Energy harvesting technique is an energy charging technique for communication device in energy-constrained environment. Recently, energy harvesting technique that harvests energy from wireless radio frequency signal is proposed. Representatively, there are time switching technique and power splitting technique. This paper proposes an optimal harvesting time allocation scheme in a wireless cognitive relay network when secondary user relay uses energy harvesting technique to transmit information. Secondary user relay receives information and energy simultaneously from the secondary user source's signal via time switching technique. We aim to maximize the instantaneous throughput by optimizing harvesting time of the secondary user relay. Simulation results show that using optimized harvesting time gets larger instantaneous throughput compared to using constant harvesting time.

본 논문에서는 4K UHD 입력 영상을 실시간으로 부호화하기 위해 적용되는 GOP 단위 또는 IDR 주기 단위의 병렬 부호화 구조를 지원하도록 R-${\lambda}$ 모델 기반의 율 제어 방법을 개선하는 비트 분배(bit allocation) 방법을 제안한다. GOP 단위 또는 IDR 주기 단위의 병렬 부호화기 내에서 율 제어기를 작동시키는 경우, 계층적 B 구조에서 같은 계층에 있는 프레임 간에는 상호간에 얼마만큼의 비트를 소모 하였는지에 대한 정보를 공유 할 수 없기 때문에 기존의 비트 분배 방식으로는 비트 예산(bit budget) 관리가 불가능하다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는, 기존의 R-${\lambda}$ 모델 기반 율 제어 방법을 개선하여 부호화 순서에 의한 시간 순서 방향의 비트 예산 갱신 기반 비트 분배하던 방식으로부터, GOP 마다 비트를 할당한 후 계층적 B 구조에서의 계층이 깊어지는 방향으로 비트 예산을 갱신하여 비트를 분배하는 방식으로 율 배분 방식을 개선하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 R-${\lambda}$ 모델 기반 율 제어의 기존 비트 분배 방식보다 제안 방법에 의한 목표 비트 율 달성 오차가 감소함을 확인하였다.

The applicability of the developed distributed rainfall runoff model using a multi-directional flow allocation algorithm and a real-time updating algorithm was evaluated. The rainfall runoff processes were simulated for the events of the Andong dam basin and the Namgang dam basin using raingauge network data and weather radar rainfall data, respectively. Model parameters of the basins were estimated using previous storm event then those parameters were applied to a current storm event. The physical propriety of the multi-directional flow allocation algorithm for flow routing was validated by presenting the result of flow grouping for the Andong dam basin. Results demonstrated that the developed model has efficiency of simulation time with maintaining accuracy by applying the multi-directional flow allocation algorithm and it can obtain more accurate results by applying the real-time updating algorithm. In this study, we demonstrated the applicability of a distributed rainfall runoff model for the advanced basin-wide flood management.

The clustering environment with heterogeneous workstations provides the cost effectiveness and usability for executing applications in parallel. Load balancing is considered a necessary feature for a cluster of heterogeneous workstations to minimize the turnaround time. Previously, static load balancing that assigns a predetermined weight for the processing capability of each workstation, or dynamic approaches which execute a benchmark program to get relative processing capability of each workstation were proposed. The execution of the benchmark program, which has nothing to do with the application being executed, consumes the computation time and the overall turnaround time is delayed. In this paper, we present efficient methods for task distribution and task migration, based on the relative load index. We designed and implemented a load balancing system for the clustering environment with heterogeneous workstations. Turnaround times of our methods and the round-robin approach, as well as the load balancing method using a benchmark program, were compared. The experimental results show that our methods outperform all the other methods that we compared.

최근 임베디드 시스템이 이용되는 이동체나 자동화 공장에서 각 디바이스들간의 분배된 작업이 정확한 시간에 맞추어 작동 할 것을 요구하고 있어 시간 동기화는 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 각각의 시스템은 자기의 시계를 가지고 처리되기 때문에 이들간의 시간 정보의 오차를 적게 하여야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 SNTP 프로토콜을 이용해 타임서버로부터 시간의 단위를 정하여 단위 간격마다 시간을 여러 번 확인하여 오차를 조정하고, 실험을 통해 평균오차와 최대오차를 구하여 시간 동기화 시점을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 시간 동기화 시점을 미리 조정하여 다음 장치들 간의 통신 시점에서 동기화를 할 경우 오차를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 Rabbit Board 6700 으로 구현하고 검증하여 이를 시간적 정밀함이 요구되는 응용분야에 적용할 수 있게 한다.

In order to develop the simultaneous analytical method for pesticide residues which ones in soil are rapidly and inexpensively measured by, many analytical methods for individual pesticide residue and several methods for multi-pesticide residues in agricultural commodities and food were reviewed. Various gas chromatographic conditions and pre-treatment procedures were intensively investigated and modified. And then new optimum procedure was established and its proficiency was validated. The response on detectors of simultaneous determination of 180 pesticides out of pesticides used in Korea was tested. The number of pesticides that their limits of detection (LOD) equal or lower than $0.05\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ were 137 pesticides on ECD, 170 pesticides on NPD and 179 pesticides on ECD/NPD integrated. The retention times of most pesticides ranged appropriately between 10 minutes and 40 minutes in the proposed chromatographic conditions. But about 90 pesticides eluded between 20 minutes and 30 minutes and so they were not resolved enough. In partition with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1) and ethyl acetate, number of pesticides whose extraction efficiency ranged from 70% to 120%, were 163, 154 and 147, respectively.

