The scope of the matrix application is so broad that it can not be limited. A typical matrix application area in computer science is image processing. Particularly, radar scanning equipment implemented on a small embedded system requires real-time matrix transposition for image processing, and since its memory size is small, a general matrix transposition algorithm can not be applied. In this case, matrix transposition must be done in disk space, such as flash disk, using a limited memory buffer. In this paper, we analyze and improve a recently published flash disk-based matrix transposition algorithm named as asymmetric sub-matrix transposition algorithm. The performance analysis shows that the asymmetric sub-matrix transposition algorithm has lower performance than the conventional sub-matrix transposition algorithm, but the improved asymmetric sub-matrix transposition algorithm is superior to the sub-matrix transposition algorithm in 13 of the 16 experimental data.

할라이드 페로브스카이트 물질은 우수한 광전특성으로 인해 차세대 디스플레이에 응용시킬 물질로서 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 SiO₂ 나노입자의 기공 내부에서 제한시킨 결정 성장을 통하여 할라이드 페로브스카이트의 안정성 문제를 해결한, CsPbBr₃의 새로운 소결법을 제안한다. 최적의 소결 조건에서 소결된 CsPbBr₃-SiO₂ 나노입자는 515 nm의 발광 피크를 나타낸다. CsPbBr₃-SiO₂ 나노입자는 소결 과정 중 닫힌 기공에 말미암아 몇 종의 극성 용매 속에서도 안정적으로 발광 특성을 유지할 수 있었으며, 이는 디스플레이용 색변환 필름으로서의 응용 가능성을 보여준다.

$[(Co_{1-x}Cu_x)_{0.2}(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{0.8}]_3O_4$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$) thin films prepared by metal organic decomposition process were fabricated on SiN/Si substrate for infrared sensor application. Their structural and electrical properties were investigated with variation of Cu dopant. The $[(Co_{1-x}Cu_x)_{0.2}(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{0.8}]_3O_4$ (CCNMO) film annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited a dense microstructure and a homogeneous crystal structure with a cubic spinel phase. Their crystallinity was further enhanced with increasing doped Cu amount. The 120 nm-thick CCNMO (x=0.6) thin film had a low resistivity of $53{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature while the Co-free film (x=1) showed a significantly decreased resistivity of $5.9{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Furthermore, the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristics were lower than $-2%/^{\circ}C$ for all the specimens with $x{\geq}0.6$. These results imply that the CCNMO ($x{\geq}0.6$) thin films are a good candidate material for infrared sensor application.

This study reports the improvement of mechanical properties of Al₂O₃ porous ceramics from colloidal suspension with the addition of carbon fiber by direct foaming. The initial colloidal suspension of Al₂O₃ was partially hydrophobized by surfactant to stabilize wet foam with the addition of carbon fiber from 2 to 8 wt% as stabilizer. The influence of carbon fiber on the air content, bubble size, pore size and pore distribution in terms of wet foam stability and physical properties of porous ceramics were discussed. The viscosity of the colloidal suspension was increased giving solid like properties with the increased in carbon fiber content. The mechanical properties of the sintered porous samples were investigated by Hertzian indentation test. The results show the wet foam stability of more than 90% corresponds to compressive loading of 156.48 N and elastic modulus of 57.44 MPa of sintered sample with 8 wt% of carbon fiber content.

