One of the most important justifications of conservation of ecosystem and biodiversity is that diversity begets stability. Impact of biodiversity on community and ecosystem function has long been debated in science. Here we report the stability analysis of soil oribatid mite communities from environmentally stressed habitat(Namsan) and relatively well preserved habitat (Kwangreung) with the perspective of consistency as a primary criteria of stability. Stability of oribatid mite communities were evaluated with turnover rate, constancy analysis, b diversity index, and absolute abundance, abundance ranking, and the presence or absence of species over time. Out of 6 criteria, three consented that oribatid community from Kwangreung was more stable than that from Namsan. Those are turnover rate in litter layer, constancy analysis, and absolute abundance. Feasibility of stability analysis using oribatid mites was further discussed, rendering further study.

The Configuration Management(CM) of Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) is an activity that maintains consistency among the design requirement, facility configuration information and physical configuration. It is a systematic approach to performing various engineering tasks such as change management by identifying, documenting the characteristics of plant Structures, Systems and Component(SSC). The first activity that should be performed the configuration baseline setting at the start of project. The configuration baseline of the NPP construction phase is the status of the SSC of the plant at a specified process and time, and the actual configuration changes depending on the condition of plant. In this paper, I have studied the current status of configuration baseline used in the software industry and general plant industry, method of establishment for the configuration baseline which was first applied to the construction of NPP.

To provide highly available services in the distributed object system, it is required to support the object group. The state machine approach and primary-backup approach are proposed as two representative approaches for support of object group. The primary-backup approach does not only give merits such as transparency of object group and non-deterministic execution but also require less resource than state machine approach. This paper describes an extension of CORBA that is required to support of the primary-backup object group. In this paper, the state of backup is synchronized with primary through the atomic multicast protocol whenever the request of client is executed at primary. As a result, it does not require message logging and check pointing. The object group of this paper also provides fast response time in case of failure of the primary since it makes primary election unnecessary. And through an extension of IDL, it makes possible to avoid consistency control depending on characteristic of application. A prototype has been implemented and the performance of object group has been compared with a single object invocation.

Any ERP system pushes a company toward full process integration and solves the fragmentation of information. However, the tight process integration can propagate and magnify mistakes made in one department into the other departments in real time. Thus, it can be posited that a central support system for the coordination can help ERP users and administrators dig out problems, take care of tedious validation and verification, and maintain process integration of ERP with great consistency. This paper ,proposes an agent-based ERP operations support system (EOSS) that aims at achieving and maintaining process integration of ERP at the highest level possible. With EOSS, the process integrity is monitored, with anomalies prevented as early as possible and repaired as precisely as possible.

This study focused on the improvement of prosody transplantation technology to be used for effective prosody education. Issues making the technology a less acceptable tool for prosody education were addressed. Instead of merely copying the target pitch onto a learner's utterances, the target pitch was resealed in semitone before the transplantation. In so doing, distortion of a signal was minimized and the transplanted utterance could have the quality of sound not different from the learner's utterances. Instead of manual transplantation, an automatic procedure was proposed to increase the reliability and the consistency of the outcome and enable real time processing. The perceptual performance of the automatic transplantation was evaluated by the perception experiment showing the automatic ransplantation was as good as the manual process.

It is almost impossible to aggregate environment-related information, simply because it is vast. Therefore, Recently, the development of an environmental index is attracting the attention in Korea and other nations, since it is taken to be useful for legislating environmental policies. When it comes to the development of an environmental index, the first necessary step is to organize environmental information by using an accounting framework that manifests outstanding consistency and inclusiveness. And then, this organized environmental information should be appropriately used, whenever required. Compared to these movements, it is necessary to point out that the environmental accounts in the agricultural section still suffer from numerous problems that need to be solved. According1y, this dissertation suggests and considers at least the following three matters. First of all, an integrated index evaluation method should be developed, taking domestic and foreign movements into consideration at the time of conducting the environmental evaluation. Secondly, a master plan for the environmental accounts should be developed for the agricultural sector. And thirdly and finally, problems and solutions incurred during the process of performing the aforementioned tasks need to be examined in detail.

The steady and dynamic shear rheological properties of traditional kochujang fermented at three different temperatures (20${^circ}C$, 25${^circ}C$ and 30${^circ}C$) were studied. Flow of kochujang samples showed time dependence, which was quantitatively described by the Weltman model, Kochujang samples were highly shear thinning fluids (n=0.25~0.27) with large magnitudes of Casson yield stresses (1.09~1.21 kPa). Consistency index (K) and apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,20}$) increased with increase in fermentation temperature of kochujang. Storage (G') and loss (G") moduli increased with increase in frequency (ω), while complex viscosity (${\eta}^{\ast}$) decreased. Based on dynamic shear data, kochujang samples exhibit structural properties similar to weak gels. The complex and steady shear viscosities at different fermentation temperatures followed the Cox-Merz superposition rule with the application of the shift factor (a=0.011~0.016).

Longitudinal quantification of brain changes due to development, aging or disease plays an important role in the filed of personalized-medicine applications. However, due to the temporal variability in shape and different imaging equipment and parameters, estimating anatomical changes in longitudinal studies is significantly challenging. In this paper, a longitudinal Magnetic Resonance(MR) brain image segmentation algorithm proposed by combining intensity information and anisotropic smoothness term which contain a spatial smoothness constraint and longitudinal consistent constraint into a variational framework. The minimization of the proposed energy functional is strictly and effectively derived from a fast optimization algorithm. A large number of experimental results show that the proposed method can guarantee segmentation accuracy and longitudinal consistency in both simulated and real longitudinal MR brain images for analysis of anatomical changes over time.

Web Service technologies make the automation of business activities that are distributed across multiple enterprises possible. Existing extended transaction protocols typically resort to compensation actions to regain atomicity and consistency. A reservation-based transaction protocol is proposed to reduce high compensation risk. However, for a serial long running transaction processing, the resource that is reserved in the early stage may be released due to resource holding time expires. Therefore, our analysis theoretically illustrates a scheduling scheme that tries to prevent the loss of resource holding as well as gain an optimized execution plan with minimum compensation cost. In order to estimate cost of different schedules, we set up a costing model and cost metric to quantize compensation risk.

Diabetes is a common chronic disease that threatens human life and health, and its prevalence remains high because its mechanisms are complex, further its etiology remains unclear. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), there are 463 million cases of diabetes in adults worldwide, and the number is growing. This study aims to explore the potential influencing factors of diabetes by learning data from the UCI diabetes dataset, which is a multivariate time series dataset. In this paper we propose the TCN-prophet model for diabetes. The experimental results show that the prediction of insulin concentration by the TCN-prophet model provides a high degree of consistency, compared to the existing LSTM model.
