The DTC of voltage source inverter-fed PMSMs is based on hysteresis controllers of torque and flux. It has several advantages, namely, elimination of the mandatory rotor position sensor, less computation time, and rapid torque response. In addition, the stator resistance is the only parameter, which should be known, and no reference frame transformation is required. The DTC theory has achieved great success in the control of induction motors. However, for the control of PMSM drives proposed a few years ago, there are many basic theoretical problems that must be clarified. This paper describes an investigation into the effect of the zero voltage space vectors in the DTC system and points out that if using it rationally, not only can the DTC of the PMSM drive be driven successfully, but torque and flux ripples are reduced and overall performance of the system is improved. The implementation of DTC in PMSM drives is described and the switching tables specific for an interior PMSM are derived. The conventional eight voltage-vector switching table, which is namely used in the DTC of induction motors does not seem to regulate the torque and stator flux in a PMSM well when the motor operates at low speed. Modelling and simulation studies have both revealed that a six voltage-vector switching table is more appropriate for PMSM drives at low speed. In addition, the sources of difficulties, namely, the error in the detection of the initial rotor position, the variation of stator resistance, and the offsets in measurements are analysed and discussed.

Detection of underling proteinopathies is becoming increasingly important across neurodegenerative conditions due to upcoming disease intervention trials. In this review, we explored how temporal lobe changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can potentially predict underlying TDP-43 pathology subtypes in FTD. To date, emphasis has been given to frontal lobe changes in the study of the cognitive and behavioural impairments in both syndromes but an increasing number of pathological, imaging and neuropsychological studies suggest how temporal lobe changes could critically affect the cognition and behaviour of these conditions. In this current article, we reviewed pathological, imaging as well as clinical/neuropsychological findings of temporal involvement in the ALS-FTD continuum, how they relate to temporal lobe changes and the underlying TDP-43 pathology in FTD. Findings across studies show that TDP-43 pathology occurs and coincides in many structures in ALS and FTD, but especially in the temporal lobes. In particular, anterior and medial temporal lobes atrophy is consistently found in ALS and FTD. In addition, memory and language impairment as well as emotional and Theory of Mind processing deficits that are characteristics of the two diseases are highly correlated to temporal lobe dysfunction. We conclude by showing that temporal lobe changes due to TDP-43 type B might be particular predictive of TDP-43 type B pathology in behavioural variant FTD, which clearly needs to be investigated further in the future.

We present the design specifications and the performance estimation of the FUVS (Far Ultraviolet Spectrograph) proposed for the observations of aurora, day/night airglow and astronomical objects on small satelltes in the spectral range of $900~1750AA$. The design of FUVS is carried out with the full consideration of optical characteristics of the grating and the aspheric substrate. Two independent methods, ray-tracing and the wave front aberration theory, are employed to estimate the performance of the optical design and it is verified that both procedures yield the resolution of $2~5AA$ in the entire spectral range. MDF (Minimum Detectable Flux) is also estimated using the known characteristics of the reflecting material and MCP, to study the feasibility of detection for faint emission lines from the hot interstellar plasmas. The results give that the observations from 1 day to 1 week, depending on the line intensity, can detect such faint emission lines from diffuse interstellar plasmas.

As the range of sensor network's applicability is getting wider, it creates new application areas which is required real-time operation, such as military and detection of radioactivity. However, existing researches are focused on effective management for resources, existing sensor network operating system cannot support to real-time areas. In this paper, we propose the ${\mu}TMO$ model which is lightweight real-time distributed object model TMO. We design the real-time sensor network operation system ${\mu}TMO-NanoQ+$ which is based on ETRI's sensor network operation system Nano-Q+. We modify the Nano-Q+'s timer module to support high resolution and apply Context Switch Threshold, Power Aware scheduling techniques to realize lightweight scheduler which is based on EDF. We also implement channel based communication way ITC-Channel and periodic thread management module WTMT.

The microcantilever (MCL) sensor is one of the most promising platforms for next-generation label-free biosensing applications. It outperforms conventional label-free detection methods in terms of portability and parallelization. In this paper, an overview of recent advances in our understanding of the coupling between biomolecular interactions and MCL responses is given. A dual compact optical MCL sensing platform was built to enable biosensing experiments both in gas-phase environments and in solutions. The thermal bimorph effect was found to be an effective nanomanipulator for the MCL platform calibration. The study of the alkanethiol self-assembly monolayer (SAM) chain length effect revealed that 1-octanethiol ($C_8H_{17}SH$) induced a larger deflection than that from 1-dodecanethiol ($C_{12}H_{25}SH$) in solutions. Using the clinically relevant biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP), we revealed that the analytical sensitivity of the MCL reached a diagnostic level of $1{\sim}500{\mu}g/ml$ within a 7% coefficient of variation. Using grazing incident x-ray diffractometer (GIXRD) analysis, we found that the gold surface was dominated by the (111) crystalline plane. Moreover, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, we confirmed that the Au-S covalent bonds occurred in SAM adsorption whereas CRP molecular bindings occurred in protein analysis. First principles density functional theory (DFT) simulations were also used to examine biomolecular adsorption mechanisms. Multiscale modeling was then developed to connect the interactions at the molecular level with the MCL mechanical response. The alkanethiol SAM chain length effect in air was successfully predicted using the multiscale scheme.

