The purpose of this study is to re-read the film of Dead Poets Society, specially focused on a feminist view. The film hides the strategy of recovering the traditional Patriarchal Society. At the beginning, the film resists the values of traditional society through John Keating. His unorthodox methods of teaching literature smack against the traditions of Welton Academy. Furthermore, he stresses on "Carpe Diem"—Seize the Day, the romantic values of free thinking, creativity, and individuality. The forces opposing Keating's philosophy are personified by Welton's rigid, old headmaster, Mr. Nolan, and the cruel, stubborn parent, Mr. Perry. Keating's romantic values are failed by their powerful, dominating attitudes. Effected by Keating's philosophy, Neil decides to pursue acting rather than medicine. He conflicts with his strict father. Finally frustrated by his authority, Neil commits suicide. And Keating is accused of inciting the boys to restart the Dead Poets Society, and at last he is fired. Keating and Neil are victimized by the Patriarchal society. Even though the film concentrates male characters at the all boys' school, it reveals the male angle of binary oppositions between men and women, subject and object, activity and passivity, presence and absence. In the film's dramatic conclusion, English class is now being temporarily taught by Nolan, who has the boys read from the very Pritchard essay they had ripped out at the start of the film. It symbolizes the triumph of the traditional logocentric society. However, influenced by Keating's unconventional attitudes, ultimately Welton Academy will be changed as it is embodied in its closing scene.

An earthquake occurred on 17 November 2017 in Pohang, South Korea with a strength of 5.4 Mw. This is the second strongest earthquake recorded by local authorities since the equipment was first installed. In order to improve understanding of earthquakes and surface deformation, many studies have been conducted according to these phenomena. In this research, we will estimate the surface deformation using the Okada model equation. The SAR images of three satellites with different wavelengths (ALOS-2, Cosmo SkyMed and Sentinel-1) were used to produce the interferogram pairs. The interferogram is used as a reference for surface deformation changes by using Okada to determine the source of surface deformation that occurs during an earthquake. The Non-linear optimization (Levemberg-Marquadrt algorithm) and Monte Carlo restart was applied to optimize the fault parameter on modeling process. Based on the modeling results of each satellite data, the fault geometry is ~6 km length, ~2 km width and ~5 km depth. The root mean square error values in the surface deformation model results for Sentinel, CSK and ALOS are 0.37 cm, 0.79 cm and 1.47 cm, respectively. Furthermore, the results of this modeling can be used as learning material in understanding about seismic activity to minimize the impacts that arise in the future.

The hybrid wind-solar energy concept has a big influence on the spread of wind and solar power projects in India since it combines the benefits of both industries while also providing extra benefits such as resource sharing such as land, infrastructure, and power evacuation systems. Furthermore, while the hybrid policy may reduce certain barriers to the installation of wind and solar energy in India, there are still some issues that must be resolved rapidly in order to ensure a sustainable installation. According to the study's findings, the installation of wind and solar power plants is significantly influenced by energy policy. The wind-solar hybrid energy strategy will also be crucial in the near future for growing the usage of renewable energy sources. Aside from that, the establishment of Green Energy Open Access (GEOA) and the restart of the trading of Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) would promote the quick deployment of standalone and hybrid renewable power projects throughout the nation, enabling it to reach 500 GW of installed non-fossil energy capacity by 2030.

기존의 질병 관련 연구들은 대부분 유의미하게 변화되는 유전자들을 찾아내고(Differentially Expressed Genes, DEGs), 이들이 연관된 생물학적 패스웨이(biological pathway)를 찾아내는 방향으로 이루어졌다. 더불어 miRNA(microRNA)가 많은 mRNA 의 발현을 조절하며, 실제 면역, 대사 및 세포 사멸을 포함한 여러 필수 생리학적 및 질병에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다고 밝혀지며, 바이오 마커로써의 miRNA 를 찾아내고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되기 시작하였다. 하지만 mRNA 나 miRNA 의 독립적인 연구만으로는 명확한 질병과의 연관성이나 기능을 이해하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 질병 상태에서 유의미하게 변화되는 miRNA 와 이러한 miRNA 에 의해 조절되는 mRNA 를 함께 고려하여 분석함으로써, 실제 질병의 발병 원인이 되는 생물학적 패스웨이나 메커니즘을 밝히고자 하였다. 또한, miRNA 와 mRNA 의 연관성을 찾기 위해, PPI(protein-protein interaction) 네트워크에 기반을 둔 RWR(Random Walk with Restart Algorithm)를 적용하여, 직접적 연관성뿐 아니라, 유전자 간의 숨겨진 간접적인 패스웨이를 고려하여 분석하기 위한 웹 기반 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 mRNA-miRNA 를 함께 고려한 통합 분석을 통해 숨겨진 질병의 메커니즘을 이해하고 치료 방법을 찾아내는 데 크게 공헌할 것이다.

Global prognostic models based on NCOM(NCAR CSM Ocean Model) of NCAR which is generic from Bryan-Cox-Semtner model are established to study the ocean circulation in the neighboring seas of Korean peninsula. The model domain covers areas from $80.6{^\circ}S~88.6{^\circ}N$in meridional direction and the vertical water column is divided into 15 levels taking enhanced grid resolution of $0.3^\circ$ around Korean peninsula. Island option is used for 22 islands to simulate inshore circulation by hole-relaxation method and the restart hydrographic data are taken from NCAR(1998) CSM model that has been run for 300 years. The wind stress data are taken from Choi et al. (2002). Based on the model results, circulation patterns in the NW Pacific and global oceans are investigated. Volume transports calculated at five straits in the neighboring seas of Korean peninsula are compared with the results from Choi et al. (2002) and other observed data.

