Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of sensor nodes and a base station. The sensor nodes deploy a non-accessible area, receive critical information, and transmit it to the base station. The information received is applied to real-time monitoring, distribution, medical service, etc.. Recently, the WSN was extended to mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN). The MWSN has been applied to wild animal tracking, marine ecology, etc.. The important issues are mobility and energy consumption in MWSN. Because of the limited energy of the sensor nodes, the energy consumption for data transmission affects the lifetime of the network. Therefore, efficient data transmission from the sensor nodes to the base station is necessary for sensing data. This paper, proposes an energy consumption model using two-tier clustering in mobile sensor networks (TTCM). This method divides the entire network into two layers. The mobility problem was considered, whole energy consumption was decreased and clustering methods of recent researches were analyzed for the proposed energy consumption model. Through analysis and simulation, the proposed TTCM was found to be better than the previous clustering method in mobile sensor networks at point of the network energy efficiency.

In this study, we have developed a drone magnetic exploration system (proto-type) using a fluxgate magnetic sensor. Hardware of the system consists of a fluxgate magnetometer, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GPS, and a communication module. And we have developed monitoring software, which enables it to transmit the measured data to the ground control system (GCS) in real time. The measured magnetic data are finally saved as 1 Hz data after passing through a notch filter and a band-pass filter. For verification of this system, a preliminary test was conducted to check the magnetic responses of a magnetic object first, then the field test was carried out in two iron mines. We tested the developed system on the field test in Pocheon, Gyeonggi and Jeongseon, Gangwon. The magnetic data from the developed drone system was very similar to those from unmanned airship system developed by Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). As a result, preliminary experiment and field test have demonstrated that this system is applicable for outdoor aeromagnetic exploration. It requires more studies to improve filter function and instrument performance to minimize noise in the future.

우리 인간이 수원으로 가장 많이 이용하는 지표수의 이동 및 저장 역할을 하는 호소는 자연환경과 인간을 이어주는 중요한 매개체임은 분명하다. 그러나 최근에 경제 성장만을 위주로 발전을 추구해온 결과, 급격한 산업화에 따른 도시지역으로의 인구 집중 현상은 호소에 자연적 혹은 인위적으로 큰 영향을 주고 있다. 하천의 자정능력을 초과하여 발생하는 오염물질이 신갈 저수지로 유입되어 생태계를 파괴하고, 하천의 최종 유입지인 호소의 오염을 가중시켰다. 경기도 용인시, 화성군, 오산시 지역의 농 공업용수의 공급원으로 이용되고 있는 신갈 저수지로 유입하는 하천 역시 도시로의 인구 집중으로 인한 막대한 생활하수와 주변 지역에 조성된 공장에서 발생하는 사업장 배수의 유입으로 인해 심각하게 오염되어 신갈 저수지의 오염을 가중시키고 있다. 현재 용인시에서는 기흥 호수공원을 2010년까지 신갈 저수지 일대 118만평에 여가와 문화, 휴양시설이 연계된 대규모 유원지로 조성한다는 계획을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 신갈 저수지의 퇴적물 오염도를 조사하여 호수공원 조성 시 기초 데이터의 확충 및 현황파악을 위하여 신갈 저수지의 퇴적물에 대한 모니터링을 실시하였다. 측정 시기는 1차(2007년 7월)와 2차(2007년 10월)로 총 2회 실시하였으며, 조사 지점선정은 수역 전체의 특성을 가장 대표할 수 있는 지점(호심 또는 가장 깊은 곳 등), 주요 유입하천수가 유입된 후 충분히 혼합되는 지점, 호수가 유출되는 지점, 폐수나 하수의 유입으로 항상 오염이 인정되는 지점을 고려하여 신갈저수지의 6지점을 선정하여 조사하였다. 퇴적물 분석항목 중 VS, COD, T-N, T-P, 중금속 농도를 중심으로 신갈 저수지의 퇴적물 오염도를 조사하였다. 각 지점별 1차 퇴적물 조사 결과, VS $23.1{\sim}46.6\;g/kg$, COD $8.5{\sim}26.4\;mg/g$, T-N $0.35{\sim}1.52\;mg/g$, T-P $0.60{\sim}1.05\;mg/g$ 등의 농도로 조사되었으며, 중금속은 수은, 시안, 카드뮴은 검출되지 않았고 구리의 농도는 $0.1{\sim}0.6\;mg/kg$, 납의 농도는 $2.1{\sim}3.5\;mg/kg$로 조사되었다. 또한 각 지점별 2차 퇴적물 조사 결과, VS $22.8{\sim}41.4\;g/kg$, COD $7.9{\sim}21.5\;mg/g$, T-N $0.31{\sim}1.44\;mg/g$, T-P $0.82{\sim}1.01\;mg/g$ 등의 농도로 조사되었으며, 중금속은 수은, 시안, 카드뮴은 검출되지 않았고 구리의 농도는 $0.2{\sim}0.7\;mg/kg$, 납의 농도는 $2.4{\sim}3.8\;mg/kg$로 조사되었다. 본 연구의 조사 결과는 앞으로 호수공원이 조성되는 신갈 저수지를 효율적으로 관리함에 있어 중요한 근거자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The main purpose of this study is to find the hotspots of crimes that occur frequently in the space and to derive the appropriate CCTV installation location. One of the characteristics of crime is clustered around past occurrence area, and these crimes are strongly correlated. It is also possible to find the cause of the clusters and the variables that affect the crime through the history of the crime. In addition to the traditional OLS model, spatial differential model including spatial autocorrelation and spatial error model were used to select the variables influencing the five major crime rate, the theft rate and the foreign resident rate. The variables affecting the Five major crimes were positive (+) sign for the welfare and the rate of the bar cluster rate, and negative (-) for the street density. The CCTV area occupies 46% of the hotspots based on the overlapping of the areas where the elderly people are crowded, the bar cluster, many multicultural families, and the areas with low density of street lamps. It turned out. Taking into account the current CCTV operation, the total number of new cases to cover the risk point was 89.

