The electrical power system (EPS) of Korean satellites in low-earth-orbit is designed to achieve energy balance based on a one-orbit mission scenario. This means that the battery has to be fully charged at the end of a one-orbit mission. To provide the maximum solar array (SA) power generation, the peak power tracking (PPT) method has been developed for a spacecraft power system. The PPT is operated by a software algorithm, which tracks the peak power of the SA and ensures the battery is fully charged in one orbit. The EPS should be designed to avoid the stress of electronics in order to handle the main bus power from the SA power. This paper summarizes the results of energy balance to achieve optimal power sizing and the actual trend analysis of EPS performance in orbit. It describes the results of required power for the satellite operation in the worst power conditions at the end-of-life, the methods and input data used in the energy balance, and the case study of energy balance analyses for the normal operation in orbit. Both 10:35 AM and 10:50 AM crossing times are considered, so the power performance in each case is analyzed with the satellite roll maneuver according to the payload operation concept. In addition, the data transmission to the Korea Ground Station during eclipse is investigated at the local-time-ascending-node of 11:00 AM to assess the greatest battery depth-of-discharge in normal operation.

Because the traditional public key-based cryptosystems are unsuitable for the sensor node with limited computational and communication capability, a secure communication between two neighbor sensor nodes becomes an important challenging research in sensor network security. Therefore several session key establishment protocols have been proposed for that purpose. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the existing session key establishment protocols based on the criterions of generation strategy and uniqueness of the session key, connectivity, overhead of communication and computation, and vulnerability to attacks. Based on the analysis results, we specify the requirements for the secure and efficient protocols for establishing session keys. Then, we propose an advanced protocol to satisfy the specified requirements and verify the superiority of our protocol over the existing protocols through the detailed analysis.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is a special network that collects measured data by sensor nodes in the predefined sensor field and forwards them to the base station in a distance using their own routing scheme. WSN requires routing techniques to maximize energy efficiency because sensor nodes have non-rechargeable and thus limited energy. Characteristics of WSN are various according to applications, many of routing algorithms have been proposed. This paper proposes an algorithm called A-PEGASIS that basically bases on PEGASIS and enhances in two aspects - an elegant chain generation algorithm and periodical update of chains. We compare performance of the previous algorithm of LEACH, PEGASIS, PEDAP and PEDAP-PA with ours through simulation. It confirms that the A-PEGASIS is most superior in terms of average WSN lifetime and high probability of node survival rate during WSN life time.

Background: Adipose tissues were initially introduced as energy storages, but recently they have become famous as an endocrine organ which produces and secretes various kinds of molecules to make physiologic and metabolic changes in human body. It has been studied that these molecules are secreted in abundance as the adipose tissue becomes bigger along with obesity. Furthermore, it has been found that they are mediating systemic inflammation and generation of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. On the basis of these, we studied previous papers which have been researched about the interaction between preadipocytes and macrophages, adipose tissues and lymph nodes, and adipose tissue secreting molecules. Results: Firstly, preadipocytes and macrophages are expressing similar transcriptomes and proteins, and preadipocytes can be converted to mature macrophages which have phagocytic activity. Moreover, the monocytes, which initially located in the bone marrow, are filtrated to the adipose tissue by monocyte chemotatic protein-1 and are matured to macrophages by colony stimulating factor-1. Secondly, adipose tissues and their associated lymph nodes are interacting each other in terms of energy efficiency. Lymph nodes promote lipolysis in adipose tissues, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in adipocytes become energy sources for dendritic cells. Lastly, adipose tissues produce and secrete proinflammatory molecules such as leptin, adiponectin, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, and acute phase proteins, which induce the inflammation and potentially generate metabolic diseases. Conclusion: According to these, we can link adipose tissues to inflammation, but we need to affirm the actual levels and roles of adipose tissue-derived proinflammatory molecules in human body.

Mobile device, one of typical devices in ubiquitous environment, is received attention owing to portability. In these days, technical researches on a kind of the device are focusing on applications of smart phone. For example, the techniques using geographical position and applied instances such as augmented reality techniques are gradually increasing. That makes data processing important. Mobile application services for users also require various application techniques based on moving objects. In addition, they require the techniques that processed data are needed to be shown in visualization. However, this is reality that it lacks of showing visualization works to improve the understanding of thing what it is. To reduce or solve the problems, in this paper we show the results to implement the R tree based 3 dimension index architecture in visualization. Further, we implemented and present creating objects, showing in 3D for the objects, catching spatial position on a node map through mini map function and improving the understanding of R tree by visualizing.

Recently, the I/O performance of a single node is rapidly improving due to the advent of high-performance SSD. As a result, the next-generation storage platform based on SSD has received a great deal of attention and such storage platforms are increasingly adopted to commodity servers or data centers that look for the high-bandwidth computation and I/O. However, building all SSD-based storage platform may not be cost-effective because the price per storage capacity is very high as compared to that of HDD. In this paper. we propose a hybrid file management solution, called HyPLVM(Hybrid Priority Logical Volume Manager), which combines the strength of SSD with the desirable aspects of low-price, high-storage capacity HDD. HyPLVM prioritizes the files and directories to be accessed by users, in order to determine the target storage device (SSD/HDD) in which files are allocated, while mitigating the cost of building storage platforms.

In this paper, we investigate the system performance of a cooperative relaying system of Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with successive interference cancellation (SIC), which is considered promising application in fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. Previous studies have focused on the selected relays, however we include the maxmin relay selection and derive analytical outage probability of opportunistic incremental relaying systems. For the realistic mobile environment, the distributions of relays are modeled as a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP). And maximal ratio combining (MRC) is adapted to improve the system performance at the destination node. Analytical results demonstrate the outage probability improves with the near/far user power ratio, and the cooperative relaying scheme can achieve low outage probability in comparison to the no relaying scheme. It is also conformed that the increase of the intensity of PPP cause higher gains of the spacial diversity and hence the performance improves.

In this study an adaptive node generation procedure in the Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method using bubble-meshing technique is Proposed. Since we construct the initial configuration of nodes by subdivision of background cell, abrupt changes of inter-nodal distance between higher and lower error regions are unavoidable. This unpreferable nodal spacing induces additional errors. To obtain the smooth nodal configuration the nodal configurations are regenerated by bubble-meshing technique. This bubble meshing technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. In odder to evaluate the effect of abrupt changes of nodal spacing, one-dimensional problems with various nodal configurations mere investigated. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the sequences of making optimal nodal configuration with bubble meshing technique are investigated for several problems.

The objectives of this study are to analyse the thermal response behavior occurring in the charring ablative material more realistically by considering ablation and char phenomena occurring in several material layers, and to increase the reliability of thermal analysis by being able to get stable solutions through using the finite analytic method. A program has been developed to predict the temperature distribution, ablation thickness, char thickness, ablation velocity and char velocity by solving non-linear one-dimensional heat conduction equation. Results of calculation were compared with results of published papers. From this compariosn this program was proved to be a very good tool for thermal design and analysis of charring ablative materials used in the rocket propulsion system.
