Draft ice in polar regions is formed due to sea level changes and various environmental factors cause damage due to collision with offshore plants and ships for resource development. Drift ice in polar regions is a potential source of accidents for offshore plants that perform long-term operations in one place, as well as on the ship. To prevent accidents with drift ice, offshore plants and ships in polar regions use satellite image information and detection radar to detect drift ice. However, the inability to use visible satellite images at night significantly lowers the detection probability by radar for small drift ice. In this study, we used a thermal imaging system which can be operated day and night for the detection of drift ice, and carried out an experimental study on the detection characteristics of drift ice. To examine the night operation of the thermal imaging system, the experimental condition was set and the thermal image was measured according to the measurement angle change. Under this condition, the correlation was analyzed by theoretical calculating the radiant energy of the drift ice and the sea water.

본 연구에서는 금강의 하류부의 시간적 공간적 수질변화를 자세하게 분석하기 위하여 3차원 수리동역학 모델인 EFDC 와 비정상상태 수질모델인 WASP 7.2와 를 연계 적용하였다. 본 연구의 대상 구간은 금강하류 부중 대청댐 조절지 방류구 지점부터 공주의 정안천 유입 직전까지 총 48km의 구간이다. 하천의 수심별 수질은 일정하다고 가정하였으나 폭방향의 수질은 좌 중 우로 3개의 소구간으로 나누고 하천의 흐름 방향으로 나누어 전체적으로는 2차원적으로 구분하였다. 하천의 바닥 형상을 이용하여 모델 격자를 구성하였으며 수리모델은 건교부의 수위자료를 이용하여 보정하였고 수질자료는 환경부의 수질측정망 자료를 이용하여 보정하였다. 2차원 수리동역학-수질 연계모델링 결과, 대전 갑천이 유입되고 난 후의 청원지점에서 그리고 청주지역의 영향을 포함하는 미호천이 유입되고 난 연기 지점 그리고 본 연구의 최하류인 공주지점에서는 하천의 폭 방향으로 상당한 수질 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 대전 갑천 또는 청주 미호천 등이 유입된 이후 효과적으로 혼합되지 않는다는 것을 의미한다. 이는 해당지역의 수질시료 채취 위치에 따라 수질에 현격한 차이가 있을 수 있다는 것을 나타내며, 현재 환경부 수동측정망의 시료채취 방법을 고려하여 볼때 하천수질의 대표성을 나타낼 수 있는가 하는 문제의 차원에서 매우 심각하게 받아들여져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 한편, 현재 우리나라에서 시행되고 있는 오염총량관리제나 대부분의 환경영향평가에서는 하천의 폭 방향의 수질 차이에 대한 고려가 전무하며 이에 대한 전면적인 재검토가 시급하다고 판단된다.

Chemical terrorism using toxic and flammable gases, which could be fatal to the health of the human body, poses a serious threat to the security of most advanced countries, as well as those that are suffering from local disputes, due to the asymmetric information that exists between terrorist actors and victims. The countermeasures against chemical terrorism can be roughly divided into three stages: prevention, response, and probation. The critical factors for each professional response agency, and the personnel that determine the degree and range of chemical terrorism damage, are performing missions successfully in the process of the prevention and the response stage against chemical terrorism. To do this, conducting objective and systematical assessments on facilities that could potentially be the subject of chemical terrorism is more important than anything. In this study, we compared the existing domestic and foreign vulnerable classification systems for chemical terrorism, reviewed the current direction of improvement in domestic classification systems, and suggested more scientific and systematic methodologies through the vulnerability assessment on an actual public facility sample.

A discussion on false alarm is a series of problems about a waste of police resources. The the false alarm primarily increase machine the cost of security firm but ultimately increase the costs of national and social management. Verified Report System has been in operation since July 1, 2013, We could analyze the actual operation of 112 report on false alarm rate was 82.4% before this system launched, but after implementation of the Verified Report System, this rate level downs below 69.7% records. So 12.7% is declined at the rate of false alarm. However, the actual alarm rate of Electronic Security itself is just only 0.3 % in the total number of cases responding in contrast to Police is considerable. It is more urgent to evolve the Verified Report System, so penalty system against the false alarm, Police registration system of sensors, and strengthening of the task of the company for installation and management of detection equipment are urgently needed.

