In this paper, wireless internet proxy server clusters are used for the wireless internet because their caching, distillation, and clustering functions are helpful to overcome the limitations and needs of the wireless internet. A wireless Internet proxy server cluster needs a systematic scalability, simple communication structure, cooperative caching, and serving Hot Spot requests. In our former research, we proposed the CD-A structure which can be scalable in a systematic way and has a simple communication structure but it has no cooperative caching. A hash based load balancing can be used to solve the problem, but it can not deal with Hot Spot request problem. In this paper, we proposed a shared storage based wireless internet proxy server cluster which has a systematic scalability, simple communication structure, cooperative caching, and serving Hot Spot requests. The proposed method shares one cache directory and it has advantages: advantages of the existing CD-A structure, cooperative caching, and serving Hot Spot requests. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show high performance improvement of the proposed system compared to the existing systems in Hot Spot requests.

We identified volatile components of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste which had been manufactured with the same traditional Meju with a view to improving the quality of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste. All of the volatile components were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction (SDE) apparatus. To obtain more detailed information, whole volatile components were separated into fractions. The volatile components of the whole and of each fraction were identified by GC-mass and Kovat's retention index. Sixty two and eighty six components were identified in traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste, respectively. Many aroma components of traditional Korean soy sauce differ from those of traditional Korean soybean paste. It was confirmed that many aroma components of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste are completely different from those of Japanese fermented soy sauce (Shoyu) and soybean paste (Miso).

Lightweight face recognition models, as one of the most popular and long-standing topics in the field of computer vision, has achieved vigorous development and has been widely used in many real-world applications due to fewer number of parameters, lower floating-point operations, and smaller model size. However, few surveys reviewed lightweight models and reimplemented these lightweight models by using the same calculating resource and training dataset. In this survey article, we present a comprehensive review about the recent research advances on the end-to-end efficient lightweight face recognition models and reimplement several of the most popular models. To start with, we introduce the overview of face recognition with lightweight models. Then, based on the construction of models, we categorize the lightweight models into: (1) artificially designing lightweight FR models, (2) pruned models to face recognition, (3) efficient automatic neural network architecture design based on neural architecture searching, (4) Knowledge distillation and (5) low-rank decomposition. As an example, we also introduce the SqueezeFaceNet and EfficientFaceNet by pruning SqueezeNet and EfficientNet. Additionally, we reimplement and present a detailed performance comparison of different lightweight models on the nine different test benchmarks. At last, the challenges and future works are provided. There are three main contributions in our survey: firstly, the categorized lightweight models can be conveniently identified so that we can explore new lightweight models for face recognition; secondly, the comprehensive performance comparisons are carried out so that ones can choose models when a state-of-the-art end-to-end face recognition system is deployed on mobile devices; thirdly, the challenges and future trends are stated to inspire our future works.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze the trend of pharmacopuncture in Korean patent in order to establish database for patent technology. Methods : Electronic literature searches for Korean patents related to pharmacopuncture were performed in two electronic databases (Korea Intellectual Property Right Information Service and National Digital Science Library) to June 2017. Patents that were not Korean ones, did not use medicinal herb, only described method of manufacture, or had nothing to do with pharmacopuncture were excluded in this study. The status and application date of patents, Medicinal herb, target diseases, International Patent Classification (IPC), model of experiment and extracting methods were analyzed. Results : A total of 379 patents were retrieved. Based on our inclusion/exclusion criteria, 297 patents were excluded. Of 82 included patents, 27 patents did not include experiments using pharmacopuncture, and 9 patents were invented for treating animals such as pig or calf. In IPC analysis, Bee Venom, Panax (ginseng), Angelica, and Paeoniaceae were used frequently. Musculoskeletal diseases were the most targeted diseases followed by nervous diseases. For extracting, hot water extraction, distillation extraction, and solvent extraction using alcohol, ethanol, or methanol for solvent were commonly used. Conclusions : These data are useful for inventing new patent and extending range of pharmacopuncture in clinical use, however, more systematically analyzed patent studies and pharmacopuncture-related studies for new application on various diseases are needed in further studies.

