IEEE 802.11에 정의된 전력 절약 메카니즘에서 모든 노드들은 동일한 ATIM(Ad hoc Traffic Indication Map) 윈도우 크기와 동일한 비이콘(beacon) 간격을 사용한다. ATIM 윈도우 크기는 처리율과 에너지 소모에 크게 영행을 미치기 때문에 고정된 ATIM 윈도우 크기는 좋은 성능을 나타내지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 상태에 따라 ATIM 윈도우 크기를 조절하는 기법을 제시한다. 제시된 기법은 네트워크 특성을 반영하기 위해 (m,k)-firm 스트림 기법을 적용하였다. 제시된 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 ns-2 시뮬레이터를 이용한 성능 평가를 수행했다. 수행된 결과를 보면 제시된 프로토콜은 기존의 프로토콜 보다 많은 양의 에너지 절약을 하고 있음을 볼 수 있다.

Particles emitted from three coal-fired power plants burning bituminous and sub-bituminous coals were examined for PM and size fractions PM>2.5 and PM2.5. The ratio of PM2.5/PM was ranged from 10 to 62%, and PM emission increased with the amount of coal feed, which was 7.23~15.66 kg/h. The emission range of PM2.5 from three power plants was 1.24~4.48 kg/h (dry), which was function of the mixed rate of viscous sub-bituminous coal in feed. Of course such effect should be examined by further tests in details. Based on the consumed coal and thermal load, the emission factors averaged were shown as 59.03 g-PM/ton-coal, 14.79 g-PM2.5/ton-coal and 22.51 g-PM/MWh, 5.54 g-PM2.5/MWh, respectively.

In this paper, we study optimal tradeoffs of achievable throughput versus consumed power in wireless ad-hoc networks formed by a collection of multiple antenna nodes. Relying on adaptive modulation and/or dynamic channel coding rate allocation techniques for multiple antenna systems, we examine the maximization of throughput under power constraints as well as the minimization of transmission power under throughput constraints. In our examination, we also consider the impacts of enforcing quality of service requirements expressed in the form of channel coding block loss constraints. In order to properly model temporally correlated loss observed in fading wireless channels, we propose the use of finite-state Markov chains. Details of fading statistics of signal-to-interference-noise ratio, an important indicator of transmission quality, are presented. Further, we objectively inspect complexity versus accuracy tradeoff of solving our proposed optimization problems at a global as oppose to a local topology level. Our numerical simulations profile and compare the performance of a variety of scenarios for a number of sample network topologies.

In this study, four plants grown naturally in Egypt that are usually consumed by pastoral nomads were screened for their total phenolic contents, antioxidative, and anti-$\alpha$-amylase activities. Dried powder of plant's part was extracted in absolute or 70% ethanol. A polar extract of Panicum turgidum (PTPE) had the highest total polyphenol content {92.5 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g}, followed by an alkaloid extract of Withania somnifera (WSAlk; 77.5 mg GAE/g), and an ethanol extract of Leptadenia pyrotechnica (LPEE; 59.1 mg GAE/g). By employing different assays such as DPPH radical scavenging, reducing power, $Fe^+$ chelating, $H_2O_2$ scavenging and total antioxidant capacity, it was shown that PTPE, WSEE (ethanol extract of W. somnifera), WSAlk and LPEE had promising antioxidant activity, though, their potency varied according to the different tests. WSAlk had the highest level of $\alpha$-amylase inhibition (40.2%) in vitro, followed by WSEE (30.5%). Therefore, it can be concluded that these plants, especially extracts of PTPE, and WSAlk are beneficial to physiological health, and could be used in food and pharmaceutical industries to prepare dietary supplements, functional foods or food preservatives.

This study was conducted to develop an index of fuel consumption to rate agricultural tractors by their fuel efficiencies. The fuel consumption index consisted of two components: basic and operational indexes. The basic index is to consider an average amount of fuel consumed by engine when it transmits 20 and 100% of the rated power. The operational index is to consider the fuel consumed by tractor for typical field operations: plowing, rotavating, and the remains. The equations and procedures to obtain these indexes were proposed. The method and fuel consumption rate to classify tractors into 5 grades were also proposed. The best 15% of the tractor models were rated as the first grade, 20% as the second grade, 30% as the third grade, 20% as the fourth grade, and 15% as the fifth grade in order of fuel efficiency. Using the fuel consumption index, the classification was conducted on 143 tractor models tested at the National Institute of Agricultural Engineering from 2000 to 2007. The proposed 5-grade system of classification using the fuel consumption index could be used to rate the fuel efficiency of 20-100 kW tractor models produced over past 10 years in Korea.

