The purpose of this study was to measure Micro vicker's hardness of 4 kinds of anterior Composite resins (Pyrofil light bond anterior, Lite-fil anterior, Photo clear fil anterior, Silux) and 6 kinds of posterior Composite resin (Pyrofil light bond posterior. Lite-fil posterior, Photo clear fil posterior, Occlusin posterior, Palfique light posterior, P-30, posterior) according to deference of depth and distance of light tip from surface of composite resin. Each composite resin was filled into Teflon tube of 5mm in diameter and 5mm in depth, celluloid matrix was covered and the light in accordance with each composite resin was irradiated in distance of zero millimeter and 1 cm from light tip to surface of composite resin for 30 seconds. Specimens were sectioned longitudinally with cutting device. Microvicker's hardness measurements ware made at the depth of surface, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm from the surface to deep portion. Vicker's hardness numbers were taken on each depth under 200gm load for 30 seconds with MVK-E. The following results were: 1. The highest hardness value was measured at 1 mm depth. Then the deeper the depth, the lesser the hardness was observed. 2. The hardness value of anterior composite resins is lower than one of posterior composite resins. 3. Hardness number of composite resin irradiated in distance of zero millimeter from surface of composite resin was higher than one of 1 cm from surface of composite resin. 4. The pattern of hardness change at varying depth was similar to all the experimental material with no relation to distance of light from specimen.

Fentanyl-loaded biodegradable poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (75 : 25 by mole ratio of lactide to glycolide, PLGA) microspheres (MSs) were prepared to study the possibility for long-acting local anesthesia. We developed the fentanyl base (FB, slightly water-soluble)-loaded PLGA MSs by means of conventional O/W solvent evaporation method. The size of MSs was in the range of 10~150 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The morphology of MSs was characterized by SEM, and the in vitro release amounts of FB were analyzed by HPLC. The lowest porous cross-sectional morphology and the highest encapsulation efficiency were obtained by using gelatin as an emulsifier. The influences of several preparation parameters, such as emulsifier types, molecular weights and concentrations of PLGA, and initial drug loading amount, etc., have been observed in the release patterns of FB. The release of FB in vitro was more prolonged over 25 days, with close to zero-order pattern by controlling the preparation parameters. We also investigated the physicochemical properties of FB-loaded PLGA MSs by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimeter.

This study was conducted to develop the fermentation kinetic modeling for the prediction of pH and acidity changes in kimchi at isothermal and nonisothermal fermentation temperatures(0~15$^{\circ}C$) and salt concentrations(1.5~4.0%) using the traditional two-step method and alternative one-step method. The calculations of the two-step method of pH and acidity change during fermentation followed the pattern of the first order and zero order, respectively. The reaction rate constant of pH by the first order was increased from 0.008 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.017 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the temperature from $0^{\circ}C$ to 15$^{\circ}C$ at 2.75% of salt concentration, and was decreased from 0.013 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.010 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the salt concentration from 1.5% to 4.0% at 5$^{\circ}C$. For the pH and acidity of Kimchi, the zero order had a higher correlation than the first order to the estimate of the kinetics parameters by the one-step method. The {TEX}$E_{a}${/TEX} ranges of pH and acidity were 61.057~66.086 and 62.417~68.772 kJ/mole with different temperatures and salt concentrations. This one-step method had smaller and more realistic estimates of error(p〈0.05). The effective temperatures, {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX}, with 0~15$^{\circ}C$ of square function type of 12 hr intervals were 12.85, 11.48 and 12.46$^{\circ}C$ as increasing the salt concentration, 1.50, 2.75 and 4.00%, respectively. The {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX} were higher values than the mean temperature(7.5$^{\circ}C$).

This study aimed to develop dress torso patterns with both aesthetic and functional qualities that fit for women in their 20s. In order to develop dress torso patterns, wearing tests were done. By collecting drafting methods of the patterns through literature study and the survey of wedding dress manufacturers, four kinds of dress torso patterns were selected. The existing dress torso patterns have no or very small ease in chest, waist, and hip circumferences. As a result of wearing tests of these four existing dress torso patterns, drafting methods of dress torso patterns that have the best satisfied values close to optimum zero were selected; the first and second research dress torso patterns were developed by modifying and supplementing items that had noticeable difference through the Wilcoxon rank sum test with a selected measured value and a best satisfied value of zero; and deduced a drafting method for the final developed dress torso patterns by a wearing test of the second developed dress torso patterns. Distinctive aspects of drafting methods of the final developed dress torso patterns were that ease for each area was given differently by considering a functional quality and a chest circumference instead of a bust circumference was applied to reduce influence by the size of breast in neck and armhole areas, and a back bust level. Back neck breadth was made wider and front neck breadth was made less narrow due to a recent change of age 20s female adults' shoulder and back shape.

Recently, with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies, security threats have increased as malicious codes infect IoT devices, and new malware spreads ransomware to cloud servers. In this study, we propose a threat-detection technique that checks obfuscated script patterns to compensate for the shortcomings of conventional signature-based and behavior-based detection methods. Proposed is a malicious code-detection technique that is based on malicious script-pattern analysis that can detect zero-day attacks while maintaining the existing detection rate by registering and checking derived distribution patterns after analyzing the types of malicious scripts distributed through websites. To verify the performance of the proposed technique, a prototype system was developed to collect a total of 390 malicious websites and experiment with 10 major malicious script-distribution patterns derived from analysis. The technique showed an average detection rate of about 86% of all items, while maintaining the existing detection speed based on the detection rule and also detecting zero-day attacks.

