계층구조 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 센서노드들이 클러스터를 형성하여 계층구조를 가지고 클러스터 노드간의 균등한 에너지 소모에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 네트워크 형성시 라우팅 경로가 올바르게 설정되지 못할 경우 에너지가 낭비된다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 센서수신범위를 고려하여 최소홉 레이어를 만들고 클러스터를 구성하여 각 클러스터 헤드가 최소홉 레이어를 기반으로 하여 라우팅 경로를 설정 할 수 있는 클러스터 구성 알고리즘을 제안한다.

센서 네트워크에서는 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위해 다양한 계층적 클러스터링 방법이 제안되었다. 그러나 대부분의 연구에서 나타나는 문제점은 노드의 실제 배치를 생각하지 않고 일방적인 그리드 형태의 구조 또는 무작위 적인 클러스터 구조를 구성하는 것이다. 이렇게 구성된 클러스터는 클러스터의 크기와 포함된 노드의 수가 불균형하기 때문에 큰 에너지 효율을 보이기 힘들다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 실제 노드들이 배치가 된 후 R-Tree의 노드 분할 및 병합 알고리즘에 착안하여 보다 더 효율적인 클러스터를 구성할 수 있는 방법인 CSM(Clustering using Split & Merge algorithm)을 제안한다. 다양한 실험결과 CSM은 기존 방법보다 에너지 효율적인 클러스터링을 생성함으로써 최대 1.6배의 에너지 효율을 보였다.

Efficient rendezvous node selection and routing algorithm (RNSRA) for wireless sensor networks with mobile sink that visits rendezvous node to gather data from sensor nodes is proposed. In order to plan an optimal moving tour for mobile sink and avoid energy hole problem, we develop the RNSRA to find optimal rendezvous nodes (RN) for the mobile sink to visit. The RNSRA can select the set of RNs to act as store points for the mobile sink, and search for the optimal multi-hop path between source nodes and rendezvous node, so that the rendezvous node could gather information from sensor nodes periodically. Fitness function with several factors is calculated to find suitable RNs from sensor nodes, and the artificial bee colony optimization algorithm (ABC) is used to optimize the selection of optimal multi-hop path, in order to forward data to the nearest RN. Therefore the energy consumption of sensor nodes is minimized and balanced. Our method is validated by extensive simulations and illustrates the novel capability for maintaining the network robustness against sink moving problem, the results show that the RNSRA could reduce energy consumption by 6% and increase network lifetime by 5% as comparing with several existing algorithms.

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling sensor activity to prolong the network lifetime while guaranteeing both discrete target coverage and connectivity among all the active sensors and the sink, called connected target coverage (CTC) problem. We proposed a distributed scheme called Distributed Lifetime-Maximizing Scheme (DLMS) to solve the CTC problem. Our proposed scheme significantly reduces the cost of the construction of the connected cover graphs in comparison with the some conventional schemes. In addition, the energy consumption is more balanced so that the network lifetime will be increased. Our simulation results show that DLMS scheme performs much better than the conventional schemes in terms of the network lifetime.

A scheme is proposed to generate triangular waveforms with alterable symmetry. The key component is a cascaded single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (SD-MZM) and optical polarization beam splitter-combiner architecture. In this triangular waveform generator, the bias-induced phase shift, modulation index and controllable delay difference are changeable. To generate triangular waveform signals with different symmetry indexes, different combinations of these variables are selected. Compared with the previous schemes, this generator just contains one SD-MZM and the balanced photodetector (BPD) is not needed, which means the costs and energy consumption are significantly reduced. The operation principle of this triangular waveform generator has been theoretically analyzed, and the corresponding simulation is conducted. Based on the theoretical and simulated results, some experiments are demonstrated to prove the validity of the scheme. The triangular waveform signals with a symmetry factor range of 20-80% are generated. Both experiment and theory prove the feasibility of this method.

