Recent national policy agenda of 'Low-Carbon Green Growth' has been implemented as the important vision of the country. The government has set a target of entering the seven major world powers of Green Nation at 2020, and five major world powers at 2050. In order to achieve the goal, the reduction of greenhouse gases and the composition of green land and transportation has been promoted as an important policy. In a construction industry sector, policies and technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy have been actively developed. In the case of developed countries, research for green road infrastructure has been conducted, which is the basis for certification system of green highway. This paper benchmarks the policies and cases of developed countries, verifies the applicability in the domestic road sector, and suggests the introduction of the certification system of green highway.

This study investigated the carbon offset project activities as the activities of producing commodities by a case study on the Korean Clean Development Mechanism(CDM) industry. This study draw the networks of Korean CDM industry by extracting major agents and surrounding agents and by analyzing the characteristics of the linkages. The project participants owning the CDM projects hires CDM consultancies and designated operational entities(DOEs). The technical knowledge for carbon emission reduction made links between project participants and the CDM project operational knowledge made links between project participants and CDM consultancies. Links between project participants and DOEs are affected by social and geographical proximities. The value of the knowledge for CDM industrial activities determined the role of agents and type of linkages. The agents with the irreplaceable knowledge could be a project conducting firms. The agents without it became outsourcing contractors.

This study estimates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction resulting from photovoltaic and wind power technologies using a bottom-up approach for an indirect emission source (scope 2) in South Korea. To estimate GHG reductions from photovoltaic and wind power activities under standard operating conditions, methodologies are derived from the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national GHG inventories and the guidelines for local government greenhouse inventories of Korea published in 2016. Indirect emission factors for electricity are obtained from the 2011 Korea Power Exchange. The total annual GHG reduction from photovoltaic power (23,000 tons CO_2eq) and wind power (30,000 tons CO_2eq) was estimated to be 53,000 tons CO_2eq. The estimation of individual GHGs showed that the largest component is carbon dioxide, accounting for up to 99% of the total GHG. The results of estimation from photovoltaic and wind power were 63.60% and 80.22% of installed capacity, respectively. The annual average GHG reductions from photovoltaic and wind power per year per unit installed capacity (MW) were estimated as 549 tons CO_2eq/yr·MW and 647 tons CO_2eq/yr·MW, respectively. Finally, the results showed that the level of GHG reduction per year per installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind power is 62% and 42% compared to the CDM project, respectively.

Photovoltaic system is the core one among the new and renewable energy of the low Carbon and green growth. Recently, the necessity developing PV is emerging since its of less green hose gas emissions. However, a survey or research on the PV system has been hardly performed. It's not easy to find a appropriate location in consideration of environment. These circumstances encourages a systematic approach for the PV system development. The purpose of this study is to propose a methodology of the location analysis for developing PV system. With this, constraint and location criteria with weights of Analytic Hierarchy Process are established and quantification method of each factor is presented. The location analysis of PV system using the GIS were generalized and the results of analysis for redundant topographic features were presented as 3 criteria of the suitability rank.

The computed tomogrpahy(CT) provides a high quality in images of human body but contributes to the relatively high patient dose. The frequency of CT examination is increasing and, therefore, the concerns about the patient dose are also increasing. In this study the experimental determination of patient dose was performed by using a physical anthropomorphic phantom and thermoluminescent dosimeter(TLD). The measurements were done for the both axial and spiral scan mode. As a result the effective doses for each scan mode were 17.78mSv and 10.01 mSv respectively and the fact that the degree of the reduction in the patient dose depends on the pitch scan parameter was confirmed. The measurement methods suggested in this study can be applied for the reassessment of the patient dose when the technique in CT equipment is developed or the protocol for CT scanning is changed.

Regarding greenhouse gas reduction, BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) is an important technology that can generate its own power in urban buildings based on clean energy resources. In particular, the perovskite material is attracting attention as a BIPV solar cell because it can have various colors and transparency. However, it is not easy to increase both transparency and efficiency factors because solar cell transparency and efficiency are inversely related to each other. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a semi-transparent perovskite solar cell structure that can improve both transparency and efficiency, and evaluate the stability according to international standard.

