A modular programming approach for simulation/control of turbocharged diesel engines is investigated. The MATLAB/SIMULINK, which provides easy construction of various control modules and handy retrieval of objects, is adopted as a programming environment. The mathematical models for diesel engines are utilized from the literature. The object-oriented modules, which represent mechanical parts or theoretical algorithms for engines, are easily transferable to other application programs in the same environment. The simulation model is applied to a 4 strokes diesel engine. Details of the block diagrams of example modules are demonstrated. Finally, a PI controller and a sliding mode controller are applied to the simulator constructed for a typical turbocharged diesel engine.

An $AB^2$ modular operation is an efficient basic operation for the public key cryptosystems and various systolic architectures for $AB^2$ modular operation have been proposed. However, these architectures have a shortcoming for cryptographic applications due to their high area complexity. Accordingly, this paper presents an partitioned $AB^2$ systolic modular multiplier over GF($2^m$). A dependency graph from the MSB $AB^2$ modular multiplication algorithm is partitioned into 1/3 to get an partitioned $AB^2$ systolic multiplier. The multiplier reduces the area complexity about 2/3 compared with the previous multiplier. The multiplier could be used as a basic building block to implement the modular exponentiation for the public key cryptosystems based on smartcard which has a restricted hardware requirements.

Modular toys for creative education require functional blocks to create various types of movements. An active drive module and a lot of passive connection blocks are needed to express motion with combination. In this paper, we propose the design of modular toys to produce various creative movements and controller structure working with them. In order to facilitate the connection between the designed modules, a connection method and a suitable mechanism are suggested. We also dealt with the design of various types of sensor modules that can work in conjunction with modular toys. Using these toys, typical standard application form that can be imitated educationally is suggested and showed the usefulness of the modular toy by actually applying it with designed modules and components. The proposed method is applied to actual educational toys, and the operation is effectively performed by recording operation and playing repetitive operation.

This paper describes external and internal stability of reinforced earth wall using large-scale modular block and geogrid reinforcement. The evaluation for external and internal stability was conducted to analyze effect of wall height, reinforced soil (or backfill soils) and reinforcement strength. The external stability showed that the analysis cases were satisfied with design criteria, when the required minimum length and vertical spacing of reinforcement were 0.7H and 1m, respectively. The internal stability conformed that some cases were satisfied with design criteria in $25^{\circ}$ of internal friction angle of reinforced soil. Expecially, it will be applicable as wall structure considering a structural stability and economic efficiency based on evaluation of internal stability.

Design of manufacturing system is a very complicated and tricky process. Since no efficient method has been known, yet it has been mainly done based on experience and heuristics. Even mostly used simulation approaches can only evaluate the performance of an already configured system, but cannot provide a help to configure or reconfigure a manufacturing system. An efficient way to (re-)configure manufacturing systems might be to use building blocks of a manufacturing system in the similar manner the recent products are configured based on modular principle. In this paper, the concept of a building block and its representation method are described. An example of assembly system configuration is also given.

본 논문에서는 모듈형 NVIDIA Jetson TX2 임베디드 제품에서 채굴을 통해 블록체인의 적합성 여부를 보인다. 범용성과 적합성의 평가기준은 TPS (Transactions Per Second), 블록생성시간(Block Generation Time)과 확정시간(Confirmation Time)이다. 채굴 준비 시 TX2 임베디드 제품의 특성상 하드웨어 드라이버를 자립적으로 설치 할 수 없기 때문에 HOST PC와 함께 사용하였다. HOST PC는 TX2 제품과 호환성이 높은 OS인 Ubuntu 14.04를 사용했으며, 하드웨어 드라이버 설치를 위해 NVIDIA 공식 TX2 제품 소프트웨어 중 JetPack 3.1 Release Version 을 사용하였다. 코인은 이더리움(Ethereum), 라이트코인(Litecoin)과 제트캐쉬(Zcash) 총 3종 코인으로, 채굴 시 나온 결과물로 TX2 제품에서 블록체인의 적합성 여부를 보였다.

White-box cryptography is an implementation technique in order to protect secret keys of cryptographic algorithms in the white-box attack model, which is the setting that an adversary has full access to the implementation of the cryptographic algorithm and full control over their execution. This concept was introduced in 2002 by Chow et al., and since then, there have been many proposals for secure implementations. While there have been many approaches to construct a secure white-box implementation for the ciphers with SPN structures, there was no notable result about the white-box implementation for the block ciphers with Feistel structure after white-box DES implementation was broken. In this paper, we propose a secure white-box implementation for a block cipher SEED with Feistel structure, which can prevent the previous known attacks for white-box implementations. Our proposal is simple and practical: it is performed by only 3,376 table lookups during each execution and the total size of tables is 762.5 KB.

Kim and Fenn et al. proposed two modular AB multipliers based on LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register) architecture. These multipliers use AOP, which has all coefficients with '1', as an irreducible polynomial. Thereby, they have good hardware complexity compared to the previous architectures. This paper proposes a modular $AB^2$ multiplier based on LFSR architecture and a modular exponentiation architecture to improve the hardware complexity of the Kim's. Our multiplier also use the AOP as an irreducible polynomial as the Kim architecture. Simulation result shows that our multiplier reduces the hardware complexity about $50\%$ in the perspective of XOR and AND gates compared to the Kim's. The architecture could be used as a basic block to implement public-key cryptosystems.

Effective management of slightly used nuclear fuel (SUNF) is crucial for both technical and public acceptance reasons. SUNF management, radiotoxicity risk, and associated financial investment and technological capabilities are major concerns in nuclear power production. Reducing the volume of SUNF can simplify its management, and one possible solution is utilizing small modular reactors (SMR) and advanced fuel designs like those with thorium. This research focuses on studying the neutronic performance and radionuclide inventory of three different thorium fuel configurations. The mass of fissile material in thorium-based fuel significantly impacts Kinf, burn-up, and neutron energy spectrum. Compared to uranium, thorium as a fuel produces far fewer transuranic elements and less long-lived fission products (LLFPs) at the end of the core cycle (EOC). However, certain fission product elements produced from thorium-based fuel exhibit higher radioactivity at the beginning of the core cycle (BOC). Physical separation of thorium and uranium in the fuel block, like seed-and-blanket units (SBU) and duplex fuel designs, generate less radioactive waste with lower radioactivity and longer cycle lengths than homogeneous or mixed thorium-uranium fuel. Furthermore, the SBU and duplex feel designs exhibit comparable neutron spectra, leading to negligible differences in SUNF production between the two.

Blockchain technology has emerged as one of the key technologies of the fourth industrial revolution. Blockchain technology is characterized by being able to verify the authenticity of stored information in a block and whether it is false or falsified, cannot arbitrarily manipulate or delete a particular record, and is capable of transparent audit trail. This study is designed to explore how to apply blockchain technology to record management. For this purpose, we want to approach the code area, the physical area of the blockchain technology, to explore some of the key physical structures, and to derive the applicability of the blockchain technology. By implementing the part of 'Cloud-Record Management System', future record management system model and currently in the process of phasing out step by step, as a modular block chain, I suggest a blockchain network model that can simplify or replace various functions of the current record management process.
