  • This paper suggests an advanced 8T SRAM which can operate properly in subthreshold voltage regime. The memory cell consists of symmetric 8 transistors, in which the latch storing data is controlled by a column-wise assistline. During the read, the data storage nodes are temporarily decoupled from the read path, thus eliminating the read disturbance. Additionally, the cell keeps the noise-vulnerable 'low' node close to the ground, thereby improving the dummy-read stability. In the write, the boosted wordline facilitates to change the contents of the memory bit. At 0.4 V supply, the advanced 8T cell achieves 65% higher dummy-read stability and 3.7 times better write-ability compared to the commercialized 8T cell. The proposed cell and circuit techniques have been verified in a 16-kbit SRAM array designed with an industrial 180-nm low-power CMOS process.

  • NAND flash memory is used as a medium for various storage devices due to its high data processing speed with low power consumption. However, since the read processing speed of data is about 10 times faster than the write processing speed, various studies are being conducted to improve the speed difference. In particular, flash dedicated buffer management policies have been studied to improve write speed. However, SSD(solid state disks), which has recently been used for various purposes, is more vulnerable to read performance than write performance. In this paper, we find out why read performance is slower than write performance in SSD composed of NAND flash memory and study buffer management policies to improve it. The buffer management policy proposed in this paper proposes a method of improving the speed of a flash-based storage device by analyzing the pattern of read data and applying a policy of pre-reading data to be requested in the future from NAND flash memory. It also proves the effectiveness of the read-ahead policy through simulation.

  • This study investigated how many and which articles readers read in daily newspapers. Distinguished from previous research that measured readers' perception of their reading habits, this study picked up readers who read the newspaper in the morning, showed them every article in the newspaper, and asked them whether they read each article. This method enhanced the accuracy of measuring subjects‘ reading behavior. According to the results, 6.2% of the readers read at least half of the articles of the general section in the newspaper. Fewer readers went over the economic section of the newspaper. It was 4.1% of the readers. There were only 1.1% of readers who did not read any article of the general section, but the rate soared to 26.5% for the economic section. Many newspaper readers did not skip the first five pages of the newspaper, however the highest readership pages were found in the national coverage located in the middle of the general section. On the other hand, few readers read the articles on pages covering culture, international issues, and people. Readership of the top stories showed some unexpected results. The top stories of national coverage located in the middle of the general section were read by more readers than the top stories of the front pages. This study also investigated the difference between young and old readers. The readers of twenties and thirties did not read as many top stories on major pages and editorials as the readers of forties and older.

  • The goal of this study is to examine what kind of repeated-reading habits adults have, what sort of books they read repeatedly, and what preferences they have depending on their age or gender. A questionnaire was distributed to the students at Lifelong Education Center of Chonbuk National University to survey their repeated reading experiences. The results of the statistical analysis are as follows: 1) Most adults have experienced repeated reading. 2) Women have more experience with repeated reading than men, and in terms of age, more people in their forties read the same books repeatedly. 3) Most repeated readers read their books twice: Women tend to read their books repeatedly more than men do. 4) More than half of the adults in the sample group have read their favorite books several times. 5) The importance of books in this study was judged on the basis of the number of repeated readers and the frequency of reading. The order of important books is as follows: The Little Prince, The Tale of Three Kingdoms, The Giving Tree, The Greek and Roman Mythology, Meu Pe de Larania Lima, No Possession, Hope for the Flowers, and Demian. 6) More than half of the male repeated readers read The Tale of Three Kingdoms while female repeated readers tend to read a wider variety of books. 7) Adults read the same books repeatedly to enjoy and learn something.

