  • This paper proposes Nonlinear Interior Point Method (NIPM) including discrete control variables optimal power flow formulations. The algorithm utilizes the robustness in terms of starting point and fast convergence for large scale power system of NIPM and an introduction of rounding penalty function which is augmented in the Lagrangian function to handle discrete control variables. The derived formulation shows a simplified approach to deal with discrete control problems which is implementable in real large scale systems.

  • The antiviral mechanism of KT5720 is known to inhibit the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), on the VSV infection in BHK-21 cell cultures. The virus inducted CPE (cell rounding) was almost completely suppressed by KT5720 at 5 uM. The inhibitor, however, did not affect the replication of the virus and the synthesis of viral macromolecules. Immunological studies showed the viral matrix (M) protein displayed intimate association with the cytoskeletal components and probably the cell rounding. KT5720, did not block the cytoskeletal disruption, while the cell rounding was suppressed. These observations suggest that the interaction between the viral M protein and the cytoskeletal components may not be enough to cause the morphological change of the cell. And, the KT5720-sensitive function may be involved in developing the VSV-induced CPE, but not essential for the virus replications.

  • Previously, we reported induced expression of developmentally regulated CTP-binding protein 2 (DRG2) in fish cells at the late stage of rhabdovirus infection. To investigate the biological role of fish DRG2 (fDRG2), we transfected CHSE-214 cells with an expression vector containing complete fDRG2 fused to the N-terminal end of an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Low level expression of fDRG2-EGFP did not induce morphological change or cell death. However, a high level expression of fDRG2-EGFP induced cell rounding and caused depletion of the cell population in FACS analysis. Several truncated fragments were fused to EGFP. FACS analysis was conducted to determine the presence of cells expressing high levels of the resulting chimera. While cells expressing a high level of N-terminus were detected, those expressing high levels of the C-terminal fragment 243-290 containing the G4 motif were absent in FACS analysis. Based on these observations, we propose that overexpression of fDRG2 may induce cell rounding, a representative cytopathic effect of virus-infected cells in the late stage of infection and the C-terminus of the fDRG2 is essential for this function.

  • In the present society, our current technology associated with bakery industry has been improved as much as technical development can get abreast of the Western one where the bread has originated and has been awarded and ranked in the highest level of many bakery or pastry competitions. In these trends, many people are running for high value added business such as bakery industry and bakery $caf{\acute{e}}$, etc. with big interest. However, high labor cost of technician and difficulties in human resource management become obstruction factors in the growth of the bakery industries. Therefore, in this paper, the designed system for both dividing and rounding dough quickly and exactly at the same time was studied. The main function of this system is to divide the original dough into 3 tracks and then, to place 4 doughs in the inner track, 12 doughs in the mid track, 20 doughs in the outer track, totally 36 doughs in a routine. It takes much energy because 36 doughs can be completed in a routine. Therefore, this system uses hydraulic pressure and a 0.75Kw induction motor is used for dough rounding. This system can make primarily fermented dough into 36 divided doughs very quickly and exactly on a guide panel at the desired weight by dividing it within 1-9 seconds and by rounding each within 1-9 seconds. This system is very effective in bakery industry to minimize labor cost and it is expected to supply more hygienic products to the customers.

  • In this study, a square rounding sidewalk block frame was developed considering the simplicity of construction and the superiority of aesthetics. In addition, it is possible to prevent damage, deformation, and settlement of adjacent sidewalk blocks due to plastic deformation during car impact load of installed bollad. A non-linear structural analysis was performed through finite element analysis to examine the performance of a car crash to which this was applied. Structural safety was confirmed through car crash simulation according to the direction of impact, and it is estimated that the function can be restored by replacing some parts in case of damage due to impact.

  • For the efficient image encryption, we proposed the encryption algorithm using the chaotic function and elementary matrix operation defined on the bit plane decomposition. Though the chaotic encryption algorithm is faster than block encryption, it uses a real number computation. In this sense, we use the row and column operations on the bit-plane decomposed images combined with logistic function for the recursive rounding number, too.

  • Overlap Maximization is a sampling technique to reduce survey costs and costs associated with the survey. It was first studied by Keyfitz(1951). Ernst(1998) presented a remarkable procedure for maximizing the overlap when the sampling units can be selected for two identical stratified designs simultaneously, But the approach involves mimicking the behaviour of nonlinear function by linear function and so it is less direct, even though the stratification problem for the overlap corresponds directly to the linear programming problem. furthermore, it uses the controlled selection algorithm that repeatedly needs zero-restricted controlled roundings, which are solutions of capacitated transportation problems. In this paper we suggest a comparatively simple procedure to use linear programming in order to maximize the overlap. We show how this procedure can be implemented practically.

  • Purpose: The Purpose of this research was to develop the integrative exercise program for the elderly. Method: The first step was to survey the elder's health status and general health problems. The second step was to design the exercise type, intensity, time and frequency. Result: 1. Elders who implement the integrative exercise program had weaker health status, lower physical performance and more depression than any other places. 2. The integrative exercise program developed the preparation stage composed of stretching and Yudongkong-Ki exercise, the central stage was composed of range of motion exercise, muscle strength exercise and aerobic exercise with favorite and popular Korean music. The finishing stage was composed of joint rounding and Yudongkong-Ki exercise. The exercise intensity was RPE(rating perceived exertion) 10-11, maximal pulse rate 40-60%, duration started from 20min to 50min and frequency is 2-3times/wk. Conclusion: The integrative exercise program developed by the researcher is tailored exercise that is more applicable to individual cases in community settings. Eventually, the program is safely applicable to the elders, and is expected to improve the elders' physical function and quality of life.

  • I investigated the effect of KT5720, an inhibitor of protein kinase A, on the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection in BHK-21cell cultures. The virus inducted cytopathic effect (CPE) was almost completely suppressed by KT5720 at 5uM. The inhibitor, however, did not affect replication of the virus nor the synthesis of viral macromolecules. KT5720, did not block the cytoskeletal disruption, while the cell rounding was suppressed. And, the KT5720-sensitive function may be involved in developing the VSV-induced CPE, but not essential for the virus replications.

  • This paper proposes the new method based on the availability of three points measurement and convexity of photovoltaic (PV) curve characteristic at the maximum power point (MPP). In general, the MPP tracking (MPPT) function is the important part of all PV systems due to their power-voltage (P-V) characteristics related with weather conditions. Then, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and low pass filter (LPF) are required to measure the voltage and current for MPPT by the digital controller, which is used to implement the PV power conditioning system (PCS). The measurement and quantization error due to rounding or truncation in ADC and the delay of LPF might degrade the reliability of MPPT. To overcome this limitation, the proposed method is proposed while improving the performances in both steady-state and dynamic responses based on the detailed investigation of its properties for availability and convexity. The performances of proposed method are evaluated with the several case studies by the PSCAD/EMTDC$^{(R)}$ simulation. Then, the experimental results are given to verify its feasibility in real-time.
