The wireless transmission medium inherently broadcasts a signal to all neighbor nodes in the transmission range. Existing asynchronous MAC protocols do not provide a concrete solution for reliable broadcast in link layer. This mainly comes from that an omni-directional broadcasting causes to reduce the network performance due to the explosive collisions and contentions. This paper proposes a reliable broadcast protocol in link taller based on directional antennas, named MDB(MAC protocol for Directional Broadcasting). This protocol makes use of DAST(Directional Antennas Statement Table) information and D-MACA(Directional Multiple Access and Collision Avoidance) scheme through 4-way handshake to resolve the many collision problem wit]1 omni-directional antenna. To analyze its performance, MDB protocol is compared with IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol [9] and the protocol 2 of reference [3], in terms of the success rate of broadcast and the collision rate. As a result of performance analysis through simulation, it was confirmed that the collision rate of the MDB protocol is lower than those of IEEE 802.11 and the protocol 2 of reference [3], and that the completion rate of broadcast of MDB protocol is higher than those of IEEE 802.11 and the protocol 2 of reference [3].

충청북도 청주시 상당구 월오동 251-7번지와 251-15번지 2곳에 각각 50m³ 규모의 빗물저류조를 대상으로 2017년 7월 16일 호우사상을 적용하여 설치 전·후의 침수저감 효과를 분석하였다. 침수분석을 위해 지형자료는 국토정보플랫폼에 있는 1:25,000 자료를 활용하였으며, 모의 전 대상지역의 관망구축에 따른 지형자료를 구축하였고 관망은 노드 40개와 링크 39개로 구성하였다. SWMM 모형을 구동하여 유역내 유출량을 분석하기 위해 유역과 관련한 입력자료와 이외 유역간의 연결부인 관거 하도 입력자료 구축 및 하도와 하도를 연결하는 모델상의 Junction인 실제 맨홀과 관련한 입력자료를 구축하였다. 관거 입력자료로는 관거의 제원, 길이, 깊이 등의 자료를 수집하여 사용하였다. 빗물저류조 설치전·후의 침수저감효과를 분석하기 위해 빗물저류조 설치전의 침수양상을 모의 하였으며 각각 강우발생 후 30분, 50분, 70분, 90분, 110분, 130분 및 150분으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 강우발생 후 150분의 모의분석 결과, 침수심은 0.2<깊이<0.4의 면적이 600m²로 가장 넓은 침수분포를 나타내었으며, 총 침수면적은 2,225m²로 모의되었다. 이는 강우발생 후130분 보다 125m² 더 침수되었으며, 0.8<깊이<1.0의 면적은 150m²로 모의되었다. 전체적인 침수심도 커진 것으로 분석되었다. 빗물저류조 설치 후의 침수양상을 모의하였으며 각각 강우발생 후 30분, 50분, 70분, 90분, 110분, 130분 및 150분으로 분석하였다. 강우발생 후 150분의 모의분석 결과, 침수심은 0.2<깊이<0.4의 면적이 250m²로 가장 많은 침수분포가 나타났으며, 총 침수면적은 550m²으로 모의 되었다. 이는 강우발생 후 110분과 침수면적은 동일하게 모의 되었으며, 침수심 0.2<깊이<0.4의 면적은 250m²로 모의 되었다. 따라서 해당 지역에 50m³ 규모의 빗물저류조 2개를설치 할 경우 침수피해가 저감되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 도시내 상습침수구역에 빗물저류조를 설치하여 기후변화에 따른 극한 강우에 대비할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

A survey was conducted to investigate the conditions of meal management and the use of thickening agents for dysphagia in long-term institutions and welfare centers in Korea. The online questionnaire for the survey comprised six questions on the general characteristics of subjects, 16 on meal management, 10 on dietitians' knowledge, and 30 on dietitians' perceived performance and importance of meal management for dysphagia. The complete data from 268 questionnaires were analyzed, and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was conducted. The results of the survey indicated frequent, "difficulties due to no specific guidance on managing dysphagia meal," "lack of caregiver understanding of the importance of dysphagia meal," "lack of opportunity and time for meal education/counseling," "difficulties with management due to dietitians' lack of experience and awareness of dysphagia," and "limited understanding of cooking staff in preparing dysphagia meal." Importantly, these five parts were categorized in the low-priority region in an IPA of the performance.