  • 천마(天麻, Gastrodia elata Blume)는 난초과(蘭草科, Orchidaceae)에 속하는 식물로 잎과 뿌리가 없어 탄소동화능력이 없으며, 뽕나무버섯균과 공생하는 기생식물이다. 천마는 노지재배 시 혹한, 폭우 등 기상환경에 따른 연차간 수량성 차가 673~1,175kg/10a로 크고, 연작에 따른 수량성이 연작 1회 시 29%, 연작 2회 시 68%가 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 최근 기후변화 대응으로 비가림시설재배가 이뤄지고 있으나, 비가림 시설재배 또한 연작장해가 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 비가림시설을 활용한 천마 재배의 연작장해 경감을 위해 태양열(6~10월, 비닐피복) 및 토양훈증(메탐소듐, 30 L/1,000 m2)으로 토양소독 처리를 하였고, 윤작(수단그라스)을 대조구로 설정하여 토양 화학성, 미생물상 및 수량성을 분석하였다. 토양소독 전·후 토양내 화학성을 분석한 결과, 비가림시설재배 시 토양 화학성의 변화는 거의 없었다. 토양소독 후 metagenome 분석 결과, JCR21(윤작), JCS21(태양열), JCF21(토양훈증)의 시료로부터 확보한 총 read는 598,425개였으며, 이 중에서 Eukaryota로 분류되지 않은 read는 2,397개(0.4%), no hit, not assign된 read는 17,094개 (2.9%), Bacteria로 분류된 read는 281,391개(47.0%), Eukaryota로 분류된 read는 총 297,543개(49.7%)였다. JCR21은 전체 read의 35.0%, JCS21은 34.0%, JCF21은 31.0%를 차지했고, Eukaryota는 JCR21 대비 JCS21, JCF21에서 각각 9.9%, 18.9% 낮았다. 그리고, Bacteria는 JCR21 대비 JCF21은 5.4% 감소하였으나, JCS21은 1.4% 증가하였다. 이 중 Eukaryota에서 종(species)명까지 정확하게 밝혀진 것은 27종이었고 속(genus) 으로는 18속이었다. JCF21은 전체 read의 30.2%, JCS21은 33.8%, JCR21은 36.0%를 차지했고, JCF21 포장은 토양훈증으로 JCS21에 비해 3.6%, JCR21에 비해 5.8%까지 균수가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 대체적으로 발견된 균은 고르게 분포하고 있었으나 초작지, 연작 1회지, 연작 2회지에서는 많이 발견되지 않았던 Mucoromycota (41,490 read, 13.9%), Agaricales (10,586 read, 3.6%)가 높은 비율로 분포를 하고 있었다. 토양소독 처리에 따른 10a 당 수량을 살펴본 결과, 윤작 1,309 kg, 태양열소독 1,609 kg, 토양훈증 1,733 kg으로 나타났고, 수량지수가 윤작 처리구 대비 태양열소독은 23%, 토양훈증은 32% 높았다. 성마율은 윤작 51%, 태양열소독 63%, 토양훈증 68%으로 나타났으며, 자마율은 윤작 49%, 태양열소독 37%, 토양훈증 32%으로 나타났다. 괴경썩음 정도는 윤작 30-49%, 태양열소독 10-19%, 토양훈증 5-9%로 나타났다. 따라서, 비가림시설을 활용한 천마 재배 시 토양훈증 소독 처리를 하면 연작이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to explore the various perspectives to read micro-history of Korean housing after the period of Opening the Port for foreigners. This study were designed to adapt original theory for exploring the unique housing perspectives without using strict basic assumption which were already developed in the area of sociology, history, anthropology and philosophy. Research method applied was literature review. Each perspective might give useful insight to read the micro-history of Korean housing on the way of change after the Period of Opening the Port in Korea. Adapted perspectives to housing history were critical theory perspective, microsociological perspective, everyday life perspective(phenomenology tradition, symbolic interaction tradition, Marxist tradition), discourse perspective, exchange theory perspective, conflict theory perspective, and life course perspective. Conclusively, each perspective must be adapted multi-supportively to read the housing phenomena, because housing change derived from complex causes and factors. The fruit of this study was to ensure the adaptable viewpoint to housing were useful to read the micro-history of housing change.

  • Contemporary embedded systems often use NAND flash memory instead of hard disks as their swap space of virtual memory. Since the read/write characteristics of NAND flash memory are very different from those of hard disks, an efficient page replacement algorithm is needed for this environment. Our analysis shows that temporal locality is dominant in virtual memory references but that is not the case for write references, when the read and write references are monitored separately. Based on this observation, we present a new page replacement algorithm that uses different strategies for read and write operations in predicting the re-reference likelihood of pages. For read operations, only temporal locality is used; but for write operations, both write frequency and temporal locality are used. The algorithm logically partitions the memory space into read and write areas to keep track of their reference patterns precisely, and then dynamically adjusts their size based on their reference patterns and I/O costs. Without requiring any external parameter to tune, the proposed algorithm outperforms CLOCK, CAR, and CFLRU by 20%-66%. It also supports optimized implementations for virtual memory systems.

  • In this paper, we design a 1-kb OTP (Onetime programmable) memory IP in consideration of BCD process based EM (Electro-migration) and resistance variations of eFuse. We propose a method of precharging BL to VSS before activation of RWL (Read word-line) and an optimized design of read NMOS transistor to reduce read current through a non-programmed cell. Also, we propose a sensing margin test circuit with a variable pull-up load out of consideration for resistance variations of programmed eFuse. Peak current through the non-programmed eFuse is reduced from 728 ${\mu}A$ to 61 ${\mu}A$ when a simulation is done in the read mode. Furthermore, BL (Bit-line) sensing is possible even if sensed resistance of eFuse has fallen by about 9 $k{\Omega}$ in a wafer read test through a variable pull-up load resistance of BL S/A (Sense amplifier).

  • The purpose of the study is to describe the phenomena of reading classical Korean literature in middle school classrooms. This is one of a series of fundamental works to seek a desirable direction for classical Korean literature education. The results of the study are as follows. First, it was investigated which classical Korean literature middle school students read. As a result, it was found that the students read the works given mostly in their Korean language textbooks. A modern language is used for classical Korean literature in middle school textbooks. The textbooks have the largest number of tales with four pieces, followed by novels, essays, and sijos, Korean verses. Secondly, it was investigated how middle school students read classical Korean literature. It was found that they read it in class mainly through one-way lecturing by teachers. As a result of conducting a questionnaire survey of students and teachers, it was found that the lessons in classical Korean literature did not fulfill the students' expectations. Thirdly, my own real teaching cases were arranged to be presented, in connection with the matter why students should read classical Korean literature. This matter is embodied with a teacher's short verbal explanation focusing on motivation concerning the object of study.
