The clinical condition Amnesia causes difficulty in learning new information and the inability to recall past events. It is primarily concerned with recent memory loss. Majoon-e-Nisyan (MJN) is a polyherbal Unani formulation, present in a semi-solid form. It is widely used potent drug of the Unani System of Medicine (USM) for treating Nisyan (amnesia). In the present study polyherbal Unani formulation, MJN has been studied for its quality control and acute toxicity. Standardization (quality control) of drugs deals with drug identity, drug quality and purity determination. Standardization of MJN had been done as per the Unani pharmacopoeial parameters approved by World Health Organization (WHO) - Pharmacognostical parameters, Physico-chemical parameters, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), microbial load, aflatoxin, and heavy metals. Solvents and chemicals used in the study were of analytical grade and used instrument were calibrated. By conducting an acute oral toxicity study in rats, the safety of MJN was assessed. The limit test method of OECD guideline 425 was followed in the study. Results of standardization and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for preparation of MJN may serve as the standard reference in the future. The data generated in the study for the quality control of MJN proved the quality of formulation and shows that MJN is not toxic in rats following acute dosing up to 2000 mg/kg bw. The data obtained in the paper for MJN may be used as a standard guideline for preparation of the formulation which can save time, cost, and resources for future research endeavours.

Zero-copy is a technology that is also called no-memory copy, and through its use, context switching between the user space and the kernel space can be reduced to minimize the load on the CPU. However, this technology is only used to transmit small random files, and has not yet been widely used for large file transfers. This paper intends to discuss the practical application of zero-copy in processing large files via a network. To this end, we first developed a small test bed and program that can transmit and store data based on zero-copy. Afterwards, we intend to verify the usefulness of the applied technology in detail through detailed performance evaluation

Recently, as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI) is widely used not only in office work environments but also in workloads that use high-spec multi-core-based applications, the requirements for real-time and stability of VDI are increasing. Accordingly, the display protocol used for remote access in VDI and performance optimization of virtual machines have also become more important. In this paper, we propose two ways to configure desktop virtualization for multi-core-based application operation. First, we propose a codec configuration of a display protocol with optimal performance in a high load situation due to multi-processing. Second, we propose a virtual CPU scheduling optimization method to reduce scheduling delay in case of CPU contention between virtual machines. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the H.264 codec of Blast Extreme showed the best and stable frame, and the scheduling performance of the virtual CPU was improved through scheduling optimization.

The submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is tethered by mooring lines anchored to the seabed, therefore, the structural integrity of the anchor should be sensitively managed. Despite their importance, reaction forces cannot be simply measured by attaching sensors or load cells because of the structural and environmental characteristics of the submerged structure. Therefore, we propose an effective method for estimating the reaction forces at the seabed anchor of a submerged floating tunnel using a structural pattern model. First, a structural pattern model is established to use the correlation between tunnel motion and anchor reactions via a deep learning algorithm. Once the pattern model is established, it is directly used to estimate the reaction forces by inputting the tunnel motion data, which can be directly measured inside the tunnel. Because the sequential characteristics of responses in the time domain should be considered, the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm is mainly used to recognize structural behavioral patterns. Using hydrodynamics-based simulations, big data on the structural behavior of the SFT under various waves were generated, and the prepared datasets were used to validate the proposed method. The simulation-based validation results clearly show that the proposed method can precisely estimate time-series reactions using only acceleration data. In addition to real-time structural health monitoring, the proposed method can be useful for forensics when an unexpected accident or failure is related to the seabed anchors of the SFT.

밭작물 중 양파와 마늘은 높은 노동투하시간, 노임의 상승, 복잡한 수거 과정 등으로 최근 재배면적이 감소하는 추세이다. 밭농업 활성화 방안으로 생산비 절감과 작업 속도 향상을 위한 수확기계 개발 연구로 줄기절단기가 개발되었다. 이 연구는 줄기절단기 예취날의 설치각이 절단부하에 미치는 영향을 분립체 해석 기법으로 분석하고자 하였다. 실험에 사용한 시뮬레이션은 EDEM으로 인장탄성계수, 전단탄성 계수, 중첩길이, 입자 반경 및 질량, 상대속도를 이용하여 충돌시 힘을 해석하고 인장 및 전단강도, 한계, 결합 길이를 통해 입자간 결합을 설정할 수 있다. 시제품으로 설계된 줄기절단기의 치수를 활용하여 프로그램 상에서 줄기 절단 시뮬레이션을 진행하여 절단부하 결과를 얻도록 하였고 칼날 설치각을 30도, 45도, 60도로 변경하여 각각의 부하를 분석하여 경향성을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험에서 사용한 프로그램은 EDEM 2.7.1 Academic Research 버전이며 시뮬레이션을 진행한 PC의 사양은 Intel(R) $Core^{TM}$ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, Memory 16.0GB이다. 줄기 절단 시뮬레이션에 적용시킨 줄기 모델은 마늘의 조건을 적용시켜 직경 1mm의 입자로 이루어진 지름 12mm, 높이 214mm의 원통형 모델이며 60.32N의 최대절단력을 가지고 있다. 줄기절단기는 2개의 회전날을 가지고 있으나 좌우대칭을 적용하여 절반에 대한 해석으로 하나의 회전날로 절단을 하도록 줄기 모델은 4조로 하여 3열을 140mm 간격으로 위치시켰다. 줄기절단기의 칼날은 반경 350mm로 회전하며 진행속도는 1.65m/s, 회전속도는 1680rpm으로 작업하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션은 0.5초의 시간에 대해 해석하도록 하였으며 0.003초 간격으로 칼날에 가해지는 힘을 구하여 저장하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 해석시간은 약 116시간이었으며 설치각별 시간에 따른 칼날에 가해지는 압축력 값과 그래프를 얻을 수 있었다. 대부분의 시간에서 절단이 이루어지지 않으므로 0의 값을 나타내었으며 절단이 이루어지는 시점에 절단부하가 나타났다. 결과 해석을 위해 그래프의 피크 값들을 이용하였으며 그 중 상위 6개의 값으로 분석하였다. 30도, 45도, 60도의 설치각에 따른 절단부하의 평균 값은 각각 105.4N, 160.5N, 215.9N으로 나타났다. 설치각에 따른 절단부하의 경향성은 유의수준은 3.93%로 각각의 차이가 유의미하게 나타났으며 상관계수는 0.489로 증가하는 경향이 보였다. 그러나 $R^2$는 0.2394로 낮은 값을 보여 데이터 처리 방법의 개선과 적절한 회귀 모델의 적용이 필요하다. 향후 포장시험을 진행하고 복합적으로 분석하여 경향성을 자세히 분석하고자 한다.

