A compact triple-band porous electromagnetic bandgap structure-loaded coplanar-waveguide-fed wearable antenna is introduced for applications of wireless body area networks. The porous structure is aimed to create a stopband or bandgap in the electromagnetic spectrum and increase breathability. The holes in the bottom electromagnetic bandgap surface increase the inductance, which in turn increases the bandwidth. The final design resonates at three bands with impedance bandwidths of 264 MHz, 100 MHz, and 153 MHz and maximum gains of 2.18 dBi, 6.75 dBi, and 9.50 dBi at 2.45 GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 5.5 GHz, respectively. In addition, measurements indicate that the proposed design can be deformed up to certain curvature and withstand human tissue loading. Moreover, the specific absorption rate remains within safe levels for humans. Therefore, the proposed antenna can suitably operate in the industrial, scientific, and medical, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX bands for potential application to wireless body area networks.

On-chip caches of graphics processing units (GPUs) have contributed to improved GPU performance by reducing long memory access latency. However, cache efficiency remains low despite the facts that recent GPUs have considerably mitigated the bottleneck problem of L1 data cache. Although the cache miss rate is a reasonable metric for cache efficiency, it is not necessarily proportional to GPU performance. In this study, we introduce a second key determinant to overcome the problem of predicting the performance gains from L1 data cache based on the assumption that miss rate only is not accurate. The proposed technique estimates the benefits of the cache by measuring the balance between cache efficiency and throughput. The throughput of the cache is predicted based on the warp occupancy information in the warp pool. Then, the warp occupancy is used for a second bypass phase when workloads show an ambiguous miss rate. In our proposed architecture, the L1 data cache is turned off for a long period when the warp occupancy is not high. Our two-level bypassing technique can be applied to recent GPU models and improves the performance by 6% on average compared to the architecture without bypassing. Moreover, it outperforms the conventional bottleneck-based bypassing techniques.

Purpose: This study conducted an empirical study to estimate the loss aversion rate of individual investors in the Seoul condominium market. Research design, data and methodology: A survey was conducted with Seoul residents ranging from 30's to 60's with various backgrounds. Descriptive statistical analysis and a paired sample t-test were conducted using SPSS 27.0 statistical package. Results: The results of the t-test showed that Seoul residents are indeed more sensitive to loss than gains, as pointed out in various researches related to behavioral economics. Also, the loss aversion rate associated with KRW 50 million risk was found to be 2.14. Finally, the same question was asked with KRW 100 million risk, doubled associated risk of previous question, using the same scenario, and it's been verified that the loss aversion rate increases as the associated risk or stake increases. The loss aversion rate with double risk is 2.26 which is about 5% higher than the one with KRW 50 million risk. Conclusions: This study can help many groups of people in society who need to establish rewards and punishment policies within any organization. In particular, incorporating human cognitive biases, such as loss aversion can help the South Korean government shape more effective reward and punishment policies when building rewards and punishments using taxes.

