Shannon and Weaver's semantic communication has been actively studied in recent years as a new communication method to provide intelligent mobile services without requiring more capacity, infrastructure, and energy, even with limited radio resources. Considered a breakthrough beyond the Shannon paradigm, semantic communication aims at successfully transmitting semantic information conveyed by a source rather than accurately receiving each symbol or bit, regardless of meaning. Thus, semantic communication can lead to knowledgeable systems that significantly reduce data traffic because the transmitter only transmits the necessary information related to a specific task. This study describes essential differences between existing and semantic communication, research trends related to semantic communication principles and theory, performance metrics of semantic communication, semantic communication system framework, and future research and development issues.

본 논문은 최근 대두되고 있는 에너지안보의 문제를 지수화 방식으로 한국사례를 분석하고 그 의미를 고찰한다. 에너지안보는 화석연료의 수요 급증, 중동정세 불안, 화석연료고갈 등 다양한 문제점 및 우려로 인해 국가적 주요 쟁점으로 자리 잡았다. 에너지안보는 유용성, 접근성, 환경용인성, 가격적 절성으로 구분 설명될 수 있다. 특히 접근성은 생산과 소비의 공간적 불균형에 관한 의미를 담고 있다. 본 논문에서, 연료의 다양성이 높아지면 일부 에너지원에 의한 취약성을 분산시켜 에너지안보의 안정성을 증대시킬 수 있다는 가설에 의거, 접근성 차원에서의 에너지안보를 연구대상으로 정했다. 연료 다양성 수준의 측정은 Shannon-Wiener식을 사용했다. 분석 결과 2012년 기준 한국의 다양성지수(H지수) 성장률은 18.38%로 주요 선진국들에 비해 높았다. 그러나 한국의 다양성 지수값 자체는 1.93으로 선진국 대비 낮은 수치를 나타냈다. 가장 큰 이유는 선진국 대비 전체 에너지에서 신재생에너지가 차지하는 비중이 상대적으로 낮았기 때문이다. 화석연료자원이 없는 한국이 에너지안보 수준을 높이기 위해서는 독일과 같은 강력한 신재생에너지 보급정책을 바탕으로 에너지믹스의 구성을 변화시키는 적극적인 다양성 제고 노력이 필요하다.

Coastal dunes must be conserved. Their native halophytes support coastal geography while their symbiotic microorganisms help vegetation thrive. The Goraebul coast has the largest, well-conserved dune system on the East Sea of the Korean Peninsula due to a climax mixed halophyte (C. soldanella, C. kobomugi, and E. mollis) vegetation support. This study identified rhizobacteria and their diversity in mixed halophyte communities unique to Goraebul. Five phyla, 12 genera, and 21 species were identified based on 16S rDNA sequences from 65 isolates. The phylum Bacillota, class Bacillota, order Bacillales, and family Bacillaceae were identified, with Bacillus as the dominant genus (46.15%). The richness and Shannon's diversity were higher at the species than at the genus level due to the dominance of Bacillus; however, various Bacillus species (7) were identified. Therefore, the climax mixed vegetation adapted to the Goraebul coast may exert natural selection pressure in favor of the common characteristics of Bacillus. However, despite this advantage, the Shannon equitability (0.86), Simpson (0.08), and Shannon diversity (2.79) indexes indicate a stable rhizosphere cluster and the climax mixed vegetation is affected by symbiotic relationships between healthy rhizosphere microbiota.

A novel heart beat interval estimation algorithm is presented based on parabola approximation method. This paper presented a two-step processing scheme; a first stage is finding R-peak in the Electrocardiogram (ECG) by Shannon energy envelope estimator and a secondary stage is computing the interpolated peak location by parabola approximation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than with the previous method using low sampled ECG signals.

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using gaze entropy to evaluate an operator's situation awareness in an emergency accident situation of a nuclear power plant. Gaze entropy can be an effective measure for evaluating an operator's situation awareness at a nuclear power plant because it can express gaze movement as a single comprehensive number. In order to determine the relationship between situation awareness and gaze entropy for an emergency accident situation of a nuclear power plant, an experiment was conducted to measure situation awareness and gaze entropy using simulators created for emergency accident situations LOCA, SGTR, SLB, and LOV. The experiment was to judge the accident situation of nuclear power plants presented in the simulator. The results showed that situation awareness and Shannon, dwell time, and Markov entropy had a significant negative correlation, while visual attention entropy (VAE) did not show any significant correlation with situation awareness. The results determined that Shannon entropy, dwell time entropy, and Markov entropy could be used as measures to evaluate situation awareness.

