데이타들에 대한 선인출 효과를 얻기 위하여 캐쉬 메모리의 캐쉬 블록은 다중 워드로 구성된다. 그러나 선인출된 데이타들이 사용되지 않을 경우 캐쉬 메모리가 낭비되고 따라서 캐쉬 실패율이 증가한다. 데이타 배열 병합 방법은 캐쉬 실패 원인의 하나인 캐쉬 충돌 실패를 감소시키기 위하여 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 배열 병합 방법은 유용하지 못한 데이타들을 캐쉬 블록에 선인출하는 현상을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상을 개선한 스트라이드 배열 병합을 제안한다. 모의시험에서 캐쉬 블록이 다중 워드로 구성된 경우 스트라이드 배열 병합은 캐쉬 충돌 실패를 감소시킬 뿐 만 아니라 유용한 데이타 선인출을 증가 시키므로 캐쉬 성능을 향상시킴을 보여준다. 또한 이렇게 향상된 캐쉬 성능은 프로세서 증가에 따른 확장성 있는 프로그램 성능을 나타낸다.Abstract The cache memory is composed of cache lines with multiple words to achieve the effect of data prefetching. However, if the prefetched data are not used, the spaces of the cache memory are wasted and thus the cache miss rate increases. The data merging-arrays method is used for the sake of the reduction of the cache conflict misses. However, the existing merging-arrays method results in the useless data prefetching. In this paper, a stride merging-arrays method is suggested for improving this phenomenon. Simulation results show that when a cache line is composed of multiple words, the stride merging-arrays method increases the cache performance due to not only the reduction of cache conflict misses but also the useful data prefetching. This enhanced cache performance also represents the more scalable performance of parallel applications according to increasing the number of processors.

When a mechanism transfers a motion to an intersected shaft, a cylindrical cam mechanism may be the best choice among the mechanisms. The cylindrical cam with a roller follower provides to transfer the motions to the intersect shafts simply without other connecting equipments of the intersect shafts. Typical example may be a roller-gear-cam mechanism. But the shape of the cam must be exactly defined in order to satisfy the conditions for the prescribed motion of the follower. This paper proposes a new method for the shape design of the cylindrical cams and also a CAD program is developed by using the proposed method. The relative velocity method calculates the relative velocity of the follower versus the cam at a center of roller, and then determines a contact point by using the geometric relationships and the kinematic constraints. The constraint used in the relative velocity method is that the relative velocity must be parallel to a common tangent line at the contact point of two independent bodies, i. e. the cam and the follower. Then, the shape of the cam is defined by the coordinate transformation of the trace of the contact points. Finally, this paper presents an example in order to prove the accuracy of the proposed methods in this paper and the application of the CAD program"CamDesign".

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the difference of Lumbar Lordosis Angle (LLA)between patients with Low Back Pain (LBP) and control groups. Methods: Questionnaires were completed by 40 adults LBP patients seeking physical therapy services and by 40 controls at the department of Physical Therapy, SaeJong Neurosurgical Clinic in Taegu city, South Korea from October 1999 to March 2000. LLA was measured on lateral x-ray films with standing position. The angle between a line parallel to tile top of the first Lumbar (Ll) and the top of the fifth Lumbar (L5) was defined LLA. Results: LLA of 29.88$^{\circ}$ for LBP patients was statistically significant decrease from that of 35.31$^{\circ}$ for controls in the difference of lumbar lordosis (p<0.01). There were statistically significant differences between genders in patients groups. Females(32.22$^{\circ}$) had significantly greater angles than males (27.32$^{\circ}$) (p<0.05), while 36.63$^{\circ}$ for female was also greater than 34.12$^{\circ}$ for male in the controls. No significant difference was found between age. In patient groups, 27.95$^{\circ}$ for below age 40 was a smaller than 32.32$^{\circ}$ for above, however, 35.82$^{\circ}$ for below age 40 was a little greater than 34.27$^{\circ}$ for above in controls. Patients in sitting posture had greater LLA (31.35$^{\circ}$). than those standing (28.93$^{\circ}$), however. values for controls were similar to each other. Conclusions: Results from this study indicate that distinct difference exist among patients and controls and gender, whereas little difference exists in age and working posture.

The Gochang-gun Dongho macro-tide pocket-type beach, located on the southwestern coast of Korea, is investigated in terms of the seasonal variations of surface sediment and sedimentary environment. Surface sediments of 45 sites in four seasons (May 2006-February 2007) are sampled across three survey lines (15 sites in each survey line). The surface sediments of the Dongho Beach are mainly composed of fine to coarse sands, and the ratio of fine sand is the largest. The average of grain size is the coarsest in the summer. The spatial distribution of surface sediments shows a coast-parallel band of fine and medium sands during three seasons of spring, fall, and winter, whereas medium sands dominated in the northern part of the study area during the summer. These results suggest that a tide is more effective than a wave in the surface sediments of the Dongho Beach during the summer.

This paper proposes a dc power regenerating systems, which can generate the excessive dc power from dc bus line to ac supply in substations for traction system The proposed regeneration inverter system for dc traction can be used as both an inverter and an active power filter(APF). As an regeneration inverter mode, it can recycle regenerative energy caused by decelerating tractions and as an active power filter mode, it can compensate for harmonic distortion produced by the rectifier substation. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, the system is designed on the basis of three phase PWM inverters and composed of parallel inverters, output transformers, and an LCL filter.