Rice straw management and winter crop cultivation are crucial components for the accurate estimation of paddy methane emissions. Field-based extensive investigation of paddy organic matter management requires enormous efforts however it becomes more feasible as drone technology advances. The objectives of this study were to identify paddy fields of straw application and winter crop cultivation using drone images and to apply for the estimation of yearly methane emission. Total 35 sites of over 150ha in area were selected nationwide as the study areas. Drone images of the study sites were taken twice during summer and winter in 2018 through 2019: Summer images were used to identify paddy cultivation areas, while winter images for straw and winter crop practices. Drone-image-based identification results were used to estimate paddy methane emission and compared with conventional method. As the result, mean areas for paddy, straw application and winter crop cultivation were 118.9ha, 12.0ha, and 11.3ha, respectively. Overall rice straw application rate were greater in Gyeonggi-do(20%) and Chungcheongnam-do(12%), while winter crop cultivation was greatest in Gyeongsangnam-do(30%) and Jeolla-do(27%). Yearly mean methane emission was estimated to be 226.2kg CH₄/ha/yr in this study and about 32% less when compared to 331.8kg CH₄/ha/yr estimated with the conventional method. This was primarily because of the lower rice straw application rate observed in this study, which was less than quarter the rate of 55.62% used for the conventional method. This indicates the necessity to use more accurate statistics of rice straw application as well as winter crop practices into paddy methane emission estimation. Thus it is recommended to further study to link drone technology with satellite image analysis in order to identify organic management practices at a paddy field level over extensive agricultural area.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its receptors have been implicated in atopic dermatitis. S1P₂ was found to function as a proallergic receptor, while its antagonist JTE-013 was found to suppress allergic asthma in mice. Topical application of JTE-013 has not been investigated in an in vivo model of atopic dermatitis. Therefore, the therapeutic potential of JTE-013 topical application was evaluated by the use of a 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model. DNCB-induced inflammation and mast cell accumulation in skin tissues were significantly suppressed by topical JTE-013 treatment in BALB/c mice. DNCB-induced increase of lymph nodes sizes and elevated inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, IL-17, and IFN-γ) in lymph nodes were also significantly reduced by the JTE-013 treatment. Elevated serum levels of IgE were significantly suppressed by the topical treatment of JTE-013. In summary, the topical treatment of JTE-013 S1P₂ antagonist suppressed DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis symptoms and immune responses. These results suggested JTE-013 as a potential therapeutic agent for atopic dermatitis.

The objective of this study was to determine phosphorus effects on drought stress-induced oxidative stress in Kentucky bluegrass. Drought stress was induced by reducing of water to plants in pots. Two types of phosphorus were applied as potassium phosphate (P) or potassium phosphonate (PA). Application of phosphorus was efficient to ameliorate the adverse effects of drought. Osmotic potential, total chlorophyll and carotenoid content were significantly decreased by drought stress, but was relieved by P or PA application. Superoxide (O₂^•-) concentration was significantly increased more than 14-fold under drought-stressed plants, was accompanied with increase of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and lipid peroxidation (MDA). However, malondialdehyde (MDA) was much less in P or PA applied plants under drought stress condition. Activities of catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol-peroxidase (GPX) were largely increased by drought stress and its increase rate was much higher in P or PA applied plants except APX. These results indicate that drought stress-induced oxidative stress is alleviated by P or PA application due to the increase of activities of antioxidant enzymes.

Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) play an important role in water purification, and their application is beneficial for sustainable aquaculture. However, maintaining the microbial stability of PSB from subculturing to preservation is a challenging task. Since improvement in the microbial stability of PSB is a crucial parameter, optimized conditions for cell immobilization and lyophilization were investigated. In PSB immobilization, 0.1-M CaCl₂ was found to be the most effective divalent metal ion solution in terms of cost-effectiveness, resulting in beads with a 4-mm diameter and high loading (1.91×10⁹ CFU/mL) of viable cells. Maintenance of cell viability, external appearance, and color of PSB beads was best in 3.5% NaCl during storage. In lyophilization, the addition of skim milk (9%) and dextrose (2%) as cryoprotective additives allowed the highest cell viability. Over an 18-week shrimp breeding period, when optimally manufactured beads and lyophilized powder of PSB were applied to shrimp aquaculture water, NH⁴⁺, NO₃^-, and NO₂^- were more effectively removed by 55%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, compared to controls. Thus, microbial stability of PSB through optimized cell immobilization and lyophilization was successfully enhanced, enabling a wide application.

Many techniques have been proposed and investigated for microlens array manufacturing in three-dimensional (3D) structures. We present fabricating a microlens array using selective laser etching and a CO₂ laser. The femtosecond laser was employed to produce multiple micro-cracks that comprise the predesigned 3D structure. Subsequently, the wet etching process with a KOH solution was used to produce the primary microlens array structures. To polish the nonoptical surface to the optical surface, we performed reflow postprocessing using a CO₂ laser. We confirmed that the micro lens array can be manufactured in three primary shapes (cone, pyramid and hemisphere). Compared to our previous study, the processing time required for laser processing was reduced from approximately 1 hour to less than 30 seconds using the proposed processing method. Therefore, micro lens arrays can be manufactured using our processing method and can be applied to mass productionon large surface areas.
