The development of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be motivated by several types of applications. However, these applications demand an energy-efficient WSN that can prolong the network lifetime and can provide high throughput, low latency and delay. Designing wireless sensor networks with the capability of prolonging network lifetime catch the attention of many researchers in wireless system and network field. Contrasts with Mobile Ad Hoc Network system, Wireless Sensor Networks designs focused more on survivability of each node in the network instead of maximizing data throughput or minimizing end-to-end delay. In this paper, we will study part of data link layer in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, called medium access control (MAC) layer. Since the MAC development of energy aware MAC Protocol for wireless sensor layer controls the physical radio part, it has a large impact on the overall energy consumption and the lifetime of a node. This paper proposes a analytical approach that tries to reduce idle energy consumption, and shows the increasement of network end-to-end arrival rate due to efficiency in energy consumption from time slot management.

Nylon laminated low density polyethylene(LDPE) film is mostly used for package of Vienna sausage in Korea. The water vapor permeability and gas transmission rate of Nylon laminated LDPE film is higher than that of Oriented polypropylene/polyvinylidene chloride coated LDPE film. Comparision of shelf-life of Vienna sausage packed with both film was as follows. The water vapor permeability and gas transmission rate of PVDC coated film were 2.5 times lower and 20.7 to 30 times lower than those of Nylon laminated film, respectively. Shelf-lives of Vienna sausage packed with Nylon laminated film and PVDC coated films were 25 days and 31 days at $15^{\circ}C$, 32 days and 41 days at $5^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The newly hatched nymphs of brown planthopper(BPH) were reared individually for two generations in test tubes, where young rice seedling was planted on agar solution, at $30^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C\;with\;95\%,\;75\%,\;65\%\;and\;35\%$ R.H. Effects of $30^{\circ}C$ on the development of BPH when compared with those of $25^{\circ}C$ are followings. Egg period, nymphal period, and adult longevity were shortened. Nymphal mortality was increased and the number of oviposited eggs was decreased. Hatchability was zero per cent because the eggs were either unfertilized or died before finishing the development. At the low temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, in comparision with $25^{\circ}C$, the developmental period of nymphs and eggs was considerably lengthened, and adult longevity was shortened, the number of oviposited eggs was decreased. The nymphal mortality was higher at high relative humidity $(above\;75\%\;RH)$ than that at low relative humidity $(under\;65\%\;RH)$. Under the condition of high relative humidities, the adult longevity was shortened, and the number of oviposited eggs was decreased.

The shelf-life of wrapped chewing gum(7 sticks) under the climate condition of Seoul was predicted by using moisture gain equation to reach safe moisture limits of 3.16% (dry basis). The overall water vapor permeability of multilayer packaging material was about 0.00045g water/pack day mmHg. The water activity of chewing gum at any temperature was predictable using Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The most significant loss of shelf-life was occurred between June and July, and most products reached the end of shelf-life at July and August. The product which were made in October and November had the longest shelf-life as seven months.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of pupal development and adult longevity of Spodoptera litura larvae reared on leaves of different leguminos plants of 11 varieties or cultivars. Pupal duration varied from 8.7 to 9.5 days depending upon different diets and duration of female pupa (8.3~9.1 days) was about 1 day shorter than that of male's (9.4~10.1 days). Prepupal an postpupal duration were 1.7 to 2.0 days and 6.7 to 7.7 days, respectively. Pupal weight ranged from 0.23g to 0.43g for female and 0.24g to 0.35 g for male. Percent change of pupal weight was lowest (11%) on geomjeongkong-1 and highest (16%) on bukwangkong. Adult longevity was in ranging from 7.8 days on dongbu to 11.2 days on bukwangkong and tended to become slightly longer in female than tin male. Significant relationships were recognized between moisture content of feeding leaf, the pupal duration and weight and adult longevity.

Weibull distribution is a popular distribution for modeling lifetimes because it reflects the characteristics of failure adequately and it models either increasing or decreasing failure rates simply. It is a standard method of the lifetimes test to wait until all samples failed; however, censoring can occur due to some realistic limitations. In this paper, we propose a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) chart to monitor changes in the scale parameter for type I right-censored Weibull lifetime data. We also compare the performance of the proposed GLR chart with two CUSUM charts proposed earlier using average run length (ARL). Simulation results show that the Weibull GLR chart is effective to detect a wide range of shift sizes when the shape parameter and sample size are large and the censoring rate is not too high.

In ad-hoc networks, dynamically reconfigurable and temporary wireless networks, all mobile devices cooperatively maintain network connectivity with no assistance of base stations while they have limited amounts of energy that is used in different rates depending on the power level. Since every node has to perform the functions of a router, if some nodes die early due to lack of energy, it will not be possible for other nodes to communicate with each other and network lifetime will be shortened. Consequently, it is very important to develop a technique to efficiently consume the limited amounts of energy resources so that the network lifetime is maximized. In this paper, geographical localized routing is proposed to help making smarter routing decision using only local information and reduce the routing overhead. The proposed localized routing algorithm selects energy-aware neighbors considering the transmission energy and error rate over the wireless link, and the residual energy of the node, which enables nodes to achieve balanced energy-consumption and the network lifetime to prolong.

