Recently, security researches have been processed on the method to cover a broader range of hacking attacks at the low level in the perspective of hardware. This system security applies not only to individuals' computer systems but also to cloud environments. "Cloud" concerns operations on the web. Therefore it is exposed to a lot of risks and the security of its spaces where data is stored is vulnerable. Accordingly, in order to reduce threat factors to security, the TCG proposed a highly reliable platform based on a semiconductor-chip, the TPM. However, there have been no technologies up to date that enables a real-time visual monitoring of the security status of a PC that is operated based on the TPM. And the TPB has provided the function in a visual method to monitor system status and resources only for the system behavior of a single host. Therefore, this paper will propose a m-TMS (Mobile Trusted Monitoring System) that monitors the trusted state of a computing environment in which a TPM chip-based TPB is mounted and the current status of its system resources in a mobile device environment resulting from the development of network service technology. The m-TMS is provided to users so that system resources of CPU, RAM, and process, which are the monitoring objects in a computer system, may be monitored. Moreover, converting and detouring single entities like a PC or target addresses, which are attack pattern methods that pose a threat to the computer system security, are combined. The branch instruction trace function is monitored using a BiT Profiling tool through which processes attacked or those suspected of being attacked may be traced, thereby enabling users to actively respond.

Recent years have seen an increase in the incidence of candidiasis caused by non-albicans Candida (NAC) species. In fact, C. glabrata is now second only to C. albicans as the most common cause of invasive candidiasis. Therefore, the rapid genotyping specifically for C. glabrata is required for early diagnosis and treatment of candidiasis. A number of genotyping assays have been developed to differentiate C. glabrata sequence types (STs), but they have several limitations. In the previous study, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) has performed with a total of 101 C. glabrata clinical isolates to analyze the prevalent C. glabrata STs in Korea. A total of 11 different C. glabrata STs were identified and, among them, ST-138 was the most commonly classified. Thus, a novel probe-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was developed and evaluated for rapid and accurate identification of the predominant C. glabrata ST-138 in Korea. Two primer pairs and hybridization probe sets were designed for the amplification of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region and TRP1 gene. Analytical sensitivity of the probe-based qPCR assay was 100 ng to 10 pg and 100 ng to 100 pg (per 1 μL), which target ITS1 region and TRP1 gene, respectively. This assay did not react with any other Candida species and bacteria except C. glabrata. Of the 101 clinical isolates, 99 cases (98%) were concordant with MLST results. This novel probe-based qPCR assay proved to be rapid, sensitive, highly specific, reproducible, and cost-effective than other genotyping assay for C. glabrata ST-138 identification.

The water jetting system for a jack-up spudcan requires the suitable design considering the platform/spudcan particulars, environments, and soil conditions, either the surficial clay or surficial sand. The usage of water jetting depends critically on soil conditions. The water jetting is usually used for the smooth and fast extraction of the spudcan in the surficial clay condition. It is also required for inserting spudcan up to the required depth in the surficial sand condition, which is investigated in this paper. Especially, it should be very careful to use the water jetting during an installation of spudcan in the surficial sand condition, because there is a risk of overturning accident related to the punch-through. Therefore, in this study, the effect of water jetting flow rate and time on the change of soil properties and penetration resistance is analyzed to better understand their interactions and correlations when inserting the spudcan with water jetting in surficial sand condition. For the investigation, a wind turbine installation jack-up rig (WTIJ) is selected as the target platform and the multi layered soil (surficial sand overlaying clays) is considered as the soil condition. The environmental loading and soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis are performed by using CHARM3D and ANSYS. This kind of investigation and simulation is needed to decide the proper water jetting flow rate and time of spudcan for the given design condition.

It is usual to evaluate the performance of the cool roof by measuring in-site rooftop temperature using thermal infra-red camera. The principal advantage of rooftop thermal infrared image acquired in oblique vantage point of super high-rise building as a remote sensor is to provide, in a cost-effective manner, area-wide information required for a scattered rooftop target with different colors, utilizing wide view angle and multi-temporal data coverage. This research idea was formulated by incorporating the concept of traditional remote sensing into rooftop temperature monitoring. Correlations between infrared image of super high-rise building and in-situ data were investigated to compare rooftop surface temperature for a total of four different rooftop locations. The results of the correlations analyses indicate that the rooftop surface temperature by the infrared images of super high-rise building alone could be explained yielding $R^2$ values of 0.951. The visible permanent record of the oblique thermal infra-red image was quite useful in better understanding the nature and extent of rooftop color that occurs in sampling points. This thermal infrared image acquired in oblique vantage point of super high-rise made it possible to identify area wide patterns of rooftop temperature change subject to many different colors, which cannot be acquired by traditional in-site field sampling. The infrared image of super high-rise building breaks down the usual concept of field sampling established as a conventional cool roof performance evaluation technique.

