In an underlay cognitive simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) network, communication from secondary user (SU) to secondary destination (SD) is accomplished with decode-and-forward (DF) relays. Multiple energy-constrained relays are assumed to harvest energy from SU via power splitting (PS) protocol and complete SU secure information transmission with beamforming. Hence, physical layer security (PLS) is investigated in cognitive SWIPT network. In order to interfere with eavesdropper and improve relay's energy efficiency, a destination-assisted jamming scheme is proposed. Namely, SD transmits artificial noise (AN) to interfere with eavesdropping, while jamming signal can also provide harvested energy to relays. Beamforming vector and power splitting ratio are jointly optimized with the objective of SU secrecy capacity maximization. We solve this non-convex optimization problem via a general two-stage procedure. Firstly, we obtain the optimal beamforming vector through semi-definite relaxation (SDR) method with a fixed power splitting ratio. Secondly, the best power splitting ratio can be obtained by one-dimensional search. We provide simulation results to verify the proposed solution. Simulation results show that the scheme achieves the maximum SD secrecy rate with appropriate selection of power splitting ratio, and the proposed scheme guarantees security in cognitive SWIPT networks.

A new operation strategy. which can guarantee the data consistency of engineering information among the various intelligent information systems, is presented for engineering information of bridges, and construction methodology of integrated database is developed to support the strategy. The two core standard techniques are adopted to construct the integrated database. One is the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) for CAD/CAE information and the other is the Extensible Markup Language(XML) for engineering document information. The former enabler structural engineers to handle the structural details with three-dimensional geometry-based information of bridges, and ACIS solid modeling kernel is employed to develop AutoCAD based application modules. The latter can make document files into data type for web-based application modules which assist end-users to search and retrieve engineering document data. In addition, relaying algorithm is developed to integrate the two different information, e.g. CAD/CAE information and engineering document information. The pilot application modules are also developed, and a case study subjected to the Han-Nam bridge is presented at the end of the paper to illustrate the use of the developed application modules.

An optimal design code for centrifugal pumps has been developed to determine geometric and fluid dynamic variables under appropriate design constraints. The optimization problem has been formulated with a nonlinear objective function to minimize one, two or all of the fluid dynamic losses, the net positive suction head required and the product price of a pump stage depending on the weighting factors selected as the design compromise. The optimal solution Is obtained by means of the Hooke and Jeeves direct search method. The performance analysis Is based on the mean streamline analysis using the present state-of-the-art loss correlations. The optimized efficiency and design variables of centrifugal pumps are presented in this paper as a function of non-dimensional specific speed in the range, $0.5{\leq}N$, ${\leq}1.3$. The diagrams presented herein can be used efficiently in the preliminary design phase of centrifugal pumps.

Modern electrochemical energy devices involve generation and reduction of fuel gases through electrochemical reactions of water splitting, alcohol oxidation, oxygen reduction, etc. Initially, these processes were executed in the presence of noble metal-based catalyst that showed low overpotential and high current density. However, its high cost, unavailability, corrosion and related toxicity limited its application. The search for alternative with high stability, durability, and efficiency led scientists towards carbon nanoparticles supported catalysts which has high surface area, good electrical conductivity, tunable morphology, low cost, ease of synthesis and stability. Carbon nanoparticles are classified into two groups based on morphology, one and zero dimensional particles. Carbon nanoparticles at zero dimension, denoted as carbon dots, are less used carbon support compared to other forms. However, recently carbon dots with improved electronic properties have become popular as catalyst as well as catalyst support. This review focused on the recent advances in electrocatalytic activities of carbon dots. The mechanisms of common electrocatalytic reactions and the role of the catalysts are also discussed. The review also proposed future developments and other research directions to overcome current limitations.

Geogakakos와 Bras의 일차원 지점 강수량 모형이 전주지점 호우모형으로 적합한지를 검토하였다. 구름 물리학을 토대로 한 이 모형의 기본변수는 운정의 압력, 평균 상승 기류 속도, 운저의 평균 운적직경의 역수값 등인데, 입력변수에 의하여 매개상수화 된다. 매개상수는 Hooke와 Jeeves의 직접 탐색 알고리즘에 의하여 평가되었다. 그 결과 계산 강우량과 실측 강우량과의 평균 자승 오차를 최소화 하는데 평균 상승 기류 속도와 운저 운적직경에 관계된 매개상수가 크게 기여하였다. 이러한 수치실험에서, 계산 총강우량과 실측 총강우량의 편차는 크지 않았으나 시간분포는 상당한 차이를 보였다.

요즘 다목적댐의 수력발전을 일으킬 수 있는 수자원은 용수공급이 증가함에 따라서 점점 감소하고 있는 형편이다. 한편 국내 수력 발전량의 거래가 다자간의 시장경제 체제로 형성될 경우, 수력에너지 생산자는 최적 공급량과 공급의 수문학적 신뢰도 수준을 제시해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 금강 수계 내 위치한 용담다목적댐의 수력 발전소에서 공급가능한 발전량과 공급 신뢰도를 평가하기 위하여 저수지 조작 기법으로 선형계획법을 적용하였고 1차원 조사법을 이용하여 유입량의 신뢰도와 수력 발전 공급량의 최적치를 결정하였고 그 주요 결과를 제시하였다.