To address the problems of large system overhead and low timeliness when dealing with task scheduling in mobile edge cloud computing, a task scheduling and resource management strategy for edge cloud computing based on an improved genetic algorithm was proposed. First, a user task scheduling system model based on edge cloud computing was constructed using the Shannon theorem, including calculation, communication, and network models. In addition, a multi-objective optimization model, including delay and energy consumption, was constructed to minimize the sum of two weights. Finally, the selection, crossover, and mutation operations of the genetic algorithm were improved using the best reservation selection algorithm and normal distribution crossover operator. Furthermore, an improved legacy algorithm was selected to deal with the multi-objective problem and acquire the optimal solution, that is, the best computing task scheduling scheme. The experimental analysis of the proposed strategy based on the MATLAB simulation platform shows that its energy loss does not exceed 50 J, and the time delay is 23.2 ms, which are better than those of other comparison strategies.

Industrial cooling towers are often ageing infrastructure that is expensive to maintain and operate. A novel approach is introduced in which a heat pump circuit is incorporated to reduce the load upon the towers by extracting low-grade energy from the stream sent to the towers and repurposing in on-site processing operations. To demonstrate the concept, a model was constructed, which uses industrial data on cooling towers linked to a smelter's sulphuric acid plant, to allow direct economic and environmental impact comparison between different heat recovery and repurposing scenarios. The model's results showed that implementing a heat pump system would significantly decrease annual operating costs and achieve a payback period of 3 years. In addition, overall CO₂ emissions could be reduced by 42% (430,000 kg/year) and a 5% heat load reduction on the cooling towers achieved. The concept is significant as the outcomes introduce a new way for energy intensive industrial sectors, such as mineral processing, to reduce energy consumption and improve long-term sustainable performance.

Energy is a major component of almost all economic, production, and service activities, and rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization have led to ever growing demand for energy. Limited energy resources and increasingly evident environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption has led to a growing awareness about the importance of further use of renewable energy sources in the countries energy portfolio. Renewable hydrogen production is a convenient method for storage of unstable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy for use in other place or time. In this study, suitability of 25 cities located in Iran's western region for renewable hydrogen production are evaluated by multi-criteria decision making techniques including TOPSIS, VIKOR, ELECTRE, SAW, Fuzzy TOPSIS, and also hybrid ranking techniques. The choice of suitable location for the centralized renewable hydrogen production is associated with various technical, economic, social, geographic, and political criteria. This paper describes the criteria affecting the hydrogen production potential in the study region. Determined criteria are weighted with Shannon entropy method, and Angstrom model and wind power model are used to estimate respectively the solar and wind energy production potential in each city and each month. Assuming the use of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production, the renewable hydrogen production potential of each city is then estimated based on the obtained wind and solar energy generation potentials. The rankings obtained with MCDMs show that Kermanshah is the best option for renewable hydrogen production, and evaluation of renewable hydrogen production capacities show that Gilangharb has the highest capacity among the studied cities.

We describe a redox-enhanced electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) that turns the electrolyte in a conventional EDLC into an integral, active component for charge storage-charge is stored both through faradaic reactions with soluble redox-active molecules in the electrolyte, and through the double-layer capacitance in a porous carbon electrode. The mixed-redox electrolyte, composed of vanadium and iodides, was employed to achieve high power density. The electrochemical reaction in a supercapacitor with vanadium and iodide was studied to estimate the charge capacity and energy density of the redox supercapacitor. A redox supercapacitor with a mixed electrolyte composed of 0.75 M NaI and 0.5 M $VOSO_4$ was fabricated and studied. When charged to a potential of 1 V, faradaic charging processes were observed, in addition to the capacitive processes that increased the energy storage capabilities of the supercapacitor. The redox supercapacitor achieved a specific capacity of 13.44 mAh/g and an energy density of 3.81 Wh/kg in a simple Swagelok cell. A control EDLC with 1 M $H_2SO_4$ yielded 7.43 mAh/g and 2.85 Wh/kg. However, the relatively fast self-discharge in the redox-EDLC may be due to the shuttling of the redox couple between the polarized carbon electrodes.

최근 무선센서 네트워크는 센서 영역 안에 수많은 센서 노드로 구성되어 있으며, 각각의 센서들은 강제적인 에너지 구속조건을 가지고 있으므로 효율적인 에너지 관리는 중요하다. WSN 응용 시스템에서 FEC(Forward error correction)는 데이터 전송의 에너지 효율성과 데이터 신뢰성을 증가시킨다. LDPC 코드는 FEC 코드중 하나로 코드워드의 길이가 커지면 다른 FEC 코드 보다 많은 부호화 작업을 필요로 하지만, 샤논의 용량 한계에 접근되어 있으며, 전송에너지의 감소와 데이터 신뢰도를 증가시키는데 사용되어진다. 본 논문에서는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)에서의 에너지 효율성 증가와 부호화의 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 LDPC(Low-density parity-check) 코드의 패리티 체크 행렬의 생성에 Linear-Congruence 방법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘은 부호화 에너지 효율성과 데이터의 신뢰도를 증가시켰다.
