Background: Relationships among portable scanning mobility particle sizer (P-SMPS), condensation particle counter (CPC), and surface area monitor (SAM), which are different metric measurement devices, were investigated, and two widely used research grade (RG)-SMPSs were compared to harmonize the measurement protocols. Methods: Pearson correlation analysis was performed to compare the relation between P-SMPS, CPC, and SAM and two common RG-SMPS. Results: For laboratory and engineered nanoparticle (ENP) workplaces, correlation among devices showed good relationships. Correlation among devices was fair in unintended nanoparticle (UNP)-emitting workplaces. This is partly explained by the fact that shape of particles was not spherical, although calibration of sampling instruments was performed using spherical particles and the concentration was very high at the UNP workplaces to allow them to aggregate more easily. Chain-like particles were found by scanning electron microscope in UNP workplaces. The CPC or SAM could be used as an alternative instrument instead of SMPS at the ENP-handling workplaces. At the UNP workplaces, where concentration is high, real-time instruments should be used with caution. There are significant differences between the two SMPSs tested. TSI SMPS showed about 20% higher concentration than the Grimm SMPS in all workplaces. Conclusions: For nanoparticle measurement, CPC and SAM might be useful to find source of emission at laboratory and ENP workplaces instead of P-SMPS in the first stage. An SMPS is required to measure with high accuracy. Caution is necessary when comparing data from different nanoparticle measurement devices and RG-SMPSs.

네트워크나 네트워크를 구성하는 시스템에서 프로토콜을 처리하는 성능은 중요한 목표가 되며, 이를 측정하는 과정은 네트워크 구성이나 시스템 개발에 있어서 필수적인 요소이다. 프로젝션(Projection)은 주어진 벡터(Vector)를 각 좌표 평면에서 대응되는 점으로 변환시키는 것으로, 프로젝션 기법은 또한 벡터수학을 응용하여 공학에서 많이 사용되는 방법으로서 여러 성분들로 구성된 것에서 측정목표에 관련된 원하는 특정 성분들만을 고려하는 방법론이다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 네트워크에서 인터넷 텔레포니를 위한 대표적인 표준 호 처리프로토콜인 SIP의 성능 측정방법으로, 불필요한 경로들과 그에 해당하는 처리루틴들을 제거한 프로젝션된 프로토콜만으로 성능을 측정함으로써 성능 측정 시 구현 및 자원의 사용면에서 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 또한 제안된 방법을 이용하여 SIP 프록시 서버의 성능을 측정하는 과정을 제시한다.

Developers of network games have used several prediction techniques for hiding transmission delay to support the real­time requirement of network games. Nowadays many researches that are related with network game are in progress to solve delay problems more radically, such as to propose new routers architecture and transport protocols suitable to characteristics of network game traffic. So for these advanced researches the tasks to grasp the traffic characteristics of a network game are needed. In this paper we aimed to capture the traffic of MMORPG and present the statistical analysis of measured data. The measurement and the analysis were accomplished with the server of 'Lineage' that regarded as the most successful MMORPG. Next, we have implemented a traffic generator that reflects the characteristics of MMORPG and shown that the trace generated by MMORPG traffic generator had identical characteristics with actual traffic using statistical testing method. We expect that this traffic generator can be used in many researches related with a network game.

Establishing a fixed path for the message delivery through a wireless network is impossible due to the mobility. Among the number of routing protocols that have been proposed for wireless ad-hoc networks, the AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) algorithm is suitable in the case of highly dynamic topology changes, along with ZigBee Routing(ZBR), with the exception of route maintenance. Accordingly, this paper introduces a routing scheme focusing on the energy efficiency and route discovery time for wireless alarm systems using IEEE 802.15.4-based ZigBee. Essentially, the proposed routing algorithm utilizes a cluster structure and applies ZBR within a cluster and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) between clusters. The proposed algorithm does not require a routing table for the cluster heads, as the inter-cluster routing is performed using DSR. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared with ZBR using an NS2 simulator. The results confirm that the proposed Cluster-based AODV (CAODV) algorithm is more efficient than ZBR in terms of the route discovery time and energy consumption.

