Location-Based Services(LBS) give rise to location-based queries of which results depend on the locations of moving objects. One of important applications of LBS is to examine tracks of continuously moving objects. Moving objects databases need to provide 3-dimensional indexing for efficiently processing range queries on the movement of continuously changing positions. An extension of the 2-dimensional R-tree to include time dimension shows low space utilization and poor search performance, because of high overlap of index nodes and their dead space. To solve these problems, we propose a new R-tree based indexing technique, namely TR-tree. To increase storage utilization, we assign more entries to the past node by using the unbalanced splitting policy. If two nodes are highly overlapped, these nodes are forcibly merged. It is the forced merging policy that reduces the dead space and the overlap of nodes. Since big line segments can also affect the overlap of index nodes to be increased, big line segments should be clipped by the clipping policy when splitting overfull nodes. The TR-tree outperforms the 3DR-tree and TB-tree in all experiments. Particularly, the storage utilization of the TR-tree is higher than the R-tree and R*-tree.

Due to the changes in the distribution market, issues related to storage and distribution of agricultural, aquatic and livestock products, and storage and transportation of processed and fresh food are rapidly emerging, and as a result, Cold Chain is naturally receiving attention as one of the logistics services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the competitiveness of location in the construction of a cold chain cluster centered on the metropolitan area, which has attracted attention in relation to the distribution of cold chains, such as recently refrigerated frozen foods. To this end, this study evaluated the competitiveness of cold chain cluster candidates in the metropolitan area by utilizing the CFPR (Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations) method that can efficiently extract and quantify expert knowledge. As a result, the location competitiveness was found to be superior to Incheon New Port's hinterland, Gyeonggi South Area (Yongin), Gyeonggi West Area (Gimpo Logistics Complex), and Pyeongtaek Oseong Logistics Complex. In particular, this study extracted the knowledge of refrigerated and refrigerated logistics warehouse operation experts, and conducted detailed competitiveness assessments for cold chain cluster candidates in the metropolitan area, and suggested the optimal cluster candidates. In the future research, it is necessary to classify the questionnaire into the owner, large business group, and public business group, etc., who have the right to purchase and build to secure ownership of the fresh food distribution center.

This study mainly examined the unit space (room) called 'MARI' of the private houses that were built between the 19c and the early 20c in the insular areas of southwestern sea. Generally, this region has unique historicity (restructure of the insular environment in the 17c and the 18c) and geographic environment that are different from inland regions thus the environment is presumed as a related factor to developments and structures of the private houses. 'MARI' is a noticeable space that is installed in a main building without an exception even in small 3 bedroom private houses. Its nature has location and usage distinctions in an architectural plan with similar 'MARU' of inland Jeollanam-Do. There are large crocks filled with grains at MARI. Thus, MARI is a storage room. Mostly rice and various other kinds of grains are stored in the several crocks, large and small. Many household goods are kept here as well. Another peculiar function of MARI is that this space commonly enshrines ancestral tablets of three generations. Hence, MARI takes a role of a shrine of an aristocratic house from an inland region. Considering the size of the house and space, this seems to be a very unprecedented utilization of area. MARI is located at the top (at the head of the house) on the floor plan. In other words, it is located at the space in the highest rank. The importance of ancestor worship and grains is evinced architecturally. It is really interesting fact that MARI is also located within recently built modern houses (Cheongsan Island, Joyak Island, etc.). Therefore, it can be said that the unique MARI tradition of this region has an intact continuity even today. After all, MARI has a great significance as a unique unit space of insular areas of southwestern sea that is installed in the main buildings of all houses regardless of size and shape of the houses, and their insular locations.

The Waimea Basin is located on the northern tip of the South Island of New Zealand. It is a highly productive area with intense water use with multi-stakeholder interest in water. Irrigation from the underground aquifers here makes up the largest portion of used water; however the same aquifers are also the key urban and industrial sources of water. The Waimea/Wairoa Rivers are the main sources of recharge to the underlying aquifers and also feed the costal springs that highly valued by the community and iwi. Due to the location of the main rivers and springs close to the urban centre the water resource system here has high community and aesthetic values. Recent enhanced hydrological modelling work has shown the water resources in this area to be over allocated by 22% for a 1:10 year drought security for maintaining a minimalistic flow of 250 l/s in the lower Waimea River. The current irrigated land area is about 3700 hectares with an additional potential for irrigation of 1500 hectares. Further pressures are also coming on-line with significant population growth in the region. Recent droughts have resulted in significant water use cutbacks and the threat of seawater intrusion in the coastal margins. The Waimea Water Augmentation Committee (WWAC) initiated a three year stage 1 feasibility study in 2004/2005 into the viability of water storage in the upper parts of the catchment for enhancing water availability and its security of supply for consumptive, environmental, community and aesthetic benefits downstream. The project also sought to future proof water supply needs for the Waimea Plains and the surrounding areas for a 50 - 100 year planning horizon. The broad range stage 1 investigation programme has identified the Upper Lee Catchment as being suitable for a storage structure to provide the needs identified and also a possibility for some small scale hydro electricity generation as well. The stage 2 detailed feasibility investigations that are underway now (2007/2008), and to be completed in two years is to provide all details for progressing with the next stage of obtaining necessary permits for construction and commissioning a suitable dam.

