In this paper, we design a system to monitor environmental data in fish farms in real-time and provide machine learning-based prediction services to prevent damage on fish farms caused by changes in the sea environment. The proposed system will install an IoT device module consisting of sensors that can measure hydrogen concentration, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and water temperature, which can be transferred to Cloud DB using LTE or LoRa communication technology and then monitor the real-time condition through a web or mobile application. In addition, it has a function to prepare for changes within the environment of fish farms by applying machine learning-based prediction technology using collected data.

Some enzymatic characteristics of the aflatoxin degrading factor produced extraceIlularly by Aspergillus awamori var. fumeus were investigated. When aflatoxin B1 was incubated with the culture filtrate of A. awamori var. fumeus. 60% of it was degraded within an hour. The degradation rate decreased with time and there was virtually no degradation after one hour. The apparent Michaelis constant ($K_m$) determined by Lineweaver-Burk plot was $10.2{\mu}M$. The optimum degradation was observed at $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 5. For the degradation, molecular oxygen seemed to be required. The degradation was enhanced by the $Co^{2+}$. but was inhibited by many other ions like $Fe^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$. $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$,$Cu^{2+}$, and $Ba^{2+}$, The presence of either KeN or metyrapone inhibited the reaction while that of $NaI0_4$ cytochrome C or NADPH showed no effect.

We propose a random frequency hopping orthogonal frequency division multiple access (RFH-OFDMA) system based on statistical multiplexing for improving downlink user capacity. User capacity is defined as the maximum number of users served with a given basic data-rate in a cell. We compare the downlink user capacity of the proposed RFH-OFDMA system with that of the conventional frequency hopping OFDMA (FH-OFDMA) systems in the worst case where all users are located at the cell boundary. User capacity is limited by either the number of subcarriers or other-cell interference (OCI). Simulation results show that the proposed RFH-OFDMA system can accommodate 262 users in a 3-sectored cell, while the conventional FH-OFDMA systems can accommodate 51 users, when the user channel activity and the required Eb/I0 are 0.1 and 6 dB, respectively, and all users are assumed to be located at the cell boundary.

A Class B device in LoRaWAN periodically receives a Beacon message from a gateway for synchronization, and it also periodically activates a ping slot to receive data from the server. In this paper, we save energy consumption by controlling the beacon-less operation which is immediately started on the packet loss. In addition, we propose a method that the server inactivates the ping slots of a device according to the amount of messages, which have to be received from the server, to save energy consumption resulting from activated but unused empty slots. The experiment with the 20% of packet loss rate showed that the reduced beacon-less operation and the inactivation of the ping slot decrease the energy consumption by 96.7% and 60% as compared to the existing method.

Due to the fourth industrial revolution called 'fusion and connection', interest in 'high connectivity society' and 'highland society' is increasing, and related objects are not limited to automation and connected cars. The Internet of Things is the main concern of the 4th Industrial Revolution and it is expected to play an important role in establishing the basis of the next generation mobile communication service. Several domestic and foreign companies have been studying various types of LPWANs for the construction of the Internet based on things, and there is Semtech's LoRaWAN technology as representative. LoRaWAN is a long-distance, low-power network designed to manage a large number of devices and sensors, with communications from hundreds to thousands to thousands of devices and sensors. In this paper, we analyze the optimum node capacity of gateway for maximum performance while reducing resource waste in using LoRaWAN.

Two soybean cultivars, ‘Lee’ and ‘Peking’, were used to evaluate the competition and interaction of rhizobium strains PRC205 (R. fredii, fast-grower) and USDA110 (B. japonicum, slow-grower). Strains were inoculated separately on the root parts of a split-root growth system. Both root sides were inoculated simultaneously with four combinations of strain treatment to evaluate the competition of strains. And to evaluate the interaction of strains one side of split-root system was inoculated a week prior to the other side. Nodule mass and dry weight of the plants were measured 3 weeks after treatments. PRC205 showed no effective nodulation and no competing ability with USDA110 on Lee cultivar, however, contrary results on Peking cultivar. Top dry weight of Lee inoculated with PRC205 was much lower than that of any other inoculation treatments, however, in Peking that with PRC205 was higher than that with USDA110. There were no differences in root dry weight among the inoculation treatments. USDA110 used as primary inoculant suppressed nodule mass of opposite side, secondary inoculant, severely in both cultivars. PRC205 showed same tendency as USDA110 in Peking, but revealed little suppression effects on USDA110 used as secondary inoculant in Lee. USDA110 used as primary inoculant in Lee and PRC205 in Peking showed much more dry weight of soybean plants than that of other treatments.

