This paper reviews some methods on evaluating the impacts of low input farming on profitability, environments and human health. Measuring diverse effects of low input farming on the environmental economic aspects of agriculture poses a challenge because of difficulty in placing the objective value judgement on those impacts. This Study attempts to identify the individual attributes of low input agriculture and to examine the method of consturcting a simple index after assessing its marketed or non-marketed values in numerical terms. Validity of integrating socio-economic value of low input agriculture, which might be measured by multiple criteria approach, into a single index can be criticized. However, it might be meaningful in that this study suggest the guidance for how to assess the environmental and economic value of low input agriculture by single criteria and the possibility of overcoming the controversial subjectivity in weighing the different impact criteria.

This study is aimed to provide data of low-input rice cultivation for agricultural policy, to reveal the problems of low-input cultivation through comparing the economic result of low-input cultivation with the common one, to search for solution or mitigation of the problems of low-input cultivation, and to forecast the future prospect of low-input rice cultivation. The following were the results obtained from the survey and analysis. The working hours per 10a inputted 45.4 hours which is 32% more than 34.5 hours of common cultivation. Yield per 10a was 355kg which was 101kg less than 456kg of common cultivation. But the farm received price per kg was 1,984.9 won which was 547.9 won more than 1,436.5 won of common cultivation. Gross receipts per 10a was 704,438 won which was higher than 655,044 won of common cultivation, and management cost was 230,820 won which slightly higher than 188,157 won of common cultivation. Consequently, the income of low-input rice cultivation was 473,617 won which somewhat exceed to 466,887 won of common cultivation.

In this study, questionnaire were made to environment-friendly producers of apples regarding farm management methods in low-input production method. utilizing organic materials, production and marketing of apples with lower agricultural chemical residues. Besides, five apples farms were visited to find out their management situation by employing the low-input production method in order to protect the environment as well as consumer's health. Those five low-input apple farms were scattered in Kyungbuk, Chungnam, and Chonnam Provinces, There were not many low-input apple farms across the nation from the beginning and, as a result, increasing the sample size was basically very difficult. Most of these farms were using 140hrs of labor per 10a, of which 30hrs in pre-season management, 25hrs in plowing and weed control, 15hrs in disease and pest control, 20hrs in harvest and marketing and 50hrs in miscellaneous activities. Relatively, pest control takes much time in that they would spray pesticides 7-10 times a season to control the apple disease, 9 times on the average. The average gross revenue of low-input apple farms was about \2,000,000/10a, and their average yield was 2,000kg/10a, which are 25% and 13% lower, respectively, than the ordinary apple production case. This means the low-input farmers are inefficient in marketing their products. On the other hand, their production costs were 20.4% higher than the ordinary apple farms on the average. Since the imported foreign fruits including apples must use various agricultural chemicals on their way to the export markets, the domestic low-input apples have competitive edge over them in therms of food safety. In order to improve the low-input apple industry, active cooperation is needed among the producers, government and researchers more than ever. Among other things, production cost reduction and quality improvement with lower chemical residues are part of the urgent matters to be done.

A novel AC to DC PWM converters with unity input power factor are proposed to overcome the above shortcoming. The main function of these converters is to shape the input line current to force it exactly in phase with the input AC voltage. Therefore, the input power factor can be improved to near unity and the input current harmonics can be eliminated. In this paper, half-bridge converter with two active switches and two diodes are utilized for low-cost type UPS configuration. By having only two semiconductors in the current path at any time, losses can be reduced over the conventional boost topology. Also, this converter provides controllable dc-link voltage, high power factor, and low cost type converter by simple power circuits. Simulation results show that the proposed half-bridge converter/inverter control technique can be applied to single-phase low-cost type UPS systems successfully.

