The design of a measurement system to perform Harmonic State Estimation(HSE) is a very complex problem. In particular, the number of available harmonic analysis measurement instruments is always limited. Therefore, a systematic procedure is needed to design the optimal placement of measurement points. This paper presents an optimal algorithm of HSE which is based on an optimal placement of measurement points using Immune Algorithm (IAs). This IA-HSE has been applied to power system for the validation of an optimal algorithm of HSE. The study results have indicated an economical and effective method for optimal placement of measurement points using Immune Algorithm (IAs) in the HSE.

Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is characterized by spontaneous hypoglycemia, extremely high serum insulin levels, and high titers of autoantibodies against endogenous insulin, in the absence of exogenous insulin injection. IAS often occurs following exposure to sulfhydryl-containing drugs, including alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). A 30-year-old woman without diabetes visited our outpatient clinic with recurrent hypoglycemia. She had been taken ALA for weight reduction since 3 weeks ago. Further hypoglycemia work up revealed very high insulin levels, C-Peptide levels and positive insulin antibodies. And conventional imaging examinations were negative for insulinoma or other pancreatic tumors. Finally, the diagnosis of Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) was made. Following the cessation of ALA, hypoglycemia improved, with no medication, and the patient experienced no further hypoglycemic attacks over the next month. The use of ALA as a nutritional supplement is increasing. We report a case of IAS associated with ALA in a non-diabetic patient.

본 연구에서는 CBM의 1차 생산뿐 아니라 $CO_2$나 $N_2$ 주입을 통한 ECBM, 혹은 지중저장을 목적으로 석탄층에 $CO_2$를 주입할 때 발생할 수 있는 암체의 부피변화 영향을 고려하여 기존의 Langmuir 흡착 관계식을 개선하였다. 본 모델의 검증을 위해 $CO_2$나 $CH_4$, $N_2$의 단일성분 흡착실험 데이터에 기존 Langmuir 모델값과 본 모델의 결과값을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 기존 모델에서는 흡착용량이 큰 석탄일수록, 흡착친화도가 큰 가스일수록 실험값과 모델값 사이의 오차가 커지는 경향이 나타났지만 본 모델에서는 모든 조건에서 실험결과를 잘 묘사하였고 본 모델을 통해 예측한 부피변형률 역시 실험값과 유사함을 확인하였다. 이렇게 개선된 단일성분 흡착모델을 혼합가스의 흡착모델인 IAS 모델에 적용하여 부피변화가 고려된 IAS모델로 개선하였다. 그 결과 혼합가스에 대한 흡착거동 역시 기존 모델에 비해 정확도를 높였고 이는 Hall 등(1994)이 수행한 혼합가스의 흡착실험결과와의 매칭을 통해 확인하였다.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in geographically isolated applications like military border area monitoring, battle field surveillance, forest fire detection systems, etc. Uninterrupted power supply is not possible in isolated locations and hence sensor nodes live on their own battery power. Localization of sensor nodes in isolated locations is important to identify the location of event for further actions. Existing localization algorithms consume more energy at sensor nodes for computation and communication thereby reduce the lifetime of entire WSNs. Existing approaches also suffer with less localization coverage and localization accuracy. The objective of the proposed work is to increase the lifetime of WSNs while increasing the localization coverage and localization accuracy. A novel intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle anchor node (IUAN) is proposed to reduce the communication cost at sensor nodes during localization. Further, the localization computation cost is reduced at each sensor node by the proposed intelligent arc selection (IAS) algorithm. IUANs construct the location-distance messages (LDMs) for sensor nodes deployed in isolated locations and reach the Control Station (CS). Further, the CS aggregates the LDMs from different IUANs and computes the position of sensor nodes using IAS algorithm. The life time of WSN is analyzed in this paper to prove the efficiency of the proposed localization approach. The proposed localization approach considerably extends the lifetime of WSNs, localization coverage and localization accuracy in isolated environments.

Soil erosion in North Korea has been continued to accelerate by deterioration of topographical conditions. However, few studies have been conducted to predict the amount of soil loss in North Korea due to limited data so far. Rainfall erosivity is an important factor to predict the amount of long-term annual soil loss by USLE (universal soil loss equation). The purpose of this study is to investigate rainfall erosivity, which presented the potential risk of soil erosion by water, in North Korea. Annual rainfall erosivities for 27 stations in North Korea for 1983~2010 were calculated using regression models based on modified Institute of Agricultural Sciences (IAS) index in this study. The result showed that annual average rainfall erosivity in North Korea ranged from 2,249 to 7,526 and averaged value was $4,947MJmm\;ha^{-1}\;hr^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, which corresponded to about 70% of annual average rainfall erosivity in South Korea. The finding was that the potential risk of soil erosion in North Korea has been accelerated by the increase of rainfall erosivity since the late 1990s.