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of nutrition counseling on the dietary intake and nutritional status cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. The study was conducted over 6 week period and included 104 patients : 66 received nutrition counseling as the variable group of 42 male and 24 female and 38 patients received no counseling as the control group of 19 male and 19 female. Nutrition counseling was accompanied with the radiation therapy and adminstered via counseling session and distribution of printed material during radiation therapy for 6 weeks. Nutrition counseling aimed at maintaining a balanced diet and preventing weight loss of subjects, guideline used for energy and protein intake were 35kcal/kg IBW and 1.5-2.0g/kg IBW, respectively. Over the course of the study, the counseling group increased significantly in comparison to the control group's energy intake, evidenced by the counseling group's initial mean daily energy intake of 1932.0kcal, and 4 and 6 week mean energy intake values of 2046.6kcal, 2066kcal, respectively. But mean energy values of control group was 1614.3kcal at 4 week. Th energy intake per weight values and protein intake per weight values for initial, 4 and 6 week intervals for counseling group were 33.2kcal/kg, 33.7kcal/kg, 34.0kcal/kg, and 1.48g/kg, 1.58g/kg, 1.59g/kg, respectively. Based on results, nutrition counseling had positive effects on both the variety of diet and energy intake of the variable group, mostly due to an increase in dairy product and egg consumption. In addition, the percentage of counseling group patients who consumed all 5 food group increased from 48.5% to 54.5%. Sufficient energy intake and protein consumption seem to be important factors in weight loss prevention, evidenced by weight gain by subjects in the counseling group who had 36.1kcal/kg/day mean energy intake and 1.77g/kg/day mean protein intake after 4 weeks. Counseling group subjects experiencing weight loss had lower intake and 1.77g/kg/day mean protein intake after 3 weeks. Counseling group subjects experiencing weight loss had lower intakes of 29.3kcal/kg/day for energy and 1.33g/kg/day for protein during the same period. Another significant factor in weight loss prevention of the counseling group could be the variety of diet. The dietary variety scores(DVS) of both counseling and control groups differed significantly : the counseling group had a mean score of 34 while the control group of patients. At the end of the study, the mean percentage of subjects within each group having a DDS 5 was higher in the counseling group (54.5% v.s. 24.0%). In this study, nutrition counseling for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy proved to be effective in preventing weight loss, a major complication during radiotherapy. Nutrition counseling not only increased protein and energy intake, but also had desirable effects on variety or diversity of diet.

Although flounder is one of the most important marine fish for aquaculture in Korea, feeding the flounder in commercial farms depends mainly on moist pellet in which over 70% frozen fishes (e.g. frozen horse mackerel) are incorporated in its formulation. Therefore, for further expansion of flounder farming, it is essential to employ practical formulated feeds that can support reasonable growth. Development of nutritionally balanced and cost-effective feeds is dependant on the information about nutritional requirement and feed utilization of the species. Nutrient and energy source in feed are needed for the growth and maintenance of fish. Protein is probably the most important nutrient affecting fish growth and feed cost. Therefore, it is essential to determine the optimum dietary protein level for the growth of fish, both its high proportion in the feed and because it is the main factor in determining feed cost. Dietary energy level is also critical because protein source in the feed is utilized as an energy source when the feed deficient in energy is fed to fish, whereas when the feed excess in energy is fed to fish, feed consumption decreased and resulted in growth reduction due to lack of other necessary nutrients for normal growth. Improper dietary protein, energy levels and/or their ratio will lead to an increase of fish production cost and deterioration of water quality resulting from wasted feed; thus, they are important in formulating commercial feed. Dietary lipids play important roles in providing energy and essential fatty acid for normal growth and survival of fish. Although carbohydrates are not essential nutrients for carnivorous fish, these compounds play important roles as a low-cost energy source for protein sparing and also as a feed binder. Nutrition researches for flounder have identified its requirements of protein, lipid and essential fatty acid, vitamin, and minerals for normal growth. Other studies have also been carried out to investigate the utilization of the protein, lipid and carbohydrate sources. Based on these nutritional information obtained, practical feed formulations have been studied for improve aquaculture production of flounder. The results of the researches on utilization of dietary protein, lipid and carbohydrate by flounder are discussed in this review.

