연관규칙 마이닝과정에서의 빈발항목 탐색의 대표적인 방법으로 알려진 Apriori 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 트랜잭션 데이터베이스(TDB)에서 생성되는 각 패스의 k-itemset들에 대해 각각 트랜잭션 ID List(TIDist)를 유지하고 이를 이용해 (k+1)-itemset을 효율적으로 찾아내는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 frequent (k+1)-itemset(k>0)의 빈도수 및 TIDList를 TDB 에 대한 스캔이 전혀 없이 k-itemset의 TIDList로부터 직접 구한다. 이는 빈발항목집합을 찾기 위한 탐색 complexity는 크게 줄여줄 뿐 아니라 시간 변화에 따른 빈발항목집합의 분포 정보를 제공해 준다.

In this study, we analyzed the effects of TID(Total Ionizing Dese) and TREE(Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics) on nMOSFET and pMOSFET fabricated by 0.18um CMOS process. The size of nMOSFET and pMOSFET is 100um/1um(W/L). The TID test was conducted up to 1 Mrad(Si) with a gamma-ray(Co-60). During the TID test, the nMOSFET generated leakage current proportional to the applied dose, but that of the pMOSFET was remained in a steady state. The TREE test was conducted at TEST LINAC in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory with a maximum dose-rate of $3.16{\times}10^8rad(si)/s$. In that test nMOESFET generated a large amount of photocurrent at a maximum of $3.16{\times}10^8rad(si)/s$. Whereas, pMOSFETs showed high TREE immunity with a little amount of photocurrent at the same dose rate. Based on the results of this experiment, we will progress the research of the radiation hardening for CMOS unit devices.

The object of this paper is to evaluate the fission product inventories and radiological doses in a non-LOCA event, based on the U.S. NRC's regulatory methodologies recommended by the TID-14844 and the RG 1.195. For choosing a non-LOCA event, one fuel assembly was assumed to be melted by a channel blockage accident. The Hanul nuclear power reactor unit 6 and the CE $16{\times}16$ fuel assembly were selected as the computational models. The burnup cross section library for depletion calculations was produced using the TRITON module in the SCALE6.1 computer code system. Based on the recently licensed values for fuel enrichment and burnup, the source term calculation was performed using the ORIGEN-ARP module. The fission product inventories released into the environment were obtained with the assumptions of the TID-14844 and the RG 1.195. With two kinds of source terms, the radiological doses of public in normal environment reflecting realistic circumstances were evaluated by applying the average condition of meteorology, inhalation rate, and shielding factor. The statistical analysis was first carried out using consecutive three year-meteorological data measured at the Hanul site. The annual-averaged atmospheric dispersion factors were evaluated at the shortest representative distance of 1,000 m, where the residents are actually able to live from the reactor core, according to the methodology recommended by the RG 1.111. The Korean characteristic-inhalation rate and shielding factor of a building were considered for a series of dose calculations.

An instrumentation amplifier (IA) and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are essential circuit blocks for accurate and robust sensor readout systems. This paper introduces recent advances in radiation-hardening by design (RHBD) techniques applied for the sensor readout integrated circuits (IC), e.g., the three-op-amp IA and the successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC, operating against total ionizing dose (TID) and singe event effect (SEE) in harsh radiation environments. The radiation-hardened IA utilized TID monitoring and adaptive reference control to compensate for transistor parameter variations due to radiation effects. The radiation-hardened SAR ADC adopts delay-based double-feedback flip-flops to prevent soft errors which flips the data bits. Radiation-hardened IA and ADC were verified through compact model simulation, and fabricated CMOS chips were measured in radiation facilities to confirm their radiation tolerance.

In a solar cell, degradation refers to the decrease in performance parameters caused by defects originated due to various causes. During the fabrication process of solar cells, degradation is generally related to the processes such as passivation or firing. There exist sources of many types of degradation; however, the exact cause of Light and elevated Temperature Induced Degradation (LeTID) is yet to be determined. It is reported that the degradation and the regeneration occur due to the recombination of hydrogen and an arbitrary substance. In this paper, we report the deposition of Al₂O₃ and SiN_X on silicon wafers used in the Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) solar structure and its degradation pattern. A higher degradation rate was observed in the sample with single layer of Al₂O₃ only, which indicates that the degradation is affected by the presence or the absence of a passivation thin film. In order to alleviate the degradation, optimization of different steps should be carried out in consideration of degradation in the solar cell fabrication process.

This paper presents a radiation-hardened-by-design preamplifier that utilizes a self-compensation technique with a charge-sensitive amplifier (CSA) and replica for total ionizing dose (TID) effects. The CSA consists of an operational amplifier (OPAMP) with a 6-bit binary weighted current source (BWCS) and feedback network. The replica circuit is utilized to compensate for the TID effects of the CSA. Two comparators can detect the operating point of the replica OPAMP and generate appropriate signals to control the switches of the BWCS. The proposed preamplifier was fabricated using a general-purpose complementary metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistor 0.18 ㎛ process and verified through a test up to 230 kGy (SiO₂) at a rate of 10.46 kGy (SiO₂)/h. The code of the BWCS control circuit varied with the total radiation dose. During the verification test, the initial value of the digital code was 39, and a final value of 30 was observed. Furthermore, the preamplifier output exhibited a maximum variation error of 2.39%, while the maximum rise-time error was 1.96%. A minimum signal-to-noise ratio of 49.64 dB was measured.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide Therefore, identification of genetic as well as environmental factors is very important in developing novel methods of lung cancer prevention. However, this is a multi-layered problem. Therefore a lung cancer risk prediction system is here proposed which is easy, cost effective and time saving. Materials and Methods: Initially 400 cancer and non-cancer patients' data were collected from different diagnostic centres, pre-processed and clustered using a K-means clustering algorithm for identifying relevant and non-relevant data. Next significant frequent patterns are discovered using AprioriTid and a decision tree algorithm. Results: Finally using the significant pattern prediction tools for a lung cancer prediction system were developed. This lung cancer risk prediction system should prove helpful in detection of a person's predisposition for lung cancer. Conclusions: Most of people of Bangladesh do not even know they have lung cancer and the majority of cases are diagnosed at late stages when cure is impossible. Therefore early prediction of lung cancer should play a pivotal role in the diagnosis process and for an effective preventive strategy.

Asynchronous counters, where the counter value is changed not by a synchronizing clock but by outer inputs, are used in various modern digital systems such as spaceborne electronics. In this paper, we propose a scheme of fault tolerance for asynchronous counters with critical races caused by total ionizing dose (TID) in space. As a typical design flaw of asynchronous digital circuits, critical races cause an asynchronous circuit to show non-deterministic behavior, i.e., the next stable state of a state transition is not a fixed value but may be any value of a state set. Using the corrective control scheme for asynchronous sequential machines, this paper provides an existence condition and design procedure for a state feedback controller that can invalidate the effect of critical races. We implement the proposed control system in VHDL code and conduct experiments to demonstrate that the proposed control system can overcome critical races.

This paper proposes a user mobility management scheme which supports seamless service even if a user changes his accessing terminal in service in IP-based convergence network. Most of ongoing researches concerning mobility management as well as the existing mobility schemes have been focused to support terminal mobility. It is limited to support a variety of mobility types such as user mobility. The proposed scheme uses the mapping relationship between UID(User Identifier), user specific identifier and TID(Terminal Identifier), specific terminal identifier and forms packet address with user specific permanent 3 layer address for session continuity in case of user mobility. We numerically analyze and compare handover signaling cost between the existing user mobility scheme and the proposed scheme. The result shows that the proposed scheme has lower handover signaling cost than the existing one, [1].
