기존의 공정 스케줄링 방법들 중 GPS(generalized processor sharing)는 순간적 관점에서의 공정성을 추구하는 반면에, virtual clock은 장기적 관점에서의 공정성을 추구하는 특성을 지닌다. 이 논문에서는 이들의 차이가 과거의 서비스 정보를 추후의 스케줄링에 반영하는 정도에 있음에 주목하고, GPS와 virtual clock을 포괄하는 스펙트럼 형태의 스케줄링 모델을 제시한다. 이 모델에서 각 응용의 자원 획득 권한은 예치권한이라는 값으로 표현되는데, 예치권한은 각 응용별로 미리 정해진 고유한 비율로 계속 증가하며, 서비스를 받으면 소비된다. 소비되지 않고 누적된 예치권한은 과거에 서비스가 이루어지지 않은 정도를 표현하는 값이라고 볼 수 있으며, 이는 응용의 스케줄링 가능성을 높이므로 이후의 서비스 지연시간을 상대적으로 단축하는 효과를 낸다. 예치권한을 주기적으로 감쇄시키면 과거 정보의 반영 정도를 줄일 수 있으며, 이 때 그 감쇄 정도는 과거행태를 반영하는 정도를 의미한다. 과거의 정보를 전혀 반영하지 않을 경우 GPS의 특성을 나타내게 되며, 모두 반영할 경우 virtual clock의 특성을 보이게 된다. 이러한 스펙트럼 상에서는 평균지연시간과 장기적 공정성 사이에 절충 관계가 존재한다. 이 논문에서는 제시된 모델의 특성을 분석하고 실험을 통해 검증한다.

We extended the measurable time scale of DNA dynamics to submicrosecond using a long-lifetime metal-ligand complex, $[Ru(phen)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$ (phen=1,10-phenanthroline, dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) (RuPD), which displays a mean lifetime near 350 ns. We partially characterized the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in calf thymus DNA from RuPD to nile blue (NB) using frequency-domain fluorometry with a high-intensity, blue light-emitting diode (LED) as the modulated light source. There was a significant overlap of the emission spectrum of the donor RuPD with the absorption spectrum of the acceptor NB. The F$\ddot{o}$rster distance ($R_0$) that was calculated from the spectral overlap was $33.4\;{\AA}$. We observed dramatic decreases in the steady-state fluorescence intensities of RuPD when the NB concentration was increased. The intensity decays of RuPD were matched the closest by a triple exponential decay. The mean decay time of RuPD in the absence of the acceptor NB was 350.7 ns. In a concentration-dependent manner, RuPD showed rapid intensity decay times upon adding NB. The mean decay time decreased to 184.6 ns at $100\;{\mu}M$ NB. The FRET efficiency values that are calculated from the mean decay times increased from 0.107 at $20\;{\mu}M$ NB to 0.474 at $100\;{\mu}M$ NB concentration. The use of FRET with a long-lifetime metal-ligand complex donor is expected to offer the opportunity to increase the information about the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids.

경매는 자원을 가장 필요로 하는 이용자에게 합리적으로 배분하도록 고안된 제도이며, 여러 국가에서는 최근 주파수 자원의 배분에 도입하고 있다. 본 고에서는 주파수 경매가 가장 활발한 미국의 경우에 대해 설명한다. 미국의 경우, 여러 주파수 면허를 동시에 다중 라운드로 경매함으로써 경쟁자가 이전 라운드에 입찰한 가격에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있게 하는 제도인 '동시 다중 라운드 경매'를 특징으로 한다. 이 제도하의 입찰 참여자는 이전 라운드의 정보를 기초로 유연하게 전략수정이 가능하며, 여러 주파수 면허들 간에 치적의 시너지 가치를 입찰자 각자가 결정할 수 있다. 이러한 제도적 특징으로 입찰이 활성화될 수 있었고 담합은 최소한으로 억제될 수 있었다. 이러한 동시 다중 라운드 방식은 미국의 성공을 기반으로 유럽의 3G 주파수 경매에서도 보편적으로 사용되어 가장 일반화된 주파수 경매 방식으로 받아들여지고 있다.

Since the seminal work of Perrin, physicists have understood in the context of kinetic theory how ink slowly diffuses in a glass of water. The fluctuations of the stochastic forces acting on water molecules drive the diffusion of the ink in the fluid. This is the archetype of a process described by the so-called fluctuation-dissipation theorem, which universally relates the rate of diffusion to the power spectrum of the fluctuating forces. For stars in galaxies, a similar process occurs but with two significant differences, due to the long-range nature of the gravitational interaction: (i) for the diffusion to be effective, stars need to resonate, i.e. present commensurable frequencies, otherwise they only follow the orbit imposed by their mean field; (ii) the amplitudes of the induced fluctuating forces are significantly boosted by collective effects, i.e. by the fact that, because of self-gravity, each star generates a wake in its neighbours. In the expanding universe, an overdense perturbation passing a critical threshold will collapse onto itself and, through violent relaxation and mergers, rapidly converge towards a stationary, phase-mixed and highly symmetric state, with a partially frozen orbital structure. The object is then locked in a quasi-stationary state imposed by its mean gravitational field. Of particular interests are strongly responsive colder systems which, given time and kicks, find the opportunity to significantly reshuffle their orbital structure towards more likely configurations. This presentation aims to explain this long-term reshuffling called gravity-driven secular evolution on cosmic timescales, described by extended kinetic theory. I will illustrate this with radial migration, disc thickening and the stellar cluster in the galactic centre.

