In this paper, we discuss the belief propagation decoding algorithm for polar codes. The performance of Polar codes for shorter lengths is not satisfactory. Motivated by this, we propose a novel technique to improve its performance at short lengths. We showed that the probability of messages passed along the factor graph of polar codes, can be increased by multiplying the current message of nodes with their previous message. This is like a feedback path in which the present signal is updated by multiplying with its previous signal. Thus the experimental results show that performance of belief propagation polar decoder can be improved using this proposed technique. Simulation results in binary-input additive white Gaussian noise channel (BI-AWGNC) show that the proposed belief propagation polar decoder can provide significant gain of 2 dB over the original belief propagation polar decoder with code rate 0.5 and code length 128 at the bit error rate (BER) of $10^{-4}$.

We isolated and identified three protease-producing bacteria that had inhabited the region around the Korean Arctic Research Station Dasan located at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, Norway $(79^{\circ}N,\;12^{\circ}E)$. Biofilms were collected from the surface of a floating pier and from dead brown algae in a tide pool near the seashore. The biofilm samples were transported to the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) under frozen conditions, diluted in sterilized seawater, and cultured on Zobell agar plates with 1% skim milk at $10^{\circ}C$. Three clear zone forming colonies were selected as protease-producing bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that these three stains shared high sequence similarities with Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii, Exiguobacterium oxidotofewm Pseudomonas jessenii, respectively. We expect these Arctic bacteria may be used to develop new varieties of protease that are active at low temperatures.

Rheology of gels prepared with stearyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium hectorite (SDBAH) and various polar additives in n-butyl acetate was investigated by measuring the viscosity and rheogram. Including generally recognized polar additives, additional studies on the rheogram and viscosity were made with ether-type methyl cellosolve and carbitol, with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) having sulfonyl group, and furthermore with above-mentioned polar additives containing small quantity of water, It was observed that molecular size, dipole moments and dielectric constants of polar additives had a great influence on viscosity increase and rheology of SDBAH gel, and the increase of SDBAH interlayer spacing was important factor in gel formation and viscosity change. It was also shown that thixotropy effect was increased with the increase of polar additive concentration, finally changed to rheopexy from thixotropy as the concentration of polar additives was increased more than about 40% of SDBAH weight. In addition thixotropy changed to rheopexy as the increase of shear rate. It was further found that the aqueous solutions of polar additives (water content, 5-25%) had more effects on rheology than additives without water, and particularly 95clo DMSO solution was the most effective. And the optimum concentration of polar additives showing maximum viscosity in the same SDBAH concentration system was examined.

In recent years, polar research has been focused on climate change, natural resources, and development of a new North Pole Route. Since 2010, the Korea Polar Research Institute has been collecting various in situ data from the Arctic/Antarctic oceans using ARAON, which is the first effort of Korea toward leading global polar research. As a part of these activities, a web-based GIS service was developed to collect in situ data and to standardize data formats. Visualizations of in situ measurements and thematic maps were also developed to improve both the quantitative and qualitative quality of polar ocean research, and to increase accessibility of polar oceanographic data. This system will ultimately share all of the data acquired from the Arctic/Antarctic oceans with international research groups.

Polar psychrophiles which thrive under extreme conditions such as cold temperature, high salinity, and high dose ultraviolet light, emerge as novel targets for biotechnology. To prevent genetic drift and the possibility of contamination by subculturing, cryopreservation was employed for two psychrophilic microalgae, Porosira sp. (KOPRI AnM0008) and Pyramimonas sp. (KOPRI AnM0046), which have anti-freeze activities. Five cryoprotectants (dimethyl sulphoxide, ethylene glycol, glycerol, methanol and propylene glycol) showed toxicity at 20-30% (v/v). The optimal cryoprotectant concentration and equilibration time were less than 20% and 10 min, respectively. Cryopreservation was carried out in the presence of cryoprotectants either by direct freezing in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) or controlled freezing using a controlled rate freezer followed by storage in the $LN_2$ tank. As a result, Pyramimonas sp. (KOPRI AnM0046), a psychrophilic chlorophyta was revived. Cryopreserved Porosira sp. was not revived from either freezing protocols probably due to the silicic cell wall and its relatively large cell size. In the case of Pyramimonas sp. (KOPRI AnM0046), the controlled freezing method showed higher revival yield than the direct freezing method.

The channel-achieving property made the polar code show to advantage as an error-correcting code. However, sufficient error-correction performance shows the asymptotic property that is achieved when the length of the code is long. Therefore, efficient architecture is needed to realize the implementation of very-large-scale integration for the case of long input data. Although the most basic fully parallel encoder is intuitive and easy to implement, it is not suitable for long polar codes because of the high hardware complexity. Complementing this, a partially parallel encoder was proposed which has an excellent result in terms of hardware area. Nevertheless, this method has not been completely generalized and has the disadvantage that different architectures appear depending on the hardware designer. In this paper, we propose a hardware design scheme that applies the proposed systematic approach which is optimized for bit-dimension permutations. By applying this solution, it is possible to design a generalized partially parallel encoder for long polar codes with the same intuitive architecture as a fully parallel encoder.
