Indoor-positioning systems are useful to various applications. Navigation system is one of the most popular applications, which needs the information of directions of nodes' movements. Specifically the applications should get the information in real-time to properly show the current moving position of a node. In this paper, simple vector-based algorithms are proposed to compute amount and direction of changes of azimuth of mobile nodes' heading directions using existing indoor positioning systems in indoor environments where azimuth sensors do not work properly. Previous algorithms calculate the azimuth changes by too many steps of topology-based formula. The algorithms proposed in this paper get the amount of changes of azimuth by simple formula based on vector, and determine the direction of changes by the sign of value of simple formula based on the previous movement of nodes. The algorithms are much simpler and less error-prone than previous ones, and then they can detect changes in many location-based applications as well. The performance of the algorithms is proved logically and mathematically.

In this paper, we propose the calibration method of monopulse slope to minimize the variation of angle estimate in frequency agile noncoherent monopulse system. We analyze the monopulse slope characteristics of antenna and RF receiver including the phase and gain imbalances of each receiving channel and present the calibration method to minimize the phase and gain imbalances of RF receiver channels including antenna. In addition, we present the calibration method using channel switching to minimize the gain imbalance of IF receiver channels. The measured average monopulse slope within the frequency bandwidth is -0.96, the maximum variation of angle estimate is similar to theoretical value, $0.15^{\circ}$ at ${\pm}2^{\circ}$ azimuth and $0.03^{\circ}$ at $0^{\circ}$ azimuth.

Recently, the point of view about housing environment in the city has changed from the traditional point of view of the center of housing to the subject of land- utilization-control for interaction of buildings. Right of light is the center of this issue in other words. Also many interests about the beauties of the city have increasing centering around Europe etc. This is to change a city design into the characteristic design from the exiting uniform design. As if reflect this situation, recently we are setting up the night illumination and constructing a building which acted as Land Mark like the Jong-Ro Tower. And Apartment Housing was being built various form deviate from a existing standardized form and skyline. Existing studies about sunshine of Apartment Housing have dealt with just about a standardized Apartment Housing form. So this study analyzed a recently increasing interest for Right of light and change of sunshine environment on Apartment Housing which have a various skyline form.

We developed a S/W system to simulate the orbit tracking data as nearly equal as the real data obtained at the tracking antenna by modeling various causes that could have effects on the tracking data (range, range rate, azimuth, elevation) of an artificial satellite. Using the S/W developed we produced delay values of tracking data due to the light-time effect and the terrestrial atmosphere. According to the simulation results due to the Earth atmosphere, the values delayed by the troposhpere were increased as the temperature, relative humidity, and pressure of the troposphere are more larger. However, delay values due to the ionosphere were dependent on both the maximum electron density and the frequencies used. They are more and more increased as the maximum electron density and frequency are more larger. And the delaying values by the light-time effect are more larger by the fast orbital motion as the altitude of an artificial satellite is more lower.

The purpose of this study is to measure the (air dose rate of radiation dose) the discharged patient who was administrated high dose $^{131}I$ treatment, and to predict exposure radiation dose in public person. The dosimetric evaluation was performed according to the distance and angle using three copper rings in 30 patients who were treated with over 200mCi high dose Iodine therapy. The two observer were measured using a GM surverymeter with 8 point azimuth angle and three difference distance 50, 100, 150cm for precise radion dose measurement. We set up three predictive simulations to calculate the exposure dose based on this data. The most highest radiation dose rate was showed measuring angle $0^{\circ}$ at the height of 1m. The each distance average dose rate was used the azimuth angle average value of radiation dose rate. The maximum values of the external radiation dose rate depending on the distance were $214{\pm}16.5$, $59{\pm}9.1$ and $38{\pm}5.8{\mu}Sv/h$ at 50, 100, 150cm, respectively. If high dose Iodine treatment patient moves 5 hours using public transportation, an unspecified person in a side seat at 50cm is exposed 1.14 mSv radiation dose. A person who cares for 4days at a distance of 1 meter from a patient wearing a urine bag receives a maximum radiation dose of 6.5mSv. The maximum dose of radiation that a guardian can receive is 1.08mSv at a distance of 1.5m for 7days. The annual radiation dose limit is exceeded in a short time when applied the our developed radiation dose predictive modeling on the general public person who was around the patients with Iodine therapy. This study can be helpful in suggesting a reasonable guideline of the general public person protection system after discharge of high dose Iodine administered patients.

