본 논문은 환경 협력통신 시스템에서 새로운 동기 알고리즘 방법을 다양한 페이딩 채널에 적용하여 연구하였다. 기존 데이터 프레임에 확산코드를 삽입하여 효율적으로 데이터 동기를 제어하는 방식으로 연구하였다. 사용된 확산 코드는 M-시퀀스와 PN (Pseudo Noise) 시퀀스를 사용하였으며, 각 프레임에 일정 비트 시퀀스를 삽입하여, 수신된 데이터에서 사용한 확산코드를 추출하여 Correlation 연산을 취해 데이터 지연값을 확인할 수 있다. 모의실험에 있어서, 협력통신 방법은 DF (Decode-and-forward) 방식으로 실험을 하였으며, 페이딩 채널 환경은 Rayleigh, Rician, Gaussian 채널을 각각 적용하여 확산코드별로 나누어 성능을 분석했다. 또한, 본 논문의 결과는 추후 협력통신 시스템 연구에 적용할 수 있다.

In this paper, we studied the novel synchronization algorithm for cooperative communication system over fading. We research mainly on the decode-and-forward scheme. Also, we inserted spreading sequence in origin data frame to control efficiently data synchronization. In mobile station, inserted spreading sequence in data frame passed through the corelation process. We had decide the delay value of received data through result of correlation process. In simulation, We applied that channel gain of three node had different value in various fading environment. Finally we will be possible to control the received data synchronization using result of corelation value in each node between relay to mobile station and base station to mobile station. The results of this paper can be applicable to the cooperative systems.

The sequence space $m(M,{\phi})^F$ of fuzzy real numbers is introduced. Some properties of this sequence space like solidness, symmetricity, convergence-free etc. are studied. We obtain some inclusion relations involving this sequence space.

The Banach spaces $m^p(\phi)$ and $n^p(\phi)$ are very important sequence spaces related to $l_p$, which were defined to fill the gaps between $l_p(1{\leq}p{\leq}{\infty})$. In this paper, we investigated the solubility of the infinite system of differential equations in $m^p(\phi)$ and $n^p(\phi)$ by proving related theorems. Moreover, one example has been included for the justification of the claim of this paper.

In this letter, a novel M-ary code-selected direct sequence (DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system is presented. Our purpose is to achieve a high data rate by an M-ary code-selected direct sequence bipolar pulse amplitude modulation (MCSDS-BPAM) scheme. In this system, a particular DS code sequence is selected by the $log_2M$/2 bits from the DS gold code set. This scheme can accomplish both a high data rate without increasing the system bandwidth or changing the pulse shape and improve the BER with an increase of modulation level M even at a lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The receiver signal processing algorithm is given for an MCSDS-BPAM UWB system over an ideal AWGN channel and correlation receivers.

In this article, we construct lacunary ∆^m-statistical convergence for triple sequences within the context of intuitionistic fuzzy n-normed spaces (IFnNS). For lacunary ∆^m-statistical convergence of triple sequence in IFnNS, we demonstrate numerous results. For this innovative notion of convergence, we further built lacunary ∆^m-statistical Cauchy sequences and offered the Cauchy convergence criterion.

The aim of this work was to validate a rapid and an accurate method for detecting Mycobacterium leprae in clinical specimens using nested PCR targeting M. leprae-specific repetitive element (RLEP) sequence. The primers were derived from the RLEP sequence which yield a 272 bp outer product and a 230 bp inner product. The specificity and the sensitivity of the nested PCR were compared with those of single PCR for detecting M. leprae using DNAs isolated from reference strain and various species of Mycobacterium. The results showed that the sensitivity of the nested PCR was about 100 to 1,000 times higher than that of the single PCR and also showed that both the single and the nested PCR were highly specific to M. leprae. Subsequently, the usefulness of the single and nested PCR was evaluated with clinical samples isolated from leprosy patients. The number of positive detections by the single and the nested PCR with a total of 20 specimens from leprosy patients were 9 (45%) and 20 (100%), respectively. The results clearly showed that nested PCR has highest sensitivity in detecting M. leprae from clinical specimens. Therefore, nested primers targeting RLEP sequence developed in this study seems to be useful to detect the presence of M. leprae.