Utilization of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and alkaline phosphatase (APase) activity by Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros didymus, Alexandrium tamarense and Heterosigma akashiwo under the phosphorus deficient condition were examined in the laboratory. S. costatum, C. didymus, A. tamarense and H. akashiwo could make use of phosphomonoester and nucleotide compounds for the growth of them as a phosphorus source. APase activity of S. costatum, C. didymus, A. tamarense and H. akashiwo began to be activated at dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations less than $0.30\;{\mu}M$, $0.33\;{\mu}M$, $2.04\;{\mu}M$ and $0.63\;{\mu}M$ respectively, and their maximum APase activity were $0.01\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, $0.11\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, $1.63\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$ and $0.19\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, respectively. Although each phytoplankton species displayed different APase activity for DOP utilization, their maximum APase activities were higher than maximum phosphorus uptake rates, inferring that these species might be able to keep growing under DIP-limited conditions thought utilizing effectively the hydrolized product of DOP. This result also implies that utilization of DOP might contribute to not only the growth of red tide forming phytoplankton but also the interspecific competition among phytoplankton species in coastal environments.

In this paper, we suggest an architecture of DS/CDMA tranceiver composed of one pilot channel used as reference and multiple traffic channels. The pilot channel-an unmodulated PN code-is used as the reference signal for synchronization of PN code and data demondulation. The coherent demodulation architecture is also exploited for the reverse link as well as for the forward link. Here are the characteristics of the suggested DS/CDMA system. First, we suggest an interlaced quadrature spreading(IQS) method. In this method, the PN coe for I-phase 1st channel is used for Q-phase 2nd channels and the PN code for Q-phase 1st channel is used for I-phase 2nd channel, and so on-which is quite different from the eisting spreading schemes of DS/CDMA systems, such as IS-95 digital CDMA cellular or W-CDMA for PCS. By doing IQS spreading, we can drastically reduce the zero crossing rate of the RF signals. Second, we introduce an adaptive threshold setting for the synchronization of PN code, an initial acquistion method that uses a single PN code generator and reduces the acquistion time by a half compared the existing ones, and exploit the state machines to reduce the reacquistion time Third, various kinds of functions, such as automatic frequency control(AFC), automatic level control(ALC), bit-error-rate(BER) estimator, and spectral shaping for reducing the adjacent channel interference, are introduced to improve the system performance. Fourth, we designed and implemented the DS/CDMA MODEM to be used for variable transmission rate applications-from 16Kbps to 1.024Mbps. We developed and confirmed the DS/CDMA MODEM architecture through mathematical analysis and various kind of simulations. The ASIC design was done using VHDL coding and synthesis. To cope with several different kinds of applications, we developed transmitter and receiver ASICs separately. While a single transmitter or receiver ASC contains three channels (one for the pilot and the others for the traffic channels), by combining several transmitter ASICs, we can expand the number of channels up to 64. The ASICs are now under use for implementing a line-of-sight (LOS) radio equipment.

We have proposed a new "hybrid" envelope elimination and restoration(EER) transmitter architecture using an efficiency optimized power amplifier(PA) and modified bias modulator. The efficiency of the PA at the average drain voltage is very important for the overall transmitter efficiency because the PA operates mostly at the average power region of the modulation signal. Accordingly, the efficiency of the PA has been optimized at the region. Besides, the bias modulator has been accompanied with the emitter follower for the minimization of memory effect. A saturation amplifier, class $F^{-1}$ is built using a 5-W PEP LDMOSFET for forward-link single-carrier wideband code-division multiple-access(WCDMA) at 1-GHz. For the interlock experiment, the bias modulator has been built with the efficiency of 64.16% and peak output voltage of 31.8 V. The transmitter with the proposed PA and bias modulator has been achieved an efficiency of 44.19%, an improvement of 8.11%. Besides, the output power is enhanced to 32.33 dBm due to the class F operation and the PAE is 38.28% with ACLRs of -35.9 dBc at 5-MHz offset. These results show that the proposed architecture is a very good candidate for the linear and efficient high power transmitter.