본 논문에서는 SR(Super Resolution) 복원 과정에 있어 사용되는 입력 후보 영상 중 적합한 입력 영상을 자동 선택하는 알고리즘을 제안함으로써 복원된 고해상도 영상의 질을 개선하고자 한다. SR 복원과정에서 이상적인 결과 영상을 얻기 위해서는 입력되는 모든 영상이 유기적으로 잘 정합 되어야 하지만, 실제로는 그렇지 못하다. 이런 이유로 입력 후보군 영상의 정합 적합성이 얼마나 높은가가 단순히 많은 입력 영상의 수보다 고품질의 고해상도 결과 영상을 얻는데 더욱 결정적이라 할 수 있다. 입력 영상의 적합성은 통계 특성 및 정합 특성을 이용하여 평가 가능하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 SR 복원과정에 정합 적합성을 자동으로 평가하여 이에 따라 입력 영상을 결정하는 전처리 과정을 제안하고 구조화하였다. 또한 비디오 시퀀스의 모든 입력 영상은 SR 복원과정의 기준 영상이나 저해상도 입력 영상과 같이 사용될 수 있으므로 본 논문에서는 연속적인 비디오 시퀀스를 위한 SR 복원알고리즘을 제안한다. 적합성의 유무는 임계값(Threshold Value)에 의해 결정되며, 이 임계값은 기준 영상과의 움직임 추정에서 그 보상 값의 오류 값 중 최대치(MMCE, Maximum Motion Compensation Error)로 결정된다. 만약 저해상도 입력 영상의 보상 오류 값의 범위가 0과 MMCE사이(0 < MCE < MMCE )값이라면 그 범위 안의 입력 후보 영상은 SR 복원과정에 사용되며 범위 밖의 후보영상은 제외된다. 최적의 저해상도 기준(ORLR, Optimal Reference Low Resolution)영상은 선택된 저해상도 입력(SLRI, Selected LR Input)영상들과 각각의 저해상도 기준 입력(RLRI, Reference Low Resolution Input)영상들의 비교를 통해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 과정에 의해 결정된 저해상도의 최적 기준영상과 선택영상을 'Hardie' 보간법을 사용하여 고해상도 영상을 만들어 내는 것으로 사용자의 조정이 없이도 SR 복원영상의 질적 향상을 가져올 것이라 기대된다.

Input filter is an essential component in a practical matrix converter (MC) system to generate the sinusoidal input currents. However, the input filter causes a displacement angle between the input current of MC and the source current. In this paper, we investigate the input filter design for MCs by considering the displacement angles of the input current and the input voltage to guarantee high input power factor (IPF) operation as well as low input current harmonic contents. Simulation results are provided to validate the input filter design with near unity input power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current.

Distributed resources such as renewable energy sources and ESS are connected to the low voltage direct current(LVDC) distribution network through the power conversion system(PCS). Control power is required for the operation of the PCS. In general, controller power is supplied from AC power or DC power through switch mode power supply(SMPS). However, the conventional SMPS has a low input voltage, so development and research on high input voltage self-power suitable for LVDC is insufficient. In this paper, to develop Self-Power that can be used for LVDC, the characteristics of the conventional topology are analyzed, and a series-input single-output flyback converter using a flux-sharing transformer for high voltage is designed. The high input voltage Self-Power was designed in the DCM(discontinuous current mode) to reduce the switching loss and solve the problem of current dissipation. In addition, since it operates even at low input voltage, it can be applied to many applications as well as LVDC. The validity of the proposed high input voltage self-power is verified through experiments.

이 논문은 저해상도 동영상에서 자동화된 방식으로 한 장의 좋은 화질의 고해상도 영상을 얻는 방안을 제시한다. 여러 장의 저해상도 영상을 이용하여 고해상도 영상을 얻는 방법이 한 장의 저해상도 영상만을 이용하는 전통적인 보간 방법에 비해 좋은 결과를 보이기 위해서는 입력 영상들이 공통된 고해상도 격자에 잘 정합되어야 하므로, 정합오차를 충분히 고려하여 입력영상들을 주의 깊게 선택한다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 보상된 저해상도 영상들로부터 얻어진 통계적 특성을 활용하여 입력 영상 후보들의 입력 영상으로서의 적합성을 평가한다. 고해상도 영상획득모델로부터 움직임 보상오차의 최대값을 추정한다. 입력 영상 후보의 움직임 보상오차가 추정된 움직임 보상오차의 최대값보다 크면 입력 영상후보는 선정에서 제외된다. 선정된 적절한 유효 입력 영상 후보의 수와 움직임 보상오차의 통계치를 고려하여 최종 입력 영상들을 선별한다. 입력 영상 선별부에서 최종적으로 선별된 입력 영상들은 뒤따르는 고해상도 영상복원부로 입력된다. 제안된 방식은 사용자의 간섭없이 저해상도 동영상에서 효과적으로 입력 영상들을 선별하여 좋은 화질의 고해상도 영상을 얻는 응용에 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

A conventional active-clamp forward (ACF) converter is a favorable candidate in low-to-medium power applications. However, the switches suffer from high voltage stress, i.e., sum of the input voltage and the reset capacitor voltage. Therefore, it is not suitable for high input voltage applications such as a front-end converter of which the input voltage is about 400-$V_{dc}$. To solve this problem, three-switch ACF (TS-ACF) converter, which employs two main switches and one auxiliary switch with low voltage stress, is proposed. Utilizing low-voltage rated switches, the proposed converter is promising for high input voltage applications with high efficiency and low cost.
