Hetero-dimer anions of naphthalene (Np), anthracene (An), phenanthrene (Ph) and pyrene (Py) were investigated using the time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS), anion photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and theoretical calculation. There are two possible geometries with their electron affinity (EA) difference: parallel displaced (PD) and T-shaped. Dispersion force plays a key role in PD structure with the formation of a new anionic core while ${\pi}$-hydrogen interaction plays a key role in T-shaped structure with the monomer anionic core. The optimized structures and charge distributions can simply be explained by the relative difference of EA.

The multi-core processors are being widely exploited by many high-end systems. With significant advances in processor architecture, the network band-width required on the high-end systems is increasing drastically. It is therefore highly desirable to manage multiple cores efficiently to achieve high network band-width with minimum resource requirements. Modern operating systems, however, still have significant design and optimization space to leverage the network performance over multi-core systems. In this paper, we suggest a novel networking process scheduling scheme, which decides the best processor affinity of networking processes based on the processor cache layout, communication intensiveness, and processor loads. The experimental results show that the scheduling scheme implemented in the Linux kernel can improve the network bandwidth and the effectiveness of processor utilization by 20% and 59%, respectively.

Mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) has been used to enhance the dispersity of Au nanoparticles in organic solvent and the affinity between the Au nanoparticles surface and titanium dioxide shell in the synthesis of $Au/TiO_2$ core-shell composite nanoparticles. The dispersity of the MUA-coated Au nanoparticles in ethanol aqueous solution with different concentration of $H_2O$ was investigated by UV-Vis. absorption spectrum and the coating amount of MUA was varied from 0.02 mM to 1.0 mM. The MUA-coated Au nanoparticles were highly dispersed in pure $H_2O$ in the wide range of the coating amount of MUA. On the contrary, the MUAcoated Au nanoparticles showed an enhanced stability in the ethanol/$H_2O$=8/2 mixed solution only when the coating amount of MUA was 0.05 mM, and in the ethanol/$H_2O$=7/3 mixed solution when the coating amount of MUA was in the range from 0.02 mM to 0.17 mM. From this systematic study, it can be inferred that the stability and the dispersibility of Au nanoparticles in organic solvents are highly sensitive towards the amount of MUA coating.

The CBD(component based development) method has recently been on the rise as the main current among all fields of developing Information Systems. The developing system by building and integrating of components is encouraged in GIS sphere. Business domain which considerably identifies components occupies GIS shpere rather then any other sphere. Arithmetic function is quite needed in GIS sphere but non-arithmetic functions are also used in GIS sphere as well as in enterprise sphere. Component is characterized by ensuring the reuse of itself. The efficiency of reusing component is promoted as the component is functionally simple and is packed to a minimum. The GIS Component Extraction Method has already been presented in several studies but this study is about the GIS Component Extraction by the Affinity Analysis Method. CBD uses UML on a basis and the core of the UML is consisted of the use case and the class. The purpose of the Affinity Analysis is a study how relate between the use case and the class in a certain business domain and then the results identify the component. The Affinity Analysis is useful not only in GIS but also in every business domain and is considered to be popular as the procedure of this method is not complex at all.

We perform density functional theory calculations to study the CO and $O_2$ adsorption chemistry of Pt@X core@shell bimetallic nanoparticles (X = Pd, Rh, Ru, Au, or Ag). To prevent CO-poisoning of Pt nanoparticles, we introduce a Pt@X core-shell nanoparticle model that is composed of exposed surface sites of Pt and facets of X alloying element. We find that Pt@Pd, Pt@Rh, Pt@Ru, and Pt@Ag nanoparticles spatially bind CO and $O_2$, separately, on Pt and X, respectively. Particularly, Pt@Ag nanoparticles show the most well-balanced CO and $O_2$ binding energy values, which are required for facile CO oxidation. On the other hand, the $O_2$ binding energies of Pt@Pd, Pt@Ru, and Pt@Rh nanoparticles are too strong to catalyze further CO oxidation because of the strong oxygen affinity of Pd, Ru, and Rh. The Au shell of Pt@Au nanoparticles preferentially bond CO rather than $O_2$. From a catalysis design perspective, we believe that Pt@Ag is a better-performing Pt-based CO-tolerant CO oxidation catalyst.

