The parallel computer cluster system has been known as the powerful tool to solve a complex physical phenomenon numerically. The numerical analysis of large size of Li-ion battery pack, which has a complex physical phenomenon, requires a large amount of computing time. In this study, the numerical analyses were conducted for comparing the computing efficiency between the single workstation and the parallel cluster system both with multicore CPUs'. The result shows that the parallel cluster system took the time 80 times faster than the single work station for the same battery pack model. The performance of cluster system was increased linearly with more CPU cores being increased.

Start-up support policy is expanding for the activation of creative economy. Domestic start-up is activated in early 2000, but is shrinked rapidly because there is not enough collaborative system of R&D, start-up, finance, and management support. Many organizations and collaborative environment in Silicon valley of USA is developed for long time. In Korea, creative economy is constructing rapidly led by government like building industrialization and information society. VCDP(Virtual Cluster-type Dynamic Collaboration Platform) is a good tool for the start-up support policy. This study explains the necessity and effectiveness of VCDP and suggests creative activation policy using this tool.

We examine the HI gas kinematics and distribution of galaxy pairs in group or cluster environment from high-resolution Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) WALLABY pilot observations. We use 22 well-resolved galaxies in the Hydra cluster of which 4 galaxies are visually identified as pairs and others are isolated ones. We perform profile decomposition of HI velocity profiles of the galaxies using a new tool, BAYGAUD which enables us to separate a line-of-sight velocity profile into an optimal number of Gaussian components based on Bayesian MCMC techniques. All the HI velocity profiles of the galaxies are decomposed into kinematically cold or warm gas components with their velocity dispersion, 4~8 km/s or > 8 km/s, respectively. We derive the mass fraction of the kinematically cold gas with respect to the total HI gas mass, f = log10(M_cold / M_HI), of the galaxies and correlate them with their dynamical mass. The cold gas reservoir of the paired galaxies in the Hydra cluster is found to be relatively higher than that of the isolated ones which show a negative correlation with the dynamical mass in general.

Cluster tools are extensively employed in various wafer fabrication processes within the semiconductor manufacturing industry, including photo lithography, etching, and chemical vapor deposition. Contemporary fabrication facilities encounter customer orders with technical specifications that are similar yet slightly varied. Consequently, modern fabrications concurrently manufacture two or three different wafer types using a cluster tool to maximize chamber utilization and streamline the flow of wafer lots between different process stages. In this review, we introduce two methods of concurrent processing of multiple wafer types: 1) concurrent processing of multiple wafer types with different job flows, 2) concurrent processing of multiple wafer types with identical job flows. We describe relevant research trends and achievements and discuss future research directions.

In the cluster tool, it is necessary to precisely control the vacuum pressure for the wafer transportation between transport module and cassette or process with the range of 10 $^{-4}$ to 5*10 $^{-5}$ torr. So we have designed the pressure control system for the transport module of the cluster tool and have evaluated its performance. Digital PID is utilized with the weighted sum of both three previous errors and one current error. The feedback signal is put into the nitrgen mass flow controller using the transport module controller. This pressure control system can prevent the transport module from the particle generation and backstreaming of hazardous process gases of the process chamber.

최근 이슈가 되고 있는 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 다수의 노드를 이용한 클러스터를 사용한다. 이러한 클러스터를 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 모니터링 툴을 사용하고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 모니터링 툴은 클러스터를 구성하는 노드의 가용성과 오버헤드, 데이터 수집/전송 방식에 중심을 둔 모니터링 툴이기 때문에 클라우드 클러스터의 세부 정보까지 모니터링 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 구축할 수 있는 플랫폼인 Hadoop을 위한 모니터링 툴을 제안한다.

We study the alignment of kinematic position angles (PAkin) of early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster using Atlas3D data. The PAkin represent the direction of the angular momentum of the galaxies better than the photometric position angles. Therefore, the alignment of their PA$_{kin}$ is a useful tool to trace the momentum direction. The early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster have been known to be distributed as filamentary structures inside the cluster. We found that their PAkin are aligned to two directions of 20degree and -80degree. This fact is confirmed using the bootstrap test, and that is, the two alignment angles are statistically significant. Besides, these two angles are surprisingly aligned parallel to the filamentary structures inside the cluster. These results suggest that early-type galaxies were formed by major merging in the filament structures and then fall into the Virgo cluster while maintaining their position angles.

Many of today's environmental problems are regional in scope and their effects overlap and interact. The purpose of this paper is to developed a simple method for an integrated assessment of environmental conditions across the Mid-Nakdong River Region, by combining data on land use, impervious cover, roads, streams, riparian areas, forest patches, population, pollutant loadings, soil erosion and topography. A cluster analysis was used to identify groups of sub-watersheds with similar environmental characteristics. The mean value for each group was used to find watershed that may be more vulnerable to future environmental degradation. Watersheds in cluster I and II had high amount of forest, but the amount of riparian vegetation was low. Watersheds in cluster III, which located in the middle Geumho River and the main course of Nakdong River, had a greater proportion of their agriculture, a greater proportion of agriculture on steep slopes, and less forest adjacent to streams. Watersheds in cluster IV and V were in the most urbanized areas of the region. The principal adverse impacts for watersheds in this group were high scores for urban area, impervious cover, pollutant loadings, population density, forest fragmentation, and low amounts of forest and riparian forest cover. Notwithstanding the exploratory nature of cluster analysis, it appears to be a useful tool for grouping watersheds with similar environmental characteristics.

Stellar kinematics is a useful tool to understand the formation and evolution of young stellar systems. Here, we present a kinematic study of the HII region, NGC 821, using the Gaia Early Data Release 3. NGC 281 contains the open cluster IC 1590. This cluster has a core and a low-stellar density halo. We detect a pattern of cluster expansion from the Gaia proper motion vectors. Most stars radially escaping from the cluster are distributed in the halo. We measure the 1-dimensional velocity dispersion of stars in the core. The velocity dispersion (1 km/s) is comparable to the expected virial velocity dispersion of this cluster, and therefore the core is at a virial state. The core has an initial mass function shallower than that of the halo, which is indicative of mass segregation. However, there is no significant correlation between stellar masses and tangential velocities. This result suggests that the mass segregation has a primordial origin. On the other hand, it has been believed that the formation of young stars in NGC 281 West was triggered by feedback from massive stars in IC 1590. We investigate the ages of stars in the two regions, but the age difference between the two regions is not comparable to the timescale of the passage of an ionization front. Also, the proper motion vectors of the NGC 281 West stars relative to IC 1590 do not show any systematic receding motion from the cluster. Our results suggest that stars in NGC 281 West might have been formed spontaneously. In conclusion, the formation of NGC 281 can be understood in the context of hierarchical star formation model.

Since High Sierra, APFS has been used as the main file system. It is a well-established file system that has been used stably thus far. From the perspective of digital forensics, there are still many areas to be investigated. Apple File System Reference is provided to the apple developer site, but it is not satisfactory to fully analyze APFS. Researchers know more about the structure of APFS than before, but they have not yet fully analyzed its structure to a perfect level about it. In this paper, we develop APFS object identification tool for digital forensics. The most basic and essential object identification and analysis of the APFS filesystem will be conducted with the tool. The analysis in this study serves as the background for an analysis of the checkpoint operation principle and structure, including the more complex B-tree structure of APFS. There are several options for the developed tool, but the results of two use cases will be shown here. Based on the implemented tool, it is hoped that more functions will be added to make APFS a useful tool for faster and more accurate analyses.
