Thermal generation by power dissipation of the highly integrated System on Chip (SoC) device is irregularly distributed on the intra chip. It leads to thermal increment of the each thermally different region and effects on the propagation timing; consequently, the timing violation occurs due to the misestimated number of buffers. In this paper, the timing budgeting methodology considering thermal variation which contains buffer insertion with wire segmentation is proposed. Thermal aware LUT modeling for cell intrinsic delay is also proposed. Simulation results show the reduction of the worst delay after implementing thermal aware buffer insertion using by proposed wire segmentation up to 33% in contrast to the original buffer insertion. The error rates are measured by SPICE simulation results.

Even though state-of-the-art general circulation models is improved step by step, the seasonal predictability of the East Asian summer monsoon still remains poor. In contrast, the seasonal predictability of western North Pacific and Indian monsoon region using dynamic models is relatively high. This study builds canonical correlation analysis model for seasonal prediction using wind fields over western North Pacific and Indian Ocean from the Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5 (GloSea5), and then assesses the predictability of so-called hybrid model. In addition, we suggest improvement method for forecast skill by introducing the lagged ensemble technique.

This paper presents a dehazing method based on a fuzzy membership function and variational method. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: i) estimate transmission through a pixel-based operation using a fuzzy membership function, ii) refine the transmission using an L1-norm-based regularization method, and iii) obtain the result of haze removal based on a hazy image formation model using the refined transmission. In order to prevent color distortion of the sky region seen in conventional methods, we use a trapezoid-type fuzzy membership function. The proposed method acquires high-quality images without halo artifacts and loss of color contrast.

The paper is on the record of radiography the patients with SIEMENS ANGIOSTAR/POLYTRON S PLUS angiosystem with DSA system in the Chonbuk National University Hospital from October 1993 to June 1994. The results are as follow : 1. Among the total No, 836 case of utilization, angiography are 316(37.8 %), interventional radiography are 256(34.2 %), and dacryocystography and sialography are 168(20/1 %). Therefore non-angiogrlphy procedure are incerasing. 2. The aomunt of contrast material used are half as much as conventional angiovascular system. 3. The amount of film consumed are $10{\sim}15%$ of that of conventional angio vascular system and reduction of procedure time are $40{\sim}50%$. 4. Admitting that dignostic utility is in the utilization by examination region, there should be technological study which deal with fine vessel and motion artifact problem.

Galactic fly-by interactions are believed to be far more frequent than direct mergers, acting as hidden drivers of galaxy evolution. We perform a tree-particle-mesh code GOTPM, and investigate the statistical properties of the fly-by interactions as functions of halo masses and ambient environments. Based on the total energy of the two halos of interest, impulsive fly-by pairs are identified from eventual merger candidates. We find three obvious results as follows: (1) Halos in the high-dense environment experience more frequent mergers and fly-by encounters than those in the low-dense region; (2) In the massive halos, both merger and fly-by fractions evolve more dramatically with time than those in dwarfs; and (3) The fly-by fraction decreases as approaching the present epoch, in contrast to the increase of the merger fraction.

Existence of a binding site for choline esters with an acyl chain of various sizes was examined by comparing the inhibitory potency of the respective compound. In contrast to acetylcholine, which showed a pure competitive pattern of inhibition, choline esters with an acyl chain of a long size ($C{\geq}5$) expressed a mixed type of inhibition. Binding of choline esters containing a long chain ($C_7-C_{12}$) to the hydrophobic region in the active site is deduced from a linear relationship between the $K_{iE}$ value and the size of acyl moiety, and a good hydrophobicity relationship. In addition, the non-competitive component in the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase seems to be due to the interaction of choline esters with both the hydrophobic site and the trimethylammonium-binding site in the active center of the acetylated acetylcholinesterase.

In eukaryotes, small RNAs play important roles in both gene regulation and resistance to viral infection. Argonaute proteins have been identified as a key component of the effector complexes of various RNA-silencing pathways, but the mechanistic roles of Argonaute proteins in these pathways are not clearly understood. To address this question, we performed single-molecule fluorescence experiments using an RNA-induced silencing complex (core-RISC) composed of a small RNA and human Argonaute 2. We found that target binding of core-RISC starts at the seed region of the guide RNA. After target binding, four distinct reactions followed: target cleavage, transient binding, stable binding, and Argonaute unloading. Target cleavage required extensive sequence complementarity and accelerated core-RISC dissociation for recycling. In contrast, the stable binding of core-RISC to target RNAs required seed-match only, suggesting a potential explanation for the seed-match rule of microRNA (miRNA) target selection.

With development of high display quality of TV and Monitor, personal audio system is arising great interest. In this study, we applied a method to make a good bright zone around the user and dark zone to other region by maximizing the ratio of sound energy between the bright and dark zone. We have attempted to use a line speaker array system to localize the sound in our listening zone. It depends on the size of the zone and array parameters, for example, array size, speaker spacing, wave length of sound.

The synthesis and secretion of human angiogenin in E. coli by the natural leader sequence has been studied. We constructed a recombinant plasmid containing human angiogenin cDNA which encompassed all the coding region including leader sequence required for secretion. The recombinant plasmid was introduced into a suitable E. coli host. The angiogenin was detected in the culture medium and periplasm upon the induction of gene expression. The molecular weight of the secreted angiogenin was identical to that of authentic angiogenin purfied from human plasma when estimated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. showing that the natural leader sequence was recognized and processed by the secretion machinery of E. coli. The angiogenin concentration in the culture medium reached a maximum within 2 h when expressed at $37^{\circ}C$ with 0.02~2 mM IPTG. In contrast, the expression level increased gradually over time up to 11 h at $23^{\circ}C$ with 0.002~2 mM IPTG and at $37^{\circ}C$ with 0.002 mM IPTG.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics to improve viewing angle of the in-plain switching (IPS) liquid crystal display using an compensation film. The IPS mode shows relatively large light leakage and color shift in diagonal directions in a dark state. To solve this problem, we have compensated the low contrast ratio in diagonal directions using one optimized discotic film and adjusting TAC films of polarizers. The compensated IPS mode shows wide viewing angle characteristics that region of CR 50:1 is over $60^{\circ}$ of polar angle in all directions. The optimized IPS cell exhibits much better performances than other methods do in terms of CR and color uniformity.
