Understanding the thermal conductivity and heat transfer processes in superlattice structures is critical for the development of thermoelectric materials and optoelectronic devices based on quantum structures. $Chen^{(1)}$ developed ballistic diffusive equation(BDE) for alternatives of the Boltzmann equation that can be applied to the complex geometrical situation. In this study, a simulation code based on BDE is developed and applied to the 1-dimensional transient heat conduction across a thin film and transient 2-dimensional heat conduction across the film with heater. The obtained results are compared to the results of the $Chen^{(1)}$ and Yang and $Chen^{(1)}$. Finally, steady 2-dimensional heat conduction in the quantum dot superlattice are solved to obtain the equivalent thermal conductivity of the lattice and also compared with the experimental data from $Borca-Tasciuc^{(2)}$.

In this paper, we present some problems with the Groupware Messenger functionality based on dot net 2.0 and implement a new design structure to solve them. They include memory leakage, slow processing, and client window memory crash. These problems resulted in the inconvenience of using instant messaging and the inefficient handling of office tasks. Therefore, in this paper, instant messaging functionality is implemented according to a new design architecture. The new system upgrades dot net 4.5 for clients and deploys the new features based on MQTT for the messenger server. We verify that the memory leak problem and client window memory crash issues have been eliminated on the system with the new messenger functionality. We measure the amount of time it takes to bind data to a set of messages and evaluate the performance, compared to a given system. Through this comparative evaluation, we can see that the new system is more reliable and performing.

This paper presents the simulation and design of an all-optical subtractor using a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier Mach-Zehnder interferometer (QD-SOA MZI) structure consisting of two cascaded switches, the first of which produces the differential bit. Then the second switch produces the borrow bit by using the output of the first switch and the subtrahend data stream. Simulation results were obtained by solving the rate equations of the QD-SOA. The effects of QD-SOA length, peak power and current density have been investigated. The designed gate can operate at speeds of over 250 Gb/s. The simulation results demonstrate a high extinction ratio and a clear and wide-opening eye diagram.

현재 사용되는 디지털 신호처리 방식의 GPS(Global Positioning System) 수신기는 최소의 RF 블록만을 이용하여 모든 디지털 신호 처리를 소프트웨어로 수행하고 있다. 소프트웨어 GPS수신기의 장점으로는 디지털 신호처리 과정이 모두 소프트웨어로 구현되어 있기 때문에 새로운 구현 방식이나 알고리즘을 적용할 시, 하드웨어 변경은 필요가 없게 되고, 소프트웨어 재설계만으로 가능하다. GPS 수신기의 Tracking module 성능은 DLL discriminator function과 FLL discriminator function의 Algorithm에 의해서 영향을 받게 된다. DLL discriminator function algorithm에는 dot-product 와 normalized dot-product 방법 등이 있으며, FLL discriminator function algorithm에는 sign(dot)(cross)-product 와 cross-product 그리고 ATAN 방법이 있다. 이러한 discriminator function들은 algorithm에 따라 input error에 대한 discriminator의 출력 값을 일정한 범위에서의 차이를 나타내게 되면서 ranging accuracy에서 차이가 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Nordnav 소프트웨어 GPS 수신기를 이용하여 DLL discriminator algorithm과 FLL discriminator algorithm의 성능을 비교, 분석을 하고 Tracking accuracy, sensibility, 그리고 multipath rejection에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

We present a microfluidic chip designed for the detection of antibody by using quantum dots fluorescence and a microbead-based assay. A custom designed PDMS microfluidic chip with multi-layer channel is utilized for capturing microbeads; antibody injection into each micro-well; QD injection; and fluorescence detection. The experiment using the fabricated microfluidic chip has been performed on solutions with various concentrations of antibody and has shown correlated fluorescent intensities.

The effect of dissolved oxygen concentration on the metabolism of glucose in Pseudomonas putida BM014 was investigated. Glucose was completely converted to 2-ketogluconate via extracellular oxidative pathway and then taken up for cell growth under the condition of sufficient dissolved oxygen concentration. On the other hand, oxygen limitation below dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) value of 20% of air saturation caused the shift of glucose metabolism from the extracellular oxidative pathway to the intracellular phosphorylative pathway. Specific activities of hexokinase and gluconate kinase in intracellular phosphorylation pathway decreased as the DOT increased, while 2-ketogluconokinase activity in extracellular oxidative pathway increased under the same condition. This result can be usefully applied to microbial transformation of glucose to 2-ketogluconate, the synthetic precursor for iso-vitamine C, with almost 100% yield via extracellular oxidation by simple DOT control.

Over the last two decades, quantum dot (QD) solar cells have attracted much attention due to the unique properties of QDs, including band gap tunability, slow hot electron cooling, and multiple exiton generation effect. However, most of the QDs employed in photovoltaic devices contain toxic heavy-metals such as cadmium or lead, which may limit the commercial application. Therefore, recently, heavy-metal-free QDs such as Cu-In-S or Cu-In-Se have been developed for application in solar cells. Here, we review the research trends in heavy-metal-free QD solar cells, mainly focusing on Cu-In-Se QD-sensitized solar cells (QDSC).

We present a novel method for three-dimensional optical memory and microchannel embedded in fused silica glass. Three-dimensional dot patterning with a femtosecond laser pulse and observation with optical microscope are performed. Dot patterns are created by use of a 0.42 N.A. objective to focus 100 fs laser pulses inside the material. We demonstrate data storage with $2{\mu}m$ dot pitch and $7{\mu}m$layer spacing $(36 Gbit/cm^3)$. A three-dimensional microchannel acting as microfluidic and microoptical components is directly fabricated inside a silica glass. The optical micrographs of the microchannel are obtained by a digital camera of a microscope.

C-Reactive protein (CRP), which is an 118 kDa pentameric protein, was secreted by the liver is an important biomarker for coronary disease, hypertension and inflammation. In this study, a method for CRP detection exploiting quantum dot (Qdot)-antibody conjugate was developed according to an indirect-competitive immunosensing protocol. For this purpose, a streptavidin-bound $Qdot_{605}$ was linked with a separately prepared biotinylated monoclonal antirat CRP antibody to produce a Qdot-antibody conjugate. The immunosensing was performed at 0.1 and 20 nM of the coating antigen and conjugate, respectively. The current method was found very sensitive in CRP detection, judging from the concentration-dependent fluorescence emission.
