Since large objects consume substantial resources, web proxy caching incurs a fundamental trade-off between performance (i.e., hit-ratio and latency) and overhead (i.e., resource usage), in terms of caching and relaying large objects to users. This paper investigates how and to what extent the current dedicated-server based web proxy caching scheme is affected by large file transfers in a high bandwidth campus network environment. We use a series of trace-based performance analyses and profiling of various resource components in our experimental squid proxy cache server. Large file transfers often overwhelm our cache server. This causes a bottleneck in a web network, by saturating the network bandwidth of the cache server. Due to the requests for large objects, response times required for delivery of concurrently requested small objects increase, by a factor as high as a few million, in the worst cases. We argue that this cache bandwidth bottleneck problem is due to the fundamental limitations of the current centralized web proxy caching model that scales poorly when there are a limited amount of dedicated resources. This is a serious threat to the viability of the current web proxy caching model, particularly in a high bandwidth access network, since it leads to sporadic disconnections of the downstream access network from the global web network. We propose a peer-to-peer cooperative web caching scheme to address the cache bandwidth bottleneck problem. We show that it performs the task of caching and delivery of large objects in an efficient and cost-effective manner, without generating significant overheads for participating peers.

본 연구는 신규로 구축 된 장비의 정확성과 PVT 제품의 KS 기준의 방향성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 신규로 구축된 Indoor solar thermal simulator의 경우, 인공광의 빔 균일도와 분광 특성을 기존의 규격 조건을 충족되도록 설계했으며, 실제 시험을 통해 B 등급임을 확인하였다. Indoor solar thermal simulator 장비의 정확도는 상용 태양광 모듈 및 기존 상용 장비로 측정 후, 최대 전력값을 비교했으며 오차 값은 약 0.4%로 정확도가 높음을 확인하였다. PVT 제품의 효율은 기존의 태양광 모듈 KS 기준과 태양열 집열기 KS 기준을 준용하여 측정하면 될 것으로 보이며, PVT 제품의 구조적 특징인 열매체 냉각에 의한 추가 전기 효율 방법 개발은 필요해 보이며, 본 연구에서는 태양광 모듈 케이블의 단락 유무에 따른 효율 상승 차이를 살펴보았고 추가 전기 효율 측정 방법으로 가능성을 제시하였다. 다양한 PVT 모듈의 유형에 따라 특히, PVT 모듈 전면에 유리 커버 유무에 따라 출력 감소가 발생되고 추가 공정에 의해 전기 출력 특성이 달라지는 값을 고려하여 PVT 제품의 전기 효율 측정 시험은 인증을 받은 제품을 이용하여 제작을 했어도 반드시 재시험이 필요하다고 판단되며, 시험방법이 수립되어야한다. 마지막으로 PVT 제품의 내구성 평가를 경우, 기존의 태양광 모듈 및 집열기의 내구성 시험의 모든항목을 KS 인증 시험 항목에 포함 시켜야 된다고 판단되며, 제품의 특성에 따라 시험의 재배열을 추가 연구가 필요해 보이며, 집열기 부분의 내구성을 고려하여 합부 기준을 추가적으로 고려해야 한다고 판단된다.

Retrieval effectiveness is the principal criterion for measuring the performance of an information retrieval system. The effectiveness of a retrieval system depends primarily on the extent to which it can retrieve wanted documents without retrieving unwanted ones. So, ultimately, effectiveness is a function of the relevant and nonrelevant documents retrieved. Consequently, 'relevance' of information to the user's request has become one of the most fundamental concept encountered in the theory of information retrieval. Although there is at present no consensus as to how this notion should be defined, relevance has been widely used as a meaningful quantity and an adequate criterion for measures of the evaluation of retrieval effectiveness. The recall and precision among various parameters based on the 'two-by-two' table (or, contingency table) were major considerations in this paper, because it is assumed that recall and precision are sufficient for the measurement of effectiveness. Accordingly, different concepts of 'relevance' and 'pertinence' of documents to user requests and their proper usages were investigated even though the two terms have unfortunately been used rather loosely in the literature. In addition, a number of variables affecting the recall and precision values were discussed. Some conclusions derived from this study are as follows: Any notion of retrieval effectiveness is based on 'relevance' which itself is extremely difficult to define. Recall and precision are valuable concepts in the study of any information retrieval system. They are, however, not the only criteria by which a system may be judged. The recall-precision curve represents the average performance of any given system, and this may vary quite considerably in particular situations. Therefore, it is possible to some extent to vary the indexing policy, the indexing policy, the indexing language, or the search methodology to improve the performance of the system in terms of recall and precision. The 'inverse relationship' between average recall and precision could be accepted as the 'fundamental law of retrieval', and it should certainly be used as an aid to evaluation. Finally, there is a limit to the performance(in terms of effectiveness) achievable by an information retrieval system. That is : "Perfect retrieval is impossible."

