This paper proposes a low-complexity central processing unit (CPU) that is suitable for deeply embedded systems, including Internet of things (IoT) applications. The core features a 16-bit instruction set architecture (ISA) that leads to high code density, as well as a multicycle architecture with a counter-based control unit and adder sharing that lead to a small hardware area. A co-processor, instruction cache, AMBA bus, internal SRAM, external memory, on-chip debugger (OCD), and peripheral I/Os are placed around the core to make a system-on-a-chip (SoC) platform. This platform is based on a modified Harvard architecture to facilitate memory access by reducing the number of access clock cycles. The SoC platform and CPU were simulated and verified at the C and the assembly levels, and FPGA prototyping with integrated logic analysis was carried out. The CPU was synthesized at the ASIC front-end gate netlist level using a $0.18{\mu}m$ digital CMOS technology with 1.8V supply, resulting in a gate count of merely 7700 at a 50MHz clock speed. The SoC platform was embedded in an FPGA on a miniature board and applied to deeply embedded IoT applications.

It is difficult for civil engineer to apply composite materials of laminated type to structure for civil construction because of complicated theory although those have much merit. A simple method by which one can predict "exact" values of the natural frequency of vibration of laminated plates is presented. Many laminates with particular orientations have negligible values of $B_{16}$ and $B_{26}$ as the number of plies increases. Such laminates, with $D_{16}$ = $D_{26}$ ->0 can be solved by the same equation as for the special orthotropic laminates(1991,1995). If the quasi-isotrpic constants are used, It is possible to simplify analysis procedure since the equations for isotropic plates can be used. Use of some coefficients can produce "exact" values for laminates with such configuration. This coefficient, in fact, represents the effect of the anisotropy of the laminate. D. H. Kim proposed to use a correction factor, he developed, to produce "exact" solution out of the approximate solution obtained by using the quasi-isotropic constants(1995). In this paper, the fiber orienation studied is [$\alpha$/$\beta$/$\beta$/$\gamma$/$\alpha$/$\alpha$/$\beta$]r, with $\alpha$=-$\beta$, and $\gamma$${\gamma}$=$0^{\circ}$ or $90^{\circ}$ and the above-mentioned method is used to obtain the natural frequencies of plates with such orientations, and detailed result is presented for the use of engineers.nted for the use of engineers.

Sports scene is characterized by large amount of global motion due to pan and zoom of camera motion, and includes many small objects moving independently. Some short period of sports games is thrilling to televiewers, and important to producers. At the same time that kinds of scenes exhibit exceptionally dynamic motions and it is very difficult to analyze the motions with conventional algorithms. In this thesis, several algorithms are proposed for global motion analysis on these dynamic scenes. It is shown that proposed algorithms worked well for motion compensation and panorama synthesis. When cascading the inter frame motions, accumulated errors are unavoidable. In order to minimize these errors, interpolation method of motion vectors is introduced. Affined transform or perspective projection transform is regarded as a square matrix, which can be factorized into small amount of motion vectors. To solve factorization problem, we preposed the adaptation of Newton Raphson method into vector and matrix form, which is also computationally efficient. Combining multi frame motion estimation and the corresponding interpolation in hierarchical manner enhancement algorithm of motion parameters is proposed, which is suitable for motion compensation and panorama synthesis. The proposed algorithms are suitable for special effect rendering for broadcast system, video indexing, tracking in complex scenes, and other fields requiring global motion estimation.

In order to elucidate the interaction effect between temperature and moisture content on the oil expression of perilla seed, recovery of expressed oil (REO) and volumetric strain of pressed cake (VSPC) of both roasted and unroasted perilla seeds were observed at different temperatures of 30, 40, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$, and different moisture contents of 2.5, 4.5, 6.5 and 8.5% (w.b). And duration of press was 11 min and applied pressure was 50 MPa. At the low temperature REO and VSPC of roasted and unroasted perilla seed increased in high moisture content and at the high temperature those increased in low moisture content. But REO and VSPC at 8.5% moisture content were decreased without relation to temperature. From the analysis of variance between expression factors and REO and VSPC, temperature and moisture contents showed high significance. Also the interaction effect between temperature and moisture content was higher than temperature. In our experimental conditions, the highest interaction effect between expression factors was observed in the range of $2.5{\sim}4.5%$ of moisture content in all temperatures. The maximum REO of unroasted perilla seeds was observed as 84.4% at 2.5% of moisture content and $60^{\circ}C$, and that of roasted one was as 84.3% at 6.5% of moisture content and $30^{\circ}C$.

