In this paper, we propose a novel centralized energy-efficient clustering algorithm, called "MCCA : Max k-Cut based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks." The algorithm does not use location information and constructs clusters via a distributive Max k-Cut based cluster-head election method, where only relative and approximate distance information with neighbor nodes is used and nodes, not having enough energy, are excluded for cluster-heads for a specific period. We show that the energy efficiency performance of MCCA is better than that of LEACH, EECS and similar to BCDCP's by simulation studies.

Several kinds of coagulants such as aluminum sulfate, PAC, PASS are being used to treat drinking water resulting in residual aluminum ions in the water. Recently, it has been reported that high intake of aluminum ion may cause neurological dieseases such as Alzheimer's diesease and presenile dementia. Because of the possible adverse effect, WHO and EEC recommand to regulate residual aluminum. The autorities in Korea also has plan of regulating residual alunimum from 1995. But there is not enough information about the range of residual aluminum ion concentration when the aluminum sulfate, PAC or PASS has been used as a coagulant. Therefore the study has been conducted to find out the range of residual aluminum ion concentration after using aluminum sulfate, PAC, and PASS. Furthermore the effect of turbidity and alkalinity have been investigated. The experimental results are summarized as; 1. Most of the residual aluminum ion concentrations were within $10^{-6}$ and $10^{-5}mole/l$. Three coagulants have not showed any considerable difference in the residual aluminum concentration up to 50 NTU. However PAC has showed the least residual aluminum in high turbidity water over 100 NTU. 2. The low alkalinity water having 25mg/l as $CaCO_3$ has showed less residual aluminum than the water having 50mg/l alkalinity. However, the difference was not significcant. 3. Even the lowest residual aluminum concentration was over 0.05mg/l. Therefore the process to reduce residual aluminum would be necessary in water treatment plants.

We intended to show some basic requirements for spectrum analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) by visualizing the differences of the results according to different values of some parameters for analysis. Spectrum analysis is the most popular technique applied for the quantitative analysis of the electroen- cephalographic signals. Each step from signal acquisition through spectrum analysis to presentation of parameters was examined with providing some different values of parameters. The steps are:(1) signal acquisition; (2) spectrum analysis; (3) parameter extractions; and (4) presentation of results. In the step of signal acquisition, filtering and amplification of signal should be considered and sampling rate for analog-to-digital conversion is two-time faster than highest frequency component of signal. For the spectrum analysis, the length of signal or epoch size transformed to a function on frequency domain by courier transform is important. Win dowing method applied for the pre-processing before the analysis should be considered for reducing leakage problem. In the step of parameter extraction, data reduction has to be considered so that statistical comparison can be used in appropriate number of parameters. Generally, the log of power of all bands is derived from the spectrum. For good visualization and quantitative evaluation of time course of the parameters are presented in chronospectrogram.

The power control system of Smart UAV is similar to the propeller pitch governing concept of turboprop aircraft. The pilot inputs the engine power directly and the pitch governor controls the propeller pitch to maintain the propeller RPM. The manual back-up system of PW206C engine is used for the engine power control of Smart UAV. Engine performance estimation program is used to predict the control range of power lever arm(PLA) angle according to the variation of flight altitude and speed. These data provide a guide for the engine control in manual mode operation.

오늘날 항공기 설계와 제작은 다국적인 산업의 형태로 이루어지고 있다. 즉 항공기 서브시스템은 세계 각국에서 독립적으로 설계, 제작 및 시험한 후 한 곳으로 납품되어 조립 제작되는 데 이 때 중요한 것이 표준화이다. 항공전자장비의 낙뢰 간접영향에 대한 인증의 경우 RTCA DO-160E, Section 22 Lightning Induced Transient Susceptibility(낙뢰 유도 과도현상 적응성)로 표준화 되어 있다. 이 Section 22는 낙뢰 간접영향에 대한 항공전자장비 단위 즉, LRU (Line Replaceable Units)와 같은 부품단위의 시험 요건을 규정하고 있으며 이 규격은 현재 전 세계적으로 통용이 되고 있다. 1980년대 초 상용 수송기에 디지털 "Fly by Wire" 비행 시스템과 엔진제어시스템(EEC, Electronic Engine Control)의 도입 이후, 항공기 시스템이 낙뢰 환경에서 운용시 신뢰성을 보증할 필요성이 대두되었다. 데이터 처리를 통하여 제어되는 각종 항공전자장비에는 다중타격(MS)과 다중파열(MB) 기법에 의한 시험 사항이 최근 추가 되었다. 실제 낙뢰 환경과 유사한 시험실 모사를 위해 계속적인 연구가 진행 중이며 신규 시험 규격서가 새로이 출간되고 있다.

