This paper proposes RIX-MAC (Receiver-Initiated X-MAC), a new energy-efficient MAC protocol based on an asynchronous duty cycling. RIX-MAC improves energy efficiency through utilizing short preambles and adopting the receiver-initiated approach, where RIX-MAC minimizes sender nodes' energy consumption by enabling transmitters to predict receiver nodes' wake-up times. It also reduces receiver nodes' energy consumption by decreasing the number of control frames. We use the network simulator to evaluate RIX-MAC's performance. Compared to the prior asynchronous duty cycling approaches of X-MAC and PW-MAC, the proposed protocol shows a remarkable improvement in energy-efficiency and end-to-end delay.

The sudden collapse of Interstate 35 Bridge in Minneapolis gave a wake-up call to US municipalities to re-evaluate aging bridges. In this situation, structural health monitoring (SHM) technology can provide the essential help needed for monitoring and maintaining the nation's infrastructure. Monitoring long span bridges such as cable-stayed bridges effectively requires the use of a large number of sensors. In this article, we introduce a probabilistic approach to identify optimal locations of sensors to enhance damage detection. Probability distribution functions are established using an artificial neural network trained using a priori knowledge of damage locations. The optimal number of sensors is identified using multi-objective optimization that simultaneously considers information entropy and sensor cost-objective functions. Luling Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge over the Mississippi River, is selected as a case study to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

이 논문에서는 무선 센터 네트워크 환경과 이동성을 지원하는 MANET이 결합된 환경에서 센서 커버리지 최대화 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 기존 연구들의 가정사항은 센서 노드의 밀집도가 높다는 것이다. 따라서 센서 노드들의 sleep, wake-up 등의 스케줄링 방안들이 제시되어 왔다. 하지만 센서 노드들의 밀집도가 낮은 환경에서 센서 커버리지 최대화 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구는 미비한 상태이다. 제안하는 방식은 단일 실패점이 있는 중앙집중형 방식이 아닌 분산형 방식과 자가 조직 방식을 취하고 있어 메시지 복잡도가 낮으며 노드의 수에 확장적이다. 또한 각 노드가 전체 노드 정보를 알고 있다는 가정을 배제하고 있어 동적인 환경에 적합하다.

Recently, there has been a serious effort to design a wing in ground effect (WIG) craft. Vehicles of this type might use low aspect ratio wings defined as those with smaller than 3. Design and prediction techniques for fixed wings of relatively large aspect ratio are reasonably well developed. However, Aerodynamic problems related to vortex lift on wings of low aspect ratio have made it difficult to use existing techniques. In this work, we firstly focus on understanding aerodynamic characteristics of low aspect ratio wings and comparing the results from experimental measurements and currently available numerical predictions for both inviscid and viscous flows. Second, we apply an improved numerical method, "B-spline based high panel method with wake roll-up modeling", to the same problem.

널리 보급된 컴퓨터와 인터넷 그리고 모바일기기의 발달은 우리사회에 큰 변화를 주었다. 이는 이동성을 제공하면서 휴대 인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 서비스를 절실히 필요로 하게 되었고 그러한 요구에 부응하여 WiBro가 탄생하였다. 본 논문에서는 WiBro의 Downlink(DL)와 Uplink(UL)의 속도를 다양한 환경에서 현재 시판중인 WiBro 모뎀으로 성능을 평가해 보았고, 그 결과 WiBro에서 추구하는 DL:UL의 비율과 비슷하게 나옴을 확인하였다. 하지만 서비스 지역의 건물 내에서 WiBro의 서비스를 원활하게 받지 못하는 문제점을 발견하였고, 그 해결책으로 Fixed RS, Nomadic RS, 그리고 Mobile RS 3가지 방식을 제안하였다. 특히 건물의 경우는 Fixed RS(Relay Station)에서 Broadcast message 방식과 Wake-up 방식을 사용하도록 제안하였다.

In this paper, we propose the power-based pipelined-forwarding MAC protocol which can select relay nodes according to the residual power and energy harvesting rate in EH-WSN (energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks). The proposed MAC follows a pipelined-forwarding scheme in which nodes repeatedly sleep and wake up in an EH-WSN environment and data is continuously transmitted from a high-level node to a low-level node. The sleep interval is adaptively controlled so that nodes with low energy harvesting rate can be charged sufficiently, thereby minimizing the transmission delay and increasing the network lifetime. Simulation shows that the proposed MAC protocol improves the balance of residual power and network lifetime.