본 연구에서는 혁신도시지역과 그 주변지역의 지가 데이터를 바탕으로 혁신도시사업에 따라 토지가격이 어느 시점부터 어느 정도 변동했는지 살펴보았고, 이를 통해 현행 제도가 개발이익의 배제원칙에 잘 부합하지 않음을 밝히는 한편, 현행 제도를 개발이익의 배제원칙에 보다 부합하도록 개선하기 위한 방안들을 모색하였다. 우선 혁신도시지역과 그 주변지역의 지가 데이터를 분석해 보면, 대부분의 혁신도시지역의 지가가 2005년부터 그 주변지역들에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 상승하기 시작하였음을 알 수 있다. 즉, 이 시기부터 혁신도시사업과 관련한 정보가 지가에 반영되기 시작하였다고 볼 수 있는데, 이와 같이 혁신도시사업 관련 정보가 반영된 지가를 바탕으로 실제 보상액을 산정하면 개발이익의 배제원칙과는 괴리가 생기게 된다. 그러나 토지보상법 제70조에 따른 보상액 산정의 기준지가는 2007년 1월 1일 공시된 공시지가이며, 또한 실제로도 이러한 기준을 적용하여 보상이 진행되었다. 즉, 2005년부터 2006년 말까지 개발 정보가 해당 혁신도시 지가에 반영되었음에도 불구하고 이를 배제하기 위한 제도적 장치 및 노력 없이 보상이 진행되었다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 크게 두 가지 방안을 제안하고 있다. 첫째, 토지보상법 제70조 제5항에서 소급적용할 수 있는 공시지가의 한계를 두지 말고, 대신 개발이익이 반영되지 않았다고 판단되는 가장 최근의 공시지가를 기준시가로 적용하도록 변경하는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다. 이렇게 정해진 기준시가를 바탕으로 가격인정시점까지의 통상적인 평균 물가상승률, 평균 지가상승률 등을 바탕으로 보상액을 보정한다면 개발이익 배제의 원칙에 보다 부합할 것이다. 둘째, 개발이익이 지가에 반영되었다고 판단하는 기준을 하위 법령에 명시적으로 포함시킬 필요가 있다. 현행 제도하에서는 수용보상액 산정 시 개발이익 반영 여부에 대한 평가자의 자의적인 해석이 포함될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 본 연구에서의 학술적 연구 결과와 현행 토지보상평가지침(감정평가협회) 등의 기준 등을 참고하여 개발이익 반영 여부를 판단하는 기준을 개선할 필요가 있다.

Purpose: In this single repeated measures study, an examination was done on the effects of dialysate flow rate on dialysis adequacy and fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis. Methods: This study was a prospective single center study in which repeated measures analysis of variance were used to compare Kt/V urea (Kt/V) and urea reduction ratio (URR) as dialysis adequacy measures and level of fatigue at different dialysate flow rates: twice as fast as the participant's own blood flow, 500 mL/min, and 700 mL/min. Thirty-seven hemodialysis patients received all three dialysate flow rates using counterbalancing. Results: The Kt/V ($M{\pm}SD$) was $1.40{\pm}0.25$ at twice the blood flow rate, $1.41{\pm}0.23$ at 500 mL/min, and $1.46{\pm}0.24$ at 700 mL/min. The URR ($M{\pm}SD$) was $68.20{\pm}5.90$ at twice the blood flow rate, $68.67{\pm}5.22$ at 500 mL/min, and $70.11{\pm}5.13$ at 700 mL/min. When dialysate flow rate was increased from twice the blood flow rate to 700 mL/min and from 500 mL/min to 700 mL/ min, Kt/V and URR showed relative gains. There was no difference in fatigue according to dialysate flow rate. Conclusion: Increasing the dialy-sate flow rate to 700 mL/min is associated with a significant increase in dialysis adequacy. Hemodialysis with a dialysate flow rate of 700 mL/min should be considered in selected patients not achieving adequacy despite extended treatment times and optimized blood flow rate.

