OCI-Based Group Communication Support in CORBA

Group communication is a useful mechanism guaranteeing consistency among replicated objects. The existing approaches do not allow transparent plug-in of group communication protocols into CORBA. They either require modification of CORBA or OS, or provide no room for incorporating group communication transport protocols into CORBA. We thus propose a generic group communication framework that allows transparent plug-in of various group communication protocols with no modification of existing CORBA. We extend the open communications interface (OCI) to support interoperability, reusability of existing group communication, and independency on ORB and OS. We also define the group communication inter-ORB protocol (GCIOP) as a group communication instantiation of the general inter-ORB protocol (GIOP) that encapsulates underlying group communication protocols. The proposed scheme can be exploited for fault-tolerant CORBA (FT CORBA)

Development of the Korean Spine Database and Automatic Surface Mesh Intersection Algorithm for Constructing e

By 2026, Korea is expected to surpass the UN’s definition of an aged society and reach the level of a superaged society. With an aging population come increased disorders involving the spine. To prevent unnecessary spinal surgery and support scientific diagnosis of spinal disease and systematic prediction of treatment outcomes, we have been developing e-Spine, which is a computer simulation model of the human spine. In this paper, we present the Korean spine database and automatic surface mesh intersection algorithm to construct e-Spine. To date, the Korean spine database has collected spine data from 77 cadavers and 298 patients. The spine data consists of 2D images from CT, MRI, or X-ray, 3D shapes, geometry data, and property data. The volume and quality of the Korean spine database are now the world’s highest ones. In addition, our triangular surface mesh intersection algorithm automatically remeshes the spine-implant intersection model to make it valid for finite element analysis (FEA). This makes it possible to run the FEA using the spine-implant mesh model without any manual effort. Our database and surface mesh intersection algorithm will offer great value and utility in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients suffering from spinal diseases

Optical TCAD on the Net: A tight-binding study of inter-band light transitions in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot photodetectors

A new capability of our well-known NEMO 3-D simulator (Ref. Klimeck et al., 2007 [10]) is introduced by carefully investigating the utility of III–V semiconductor quantum dots as infrared photodetectors at a wavelength of 1.2–1.5 μm. We not only present a detailed description of the simulation methodology coupled to the atomistic sp3d5s∗ tight-binding band model, but also validate the suggested methodology with a focus on a proof of principle on small GaAs quantum dots (QDs). Then, we move the simulation scope to optical properties of realistically sized dome-shaped InAs/GaAs QDs that are grown by self- assembly and typically contain a few million atoms. Performing numerical experiments with a variation in QD size, we not only show that the strength of ground state inter- band light transitions can be optimized via QD size-engineering, but also find that the hole ground state wavefunction serves as a control factor of transition strengths. Finally, we briefly introduce the web-based cyber infrastructure that is developed as a government- funded project to support online education and research via TCAD simulations. This work not only serves as a useful guideline to experimentalists for potential device designs and other modelers for the self-development of optical TCAD, but also provides a good chance to learn about the science gateway project ongoing in the Republic of Korea

A Transparent Object Group Reference Management Scheme for Group Communication in CORBA

this paper, we propose a transparent object group reference management scheme despite dynamic membership changes. An object group reference, called a group IOR, in the proposed scheme includes a group name, a host name and primary's object key. This allows a client's ORB to make a request directly to a group without extracting the primary's object reference unlike FT-CORBA. We introduce Object Group Reference Manager (OGRM) as an independent component below ORB. When a rst group member creates a group, its group name and IOR are registered at OGRM and the IOR is used as a group IOR. When an additional member joins or an existing member leaves the group, the This research was supported in part by the National Research Laboratory Program funded by Ministry of Science and Technology, the Republic of Kore

OCI-based Group Communication Support in

Abstract—Group communication is a useful mechanism guaranteeing the consistency among replicated objects. The existing approaches do not allow transparent plug-in of group communication protocols into CORBA. They either require modification of CORBA or OS, or provide no room for incorporating group communication transport protocols into CORBA. We propose a generic group communication framework that allows transparent plug-in of various group communication protocols with no modification of existing CORBA. We extend the Open Communications Interface (OCI) to support interoperability, reusability of existing group communication, and independency on ORB and OS. We define Group Communication Inter-ORB Protocol (GCIOP) as a group communication instantiation of General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP) that encapsulates underlying group communication protocols. The proposed scheme can be exploited for fault tolerant CORBA (FT CORBA). Experiment results show that group object invocation using the proposed scheme does not incur performance degradation as the number of members in a group increases

OxyR2 functions as a three-state redox switch to tightly regulate production of Prx2, a peroxiredoxin of vibrio vulnificus

The bacterial transcriptional regulator OxyR is known to function as a two-state redox switch. OxyR senses cellular levels of H2O2 via a "sensing cysteine" that switches from the reduced to a disulfide state upon H2O2 exposure, inducing the expression of antioxidant genes. The reduced and disulfide states of OxyR, respectively, bind to extended and compact regions of DNA, where the reduced state blocks and the oxidized state allows transcription and further induces target gene expression by interacting with RNA polymerase. Vibrio vulnificus OxyR2 senses H2O2 with high sensitivity and induces the gene encoding the antioxidant Prx2. In this study, we used mass spectrometry to identify a third redox state of OxyR2, in which the sensing cysteine was overoxidized to S-sulfonated cysteine (Cys-SO3H) by high H2O2 in vitro and in vivo, where the modification deterred the transcription of prx2. The DNA binding preferences of OxyR2(5CA)-C206D, which mimics overoxidized OxyR2, suggested that overoxidized OxyR2 binds to the extended DNA site, masking the -35 region of the prx2 promoter. These combined results demonstrate that OxyR2 functions as a three-state redox switch to tightly regulate the expression of prx2, preventing futile production of Prx2 in cells exposed to high levels of H2O2 sufficient to inactivate Prx2. We further provide evidence that another OxyR homolog, OxyR1, displays similar three-state behavior, inviting further exploration of this phenomenon as a potentially general regulatory mechanism.Y
