Unveiling Koreanness in Yoon Ha Lee’s Dragon Pearl
No full textThe paper explores the representation of Koreanness in Yoon Ha Lee’s Dragon Pearl, a novel that uniquely blends elements of Korean culture with the space opera genre. By examining key cultural markers such as character names, traditional food, and folklore (notably the gumiho), this study highlights how the novel portrays a diasporic sense of identity and belonging. Furthermore, the paper delves into the challenges and strategies of translating these cultural elements into Korean. Through case studies of key passages, it discusses how to maintain cultural nuance and the author’s intent while adapting the work for a Korean readership. Ultimately, this paper underscores the importance of preserving cultural integrity translating science fiction works that embody cross-cultural narratives

Dragon Pearl) avtorja Yoon Ha Leeja, ki na edinstven način združuje elemente korejske kulture z žanrom vesoljske opere. S preučevanjem ključnih kulturnih označevalcev, kot so imena likov, tradicionalna hrana in folklora (zlasti gumiho), članek izpostavlja upodobitve diasporičnega občutka identitete in pripadnosti v romanu in obenem obravnava izzive in strategije, povezane s prevajanjem teh kulturnih elementov v korejščino. Skozi primere ključnih odlomkov razpravlja, kako ohraniti kulturne odtenke in avtorjevo namero pri prilagajanju dela korejskemu bralstvu. Prispevek poudarja pomen ohranjanja kulturne celovitosti pri prevajanju znanstvenofantastičnih del, ki vključujejo medkulturne pripovedi

Scalable Neuron Circuit Using Conductive-Bridge RAM for Pattern Reconstructions
No full textA novel neuron circuit using a Cu/Ti/Al2O3-based conductive-bridge random access memory (CBRAM) device for hardware neural networks that utilize nonvolatile memories as synaptic weights is introduced. The neuronal operations are designed and proved using SPICE simulations with a Verilog-A device model based on the measured characteristics of the CBRAM device. The applicability of the neuron is demonstrated by constructing a neural network system and applying it to pattern reconstructions that can recall the original patterns from noisy patterns. With these CBRAM-based neurons, a reduction in the area and power of neuromorphic chips is expected in comparison with CMOS-only neuron implementations.1131sciescopu
Gas Mask X
Full text linkGas Mask X is a 21-minute psychological genre, short narrative film by Yoon-ha Noh that was completed and premiered in November 2012. The film is about a character, Gas Mask X who carries the guilt and trauma about his mother and father\u27s deaths. Gas Mask X\u27s mother died when she was giving birth to him, and his father committed suicide in front of him when Gas Mask X was only 10 years old. His horrible memories have continually `suffocated\u27 him, so he has worn a gas mask since after the death of his father. Gas Mask X reveals how the main character has suffered and continues to suffer in his life and what he decides to do about this to end the suffering and redeem his innocence. This paper discusses the intention and original concept of the film, as well as the processes for producing the film from pre-production to post production
Optimization of Conductance Change in Pr1-xCaxMnO3-Based Synaptic Devices for Neuromorphic Systems
No full textThe optimization of conductance change behavior in synaptic devices based on analog resistive memory is studied for the use in neuromorphic systems. Resistive memory based on Pr1-xCaxMnO3 (PCMO) is applied to a neural network application (classification of Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology handwritten digits using a multilayer perceptron trained with backpropagation) under a wide variety of simulated conductance change behaviors. Linear and symmetric conductance changes (e.g., self-similar response during both increasing and decreasing device conductance) are shown to offer the highest classification accuracies. Further improvements can be obtained using nonidentical training pulses, at the cost of requiring measurement of individual conductance during training. Such a system can be expected to achieve, with our existing PCMO-based synaptic devices, a generalization accuracy on a previously-unseen test set of 90.55%. These results are promising for hardware demonstration of high neuromorphic accuracies using existing synaptic devices.X114827sciescopu
Statistical variability study of random dopant fluctuation on gate-all-around inversion-mode silicon nanowire field-effect transistors
Full text linkRandom dopant fluctuation effects of gate-all-around inversion-mode silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) with different diameters and extension lengths are investigated. The nanowire FETs with smaller diameter and longer extension length reduce average values and variations of subthreshold swing and drain-induced barrier lowering, thus improving short channel immunity. Relative variations of the drain currents increase as the diameter decreases because of decreased current drivability from narrower channel cross-sections. Absolute variations of the drain currents decrease critically as the extension length increases due to decreasing the number of arsenic dopants penetrating into the channel region. To understand variability origins of the drain currents, variations of source/drain series resistance and low-field mobility are investigated. All these two parameters affect the variations of the drain currents concurrently. The nanowire FETs having extension lengths sufficient to prevent dopant penetration into the channel regions and maintaining relatively large cross-sections are suggested to achieve suitable short channel immunity and small variations of the drain currents.
