Self-Powered Neutron Detectors(SPNDs) are used to calculate core power distributions, an essential factor in the safe operation of nuclear power plants. Some detectors may fail during normal operation, and signals from failed detectors are isolated from intact signals. The calculated detailed power distribution accuracy depends on the number of available detector signals. Failed detectors decrease the operating margin by enlarging the power distribution measurement error. Therefore, a thorough reconstruction of the failed detector signals is critical. This note suggests a compressive sensing based methodology that rationally reconstructs the readings of failed detectors. The methodology significantly improves reconstruction accuracy by sorting signals and removing high-frequency components from conventional compressive sensing methodology.

Global vegetation change is one of major global concerns. Remote sensing images provide an efficient and useful data source to estimate global vegetation covers, and a number of methods have been proposed to estimate them. Among them, the NDVI is one of the most popular indices, and it is_easy to calculate with simple image computing. However, this index is very much affected by the radiometric environment of sensing such as atmospheric conditions and the sun illumination angle. Therefore, it is not appropriate to apply the NDVI to investigate seasonal changes. This paper discusses these problems and proposes an alternative index, MODVI(Modified Vegetation Index), that is less affected by radiometric environment changes. An experiment was conducted to compare these two indices using temporal Landsat TM sub-scenes.

최근 한정된 주파수의 사용 효율성을 높이기 위해 Cognitive Radio 시스템의 허가 주파수 대역 사용을 제한적으로 용인하는 CR 기술이 각광받고 있다. CR 기술에서 최우선적으로 고려되어야 할 사항은 주 사용자의 통신을 보호하는 것이다. 즉 CR 사용자는 주 사용자의 출현을 인지하는 즉시 현재 채널의 사용을 중지해야 하며, 이러한 상황을 사전에 고려하여, 운용이 가능한 주파수 대역을 폭넓게 확보해야 한다. 이를 위해 CR 사용자는 지속적인 스펙트럼 센싱을 수행한다. CR 사용자가 스펙트럼을 센싱하는 동안에는 이용 중인 서비스가 일시적으로 중단되는 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 주 사용자를 보호하기 위한 CR 센싱 요구조건을 만족하는 전제 하에, CR 사용자의 QoS를 최대한 보장하면서 스펙트럼 센싱을 수행하도록 하는 채널 센싱 스케쥴링 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해, 센싱할 채널의 개수와 센싱 주기를 CR 센싱 요구조건의 주요 지표로 이용하였고, CR 사용자의 QoS 보장 요구사항은 패킷 지연과 손실 측면에서 분석하였다. 위의 센싱 스케쥴링 방법을 수치 분석을 통해 여러 파라미터들을 다양하게 변화시킴으로서, 다양한 환경에서 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있는 적합한 파라미터를 구할 수 있었다. 그리고 성능 평가를 통해 채널을 연속적으로 센싱하는 방법과 두 가지 측면, Delay와 성공적으로 전송한 패킷의 수를 비교하였을 때 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 2001년부터 2020년까지 지진과 관련된 지하수위, 수질, 라돈, 원격탐사, 전기비저항, 중력, 지자기 분야의 세계적으로 학술지에 게재된 논문 편수를 Web of Science에서 검색하여 그 경향성을 분석하였다. 그리고 논문 편수와 Mw 5.0 이상, Mw 6.0 이상, Mw 7.0 이상, Mw 8.0 이상, Mw 9.0 이상 지진 발생 건수를 비교 분석하였다. 지진과 관련한 중력, 라돈, 지하수(지하수위, 수질), 전기비저항, 지자기분야 논문 편수는 장기적으로 증가하는 추세를 보인다. 이는 원격탐사 기술의 발달, 측정 장비의 고도화, 빅데이터 분석 등을 통한 종합적인 자료 해석이 가능해지면서 여러 분야에서 지진 전조 및 지진 현상 연구가 활발해지고 있기 때문이다. Mann-Kendall과 Sen 추세 검정에 의하면, 중력 관련 논문의 경우 1.30편/년의 증가추세를 보이고, 라돈 0.60편/년, 지하수 0.70편/년, 전기비저항 0.25편/년, 원격탐사 0.67편/년의 증가추세를 보인다. Mw 5.0 이상, Mw 6.0 이상, Mw 7.0 이상, Mw 8.0 이상, Mw 9.0 이상의 지진발생 건수와 경향성을 제거한 분야별 논문 편수 간의 교차상관분석에 의하면, 라돈과 원격탐사 분야의 교차상관성이 높으며, 지연시간은 1년이다. 또한 2004년과 2005년 수마트라 지진, 2008년 쓰촨성 지진, 2010년 아이티 지진, 2010 칠레 지진 등의 큰 규모의 지진 발생이 논문 편수 증가와 관련되는 것으로 추정된다.