본 논문에서는 실제 영상과는 다른 특성을 지니는 깊이정보 맵의 효율적인 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 깊이정보 맵은 객체 내부 혹은 배경 부분에서 상당히 완만한 특성을 지니지만, 객체 경계 부분에서는 아주 날카로운 에지 성분이 존재한다는 특징이 있다. 그리고 깊이정보 맵을 비트평면 단위로 분리하였을 때, 비트평면 간 완전일치/반전일치되는 특성이 객체 경계 부분에서 자주 발생한다는 특징이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 객체 경계 부분에서 비트평면의 이진 영상간 일치여부를 적절하게 이용하기 위하여 깊이정보 맵을 비트평면 단위로 분리하여 비트평면 간 적응적 XOR 연산을 이용한 블록 기반 비트평면 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 또한 비트평면 단위 영상 부호화 방법과 DCT 기반 동영상 압축 방법(H.264/AVC)의 장점을 적절하게 이용하기 위하여 블록 단위 비트평면 부호화 방법과 기존의 블록 단위 동영상 부호화 방법을 적응적으로 선택하여 부호화하였다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법이 H.264/AVC보다 BD-PSNR이 0.9 dB ~ 1.5 dB 향상되었고 BD-rate가 11.8 % ~ 20.8 % 감소되었다. 또한 제안하는 방법이 블록 기반 적응적 깊이정보 맵 부호화 방법보다 BD-PSNR이 0.5 dB ~ 0.8 dB 향상되었고 BD-rate가 7.7 % ~ 12.2 % 감소되어 제안하는 방법의 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 복원된 깊이정보 맵을 이용하여 생성된 가상 영상 간의 비교에서 제안하는 방법이 DCT 기반 동영상 압축 방법보다 주관적 화질이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 블록 기반 적응적 깊이정보 맵 부호화 방법과 비교하여 주관적 화질이 비슷하다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we investigate a dynamic spectrum sharing problem for the centralized uplink cognitive radio networks using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We formulate a large-scale joint rate and power allocation as an optimization problem under quality of service constraint for secondary users and interference constraint for primary users. We also suggest admission control to nd a feasible solution to the optimization problem. To implement the resource allocation on a large-scale, we introduce a notion of using the conservative factors $\alpha$ and $\beta$ depending on the outage and violation probabilities. Since estimating instantaneous channel gains is costly and requires high complexity, the proposed algorithm pursues a practical and implementation-friendly resource allocation. Simulation results demonstrate that the large-scale joint rate and power allocation incurs a slight loss in system throughput over the instantaneous one, but it achieves lower complexity with less sensitivity to variations in shadowing statistics.

It has been well established that leaf longevity is linked to the carbon economy of plants. We used this relationship to predict leaf lifetime carbon gains from leaf lifespan, and estimated the gross primary production (GPP) of a young deciduous forest of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) located in central Japan. The light-saturated photosynthetic rates of the leaves were measured repeatedly during the growing season. We used the leaf lifespan to calculate the conversion coefficient from the light-saturated photosynthetic rate into the realized leaf lifetime carbon gain under field conditions. The leaf turnover rate was estimated using litter traps. GPP was estimated as the product of lifetime carbon gain per unit of leaf mass, and the annual leaf turnover rate. The GPP of the forest in 2007 was estimated to be $1.2{\times}10^3gCm^{-2}y^{-1}$, which was within the range of previously reported GPP values of beech forests in Japan, and was close to the GPP of a European beech forest, as estimated by eddy flux measurements.

Stars form through the gravitational collapse of molecular clouds. However, the rate at which a star gains most of its mass and the physics that drives the main phase of stellar growth is still unclear. The typical luminosity of observed protostars is smaller than what expected from the Shu's inside-out collapse model, which predicts a constant mass accretion rate. The episodic accretion model has been suggested as a solution of this luminosity problem. The JCMT Transient survey is a long term monitoring program using JCMT/SCUBA-2 to detect accretion variability of protostars in the eight nearby star-forming regions. Recently, we found a rise of the 850 micron flux at a clump in the Serpens main region at the rate of ~17% relative to the mean flux over previous observations. The submm clump is associated with a class I protostar, EC53, which has been reported as a binary system with a periodic variability. In this talk, we will provide a brief overview of the JCMT Transient Survey project, present the detection of the variable source, and discuss about follow-up observations.

The lightness of components required on marine and shipbuilding industry is requiring high strength of components. In particular, fatigue failure phenomena, which happen in metal, bring on danger in human life and property. Therefore, antifatigue failure technology takes an important part on current industries. In this study, it is investigated about endurance and fatigue crack propagation rate of according to welding methods such as SMAW, FCAW and SAW commonly used for welding structures in present. Endurance limits carried out highly in the order of SMAW, FCAW, SAW and fatigue crack propagation rate out lowly in the order of SMAW, FCAW, SAW. By these results, it is needed to use SMAW welding method for welding structures with small welding capacity and FCAW, SAW methods for large welding structures after consideration about economic gains and operation efficiency of welding. Fatigue crack propagation rate is more affected by strength of welding materials than endurance limit of welding materials according to welding methods.