In this study, chlorine modeling technique based on fuzzy system is proposed to reduce the carcinogenic substance and decide the optimal chlorine injection rate, which is affected by chlorine evaporation rate in sedimentation basin according to detention time, weather and water quality. The additional chlorine meter is installed in the inlet part of sedimentation to reduce the feedback time and implement cascade control, which leads to maintaining the residual chlorine concentration decided by fuzzy rule. It helps to take a preemptive action about long time delay, the characteristics of the disinfection process, and reduce the variation of residual chlorine rate by 7.3 times and the chlorine consumption by 40,000 dollars. It made a significant contribution to supply hygienically safe drinking water.

This article proposes a new pedestrian avoidance algorithm for social robots that coexist and communicate with humans and do not induce stress caused by invasion of psychological safety distance(Social Distance). To redefine the pedestrian model, pedestrians are clustered according to the pedestrian's gait characteristics(straightness, speed) and a social distance is defined for each pedestrian cluster. After modeling pedestrians(obstacles) with the social distances, integrated navigation algorithm is completed by applying the newly defined pedestrian model to commercial obstacle avoidance and path planning algorithms. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, two commercial obstacle avoidance & path planning algorithms(the Dynamic Window Approach (DWA) algorithm and the Timed Elastic Bands (TEB) algorithm) are used. Four cases were experimented in applying and non-applying the new pedestrian model, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the stress index of pedestrians without loss of traveling time.

An effective allocation of requested number of processors to newly incoming tasks in two-dimensional (2D) mesh interconnection networks is very important for achieving the desired high performance and resource utilization. It also needs to guarantee the complete recognition of the free submeshes based on contiguous and available processors with minimum overhead. An efficient task allocation algorithm for 2D meshes is presented in this paper. By employing a new approach for searching the one-dimensional array, the proposed algorithm can find the available submesh without the scanning of the entire 2D array unlike earlier designs. As a result, the new algorithm can significantly reduce the task allocation time. Comprehensive computer simulation shows that the average allocation time and waiting delay are much smaller than earlier irrespective of the size of meshes. The hardware overhead is comparable to other algorithms.

In this paper, performance of RS (Reed-Solomon), turbo and LDPC (low density parity check) code in the binary symmetric erasure channel is investigated. When the average erasure length is reduced, the frequency of short erasures is increased. The RS code shows serious performance degradation in such an environment since decoding is carried out symbol-by-symbol. As the erasure length is increased, however, the RS code shows much improved en-or performance. On the other hand, the message and corresponding parity symbols of the turbo code can be erased at the same time for the long erasures. Accordingly, iterative decoding of the turbo code can not improve error performance any more for such a long erasure. The LDPC code shows little difference in error performance with respect to the variation of the average erasure length due to the virtual interleaving effect. As a result, the LDPC code has much better erasure decoding performance than the RS and turbo code.

Because of the lack of translation invariance of wavelet basis, traditional wavelet thresholding denoising leads to pseudo-Gibbs phenomena in the vicinity of discontinuities of signal. In this paper, in order to reduce the pseudo-Gibbs phenomena, wavelet coefficients are thresholded and reconstruction algorithm is implemented through minimizing the total variation of denoising signal using subgradient descent algorithm. Most of experiments were performed under the non-real-time and real-time environments. In the case of non-real-time experiments, the algorithm that this paper proposes was found more effective than that of wavelet hard thresholding denoising by 2.794㏈(SNR) based on the signal to noise ratio. And lots of pseudo-Gibbs phenomena was removed visually in the vicinity of discontinuities. In the case of real-time experiments, the number of iteration was restricted to 60 times considering the performance time. It took 0.49 seconds and most of the pseudo-Gibbs phenomena were also removed.

In order to maximize spectrum efficiency and data rate MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) is adopted to wireless system. OFDM-based WiMAX and LTE accommodate MIMO as mandatory technology. STC(Space Time Coding) and SM(Spatial Multiplexing) are used in downlink while in uplink C-MIMO(Collaborative MIMO) is used to improve data throughput. In this paper conventional pairing schemes, RPS(Random Pairing Scheduling) and DPS(Determinant Pairing Scheduling) are analyzed. From the analysis the performance of DPS algorithm is better than that of RPS because DPS measures orthogonal factor between paired users. However, there are potential problems such as hardware complexity and performance. To overcome the issues Power-Based Scheduling(PBS) algorithm is proposed for C-MIMO. PBS can provide higher performance compared to RPS and dramatically reduce hardware complexity compared to DPS
