After launch, in order to inject the geostationary satellite into its operational orbit, the perigee altitude are forced to be raised to geostationary altitude by firing onboard LAE(Liquid Apogee Engine) at apogee of the transfer orbit. In this process, the LAE burn is divided into three or four separated burns in order to control the orbit very precisely by giving feedback the determined orbit informations and to inject the satellite in predefined longitude. This paper proposes an algorithm to determine LAE firing time slots and ${\Delta}V$ vectors under assumption of impulsive LAE burning, and additionally, a method to compensate errors induced by continuous burning. And computer simulations have been performed to validate proposed algorithms.

멘토링은 조직이나 사회 구성원들의 발전을 돕기 위한 프로그램으로서, 조언자, 상담자 및 후원자 역할을 하는 '멘토(mentor)'와 도움을 얻고자 하는 '멘티(mentee)'가 긴밀한 관계를 맺고 유지함으로써 상호 발전을 위해 수행된다. 현재 이루어지고 있는 대부분의 멘토링은 면대면 (face-to-face) 시스템이거나 웹 기반의 e-mentoring 시스템으로, 전자는 시간적 그리고 지역적 한계를 극복해야만 하고 후자는 멘토나 멘티가 멘토링 사이트에 접속하여 게시판을 확인하지 않으면 제대로 된 멘토링을 수행할 수 없다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 또한 멘토와 멘티의 매칭은 무작위로 이루어지거나 코디네이터라고 불리는 사람이 수행하기 때문에, 비용이 많이 소용될 뿐 아니라 개인적인 편견이나 오류가 개입될 여지가 상존한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시간과 장소의 제약에 구애 받지 않는 u-Mentoring 시스템을 개발하고자 하며, 그 첫 단계로써 멘토와 멘티간의 매칭을 지원하는 새로운 알고리즘(M3 Algorithm, Mentor-Mentee Matching Algorithm)을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 매칭의 정확도와 멘토-멘티의 매칭 만족도를 높이기 위해 멘토-멘티 온톨로지(M-Ontology)와 사례기반추론 기법을 사용하였다. 즉, 멘토-멘티의 효과적인 매칭을 위해, 멘토-멘티간 매칭 사례가 없는 초기 단계에는 멘토와 멘티의 속성 비교를 통한 추천 방식을 사용하고, 멘토링이 종료되어 충분한 멘토-멘티간 매칭사례가 수집되면 그 결과를 재사용해 추후 매칭에 활용한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 매칭 알고리즘이 내장된 u-Mentoring system의 포로토타입을 보여주고자 한다.

In this paper, to maximize the performance of the scatter communication in multi-core and many-core processors, a technique that considers the communication situation of the processing node is applied to a multi-core processor composed of 32 processing nodes. Since the existing scatter algorithm cannot recognize the communication conditions of the processing nodes, communication is generally performed according to an initially set transmission order. In this case, scatter communication starts only after the communication currently being performed by all processing nodes inside the processor is finished. The scatter communication performance was improved by this technique, and it was confirmed that there was a performance improvement of up to 78.93% compared to the existing algorithm through BFM simulation.

BACKGROUND: Hydroponics is one of the methods for evaluating plant production using the inorganic nutrient solutions, which is applied under the artificial light conditions of plant factory system. However, the application of the conventional inorganic nutrients for hydroponics caused several environmental problems: waste from culture mediums and high nitrate concentration in plants. Organic nutrients are generally irrigated as a supplementary fertilizer for plant growth promotion under field or greenhouse conditions. Hydroponic culture using organic nutrients derived from the agricultural by-products such as dumped stems, leaves or immature fruits is rarely considered in plant factory system. Effect of organic or conventional inorganic nutrient solutions on the growth and nutrient absorption pattern of green and red leaf lettuces was investigated in this experiment under fluorescent lamps (FL) and mixture Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs). METHODS AND RESULTS: Single solution of tomatoes (TJ) and kales (K) deriving from agricultural by-products including leaves or stems and its mixed solution (mixture ration 1:1) with conventional inorganic Yamazaki (Y) were supplied for hydroponics under the plant factory system. The Yamazaki solution was considered as a control. 'Jeockchima' and 'Cheongchima' lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa L.) were used as plant materials. The seedlings which developed 2~3 true leaves were grown under the light qualities of FL and mixed LED lights of blue plus red plus white of 1:2:1 mixture in energy ratio for 35 days. Light intensity of the light sources was controlled at 180 μmol/㎡/s on the culture bed. The single and mixture nutrient solutions of organic and/or inorganic components which controlled at 1.5 dS/m EC and 5.8 pH were regularly irrigated by the deep flow technique (DFT) system on the culture gutters. Number of unfolded leaves of the seedlings grown under the single or mixed nutrient solutions were significantly increased compared to the conventional Y treatment. Leaf extension of 'Jeockchima' under the mixture LED radiation condition was not affected by Y and YK or YTJ mixture treatments. SPAD value in 'Jeockchima' leaves exposed by FL under the YK mixture medium was approximately 45 % higher than under conventional Y treatment. Otherwise, the maximum SPAD value in the leaves of 'Cheongchima' seedlings was shown in YK treatment under the mixture LED lights. NO₃-N contents in Y treatment treated with inorganic nutrient at the end of the experiment were up to 75% declined rather than increased over 60 % in the K and TJ organic treatment. CONCLUSION: Growth of the seedlings was affected by the mixture treatments of the organic and inorganic solutions, although similar or lower dry weight was recorded than in the inorganic treatment Y under the plant factory system. Treatment Y containing the highest NO₃-N content among the considered nutrients influenced growth increment of the seedlings comparing to the other nutrients. However effect of the higher NO₃-N content in the seedling growth was different according to the light qualities considered in the experiment as shown in leaf expansion, pigmentation or dry weight promotion under the single or mixed nutrients.

