Here, we engineered spheroids by using ECM mimicking nano-fragments (NFs) with fibroblasts and investigated their effect on proliferation and cell/ECM interactions. NF incorporation resulted in formation of a stable spheroid, which improved proliferation and viability of cells by assisting oxygen transport confirmed by LOX-1 staining. In addition, hypoxic and apoptotic genes were significantly downregulated in spheroids with PD-NFs. Furthermore, ECM and cell junction proteins were highly expressed. Overall, our findings suggest that incorporation of NFs within spheroids for assembly with various cell types can be an alternative approach for 3D cell culture in many applications.

In this work, we prepared porous WO3 nanofibers (NFs) functionalized by bio-inspired catalytic $Cr_2O_3$ and $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles as highly sensitive and selective $H_2S$ gas sensing layers. Highly porous 3-dimensional (3D) NFs networks decorated by well-dispersed catalyst NPs exhibited superior $H_2S$ gas response ($R_{air}/R_{gas}$ = 46 at 5 ppm) in high humidity environment (95 %RH). In particular, the sensors showed outstanding $H_2S$ selectivity against other interfering analytes (such as acetone, toluene, CO, $H_2$, ethanol). Exhaled breath sensors using $Cr_2O_3$ and $Co_3O_4$ catalysts-loaded $WO_3$ NFs are highly promising for the accurate detection of halitosis.

Since processors are handling inputs and outputs independently on distributed memory computers, different file input/output methods are used. In this paper, we implemented and compared various file I/O methods to show their efficiency on distributed memory parallel computers. The implemented I/O systems are as following: (i) parallel I/O using NFS, (ii) sequential I/O on the host processor and domain decomposition, (iii) MPI-IO. For performance analysis, we used a separated file server and multiple processors on one or two computational servers. The results show the file I/O with NFS for inputs and sequential output with domain composition for outputs are best efficient respectively. The MPI-IO result shows unexpectedly the lowest performance.

Hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) was studied over $Ni_4Cr$ nanofibers(NFs) prepared by electrospinning method and oxidation/reduction heat treatment for alkaline water electrolysis. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties such as average diameter, lattice parameter, HER activity of synthesized $Ni_4Cr$ NFs could be modified by proper electrospinning process condition and reduction temperature. It was shown that $Ni_4Cr$ NFs had average diameter from 151 to 273 nm. Also, it exhibited the overpotential between 0.419 V and 0.526 V at $1mA/cm^2$ and Tafel slope of -334.75 mV to -444.55 mV per decade in 1 M KOH solution. These results indicate that $Ni_4Cr$ NFs with reduction heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ show thinnest diameter and highest HER activity among the other catalysts.

In the current high network-centralized computing and enterprising environment, it is getting essential to transmit data reliably at very high rates. Until now previous client/server model based NFS(Network File System) or AFS(Andrew's Files System) have met the various demands but from now couldn't satisfy those of the today's scalable high-performance computing environment. Not only performance but data sharing service redundancy have risen as a serious problem. In case of NFS, the locking issue and cache cause file system to reboot and make problem when it is used simply as ip-take over for H/A service. In case of AFS, it provides file sharing redundancy but it is not possible until the storage supporting redundancy and equipments are prepared. Lustre is an open source based cluster file system developed to meet both demands. Lustre consists of three types of subsystems : MDS(Meta-Data Server) which offers the meta-data services, OST(Objec Storage Targets) which provide file I/O, and Lustre Clients which interact with OST and MDS. These subsystems with message exchanging and pursuing scalable high-performance file system service. In this paper, we compare the transmission speed of gigabytes file between Lustre and NFS on the basis of concurrent users and also present the high availability of the file system by removing more than one OST in operation.

In contemporary society, though convenience and efficiency of work using information system is growing high, adverse effect problems of malignant code, system hacking, information leak by insiders due to the development of the network are raising their head daily. Because of this, enormous work forces and expenses for the recovery and management of system is needed. The existing system can be divided into two aspects: security solution which surveils and treats virus and malignant codes, and network management solution which observes the system of computer, and practices maintenance and repair such as management, recovery, backup. This treatise applied Active Write Filter mechanism and the technology based on NFS and complemented the maintenance problems of user data of the existing system and designed the system which enables solving problems of intellectual property right such as information protection and illegal work.

In this paper, diskless personal multimedia player(PMP) that can access and decode the remote large multimedia data is implemented via wireless network. To implement this, WLAN based NFS protocol is used to connect PMP to the remote server and text image and movie files are decoded and played using ARM9 cored PXA255 embedded processor and Linux OS. The fuction and performance of the PMP is evaluated and verified using variuos types of contents. Linux kernel elements are configured and built in according to the hardware and software on the target board to install on the target board. The confirming result shows the required functions and performances.

New calibration method for the near-field scanning (NFS) system is presented. The proposed calibration method consisted of a new near-field antenna (NFP) and newly devised patterns as circular patch patterns (CPPs) and meander patterns (MPs). The proposed patterns were used for improving spatial resolutions and simplifying a calibration procedure of the NFP compared to the conventional method defined in the IEC61967-3 and 6. Also, the effect of the length of NFPs on attenuation characteristics was investigated with length of 8mm and 30mm. For them, we designed and fabricated CPPs of diameter (D) = 20, 40, 60, and 100mm and MPs of various widths and spaces. We found the reverse relations between spatial resolutions and heights of measuring points by using simplified calibration procedure. The testing result shows that the spatial resolution of $120{\mu}m$ at height of $200{\mu}m$ was verified without complex correlation algorithms under 8GHz. For manufacturing cost all patterns and the NFP were realized with low-cost fabrication using PCB (FR-4) not by a conventional LTCC process. For verification of chip-level EMC from the results, near-field scanning system (NFSS) having step resolution of Sub-micron scale was produced and by using the proposed NFSS and proposed NFP measurement of chip shows accurately the shape of the resolution of $200{\mu}m$ patterns for securing a high level of chip-level EMC verification.

pH, proximate analysis and functional properties were not significantly affected by reduced salt levels in NFS which contained 75${\sim}$76% moisture, 14${\sim}$15% protein < 0.5% fat in the final products. However, NFSs had differences in color and EM (%) values as compared to RFS, The results of textural test showed that they were not different with reduced salt levels (0.75${\sim}$1.5%) among the RFS and no-fat treatments (P>0.05). NFS containing 1.0% salt had similar sensory color, flavor and saltiness values to those RFS. These results indicated that NFSs was successfully manufactured with 1.0% salt level and these may contribute to the 'healthier meat products' for consumers due to no-fat and low-salt meat products.
