos were cultured in TCM 199 containing with hormones(same as matured medium), 10% FBS and co-culture with bovine oviduct epitherial cells. Maturation rates of COCs were showed 73.8%, 78.5%, 83.2% and 87.6% respectively, and were significant differences between PVA, EGF, and Hormones, GC+Hormones(p<0.05). The cleavage rates of IVF embryos were revealed 72.5%, 78.4%, 82.3% and 84.2% and showed same tendency as maturation rates(p<0.05). The blastocysts matured by above maturation condition and cultured for 7~10 days after fertilization had 34.4, 43.6, 52.3 and 59.3 cells had no differences among the treatments. These results suggest that high molecules as a substitutes of serum and growth factor may induce nuclear resumption of COCs but we need more study to produce transferable IVF blastocysts by use of that agents.

Guar gum, ${\kappa}$-carrageenan, alginic acid and chitosan were applied to pork as a model system, and evaluated as a substitute for inorganic polyphosphate, which is one of the essential additives in conventional meat processing. The tested materials did not alter the fat content or pH of the pork meat; however, they did affect water holding capacity and cooking loss significantly. The pork with added guar gum and ${\kappa}$-carrageenan exhibited lower cooking loss than the pork with added polyphosphate. Also, theses materials showed no negative coloring effect within the pork meat blends, which suggest the possibility for their application in final products. In addition, the pork processed with guar gum showed a similar emulsion stability to that with polyphosphate. Overall, guar gum and ${\kappa}$-carrageenan were confirmed as possible substitutes for inorganic polyphosphate.

Assembling new software systems from Prepared components is an attractive alternative to traditional software development method to reduce development cost and schedule dramatically. However, if separately developed components are tested, integrated and verified with unreasonable effort and high cost, it would not be an effective way to software development. Components are not distributed in the shape of white-box source code so that should be hard to validate and test in new application environment. For solving this problem, built-in tester components are suggested to check the contract-compliance of their server components. If components have various and complex function, built-in tester should be heavy and unflexible to test in composition of components. This paper suggests enhancing automated wrapper technique which substitutes with built-in tester components and shows the usability of the wrapper by design and implementation. Component testing in this way reduces the cost and effort associated with preparation of component testing and makes the various test experiments in components assembly.