지상파 UHDTV가 2017년 5월 31일부터 수도권을 중심으로 송출되기 시작한지도 벌써 1년 가까이 되었으며, 수신되는 지역을 조금씩 확대하여 2021년까지는 전국을 커버하고자 진행되고 있다. 지상파 UHDTV는 직접수신이나 방송공동수신설비를 활용하여 수신율을 높이고자 하나, 현재까지는 "방송채널별 변복조형 신호처리기"의 보급이 활성화되지 못하여 시일이 조금은 미루어질 것으로 예상된다. 특히 지상파 UHDTV의 장점을 발휘하기 위해서는 해결해야 할 난제가 여러 가지가 있다. 본 논문에서는 지상파 UHDTV의 수신뿐만 아니라 ATSC3.0이 갖고 있는 다양한 특성과 장점을 알아보면서 제언을 하고자 한다. 결과적으로 UHDTV는 국민에게 무료 보편적 서비스로 당연히 제공되는 방송이 맞지만, 더욱 다양한 서비스(Wake-Up 이나 홈포털, VoD 등)가 무료나 유료로 제공되기 위해서는 지상파 방송사가 정부, TV제조사나 통신망 사업자 등과 상호협력이 필요함으로 지속적인 대화를 통한 해결방안을 찾아야 할 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of caffeine intake on sleep duration of college students. The data collection period was April 6 to June 30, 2023, and 381 samples were used for final analysis. The general characteristics of the subjects were 38.6% daily water intake of less than 1 liter, caffeine beverage intake was 36.5% once to twice a week, 25.2% three to four times, 13.9% five to six times, 14.7% zero times, and 9.7% more than seven times. The most common purpose of caffeine intake was "to wake up" at 54.6%. factors affecting the subjects' sleep were Caffeine drinks besides coffee and grades. Since this study confirmed that non-coffee caffeine drinks affect sleep duration among caffeine drinks available to students, it is necessary to provide education on caffeine intake control and information that the maximum daily intake is 400 mg for college students.

Iksan city is planning to construct a waste incinerator on the site of about $110,000\textrm{m}^2$ in size that will be selected from a public bid(Oct.~Nov.2002)in the wake of expiration by June 2003 of use for Hamyeol fill-up ground. Science it has usually been difficult to find sites for filling-up or incinerating facilities owing to NIMBY phenomenon, it is badly requested to employ up-to-date technology for processing wastes without environmental pollution. The conflicts between the administrative authorities and community people with regard to construction of incineration facilities, fill-up ground and facilities for waste processing or recycling are not the matters of just today but are increasingly deepening and spreading countrywide. There seems to be no prospect for these conflicts to be amicably settled through dialogues. They rather become a social disease inflicting the whole country like an epidemic. It is therefore believed to be necessary to introduce measures to design and build environment-friendly facilities that may be accepted by residents as not abominable ones but be used as amusing place while they watch the daily operation of them as watchdogs. Iksan city's plan to construct environment-friendly waste incineration facilities of pyrolysis type without chimney has undergone the process of public hearings and explanatory gatherings from every class of Iksan citizens to get consensus but is still delayed due mainly to be the failure of inducing foreign investments. Pyrolysis technology has two advantages ; first, environment-friendly due to less emission of second pollutants ; second, production of by-products highly valuable as resources. It Is known that Germany has recently begun installation and operation of pyrolysis facility urban wastes, an evidence indicating that pyrolysis method will be widely applied to cope with the tightened regulation to preserve environment worldwide.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between shiftwork and skeletal muscle mass index in a single university health check-up. Methods: We used data from 98,227 workers who answered in a special interview on health check-up at a local university hospital from 2014 to 2020. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted for comparing the association between skeletal muscle mass index and demographic and hematological variables in shiftwork and non-shiftwork groups. Mixed linear model analysis after controlling demographic and hematological variables was used to analyze the difference of skeletal muscle mass index between groups at every visit for seven years. Results: In linear regression analysis, the variables most significantly correlated with skeletal muscle index in both groups were shiftwork(p=0.049), BMI(p<0.001), hypertension(p=0.024), platelet(p<0.001), total protein (p<0.001), AST(p=0.028), ALT(p=0.003), ALP(p<0.001), total cholesterol(p=0.002), triglyceride(p=0.019), BUN (p=0.001), creatinine(p<0.001), and uric acid(p=0.002). After the adjustment for demographic and hematologic variables, the skeletal muscle mass index at every visit was decreased both in the shiftwork group and non-shiftwork group. The slope of the shiftwork group was -0.240 and non-shiftwork group -0.149, showing a significant difference (p<0.001). Conclusions: In the shiftwork group, the skeletal muscle mass index showed a tendency to decrease markedly over time compared to the non-shiftwork group. It is presumed that shift workers' skeletal muscle health was adversely affected by changes in the biological clock due to changes in wake-up and sleep patterns, and changes in food intake.
