The low crosstalk row-decoder is studied for PoRAM applications. Because polymer-based memories can be more densely integrated than established silicon-based ones, PoRAM is highly sensitive for the crosstalk problem. To overcome the problem and to suggest the suitable decoder for PoRAM, this paper shows the comparison of the row-path characteristics for both the 2-stage dynamic logic decoder and the 2-stage static logic decoder. Moreover, to suppress the Glitch effect which is observed by using the static logic decoder, the Master-Slave(M/S) D-Flip/Flop(D-F/F) is applied as a deglitch. Finally, the improved output result of the 2-stage static logic decoder with the M/S D-F/F is shown..

laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Dimilin, an insect growth regulator which acts to inhibit chitin synthesis, during the larval development of liocarcinus corrugatus Pennant. The larvae was exposed to control (10 ppb acetone sea water and untreated sea water solution) and five concentrations 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 and 25.0 ppb of both TG and WP-25 formulations of Dimilin from the hatching to the megalopal stage, and the effect of Dimilin on development of the larvae were determined. Two formulations (TG and WP-25) had different effect on the different stages in L. corrugatus. and early stage larvae of L. corrugatus were more sensitive to TG than to WP-25. Concentrations of diflubenzuron >5.0 ppb are lethal to L. corrugatus larvae upon chronic exposure. Lethal concentrations are defined here as those in which less than 10% of the larvae survived to the megalopal stage. However, Dimilin (TG and WP-25) showed no significant effects on developmental time of L. corrugatus larvae.

As a diagnostic image of hospitl, the utilization of digital image is steadily increasing. Image coding is indispensable for storing and compressing an enormous amount of diagnostic images economically and effectively. In this paper adaptive two stage vector quantization based on Kohonen's neural network for the compression of cardioangiography among typical angiography of radiographic image sequences is presented and the performance of the coding scheme is compare and gone over. In an attempt to exploit the known characteristics of changes in cardioangiography, relatively large blocks of image are quantized in the first stage and in the next stage the bloks subdivided by the threshold of quantization error are vector quantized employing the neural network of frequency sensitive competitive learning. The scheme is employed because the change produced in cardioangiography is due to such two types of motion as a heart itself and body motion, and a contrast dye material injected. Computer simulation shows that the good reproduction of images can be obtained at a bit rate of 0.78 bits/pixel.

This paper proposes an improved multi-stage timing offset estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multipath fading channel environment. The conventional multi-stage timing offset estimation scheme is very sensitive to the random multipath components. By exploiting the sample standard deviation of the cross-correlation values, the proposed scheme achieves a robustness to the random multipath components. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a higher correct estimation probability and has a better mean square error (MSE) performance than the conventional scheme in multipath fading channels.

Protection of the electrical and electronic equipment against surges in low voltage AC power distribution systems is based on wide applications of surge protective devices(SPDs). Cascade application of SPDs located at the service entrance of a building and near sensitive equipment is intended to ensure the optimal voltage protection level and energy sharing among cascade SPDs. In this paper, when surges impinge at the service entrance of the building of interest, the protection characteristics of two-stage cascade SPD systems were investigated. The influence of the distance between the upstream and downstream SPDs on the voltage protection level and energy sharing of the two-stage cascade SPD systems were analyzed experimentally. It was found that the energy sharing of two-stage cascade SPD systems strongly depends on the distance between the two SPDs and the component of SPD. As the distance between the two SPDs increases, the energy absorbed by the upstream SPD increases while the energy absorbed by the downstream SPD decreases. Consequently, it is desirable to select the upstream and downstream SPDs having the proper energy capability with due consideration of the distance between the two SPDs.

Due to the accelerated global warming phenomenon after industrialization, the frequency of changes in the existing environment and abnormal climate is increasing. Agriculture is an industry that is very sensitive to climate change, and global warming causes problems such as reducing crop yields and changing growing regions. In addition, environmental changes make the growth period of crops irregular, making it difficult for even experienced farmers to easily estimate the growth stage of crops, thereby causing various problems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a CNN model for estimating the growth stage of crops. The proposed model was a model that modified the pooling layer of ResNet, and confirmed the accuracy of higher performance than the growth stage estimation of the ResNet and DenseNet models.

