In this report, we present the results of a study on the effects of the particle size on the properties of the Prussian blue (PB) analog $Na_xMn_y[Fe(CN){_6}]$. A novel synthesis method of the $Na_xMn_y[Fe(CN){_6}]$ nano-particles using an organic solvent, formamide, is employed. The size of the PB particles is found to be 100-150 nm for the samples prepared in the formamide solvent, which is much smaller than that of the samples prepared using water only. The broadening of the X-ray diffraction peaks of the nano-sized PB samples is attributed to the lattice disorder and a dramatic reduction in the particle size. The compositions of the samples are confirmed by an energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and the result proves that the samples are actually $Na_xMn_y[Fe(CN){_6}]$ Prussian blue. The UV-vis spectra show a broad intervalence charge-transfer (CT) band in the visible region between 400 and 700 nm, and the absorption decreases abruptly in the green region for the nano-sized PB sample. A divergence between the field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization curves is observed for the nano-sized PB sample at 11 K, indicating that nanoparticles in the sample are single domain superparamagnets with a blocking temperature of 11 K. Our results reveal that the nano-sized PB samples show significantly different optical and magnetic properties than those of the bulk PB samples.

기관 또는 조직은 비즈니스 시스템의 규모가 커지면서 이들과 관련된 서로 다른 시스템에서 다양한 대량의 데이터들이 생성되고 있다. 이와 같이 비즈니스 환경에서 서로 다른 시스템에서 데이터를 보다 스마트하게 처리하여 효율성을 높일 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 이를 위한 가장 기본적인 접근 방법 중 하나는 DataLake와 같이 데이터를 정확하게 설명하고 전체 비즈니스에 대한 가장 중요한 데이터를 나타낼 수 있는 단일 도메인 모델을 만드는 것이다. DataLake의 장점을 구현하기 위해서는 다양하게 요구되어진 기능들을 어떤 구조로, 어떻게 작동 할 것인지에 대한 DataLake의 구성 요소들을 정의하는 게 중요하며, DataLake의 구성 요소들에 의해서 데이터 흐름에 따른 라이프 사이클을 갖게 된다. 또한 데이터 획득 시점에서 DataLake로 유입되는 동안 메타 데이터는 데이터 추적 가능성, 데이터 계보 및 라이프 사이클 전반의 데이터 민감도에 기반 한 보안 측면과 함께 캡처 및 관리되어야 하며, 이러한 이유로 Abyss Storage Cluster 기반의 DataLake Framework를 설계하였다.

Many studies have investigated the smart grid architecture and communication models in the past few years. However, the communication model and architecture for a smart grid still remain unclear. Today's electric power distribution is very complex and maladapted because of the lack of efficient and cost-effective energy generation, distribution, and consumption management systems. A wireless smart grid communication system can play an important role in achieving these goals. In this paper, we describe a smart grid communication architecture in which we merge customers and distributors into a single domain. In the proposed architecture, all the home area networks, neighborhood area networks, and local electrical equipment form a local wireless mesh network (LWMN). Each device or meter can act as a source, router, or relay. The data generated in any node (device/meter) reaches the data collector via other nodes. The data collector transmits this data via the access point of a wide area network (WAN). Finally, data is transferred to the service provider or to the control center of the smart grid. We propose a wireless cooperative communication model for the LWMN.We deploy a limited number of smart relays to improve the performance of the network. A novel relay selection mechanism is also proposed to reduce the relay selection overhead. Simulation results show that our cooperative smart grid (coopSG) communication model improves the end-to-end packet delivery latency, throughput, and energy efficiency over both the Wang et al. and Niyato et al. models.

