Nitrogen oxide(NOx) is a major cause of air pollution, exists in the form of nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, and is harmful to the human body. Recently, a number of studies to reduce NOx in the atmosphere have been conducted, and these efforts have been the same in the field of construction materials. It is known that NOx can be efficiently removed by using a photocatalytic reaction. In this study, the NOx removal performance of the foam composite using activated carbon(AC) and titanium dioxide(TiO₂) was investigated. AC was used to enhance the photocatalytic reaction of TiO₂ by increasing the internal specific surface area of the foam composite. In this study, foam composites were prepared using the substitution rate of AC as the main variable. The NOx removal performance of specimen was evaluated according to the test method presented in ISO-22197-1. The specific surface area of the foam composite showed a tendency to increase according to the AC content, but decreased at 15% or more. Also, when the AC substitution rate was 15%, the NOx removal efficiency was the highest.

A lot of conventional algorithms has tried to cancel the Residual Frame Synchronization Error (RFSE), which causes the performance degradation of channel estimation when using interpolation in lattice-type pilot-aided Time Division Duplex (TDD) OFDM systems. Among them, a pre- and post-compensation method has been attractive to eliminate the effects of RFSE, providing good performance but requiring high computational complexity. In this paper we propose a new method which lowers computational costs by adjusting the starting point of TDD OFDM systems' FFT window in order to compensate for the RFSE. For the performance verification, we apply the proposed method to IEEE 802.16e standard and also estimate additionally required computational power of it compared to the pre- and post-compensation method. Simulation and implementation results show that the proposed algorithm has performance similar to the conventional method and is very efficient with low power implementation, requiring only 4.9 % of the power which the conventional method needs additionally.

In this paper, we propose the multi-channel interference cancellation algorithm for visible light communication (VLC) in smart building. The VLC system is communication technology using visible rays that come out in Light Emitting Diode (LED) device. It has energy curtailment effect and possible to use in ubiquitous network service applications. When a large number of users communicate indoors, the performance can be reduced due to channel interference. To remove interference, at the first, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) scheme as interference cancellation methods used, and then the successive interference cancellation (SIC) is applied to obtain additional diversity gain and improve interference cancellation performance. Indoor VLC channel model is employed. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme has better BER performance compared to the previous systems. As a result, the proposed interference cancellation improves the signal quality of VLC systems by effectively removing the channel noise. The results of the paper can be applied to VLC for smart building and general communication systems.

In this paper, detection based - adaptive windowed nonlinear filters(DB-AWNF) are proposed for removing one-side impulse noise in infrared image. They are composed of impulse detector and window-size-variable median filters. Impulse detector checks whether current pixel is impulse or not using range function and nonlinear location estimator. If impulse is detected, current pixel is filtered according to four kinds of local masks by use of median filter. If not. current pixel is delivered to output like identity filter. In qualitative view, the proposed could have removed heavy corrupted noise up to $20\%$ and reserved the details of image. In quantitative view, PSNR was measured. The proposed could have 13 - 31[dB] more improved performance than those of median($3{\times}3$) filter and 18 - 25[dB] more improved performance than those of median($5{\times}5$) filter.

In this study, we evaluated the mechanical properties and nitrogen oxides removal characteristics according to the type and incorporation rate of the photocatalyst and investigated the method of separated placement for the production of economical and efficient photocatalyst concrete. As a result, when the photocatalyst incorporation rate was 5%, the highest compressive strength and elastic modulus were measured. As a result of evaluating the nitrogen oxides removal performance by the photocatalytic reaction, as the photocatalyst incorporation rate increased, the nitrogen oxide removal rate increased. At this time, the nitrogen oxides removal performance of photocatalyst P-25 was better than the NP-A. In consideration of economic efficiency, we have provided a method of separated placement for casting a constant thickness of concrete surface with photocatalyst concrete and evaluated the integrated performance at this time. As a result, it appears to be equal to or higher than mechanical performance and durability performance as compared with Plain, and it is judged that the integrated behavior is satisfied.

We propose multistage parallel nulling (MPN) partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC) receiver for downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier (MC)-code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Though the V-BLAST is a popular MIMO receiver, it shows error floor for multiuser downlink MIMO MC-CDMA systems. The proposed MPN-PPIC receiver does not produce error floor for multiuser case, and achieves substantial performance gains with multistage processing. For single user case, the proposed method also surpasses the V-BLAST receiver with multistage processing for MIMO MC-CDMA systems with chip level interleaving. The system performance of the proposed MPN-PPIC receiver is evaluated through computer simulations.

TE 와 NT 의 신호의 검출을 위해 자기의 확산코드와 정합된 단일 사용자 검출기를 사용할 수 있으나, 검출하려는 신호와 다른 사용자 신호간의 다원접속간섭(Multiple Access Interference)에 의해 시스템의 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 다원접속간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 최소평균제곱오차 (Minimum Mean Squared Error) 다중사용자 간섭제거기를 사용하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 성능을 분석한다.

중수속의 삼중수소 제거 공정인 액상 촉매 교환 반응에서 중수의 촉매 표면 응축에 의한 성능 저하가 큰 문제의 하나로서 성능 저하를 감소시키기 위한 여러 가지 형태의 촉매탑이 고안 되었다. 본 연구에서는 membrane을 사용하여 중수와 촉매를 분리시킴으로써 촉매 성능 저하를 감소시킬 수 있는 촉매탑의 설계를 시도하였다. 세 가지 촉매탑이 고안되었는데 sheet type의 membrane을 사용한 multilayered type 과 double spiral type, hollow fiber membrane을 사용한 hollow fiber cartridge type 등이다. multilayered type은 구조가 단순하여 scale-up이 용이하고 double spiral type은 다른 type보다 유로의 blocking 문제가 작고 hollow fiber cartridge type은 최대의 비표면적을 가질 수 있다.
