In this paper, a new algorithm for the calculation of the range between an LTE base station (BS) and a user equipment (UE) using time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements of LTE signals is proposed. First, the cell identity (cell ID) of the received signal is acquired using the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS) to identify the BS transmitted the signal. The proposed algorithm exploits the cell-specific reference signal (CRS), the reference sequence inserted in commercial LTE signals, to estimate the time delay using 2D cross-correlation. The obtained TOA estimations can be used to calculate the range employed from the known BS location. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated with the experiment performed using real LTE signals transmitted from the commercial BS.

This paper investigates the consensus problem for linear multi-agent systems with an arbitrary network delay. The sufficient conditions for a state consensus of linear multi-agent systems are provided by using linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, it is shown that under the proposed protocol, the consensus can be achieved even in the presence of an arbitrarily large network delay. Finally, an illustrative example is given in order to show the effectiveness of our design method.

Sound localization algorithm usually adapts three step process: sampling sound signals, estimating time difference of arrival between microphones, estimate location of sound source. To apply this process in indoor environment, sound localization algorithm must be strong enough against reverberant and noisy condition. Additionally, calculation efficiency must be considered in implementing real-time sound localization system. To implement real-time robust sound localization system we adapt four low cost condenser microphones which reduce the cost and total calculation load. And to get TDOA(Time Differences of Arrival) of microphones we adapt GCC-PHAT(Generalized Cross Correlation-Phase Transform) which is robust algorithm to the reverberant and noise environment. The position of sound source was calculated by using iterative least square algorithm which produce highly accurate position data.

Various elastic wave-based site investigation methods have been used to characterize subsurface ground because the dynamic properties can be correlated with various geotechnical parameters. Although the inherent spatial variability of the geotechnical parameters affects the P-wave propagation characteristics, ground heterogeneity has not been considered as an influential factor. Thus, the effect of heterogeneous ground on the travel-time shift and wavefront characteristics of elastic waves through stochastic numerical analyses is investigated in this study. The effects of the relative correlation lengths and relative propagation distances on the travel-time shift of P-waves considering various intensities of ground heterogeneity were investigated. Heterogeneous ground fields of stiffness (e.g., the coefficient of variation = 10 ~ 40%) were repeatedly realized in numerical finite difference grids using the turning band method. Monte Carlo simulations were undertaken to simulate P-wave propagation in heterogeneous ground using a finite difference method-based numerical approach. The results show that the disturbance of the wavefront becomes more significant with stronger heterogeneity and induces travel-time delays. The relative correlation lengths and propagation distances are systematically related to the travel-time shift.

Retardation effect of heavy metals in soils caused by adsorption onto the surfaces of solids particles is well known phenomenon. In this study, we investigated the retardation effect on the mobility of a Zn in a sandy soil by conducting batch and column tests. The column test consisted of monitoring the concentrations of effluent versus time known as a breakthrough curve (BTC). We used NaCl and ZnCl$_2$ solutions with the concentration of 10 g/L as a tracer, and injected them respectively into the inlet boundary of the soil sample as a square pulse type, and monitored the effluent concentrations at the exit boundary under a steady state condition using an EC-meter and ICP-AES. The batch test was conducted based on the standard procedure of equilibrating fine fractions collected from the soil with various initial ZnCl$_2$ concentrations, and analysis of Zn ions in the equilibrated solutions using ICP-AES. The results of column test showed that i) the peak concentration of ZnCl$_2$analyzed by ICP was far less than that of either NaCl or bulk electrical conductivity and ⅱ) travel times of peak concentrations for two tracers were more less identical. The relatively low concentration of Zn can be explained by ion exchange between Zn and other cations, and possible precipitation of Zn in the form of Zn(OH)$_2$due to high pH range (7.0∼7.9) of the effluent. The identical result of travel times of peak concentrations indicates that the retardation effect is not present in the soil. The only way to describe the prominent decrease of Zn ion was to introduce decay or sink coefficient in the CDE model to account for irreversible decrease of Zn ions in the aqueous phase.

In pressurized heavy water reactors, workers who enter radiation controlled areas must submit their urine samples to health physicists after radiation work; these samples are then used to monitor internal radiation exposure from tritium intake. This procedure assumes that the samples submitted represent tritium concentration inside the body at equilibrium. According to both technical reports from the International Commission on Radiological Protection and experimental results from Canadian nuclear utilities, tritium inside the body generally reaches equilibrium concentration after approximately 2-3 hours of intake. In practice, urine samples can be submitted either before the 2 hours mark or after several hours of radiation work because of the numerous tasks that workers must perform and their frequent entries during nuclear power plant maintenance. In this paper, tritium concentration in workers' urine samples was measured as a function of time submitted after radiation work. Based on the measurement results, changes in the tritium concentration inside the body and its effect on internal dose assessment were then analyzed. As a result, it was found that tritium concentration reaches equilibrium concentration before the 2 hours mark for most workers' urine samples.

The optimal culture condition of Bacillus sp. P16 was investigated for production of an extracellular endo-splitting chitosanase. The best carbon and nitrogen sources for the chitosanase production were chitosan and tryptone, respectively. The best condition for the maximum activity was at $37^{\circ}C$ in a medium containing 0.5% powdered chitosan, 1% tryptone, and 1% NaCl(at initial pH 7.0) in a rotary shaker(200 rpm). In a jar fermenter, the culture duration shortened to $6{\sim}12$ hr for maximum activity and the enzyme activity increased about 100% compared with that of flask culture.

급격한 도시화 및 기후변화로 인한 물순환체계가 왜곡됨에 따라 자연수재해 피해가 급증하고 있어 대응방안으로 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 기법이 대두되고 있다. LID 요소 기술 중 하나인 식생저류지는 도시 유역내에서 발생하는 유출수를 저류 및 침투하여 우수유출수와 비점오염원으로 인한 오염저감 효과를 지니고 있는 LID 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 식생저류지의 우수유출수의 정량적 저감효과를 분석하기 위해 수문해석 프로그램인 K-LIDM(Korea Low Impact Development Model)을 이용하여 유역 내 식생저류지 배열과 저류용량에 따른 유출저감 효과를 분석하였다. 강우시나리오는 부산지점의 10년, 30년 발생빈도에 대하여 60분, 120분, 180분 확률강우시나리오를 선정하여 적용하였다. 모델링 분석결과 식생저류지 배치에 따라 5 ~ 15 % 이상의 유출저감효과가 산정되었으며, 식생저류지 저류용량에 따라 20 % 이상의 유출저감 효과가 산정되었다. 첨두유출 도달시간은 1.13 ~ 1.86배를 지연하는 결과가 산정되었다. 결과를 통해 식생저류지의 배열과 저류용량에 따라 유출량 저감효과와 첨두유출 도달시간에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 추후에 다른 매개변수인 식생저류지의 저류깊이, 지반의 침투능 및 유출부의 직경 등 여러 매개변수들을 고려한 연구를 수행한다면 식생저류지의 정량적 물순환 평가가 수행될것으로 사료된다.