This paper describes the development of a nano-positioning system for nanoscale science and engineering. Conventional positioning systems, which can be expensive and complicated, require the use of laser interferometers or capacitive transducers to measure nanoscale displacements of the stage. In this study, a new self-displacement sensing (SDS) nano-stage was developed using mechanical magnification of its displacement signal. The SDS nano-stage measured the displacement of its movement using a position-sensitive photodiode (PSPD), a laser source, and a hinge-connected rotating mirror plate. A beam from a laser diode was focused onto the middle of the plate with the rotating mirror. The position variation of the reflected beam from the mirror rotation was then monitored by the PSPD. Finally, the PSPD measured the amplified displacement as opposed to the actual movement of the stage via an optical lever mechanism, providing the ability to more precisely control the nanoscale stage. The displacement amplification process was modeled by structural analysis. The simulation results of the amplification ratio showed that the distance variation between the PSPD and the mirror plate as well as the length L of the mirror plate could be used as the basic design parameters for a SDS nano-stage. The PSPD was originally designed for a total travel range of 30 to 60 mm, and the SDS nano-stage amplified that range by a factor of 15 to 25. Based on these results, a SDS nano-stage was fabricated using principle of displacement amplification.

Studies were carried out to investigate the diapause-sensitive stage, the effect of 20-hydroxye- cdysone on diapausing pupae and the changes in pupal proteins of the fitll webworm, HYPha¬ntria cunea Drury. The stage sensitive to diapause-inducing photoperiod lies between 5th and 15th day of the larval development. And the oxygen consumption rate of diapausebound pupae decreased to a mean level of $30mu$l $O_{2}$/g/hr. The 20-hydroxyecdysone was effective in raising the respiratory acivity of 2.5% homogenate of the diapausing fall webworm pupae and in causing a normal adult development of the diapause-bound pupae. The soluble protein content rapidly declined in normally-developing pupae, but in diapause-bound pupae it was more or less static with much higher quantity. And protein bands separated from fat body of diapause¬bound pupae were different from those of nondiapausing pupae.

Sensitivity, expressed in the $96h-LC_{50}$ determined with continuous flow system, was compared for eight developmental stages of Oryzias latipes with butachlor, diazinon and fenitrothion. Significance of the laboratory determined $96h-LC_{50}$ in real field situation was evaluated for butachlor using outdoor model agrosystem. In the laboratory tests, the most sensitive stage was post-larva stage IV(7 days after hatching) with $96h-LC_{50}$ of 0.14, 1.4, and 1.6ppm for butachlor, diazinon and fenitrothion, respectively, whereas the least sensitive stage was early embryo stage(1 day after fertilization), and then the susceptibility was somewhat stable after 21days after hatching. In the model agrosystem test, the highest concentration of 0.53ppm of butachlor in water was obtained at the 2nd day after application. The stages IV and VIII showed mortality of over 50% at 96 hours after application. It is concluded that the conventional use of butachlor in the field would cause significant adverse effect on O. latipes. It is suggested that sensitivity test at the early life stages with fish is an important part of the ecotoxicological assessment of chemicals.

The simplicity and wide application of Greenberg et al. (1971) prompts to propose a set of alternative estimators of population total for multi-character surveys that elicit simultaneous information on many. sensitive study variables. The proposed estimators take into account the already known rough value of the correlation coefficient between Y(the characteristic under study) and p(the measure of size). These estimators are biased, but it is expected that the extent of bias will be smaller, since the proposed estimators are suitable for situations in between those optimum for the usual estimators and the estimators based on multi-characters for no correlation. The relative efficiency of the proposed estimators has been studied under a super population model through empirical study. It has been found through simulation study that a choice of an unrelated variable in the Greenberg et al. (1971) model could be made based on its correlation with the auxiliary variable used at estimation stage in multi-character surveys.
