A Smartphone is an intelligent device combined mobile phone and pc's support functions, and can perform multiple functions to satisfy the demands of users. It has excellent processing power and communication modules(DMB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC etc) to carry out the demands of users. But continuous using of battery power on processor and equipped modules causes acceleration of battery consumption. This means that effective power management in devices like smartphone is important. Therefore, the management of power consumption on system execution and communication module is a serious issue in this field of study. In this paper, we would like to propose a communication module selection algorithm based on energy consumption parameter of each communication module and data transfer time. Our scheme automatically select appropriate communication system to reduce high energy consumption on bluetooth sleep mode so that this scheme is more efficient and effective thus improving user convenience in longer usage time. Experimental results showed the 20% energy saving.

The fish fauna and community structure at 20 stations in streams of the Mt. Biseul were investigated from June 2003 to May 2004. During the study period, 29 species, 25 genera belonging to 9 families were collected. Cyprinid fish occupied 48.3% (14 species) and cobitid fish had 13.8% (4 species). Six species (22.2%) were korean endemic and two species of Micropterus salmoides and Lepomis macrochirus were exotic. It was found that the population density of carnivorous fish (Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis) increased in the lower-reach of small streams in the Mt. Biseul area since it had been introduced from the other native rivers in the middle 1990s. As the result of analyzing fish community in the surveyed area, the species diversity ranged from 0.553 to 1.023. The findings showed that the Geumpo, Chacheon and Hyeonpung streams had higher species diversity indicies of 0.936 ${\sim}$ 1.023 than the Sincheon and Gisegok streams with 0.553 ${\sim}$ 0.727.

Effective use of stethoscope is very important for primary clinical diagnosis for the increasing cardiovascular and respiratory disease. This study developed the contact vibration sensor using piezopolymer film which minimizes the ambient noise, and signal processing algorithm was applied for providing better auscultation sounds compare to the existing electronic stethoscopes. Especially, low frequency heart sounds were acquired without distortion, and the quality of lung sounds were improved. Also, auscultating sounds could be transmitted using bluetooth, which made possible to be used for the u-healthcare environment. Results of this study, auscultation of heart and lung sounds, could be applied to the convergence industry of medical and information communication technology through remote diagnosis.

In this paper, we developed a phone call display system or "alimi" for displaying the received phone data at limited space that can not carry a mobile phone and and its validity was confirmed. It consists of a data communication application transmitting the phone data via bluetooth, a RF data repeater to extend the range of data communication, and a display system part for displaying the received phone data to the phone user. It has economy in terms of system installation because the implementation of the proposed system is simple and low cost installation is possible. As ordinary mobile phones users using the system can easily utilize it by downloading the application on the app. store, it has economy and convenience checking whether a call is received.

Short-range wireless communication and networking technologies are becoming increasingly important in enabling useful mobile applications. for example, ZigBee technology is expected to provide low cost and low power connectivity for equipment that needs battery life as long as several months to several years. In addition, ZigBee can be implemented in mesh networks larger than is possible with Bluetooth. The main features of this ZigBee standard are network flexibility, low cost, very low power consumption, and low data rate in an adhoc self-organizing network among fixed, portable and moving devices. Home network/Home automation is one of the key market areas for Zigbee, with an example of a simple network This paper investigates the effect of short range wireless channel on the performance of Zigbee system and DSSS-BPSK signal transmission in AWGN, interference and Rician fading environments. And we investigate performance degradation due to interference and fading effects in short range wireless channel. In particular, the impacts of the fading and interference level on the bit error probability is shown in BER performance figures.

This paper presents a hybrid digital watermarking scheme for color images, We insert two watermarks in the DWT domain using spread-spectrum correlation-based watermarking in luminance component of the color image and in spatial domain using pixel-value substitution of blue channel of color image. The objectives of this paper are to have the watermark robust to common signal processing and to detect any changes on the watermarked image for tamper detection at the same time. This watermark scheme will have the robustness characteristic as typical in frequency domain watermark, and also ability to detect any changes on the image (tamper detection).

We've compared and conceptually evaluated the newly emerging concept of nature-based solutions (NbS's), in the aspect of water management, and existing similar solutions of different naming, all of which are based on ecosystem functions. In this study, it is found that NbS's seem significant and meaningful both educationally and understandably in the aspect that it can comprehensively cover and include the existing methodologies and solutions using the functions of natural ecosystem to socio-environmental challenges. It, however, seems not quite different from the broad-meaning of green infra, including Eco-DRR, in terms of the approaching methodologies in water management. The conceptual and spatial hierarchy of each practice in water management considered in this study can be expressed in the narrowing order of NbS-(EE)-BGI-(CRT)-GI-LID. Last, the term LID, which is the best management practice for storm water management in the development project, can be replaced with the term GI for clarification and less confusion both in academia and practice.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the subjective preference for odors, which has been an important factor for selecting fabric softner, and to identify the structure of sensibility of odors. Among six different odors, the subjects preferred freesia, blue bianca, violet, herb, green tea, and peach, in that order. Compared to male subjects, female subjects preferred freesia, herb, and blue bianca. The structure of odor sensibility to freesia showed 5 different factors and the odor sensibility to peach showed 6 different factors. Therefore, the structure of odor sensibility according to different odors was a bit different. Common factors of freesia odor and peach odor were aesthetics, character, excitement and intensity.

Recent climatic changes by global warming include increased amount and intensity of rainfall. This study was conducted to find out possible roles of turfgrasses to reduce the impact of climatic changes, especially surface soil erosion. Soil erosions by intensive rain were measured after each significant precipitation from the artificially sloped plots of zoysiagrass, cool-season grass mixture of Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass and other typical korean summer crops. Sodded zoysiagrass resulted in minimal annual soil erosion followed by strip-sodded zoysiagrass and cool-season turfgrass mixture while dry-field rice and bean cultivations eroded the surface soils of 5 to 10 MT $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ and pepper cultivation resulted in 7 to 14 MT $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ annual loss of surface soil. Annual loss of surface soil from bare land with hand weeding was up to 18 MT $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ while greatly reduced soil erosion was observed from weed grown treatment.

A study is undertaken to examine the effects of the additional frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans to quality attributes of pound cakes. Frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans are being added to the flour at a ratio of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5% respectively. The antioxidant activity is highly correlated with the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents of frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans of pound cakes, respectively (r=0.8423, p<0.001 r=0.9449, p<0.001). The quality characteristics of the specific volumes decreased significantly with increasing substitution levels of frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans (p<0.01). The lightness significantly decreased with increasing frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans of pound cakes' crusts and crumbs (p<0.01). The hardness, chewiness and gumminess tend to reduce, while the cohesiveness increase in both powders. The consumer acceptability score for 0.5~3.5% of frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans pound cakes ranked significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the other groups according to taste, flavor and overall preferences. These results show that frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from the black beans are a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability and overall healthy.
