The awareness of boundaries in wireless sensor networks has many benefits. The identification of boundaries is especially challenging since typical wireless sensor networks consist of low-capability nodes that are unaware of their geographic location. In this paper, we propose a simple, efficient algorithm to detect nodes that are near the boundary of the sensor field as well as near the boundaries of holes. Our algorithm relies purely on the connectivity information of the underlying communication graph and does not require any information on the location of nodes. We introduce the 2-neighbor graph concept, and then make use of it to identify nodes near boundaries. The results of our experiment show that our algorithm carries out the task of topological boundary detection correctly and efficiently.

이동객체는 시간에 따라 공간 객체의 위치 및 영역이 연속적으로 변경되는 시공간 데이터이다. 기존의 데이터베이스 시스템을 이용하여 시공간 이동 객체를 관리할 경우 다음의 두 가지 문제점을 가진다. 첫째, 시간에 따라 변화되는 위치 정보에 대한 빈번한 갱신이 발생된다. 둘째, 항상 객체의 현재 상태만이 저장되므로 시공간 이동 객체의 과거와 미래에 관한 정보를 제공하지 못한다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 빈번한 갱신없이 이동 객체의 이력 정보를 관리할 뿐만 아니라 과거, 현재 그리고 가까운 미래에 관한 모든 위치 정보를 제공할 수 있는 시공간 이동 객체 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템에서 이동 객체 정보는 위치를 나타내는 위치정보와 이동 습성을 나타내는 행위 정보로 구분된다. 특히, 행위정보 변경 처리 알고리즘을 사용하여 최소한의 이력 정보만으로도 모든 객체의 위치 정보를 검색할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고, 제안한 방법을 전장 분석 시스템에 적용하여 구현하였으며, 이를 통해 관계형 데이터베이스와 GIS 시스템을 이용하여 실세계의 시공간 이동 객체의 과거 , 현재 및 가까운 미래의 위치 정보를 관리할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to assess individual decisive factors for distribution of medical specialists in Korea. A data set was constructed using several published data sources. including the Korean Medical Association's physician master file as a principal source for physician information. Linear logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between the location of private specialist clinic for practice with six variables related with individual characteristics: age. sex. location of postgraduate training hospital. location of medical school graduated, size of hospital for training, and specialty. Analysis showed that location of practice. classified into urban and rural areas, was significantly associated with the variables of sex. location of postgraduate training hospital. location of medical school. In addition, significant association was found between the location of practice which was categorized into "near-Seoul area" and others, and sex, location of postgraduate training hospital. and location of medical school. We could conclude that to improve area maldistribution of physicians locations of hospitals for training and medical schools have to have the highest priority in the policymaking.icymaking.

The facility location problem of this paper is distinguished from the maximal covering location problem and the flxed-charge facility location problem. We propose the maximal profiting location problem (MPLP) that is the facility location problem maximizing profit with multi-product. We apply to the simulated annealing algorithm, the stochastic evolution algorithm and the accelerated simulated annealing algorithm to solve this problem. Through a scale-down and extension experiment, the MPLP was validated and all the three algorithm enable the near optimal solution to produce. As the computational complexity is increased, it is shown that the simulated annealing algorithm' is able to find the best solution than the other two algorithms in a relatively short computational time.

In mobile wireless network efficient location management for tracking and finding mobile users is a critical issue. The traffic for location update can be excessive, especially at the base stations that are near to the location area (LA) boundaries. In this paper we propose a new location update scheme which can significantly reduce the signaling traffic for location update. It is based on the virtual layer approach employing SubMSCs. The virtual layer is laid upon the original layer of LAs such that the mobile terminals moving around the boundary cells of adjacent LAs become to move within a virtual LA. As a result, the location update traffic is substantially reduced compared to overlapping scheme which is the most recent and efficient location update scheme.

This study is concerned with the accuracy, of error with which subjects can interpolate the location of a target between two graduation markers with 4 orientations and 6 sizes CRT display. Stimuli were graphic images on CRT with a linear, end-markec, ungraduated scales having a target. The location of a target is estimated in units over te range 1-99. Smallest error of estimates was at the near ends and middle of the base-line. The median error was less than 2 units, modal error was 1, and the most error (; 99.7%) was within 10. A proper size to make an minimum error in interpolation exists such that size 400 pixels. Interpolation estimation is shown to be affected by the size, location and interaction (orientation x location, size x location). The accuracy, interpolation performance are discussed in relation to absolute error associated with visual performance.

This paper discusses the near field characteristics of a dipole source located near conducting metallic walls from an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) point of view. An integral equation for a dipole source near a metallic wall is derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments (MoM). The results show that in the regions outside the dipole source, total electric near fields decrease gradually in magnitude with an increasing field point from the dipole source. But in the regions inside the dipole source, total electric near fields decrease rapidly with a dipole position of $h{\leq}0.3{\lambda}$. For a dipole position of $h{\geq}0.7{\lambda}$, the peaks and nulls of the total near electric field occur periodically in the regions inside the dipole source, and the fluctuation period is almost $0.5{\lambda}$. The worst position for a receptor location is along the z-axis, and a range of a half-magnitude of the maximum near electric field in the principal H-plane is about two times broader than that of the principal E-plane. Experimental measurements are also presented to validate the theory.

The pseudolites are ground-based transmitters that can be configured to emit GPS-like signals with the purpose of enhancing the GPS by providing increased accuracy, integrity, and availability. Although the use of the pseudolites offers many potentially significant benefits, a number of technical issues must also be addressed. One is the pseudolite signal power level which is related with near-far problem, and other issues include deployment requirements, signal data rate, signal integrity monitoring, and user antenna location and sensitivity. In order to solve the near-far problem, the frequency offset or the pulsing schemes is implemented in most the pseudolites. However, in the case of the previous pulsing scheme with the fixed code pattern, the near-far problem still remains. This paper aims to design a sequential pulsing scheme to avoid the near-far problem. A pulse mode pseudolite has less interference than the continuous mode.

Location patterns of protected horticulture were analyzed using a multiple correspondence analysis(MCA). The analysis could be used in evaluating location suitability of protected horticulture. The location factors of the protected horticulture for MCA include land category, size of protected horticulture, land slope, topography, effictive soil depth, irrigation and drainage condition, distance from roads, and so forth. The results showed that there were three different location patterns of protected horticulture. The first pattern was characterized by their nearness to villages. The facilities of this pattern were mainly located near to residential area. The second pattern was of those found in plain area. The facilities of this pattern were large in scale and located in paddy field far from residential area. The facilities of the last pattern were small in scale and located on nonpaddy fields. They were mostly found in hilly or mountainous area.

People in the advanced society have deep interest in such environmental problems as noise, air quality, water pollution, etc. This paper submits the result of the research on the noise In the surroundings of the butane can explosion location. First, the noise level measured in a residential area, 245 meters' away from the butane can explosion location, was 59.3 dB. Also, the noise level measured in the IGUP (International Graduate University of Peace), 300 meters' away from the explosion site, was 52.5 dB. Second, the above noise levels are lower than the level specified In the Environmental Standard (65 dB), which represented that the experiment was safe. Third, the noise level in a place away from the butane can explosion location varied in accordance with the direction of the wind. Consequently, the noise in all locations (the places where damage to people is expected) surrounding the experimental butane can explosion location was measured to identify the effect of the wind irection.
