This paper designs and Implements a connectivity analyzer for the hybrid vehicular network based on the real-life movement history data achieved from the Taxi telematics system currently in operation, aiming at providing a useful guideline and information to build a telematics network. The simulator traces the location of each vehicle, sets the vehicle type, either gateway or normal, decides whether it can be connected to a mobile gateway, keeps track of status of the vehicle, and calculates the duration of disconnected state. With this analysis considering the transmission range and gateway ratio, we can decide the cost-effective number of mobile gateways having both cellular and ad-hoc network interfaces, and buffer space requirement based on the measured disconnection time and message generation ratio.

최근 낸드 플래시 메모리는 임베디드 저장 장치로서 많이 사용되고 있을 뿐만 아니라 플래시 메모리의 저장 용량의 대용량화로 하드 디스크를 대체하는 SSD(solid state disk) 같은 제품이 출시되고 있다. 플래시 메모리는 하드디스크에 비하여 저전력, 빠른 접근성, 물리적 안정성 등의 장점이 있지만 읽기와 쓰기의 연산의 불균형적인 비용과 덮어 쓰기가 안 되고 쓰기 전에 해당 블록을 지워야하는 부가적인 작업을 수행해야 한다. 이와 같은 특징은 플래시 메모리의 쓰기 성능을 저하 시키고 기존의 하드디스크를 대체하는 것을 어렵게 만든다. 이와 같은 플래시 메모리의 단점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서 비휘발성 메모리와 플래시 메모리를 함께 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 최근 MRAM, FeRAM, PRAM과 같은 차세대 메모리 기술의 발전과 배터리 백업 메모리의 가격 하락으로 인하여 비휘발성 메모리의 상품적 가치가 높아지고 있다. 하지만 아직까지 용량 대비 가격이 비효율적이기 때문에 소용량의 비휘발성 메모리를 활용하여 플래시 메모리의 쓰기 연산에 대한 단점을 보완하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 FTL 에서 비휘발성 메모리를 쓰기 버퍼로 이용한 여러 가지 버퍼 관리 정책을 실험하였고 각 관리 정책에 따른 플래시 메모리의 성능 향상을 측정하였다. 실험을 통하여 최대로 읽기의 횟수는 90% 감소, 쓰기 횟수는 33% 감소, 소거 횟수는 50% 감소 효과를 보였다.

In this study, we analyze the current state of domestic food waste (FW) recycling and propose a management plan for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. First, the composting potential of the GW demonstrates considerable promise. In particular, the GW (phytoplankton, periphyton, macrophyte, etc.) as a third-generation biomass shows strong performance as a functional additive that mitigates the disadvantages associated with composting FW and improves the quality of the final composted product. Alternatively, the final product (e.g., soil ameliorant) can be used to produce bio-filters that are effective pollutant buffers, with high applicability for green infrastructure. The proposed ecological approaches create new opportunities for FW as a resource for the reduction of GHG emissions, and are expected to contribute to the establishment of effective net-zero carbon systems in the future.

For higher sensitivity in ultraviolet (UV) and even vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) detection of silicon-based sensors, a sandwich-structured film sensor based on Ag Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) was designed and fabricated. This film sensor was composed of a Ag nanoparticles (NPs) layer, SiO2 buffer and fluorescence layer by physical vapour deposition and thermal annealing. By tuning the annealing temperature and adding the SiO2 layer, the resonance absorption wavelength of Ag NPs matched with the emission wavelength of the fluorescence layer. Due to the strong plasmon resonance coupling and electromagnetic field formed on the surface of Ag NPs, the radiative recombination rate of the luminescent materials and the number of fluorescent molecules in the excited state increased. Therefore, the fluorescent emission intensity of the sandwich-structured film sensor was 1.10-1.58 times at 120-200 nm and 2.17-2.93 times at 240-360 nm that of the single-layer film sensor. A feasible method is provided for improving the detection performance of UV and VUV detectors.

