This paper discusses a new software package, DEM_Comp, developed for effectively compressing large digital elevation model (DEM) data sets based on Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression and Huffman coding. DEM_Comp was developed using the $C^{++}$ language running on a Windows-series operating system. DEM_Comp was also tested on various test sites with different territorial attributes, and the results were evaluated. Recently, a high-resolution version of the DEM has been obtained using new equipment and the related technologies of LiDAR (LIght Detection And Radar) and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). DEM compression is useful because it helps reduce the disk space or transmission bandwidth. Generally, data compression is divided into two processes: i) analyzing the relationships in the data and ii) deciding on the compression and storage methods. DEM_Comp was developed using a three-step compression algorithm applying a DEM with a regular grid, Lempel-Ziv compression, and Huffman coding. When pre-processing alone was used on high- and low-relief terrain, the efficiency was approximately 83%, but after completing all three steps of the algorithm, this increased to 97%. Compared with general commercial compression software, these results show approximately 14% better performance. DEM_Comp as developed in this research features a more efficient way of distributing, storing, and managing large high-resolution DEMs.

The study objective was to compare the interior greening volume ratios for the change in concentration of fine particle, temperature and relative humidity, and to identify the level of interior landscape volume ratio as a suitable condition to achieve the desired indoor properties. Plants were moved into a room (88m3) randomly. After moving, the volume ratio of the interior greening level was set at 0%, 1%, 2% and 3%. The concentration of fine particles was measured with a mini-volume portable air sampler (Air Metrics, USA). The temperature and relative humidity were recorded with a digital sensor (Kiwi-LTH, USA) during the experiment under different volume ratios with three replications. 1. The results of the change in concentration of the fine particles revealed a trend towards an increased volume ratio of interior greening with decreasing concentration of fine particles, compared to non-plants (0%). The concentration of fine particles at volume ratios of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% was 55ug/$m^3$, 233ug/$m^3$, 40ug/$m^3$ and 30ug/$m^3$, respectively. 2. The change in temperature, at volume ratios of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% was $21.2^{\circ}C$, $17.4^{\circ}C$, $16.7^{\circ}C$ and $18.9^{\circ}C$, respectively, in near interior greening, and $22.1^{\circ}C$, $18.7^{\circ}C$, $18.4^{\circ}C$ and $20.5^{\circ}C$ respectively, at a distance of 3m from the interior greening. These study results suggested that temperature was affected by volume ratio and distance from the interior greening. 3. The relative humidity, at volume ratios of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% was 34.2%, 32.5%, 36.7%, and 46.9%, respectively, in near interior greening, and 31.2%, 26.9%, 31.4% and 38.3%, respectively, at a distance of 3m from the interior greening. With increasing volume ratio of interior landscape, there were positive and significant results between the distance difference and the relative humidity more than temperature.

Since the advent of the internet as representative of the development of information communication technology (ICT), information transfer forms have changed rapidly these days. In the new techno-economic paradigms, I would ultimately consider how spatial structures of a knowledge-based service industry have been altered dynamically. To delve into this background, this study conducts an empirical case study of the internet advertising industry, particularly, among the whole advertising industry. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to identify dynamic characteristics of spatial networks among actors for knowledge creation in Korea's internet advertising industry. In addition, it also is to analyze the formative elements of spatial networks which would have an influence on constructing the space of new economic activities. There are multilateral approaches. This research is classified into types of actors such as inter-firm, intra-firm, and firm-customer, and categorized according to spatial ranges such as local, regional, global levels. In the meanwhile, formative factors of the spatial networks could draw a conclusion from two aspects: inter-firm networks in the process of business in the internet advertising industry, and individual networks in the nonoccupational aspect. Accordingly, the results of this study suggest that actors' networks of two perspectives would make mutually complementary relationships and create new relational spaces in the digital economy.

Two frequency-reconfigurable antennas have been designed and combined in a space with limited volume, i.e., 40mm ${\times}$ 20mm ${\times}$ 6mm. Each antenna can be reconfigured to operate at different frequency bands depending on the state of an embedded switch, which is implemented using a PIN diode. The first antenna can be switched between 0.82GHz ${\sim}$ 0.96GHz band (GSM/ CDMA) and 1.7GHz ${\sim}$ 2.17GHz band (DCS/ PCS/ WCDMA), which are cellular bands. The second antenna can be switched between 3.4GHz ${\sim}$ 3.6GHz band (mWiMax) and 2.3GHz ${\sim}$ 2.5GHz, 5.15GHz ${\sim}$ 5.35GHz bands (WiBro/ WLAN 11a/b/g/n), which are connectivity bands. The proposed combined antenna operates both over cellular bands and connectivity bands concurrently. The choice of the operation bands is made independently by the states of the two switches.

