In this study, ship movement simulation was performed based on a marine physics model for the ancient port presumed under the past environmental conditions in the coastal area of Hwaseong, which played an important role as a center of trade in the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla periods. The paleo topographical surface was reconstructed through the analysis of borehole sediments, and the paleo coastline was extracted through the geomorphological maps published during before independence. Based on the established paleo environmental conditions of the Hwaseong coast, the marine physics model (FVCOM) was used to simulate the flow of surface currents and the route of floating materials assumed to be ancient ships. As a result, the processes of moving ships from the port to the open sea in the Eunsupo area, which is estimated location of the ancient port related to Dangseong, was well simulated, and thus the reliability of the location of the ancient port estimated by the scientific method was secured. This study is significant as a result of convergence research that encompasses archeology, history, geomorpology, geology, and oceanography.

In order to increase timber self-sufficiency, Korea's 6th Basic Forest Plan aims to increase the density of forest roads to 12.8 m ha^-1 by 2037. However, due to rapid re-forestation, current management infrastructure is insufficient, with just 4.8 m ha^-1 of forest roads in 2017. This is partly due to time and cost limitations on the process of forest road feasibility evaluation, which considers factors such as topography and forest conditions. To solve this problem, we propose an eco-friendly and efficient forest road network planning method using a geographic information system (GIS), which can evaluate a potential road site remotely based on spatial information. To facilitate such planning, this study identifies forest road construction priorities that can be evaluated using spatial information, such as topography, forest type and forest disasters. A method of predicting the optimal route to connect a forest road with existing roads is also derived. Overlapping analysis was performed using GIS-MCE (which combines GIS with multi-criteria evaluation), targeting the areas of Cheongsong-gun and Buk-gu, Pohang-si, which have a low forest-road density. Each factor affecting the suitability of a proposed new forest road site was assigned a cost, creating a cost surface that facilitates prioritization for each forest type. The forest path's optimal route was then derived using least-cost path analysis. The results of this process were 30 forestry site recommendations in Cheongsong-gun and one in Buk-gu, Pohang-si; this would increase forest road density for the managed forest sites in Cheongsong-gun from 1.58 m ha^-1 to 2.55 m ha^-1. This evaluation method can contribute to the policy of increasing timber self-sufficiency by providing clear guidelines for selecting forest road construction sites and predicting optimal connections to the existing road network.

토양오염기준은 토지이용별 또는 오염노출경로별 오염토양의 조사, 평가 및 복구를 위한 유용한 지침으로 이용될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 한국을 포함한 몇몇 국가의 토양오염기준을 특히 중금속에 주안점을 두고 검토하였다. 또한 국내 일부 폐광산 지역의 환경오염 조사결과를 토양오염기준과 비교하며 평가하였다. 영국, 네덜란드, 독일, 캐나다, 일본 등의 국가에서는 복구우선순위 선정과 인체건강 및 생태계 보전을 위한 오염토양의 선별수단으로 토양오염기준을 개발하여 왔다. 국내에서는 1996년 토양환경보전법(시행규칙)의 시행에 따라 토양 오염기준 설정과 특정토양오염유발시설의 관리, 정기적 토양오염도 조사를 실시하고 있으며 이후 2001년 보완 개정되어 토양오염물질의 확대적용과 토양오염 조사, 관리 및 복원 방법의 보완이 이루어진 바 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 현 중금속(Cd, Cu 및 Pb)의 오염기준을 적용할때 폐광산 지역의 폐기물과 이에 오염된 토양의 경우 다량의 중금속을 함유하고 있지만 오염지역으로 규정되지 않을 수도 있다. 이 연구 결과, 0.1N 염산용출법은 중금속의 토양 내 화학적 형태 중 일부 교환성 및 환원성 형태만을 추출하며 황화물 형태를 충분히 용출하지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 장기적인 환경조건 변화에 따른 토양 내 중금속의 용출성 변화를 평가하기 위해서는 강산추출법이 요구되어진다. 따라서 폐광산지 역의 중금속에 의한 토양오염의 타당한 환경평가 결정을 위해 현 분석기법 외에 총함량 분석방법의 병행적용과 이에 따른 새로운 오염기준 설정 등이 필요한 것으로 제시되었다.

