As the Fourth Industrial Revolution era began, a variety of devices are running on the cloud. These various devices continue to generate various types of data or large amounts of multimedia data. To handle this situation, a large amount of storage is required, and big data technology is required to process stored data and obtain accurate information. NAS (Network Attached Storage) or SAN (Storage Area Network) technology is typically used to build high-speed, high-capacity storage in a network-based environment. In this paper, we propose a method to construct a mass storage device using Network-DAS which is an extension technology of DAS (Direct Attached Storage). Benchmark experiments were performed to verify the scalability of the storage system with 76 HDD. Experimental results show that the proposed high performance mass storage system is scalable and reliable.

The purpose of this study is to explore the Nature of Argumentation in Science education (NAS). For this purpose, we collected previous studies conducted on the argumentation in science education, and then collected previous studies were analyzed to extract the overall characteristics of argumentation in science education. Based on the results, an expert review was conducted, then the nature of argumentation in science education was finally derived to a total of seven components: 'evidence based', 'linguistic interaction', 'context dependency', 'public decision-making', 'tentative agreement', 'methodological diversity', and 'enculturation of scientific culture'. Understanding the nature of argumentation in science education can promote the practice of argumentation in science learning. Therefore, further studies will be necessary to conduct research to expand and refine the nature of argumentation in science education in order to effectively practice it in science learning.

Low-temperature germinability (LTG) is an important trait for the direct seeding of rice in temperate and high altitudes regions. Water temperature of rice fields at sowing season is frequently under 15℃ in Korea, resulting in poor seedlings establishment. The objective of this study was to phenotypically and genetically evaluate 600 rice germplasm composed of six rice subpopulations. In the phenotypic evaluation, aus (AUS) showed the highest visual rating (VR) and germination rate (GR) of 5 and 83.1%, respectively, than other subpopulations. The lowest value of VR (7.1) and GR (53.1%) was observed in aromatic (ARO) subpopulation. Association of the phenotype for LTG with the genotype for qLTG3-1, a major QTL for LTG, and other three SNP markers (LTG_8, qLTG4b-1, qLTG2-6) was conducted. The results suggested that the allele distribution of two markers, qLTG3-1 and qLTG2-6, affects the difference in VR and GR between subpopulations. qLTG4b-1 and LTG_8 were also highly significant with LTG in all subpopulations except that qLTG4b-1 did now show significance in AUS. Therefore, the combination use of these four markers might be effective for evaluation of LTG in rice germplasm.

As commensal colonizers in livestock, there has been little attention on staphylococci, especially non-aureus staphylococci (NAS), contaminating meat production chain. To assess prevalence of staphylococci in retail pork and slaughterhouse carcass samples in Korea, we collected 578 samples from Korean slaughterhouses (n=311) and retail markets (n=267) for isolation of staphylococci and determined antimicrobial resistance phenotypes in all the isolates. The presence of and prevalence of fusB-family genes (fusB, fusC, fusD, and fusF) and mutations in fusA genes were examined in fusidic acid resistant isolates. A total of 47 staphylococcal isolates of 4 different species (Staphylococcus aureus, n=4; S. hyicus, n=1; S. epidermidis, n=10; Mammaliicoccus sciuri, n=32) were isolated. Fusidic acid resistance were confirmed in 9/10 S. epidermidis and all of the 32 M. sciuri (previously S. sciuri) isolates. Acquired fusidic acid resistance genes were detected in all the resistant strains; fusB and fusC in S. epidermidis and fusB/C in M. sciuri. Multi-locus sequence type analysis revealed that ST63 (n=10, 31%) and ST30 (n=8, 25%) genotypes were most prevalent among fusidic acid resistant M. sciuri isolates. In conclusion, the high prevalence of fusB-family genes in S. epidermidis and M. sciuri strains isolated from pork indicated that NAS might act as a reservoir for fusidic acid resistance gene transmissions in pork production chains.

