  • Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is proposed for using the unused spectrum band efficiently because of the spectrum scarcity problems. Spectrum sensing is one of the most challenging issues in cognitive radio system. In this paper, we focus on the signal detection of WiBro system band. As most of the modulated signals can be treated as cyclostationary random process, we can detect the signal of the OFDM signals in WiBro system. OFDM symbols using WiBro system have several pilot subcarriers and periodic pilots have cyclostationary characteristic. To improve of the detection performance, we get diversity gain using multiple antennas.

  • It is becoming hard to maintain web applications because of high complexity and duplication of web pages. However, most of research about code clone is focusing on code hunks, and their target is limited to a specific language. Thus, we propose GSIM, a language-independent statistical approach to detect similar pages based on scarcity and frequency of customized tokens. The tokens, which can be obtained from pages splitted by a set of given separators, are defined as atomic elements for calculating similarity between two pages. In this paper, the domain definition for web applications and algorithms for collecting tokens, making matrics, calculating similarity are given. We also conducted experiments on open source codes for evaluation, with our GSIM tool. The results show the applicability of the proposed method and the effects of parameters such as threshold, toughness, length of tokens, on their quality and performance.

  • A paleoparasitological study was carried out on 2 lead coffins recovered from the Roman site of Jaunay-Clan (near Poitiers, France). For the first time, this particular type of burial gave positive parasitological results, and eggs of the whipworm Trichuris trichiura were identified in 1 individual. In the present case, thanatomorphose associated with funerary practices may explain the scarcity of the recovered eggs. However, human whipworm has now been observed in 9 individuals dated to the Roman period. The very high frequency of Trichuris sp. eggs in Roman archaeological sites (up to 80%) suggests that fecal peril, hygiene, and waste management were problematic during this period. Finally, due to the fact that very few analyses have been conducted on human bodies dated to the Roman period, more analyses must be performed in the future to provide further information about diseases in the Roman world.

  • Treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater is becoming a major goal due to water scarcity. This may be carried out using membrane separation technology in general and reverse osmosis (RO) in particular. In the current study, polyamide (FT-30) membrane was employed for treatment of wastewater obtained from Faraman industrial zone based in Kermanshah (Iran). The effects of operating conditions such as transmembrane pressure, cross flow velocity, temperature and time on water flux and rejection of impurities including COD by the membrane were elucidated. The aim was an improvement in membrane performance. The results indicate that most of the chemical substances are removed from the wastewater. In particular COD removal was increased from 64 to around 100% as temperature increased from 15 to $45^{\circ}C$. The complete COD removal was obtained at transmembrane pressure of 20 bars and cross flow velocity of 1.5 m/s. The treated wastewater may be reused for various applications including makeup water for cooling towers.

  • Decrease in the cocoon production of Japan is drastic because of low price of cocoon, scarcity of successors and so on. To tide over the difficulty, the automation system in the sericulture was discussed and some trials have been conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan. The attempts are based on a low cost artificial diet which does not rely on mulberry leaves. Automatic machines developed until now are a rearing machine constituted with repeated belt conveyor, an reformation type of former rearing machine "Bombyx" and a mounting machine. Running parallel with them, utilization of 20-hydroxyecdysone extracted from a plant to the mounting was also studied to use their machines efficiently in the fields. In conclusion, 10 tons of law cocoon will come to be produced by two persons labor. At present, an automatic rearing system on low cost artificial diet has been developing for the future sericulture.

  • With the wide spread of Social Network Services (SNS), fake news-which is a way of disguising false information as legitimate media-has become a big social issue. This paper proposes a deep learning architecture for detecting fake news that is written in Korean. Previous works proposed appropriate fake news detection models for English, but Korean has two issues that cannot apply existing models: Korean can be expressed in shorter sentences than English even with the same meaning; therefore, it is difficult to operate a deep neural network because of the feature scarcity for deep learning. Difficulty in semantic analysis due to morpheme ambiguity. We worked to resolve these issues by implementing a system using various convolutional neural network-based deep learning architectures and "Fasttext" which is a word-embedding model learned by syllable unit. After training and testing its implementation, we could achieve meaningful accuracy for classification of the body and context discrepancies, but the accuracy was low for classification of the headline and body discrepancies.

  • The purpose of the study was to examine early childhood teachers' content knowledge of economic education. The subjects, 60 early childhood teachers, were asked to draw concept maps about early childhood economic education. Their concept maps were analyzed in terms of superordinate and subordinate concepts by contents and frequencies. The results were as follows. First, 248 superordinate concepts were shown, and they were categorized into nine representative terms: 'Scarcity and Choice,' 'Decision Making,' 'Monetary Value,' 'Production,' 'Consumption,' 'Distribution,' 'Restrain,' 'Reuse,' and 'Economic Education Activity.' Second, 1,440 subordinate concepts were shown, and 'coin,' 'bill,' 'saving,' 'bank,' and 'money' were frequently shown. Third, the mean numbers of subordinate concepts per superordinate concepts showed that early childhood teachers had more knowledge about 'Consumption,' 'Monetary Value,' and 'Economic Education Activity' than other superordinate concepts. The results showed the need for early childhood teachers to have more systematic and hierarchical pedagogical content knowledge on economic education.

  • The construction quality control of hull blocks is of great significance for shipbuilding. The total station device is predominantly employed in traditional applications, but suffers from long measurement time, high labor intensity and scarcity of data points. In this paper, the Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) device is utilized to obtain an efficient and accurate comprehensive construction information of hull blocks. To address the registration problem which is the most important issue in comparing the measurement point cloud and the design model, an automatic registration approach is presented. Furthermore, to compare the data acquired by TLS device and sparse point sets obtained by total station device, a method for key point extraction is introduced. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is fast and accurate, and that applying TLS to control the construction quality of hull blocks is reliable and feasible.

  • Recently, the spectrum scarcity is becoming a big issue because there are exponential growth of broadcasting and communication systems in the spectrum demand. Cognitive radio is a technology that is envisaged to solve the problems in wireless networks resulting from the limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage by exploiting the existing wireless spectrum opportunistically. Kuroda et al. proposed a radio-independent authentication protocol for cognitive radio networks. This paper first shows the privacy weaknesses in the authentication protocol by Kuroda et al. and proposes a privacy aware authentication protocol to solve the weaknesses.

  • Schwannomas are rare benign tumors that develop in Schwann cells lining peripheral nerves. Schwannomas of the brachial plexus are especially rare, accounting for 5% of all cases. Although several treatments can be considered, the exact method of treatment is unclear owing to the scarcity and sporadic occurrence of schwannomas. Tumor resection is performed in most cases, and nerve damage is inevitable in cases of neuroinvasive schwannoma. In this case series, we present our successful use of transposition of cable-grafted nerves for the treatment of schwannomas. We performed cable-grafted nerve interposition in addition to tumor resection, leading to increased recovery of nerve damage. To relieve postoperative symptoms and minimize sequelae, precise surgical tumor resection followed by nerve interposition using a cable-grafted nerve may be recommended.
