Once the sensor node in wireless sensor networks is installed, it usually operates without human intervention for a long time. The remote code update scheme is required because it is difficult to recall the sensor node in many situations. Therefore, studies on the reliable and efficient transport protocol for code propagation in wireless sensor networks have been increasingly done. However, by considering only the stability aspect of transmission, most of previous works ignore the consideration on the fast code propagation. This results the energy inefficiency by consuming unnecessary energy due to the slow code propagation. In this paper, in order to overcome limitation of the previous code propagation protocols, we propose a new code propagation protocol called "FCPP(Fast Code Propagation Protocol)". The FCPP aims at improving the reliability at well as performance. For this purpose, the FCPP accomplishes the fast code propagation by using the RTT-based transmission rate control and NACK suppression scheme, which provides a better the network utilization and avoids a unnecessary transmission delay. Based on the ns-2 simulation result, we prove that the FCPP Improves significantly both reliability and performance.

Small cherry specimens modified with acetic anhydride and formaldehyde vapor phase were weathered by outdoor exposure and accelerated conditioning in a climate chamber. The effects of the chemical modification were evaluated by measuring their weight percentage gains (WPG), hygroscopicity and color differences before and after weathering. The average WPGs of the 72 hour acetylated and formaldehyde-treated specimens were 8.1 and 15.7%, respectively. After outdoor exposure for more than 2 months, the acetylated specimens lost weights by only 1.5%, but the formaldehyde-treated did much more than the formers. It was revealed that acetylation reduced the hygroscopicity and discoloration of wood while formaldehyde treatment didn't. Moreover the longer is the formaldehyde treatment time the more degraded after weathering. It was concluded that the vapor-phase acetylation could be applied for improving the dimensional stability of old wooden blocks.

최근, 높은 캐리어 이동도와 유연성, 투명성의 우수한 전기적 기계적 특성을 갖는 그래핀에 관한 연구가 활발해지고 있으며 이를 기반으로 한 그래핀 field effect transistor (FET) 센서 응용 또한 관심이 커지고 있다. 작은 소자 크기, 견고한 구조, 빠른 응답속도와 CMOS 공정과의 호환성이 좋은 FET 기반의 센서의 감지 특성은 주로 전해질과 직접 접촉하는 게이트 절연체의 고유 특성에 의해 결정된다. 이러한 게이트 절연체는 일반적으로 스퍼터링, atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) 등의 진공 방법에 의해 형성되며, 이 공정 기술은 고가의 장비, 긴 공정 시간과 높은 제조비용이 요구된다. 더욱이, 위의 방식들은 소자 제작 동안에 플라즈마 발생 또는 열처리를 필요로 하게 되며 이는 그래핀 기반의 소자의 제작에 있어 큰 손상을 발생시키게 된다. 이러한 이유로 인해, 그래핀 FET 센서의 게이트 절연체의 형성에 있어 진공 증착 기술은 적절하지 않다. 본 연구에서는, 진공 증착 기술의 문제점을 극복하기 위해 sol-gel 방식을 통한 Al2O3 게이트 절연체를 갖는 그래핀 FET 센서를 제작하였다. Sol-gel 방식은 적은 비용, 공정의 단순화, 높은 처리량 뿐 아니라 소자의 대면적화 제작에 유리하다는 장점을 가지며, 또한 게이트 절연체를 증착함에 있어서 플라즈마가 발생하지 않기 때문에 그래핀 FET 제작에 쉽게 적용될 수 있다. 특히, 게이트 절연체 중 Al2O3은 우수한 화학적 안정성과 감지 특성으로 인해 본 실험에 사용하였다. 결론적으로, sol-gel 방식을 통한 Al2O3 게이트 절연체를 갖는 그래핀 FET 센서는 우수한 전기적 특성과 감지 특성 측면에서 매우 전망적이다.

In earthquake situations, broadcasting and communication services are directly linked to rapid on-site rescue and effective restoration works. Recently, a variety of base isolation devices are widely introduced on building floors to avoid critical seismic damages of telecommunication facilities. However, in buildings with long fundamental periods, those devices may have undesirable amplification of seismic responses due to resonance effect between the building floors and base isolation devices. This study performs the seismic safety evaluation of two types of base isolation devices deployed for telecommunication facilities in mid- and high-rise buildings through numerical and experimental approaches. It is found that mid- and high-rise buildings can have low-frequency dynamic responses at the top floor when being subjected to design basis earthquake loading. Furthermore, bi-directional shake table testing demonstrated that the selected base isolation devices can exhibit unstable dynamic behaviors under such low-frequency excitations of the floor.

