Due to explosive increase in the amount of data produced recently, cloud storage system is required to offer high and stable performance. However, VM (Virtual Machine) migration may result in lowered storage service performance. Especially, in an environment where the host-side flash cache is used in a cloud system, the existing warmed up cache is lost and the problematic cold start begins at a new cache due to a VM migration. In this paper, we first demonstrate and analyze the cold start problem and then propose Cachemior (Cache migrator) which enables efficient hot start of the flash cache.

ABCV-Py, a new red fluorescent material, in which two identical electron donor (dimethylamino group) and acceptor (cyano group) moieties are linked to two independent biphenyl groups which share the same core phenyl, has been synthesized for use in OLED application. Performance of red doped electroluminescent devices using ABCV-Py as dopant were measured with various host materials, $Alq_3$, CBP, DPVBi, and p-terphenyl. The performance of device with DPVBi host material was better than those with other host materials and high doping concentration could be applied on device with ABCV-Py as dopant.

In robot teleoperation, much research has been carried out to control the slave robot from remote site. One of the essential devices for robot teleoperation is the masterarm, which is a path command generating device worn on human arm. In this paper, a new masterarm based on human kinematics is proposed. Its controller is based on the distributed controller architecture composed of two controller parts: a host controller and a set of satellite controllers. Each satellite controller measures the corresponding joint angle, while the host controller performs forward and inverse kinematics calculation. This distributed controller architecture can make the data updating faster, which allows to implement real-time implementation. The host controller and the satellited controllers are networked via three-wire daisy-chained SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol, so this architecture makes the electrical wiring very simple, and enhances maintenance. Analytical method for finding three additional unknown joint angles is derived using only three measured angles for each shoulder and wrist, which makes th hardware implementation very simple by minimizing the required number of satellite controllers. Finally, the simulation and experiment results are given to demonstrate the usefulness and performance of the proposed masterarm.

Selection for increased milk production in dairy cows has often resulted in a higher incidence of disease and thus incurred a greater health costs. Considerable interests have been shown in breeding dairy cattle for disease resistance in recent years. This paper discusses the limitations of breeding dairy cattle for genetic resistance in six parts: 1) complexity of disease resistance, 2) difficulty in estimating genetic parameters for planning breeding programs against disease, 3) undesirable relationship between production traits and disease, 4) disease as affected by recessive genes, 5) new mutation of the pathogens, and 6) variable environmental factors. The hidden problems of estimating genetic and phenotypic parameters involving disease incidence were examined in terms of categorical nature, non-independence, heterogeneity of error variance, non-randomness, and automatic relationship between disease and production traits. In light of these limitations, the prospect for increasing genetic resistance by conventional breeding methods would not be so bright as we like. Since the phenomenon of disease is the result of a joint interaction among host genotype, pathogen genotype and environment, it becomes essential to adopt an integrated approach of increasing genetic resistance of the host animals, manipulating the pathogen genotypes, developing effective vaccines and drugs, and improving the environmental conditions. The advances in DNA-based technology show considerable promise in directly manipulating host and pathogen genomes for genetic resistance and producing vaccines and drugs for prevention and medication to promote the wellbeing of the animals.

Nanotechnology is of great importance to molecular biology and medicine because life processes are maintained by the action of a series of molecular nanomachines in the cell machinery. Recent advances in nanoscale materials that possess emergent physical properties and molecular organization hold great promise to impact human health in the diagnostic and therapeutic arenas. In order to be effective, nanomaterials need to navigate the host biology and traffic to relevant biological structures, such as diseased or pathogenic cells. Moreover, nanoparticles intended for human administration must be designed to interact with, and ideally leverage, a living host environment. Inspired by nature, we use peptides to transfer biological trafficking properties to synthetic nanoparticles to achieve targeted delivery of payloads. In this talk, development of nanoscale materials will be presented with a particular focus on applications to three outstanding health problems: bacterial infection, cancer detection, and traumatic brain injury. A biodegradable nanoparticle carrying a peptide toxin trafficked to the bacterial surface has antimicrobial activity in a pneumonia model. Trafficking of a tumor-homing nanoprobes sensitively detects cancer via a high-contrast time-gated imaging system. A neuron-targeted nanoparticle carrying siRNA traffics to neuronal populations and silences genes in a model of traumatic brain injury. Unique combinations of material properties that can be achieved with nanomaterials provide new opportunities in translational nanomedicine. This framework for constructing nanomaterials that leverage bio-inspired molecules to traffic diagnostic and therapeutic payloads can contribute on better understanding of living systems to solve problems in human health.

Leaf samples of Solanum lycopersicum, Capsicum annuum, Cucurbita moschata, Cucurbita pepo, Sechium edule and Erythrina spp. were collected. All samples were positive for begomoviruses using polymerase chain reaction and degenerate primers. A sequence of ~1,100 bp was obtained from the genomic component DNA-A of 14 samples. In addition, one sequence of ~580 bp corresponding to the coat protein (AV1) was obtained from a chayote (S. edule) leaf sample. The presence of Squash yellow mild mottle virus (SYMMoV) and Pepper golden mosaic virus (PepGMV) were confirmed. The host range reported for SYMMoV includes species of the Cucurbitaceae, Caricaceae and Fabaceae families. This report extends the host range of SYMMoV to include the Solanaceae family, and extends the host range of PepGMV to include C. moschata, C. pepo and the Fabaceae Erythrina spp. This is the first report of a begomovirus (PepGMV) infecting chayote in the Western Hemisphere.

Some planorbid snails such as Hippeutis cantori and Segmentina hemisphaerula have reported as the molluscan intermediate hosts of Neodiplostomum seoulense, one of important snail-borne human intestinal trematodes in Korea. However, one of the Korean lymnaeid snail species, Austropeplea ollular was also found to be the first intermediate ho of N. seoulense. In field-collected Austropeplea snails from Sorae and Kimpo out of se collected localities, the bifurcated cercariae of N. seoulense were shed (infection rat 0.3%), whereas no Radix auricularia and Fossaria truncatula were found shedding cercariae. Each of 12 tadpoles of Rana nigromaculata, known as the second intermedia host of N. seoulense, were exposed to 200 cercariae shed from field-collected A ollula. F tadpoles of R. nigromaculata were found to be massively infected with metacercariae o N. seoulense (recovery rate: 62.1%). Each of five rats (Sprague-Dowley strain) was or fed with 200 metacercariae, and eggs of N. seoulense were detected in the rat feces on week later. These rats were killed 4 weeks after postinfection and adult worms of N seoulense were recovered from the small intestines (recovery rate: 9%). This is the f report of A. ollula as the first molluscan intermediate host for N. seoulense in Korea.