This paper describes the real-time system which, through analyzing a sequence of images, can extract motional information on a moving object and can contol servo equipment to always locate the moving object at the center of an image frame. An image is a vast amount of two-dimensional signal, so it takes a lot of time to analyze the whole quantity of a given image. Especially, the time needed to load pixels from a memory to processor increase exponentially as the size of an image increases. To solve such a problem and track a moving object in real-time, this paper addresses how to selectively search the spatial and time domain. Based on the selective search of spatial and time domain, this paper suggests various types of techniques which are essential in implementing a real-time tracking system. That is, this paper describes how to detect an entrance of a moving object in the field of view of a camera and the direction of the entrance, how to determine the time interval of adjacent images, how to determine nonstationary areas formed by a moving object and calculated velocity and position information of a moving object based on the determined areas, how to control servo equipment to locate the moving object at the center of an image frame, and how to properly adjust time interval(${\Delta}$t) to track an object taking variable speed.

An image segmentation approach based on the fuzzy worm searching and MIN-MAX clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm deals with fuzzy worm value and min-max node at a gross scene level, which investigates the edge information including fuzzy worm action and spatial relationship of the pixels as the parameters of its objective function. But the conventional segmentation methods for edge extraction generally need the mask information for the algebraic model, and take long run times at mask operation, whereas the proposed algorithm has single operation according to active searching of fuzzy worms. In addition, we also propose both genetic fuzzy worm searching and genetic min-max clustering using genetic algorithm to complete clustering and fuzzy searching on grey-histogram of image for the optimum solution, which can automatically determine the size of ranges and has both strong robust and speedy calculation. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm adaptively divided the quantized images in histogram region and performed single searching methods, significantly alleviating the increase of the computational load and the memory requirements.

A PLT(10) thin film has been deposited on $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method, and its switching characteristics have been investigated with various top electrode areas, input pulse voltages and loan resistances. As the external input pulse voltage increases from 2V to 5V, the switching time decreases from $0.49{\mu}s$ to $0.12{\mu}s$. The activation energy ($E_a$) obtained from the relations between the switching time and the applied pulse voltage is evaluated as 209kV/cm. The switched charge densities at 5V obtained from the hysteresis loop and the polarization switching are $11.69{\mu}C/cm^2$ and $13.02{\mu}C/cm^2$, respectively, which agree relatively well with each other and show the difference of 10%. When the top electrode area increases from TEX>$3.14{\times}10^{-4}cm^2$ to $5.03{\times}10^{-3}cm^2$ and the load resistance increases from 50${\Omega}$ to 3.3$k{\Omega}$, the switching time increases from $0.12{\mu}s$ to $1.88{\mu}s$ and from $0.12{\mu}s$ to $9.7{\mu}s$, respectively. These switching characteristics indicate that PLT(10) thin film can be well applied in nonvolatile memory devices.

The speed of present-day network technology exceeds a gigabit and is developing rapidly. When using TCP/IP in these high-speed networks, a high load is incurred in processing TCP/IP protocol in a host CPU. To solve this problem, research has been carried out into TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE). The TOE processes TCP/IP on a network adapter instead of using a host CPU; this reduces the processing burden on the host CPU. In this paper, we developed two software-based TOEs. One is the TOE implementation using an embedded Linux. The other is the TOE implementation using Lightweight TCP/IP (lwIP). The TOE using an embedded Linux did not have the bandwidth more than 62Mbps. To overcome the poor performance of the TOE using an embedded Linux, we ported the lwIP to the embedded system and enhanced the lwIP for the high performance. We eliminated the memory copy overhead of the lwIP. We added a delayed ACK and a TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) features to the lwIP and modified the default parameters of the lwIP for large data transfer. With the aid of these modifications, the TOE using the modified lwIP shows a bandwidth of 194 Mbps.

Recently, with the rapid development of mobile computing, wireless positioning technologies, and the generalization of wireless internet, LBS (Location Based Service) which utilizes location information of moving objects is serving in many fields. In order to serve LBS efficiently, the location data server that periodically stores location data of moving objects is required. Formerly, GIS servers have been used to store location data of moving objects. However, GIS servers are not suitable to store location data of moving objects because it was designed to store static data. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented an extended SLDS(Short-term Location Data Subsystem) for real-time Location Based Services. The extended SLDS is extended from the SLDS which is a subsystem of the GALIS(Gracefully Aging Location Information System) architecture that was proposed as a cluster-based distributed computing system architecture for managing location data of moving objects. The extended SLDS guarantees real-time service capabilities using the TMO(Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) programming scheme and efficiently manages large volume of location data through distributing moving object data over multiple nodes. The extended SLDS also has a little search and update overhead because of managing location data in main memory. In addition, we proved that the extended SLDS stores location data and performs load distribution more efficiently than the original SLDS through the performance evaluation.
