The objective of this study is to provide faster mobile web service by improving performance of Contents Cache used for mobile web service in the existing Mobile Gate System. It was found that two elements existed in Mark-Up page transcoded by Contents Generator. One of the elements was dependent only on the requested DIDL page and Mark-Up type. The other was dependent on each of the requested DIDL page, Mark-Up type, size of mobile display 모바일 장치 to request service, type of images available and color depth count of the images available. The conventional Contents Cache saved the entire Mark-Up page to hold both of the two elements. This caused the problem where storage space was not effectively used because reusable elements were repetitively saved in cache memory domain due to change in one of the elements even though all the other elements were the same. As a result, a larger number of transcoded Mark-Up pages could not be saved in the same cache memory size. Therefore, in this study, Mark-Up pages transcoded by Contents Generator were divided into two elements and were separately saved. Also, in order to respond to the demand for replacing data in cache with new data, this study applied two algorithms of LFU and LRU. This study proposed the method to implement cache performance of faster speed by enabling to save more number of the transcoded Mark-Up pages in the same cache storage space.

Mobile ad hoc network은 관리나 표준화된 지원 서비스 없이 무선 이동 노드들만으로 구성되는 임시적인 망이다. Mobile ad hoc network에서는 노드들의 이동성으로 인해 각각의 노드들이 경로를 결정하고, 경로가 무효화되었을 때 빠르고 효과적으로 복구하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 On-Demand 방식의 대표적인 프로토콜인 AODV에서 경로 설정 과정과 경로 파손이 발생했을 때 경로 재설정 과정을 알아보고, 액티브 경로의 길이가 망의 직경에 가깝게 확장되어 졌을 경우에 경로 설정 과정에서 흡수를 이용해 mark-up 한 노드들과 RREP 전송과정에서 mark-up한 노드에 의한 부분적인 다중 경로를 설정함으로서 보다 효과적이긴 신뢰성 있는 새로운 경로 재설정 기법을 제안한다.

KVN(Korean VLBI Network) introduced the Mark6 system of the MIT haystack observatory as a recorder for data recording up to 32 Gbps for VLBI(Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observation. The Mark6 recorder can record data at up to 32Gbps when two systems and 64 HDDs are installed. However, because of the unique recording method that is characteristic of Mark6, we are introducing a large amount of data into a virtual file system, or using a general RAID method, which causes data loss when reading and transferring files at the highest recording speed or file system have. The Flexbuff system, a software recorder developed by JIVE(Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC), can be configured to operate as a data recorder through RAID configuration and network upgrades. In particular, when installed in the Mark6 system, it can record VLBI data at a maximum speed of 32 Gbps with less loss of data compared to the existing Mark6 by utilizing Mark6 resources well. In this paper, we propose that the existing Mark6 system can be operated as Mark6-Flexbuff by installing jive5ab software, and it is verified through experiment that it can be effectively used for VLBI observation operation through data recording test.

This paper proposes an approach of automatically calculating the center location of fiducial marks up to sub-pixel accuracy with model-free condition. The conceptual model, composed of two assumptions, about general geometric property of fiducial area and fiducial mark is established. The proposed approach is primarily based on the strategy of calculating the center of symmetry and is composed of three steps of processing: (a) determining horizontal center of fiducial area, (b) locating center of a fiducial mark, and, (c) finally calculating the exact center up to sub-pixel accuracy. Evaluation with respect to RMK style marks and RC style ones shows that the proposed approach can be evaluated as robust one. However there are several images which can't be analyzed by the proposed approach.

