Distributed file systems running on a cluster of inexpensive commodity hardware are being recognized as an effective solution to support the explosive growth of storage demand in large-scale Internet service companies. This paper presents the design and implementation of BeanFS, a distributed file system for large-scale e-mail services. BeanFS is adapted to e-mail services as follows. First, the volume-based replication scheme alleviates the metadata management overhead of the central metadata server in dealing with a very large number of small files. Second, BeanFS employs a light-weighted consistency maintenance protocol tailored to simple access patterns of e-mail message. Third, transient and permanent failures are treated separately and recovering from transient failures is done quickly and has less overhead.

The aim of this study is to compare cariogenic characteristics of fluoride-sensitive Streptococcus mutans [fluoride-sensitive (FS) S. mutans ] and fluoride-resistant Streptococcus mutans [fluoride-resistant (FR) S. mutans] in the presence of sucrose, and to evaluate its effect on cariogenic biofilm formation. S. mutans ATCC 25175 was continuously cultured in trypticase soy broth (TSB) containing NaF (70 ppm) for 40 days to generate FR S. mutans. FS and FR S. mutans were inoculated in TSB with or without 2% sucrose, and optical density and pH were measured every hour. An oral biofilm was formed using saliva bacteria and analyzed through confocal laser scanning microscopy and CFU count. Finally, the expression of glucosyltransferases genes of both S. mutans was investigated through RT-PCR. FR S. mutans exhibited slower growth and lower acidogenicity in the presence of sucrose compared to FS S. mutans . Both cariogenic and single species biofilm formation was lower in the presence of FR S. mutans, along with reduced number of bacteria. FR S. mutans showed significantly low levels of gtfB, gtfC, and gtfD expression compared to FS S. mutans . On the basis of results, FR S. mutans may be less virulent in the induction of dental caries.

Observations were made to validate ocean color algorithms in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea in May 2000. Small scale and meso-scale surveys were conducted for the validation of ocean color products (nLw: normalized water-leaving radiance and chlorophyll concentration). There were discrepancies between SeaWiFS and in situ nLw showing the current aerosol models of standard SeaWiFS processing software are less than adequate (Gordon and Wang, 1994). Applying the standard SeaWiFS in-water algorithm resulted in an overestimation of chlorophyll concentration. This is because that CDOM absorption was higher than the estimated chlorophyll absorption. TSS concentration was also high. Therefore, the study region deviated from Case 1 waters. The source of these materials seems to be the entrainment of coastal water by the Tsushima Warm Current. Study of the bio-optical properties in other season is desirable.

Fiber Brag grating sensors were written in standard Ge-doped telecom optical fiber (Corning SMF-28) using an 800nm femtosecond laser and a phase mask. It were exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of 100 kGy to evaluate the radiation effect. The fs-FBG-2 sensor showed incomplete optical characteristics during irradiation, but the fs-FBG-1 sensor showed excellent radiation resistance with Bragg wavelength shift(BWS) of less than 10pm at a dose of 100 kGy.

Deduplicated filesystem can reduce usage of storage. However, it be able to recover deleted block. We studied sanitization of deduplicated filesystem, LessFS which is based on FUSE(Filesystem in USErspace). First, we show a vulnerability recover deleted data in the deduplicated filesystem. We implement sanitization of deduplicated filesystem considering the part of fingerprint DB with data blocks. It takes 60~70 times compared to without sanitization. Which means access time to fingerprint DB and overhead derived from increase of number of chunk have a critical impact on sanitization time. But in case of more than 65,536 Byte of chunksize, it is faster than normal filesystem without deduplication.

The echo response time has been a concern in the performance of the UNIX systems, a significant tail always appears in the distribution of echo response time, though the average echo response time is less serious. This paper addresses the issue of echo response times in the UNIX systems. We explain how the Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) works and explain why the FSS might cause excessive echo response times and show by analysis how echo response time reacts to key parameters under FSS. Finally, we present a recommended solution that should improve the echo response time drastically. This solution is a refined FSS which will overcome the echo response time problem while retaining the essence of the FSG. This will enhance the UNIX performance and productivity.

