스마트 돈사 내의 열환경 분석에 필수적으로 고려되어야 인자는 가축의 복사 에너지 변화로 볼 수 있다. 열환경 제어의 대상이기도 하지만 회귀적으로 열환경 변화의 인자이기도 하다. 이러한 가축의 복사 에너지 분석을 위하여 시설 내에 용이하게 배포가 가능한 열화상 계측 시스템을 개발하였다. 초소형 마이크로 열화상 계측 시스템에 부가적으로 IOT(Internet of Thing) 기반 기술을 이용한 모듈화 개발을 병행하였다. 열화상 계측 센서로 LWIR(Longwave infrared)영역에 해당하는 $8{\mu}m{\sim}4{\mu}m$의 영역에서 $0.05^{\circ}C$의 분해능을 보이는 $Lepton^{TM}$ (500-0690-00, FLIR, Goleta, CA)모델을 사용하였다. SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) 속도 2 Mhz로 마이크로프로세서(NanoPi NEO Air, FrendlyArm, CA, USA)와 고속 통신을 수행하여 9 Hz의 계측이 가능하다. 열화상 센서와 마이컴으로 구성되는 단위 계측 시스템의 통신 기능 확장을 위하여 다음과 같이 세 단계의 정보 전달 시나리오를 설계하였다. 1) 단독적으로 열화상을 계측 하고 내장된 메모리에 저장하는 형식 2) 인접한 사용자 인터페이스에서 1번 단독 모듈에 접속하여 열화상을 실시간으로 전송하여 화면에 도시하는 형식 3) 2번 사용자 도시모듈과 병행적으로 Local WI-FI 통신을 이용한 모바일 기기에 화면을 도시하는 형식. 이와 같은 계층적이며 모듈화된 계측 시스템을 구성하기 위해서 1번 모듈에 공개 소프트웨어인 Hostapd 2.5(http://w1.fi/hostapd)버전을 설치하였다. 외부 인터넷 환경이 없는 상황에 1번 모듈 단독으로 AP(Access Point) 기능을 제공하여 지근 거리에 있는 2번 모듈과 3번 모바일 기기의 접속을 관리할 수 있다. 2번 모듈의 경우 화면 다수의 1번 모듈에 접속을 교차적으로 수행하는 방식과 2번 모듈 자체가 AP가 되어 1번 모듈의 접속을 허용하는 형태로 구성되어 있다. 계측 시스템의 계측 매트릭스 구성에 따라 선택적으로 결정할 수 있다. 1번 2번 모듈 공통적으로 TCP/IP Listener와 Client 서비스를 병렬적으로 수행할 수 있도록 개발을 하였다. 3번 모바일 기기에서 사용자 인터페이스 구현을 위하여 범용 Android 기반 GUI 프로그램과 Socket 통신을 연동시켰다. 1개의 열화상 Frame의 전송량은 9,600 Byte ($=80{\times}60{\times}2Byte$) 로 WI-FI 통신 전송 시 2회 ~ 6회 정도 내외로 가변적인 통신 수행 횟수를 나타내었다. 센서 계측 시스템과 정보 전송 시스템을 병렬적으로 구성한 모듈화 된 계측시스템의 전 요소에서 센서에서 제공하는 최대 계측 주기인 9 Hz 구현이 일반적으로 가능하였다. 이를 이용한 추후 연구를 통해 가축 객체의 열복사 정보와 돈사 내 열환경 간의 역학성을 연구할 것이다.

Aerosol Deposition (AD) is anovel way to fabricate bioactive ceramic coatings in biomedical implants and prostheses applications. In the present work, silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on commercially pure titanium were prepared by aerosol deposition using Si-HA powders. The incorporation of silicon in the HA lattice is known to improve the bioactivity of the HA, makingsilicon-substitute HA an attractive alternative to pure HA in biomedical applications. Si-HA powders with the chemical formula $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6-x(SiO_4)x(OH)_2-x$, having silicon contents up to x=0.5 (1.4 wt%), were synthesized by solid-state reaction of $Ca_2P_2O_7$, $CaCO_3$, and $SiO_2$. The Si-HA powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The corresponding coatings were also analyzed by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The results revealed that a single-phase Si-HA was obtained without any secondary phases such as $\alpha$- or $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for both the powders and the coatings.The Si-HA coating was about $5\;{\mu}m$ thick, had a densemicrostructure with no cracks or pores. In addition, the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells grown on the Si-HA coatings were significantly higher than those on the bare Ti and pure HA coating. These results revealed the stimulatory effects induced by siliconsubstitution on the cellular response to the HA coating.

