We present a space-time trellis coded OFDM system in flow fading channels. Generalized principal ratio combining (GPRC) is also analyzed theoretically in frequency domain. The analysis show that the decoding metric of GPRC include the metrics of maximum likelihood (ML) and PRC. The computer simulations with M-PSK modulation are obtained in frequency flat and frequency selective lading channels. The decoding complexity and simulation running times are also evaluated among the decoding schemes.

In this paper, we have analyzed the block error probability of orthogonal multicarrier 16 QAM signal in a frequency selective Rician fading environment. The block error probability is evaluated with several parameters such as normalized propagation delay $(\gamma/T_S),$, bit energy to noise power ratio $(E_b/N_0),$ and desired signal to undesired signal power ratio (DUR) in fast fading and slow fading channels. In the fast fading channel, The result shows that the block error probability rather in the fast fading channel achieves better performance than in the slow fading channel, when the error correction capability is one or two.

내장형 시스템이 점점 복잡해지면서 하드웨어/소프트웨어 통합설계의 중요성은 더욱 부각되고 있다. 이 하드웨어/소프트웨어 통합설계의 핵심 요소는 하드웨어/소프트웨어 통합시뮬레이션이다. 내장형 시스템을 구성하는 여러 컴포넌트들을 통합시뮬레이션 할 때 이종의 여러 시뮬레이터들을 동시에 사용하는 경우가 많은데 이 때 가장 문제가 되는 점은 시뮬레이터 간의 동기화에 따른 성능 저하이다. 이를 개선하기 위해 가상 동기화 기법이 제안된 바 있다. 그러나 가상 동기화 기법도 느린 시뮬레이터의 속도에 종속 될 수밖에 없다. 보통 가장 느린 시뮬레이터는 하드웨어 RTL 시뮬레이터이다. 본 논문은 하드웨어 RTL 시뮬레이터를 FPGA 에뮬레이터로 대체하면서 가상 동기화 기법을 사용한 통합에뮬레이션 환경을 구축해 보았다. 가상 동기화 기법을 적용하는 것은, 가상 동기화 기법의 장점대로 가상 동기화 기법의 통합시뮬레이션 커널과 FPGA 에뮬레이터 사이에 통신을 할 수 있게 해주는 인터페이스 프로그램을 제작하는 것만으로 가능했고 이렇게 구축한 환경에서 H.263 디코더로 실험을 한 결과 약 2.5배의 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

블록체인은 4차 산업혁명 핵심 키워드 중 하나이다. 하지만 현재 블록체인 기술을 접목시킨 사례는 굉장히 적다. 그것은 블록체인 시스템에서 트랜잭션을 처리하는 속도가 느린 것을 이유로 볼 수 있다. 기존에 빠른 속도로 많은 트랜잭션을 처리하던 시스템에 비해 느린 블록체인 기술을 접목시키는 것은 어려움이 있다. 때문에 블록체인 연구는 합의 알고리즘, 다양한 네트워크 구성 등을 이용하여 트랜잭션 처리 속도를 늘리는 연구들이 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 오픈소스 프로젝트인 하이퍼레저 패브릭의 트랜잭션 처리 속도를 향상시키기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 패브릭은 블록에 트랜잭션을 추가하기 위해 독립적으로 수행되는 3단계를 거쳐 수행된다. 그 중 1번째 단계인 보증 단계의 최적화를 진행한다. 패브릭에서 클라이언트로부터 피어가 반복적인 요청을 받을 때 매번 같은 네트워크에 속해 있는 노드인지 확인을 하게 되는데, 한번 보증을 완료한 노드는 일정 기간 동안 노드 확인을 거치지 않고 체인 코드를 수행하여 트랜잭션을 처리하도록 하는 방법을 제안한다.

The Mass Flow Controller(MFC) has become crucial in semiconductor manufacturing equipments. It is an important element because the quality and the yield of a semiconductor process are decided by the accurate flow control of gas. Therefore, the demand for implementing the high speed and the highly accurate control of MFCs has been increasing. It is hard to find an article of the control algorithm applied to MFCs. But, it is known that commercially available MFCs adopt PID control algorithms. Particularly, when the system detects the flow by way of heat transfer, the MFC control problem includes the slow response and the nonlinearity. In this paper, MFC control algorithm with a superior performance to the conventional PID algorithm is discussed and the superiority is demonstrated through the experiment. A fuzzy controller was utilized in order to compensate the nonlinearity and the slow response, and the performance is compared with that of an MFC currently available in the market. The control system, in this paper, consists of a personal computer, the data acquisition board and the control algorithm carried out by LabWindows/CVI program on the PC. In addition, a method of estimating the actual flow from the sensor output with the slow response is presented. In conclusion, according to the result of the experiment, the proposed algorithm shows better accuracy and is faster than the conventional controller.