Parboiling, a popular technology used to protect rice from nutrient loss during milling and to increase the shelf-life of rice, was applied to barley kernels, and its effect on nutrient retention and chemical composition was evaluated. Before 36 days after ear emergence, barley kernels showed water content higher than 40%, and parboiling without presoaking resulted in at least 43% of gelatinization degree. This implies that soaking, an important step of parboiling, is dispensable for barley at milky stage. Parboiling did make little change in the appearance of the kernel after 31 days from ear emergence. Nonreducing sugars such as sucrose and raffinose remained unchanged while reducing sugars of barley was decreased by parboiling, with exception that maltose increased. Pearling led to decrease in crude protein, fat, fiber and minerals of barley sampled and parboiled on 36th day from ear emergence. Free sugars in the parboiled barley also was reduced with increasing pearling rate. Vitamin $B_1$ content of the parboiled barley was $260\;{\mu}g\;per\;100\;g$ as dry basis at 50% pearling rate, compared to $36\;{\mu}g$ for raw barley at same pearling rate. Thus parboiling appeared to be very effective in the retention of vitamin $B_1$ during pearling.

For the simple rapid bioassay of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticide residues, a mass-production system of acetycholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7, MAChE) using baculovirus and insect cell culture was constructed. The cDNA for AChE was synthesized from Drosophila melanogaster in Halla Mountain, the lipid anchor tail was removed by PCR and was used for the site-directed mutagenesis of three amino acid residues (E107Y, F368L, L408F). The mutated cDNA was inserted into the baculovirus vector and expressed in insect cells. Maximum cell growth and enzyme activity were reached when the cells $(2{\times}10^6\;cell/ml)$ were infected four times at four-day-intervals. His-tag containing MAChE was purified using Ni-NTA column and used for characterization. The activity was maintained under various pHs (3-10) and temperatures $(20-50^{\circ}C)$ under experimental conditions. As an extraction solution for pesticides, methanol is more effective than ethanol. Against major organophosphate and carbamate pesticides, the MAChE showed better sensitivity than AChE and AChE from housefly (Taiwan).

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of moisture content and pressure on extraction yield, crude saponins and ginsenoside contents of puffed Korean ginseng. Puffed ginsengs showed relatively higher extraction yield ($50.0{\sim}62.1%$) and amounts of crude saponins ($19.6{\sim}48.8$ mg/g ginseng) than no-puffed ginseng ($37.6{\pm}0.8%$ and $11.0{\pm}1.0$ mg/g ginseng), respectively. The highest extraction yield and amounts of crude saponins were obtained in 8.0% moisture content sample puffed at 10 $kg_f/cm^2$. In HPLC analysis, amounts of measured major ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, and Rg1) decreased with increasing puffing pressure, yet contents of almost all major gin senosides were higher than control (no-puffed). On the other hand, ginsenoside Rg3 were produced after puffing suggesting that chemical structure of some ginsenosides might be altered during the puffing process. These results indicate that puffing can increase the extraction yield and crude saponin contents and it could influence the ginsenoside composition.

