The routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPL) is an internet protocol based routing protocol developed and standardized by IETF in 2012 to support a wide range of applications for low-power and lossy-networks (LLNs). In LLNs consisting of resource-constrained devices, the energy consumption of battery powered sensing devices during network operations can greatly impact network lifetime. In the case of inefficient route selection, the energy depletion from even a few nodes in the network can damage network integrity and reliability by creating holes in the network. In this paper, a composite energy-aware node metric ($RER_{BDI}$) is proposed for RPL; this metric uses both the residual energy ratio (RER) of the nodes and their battery discharge index. This composite metric helps avoid overburdening power depleted network nodes during packet routing from the source towards the destination oriented directed acyclic graph root node. Additionally, an objective function is defined for RPL, which combines the node metric $RER_{BDI}$ and the expected transmission count (ETX) link quality metric; this helps to improve the overall network packet delivery ratio. The COOJA simulator is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The simulations show encouraging results for the proposed scheme in terms of network lifetime, packet delivery ratio and energy consumption, when compared to the most popular schemes for RPL like ETX, hop-count and RER.

많은 센서 네트워크 응용분야에서 센서 노드는 개방된 환경에 놓이게 된다. 공격자는 개방된 환경에 놓인 센서 노드를 물리적으로 획득할 수 있으며, 포획한 노드를 이용하여 허위보고서를 센서네트워크에 삽입 시킬 수 있다. 삽입된 허위보고서는 제한된 센서노드 에너지를 고갈 시키며, 허위 경보를 일으켜 심각한 문제를 야기 시킬 수도 있다. 이러한 공격을 막기 위해 Ye 등은 통계적 여과 기법(Statistical En-route Filtering) 방법을 제안하였다. 통계적 여과기법은 CoS(Center of Stimulus)로부터 생성된 이벤트 보고서가 베이스 스테이션으로 전송되는 동안 중간의 모든 노드들이 검증을 하게 된다. 본 논문은 통계적 여과 기법에 확률 검증 기법을 적용하여 에너지 효율적인 정적 확률 통계적 여과 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 베이스 스테이션과 이벤트 발생 지역까지의 거리가 멀어질수록 에너지 절약 효과가 극대화 될 것으로 기대된다.

Since UV-B radiation measuring networks have not been established, numerical models which calculate the flux from other readily available meteorological measurements may play an important role. That is, such a problem can be solved by using parameterization models such as two stream approximation, the delta-Eddington method, doubling method, and discrete ordinate method. However, most UV-B radiative transfer models have not been validated with measurements, because such models are not intended as practical computational schemes for providing surface estimates of UV-B radiation. The main concern so far has been to demonstrate model sensitivity for cloudless skies. In particular, few have been concerned with real cloud information. Clouds and aerosols have generally been incorporated as constituents of particular atmospheric layers with specified optical depths and scattering properties. The parameterization model presented here is a combination of a detailed radiative transfer algorithm for a coludless sky radiative process and a more approximate scheme to handle cloud effects. The model input data requires a daily measurement of the total ozone amount plus a daily record of the amount and type of cloud in the atmosphere. Measurements for an examination of the models at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Pusan National University have been takenfrom February, 1995. These models can be used to calculate present and future fluxes where measurements have not been taken, and construct climatologies for the period before ozone depletion began.

Fractional composition and mobility of sediments some heavy metals in Okdong stream are investigated. The fractional scheme for sediment heavy metal was made for five chemically defined heavy metal forms as adsorbed fraction, carbonate fraction, reducible fraction, organic fraction, and residual fraction (Tessier et at., 1979). The most abundant fraction of the sediment heavy metal is reducible and secondly abundant organic fraction. Adsorbed fraction is minor part of the total heavy metals. Mobilization of sediment heavy metals in stream Okdong is occur 19.8∼56.7% of total cadmium concentrate. The most abundant fraction of the sediment metal is organic fraction in Cu, Pb metals investigated. Labile fraction of sediment metals are 0.5%∼48.5% of total Zn, 2.6%∼48.1% of total Pb, 0.2∼36.9% of total Cu respectively, Most of labile fraction consists of reducible fraction for Cd, Zn, adsorbed fraction for Pb, reducible fraction for Cu, adsorbed fraction for Ni. The Mobilization of Zn and Cu is most likely to occur when oxygen depletes and that of Pb and Ni occurs when physical impact, oxygen depletion and pH reduction.

As a result of the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental contamination, it has become important to use renewable energy. For the stable utilization of renewable energy sources, energy storage devices must be used. In addition, renewable and distributed power sources with energy storage devices must operate stably under grid-connected mode. This paper proposed dynamic response modeling for renewable power generation systems including a charger/discharger with an energy storage device in order to derive a method to guarantee stable operation while fully utilizing the energy from the energy storage device. In this paper, the principle operation and design guidelines of the proposed scheme are presented, along with a performance analysis and simulation results using MATLAB and PSIM. Finally, a hardware prototype of a 1kW power conditioning system with an energy storage device has been implemented for experimental verification of the proposed converter system.

