The skin is the largest organ of the integument system whose surface is closely related with many physiological and pathological conditions. Various methods are used to understand the structural and functional status of human skin. We would like to present usefulness of scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observation of skin replica and its significance of training module for a novice. The silicon replicas from several regions of the body (hand, finger, forearm, lip, and face) were casted by applying Exafine$^{(R)}$ mixture. The positive replicas were prepared by applying EPON 812 mixture on negative silicon replicas. Some of the negative silicon replicas were cut with a razor blade and surface profiles were observed. The negative and positive replicas were coated with platinum and were observed under the scanning electron microscope. We could investigate the detailed structures of the human skin surface without any physical damage to the subject. The positive replicas depicted real surface structure of the human skin vividly. The cross sectional view of the negative silicon replicas provided surface profile clearly. The scanning electron microscopic observation of the human skin replicas would be useful to study skin surface structures and to evaluate medical and esthetical applications.

In the Grid Database, some replicas will have more requests from the clients than others. A fast consistency algorithm has been presented to satisfy the high demand nodes in a shorter period of time. But it has poor performance in multiple regions of high demand for forming the island of locally consistent replicas. Then, a leader election method is proposed, whereas it needs much additional cost for periodic leader election, information storage, and message passing, Also, false leader can be created. In this paper, we propose a tree-based algorithm for replica update propagation. Leader replicas with high demand are considered as the roots of trees which are interconnected. All the other replicas are sorted and considered as nodes of the trees. Once an update occurs at any replica, it need be transmitted to the leader replicas first. Every node that receives the update propagates it to its children in the tree. The update propagation is optimized by cost reduction for fixed propagation schedule. And it is also flexible for the dynamic model in which the demand conditions change with time.

The purpose of this study was to develop children-friendly education materials based on food replicas for the dietary education of lower grade elementary students. Through a literature review on current dietary problems and dietary education for children, five education themes were chosen: balanced diet, seasonal food, traditional food, noodle culture, and making instant noodles. A total of 304 key food items for food replicas were selected based on the themes: six basic food groups (113 items), balanced meals (37 items), dietary habits (74 items), spring foods (13 items), summer foods (17 items), autumn foods (16 items), winter foods (11 items), Korean traditional foods (52 items), Korean native noodles (18 items), noodles from foreign countries (19 items), and making instant noodles (46 items). Next, a food replica database was developed consisting of name of the food, picture, size, ingredient, recipe, reference, and attached code. Powerpoint slides and teaching plans for all education themes were developed utilizing the food replicas in order to raise interest and understanding of serving size and intake amount. This research provides a basis for the development of food replicas as effective dietary education materials for elementary students and their use in extra-curricular activities, after school programs, community health centers, or food companies.

Photonic crystals containing rugate structure result in a mirror with high reflectivity in a specific narrow spectral region and are prepared by applying a computer-generated pseudo-sinusoidal current waveform. Well defined 1-dimentional photonic polymer replicas showing a reflectivity at 534 nm have been successfully obtained by the removal of rugate porous silicon (PSi) template from the polystyrene composite film. XRD measurement indicates that the oxidized rugate PSi has been completely removed from the composite films. Polymer replicas exhibit a sharp resonance in the reflectivity spectrum. Optical characteristics of photonic polymer replicas indicate that the surface of polymer film has a negative structure of rugate PSi. These replicas are stable in aqueous solutions for several days without any degradation. The methods have been provided for the construction of photonic structures with polymers.

Shark skin has functionalities such as self-cleaning and antifouling; it also exhibits excellent drag reduction owing to a hierarchical structure of microgrooves and nanometer-long chain mucus drag reduction interfaces around the shark body. In this study, the wettability of a shark skin surface and its replicas are evaluated. First, a shark skin template is taken from a real shark. Then, shark skin replicas are produced directly from a shark skin template, using a micromolding technique. The quantitative replication precision of the shark skin replicas is evaluated by comparing the geometry of the shark skin template to the replica using 2D surface profiles. Contact angles at the solid-air-water interfaces are evaluated for the shark skin template and its replicas under two conditions: with and without hydrophobic coating. The results show that the microriblets on shark skin improve the hydrophobic feature and play a critical role in self-cleaning.

Recently, contents distribution technologies have been used to cope with the explosive demand for Web services. In this paper, we addressed the issue of the optimal placement of replicas in the environment where Web contents are replicated. We placed replicas so that clients can have access to replicas with the proper delay and bandwidth. We attempted to solve the problem via dynamic programming considering cost of delay and traffic We have come up with time complexity that is less than $O(n^2)$. We defined the threshold and proved that our algorithm guarantees the reliable services.

