In this paper, the network performance of a turbo coded optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system with cross-layer, which is between physical and network layers, concept is analyzed and simulated. We consider physical and MAC layers in a cross-layer concept. An intensity-modulated/direct-detection (IM/DD) optical system employing pulse position modulation (PPM) is considered. In order to increase the system performance, turbo codes composed of parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCCs) is utilized. The network performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability (BEP). From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity. Also, it is confirmed that the performance of such an optical CDMA network can be substantially improved by increasing e interleaver length and e number of iterations in e decoding process. The results of this paper can be applied to implement the indoor optical wireless LANs.

Feathers, which are almost pure keratin protein, are produced in large amounts as a waste by-product at poultry-processing plants. Keratinolytic enzymes may have important uses in biotechnological processes involving keratin-containing wastes from poultry and leather processes. In this study, screening and identification of keratin-degrading bacteria were investigated. Five keratin-degrading bacterial strains (F3-1, F3-4, F7-1, C1-1, C1-2) were isolated from compost and decayed chicken feather. On the basis of morphological, physiological studies, and Biolog system, all isolates were identified as the genus Bacillus. Among them, the strain F7-1 had the highest feather-degrading activity and was selected for further taxonomical study. Phylogenetic analysis of strain F7-1 based on comparison of 165 rDNA sequences revealed that this strain is closely related to Bacillus megaterium.

자연하천의 주요한 특징 중 하나인 하천의 사행은 직선수로에서 예측되는 유속분포를 왜곡시키며 매우 복잡한 흐름구조를 형성한다. 이는 하상 경계면에서 발생하는 전단응력 분포의 변화를 야기하는데 하상 경계면에서의 전단응력은 다양한 경험적 관계에 의존하는 유사이동의 한계 소류력 산정 및 오염물질 거동해석의 분산계수 산정에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 물리적인 관측을 통한 하상 경계면에서의 전단응력의 관측은 다소 제한적이며 많은 비용을 요구한다. 따라서 하상 경계면에서 발생하는 전단응력의 경우 수심의 20% 이하의 연직 유속분포를 벽법칙에 적용하여 추정하는 방법이 주로 이루어지고 있다. 벽법칙을 이용한 하상 경계면의 전단응력을 계산하는 경우 대수중복층의 유속 분포 $u/u^*=(1/{\kappa})ln(zu^*/{\nu})+B$에서 무차원상수 ${\kappa}$와 B의 적절한 추정이 요구되어 진다. 일반적으로 무차원상수 ${\kappa}$와 B는 수리학적으로 매끄러운 벽면에서 대략 ${\kappa}=0.4$, B=5.5로서 경험적으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 직선수로 및 다양한 사행수로의 3차원 흐름장 모의를 수행하여 벽법칙의 대수 중복층을 따르는 주흐름 방향 유속의 연직분포를 비교하였다. 수치모의 소프트웨어로서 Linux 기반의 OpenFOAM이 사용되었으며 모델의 검증을 위해 Chang(1971)에 의해 수행 된 사행수로에서의 유속장 관측 결과와 비교하였고 수치모의 결과가 실험 관측치와 잘 일치하는 것으로 판단되었다. 수치모의에 적용 된 사행수로의 형상은 Hey(1976)에 의해 제안 된 사행하천의 지형학적 인자들 간에 관계를 이용하여 사행도 1.03에서 2.42까지 총 7개의 사행수로 지형을 생성하였다. 사행도의 변화에 따라 만곡부 정점에서 대수중복층 구간의 주흐름 방향 유속의 연직분포를 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 생성 된 모든 사행수로에서 대수중복층 구간의 무차원 유속 $u^+$와 무차원 거리 $z^+$가 로그 분포를 따르는 것으로 나타났으나 경험적으로 사용되었던 무차원상수 B의 경우 사행도가 증가 할수록 대수적으로 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 관계가 무차원 상수 B값에 미치는 영향을 반영하여 수리학적으로 매끄러운 벽면에서 적용이 가능한 수정된 대수중복층 식을 제시하고자 한다.