Equilibrium data of the mixture is essential in the design and operation of separation equipment such as distillation or extraction in chemical processes. These equilibrium data can be obtained through experiments or by calculations using the known binary parameters and the thermodynamic models. Generally, to obtain these parameters, phase equilibrium experimental data such as gas-liquid and liquid-liquid are used. In this study, the excess enthalpy of the mixture was measured using the flow type microcalorimeter which is a simpler method than phase equilibria experiments, and the parameters of various theories were obtained by using this data. In order to investigate the relationship between carbon chain length, enthalpy and binary parameters in the alkane system, excess enthalpies for the n-hexane + alkane (n-pentane, n-heptane, n-octane and n-dodecane) were measured at 298.15 K and the banary interaction parameters of Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC were obtained from the experimental data. In addition, we wanted to obtain basic information on the interaction and association phenomena of the system including electrolyte applicable to various fields by using the excess enthalpy experimental data and the existing theory. First, we investigated the excess enthalpy for the NaOH / Water / Ethanol system as a basic experiment and examined the applicability using the electrolyte-NRTL (eNRTL) theory.

The characteristics of volatile flavor compounds of Fuji apples were compared by different extraction methods for information leading to a natural fragrance development. The volatile flavor components of Fuji apples were extracted using simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE), solvent extraction (SE), and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods and then analyzed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. A total of 66, 32 and 54 components were identified in SDE, SE and SPME extracts, respectively. (E,E)-$\alpha$-Farnesene, hexanol, butanol, 2-methyl butanol, hexyl hexanoate, hexyl 2-methyl butanoate, hexyl butanoate, and butyl hexanoate were the major flavor components in the extracts by different methods, but the composition of volatiles in the extracts were different. Alcohols and hydrocarbons were the major functional groups in SDE and SE extract whereas esters and hydrocarbons were the major functional groups in SPME extracts. SPME was the most suitable method for analysis of fresh volatiles from Fuji apples.

This study revisits the meaning of energy security by examining the oil market supply and demand conditions of petroleum products and refinery capacity of three Northeast Asian countries(Korea, China, Japan). In 2006, 10.6 million bid of excess demand occurred and is expected to be 15~22 million bid by the year 2030 in this regional oil market. Different oil demand is caused mainly by the different demands for various petroleum products based on each country's economic structures. If the demands are ranked according to their petroleum products, Chinese case shows gasoil > gasoline > fuel oil> LPG > naphtha > Kero/jet and Japanese case shows gasoil > gasoline> naphtha> Kero/jet > fuel oil > LPG, while Korean case shows naphtha> gas oil > fuel oil > LPG > Kero/jet > gasoline, respectively. Total CDU(Crude Distillation Unit) capacity of three northeast asian countries also have been examined in this respect. This study points out the importance of the information on oil demand and supply, on petroleum products and refinery capacities of the three Northeast Asian countries to enhance the security of the oil market in this region.

Sarcodon aspratus (Berk.) S. Ito is a wild mushroom commonly consumed in Korea due to its beneficial effects on health. However, only limited information on the volatile and nonvolatile constituents of S. aspratus is available. In the present study, the total concentration of mushroom soluble sugars, including glucose, trehalose, sucrose, and xylose, was found to be 202.5 mg/kg. The total contents of free and essential amino acids were 2,592.1 mg/kg and 1,249.5 mg/kg, respectively; arginine, lysine, methionine, and valine were the major amino acids present. The contents of total 5'-nucleotides and flavor 5'-nucleotides in S. aspratus were 2,510.7 mg/kg and 773.4 mg/kg, respectively. The volatile components of S. aspratus were collected by simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-massspectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 27 volatile compounds were isolated and identified. The most abundant was l-octen-3-ol, which accounted for more than 68% of total volatiles; other important compounds were 2-octen-1-ol, 1-octen-3-one, and 2-octenol. Our results provide preliminary data for the development of S. aspratus as a food material.

With the quantitative growth of the petroleum industry, the pipe facilities that connect each process increased significantly and the corresponding maintenance and repair costs of the pipe facilities increased as well. The diagnosis techniques to check a pipe efficiency while in operation are few in Korea, but in the advanced countries the pipe diagnosis using gramma-ray source was on-going research since 1960's. In this study, field experiments were performed to analyze the reasons for abnormal operation of the pipe connected to a distillation tower, and the degree of abnormality was estimated using a sealed gamma-ray source ($^{137}Cs$). Gamma radiation counts were measured by a detector (NaI) positioned outside the pipe-wall diametrically opposite to the gamma source. The results showed that a gas zone section's distribution pattern was different from the pattern of nearby fluid in a pipe. Th diagnosis technique using a gamma radiation source was proved to be an effective and reliable method, offering the information on the fluid distribution in pipe.
