The docking and in silico ligand screening procedures can select small sets of lead -like candidates from large libraries of either commercially or synthetically available compounds; however, the vast number of such molecules make the potential size of this task enormous. To accelerate the discovery of drugs to inhibit several targets, we have exploited massively distributed computing to screen compound libraries virtually. The Korea@HOME project was launched in Feb. 2002, and one year later, more than 1200 PC's have been recruited. This has created a 31 -gigaflop machine that has already provided more than 1400 hours of CPU time. It has all owed databases of millions of compounds to be screened against protein targets in a matter of days. Now, the virtual screening software suitable for distributed environments is developed by BMD. It has been evaluated in terms of the accuracy of the scoring function and the search algorithm for the correct binding mode.

Mobile shopping, through the use of the smart phone, has become a very popular shopping method for consumers due to it not being limited by time or place. This research aims do the following:1)find the causes for consumers shifting to mobile shopping with the focus on fashion and beauty items; and in order to so, this research will use the TAM that was found by David et al (1989), and 2) distinguish any behavioral differences between consumer groups divided into purchasing intention of fashion and beauty items through smart phone. Path analysis was performed to verify the cause-and-effect relationship between the variables. Personal characteristics(i.e. market maven, time orientation), perceived usability, ease of use, attitude towards mobile shopping, and purchase intentions were all treated as dependant variables. The results showed that attitude towards mobile shopping was the most important variable on mobile shopping intentions. Time-oriented and Market Maven were thought to affect mobile shopping attitude and the dependent variables of purchase intention. Also, when purchasing smart phones, consumers highly valued smart phone's popularity; people with higher purchasing intention mainly used entertainment and utility apps. The following are the main reasons for not purchasing through mobile shopping: they are slower than computers, inconveniences in viewing due to small size of the screen, and security issues. The consumers used the internet as their main source of acquiring daily information. In this research, factors that affect the purchase intention were studied. However, it is difficult to firmly insist that this research correctly predicts the actual purchase intention-further studies need to be done to investigate the relationship between mobile purchase intention and actual purchase intention.

VVC (Versatile Video Coding) is a new video compression technique that is being standardized, and it supports HD / UHD / 8K video, and High Dynamic Range (HDR) video with a goal of approximately 2 times higher coding efficiency than the conventional HEVC. It also aims to support a variety of functionalities such as screen content coding, adaptive resolution changes, and independent sub-pictures. In this paper, we investigate the signaling process of intra prediction mode first, and develop an effective coding method of the chroma intra prediction mode. In case of the DM mode, the proposed method simplifies the prediction mode of the chorma intra prediction mode when referring to the angular mode of the luminance block. It can improve coding efficiency of the chroma intra prediction mode, and the proposed process can also consider the size of the block in order to further improve its coding efficiency.

A coprecipitation method was used for preparing Ca and Pt doped $SnO_{2}$-based material. Crystallite size and specific surface area were investigated by TEM, XRD and BET analysis. $SnO_{2}(Ca)/Pt$ based thick film devices were prepared by a screen printing technique for hydrocarbon gas detecting. Then the electrical and sensing characteristics of devices were investigated. As Ca and Pt addition, the crystal growth of $SnO_{2}$ was suppressed during calcining and sintering, and the sensitivity of $SnO_{2}(Ca)/Pt$ thick film to gas was enhanced. Also any difference in the sensing properties has to be attributed to the Pt and Au electrode. For the 2000 ppm $CH_{4}$, the sensitivity of $SnO_{2}(Ca)/Pt$ thick film devices were about 83% at an operating temperature of $400^{\circ}C$.

