Flash SSDs have many advantages over the existing hard disks such as energy efficiency, shock resistance, and high I/O throughput. For these reasons, in combination with the emergence of innovative technologies such as 3D-NAND and V-NAND for cheaper cost-per-byte, flash SSDs have been rapidly replacing hard disks in many areas. However, the existing database engines, which have been developed mainly assuming hard disks as the storage, could not fully exploit the characteristics of flash SSDs (e.g. internal parallelism). In this paper, in order to utilize the internal parallelism intrinsic to modern flash SSDs for faster query processing, we implemented a prefetching method using asynchronous input/output as a new functionality for secondary index scans in MySQL InnoDB engine. Compared to the original InnoDB engine, the proposed prefetching-based scan scheme shows three-fold higher performance in the case of 16KB-page sizes, and about 4.2-fold higher performance in the case of 4KB-page sizes.

There are many different surface technologies currently applied for preparation of protein chips. However, it requires innovative surface chemistry for capture proteins to be immobilized on chip surface keeping their conformation and activity intact and their orientation right, while they bind tightly and densely in a given array spot. Proteogen has developed 'ProteoChip BP' coated with novel proprietary linker molecules $(ProLinker^{TM})$ for efficient and robust immobilizations of capture proteins by improving surface properties of molecular captures. It was demonstrated that $ProLinker^{TM}$ gave the best surface performance in preparation of protein microarray chip base plates among others currently available on the market. In particular, the $ProLinker^{TM}-based$ surface chemistry has demonstrated to provide excellent performance in preparation of 'Antibody Chip' for analysis of biomarkers as well as proteome expression profiles. The linker molecule has also shown to be well applicable for development of biosensors and micro-beads as well as protein microarray and nano-array. ProteoChip BP can be used either for preparation of high-density array by using a microarrayer or for preparation of 'Well-on-a-Chip' with low density array, which is better applicable for quantitative analysis of biomarkers or protein-protein interactions. The biomarker assay can be performed either by direct or sandwich methods of fluorescence immunoassay. Application of ProteoChip BP has been well demonstrated by the extensive studies of 1) tumor-marker assays, 2) new drug screening by using 'Integrin Chip' and 3) protein expression profile analysis. Some of experimental results will be presented.

Application of space technology in the field of communication and remote sensing becomes increasingly important in human life. Advancement of communications means shinks the size of our globe and that of remote sensing techniques improves the quality of human well-being. It is a world trent for each country to make its best effort in advancing its capabilities in these fields sometimes independently and other times jointly with other nations. Korea being no exception to this world trend is planning various starategies in application and development of space technologies. However, unfortunately, Korea is a new commer in this field. Statellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC) of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) initiated to aquire satellite technology by sending its graduates abroad in 1989. As a result KITSAT-1 was launched in 1992 and KITSAT- 2 was launched in 1993 and they became Korea's first two satellites in orbits. Academic program including On-the Job-Training for Korean students at the University of Surrey, UK, is also an innovative scheme of mixing education and practical know-how for successful technology transfer, which resulted in a small but very capable and effective satellite experts group in Korea for self-propelled research and development in space activities. In this context, space development strategy should be considered in terms of the following factors; (1). Participation in international space activities as an active member to utilize international organization and to contribute to the peaceful use of space, (2). Development of national defence structure for independent activities in space, (3). Enhancement of manpower utilization for space development and promotion of national pride and (4). Education of youngsters for the extension of intellectual activities into the limitless space. In order to make very costly space development project most efficient, governmental level space development organization directed by the head of nation should be established and should manage all space development programs making full use of its all available resources including the advantage of the university based R&D capability.

The destruction of hazardous chemicals such as chlorinated organic compounds(COCs) and nitroaromatic compounds(NACs) by zero-valent iron powder is one of the latest innovative technologies. In this paper. the rapid dechlorination of chlorinated compounds as well as transformation of nitro functional group to amine functional group in the nitroaromatic compounds using synthesized zero-valent iron powder with nanoscale were studied in anaerobic batch system. Nanoscale iron, characterized by high surface area to mass ratios(31.4$\textrm{m}^2$/g) and high reactivity, could quickly reacts with compounds such as TCE, chloroform, nitrobenzene, nitrotoluene, dinitrobenzene and dinitrotoluene, at concentration of 10mg/L in aqueous solution at room temperature and pressure. In this study, the TCE was dechlorinated to ethane and chloroform to methane and nitro groups in NACs were transformed to amino groups in less than 30min. These results indicated that this chemical method using nanoscale iron powder has the high potential for the remediation of soils and groundwater contaminated with hazardous toxic chemicals including chlorinated organic compounds and nitro aromatic compounds.

With the development of the automobile industry, technologies for parts of an automobile with more convenient functions have progressed, but the manual clutch developed at the first phase of inventing means of transport still remains at the early stage of the automatic transmission despite numerous research and efforts. The traditional automatic transmission is mainly used in small cars and personal RV vehicles that include the slipped clutch disk. However, this research seeks an innovative technology that can be applied to all types of transportation operating the clutch, such as small cars, large vehicles, farm machines and vessels. In order to accurately decide the joint timing of the clutch disk according to the output of engine power that differs depending on driving conditions of vehicles, and to apply the half clutch state which frequently occurs in the manual transmission, the rpm of the engine can be used as the base to decide the joint timing of the clutch disk. This research has developed an electronic clutch module that can transmit the engine power by moving and jointing the clutch disk as much as the engine rpm increases.
