소프트웨어 개발에는 시스템 엔지니어링 프로세스와 유사한 요구 사항 분석, 설계, 구현, 단위 테스트 및 통합 테스트를 포함한 일련의 단계가 포함된다. 본 연구는 다기능 레이다 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위해 MathWorks사의 모델 기반 설계 플랫폼을 활용하고 타당성과 효율성을 평가하였다. 기존 레이다 소프트웨어의 개발은 통합적인 형태보다는 단일 알고리즘 단위로 이루어졌기 때문에, 요구 분석이나 통합 테스트가 별도로 이루어졌고, 이들에 대한 통합 관리를 위해 추가적인 도구나 노력을 요구하였다. 본 논문에서 적용한 모델 기반 플랫폼은 요구사항 분석 및 할당, 시뮬레이션을 통한 알고리즘 개발, 배포를 위한 자동 코드 생성, 통합 요구사항 테스트 및 결과 관리를 위한 통합 개발 환경을 제공한다. 이 플랫폼을 통해 다기능 레이다 소프트웨어의 다단계 모델을 개발하고, 테스트 하네스를 사용하여 검증하며, 요구 사항을 관리하고, 자동 코드 생성툴을 사용하여 하드웨어 배포 가능한 언어로 변환하는 전과정을 수행하였다. 이러한 모델 기반 통합 개발을 통해 잘못된 의사소통이나 기타 인적 요인으로 인한 오류를 줄이고 개발 일정과 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In general satellite verification process, the AOCS (Attitude & Orbit Control Subsystem) should be verified through several kinds of verification test which can be divided into two major category like FBT (Fixed Bed Test) and polarity test. And each test performed in different levels such as ETB (Electrical Test Bed) and satellite level. The test method of FBT is to simulate satellite dynamics with sensors and actuators supported by necessary environmental models in ETB level. The VDS (Vehicle Dynamic Simulator) try to make the real situation as possible as the on-board processor will undergo after launch. The purpose of FBT test is to verify that attitude control logic function and hardware interface is designed as expected with closed loop simulation. The VDS is one of major equipments for performing FBT and consists of software and hardware parts. The VDS operates in VME environments with target board, several commercial boards and custom boards based on the VxWorks real time operating system. In order to make time synchronization between VDS and satellite on-board processor, high reliable semaphore was implemented to make synchronization with the interrupt signal from on-board processor. In this paper, the real-time operating environment used on VDS equipment is introduced, and the hardware and software configurations of VDS summarized in the systematic point of view. Also, we try to figure out the operational concept of VDS and AOCS verification test method with close-loop simulation.

Most conventional processors execute program instructions in a sequential manner. On the other hand, VLIW processor can execute multiple instructions at the same time. It exploits instruction level parallelism to improve system performance. To that end, program code should be rearranged to VLIW instruction format by a compiler. The compiler determine an optimal execution order of instructions of a program code. This instruction ordering is also called instruction scheduling. The scheduling is an algorithm that decides the execution order for instruction codes in loop parts of a program so that the instruction level parallelism can be maximized. In this research, we apply an existing scheduling algorithm to a VLIW FCC and describe analysis results to further improve its performance. And, we present a solution to solve some limitation of the existing scheduling technique. By using our solution, FCC's performance can be improved upto 32% compared to the existing scheduling only setting.

Over the past few decades, a considerable number of studies have been conducted on the technologies to build an UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) control system. Today, focus in research has moved from a standalone control system towards a network-centric control system for multiple UAV systems. Enabling the design of such complex systems in easily understandable forms that are amenable to rigorous analysis is a highly desirable goal. In this paper, we discuss our experimental evaluation of the Time-triggered Message-triggered Object (TMO) structuring scheme in the design of the UAV control system. The TMO scheme enables high-level structuring together with design-time guaranteeing of accurate timings of various critical control actions with significantly smaller efforts than those required when using lower-level structuring schemes based on direct programming of threads, UDP invocations, etc. Our system was validated by use of environment simulator developed based on an open source flight simulator named FlightGear. The TMO-structured UAV control software running on a small computing platform was easily connected to a simulator of the surroundings of the control system, i.e., the rest of the UAV and the flight environment. Positive experiences in both the TMO-structured design and the validation are discussed along with potentials for future expansion in this paper.

