A robot system for clone replication and gridding, which is a preliminary state of the genome research, was developed and evaluated its performance. This gridding robot system consisted of 1) a gridding heat that replicated the clone, 2) a manipulator, as a part of body of robot, which transferred the gridding head along x-, y-, z-axis, 3) a well plate arranging board, 4) a sterilization unit, and 5) a control unit. Performance of the system was evaluated with 1) repeatability of the robot system, 2) clone replication efficiency, 3) time requirement of the replication, and 4) sterilization efficiency. The repeatability error of the robot system showed 0.219 mm and 0.094 mm in the direction of x- and y-axis, respectively. The success rate of the clone replication with the gridding head was 100% on the membrane filter. The time required for the replication was four minutes and fifty-five seconds from the four 96 well plates to a 384 well plate meanwhile the required time with well experienced hand labor was three minutes thirty-five seconds. The gridding operation of clone could not be done by hand labor and the required time with robot system for the gridding on the membrance filter with the control program 5$\times$5: 1 copy and 384 gridding pins was twenty minutes and twenty-five seconds. The efficiency of the sterilization was considered to be satisfactory since no growth of fungi was found around the area of replication in the membrane filter.

3D point data is utilized in various industry domains for its high accuracy to the surface information of an object. It is substantially utilized in geography for terrain scanning and analysis. Generally, 3D point data need to be changed by Gridding which produces a regularly spaced array of z values from irregularly spaced xyz data. But it requires long processing time and high resource cost to interpolate grid coordination. Kriging interpolation in Gridding has attracted because Kriging interpolation has more accuracy than other methods. However it haven't been used frequently since a processing is complex and slow. In this paper, we presented a parallel Gridding algorithm which contains Kriging and an application of grid data structure to fit MapReduce paradigm to this algorithm. Experiment was conducted for 1.6 and 4.3 billions of points from Airborne LiDAR files using our proposed MapReduce structure and the results show that the total execution time is decreased more than three times to the convention sequential program on three heterogenous clusters.

In a grid based data transformation, the different gridding methods provide different interpretations of scattered data because each method calculate grid node values using a different weighted mathematical algorithms. Therefore, it is necessary to review the interpolated characteristics of some gridding methods according to search distance, search area and search options before determing the best method with a data set. For this, in this paper, six different gridding methods with the same search conditions are applied to a scattered data obtained from sterro-plotter. The interpolated characteristics of the scattered geographic data considered through comparison of coincidence between the data point and the grid node being interpolated. And also, shows the real application of gridding methods through calculating volumes and creating cross sections.

One of the dominant aspects governing the accuracy of the FDTD method is the size of the spatial increment used in the model. The effect of having reduced cell size is to increase the computational time and memory requirements. To overcome these problems, sub-gridding technique can be used. This implies that the application of a sub-grid cell would provide improved accuracy without increasing the run time and computer resources considerably. In this paper, we describe the three dimensional sub-gridding technique that is applied to model only the fine structure region of interest. The detailed solution procedure is described and some test geometries were solved by both uniform grid and sub-grid models to validate the suggested approach. While keeping the accuracy, the computational time becomes 6 times faster and the memory requirement is reduced by a factor of 2.5 comparing to the conventional FDTD approach.

Microarray which enables us to obtain hundreds and thousands of expression of gene or genotype at once is an epoch-making technology in comparative analysis of genes. First of all, we have to measure the intensity of each gene in an microarray image from the experiment to gain the expression level of each gene. But it is difficult to analyze the microarray image in manual because it has a lot of genes. Meta-gridding method and various auto-gridding methods have been proposed for this, but thew still have some problems. For example, meta-gridding requires manual-work due to some variations in spite of experiment in same microarray, and auto-gridding nay not carried out fully or correctly when an image has a lot of noises or is lowly expressed. In this article, we propose Hierarchical Grid Alignment algorithm for new methodology combining meta-gridding method with auto-gridding method. In our methodology, we necd a meta-grid as an input, and then align it with the microarray image automatically. Experimental results show that the proposed method serves more robust and reliable gridding result than the previous methods. It is also possible for user to do more reliable batch analysis by using our algorithm.

In this paper, a simple technique is presented for robust stability testing of perturbed DC-DC converters having multi-linear uncertainty structure. This technique provides a necessary and sufficient condition for testing robust stability. It is based on the corollary of Routh criterion and gridding of parameters. The previous work based on parametric control theory using Kharitonov's theorem and Hermite Biehler theorem gives conservative results and only the sufficient condition of stability, whereas the proposed method provides the necessary and sufficient condition for testing robust stability and it is computationally efficient. The superiority of the method is compared with the Edge theorem.

In this study, the peak stress of a fuillet in elastic structure was optimized to have minimum value by using quadratic isoparametric element. The method of auomatic gridding was also developed along with shape algorithm and design element technique was adopted in selecting design variables. The computer program developed was combined with the Hooke-Jeeves direct algorithm of optimization techniques in order to minimize the peak stress of the fillet. The imployment of design element technique significantly cut down computer time by the reduction in design variables, and the opitmum fillet shape with uniform minimum stress was obtained by varying design variables along x and y directions in improving the shape compared to other results. By using automatic gridding, in which Bezier surfaces and Coons surfaces of cubic interpolation were employed, the irregular boundary was removed resulting in smoother anbd more accurate fillet shape possessing uniform minimum stress.

Methods of geometric correction for the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer imagery of NOAA satellites were developed and applied to the software for image processing of meteorological satellite data. The software for finding the earth location of each scan position and the software for gridding on original imagery were dedigned. On the assumption of circular orbits and the spherical earth, the methods developed were sufficiently accurate in the purpose of most meteorological data analyses.
