Background: Tetrahedral-mesh geometries can be used in the MCNP code, but the MCNP code accepts only the geometry in the Abaqus input file format; hence, the existing tetrahedral-mesh models first need to be converted to the Abacus input file format to be used in the MCNP code. In the present study, we developed a simple but useful computer program, TET2MCNP, for converting TetGen-generated tetrahedral-mesh models to the Abacus input file format. Materials and Methods: TET2MCNP is written in C++ and contains two components: one for converting a TetGen output file to the Abacus input file and the other for the reverse conversion process. The TET2MCP program also produces an MCNP input file. Further, the program provides some MCNP-specific functions: the maximum number of elements (i.e., tetrahedrons) per part can be limited, and the material density of each element can be transferred to the MCNP input file. Results and Discussion: To test the developed program, two tetrahedral-mesh models were generated using TetGen and converted to the Abaqus input file format using TET2MCNP. Subsequently, the converted files were used in the MCNP code to calculate the object- and organ-averaged absorbed dose in the sphere and phantom, respectively. The results show that the converted models provide, within statistical uncertainties, identical dose values to those obtained using the PHITS code, which uses the original tetrahedral-mesh models produced by the TetGen program. The results show that the developed program can successfully convert TetGen tetrahedral-mesh models to Abacus input files. Conclusion: In the present study, we have developed a computer program, TET2MCNP, which can be used to convert TetGen-generated tetrahedral-mesh models to the Abaqus input file format for use in the MCNP code. We believe this program will be used by many MCNP users for implementing complex tetrahedral-mesh models, including computational human phantoms, in the MCNP code.

KBANN (knowledge-based artificial neural network) combining the analytical learning and the inductive learning has been shown to be more effective than other machine learning models. However KBANN doesn't have the theory refinement ability because the topology of network can't be altered dynamically. Although TopGen was proposed to extend the ability of KABNN in this respect, it also had some defects. The algorithms which could solve this TopGen's defects, enabling the refinement of theory, by extending KBANN, are designed.

In the anti-collision scheme proposed by EPCglobal Class-1 Gen-2 standard, the frame size for a query round is determined by Q-algorithm. In the Q-algorithm, the reader calculates a frame size without estimating the number of tags in it's identification range. It uses only the slot status. Therefore, Q-algorithm has advantage that the reader's algorithm is simpler than other algorithms. However, it cannot allocate an optimized frame size because it does not consider the number of tags. Also, the conventional Q-algorithm does not define an optimized parameter value C for adjusting the frame size. In this paper, we propose a modified Q-algorithm and evaluate the performance with computer simulations. The proposed Q-algorithm estimates the number of tags at every query round, and determines the parameter value C based on the estimated number of tags.

To investigate the origin and action mechanism of cytoplasmic factors as regulators of morphogenesis, the embryonic development, RNA synthesis and protein phosphorylation were examined in reconstituted embryos. A half of 1-cell mouse embryo with both pronuclei was electrofused with the enucleated cytoplasm of 1- or 2-cell embryos which were cultured for 24 hrs from post 20 hrs hCG in CZB with or without cycloheximide (CHX, an inhibitor of protein synthesis; P+P-CHX group), genistein (Gen, an inhibitor of tyrosine protein kinase; P+2-Gen group) and 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP, an inhibitor of serine-threonine protein kinase; P＋2-DMAP group), and co-cultured with Vero cells for 5 days. And their development, cell numbers at compaction, [5, 6-$^3$H]-uridine incorporation into RNA and the pattern of protein phosphorylation after labeling of [$^{32}$ P] orthophosphate were compared with that of the reconstituted embryos such as P+2 or P+P (control group). Embryonic development and the time of RNA synthesis in P+P-CHX were similar to those in P+P. But the time and the cell stages of embryonic compaction in P+P-CHX were similar to those in P+2. The compaction was initiated at 4-cell in P+2 and P+2-Gen, but at 8-cell in P+P and P+2-DMAP. On a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, phosphorylation of 80KD and 110KD proteins were inhibited after 3 hrs of reconstruction in the embryo of P+2-DMAP when compared with that of P+2 and P+2-Gen. These results suggest that protein synthesis between 1- and 2-cell stage affects the timing of embryonic genome activation, and that cytoplasmic factors derived from oocyte or their modification regulates the time schedule of embryonic compaction in mouse. Also, serine-threonine protein kinase has an important role on the regulation of compaction.