Background: Knowledge of the spatial trends of plant invasions in different habitats is essential for a better understanding of the process of these invasions. We examined the variation in invasive alien plant species (IAS) richness and composition at two spatial scales defined by elevation and habitat types (roadside, forest, and cultivated lands) in the Makawanpur district of Nepal. Following an elevation gradient ranging from 500 to 2,400 m asl along a mountain road, plant species cover was recorded within sample plots of size 10 m × 5 m. Systematic random sampling was adopted in every 100 m elevation intervals on three habitat types. Results: Altogether 18 invasive alien plants belonging to eight families were recorded within 60 plots, of which 14 species (representing 80%) were from tropical North and South America. The most common plants by their frequency were Ageratina adenophora, Chromolaena odorata, Bidens pilosa, Lantana camara, and Parthenium hysterophorus. We found a significant relationship between species composition and elevation in the study area. Low-elevation regions had a higher number of alien species as compared to high-elevation regions within different habitat types. Conclusions: The species richness and density of IAS were higher in the road site followed by the cultivated land and forest sites. This pattern occurred throughout the elevation range and habitats. IAS were found mostly in the open land with high sunlight availability. Information from such scientific assessment of invasive alien plants will assist in developing appropriate management plans in the Makawanpur district.

본 연구에서 국내의 농경지 내 생태계교란식물의 분포를 알아보고자 한다. 생태계교란식물 9종의 지역적 분포를 알아보기 위해 분포지도를 작성하였다. 단풍잎돼지풀과 돼지풀은 전국적인 분포를 보였으나 단풍잎돼지풀은 경기북부에 집중적으로 발생하고 있었고, 돼지풀은 경우에는 강원 및 전라 지역을 제외한 전국에 고르게 분포하고 있었다. 미국쑥부쟁이는 경기도 및 강원도 지역에 집중적으로 분포하고 있었으며, 가시상추의 경우 서북-동남 방향으로 분포하고 있었다. 서양금혼초는 제주도에 집중적으로 발생하고 있었고, 도깨비가지는 주로 경기 동부 지역에 분포하고 있었다. 애기수영과 가시박의 경우 전국에 산발적으로 발생하고 있었으나 경기도 지역에 상대적으로 많은 비율로 발생하고 있었으며, 서양등골나물은 경기도 연천군의 과수원 및 밭작물 재배지에만 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 농경지 내 생태계교란식물의 분포는 비농경지와 거의 같은 경향을 보였으며, 이는 농경지의 생태적 지위가 비농경지와 다르지 않음을 의미한다. 따라서 작물의 수량 및 품질을 떨어뜨리기 때문에 잡초를 관리해야한다는 인식에서 더 나아가 주변 생태계에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 제거해야 한다는 인식의 전환이 필요하다. 또한, 각 생태계 교란식물의 효율적인 방제를 위해 제초제 약효/약해 연구나 발아생리 연구와 같은 다양한 연구가 필요한 실정이다.

This paper presents a fast IA(integer ambiguity) resolution method that determines the IA within short epochs with guaranteed reliability. Based on the fact that the search volume and the cost function are influenced by the selection of primary IAs in the plane intersection method, an IA resolution method is proposed that evaluates IA candidates repeatedly in an epoch with different combinations of primary IAs. In order to guarantee the reliability of the resolved IA with a certain probability, an inequality condition for selecting differencing operator is derived. Experiment results show that the proposed method consistently provides the true IA estimates within short time.

Laboratory scale study for an area of influence and flowing aspect of groundwater saturated zone was conducted for three sediment grains. On the AMG(Average Modal diameter Grains) 0.34, 1.38, 3.89mm diameter samples, the affected area of the aquifer were 15.2, 37.0, 30.0%/m2 each. Air flow for AMG 0.34mm diameter grain size provides indication of pattern of channelized air flow in saturated zone and expansion state in above saturated zone. For AMG of 1.38, 3.89mm diameter grains, air flow are pervasive air flow, forming a symmetrical cone of influence around the injection point. And also AMG 1.38, 3.89mm diameter samples show onset of collapse and approach to steady state in above saturated zone, respectively. In this study, optimal sites for in situ air sparging, may be grain diameters between about AMC 1.5～2.5mm diameter.
