This study proposes strategies for information requirements analysis (IRA) for successful agricultural management information system (MIS) development. The study frist defines IRA based on literature review and emphasizes the importance of IRA by its position in SDLC (System Developments Life Cycle). Then, the study reviews fifteen cases of agricultural MIS development projects appeared in the report of all the MIS related ARPC(Agricultural R&D Promotion Center) projects from 1995 to 1998 and finds that IRA is not properly performed in most of the projects. Finally, this study proposes seven strategies for IRA for successful agricultural MIS development based on the finding of this study and those from the literature related to IRA methods.

This paper presents a method for constructing a pipeline-aware quasi-cyclic irregular repeat accumulate low-density parity-check (PA-QC-IRA-LDPC) codes and efficient rate-1/2 (2016, 1008) PA-QC-IRA-LDPC decoder architecture. A novel pipeline scheduling method is proposed. The proposed methods efficiently reduce the critical path using pipeline without any bit error rate (BER) degradation. The proposed pipeline-aware LDPC decoder provides a significant improvement in terms of throughput, hardware efficiency, and energy efficiency. Synthesis and layout of the proposed architecture is performed using 90-nm CMOS standard cell technology. The proposed architecture shows more than 53% improvement of area efficiency and much better energy efficiency compared to the previously reported architectures.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate body temperature changes in rabbits anesthetized using water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA). Ten rabbits were used for this study. For the experimental group (wIRA group; wG, n = 5), the experimental equipment was used and irradiated using wIRA. The control group (CG, n = 5) did not have any warming device. There were no significant differences in heart rate, respiration rate, and end tidal CO₂ (EtCO₂) between wG and CG. After 80 min, the core body temperature of wG rabbits was significantly higher than that of CG rabbits. The surface body temperature was significantly higher while receiving wIRA support at all time points after 5 min. In conclusion, in rabbits under inhalation anesthesia, the surface body temperature was better maintained than the core body temperature when using wIRA.

In this paper, we concentrate on reducing the complexity for efficient encoder. We design structural LDPC code using circulant matrix and permutation matrix and eIRA code. It is possible to design low complex encoder by using shift register and differential encoder and interleaver than general LDPC encoder that use matrix multiplication operation. The code designed by this structure shows similar performance as random code. And the proposed codes can considerably reduce a number of XOR gates.

We propose a framework called Stacked Gated Recurrent Unit - Infrequent Residual Analysis (SG-IRA) that detects anomalies in time-series data that can be trained on streams of raw sensor data without any pre-labeled dataset. To enable such unsupervised learning, SG-IRA includes an estimation model that uses a stacked Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) structure and an analysis method that detects anomalies based on the difference between the estimated value and the actual measurement (residual). SG-IRA's residual analysis method dynamically adapts the detection threshold from the population using frequency analysis, unlike the baseline model that relies on a constant threshold. In this paper, SG-IRA is evaluated using the industrial control systems (ICS) datasets. SG-IRA improves the detection performance (F1 score) by 5.9% compared to the baseline model.

The changes in fatty acid composition of total intramuscular lipid and phospholipids were investigated in the longissimus dorsi, left-hind leg muscle, and abdominal muscle of male Ira rabbits. Changes were monitored at 35, 45, 60, 75, and 90 d. Analysis using gas chromatography identified 21 types of fatty acids. Results showed that the intramuscular lipid increased and the intramuscular phospholipids (total intramuscular lipid %) decreased in all muscles with increasing age (p<0.05). An abundant amount of unsaturated fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids, was distributed in male Ira rabbits at different ages and muscles. Palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2), and arachidonic acid (C20:4) were the major fatty acids, which account to the dynamic changes of the n-6/n-3 value in Ira rabbit meat.

Against environmental stresses, many bacteria utilize the alternate sigma factor RpoS that induces transcription of the specific set of genes helpful in promoting bacterial survival. Intracellular levels of RpoS are determined mainly by its turnover through proteolysis of ClpXP protease. Delivery of RpoS to ClpXP strictly requires the adaptor protein RssB. The two-component-type response regulator RssB constantly interacts with RpoS, but diverse environmental changes inhibit this interaction through modification of RssB activity, which increases RpoS levels in bacteria. This review discusses and summarizes recent findings on regulatory factors in RssB-RpoS interactions, including IraD, IraM, IraP anti-adaptor proteins of RssB and phosphorylation of N-terminal receiver domain of RssB. New information shows that the coordinated regulation of RssB activity in controlling RpoS turnover confers efficient bacterial defense against stresses.

Low density parity check (LDPC) code, first introduced by Gallager and re-discovered by MacKay et al, has attracted researcher's interest mainly due to their performance and low decoding complexity. It was remarkable that the performance is very close to Shannon capacity limit under the assumption of having long codeword length and iterative decoder. However, comparing to turbo codes widely used in the current mobile communication, the encoding complexity of LDPC codes has been regarded as the drawback. This paper proposes a solution for DVB-S2 LDPC encoder to reduce the encoder latency. We use the fast IRA encoder that use the transformation of the parity check matrix into block-wise form and the partial parallel process to reduce the number of system clocks for the IRA code encoding. We compare the proposed encoder with the current DVB-S2 encoder to show that the performance of proposal is better than that of the current DVB-S2 encoder.

The object of this experiment is to recover precious metals from plating rinsed wastewater generated from Lead Frame manufacturing process using electrolysis coupled hybrid process. This was achieved from Amberlite IRA 400 at 1.15 V electrolysis potential using the oxide electrode and at 1.30 V using the Al electrode and from Amberlite IRA 402 at 1.10 V using the oxide electrode and at 1.20 V using the Al electrode. During the first 10~30 min of the process, 90~95% of the silver can be recovered.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) derived from Bacillus macerans was immobilized by (1) covalent linkage on chitosan and chitin with glutaraldehyde, (2) adsorption on DEAE-cellulose and Amberite IRA 900 after succinylation, and (3) entrapment on alginate and polyacrylamide by cross linking. Adsorption on Amberite IRA 900 and covalent linking on chitosan were identified to be the most suitable immobilization methods considering the yield of activity and stability of immobilized CGTase. The enzymatic properties of immobilized CGTase were investigated and compared with those of the soluble CGTase. Thermal stability of CGTase immobilized on chitosan was increased from 50 to $55^{\circ}C$, and the optimum temperature of CGTase immobilized on Amberite IRA 900 was shifted from 55 to $50^{\circ}C$. The effect of molecular size of soluble starch (substrate) on immobilized CGTase investigated using partially liquefied substrates with different dextrose equivalent(DE). Cyclodextrin(CD) conversion yield augmented according to the increase of DE level for immobilized CGTase on Amberite IRA 900. CD conversion yield of partially cyclized starch with soluble CGTase was higher compared with liquefied one with ${\alpha}-amylase$.