Reducing critical boron concentration in a commercial pressurized water reactor core offers many advantages in view of safety and economics. This paper presents a preliminary investigation of a reduced-boron pressurized water reactor core to achieve a clearly negative moderator temperature coefficient at hot zero power using the newly-proposed "Burnable absorber-Integrated Guide Thimble" (BigT) absorbers. The reference core is based on a commercial OPR1000 equilibrium configuration. The reduced-boron ORP1000 configuration was determined by simply replacing commercial gadolinia-based burnable absorbers with the optimized BigT-loaded design. The equilibrium cores in this study were directly searched via repetitive Monte Carlo depletion calculations until convergence. The results demonstrate that, with the same fuel management scheme as in the reference core, application of the BigT absorbers can effectively reduce the critical boron concentration at the beginning of cycle by about 65 ppm. More crucially, the analyses indicate promising potential of the reduced-boron OPR1000 core with the BigT absorbers, as its moderator temperature coefficient at the beginning of cycle is clearly more negative and all other vital neutronic parameters are within practical safety limits. All simulations were completed using the Monte Carlo Serpent code with the ENDF/B-VII.0 library.

When IoT sensor nodes are deployed in areas where data collection is challenging, sensors must be relocated if sensing holes occur due to improper placement of sensors or energy depletion, and data collection is impossible. The sensing hole's cluster header transmits a request message for sensor relocation to an adjacent cluster header through a specific relay node. However, since a specific relay node is frequently used, a member sensor located in a specific cluster area adjacent to the sensing hole can continuously receive the movement message. In this paper, we propose a method that avoids the situation in which the sensing hole cluster header monopolizes a specific relay node and allows the cluster header to use multiple relay nodes fairly. Unlike the existing method in which the relay node immediately responds to the request of the header, the method proposed in this paper solves a ping-pong problem and a problem that the request message is concentrated on a specific relay node by applying a method of responding to the request of the header using a timer. OMNeT++ simulator was used to analyze the performance of the proposed method.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 네트워크의 수명을 증가시키기 위해 주변 환경으로부터 에너지를 수집하거나, 무선 전력 전송으로 직접 에너지를 전달하는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 또한 에너지의 불균형을 줄이고 데이터의 수집량을 증가시키기 위해 직접 센서 노드를 방문해서 자료를 수집하는 모바일 싱크 노드를 활용한 방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 각 센서 노드가 네트워크 환경과 에너지를 고려하여 Minimum Depth Tree (MDT)를 구성하고 자식 노드에 자료수집량을 할당해줌으로써 중계 노드의 부하를 줄이고 전체적으로 많은 데이터를 고르게 수집하는 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 본 기법은 기존의 다른 기법에 비해 에너지 고갈을 효과적으로 억제하고 더 많은 자료를 수집하는 것을 보여준다.

태양 에너지 기반 센서 네트워크는 배터리 기반과는 다른 에너지 최적화 기법이 필요하다. 태양 에너지는 주기적으로 계속해서 공급되므로, 기본적으로는 센서 시스템을 영원히 동작하게 할 수 있지만, 공급되는 에너지양의 불확실성과 이를 저장하는 배터리의 용량 제한 등 고려해야 할 사항이 많다. 이 논문에서 우리는 태양 에너지 기반 센서 네트워크를 위한 안정적인 스토리지 시스템인 SolarSS를 제안한다. SolarSS는 계층적인 구조로 되어 있는데 각 계층마다 센싱 데이터의 수집, 노드 고장으로 인한 데이터 손실을 줄이기 위한 데이터 복제, 그리고 리소스 고갈로 인한 데이터 손실을 줄이기 위한 데이터 균등화 기능이 포함되어 있다 특히, 우리 시스템은 사용 가능한 에너지의 양에 따라 활성화/비활성화 되는 계층을 동적으로 결정하고, 데이터의 손실을 최소화하기 위한 효율적인 리소스(에너지 및 저장 공간) 할당 기법과 데이터 분배 기법을 제공한다.

A transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layer was applied in crystalline Si (c-Si) solar cells without use of the conventional SiNx-coating. A high quality indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer was directly deposited on an emitter layer of a Si wafer. Three different types of emitters were formed by controlling the phosphorous diffusion condition. A light-doped emitter forming a thinner emitter junction showed an improved photoconversion efficiency of 14.1% comparing to 13.2% of a heavy-doped emitter. This was induced by lower recombination within a narrower depletion region of the light-doped emitter. In the aspect of light management, the intermediate refractive index of ITO is effective to reduce the light reflection leading the enhanced carrier generation in a Si absorber. For the electrical aspect, the ITO layer serves as an efficient electrical conductor and thus relieves the burden of high contact resistance of the light-doped emitter. Additionally, the ITO works as a buffer layer of Ag and Si and certainly prevents the shunting problem of Ag penetration into Si emitter region. It discusses an efficient design scheme of TCO-embedded emitter Si solar cells.
