The risks in global grain markets have increased due to COVID-19, extreme weather, natural disasters, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Additionally, in Korea, the locations for grain manufacturing have shifted owing to various factors. Despite these environmental changes, grain handling ports in Korea are limited in their capacity to respond promptly, resulting in operational inefficiencies. This study clarified changes in grain throughput and analyzed the efficiency of grain handling ports using the Super-SBM model. It suggested that the ports in Pyeongtaek and Gunsan were the most efficient, based on CCR and BCC results in 2022. These findings could provide several insights related to port operating plans for port operators, managers, and developers.

In a SoC environment, asynchronous design techniques offer solutions for problems of synchronous design techniques. Asynchronous FIFOs have the advantages of easier interconnection methods and higher throughput than synchronous ones. Low latency and high throughput are two imp ortant standards in asynchronous FIFOs. We present low latency asynchronous FIFO in the paper, which optimizes GasP[6]. Pre-layout of HSPICE simulations of a 8-stage FIFO on 1-bit datapath using Anam's 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ technology indicates 17% lower latency than GasP.

The study of molecular markers to improve crops largely depends on the availability of rapid and of efficient DNA extraction methods. Here we developed a cheap and convenient method to isolate genomic DNA from rice grains suitable for large-scale microsatellite analysis. We confirmed that the isolated rice DNA is suitable for PCR analysis with STS marker and SNP marker, as well as microsatellite marker. Further, we established high-throughput DNA extraction system in a 96-well plate format which make it possible high-throughput analysis of microsatellite markers with rice grains. This implies that the new method could be a useful tool for other types of marker analysis in large scale.

KNN-based ceramics modified with small amounts of $Bi_4Zr_3O_{12}$ (BiZ) has been synthesized using high-throughput experimentation (HTE). The results from X-ray diffraction show that for samples with base composition $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ (KNN), the phase present changes from orthorhombic to pseudo-cubic with more than 0.2 mol% BiZ addition; for samples with base composition $(K_{0.48}Na_{0.48}Li_{0.04})(Nb_{0.9}Ta_{0.1})O_3$ (KNNLT), the phase present changes from a mixture of orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetry to pseudo-cubic with more than 0.4 mol % while for samples with base composition $(K_{0.48}Na_{0.48}Li_{0.04})(Nb_{0.86}Ta_{0.1}Sb_{0.04})O_3$ (KNNLST), the phase present is tetragonal with <0.3 mol% BiZ addition and transforms to pseudo-cubic with more dopant addition. The microstructures of the samples show that addition of BiZ decreases the average grain size and increases the volume of pores at the grain boundaries. The values of dielectric constant for KNN and KNNLT compositions increase slightly with BiZ addition while that for KNNLST decreases gradually with BiZ addition. The dielectric loss values are between 0.02 and 0.04 for KNNLT and KNNLST compositions while they are ~ 0.05 for KNN samples. The resistivity values increases with BiZ addition and values in the range of $10^{10}{\Omega}cm$ and $10^{12}{\Omega}cm$ are obtained. The piezoelectric charge coefficient ($d{^*}_{33}$) is highest for KNNLST samples and decreases gradually from ~400 pm/V to ~100 pm/V with BiZ addition.

Integrating the driver circuitry directly onto the glass substrate would be one of the advantages of polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) TFT-(LCD). Low-temperature poly-Si TFT(LTPS) is well-suited for higher-definition display applications due to its intrinsically superior electrical characteristics. In order to improve LTPS electrical characteristics, currently the excimer laser-induced crystallization (ELC) processes and sequential lateral solidification method were developed. Grain size of the poly-Si is mainly affected by beam pitch and energy density. Key parameter for making a larger poly-Si using excimer laser annealing(ELA) and increasing a throughput is due to increase in beam pitch and energy density to a certain degree. Furthermore, thin $SiO_{2}$ capping is effective to suppress the protrusion of the poly-Si thin films and to reduce the interface state density. From the ELA process, we are able to control grain size by varying different parameters such as number of shots and energy density.

Deep submicron device contact hole에서의 bottom step coverage의 향상 및 SALICIDE공정의 필요성에 의해 collimated sputtering 및 ionized sputtering 등의 다양한 증착방법이 연구되어왔다. 반도체소자의 고집적화 및 미세화에 따라서 기존의 증착방법보다 더 높은 throughput을 가진 새로운 증착방법의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. Collimated sputtering방식으로 증착한 박막의 경우에는 증착속도가 느리고 collimator의 사용기간에 따른 공정조건의 변화가 단점으로 작용하였고 새로이 ionzied sputtering방식이 개발되었다. ionzied sputtering방식은 증착되는 금속 입자를 이온화시키고 기판에 바이어스를 걸어서 증착되는 입자의 방향성 및 증착속도의 향상을 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 고집적도가 더욱 증가함에 따라서 더 높은 박막의 증착속도, bottom step coverage의 향상, 방향성의 향상과 더불어 증착되는 입자의 이온화 율의 증가 및 기존의 증착방식에 의한 박막보다 향상된 물성을 가진 박막증착의 필요성에 의해 hollow cathode magnetron sputtering방식이 연구되었다. HCM방식으로 titanium 박막을 증착하여 collimated sputtering 및 ionize sputtering 방식으로 증착한 titanium 박막과 물성을 비교해서 증착방식에 따른 박막물성의 차이를 연구하였다. 증착전에 기판온도는 30$0^{\circ}C$를 유지하였고 base pressure는 5.0$\times$10-9torr, working pressure는 5.7m torr로 유지하였다. power는 30kW를 가하여 50nm두께의 titanium박막을 증착하였다. 증착된 박막의 미세구조는 TEM 및 XRD로 분석하였다. HCM방식으로 증착한 titanium박막은 5nm두께의 비정질 층이 관찰되었고 ionized sputtering방식으로 증착한 titatnium박막에서 나타나는 것으로 보고된 silicon (002)와 titanium (0002) eledtron diffraction spot사이의 (10-10)spot은 관찰되지 않았다. 박막은 크고 작은 grain의 연속적 분포를 가졌고 HCM방식으로 증착한 titanium박막의 in-plane grain size가 다른 증착방식으로 증착한 박막에 비해 크게 관찰됨을 Plan-view TEM 분석을 통해서 확인되었다.

We propose an improved laser crystallization method based on a directional lateral growth technique. To assess the feasibility of this technique, we have developed an experimental prototype using a 351 nm XeF excimer laser and special optics to produce a long and extremely sharp, narrow beam without need for a photo type mask pattern. Using this system, we have demonstrated very uniform directional laterally grown poly-Si films without any grain boundary protrusions. We believe this method can meet the high performance and uniformity requirements needed for future TFTs in System On Panel (SOP) and OLED applications, as well as providing high process throughput for mass production.

The National Institute of Agricultural Sciences of the Rural Developement Administration (NAS, RDA) is conducting various studies on various crops, such as monitoring the cultivation environment and analyzing harvested seeds for high-throughput phenotyping. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based rice seed segmentation method to analyze the seeds of various crops owned by the NAS. Using Mask-RCNN deep learning model, we perform the rice seed segmentation from manually taken images under specific environment (constant lighting, white background) for analyzing the seed characteristics. For this purpose, we perform the parameter tuning process of the Mask-RCNN model. By the proposed method, the results of the test on seed object detection showed that the accuracy was 82% for rice stem image and 97% for rice grain image, respectively. As a future study, we are planning to researches of more reliable seeds extraction from cluttered seed images by a deep learning-based approach and selection of high-throughput phenotype through precise data analysis such as length, width, and thickness from the detected seed objects.