최근, 무선 센서 네트워크 기술은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시대의 핵심 기반 기술의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 센서 노드는 제한된 배터리 용량을 가지기 때문에, 장기간 생존하기 위해서 노드들의 동작에 적은 에너지를 소모해야한다. 따라서, 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 프로토콜이 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 논문 에서는 에너지 사용량을 고려하여 에너지 소모가 적은 경로를 설정하는 위치 기반의 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 아울러 메시지 전송이 원활하지 못한 경우를 처리하는 경로 재설정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 마지막으로 TOSSIM을 이용한 성능평가를 통해, 제안한 프로토콜이 에너지 효율성 측면에서 기존 위치기반 라우팅 프로토콜 보다 우수함을 보인다.

센서네트워크에서 각 노드가 오직 자신의 이웃 노드에 대한 위치정보만을 가지고 라우팅 경로를 설정하는 위치 기반 라우팀은 확장성에 있어 매우 효과적인 프로토콜이다. 그러나 순수한 위치기반 라우팅은 채널상태를 고려하지 않는다. 채널상태를 고려하지 않는다면, 라우팅 테이블이 업데이트될 때 채널상태가 좋지 않은 노드가 라우팅 테이블에 업데이트 되어 릴레이 노도로 선택되어질 수 있다. 이것은 에러로 인한 재전송을 유발하게 되고 이러한 재전송 때문에 추가의 에너지가 소비되게 된다. 이러한 사실로부터, 본 논문에서는 위치기반 라우팅에서 채널상태를 고려함으로 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송을 보장하고 소비되는 에너지를 최소화 할 수 있는 라우팅 방법을 제시하였다.

To assess the effect of pinitol supplementation and strength training for two weeks on the anaerobic capacity during and after exercise, and improvement of glucose metabolism during the recovery period of muscular fatigue with repeated acute bouts of cycling exercise, a total of 24 healthy young men were recruited and randomly and equally divided into three groups; pinitol supplementation group (PSG), placebo group (PLG), and control group (CON). Using a randomized double-blinded design, subjects in PSG were provided pinitol supplement, consumed orally 1.2 g/day, and participated in the resistance exercise program and cycling exercise for two weeks. Subjects in PLG underwent the same protocol as those in PSG but consumed the same amount of placebo. No supplementation and exercise program was given to CON. Before and after the intervention, all subjects were tested for their anaerobic capacities evaluated by Wingate test twice separated by 30 min. During the test, peak anaerobic power (PP), mean anaerobic power, total work, and fatigue index were evaluated During resting and recovery, blood samples were drawn and plasma pinitol, myo-inositol, chiro-inositol, insulin, free fatty acid, glucose, and lactate levels were analyzed After two weeks, PP and relative PP of the second biking were improved from the first biking in PSG only (p<0.05). No changes were found in all other variables of Wingate test in all groups. No statistical differences between groups and pre- and post-intervention were observed in concentrations of pinitol, myo-inositol, and chiro-inositol, but pinitol concentration was higher during recovery compared to the baseline in all groups and testings (p<0.05). Lactate level during recovery was higher than the resting level, but no other blood parameters were significantly changed. In conclusion, two weeks of pinitol supplementation in conjunction with short duration of anaerobic training in healthy young men did not induce any obvious benefits in terms of anaerobic capacity and energy metabolism Individual and/or population susceptibility may be one factor responsible for adopting pinitol supplementation.

Nowadays, as the availability of tiny, low-cost microcomputer increases at a high level, mobile robots are experiencing remarkable enhancements in hardware design, software performance, and connectivity advancements. In order to control Turtlebot 2, several algorithms have been developed using the Robot Operating System(ROS). However, ROS requires to be run on a high-cost computer which increases the hardware cost and the power consumption to the robot. Therefore, design an algorithm based on low-cost hardware is the most innovative way to reduce the unnecessary costs of the hardware, to increase the performance, and to decrease the power consumed by the computer on the robot. In this paper, we present a path-finding algorithm for TurtleBot 2 based on low-cost hardware. We implemented the algorithm using Raspberry pi, Windows 10 IoT core, and RPLIDAR A2. Firstly, we used Raspberry pi as the alternative to the computer employed to handle ROS and to control the robot. Raspberry pi has the advantages of reducing the hardware cost and the energy consumed by the computer on the robot. Secondly, using RPLIDAR A2 and Windows 10 IoT core which is running on Raspberry pi, we implemented the path-finding algorithm which allows TurtleBot 2 to navigate from the starting point to the destination using the map of the area. In addition, we used C# and Universal Windows Platform to implement the proposed algorithm.