The incineration process has commonly used for wastes amount reduction and thermal treatments of pollutants as the technologies accumulated. However, the process is getting negative public images owing to matter of hazardous pollutants emission. Specially dioxins became a main issue and were mostly emitted from municipal solid wastes incineration. In this reason, pyrolysis/gasification/melting process is presented as an alternative of incineration process. The pyrolysis/gasification/melting process, a novel technology, is middle of verification of commercial plant and development of technologies in Korea. But the survey about the pollutant emission from the process, and background data in these facilities is necessary. So in this survey, t is investigated that the behavior of chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols in plasma type pyrolysis/gasification/melting plant of pilot scale. We investigated discharging behavior of each phase of chlorobenzene through each process in the plsasma type pyrolysis/gasification/melting process. From this result, it was found that about 99 percent of particle-phase chlorobenzene was removed, but on the other hand gas-phase chlorobenzene was increased by about 600 percent through heat exchanger, flue gas cooling, system and semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). Also, this investigation presented that di-chlorobenzene(DCB) tri-chlorobenzene(TCB), tetra-chlorobenzene(TeCB), penta-chlorobenzene (PCB), except mono-chlorobenzene(MCB) and hexa-chlorobenzene(HCB) were increased through the flue gas cooling system and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). It was investigated that concentration of particle-phase chlorophenol was decreased by about 66 percent, but on the other hand, concentration of gas-phase chlorophenol was increased by about 170 percent through heat exchanger, flue gas cooling system, and semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). Also, it was found that di-chlorophenol(DCP), tri-chlorophenol(TCP), and penta-chlorophenol(PCP) were increased through the flue gas cooling system, and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). It can be considered that small-scale pilot facility and short investigation period might cause the concentration increase through the flue gas cooling system and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). A further study on real-scale pilot facility and accurate investigation may be required.

Recently, many attempts have been made to reduce the time required for payment in various shopping environments. In addition, for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, artificial intelligence is advancing, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming more compact and cheaper. So, by integrating these two technologies, access to building an unmanned environment to save people time has become easier. In this paper, we propose a smart shopping cart system based on low-cost IoT equipment and deep-learning object-detection technology. The proposed smart cart system consists of a camera for real-time product detection, an ultrasonic sensor that acts as a trigger, a weight sensor to determine whether a product is put into or taken out of the shopping cart, an application for smartphones that provides a user interface for a virtual shopping cart, and a deep learning server where learned product data are stored. Communication between each module is through Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a Hypertext Transmission Protocol network, a You Only Look Once darknet library, and an object detection system used by the server to recognize products. The user can check a list of items put into the smart cart via the smartphone app, and can automatically pay for them. The smart cart system proposed in this paper can be applied to unmanned stores with high cost-effectiveness.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of plant phytase (Phytazyme$^{(R)}$) in corn-soybean meal based diets on utilization of phytase-bound phosphorus in laying hens and evaluate nitrogen(N) digestibility and phosphorus(P) availability in breeders. In the experiment one, three levels of the Phytazyme$^{(R)}$(0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% of diet) were added to diets containing a half of control TCP level(0.96%) for 4 wks. Feed consumption, egg production rate, egg weight and eggshell quality were recorded weekly. At the end of experiment, 8 birds per treatment were sacrificed, liver weight were weighed and right tibiae were removed for determination of P content. The second experiment was conducted to evaluate the P availability and nitrogen digestibility in breeders fed same diets for 2 wks. Feed and excreta were collected to determine the P and N contents for the last three days of experiment two. Addition of Phytazyme$^{(R)}$ resulted in no effects on feed intake, egg product rate, egg weight and egg shell quality. P excretion decreased and its availability enhanced as phytase supplementation increased in diets. Dietary supplementation of Phytazyme$^{(R)}$ above 0.1% level in corn-soybean meal based diets did not have an adverse effect on production and decreased level of phosphorus in excreta.

The calcium to phosphate ratio (Ca/P) in biphasic calcium phosphates powders using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was characterized. The BCP powders with various stoichiometric Ca/P molar ratio were synthesized with coprecipitation process and calcination. Compositions of the powders with Ca/P molar ratio between 1.5 and 1.67 were subjected to starting Ca/P molar ratio, pH = 10, and thermal treatment up to $900^{\circ}C$. The structural, morphological and chemical characterizations for BCP powders with stoichiometric Ca/P ratio were carried out with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and a phase quantification was investigated by XRD. The solubility of HAp, $\beta$-TCP, and BCP powders was tested in the phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at $36.5^{\circ}C$ and pH = 7.4.

Building a large-scale testbed for Future Internet is very important to evaluate a new protocol and new network architecture designed by clean-slate approach. In Korea, new Future Internet testbed project, called FIRST (Future Internet Research for Sustainable Testbed), has been started since Mar. 2009 to design and test new protocols. This project is working together with ETRI and 5 universities. The FIRST@PC is to implement a virtualized hardware-accelerated PC-node by extending the functions of NetFPGA card and build a Future Internet testbed on the KOREN and KREONET for evaluating newly designed protocols and interesting applications. In this paper, we first briefly introduce FIRST@PC project and explain a 'MAC in IP Capsulator' user-space program using raw-socket in Linux to interconnect OpenFlow enabled switch sites on the KOREN and KREONET. After that, we address test results for TCP throughput performance for varying packet size. The test results show that the software based capsulator can support a reasonable bandwidth performance for most of applications.