A distributed high-speed data acquisition and monitoring system for the RF negative ion source at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) is developed, which consists of data acquisition, data forwarding and data processing. Firstly, the data acquisition modules sample physical signals at high speed and upload the sampling data with corresponding absolute-time labels over UDP, which builds the time correlation among different signals. And a special data packet format is proposed for the data upload, which is convenient for packing or parsing a fixed-length packet, especially when the span of the time labels in a packet crosses an absolute second. The data forwarding modules then receive the UDP messages and distribute their data packets to the real-time display module and the data storage modules by PUB/SUB-pattern message queue of ZeroMQ. As for the data storage, a scheme combining the file server and MySQL database is adopted to increase the storage rate and facilitate the data query. The test results show that the loss rate of the data packets is within the range of 0-5% and the storage rate is higher than 20 Mbps, both acceptable for the HUST RF negative ion source.

In South Korea, there have been many studies on efficient building-energy management using renewable energy facilities in single zero-energy houses or buildings. However, such management was limited due to spatial and economic problems. To realize a smart zero-energy city, studying efficient energy integration for the entire city, not just for a single house or building, is necessary. Therefore, this study was conducted in the eco-friendly energy town of Chungbuk Innovation City. Chungbuk successfully realized energy independence by converging new and renewable energy facilities for the first time in South Korea. This study analyzes energy data collected from public buildings in that town every minute for a year. We propose a smart city building-energy management model based on the results that combine various renewable energy sources with grid power. Supervised learning can determine when it is best to sell surplus electricity, or unsupervised learning can be used if there is a particular pattern or rule for energy use. However, it is more appropriate to use reinforcement learning to maximize rewards in an environment with numerous variables that change every moment. Therefore, we propose a power distribution algorithm based on reinforcement learning that considers the sales of Energy Storage System power from surplus renewable energy. Finally, we confirm through economic analysis that a 10% saving is possible from this efficiency.

In this article, Pb₂Ba_1.7Sr_0.3Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ superconductor material was synthesized using conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated one dominant phase 2223 and some impurities in the product powder. The strongest peaks in the XRD pattern were successfully indexed assuming a pseudo-tetragonal cell with lattice constants of a = 3.732, b = 3.733 and c = 14.75 Å for a Pb-Based compound. The crystallite size and lattice strain between the layers of the studied compound were estimated using several methods, namely the Scherrer, Williamson-Hall (W.H), size-strain plot (SSP) and Halder Wagner (H.W) approach. The values of crystallite size, calculated by Scherrer, W.H, SSP and H.W methods, were 89.4540774, 86.658638, 87.7555823 and 85.470086 Å, respectively. Moreover, the lattice strain values obtained by W.H, SSP and H.W methods were 0.0063240, 0.006325 and 0.006, respectively. It was noted that all crystallite size results are consistent; however, the best method is the size-strain plot because it gave a value of R² approaching one. Furthermore, degree of crystallites was calculated and found to be 59.003321%. Resistivity analysis suggests zero-resistance, which is typical of superconducting materials at critical temperature. Four-probe technique was utilized to measure the critical temperature at onset T_c(onset), zero resistivity T_{c(off set)}, and transition (width ΔT), corresponding to temperatures of 128 K, 116 K, and 12 K, respectively.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of $Fe_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ have been studied by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy measurement. The crystal structure was determined by the normal cubic spinel of space group Fd3m and the lattice constant was $a_0=9.9967\;{\AA}$. The specific phenomenon which looks like cusp pattern at 77 K was observed in magnetization corves(ZFC : Zero Field Cooling) under 100 Oe applied field. $N\acute{e}el$ temperature($T_N$) was determined to be 153 K by VSM and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra. The asymmetric 8-line profile has been observed at 4.2 K, which was attributed by the colossal electric quadupole interaction(${\Delta}E_Q$), ${\Delta}E_Q$ has 2.22 mm/s at 4.2 K. The ${\Delta}E_Q$ abruptly decreases around 77 K and then it disappears above 77 K with diminishing of 8-line pattern. The isomer shift $\delta$ at room temperature is 0.48 mm/s relative to Fe metal, which means that the charge state of Fe ions is ferrous in character.

The purpose of this study is to propose a chart that can easily estimate the seismic failure probability of small and medium sized earthfill dams with little geotechnical information. By considering the existing method and procedure for estimating the seismic failure probability of a dam, the zero seismic failure probability curve, on which the seismic probability is zero regardless of the geotechnical properties of the dam, was determined in the form of hyperbola in the dam height and freeboard ratio plane. It was confirmed that the dam height-freeboard ratio distribution pattern of the Korean small and medium sized dams was shaped like a hyperbola like the zero seismic failure probability curve. Therefore, a estimation chart was constructed in which a number of seismic failure probability contours are represented by a number of hyperbolas at regular intervals in the dam height-freeboard ratio plane. The proposed chart was applied to the calculation of the seismic failure probability of two small and midium sized dams with relatively well-managed geotechnical properties and the validity of the chart was confirmed by comparison with the results obtained by the existing procedures and methods. In the future, the proposed chart is expected to be useful in considering investment priorities for maintenance and reinforcement of small and medium sized dams in preparation for earthquakes.
