Continuing education for professionals is the most basic requirement for continuous professional development. The enhancement of the professionalism of librarians will also be possible through the establishment of a systematic continuing education strategy of the national level. In this study, we tried to derive a strategy for continuing education for librarians in Korea by analyzing the internal and external environment of national institutions that are the center of continuing education for librarians. To this end, we proposed a complex framework of PEST-3Cs-SWOT as a systematic environmental analysis methodology and tried to apply it. For PEST analysis, literature related to library, librarian, and librarian education was extensively reviewed, and for 3Cs analysis, in-depth interviews with internal employees, questionnaire data analysis on the demand survey of training subjects, and case studies of similar institutions in Korea and abroad were conducted. Based on this, SWOT analysis was conducted, and finally, 4 strengths-opportunity strategic tasks, 5 weaknesses-opportunity strategic tasks, 5 strength-threat strategic tasks, and 3 weaknesses-threat strategic tasks were derived. This study will be meaningful in that it presents strategic tasks for continuing education institutions in Korea, and at the same time suggests and applies a complex analysis methodology that can be applied to tasks similar to development plans and strategy establishment.

It is expected that the techniques of optical imaging through turbid media enables non-invasive imaging through human skin and biological tissues. In recent years, many researches have shown that imaging through turbid media can be made possible by measuring the transmission matrix (TM) of the turbid medium and utilizing it for image recovery. However, this TM based image recovery requires a huge amount of data acquisition and post signal processing of them. Very recently, there were new results that this problem of huge data acquisition and processing can be resolved by using the compressed sensing (CS) framework. CS is a relatively new signal acquisition and reconstruction framework which makes possible to recover the signal of interest correctly with significantly smaller number of signal measurements. In this paper, the TM-based image recovery in imaging through turbid media is reviewed and the recent progress made by using CS is introduced.

Compressive sensing (CS) has drawn much interest as a novel sampling technique that enables sparse signal to be sampled under the Nyquitst/Shannon rate. By noting that the block-based CS can still keep spatial correlation in measurement domain, this paper proposes to adapt sampling rate of each block in frame according to its characteristic defined by edge information. Specifically, those blocks containing more edges are assigned more measurements utilizing block-wise correlation in measurement domain without knowledge about full sampling frame. For natural image, the proposed adaptive rate allocation shows considerable improvement compared with fixed subrate block-based CS in both terms of objective (up to 3.29 dB gain) and subjective qualities.

In this paper, we address a novel simulated annealing(SA)-based test scheduling method for testing network-on-chip (NoC)-based systems-on-chip(SoCs), on the assumption that the test platform proposed in [1] is installed. The proposed method efficiently mixed the rectangle packing method with SA and improved the scheduling results by locally changing the test access mechanism(TAM) widths for cores and the testing orders. Experimental results using ITC'02 benchmark circuits show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently reduce the overall test time.

In this study three target radionuclides ($^{60}Co$, $^{137}Cs$, and $^{125}Sb$) were reacted with solid samples collected from the nuclear facility sites to investigate their sorption and mobility behaviors for preparing unexpected nuclear accidents. The highest sorption distribution coefficients ($K_{ds}$) of target radionuclides ($^{60}Co=947mL/g$, $^{137}Cs=2105mL/g$, $^{125}Sb=81.3mL/g$) were found in topsoil layer under groundwater condition, and the $K_d$ values of three radionuclides decreased in the order of fractured rock and bedrock samples under the same groundwater condition. High $K_d$ values of $^{60}Co$ in topsoil layer and fracture rock resulted from the clay minerals present, and the $K_d$ values decreased 58-69 % under seawater condition due to high ionic strength. $^{137}Cs$ sorption was controlled by the ion exchange reaction with $K^+$ on flayed edge sites (FES) of mica. The $^{137}Cs$ sorption was the most affected by seawater (89-97 % decrease), while $^{125}Sb$ sorption was not much affected by seawater. As the results of column and batch experiments, the retardation factors (R) of $^{137}Cs$, $^{60}Co$, and $^{125}Sb$ were determined about 5400-7400, 2000-2500, and 250-415, respectively, indicating no significant transport for these radionuclides even in fractured zone with groundwater. These results suggest that even in the case of severe nuclear accident at the nuclear facilities the mobility of released radionuclides ($^{60}Co$, $^{137}Cs$, and $^{125}Sb$) can be significantly retarded by the topsoil layer and fractured rock. In addition, the results of this study will be used for the safety and environmental performance assessment of nuclear facilities.

This paper propose a human action recognition method that uses bag-of-features (BoF) based on CS-LBP (center-symmetric local binary pattern) and a spatial pyramid in addition to the random forest classifier. To construct the BoF, an image divided into dense regular grids and extract from each patch. A code word which is a visual vocabulary, is formed by k-means clustering of a random subset of patches. For enhanced action discrimination, local BoF histogram from three subdivided levels of a spatial pyramid is estimated, and a weighted BoF histogram is generated by concatenating the local histograms. For action classification, a random forest, which is an ensemble of decision trees, is built to model the distribution of each action class. The random forest combined with the weighted BoF histogram is successfully applied to Standford Action 40 including various human action images, and its classification performance is better than that of other methods. Furthermore, the proposed method allows action recognition to be performed in near real-time.

Radioactive contamination has become an important environmental concern after the accident occurred in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. $^{134}Cs$ and $^{137}Cs$ are the major fission products and they are main problems in radioactive contamination. Huge amounts of Cs were released during the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants accident and as a result of this incident, many researchers focused on the development of adsorbents for decontamination of radiotoxic cesium. This review will critically evaluate recent advances in the preparation of Prussian blue and its analogue compounds, which are promising materials for cesium removal. Furthermore, this review will discuss recent studies on the cesium adsorption using different types of clay and clay based adsorbents and summarize various types of newly developed Cs adsorbents reported in recent years.

Results of Monte Carlo simulations on amorphous silicon based x-ray imaging arrays are described. In order to investigate the characteristics of amorphous silicon x-ray imaging devices and to provide the optimum design parameter, Monte Carlo simulations were performed. Monte Carlo simulation codes for our purpose were developed and various combinations of x-ray peak voltages, aluminum filter thicknesses, CsI(TI) thicknesses, and amorphous silicon photodiode pixel sizes were tested in connection with detection efficiency and spatial resolution of the amorphous silicon based x-ray imager. With usual Csl(TI) thickness of 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-500${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, detection efficiency was in the range of 70%-95% and energy absorption efficiency was in the range of 40%-70% for 60kVp-120kVp x-ray. From the simulations it was found that amorphous silicon pixel size and Csl(TI) thickness were the most important parameters which determine the resolution of the imager. By use of our simulation results we could provide proper combinations of Csl(TI) thicknesses and pixels sizes for optimum sensitivity and resolution.
