본논문에서는 클라이언트-서버 환경에서 DQDB-SR 네트워크 대역폭을 모든 스테이션에게 공병하게 할당하기 위한 새로운 방식을 제안하였다. 제안한 방식은 클라이언트-서버 부하 패턴의 특성을 따르는 접근 임계값과 대역폭 빌림과 반환 방식을 사용하여 DQDB-SR에게 공평한 대역폭 제어 기능을 제공한다. 이를 구현하기 위해 DQDB-SR의 처리 용량을 최대로 하는 소거 노드의 위치와 접근 임계값을 구하였다. 제안한 방식이 과부하시 클라이언트-서버 부하 패턴에 대하여 네트워크 처리 능력을 저하시키지 않고 패킷 전송 성공률과 평균 패킷 전달 지연 시간에 있어 다른 공정성 제어 방식들 보다 우수하다는 것을 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 확인하였다.

본 논문은 OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템에서 PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) 감소 기법으로 복잡도가 낮은 컴팬딩 (companding) 기법을 고려한다. 기존의 컴팬딩 함수는 시스템 요구 사항에 따라 설계하기 어렵고 비트오류율 성능 열화가 매우 큰 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 임의의 최대 PAPR 값을 제공하고 그에 따라 비트오류율 성능이 점진적으로 바뀌는 스케일러블 컴팬딩 함수를 제안한다. 제안하는 컴팬딩 함수는 시스템이 요구하는 PAPR 성능과 비트오류율 성능에 따라 쉽게 설계할 수 있으며, 모의실험 결과 같은 PAPR 조건에서 기존의 클리핑이나 $\mu$-low 기법보다 우수한 비트오류율 성능을 제공함을 볼 수 있다.

The occurrence of partial discharge (PD) in solid dielectrics is very harmful because it leads to the deterioration of insulation by electrical, chemical, and thermal reactions as a combined action of the discharged ions bombarding the surface and by the action of chemical compounds that are formed by the discharge. Consequently, if any defects are present in the solid insulation system, performance decreases until the system breaks down. Therefore, removing or suppressing the defect is very important. Voids are a typical defect in the solid insulation system and are very harmful because they deteriorate insulation. As a basic step, studying the properties of PD in voids is important because an accurate knowledge of these properties is required to estimate the deterioration of voids. In this paper, the correlation between the size of voids and internal PD is discussed as a function of the time of the applied voltage and its magnitude. Magnitude, repetition rate, average discharge power, and average discharge current of PD in specimens with large voids were found to be larger than the others in this experiment. The smaller specimens had voids when the magnitude and number of PDs were reduced.

As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in Jejudo Island increases, the secondary use of EV batteries is becoming increasingly mandatory not only in reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also in promoting resource conservation. For the secondary use of EV batteries, their capacity and performance at the end of automotive service should be evaluated properly. In this study, the battery state information from the on-board diagnostics or OBD2 port was acquired in real time while driving three distinct routes in Jejudo Island, and then the battery operating characteristics were assessed with the driving routes. The route with higher altitude led to higher current output, i.e., higher C-rate, which would reportedly deteriorate state of health (SOH) faster. In addition, the SOH obtained from the battery management system (BMS) of a 2017 Kia Soul EV with a mileage of 55,000 km was 100.2%, which was unexpectedly high. This finding was confirmed by the SOH estimation based on the ratio of the current integral to the change in state of charge. The SOH larger than 100% can be attributed to the rated capacity that was lower than the nominal capacity in EV application. Therefore, considering the driving environment and understanding the SOH estimation process will be beneficial and necessary in evaluating the capacity and performance of retired batteries for post-vehicle applications.

This study examines the utilization effect of FTA on the sales and profit of the secondary auto-part suppliers in two aspects: 1) firm-level survey on the utilization of FTA and 2) statistical inference on the FTA effects on their sales and profit. We use the GLS statistical technique, panel and survey data of 130 secondary auto-part suppliers in the Daegu and Kyungpook area in 2007-2016. The evidence shows that the secondary auto-part suppliers struggle to prepare documents for the FTA certificates of origin due to their small firm size, although they utilize the FTA at the relatively high rate of 92 percent. Statistical evidence shows that an increase in the export of the first vender significantly affects the sale of the secondary auto-part vendors, but not their profit. The low profit and high managing cost of utilizing the FTA deteriorate the utilization effect of the FTA of the secondary auto-part vendors, which is a key factor in a global supply chain and for the competitiveness of the automobile industry. Government policies are required for the secondary auto-part suppliers to utilize the FTA more effectively and share the benefits of tariff reduction with first auto-part vendors under FTA transaction.

Post-earthquake fire is a major threat since most structures are designed allowing some damage during strong earthquakes, which will expose a more vulnerable structure to post-earthquake fire compared to an intact structure. A series of experimental research on steel-concrete composite beam-to-column joints subjected to fire after cyclic loading has been carried out and a clear reduction of fire resistance due to the partial damage caused by cyclic loading was observed. In this paper, by using ABAQUS a robust finite element model is developed for exploring the performance of steel-concrete composite joints in post-earthquake fire scenarios. After validation of these models with the previously conducted experimental results, a comprehensive numerical analysis is performed, allowing influential parameters affecting the post-earthquake fire behavior of the steel-concrete composite joints to be identified. Specifically, the level of pre-damage induced by cyclic loading is regraded to deteriorate mechanical and thermal properties of concrete, material properties of steel, and thickness of the fire protection layer. It is found that the ultimate temperature of the joint is affected by the load ratio while fire-resistant duration is relevant to the heating rate, both of which change due to the damage induced by the cyclic loading.