This paper proposes an autonomous approach to localize the center of fiducial marks included in aerial photographs without precise geometric information and human interactions. For this localization, we present a conceptual model based on two assumptions representing symmetric characteristics of fiducial area and fiducial mark. The model makes it possible to locate exact center of a fiducial mark by checking the symmetric characteristics of pixel value distribution around the mark. The proposed approach is composed of three steps: (a) determining the symmetric center of fiducial area, (b) finding the center of a fiducial mark with unit pixel accuracy, and finally (c) localizing the exact center up to sub-pixel accuracy. The symmetric center of the mark is calculated tv successively applying three geometric filters: simplified ${\nabla}^2$G (Laplacian of Gaussian) filter, symmetry enhancement filter, and high pass filter. By introducing a self-diagnosis function based on the self-similarity measurement, a way of rejecting unreliable cases of center calculation is proposed, as well. The experiments were done with respect to 284 samples of fiducial marks composed of RMK- and RC-style ones extracted from 51 scanned aerial photographs. It was evaluated in the visual inspection that the proposed approach had resulted the erroneous identification with respect to only one mark. Although the proposed approach is based on weak constraints, being free from the exact geometric model of the fiducial marks, experimental results showed that the proposed approach is sufficiently robust and reliable.

Generally, ships have marks of various shapes on outside of the hull. Among them, so called "Draft Mark" indicates the distance from the bottom of the keel to the waterline. Draft marks are used to determine the displacement and other properties of the ship for stability and control purposes. These marks are made up of welding bead or sticking the steel plate on outside of the hull. To improve the confidence level of the ship owner, quality and accuracy of the draft mark is very important. So the automatic mark welding robot is used to enable a high quality and accurate manufacturing line. To improve the system portability, the system is divided into two distinct parts, namely mechanical part and control part. Mechanical part is robust, a lightweight, and easy to dismantle. The control part consists of an in-house developed controller, which is based on embedded Linux. Also, the control part consists of power line communication module to ensure the applicability of the controller in manufacturing line. In this paper, the methodologies of control and configuration of the robot are discussed.

Digital image watermarking is a technology used in copyrighting of digital images by embedding unremovable informations. In this paper, a pixel-domain look-up-table-based watermarking algorithm is presented. With this methodology, the watermark was embedded in the host image, but we did not observe any distortion at certain specific region of interest. This means the proposed method is preferred in case of satellite images. Then, the image manipulation tool which is called 'StirMark' will be used to perform many kinds of attacks such as rotation, scaling, filtering and compression on the watermarked image. Finally, the effectiveness of a watermarking technique in terms of 'robustness' and 'data integrity' criteria will be measured by calculating PSNR of watermark and watermarked image.

By the significant structural change in 1999, a partial privatization has occurred in Korean fossil-fuel power generation sector. Under the current price scheme wholesale electricity price is dependent on output size, and hence, may not satisfy the assumption of price-taking producers. The purpose of our study is constructing the productivity change measurements of Korean power generation sector taking into account possibly imperfect competition and variable returns to scale. Our approach based on Harrison (1994) and Levinsohn (1993) derives the plant-level productivity measurements of the period between 2001 and 2007, as well as the measurements of mark-ups and returns to scale. It is shown that the mark-up size is dependent on the plants' fuel type and is decreasing over time. Allowing for imperfect competition and variable returns to scale adjusts the productivity measurements substantially.

Background: The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) is increasing recently, but medical management for GERD has many limitations. Therefore, variable surgical treatments have been introduced. Material and Method: A retrospective study was done in 10 patients who underwent the Belsey Mark IV operation at Korea university Guro hospital between 1996 and 2001. Preoperative diagnoses were hiatal hernia with gasroesophageal reflux in 8 patients and achalasia in 2 patients. Result: Mean age of the patients was 54.3$\pm$19.0 years. Belsey Mark IV operation was performed on patients where preoperative medical failed and mean hospital days were 13.1$\pm$2.6 days. We routinely practiced follow-up endoscopy on postoperative 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th months. After remission for reflux and esophagitis, they were transferred to internal medicine department. Six patients of hiatal hernia with reflux (one patient who lost follow-up and the other patient who didn't practice the follow-up endoscopy due to short postoperative follow-up period were excluded) had lowered endoscopic gradings and two patients of achalasia did not complained of reflux symptoms, postoperatively. We experienced 10% operation failure rate. Conclusion: We experienced satisfactory operation results with Belsey Mark IV in hiatal hernia with GERD and achalasia patients.