본 논문에서는 등방성(isotropic) 특성과 작은 분산 오차(low dispersion error)를 갖는 3차원 등방성 시간 영역 유한 차분법(ID-FDTD: Isotropic Dispersion Finite Difference Time Domain) 방법의 stability condition과 광대역 해석 특성에 대해 논의하였다. 3차원 ID-FDTD 방법은 기존의 Yee FDTD 방법의 비등방성 특성과 큰 분산 오차를 개선하기 위해 제안되었다. 기존 연구에서는 3차원 ID-FDTD 방법의 stability condition을 수치적으로 계산하였지만, 이에 대한 검증이 충분히 이뤄지지 않은 상태이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 단일 주파수와 광대역 주파수 신호를 입력원으로 한 모의 실험 환경에서 3차원 ID-FDTD 방법의 stability condition 검증을 수행하였다. 또한 광대역 특성에 대해 3차원 ID-FDTD 방법과 유사한 알고리즘들을 비교 분석해 해보았고, 마지막으로 3D ID-FDTD을 적용하여 대형 크기 구 모델에 대해 radar cross section(RCS) 해석을 수행함으로써, 실질적 해석을 통한 알고리즘 검증 및 분석을 마무리 하였다.

나노구조 교환결합 삼층박막의 열적안정성을 예측하기 위한 최근의 연구진전에 대하여 리뷰한다. 새로운 해석적/수치적 방법을 이용하여 나노구조 교환결합 삼층박막의 에너지 배리어, 나아가서 열적안정성을 예측한다. 이 방법의 특징은 수치적인 방법을 이용하여 얻은 magnetostatic 자기장을 포함하는 해석적인 전체 에너지 방정식을 이용함에 있다. 단자구라는 가정하에, 모든 magnetostatic 자기장은 자성층 전체 부피에 대해 그 값을 평균함으로써 유효 값을 취할 수 있다. 그러나, 평형상태에서는 자구의 구조가 복잡하며, 또한 불안정한 saddle point에서의 자구 구조를 알 수 있는 직접적인 방법이 없기 때문에, saddle point에서의 magnetostatic 자기장 역시 얻을 수 없다. 이러한 어려움은 micromagnetic simulation을 통해 얻을 수 있는 critical 자기장과 saddle point에서의 magnetostatic 자기장을 연결하는 방정식을 사용함으로써 극복되었다. 이 방법은 신뢰성이 확보된 micromagnetic simulation에 기반을 두고 있기 때문에 열적안정성을 정확하게 예측하는 것이 가능하다.

This study is intended to investigate the seismic responses of bridge structures considering site effects. The site effects in the seismic analysis of bridge structures were classified into two parts. At first, the seismic responses of the structures on each "soil profile types" of the code were evaluated in accordance with code-specified method and compared with results of time-history analysis method. And next, as a second stage of the study, the responses of the two different soil with considerably different soil properties, even though they are classified to the same "soil profile types" of the code, were evaluated and compared each other. The first part of study is purposed to evaluate the applicability of code-specified method, while the other part is purposed to find the variance of the seismic responses from the different soil sites in the same soil profile types of the code. For the analysis, two major methods of the code, single-mode spectral anaysis and multi-mode spectral analysis, were used and the time-history analysis method which is expected to give more accurate responses was also used for the comparison purposes. For the time-history analysis, time-domain analysis technique of the lumped-mass model with frequency-independent soil springs and dampers was adopted and artificially generated spectra of the code was used as input motion. As the results of the study, the code specified methods for the seismic responses considering the site effects were verified to give the results in conservative side for the most of the cases. However, for the structures on the site with considerable flexibility, the responses of the bridge girders or deckplates by the code methods both in section forces and horizontal movement responses, may have much smaller values than the actual responses. Therefore, more detailed analysis considering the flexibility of the base soil may be required to have more reasonable results in girder responses.in girder responses.

Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is allosterically activated by cAMP and functions as a global transcription regulator in enteric bacteria. Structural information on CRP in the absence of cAMP (apo-CRP) is essential to fully understand its allosteric behavior. In this study we demonstrated interdomain interactions in apo-CRP, using a comparative thermodynamic approach to the intact protein and its isolated domains, which were prepared either by limited proteolysis or using recombinant DNA. Thermal denaturation of the intact apo-CRP, monitored by differential scanning calorimetry, revealed an apparently single cooperative transition with a slight asymmetry. Combined with circular dichroism and fluorescence analysis, the thermal denaturation of apo-CRP could be interpreted as a coupled process involving two individual transitions, each attributable to a structural domain. When isolated individually, both of the domains exhibited significantly altered thermal behavior, thus pointing to the existence of non-covalent interdomain interactions in the intact apo-CRP. These observations suggest that the allosteric conformational change of CRP upon binding to cAMP is achieved by perturbing or modifying pre-existing interdomain interactions. They also underline the effectiveness of a comparative approach using calorimetric and structural probes for studying the thermodynamics of a protein.

공개된 네트워크 상에서 통신하는 두 참여자를 위한 안전한 인증된 키 동의 프로토콜(AKA)을 고안하는 것은 중요한 연구이다. McCullagh등은 단일 도메인과 두 개의 도메인을 위해 사용될 수 있는 제 3자 키 기탁(escrow)과 제 3자 키기탁이 필요없는 두가지 속성을 지원하는 두 참여자간 식별자 기반 인증된 키동의 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 McCullagh등의 두 개의 도메인을 위한 프토토콜이 가장 공격(masquerading attack)에 취약함으로서 주장하는 보안을 만족하지 않음을 보인다. McCullag등의 기법에 존재하는 가장 공격은 충분한 개체 인증과 무결성 보증의 부족 때문에 발생한다. McCullagh등의 프로토콜 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 인증절차에 서명 원리가 포함된 효율적인 검증가능한 키 동의 프로토콜을 제안한다.

This paper presents a localization system using ceiling images in a large indoor environment. For a system with low cost and complexity, we propose a single camera based system that utilizes ceiling images acquired from a camera installed to point upwards. For reliable operation, we propose a method using hybrid features which include natural landmarks in a natural scene and artificial landmarks observable in an infrared ray domain. Compared with previous works utilizing only infrared based features, our method reduces the required number of artificial features as we exploit both natural and artificial features. In addition, compared with previous works using only natural scene, our method has an advantage in the convergence speed and robustness as an observation of an artificial feature provides a crucial clue for robot pose estimation. In an experiment with challenging situations in a real environment, our method was performed impressively in terms of the robustness and accuracy. To our knowledge, our method is the first ceiling vision based localization method using features from both visible and infrared rays domains. Our system can be easily utilized with a variety of service robot applications in a large indoor environment.

Triclosan, the widely used biocide, specifically targets enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR) in the bacterial fatty acid synthesis system. Although the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida exhibits triclosan resistance, the nature of this resistance has not been elucidated. Here, we aimed to characterize the triclosan resistance of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida causing furunculosis. The fosmid library of triclosan-resistant A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida was constructed to select a fosmid clone showing triclosan resistance. With the fosmid clone showing triclosan resistance, a subsequent secondary library search resulted in the selection of subclone pTSR-1. DNA sequence analysis of pTSR-1 revealed the presence of a chromosomal-borne fabV-encoding ENR homolog. The ENR of A. salmonicida (FabVas) exhibited significant homology with previously known FabV, including the catalytic domain YX₍₈₎K. fabVas introduction into E. coli dramatically increased its resistance to triclosan. Heterologous expression of FabVas might functionally replace the triclosan-sensitive FabI in vivo to confer E. coli with triclosan resistance. A genome-wide search for fabVas homologs revealed the presence of an additional fabV gene (fabVas2) paralog in A. salmonicida strains and the fabVas orthologs from other gram-negative fish pathogens. Both of the potential FabV ENRs expressed similarly with or without triclosan supplement. This is the first report about the presence of two potential FabV ENRs in a single pathogenic bacterium. Our result suggests that triclosan-resistant ENRs are widely distributed in various bacteria in nature, and the wide use of this biocide can spread these triclosan-tolerant ENRs among fish pathogens and other pathogenic bacteria.