낮은 오버헤드를 갖는 실시간 스케줄링 알고리즘은 멀티코어 프로세서가 임베디드 시스템에서 사용되기 위한 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 멀티코어 환경에서 스케줄링 오버헤드는 주로 메모리 성능을 저해시키는 코어간 태스크 이동에 의해 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 이용률 면에서 최적으로 알려진 Pfair 스케줄링 알고리즘을 스케줄링 시에 태스크의 CPU 코어 할당 방식에 대해 스케줄링 오버헤드를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 동일 코어 기반 태스크 할당 방식을 도입함으로 인해서 태스크 이동 횟수를 크게 줄일 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This paper investigated wear comfort property of heat storage knitted fabrics for high emotional garment. For this purpose, ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was prepared and various physical properties such as thermal, wicking and drying characteristics were measured. In addition, far-infrared emission characteristics of ZrC imbedded PET was analysed and tactile hand property and dye affinity of ZrC imbedded knitted fabric were also studied in comparison with regular and other commercial heat storage PET knitted fabrics. It was observed that Zr imbedded amount in the yarn was 19.29% by ingredient analysis and far-infrared emission energy was $3.65{\times}10^2W/m^2$, emissivity was 0.906 at the range of wavelength $6{\sim}20{\mu}m$. It was found that maximum heat flow (Qmax) of ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was lower than that of regular PET one and warmth keepability rate was higher than that of regular PET one, which means ZrC imbedded PET have heat storage property. Drying property of ZrC imbedded knitted fabric was better than that of regular PET one due to heat by far-infrared emitted from ZrC in the core of filament. It revealed that wicking property of the ZrC imbedded fabric was not influenced by far-infrared emission, but affected by fibre physical properties. Tactile hand property of ZrC imbedded knitted fabric was not influenced by imbedding ZrC in the filament but affected preferably by structure of knitted fabric. Dye affinity of ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was less influenced by dyeing temperature and time than regular PET knitted one.

The behavior of peptide or protein solutes in saline aqueous solution is a fundamental topic in physical chemistry. Addition of ions can strongly alter the thermodynamic and physical properties of peptide molecules in solution. In order to study the effects of added ionic salts on protein conformation and dynamics, we have used the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the behavior of Staphylococcus aureus Hfq protein under two different ionic concentrations: 0.1 M NaCl and 1.0 M NaCl in presence and absence of RNA (a hepta-oligoribonucleotide AU5G). Hfq, a global regulator of gene expression is highly conserved and abundant RNA-binding protein. It is already reported that in vivo the increase of ionic strength results in a drastic reduction of Hfq affinity for $Q{\beta}$ RNA and reduces the tendency of aggregation of Escherichia coli host factor hexamers. Our results revealed the crucial role of 0.1 M NaCl Hfq system on the bases with strong hydrogen bonding interactions and by stabilizing the aromatic stacking of Tyr42 residue of the adjacent subunits/monomers with the adenine and uridine nucleobases. An increase in RNA pore diameter and weakened compactness of the Hfq-RNA complex was clearly observed in 1.0 M NaCl Hfq system with bound RNA. Aggregation of monomers in Hfq and the interaction of Hfq with RNA are greatly affected due to the presence of high ionic strength. Higher the ionic concentration, weaker is the aggregation and interaction. Our results were compatible with the experimental data and this is the first theoretical report for the experimental study done in 1980 by Uhlenbeck group for the present system.

The persistent and ubiquitous environmental contaminant, tributyltin chloride (TBT), induces not only imposex in gastropods but also the differentiation of adipocytes in vitro and increases adipose mass in vivo in vertebrates. TBT is a nanomolar affinity ligand for retinoid X receptor (RXR) in the rock shell(Thais clavigera) and for both the RXR and the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor $\gamma(PPAR\gamma)$ in the amphibian (Xenopus laevis), mouse, and human. The molecular mechanisms underlying induction of imposex by TBT have not been clarified, though several hypotheses are proposed. TBT promotes adipogenesis in the murine 3T3-L1 cell model and perturbs key regulators of adipogenesis and lipogenic pathways in vivo primarily through activation of RXR and $PPAR\gamma$. Moreover, in utero exposure to TBT leads to strikingly elevated lipid accumulation in adipose depots, liver, and testis of neonate mice and results in increased adipose mass in adults. In X. laevis, ectopic adipocytes form in and around gonadal tissues following organotin, RXR or $PPAR\gamma$ ligand exposure. TBT represents the first example of an environmental endocrine disrupter that promotes adverse effects from gastropods to mammals.