In the summer of 1998-2001, a huge flood occurred in the Yangtze River in the eastern China. Low salinity water less than 28 psu from the river was detected around the southwestern part of the Jeju Island, which is located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. We studied how to detect low salinity water from the Yangtze River, that cause a terrible damage to the Korean fisheries. We established a relationships between low salinity at surface, turbid water from the Yangtze River and digital ocean color remotely sensed data of SeaWiFS sensor in the northern East China Sea, in the summer of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The salinity charts of the northern East China Sea were created by regeneration of the satellite ocean color data using the empirical formula from the relationships between in situ low salinity, in situ measured turbid water with transparency and SeaWiFS ocean color data (normalized water leaving radiance of 490 nm/555 nm).

Purpose: Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common type of seizure in children between 6 months to 5 years of age. A family history of febrile seizures can increase the risk a child will have a FS. Yet, prevalence of FS regarding external environment has not been clearly proved. This study attempts to determine the association between prevalence of FS and weather. Methods: This study included medical records from the Korea National Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Data were collected from 29,240 children, born after 2004, diagnosed with FS who were admitted to one of the hospitals in Seoul, Korea, between January 2009 and December 2013. During the corresponding time period, data from the Korea Meteorological Administration on daily monitoring of four meteorological factors (sea-level pressure, amount of precipitation, humidity and temperature) were collected. The relationships of FS prevalence and each meteorological factor will be designed using Poisson generalized additive model (GAM). Also, the contributory effect of viral infections on FS prevalence and weather will be discussed. Results: The amount of precipitation was divided into two groups for comparison: one with less than 5 mm and the other with equal to or more than 5 mm. As a result of Poisson GAM, higher prevalence of FS showed a correlation with smaller amount of precipitation. Smoothing function was used to classify the relationships between three variables (sea-level pressure, humidity, and temperature) and prevalence of FS. FS prevalence was correlated with lower sea-level pressure and lower humidity. FS prevalence was high in two temperature ranges (-7 to $-1^{\circ}C$ and $18-21^{\circ}C$). Conclusion: Low sea-level pressure, small amount of precipitation, and low relative air humidity may increase FS prevalence risk.

In spite of extensive testing of the individual shear wall and the coupling beam (CB), numerical and experimental researches on the seismic behavior of CSW are insufficient. As far as we know, no previous research has investigated the affectations of position of CB regarding to the slab level (SL). So, the investigation aims to enhance an overarching framework to examine the consequence of connection positions between CB and SL. And, three cases have been created. One is composed of the floor slab (FS) at the top of the CB (FSTCB); the second is created with the FS within the panel depth (FSWCB), and the third is employed with the FS at the bottom of the CB (FSLCB). And, FEA is used to demonstrate the consequences of various CB positions with regard to the SL. Furthermore, the main measurements of structure response that have been investigated are deformation, shear, and moment in a coupled beam. Additionally, wall elements are used to simulate CB. In addition, ABAQUS software was used to figure out the strain distribution, shear stress for four stories to further understand the implications of slab position cases on the coupled beam rigidity. Overall, the findings show that the position of the rigid linkage among the CB and the FS can affect the behavior of the structures under seismic loads. For all structural heights (4, 8, 12 stories), the straining actions in FSWCB and FSLCB were less than those in FSTCB. And, the increases in displacement time history response for FSWCB are around 16.1-81.8%, 31.4-34.7%, and 17.5% of FSTCB.

A portable torque and power measurement system for small farm equipment based on instrumented pulley was developed. The prototype pulley was machined from mild steel, with spokes serving as strain beams. Strain gages mounted to the spokes sense the bending strain due to the torque and convert this into millivolt output. Calibration results showed the torque-millivolt relationship was linear, while hysterisis and error were less than 1% fs. For power measurements, an additional tachmeter with dcvoltage output is necessary. With the tachometer , error in power measurement was +-1.03W or 0.2% fs. Field tests showed that for ease of installation, no machine alteration needed and safety, this system had advantage over other methods for small farm equipment.
