This paper describes efficient flight control algorithms for building a reconfigurable ad-hoc wireless sensor networks between nodes on the ground and airborne nodes mounted on autonomous vehicles to increase the operational range of an aerial robot or the communication connectivity. Two autonomous flight control algorithms based on adaptive gradient climbing approach are developed to steer the aerial vehicles to reach optimal locations for the maximum communication throughputs in the airborne sensor networks. The first autonomous vehicle control algorithm is presented for seeking the source of a scalar signal by directly using the extremum-seeking based forward surge control approach with no position information of the aerial vehicle. The second flight control algorithm is developed with the angular rate command by integrating an adaptive gradient climbing technique which uses an on-line gradient estimator to identify the derivative of a performance cost function. They incorporate the network performance into the feedback path to mitigate interference and noise. A communication propagation model is used to predict the link quality of the communication connectivity between distributed nodes. Simulation study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed reconfigurable airborne wireless networking control algorithms.

A spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the determination of free $CN^-$ in real samples with fluorescent safranine-O. When safranine-O interacts electrostatistically with $CN^-$, the fluorescent intensity of safranine-O is decreased. Several experimental conditions such as pH of the sample solution and the amount of safranine-O were optimized. $Ag^+$ interfered higher than any other ions. Interference of $Ag^+$ could be disregarded because $Ag^+$ was scarcely contained or mostly complexed with $CN^-$ in selected real samples. With this proposed method, the linear range of $CN^-$ was from 5.0 to 110 ng/mL and the detection limit of $CN^-$ was 2.9 ng/mL. For validating this technique, real samples (Cu, Ag, Au electroplating wastewater, and untreated wastewater in university and in sewage treatment plant) were used. Recovery yields of 91.5%~106.0% were obtained. Based on experimental results, it is proposed that this technique can be applied to the practical determination of free $CN^-$.

A spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of EDTA in real samples such as mayonnaise, powder detergent and cleansing cream with tiron (4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid) as a fluorimetric reporter was developed. When tiron is chelated with Cu(II), the fluorescent intensity is decreased by a quenching effect. However, when Cu(II)-tiron chelate reacts with EDTA, fluorescent intensity is increased as tiron is released. Several experimental conditions such as pH of the sample solution, the amount of Cu(II), the amount of tiron, heating temperature and heating time were optimized. Fe(III) interfered more seriously than any other ions, interference of Fe(III) could be disregarded, because Fe(III) was scarcely contained in selected real samples. The linear range of EDTA was from $8.0{\times}106{-8}\;M$ to $2.0{\times}10^{-6}\;M$. With this proposed method, the detection limit of Fe(III) was $5.2{\times}10^{-8}\;M$. Recovery yields of 92.7~99.3% were obtained. Based on experimental results, it is proposed that this technique can be applied to the practical determination of EDTA.

색소(色素)를 흡착(吸着)시킨 여지(濾紙)를 시료(試料)로 간섭(干涉)필터를 통한 자다선(紫多線)을 조사(照射)한 경우에 $45^{\circ}$ 반사각(反射角)에서 발광(發光) 및 소광(消光)의 세기를 측정하여 신속하고 간편하게 색소(色素)를 감별(鑑別)할 수 있는 방법(方法)을 시도(試圖)하였다. 발광(發光) 스펙트럼 보다는 흡수(吸收) 스펙트럼이 보다 특징적인 패턴을 나타냈다. 흡수대(吸收帶)의 파장영역(波長領域), 분포상태(分布狀態) 및 개수(個數)와 소광(消光)정도를 조사하므로써 착색료(着色料) 종류가 용이하게 판별되었다.

In this study, radiation sensor tips are fabricated for remote sensing of X or gamma ray with inorganic scintillators and plastic optical fiber. The visible range of light from the inorganic scintillator that is generated by radiation source is guided by the plastic optical fiber and is measured by optical detector and power-meter. Two kinds of sensor tips are designed and fabricated such as film type and powder type. Many kinds of inorganic scintillators are used to fabricate both sensor tips, and the different wavelength of emitting lights from them are measured to determine the optimal inorganic scintillator which has maximum light output. As a radiation source X-ray generator and Ir-192 are selected to test a performance of sensor tip. It is expected that the fiber-optic radiation sensor is widely used in nuclear industry and medical applications due to its special characteristics such as good flexibility, easy in processing, long lengths and no interference to electro magnetic field.

