This study conducts economic evaluation of alternatives for $CO_2$ reduction of thermal power plants. Two alternatives in reducing $CO_2$ emission are considered for the evaluation under the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) system; one is to perform renewable energy quotas and another is to construct green thermal power plants using CCS(Carbon Capture and Sequestration). As evaluation methods, DCF(Discount Cash Flow) and ROPM(Real Options Pricing Method) are employed. At a discount rate of 7.5% applied to the Electricity Supply and Demand Plan, it is shown that green thermal power generation has economic dominance under both evaluation methods.

The relationship between grain yield. protein content and sedimentation value in wheat were studied using 9 varieties cultivated at 8 locations in Korea. The grain yields of wheat varied widely, according to varieties and locations. Negative correlations between grain yield and protein content, and grain yield and sedimentation value were observed, while a positive correlation between protein content and sedimentation value was observed. Specific sedimentation values of soft wheats were below 4, while those of hard wheats were above 5. The intermediate varieties had sedimentation values of 4-5. This showed that specific sedimentation values could be used as a criterion in the classification of wheat quality.

가압경수로의 압력경계기기는 약 $300^{\circ}C$, 150기압의 고온고압수환경에서 가동되고 있다. 특히 가압기 밀림관은 고온수와, 저온수가 교차하는 부분으로 열성층 형성으로 열적, 기계적 피로 및 수화학환경이 더해진 부식피로 등에 의하여 손상을 받는다. PWR 원전에서 수화학환경은 대표적으로 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, pH 6~8, 용존수소(DH) <30 cc/kg, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$의 환경을 유지하게 된다. 가압기 밀림관에는 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강이 사용되는데, 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 고온 수화학환경에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 오스테나이트계 스테인리강을 공기중에서의 기계적특성 및 피로특성을 향상시키기 위하여 질소를 첨가한 스테인리스강을 제조하여 PWR 원전환경에서의 피로균열성장특성을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 재료는 PWR 원전 가압기 밀림관 소재인 Type 347 스테인리스강에 0.0005 wt%가 첨가된 상용재와 0.11 wt% 질소가 첨가된 재료이다. 사용된 시편형상은 두께 5 mm, 폭 25.4 mm의 CT 시편이다. 수화학환경은 150기압, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$, 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, 용존수소(DH) 30 cc/Kg, pH는 약 7로 유지 하였으며, 응력비 0.1, 하중 반복속도 10Hz의 기계적 조건에서 하중제어로 시험을 진행하였다. 균열길이는 직류전위차법(Direct Current Potential Drop: DCPD)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 질소함량이 증가할수록 동일 사이클에서 균열길이가 늦게 성장하였고, 피로균열성장속도도 약간 늦어지는 것으로 나타났다. 각 스테인리스강의 피로파면 관찰결과 상용재는 약 1 ${\mu}m$의 산화물들이 생성되는 반면 질소첨가 스테인리스강은 약 0.1 ${\mu}m$정도 산화물이 생성되었다. 산화막의 두께도 질소가 첨가됨으로써 상용재에 비해 얇게 생성되었다. 따라서 질소가 첨가됨으로써 부식환경에서 내산화성이 향상되었으며, 이는 피로균열성장특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

For the sensor node or collection node operating with a battery in a wireless sensor network, MAC protocols with improved energy efficiency are important performance factors. In this paper, in order to improve the restrictive capability in accordance with the fixed activity period of the duty cycle technology in the MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks, we propose a periodic adaptive wakeup technique based on receive prediction. The proposed technique is through a performance evaluation using the CC2500 RF transceiver and C8051F330 microcontroller based wireless node, to analyze the minimum active period. As a result, it was confirmed that it is possible to improve energy efficiency by adaptively changing the sleep period in accordance with the change of period.

Hydrogen energy, a field of low-carbon substitute energy, can be produced by fossile fuel reforming and electrolysis of water etc. We developed 1kW class flat type reformer for PEM Fuel Cells. The PEMFC is highly sensitive to carbon monoxide because CO has detrimental effects on the performance of the fuel cell. Thus, reformed gas supplied to Fuel cell system, which maintained CO concentration below 10ppm. After applying optimum drive condition, reformed gas was measured with gas chromatography and could find out about each experimental condition of $H_2$ and CO concentration. As a results, The 1kW class plate type hydrogen generation system's optimum condition is A/F ratio ${\alpha}=1.3$, STR temperature 1023K, S/C ratio 3, and $PrOx1{\cdot}2$ 30cc/min. It turns out that installation of PrOx 2 stage is more efficient for reducing CO concentration.