Among the hazardous air pollutions(HAPs), characteristics of secondary organic aerosols are not well understood. In this study, the current state for the measurement and analysis of representative secondary PAHs such as oxy-PAHs and nitro-PAHs are presented with the discussion of their toxicity. Also, further research directions for the secondary PAHs are suggested. It was found that the chemical reaction mechanisms and products of PAHs in the air are poorly identified and their toxicities are not well studied. Moreover ambient concentrations of those secondary PAHs are not well documented. Sampling methodologies of those secondary PAHs are similar with PAHs but the analytical protocols for those secondary PAHs are more complicated than PAHs. Future management directions are suggested along with future research directions.

Testing was conducted to determine the performance of a residential fuel cell system when subjected to DSS and WSS operation, especially for start-up and shut-down characteristics. In terms of start-up time, it took about 70min to start output power generation and stably to reach 1kW at cold start. Measurement of the characteristics of heat and power generation were carried out at start-up and shut-down time. Fuel gas is used for heating both reformer and stack from start-up to the beginning of power generation. In terms of start-up and shut-down characteristics, it was important to control the reformer temperature precisely. The average output water temperature during the rated output operation(960W) was $63.2^{\circ}C$ constantly. The results of the investigation are being used to develop a new test protocols for residential fuel cell system.

This paper addresses a simulation for the Ethernet based data transmission between the CIC(Centralized Traffic Control System) and the SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. Fame error rate and throughput are calculated and compared for the two cases that the CTC/SCADA has an extra error control scheme besides the internal CRC32 of the Ethernet and that no extra error control has been done. Simulation program is constructed with the Matlab and the Matlab GUI and then converted into a stand-alone $c^{++}$ program to be used on any non-Matlab environments.

Halitosis is defined as a nasty odor emanating through the mouth and is primarily related to the enhanced concentration of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). VSC measurements have been commonly used for experimental comparison and clinical diagnosis. As quantitative methods for comparative analyses of oral malodor, gas chromatography devices have been most commonly used to quickly and easily determine the concentration of several gas components of VSCs, which are agents primarily responsible for halitosis. The concentrations of VSCs fluctuate dynamically depending on contributing factors, including various oral/systemic conditions, intake of medicine and food/drink, oral hygiene, and even routine daily activities. Therefore, the exact analysis of VSCs requires the appropriate standardization of not only exact measurement techniques but also participant conditioning with scientific considerations. Thus, this paper describes the experimental standardizations commonly recommended in previous literature and their scientific background.

무선 메쉬 네트워크 (WMN: Wireless Mesh Networks)는 망을 저려한 비용으로 빠르게 구축할 수 있는 장점때문에 새롭게 부각되고 있는 차세대 네트워킹 기술이다. WMN은 애드 혹 네트워크와 유사한 특성 때문에 애드혹 라우팅 프로토콜을 주로 사용하고 있다. 현재 몇몇의 WMN 연구에서 Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector(AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)과 같은 on-demand 방식의 라우팅 프로토콜이 사용되었다. AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 route request (RREQ) 패킷을 망 전체로 플러딩하여 경로 설정을 한다. 하지만 이와 같은 플러딩 기반의 경로 설정 방식은 대부분의 트래픽이 게이트웨이를 목적지로 갖는 WMN에는 불필요한 라우팅 오버헤드를 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 라우팅 오버헤드를 감소시키기 위해 기존의 AODV를 개선한 방향성 AODV (D-AODV: Directional AODV) 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고 테스트베드를 통해 동작 검증 및 성능 측정을 하였다. 측정된 결과를 통해서 D-AODV가 AODV에 비해 라우팅 오버헤드가 감소하며 이를 통해 망 전체의 처리율 또한 향상함을 확인할 수 있다.
