This study designed and implemented a query model for consecutive analyses of dynamic multivariate graph data. First, the query model consists of two procedures; setting the discriminant function, and determining an alteration method. Second, the query model was implemented as a query system that consists of a query panel, a graph visualization panel, and a property panel. A Node-Link Diagram and the Force-Directed Graph Drawing algorithm were used for the visualization of the graph. The results of the queries are visually presented through the graph visualization panel. Finally, this study used the data of worldwide import & export data of small arms to verify our model. The significance of this research is in the fact that, through the model which is able to conduct consecutive analyses on dynamic graph data, it helps overcome the limitations of previous models which can only perform discrete analysis on dynamic data. This research is expected to contribute to future studies such as online decision making and complex network analysis, that use dynamic graph models.

Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) is an advanced technology in image recognition. Because of extreme computing resource requirements, DCNN implementation with software alone cannot achieve real-time requirement. Therefore, the need to implement DCNN accelerator hardware is increasing. In this paper, we present a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based hardware accelerator design of DCNN targeting handwritten Hangul character recognition application. Also, we present design optimization techniques in SDAccel environments for searching the optimal FPGA design space. The techniques we used include memory access optimization and computing unit parallelism, and data conversion. We achieved about 11.19 ms recognition time per character with Xilinx FPGA accelerator. Our design optimization was performed with Xilinx HLS and SDAccel environment targeting Kintex XCKU115 FPGA from Xilinx. Our design outperforms CPU in terms of energy efficiency (the number of samples per unit energy) by 5.88 times, and GPGPU in terms of energy efficiency by 5 times. We expect the research results will be an alternative to GPGPU solution for real-time applications, especially in data centers or server farms where energy consumption is a critical problem.

As differential computation analysis attack(DCA) which is context of side-channel analysis on white-box cryptography is proposed, masking white-box cryptography based on table encoding has been proposed by Lee et al. to counter DCA. Existing higher-order DCA for the masked white box cryptography did not consider the masking implementation structure based on table encoding, so it is impossible to apply this attack on the countermeasure suggested by Lee et al. In this paper, we propose a new higher-order DCA method that can be applied to the implementation of masking based on table encoding, and prove its effectiveness by finding secret key information of masking white-box cryptography suggested by Lee et al. in practice.

Background: Skin microbiota is important for maintenance of skin homeostasis; however, its disturbance may cause an increase in pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, we aimed to develop a red ginseng formulation that can selectively promote beneficial bacteria. Methods: The effects of red ginseng formulation on microorganism growth were analyzed by comparing the growth rates of Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes. Various preservatives mixed with red ginseng formulation were evaluated to determine the ideal composition for selective growth promotion of S. epidermidis. Red ginseng formulation with selected preservative was loaded into a biocompatible polymer mixture and applied to the faces of 20 female subjects in the clinical trial to observe changes in the skin microbiome. Results: Red ginseng formulation promoted the growth of S. aureus and S. epidermidis compared to fructooligosaccharide. When 1,2-hexanediol was applied with red ginseng formulation, only S. epidermidis showed selective growth. The analysis of the release rates of ginsenoside-Rg1 and -Re revealed that the exact content of Pluronic F-127 was around 11%. The application of hydrogel resulted in a decrease in C. acnes in all subjects. In subjects with low levels of S. epidermidis, the distribution of S. epidermidis was significantly increased with the application of hydrogel formulation and total microbial species of subjects decreased by 50% during the clinical trial. Conclusion: We confirmed that red ginseng formulation with 1,2-hexanediol can help maintain skin homeostasis through improvement of skin microbiome.

The explosive growth of cryptocurrency, led by Bitcoin has emerged as a major issue in the financial market recently. As a result, interest in cryptocurrency investment is increasing, but the market opens 24 hours and 365 days a year, price volatility, and exponentially increasing number of cryptocurrencies are provided as risks to cryptocurrency investors. For that reasons, It is raising the need for research to reduct investors' risks by dividing cryptocurrency which is not suitable for recommendation. Unlike the previous studies of maximizing returns by simply predicting the future of cryptocurrency prices or constructing cryptocurrency portfolios by focusing on returns, this paper reflects the tendencies of investors and presents an appropriate recommendation method with interpretation that can reduct investors' risks by selecting suitable Altcoins which are recommended using Apriori algorithm, one of the machine learning techniques, but based on the similarity and association rules of Bitocoin.