에너지 수확 모바일 센서 망에서 센서 노드간의 듀티-사이클 동기화는 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하여 협력해야 하기 때문에 각 노드의 듀티-사이클이 서로 유사하게 동작되어야 한다. 이때 망을 구성하는 노드분포는 노드간의 연결뿐만 아니라 동기화에 의한 노드의 활동 시간, 그리고 망의 수명에 영향을 준다. 본 논문에서는 자기-동기화 듀티-사이클 기법을 적용한 에너지 수확 모바일 센서 망에서 망의 토폴로지를 변화시킨다. 단순 랜덤 토폴로지 망보다는 망이 담당하는 영역과 노드 밀집도에 따라서 노드의 분포를 균일하게 유지하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시된 토폴로지 변환 알고리즘을 위하여 유체 흐름과 군집 분산 모델을 적용하고 에이전트 기반 모델링을 이용하여 성능분석을 시행한다. 또한 제안된 알고리즘을 자기-동기화 듀티-사이클 기반 모바일 센서 망에 적용하여 노드 간 동기화 특성이 강화되고 에너지 소비 편차의 감소를 확인한다.

동적으로 연결되어 자치적인 네트워크 망을 형성하는 에드 혹 네트워크에서는 이동 단말들이 협업하여 기지국의 도움 없이 망을 형성하며 제한된 에너지 자원을 가지고 있다. 네트워크를 구성하는 단말기들은 라우터 역할을 수행하므로 잦은 데이터 전송 등에 의해 에너지가 고갈되면 라우터 수가 감소하게 되어, 전체 네트워크는 통신 장애를 초래하게 되며 네트워크 수명이 단축될 수 있다. 그러므로, 네트워크 수명을 최대화 하기위해 이동 호스트들의 균형있는 에너지의 소모에 관한 문제는 라우팅에 있어서 중요한 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 지역 정보를 이용하여 라우팅 경로를 형성하고 경로 탐색에 대한 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있는 위치 기반 지역적 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 전송 에너지, 링크 에러율, 각 노드의 잔여 에너지 등을 고려하여 다음 이웃 노드를 선택하여 경로를 형성하므로 노드들 간의 균형된 에너지 소비를 가능하게 하여 네트워크 수명을 연장시킬 수 있는 방법이다.

To assess the dietary therapy compliance of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients living in Daegu, we evaluated diet adequacy levels by index of nutritional quality (INQ), nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR), mean adequacy ratio (MAR), and dietary variety score (DVS) with food exchange system and Korean recommended dietary allowances (KRDA). One day dietary intake was measured by 24 hour recall method for 229 subjects over 20 years of age. Average daily energy intake was 1444 kcal. The relative ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat in terms of energy intake was 69.4：14.5：16.0. The nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) for Vitamin A, B$_2$, calcium were lower than 0.5 and MAR was 0.65. It appeared that the consumption of each food group as compared to prescribed food exchange unit was insufficient, in the order of dairy group (10.2 $\pm$ 25.2%), fruits group (58.2 $\pm$ 71.2%) and oils & fats group (42.9 $\pm$ 42.0%). The dietary variety score (DVS) was evaluated as an useful tool for diabetes' meal management when we accept minimum intake as 0.3 of food exchange unit. We found significant correlation between food groups and anthropometric indices: cereals group and % total body fat (r = 0.251, p < 0.01), meat group and waist circumference (r = 0.241, p < 0.01), vegetables group and WHR(r = 0.139, p < 0.05), and oils poop and WHR(r = 0.165, p < 0.05). from these results, we concluded that overall status of dietary intake of NIDDM patients in Daegu area was insufficient not only in quality but also in quantity. It is suggested that nutrition education for NIDDM patients should stress on balanced food consumption to meet proscribed amount by six food group to improve the inadequacy of dietary status.
