The Newton-Raphson iterative algorithm for finding a floating point reciprocal square mot calculates it by performing a fixed number of multiplications. In this paper, a variable latency Newton-Raphson's reciprocal square root algorithm is proposed that performs multiplications a variable number of times until the error becomes smaller than a given value. To find the rediprocal square root of a floating point number F, the algorithm repeats the following operations: '$X_{i+1}=\frac{{X_i}(3-e_r-{FX_i}^2)}{2}$, $i\in{0,1,2,{\ldots}n-1}$' with the initial value is '$X_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{F}}{\pm}e_0$'. The bits to the right of p fractional bits in intermediate multiplication results are truncated and this truncation error is less than '$e_r=2^{-p}$'. The value of p is 28 for the single precision floating point, and 58 for the double precision floating point. Let '$X_i=\frac{1}{\sqrt{F}}{\pm}e_i$, there is '$X_{i+1}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{F}}-e_{i+1}$, where '$e_{i+1}{<}\frac{3{\sqrt{F}}{{e_i}^2}}{2}{\mp}\frac{{Fe_i}^3}{2}+2e_r$'. If '$|\frac{\sqrt{3-e_r-{FX_i}^2}}{2}-1|<2^{\frac{\sqrt{-p}{2}}}$' is true, '$e_{i+1}<8e_r$' is less than the smallest number which is representable by floating point number. So, $X_{i+1}$ is approximate to '$\frac{1}{\sqrt{F}}$. Since the number of multiplications performed by the proposed algorithm is dependent on the input values, the average number of multiplications Per an operation is derived from many reciprocal square root tables ($X_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{F}}{\pm}e_0$) with varying sizes. The superiority of this algorithm is proved by comparing this average number with the fixed number of multiplications of the conventional algorithm. Since the proposed algorithm only performs the multiplications until the error gets smaller than a given value, it can be used to improve the performance of a reciprocal square root unit. Also, it can be used to construct optimized approximate reciprocal square root tables. The results of this paper can be applied to many areas that utilize floating point numbers, such as digital signal processing, computer graphics, multimedia, scientific computing, etc.

본 논문에서는 변형된 Newton-Raphson 알고리즘과 LUT(Look Up Table)를 사용하는 역제곱근 연산기를 제안한다. Newton-Raphson 부동소수점 역수 알고리즘은 일정한 횟수의 곱셈을 반복하여 역수 제곱근을 계산하는 방식이다. 변형된 Newton-Raphson 알고리즘은 하드웨어 구현에 적합하도록 변환되었으며, LUT는 오차를 줄이기 위해 개선되었다. 제안된 연산기는 LUT의 크기를 최소화하고, 순환적인 구조가 아닌 2-stage pipeline 구조를 가진다. 또한 IEEE-754 부동소수점 표준을 기초로 하는 24-bit 데이터 형식을 사용해 면적과 속도 향상에 유리하여 휴대용 기기의 멀티미디어 분야의 응용에 적합하다. 본 역제곱근 연산기는 소수점 이하 8-bit의 정확도를 가지며 VHDL을 이용하여 설계되었다. 그 크기는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정에서 약 4,000 gate의 크기를 보였으며 150MHz에서 동작이 가능하다.

현재 한강수계를 제외한 3대강 수계에서 수질오염총량관리제도가 의무제로써 시행되고 있다. 그러나 과학적 타당성과 외국의 성공사례들로 하여금 한강수계에 대해서도 수질오염총량제도를 의무제화 하려는 시도가 추진되고 있고 있는 실정이다. 이 제도가 한강수계에도 도입된다면, 한강권역에 포함되는 모든 지자체는 해당 유역에서 하천으로 유입되는 배출부하량을 할당받은 할당부하량 이하로 관리하여야만 정해진 유역의 목표수질을 달성할 수 있으며, 배출부하량 관리를 계획한데로 이행하지 못한 지자체는 범칙금 내지는 행정제재를 받게 된다. 따라서 체계적이고 과학적인 모니터링 및 분석 수단이 필요하다. 이 연구는 환경부 고시 한강기술지침에 의거하여 GIS를 이용하여 인천일대의 오폐수 발생부하량 및 배출부하량을 제시하고 과학적인 오염물질 삭감방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 진행되었다. 생활계, 산업계, 축산계, 양식계의 4 가지로 분류된 점오염원과 토지 이용 분류에 따른 비점오염원에 대한 각각의 발생부하량을 GIS를 통해 산정하고, 모든 오염원별로 처리경로를 고려하고 처리시설별, 방법별 삭감 효율을 반영하여 배출부하량을 산정하여 GIS상에서 제시하고 분석하였다. 인천일대는 인근지역에 비해 인구밀도가 높고 산업단지가 발달하여 생활계와 산업계 오염원에 의한 발생부하량 및 배출부하량이 많았으며, 특정 오염물에 대해서는 삭감 계획이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 수질오염총량관리제도에 대비하고 실제 수질 개선을 위하여 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 수질관리를 위한 시스템의 보완 및 삭감계획의 수립에 관한 연구가 필요하다.알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 기존 압출추출방법과 초임계 추출 방법을 비교한 결과 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 농도가 1.3${\~}$1.6배 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.게 상관성이 있어 앞으로 심도 있는 연구가 더욱 필요하다.qrt{F}}}{\pm}e_0$)에서 단정도실수 및 배정도실수의 역수 제곱근 계산에 필요한 평균 곱셈 횟수를 계산한다 이들 평균 곱셈 횟수를 종래 알고리즘과 비교하여 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 증명한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 오차가 일정한 값보다 작아질 때까지만 반복하므로 역수 제곱근 계산기의 성능을 높일 수 있다. 또한 최적의 근사 역수 제곱근 테이블을 구성할 수 있다. 본 논문의 연구 결과는 디지털 신호처리, 컴퓨터 그라픽스, 멀티미디어, 과학 기술 연산 등 부동소수점 계산기가 사용되는 분야에서 폭 넓게 사용될 수 있다.>16$\%$>0$\%$ 순으로 좋게 평가되었다. 결론적으로 감농축액의 첨가는 당과 탄닌성분을 함유함으로써 인절미의 노화를 지연시키고 저장성을 높이는데 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 인절미를 제조할 때 찹쌀가루에 8$\%$의 감농축액을 첨가하는 것이 감인절미의 색, 향, 단맛, 씹힘성이 적당하고 쓴맛과 떫은맛은 약하게 느끼면서 촉촉한 정도와 부드러운 정도는 강하게 느낄수 있어서 전반적인 기호도에서 가장 적절한 방법으로 사료된다.비위생 점수가 유의적으로 높은 점수를 나타내었다. 조리종사자의 위생지식 점수와 위생관리

