    Abstract: Disclosed are an integrate-and-fire neuron circuit implemented to enable an integrate-and-fire operation with only a small number of devices by using bistable resistance characteristics of the same two heterojunction NPN devices, unlike a CMOS-based integrate-and-fire neuron circuit having a complex structure, and an operation method thereof. In one or more aspects, an integrate-and-fire neuron circuit and an operation method thereof can increase neuron integration in a system by implementing an integrate-and-fire operation of neurons using only three transistors and two capacitors, or two transistors, one resistor and one capacitor, can improve the efficiency of spiking neural network learning by controlling a fire threshold point of neurons through regulation of a gate voltage of the same two NPN devices, and can expect an increase in energy efficiency of the entire system through inhibition of excessive fire by implementing excitatory and inhibitory post-synaptic potentials.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tree-search based trajectory planning and resource management method and apparatus of an unmanned aerial vehicle base station. The tree-search based trajectory planning and resource management method of an unmanned aerial vehicle base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: decomposing an optimization problem of trajectory planning, user association (UA), resource allocation (RA), and power control (PC) related to the unmanned aerial vehicle base station into a time axis; managing resources by jointly optimizing variables of the UA, RA, and PC for an arbitrary location of the unmanned aerial vehicle base station; and obtaining the trajectory planning by obtaining position variables based on the obtained predetermined function value and a depth-first search (DFS) algorithm.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sample holder on which a crystal sample for serial crystallography is mounted, or the like. Compared to an existing sample holder, the sample holder according to the present invention can be manufactured by a very simple manufacturing process and at low costs, and does not physically and chemically affect other equipment therearound while collecting X-ray diffraction data. Therefore, it is possible to stably operate a beam line, to increase beam time efficiency, and further to perform raster scanning so that many diffraction images can be obtained even in a small-sized chip. In addition, since the problem of evaporation of a crystallized solution does not occur even when the crystallized solution is stored in the air for a long time, the sample holder is generally easy to use compared to a previously reported sample holder. Therefore, it is expected that the sample holder is very likely to be variously applied to the fixed-target serial crystallographic research field using various samples.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating a micro/nanowire having a nanometer- to micrometer-sized diameter at predetermined positions on an object. The method comprises: preparing a micro/nanopipette having a tip with an inner diameter (dpt) which is substantially the same as the diameter of the micro/nanowire to be fabricated; filling the micro/nanopipette with a solution containing a micro/nanowire-forming material; bringing the solution into contact with the object through the tip of the micro/nanopipette; and pulling the micro/nanopipette apart from the object at a pulling speed lower than or equal to a predetermined critical pulling speed (vc) to fabricate a micro/nanowire having substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of the micro/nanopipette tip (dpt). The critical pulling speed (vc) is defined by a maximum limit of the pulling speed at which the micro/nanowire to be fabricated has the same diameter as the inner diameter of the micro/nanopipette tip (dpt).
