In this paper, we proposed an arduino-based smart green house management system model and implemented it. The proposed system consists of control unit composed of sensors and arduino, agent program controlling the green house, and web applications providing user interfaces. The control unit transmits data of sensors such as temperature, humidity, illuminance, moisture, etc. to the agent program, and then the agent saves the data in its database. In reverse, control data are transmitted from agent program to control unit. Users can monitor sensed data of green houses and control actuators remotely using web. Plus, smart green house management is available by context awareness and autonomous control functions of the proposed system.

The improvement of the performance in laser radar simulation requires fast retrievals of the spatial locations and attributes of objects in response to the laser signals of the simulators. Since the data used in simulation are complex 3D objects such as terrain, buildings and vehicles, and are of large sizes, commonly used 3D modeling tools are not suitable for this use. We proposed a method to store such 3D objects in a database, perform required queries and integrate with visualization tools. We showed the processes for the data modeling based on 3D topological concepts and then building a spatial DBMS. Also, we illustrated the process for accessing and visualizing the stored data using VRML and performed test computations using some laser signal data. With further enhancement on data modeling and LOD problems in visualization, the proposed method will be practically applied in different situations including laser simulation.

In order to determine the runout range of pyroclastic density currents on Jeju island, lava dome collapse on 8 locations of outer rim of Baekrokdam crater were simulated by TITAN2D numerical simulation program. We set parameters as internal friction angle as $30^{\circ}$ and bed friction angle as $20^{\circ}$ to control velocity of currents occurred by lava dome collapse. Then we set the height and radius of lava dome, initial speed of collapse and simulation times. And we carried out numerical simulations for a total of 96 scenarios. The result shows that the maximum runout distance was 13.4 km in case of lava dome collapse. This study can be used database for manufacturing of hazard map to minimize damages caused by pyroclastic density currents occurred on Jeju island.

This paper presents a text extraction method of camera based document image. It is more difficult to recognize camera based document image in comparison with scanner based image because of segmentation problem due to variable lighting condition and versatile fonts. Both document binarization and character extraction are important processes to recognize camera based document image. After converting color image into grey level image, gray level normalization is used to extract character region independent of lighting condition and background image. Local adaptive binarization method is then used to extract character from the background after the removal of noise. In this character extraction step, the information of the horizontal and vertical projection and the connected components is used to extract character line, word region and character region. To evaluate the proposed method, we have experimented with documents mixed Hangul, English, symbols and digits of the ETRI database. An encouraging binarization and character extraction results have been obtained.

Recently, local heavy rain for a short term is caused by unusual changing in the weather. This phenomenon has, several times, caused an extensive flash flood, casualties, and material damage. This study is aimed at calculating the characteristics of flash floods in streams. For this purpose, the analysis of topographical characteristics of water basin through applying GIS techniques will be conducted. The flash flood prediction model we used is made with GCIUH (geomorphoclimatic instantaneous unit hydrograph). The database is established by the use of GIS and by the extraction of streams and watersheds from DEM. The streams studied are included small, middle and large scale watersheds. For the first, for the establishment or criteria on the flash flood warning, peak discharge and trigger runoff must be decided. This study analyzed the degree or aptitude of topographical factors to the trigger runoff calculated by GCUH model.

Kangwondo area is mountainous and landslide happens easily during the rainy period in summer time. Especially, when there is torrential downpour caused by the unusual weather change, there will be greater possibility to see landslide. It is very difficult to analyze and study a natural phenomenon like the landslide because there are so many factors behind it. And the way to conduct the analysis is also very complicated. However, if GIS is used, we can classify and analyze data efficiently by modeling the real phenomenon with a computer. Based upon the analysis on the causes of landslide in the areas where it occurred in the past, therefore, this study shows several factors leading to landslide and contains the GIS database categorized by grade and stored in the computer. In order to analyze the influence of every factor causing landslide, we calculated the rates of weight by AHP and evaluated landslide vulnerability in the study area by using GIS. As a result of such analysis, we found that the forest factor has most potential influences among other factors in landslide.

This review examined recently published (July 2014 to June 2017), randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which investigated the safety and effectiveness of combined Korean medicine/complementary alternative medicine (CAM) and Western medicine, to indicate the direction for integrative medical practice. The Korean Medicine Convergence Research Information Center evidence-based medicine database (KMCRIC EBM DB) was used to retrieve relevant RCTs indexed in the last 3 years. Study design, country, sample size, disease/condition with the Korean Standard Classification of Diseases code, interventions, direction of outcomes, and adverse events were extracted and summarized. A total of 93 RCTs were included in this review. Acupuncture/moxibustion was the most commonly used intervention (n = 47; 51%), and 19% (n = 18) of the studies treated musculoskeletal disorders, followed by circulatory disorders (n = 16; 17%), and mental and behavioral disorders (n = 9; 10%). Integrative treatment was reported as more effective than monotherapy in approximately 83% of these studies. Adverse events were poorly reported in most studies. This review suggests that integrative treatments are feasible, effective, and safe for various diseases/conditions, based on the evidence from recently published RCTs. Future studies on integrative healthcare are warranted.

Objectives The study of the clinical effects of traditional east asian medicine (TEAM) using Taiwan national health insurance claim dataset (NHIRD) is useful in Korean Medicine research. We reviewed the clinical studies of TEAM using NHIRD as a whole through this study. Methods We comprehensively searched PUBMED and NHIRD DB for clinical effects of TEAM study using NHIRD from inception to 17, January 2017. As a result, 40 studies investigating the contribution of TEAM intervention to health benefit have been confirmed. We analyzed publication time, target disease, sample size, outcome measurement and main result of 40 searched studies. Results The number of TEAM studies using NHIRD grdually increasing. The topics of the team study using NHIRD covered a wide range of subjects including cardiovascular disease, tumor, gynecological disease, diabetes and kidney disease. The studies have shown large samples and reported significant effects on severe diseases. Conclusions The results of this study suggest that the study of Korean Medicine using Big data will be useful for decision making related to health care in Korea. However, considering the limited domestic Korean health insurance data, it will be necessary to activate the big data research of Korean Medicine through the establishment of a separate cohort in Korea.

The material and mechanical properties in the high temperature area of 40 to 100 MPa high strength concrete structural member was identified based on mixing of fiber cocktail and the structural element fire behavior simulation through the finite element analysis method (ABAQUS) was interpreted. The results are as follows. First, it was interpreted that the test specimen with concrete fiber cocktail mixed was more controllable in the maximum shrinkage than the one with concrete fiber cocktail not mixed the controllable range was about 25% to 55%. This means that shrinkage is controllable through mixing of fiber cocktail for the high strength concrete columns. Second, this study didn't consider the explosive spalling by the pore pressure within high strength concrete. If the properties for the pore pressure within high strength concrete is considered and database by strength and by inner temperature of various high strength concrete and steel materials are established in the future, it is interpreted that the technical foundation will be laid for performance based design of fire resistant construction.