Graphene, two-dimensional one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice, exhibits fascinating electrical properties, such as a linear energy dispersion relation and high mobility in addition to a wide-range optical absorption and high thermal conductivity. Graphene's outstanding tensile strength allows graphene-based electronic and photonic devices to be flexible, bendable, or even stretchable. Recently many groups have reported high performance electronic and optoelectronic devices based on graphene materials, i.e. field-effect transistors, gas sensors, nonvolatile memory devices, and plasmonic waveguides, in which versatile properties of graphene materials have been incorporated into a flexible electronic or optoelectronic platform. However, there are several fundamental or technological hurdles to be overcome in real applications of graphene in electronics and optoelectronics. In this tutorial we will present a short introduction to the basic material properties and recent progresses in applications of graphene to electronics and optoelectronics and discuss future outlook of graphene-based devices.

In addition to its strong oxidizing power, the ozone has definite advantages over other commercial oxidants, namely, no undesirable by- products or residues are formed. With growing interest in the improvement of the ozone production in the industrial fields, many types of ozonizer using the electrical discharges have been proposed for the higher efficiency and the higher Performance at atmospheric Pressure. Among them, a superposition of different type discharges has been proposed. Especially, since the improvement for the low efficiency of dc discharge and narrow gap of surface discharge is required, a do and an at voltage are applied to same reaction space (or volume) to increase energy density at the same space. An investigation was focused on the superposition with a dc (streamer) corona and 3 surface discharge. This paper describes the investigation results on fundamental ozone generation characteristics by this superimposed discharge.

This is the study on the performance of workability and engneering properties of flowing concrete using the superplasticizers, which are being used for control of the consistency of fresh concrete without modifying the properties of the hardened concrete and for production of high quality concrete at a low water-cement ratio. It is the aim of this study to analyze and investigate workability and engineering properties of flowing concrete according to the addition rate in poor and rich mix proportions of base concrete. Base on this fundamental investigation for the development of flowing concrete mix design, it could be drawn that the workability and engineering properties of flowing concreteare influenced greatly by mix proportion and dosage of superplasticizers.

In this paper, a third-order harmonic mixer is designed using frequency multiplier theory for the Ka-band. The gate bias voltage is selected by frequency multiplier theory to maximize the third-order harmonic element ofthe fundamental LO frequency in the proposed mixer. The designed mixer has a gate mixer structure composed of a gate terminal input for the fundamental local signal ($f_{LO}$), RF signal (${RF}$) and a drain terminal output for the harmonic frequency ($3f_{LO}-f_{RF}$) respectively. The Ka-band harmonic mixer is designed and fabricated using a commercial GaAs MESFET device with a plastic package. The proposed mixer will provide a solution for the problems found in the high cost, complex circuitry in a conventional Ka-band mixer. The 33.5 GHz harmonic mixer has a -10 dB conversion gain by pumping 11.5 GHz LO with a +5 dBm level.

In this paper, a new DC offset elimination filter is proposed for an accurate phasor extraction of fundamental frequency component. The proposed method can eliminate a DC offset component which is decayed exponentially. The proposed method uses only one cycle of data for phasor extraction computation, which does not need to preset the time constant of the DC offset component. Also, the other advantages of the proposed method is that gain compensation or phase compensation is not required after filtering. Simulations using ATP were performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed filter method, and the results were compared to the ones obtained by conventional methods.

There have been numerous studies on the enhancement of the noisy speech signal. In this paper, we propose a completely new speech enhancement scheme, that is, a filtering of a dissonant frequency (especially F# in each octave of the tempered scale) based on the fundamental frequency which is developed in frequency domain. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed enhancement scheme, subjective tests (MOS tests) were conducted. The subjective test results indicate that the proposed method provides a significant gain in audible improvement especially for speech contaminated by colored noise and speaking in a husky voice. Therefore when the filter is employed as a pre-filter for speech enhancement, the output speech quality and intelligibility is greatly enhanced.

This study investigated influence of kind of fine aggregate on fundamental properties of concrete. For the properties of fluidity with various type of fine aggregate, lime stone crushed fine aggregate(Ls) exhibited favorable result, due to grain shape and particle distribution, and next was granite crushed fine aggregate(Gs), natural fine aggregate(Ns). Ns had the highest value of air content while Ls had the lowest, due to the effective filling performance by continuos particle distribution. Ls, Ns, Gs in an order had higher bleeding capacity and faster setting time. However, compressive and tensile strength value exhibited similar tendency, regardless of aggregate type.