Runway released an updated version, Gen-2, in March 2023, which introduced new features that are different from Gen-1: it can convert text and images into videos, or convert text and images together into video images based on text instructions. This update will be officially open to the public in June 2023, so more people can enjoy and use their creativity. With this new feature, users can easily transform text and images into impressive video creations. However, as with all new technologies, comes the instability of AI, which also affects the results generated by Runway. This article verifies the feasibility of using Runway to generate the desired video from several aspects through personal practice. In practice, I discovered Runway generation problems and propose improvement methods to find ways to improve the accuracy of Runway generation. And found that although the instability of AI is a factor that needs attention, through careful adjustment and testing, users can still make full use of this feature and create stunning video works. This update marks the beginning of a more innovative and diverse future for the digital creative field.

The ubiquitous, which is developed for human's convenience, uses the concept of situation awareness that communicates with computer and performs a certain work without user's recognition. In order to collect the information of situation, many devices are required. Also, in the condition of ubiquitous middleware, priority is given to effective controls of various devices. There are many devices for collecting the information of situation awareness such as sensor, RFID, etc. Among them, in the use of RFID, the researcher performed the experiment, in which multiple readers were used depending on the necessity of awareness information, and found the problem of intervention between readers occurring when multiple readers are used. The paper handles the problem of intervention causing from using multiple readers and suggests middleware design module using session manager to solve the problem.

This paper describes a Fcore_GenSim(Parameterized FFT Core Generation & Simulation Program), which can be used as an essential If(Intellectual Property) in various OFDM modem designs. The Fcore_Gensim is composed of two parts, a parameterized core generator(PFFT_CoreGen) that generates Verilog-HDL models of FFT cores, and a fixed-point FFT simulator(FXP_FFTSim) which can be used to estimate the SQNR performance of the generated cores. The parameters that can be specified for core generation are FFT length in the range of 64 ~2048-point and word-lengths of input/output/internal/twiddle data in the range of 8-b "24-b with 2-b step. Total 43,659 FFT cores can be generated by Fcore_Gensim. In addition, CBFP(Convergent Block Floating Point) scaling can be optionally specified. To achieve an optimized hardware and SQNR performance of the generated core, a hybrid structure of R2SDF and R2SDC stages and a hybrid algorithm of radix-2, radix-2/4, radix-2/4/8 are adopted according to FFT length and CBFP scaling.

This paper describes bandwidth linearization techniques in phase-locked loop (PLL) design for common-clock serial link applications. Utilizing a continuously tunable single-input dual-path LC VCO and a constant-gain phase detector, a proposed architecture is well suited to implementing PLLs that must be compliant with standards that specify minimum and maximum allowable bandwidths such as PCI Express Gen2 or FB-DIMM applications. A prototype 4.75 to 6.1-GHz PLL is implemented in 90-nm CMOS. Measurement results show that the PLL bandwidth and random jitter (RJ) variations are well regulated and that the use of a differentially controlled dual-path VCO is important for deterministic jitter (DJ) performance.

A multiplier generator, VPM_Gen (Variable-Precision Multiplier Generator), which generates Verilog-HDL models of multiplier cores with user-defined bit-width specification, is described. The bit-widths of operands are parameterized in the range of $8-bit{\sim}32-bit$ with 1-bit step, and the product from multiplier core can be truncated in the range of $8-bit{\sim}64-bit$ with 2-bit step, resulting that the VPM_Gen can generate 3,455 multiplier cores. In the case of truncating multiplier output, by eliminating the circuits corresponding to the truncation part, the gate counts and power dissipation can be reduced by about 40% and 30%, respectively, compared with full-precision multiplier. As a result, an area-efficient and low-power multiplier core can be obtained. To minimize truncation error, an adaptive error-compensation method considering the number of truncation bits is employed. The multiplier cores generated by VPM_Gen have been verified using Xilinx FFGA board and logic analyzer.
