  • A field study was performed to test effectiveness of a bloluminescent genetically engineered microorganism (GEM) for bioremediation process monitoring and control. The study employed Pseudomonas fluorescens HK44 that was the first strain approved for field application in the U.S. for bioremediation purposes. HK44 contains lux gene fused within a naphthalene degradative pathway, allowing this GEM to bioluminesce as it degrades naphthalene as well as substituted naphthalenes and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) , Results showed that HK44 was maintained in both PAH-contarninated and uncontaminated soils even 660 days after inoculation. HK44 was able to produce bioluminescence in response to PAHs in soil. Although effectiveness of chemical remediation was not assessed due to heterogeneous distribution of contaminants, decreased concentration of naphthalene was shown in the soils, Taken together, HK44 was useful for in situ bioremediation process monitoring and control. This work is so far the only field release of a GEM for bioremediation purposes.

  • Benign lung tumors compose a heterogeneous group of solid growths that present variations in clinical features, depending on whether the origin is within the bronchus on lung parenchyma or from visceral pleura. Benign tumors of the lung are relatively uncommon, and series are to be found in the literature and the classification of benign tumors of the lung continues to be controversial because of disagreement concerning the origin and prognosis of many common lesions. We adopt Liebows original classification but excluded bronchial adenoma which no longer considered as benign tumor and added pulmonary A-V fistula and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. We analyzed 61 cases of benign tumors which were composed of 16 original Korean cases and 45 cases which were reported on journal of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery. The results were. [1] Incidence; Of 61 cases, chondromatous hamartoma was 2 cases [41 %], congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation 10 cases [16.4 %], pulmonary A-V fistula 5 cases [8.1 %], sclerosing hemangioma 4 cases [6.5 %], teratoma, plasma cell granuloma & mesothelioma were 3 cases [4.9%], Castlemans disease 2 cases [3.3%], and mucous gland adenoma, paraganglioma, and leiomyoma 1 case [1.6 %]. [2] Age & Sex distribution; Male 30 cases and female 31 cases. Mean age was 31.4 years old. [3] Main symptom; was coughing, 32.8%, and no symptom, 24.6%. [4] Sixty eight percentage of chest film showed mass density, and 4 cases showed calcification, 2 cases had lobulation. [5] Size of mass was large and multiple mass was 2 cases. Endobronchial tumors were 9 cases, 14.9 %. [6] Three cases of endobronchial tumor were preoperatively diagnosed by bronchoscopy and 2 cases of pulmonary A-V fistula were diagnosed by pulmonary arteriography. [7] Seven cases, 11.5%, had associating diseases such as bronchogenic cyst, thymic cyst, Schwannoma, situs inversus, bronchiectasis and bronchogenic carcinoma. [8] Minor resection such as excision 8i: wedge resection were 15 cases, 26.2 %, and 6 cases, 75.4 %, of lobectomy were performed including 5 cases of pneumonectomy 5 cases had. [9] Postoperative complications; One case, 1.6 %, expired due to respiratory insufficiency. Two cases had re-operation due to bleeding and hemoptysis.

  • To address the challenge of unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic, ultra-dense network deployment is a cost efficient solution to offload the traffic over some small cells. The overlapped coverage areas of small cells create more than one candidate access points for one mobile user. Signal strength based user association in IEEE 802.11 results in a significantly unbalanced load distribution among access points. However, the effective bandwidth demand of each user actually differs vastly due to their different preferences for mobile applications. In this paper, we formulate a set of non-linear integer programming models for joint user association control and user demand guarantee problem. In this model, we are trying to maximize the system capacity and guarantee the effective bandwidth demand for each user by soft-association control with a software defined network controller. With the fact of NP-hard complexity of non-linear integer programming solver, we propose a Kernighan Lin Algorithm based graph-partitioning method for a large-scale network. Finally, we evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm for the edge users with heterogeneous bandwidth demands and mobility scenarios. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive soft-association control can achieve a better performance than the other two and improves the individual quality of user experience with a little price on system throughput.

  • During excavation work for the construction of a highway bridge in a limestone area in Korea, several cavities were found, and construction work was stopped temporarily. Cavities under the bridge piers might seriously threaten the safety of the planned bridge, because they could lead to excessive subsidence and differential settlement of the pier foundations. In order to establish a method for reinforcement of the pier foundations, borehole radar reflection and tomography surveys were carried out, to locate cavities under the planned pier locations and to determine their sizes where they exist. Since travel time data from the crosshole radar survey showed anisotropy, we applied an anisotropic tomography inversion algorithm assuming heterogeneous elliptic anisotropy, in order to reconstruct three kinds of tomograms: tomograms of maximum and minimum velocities, and of the direction of the symmetry axis. The distribution of maximum velocity matched core logging results better than that of the minimum velocity. The degree of anisotropy, defined by the normalized difference between maximum and minimum velocities, was helpful in deciding whether an anomalous zone in a tomogram was a cavity or not. By careful examination of borehole radar reflection and tomography images, the spatial distributions of cavities were delineated, and most of them were interpreted as being filled with clay and/or water. All the interpretation results implied that two faults imaged clearly by a DC resistivity survey were among the most important factors controlling the groundwater movement in the survey area, and therefore were closely related to the development of cavities. The method of reinforcement of the pier foundations was based on the interpretation results, and the results were confirmed when construction work was resumed.