We compared the DNA sequences of the genus Metagonimus: M. yokogawai, M. takahashii, and M. miyatai. We obtained 288 D1 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) fragments from the adult worms by PCR, that were cloned and sequenced. Phylogenetic relationships inferred from the nucleotide sequences of the 28S D1 rDNA and mtCOI gene. M. takahashii and M. yokogawai are placed in the same clade supported by DNA sequence and phylogenie tree analysis in 28S D1 rDNA and mtCOI gene region. The above findings tell us that M. takahashii is closer to M. yokogawai than to M. miyatai genetically. This phylogenetic data also support the nomination of M. miyatai as a separate species.

Hantavirus is a genus of the Bunyaviridae family causing two serious diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Puumala virus is a member of hantavirus originally found in Europe, and its natural reservoir is Clethrionomys glareolus. It is also associated with the human disease nephropathia epidemica, a milder form of HFRS. To identify the hantaviruses in bats, bats were collected from Jeong-Sun, Won-Joo, Chung-Ju and Hwa-Cheon area in Korea, and nested RT-PCR was performed with serotype specific primer from M segment. Interestingly, Puumala virus was detected in bats (Rhinolophus ferrum-equinum) only from Won-Joo. The 327 bp nested RT-PCR product, was sequenced. The sequence database search indicates that the sequence is homologous to the published sequence of Puumala viruses. The sequence similarities were ranged from 71% to 97%. The highest sequence similarity was 97% with Puumala virus Vranicam strain, and the lowest was 71% with Puumala virus K27 isolate. Puumala virus Vranicam strain was isolated from a bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Puumala virus K27 was isolated from human in Russia. This analysis confirms that bats (Rhinolophus ferrum-equinum) in Korea are natural reservoir of Puumala virus.

본 연구는 사과 대목 M.26 (Malus pumila Mill))의 효과적인 기내 대량번식하기 위해 신초 증식과 뿌리 형성에 적합한 배지조건을 확립하고, simple sequence repeat (SSR) 마커를 이용하여 증식된 소식물체의 유전적 다양성을 분석하고자 수행하였다. MS (Murashige and Skoog) 기본배지에 benzyladenin (BA, $0.5{\sim}5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)와 thidiazuron (TDZ, $0.01{\sim}0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)을 첨가하여 신초를 배양한 결과, $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA 처리에서 절편체 당신초 수가 10.67개로 가장 많았으며 과수화 발생률은 BA 처리구보다 TDZ 처리구에서 높았다. M.26 신초 증식에 BA와 auxin과의 혼용처리 효과는 없었고, $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA가 첨가된 MS 기본배지가 적합하였다. 신초 발근에 적합한 배지를 구명하고자 auxin인 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)와 ${\alpha}$-naphthaleneacetic acid의 농도($0.5{\sim}5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), MS 배지의 무기염류(1/4 ~ 1배) 및 sucrose 농도($0{\sim}30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$)를 달리하여 처리한 결과, $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA, $15{\sim}20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose가 첨가된 1/2 MS 배지에서 발근율(100%), 뿌리 수(10.45 ~ 13.60개/절편체), 뿌리 길이(7.41 ~ 8.33 cm) 및 신초 길이(4.93 ~ 5.38 cm)가 양호하였다. 15종의 SSR primer를 이용하여 증식된 20개의 소식물체를 분석한 결과, 총 30개의 대립유전자가 검출되었으며 모두 동일한 밴드 패턴을 보여 온실에서 자란 M.26 식물체와 유사하여 유전적으로 안정한 것으로 판단되었다.