Burkholderia contaminans PSB-A and Burkholderia ambifaria PSB-B were isolated from button mushroom bed to estimate their phosphate solubility. The phosphate-solubilizing abilities of these strains were assessed by measuring the phosphorus content in a single and co-inoculation medium for 7 days. The co-inoculation of these two strains released the highest content of soluble phosphorus (166.3 ㎍ mL^-1) into the medium, followed by single inoculation of B. contaminans PSB-A (143.73 ㎍ mL^-1) and B. ambifaria PSB-B (127.1 ㎍ mL^-1). The highest pH reduction, organic acid production, and glucose consumption were also observed in the co-inoculation medium. According to the plant growth promotion bioassay, co-inoculation enhanced the growth of romaine lettuce much more than the single inoculation (20.4% for leaf widths and 16.6% for root lengths). Although no significant difference was noted between single and co-inoculation of bacterial strains in terms of phosphorous release and plant growth, co-inoculation of PSB may have a beneficial effect on crop growth due to a synergistic effect between the strains.

This paper presents the development and implementation of a zero-copy file transfer mechanism that improves the efficiency of file transfers for PC cluster systems using hardware-based VIA(Virtual Interface Architecture) network adapters. VIA is one of the representative user-level communication interfaces, but because there is no library for file transfer, one copy occurs between kernel buffer and user boilers. Our mechanism presents a file transfer primitive that does not require the file system to be modified and allows the NIC to transfer data from the kernel buffer to the remote node directly without copying. To do this, we have developed a hardware-based VIA network adapter, which supports the PCI 64bit/66MHz bus and Gigabit Ethernet, as a NIC, and implemented a zero-copy file transfer mechanism. The experimental results show that the overhead of data coy and context switching in the sender is greatly reduced and the CPU utilization of the sender is reduced to $30\%\~40\%$ of the VIA send/receive mechanism. We demonstrate the performance of the zero-copy file transfer mechanism experimentally. and compare the results with those from existing file transfer mechanisms.

GaN 기반의 상부발광형 LED는 동작되는 동안 생기는 전기적 단락, 그리고 칩 위의 p-형 전극과 n-형 전극 사이에 생기는 누설전류 및 신뢰성 확보를 위하여 칩 표면에 passivation 층을 형성하게 된다. SiO2, Si3N4와 같은 passivation layers는 일반적으로 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)공정을 이용한다, 하지만 이는 공정 특성상 plasma로 인한 damage가 유발되기 때문에 표면 누설 전류가 증가 한다. 이로 인해 forward voltage와 reverse leakage current의 특성이 저하된다. 본 실험에서는 원자층 단위의 박막 증착으로 인해 PECVD보다 단차 피복성이 매우 우수한 PEALD(Plasma Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition)공정을 이용하여 Al2O3 passivation layer를 증착한 후, 표면 누설전류와 빛의 출력 특성에 대해서 조사해 보았다. PSS (patterned sapphire substrate) 위에 성장된 LED 에피구조를 사용하였고, TCP(Trancformer Copled Plasma)장비를 사용하여 에칭 공정을 진행하였다. 이때 투명전극을 증착하기 위해 e-beam evaporator를 사용하여 Ni/Au를 각각 $50\;{\AA}$씩 증착한 후 오믹 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 해주었다. 그리고 Ti/Au($300/4000{\AA}$) 메탈을 사용하여 p-전극과 n-전극을 형성하였다. Passivation을 하지 않은 경우에는 reverse leakage current가 -5V 에서 $-1.9{\times}10-8$ A 로 측정되었고, SiO2와 Si3N4을 passivation으로 이용한 경우에는 각각 $8.7{\times}10-9$과 $-2.2{\times}10-9$로 측정되었다. Fig. 1 에서 보면 알 수 있듯이 5 nm의 Al2O3 film을 passivation layer로 이용할 경우 passivation을 하지 않은 경우를 제외한 다른 passivation 경우보다 reverse leakage current가 약 2 order ($-3.46{\times}10-11$ A) 정도 낮게 측정되었다. 그 이유는 CVD 공정보다 짧은 ALD의 공정시간과 더 낮은 RF Power로 인해 plasma damage를 덜 입게 되어 나타난 것으로 생각된다. Fig. 2 에서는 Al2O3로 passivation을 한 소자의 forward voltage가 SiO2와 Si3N4로 passivation을 한 소자보다 각각 0.07 V와 0.25 V씩 낮아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Fig. 3 에서는 Al2O3로 passivation을 한 소자의 output power가 SiO2와 Si3N4로 passivation을 한 소자보다 각각 2.7%와 24.6%씩 증가한 것을 볼 수 있다. Output power가 증가된 원인으로는 향상된 forward voltage 및 reverse에서의 leakage 특성과 공기보다 높은 Al2O3의 굴절률이 광출력 효율을 증가시켰기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
