Finding an energy efficient route is one of the very important issues in the wireless sensor networks. The route scheme should consider both of the energy level of sensor nodes and the number of hops at the same time. First of all, this paper proposes an optimum routes finding scheme (ORFS), which could be used in the sensor network routing protocols. The scheme uses an optimum value for the path with the considerations of both the minimum energy level of a path and the number of hops at the same time. After that, this paper proposes a routing protocol based on the ORFS for how it could be used for the multipath directed diffusion with data aggregation (MDD-A), to get the better energy efficiency. The analysis result shows that the proposed routing protocol could lengthen the network life cycle about 18.7% compared to the previous MDD-A related protocols.

A multi-level optimal power flow(OPF) algorithm has been evolved from a simple two stage optimal Power flow algorithm for constrained power economic dispatch control. In the proposed algorithm, we consider various constraints such as ower balance, generation capacity, transmission line capacity, transmission losses, security equality, and security inequality constraints. The proposed algorithm consists of four stages. At the first stage, we solve the aggregated problem that is the crude classical economic dispatch problem without considering transmission losses. An initial solution is obtained by the aggregation concept in which the solution satisfies the power balance equations and generation capacity constraints. Then, after load flow analysis, the transmission losses of an initial generation setting are matched by the slack bus generator that produces power with the cheapest cost. At the second stage we consider transmission losses. Formulation of the second stage becomes classical economic dispatch problem involving the transmission losses, which are distributed to all generators. Once a feasible solution is obtained from the second stage, transmission capacity and other violations are checked and corrected locally and quickly at the third stage. The fourth stage fine tunes the solution of the third stage to reach a real minimum. The proposed approach speeds up the two stage optimization method to an average gain of 2.99 for IEEE 30, 57, and 118 bus systems and EPRI Scenario systems A through D testings.

In this article we address some system characteristics and challenging issues in developing Context-aware Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing. The functionalities of a Context-aware Middleware includes gathering context data from hardware/software sensors, reasoning and inferring high-level context data, and disseminating/delivering appropriate context data to interested applications/services. The Middleware should facilitate the query, aggregation, and discovery for the contexts, as well as facilities to specify their privacy policy. Following a formal context model using ontology would enable syntactic and semantic interoperability, and knowledge sharing between different domains. Moddleware should also provide different kinds of context classification mechanical as pluggable modules, including rules written in different types of logic (first order logic, description logic, temporal/spatial logic, fuzzy logic, etc.) as well as machine-learning mechanical (supervised and unsupervised classifiers). Different mechanisms have different power, expressiveness and decidability properties, and system developers can choose the appropriate mechanism that best meets the reasoning requirements of each context. And finally, to promote the context-trigger actions in application level, it is important to provide a uniform and platform-independent interface for applications to express their need for different context data without knowing how that data is acquired. The action could involve adapting to the new environment, notifying the user, communicating with another device to exchange information, or performing any other task.