Sorption kinetics of hydrophobic organic compounds (chlorobenzene and phenanthrene) in natural wetland soils was investigated using laboratory batch adsorbers. One -site mass transfer model (OSMTM) and two compartment first-order kinetic model (TCFOKM) were used to analyze sorption kinetics. Analysis of OSMTM reveals that apparent sorption equilibria were obtained within 10 to 75 hours for chlorobenzene and 2 hours for phenanthrene, respectively. For chlorobenzene, the sorption equilibrium time for surface soil was longer than that of deeper soil presumably due to physico-chemical differences between the soils. For phenanthrene, however, no difference in sorption equilibrium time was observed between the soils. As expected from the number of model parameters involved, the three-parameter TCFOKM was better than the two-parameter OSMTM in describing sorption kinetics, The fraction of fast sorption ($f_1$) and the first-order sorption rate constants for fast ($k_1$)and slow ($k_2$) compartments were determined by fitting experimental data to the TCFOKM. The results of TCFOKM analysis indicate that the sorption rate constant in the fast compartment($k_1$) was much greater than that of slow fraction($k_2$) . The fraction of the fast sorption ($f_1$) and the sorption rate constant in the fast compartment($k_1$) were increasing in the order of increasing $k_{ow}$, phenanthrene > chlorobenzene. The first-order sorption rate constants in the fast ($k_1$) and slow ($k_2$) compartments were found to vary from $10^{-0.1}\;to\;-10^{1.0}$ and from $10^{-4}\;to-10^{-2}$, respectively.

Experiments from several groups Including ours have demonstrated that $Ca^{2+}$ can enhance the inactivation of N-type calcium channels. However, it is not clear if this effect can be ascribed to a 'classic' $Ca^{2+}$-dependent inactivation (CDI) mechanism. One method that has been used to demonstrate CDI of L-type calcium channels is to alter the intracellular and extracellular concentration of $Ca^{2+}$. In this paper we replaced the external divalent cation to monovalent ion ($MA^+$) to test CDI. In the previous paper, we could separate fast (${\tau}{\sim}150ms$) and slow (${\tau}{\sim}2,500ms$) components of inactivation in both $Ba^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ using 5-sec voltage step. Lowering the external divalent cation concentration to zero abolished fast inactivation with relatively little effect on slow inactivation. Slow inactivation ${\tau}$ correspond very well with provided the $MA^+$ data is shifted 10 mV hyperpolarized and slow inactivation ${\tau}$ decreases with depolarization voltage in both $MA^+\;and\;Ba^{2+}$, which consistent with a classical voltage dependent inactivation (VDI) mechanism. These results combined with those of our previous paper lead us to hypothesize that external divalent cations are required to produce fast N-channel inactivation and this divalent cation-dependent inactivation is a different mechanism from classic CDI or VDI.

The column-oriented database storage is a very advanced model for large-volume data analysis systems because of its superior I/O performance. Traditional data storages exploit row-oriented storage where the attributes of a record are placed contiguously in hard disk for fast write operations. However, for search-mostly datawarehouse systems, column-oriented storage has become a more proper model because of its superior read performance. Recently, solid state drive using MLC flash memory is largely recognized as the preferred storage media for high-speed data analysis systems. The features of non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations are sufficient grounds to support flash memory as major storage components of modern database servers. However, we need to improve traditional transaction management scheme due to the relatively slow characteristics of column compression and flash operation as compared to RAM memory. In this research, we propose a new scheme called Column-aware Multi-Version Locking (CaMVL) scheme for efficient transaction processing. CaMVL improves transaction performance by using compression lock and multi version reads for efficiently handling slow flash write/erase operation in lock management process. We also propose a simulation model to show the performance of CaMVL. Based on the results of the performance evaluation, we conclude that CaMVL scheme outperforms the traditional scheme.

Retinal bipolar cells according to the light stimulus respond to potential slowly, emit neurotransmitter release(glutamine acid) to depend on membrane potential. In this paper, the several physiological information on neurotransmitter release mechanism in the presynaptic terminal of the ON-type bipolar cells are incorporated into the formula model. The source of fast components and slow components of neurotransmitter release was arranged in parallel, this model was able to reproduce the membrane potential and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration dependence of neurotransmitter release faithfully. In addition, because the fast releasable components of neurotransmitter was represented by the membrane potential dependence of trapezoid type, whereas the slow releasable components was represented by the membrane potential dependence of a bell type, $Ca^{2+}$ concentration rise in intracellular is suppressed by $Ca^{2+}$ buffer to reduce slow releasable components, it was confirmed that the membrane potential dependence of neurotransmitter release was characteristics of a trapezoid type. And, in the light response of ON type bipolar cell, the result of the simulation of the neurotransmitter release caused by the components of transient and persistent was that the start of light response occurred the fast release of neurotransmitter, it was confirmed that the transient component and persistent component of the light response occurred the slow release. It was confirmed that the later of persistent component of the light response occurred due to the continuous release by synaptic vesicle supplemented from the storage pool.

Measuring in vivo rate of bone collagen synthesis has so far been technically difficult and often subject to quite large errors. In the present study, bone collagen synthesis rate was measured using a precursor-product method, based on the exchange of $^2$$H_2O$ into amino acids. Mass isotopomer abundance in hydroxyproline from bone collagen was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The $^2$$H_2O$ labeling protocol consisted of an initial intraperitoneal injection of 99.9% $^2$$H_2O$, to achieve approximately 2.5% body water enrichment followed by administration of 4% $^2$$H_2O$ in drinking water for 9 weeks. Body $^2$$H_2O$ enrichments were stable at 2.7 ∼ 3.0% over labeling Period. In growing rats, the fractional synthesis rate ( $k_{s}$) of bone collagen was 0.066 $\pm$ 0.049 w $k^{-1}$ . The unique features of stable $^2$$H_2O$ pools and label incorporation allowed the precursor-product approach to be used for measuring bone collagen synthesis rate..
