NAND 플래시 메모리는 저전력 소비, 비휘발성, 읽기 속도의 항상 등의 장점이 있다. 그러나 제자리 덮어쓰기(in-place-update)가 불가능하고 지우는 횟수에 제한이 있으며 페이지 단위로 연산이 수행되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 NAND 플래시 메모리를 위한 전용 파일 시스템으로 YAFFS가 개발되었지만 여러 가지 문제점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 빠른 복구를 위한 기법, 효율적인 데이터 갱신 기법 그리고 균등한 메모리 사용을 위한 플레인 지움 정책을 사용하는 파일 시스템을 제안한다 전원 오류 발생시, 로그 정보를 사용하여 빠른 복구를 지원한다. 그리고 플래시 메모리의 효율적인 사용을 위해 데이터 쓰기 양을 최소화하고 이를 위해 새로운 메타 데이터 구조를 제안한다. 또한 플레인 지움 정책은 플래시의 균등 사용과 임베디드 시스템의 제한된 자원을 고려하여 연산을 최소화한다. 제안된 기법들의 성능을 실험을 통해 증명하고 그 결과를 분석한다.

Background: The tissue microarray (TMA) is widely accepted as a fast and cost-effective research tool for in situ tissue analysis in modern pathology. However, the current automated and manual TMA techniques have some drawbacks restricting their productivity. Our study aimed to introduce an improved manual tissue miniarray (TmA) technique that is simple and readily applicable to a broad range of tissue samples. Materials and Methods: In this study, a conventional TV/radio telescopic antenna was used to punch tissue cores manually from donor paraffin embedded tissue blocks which were pre-incubated at $40^{\circ}C$. The cores were manually transferred, organized and attached to a standard block mould, and filled with liquid paraffin to construct TmA blocks without any use of recipient paraffin blocks. Results: By using a conventional TV/radio antenna, it was possible to construct TmA paraffin blocks with variable formats of array size and number ($2-mm{\times}42$, $2.5-mm{\times}30$, $3-mm{\times}24$, $4-mm{\times}20$ and $5-mm{\times}12$ cores). Up to $2-mm{\times}84$ cores could be mounted and stained on a standard microscopic slide by cutting two sections from two different blocks and mounting them beside each other. The technique was simple and caused minimal damage to the donor blocks. H&E and immunostained slides showed well-defined tissue morphology and array configuration. Conclusions: This technique is easy to reproduce, quick, inexpensive and creates uniform blocks with abundant tissues without specialized equipment. It was found to improve the stability of the cores within the paraffin block and facilitated no losses during cutting and immunostaining.

Electric drive technology is continually advanced to improve fuel efficiency in the automobile industry. It could improve the fuel efficiency of automobiles by 50% as well as agricultural machinery. The purpose of this study was to measure and analyze the power and current of an electric transplanter based on the planting distances during field operations. The electric transplanter was constructed by mounting the major components of a motor drive system onto a transplanter. The electric transplanter had a 3 kW motor power, and the major components included an inverter, battery, and a battery management system (BMS). The field tests were conducted by travelling at two speeds (300 and 760 mm/s) and by planting at three distances (260, 420 and 630 mm) with the working speed (300 mm/s), during travelling and transplanting. The results showed that the required power increased when the travelling speed was fast. One-way ANOVA for the planting distance and Duncan's multiple range test at a significance level of 0.05 were used to analyze the motor power using statistical analysis software. In addition, the required power increased when the planting distances were short at every working condition. The results of this study would provide useful information for the development an electric transplanter.

마이크로서버는 컴퓨팅 서버의 일종으로 2개 이상의 CPU 소켓을 별도의 컴퓨팅 보드에 구현하고, 다수 개의 컴퓨팅 보드를 메인 보드에 집적하는 형태를 지닌다. 클러스터 시스템을 구축하는데 있어서, 마이크로서버를 사용하면 기존의 서버를 여러 대 랙에 장착하는 방법에 비해, 에너지 효율, 상면, 관리 용이성 측면에서 이점이 있다. 또한, 마이크로서버는 컴퓨팅 보드내 CPU 소켓들, 혹은 컴퓨팅 보드끼리 별도의 내부 연결망을 사용할 수 있어서 성능 측면에서도 이점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 마이크로서버는 4개의 CPU 소켓을 지닌 컴퓨팅 보드를 메인보드에 총 16개 장착할 수 있는 서버로 Serial-RapidIO (SRIO)를 내부 연결망으로 사용한다. 마이크로서버의 핵심 성능 이슈인 내부 연결망 측면에서의 성능 비교 분석을 위해, 상용 마이크로서버와 내부 연결망 성능을 비교하고 정량화한다. 시험 결과, 내부 연결망을 활용한 데이터 전송 시 대역폭 측면에서 최대 7배 높은 성능을 보였다. 아울러, 실제 클라우드 컴퓨팅에 사용되는 벤치마크 프로그램 적용 시험에서도 유사 CPU 성능 마이크로서버 대비 60%의 수행시간 감소 효과를 얻었다.

Unfavorable weather and soil conditions reduce rice yield and land and water productivity, aggravating existing encounters of poverty and food insecurity. These conditions are foreseen to worsen with climate change and with the unceasing irrational human practices that progressively debilitate productivity despite global appeals for more food. Our understanding of plant responses to abiotic stresses is advancing and is complex, involving numerous critical processes - each controlled by several genetic factors. Knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in signaling, response and adaptation, and in some cases the genes involved, is advancing. Moreover, the genetic diversity being unveiled within cultivated rice and its wild relatives is providing ample resources for trait and gene discovery, and this is being scouted for rice improvement using modern genomics and molecular tools. Development of stress tolerant varieties is now being fast-tracked through the use of DNA markers and advanced breeding strategies. Large numbers of drought, submergence and salt tolerant varieties were commercialized over recent years in South and Southeast Asia and more recently in Africa. These varieties are making significant changes in less favorable areas, transforming lives of smallholder farmers - progress considered incredulous in the past. The stress tolerant varieties are providing assurance to farmers to invest in better management of their crops and the ability to adjust their cropping systems for even higher productivity and more income, sparking changes analogous to that of the first green revolution, which previously benefited only favorable irrigated and rainfed areas. New breeding tools using markers for multiple stresses made it possible to develop more resilient, higher yielding varieties to replace the aging and obsolete varieties still dominating these areas. Varieties with multiple stress tolerances are now becoming available, providing even better security for farmers and lessening their production risks even in areas affected by complex and overlapping stresses. The progress made in these less favorable areas triggered numerous favorable changes at the national and regional levels in several countries in Asia, including adjusting breeding and dissemination strategies to accelerate outreach and enabling changes at higher policy levels, creating a positive environment for faster progress. Exploiting the potential of these less productive areas for food production is inevitable, to meet the escalating global needs for more food and sustained production systems, at times when national resources are shrinking while demand for food is mounting. However, the success in these areas requires concerted efforts to make use of existing genetic resources for crop improvement and establishing effective evaluation networks, seed production systems, and seed delivery systems to ensure faster outreach and transformation.