  • 물체 표면의 재질을 실물에 가깝게 렌더링 하는 것은 그래픽 콘텐츠의 사실감을 위한 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문은 속성이 다른 여러 구성 물질에 의해 복잡한 무늬가 형성된 표면을 한 장의 스틸 사진만을 이용하여 셰이딩하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존 방법들은 이와 같은 이종물질에 의한 불규칙한 텍스처의 렌더링을 위해 많은 이미지를 필요로 하거나 특수 촬영 장비를 사용했으며, 수작업에 의해 물질별 표면 영역을 나누어 주어야 했다. 본 연구에서는 영상의 히스토그램 분포 특성에 따른 물질별 텍스처 영역 분할법의 자동 선택 방식을 제시하였고, 그 결과로 구분된 물질별 레이어에 대해 근사화(approximate)된 양방향 반사도 분포함수(BRDF) 값을 구함으로써 주어진 사진과 다른 조명 조건이나 시야(view)에 대해서도 대응되는 렌더링 및 셰이딩 결과를 생성할 수 있음을 보였다.

  • NiO-coated YSZ powder was prepared using heterogeneous precipitation of Ni hydroxides on YSZ particle surface and high energy milling. The powders were characterized by TG/DTA, XRD, XPS, and SEM. Amorphous Ni precipitate completely decomposed into NiO at $500^{\circ}C$ and the growth of NiO crystallites was constrained by the core particles. Nanocrystalline NiO-coated YSZ core-shell structure powder could be obtained after calcination at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. A core-shell powder compact, due to high sinterability, showed a near theoretical density at $1350^{\circ}C$. After reduction at $900^{\circ}C$, interpenetrating Ni-YSZ microstructure with very uniformly distributed fine Ni and YSZ grains and pores was observed. In contrast, the mechanically mixed oxide sample showed less uniform distribution of pores and larger discontinuous We particles as compared with the core-shell samples.

  • 본 논문은 확률적 DTN 모델 내에서 효율적인 중계 노드를 선택하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. Delay Tolerant Network(DTN)은 효율적인 통신을 위해 묶음 계층(bundle layer)를 생성해 서로 다른 네트워크 및 이기종간의 네트워크 간 중계 노드를 선택하고 메시지를 전달하는 Carry and forward 방식을 사용한다. DTN은 기본적으로 유동적인 노드로 구성되어 고정된 라우팅 루트가 없으며 간헐적인 연결로 인해 긴 지연시간을 가진다. 따라서 DTN을 구성하는 노드들은 필수적으로 메시지를 저장하기 위한 특성을 가지며 저장된 메시지와 노드의 용량은 네트워크의 성능에 영향을 주게 된다. 확률적 DTN 모델은 이러한 DTN의 성능을 분석하기 위해 시간에 따라 무작위적으로 변화하는 Markov 모델을 제안하였다. 하지만 제안된 확률적 DTN 모델에서는 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법에 대한 연구가 미비하였다. 본 논문은 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 확률적 DTN 모델에서 메시지의 생성과 소멸을 통해 분석된 확률적 메시지 분포와 상호 접촉 시간을 이용해 효율적인 중계 노드를 선택하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

  • A tubular packed bed reactor for the steam-$CO_2$ combined reforming of natural gas to produce the synthesis gas of a target $H_2/CO$ ratio 2.0 was simulated. The effects of the reactor dimension, the feed gas composition, and the gas feeding temperature upon the possibility of coke formation across the catalyst bed were investigated. For this purpose, 2-dimensional heterogeneous reactor model was used to determine the local gas concentrations and temperatures over the catalyst bed. The thermodynamic potential distribution of coke formation was determined by comparing the extent of reaction with the equilibrium constant given by the reaction, $CH_4+2CO{\Leftrightarrow}3C+2H_2O$. The simulation showed that catalysts packed in the central region nearer the entrance of the reactor were more prone to coking because of the regional characteristics of lower temperature, lower concentration of $H_2O$, and higher concentration of CO. With the higher feeding temperature, the feed gas composition of the increased $H_2O$ and correspondingly decreased $CO_2$, or the decrease in the reactor diameter, the volume fraction of the catalyst bed subsequent to coking could be diminished. Throughout the simulation, reactor dimension and reaction condition for coking-free operation were suggested.

  • 사물인터넷(Internet of Things) 환경의 사물들은 네트워크를 통해 정보를 교환하여 다양한 서비스가 이루어진다. 사물인터넷을 구성하는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)은 무선 센서 노드를 물리적인 공간에 배치하여 구성된 네트워크로 사물의 식별, 센싱, 통신 등의 기술이 더해져 다양한 목적으로 운용된다. 대표적으로 저가 저전력 장치들로 구성된 지그비(Zigbee) 네트워크는 지역 모니터링 및 원격 장치제어에 활용된다. 다양한 WSN으로 구성된 사물인터넷은 네트워크 간 통신 규약 및 데이터 표현이 상이하여 상호운용에 제약이 있지만 실시간 통신 미들웨어 표준인 DDS(Data Distribution Service)를 통해 이질적인 네트워크 간 상호연결 및 정보교환이 가능하다. 본 논문은 지그비 네트워크와 사물인터넷의 다른 네트워크 간 양방향 데이터/이벤트/서비스 연동을 위한 지그비 어댑터 설계를 다룬다. DDS 기반의 지그비 어댑터는 지그비 표준을 따라 지그비 네트워크와 통신하고 다양한 구성요소 간 유기적인 동작으로 지그비 네트워크와 사물인터넷의 다른 네트워크 간 상호운용을 가능케 한다.