Optimization has been developed to minimize the cost function while satisfying constraints. Nonlinear Programming method is used as a tool for the optimization. Usually, cost and constraint function calculations are required in the engineering applications, but those calculations are extremely expensive. Especially, the function and sensitivity analyses cause a bottleneck in structural optimization which utilizes the Finite Element Method. Also, when the functions are quite noisy, the informations do not carry out proper role in the optimization process. An algorithm called "Second-order Approximation Method" has been proposed to overcome the difficulties recently. The cost and constraint functions are approximated by the second-order Taylor series expansion on a nominal points in the algorithm. An optimal design problem is defined with the approximated functions and the approximated problem is solved by a nonlinear programming numerical algorithm. The solution is included in a candidate point set which is evaluated for a new nominal point. Since the functions are approximated only by the function values, sensitivity informations are not needed. One-dimensional line search is unnecessary due to the fact that the nonlinear algorithm handles the approximated functions. In this research, the method is analyzed and the performance is evaluated. Several mathematical problems are created and some standard engineering problems are selected for the evaluation. Through numerical results, applicabilities of the algorithm to large scale and complex problems are presented.presented.

In this paper, we study on finding the rail space in elevators by analyzing each image captured with CCD camera. We propose a method that applies one-dimensional matched filter to the pixels of a selected search space in the vertical line at a horizontal position and decides the position with the thickness of the space being represented by a black thick line in captured images. The pattern similarity representing how strongly the associated image pixels resemble with the thick line is defined and calculated with respect to each position along the vertical line of pixels. The position and thickness of the line are decided from the point having the maximum in pattern similarity graph. In the experiments of the proposed method under different illuminational conditions, it is observed that all the pattern similarity graphs show similar shape around door area independent of the conditions and the method can effectively detect the rail space if the rails are illuminated with even weak light. The method can be used for real-time embedded systems because of its simple algorithm, in which it is implemented in simple structure of program with small amount of operations in comparison with the conventional approaches using Canny edge detection and Hough transform.

In the hierarchical framework, galaxies grow through mergers and accretion. Those mechanisms leave faint features, such as stellar streams, shells and smooth stellar halos in the outskirts of galaxies. In order to search for those features in the nearby galaxies, we are conducting a KMTNet Nearby Galaxy Survey using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network. We present a deep and wide-field imaging of NGC 5236, a barred spiral galaxy. In one-dimensional surface brightness profiles, we reach 28, 29 mag/arcsec2 in the R- and B-band, respectively. We find that the outer disk of NGC 5236 can be well described with a single exponential profile up to 17 kpc (~3.8 Reff) indicating that the excess light due to the stellar halo is not clearly detected. B-R color gradually increases towards the outskirts of the galaxy. It may reveal that stellar properties in the outskirts are marginally distinctive from those in the central part.

사용자에게 보다 실감나는 입체감을 제공하기 위해 개발되고 있는 다시점 비디오는 두 대 이상의 카메라를 이용하여 촬영한 영상들을 기하학적으로 교정하고 공간적으로 처리하여 여러 방향의 다양한 시점 영상을 사용자에게 제공하는 3차원 영상처리 기술의 새로운 분야이다. 다시점 비디오는 사용자에게 시청 시점을 자유롭게 선택할 수 있는 기회를 주고 넓은 화면을 통한 3차원 입체감을 느낄 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 그러나 다시점 비디오는 시점 수가 증가하는 만큼 데이터 양도 증가하므로 효율적인 데이터 처리 방법이 요구된다. 최근 인접한 시점의 영상을 이용하여 중간시점의 영상을 합성하고 이를 부호화에 적용하는 방법이 연구되고 있다. 다시점 비디오 부호화 효율을 높이기 위해 제안되었던 기존의 영상보간법은 최대변위 설정과 고정된 블록을 이용한 블록정합 방법을 이용한다. 이때, 변위 종류가 다양한 영상이거나 변위차가 큰 영역에 대해서 변위 오류가 많이 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하고 개선된 화질의 중간시점의 영상을 얻기 위한 방법과 이 영상을 이용하여 부호화에 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 영상보간법은 변위의 검색 범위를 초기에 설정하지 않고 블록 단위부터 화소 단위까지 변위를 측정하여 중간영상을 합성한다. 또한 이렇게 합성한 영상을 부호화 과정에서 참조 영상으로 추가하여 부호화한다. 이 논문에서 제안한 방법을 이용한 결과, 기존의 영상 보간법보다 약 $1{\sim}4dB$ 정도 개선된 화질의 중간시점 영상을 얻었고, 이 영상들을 이용하여 제안한 부호화 방법으로 부호화한 결과 참조 모델에 비해 최대 0.5 dB의 부호화 효율이 개선됨을 확인했다.