The chemical structure of glycolipid of Selenomonas ruminantium cell wall was to be elucidated. The bacterial cells were treated in hot TCA and the glycolipid fractions were extracted by the solvent $CHCl_3\;:\;CH_3OH$ (1 : 3). The extracted glycolipids fraction was further separated by acetone extraction. The acetone soluble fraction was named as the spot A-compound. The acetone insoluble but ether soluble fraction was named as the spot B-compound. These two compounds were examined for elucidation of their chemical structure. The results were as follows: 1. The IR spectral analysis showed that O-acyl and N-acyl fatty acids were linked to glucosamine moiety in the spot A-compound. However in the spot B-compound in addition to O and N-acyl acids phosphorus was shown to be attached to glucosamine. 2. It was recognized by gas liquid chromatography that spot A compound contained beta-OH $C_{13:0}$ fatty acid in predominance in addition to the fatty acid with beta-OH $C_{9:0}$, whereas the spot B compound was composed of the predominant fatty acid of beta-OH $C_{13:0}$ with small amount of beta-OH $C_{9:0}$. 3. According to the paper chromatographic analysis of hydrazinolysis products of the spot A compound, a compound of a similar Rf value as the chitobiose was recognized, which indicated a structure of two molecules glucosamine condensed. The low Rf value of the hydrazinolysis product of the spot B-compound confirmed the presence of phosphorus attached to glucosamine. 4. The appearance of arabinose resulting from. ninhydrin decomposition of the acid hydrolyzate of the spot A compound indicated that the amino group is attached to $C_2$ of glucosamine. 5. The amount of glucosamine in the N-acetylated spot A compound decreased in half of the original content by the treatment. with $NaBH_4$, indicating that there are two molecules of glucosamines in the spot A compound. The presence of 1, 6-linkage between two molecules of glucosamine was suggested by the Morgan-Elson reaction and confirmed by the periodate decomposition test. 6. By the action of ${\beta}-N-acetyl$ glucosaminidase the N-acetylated spot A compound was completely decomposed into N-acetyl glucosamine, whereas the spot B compound was not. This indicated the spot A compound has a beta-linkage. 7. When phosphodiesterase or phosphomonoesterase acted on $^{32}P-labeled$ spot B compound, $^{32}P$ was not released by phosphodiesterase, but completely released by phosphomonoesterase. This indicated that one phosphorus is linked to glucosamine moiety. 8. The spot A compound is assumed to have the following chemical structure: That is glucosaminyl, ${\beta}-1$, 6-glucosamine to which O-acyl and N-acyl fatty acids are linked, of which the predominant fatty acid is beta-OH $C_{13:0}$ fatty acid in addition to beta-OH $C_{9:0}$ fatty acid 9. The spot B compound is likely to have the linkage of $glucosaminyl-{\beta}-1$, 6-glucosamine to which phosphorus is linked in monoester linkage. Furthermore both O-acyl and N-acyl fatty acids contained beta-OH $C_{13:0}$ fatty acid predominantly in addition to beta-OH $C_{9:0}$ fatty acid.

Robotic Drilling Systems(RDSs) set the standard for the factory automation systems in aerospace manufacturing. With the benefits of cost effective drilling and predictive maintenance, RDSs can provide greater flexibility in the manufacturing process. The system can be easily adopted to manage very complex and time-consuming processes, such as automated fastening hole drilling processes of large aircraft sections, where it would be difficult accomplished by workers following teaching or conventional guided methods. However, in order to build an RDS based on a CAD model, the precise calibration of the Tool Center Point(TCP) must be performed in order to define the relationships between the fastening-hole target and the End Effector(EEF). Based on the kinematics principle, the robot manipulator requires a new method to correct the 3D errors between the CAD model of the reference coordinate system and the actual measurements. The system can be called as a successful system if following conditions can be met; a. seamless integration of the industrial robot controller and the IO Level communication, b. performing pre-defined drilling procedures automatically. This study focuses on implementing a new technology called iGPS into the fastening-hole-drilling process, which is a critical process in aircraft manufacturing. The proposed system exhibits better than 100-micron 3D accuracy under the predefined working space. Based on the proposed EEF fastening-hole machining process, the corresponding processes and programs are developed, and its feasibility is studied.

In the Internet of Things, in which plenty of devices have connection to each other, cryptographically secure Random Number Generators (RNGs) are essential. Particularly, entropy source, which is the only one non-deterministic part in generating random numbers, has to equip with an unpredictable noise source(or more) for the required security strength. This might cause an requirement of additional hardware extracting noise source. Although additional hardware resources has better performance, it is needed to make the best use of existing resources in order to avoid extra costs, such as area, power consumption. In this paper, we suggest an entropy source which uses a multi-threaded program without any additional hardware. As a result, it reduces the difficulty when implementing on lightweight, low-power devices. Additionally, according to NIST's entropy estimation test suite, the suggested entropy source is tested to be secure enough for source of entropy input.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the contraction ratios of the abdominal muscles and the preferential activation ratios of the transversus abdominis muscle (TrA) during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in the hook-lying, sitting, and standing positions. Methods: This study included 30 healthy participants. The thicknesses of the TrA, internal oblique muscle (IO), and external oblique muscle (EO) were measured at rest and during the ADIM in the hook-lying, sitting, and standing positions using B-mode ultrasound imaging. The contraction ratios of these muscles and the preferential activation ratios of the TrA were calculated for each position. Results: The contraction ratio of the TrA and preferential activation ratio of the TrA during the ADIM in the hook-lying position were significantly higher than those in the sitting and standing positions (p < 0.05). The contraction ratio of the TrA during the ADIM in the sitting position was significantly higher than that in the standing position (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The hook-lying position tended to facilitate TrA activity better than the sitting position. Furthermore, the sitting position tended to facilitate TrA activity better than the standing position. These findings suggest that the ADIM in the hook-lying position should be implemented before that in the sitting position and that the ADIM in the sitting position should be implemented before that in the standing position.
