Serially Connected Micro Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells for Compact High-Voltage Sources

We demonstrate a compact amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar module to be used as high-voltage power supply. In comparison with the organic solar module, the main advantages of the a-Si solar module are its compatibility with photolithography techniques and relatively high power conversion efficiency. The open circuit voltage of a-Si solar cells can be easily controlled by serially interconnecting a-Si solar cells. Moreover, the a-Si solar module can be easily patterned by photolithography in any desired shapes with high areal densities. Using the photolithographic technique, we fabricate a compact a-Si solar module with noticeable photovoltaic characteristics as compared with the reported values for high-voltage power supplies

Low Frequency and Variability of FLT3 Mutations in Korean Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

FLT3 mutations are common genetic changes, and are reported to have prognostic significance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) and the D835 activating mutation in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the genomic DNA of Korean patients with AML at diagnosis and during follow-up. There were 226 patients with AML enrolled between March 1996 and August 2005. The incidence of ITD and TKD at diagnosis was 13% (29/226) and 3% (6/226). When compared to Western and other Asian patients with AML, Korean patients had a lower frequency by about two-thirds of ITD and TKD. Among the non-M3 cases (N=203), the patients with an ITD had a significantly shorter event-free survival when compared with those without an ITD (p=0.0079). Among 54 relapsed patients, 9 patients had the FLT3 ITD at diagnosis. Six patients demonstrated a reappearance of the ITD and 3 patients remained negative at relapse. One patient, among 45 patients who relapsed, had a negative baseline ITD but acquired a de novo ITD at relapse. There were 101 samples from 93 patients in remission; they were all negative for an ITD. Among 34 patients who failed to achieve a remission, five patients had a persistent ITD and one patient had a de novo ITD. These results support the concept of resistance of FLT3 ITD leukemic clones to chemotherapy. Therefore, effective therapy with FLT3 targeting agents may improve the prognosis of non-M3 AML patients with the FLT3 mutation

Reduced yellowing of silver nanowire transparent conductive electrodes by simple hydrazine treatment

This paper introduces a simple hydrazine treatment method to reduce the yellowing of silver nanowire transparent conductive electrodes. To investigate the effects of hydrazine treatment on the yellowing of silver nanowire electrodes, the optical and electrical properties of silver nanowire electrodes were analyzed before and after hydrazine treatment. The optimal hydrazine treatment conditions were investigated by varying the concentration and thickness of hydrazine; the effect of hydrazine treatment on the long-term stability of silver nanowires was also analyzed

INT 기반 네트워크 이상 상태 탐지 기술 연구

네트워크 이상 상태 탐지는 네트워크 상의 플로우에 대한 정보를 수집하여 네트워크에서 발생하는 악의적인 공격을 실시간으로 탐지하는 기술이다. 실시간으로 패킷 단위의 세부적인 네트워크 정보를 제공하는 INT (In-band Network Telemetry) 기술을 이용하면 네트워크 홉 단위 지연 (hop latency)과 큐 점유율 (queue occupancy) 등 기존 네트워크에서 제공하지 않는, 보다 세부적인 정보를 실시간으로 수집 가능하여 네트워크 이상 상태 탐지에 활용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 INT를 이용하여 추출한 네트워크 상태 정보를 머신 러닝의 입력 특징으로 사용하여 더 높은 성능을 가진 이상 상태 탐지 시스템을 구현하는 방법을 제안하고 이를 실험을 통해 검증한다. Network anomaly detection is a technology that collects information about flows on a network and detects malicious attacks occurring in a network in real time. In-band Network Telemetry (INT) technology provides more detailed information in real time, that is not provided by existing networks, such as hop latency and queue occupancy. In this paper, we propose the method to implement an anomaly detection system with higher performance by using INT as an input feature of machine learning and verify it through experiments.22Nkc

Enhancing Thermal Oxidation Stability of Silver Nanowire Transparent Electrodes by Using a Cesium Carbonate-Incorporated Overcoating Layer

Despite their excellent electrical and optical properties, Ag nanowires (NWs) suffer from oxidation when exposed to air for several days. In this study, we synthesized a Cs carbonate-incorporated overcoating layer by spin-coating and ultraviolet curing to prevent the thermal oxidation of Ag NWs. Cs incorporation increased the decomposition temperature of the overcoating layer, thus enhancing its thermal resistance. The effects of the Cs carbonate-incorporated overcoating layer on the optoelectrical properties and stability of Ag NWs were investigated in detail. The Ag NW electrode reinforced with the Cs carbonate-incorporated overcoating layer exhibited excellent thermal oxidation stability after exposure to air for 55 days at 85 °C and a relative humidity of 85%. The novel overcoating layer synthesized in this study is a promising passivation layer for Ag NWs against thermal oxidation under ambient conditions. This overcoating layer can be applied in large-area optoelectronic devices based on Ag NW electrodes

A lightweight D2D security protocol with request-forecasting for next-generation mobile networks

5G-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communication plays an instrumental role in minimizing latency, maximizing resource utilization, improving speed, and boosting system capacity. However, the technology confronts several challenges to realize its enormous potential fully. Security and privacy concerns are at the top of the list that can jeopardize the regular operation of D2D communication by executing various assaults such as free-riding and impersonation. Although several researchers suggested different solutions to these concerns, most are too heavy for resource-constrained devices or are vulnerable to security risks. Consequently, we proposed a lightweight and provably secure D2D communication protocol comprising initialization, device discovery, and link setup phases. The protocol is light in terms of computational overhead and communication latency while verifiably secure through formal security analysis. The protocol relies on a new network function, called D2D Security Management Function (DSMF), located near the devices to facilitate secure communication and improve performance. Moreover, we used deep learning-based UE trust score forecasting to better handle and prioritize communication requests when the network is overloaded. The comparative analysis against state-of-the-art security schemes concerning computational and communication overheads shows that our protocol is a superior alternative for resource-constrained IoT devices wishing to perform D2D communication in a 5G network