In digital pathology, an electronic system in the biomedical domain storage of the files is a big constrain and because all the analysis and annotation takes place at every user-end manually, it becomes even harder to manage the data that is being shared inside an enterprise. Therefore, we need such a storage system which is not only big enough to store all the data but also manage it and making communication of that data much easier without losing its true from. A virtual server setup is one of those techniques which can solve this issue. We set a main server which is the main storage for all the virtual machines(that are being used at user-end) and that main server is controlled through a hypervisor so that if we want to make changes in storage overall or the main server in itself, it could be reached remotely from anywhere by just using the server's IP address. The server in our case includes XML-RPC based API which are transmitted between computers using HTTP protocol. JAVA API connects to HTTP/HTTPS protocol through JAVA Runtime Environment and exists on top of other SDK web services for the productivity boost of the running application. To manage the server easily, we use Tkinter library to develop the GUI and pmw magawidgets library which is also utilized through Tkinter. For managing, monitoring and performing operations on virtual machines, we use Python binding to XML-RPC based API. After all these settings, we approach to make the system user friendly by making GUI of the main server. Using that GUI, user can perform administrative functions like restart, suspend or resume a virtual machine. They can also logon to the slave host of the pool in case of emergency and if needed, they can also filter virtual machine by the host. Network monitoring can be performed on multiple virtual machines at same time in order to detect any loss of network connectivity.

In a video-on-Demand(VOD) service, a server has to return to he normal playback quickly at a certain new frame position after interactive operations such as jump or last playback. In this paper, we propose an efficient scheme to write a transmission schedule for a playback restart of a video stream at a new frame position after interactive operations. The proposed scheme is based on convergence characteristics, that is transmission schedules with different playback startup frame position in a video stream meet each other at some frame position. The scheme applies a bandwidth smoothing from a new frame position to a convergence position without considering all remaining frames of a video stream. And then the scheme transmits video dta according to the new schedule from the new frame position to the convergence position, and then transmits the remaining video data according to the reference schedule from the convergence position, and then transmits the remaining video data according to the reference schedule from the convergence position to the last frame position. In this paper, we showed that there existed the convergence position corresponding to nay frame position in a video stream through many experiments based on MPEG-1 bit trace data. With the convergence we reduced the computational overhead of a bandwidth smoothing, which was applied to find a new transmission schedule after interactive operations. Also, storage overhead is greatly reduced by storing pre-calculated schedule information up to the convergence position for each I frame position of a video stream with video data off-line. By saving information on a transmission schedule off-line along with the video data and searching the schedule corresponding to the specified restarting frame position, we expect the possibility of normal playback of a video stream with small tolerable playback startup delay.

A volcano disaster damage prediction system supports decision making for counteracting volcanic disasters by simulating meteorological condition and volcanic eruptions. In this system, a program called Fall3D generates predicted results for the diffusion of ash after a volcanic eruption on the basis of meteorological information. The relevant meteorological information is generated by a weather numerical prediction model known as Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF). In order to reduce the entire processing time without modifying these two simulation programs, pipelining can be used by partly executing Fall3D whenever the hourly (partial) results of WRF are generated. To reduce the processing time, successor programs such as Fall3D require that certain features be suspended until the part of the results that is based on prior calculation is generated by a predecessor. Even though Fall3D does not have a suspend or resume feature, pipelining effect can be produced by using the program's restart feature, which resumes simulation from the previous session. In this study, we suggest a workflow that can control the execution type.

The Moon government, launched in May 2017, regards telecommunication service as part of people's welfare and is trying to save telecommunication costs. However, the direction of policy presented is assessed as symptomatic approach. This is largely attributable to the a partial improvement approach from the framework of the present mobile telecommunication industry. However if we restart from an essential point of view, the result is likely to be much better. The nation's mobile communication costs are not adequate because the government's role was not sufficient. There is a problem with the mobile phone supply chain, the subsidy payment mechanism, and the billing system. Addressing these complex issues requires the establishment of an independent system of handset distribution from telecommunication companies, ban on discriminative subsidies payment, and adoption of volume rate system. Telecommunications Business Act that defines the service charges to normalize the market might be somewhat useful, but the normal application of the Fair Trade Act is more important.

Firm real time transactions on firm real-time database systems arc discarded when they miss their deadlines. as there is no value to completing them after they miss their deadlines. Several approaches that exploit the semantics of firm deadlines to improve the performance of firm real-time database systems have been proposed in the literature. They are based Oil locking or optimistic concurrency controL The performance comparisons of the two approaches differ with svstems load. In this paper. we develop a novel policy termed stop/resume deferred restart policy, and a concurrency control algorithm based on the policy (temled Altcmativc Version Concurrency Contro). When conflicts : due to Pliority) occur our algmithm maintains the immediately restarted VerSlOn as wpll as the stopped version of a transaction in order to use one of the two to meet the firm deadline. At last we show that our policy generates scrializable schedules and show tbat our algorithm performs better than the traditionally used method for wide ranges of the system load for firm deadline transaction.