Important physicochemical properties of captafol [N-(1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-ethylthio)cyclohex-4-ene-1,2-dicarboximide], water solubility, vapor pressure, hydrolysis and octanol/water partition coefficient(Kow) were measured based on the standard EPA and OECD methods. Water solubility of the chemical was 2.24 ppm at $25^{\circ}C$. Half-life by hydrolysis at $25^{\circ}C$ in the buffer solution of pH 3.0, pH 7.0, and pH 8.0 was 77.8 hr, 6.54 hr and 0.72 hr, respectively, demonstrating instability in alkaline solution. The half-life in acid condition was not significantly different by temperature change, however, that in neutral or alkaline solution became shorter at $40^{\circ}C$. Hydrolysis study with a reference compound, diazinon, proved that the experimental method of the present study is reliable. Vapor pressure of captafol, $8.27{\times}10^{-9}$ torr at $20^{\circ}C$, was calculated from the equation, log P=6.94-(4401.6/T) plotted on the experiment results under different temperature conditions, 40, 50, and $60^{\circ}C$. pressure of captafol, the contamination of captafol would not happen easily in environment by vaporization. High Kow value of 1,523 was observed and this might result in bioconcentration through food chain when captafol was exposed. However, affecting human health through aquatic bioaccumulation is not likely to occur due to its rapid hydrolysis in the environment.

Several physicochemical properties such as water solubility, vapor pressure, hydrolysis and octanol/water partition coefficient(Kow) of flupyrazofos, the first organophosphorus insecticide developed in Korea, were measured based on EPA and OECD methods. Water solubility was low showing 0.80 ppm at $25^{\circ}C$ and in hydrolysis study, half-life at $25^{\circ}C$ was 266.5 hr(pH 4.0), 180.0 hr(pH 7.0) and 120.9 hr(pH 9.0) demonstrating instability in alkaline solution. At $40^{\circ}C$ hydrolysis rate was $2{\sim}4$ times higher than that at $25^{\circ}C$. The equation log P=0.673-(1565.4/T) was obtained from vapor pressure experiments at three different temperatures (25, 35, $45^{\circ}C$) and $2.81{\times}10^{-5}$ torr was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$. This value is similar to that of diazinon and 1,000 times lower than that of DDVP suggesting it would not give environmental contamination by volatilization. High log Kow(5.24) was observed and this might result in bioconcentration through food chain. However, its possibility is not likely to be high due to its relatively rapid hydrolysis.

Recent portable devices are so versatile that they have multiple communication channels and play several multimedia formats. Especially, many services are under development for users who connect Internet or nearby devices via WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) and/or WLAN (Wireless LAN). In case of paying the telecommunication cost proportional to the amount of data downloaded, it is necessary to reduce the cost by constructing a special ad hoc network in which each participating peer downloads a specific portion of the want-to-be-shared content over the payable WWAN channel and exchanges the remaining portion with other peers using the cost-free WLAN channel. If all peers participate in forwarding packets, some transmissions are redundant which results in the unnecessary consumption of bandwidth as well as the delayed content distribution time. In order to reduce the redundant transmission, this paper proposes both the excluding method which discourages some peers not to forward redundant packets, and the minimum cover set method in which only the minimum number of peers are in charge of forwarding packets. These two methods obviate redundant packet forwarding, and result in reduction of content distribution time by up to around 29%.

시공간 접근 방법들을 위한 효율적인 성능평가 환경은 최소한 다음과 같은 모듈들을 포함해야 한다. 종합적인 데이터집합의 생성, 데이터집합의 저장, 접근 구조들의 수집과 실행, 실험적인 결과의 시각화 등이다. 데이터집합 저장 모듈에 초점을 맞추어서 다양한 실제 세계 시나리오를 실험하기 위한 종합적인 데이터의 생성이 요구된다. 과거의 여러 알고리즘들은 작업공간에서 미리 분배된 정적인 공간데이터를 생성하기 위하여 구현되어져왔다. 하지만 시간에 따라 변화하는 공간객체인 시공간 데이터를 생성하기에는 어렵다. 이 논문에서 시공간 데이터 타입의 데이터 생성기에서 고려하여야 할 매개변수들에 대하여 논의한다. "Generate_Spatio_Temporal_Data"라는 알고리즘은 움직이는 점 또는 사각형데이터를 생성하고 거래시간과 유효시간을 구별하지 않았으며 시간 점만을 표현하였다. 이 논문에서는 정확한 시간적 개념을 표현하기 위하여 거래시간과 유효시간간격 모두를 지원하는 데이터 생성기에 관하여 논의하기 위한 알고리즘을 제시하고 실제적인 데이터집합 생성을 위한 매개변수들을 나타낸다.