수제는 유수에 의한 하안 침식을 방지하기 위한 목적의 수공구조물이다. 최근에는 하천복원 및 생태계복원에 대한 관심이 증가되면서, 하안 침식 방지뿐만 아니라 수제에 의한 흐름분리 및 재순환영역의 생태 서식처 제공에 대한 역할이 부각되고 있다. 따라서 수제 설계 시, 수제 설치에 따른 수리특성 변화를 미리 파악하는 것이 필요하지만, 수제 간격, 설치 방향, 수제 높이, 수제 길이, 하도 특성 및 접근 유수 특성 등 다양한 인자에 의해 수리특성 변화를 예측하기란 쉽지 않으며, 비용과 시 공간 측면에서 물리 모형을 이용한 접근법도 용이하지 못하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 수제 설치에 따른 흐름특성 변화를 모의하고, 모형의 적용성을 판별하고자 하였다. 지배 방정식은 기본적으로 천수방정식을 적용하게 되는데, 수제 주변 흐름 특성은 난류에 의한 횡방향 확산이 중요한 인자로작용하게 된다. 상수 와점성(constant eddy viscosity) 모형, 포물선형 와점성 (parabolic eddy viscosity) 모형을통해 개발 모형의예측 결과와 실험수로 결과를 비교하였다. 수제하류의 재순환영역의 길이가 실험수로의 결과에 비해서 5~6 배까지 확대된 결과를 나타내고 있어, 만족할 만한 결과를 현재까지 얻지 못하였다. 횡방향 확산이 중요한 만큼 k-$\varepsilon$ 모형 등 다양한 난류 모형의 적용이 고려되어질 필요가 있으며, 또한 1차원 요소가 아닌 2차원 요소의 적용을 고려할 필요도 있다.

In order to suggest performance analysis directions of ecological components based on a vegetation-based LID system model, this study seeks to analyze the statistical significance between monitoring results by using SWMM computer simulation and rainfall and run-off simulation devices and provide basic data required for a preliminary system design. Also, the study aims to comprehensively review a vegetation-based LID system's soil, a vegetation model, and analysis plans, which were less addressed in previous studies, and suggest a performance quantification direction that could act as a substitute device-type LID system. After monitoring artificial rainfall for 40 minutes, the test group zone and the control group zone recorded maximum rainfall intensity of 142.91mm/hr. (n=3, sd=0.34) and 142.24mm/hr. (n=3, sd=0.90), respectively. Compared to a hyetograph, low rainfall intensity was re-produced in 10-minute and 50-minute sections, and high rainfall intensity was confirmed in 20-minute, 30-minute, and 40-minute sections. As for rainwater run-off delay effects, run-off intensity in the test group zone was reduced by 79.8% as it recorded 0.46mm/min at the 50-minute point when the run-off intensity was highest in the control group zone. In the case of computer simulation, run-off intensity in the test group zone was reduced by 99.1% as it recorded 0.05mm/min at the 50-minute point when the run-off intensity was highest. The maximum rainfall run-off intensity in the test group zone (Dv=30.35, NSE=0.36) recorded 0.77mm/min and 1.06mm/min in artificial rainfall monitoring and SWMM computer simulation, respectively, at the 70-minute point in both cases. Likewise, the control group zone (Dv=17.27, NSE=0.78) recorded 2.26mm/min and 2.38mm/min, respectively, at the 50-minutes point. Through statistical assessing the significance between the rainfall & run-off simulating systems and the SWMM computer simulations, this study was able to suggest a preliminary design direction for the rainwater run-off reduction performance of the LID system applied with single vegetation. Also, by comprehensively examining the LID system's soil and vegetation models, and analysis methods, this study was able to compile parameter quantification plans for vegetation and soil sectors that can be aligned with a preliminary design. However, physical variables were caused by the use of a single vegetation-based LID system, and follow-up studies are required on algorithms for calibrating the statistical significance between monitoring and computer simulation results.

In a modern smart building, sensors can detect various physical conditions, such as temperature, humidity, sound, motion, and light, which can be used in medical services and security, and for energy savings. This paper presents an efficient elevator scheduling system that utilizes smart sensor technologies with radio-frequency identification, video, and floor sensors to detect the arrival of elevator users in advance. The detected information is then delivered to the elevator scheduling system via building networks. By using this information, the proposed system makes a reservation call for efficient control of the elevator's direction and time. Experiments under a spectrum of traffic conditions show that the proposed system performs better than a legacy system with respect to average wait time, maximum wait time, and energy consumption.

