This paper focuses on the accurate performance evaluation of cooperative diversity technique with imperfect channel estimates. The channel environment for simulations and performance evaluation is supposed to be the slowly time-varying Rayleigh fading channel. The framework of the performance evaluation is based on the Moment Generating Function(MGF) approach. To apply the effect of this channel estimation error into the performance evaluation, we import an useful Gaussian approximation in formulating the effective noise component and the additive noise. The average BER performance of cooperative diversity with M-PSK and M-QAM is computed as a function of the ratio of the signal to the effective noise based on the approximation. The verification of computed performance is provided with simulations. The evaluated performance matches up to simulation results even in a low SNR region.

Unlike the past, modern high-tech weapons systems are complex and many components are combined to form a weapons system. In addition, unlike the past, where hardware was the main component, the proportion of software is increasing every year, making the security assurance activities of weapon systems more difficult than in the past. The United States has been working to ensure the security of the weapons systems they develop since the 1960s. The findings were made to US internal standards, updated regularly, and are now being applied as RMF. In Korea, research activities have been conducted since 2010 based on the RMF of the United States. However, actual RMF application cases in the United States cannot be classified and obtained, and there are no official cases in Korea. In this paper, we apply Korean RMF research that has been studied so far to apply to the recently developed real weapon system. Thus, detailed guidelines for applying the RMF are presented.

Urban environmental problem became one of major issues during its urbanization processes. Environmental impacts are assessed during recent urban planning and development. Though the environmental impact assessment considers meteorological impact as a minor component, changes in wind environment during development can largely affect the distribution pattern of air temperature, humidity, and pollutants. Impact assessment of local wind is, therefore, a major element for impact assessment prior to any other meteorological impact assessment. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models are utilized in various fields such as in wind field assessment during a construction of a new building and in post analysis of a fire event over a mountain. CFD models require specially formatted input data and produce specific output files, which can be analyzed using special programs. CFD's huge requirement in computing power is another hurdle in practical use. In this study, a CFD model and related software processors were automated and integrated as a microscale wind environmental impact assessment system. A supercomputer system was used to reduce the running hours of the model. Input data processor ingests development plans in CAD or GIS formatted files and produces input data files for the CFD model. Output data processor produces various analytical graphs upon user requests. The system was used in assessing the impacts of a new building near an observatory on wind fields and showed the changes by the construction visually and quantitatively. The microscale wind assessment system will evolve, of course, incorporating new improvement of the models and processors. Nevertheless the framework suggested here can be utilized as a basic system for the assessment.

While .NET and J2EE bisects recent distributed environment, .NET displays "Remoting" as a technology to call remote object. Remoting is frequently used as a protocol in OLTP's WEB program development in form of RPC that exchange data in XML form under HTTP environment. Purpose of this research is to draw problems when applying security to .NET remoting technology that is recently used in web programming, and to find effective application plan by implementing. The main discussion is following. First, network layer security should be replaced to application layer security for better performance and flexibility. Second, the serialization procedure that is repeated in both remoting and encryption module should take place once. Lastly, implementation of "Surrogate" and "Compress" will be discussed that enables to eliminate unnecessary data(table relations, keys, etc) that is used in dataset object of .NET in order to reduce the size of data. It is possible to achieve improvement in speed by two times through immediate implementation in these cases. In order for easier use, component based framework should be supplied hereafter.

Collagen is the most abundant animal protein in mammals, accounting for about 30 % of all proteins. It is present in connective tissue and contributes to the structural framework of most organs. The tripeptide (glycineproline-hydroxyproline) with the INCI name Tripeptide-29 is main component of collagen type I. The palmitoyl tripeptide (palmitoyl-glycine-proline-hydroxyproline) with the INCI name Paimitoyi Tripeptide-29 is a synthetic material that was designed as a topical agent to stimulate collagen production. We synthesized the palmitoyl tripeptide as a potential anti-wrinkle compound. This compound has been characterized using HPLC. This compound proved, through in vitro tests, to stimulate collagen production and fibroblast proliferation. These results were very promising, so human studies were subsequently performed. We investigated the skin improvement effect of the palrnitoyl tripeptide on human skin by using non-invasive instruments. We measured physiological effects such as skin wrinkles and elasticity after volunteers applied the cosmetic products for 8 weeks. We observed significant improvement in skin wrinkles and elasticity after use of the cosmetic products for 8 weeks. We concluded that the palmitoyl tripeptide had an anti-aging effect on human facial skin.

