The domestic liquefied natural gas project has been carried out as a national energy scheme since the late 1980's in Korea. The natural-gas supply for civilian demand is limited to the Kyung-In area. In addition, seven major city gas corporations which now participate in the project occupy the monopolistic service area. In this study, objective cost evaluation criteria for gas distribution and an improved proposal in the evaluation method are suggested. They will go forward in solving the problems to promote demand and prevent excess profit or deficit according to the physical characteristics of the monopolistic service area.

The importance of XML data and their database supports in a mobile terminal system is on the increase. It leads to active research for embedded XML database systems. In order to handle in documents, DOM API should be supported. The existing DOM API is not suitable for the embedded system with limited resource because the DOM tree requires a large space on main memory. Considering poor resource of embedded systems, we present persistent DOM which is implemented on Berkeley DB and DOMdbm which manages it.

Edge Computing enables image-based inference in close proximity to end users and real-world objects. However, since edge servers have limited computational and accelerator resources, efficient resource management is essential. In this paper, we present HeteroAccel system that performs optimal scheduling in Kubernetes platform based on available node and accelerator information for various inference requests. Our experiments showed 25.3% improvement in overall inference performance over the default scheduling scheme in edge computing environment in which four types of inference services are requested.

The radio resources available in a wireless network system are limited. Therefor, job of managing resources is not easy task. Because the resources are shared among the UEs that are connected, the process of assigning resources must be carefully controlled. The packet scheduler in an LTE network is in charge of allocating resources to the user equipment (UE). Femtocells networks are being considered as a promising solution for poor channel performance for mulitple environments. The implementation of femtocells into a macrocell (traditional base station) would boost the capacities of the cellular network. To increase femtocells network capacity, a reliable Packet Scheduler mechanism should be implemented. The Packet Scheduler technique is introduced in this paper to maximize capacity of the network while maintaining fairness among UEs. The proposed solution operates in a manner consistent with this principle. An analysis of the proposed scheme's performance is conducted using a computer simulation. The results reveal that it outperforms the well-known PF scheduler in terms of cell throughput and average throughput of UEs.

This paper presents derivation of stage-discharge curve for Yangsan river. To derivate of stage-discharge lationship is one of the essential research areas in the water resource field. It provides reliable data a long term planning and hydrologic quantity on water resource development by quantitative analysis. The rating curve derivated through 15 discharge-observation on Yangsan river basin in 1997 has been estimated Q=1283.0262-1553.3158H+477.2702H2. According to the rating curve, the highest water level 2.6m, the limited water-level should be bound to the maximum of 2.6m. Before this research, stage-discharge curve of Yangsan river has not been developed, and only 15 discharge observation(hydrometry) has been carried out though this research. Therefore it seems necessary to collect observation data through a long term process to obtain a reliable rating curve equation.

The present study examined the effect of two variables of task complexity, reasoning demand and time pressure, each from the resourcedirecting and resource-dispersing dimension in Robinson's (2001) framework of task classification. Reasoning demand was operationalized as the two types of texts to read and summarize, expository and argumentative. Time pressure was operationalized as the two modes of performance, oral and written. Six university students summarized the two types of text orally and twenty four students from the same school summarized them in the written form. Results from t test and ANCOVA showed that in the oral mode, reasoning demand tends to heighten the complexity of the language used in the summary in competition with accuracy but such an effect disappeared in the written mode. It was interpreted that the degree of time pressure is not the only difference between the oral and written modes but that the two modes may be fundamentally different cognitive tasks, and that Robinson's (2001) and Skehan's (1998) models were differentially supported by the oral mode of tasks but not by the written mode of the tasks.

Interference mitigation is a significant issue in the cognitive heterogeneous networks, this paper studied how to reduce the interference to macrocell users (MU) and improve system throughput. Establish the interference model with imperfect spectrum sensing by analyzing the source of interference complexity. Based on the user topology, the optimize problem was built to maximize the downlink throughput under given interference constraint and the total power constraint. We decompose the resource allocation problem into subcarrier allocation and power allocation. In the subcarrier assignment step, the allocated number of subcarriers satisfies the requirement of the femtocell users (FU).Then, we designed the power allocation algorithm based on the Lagrange multiplier method and the improved water filling method. Simulation results and performance analyses show that the proposed algorithm causes less interference to MU than the algorithm without considering imperfect spectrum sensing, and the system achieves better throughput performance.

This Paper Presents a non-blocking deadlock detection scheme with immediate cycle detection in multiprocessing systems. We assume an expedient state and a special case where each type of resource has one unit and each request is limited to one resource unit at a time. Unlike the previous deadlock detection schemes, this new method takes O(1) time for detecting a cycle and O(n+m) time for blocking or handling resource release where n and m are the number of processes and that of resources in the system. The deadlock detection latency is thus minimized and is constant regardless of n and m. However, in a multiprocessing system, the operating system can handle the blocking or release on-the-fly running on a separate processor, thus not interfering with user process execution. To some applications where deadlock is concerned, a predictable and zero-latency deadlock detection scheme could be very useful.

This paper attempts to evaluate an environmental regulation program which enforces installation of filtering equipment to reduce major air pollutants from used diesel vehicles. A real option model is presented to incorporate fuel cost uncertainty and irreversibility of emission-reducing investment. A finite-life option based on finite difference method is developed to consider the limited life expectancy of used vehicles. After taking into account social benefits from emission reduction and costs from decreasing fuel efficiency after the adoption of filtering technology, the result finds overall positive performance of the Pollution Reduction Program. However, the result suggests that the Program be designed to be more specific to vehicle types to improve program performance.

Allocation and management of the resource is very important in wireless networks because the wireless resource is limited. Therefore, the importance of designing cross layer, which adapt between different layers, is on the rise. In this paper, we investigate the scheduling techniques of the cross layer. This paper researches conventional scheduling methods and proposes the complementary scheduling method. On multimedia environment, the scheduling method must be applied variably because of offering variable services. Therefore, this paper proposes the new scheduling method according to the variable services. The proposed method shows that utility efficiency of the wireless resource more excellent than the conventional method through the simulations.
