  • In this paper, we propose the synchronization recovery algorithm which is suitable to wireless Multimedia of wireless channel situation which is being used OFDM signaling method. The basic of the suggested clock synchronization. restoration Algorithm is to getting the shock response of channel or getting the multipath strength profile through IFTT after the getting the frequency, response of deducted channel from channel deducted of receiver and to trace the location in the channel energy concentrated area of timing area. And it also analysis the start point of 64-QAM and 16-QAM if the sampling clock offset has the sample of ${\pm}$ 1-3, and we identified the occurance of performance deterioration when occures more than 2 samples of offset to compare with star point and BER performance in optimum sampling point result of BER performance checking, and we know that the recovery algorithm proposed algorithm also provide excellent synchronization characteries under frequency, selecting fading channel as result of simulation.

  • The next generation small satellite-1 (NEXTSat-1) program has been kicked off in 2012, and it will be launched in 2016 for the science missions and the verification of space core technologies. The payloads for these science missions are the Instrument for the Study of Space Storms (ISSS) and NIR Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history (NISS). The ISSS and the NISS have been developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Korea Astronomy and Space science Institute (KASI) respectively. The ISSS detects plasma densities and particle fluxes of 10 MeV energy range near the Earth and the NISS uses spectrometer. In order to verify the spacecraft core technologies in the space, the total of 7 space core technologies (SCT) will be applied to the NEXTSat-1 for space verification and those are under development. Thus, the operation modes for the ISSS and the NISS for space science missions and 7 SCTs for technology missions are analyzed for the required operation time during the NEXTSat-1's mission life time of 2 years. In this paper, the operational concept of the NEXTSat-1's science missions as well as the verification of space core technologies are presented considering constraints of volume, mass, and power after launch.

  • This study is numerical analysis on the increasing temperature characteristics of vaporizer fin for liquefied natural gas with super low temperature. Existing LNG vaporizers use the direct contact heat transfer mode where the extreme super low temperature LNG of $-162^{\circ}C$ flows inside of the tubes and about $20^{\circ}C$air flows on outside of the fin. Recently, the vaporizers with great enhanced performance compared to conventional type have been developed to fulfill these requirements. The vaporizing characteristic of LNG vaporizer with air as heat source has a fixed iced. These characteristic cause a low efficiency in vaporizer, total plant cost and installing space can be increased. The vaporizing characteristics of LNG via heat exchanger with air are analytically studied for an air heating type vaporizer. This study is intended to supply the design data for the domestic fabrication of the thickness and angle vaporizer fin. Governing conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy are solved by STAR-CD based on an finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm. Calculation parameter is fin thickness, setup angle and LNG temperature. If the vaporization performance of the early stage and late stage of operating is considered, the case of ${\phi}=90^{\circ}$ was very suitable. In this paper was estimated that the heat transfer was most promoted in case of THF=2mm.

  • We built a $8{\mu}m$ selected sample of galaxies in the NEP-AKARI field by defining 4 redshift bins with the four AKARI bands at 11, 15, 18 and 24 microns (0.15 < z < 0.49, 0.75 < z < 1.34, 1.34 < z < 1.7 and 1.7 < z < 2.05). Our sample contains 4079 sources, 599 are securely detected with Herschel/PACS. Also adding ultraviolet (UV) data from GALEX, we fit the spectral energy distributions using the physically motivated code CIGALE to extract the star formation rate, stellar mass, dust attenuation and the AGN contribution to the total infrared luminosity ($L_{IR}$). We discuss the impact of the adopted attenuation curve and that of the wavelength coverage to estimate these physical parameters. We focus on galaxies with a luminosity close the characteristic $L^*_{IR}$ in the different redshift bins to study the evolution with redshift of the dust attenuation in these galaxies.