Dioxins, especially 2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin), are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. TCDD is known that it has toxic effects in animals and humans, including chloracne, immune, reproductive and developmental toxicities, carcinogenicity, wasting syndrome and death. TCDD induces a broad spectrum of biological responses, including disruption of normal hormone signaling pathways, reproductive and developmental defects, immunotoxicity, liver damage, wasting syndrome and cancer. Many researches showed that TCDD induces gene expression of transcriptional factors related cell proliferation, signal transduction, immune system and cell cycle arrest at molecular and cellular levels. These toxic actions of TCDD are usually mediated with AhR (receptor, resulted from cell culture, animal and clinical studies). cDNA microarray can be used as a highly sensitive and informative marker for toxicity. Additionally, microarray analysis of dioxin-toxicity is able to provide an opportunity for the development of candidate bridging biomarkers of dioxin-toxicity. Through microarray technology, it is possible to understand the therapeutic effects of agonists within the context of toxic effects, classify new chemicals as to their complete effects on biological systems, and identify environmental factors that may influence safety.

Cassiopeia A supernova remnant is a young (~330 yr) remnant of Type IIb SN explosion with a massive progenitor. It shows two distinct optical knots; fast moving ejecta knots (FMKs) and quasi stationary circumstellar knots (QSFs). These knots offer an unique opportunity to explore the details of the explosion and also the end state evolution of the Type IIb SN progenitor. We have obtained NIR long-slit (30") spectra of 7 positions around the bright rim of Cas A in [Fe II] 1.644 micron using Triplespec which is a cross-dispersed near-infrared spectrograph that provides continuous wavelength coverage from 0.95-2.46um at intermediate resolution of 2700. Most of the FMKs show strong sulfur, silicon, and iron forbidden lines but no hydrogen or helium lines. The QSFs, on the other hand, show a much richer spectrum with strong hydrogen, helium, and iron lines, but no sulfur and silicon lines. We measure their fluxes and radial velocities, and derive their physical parameters such as electron density and temperature. We also measure the proper motion of these knots from two [Fe II] 1.644 micron images obtained at 3-year interval. We analyze the physical properties of these knots and discuss the evolution and explosion of the progenitor of Cas A.

일반적으로 근대 디자인의 역사는 19세기 중반 영국에서 시작된 것으로 이해되고 있다. 이 시기의 유럽은 프랑스 혁명과 한업혁명을 거치면서 성장한 부르주와 계층이 역사의 전면에 부상하며 과거 봉건적 전퉁사회와는 전혀 다른 근대사회를 성립해가고 있었다 새롭게 사회의 주역으로 부상한 부르주아 계층은 그들만의 고유한 새로운 미학을 확립하고자 했고 이러한 과정에서 근대 디자인이 탄생하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 지난 150여 년간의 디자인의 역사를 근대 프로젝트로서의 디자인 혹은 모던 디자인 프로젝트라는 관점에서 파악하고자 한다. 초기 근대 디자인 이념의 형성과정에서부터 최근의 탈근대 논의에 이르기까지의 디자인 역사를 모던 디자인 프로젝트의 형성과 변질, 그리고 이에 대한 비판과 재평가라는 맥락에서 이해하고자 하는 것은 이ㅓ한 논의가 현재 진행중인 탈근대로의 급격한 전환과정을 이해하고 미래에 대한 전망을 갖게 하는데 도움이 되기 때문이다.

As part of the $AP1000^{TM}$ pressurized water reactor design certification program, a series of integral systems tests of the nuclear steam supply system was performed at the APEX-1000 test facility at Oregon State University. These tests provided data necessary to validate Westinghouse safety analysis computer codes for AP1000 applications. In addition, the tests provided the opportunity to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena expected to be important in AP1000 small-break loss of coolant accidents (SBLOCAs). The APEX-1000 facility is a 1/4-scale pressure and 1/4-scale height simulation of the AP1000 nuclear steam supply system and passive safety features. A series of eleven tests was performed in the APEX-1000 facility as part of a U.S. Department of Energy contract. In all, four SBLOCA tests representing a spectrum of break sizes and locations were simulated along with tests to study specific phenomena of interest. The focus of this paper is the SBLOCA tests. The key thermal-hydraulic phenomena simulated in the APEX-1000 tests, and the performance and interactions of the passive safety-related systems that can be investigated through the APEX-1000 facility, are emphasized. The APEX-1000 tests demonstrate that the AP1000 passive safety-related systems successfully combine to provide a continuous removal of core decay heat and the reactor core remains covered with considerable margin for all small-break LOCA events.