In this paper, the effect of the natural aging on the strength distribution and structural service life of a Filament Wound (FW) composite pressure vessel was studied. The fiber failure strain, which is varied significantly, was considered as the design random variable and the strength analysis was carried out by probabilistic numerical approach. The progressive failure analysis technique and the First Order Reliability Method (FORM) were embedded in this numerical model. As the calculation results, the probability of failure was obtained for each aging time steps and it is found that the strength degradation in FW composite pressure vessel, due to the natural aging, appears within 10 year-aging-time. As an example of the life prediction under natural aging using arbitrary laminated model, the service lifetime of 13 years was predicted based on the probability of failure of 2.5% and the design pressure of 3,250 psi.

고분자 소재(polycarbonate; PC)의 표면을 보호하고 광학적 특성을 유지하기 위해 산화물 다층 박막과 비정질 탄소 박막(diamond-like carbon; DLC)을 전자빔 증착(e-beam evaporation)과 이온빔 증착(ion-beam deposition)을 이용하여 고분자 소재에 코팅하였다. 전자빔 증착으로 코팅된 실리콘과 티타늄 산화물 다층 박막은 소재 표면에서 가시광선의 반사율을 낮추는 효과를 가지고 있어 다양한 광학 코팅분야에서 이용되고 있다. 비정질 탄소 박막은 경도가 높고 마찰계수가 낮기 때문에 기계부품의 수명향상을 향상하기 위해 주로 사용되며, 본 연구에서는 고분자 소재의 최상층에 코팅하여 보호막으로 이용하였다. 고분자 윈도우에 산화물 다층 박막을 코팅하면 코팅되지 않은 기판과 비교하여 투과율이 향상되었으며 보호막으로 코팅된 비정질 탄소 박막에 의해서 일어나는 투과율 저하를 부분적으로 상쇄하는 효과를 보였다. 산화물 다층 박막의 수는 광학 분야에서는 주로 5-7층을 이용하지만 고분자 소재는 코팅 공정이 길어지면 열 변형이 일어날 수 있기 때문에 산화막의 층수를 낮추는데 초점이 맞춰졌다. 5층과 3층으로 코팅된 산화물 박막 모두 투과율이 향상되었으며 3층에 비해서 5층의 투과율 향상효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 고분자 소재의 투과율은 평균 약 90%이었으며 산화물 다층 박막과 비정질 탄소 박막을 코팅한 후 투과율이 약 81%로 측정되었다. 비정질 탄소 박막과 산화물 다층 박막을 적절하게 설계하고 코팅한다면 고분자 소재의 보호막으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

태양전지 제작 시 표면에 피라미드 구조를 형성하면 입사되는 광의 흡수를 높여 광 생성 전류의 향상에 기여한다. 일반적인 KOH를 이용한 습식 표면조직화 공정은 평균 10%의 반사율을 보였으며, 유도 결합 플라즈마를 이용한 RIE 공정은 평균 5.4%의 더 낮은 반사율을 보였다. 그러나 RIE 공정을 이용한 표면조직화는 낮은 반사율과 서브 마이크론 크기의 표면 구조를 만들 수 있지만 플라즈마 조사에 의한 표면 손상이 많이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 표면 손상은 태양전지 제작 시 표면에서 높은 재결합 영역으로 작용하게 되어 포화 전류(saturation currents, $J_0$)를 증가시키고 캐리어 수명(carrier lifetime, ${\tau}$)을 낮추는 결함 요소로 작용한다. 이러한 플라즈마에 의한 표면 손상을 제거하기 위해 HF, HNO3, DI-water를 이용하여 DRE(Damage Remove Etching) 공정을 진행하였다. DRE 공정은 HF : DI-water 솔루션과 HNO3 : HF : DI-water 솔루션의 두 가지 공정을 이용하여 공정 시간을 가변하며 진행하였다. 포화전류($J_0$), 캐리어 수명(${\tau}$), 벌크 캐리어 수명(Bulk ${\tau}$)을 비교를 하기위해 KOH, RIE, RIE + DRE 공정을 진행한 세 가지 샘플로 실험을 진행하였다. DRE 공정을 적용할 경우 공정 시간이 지날수록 반사도가 높아지는 경향을 보였지만, 두 번째의 최적화된 솔루션 공정에서 $2.36E-13A/cm^2$, $42{\mu}s$의 $J_0$, Bulk ${\tau}$값과 가장 높은 $26.4{\mu}s$의 ${\tau}$를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 오제 재결합(auger recombination)이 가장 많이 발생하는 지역인 표면과 불균일한 도핑 영역에서 DRE 공정을 통해 나아진 표면 특성과 균일한 도핑 프로파일을 형성하게 되어 재결합 영역과 $J_0$가 감소 된 것으로 판단된다. 높아진 반사도의 경우 $SiN_x$를 이용한 반사방지막을 통해 표면 반사율을 1% 이내로 내릴 수 있어 보완이 가능하였다. 본 연구에서는 RIE 공정 중 플라즈마에 의해 발생하는 표면 손상 제거를 통하여 캐리어 라이프 타임의 향상된 조건을 찾기 위한 연구를 진행하였으며, 기존 RIE 공정에 비해 반사도의 상승은 있지만 플라즈마로 인한 표면 손상을 제거하여 오제 재결합에 의한 발생하는 $J_0$를 낮출 수 있었고 높은 ${\tau}$값인 $26.4{\mu}s$의 결과를 얻어 추후 태양전지 제작에 향상된 효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
