MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network)s have been researched primary at routing protocols and at the guarantees of QoS(Quality of Service) for mobile environments. Otherwise the Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USNs) have some limitations in power energies and in processing of sensing data, as well as their network topologies are frequently changed by fading off and node failures. Thus we should redesign network protocols with concerning to energy efficiency for the USNs above all. In this paper, we focus on the protocol interface for managing for USNs based on the surveys. And then we figure the topology of USNs out and design the network protocol interface to make power saved, with data gathering and processing more efficient using our designed packet structures.

Seoul's One Less Nuclear Power Plant is the major urban energy policy launched in April 2012. Its effort to respond to climate change and energy crisis in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident turned out very successful, considering huge decrease of energy consumption. However, the question of how the cut of energy consumption was possible remains unanswered. This paper introduces the concept of urban governance capacity as the cause of the success. It is the managing and governing capability to maintain the logical consistency policy system, comprising of policy perception, goals, policy tools and evaluation. Without this logical correspondence between the policy factors, any system including energy regime easily falls apart during the systemic transitional period. Governance capacity provides the integrating framework, so that the system as a whole maintains the internal homeostasis.

In this paper, an extended snake algorithm using color variance energy is proposed for segmenting an interest object in color image. General snake algorithm makes use of energy in image to segment images into a interesting area and background. There are many kinds of energy that can be used by the snake algorithm. The efficiency of the snake algorithm is depend on what kind of energy is used. A general snake algorithm based on active contour model uses the intensity value as an image energy that can be implemented and analyzed easily. But it is sensitive to noises because the image gradient uses a differential operator to get its image energy. And it is difficult for the general snake algorithm to be applied on the complex image background. Therefore, the proposed snake algorithm efficiently segment an interest object on the color image by adding a color variance of the segmented area to the image energy. This paper executed various experiments to segment an interest object on color images with simple or complex background for verifying the performance of the proposed extended snake algorithm. It shows improved accuracy performance about 12.42 %.

Measurements of the peripheral dose were performed using a 2D array ion chamber and solid water phantom for a $10{\times}10cm$, source-surface distance (SSD) 90cm, 6 and 15MV photon beam at depths of 0.5cm, 5cm through $d_{max}$. Measurements of peripheral dose at 0.5cm and 5cm depths were performed from 1cm to 5cm outside of fields for the dynamic wedge and physical wedge $15^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$. For 6MV photon beam, the average peripheral dose of dynamic wedge were lower by 1.4% and 0.1% than that of physical wedge For 15MV photon beam, the peripheral dose of dynamic wedge were lower by maximum 1.6% that of physical wedge. The results showed that dynamic wedge can reduce scattered dose of clinical organ close to the field edge. The wedge systems produce different peripheral dose that should be considered in properly choosing a wedge system for clinical use.