The objective of this study was to determine the most effective medium condition of shoot proliferation and root formation for the efficient in vitro micropropagation of M.26 (Malus pumila Mill). Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of micro-propagated and greenhouse grown M.26. Shoot proliferation was carried out in MS (Murashige and Skoog) containing benzyladenin (BA, $0.5{\sim}5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) and thidiazuron (TDZ, $0.01{\sim}0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). The highest number of shoots (10.67 shoots per explant) was induced by adding BA at a concentration $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. TDZ treatments caused higher hyperhydricity rate in cultured explants than in BA treatments. There was no significant effect of both BA and auxin on shoot proliferation, and the optimum proliferation medium for M.26 was MS medium containing $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA. To find a suitable medium composition for shoot rooting, we tested different concentrations indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and ${\alpha}$-naphthaleneacetic acid ($0.5{\sim}5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), MS medium (1/4-1), sucrose ($0{\sim}30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$). The shoots showed good rooting on half-strength MS medium containing $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA and $15-20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose. The rooting rate (100%), number of roots (10.45 ~ 13.60 roots per explant), root length (7.41 ~ 8.33 cm), and shoot length (4.93 ~ 5.38 cm) were good on this medium. Fifteen SSR primers were detected in a total of 30 alleles in 20 micro-propagated plantlets, all SSR profiles from micro-propagated plantlets were monomorphic and similar to greenhouse grown control plantlet M.26 plant. The results indicated that M.26 micro-propagated plantlets were genetically stable.

The objective of this study was to determine the degree of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) divergence between two subspecies of $Mustela$ $sibirica$ from Korea ($M.$ $s.$ $coreanus$ on the Korean Peninsula and ($M.$ $s.$ $quelpartis$ on Jeju Island) and to examine the taxonomic status of ($M.$ $s.$ $quelpartis$. Thus, we obtained complete sequences of mtDNA cytochrome $b$ gene (1,140 bp) from the two subspecies, and these sequences were compared to a corresponding haplotype of ($M.$ $s.$ $coreanus$, downloaded from GenBank. From this analysis, it was observed that the sequences from monogenic ($M.$ $s.$ $quelpartis$ on Jeju Island were identical to the sequences of four ($M.$ $s.$ $coreanus$from four locations across the Korean Peninsula, and that the two subspecies formed a single clade; the average nucleotide distance between the two subspecies was 0.26% (range, 0.00 to 0.53%). We found that the subspecies $quelpartis$ is not genetically distinct from the subspecies $coreanus$, and that this cytochrome $b$ sequencing result does not support the current classification, distinguishing these two subspecies by pelage color. Further systematic analyses using morphometric characters and other DNA markers are necessary to confirm the taxonomic status of ($M.$ $s.$ $quelpartis$.

New PCR primers (N=18) were designed for the isolation of complete SSU to LSU rDNA sequences from the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense. Standard PCR, employing each primer set selected for amplifications of less than 1.5 kb, successfully amplified the expected rDNA regions of A. tamarense (Korean isolate, HY970328M). Complete SSU, LSU rDNAs and ITS sequences, including 5.8S rDNA, were recorded at 1,800 bp, 520 bp and 3,393 bp, respectively. The LSU rDNA sequence was the first report in Alexandrium genus. No intron was found in the LSU rRNA coding region. Twelve D-domains within the LSU rDNA were put together into 1,879 bp (44.4% G+C), and cores into 1514 bp (42.8% G+C). The core sequence was significantly different (0.0867 of genetic distance, 91% sequence similarity) in comparison with Prorocentrum micans (GenBank access. no. X16108). The D2 region was the longest in length (300 bp) and highly variable among the 12 D-domains. In a phylogenetic analysis using complete LSU rDNA sequences of a variety of phytoplankton, A. tamarense was clearly separated with high resolution against other species. The result suggests that the sequence may resolve the taxonomic ambiguities of Alexandrium genus, particularly of the tamarensis complex.
