In this study, carrot juice was treated with high voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) and the changes in its physical and chemical properties during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The sterility fur bacteria, yeast and mold in carrot juice increased with increasing electric field strength and treatment temperature. While yeast and mold were completely inactivated at 65kV/cm with a treatment time of $200{\mu}s$ in a continuous PEF treatment system, bacteria were reduced by four log cycles. The results also showed that square wave pulse treatment was more effective for inactivating microorganisms than exponential decay pulse, and this effect was more apparent for carrot juice of lower pH. Although we observed significant changes in physical and chemical properties such as soluble solid content, pH, acidity, color, and carotene retention when the PEF treated samples were stored at the ambient temperature $(20^{\circ}C)$, no significant physical and chemical changes were found at the cold storage temperature $(4^{\circ}C)$ during 28 days of storage. The results indicate that the PEF treated carrot juice is appropriate for commercial refrigerated storage.

There are still lots of areas where combined sewer pipes are covering in Seoul. All buildings within those areas are equipping septic tanks which take part in separating solids from flushing water of chamber pots. Septic tanks legally demand emptying and cleaning the those inner bodies once a year, resulting the generation of sludge which should be purified using the specified treatment plants as one of environmental infrastructures. Previous research showed that sludge volume continuously increase putting night soil treatment facilities in shortage by 3,549kL a day in 2020, which should be prepared by newly built facilities. This study aimed to define which process is more suitable especially in the points of cost and energy consumption. It was the main results that combining treatment of sewer with night soil, in fact same as nowaday process, is the very positive way beyond the treatment of night soil's own in respects of both costs and energy consumption.

본 논문은 분산, 독립적인 다수의 문서 컬렉션으로부터의 검색결과를 병합하는 컬렉션 융합(collection fusion)문제에 대한 효과적인 랭킹방법을 제시한다. 일반적인 컬렉션 융합 문제란 분산되어 있는 다수의 문서 컬렉션에서 독립적이고 능동적인 검색기들의 검색결과를 효과적으로 랭킹(ranking) 병합하는 것인데, 각기 다른 특성을 가진 다수의 컬렉션을 동일한 검색기를 통하여 검색된 결과를 병합하는 환경과 서로 다른 알고리즘을 갖는 검색기를 통한 검색 결과 병합 환경으로 나누어 질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 특성을 갖는 다수의 컬렉션을 서로 다른 알고리즘을 갖는 검색기들을 통하여 검색한 결과를 병합하는 방법을 제시한다. 각 컬렉션에 학습 질를 넣어 얻은 정보를 토대로, 실제 질의를 넣었을 때 각각의 컬렉션에서 나온 결과가 통합 결과 집합에서 차지하는 비율과 각 문서의 순위를 결정한다. 기존 연구에서 사용한 방법들은 랜덤성에 의존한 비결정적인 랭킹 방법을 제시하거나, 단순하게 검색결과 집합의 문서 수를 바탕으로 인터리빙(interleaving)하는 방법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 학습 질의에서 나온 정보를 기반으로 결정적이면서도 보다 효과적인 랭킹 방법을 제시한다.

RDF 는 트리플의 집합으로서 그래프 데이터 모델로 표현되며, 사용자는 RDF 그래프 모델로부터 정보를 검색하기 위해 시멘틱 질의 언어를 사용한다. 그러나 이러한 접근 방식은 최악의 경우 전체 그래프 데이터 모델을 검색해야 되는 문제점이 발생한다. 이에 따라 최근의 연구에서는 시멘틱 질의를 효율적으로 처리하기 위해서 인덱스를 사용한다. 시멘틱 질의 언어(RDQL, SPARQL)의 핵심은 RDF 트리플에 대한 패턴을 기술함으로써 원하는 트리플 정보를 검색할 수 있게 하는 것이다. 따라서, 기존의 인덱스는 단일 트리플을 효율적으로 검색하는 데 초점을 둔다. 거라나 트리플 패턴의 집합으로 질의가 표현될 경우에는 트리플 패턴 사이의 상관관계 때문에 조인비용이 많이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 조인 비용이 발생되는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 인덱싱 기법을 제안한다. RDF 그래프 모델에서 유지해야 할 정보를 줄이기 위해서 RDF 그래프 모델에 존재하는 유사한 서브 그래프를 하나의 서브 그래프로 병합한다. 병합절차를 마친 여러 서브 그래프에 존재하는 모든 경로를 인덱스에 유지 함으로써 조인 비용을 제거한다.

본 논문에서는 웹캠 카메라 어레이(camera array)로 얻은 여러 장의 이미지를 빠른 속도로 봉합(stitching)하여 고해상도 이미지를 얻기 위해 그래픽스 하드웨어를 이용하는 병렬 알고리즘을 제시한다. 고정된 레이아웃의 카메라 어레이를 이용하여 평면 혹은 원경을 촬영하는 경우, 기존에 널리 쓰이던 평면 사영 이미지 봉합(planar projective image stitching)과 선형 혼합(linear blending)을 통해 만족스런 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 연산을 그래픽스 하드웨어에서 병렬처리 함으로써 추후 실시간 고해상도 동영상 스트리밍 이미지 병합에 활용할 수 있을 정도로 빠른 속도로 처리하는 방법을 제시한다.