최근 온열 환경에서 인간의 쾌적감에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 온열쾌적감에 영향을 주는 요인들로는 온도, 습도, 기류 둥의 물리적 요인과 성별이나 체질 둥의 개인적인 요인들 뿐만 아니라 온열환경에서 느끼는 인간의 감성적인 측면도 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 여러가지 온열 환경 중에서 기류환경에 따른 인간의 온열 쾌적감을 평가하기 위해 생체반응의 변화 및 감성의 변화에 따른 생리신호를 분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 기류환경은 기존에 사용되고 있는 풍향변화기류 및 풍량변화기류와 새롭게 개발되어진 감성기류의 3가지 기류 조건을 제시하였고, 이에 따른 인체의 자율신경계의 반응과 감성 상태를 관찰하기 위해 심전도(ECG)와 뇌파(EEC)를 측정하여 HRV(Heart Rate Variability) 분석과 EEG 주파수 스펙트럼 분석을 시행하였다. 생리신호 분석결과 심전도의 HRV 분석에서는 감성기류가 풍향변화 기류와 풍속변화기류에 비해 HF/LF 비가 높게 나타났고, 뇌파의 주파수 스펙트럼 분석에서도 $\beta$파에 대한 뇌파의 상대 전력비가 감성기류에서 높게 나타나 감성기류가 제시된 다른 기류인 풍향변화기류나 풍속변화기류에 비해 쾌적한 온열환경 제시를 위한 기류조건이라고 평가되었다. 결론적으로 심전도의 HRV분석과 뇌파의 주파수 분석이 .제시된 기류환경의 온열쾌적감 평가에서 서로 유의한 결과를 나타냄으로써, 이들 생리신호의 분석이 온열환경에 따른 인간의 감성 변화를 객관적으로 나타내고 온열 쾌적감을 평가하는데 있어 유용한 정보가 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

Wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), high speed packet access (HSPA) and HSPA+ are third generation partnership project (3GPP) standards. These systems are the major wireless communication standards. In order to test the performance of WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ signal in a base station, the measurement hardware is required to the evaluation of the transmitted signals. In this paper, the algorithm for the performance measurement of the WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ is proposed. Also, the performance of the measurement algorithm is used to evaluate the generated signal by the WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ signal generator. Generally, the algorithm of normal modems cannot be applied to the measurement system because the signal measurement equipment needs to guarantee the high accuracy. So, the WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ signal measurement algorithm for the accurate measurement is proposed. By the simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed measurement algorithm has good performance compared with the specification. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can be usefully applied to verify the performance of the measurement using the simulation.

Connectivity and trust in social networks have been exploited to propose applications on top of these networks, including routing, Sybil defenses, and anonymous communication systems. In these networks, and for such applications, connectivity ensures good performance of applications while trust is assumed to always hold, so as collaboration and good behavior are always guaranteed. In this paper, we study the impact of differential behavior of users on performance in typical social network-enabled routing applications. We classify users into either collaborative or rational (probabilistically collaborative) and study the impact of this classification and the associated behavior of users on the performance of such applications, including random walk-based routing, shortest path based routing, breadth-first-search based routing, and Dijkstra routing. By experimenting with real-world social network traces, we make several interesting observations. First, we show that some of the existing social graphs have high routing costs, demonstrating poor structure that prevents their use in such applications. Second, we study the factors that make probabilistically collaborative nodes important for the performance of the routing protocol within the entire network and demonstrate that the importance of these nodes stems from their topological features rather than their percentage of all the nodes within the network.

Changes in the brain activities following pre-service elementary teachers' learning hypothesis-generation were investigated using the analysis of EEG relative power and EEG coherence. In this study, the experimental group (n=16) were trained using learning methods for hypothesis-generation and the control group(n=16) were trained using learning methods for hypothesis-reception over the course of 8 weeks. EEG was measured before and following the learning process for both groups. Decreased theta ($4{\sim}7.9Hz$)/alpha 1 ($8{\sim}9.9Hz$) power and increased alpha 2 ($10{\sim}l2.9Hz$)/beta ($13{\sim}29.9Hz$)/gamma ($30{\sim}50Hz$) power were showed in the experimental group. Additionally, many changes in brian activities were observed for theta, beta and gamma coherence in the experimental group. In particular, fronto-parietal coherence increased in the experimental group. These differences in brain activities between the two groups suggest that the learning for subjects' hypothesis generation presumably leads to interesting changes in some types of brain activities in pre-service elementary teachers.

The power control system of Smart UAV is similar to the propeller pitch governing concept of turboprop aircraft. The pilot adjusts the engine power directly and the pitch governor controls the propeller pitch to maintain the propeller rotational speed. The electronic engine controller(EEC) of PW206C engine developed for helicopter is not fit for the power control concept of Smart UAV, and therefore the manual back-up system of PW206C engine is used for the engine power control of Smart UAV. Engine performance estimation program is used to predict the control range of power lever angle(PLA) according to the variation of engine output shaft speed, flight altitude and flight speed. These data provide a guide for the PLA control in manual mode operation.