A coupled T-H-M(Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical) analysis was carried out for KENTEX (KAERI Engineering-scale T-H-M Experiment for Engineered Barrier System), which is a facility for validating the coupled T-H-M behavior in the engineered barrier system of the Korean reference HLW(high-level waste) disposal system. The changes of temperature, water saturation, and stress were estimated based on the coupled T-H-M analysis, and the influence of the types of mechanical constitutive material laws was investigated by using elastic model, poroelastic model, and poroelastic-plastic model. The analysis was done using ABAQUS, which is a commercial finite element code for general purposes. From the analysis, it was observed that the temperature in the bentonite increased sharply for a couple of days after heating the heater and then slowly increased to a constant value. The temperatures at all locations were nearly at a steady state after about 37.5 days. In the steady state, the temperature was maintained at $90^{\circ}C$ at the interface between the heater and the bentonite and at about $70^{\circ}C$ at the interface between the bentonite and the confining cylinder. The variation of the water saturation with time in bentonite was almost same independent of the material laws used in the coupled T-H-M processes. By comparing the saturation change of T-H-M and that of H-M(Hydro-Mechanical) processes using elastic and poroelastic material mod31 respectively, it was found that the degree of saturation near the heater from T-H-M calculation was higher than that from the coupled H-M calculation mainly because of the thermal flux, which seemed to speed up the saturation. The stresses in three cases with different material laws were increased with time. By comparing the stress change in H-M calculation using poroelasetic and poroelasetic-plastic model, it was possible to conclude that the influence of saturation on the stress change is higher than the influence of temperature. It is, therefore, recommended to use a material law, which can model the elastic-plastic behavior of buffer, since the coupled T-H-M processes in buffer is affected by the variation of void ratio, thermal expansion, as well as swelling pressure.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the chemical composition and microflora of soy sauce during storage under the different temperature. The results obtained are as follows. (1) Total nitrogen, color density, specific gravity and sodium chloride concentration of soy sauce showed a increasing tendency in the progress of storage period. Open-storage state at $30^{\circ}C\;and\;15^{\circ}C$ were responsible to the increase of components as compare with close-storage state at $5^{\circ}C$. (2) pH and buffer action were not almost changed during the storage. (3) Alcohol and sugar contents of soy sauce showed a decreasing tendency in the process of storage period, especially in the case of open state alcohol being almost disappeared within 11 months in all groups. (4) The number of common bacteria in one ml of soy sauce were counted as $96{\times}10^4$ before pasteurization and $10^3$ after pasteurization. The osmophilic bacteria was counted as $38{\times}10^4$, $10^2$ after pasteurization. (5) The spore number of mold in one ml of soy sauce were counted $32{\times}10^7$ before pasteurization, 58 after pasteurization and 10 to $10^2$ in the progress of storage period. (6) The bacteria number of soy sauce were somewhat decreased with the passing, of the time. The group of high temperature and open state were more notable than low temperature and close state.

A review of recent studies indicates that positive emotions help buffer stress. In particular, humor is what only human can appreciate. Humor plays an important role in many facets of human life including psychological, social, and somatic functioning. This study is to identify children's ANS responses by humor or joy using audio-visual film clips. 49 male and female children (12-13 years) participated in this study. The participants were briefed on the experiment was its procedure. During the experiment, electrodes were attached to participant and middle fingers of left hands. Physiological responses(EDA, SKT, PPG and ECG) were measured for 30s both in the resting state and experiment state during which emotion provoking stimulus was presented for 2 min. Also, self-report on emotions was followed for 1 min. Results from the self-report showed that both humor and joy were evoked effectively among 89.3% of children. It explains that emotion-eliciting stimuli were effective and appropriate. ANS responses in both emotion were significant in three physiological variables (i.e., SCL, NSCR, LF). There was a significant difference between humor emotion and joy emotion, and both emotions were distinguishable by a specific ANS response pattern.