There are various types of foreign object debris (FOD) in the aviation industry. Tools lost by workers can act as a risk factor throughout aircraft operation, manufacturing, and maintenance fields. Accidents caused by tools lost due to workers' carelessness continue to occur throughout the aviation industry. Aviation-related institutions such as FAA and EASA have established tool control regulations and systems to prevent FOD occurrence. However, in Korea, related regulations and procedures are insufficient. A systematic and effective tool control system is required for reliable manufacturing, airworthiness, operation, and maintenance of aircraft. In this paper, tool control regulations and procedures of domestic and foreign air traffic authorities and aviation industry-related organizations were studied. A wireless communication-based tool control system was proposed based on the NAS 412's tool control regulations certified by the National Standards Association.

This study was conducted to develop an agent-based computing platform enabling simulation of on-farm produce contamination by enteric foodborne pathogens, which is herein called PPMCS (Preharvest Produce Microbial Contamination Simulator). Also, fecal contamination of preharvest produce was simulated using PPMCS. Although Agent-based Modeling and Simulation, the tool applied in this study, is rather popular in where socio-economical human behaviors or ecological fate of animals in their niche are to be predicted, the incidence of on-farm produce contamination which are thought to be sporadic has never been simulated using this tool. The agents in PPMCS including crop, animal as a source of fecal contamination, and fly as a vector spreading the fecal contamination are given their intrinsic behaviors that are set to be executed at certain probability. Once all these agents are on-set following the intrinsic behavioral rules, consequences as the sum of all the behaviors in the system can be monitored real-time. When fecal contamination of preharvest produce was simulated in PPMCS as numbers of animals, flies, and initially contaminated plants change, the number of animals intruding cropping area affected most on the number of contaminated plants at harvest. For further application, the behaviors and variables of the agents are adjustable depending on user's own scenario of interest. This feature allows PPMCS to be utilized in where different simulating conditions are tested.

여러 가지 실내공기 오염물질중 라돈은 주로 자연 발생원으로부터 기인하는 물질로써 우리가 원하지 않는 비자발적 위험 요인(unwanted and involuntary risk factor)이며 전체 자연 방사성물질의 노출량에서도 많은 비율을 차지하는 것으로 알려져 있다(환경부, 2002). 라돈은 무색, 무취의 가스로 이를 흡입하는 경우 폐암을 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 토양중 라돈은 지하수로 용해되어 지하수를 섭취하는 경우 노출될 수 있는데, 이로 인한 위해도보다는 실내공기로 인한 흡입 노출시의 위해도가 매우 크고, 이로 인해 실내 공기중 라돈의 위해도가 라돈으로 인한 전체 위해도의 90% 수준에 달하는 것으로 알려져 있다(NAS, 1999; 김순애 등, 2002).

Over the past 30 years, numerical methods and simulation tools for fluid dynamic problems have advanced as a new discipline, namely, computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Although a wide spectrum of flow regimes are encountered in many areas of science and engineering, simulation of compressible flow has been the major driver for developing computational algorithms and tools. This Is probably due to a large demand for predicting the aerodynamic performance characteristics of flight vehicles, such as commercial, military, and space vehicles. As flow analysis is required to be more accurate and computationally efficient for both commercial and mission-oriented applications (such as those encountered in meteorology, aerospace vehicle development, general fluid engineering and biofluid analysis) CFD tools for engineering become increasingly important for predicting safety, performance and cost. This paper presents the author's perspective on the maturity of CFD, especially from an aerospace engineering point of view.

Caenorhabditis elegans undergoes a developmental molting process that involves a coordinated interplay among diverse intracellular pathways. Here, we investigated the functions of two fatty acid biosynthesis genes; pod-2, encoding acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fasn-1, encoding fatty acid synthase, in the C. elegans molting process. Although both the pod-2 and fasn-1 genes were expressed at constant levels throughout C. elegans development, knockdown of the proteins encoded by these genes using RNA interference produced severe defects in triglyceride production, molting, and reproduction that were coupled to suppression of NAS-37, a metalloprotease. An assessment of the structure and integrity of the cuticle using a COL-19::GFP marker and Hoechst 33258 staining showed that downregulation of either pod-2 or fasn-1 impaired cuticle formation and disrupted the integrity of the cuticle and the hypodermal membrane.