The replication of data is used to increase its availability, improve the performance of a system, and advance the fault-tolerance of a system. In this paper, it is required for the information about the location of a primary site of the replicas of each data item. The replicas of each data item are hierarchically organized to a tree based on the fact that the root is the primary replica in partially replicated databases. It eliminates useless propagation since the propagation can be done to only sites having replicas following the hierarchy of data. And our algorithm schedules transactions so that the execution order of updates at each primary site is identical at all sites by using timestamp. Using our algorithm, the consistent data are supplied and the performance of read-only transactions can be improved by using tree structure of replicas of each data item.

최근 중요유물의 가치를 제고하고 일반인의 이해를 돕기 위한 방법으로 복제품을 전시하는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 우리나라에서 유물복제는 외형에만 치중한 복원 복제 방법으로 많이 이루어지고 있다. 복제품, 유물복원이 증대하고 있는 상황에서 유물에 손상을 최소화하고 조형물처럼 커다란 유물에도 적용 가능한 복원기술의 연구가 필요하다. 월정교 출토 사자상 복원을 위한 모본 제작은 미술사적 조사를 바탕으로 3차원 스캔을 활용한 실측도와 단면도를 만들었고 이를 기초로 비접촉식 복제방법을 선택하였다. 비접촉식 방법의 장점은 정밀한 결과물도 얻을 수 있는 것이다. 일반적으로 비접촉식 방법일 경우 소형 유물에만 적용 가능하고 추가적인 재처리 등의 문제점이 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나 금번 연구대상인 사자상 같은 조형물에도 정밀하게 적용 가능함을 발견할 수 있었다. 따라서 이 연구는 월정교 출토 사자상의 학술적 가치를 제고하는 한편 사자상의 형태를 이용한 복원을 통해 복원된 월정교의 역사적 진정성을 보완하는 의미가 있으며, 유사 유물의 복제와 복원에 관하여 연구 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Well defined 1-dimentional (1-D) photonic crystals of polystyrene replicas have been successfully obtained by removing the porous silicon from the free-standing rugate porous silicon/phenylmethylpolysiloxane composite film. Rugate porous silicon was prepared by an electrochemical etching of silicon wafer in HF/ethanol mixture solution. Exfoliated rugate porous silicon was obtained by an electropolishing condition. A composite of rugate porous silicon/phenylmethylpolysiloxane composite film was prepared by casting a toluene solution of phenylmethylpolysiloxane onto the top of rugate porous silicon film. After the removal of the template by chemical dissolution, the phenylmethylpolysiloxane castings replicate the photonic features and the nanostructure of the master. The photonic phenylmethylpolysiloxane replicas are robust and flexible in ambient condition and exhibit an excellent reflectivity in their reflective spectra. The photonic band gaps of replicas are narrower than that of typical semiconductor quantum dots.

다양한 분산 소프트웨어 컴포넌트들의 정보 교환을 위해 비동기, 다대다 메시지 교환이 가능한 브로커 구조가 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 특별히 많은 사용자 및 메시지를 지원하기 위해 높은 확장성의 분산 메시지 브로커가 제안되었다. 브로커의 가용성 및 장애 극복 능력을 향상시키기 위해 메시지 레플리카를 사용하여 액티브-스탠바이 혹은 액티브-액티브 구조를 사용하게 된다. 그러나, 액티브-스탠바이의 경우 낮은 가용성의 문제, 그리고 액티브-액티브의 경우 동기화 오버헤드가 전체 성능을 낮추는 문제를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 장애 상황의 극복이 가능하면서도 분산 메시지 브로커의 가용성을 향상시키기 위해 메시지 레플리카를 액티브-액티브 구조로 구성하여 분산 브로커의 요청 부하를 분산시키는 기법을 제안하였다. 스탠바이 레플리카들이 액티브 레플리카로부터 요청을 전달받아 나누어 처리함으로써 브로커를 구성하는 노드 수의 증가 없이 요청 부하를 분산시킬 수 있었다. 이때 메시지 동기화 과정은 분산 코디네이터를 이용, 분산 락을 구현함으로써 모든 액티브 레플리카들이 한 때에 동기화를 진행하도록 하였고 각 액티브 레플리가 동기화를 할 때보다 추가적인 오버헤드를 적게 하였다. 본 제안의 성능을 평가하기 위해 제안 기법과 기존의 액티브-스탠바이 기법을 기반으로 브로커 프로토타입을 구현하고 메시지의 생산, 소비 및 전체 생산-소비 구간 처리 성능을 측정 비교하였고, 분산 락으로 인한 오버헤드 수식을 제시하였다. 실험 결과에서 본 제안 기법이 더 높은 확장성과 메시지 처리성능을 보임을 확인하였다.
