Channel characteristics-based secret key generation is an effective physical-layer security method. The issues of how to remove the effect of random noise and to balance the key generation rate (KGR) and the bit mismatch rate (BMR) are needed to be addressed. In this paper, to reduce the effect of random noise and extract more secret bits, a new quantization scheme with high key generation rate and low bit mismatch rate is proposed. In our proposed scheme, we try to use all measurements and correct the differences caused by noise at the boundary regions instead of simply dropping them. We evaluate and discuss the improvements of our proposed scheme. The results show that our proposed scheme achieves lower bit mismatch rate as well as remaining high key generation rate.

A database application, namely MushBase, has been built based on Microsoft Access in order to store and manage different kinds of data about mushroom biological information of species, strains and their physiological characteristics such as geometries and growth condition(s). In addition, it is also designed to store another group of information that is experimental data about mushroom classification by Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). These two groups of information are stored and managed in the way so that it is convenient to retrieve each group of data and to cross-refer between them as well.

Using the abundant available information about the tomato genome, we developed DNA markers that are linked to disease resistant loci and performed marker-assisted selection (MAS) to construct multi-disease resistant lines and varieties. Resistance markers of Ty-1, T2, and I2, which are linked to disease resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), and Fusarium wilt, respectively, were developed in a co-dominant fashion. DNA sequences near the resistance loci of TYLCV, ToMV, and Fusarium wilt were used for primer design. Reported candidate markers for powdery mildew-resistance were screened and the 32.5Cla marker was selected. All four markers (Ty-1, T2, I2, and 32.5Cla) were converted to cleavage amplification polymorphisms (CAPS) markers. Then, the CAPS markers were applied to 96 tomato lines to determine the phenetic relationships among the lines. This information yielded clusters of breeding lines illustrating the distribution of resistant and susceptible characters among lines. These data were utilized further in a MAS program for several generations, and a total of ten varieties and ten inbred lines were constructed. Among four traits, three were introduced to develop varieties and breeding lines through the MAS program; several cultivars possessed up to seven disease resistant traits. These resistant trait-related markers that were developed for the tomato MAS program could be used to select early stage seedlings, saving time and cost, and to construct multi-disease resistant lines and varieties.

Data imbalance refers to a phenomenon in which the number of data in one category is too large or too small compared to another category. Due to this, it has been raised as a major factor that deteriorates performance in machine learning that utilizes classification algorithms. In order to solve the data imbalance problem, various ovrsampling methods for amplifying prime number distribution data have been proposed. Among them, SMOTE is the most representative method. In order to maximize the amplification effect of minority distribution data, various methods have emerged that remove noise included in data (SMOTE-IPF) or enhance only border lines (Borderline SMOTE). This paper proposes a method to ultimately improve classification performance by improving the processing method for anomaly data in the traditional SMOTE method that amplifies minority classification data. The proposed method consistently presented relatively high classification performance compared to the existing methods through experiments.

한국의 전통국악기 가운데 대중들에게 가장 친근한 악기 가운데 사물놀이 악기이다. 징, 장구, 꽹과리, 북, 이 사물 악기 가운데도 특히 징악기는 소리가 웅장하고 부드러우며 감싸주는 멋이 있다. 징의 구조는 직경 $39\~40cm$인 둥근 원판과 림(Rim:전두리)으로 되어 있다. 재질은 동과 주석을 78:22의 비율로 합금한 유기(놋쇠) 제품으로 만들 때는 방짜유기로 만든다. 본 논문에서는 우선 파동방정식에 의해서 수리적으로 징의 기본 주파수를 구하고, 만곡 면으로 된 원판을 지지하고 있는 징의 Rim 두께와 깊이에 따라 징악기 소리의 세기를 나타내는 진폭과 소리 여운의 지속 시간을 변동 시키는 관계를 본 연구 논문에서 밝히고자 한다.

The spatiotemporal mitotic processes are controlled qualitatively by phosphorylation and qualitatively by ubiquitination. Although the SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein (SCF) complex and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) mainly mediate ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of mitotic regulators, the E3 ligase for a large portion of mitotic proteins has yet to be identified. Here, we report c-Cbl as an E3 ligase that degrades DDA3, a protein involved in spindle dynamics. Depletion of c-Cbl led to increased DDA3 protein levels, resulting in increased recruitment of Kif2a to the mitotic spindle, a concomitant reduction in spindle formation, and chromosome alignment defects. Furthermore, c-Cbl depletion induced centrosome over-duplication and centriole amplification. Therefore, we concluded that c-Cbl controls spindle dynamics and centriole duplication through its E3 ligase activity against DDA3.

This paper presents precise measurement system for the lifetime of OLED. The proposed system collects the data for using voltage drop across the OLED Panels, and then the computer program makes an analysis of the data. In this process of measurement, the current across OLED material must be amplified because the current is very small. However, amplifying the current causes the amplification of noise. Therefore, the proposed system measures the current using an algorithm which minimizes the noise.

This work evaluates the influence of negative stiffness on the performances of various vehicle suspension systems, and proposes a re-centering negative stiffness device (NSD). The re-centering NSD consists of a passive magnetic negative stiffness spring and a positioning shaft with a re-centering function. The former produces negative stiffness control forces, and the latter prevents the amplification of static spring deflection. The numerical simulations reveal that negative stiffness can improve the ride comfort of a vehicle without affecting its road holding abilities for either passive or semi-active suspension systems. In general, the improvement degree of ride comfort increases as negative stiffness increases. For passive suspension system, negative stiffness brings in negative stiffness feature in the control forces, which is helpful for the ride comfort of a vehicle. For semi-active suspensions, negative stiffness can alleviate the impact of clipped damping in semi-active dampers, and thus the ride comfort of a vehicle can be improved.

In this paper, we developed a multichannel acupuncture point balance measurement system that measures skin resistances at various acupuncture points to evaluate the balancing state of the meridian. The system consists of 16 channel resistance-voltage converter, signal processing part for signal amplification and filtering, A/D conversion part, micro-controller part, and data processing part. Compared to the previously developed 1 channel or 4 channel systems, it is found that the 16 channel system can measure the skin resistances of 16 acupuncture points, simultaneously, providing various clinical information such as balance and variation of the resistance value.

We present a STT-MRAM read-circuit which mitigates the performance degradation caused by offsets from device mismatches. In the circuit, a single current source supplies read-current to both the data and the reference cells sequentially eliminating potential mismatches. Furthermore, an offset-free pre-amplification using a capacitor storing the mismatch information is employed to lessen the effect of the comparator offset. The proposed circuit was implemented using a 130-nm CMOS technology and Monte Carlo simulations of the circuit demonstrate its effectiveness in suppressing the effect of device mismatch.