  • We present a summary of our spectroscopic redshift catalogue of 404 sources in the AKARI Deep Field South (ADF-S). We have used the AAOmega spectrograph to target mid-infrared and far-infrared sources selected primarily from AKARI observations in this field for which we were able to obtain optical counterparts. Our sources with identified redshifts include 316 with $H{\alpha}$ detections at $z{\leq}0.345$ and 15 sources at z > 1 with MgII or $Ly{\alpha}$ emission lines. About 13% of our $z{\leq}0.345$ sources are dominated by active galactic nuclei (AGN) emission, although many show emission from both star formation and AGNs. The median Balmer decrement is 5.9. Ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) were found only in the higher-redshift sources. Optical and near infrared data will be available shortly, enabling calibration of the line luminosities and spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting for these sources.

  • Since continuous descent operations (CDO) is one of several tools available to aircraft operators and air navigation service providers (ANSPs) to increase safety, flight predictability, and airspace capacity while reducing noise, controller-pilot communications, fuel burn and emissions, widespread implementation of CDO would result in significant reductions in the environmental impact and aircraft operation costs in south korea as well. After analyzing each procedure from standard terminal arrival routes used for the Incheon international airport, it can be noticed that one of the procedures has a relatively high altitude constraint at initial approach fix than others, which lead the pilots to use unnecessary drag device in certain situations. Therefore we came to a conclusion that some arrival procedures need to be revised, so unnecessary procedure required during approach can be minimized, thereby reducing fuel consumption, noise and emissions compared to current approach procedures. And it is going to increase the safety margin significantly during approach phase due to reduced workload.

  • 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널(PDP)은 공정 절차가 간단하고 가격 경쟁력이 매우 뛰어나 일찌감치 대형 평판 디스플레이 시장을 주도해 왔으며 빠른 응답 속도를 기반으로 한 생생한 화질의 구현으로 3D TV 시장에서도 꾸준한 사랑을 받고 있다. 향후 더 큰 화면을 요구하는 PID(Public Information Display) 시장에서도 PDP 는 두각을 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 하지만 PDP 는 여전히 LCD, OLED 등의 디스플레이에 비해 발광 효율이 낮고 소비 전력이 높다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 또한 미국 환경청(EPA)과 에너지부(DOE)가 공동으로 마련한 전자 제품의 효율 등급제인 에너지 스타(Energy Star) 제도가 끊임없이 개편되면서 소비 전력에 대한 규제가 점차 강화되고 있기 때문에 발광 효율 및 소비 전력 특성의 개선은 현재 PDP 업계가 해결해야 할 가장 중요한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 발광 효율의 개선과 관련하여 최근에는 PDP의 보호막으로 널리 쓰이고 있는 MgO 보다 2차 전자 방출 계수가 높아 PDP의 구동 전압을 낮추는 동시에 휘도와 발광 효율 특성을 개선시킬 수 있는 신 보호막에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. MgO를 대체 가능한 신 보호막으로 언급되는 물질은 SrO 혹은 CaO 등이 대표적이다. 하지만 이러한 물질들은 공기 및 수분에 대한 용해도가 높기 때문에 증착된 막이 이후의 공정 과정(합착 및 가열 배기 등)에서 대기 중에 노출 될 경우 심하게 변질될 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 신 보호막 위에 기존의 MgO 보호막을 얇게 증착하여 공기로부터의 접촉을 차단하거나 펠렛을 제조하는 과정에서 MgO 에 신 보호막 물질을 소량만 첨가하는 등의 방법들이 제안되어 왔으며 그 결과 기존의 PDP 대비 구동 전압을 낮추고 발광 효율을 획기적으로 개선하는데 성공한 결과들이 지속적으로 보고되고 있다. 하지만 신 보호막이 공기 및 수분에 민감한 만큼, 고온의 공정으로 인해 PDP의 하판 유리로부터 상판에 증착된 박막으로 확산되는 불순물에 의해서도 오염되며 이 역시 신 보호막의 특성을 구현하는데 방해 요소로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 PDP 하판의 불순물이 상판의 박막으로 확산되는 것을 방지하고자 하판 형광체 인쇄전 PECVD 증착법으로 확산 방지막을 1 가량 형성하였다. 이후 SIMS 분석을 통하여 하판 불순물의 확산이 효과적으로 차단됨을 확인하였고 신 보호막의 오염을 최소화하여 결과적으로 PDP의 구동 전압을 낮추고 효율을 획기적으로 개선하는데 기여할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Optical imaging and spectroscopy of G353.2+0.9, the brightest part of the giant H II region NGC 6357, shows that this H II region is optically thin, contains ${\~}300\;M_{\bigodot}$ of ionized gas and is probably expanding into the surrounding medium. Its chemical composition is similar to that found in other H II regions at similar galactocentric distances if temperature fluctuations are significant. The inner regions are probably made of thin shells and filaments, whereas extended slabs of material, maybe shells seen edge-on, are found in the periphery. The radio continuum and H$\alpha$ emission maps are very similar, indicating that most of the optical nebula is not embedded in the denser regions traced by molecular gas and the presence of IR sources. About $10^{50}$ UV photons per second are required to produce the H$\beta$ flux from the 1l.3'${\times}$10' region surrounding the Pis 24 cluster that is south of G353.2+0.9. Most of the energy powering this region is produced by the 03-7 stars in Pis 24. Most of the 2MASS sources in the field with large infrared excesses are within G353.2+0.9, indicating that the most recent star forming process occured within it. The formation of Pis 24 preceded and caused the formation of this new generation of stars and may be responsible for the present-day morphology of the entire NGC 6357 region.