Around 2002, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) identified a need to re-capitalize their Reference Station (RS) and Integrity Monitor (IM) equipment used in the Nationwide Differential Global Position System (NDGPS). Commercially available off-the-shelf differential RS and IM equipment lacked the open architecture required to support long-term goals that include future system improvements such as use of new civil frequencies on L2 and L5 and realization of a higher rate NDGPS beacon data channel intended to support RTK. The first step in preparing for this future NDGPS was to port current RTCM SC-104 compatible RS and IM functionality onto an open architecture PC-based platform. Trimble's product Charisma is a PC-based RS and IM software designed to meet these USCG goals. In fact USCG engineers provided key designs and design insights throughout the development. We cannot overstate the contribution of the USCG engineers. Fundamental requirements for this effort were that it be sufficiently flexible in hardware and software design to support fluid growth and exploitation of new signals and technologies as they become available, yet remain backward compatible with legacy user receivers and existing site hardware and system architecture. These fundamental goals placed an implicit adaptability requirement on the design of the replacement RS and IM. Additionally, project engineers were to remain focused on sustaining the high level of differential GPS service that 1.5 million legacy users have come to depend on. This paper will present new hardware and software (i.e., Trimble's Charisma software) architecture for the next generation NDGPS RS and IM. This innovative approach to engineering on an open architecture PC-based platform allows the system to continue to fulfill legacy NDGPS system requirements and allows the USCG and others to pursue a scalable hardware re-capitalization strategy. We will use the USCG's recapitalization project to explain the essential role of the Charisma software.

Etoposide is a chemotherapeutic medication used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer. It is established that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy can enhance the effects of anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we investigated whether PEMFs influence the anti-cancer effects of etoposide in MCF-7 cells and determined the signal pathways affected by PEMFs. We observed that co-treatment with etoposide and PEMFs led to a decrease in viable cells compared with cells solely treated with etoposide. PEMFs elevated the etoposide-induced PARP cleavage and caspase-7/9 activation and enhanced the etoposide-induced down-regulation of survivin and up-regulation of Bax. PEMF also increased the etoposide-induced activation of DNA damage-related molecules. In addition, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was slightly elevated during etoposide treatment and significantly increased during co-treatment with etoposide and PEMF. Moreover, treatment with ROS scavenger restored the PEMF-induced decrease in cell viability in etoposide-treated MCF-7 cells. These results combined indicate that PEMFs enhance etoposide-induced cell death by increasing ROS induction-DNA damage-caspase-dependent apoptosis.

Background: Physical activity (PA) is ranked as a leading health indicator and the workplace is a key setting to promote PA. The purpose of this study was to examine how goal-setting and exercise self-efficacy (SE) during a health promotion program influenced PA level among Japanese workers. Methods: Using a cross-sectional study design, we surveyed 281 employees. The short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess PA level. Exercise SE was assessed using a partially modified version of Oka's exercise SE scale. Personal goals were assessed as the total numbers of "yes" responses to five items regarding "details of personal goals to perform PA". A mediational model was used to examine whether exercise SE mediates between the number of personal goals and PA level. Results: The mean age of the participants was 46.3 years, 76.2% were men, and the most common occupational category was software engineer (30.6%). The average PA level per week exceeded the recommended level in 127 participants (45.2%). One hundred and eighty-four participants (65.5%) set some form of concrete personal goal to perform PA. The relationship between the number of personal goals and PA level was mediated by exercise SE. Conclusion: Our study showed that exercise SE mediates goal-setting and increases PA. The results suggest that the components of PA promotion programs should be tailored to enhance participants' confidence in performing PA.

Wireless communication has become the promising technology in the recent times because of its applications in Internet of Things( IoT) devices. The IEEE 802.15.4e has become the key technology for IoT devices which utilizes the Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) networks for the communication between the devices. In this paper, we develop a Two Level Scheduling Algorithm (TLSA) for scheduling multiple packets with different arrival rate at the source nodes in a TSCH networks based on the link activated by a centralized scheduler. TLSA is developed by considering three types of links in a network such as link i with packets arrival type 1, link j with packets arrival type 2, link k with packets arrival type 3. For the data packets arrival, two stages in a network is considered.At the first stage, the packets are considered to be of higher priority.At the second stage, the packets are considered to be of lower priority.We introduce level 1 schedule for the packets at stage 1 and level 2 schedule for the packets at stage 2 respectively. Finally, the TLSA is validated with the two different energy functions i.e., y = e^ax - 1 and y = 0.5x² using MATLAB 2017a software for the computation of average and worst ratios of the two levels.

본 논문에서는 임베디드 시스템에서 사용되는 대표적 저전력 마이크로컨트롤러인 ATmega128을 대상으로 명령어 레벨의 소모전류를 측정, 모델링하였다. 마이크로컨트롤러가 소모하는 전류는 메모리의 접근 유무에 의해 차이가 나며, 메모리 접근 명령어가 메모리 비접근 명령어에 비해 내부 메모리 기준으로 17% 더 높은 전류소모를 나타낸다. 프로그램의 메모리 접근 명령어 사용빈도가 높을수록, 메모리 계층구조에서 낮은 계층의 정보를 접근할수록 프로그램의 전력소모는 비례한다고 관찰된다. 본 논문에서는 명령어 레벨의 소모전류모델화를 통하여 실제 프로그램의 전력소모를 예측, 분석하고 메모리 접근 명령어의 비율을 줄이는 방향으로 프로그램의 전력소모를 최적화한다. 또한 마이크로컨트롤러 기반 시스템에서 프로그램 실행 전력을 최적화할 수 있는 기법을 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 측면에서 다양하게 제안한다.
