In an effort to reduce energy consumption, research into adaptive power management in real-time systems has become widespread. In this paper, a novel dynamic voltage scaling scheme is proposed for multiprocessor systems. Based on the concept of the Nash bargaining solution, a processor's clock speed and supply voltage are dynamically adjusted to satisfy these conflicting performance metrics. In addition, the proposed algorithm is implemented to react adaptively to the current system conditions by using an adaptive online approach. Simulation results clearly indicate that the superior performance of the proposed scheme can strike the appropriate performance balance between contradictory requirements.

This paper is concerned with the current status and the prospectus of environmental investments in the manufacturing sector. A questionnaire survey was made to identify the concentrated fields of the investments. The collected data were analyzed by a multidimensional scaling method in order to provide a reasonable interpretation on the major factors which characterize the current situation and the prospectus of the investments as well as the relative position of each respondent company in a spatial map. The result tells us most respondents tend to concentrate their attention on end-of-pipe solutions due to technological tangibility and economic efficiency, etc.

In this paper, we reported the current technologies of water scaling removal and also water recovery from the flue gases, which are funded by Department of Energy (DOE), USA. Globally, water resources are limited due to the climate change. The potential impacts of climate change is food and water shortages. In the $21^{st}$ century, water shortages and pollution are expected to become more acute as populations grow and concentrate in cities. At present, the water stress increases over 62.0 ~ 75.8% of total water basin area and decreases over 19.7 ~ 29.0%. Many renewable energy sources demand secure water resources. Water is critical for successful climate change mitigation, as many efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions depend on reliable access to water resources. Water hardness is one of the major challenge to coal power plants. Department of energy (DOE) funded and encouraged for the development of advanced technologies for the removal of hardness of water (scaling) and also water recovery from the flue gases from coal power plants.

Scaling and similitude large scale structural member to small scale model is considered the most important matter for the experimental tests because of the difficulty in controlling, lack of capacities and expenses, furthermore that most of MSc and PhD students suffering from choosing the suitable specimen before starting their experimental study. The current study adopts to take large scale slab with opening as a case study of structural member where the slab is squared with central squared opening, the boundary condition is fixed from all sides, the load represents by four concentrated force in four corners of opening, as well as, the study adopts Buckingham theorem which has been used for scaling, all the parameters of the problem have been formed in dimensionless groups, the main groups have been connected by a relations, those relations are represented by force, maximum stress and maximum displacement. Finite element method by ANSYS R18.1 has been used for analyzing and forming relations for the large scale member. Prediction analysis has been computed for three small scale models by depending on the formed relations of the large scale member. It is found that Buckingham theorem is considered suitable way for creating relations among the parameters for any structural problem then making similitude and scaling the large scale members to small scale members. Finally, verification between the prediction and theoretical results has been done, it is observed that the maximum deviation between them is not more than 2.4%.

With the NAND Flash scaling down, it becomes more and more difficult to follow Moore's law to continue the scaling due to physical limitations. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) flash memories have introduced as an ideal solution for ultra-high-density data storage. In 3D flash memory, as the process reason, we need to use poly-Si TFTs instead of conventional transistors. So, after combining charge trap flash (CTF) structure and poly-Si TFTs, the emerging device SONOS-TFTs has also suffered from some reliability problem such as hot carrier degradation, charge-trapping-induced parasitic capacitance and resistance which both create interface traps. Charge pumping method is a useful tool to investigate the degradation phenomenon related to interface trap creation. However, the curves for charge pumping current in SONOS TFTs were far from ideal, which previously due to the fabrication process or some unknown traps. It needs an optimization and the important geometrical effect should be eliminated. In spite of its importance, it is still not deeply studied. In our work, base-level sweep model was applied in SONOS TFTs, and the nonideal charge pumping current was optimized by adjusting the gate pulse transition time. As a result, after the optimizing, an improved charge pumping current curve is obtained.

In phase-locked frequency synthesizers, a fast-lock technique is frequently employed to overcome the trade-off between a lock-time and a spurious response. The function of fast-lock in a conventional PLL (Phased Lock Loop) IC (Integrated Circuit) is limited by a factor of 16, which is usually implemented by a scaling of charge pumper, and consequently a lock time improvement of a factor of 4 is possible using the conventional PLL IC. In this paper, we propose a novel external active fast-lock loop filter. The proposed loop filter provides, conceptually, an unlimited scaling of charge pumper current, and can overcome conventional trade-off between lock-time and spur suppression. To demonstrate the validity of our proposed loop-filter, we fabricated an X-band frequency synthesizer using the proposed loop filter. The loop filter in the synthesizer is designed to have a loop bandwidth of 100 kHz in the fast-lock mode and a loop bandwidth of 5 kHz in the normal mode, which corresponds to a charge pumper current change ratio of 400. The X-band synthesizer shows successful performance of a lock-time of below 10 ${\mu}sec$ and reference spur suppression below -64 dBc.