양자점(Quantum dot : QD)를 이용한 소자를 만들기 위해서는 수직방향으로의 적층이 필수적이다. 양자점의 적층은 수직적으로 같은 위치에 정렬하므로, 고려되어야 할 요소로는 양자점간의 파동함수의 중첩(coupling)에 의한 특성변화, 적층의 진행에 따른 변형(strain)의 증가로 기인되는 volcano 모양으로 나타나는 결함등이 있다. 이러한 결함은 nonradiative recombination center로 작용하여 오히려 효율이 떨어지게 되는 현상이 발생하게 되므로 본 연구에서는 적층횟수에 따른 발광효율의 변화를 조사하여 소자응용에 적절한 적층 조건을 조사하였다. 시료성장은 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) 장치를 이용하여 GAs(100) 기판위에 GaAs buffer를 58$0^{\circ}C$에서 150nm 성장후 InAs/GaAs 양자점과 50$0^{\circ}C$에서 적층회수 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 20회로 하였으며 적층성장 이후 GaAs cap layer를 성장하였다. GaAs spacing과 cap layer의 성장온도 역시 50$0^{\circ}C$이며 시료의 분석은 photoluminescence (PL)과 scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM)으로 하였다. 적층횟수를 바꾸어 시료를 성장하기 전에 적층횟수를 10회로 고정하고 spacing 두께를 2.8nm, 5.6nm, 11.2nm로 바꾸어 성장하여 PL 특성을 관찰하여본 결과 spacing이 2.8nm인 경우 수직적으로 정렬된 양자점 간에 coupling이 매우 커서 single layer QD의 PL peak에 비해 약 100nm 정도 파장이 증가하였고, spacing의 두께가 11.2nm 일 경우는 single layer QD와 거의 같은 파장의 빛을 방출하여 중첩이 거의 일어나지 않지만 두꺼운 spacing때문에 PL세기가 감소하였다. 한편, 적층회수에 따른 광학적 특성을 PL로 조사하여 본 결과 peak 파장은 적층횟수가 1회에서 3회로 증가했을 때는 blue shift 하다가 이후 적층이 증가함에 따라 red shift 하였다. 그리고 10층 이상의 적층에서는 excited state에서 기인된 peak이 검출되었다. 이렇나 원인은 적층수가 증가함에 따라 carrier life time이 증가하여 exciter state에 carrier가 존재할 확률이 증가하기 때문으로 생각된다. 또한 PL 세기가 다소 증가하다가 10층 이상의 경우는 다시 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 반치폭도 3층과 6층에서 가장 적은 값을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 결함생성과 관련하여 STEM 분석으로 해석되어질 수 있는데 6층 적층시는 양자점이 수직적으로 정렬되어 잘 형성됨을 관찰할 수 있었고 적층에 따른 크기 변화도 거의 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 10층 15층 적층시 몇가지 결함이 형성됨을 볼수 있었고 양자점의 정렬도 완전하게 이루어지지 않음을 볼 수 있었다. 그러므로 수직적층된 InAs 양자점의 광학적 특성은 성장조건에 따른 결함생성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며 상세한 논의가 이루어질 것이다.

Considering the current construction technology and research status of deep repository tunnels for radioactive waste disposal, it is inevitable to use cementitious materials in spite of serious concern about their long-term environmental stability. Thus, it is an emerging task to develop low pH cementitious materials. This study reviews the state of the technology on low pH cements developed in Sweden, Switzerland, France, and Japan as well as in Finland which is constructing a real deep repository site for high-level radioactive waste disposal. Considering the physical and chemical stability of bentonite which acts as a buffer material, a low pH cement limits to $pH{\leq}11$ and pozzolan-type admixtures are used to lower the pH of cement. To attain this pH requirement, silica fume, which is one of the most promising admixtures, should occupy at least 40 wt% of total dry materials in cement and the Ca/Si ratio should be maintained below 0.8 in cement. Additionally, selective super-plasticizer needs to be used because a high amount of water is demanded from the use of a large amount of silica fume.

In 3GPP2 standard, MIP is used and a PDSN performs the function of FA to support macro mobility. When a MS is roaming from a PDSN area to another, the mobility supported is called macro mobility, while it is called micro mobility when a MS is roaming from a RN area to another in a PDSN area. Since a PDSN performs the function of FA in 3GPP2 standard, it is possible to support mobility but its mechanism is actually for supporting macro mobility, not for micro mobility, thus it is weak in processing fast and seamless handoff to support micro mobility. In this paper, we suggest the seamless handoff algorithm barred on multicast group mechanism to support micro mobility. Depending on the moving direction and velocity of a MS, the suggested algorithm constructs a multicast group of RNs on the forecasted MS's moving path, and maximally delays RNs'joining to a multicast group to increase the network efficiency. Moreover, to resolve the buffer overhead problem of the existent multicast scheme, the algorithm suggests that each RN buffers data only after the forecasted handoff time. To prove deadlock freeness and liveness of the algorithm. we use state transition diagrams, a Petri-net modeling and its reachability tree. Then, we evaluate the performance by simulation.
