This paper aims to realize the location tracking system using the Zigbee in the wireless sensor network. The wireless sensor network offers the user-oriented location tracking service in the ubiquitous environment. The location tracking service can track the location of an object or a person and provides it. The location tracking system realized in this paper can be used inside or outside without any black-out areas to measure the location of the moving nodes. In tracking inside the RSSI signals use and in tracking outside will connect with the GPS signals to track the location. Also, by using Zigbee, the wireless sensor network environment was established and by obtaining the location of the moving nodes, the real-time tracking is possible.

In this study, an ultra-wideband(UWB) signal model is considered to estimate the angle-of-arrivals(AOAs) of clusters in an UWB indoor-to-outdoor communication environment having random angle spreads. A conventional AOA algorithm for UWB estimates the directions of both clusters and multipath signals together and so has complex estimation procedure. In order to solve that problem, we propose a new clustered AOA estimation algorithm. The estimation technique based a well-known MUSIC algorithm is proposed and the estimates of the AOA on received clusters are obtained using the proposed technique. The proposed model and estimation technique are verified through computer simulations.

The purpose of this study is to clarify playground types by characteristics of playground environment in child care facilities, to analyze the needs and estimation of users according to playground types. The subjects of this study were care-givers, who assist outdoor play activities of children and manage safety in playground, to estimate adequateness of playground's environment to children's outdoor plays and to report needs. The data were collected by field measurement survey for clarification playground environments in 21 child care facilities and structured-questionnaire for estimation and needs of 181 care-givers in them. The major results showed the following. 1) The playgrounds were clarified to five type according to number of child and size of playground. The five types include A-type as large-scale facility/small-size playground, B-type as small-scale facility/large-size playground, C-type as small-scale facility/small-size playground, D-type as middle-scale facility/large-size playground, and E-type as large-scale facility/large-size playground. 2) The adequateness of playground environment of D-type were estimate higher than others. C-type were estimated lower than other types in size and outdoor play areas organization of playground. 3) The care-givers in D-type and E-type wanted to install various play equipments, but the care-giver in C-type didn't wanted to install play equipment. 4) The various outdoor play areas were needed in D-type.

최근 경제적 수준의 향상과 더불어 도시인의 생활 양식에도 큰 변화가 초래되어 1일 실내 생활 활동시간이 증대되고 있다. 따라서 실내 생활의 비중이 많은 현대인에게는 실외 대기 오염 물질에 대한 노출 기회보다 실내 공기 오염물질에 대한 노출 기회가 많아 실내 오염의 중요도가 높다(Bloemen and B)urn, 1993). VOCs의 실내 발생원은 주로 건축자재 혹은 가구 및 담배연기 둥이며, 페인트나 유기용제 둥을 사용하는 생활용품에서도 다량 배출되어 인체에 직접적인 노출의 원인이 되고 있다.(중략)

도시 집중화로 교통난과 토지 과부족 현상이 야기되었으며, 초고층빌딩과 지하공간의 개발이 급속히 진행되고 있다. 또한, 지하공간의 이용률 급등에 따라 지하공기를 포함한 실내공기질에 관한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존 연구문헌에 의하면, 현대인의 대부분은 하루 중 80 ∼ 95 %를 다양한 실내 공간에서 생활하고 있으며 (Wiley et al., 1991), 실내오염원이 존재할 경우 실외대기보다 실내공기의 오염도가 극심하다는 연구결과도 있었다 (Hines et al., 1993). (중략)

Bioaerosol은 인공적으로 생성되거나, 혹은 자연적으로 발생하는 생물학적 기원(biological origin)을 가진 물질로 정의한다. 실내공기 중에서 이러한 Bioaerosol 발생의 중요한 원인으로는 실외에서 유입되는 경우와 건물의 HVAC 시스템에 의한 경우, 실내에 거주하고 있는 사람이나 동물에 의한 경우가 대표적이다. 특히 이 세 가지 오염원 중에서 실내 거주자와 동물이 가장 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 보고되고 있다(Pastuszka 등, 2000). (중략)

The purpose of this study is to develop the playground environment model for child care center by analyzing user needs of playground environment. To systemize the playground environment design factors and guidelines, we reviewed the previous research, actual measurement and observation were used as the research methodology. And to recognize the needs of users, the survey and picture survey was conducted to the staffs and children. The scope of survey included child care centers in Seoul and Daejeon, ultimately selecting 12 places in Seoul and 13 places in Daejeon. In terms of the survey period, actual measurement was conducted from June of 2006 to February of 2007, survey and picture survey was conducted from August to September of 2006. For analysis, we used SPSS 10.0 to check the frequency and percentage, as well as to perform cluster analysis. The findings of research can be summarized as below: 1. In playground environment, we observed the area of play ground and ground cover, the independence of play area, play equipment, and the composition of play area. The result of observation showed that while playground area varied widely, ground cover, play equipment, and the composition of play area turned out to be identical, regardless of the playground's area. Therefore, in order to classify various playground environments, we categorized them into 5 types, using the number of children and the area of play ground as a category. Type A had large facilities and small playground area. Type B had small sized facilities and large playground area. Type C had medium sized facilities and small playground area. Type D had medium sized facilities but large playground area. Type E had large sized facilities and large playground area. 2. On the other hand, staffs wanted a tunnel, playhouse, comprehensive play equipment, and a maze to be installed as play facilities, and there were requests for adventure play area and carpenter play area. The picture survey to children showed that they wanted equipments that can provide more thrill, adventure and challenge to them than the ones they see now. Therefore, existing child care center play environments must change from the monotonous and identical environments to the ones that can provide diversities, challenges, and adventures. In the contexts of 5 playground types suggested by this research, type B and D, E where the area of playground were larger than the legally required, should include various play areas and install appropriate play equipments and facilities. Type A and C where the area were small, should provide multipurpose play area to attract the various play behaviors of children.

Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs) are widely utilized not only in lighting but also in various applications such as mobile phones, automobiles, displays, etc. The integration of LED lighting with communication, specifically Visible Light Communication(VLC), has gained significant attention. This paper presents the direct implementation and experimentation of a Vehicle-to-Vehicle(V2V) Visible Light Communication system using commonly used red and yellow LEDs in typical vehicles. Data collected from the leading vehicle, including positional and speed information, were modulated using Non-Return-to-Zero On-Off Keying(NRZ-OOK) and transmitted through the rear lights equipped with red and yellow LEDs. A photodetector(PD) received the visible light signals, demodulated the data, and restored it. To mitigate the interference from fluorescent lights and natural light, a PD for interference removal was installed, and an interference removal device using a polarizing filter and a differential amplifier was employed. The performance of the proposed visible light communication system was analyzed in an ideal case, indoors and outdoors environments. In an outdoor setting, maintaining a distance of approximately 30[cm], and a transmission rate of 4800[bps] for inter-vehicle data transmission, the red LED exhibited a performance improvement of approximately 13.63[dB], while the yellow LED showed an improvement of about 11.9[dB].