Layered-earth Green's functions in electormagnetic (EM) surveys play a key role in modeling the response of exploration targets. They are computed through the Hankel transforms of analytic kernels. Computational precision depends upon the choice of algebraically equivalent forms by which these kemels are expressed. Since three-dimensional (3D) modeling can require a huge number of Green's function evaluations, total computational time can be influenced by computational time for the Hankel transform evaluations. Linear digital filters have proven to be a fast and accurate method of computing these Hankel transforms. In EM modeling for 3D inversion, electric fields are generally evaluated by the secondary field formulation to avoid the singularity problem. In this study, three components of electric fields for five different sources on the surface of homogeneous half-space were derived as primary field solutions. Moreover, reflection coefficients in TE and TM modes were produced to calculate EM responses accurately for a two-layered model having a sea layer. Accurate primary fields should substantially improve accuracy and decrease computation times for Green's function-based problems like MT problems and marine EM surveys.

Display characterization, deriving the relationship between digital input values and the corresponding CIEXYZ tri-stimulus values, is important to reproduce the accurate color in color management system. The relationship can be estimated from the nine channel TRCs(tone response curves) and the result of this characterization method is better than that of using three channel TRCs. However, the inverse display characterization using nine channel TRCs cannot be directly inverted because the CIEXYZ values corresponding to each of RGB values are inseparable. Accordingly, inverse display characterization is usually implemented by the 3D-LUT (look-up table) method. Although the result of 3B-LUT is accurate, creating the 3D-LUT requires a lot of memory space and considerable amount of measurements. Therefore the inverse characterization method is proposed based on the modeling of channel-dependent values and nine channel inverse process based on the GOG(gain, offset gamma) model. The proposed method enhances the accuracy of display characterization and reduces the complexity and the number of measurements data required for accuracy in 3-D LUT.

For digital data compression, the quantization is the main part of the lossy source coding. In order to improve the performance of quantization, the vector quantizer(VQ) can be employed. The encoding complexity, however, exponentially increases as the vector dimension or bit rate gets large. Much research has been conducted to alleviate such problems of VQ. Especially for high bit rates, a constrained VQ, which is called the sample-adaptive product quantizer(SAPQ), has been proposed for reducing the hugh encoding complexity of regular VQs. SAPQ has very similar structure as to the product VQ(PQ). However, the quantizer performance can be better than the PQ case. Further, the encoding complexity and the memory requirement for the codebooks are lower than the regular full-search VQ case. Among SAPQs, 1-SAPQ has a simple quantizer structure, where each product codebook is symmetric with respect to the diagonal line in the underlying vector space. It is known that 1-SAPQ shows a good performance for i.i.d. sources. In this paper, a study on designing 1-SAPQ for the first-order Markov process. For an efficient design of 1-SAPQ, an algorithm for the initial codebook is proposed, and through the numerical analysis it is shown that 1-SAPQ shows better quantizer distortion than the VQ case, of which encoding complexity is similar to that of 1-SAPQ, and shows distortions, which are close to that of the DPCM(differential pulse coded modulation) scheme with the Lloyd-Max quantizer.

This paper addresses the efficient facility placements to adopt a super WiFi network, taking significant considerations as the next generation 'information highway'. Since the super WiFi has a wider geographic coverage by utilizing the white spaces of TV broadcasting which are empty and available frequencies for the wireless communications, it would play an important role in releasing digital divide of the internet access for low populated or mountainous areas. The purpose of this paper is to explore systematic and efficient spatial plans for the super WiFi. For doing this, we applied optimal location covering models to Gurye-gun, Jeonlanamdo. From the application, we presented optimal locations for super WiFi facilities and significant analytical results, such as the tradeoff between the number of facilities and coverage and marginal coverage for establishing super WiFi network. The results of this research would be usefully utilized for decision makers who wish to adopt a super WiFi, to extend wireless networks in a city or build a regional infrastructure of wireless facilities.