This study was conducted to investigate the satisfaction of school dietitians with foodservice facilities and utilities in the Chonbuk area of Korea. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from a total of 22 dietitians. Statistical data analysis was completed using the SPSS v. 10.0 program. The results are summarized as follows. Among the 222 school foodservice systems, 68.5% of the schools prepared meals the conventional way and 31.5% prepared them the commissary way. Most of the school foodservice facilities were located on the first floor. Satisfaction with the location of the foodservice facility was not significantly different between the conventional and commissary systems. However, overall dietitian satisfaction with the foodservice facility locations was poor. Approximately 30% of the dietitians responded that one of the most important problems for foodservice management was the limited space and worn-out equipments in the kitchens. For dietitians' satisfaction on the types of facilities present, most schools had constructed dietitian offices, food storage facilities, cafeterias, rest rooms, dressing rooms, and preparation facilities. Yet, the amenities most often missing were storage facilities, preparation facilities, dressing rooms, rest rooms, etc. For overall satisfaction with the status of facilities and utilities, we found no significant differences between dietitians in the conventional(2.89) and commissary foodservice systems(2.86); however, the satisfaction level among the dietitians was poor. Therefore, governmental regulation agencies need to review and approve plans prior to the new construction or extensive remodeling of school foodservice facilities. Finally, content analysis was also conducted regarding the dietitians' opinions on foodservice facilities and utilities.

If large-scale PV systems are continuously interconnected to distribution system, customer voltages could violate the allowable voltage limit($220{\pm}13V$) according to reverse power flow of PV system. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes flexible adoption evaluation algorithm of PV system in distribution system which estimates proper introduction capacity and location of ESS(energy storage system) for keeping customer voltages within allowable voltage limit based on various operating scenarios related with connecting point and capacity of PV system. And also this paper proposes modeling of ESS, SVR(step voltage regulator) and PV system using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W and analyzes characteristics of customer voltages and the adoption ability of PV system in distribution system. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that proposed algorithm is useful for large-scale adoption of PV system in distribution system to maintain customer voltages within allowable voltage limit.

This study is for design of the detention system distributed in a watershed by the Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms(MOGAs). A new model is developed to determine optimal size and location of detention. The developed model has two primary interfaced components such as a rainfall runoff model to simulate water surface elevation(or flowrate) and MOGAs to get the optimal solution. The objective functions used in this model depend on the peak flow and storage of detention. With various constraints such as structural limitations, capacities of storage and operational targets. The developed model is applied at Gwanyang basin within Anyang watershed. The simulation results show the maximum outlet reduction is occurred at detention facilities located in upper reach of watershed in the peak discharge rates. It is also reviewed the simultaneous construction of an off-line detention and an on-line detention. The methodologies obtained from this study will be used to control the flood discharges and to reduce flood damage in urbanized watershed.

In this paper, we propose an efficient continuous range query processing scheme using a modified grid based query indexing to reduce storage spaces and to accelerate processing time. The proposed method has two major features. First, each query has a bit identifier and each cell in a grid has a bit pattern that consists of the bit identifiers of the queries. The bit patterns present the relationship between cells and queries. Using the bit patterns, we can compute quickly what queries overlap a cell in a grid and reduce the number of unnecessary operations by comparing the bit patterns without comparing the query identifiers when we compute the relation between cells and queries. Second, the management of cells in the grid by groups prevents from wasting the storage space through the increase of the length of the bit pattern and increasing the comparison costs of bit patterns. We show through the performance evaluation that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

This study was conducted at five Ethylene Oxide(EO) sterilizing processes in hospitals located in Seoul from August 8 to August 30, 1994. The main purposes of this study were to assess the TWA(Time Weighted Average) and short term exposures to EO and to evaluate factors affecting EO concentrations in sterilizing room. Results are summarized as follows. 1. The TWA concentrations of the sterilizing operators ranged from <0.005ppm to 3.04ppm and those of two sterilizing rooms out of five exceeded 1ppm, the Korean and ACGIH standards. 2. When the door of the sterilizer is opened at the end of the sterilization cycle, the short term concentrations of operators ranged from <0.005ppm to 11.4ppm, and those of three sterilizing room out of five exceeded 5ppm, the ACGIH short term exposure limit(STEL). The short term concentrations of area samples ranged from 0.24ppm to 49.2ppm and those of four sterilizing room out of five exceeded 5ppm. 3. Factors affecting EO exposure level were aeration type, the location of storage site for sterilized item, amount of gas, use period of sterilizer(p<0.005). 4. Following recommendations are suggested to minimize exposure to EO. The use of EO gas should be reduced by using another available sterilization methods, and the sterilizers and gas tank storage site should be isolated from, other work areas. Combination of local and general ventilation system should be installed. Metal carts or baskets for sterilization load should be used, and work environment and medical monitoring should be performed regularly.

At the opening ceremony of 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, an unknown cyber-attack occurred. The malicious code used in the attack is based on in-memory malware, which differs from other malicious code in its concealed location and is spreading rapidly to be found in more than 140 banks, telecommunications and government agencies. In-memory malware accounts for more than 15% of all malicious codes, and it does not store its own information in a non-volatile storage device such as a disk but resides in a RAM, a volatile storage device and penetrates into well-known processes (explorer.exe, iexplore.exe, javaw.exe). Such characteristics make it difficult to analyze it. The most recently released in-memory malicious code bypasses the endpoint protection and detection tools and hides from the user recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to efficiently extract the payload by unpacking injection through IDA Pro debugger for Dorkbot and Erger, which are in-memory malicious codes.