This paper presents a high-speed sensing and noise cancellation technique for large touch screens, which is called FDCS (Frequency Division Concurrent Sensing). Most conventional touch screen detection methods apply excitation pulses sequentially and analyze the sensing signals sequentially, and so are often unacceptably slow for large touch screens. The proposed technique applies sinusoidal signals of orthogonal frequencies simultaneously to all drive lines, and analyzes the signals from each sense line in frequency domain. Its parallel driving allows high speed detection even for a very large touch screens. It enhances the sensing SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) by introducing a frequency domain noise filtering scheme. We also propose a pre-distortion equalizer, which compensates the drive signals using the inverse transfer function of touch screen panel to further enhance the sensing SNR. Experimental results with a 23" large touch screen show that the proposed technique enhances the frame scan rate by 273% and an SNR by 43dB compared with a conventional scheme.

The layer technique is to produce many memorable scenes by generating layers of new experiences on the existing ones as it is adding the cognitive layers on to the visually seen landscape. Its need is high for places whose landscape itself influences perception, value or expression and which determines the spatial and quality standards. The existing floor plan-based design methods have failed to be useful in generating complex visual experiences. In order to maximize the aesthetical landscape experiences in landscape planning, cognitive layers are needed which complement the input of adequate cognitive elements and the inter-element relationships. Here, layers are utilized to change the arrangement of the landscape elements and coordinate the cognitive flow so that the images could be connected and imagination could occur. A case in point is Anhyun Village in Gochang where physically distinctive layers are additionally set to make a visual experience enriching. The new landscape layers discover the fact that it provides diversity in experiencing the village landscape and forming the sense of beauty and that it is deeply immersed into the daily life of the village. Meanwhile, Guwau Village in Taebaek is an example showing the usefulness of various-layer setting in landscape planning in setting effective circulation planning. That is, the bottom line is the spacing-starting where and making it stay where for a few seconds, and the visual layers. It is also critical to encourage inducing circulation so that layers of the senses stimulating five senses could intervene. Lastly, Mulgeon-ri in Namhae is a case which directly made a parallel of the physical layers of the landscape composition and the cognitive layers of the landscape experience. Artificial landscape planning is mostly about manipulating of visual traits that people feel beautiful, but the layer technique is linked to how to make experiences enriching and renewed.

Purpose: There are many methods for the reconstruction of the facial defect after an excision of a skin cancer; such as skin graft, local flap, free flap, etc... Skin graft has its' limitations; it could remain in different color with in regards of the recipient to donor, with an unfavorable scar. Free flap can lead to big donor site morbidity with long operation time and uncontrolled scar as a disadvantage factor. Compared to the prior, local flap offers several merits; sufficient blood supply, good tissue quality and short operation time. We revised 'V-Y-S flap' for the facial defect, which proved to have favorable outcomes. Methods: Total 7 V-Y-S flaps were performed to patients with skin cancers(six squamous cell carcinoma and one basal cell carcinoma). Two of these flaps were combined with composite grafts, one with full thickness skin graft. Six patients were female and one male. The average diameter of defects after excision was 2.3 cm. The follow-up period was 18 months maximally. Results: We treated seven facial skin cancers with 'V-Y-S flap'. There were no flap necrosis, cancer recurrence and scar contracture as a result. Furthermore, this method also offers a favorable central scar line that is parallel to the nasolabial fold and the nasojugal groove, especially in the nasolabial area and superomedial side of the cheek. With this method, we could cover a maximum diameter of 4cm facial defect. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is suggested that V-Y-S flap is a useful method to cover facial defects after the excision of a skin cancer.

Purpose:Circular skin lesions between 10 and 35 mm in diameter generate problems often. Direct closure of the lesion risks excessive wound tension or wound dehiscence. Skin grafts heal slowly and often remain unsightly. Traditional skin flaps have a limited role. We treated this circular medium-sized skin lesion(10 - 35 mm sized) by reducing opposed multilobed(ROM) flap. Methods: ROM flap involves a series of semicircular lobes extending both cephalic and caudal from the defect. Direction of the semicircular multilobed flap is set parallel to relaxed skin tension line(RSTL) to minimize scar formation. First semicircle is drawn 60% in diameter of the defect. Second semicircles are drawn at the cephalic and caudal aspects of the original semicircles. These semicircles are 60% in diameter of the first semicircle. Additional semicircles are repeatedly drawn until the tension of skin flaps becomes free. ROM flap has a length-to-base ratio of 0.5 resulting in lower theoretical risk of end flap necrosis than a random pattern flap with a large ratio. The technique involves lobes most distant from the primary defect being transposed in turn closer to the defect. Results: The ROM flap reduces skin tension concerns, lowers the risk of flap necrosis and allows for quicker and more aesthetic healing. Results were generally good and major complications, such as dehiscence, infection, or delayed healing, did not occur. Conclusion: ROM flap repair allows the plastic surgeon an additional option when faced with a circular medium-sized skin lesion.

The relationship between the myofibrillar fragmentation and zeugmatin during post-mortem aging was in vestigated by indirect immunofluorescence method using antizeugmatin Antiserum as a measure of meat tenderization. The antizeugmatin antiserum was prepared using bands separated by SDS-PAGE and reacted specifically with zeugmatin, showing no cross-reactivity with the other myofibrillar proteins. By the indirect immunofluorescence method, this antiserum stained the fresh myofibrillar However, the fluorescence intensity decreased with post-mortem time and almost disappeared within 24 hr of storage, in parallel with the myofibrillar fragmentation. It was therefore concluded that zeugmatin can be conveniently used as a measure of meat tenderization during post-mortem aging by immunoflurescence method.