일반적으로 기술융합이라는 용어는 IT, BT, NT 등 성격이 다른 큰 범주에서 기술간의 결합으로 인식되고 있다. 현재까지의 기술융합 연구들은 IT기술을 중심으로 한 융합과 관련 국가 정책에 관한 것이 대부분을 차지하고 있어 큰 기술 범주 위주에 국한되어 있다. 하지만 동일한 목적을 위해 수행하는 유사 기술영영에서의 기술융합 역시 기술혁신의 수단으로 간과할 수 없는 영역이다. 실제로 미국, 유럽 등의 선진국에서는 기술융합 전담기관을 신설하여 프로젝트 내의 기술간 융합에 관심을 갖고 있지만, 국내에서는 프로젝트 범위의 기술융합 가능성 및 실효성에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지식경제부에서 수행하는 가스하이드레이트 연구개발사업을 실증사례로 하여 프로젝트 범위의 기술 융합에 관하여 기술융합의 필요성, 적용가능성, 실효성에 초점을 맞추어 고찰하였다. 가스하이드레이트 개발 사업은 지식경제부 내 가스하이드레이트 개발사업단 주관으로 2005년에 시작되었으며 2014년까지 I 지역 탐사 및 시추, II 지역 탐사 및 시추, 시험생산의 3단계의 달성목표를 가지고 있다. 가스하이드레이트는 천연가스가 저온 고압 상태에서 물과 결합해 형성된 고체 에너지로 화석연료 고갈에 따라 이를 대체할 가장 유력한 청정에너지원으로 주목받고 있다. 현재 가스하이드레이트 개발사업단에서는 지구물리탐사분야 지질지화학분야 개발생산분야로 세부 기술모듈을 형성하여 목표달성을 위해 노력하고 있지만, 중과제간 교류가 부족한 상황으로 인해 목표달성을 위한 기술력의 확보 및 향후 상업생산에 대한 불확실성이 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 이와 같은 상황을 해결하기 위해서 기술개발 및 혁신의 수단인 기술융합의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 기술혁신은 기초연구, 응용연구, 개발, 학습, 투자 등의 일련의 과정을 거쳐 경제적 성과와 사회적 영향을 만들어내는 개념으로 정의 할 수 있다. 기술혁신을 이루어내는 가장 중심적인 역할을 담당하는 기술융합은 2개 이상의 요소기술들이 결합하여 기술이 갖지 않는 새로운 기능을 발휘하는 기술혁신의 한 현상으로 정의할 수 있다. 기술융합은 21세기 초에 접어들어 급속하게 변화하는 양상을 보이며 예상보다 경제에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 가스하이드레이트 각 단계에서의 애로점을 극복하기 위한 기술혁신을 위해 지구물리탐사 지질지화학 개발생산분야간의 융합의 가능성 등을 타진해본 결과, 각 기술융합들을 기술융합 유형에 맞춰 분류할 수 있었으며 유형별 적용가능성과 기대효과 측면에서 비교분석을 수행하였다. 분석의 정밀도를 높이기 위하여 기술융합 유형에 대한 이론과 실제 가스하이드레이트 전문가들과의 설문을 통해 비교분석을 실시하였다. 가스하이드레이트 실증 사례에 대한 분석 결과, 기술융합 이론은 기존의 큰 기술범주뿐만 아니라 작은 범주에도 적용할 수 있으며, 필요성과 적용가능성, 실효성 면에서도 충분한 고찰을 통해 기술융합 이론의 적용 범위를 좁히면 더 많은 연구와 융합기술을 얻을 수 있다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다.

In this study, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of wet tissue manufacturing process was performed. The wet tissue manufacturing process consists of preparation of wetting agent (chemical liquid), impregnation of nonwoven fabric into wetting agent and primary and secondary packaging. Data and information were collected on the input and output of the actual process from a certain company and the database of the Korea Ministry of Environment and some foreign countries (when Korean unavailable) were employed to connect the upper and the lower process flow. Based on the above and the potential environmental impacts of the wet tissue manufacturing process were calculated. As a result of the characterization, Ozone Layer Depletion (OD) is 3.46.E-06 kg $CFC_{11}$, Acidification (AD) is 5.11.E-01 kg $SO_2$, Abiotic Resource Depletion (ARD) is $3.52.E+00\;1yr^{-1}$, Global Warming (GW) is 1.04.E+02 kg $CO_2$, Eutrophication (EUT) is 2.31.E-02 kg ${PO_4}^{3-}$, Photochemical Oxide Creation (POC) was 2.22.E-02 kg $C_2H_4$, Human Toxicity (HT) was 1.55.E+00 kg 1,4 DCB and Terrestrial Ecotoxicity (ET) was 5.82.E-04 kg 1,4 DCB. In order to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process, it is necessary to improve the overall process as other general cases and change the raw materials including packaging materials with less environmental impact. Conclusively, the energy consumed in the manufacturing process has emerged as a major issue, and this needs to be reconsidered other options such as alternative energy. Therefore, it is recommended that a process system should be redesigned to improve energy efficiency and to change to an energy source with lower environmental impact. Due to the nature of LCA, the final results of this study can be varied to some extent depending on the type of LCI DB employed and may not represent of all wet tissue manufacturing processes in the current industry.