Spread spectrum provides the minimized inter-symbol interference, the low probability of intercept and the multiple access capability. This paper presents a direct sequence spread spectrum with carrier/timing recovery and equalizer which compensates the delay spread caused by multipath transmission. When the sea trials were performed in Korean East Sea, the bit error rates of QPSK and direct sequence spread spectrum are $1.46{\times}10^{-2}$ and $5.17{\times}10^{-4}$ at 3 km source-receiver range, respectively.

An algorithm for tracking the trace of structured light is proposed to obtain depth information accurately. The technique is based on the fact that the pixel location of light in an image has a unique association with the object depth. However, sometimes the projected light is dim or invisible due to the absorption and reflection on the surface of the object. A dynamic programming approach is proposed to solve such a problem. In this paper, necessary mathematics for implementing the algorithm is presented and the projected laser light is tracked utilizing a dynamic programming technique. Advantage is that the trace remains integrity while many parts of the laser beam are dim or invisible. Experimental results as well as the 3-D restoration are reported.

Relay-assisted wireless communication systems have been studied widely to cope with shadow areas and extend the cell coverage. This paper proposes a space-frequency (SF) block coded single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) transmission system in a relaying multi-path shadow area and present the performance comparison of SC-FDMA systems based on the signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) between a relay and a destination station. The performance of relaying SC-FDMA systems can be improved by applying SF block code to the recovered signals of relays before re-transmitting them. The simulation result showed that the SNR performance of the proposed SF block coded relaying SC-FDMA system was approximately 5 dB better than the SNR performance of the single-path relaying SC-FDMA system at a symbol error rate (SER) of $10^{-2}$.

In this study, we present a method for efficiently aggregating networks state information required to determine feasible paths in transport networks that uses the source routing algorithm for hierarchical QoS routing. It is proposed to transform the full mesh topology whose Service Boundary Line serves as its logical link into the star topology. This is an aggregation method that can be used when there are two or more QoS parameters for the link to be aggregated in an asymmetric network, and it improves the information accuracy of the star topology. For this purpose, the Service Boundary Line's 3 attributes, splitting, joining and integrating, are defined in this study, and they are used to present a topology transformation method. The proposed method is similar to space complexity and time complexity of other known techniques. But simulation results showed that aggregated information accuracy and query response accuracy is more highly than that of other known method.

For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), cyclic prefix (CP) should be longer than the length of channel impulse response. In order to prevent a loss of bandwidth efficiency due to the use of a CP, residual intersymbol interference cancellation (RISIC) method has recently been developed. In this paper, we first apply the RISIC algorithm to the space-time block coded (STBC) OFDM and the space-frequency block coded (SFBC) OFDM with insufficient CP. It is shown that in the STBC OFDM, tail cancellation as well as cyclic restoration of the RISIC should be repeated. Second, we propose iterative channel estimation method for the RISIC in the STBC OFDM system with insufficient CP. Based on the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, the proposed estimation method exploits the extrinsic probabilities of the channel decoder iteratively. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by computer simulation in a multipath fading environment.

Power consumption during test can be much higher than that during normal operation since test vectors are determined independently. In order to reduce the power consumption during test process, a new BIST(Built-In Self Test) architecture is proposed. In the proposed architecture, test vectors generated by an LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Resister) are transformed into the new patterns with low transitions using Bit Generator and Bit Dropper. Experiments performed on ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that transition reduction during scan testing can be achieved by 62% without loss of fault coverage. Therefore the new architecture is a viable solution for reducing both peak and average power consumption.

High speed implementation of digital filters is required in high data rate applications such as hard-wired wide band modem and high resolution video codec. Since the critical path of the digital filter is the MAC (multiplication and accumulation) circuit, the filter coefficient with sparse non-zero bits enables high speed implementation with adders of low hardware cost. Compressive sensing has been reported to be very successful in sparse representation and sparse signal recovery. In this paper a filter design method for digital FIR filters with CSD (canonic signed digit) coefficients using compressive sensing technique is proposed. The sparse non-zero signed bits are selected in the greedy fashion while pruning the mistakenly selected digits. A few design examples show that the proposed method can be utilized for designing sparse CSD coefficient digital FIR filters approximating the desired frequency response.
