Network coding was proposed to increase the achievable throughput of multicast in a network. Recently, combining network coding into user cooperation has attracted research attention. For cooperative transmission schemes with network coding, users combine their own and their partners messages by network coding. In previous works, it was shown that adaptive DF with network coding can achieve diversity gain and additional throughput gain. In this paper, to improve performance of conventional protocols and maximize advantage of using network coding, we propose a new network coding based user cooperation scheme which uses adaptively amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward according to interuser channel status. We derive outage probability bound of proposed scheme and prove that it has full diversity order in the high SNR regime. Moreover, based on the outage bound, we compute optimal power allocation for the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we implemented a system to measure respiration rate with nonrestraint sensors comfortable for people to do their everyday life. The proposed system consists of a pad covered with a Piezoelectric sensor, a respiration measuring device able to send the signal data after amplifying and filtering the source signals to the viewer, a viewer providing sensor data visualization and implementing the respiration measuring algorithm. The algorithm is based on a breathing cycle with the local peak points extracted from threshold on sensor data. Respiration measurements on 3 subjects were performed by changing moving averages and thresholds. The proposed system showed less than 5% error rate when proper moving averages are N=50~60 and a range of thresholds is 800~1300. The system will contribute to preventing suffocation during sleep for infants and the elderly living alone.

The purpose of this study is to implement a machine learning language model that learns literary texts. Literary texts have an important characteristic that pairs of question-and-answer are not frequently clearly distinguished. Also, literary texts consist of pronouns, figurative expressions, soliloquies, etc. They hinder the necessity of machine learning using literary texts by making it difficult to learn algorithms. Algorithms that learn literary texts can show more human-friendly interactions than algorithms that learn general sentences. For this goal, this paper proposes three text correction tasks that must be preceded in researches using literary texts for machine learning language model: pronoun processing, dialogue pair expansion, and data amplification. Learning data for artificial intelligence should have clear meanings to facilitate machine learning and to ensure high effectiveness. The introduction of special genres of texts such as literature into natural language processing research is expected not only to expand the learning area of machine learning, but to show a new language learning method.

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.

On November 15, 2017, a unpredictable liquefaction damage was occurred at the $M_L=5.4$ Pohang earthquake and after, many researches have been conducted in Korea. In Korea, where there were no cases of earthquake damage, it has been extremely neglectable in preparing earthquake risk maps and building earthquake systems that corresponded to prevention and preparation. Since it is almost impossible to observe signs and symptoms of drought, floods, and typhoons in advance, it is very effective to predict the impacts and magnitudes of seismic events. In this study, 14,040 borehole data were collected in the metropolitan area and liquefaction evaluation was performed using the amplification factor. Based on this data, liquefaction hazard maps were prepared for ground accelerations of 0.06 g, 0.14 g, 0.22 g, and 0.30 g, including 200years return period to 4,800years return period. Also, the correlation analysis between the earthquake acceleration and LPI was carried out to draw a real-time predictable liquefaction hazard map. As a result, 707 correlation equations in every cells in GIS map were proposed. Finally, the simulation for liquefaction risk mapping against artificial earthquake was performed in the metropolitan area using the proposed correlation equations.

The proposed measurement sensor module is a scintillator + photomultiplier(SiPM) sensor optimization structure design, amplification and filter and control circuit design for sensor driver, control circuit design including short-distance communication, sensor mechanism design and manufacturing, and GUI development applied to prototypes consists of, etc. The scintillator + photomultiplier(SiPM) sensor optimization structure design is designed by checking the characteristics of the scintillator and the photomultiplier (SiPM) for the sensor structure design. Amplification, filter and control circuit design for sensor driver is designed to process fine scintillation signal generated by radiation with a scintillator using SiPM. Control circuit design including short-distance communication is designed to enable data transmission through MCU design to support short-range wireless communication function and wired communication support. The sensor mechanism design and manufacture is designed so that the glare generated by wrapping a reflective paper (mirroring) on the outside of the plastic scintillator is reflected to increase the efficiency in order to transmit the fine scintillation signal generated from the plastic scintillator to the photomultiplier(SiPM). The GUI development applied to the prototype expresses the date and time at the top according to each screen and allows the measurement unit and time, seconds, alarm level, communication status, battery capacity, etc. to be expressed. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, the results of experiments conducted by an authorized testing institute showed that the radiation dose measurement range was 30 𝜇Sv/h ~ 10 mSv/h, so the results are the same as the highest level among products sold commercially at domestic and foreign. In addition, it was confirmed that the measurement uncertainty of ±7.4% was measured, and normal operation was performed under the international standard ±15%.

In this study, the two horizontal shroud tidal current energy converter, which can generate power even under low flow speed conditions, was developed. In order to determine the shape of the shroud system, a three-dimensional numerical simulation test was conducted, and a 1/6 scale down model was made to perform a hydraulic model experiment. The hydraulic model experiment was performed under four flow conditions, and the flow speed, torque, and RPM were measured for each experimental case. As a result of the numerical simulation test, it was found that the flow speeds passing through the nozzle were increased by about 2~3 times in the cylinder, and when the extension ratio was 2:1, the highest flow speed was shown. In addition, it was found that the flow speeds increased 2.8 times when the diameter ratio between the nozzle and the cylinder was 1.5:1. Meanwhile, as a result of the hydraulic model experiment, it was found that when the tip speed ratio was between 1.75 and 2, the power coefficient was 0.32 to 0.34.