The Goldschmidt iterative algorithm for finding a floating point square root calculated it by performing a fixed number of multiplications. In this paper, a variable latency Goldschmidt's square root algorithm is proposed, that performs multiplications a variable number of times until the error becomes smaller than a given value. To find the square root of a floating point number F, the algorithm repeats the following operations: $R_i=\frac{3-e_r-X_i}{2},\;X_{i+1}=X_i{\times}R^2_i,\;Y_{i+1}=Y_i{\times}R_i,\;i{\in}\{{0,1,2,{\ldots},n-1} }}'$with the initial value is $'\;X_0=Y_0=T^2{\times}F,\;T=\frac{1}{\sqrt {F}}+e_t\;'$. The bits to the right of p fractional bits in intermediate multiplication results are truncated, and this truncation error is less than $'e_r=2^{-p}'$. The value of p is 28 for the single precision floating point, and 58 for the doubel precision floating point. Let $'X_i=1{\pm}e_i'$, there is $'\;X_{i+1}=1-e_{i+1},\;where\;'\;e_{i+1}<\frac{3e^2_i}{4}{\mp}\frac{e^3_i}{4}+4e_{r}'$. If '|X_i-1|<2^{\frac{-p+2}{2}}\;'$ is true, $'\;e_{i+1}<8e_r\;'$ is less than the smallest number which is representable by floating point number. So, $\sqrt{F}$ is approximate to $'\;\frac{Y_{i+1}}{T}\;'$. Since the number of multiplications performed by the proposed algorithm is dependent on the input values, the average number of multiplications per an operation is derived from many reciprocal square root tables ($T=\frac{1}{\sqrt{F}}+e_i$) with varying sizes. The superiority of this algorithm is proved by comparing this average number with the fixed number of multiplications of the conventional algorithm. Since the proposed algorithm only performs the multiplications until the error gets smaller than a given value, it can be used to improve the performance of a square root unit. Also, it can be used to construct optimized approximate reciprocal square root tables. The results of this paper can be applied to many areas that utilize floating point numbers, such as digital signal processing, computer graphics, multimedia, scientific computing, etc.

For chip-stack package applications, Cu filling characteristics into trench vias of $75{\sim}10\;{\mu}m$ width and 3 mm length were investigated with variations of the electroplating current density and the speed of a rotating disc electrode (RDE). Cu filling characteristics into trench vias were improved with increasing the RDE speed. There was a Nernst relationship between half width of trench vias of Cu filling ratio higher than 95% and the minimum RDE speed, and the half width of trenches with 95% Cu filling ratio was linearly proportional to the reciprocal of root of the minimum RED speed.

To efficiently execute 3D graphic APIs, such as OpenGL and Direct3D, special purpose arithmetic unit(SFU) which supports floating-point sine, cosine, reciprocal, inverse square root, base-two exponential, and logarithmic operations is designed. The SFU uses second order minimax approximation method and lookup table method to satisfy both error less than 2 ulp(unit in the last place) and high speed operation. The designed circuit has about 2.3-ns delay time under 65nm CMOS standard cell library and consists of about 23,300 gates. Due to its maximum performance of 400 MFLOPS and high accuracy, it can be efficiently applicable to mobile 3D graphics application.

The purpose of this research is to study the characteristics of heat transfer in composite rotary heat pipe as modeled turbine rotating by a finite element analysis and experiment. Nu number, Re number, Pr number and dimensionless condensate layer thickness by thermal input and revolutions per minute were given as analysis factors. The comparison between calculated and experimental data showed similar tendency. Therefore the analysis method may be useful to predict the performance of composite heat pipe. The resistance on heat pipe showed the best effect of heat transfer by film condensation, by decreasing film condensation, the heat transfer rate from condenser was increased rapidly. The dimensionless condensate layer thickness according to Re number at given Pr number showed constant values, the dimensionless condensate layer thickness is proportionate to the square root of inverse of revolution number per minute. In this study Nu=A$({\delta}({\omega}/v)^{-1/2}Re^B)$ is used to the convection heat transfer coefficient and A=0.963, B=0.5025 were obtained as analysis predicts.
