  • Among all the slags, ladle furnace slag (LFS) is reducing slag generated from electric arc furnace. After cooled rapidly by high-pressured air (atomizing technology), LFS has more amorphous phase than slow cooled slag. Therefore, it shows higher reactivity than another recycling slag. This material also is named by rapid cooling LFS (RC-LFS). Pulverized RC-LFS should be fully understood. This paper deal with the present some basic experimental properties and discussions about the setting time of pulverized RC-LFS with different gypsum under the various temperatures. According to the experimental results, the pulverized RC-LFS with gypsum can hydrate in a low-temperature environment, even though the initial and final setting time are delayed.

  • We have developed an efficient system of assessing the ability of a gene silencing cassette to silence transcripts from recalcitrant or poorly studied plant species by using a model plant as a host for the gene of interest. Tobacco plants transgenic for Lachrymatory Factor Synthase (LFS) enzyme activity from onion were first produced by introducing a CaMV 35S-onion-lfs gene construct. These plants were then subjected to a second transformation with an RNAi construct directed against the lfs gene sequence. LFS enzyme activity assay showed that the transgenic plants, containing both the lfs gene and the RNAi construct, had significantly reduced LFS activity. This observation was supported by Western analysis for the LFS protein and further validated by quantitative RT-PCR analysis that demonstrated a significant reduction in the lfs transcript level in the dual transformants. In this work, we have demonstrated that the RNAi construct is a suitable candidate for the development of a non-lachrymatory onion. Our model plant RNAi system has wide-reaching applications for assessment and targeting of plant secondary pathway genes, from poorly studied or recalcitrant plant species, that are important in the pharmacological, food and process industries.

  • With the recent wide adoption of Linux in the fields of IoT, embedded, mobile, desktop and server industries, the importances of understanding the Linux system architecture as well as customizing the Linux system are increasing very steeply. Accordingly, the capabilities of building every component of Linux system from source code files have been important. The LFS (Linux From Scratch) site[1] guides the steps of building the basic Linux system from source files. The steps consist of build host preparation step, temporary system building step, final system building step, and system configuration and boot preparation step. However, the underlying concepts behind the steps used in building LFS are difficult to understand, particularly to the beginner. This paper analyzes the LFS build steps and reveal the core build concepts and principles used in each step. Additionally, this paper shows the measured package build times obtained from our build experience.

  • The Log-structured File System (LFS) collects all modified data into a memory buffer and writes them sequentially to a segment on disk. Therefore, it has the potential to utilize the maximum bandwidth of storage devices where sequential writes are much faster than random writes. However, as disk space is finite, LFS has to conduct cleaning to produce free segments. This cleaning operation is the main reason LFS performance deteriorates when file system utilization is high. To overcome painful cleaning and reduced performance of LFS, we propose the segment space recycling (SSR) scheme that directly writes modified data to invalid areas of the segments and describe the classification method of data and segment to consider locality of reference for optimizing SSR scheme. We implement U-LFS, which employs our segment space recycling scheme in LFS, and experimental results show that SSR scheme increases performance of WOLF by up to 1.9 times in HDD and 1.6 times in SSD when file system utilization is high.

  • Log-Structured File System(LFS) is a disk based file system that is optimized for improving the write performance. LFS gathers dirty data in memory as long as possible, and flushes all dirty data sequentially at once. In a real system, however, maintaining dirty data in memory should be flushed into a disk to meet file system consistency issues even if more memory is still available. This synchronizations increase the cleaner overhead of LFS and make LFS to write down more metadata into a disk. In this paper, by adapting Non-volatile RAM(NV-RAM) we modifies LFS and virtual memory subsystem to guarantee that LFS could gather enough dirty data in the memory and reduce small disk writes. By doing so, we improves the performance of LFS by around 2.5 times than the original LFS.

  • Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an inherited autosomal-dominant tumor-predisposition disorder caused by germline mutations in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. Since patients with LFS are likely to develop therapy-related cancers, radiation therapy should be avoided if breast cancer is found in these individuals. Herein, we present a case of secondary breast cancer in an LFS patient after radiation and chemotherapy for the first diagnosed breast sarcoma.

  • Soybean (Glycine max L.) is one of the most widely planted and used legumes in the world, being used for food, animal feed products, and industrial production. The soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is the most prevalent virus infecting soybean plants. This study developed a diagnostic method for the rapid and sensitive detection of SMV using a reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) technique combined with a lateral flow strip (LFS). The RT-RPA and RT-RPA-LFS conditions to detect the SMV were optimized using the selected primer set that amplified part of the VPg protein gene. The optimized reaction temperature for the RT-RPA primer and RT-RPA-LFS primer used in this study was 38℃ for both, and the minimum reaction time was 10 min and 5 min, respectively. The RT-RPA-LFS was as sensitive as RT-PCR to detect SMV with 10 pg/µl of total RNA. The reliability of the developed RT-RPA-LFS assay was evaluated using leaves collected from soybean fields. The RT-RPA-LFS diagnostic method developed in this study will be useful as a diagnostic method that can quickly and precisely detect SMV in the epidemiological investigation of SMV, in the selection process of SMV-resistant varieties, on local farms with limited resources.

  • In this paper, the energy efficiency of a 4H-SiC UMOSFET with a local floating superjunction (LFS UMOSFET) was compared with a conventional P-shielding UMOSFET. For analysis, P-shielding UMOSFET and LFS UMOSFET were modeled for energy loss and junction temperature. As a result, LFS UMOSFET showed switching loss reduction of 20.6%. In addition, it was confirmed that LFS UMOSFET is applied to a 3-phase inverter, resulting in 33.2% lower power efficiency and 28.1% lower junction temperature than P-shielding UMOSFET. Electrical characteristics were simulated using Sentaurus TCAD, and the power circuit was simulated with the modelled UMOSFET using PSIM, a power circuit simulator.

  • Objective: Curdlan has been widely used as a gelling agent in various food systems. This study was performed to evaluate the rheological properties of pork myofibrillar protein (MP) with different levels of curdlan (0.5% to 1.5%) and its application to low-fat model sausages (LFS). Methods: MP mixtures were prepared with 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% of curdlan. Cooking loss (%), gel strength (gf), shear stress (Pa), and scanning electron microscopy were measured. Physicochemical and textural properties of LFS containing different levels of curdlan were measured. Results: The shear stress of MP mixtures increased with increasing levels of curdlan. MP gels with increased levels of curdlan decreased cooking loss and increased gel strength (p<0.05). The MPs with 1.0% and 1.5% of curdlan were observed more compact three-dimensional structure than those with 0.5% curdlan. Increased curdlan level in LFS affected redness ($a^{\star}$) and yellowness ($b^{\star}$) values. Although expressible moisture of LFS did not differ among curdlan levels, LFSs with various levels of curdlan decreased cooking loss as compared to control sausages. Hardness values (2,251 to 2,311 gf) of LFS with 0.5% and 1.0% curdlan was increased and differ from those (1,901 gf) of control sausages. Conclusion: The addition of 1.0% curdlan improved the functional and textural properties of LFS.