Mangyeong River and Dongjin River are highly dependent on external regions for domestic and agricultural water, and the agricultural water supply and use system of those rivers are very complicated. For smooth water supply, rivers are used as a supply system. Of the total river water use permits (as of 2019), agricultural water accounts for 97.5%, 80.4% in Mangyeong River and Dongjin River, respectively. The excessive intake of river water as agricultural purpose is causing the stream to dry out and to deteriorate the ecological health of the river. It is necessary to minimize the water use system that takes in and utilizes river water. In both rivers, the flow rate of agricultural drainage and the load of major water quality items that flowing into the main stream are similar to or higher than those of the major tributaries, indicating that management is necessary to improve the water quality of the river. It is necessary to understand the effect of agricultural drainage on river water quality by establishing a continuous monitoring system for the form of agricultural drainage.

The ventricular assist device(VAD) helps to reduce the overload against the patient's native heart(NH). The pulsatile VAD pumps out the ventricular blood to the aorta with pulsatile flow. If the VAD pulsates simultaneously with the NH, the ventricle of the NH could confronts abnormally elevated aortic pressure, and this could deteriorate the ventricle rather than assist to recover it. Thus counterpulsation algorithms to avoid copulsation have been adopted by many VADs, but these methods utilize electrocardiography or arterial pressure signals, which may have difficulties to acquire consistently for a long period. In this study, the copulsation estimation algorithm for the counterpulsation is developed using the VAD outlet pressure signal. The VAD outlet pressure signal is good to maintain for a long time and the sensor part could be integrated to the VAD as a built-in module. From the VAD outlet pressure signal and its pump rate information calculated with Fast Fourier Transform, pulse peaks by the VAD and the NH were extracted and the next copulsation time at which the VAD and the NH would pulsate simultaneously was estimated. This estimation algorithm was implemented by using PC MATLAB software and tested for various pump rate conditions with mock circulation system. For each condition, the copulsation time was estimated successfully. Consequently, the results showed the possibility to use the outlet cannula pressure signal in the copulsation estimation.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 비전에서 시차를 이용하여 근거리뿐만 아니라 원거리의 장애 물체에 대해서도 신뢰성 있는 거리를 추정하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시차를 이용한 거리 측정에서 양자화 오차는 원거리에서의 거리 정확도를 떨어뜨리게 되므로, 이를 최소화하기 위해 부화소 보간법(sub-pixel interpolation)을 이용하여 시차 정확도를 향상시키고 거리 정확도 및 경로 추적의 최적화를 위해서 향상된 적응형 퍼지 칼만 필터(EAFSTKF : Enhanced Adaptive Fuzzy Strong Tracking Kalman Filter)를 사용한다. 제안한 방법은 차량과 같이 다양한 동적인 움직임에 의한 비선형성에 대하여 기존 칼만 필터에서 발생되는 발산 문제(divergence problem)를 해결할 수 있고, 거리의 정확도 및 신뢰도도 높일 수 있다. 몬테카를로(Monte Carlo) 방법을 이용한 모의실험 결과 제안한 방법은 기존 방법들과 거리 오차율(RMSER : Root Mean Square Error Rate)을 비교하였을 때, strong tracking Kalman filter(STKF)에 비하여 성능이 약 13.5%정도 향상되었음을 보여준다.

Aging is associated with decreased energy expenditure, thermogenesis and energy requirements. Maintenance of physical fitness of the elderly has been reported to reduce the rate at which the basal metabolic rate, muscle strength, skeletal muscle mass and bone density deteriorate. Skeletal muscle disease is known to increase the risk of physical disability and psychological problems. This study was conducted to investigate changes in disability, emotional problems, body compositions, obesity indices and nutrient intake levels according to physical fitness with the elderly in rural areas. According to the results, physical fitness was negatively related with Activities of Daily Living(ADL, p<0.05), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living(IADL, p<0.001), Body Mass Index(BMI, p<0.001) and abdominal obesity(p<0.05), while it showed a positive correlation with the General Self Efficacy Scale(GSES)(p<0.001) and nutrient intake(p<0.05). When changes in these factors were compared according to the range of quartile of the Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale(FAB Scale), GSES(Q1=35.3, Q2=43.5, Q3=53.2, Q4=51.9, p<0.001), BMI(Q1=36.1%, Q2=34.7%, Q3=33.2%, Q4=28.6%, p<0.01), abdominal obesity(Q1=1.02, Q2=0.99, Q3=0.97, Q4=0.94, p<0.001) and nutrient intake(Q1=71.1%, Q2=75.4%, Q3=80.6%, Q4=80.2%, p<0.05) differed significantly. Taken together, these results suggested that better physical fitness would lead to a reduction in negative factors including physical disability and obesity indices, but to an increase in positive factors such as GSES and nutrient intake. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the development of programs to promote the health of the elderly in a local society.
