The performance of large scale software applications has been automatically increasing for last few decades under the influence of Moore's law - the number of transistors on a microprocessor roughly doubled every eighteen months. However, on-chip transistors limitations and heating issues led to the emergence of multicore processors. The energy efficient ARM based System-on-Chip (SoC) processors are being considered for future high performance computing systems. In this paper, we present a case study of two widely used parallel programming models i.e. MPI and MapReduce on distributed memory cluster of ARM SoC development boards. The case study application, Black-Scholes option pricing equation, was parallelized and evaluated in terms of power consumption and throughput. The results show that the Hadoop implementation has low instantaneous power consumption that of MPI, but MPI outperforms Hadoop implementation by a factor of 1.46 in terms of total power consumption to execution time ratio.

무어의 법칙에 따르면, 반도체의 집적도 2년마다 2배씩 증가한다고 한다. 무어의 법칙은 지금까지는 집적회로 기술의 발전을 잘 예측했다. 하지만 트랜지스터의 사이즈를 줄일수록 누수전류와 회로의 저항을 조절하기 어렵기 때문에 트랜지스터의 소형화에는 한계가 있다. 우리는 곧 무어의 법칙의 한계를 맞이할 것이다. 그래서 트랜지스터를 더욱 소형화시키기 위해서는 bottom-up analysis가 필요한 시점이다. Top-down analysis가 초기의 커다란 트랜지스터에서 점점 소형화를 시켜 작은 트랜지스터를 만든다는 개념인 반면, Bottom-up analysis는 처음부터 작은 분자를 조작하여 트랜지스터와 같은 성질을 띄도록 만드는 개념이다. 분자가 기억소자로서 이용되려면 저항이 다른 2가지 안정한 상태가 필요하다. 이번 연구에서 나는 기억소자를 디자인 하기 위하여 high spin state와 low spin state 두 가지 안정한 상태를 가지는 spin crossover complex를 이용하기로 했다. 이전의 연구에서 spin crossover 는 전기장을 이용해서도 유도될 수 있다고 확신하였고, 이를 이용해서 기억소자를 디자인하기로 하였다. 이번 연구를 위해서 symmetry를 가지는 octahedral spin crossover complex를 디자인하였고 이를 '기억 분자'라고 명명했다. 그리고 이 분자의 high spin state와 low spin state가 전기장을 이용하여 서로 바뀔 수 있는지 가능성을 DFT with B3LYP functional을 이용해서 비교했다. 그 결과로 전기장을 이용하여 기억분자의 spin crossover을 일으킬 수는 있지만 abnormally strong electric field를 써야 한다는 사실을 알아냈다. 이번 연구를 토대로 추후의 연구를 위해, 기억소자가 되기 위하여 분자가 어떤 특징을 만족시켜야 하는지를 분석했다.

Transit workers constitute a blue-collar occupational group that have elevated smoking rates relative to other sectors of employed adults in the United States. This study analyzed cross-sectional tobacco survey data from 935 workers (60% African American; 37% female) employed at an urban public transit agency in California. Prevalence of current and former smoking was 20.3% and 20.6%, respectively. Younger workers were less likely than older workers to be current or former smokers. Having a complete home smoking ban was associated with decreased likelihood of being a smoker [odds ratio (OR) = 0.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.01-0.17], as were neutral views about whether it is easy for a smoker to take a smoking break during their shift (OR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.28-0.88). Current smoking among the sample is > 50% higher than the adult statewide prevalence. Potential points of intervention identified in this study include perceived ease of worksite smoking breaks and establishing home smoking bans. Tailored cessation efforts focusing on older transit workers more likely to smoke are needed to reduce tobacco-related disparities in this workforce.

Hazardous work zones (i.e., hot, warm, and cold) are typically established by emergency response teams during hazardous materials (HAZMAT) calls but less consistently for fire responses to segment personnel and response activities in the immediate geographic area around the fire. Despite national guidelines, studies have documented the inconsistent use of respiratory protective equipment by firefighters at the fire scene. In this case-series report, we describe warm zone gas levels using multigas detectors across five independent fire incident responses all occurring in a large South Florida fire department. Multigas detector data collected at each fire response indicate the presence of sustained levels of volatile organic compounds in the "warm zone" of each fire event. These cases suggest that firefighters should not only implement strategies for multigas detector use within the warm zone but also include respiratory protection to provide adequate safety from toxic exposures in the warm zone.

Purpose: Craniosynostosis of three or more cranial sutures was not common. "Mercedes Benz pattern," named by Moore1 was a rare form of craniosynostosis and had an atypical pattern of premature closure of cranial suture. It was not reported in Republic of Korea. We report this case with literature review. Methods: A 13-months-old male patient visited our clinic due to exophthalmos. He showed normal developmental course. Other neurological tests were normal but he was Crouzon syndrome patient. CT scans showed bilateral lambdoid and posterior sagittal sutures were fused and the length of the skull was extended. Cranioplasty with pi craniotomy & Barrel-Stave osteotomy and recombination of the bone flap was performed. Results: The patient was discharged after post operative 10 days without any complications. In follow up visit after 2.7 years, he was in good state without recurrence and functional abnormality of skull. Conclusion: This was the first case of Mercedes Benz pattern craniosynostosis with Crouzon syndrome in Korea. This type of craniosynostosis has to be considered differently from single type of craniosynostosis or typical syndromic craniosynostosis clinically and surgically.