In this paper proposes a novel tacking algorithm regarding the power loss when operating a tracking system for a rapidly changing insolation to improve the power of PV hacking system. The tracking system of sensor method used in a conventional PV power station is unable to exactly track a sun position when lacking in the intensity of radiation and has the problem is malfunction of tracking system by a rapidly changing climatic. The tracking system of program method spends too much energy on the unnecessary operation of tracking system because that is unable to adapt itself to a outside factor of climatic environment. In case of tracking an azimuth and altitude of the sun in realtime, therefore, the actual PV power is less increasing than the power of tracking system fixed a specific position. To reduce the power loss, this pap proposes a novel control algorithm of the tracking system. Also, this paper is analyzed efficiency of traditional solar tracking method and proposed method, prove validity of proposed algorithm through demonstrable study.

Indoor localization based on visible-light communication using the received signal strength intensity (RSSI) has been widely studied because of its high accuracy compared with other wireless localization methods. However, because the RSSI can vary according to the inclination and azimuth of the receiver, a large error can occur, even at the same position. In this paper, we propose a visible-light communication-based 3-D indoor positioning algorithm using the Gauss-Newton technique in order to reduce the errors caused by the change in the inclination of the receiver. The proposed system reduces the amount of computations by selecting the initial position of the receiver through the linear least-squares method (LSM), which is applied to the RSSIs, and improves the position accuracy by applying the Gauss-Newton technique to the 3-D nonlinear model that contains the RSSIs acquired by the changes in the azimuth and inclination of the receiver. In order to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm in an indoor space with dimensions of $6{\times}6{\times}3m$ where 16 LED lights are installed, we compare and analyze the errors of the conventional linear LSM-based trilateration technique and the proposed algorithm according to the changes in the inclination and azimuth of the receiver. The experimental results show that the location accuracy of the proposed algorithm is improved by 82.5% compared to the conventional LSM-based trilateration technique.

최근 위성영상의 해상도가 증가함에 따라, 하천을 대상으로 한 연구 사례가 많이 보고되고 있다. 하지만 대부분이 환경 생태학적 분야에서 이루어진 연구 결과들이고, 수자원 관리 분야에서의 위성영상 활용 사례는 아직 그 예를 찾아보기가 어렵다. 갑천은 1988년 이후 급속도로 도시화가 진행되어 현재는 잘 정비되어 있는 전형적인 도시하천의 모습을 갖추고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 하천 내에는 많은 양의 초지나 사주가 분포하고 있으며, 이러한 초지나 사주의 존재는 자연형 하천으로서의 역할을 담당하지만 이수 및 치수차원에서는 많은 양의 저수량 손실을 야기하는 문제도 함께 공존해 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시하천을 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 방안으로서 영상을 이용한 수자원 관리 기법을 제안하였다. 다시 말해 본 연구에서 수행한 "도시하천에서의 저수량 평가"는 보와 보사이의 흐름에 의한 유량변화가 전체 저수량에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다는 가정 하에 다음의 세 단계로 이루어진다. 첫째, 현하천을 사주구역, 초지구역 및 그 외 구역으로 구분한다. 둘째, 현장조사를 실시하여 사주나 초지가 수면과 이루는 경사각을 조사하고, 적절한 통계적 기법을 이용하여 대상 하천의 대표 경사 값을 구한다. 또한 현장조사 시 사주나 초지로부터 충분히 떨어진 지점들의 수심을 측량하여 그 외 지역의 평균 수심을 구한다. 셋째, 영상을 해석할 수 있는 도구를 이용하여 구분된 각 구역의 면적을 계산한 후, 두 번째 단계에서 구한 경사각과 수심을 이용하여 저수량을 산정한다. 본 연구에서는 도시하천을 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 방안으로서 영상을 이용한 수자원 관리 기법을 제안하였다. 특히 도시하천에서의 저수량 산정을 위한 기초연구로서 사주 및 초지가 수면과 이루는 방위별 경사각을 조사하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 사주와 초지 각각의 경우에 대한 거리와 수심 간의 회귀곡선식을 구하였다. 하지만 세 번째 단계인 "저수량 산정"은 영상의 확보가 어려워, 본 연구에서는 수행되지 못하였다. 향후, 대상지역 뿐만 아니라 전국 어느 곳이라도, 하루빨리 고해상도의 위성영상이 저가에 보급되어 지기를 기대한다.

In solar generation, the PV array's azimuth is headed due south and the tilt is generally $33^{\circ}$ in order to acquire maximum generation. However, when installed in a site where there are buildings or other facilities, the azimuth and tilt are adjusted. Yet, when the azimuth and tilt are deviated from due south and $33^{\circ}$, the generation quantity is decreased substantially and currently a method to estimate the decreasing proportion is unavailable. Therefore, in this thesis, an equation on the "change ratio of solar radiation due to the changes in tilt and azimuth" was deduced by utilizing empirical data on the amount of solar radiation received according to the changes of tilt and azimuth and Interpolation. By using this equation, the decreasing proportion of generating quantity due to the installation methods of PV system can be estimated, therefore, it can be usefully utilized when designing and going through feasibility studies for development of solar generation systems.