Background: Isoniazid (INH, H) is a key drug of the standard first-line regimen for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), yet some reports have suggested that treatment efficacy was maintained even though INH was omitted from the treatment regimen. Methods: One hundred forty C57BL/6 mice were infected with the H37Rv strain of M. tuberculosis with using a Glas-Col aerosol generation device, and this resulted in depositing about 100 bacilli in the lung. Four weeks after infection, anti-TB treatment was initiated with varying regimens for 4-8 weeks; Group 1: no treatment (control), Group 2 (4HREZ): 4 weeks of INH, rifampicin (R), pyrazinamide (Z) and ethambutol (E), Group 3: 1HREZ/3REZ, Group 4: 4REZ, Group 5: 4HREZ/4HRE, Group 6: 1HREZ/3REZ/4RE, and Group 7: 4REZ/4RE. The lungs and spleens were harvested at several time points until 28 weeks after infection, and the colony-forming unit (CFU) counts were determined. Results: The CFU counts increased steadily after infection in the control group. In the 4-week treatment groups (Group 2-4), even though the culture was negative at treatment completion, the bacilli grew again at the 12-week and 20-week time points after completion of treatment. In the 8-week treatment groups (Groups 5-7), the bacilli did not grow in the lung at 4 weeks after treatment initiation and thereafter. In the spleens of Group 7 in which INH was omitted from the treatment regimen, the culture was negative at 4-weeks after treatment initiation and thereafter. However, in Groups 5 and 6 in which INH was taken continuously or intermittently, the bacilli grew in the spleen at some time points after completion of treatment. Conclusion: TThe exclusion of INH from the standard first-line regimen did not affect the treatment outcome in a murine model of TB in the early stage of disease. Further studies using a murine model of chronic TB are necessary to clarify the role of INH in the standard first-line regimen for treating TB.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of air suction rate (SR) during the composting process of swine manure mixed with sawdust used as a bulking agent. In the 25 L composting reactors, the suction rate (SR) was at four different treatment levels (100%, 200%, 300%, 400%), and were fixed on the based on constant aeration rate into the composting mixtures. The temperature reached to thermophilic phase within 2 days and it was maintained up to the $5^{th}$ day of the composting process in all reactors and then gradually decreased to room temperature at the end of the composting process. The moisture content (MC, %) of the initial mixtures was 64.27%, and it was reduced to 38.4, 33.08, 14.59 and 11.93 in the different suction rate of 100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, respectively in the end process. During the composting, the level of pH was increased from 6.83 to 8.67 and it gradually decreased to 7.56 in 100% and 200%(SR). At the same time, the pH values were reduced only up to 8.19 at 300%, and 8.08 at 400%(SR), showing that suction strengths of 100% and 200% were the better option for composting than those of 300% and 400%. The total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) of initial composts mixtures was 2.3% and were changed in 3.3, 3.1, 2.5, and 2.3% at the end of the composting period from the 100%-400% (SR) variations respectively. These results also indicated that 100% and 200% (SR) were more affected by the dry mass loss as $CO_2$ and water evaporation. The initial value of C/N ratio was 25.17 and were significantly reduced to 11.88, 11.97, 14.31, and 14.72 at the end of the experiment, respectively from the 100%-400% (SR) variations. These results suggest that the suction rate (SR) of 100% and 200% relative to constant air supply would be the optimal conditions to produce high-quality compost.