A cost effective three-dimensional color gamut mapping architecture is described. The conventional three-dimensional reduced resolution look-up table is considered and the concept of three-dimensional reduced resolution difference look-up table is introduced for cost effective and real-time color gamut mapping. The overall architecture uses one-dimensional memory decomposition of three-dimensional gamut mapping look-up table, three-dimensional interpolation and simple addition operation for generating the final gamut mapped colors. The required computational cost is greatly reduced by look-up table resolution adjustment and further reduced by the gamut mapping rule modification. The proposed architecture greatly reduces the required memory size and hardware complexity compared to the conventional method and it is suitable for real-time applications. The proposed hardware is suitable for FPGA and ASIC implementation and could be applied to the real-time display quality enhancement purposes.

These days, many image processing techniques have been studied for effective image compression. Among those, The 2D image filtering is widely used for 2D image processing. The 2D image filtering can be implemented by performing the 1D linear filter separately in the horizontal and vertical direction. Efficiency of image compression depends on what filtering method is used. Generally, circular convolution is widely used in 2D image filtering for image processing. However it doesn't consider correlations at the boundary region of image, therefore effective filtering can not be performed. To solve this problem. I proposed new convolution technique using loop convolution which satisfies the 'alias-free' and 'error-free' requirement in the reconstructed image. This method could provide more effective compression performance than former methods because it used highly-correlated data when performed at the boundary region. In this paper, Sub-band Coding(SBC) was adopted to analyze efficiency of proposed filtering technique, and the simulator developed by Java-based language was used to examine the performance of proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a handoff method supporting LBS (Location Based Services) Information in mobile clouding environment. In mobile clouding computing, handoff delay and re-authentication is occurred. A mobile node needs re-authentication procedure from cloud server whenever it arrives new AP. But Using of location information of node enables to reduce delay time due to re-authentication. To reduce re-authentication delay time, proposed method stores location information of APs on WiFi based location server to complement. GPS-based technology which can't receive satellite signal in indoor and then node collects location information of AP at handoff time. And also enables to process LBS without increasing handoff delay by splitting the process of handoff from process of requesting location information. For analysis of proposed method, We analyze handoff delay and location information process time and have compared previous handoff method in cloud environment. We confirmed that proposed method shows lower delay time without increasing LBS process time than previous method because node receives location information from location information server when handoff is occurred.

본 연구에서는 수질관리 및 기후변화(온실가스 저감) 등에 부응할 수 있는 SRI 벼재배 방법을 국내 논에 적용하여 농업비점오염원과 온실가스 저감효과를 측정하고 비교하여 SRI의 환경개선효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 시험포는 대조구인 상시담수처리구(관행, 재식거리 $30{\times}15cm$)와 SRI 물관리 처리구로 조성하였다. 각 시험포에는 관개배수시설 및 관개량을 측정할 수 있는 수도계량기, 유출량 측정을 위한 플륨 및 수위계 그리고 온실가스(메탄 및 이산화질소)를 측정하기 위한 아크릴재질의 Chamber를 설치하였다. 관행 및 SRI 시험포에 이앙할 모의 재배품종으로 오대벼를 공시하고 모든 시험포의 경우 1주당 3-5본씩 기계이앙을 실시하였으며, 물관리를 제외한 시비와 제초 등의 영농관리는 동일하게 수행하였다. 메탄($CH_4$)과 아산화질소($N_2O$)는 주 2회, 오전 9시 12시에 60 mL 주사기로 주기적으로 시료를 채취하여 GC로 분석하였다. 그리고 관개기간동안 관개량, 강우량 그리고 강우 유출량을 측정하고 수질시료를 채취하여 오염부하를 산정하였다. SRI 시험포의 SS, $COD_{Cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$, BOD, TN, TP의 총 오염부하량은 각각 583 kg/ha, 210.8 kg/ha, 70.1 kg/ha, 30.7 kg/ha, 56.1 kg/ha, 3.55 kg/ha로서 관행 시험포의 오염부하량에 비해 27.1~46.0%의 오염물질 저감 효과를 보였다. 그리고 각 시험포별 온실가스 메탄과 아산화질소의 총 배출량을 지구온난화잠재력(GWP)으로 환산하여 이산화탄소($CO_2$) 기준으로 산정한 결과, 관행은 14.2 톤/ha 그리고 SRI 물관리 처리구 4.0 톤/ha로 관행 대비 SRI 처리구에서 71.8%의 온실가스 감축효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 SRI 벼재배기술은 논 비점오염부하 및 온실가스 저감을 위한 효과적인 최적영농관리방법인 것으로 판단된다.