원형 단면을 가진 축대칭형 토카막 핵융합로에 적합할 수 있는 최적의 이상적 자기유체역학 베타값과 운전조건의 결정 방법을 제시하였다. 토로이달 전류밀도 분포로 조정되는 운전조건을 변화시키면서 이상적 자기유체역학 안정성을 유지시킬 수 있는 베타값의 한계를 계산하였다. 토로이달 전류밀도 분포에는 실험적 관찰들로부터 얻은 실험식들이 사용되었고, 베타 값의 한계를 결정하기 위해 필요로 여러 식들이 이 실험식들로부터 유도되었다. 토로이달 전류밀도의 각각 다른 분포에 대해서 다양한 베타 한계값 분포들이 얻어졌다. 이상적 자기 유체 역학 불안정성들에 의해 제안받는 최대의 베타값을 토카막의 기하학적 변수와 안전인자에 의한 scaling law로 표현하였다.

이 연구는 20명의 치위생과 학생들을 대상으로 스켈링 실습 시 발현되는 근육들의 활성도와 통증부위를 파악하여 치과위생사의 작업자세에 따른 기초자료를 제시하고자 연구를 실시하였다. 스켈링 시 근활성도의 측정은 free EMG를 이용하였고, 근골격계 통증부위를 알아보기 위해 Nordicstyle 설문지를 이용하여 측정된 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 자세에 따른 스켈링 시 통증의 발현은 팔꿈치, 등, 다리, 무릎, 발목/발은 그룹간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 목, 어깨, 손목/손, 허리에서는 자세에 따라 통증의 정도 차이가 높게 나타났다. 2. 자세에 따른 근활성도를 측정한 결과 올바른 자세를 가진 그룹에서는 시간의 경과에 따라 상승모근과 상완요골근에서 변화를 보였고, 나쁜 자세를 가진 그룹에서는 후두부근, 상승모근, 상완요골근에서 근활성도가 높게 나타났다. 3. 근활성도에서 두 군간의 변화양상은 좋은 자세로 스켈링을 실시한 그룹에서는 낮은 근활성도를 보였으나, 나쁜자세로 스켈링을 실시한 그룹에서는 근활성도가 과하게 증가되었다. 따라서 올바른 자세를 유지하며 스켈링을 실시하는 것이 근육의 활성을 효과적으로 사용하는데 도움이 되었음을 알수 있었고, 앞으로 임상에서 근무하는 치과위생사를 대상으로 연구를 실시하여 직무 효율성을 높이는 것이 필요하리라 생각된다.

본 연구는 중소사업장에 종사하는 생산직 근로자를 대상으로 치석제거 경험 관련요인을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 조사대상은 광주광역시 188개 중소기업 중 편의추출법으로 5개 사업장을 선정하여 사업장에 근무하는 근로자 455명을 대상으로 자가 보고형 설문조사를 통해 일반적 특성과 근무관련특성, 치석제거 경험 등을 조사하였다. 빈도분석, t-검정, 교차분석, 다중로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 대상자의 최근 1년 이내 치석제거 경험은 47.0%였으며, 근로자의 연령이 낮은 경우(aOR, 3.09; 95% CI, 1.60~5.96), 직위가 높은 경우(aOR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.55~4.63), 구강건강에 대한 관심도가 높은 경우(aOR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.02~4.52), 최근 1년간 정기적인 구강 검진 경험이 있는 경우(aOR, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.50~5.11), 치석제거 건강보험급여화를 인지하고 있는 경우(aOR, 2.91; 95% CI, 1.80~4.72)가 치석제거 경험의 가능성이 높았다. 결론적으로 치석제거 경험은 47.0%로 비교적 낮았으며, 치석제거 경험에 관련된 요인들은 연령, 직위, 사용 중인 구강관리보조용품, 정기적인 구강검진, 구강질환으로 인한 조퇴 경험, 치석제거 급여화 인지여부였다. 이러한 요인들을 고려하여 근로자의 근무환경 개선 및 치석제거의 인식도 향상을 통해 치석제거 경험률을 높인다면 향후 근로자들의 치주관리에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.