Interest and demand for hydrogen sensors are increasing in the field of H₂ leakage detection during storage/transport/use and detection of H₂ dissolved in transformer oil for safety issues as well as in the field of breath analysis for non-invasively diagnosing a number of disease states for a healthy life. In this study, various ZnO-based sensors were synthesized by controlling the reduction in crystallite size, decoration of Pt nanoparticles, doping of electron donating atoms, and doping of various atoms with different ionic radii. The sensing response of the various prepared ZnO-based nanoparticles and quantum dots (QDs) for 10 ppm H₂ was investigated. Among the samples, the smallest-sized (3.5 nm) In³⁺-doped ZnO QDs showed the best sensing response, which is superior to those in previously reported hydrogen sensors based on semiconducting metal oxides. The higher sensing response of In-doped ZnO QDs is attributed to the synergic effects of the increased number of oxygen vacancies, higher optical band gap, and larger specific surface area.

In cognitive radio networks, acquiring the position information of the primary user is critical to the communication of the secondary user. Localization of primary users can help improve the efficiency with which the spectrum is reused, because the information can be used to avoid harmful interference to the network while simultaneity is exploited to improve the spectrum utilization. Despite its inherent inaccuracy, received signal strength based on range has been used as the standard tool for distance measurements in the location detection process. Most previous works have employed the path-loss propagation model with a fixed value of the path loss exponent. However, in actual environments, the path loss exponent for each channel is different. Moreover, due to the complexity of the radio channel, when the number of channel increases, a larger number of RSS measurements are needed, and this results in additional energy consumption. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose using the Bayesian compressive sensing method with a calibrated path loss exponent to improve the performance of the PU localization method.

It was studied the relationship between the red tide occurrence and the meteorological and oceanographic factors, the choice of potential area for red tide occurrence, and the satellite monitoring for red tide. From 1990 through 2001, the red tide continuously appeared and the number of red tide occurrence increased every year. Then, the red tide bloomed during the periods of July and August. An important meteorological factor governing the mechanisms of the increasing in number of red tide occurrence was heavy precipitation. Oceanographic factors of favorable marine environmental conditions for the red tide formation included warm water temperature, low salinity, high suspended solid, low phosphorus, low nitrogen. A common condition for the red tide occurrence was heavy precipitation 2∼4 days earlier, and the favorable conditions for the red tide formation were high air temperature, proper sunshine and light winds for the day in red tide occurrence. From satellite images, it was possible to monitor the spatial distributions and concentrations of red tide. It was founded the potential areas for red tide occurrence in August 2000 by CIS conception: Yeosu∼Dolsan coast, Gamak bay, Namhae coast, Marado coast, Goheung coast, Deukryang bay, respectively.

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is considered as recent technology for the detection cancer cells in the human digestive system. WCE sends the captured information from inside the body to a sensor on the skin surface through a wireless medium. In WCE, the design of low-power consumption devices is a challenging topic. In the Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem, the number of samples should be at least twice the highest transmission frequency to reconstruct precise signals. The number of samples is proportional to the power consumption in wireless communication. This paper proposes compressive sensing as a method to reduce power consumption in WCE, by means of a trade-off between samples and reconstruction accuracy. The proposed scheme is validated under channel constraints, expressed as the realistic human body path loss. The results show that the proposed scheme achieves a significant reduction in WCE power consumption and achieves a faster computation time with low signal error reconstruction.