연안 및 해안공학의 발달과 더불어 부유식방파제의 기능적 효율성이 중요시 되고 있다. 흔히 사용되어오던 착저식방파제는 설치에 많은 시간과 경비가 소요되고 환경 및 생태계에 많은 변화를 줄 수 있으며, 설치 예정지의 수리학적 특성 등의 여건에 많은 제약을 받는 단점이 있다. 부유식방파제는 일본 등의 선진국을 중심으로 활용이 잦아지고 있는 방파제로서 수면 위에 설치되기 때문에 수중 생태계에 미치는 영향이 적은 친환경방파제이다. 또한 기존에 시공된 중력식방파제와는 달리 수심에 제한을 덜 받고, 공사기간이 짧기 때문에 경제적이다. 실제 시공사례로는 2007년 마산 원전항에 완공된 부유식방파제가 대표적이며, 지금까지도 부유식방파제에 대한 여러 연구자들의 관심이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 방파제뿐만 아니라 우리나라처럼 국토의 면적이 작은 지역에서 증가하는 해상물동량을 소화하기 위해서 부유식방파제 등을 이용한 항만의 시공이 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 부유식방파제의 분석적인 측면에 있어서 수치해석은 파랑과 구조물의 상호작용을 해석하는 데 한계가 있으며, 부유식방파제 단면형상을 정확하게 재현할 수 없으므로, 수리모형실험을 통한 부유식방파제의 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 최근 기술의 발달로 인한 유동장 해명이 가능해 졌으며, PIV(Particle image velocimetry) 및 LDV시스템은 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 특히, LDV시스템은 측정하려는 한 지점에 대하여 레이저 빔을 단면(Cross-section)으로 만들고 입자의 산란광을 후방산란(Back scatter)으로 받아서 도플러 효과를 이용, 속도에 대한 주파수를 획득하며, 유속을 측정하는 장비로 매우 높은 정확도와 비접촉식 이라는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, PIV 시스템에 비하여 측정시간이 오래 걸리는 반면 데이터를 가공하지 않고 활용할 만큼 높은 정확성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통하여 단독형, 2열형 및 3열형 부유식방파제의 형상, 흘수 및 거리를 변화시키며 유동장을 수집하였으며, 방파성능에 따른 와의 생성 및 소멸시점에서의 파랑변형과의 관계를 분석하였다. 방파제의 형상과 흘수를 달리하여 수리모형실험을 수행하였으며, 와류의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 연직 2차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형을 이용하여 수치모형실험을 수행하였으며, 수치모형실험 결과와 수리모형실험 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 후방방파제에서 발생되는 파랑은 입사파의 주기가 길어질수록 상대적으로 커지는 현상을 보였으며, 흘수심이 깊어질수록 전방방파제 입사 면에서 자유 수면이 높게 관측되는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 비교적 장주기파랑에 해당하는 입사파랑의 경우 전달파고비 산정에 있어서 설계기준인 0.5를 대다수 초과하는 반면, 3열형 구조에서는 대부분이 0.5이하로 상당히 높은 방파성능 결과를 나타내었다.

The journal impact factor(JIF) of the Thomson Reuters(ISI) has been widely used to assess the impact of journal as well as its quality. However, the JIF contains its critical limitation, in which it does not measure the impact of journal but the average impact of articles in journal. Besides significant number of problems of the JIF has been noticed. Furthermore, given the limited coverage of domestic citation index database in comparison to those of international citation index, it is necessary to apply a more appropriate index with a high level of discriminating power. This study, therefore, aims to introduce some practical methods to measure the impact of domestic journals by using the Hirsch-type indices. As the Hirsch-type indices has been often used for overcoming the limitations of the JIF in worldwide, we hope that our research outcome offers an effective alternative to gauge the impact of journals more accurately. Consequently, using the variations of the h-index($h_s$-index, $f_s$-index) or the sum of issue level(issue based h-index, issue based f-index), we argue that it would improve the discrimination capacity of the Hirsch-type indices significantly and that we can measure the impact of domestic journals more clearly.

In digital broadcasting, services such as digital satellite TV, cable TV and digital terrestrial TV, several video programs are compressed by MPEG-2, and then simultaneously transmitted over a conventional CBR (Constant Bit Rate) broadcasting channel. In this paper, we propose a joint quality control scheme to be able to accurately control the relative picture quality among the video programs, which is achieved by simdt;,nL'Ously controlling the video encoders to generate the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compressed video streams. Our quality control scheme can prevent the video buffer overflow and underflow by total target bit allocation process, and also exactly control the relative picture quality in terms of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) between some programs requiring higher picture quality and others by rate-distortion modification. Furthermore we present a rate-distortion estimation method for MPEG-2 video, which is base of our joint quality control, and verify its performance by experiments. The most attractive features of this estimation method are as follows: 1) computational complexity is low because main operation for the estimation is to calculate the histogram of OCT coefficients into quantizer; 2) estimation results are very accurate enough to be applied to the practical MPEG-2 video coding applications. Simulation results show that the proposed joint quality control scheme accurately controls the relative picture quality among the video progran1s transmitted over a single channel as well as provides more consistent and higher picture quality than independent coding scheme that encodes each program independently.