최근 그래핀, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) 및 $MoS_2$ (molybdenum disulfide)와 같은 2차원 결정 물질들은 무어의 법칙 (Moore's Law)를 뛰어넘어 계속적인 소자의 소형화를 가능케 하고 또한 대면적, 저비용 소자 개발을 가능케 하는 우수한 특성을 가진 차세대 반도체 트랜지스터 소재로 각광받고 있다. $MoS_2$는 bulk 상태일 때는 1.2 eV의 indirect 밴드갭을 가지지만 단층형태일 때는 1.8 eV의 direct 밴드갭을 가지며 dielectric screening 기법 등을 통해 mobility를 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 연구된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착(chemical vapor deposition, CVD)법을 이용하여 $MoS_2$박막을 형성하기 위한 기초연구인 Mo전구체의 특성 평가 및 적합한 공정조건 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 사용한 전구체는 $Mo(CO)^6$ (Molybdenum hexacarbonyl)이고, 온도 및 압력, 반응기체($H_2S$, Hydrogen sulfide) 유량 등의 공정 조건 변화에 따른 거동을 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) 시스템을 사용하여 측정하였다. 또한 $Mo(CO)^6$의 분자구조를 상용 프로그램인 Gaussian으로 시뮬레이션 하여 실제 FT-IR 측정 결과값과 비교 분석하였다. 화학기상증착법을 이용한 $MoS_2$ 증착조건 최적화를 위하여 다양한 온도, 유량, 압력, 및 기판 종류에 대하여 증착 실험을 수행하였으며, 증착된 샘플은 scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석하였다.

As shown in Wikipedia, tagging or cross-linking through major keywords in a document collection improves not only the readability of documents but also responsive and adaptive navigation among related documents. In recent years, the Semantic Web has increased the importance of social tagging as a key feature of the Web 2.0 and, as its crucial phenotype, Tag Cloud has emerged to the public. In this paper we provide an efficient method of automated in-text keyword tagging based on large-scale controlled term collection or keyword dictionary, where the computational complexity of O(mN) - if a pattern matching algorithm is used - can be reduced to O(mlogN) - if an Information Retrieval technique is adopted - while m is the length of target document and N is the total number of candidate terms to be tagged. The result shows that automatic in-text tagging with keywords filtered by Information Retrieval speeds up to about 6 $\sim$ 40 times compared with the fastest pattern matching algorithm.

To reduce the CO₂ emissions associated with the manufacture of portland cement (PC), an efficient alternative like an alkali-activated binder (AAB) is the requirement of the industry. To promote the use of AAB in construction activities, a practically implementable mix proportion is required. Owing to the several raw ingredients of AAB concrete and their associated uncertainties, partial replacement of PC by AAB may be adopted instead of complete replacement as per industrial requirements. Hence, the present study aims to determine an optimal proportion for partial replacement of PC with AAB and recommend a technique for it based on site conditions. Three modes of partial replacement are followed: combining all the dry ingredients for AAB and PC followed by the addition of the requisite liquids (PAM); combining the PC and the AAB concrete in two horizontal layers (PAH); and two vertical layers (PAV). 28-day old specimens are exposed to 10% v/v solutions of HCl, H₂SO₄, and HNO₃ to evaluate changes in mechanical, physical, and microstructural characteristics through compressive strength, corrosion depth, and microscopy. Based on deterioration in strength and integrity, PAH or PAV can be adopted in absence of acid attack, whereas PAM is recommended in presence of acid attack.

With the increasing use of smartphone apps, many apps are coming out in various fields. In order to analyze the current status and trends of apps in a specific field, it is necessary to establish a classification scheme. Various schemes considering users' behavior and characteristics of apps have been proposed, but there is a problem in that many apps are released and a fixed classification scheme must be updated according to the passage of time. Although it is necessary to consider many aspects in establishing classification scheme, it is possible to grasp the trend of the app through the proposal of a classification scheme according to the characteristic of the app. This research proposes a method of establishing an app classification scheme through the description of the app written by the app developers. For this purpose, we collected explanations about apps in the tourism field and identified major categories through topic modeling. Using only the apps corresponding to the topic, we construct a network of words contained in the explanatory text and identify subcategories based on the networks of words. Six topics were selected, and Clauset Newman Moore algorithm was applied to each topic to identify subcategories. Four or five subcategories were identified for each topic.

The CHIMPS2 survey is to extend the JCMT HARP $^{13}CO/C^{18}O$ J=3-2 Inner Milky-Way Plane Survey (CHIMPS) and the ${12}^CO$ J=3-2 survey (COHRS) into the inner Galactic Plane, the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), and a section of the Outer Plane. When combined with the complementary $^{12}CO/^{13}CO/C^{18}O$ J=1-0 survey at the Nobeyama 45m (FUGIN) at matching 15" resolution and sensitivity, and other current CO surveys, the results will provide a complete set of transition data with which to calculate accurate column densities, gas temperatures and turbulent Mach numbers. These will be used to: analyze molecular cloud properties across a range of Galactic environments; map the star-formation efficiency (SFE) and dense-gas mass fraction (DGMF) in molecular gas as a function of position in the Galaxy and its relation to the nature of the turbulence within molecular clouds; determine Galactic structure as traced by molecular gas and star formation; constrain cloud-formation models; study the relationship of filaments to star formation; test current models of the gas kinematics and stability in the Galactic center region and the flow of gas from the disc. It will also provide an invaluable legacy data set for JCMT that will not be superseded for several decades. In this poster, we will present the current status of the CHIMPS2.