기후변화로 홍수 및 가뭄의 빈도 증가로 인해 수자원 부족 현상이 지속되고 있다. 하천유량은 기저유출과 직접유출으로 구성되어 있으며 갈수기의 유량의 대부분은 기저유출로 이루어져 있다. 기저유출의 감소는 어류의 서식지 감소, 수질 악화 등 부정적인 영향을 하천 환경에 준다. 하천의 유역별로 직접유출과 기저유출을 분리하여 기저유출량을 정량적으로 산정하고 그 변동성을 해석하는 것은 유역관리에 있어 반드시 필요하다. 기저유출 분리 방법 중 BFlow (Baseflow filter program)는 유역 단위 모형인 SWAT과 연계되어 장기유출에 대한 기저유출 특성을 파악하는데 사용되어 왔다. BFlow는 유역의 특성에 따라 총 3개의 filter 중 한 개를 선택하여 하천유량에 대한 filter의 통과량으로 기저유출을 계산하며 총 세 번의 filter값을 각각 pass 1 ~ 3로 표현한다. 기존의 연구에서는 pass 1, pass 2를 이용해서 기저유출을 산정하였으나 pass 2보다 pass 1의 첨두가 하천유출수문곡선의 하강부에 있는 변곡점에 접근하여 기저유출이 분리된다. 또한, BFlow에서 기저유출 분리시 단일 β parameter가 적용되며 수문곡선의 감수부에 민감도가 높은 변수이다. SWAT 모형을 통해 모의된 유출량은 실측자료를 기반으로 검,보정하였고 모의 결과의 기저유출량과 BFlow의 β parameter를 유황별로 적용한 pass 1의 기저유출량 결과를 비교하였다. 기존 SWAT 기저유출량보다 수정된 BFlow를 통해 하천유량에서 기저유량을 분리한 결과가 수문곡선감수부의 변곡점에 기저유출 첨두가 위치되는 것으로 분석되어 유황별로 β parameter를 적용시켜 감수부 특징을 반영할 수 있게 수정하였다고 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천 및 유역 환경 관련 정책 수립 시 필요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 기후변화에 따른 집중호우, 태풍의 규모 및 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 도시지역은 전통적인 배수체계가 한계에 도달함에 따라 기후변화에 대한 취약성이 다른 지역에 비하여 더욱 크게 나타나 기후변화에 효과적으로 적응하기 위한 방안으로 도심녹지, 빗물정원, 투수포장 등 그린인프라 확충의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시하천 유역 내 그린인프라 확충에 따른 강우유출특성의 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. 그린인프라의 확충은 불투수층을 투수층으로 변화시켜 물순환 건전화에 기여한다. 본 연구에서는 부산의 대표적인 도시하천 유역인 온천천유역을 대상으로 강우유출모형인 HSPF를 적용하여 유역 내 투수층 증가에 따른 유출특성의 변화를 살펴보았다. 온천천 유역을 세 개의 소유역(온천천 상류, 세병교, 온천천 하류)으로 구분하고 현재 상황(불투수면적비 각각 90.98, 92.96, 94.25%)에서 불투수면적을 10%씩 감소시켜가며 유역 내 지표유출량, 침투량의 변화를 살펴보았으며, 온천천 유량(갈수량, 저수량, 평수량, 풍수량, 홍수량)의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 유역 내 불투수면적 감소에 따라 강수의 침투가 증가하고 이에 따른 지표유출이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 유역 내 불투수층이 감소함에 따라 지표유출량은 최대 32%까지 감소하고 침투량은 최대 71%까지 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 온천천의 갈수량, 저수량, 평수량, 풍수량은 증가하는 반면, 홍수 시의 유량을 의미하는 홍수량은 최대 15% 이상 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 유역 내 불투수층의 감소를 통해 평상시에는 추가적인 하천유량 확보가 가능하며, 홍수 시에는 반대로 홍수량을 저감시킴으로써 이에 따른 피해를 줄일 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구를 통해 그린인프라가 하천유량 확보 및 홍수량 저감을 통해 유역의 물순환 건전화에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 효과적인 기후변화 적응을 위해 도시하천 유역의 그린인프라 확충을 위한 노력을 기울일 필요가 있다.

Cellulose has been widely applied into various medical fields including scaffolding, tissue engineering and tissue formation. In this study, we manufactured cellulose medical fiber from Styela clava tunics(SCT-CS) and analyzed the tensile strength, elongation at break, fluid uptake and surface morphology. And then, the biocompatibility and toxicity of SCT-CS were measured in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats after the implantation for 30, 60 and 90 days. The level of tensile strength and fluid uptake were lower in SCT-CS than chromic catgut(CCG), while elongation at break level were maintained the higher in SCT-CS. Also, the roughness with pronounced surface patterns as a result of in vivo degradation was significantly greater in CCG than this of SCT-CS although these levels gradually appeared with time in both groups. After implantation for 90 days, SCT-CS and CCG was successfully implanted around muscle of thigh without any significant immune response. Furthermore, no significant alterations were measured in serum parameters and the specific pathological features induced by most toxic compounds for liver and kidney toxicity. Therefore, these results suggest that SCT-CS showing good biocompatibility and non-toxicity can be successfully prepared from cellulose powder of SCT as well as has the potential for use as a powerful biomaterial for medical sutures.

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is the most common mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorder which is inherited as an autosomal recessive pattern. MCAD deficiency is caused by mutations in the ACADM gene; medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene (ACADM; OMIM 607008) on chromosome 1p31 which encodes MCAD, the mitochondrial enzyme which catalyzes the first reaction in beta-oxidation of fatty acids with medium-chain length. Here, we describe one Korean pediatric case of MCAD deficiency, which was diagnosed during newborn screening by tandem mass spectrometry and confirmed by molecular analysis. The level of hexanoyl (C6), octanoyl (C8), decenoyl (C10:1) carnitine, and C8/C2 ratio was elevated. Homogenous c.1189T>A (p.Tyr397Asn) mutation of ACADM gene was identified by direct sequencing. He has been asymptomatic and has shown normal growth and development by 25 months of age without any intervention. There was no episode of metabolic acidosis during follow-up period.