최근 국내 하천과 호수에서 수온상승 및 기후변화로 인한 녹조발생이 빈번하게 나타남에 따라 녹조발생원인과 예측에 대한 중요성이 빠르게 인식되어가고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보 구간의 연직 수온분포를 분석하고, 측정된 수온분포와 유해 남조류 세포수를 바탕으로 수체안정화도와 남조류의 발생을 비교하였다. 낙동강수계의 8개보를 선정하여 2015년 1월부터 2016년 12월까지 주 1회, 수심 1m 간격으로 측정한 수온을 분석했으며, 유해 남조류 세포수는 환경부 조류경보제 및 수질예보제에서 측정한 자료를 사용하였다. 수온 모니터링 분석 결과 2015년과 2016년 모두 5월 이후 수온성층이 형성되었고, 8월에 비교적 강한 수온성층이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 칠곡보와 강정고령보에서 상대적으로 뚜렷하게 나타났는데 이는 수심이 깊고 체류시간이 긴 지형적 특성에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 형성된 수온성층은 안정된 상태로 지속되지 않고 주로 강우 시에 상 하층간의 수온구배가 줄어들어 혼합되는 전도현상이 관찰되었다. 수체안정화도 산정 결과 역시 2015년, 2016년 모두 수온성층 결과와 비슷하게 5월에 수체안정화도가 급증하다 9월 이후에 크게 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, index별로 Schmidt stability, Bouyancy Frequency 항목에서 이러한 경향이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 또한 5월 이후 수체안정화도가 증가하는 시기에 남조류 세포수의 현존량도 증가하는 것으로 관찰되어 남조류의 발생과 수체안정화도의 증가는 시기적으로 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 수체안정화도와 남조류 세포수와의 상관성은 2016년이 높았으며 그중 강정고령보에서 상관계수가 Schmidt stability는 0.78, Bouyancy frequency는 0.65로 높은 상관성을 나타내었다. 하지만 2015년의 경우 9월 이후 수체안정화도와 수온이 감소하였지만 남조류 세포수는 증가하여 경향이 일치하지 않는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 저수온성의 남조류가 우점했기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 향후 조류 발생 및 예측 등을 효과적으로 재현하는데 있어 자료로 활용하기 위해서는 지속적인 수질 모니터링 및 기상인자 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the feasibility of a single-stage thermophilic aerobic process for the treatment of high-strength food wastewater produced from the recycling process of food wastes was examined to substitute anaerobic digestion process. Also, the removal and stability of thermophilic aerobic process were assessed according to the changes of hydraulic retention times (HRTs) and organic loading rates (OLRs). When the OLR increased from 9.2 to $37.2kgCOD/m^3d$, a pH value in R1 (HRT : 5 d) significantly decreased to 5.0, due to the organic acid accumulation. On the other hand, the pH value in R2 (HRT : 10 d) was stable and R2 showed the high removal of COD, organic acid and lipid, even though the OLR increased from 4.6 to $18.6kgCOD/m^3d$. In R1, the COD loading rates for COD removal was suddenly dropped, as the COD loading rate increased from 18.6 to $28.4kgCOD/m^3d$. In contrast, R2 showed that the COD loading rates for COD removal increased with regard to increment in the loading rates of 3.61, 7.05, 9.43 and $12.2kgCOD/m^3d$, indicative of the high COD removal efficiency. Therefore, the results demonstrated that over 10-d HRT, the high concentration of raw food wastewater was efficiently treated in the single-stage thermophilic aerobic process.

The chemical and mechanical characteristics of a new surface modifier, dichlorodimethysilane (DDMS, $(CH_3)_3SiCl_2$), for stiction-free polysilicon surfaces are reported. The main strategy is to replace the conventional monoalkyltrichlorosilane(MTS, $RSiCl_3$) such as octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS) or 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) with dialkyldichlorosilane (DDS, $R_2SiCl_2$) with twit short chains, especially DDMS. DDMS, with shorter chains in aprotic media, rapidly deposits on the chemically oxidized polysilicon surface at room temperature and successfully prevents long cantilevers of 3 mm in length from in-use as well as release stiction. DDMS-modified polysilicon surfaces exhibit satisfactory hydrophobicity, long term stability and thermal stability, which are comparable to those of FDTS. DDMS as an alternative to FDTS and ODTS provides a few valuable advantages; ease in handling and long-term storage in solution, low temperature-dependence and low cost. In addition to the new modifier molecule, the simplified process of direct release right after washing the modified surface with isooctane was proposed to cut the processing time.

A number of carbonyl compounds including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are well known for their toxicity and irritancy. Hence, acquisition of both qualitative and quantitative tool for their analysis is essential to resolve issues associated with malodor or indoor pollution. Using HPLC/UV method, we examined various aspects involved in the measurements of formaldehyde in environmental samples. The results of our analysis indicated that its detection was made as low as 0.5 ppb (assuming 5 L of sample volume), while its precision was maintained near 2% in terms of relative standard error (RSE). When the stability of calibration was checked by variability of slope values obtained over long-term period (e.g., one month), its values were found to remain constantly with RSE values of 3%. It was also found that liquid-phase reaction between formaldehyde and DNPH proceed very slowly to attain equilibrium (one and half hour), while requiring adequate amount of DNPH to form their derivatives. The overall results of our study thus suggest that there are a number of factors to consider for the accurate analysis of formaldehyde in ambient air.

In this paper, we propose a new active queue management (AQM) scheme by utilizing the predictability of the Internet traffic. The proposed scheme predicts future traffic input rate by using the auto-regressive (AR) time series model and determines the future congestion level by comparing the predicted input rate with the service rate. If the congestion is expected, the packet drop probability is dynamically adjusted to avoid the anticipated congestion level. Unlike the previous AQM schemes which use the queue length variation as the congestion measure, the proposed scheme uses the variation of the traffic input rate as the congestion measure. By predicting the network congestion level, the proposed scheme can adapt more rapidly to the changing network condition and stabilize the average queue length and its variation even if the traffic input level varies widely. Through ns-2 simulation study in varying network environments, we compare the performance among RED, Adaptive RED (ARED), REM, Predicted AQM (PAQM) and the proposed scheme in terms of average queue length and packet drop rate, and show that the proposed scheme is more adaptive to the varying network conditions and has shorter response time.