Driving behaviors such as speeding and illegal u-turn which violate traffic rules are main causes of car accidents, and they can lead to serious accidents. Bus drivers are less aware of dangers of illegal u-turn, and infrastructures such as traffic enforcement equipment and watchmen are deficient. This research aims to develop technology for estimating driving behaviors based on map-matching in order to prevent illegal u-turns. For this research, 23,782 of u-turn permit data and 146,000 of speed limit data are collected nationwide, and an estimation algorithm is built with these data. Then, an application based on android is developed, and finally, tests are conducted to assess the accuracy in data computations and GPS data map-matching, and to extrapolate driving behavior. As a result of the tests, the accuracy results in the map-matching is 86% and the assessment of driving behavior is 83%, while the display of the data output yielded 100% accuracy. Additional research should focus on improvement in accuracy through the development of a robust monitoring system, and study of service scenarios for technology application.

This study was to analyze the genetic diversity of Quercus gilva Blume growing in Jeju Island for developing a preservation strategy. We examined the genetic diversity and structure using 6 ISSR primers and investigated 67 polymorphic ISSR amplicons in 80 trees distributed among five populations. The average of proportion of polymorphic loci were 93%, the average level of Shannon's information index was 0.237, and Nei's genetic diversity was 0.156. According to the analysis of the molecular variance (AMOVA), $F_{st}$ was 0.169 indicating there was a genetic variation among five populations. 17% of the total variation was allocated among the five populations, while the other 83% of the total variation was in individual trees in each population. The result could be due to the uneven number of trees among the five populations. Based on these results, the preservation strategy could be developed, for examples, considering for designation as "forest genetic resources conservation area" about the habitat, monitoring continuously, fostering the growth of seedling, ex situ preservation of genetic resources, and comparing the differences of environmental and genetic characteristic with population in ex situ.

The Alaska pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) belongs to the family Gadidae; it is a cold water fish, and has been developed as a novel aquaculture species in Korea. In this study, we describe ongoing surveillance for aquatic animal pathogens based on growth stages. We investigated bacterial flora in rearing water, and monitored pathogens; we also analyzed histopathological traits of abnormal fish. In rearing water, the total bacterial counts were $2.1{\times}10^3cfu/mL$ and Vibrio spp. (52%) were predominant in the larvae stage. In the juvenile and adult stages, the total bacterial counts were $3.4{\times}10^3$ and $3.2{\times}10^2cfu/mL$, respectively (with Pseudomonas sp. as the predominant species; 90% and 52%). This result revealed that the bacterial flora in rearing water changed depending on the feeding types. No virulent-bacteria or problematic viruses (VHSV, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus; NNV, nervous necrosis virus; MBV, marine birnavirus) were detected from outwardly healthy fish using either culture or PCR assay. Some juveniles (less than 5%) had gas bubbles on the gill lamellae, degeneration of the corneal epithelium, and choroid gland degeneration, suggesting that these symptoms were caused by external injury and secondary infection by opportunistic bacteria. Disease management is important to cope with disease emergence in the novel aquaculture species Alaska pollock.

Nowadays, short distance communication systems with low power energy (LPE) are developed for identification and monitoring of site identification of vessel crews and passengers (SIVCP). LPE communication modules, such as Bluetooth low energy (BLE) and Zigbee, are used for short distance communications with LPE. These modules enable 1:N communications and their popularity is growing since the modules can be mounted on movable objects, such as mobile devices and human body. When these modules are used, the important factor that affects their operation time and design are the capacity and size of battery. Therefore, they must be made as small as possible, and the battery should be selected to be slightly smaller than the module. In this study, we calculate the theoretical life of batteries used in SIVCP BLE modules using data sheet and discharge characteristic graph under the condition of a 1/250 transmission-ratio (TR). We thus calculate experimental life by measuring transmission current for the same TR, and low speed mode current for a 1/5000 TR and measure long-term experimental life using 1/25 TR for days. Through these experiments, we verify experimental methods for the prediction and extension of battery life that would enable us to select appropriate sizes of batteries based on vessel usage and passenger types. The selections of the module TR and battery size are important factors affecting the cost reduction of module design, the battery maintenance, and passenger convenience.