The recent interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning has partly contributed to an interest in the use of such approaches for hyperspectral remote sensing (HRS) imagery classification, as evidenced by the increasing number of deep framework with deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) structures proposed in the literature. In these approaches, the assumption of obtaining high quality deep features by using CNN is not always easy and efficient because of the complex data distribution and the limited sample size. In this paper, conventional handcrafted learning-based multi features based on expert knowledge are introduced as the input of a special designed CNN to improve the pixel description and classification performance of HRS imagery. The introduction of these handcrafted features can reduce the complexity of the original HRS data and reduce the sample requirements by eliminating redundant information and improving the starting point of deep feature training. It also provides some concise and effective features that are not readily available from direct training with CNN. Evaluations using three public HRS datasets demonstrate the utility of our proposed method in HRS classification.

There is increasing interest in the introduction of smart work as a flexible working form to perform a task without restrictions of time and place by using the information and communication technology as a creative innovative capacity has become an important element of enterprise competitiveness. However, because of the lack of understanding about smart work and concrete practices, most local SMEs are staying at the beginning of introducing the smart work. It is required to provide the standard of a smart work common structure and interface to quickly develop smart work services in a standardized way for SMEs and promote the deployment of the smart work in this environment. In this paper, we present standard development directions for the smart work service common structure and component interface to develop specialized services according to the size, the purpose and the needs of local SMEs.

Modern weapon systems are composed of complex systems(System of Systems) and require a complex and advanced operational concept that performs missions through interoperability with various weapon systems. In order to derive the operational concept of the weapon system that the military wants to acquire (i.e., single mission, component operation, Joint and Alliance operations), it is necessary to identify the system related to the weapon system, environmental factors and restrictions of the weapon system to be developed. Through the derivation of the operational concept, the weapon system acquisition agency can reasonably and accurately extract various and complex requirements. In this paper, we propose a complementary method of using MND-AF to OCD and ORD required in weapon system acquisition process. MND-AF can increase the understanding and consensus of business stakeholders (users, acquirers, developers, etc.) by showing the results of weapon system analysis from various perspectives. We compare the items in the standard form of OCD and ORD with the MND-AF outputs.

The study intends to investigate a short-run and a long-run causality among money, income, and prices in the Keynesian and Monetarists framework. This study emphasizes the importance of unrecorded money, which exists alongside legal monetary assets and plays a dual function in determining economic prosperity. The underground economy, which is a hidden component of aggregate economic activity, is determined using Tanzi's monetary approach (Tanzi, 1980). This research uses a time series of annual data from 1990 to 2019 for this purpose. The data is extracted from the World Bank database for the monetary and development indicators. The study keeping in view the trending nature in data follows a unit root testing followed by the Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) to assess the long and short-run dynamics of causality among the variables. In both the pricing and income equations, the study finds a significant level link among the variables; however, there is no evidence of the presence of a level association in the money equation. The short-run causal relationship provides evidence of bi-directional causation between the supply of money and national income. The outcome of this study advise that though the view point of both the Monetarist and Keynesian school holds in both short and long run, however, in Pakistan only the Monetarists' role of money supply and income holds in Pakistan. This evidence would be of precise interest to the policy-makers.

Direct-seeded rice can have comparable yield with transplanted rice if its inherent problems can be solved. It is a labor-saving technology and can significantly reduce production cost because seedling nursery , pulling , and transplanting are omitted. Turnaround time between cropping is reduced hence the possibility of a third annual crop. But direct-seeded rice is very vulnerable to pest attack (by birds, rats, and golden snails), desiccation, weed infestation, and prone to lodging resulting to unstable crop establishment and inconsistent yield. These problems can be solved by anaerobic seeding (sowing pre-germinated seeds under the soil). It requires precise seed placement into the soil to optimize its benefits. We developed a four-row anaerobic direct seeder (US $ 200 commercial price) for this purpose . It consist of a structural framework mounted with a drum -hopper metering device, flotation type drivewheels, spring-loaded and adjustable furrow closers, and furrow open rs, and a plastic rainguard. It can sow in line pre-germinated seeds into the soil thus permitting the use of mechanical weeders for a chemical-free weed control. Its performance was comparable with the Japanese two-row anaerobic seeder (costing US$400) in terms of seed placement and crop establishment. It was tested with five cultivars. Seeding rate varied from 38 kg/ha to 80kg/ha. Crop establishment ranged from 64 to 99 percent while grain yield varied from 3.0 t/ha to 5.4t/ha. A six-row anaerobic seeder was also developed and adapted to a powertiller for increased capacity , field efficiency , and easier operation. The anaerobic seeder is useful to farmers shifting to direct seeding to reduce rice production cost and to researchers conducting agronomic studies in direct-seeded rice. Blueprint of the machine is available free of charge from IRRI.