This paper describes the modeling and autopilot design procedure of a Blended Wing-Body(BWB) UAV. The BWB UAV is a tailless design that integrates the wing and the fuselage. This configuration shows some aerodynamic advantages of lower wetted area to volume ratio and lower interference drag as compared to conventional type UAV. Also, BWB UAV may be increase payload capacity and flight range. However, despite of these benefits, this type of UAV presents several problems related to flying qualities, stability, and control. In this paper, the detailed modeling procedure of BWB UAV and stability analysis results using the linearized model at trim condition are represented. Finally, we designed the autopilot of BWB UAV based on a simple control allocation scheme and evaluated its performance through nonlinear simulation.

본 논문에서는 다중 채널 환경의 무선 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 소모를 최소화하고 데이터 수율(Throughput)을 증대시키기 위한 비동기 방식의 맥 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 맥 프로토콜인 SPMC-MAC(Slim Preamble Multi Channel Media Access Control)은 [6]에서 제안했던 수신 노드가 깨어날 시간 정보의 이점을 이용하여 프리앰블의 길이를 줄이는 매커니즘을 채택한다. 프리앰블은 수신 노드의 ID와 랜덤하게 선택된 채널을 포함하여 전용의 기본 채널을 통해서 전송된다. 전송 세기 제어는 통신 가능 범위 내에서 적정 노드 수를 유지함으로써 데이터 전송 시 충돌과 간섭을 줄일 수 있다. 수학적 분석과 모의실험을 통해 에너지 소모와 수율에 대해 제안하는 SPMC-MAC과 X-MAC을 비교한다.

The electrochemical detection of As(III) was investigated on a platinum-iron(III) nanoparticles modified multiwalled carbon nanotube on glassy carbon electrode(nanoPt-Fe(III)/MWCNT/GCE) in 0.1 M $H_2SO_4$. The nanoPt-Fe(III)/MWCNT/GCE was prepared via continuous potential cycling in the range from -0.8 to 0.7 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), in 0.1 M KCl solution containing 0.9 mM $K_2PtCl_6$ and 0.6 mM $FeCl_3$. The Pt nanoparticles and iron oxide were co-electrodeposited into the MWCNT-Nafion composite film on GCE. The resulting electrode was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). For the detection of As(III), the nanoPt-Fe(III)/MWCNT/GCE showed low detection limit of 10 nM (0.75 ppb) and high sensitivity of $4.76\;{\mu}A{\mu}M^{-1}$, while the World Health Organization's guideline value of arsenic for drinking water is 10 ppb. It is worth to note that the electrode presents no interference from copper ion, which is the most serious interfering species in arsenic detection.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of DA-6034 in biological fluids using internal standard. Plasma containing DA-6034 and inter nal standard was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction at an acidic pH. After evaporation of the organic layer, the drug and internal standard were reconstituted with mobile phase and injected into the column. They were separated by high performance liquid chromatography on inertsil ODS II column at 334 nm. The detection limit of DA-6034 in plasma was 0.02 ${\mu}$g/ml. In this method, the range of recovery and coefficients of variation were 96-110% and 0.40-3.78%, respectively. There was no interference from endogenous substances. Urine and bile were analysed using the deproteinization method and the detection limit of DA-6034 was 1${\mu}$g/l.

This paper presents a transceiver module for human body communications whereby a spread signal with a group of 64 Walsh codes is directly transferred through a human body at a chip rate of 32 Mcps. Frequency selective digital transmission moves the signal spectrum over 5 MHz without continuous frequency modulation and increases the immunity to induced interference by the processing gain. A simple receiver structure with no additional analog circuitry for the transmitter has been developed and has a sensitivity of 250 ${\mu}V_{pp}$. The high sensitivity of the receiver makes it possible to communicate between mobile devices using a human body as the transmission medium. It enables half-duplex communication of 2 Mbps within an operating range of up to 170 cm between the ultra-mobile PCs held between fingertips of each hand with a packet error rate of lower than $10^{-6}$. The transceiver module consumes 59 mA with a 3.3 V power supply.