Data aggregation is important in wireless sensor networks. However, it also introduces many security problems, one of which is that a compromised node may inject false data or drop a message during data aggregation. Most existing solutions rely on encryption, which however requires high computation and communication cost. But they can only detect the occurrence of an attack without finding the attacking node. This makes sensor nodes waste their energy in sending false data if attacks occur repeatedly. Even an existing work can identify the location of a false data injection attack but it has a limitation that at most 50% of total sensor nodes can participate in data transmission. Therefore, a novel approach is required such that it can identify an attacker and also increase the number of nodes which participate in data transmission. In this paper, we propose a monitoring-based secure data aggregation protocol to prevent against a compromised aggregator which injects false data or drops a message. The proposed protocol consists of aggregation tree construction and secure data aggregation. In secure data aggregation, we use integration of abnormal data detection with monitoring and a minimal cryptographic technique. The simulation results show the proposed protocol increases the number of participating nodes in data transmission to 95% of the total nodes. The proposed protocol also can identify the location of a compromised node which injects false data or drops a message. A communication overhead for tracing back a location of a compromised node is O(n) where n is the total number of nodes and the cost is the same or better than other existing solutions.

In this paper, we propose an image segmentation method preserving object's boundaries by using the number of quantized colors and merging regions using adaptive threshold values. First of all, the proposed method quantizes an original image by a vector quantization and the number of quantized colors is determined differently using PSNR each image. We obtain initial regions from the quantized image, merge initial regions in CIE Lab color space and RGB color space step by step and segment the image into semantic regions. In each merging step, we use color distance between adjacent regions as similarity-measure. Threshold values for region-merging are determined adaptively according to the global mean of the color difference between the original image and its split-regions and the mean of those variations. Also, if the segmented image of RGB color space doesn't split into semantic objects, we merge the image again in the CIE Lab color space as post-processing. Whether the post-processing is done is determined by using the color distance between initial regions of the image and the segmented image of RGB color space. Experiment results show that the proposed method splits an original image into main objects and boundaries of the segmented image are preserved. Also, the proposed method provides better results for objective measure than the conventional method.

A confined field assessment on the integrated control of vector mosquitoes (Anopheles sinen- sis and Culex tritaent'orhynchus) was conducted by timely treatment of Bacillus thuringiensis(H-14) formulation in the presence of larvivorous fish (Aplocheilus lalipes) in natural rice fields of $30,000M^2$ at Yongam, South Korea Cholla Province from July through October in 1988. In presence of larvivorous fish (Aplocheilus) at lower density of 0.6 fish per $M^2$ water surface, mosquito vector control rates ranged 55. 0~57. 6% from July through August, and when the mosquio density started to increase with over 10 larvae on the average per sample, B.t.(H-14) formulation treatment at the rate of 1. 0 Kg/ha made 100% vectors reduc¬tion in 24 hours, the control sustained above 98% until the test was terminated on October 11th. In the fish introduced rice paddies with Aphyocypris chinensis at the density of above 1. 5 fish per $M^2$, a satisfactory degree of vector control was obtained by 88. 2~96. 7% in 2 week period until September 21st. In the absence of larvivorous fishes, B.t. (H-14) treatment made 100% control in 24 hours, however, vector population rebound appeared in day 7, required to make additional treatment to suppress population down.

The potential of applying cold plasma (CP) treatments to improve microbiological safety of powdered products has been investigated using infant milk powder (IMP) and onion powder (OP). Among the different kinds of CP-forming gases, He-$O_2$ (99.8:0.2) gas mixture and He gas were most effective in reducing the number of Cronobacter sakazakii in IMP and Bacillus cereus spores in OP, respectively. C. sakazakii counts in IMP decreased by $0.9{\pm}0.1{\log}\;CFU/g$ after CP treatment, and the extent of C. sakazakii inhibition increased in a time-dependent manner. CP treatment at 900 W for 20 min reduced the number of B. cereus spores by ~0.4 log spores/g. Treatments that integrated CP with microwave (MW-CP treatment) as well as those that integrated CP with heat and microwave (H-MW-CP treatment) resulted in a 90% reduction in the number of spores in OP. Thus, CP treatments demonstrated potential for decontaminating foodborne pathogens from powdered products, in combination with heat for improved effect.

센서 네트워크에서 병합 질의를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 다양한 인-네트워크 질의 처리 기법이 제안되었다. 스카이라인 질의는 일반적인 병합 질의와 달리 다차원 데이터에 대한 비교를 요구하므로 인-네트워크 처리가 쉽지 않다. 스카이라인 질의를 에너지 효율적으로 처리하기 위해서 불필요한 데이터의 전송을 제거하는 것이 중요하다. 기존에 제안된 스카이라인 처리 기법은 전체 네트워크에 필터를 배포함으로써 불필요한 데이터 전송을 차단한다. 하지만 많은 False Positive 발생에 따른 불필요한 데이터 전송과 필터 배포시 발생하는 에너지 소모로 인해 네트워크의 수명이 단축된다. 본 논문에서는 필터 배포에 따른 에너지 소모를 줄이기 위한 방법으로 상향식 필터 설정을 통한 스카이라인 질의 처리 기법과 필터링 성능을 향상시키는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 데이터를 수집하는 과정에서 스카이라인 필터테이블(SFT)설정하는 상향식 필터링을 수행한다. 그리고 선-필터링(Pre-filtering) 기법을 통해 필터효과를 증가시킨다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 우수성을 보이기 위해 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존에 제안된 MFTAC기법과 비교하였으며, 그 결과 평균 False Positive가 평균 84.44% 감소하였고, 네트워크 수명이 약 75.99% 증가하였다.