  • The cooperation between universities and industries is already one of the most important factors driving the national economy in the knowledge-based society of the 21st century represented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Korean government has also been carrying out legal and institutional re-adjustments to promote industrial-university cooperation in line with demands for such changes in the times. However, despite this industry-academic cooperation system, there is still a significant mismatch between industrial demand and the university's workforce development system. By the way, there is a Cooperative Education(CO-OP) in Canada and the United States. It's an innovative link between the university and the industry. The reason is that the CO-OP program not only allows students to gain experience with their majors in the industrial field, but also plays a positive role in improving their specialty expertise. In particular, field information, ideas, and job insights that students acquire through CO-OP also serve as motivation for starting a business beyond employment after graduation. Furthermore, CO-OP experience is an important opportunity for future researchers to come up with commercialized research results that are not separated from the field sites The purpose of this study is to overcome the gap between industrial demand and the college manpower training system, and develop a Korean-style coaching program model as a growth engine for creative talent-building policies, represented by 'creation of start-ups and new industry.' In addition, this study suggested measures that can be applied in real universities. In addition, the study also highlighted that the introduction of CO-OP programs with field practices in Korea could also boost start-ups. Based on the Korean CO-OP program model, the curricula applicable to domestic universities consisted of two types : general and research-oriented university types.

  • A low-cost wireless sensor network (WSN) solution with highly expandable super and simple nodes was developed. The super node was designed as a sensing unit as well as a receiving terminal with low energy consumption. The simple node was designed to serve as a cheaper alternative for large-scale deployment. A 12-bit ADC inputs and DAC outputs were reserved for sensor boards to ease the sensing integration. Vibration and thermal field tests of the Chi-Lu Bridge were conducted to evaluate the WSN's performance. Integral acceleration, temperature and tilt sensing modules were constructed to simplify the task of long-term environmental monitoring on this bridge, while a star topology was used to avoid collisions and reduce power consumption. We showed that, given sufficient power and additional power amplifier, the WSN can successfully be active for more than 7 days and satisfy the half bridge 120-meter transmission requirement. The time and frequency responses of cables shocked by external force and temperature variations around cables in one day were recorded and analyzed. Finally, guidelines on power characterization of the WSN platform and selection of acceleration sensors for structural health monitoring applications were given.
