SSTF(Samsung Superconducting Test Facility) has been constructed at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology to test the KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) superconducting magnets and conductors. The SSTF DAC(Data Acquisition and Control) system basically consists of VME I/O modules, host PCs, and Ethernet links. VxWorks is used for the real-time OS of the VME IOC(Input/output Controller). EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) provides a software architecture for the communication between IOCs and host PCs. For the efficient management of measured data, the database management programs through NFS(Network File System) have been developed and successfully operated. In this paper, the current status of the SSTF DAC system, DBMS(DataBase Management System), recent test results, and future plans are presented.

The antioxidative activities and growth inhibitory effects of fermented soymilk (FS) by Bacillus subtilis KC-3 (KCCM 42923) in AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells were studied during fermentation at pH 5.5, 5.25 and 5.0. The pH of B. subtilis KC-3 from Cheonggukjang, decreased from 6.8 to 5.0 during the fermentation. The acidity decreased, but amino and ammonia type nitrogen contents increased significantly as pH decreased. FS at pH 5.0 (FS 5.0) exhibited the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activities among other samples. The hydroxy radical scavenging activity of FS 5.0 was found to be approximately 2.5 times higher than that of the non-fermented soymilk (NFS). The SOD-like activity of FS 5.0 was 32.1% at 1.0 mg/mL and 50.6% at 2.0 mg/mL compared to the NFS of 9.1% and 17.3%, respectively. FS, especially FS 5.0, showed increased anticancer effect in AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells. These results suggest that soymilk fermented by B. subtilis KC-3 has increased antioxidative activities and anticancer effects during fermentation (pH 6.0 to pH 5.0).

Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the quick growth of the world Wide Web (WWW) traffic raises the question whether past LAN packet traces still reflect the current situation or whether they have become obsolete. For this study, several LAN packet traces were obtained by monitoring the LAN of a typical academic environment. The tools for monitoring the network were a stand-alone HP LAN Protocol Analyzer as well as the free-ware software tool tcpdump. Our main focus was placed on acquiring a low-level overview of the LAN traffic. Thus, we could determine what protocols were mainly used and how the packet sizes were distributed. In particular, we were interested in establishing the amount of WWW traffic on the LAN, and what MIME-Types this traffic is subdivided into. Our results indicate that in a typical academic environment such as ours, conventional sources of LAN traffic such as NFS are still predominant, whereas WWW traffic plays a rather marginal role. Furthermore, we verified that a large portion of the network packets contains little or no data at all, while another significant portion of the packets has sizes around the MTU. Consequently, research in the networking field has to direct its focus on issues beyond the WWW.

This paper presents Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) based empirical modelling of torsional strength of RC beams for the first time in literature. The proposed model is based on fuzzy rules. The experimental database used for NF modelling is collected from the literature consisting of 76 RC beam tests. The input variables in the developed rule based on NF model are cross-sectional area of beams, dimensions of closed stirrups, spacing of stirrups, cross-sectional area of one-leg of closed stirrup, yield strength of stirrup and longitudinal reinforcement, steel ratio of stirrups, steel ratio of longitudinal reinforcement and concrete compressive strength. According to the selected variables, the formulated NFs were trained by using 60 of the 76 sample beams. Then, the method was tested with the other 16 sample beams. The accuracy rates were found to be about 96% for total set. The performance of accuracy of proposed NF model is furthermore compared with existing design codes by using the same database and found to be by far more accurate. The use of NF provided an alternative way for estimating the torsional strength of RC beams. The outcomes of this study are quite satisfactory which may serve NF approach to be widely used in further applications in the field of reinforced concrete structures.

NFV is a technology that allows network services to be controlled and managed in software by separating various net work functions (NFs) from hardware devices in dedicated network equipment and implementing them in a high-performance general-purpose server. Therefore, standardized virtualization of network functions is one of the most important factors. However, until the introduction of NFV to provide commercial services, there are many technical issues to be solved such as guaranteeing performance, stability, support for multi-vendor environment, ensuring perfect interoperability, and linking existing virtual and non-virtual resources. In this paper, we propose a method to provide an end-to-end network virtualization service based on OSM R2 in KREONET.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is blown as one of the inherited disorder of peripheral nervous system. Recently, it was found that point mutations in the neurofilament light subunit (NF-L) gene cause CMT. Neurofilaments (NFs) are heteropolymers consist of NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. To assess the relationship between CMT and NF-L mutation in cellular level, we performed phenotypic analysis of the mutant NF-L (E397K) using cultured cell lines. Vimentin-deficient human adrenal carcinoma SW13 (Vim-) cells have a potential to form the intermediate filaments when the cells are expressing both NF-L and NF-M. Our results show that co-expression of wild type NF-L with NF-M showed intermediate filament formation in SW13 (Vim-) cells, while E397K with NF-M did not. This result means that E397K mutant lost its ability to form the intermediate filament in vivo, and further suggests that the E397K mutation is closely related to CMT.

Although there are a lot of file sharing mechanisms in the Internet such as NFS and P2P, FTP is one of the most common mechanisms used until now. In this paper, we propose a more enhanced file sharing mechanism, the Distributed File Server (DFS) method. The most remarkable feature of DFS is that it can be simply adopted in the current Internet FTP services by locating a DFS node between existing FTP servers and clients without changing any existing file transfer environment. To verify the proposed mechanism we implemented a DFS prototype on RedHat 7.2 system and we finally show that it can reduce the file storage problem caused by big-sized multimedia data.

Soft robotics and wearable devices require large motions and flexibility. In this regard, there is a demand for developing stretchable strain sensors which can be attached to the soft robots and wearable devices. In this work, we fabricated stretchable and electrically conductive composite fibers by combining polyurethane (PU) and silver nanoflowers (AgNFs). The PU/AgNF composite fibers showed the change of the resistance as a function of the applied strain, demonstrating the potential for stretchable strain sensors in soft robotics and wearable devices. The mechanical and electrical characteristics of the composite fibers were measured and analyzed to use the composite fibers for stretchable strain sensors.

Purpose: This study examined the patterns of drugs, poisons, and chemicals detected in autopsy samples performed in the Seoul Institute and other regional forensic offices of the National Forensic Service (NFS) between 2014 and 2016. Methods: The investigation carried out using the laboratory information management system. Forensic toxicological identification and quantitation were performed in autopsy samples, including heart blood, peripheral blood, liver, kidney, vitreous humor and etc. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were used to analyze the drugs and poisons. Results: Forensic autopsies were performed on 9,674 cases in this period. Based on the autopsy reports, 699 cases (7.2%) were considered as unnatural deaths caused by fatal intoxication. The number of male deaths was higher than that of female deaths, with the age of 50-59 being the most common age group. Conclusion: Drugs comprised the largest number of deaths due to poison, followed by alcohol, agrochemicals, drug with alcohol, carbon monoxide, and cyanide, in that order. Zolpidem was the most frequently used drug in all drug-related intoxication cases.

In this paper, we introduce the client side cache of distributed file system for enhancing read performance by eliminating the network latency and decreasing the back-end storage burden. This performance enhancement can expand the fields of distributed file system to not only cloud storage service but also high performance storage service. This paper shows that the distributed file system with client side SSD cache can satisfy the requirements of VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) storage. The experimental results show that full-clone is more than 2 times faster and boot time is more than 3 times faster than NFS.