Korea is one of the countries with a large veterinary antibiotics market, although antimicrobial resistance in bacteria is becoming a serious issue in many countries. The Korean government started to take interest in estimating the effects of livestock manure on rivers and agricultural soils and in monitoring of heavy metals, organic pollutants and antibiotics in the ambient water and soil. In this paper, pre-treatment methods to separate the selected antibiotics from solid samples were reviewed. It is essential to select an efficient and appropriate procedure for pre-treatment due to the high proportion of proteins and organics in biosolid samples. Pre-treatment consists of extraction followed by clean-up. Initially, homogenized samples were extracted by sonication, mechanical agitation or pressurized liquid extraction with methanol/acetonitrile/water mixture under acidic/basic conditions depending on the compound. However, aminoglycosides and colistin were extracted with 5% trichloroacetic acid and HCl, respectively. Since the ${\beta}-lactams$ are easily decomposed in acidic and basic conditions, they were extracted in neutral pH. Filtration with a membrane (pore size, $0.2{\mu}m$) or solid phase extraction with HLB and methanol, as eluents, was normally applied for the clean-up. At least, three different pre-treatment procedures should be adopted to screen all the selected antibiotics in solid samples.

In this paper, we propose a real-time interaction method using user's mouth wind in mobile device. In mobile and virtual reality, user interaction technology is important, but various user interface methods is still lacking. Most of the interaction technologies are hand touch screen touch or motion recognition. In this study, we propose an interface technology that can interact with real time using user's mouth wind. The direction of the wind is determined by using the angle and the position between the user and the mobile device, and the size of the wind is calculated by using the magnitude of user's mouth wind. To show the superiority of the proposed technique, we show the result of visualizing the flow of the vector field in real time by integrating the mouth-wind interface into the Navier-Stokes equations. We show the results of the paper on mobile devices, but can be applied in the Agumented reality(AR) and Virtual reality(VR) fields requiring interface technology.

During cancer therapy by using high energy radiation, it is possible to improve the radiation therapy efficiency by performing a precise radiation therapy after verification of generated setup errors. In this paper, the video based electronic portal imaging device (EPID) which could display the portal image with near real time was developed to verify treatment position errors in radiation therapy instead of an analog typed portal film. This EPID system for applying QA tool of radiation therapy machine was consisted of a metal/fluorescent screen, $45^{\circ}$mirror, camera and image grabber. Radiation field verification has been performed to check quality assurance of the treatment machine itself by using this EPID system. The radiation field error was easily observed by edge detection of irradiated field size on EPID image when $0.6^{\circ}$ shift of collimator angle was generated. So, this implemented EPID system could be used as a radiation QA tool.

$Ni_{0.79}Co_{0.15-x}Cu_xMn_{2.06}O_4$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.09$) thick films were fabricated using the conventional solid-state reaction method and screen-printing method. Structural and electrical properties of specimens based on the amount of Cu were observed in order to investigate their applicability in the infrared detector. All specimens showed a single spinel phase with a homogeneous cubic structure. As the amount of Cu increased, the average grain size increased and was found to be approximately $5.01{\mu}m$ for the $Ni_{0.79}Co_{0.06}Cu_{0.09}Mn_{2.06}O_4$ specimen. The thickness of all specimens was approximately $55{\sim}56{\mu}m$. As Cu content increased, the resistivity and TCR properties at room temperature decreased, and these values for the $Ni_{0.79}Co_{0.06}Cu_{0.09}Mn_{2.06}O_4$ specimen were $502{\Omega}-cm$ and $-3.32%/^{\circ}C$, respectively. The responsivity and noise properties decreased with an increase in Cu content, with the specimen with a Cu content of x=0.09 showing 0.0183 V/W and $5.21{\times}10^{-5}V$, respectively.

The next generation of 3D mobile games market is becoming increasingly active, more as a result of improvement in the CPU speed of hardware phone, embarkation of 3D engines and high memory capacity, In response to this trend, popular 3D games of PS2 (PlayStation2) and popular online games are being launched as mobile games. However, mobile units have different hardware characteristics compared to those of other platforms such as the PC or the game console. Therefore, mobile game versions of the popular PC games face many limitations in many aspects such as in battery capacity, size of display, capacity of the game, and other user interface issues. Among these many limitations, study for allowing low capacity storage of the game is becoming important. In addition, realistic animation of the 3D character on the small screen of the mobile unit is more important than any other matter. The purpose of this study is to find a solution to providing realistic 3D character animation, and for decreasing the storage capacity of character animation for application in 3D mobile games.