Detection of gamma ray can be available using optical fiber scintillator under radiation environment. It monitors the transfer energies of these ions by photodiodes and then convertes into currents. The module which converts those currents into voltages and processes signals is named fine current module TIA, and it is essentially important to convert currents into voltages with high linearity. We have studied and developed the TIA, improving converting linearity and minimizing noises and off-set voltages. Also, we have made efforts to develop precise and accurate current module in compliance with concerned requirements. First of all, we established developing theory, developed related circuits, and then made the current module. And, we confirmed its stability and linearity to be more excellent than any other equipment proposed by other references. We tested the developed fine current modules in the real radiation environment under authorized supervising, confirmed them to meet related requirements.

Races in programs with OpenMP directives must be detected for debugging, because they may cause unexpected result by non-deterministic executions. But, Thread Checker of Intel corporation, a well-known existing tool for detecting the races, is not practical because this tool does not verify the existence of races and is known that the cost for race detection is too big. This paper presents a web-based tool which verify the existence of races with an optimal functionality and performance using the results from the property analysis of OpenMP program as well as the user requirements. Our tool is proved to be practical in the aspect of functionality and performance by experiments using synthetic programs, because the suggested tool can verify the existence of race and shows O(n) as the ratio of time consumption while Thread Checker can not verify the existence of race and shows $O(n^2)$ as the ratio, where n is the number of total accesses.

There are several methods for malware analyses. However, it is difficult to detect malware exactly with existing detection methods. Especially, malware with strong anti-debugging facilities can detect analyzer and disturb their analyses. Furthermore, it takes too much time to analyze malware. In order to resolve these problems of current analyzers, more improved analysis scheme is required. This paper suggests a dynamic binary instrumentation which supports the instruction analysis and the memory access tracing. Additionally, by supporting the API call tracing with the DLL loading analysis, our system establishes the foundation for analyzing various executable codes. Based on Xen, full-virtualization environment is built using Intel's VT technology. Windows XP can be used as a guest. We analyze representative malware using several functions of our system, and show the accuracy and efficiency enhancements in binary analyses capability of our system.

순서적 동기화 및 내포 병렬성을 포함하는 공유메모리 병렬 프로그램에서의 경합(race)은 프로그램 수행에서 원하지 않은 비결정성(nondeterminism)을 야기할 수 있기 때문에 반드시 탐지되어져야 한다. 특히 프로그램 수행에서 최초경합(first race)을 탐지하는 것은 중요한데, 그 이유는 이 경합을 제거하면 다른 경합이 나타나지 않을 수도 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 결정적 공유메모리 병렬프로그램을 위한 2단계 수행중 (two-pass on-the-fly) 최초경합 탐지 기법을 제시하며, 이것은 공유메모리 병렬 프로그램의 특정 수행에서 "최초로 발생되는" 경합들을 탐지하는 기법이다. 그리고 HPF 컴파일러를 이용하여 본 탐지 프로토콜을 공인된 벤치마크 프로그램에 적용하여, 병렬 프로그램 디버깅 시 고려하여야 할 파라미터들에 대한 실험으로부터 본 기법의 효율성을 보였다.Abstract Detecting races is important in debugging shared-memory parallel programs which have ordered synchronization and nested parallelism, because the races result in unintended non- deterministic executions of the programs. The first races are important in debugging, because the removal of such races may make other races disappear. It is even possible that all races reported would disappear once the first races are removed. This paper presents a new two-pass on-the-fly algorithm to detect the first races in such parallel programs. The algorithm reported in this paper is an on-the-fly algorithm that detects the races that "occur first" in a particular execution of shared-memory parallel programs. The experiment has accomplished, where two certified benchmark programs which can be executed under High Performance Fortran environments to get some parameters which improve debugging performance with our algorithm. with our algorithm.

The application areas of embedded real-time systems are very wide and so are the requirements for real-time processing and reliability of the systems. To develop embedded real-time systems effectively with its real-time and reliability properties guaranteed, an appropriate real-time model is needed. Recently, the research on real-time object-oriented model is active, which graft the concept of object-orientation on real-time systems modeling and development. In this paper, we propose dRTO (dependable Real-Time Object) model, with 5 primitive classes. These allow designers to effectively model the characteristics of real-time systems, i.e., object-orientation, real-time-ness and dependability. The dRTO model has three main features. First, it is able to model and implement the timing constraints imposed on real-time objects as well as interactions among the objects. Second, hardware and software components (including kernel) of embedded systems can be modeled in one frame. Third, it is able to represent fault detection and recovery mechanisms explicitly.