It is a widespread concern that electrical interconnection based network-on-chip (NoC) will ultimately face the limitation in communication bandwidth, transmission latency and power consumption in the near future. With the development of silicon photonics technology, a hybrid optical network-on-chip (HONoC) which embraces both electrical- and optical interconnect, is emerging as a promising solution to overcome these problems. Today's leading edge systems-on-chips (SoCs) comprise heterogeneous many-cores for higher energy efficiency, therefore, extended study beyond regular topology based NoC is required. This paper proposes an energy and latency optimization topology design technique for HONoC taking into account the traffic characteristics of target applications. The proposed technique is implemented with genetic algorithm and simulation results show the reduction by 13.84% in power loss and 28.14% in average latency, respectively.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient hardware architecture of line-based lifting algorithm for Motion JPEG2000. We proposed a new architecture of a lifting-based filtering cell which has an optimized and simplified structure. It was implemented in a hardware accommodating both (9,7) and (5,4) filter. Since the output rate is linearly proportional to the input rate, one can obtain the high throughput through parallel operation simply by adding the hardware units. It was implemented into both of ASIC and FPGA The 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS library from Samsung was used for ASIC and Altera was the target for FRGA. In ASIC, the proposed architecture used 41,592 gates for the lifting arithmetic and 128 Kbit memory. For FPGA it used 6,520 LEs(Logic Elements) and 128 ESBs(Embedded System Blocks). The implementations were stably operated in the clock frequency of 128MHz and 52MHz, respectively.

In the multi-sensor system, sensor registration errors such as a sensor bias must be corrected so that the individual sensor data are expressed in a common reference frame. If registration process is not properly executed, large tracking errors or formation of multiple track on the same target can be occured. Especially for launch vehicle tracking system, each multiple observation lies on the same reference frame and then fused trajectory can be the best track for slaving data. Hence, this paper describes an on-line bias estimation/correction and asynchronous sensor fusion for launch vehicle tracking. The bias estimation architecture is designed based on pseudo bias measurement which derived from error observation between GPS and radar measurements. Then, asynchronous sensor fusion is adapted to enhance tracking performance.

This study aimed to assess of beam-matching accuracy for an 8 MV beam between the same model linear accelerators(Linac) commissioned over two years. Two models were got the customer acceptance procedure(CAP) criteria. For commissioning data for beam-matched linacs, the percentage depth doses(PDDs), beam profiles, output factors, multi-leaf collimator(MLC) leaf transmission factors, and the dosimetric leaf gap(DLG) were compared. In addition, the accuracy of beam matching was verified at phantom and patient levels. At phantom level, the point doses specified in TG-53 and TG-119 were compared to evaluate the accuracy of beam modelling. At patient level, the dose volume histogram(DVH) parameters and the delivery accuracy are evaluated on volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) plan for 40 patients that included 20 lung and 20 brain cases. Ionization depth curve and dose profiles obtained in CAP showed a good level for beam matching between both Linacs. The variations in commissioning beam data, such as PDDs, beam profiles, output factors, TF, and DLG were all less than 1%. For the treatment plans of brain tumor and lung cancer, the average and maximum differences in evaluated DVH parameters for the planning target volume(PTV) and the organs at risk(OARs) were within 0.30% and 1.30%. Furthermore, all gamma passing rates for both beam-matched Linacs were higher than 98% for the 2%/2 mm criteria and 99% for the 2%/3 mm criteria. The overall variations in the beam data, as well as tests at phantom and patient levels remains all within the tolerance (1% difference) of clinical acceptability between beam-matched Linacs. Thus, we found an excellent dosimetric agreement to 8 MV beam characteristics for the same model Linacs.

In order to form focused inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) images of a non-uniformly rotating target, rotational motion compensation(RMC) should be performed. Prominent point processing(PPP), one of the most representative RMC methods, is used to compensate nonlinear rotation motion by exploiting the phase signals of scatterers. In this paper, we propose a new RMC method based on the integrated cubic phase function(ICPF). The ICPF requires only one-dimensional(1-D) maximization to estimate the phases of multi-component signals. Simulation results using a point scatterers model in the absence of dominant scatterers validate that PPP based on ICPF can achieve well-focused ISAR images in real time.

In this paper, a differential-braking-based yaw moment control system was developed to guarantee robust performance against road bank angle. A new target yaw rate model was established by combining the signal from a lateral acceleration sensor and 2-DOF single track model. In addition, a disturbance observer was utilized to take into account parameter uncertainties in yaw dynamics and to improve robust performance of the controller. CARSIM, which is a multi-DOF vehicle dynamic simulation tool, was used to verify the performance of the proposed controller in various driving scenarios. The simulation results indicate that the stability of the vehicle was robustly maintained by the controller, which is characterized by the reflection of the signal of a lateral acceleration sensor signal and by the compensation of the errors in the model parameters via the disturbance observer.