Carcinogenic potential of HPV-16 DNA and NNK in a human keratinocyte cell line was assessed to study effects of viral-chemical interaction. Human cells were transfected with HPV-16 DNA and 6 clonal cell lines were subsequently obtained. Clonal line-3 and 6 at passage 7 showed characteristics of tumor cells such as increases of saturation density, soft-agar colony formation, cell aggregation and foci appearance. Among cells treated with 1$\mu M$, 10$\mu M$, 100$\mu M$ or 1 mM of NNK for 4 weeks, 100$\mu M$ treatment showed most tumorigenic characteristics at passage 7. These results indicate that either HPV-16 or NNK alone is tumorigenic in this in human in vitro model. When cells transfected with HPV-16 were subsequently exposed by 100 uM NNK for 4 weeks, all the clonal cells except clone-1 showed higher levels of tumor cell characteristics than HPV-16 DNA or NNK exposure alone. Clonal line-6, the most tumorigenic cells, showed higher transcriptional level of fibronectin and lower level of TGF-$\beta_1$, as compared to control cells, suggesting that alteration of growth factor or extracellular matrix may play a role in carcinogenesis process induced by HPV-16 and NNK. Taken together, the present study indicates that viral-chemical interactions between HPV-16 DNA and NNK enhance carcinogenic potentials of human cells and implies that smoking among people infected with human papillomavirus may pose an additional risk of causing cancer.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 실현하기 위하여 자동식별, 센서 네트워크, 홈 네트워크, 텔레매틱스 등 다양한 분야에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 RFID 기술을 이용한 레거시 시스템과의 통합 및 데이터 수집, 장치 제어, 관리 등을 위하여 RFID 미들웨어의 중요성에 대한 인식이 확산되고 있다. 이에 발맞추어 EPCglobal에서는 기존의 Savant를 대체하는 개념으로서 RFID 하드웨어와 응용 사이에 존재하는 ALE(Application Level Events) 표준 스펙을 정 의하였다. 이는 레이어의 내부 구조 및 구현 기술 등은 명시하지 않고 오직 외부 인터페이스만을 정의함으로써 향후 상호 운용성 및 표준 적합성 검증을 용이하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 ALE 스펙에 기반하여 RFID 태그 데이터를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 RFID 미들웨어 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of IPv6 LAN. The legacy protocol for Internet is IPv4(IP version 4). The ability of IPv4 is not enough for modern real time multimedia communication services. So IPv6(IP version 6) protocol was suggested to resolve the problems of IPv4. We implemented IPv6 LAN using sTLA(sub Top Level Aggregation identifier) address and KOREN(KOrea Research and Experimental Network). Our IPv6 LAN is connected with 6TAP(Chicago), WIDE(Tokyo), and SingAREN(Singapore). We used a dedicated router, Windows 2000 PC host FreeBSD PC host, Solaris 7 workstation and Solaris 8 workstation for IPv6 NDP(Neighbor Discovery Protocol) protocol test. To support all data services including voice and video, IP protocol should be enhanced because the characteristics of modern network services are requiring QoS(Quality of Service) functions, auto-configuration, security, mobility and so on. So a new IP protocol, IPv6, has been developing to meet the requirements. In this paper, we introduce the implementation method and configuration information of IPv6 LAN.

The fixation of reactive dyes onto cotton fabrics by means of dry heat treatment was examined in terms of water regain in fabrics. Dye liquors were applied to fabrics by ink-jet printer. The fixation strongly depended on water regain. At certain level of water regain the fixation showed stepwise increase. After this point the fixation reached to saturated value. The observed results were interpreted by the aggregation behavior of dyes and reactivity of hydroxyl group of cellulose depending on the amount of the surrounding water molecules. Urea molecules played a role of water at low water regain to increase the fixation.

Census data are usually provided at an aggregated level. However, the aggregated data are essentially arbitrary geographical areas. The areal units used to report census data have no natural or meaningful geographical identity. Unfortunately, this means that analyses of these area aggregations may be conditional upon the set of zones, which are presented. This effect is known as the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) and has two related aspects. First, scale effect is the variation in numerical results that occurs due to the number of zones used in an analysis. Second, results may also differ between different ways of aggregating exactly the same data to the same scale; this may be called the aggregation effect (Openshaw, 1984). This study aims to provide a practical tool for the study of MAUP. I have created a set of 91 areal units based on 280 basic units in Nonhyun-2 dong to solve zoning problem and scale problem. We can easily recognize the importance of areal classification as statistics were different according to areal classification.

This study overviews existing evaluation methods of classification accuracy using confusion matrix proposed by Cohen in 1960's, and proposes ISDd(Index of Spatial Distribution by distance) and ISDs(Index of Spatial Distribution by scatteredness) for the evaluation of spatial distribution of satellite image classification errors, which has not been tried yet. Index of spatial distribution offers the basis of decision on adoption/rejection of classification results at sub-image level by evaluation of distribution, such as status of local aggregation of misclassified pixels. So, users can understand the spatial distribution of misclassified pixels and, can have the basis of judgement of suitability and reliability of classification results.