In this paper, planar duplexer module combined with power amplifier is described. This new scheme is to enhance power efficiency as well as to minimize the size of RF circuit in CDMA phone. Each filter which was a part of duplexer, was realized with planar type and rearranged into the power amplifier module on the multilayer board. Each electrical specifications of existing power amplifier and duplexer were satisfied. Especially, ACPR performances measured at output power of 24dBm which is 2dB lower than that of a conventional one, meet IS-95 for a power amplifier of CDMA phone. Overall current about 80mA has been successfully saved as a result of new scheme. In addition, the module size has been reduced to be as small as 1.08CC.

Through the automatic sensing of the environment, USN technology can give the best services. In this work, we have developed an active RFID system and examined its performance. By implementing it into water quality sensors, we constructed a system that can detect diverse indoor/outdoor environment and provide information about the pollution level obtained from the temperature and PH sensors. Our RF system had an internal Print-on-PCB antenna for the miniaturization of the tag. We used a RF transceiver CC2510 chipset of TI company to realize the active RFID function. By using RSSI constants obtained, we performed the evaluation of real time location accuracy with a software written in Labview. Among 10 arbitrary locations, we obtained average measurement errors of 1.69 m in x axis and 1.66 m in y axis. This technology can be applied to logistics, environmental monitoring, prevention of missing children and various applications.

Information systems, which support information security functions such as CALS and EC systems, should have cryptographic functions for information in order to storage and communicate securely. Additionally, including recovery of lost keys, lots of cryptographic keys should be securely managed. In this paper, we present some results of development of a key recovery system for recovery of encrypted data. The proposed system, in a type of key encapsulation approach, confirms to NIST's RKRP(Requirements for Key Recovery Products) that is a defecto international key recovery standard, as well as CC 2.0 that is a international security evaluation criteria. A message sender secretly choices two or more key recovery agents from a pool of key recovery agents. The key recovery information is generated by using the recovering key, random keys and public keys of the chosen agents. A message receiver can not know which key recovery agents are involved in his key recovery service. We have developed two versions of prototype of key recovery system such as C/Unix and Java/NT versions. Our systems can be used for recovery of communicating informations as well as storing informations, and as a new security service solution for electronic commerce service infrastructures.

Distributed ledger technology, which is attracting attention as an emerging technology related to the 4th Industrial Revolution, is implemented as an open source based distributed ledger technology system and widely used for development with various applications (or services), but the security functions provided by the distributed general ledger system are very insufficient. This paper proposes security enhancements for distributed ledger technology systems based on open source. To do so, potential security threats that may occur under running an open source based distributed ledger technology systems are identified and security functional requirements against the security threats identified are provided by analyzing legislation and security certification criteria (ISMS-P). In addition, it proposes a method to implement the security functions required for an open source based distributed ledger technology systems through analysis of security functional components of Common Criteria (CC), an international standard.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a "stealth chamber" as a novel reference chamber for measuring percentage depth dose (PDD) and profile of 6, 8 and 10 MV photon energies. The PDD curves and dose profiles with fields ranging from $3{\times}3$ to $25{\times}25cm^2$ were acquired from measurements by using the stealth chamber and CC 13 chamber as reference chamber. All measurements were performed with Varian VitalBeam linear accelerator. In order to assess the performance of stealth chamber, PDD curves and profiles measured with stealth chamber were compared with measurement data using CC13 chamber. For PPDs measured with both chambers, the dosimetric parameters such as $d_{max}$ (depth of maximum dose), $D_{50}$ (PDD at 50 mm depth), and $D_{100}$ (PDD at 100 mm depth) were analyzed. Moreover, root mean square error (RMSE) values for profiles at $d_{max}$ and 100 mm depth were evaluated. The measured PDDs and profiles between the stealth chamber and CC13 chamber as reference detector had almost comparable. For PDDs, the evaluated dosimetric parameters were observed small difference (<1%) for all energies and field sizes, except for $d_{max}$ less than 2 mm. In addition, the difference of RMSEs for profiles at $d_{max}$ and 100 mm depth was similar for both chambers. This study confirmed that the use of stealth chamber for measuring commission beam data is a feasible as reference chamber for fields ranging from $3{\times}3$ to $20{\times}20cm^2$. Furthermore, it has an advantage with respect to measurement of the small fields (less than $3{\times}3cm^2$ field) although not performed in this study.
