Chicken not only serves as a high-protein source to humans, but it is also used as a suitable biomodel for increasing livestock productivity and studying human diseases. Chickens have numerous advantages as model organisms mainly because of they are relatively convenient to manage due to their small body size and short generational interval. In addition, they have a small genome size and numerous genes have biologically similar functions to those of human and livestock animals. In this review, we investigated the chicken biomodel for human disease research and the use of this model for increasing livestock productivity. This summary could provide useful and basic information for further development of strategies for enhancing livestock production and human disease studies.

Wearable devices have become widespread. Fitness band is one of common wearable devices, providing useful functions. It helps users to monitor and collect their status such as heart rate and travel distance. Wearable devices, including fitness bands, are designed in small size and it ends up having small battery capacity. In that regard, it is necessary to expand the lifetime of wearable devices. Conventional power management scheme of wearable devices is based on DVFS Ondemand Governor and peripheral control by timeout event, such as turning off the LCD. In this paper, we propose a hybrid governor applying hardware supporting low power mode such as sleep mode to exploit the periodicity of fitness band task. In addition, we show hybrid governor outperforms in power consumption than conventional power management scheme of wearable devices based on Ondemand Governor through experiments.

This paper addresses the small-signal analysis of the multi-phase interleaved boost converter with the coupled inductors operated in the continuous inductor current mode. The generalized and analytical expressions for the transfer functions of interest are derived for various inductor couplings. The dynamic characteristics are analyzed according to the inductor couplings and verified experimentally. The proposed frequency models will be very useful to design the dynamic controllers of the multi-phase interleaved boost converters.

Most commercial PDM (product data management) systems, which have been released recently by overseas famous software vendors, are still expensive and heavy to apply to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Proposed in this paper are an architecture and functions of collaborative BOM (bill-of-material) management system (cBOM-MS) which supports the internal BOM management by BOM Navigator, provides SMEs with constructing the collaborative BOM via Collaborative BOM Portal, and proposes an interface to extract BOM automatically from commercial CAD systems. In the design of cBOM-MS, BOM Navigator and cBOM Portal are positioned separately to reinforce the information security about product data during product development process.

An innovative safety concept for a light water reactor has been developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. It is a unique concept that adopts both a fast heat transfer mechanism for a small containment and a changing mechanism of the cooling geometry to take advantage of the potential, thermal, and dynamic energies of the cold water in the containment. It can bring about rapid cooling of the containment and long-term cooling of the decay heat. By virtue of this innovative concept, nuclear fuel damage events can be prevented. The ultimate heat transfer mechanism contributes to minimization of the heat exchanger size and containment volume. A small containment can ensure the underground construction, which can use river or seawater as an ultimate heat sink. The changing mechanism of the cooling geometry simplifies several safety systems and unifies diverse functions. Simplicity of the present safety system does not require any operator actions during events or accidents. Therefore, the unique safety concept of PX can realize both economic competitiveness and inherent safety.

In this paper, when a robust active noise controller for a small cavity to control the noise induced in the cavity is designed, the Graphical method based on the robust stability and performance requirements is studied. The problem of designing controller that achieve these robust performance conditions is related to minimizing the $H_{\infty}$ norm of the mixed sensitivity function by using $H_{\infty}$ control theory. Also, For design the controller, the loopshaping method which control the weight functions to satisfy the design specification without loss of a robust performance can be used. Therefore, we determined the acceptable design specification with the system characteristics of the small cavity and obtained its robust controller with the robust performance specifications by stability margin.

This paper discusses the mathematical modeling of a small scale ducted-fan UAV and examines its results in comparison to the wind tunnel test. A wind tunnel test is first performed, producing a substantial amount of test data. The acquired set of wind tunnel test data is then categorized and approximated as mathematical functions. Finally, the mathematically modeled forces and moments acting on the UAV are compared with the acquired wind tunnel data. The analysis involves a gradient-based algorithm and is applied to extract trim states with respect to various flight conditions. Consequently, a numerical analysis demonstrates that there exists a reasonable flight status with respect to airspeed.

Magnetic bearings have been widely used to support rotors without any physical contact. This however, requires the control of five degrees-of-freedom and needs a separate driving motor. This paper introduces selfbearing motors which use the combination of a rotary motor and a magnetic bearing. These motors are suitable for use in high speed rotor or in special circumstances because they are small in size and can replace the contact components. The radial type one has the merit of being small in size and capable of controlling two degrees-of-freedom in x and y directions. The axial type motor controls only one degree-of-freedom in z direction. Theoretical background of the functions, of the motor and magnetic bearing will also be introduced. New research works are reviewed and the application in rotary blood pump is discussed.

Let f be a meromorphic function of finite order ρ with few poles in the sense S_λ(r, f) := O(r^λ+ε) + S(r, f), where λ < ρ and ε ∈ (0, ρ - λ), and let g(f) := Σ^k_j=1b_j(z)f^(k_j)(z + c_j) be a linear delay-differential polynomial of f with small meromorphic coefficients b_j in the sense S_λ(r, f). The zero distribution of fⁿ(g(f))^s - b₀ is considered in this paper, where b₀ is a small function in the sense S_λ(r, f).

Redshift space distortion (RSD) is known as a powerful cosmological probe. The large-scale RSD has been detected by various redshift surveys and continues to be a major target of ongoing surveys. On the other hand, the small-scale RSD, called finger-of-god (FoG) effect, also has cosmological information, because different cosmological parameters cause different halo mass functions and viriarized velocities. We define the "length" of FoG and examine its dependence on cosmological parameters using the Multiverse simulation. We also use the SDSS DR7 data to see how strong constraints current data sets could provide. It is found that the volume-limited subsample D5, consisting of ~100,000 galaxies at z~0.08, yields $\Delta \Omega_m ~ 0.02$.
