There is thixo-extrusion to form high strength aluminum alloy. But, it is a problem that grains become grain coarsening during reheating process because the alloy was exposed at high temperature. In order to solve grain growth during reheating process, calcium was added in Al-Zn-Mg alloys. Primary a grain sizes of semi-solid Al-Zn-Mg-(0, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.9, wt.%)Ca were measured with image analyzer after reheating. Measured primary a grain sizes were applied to LSW(Lifshitz-Slyozov and Wagner) equation to check the effect of Ca on grain coarsening. Coarsening rate constant K values of semi-solid Al-Zn-Mg-(0, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.9, wt.%)Ca alloys were $371\;mm^3s^{-1}$, $247\;mm^3s^{-1}$, $198\;mm^3s^{-1}$ and $166 mm^3s^{-1}$, respectively. As increasing calcium content, K value decreased which means grains are refined. Also, grains of calcium addition were more spherical than that of calcium free.

Generation methods of data cube have been studied for many years in data warehouse which supports decision making using stored data. There are two previous studies, one is multi-way array algorithm and the other is H-cubing algorithm which is based on the hyper-tree. The multi-way array algorithm stores all aggregation data in arrays, so if the base data is increased, the size of memory is also grow. The H-cubing algorithm which is based on the hyper-tree stores all tuples in one tree so the construction cost is increased. In this paper, we present an efficient data cube generation method based on hash table using weight mapping table and record hash table. Because the proposed method uses a hash table, the generation cost of data cube is decreased and the memory usage is also decreased. In the performance study, we shows that the proposed method provides faster search operation time and make data cube generation operate more efficiently.

Data cube, which is multi-dimensional data model, have been successfully applied in many cases of multi-dimensional data analysis, and is still being researched to be applied in data stream analysis. Data stream is being generated in real-time, incessant, immense, and volatile manner. The distribution characteristics of data arc changing rapidly due to those characteristics, so the primary rule of handling data stream is to check once and dispose it. For those characteristics, users are more interested in high support attribute values observed rather than the entire attribute values over data streams. This paper propose dynamic data cube for applying data cube to data stream environment. Dynamic data cube specify user's interested area by the support ratio of attribute value, and dynamically manage the attribute values by grouping each other. By doing this it reduce the memory usage and process time. And it can efficiently shows or emphasize user's interested area by increasing the granularity for attributes that have higher support. We perform experiments to verify how efficiently dynamic data cube works in limited memory usage.

Magnesium diboride ($MgB_2$) is an inexpensive and simple superconductor. This material was first synthesized and its structure confirmed in 1953 but its superconducting properties were not discovered until 2001 when they caused great excitement. In this study, superconducting $MgB_2$ thin films on the r-$Al_{2}O_3$ substrates have been grown by the combination of radio frequency magnetron sputtering of B and thermal evaporation of Mg. The deposition conditions were varied by changing deposition rate. Before the co-deposition of Mg and B, the deposition rates of each element have been measured separately. The $MgB_2$ layers had 400nm in thickness and superconducting transition temperatures have been measured around $\sim$38.6K. Superconducting properties have been measured by PPMS, XRD, and SEM.

The twisted cube has received great attention as an interconnection network of parallel systems because it has several superior properties, especially in diameter, to the hypercube. It was recently known that, for even m, a mesh of size $2{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1 and expansion 1 and a mesh of size $4{\times}2^m$ with dilation 1 and expansion 2 [Lai and Tsai, 2008]. However, as we know, it has been a conjecture that a mesh with more than eight rows and columns can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1. In this paper, we show that a mesh of size $2^n{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1 and expansion $2^{n-1}$ for even m and with dilation 1 and expansion $2^n$ for odd m where $1{\leq}n{\leq}m$.

The 2009 revised national mathematics curriculum have inserted mathematical 'linking cube' activities in the 6th grade math classes to improve students' spatial problem solving abilities and communication skills. However, we found that it was hard for teachers to teach problem solving and communication skills due to the absence of mathematical way of representing linking cubes in the classroom. In this paper, we propose 3D 'turtle representation system' as teaching and learning tools for linking cube activities. After using turtle representation system for linking cube activities, teachers responded that turtle representation system is a valuable problem solving and communication tools for the linking cube mathematics classes. We conclude that turtle representation system is a well designed teaching and learning tools for linking cube activities, and there are lots of educational meanings in the 3D turtle representation system.

The crossed cube has received great attention because it has equal or superior properties to the hypercube that is widely known as a versatile parallel processing system. It has been known that a mesh of size $2{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a crossed cube with dilation 1 and expansion 1 and a mesh of size $4{\times}2^m$ with dilation 1 and expansion 2. However, as we know, it has been a conjecture that a mesh with more than eight rows and columns can be embedded into a crossed cube with dilation 1. In this paper, we show that a mesh of size $2^n{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a crossed cube with dilation 1 and expansion $2^{n-1}$ where $n{\geq}1$ and $m{\geq}3$.

This study measured the radio environment of 10 domestic institutions with CubeSat ground stations for 24 hours in three frequency bands (VHF/UHF/S-band) allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The impact of the RF environment around the ground stations on CubeSat downlink frequencies was analysed and compared with acceptable interference noise requirements from the CubeSat RF link. The findings indicate that not only the selection of downlink frequency but also the configuration of RF communication link design and ground station system of CubeSat should consider the S-band RF environment around the ground station due to the presence of several wireless devices.

CubeSats are being utilized in various fields such as Earth observation, space exploration, and verification of space science and technology due to their low cost, short development period, enhanced mission-oriented performance, and ability to perform various missions through constellation and formation flights. Recently, as the availability of CubeSats has increased and their application areas have expanded, the demand for high-speed transmission of large amounts of data obtained by CubeSats has increased unprecedentedly. Laser-based free space optical communication technology is capable of transmitting large amounts of data at high speeds compared to the existing radio communication methods, and provides various advantages such as use of unlicensed spectrum, low cost, low power, high security characteristics, and of use a small communication platform. For this reason, it is suitable as a high-performance communication technology to support CubeSat missions. In this paper, we will present the core components and characteristics of CubeSat-based space laser communication system, and recent research trends, as well as representative technology development results.