Purpose : To develop a theoretical model for magnetic relaxation behavior of the superparamagnetic nano-particle agent, which demonstrates multi-functionality such as liver- and lymp node-specificity. Based on the developed model, the computer simulation was performed to clarify the relationship between relaxation time and the applied magnetic field strength. Materials and Methods : The ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) was encapsulated with biocompatiable polymer, to develop a relaxation model based on outsphere mechanism, which was resulting from diffusion and/or electron spin fluctuation. In addition, Brillouin function was introduced to describe the full magnetization by considering the fact that the low-field approximation, which was adapted in paramagnetic case, is no longer valid. The developed model describes therefore the T1 and T2 relaxation behavior of superparamagnetic iron oxide both in low-field and in high-field. Based on our model, the computer simulation was performed to test the relaxation behavior of superparamagnetic contrast agent over various magnetic fields using MathCad (MathCad, U.S.A.), a symbolic computation software. Results : For T1 and T2 magnetic relaxation characteristics of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide, the theoretical model showed that at low field (<1.0 Mhz), $\tau_{S1}(\tau_{S2}$, in case of T2), which is a correlation time in spectral density function, plays a major role. This suggests that realignment of nano-magnetic particles is most important at low magnetic field. On the other hand, at high field, $\tau$, which is another correlation time in spectral density function, plays a major role. Since $\tau$ is closely related to particle size, this suggests that the difference in R1 and R2 over particle sizes, at high field, is resulting not from the realignment of particles but from the particle size itself. Within normal body temperature region, the temperature dependence of T1 and T2 relaxation time showed that there is no change in T1 and T2 relaxation times at high field. Especially, T1 showed less temperature dependence compared to T2. Conclusion : We developed a theoretical model of r magnetic relaxation behavior of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO), which was reported to show clinical multi-functionality by utilizing physical properties of nano-magnetic particle. In addition, based on the developed model, the computer simulation was performed to investigate the relationship between relaxation time of USPIO and the applied magnetic field strength.

MEMS-based storage is being developed as a new storage media. Due to its attractive features such as high-bandwidth, low-power consumption, high-density, and low cost, MEMS storage is anticipated to be used for a wide range of applications from storage for small handhold devices to high capacity mass storage servers. However, MEMS storage has vastly different physical characteristics compared to a traditional disk. First, MEMS storage has thousands of heads that can be activated simultaneously. Second, the media of MEMS storage is a square structure which is different from the platter structure of disks. This paper presents a new request scheduling algorithm for MEMS storage that makes use of the aforementioned characteristics. This new algorithm considers the parallelism of MEMS storage as well as the seek time of requests on the two dimensional square structure. We then extend this algorithm to consider the aging factor so that starvation resistance is improved. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithms improve the performance of MEMS storage by up to 39.2% in terms of the average response time and 62.4% in terms of starvation resistance compared to the widely acknowledged SPTF (Shortest Positioning Time First) algorithm.

Lead is a very useful material in shielding radiation in hospitals. But lead is toxic. Therefore, there are many studies on substitutable materials, Typically, there are many studies using tungsten. In this study, we investigated the physical properties of lead and tungsten and the Half value layer. As a result, lead having higher atomic number showed higher cross - sectional area than tungsten. But, at the same size, the electron density of tungsten with a high density is about 1.7 times higher than that of lead. In MCNPX simulation, the shielding effect of tungsten is about 1.4 times higher than that of lead, It was confirmed that tungsten had better shielding efficiency than lead. However, considering the economic aspect, tungsten is a rare metal, which is about 25 times more expensive than lead, which is considered to be inappropriate as an alternative to lead.

대부분의 임베디드 시스템은 기계장치와 전자기기 장치가 함께 작동되는 물리 장치로써, 이기종 네트워크, 복잡한 보안체계 등을 고려하여 가상화 기반 사이버훈련 환경이 구성되어야 한다. 또한, 차량을 대상으로 물리적인 실험환경에서 모의침투 등 사이버훈련을 수행한다는 것은 교통사고를 비롯한 안전사고 발생에 있어 위험이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 가상 개발환경에서의 공격 기반 차량용 사이버훈련 프레임워크를 제안하고자 한다. 먼저, 공격 기반 차량용 사이버훈련 프레임워크의 작동은 자동 활성화되는 가상의 CAN 네트워크 인터페이스로 시작된다. 가상의 CAN 네트워크 인터페이스는 가상 머신에서 간단한 부트스트랩 명령어 실행을 통해 파이썬 패키지와 Ubuntu 서비스 목록 설치 명령이 자동으로 실행되면서 설치된다. 이후 내부 네트워크 시뮬레이터와 공격모듈과 관련된 UI가 자동으로 Ubuntu Systemd에 의해 백그라운드에서 실행되어 시작과 동시에 준비 상태를 유지하게 된다. 사이버훈련 UI 내 공격 모듈은 사용자에 의한 공격 선택 및 파라미터 셋팅 이후 차량의 이상 상태를 사이버훈련 UI에 다시 출력되게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 가상 개발환경 기반의 차량용 사이버훈련 프레임워크는 자율주행 차량 사고의 위험이나 다른 특수한 제약 없이 사용자의 학습 경험을 확장시킬 수 있다. 또한, 기존의 가상화 기반 사이버훈련 교육 콘텐츠와는 달리 일반 사용자들이 접근하기 쉬운 형태로 확장 개발이 가능하다.
