Studies on the feeding and resting behavior of Culex pipiens pallens, a possible vector of Japanese encephalitis in Korea, was carried out at Kobu-Ri, Kobu-Myon, Chongup Kun. Cholla Pukdo in 1967. 1. Indoor and outdoor human biting collections showed that 47.3 per cent Culex pipiens pallens were collected indoors and 52.7 per cent outdoors. 2.Feeding occurred throughout the night from dusk to dawn, with the peak period from 23:00-24:00 hours outside the house and from 24:00-01:00 hours inside. 3. Culex pipiens pallens females preferred man for their blood feeding to domestic animals. The results of human and cow biting collections showed that the feeding ratio between man and cow was 2.1 to 1. As to the feeding preference to the domestic animals, the ratio among cow, pig and horse was 7.3 to 5.1 to 5.4 4. Daytime resting collections showed that large numbers of Culex pipiens pallens females rest inside the house, especially in the bed room and the chicken pen. As temperatures increased, fewer mosquitoes resting indoors and more mosquitoes rest ing outdoors were caught. By means of sweep-net collections at outdoors resting places, a small number of Culex pipiens pallens mosquitoes were caught in such places as grass fields, vegetable fields, barley fields, bean fields, culverts, bomb shelters, and so on. A comparison between number of mosquitoes collected resting during the day in bedrooms and verandahs with resting collections in the same places at night showed that more mosquitoes were present at night. It was observed that the majority of the unfed females rested before feeding at night.

본 논문은 3D 위치 정보를 산출하기 위한 기압고도계 및 기준국을 이용한 절대 고도 측정 정확도 향상에 관한 연구이다. GPS와 같은 위성 항법 시스템이 신뢰성이 있는 절대 고도를 제공하지 못하는 점과 기압 고도계가 변화하는 대기압의 특성상 절대 고도 정보를 제공하지 못한다는 문제점을 인식하고, 이를 개선하기 위해 새로운 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법을 검증하기 위해 RTK를 활용한 기준국을 지정하고 시중에 판매하는 압력 센서 및 EVK 단말기를 활용하였으며, 실내 외에서의 사람의 이동으로 인한 고도 변화 실험과 차량을 이용한 이동 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 이 논문의 결과는 기준국을 이용하는 기존의 2D 측위 시스템을 간단히 3D 측위 시스템으로 확장할 수 있는 저가 솔루션을 제공할 수 있음을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 버려지거나 없어진 객체를 검출하는 시스템에 대해 연구하였다. 전경과 배경을 분리한 다음, 정적인 영역에 대한 검출을 통하여 방치되거나 제거된 물체를 검출하였다. 정적인 영역에 대한 검출 방법을 제안하고 히스토그램의 비교를 통해 방치, 제거 정보를 추출하였다. 제안된 방법은 CCTV 카메라의 입력 영상에 대하여 PC 및 DSP 칩을 이용하여 실시간 처리를 하였으며 DSP칩을 활용하였기 때문에 수정이 용이하다. 제안된 시스템에 대한 성능을 검증하기 위해 저, 중, 고의 복잡도에 따라 실험하였으며, 신뢰성 있는 검증을 위해 각 10회의 반복 수행을 하였다. 실험 결과, 복잡도가 낮거나 보통인 경우는 높은 객체 변화 검출률을 보였으며 매우 혼잡한 경우에는 환경적인 요인의 이유로 검출률이 상대적으로 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 원인은 복잡도가 높아짐에 따라 검출률이 낮은 것은 이동하는 객체들로 인해 방치된 객체의 폐색이 반복되기 때문이었다. 향후 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해 매우 복잡한 환경에서의 폐색에 대한 추가적인 연구와 강건한 정적 영역의 판단 방법에 대해 연구할 것이다.

As energy costs increase, more people has become interested on energy efficiency and savings in residential buildings. The two main subjects related to energy in residential buildings are insulation and condensation. There are two approaches to prevent condensation; increasing air tightness and maintaining the temperature inside of the wall structure over the dew point, which is in turn related to insulation. Even though the Korean government has highlighted the importance of energy efficiency for residential housings, and in spite of the customers' demands, the timber construction industry is still using conventional light-frame construction without even trying to improve energy efficiency. In this study, various types and combinations of wall structures were tested under cold outdoor and warm indoor temperatures to analyse the temperature gradients and to determine the possible sites of condensation in the wall structures. In addition to the experimental tests, three theoretical models were developed and their estimations of temperature change through the wall structure were compared with the actual measurements to evaluate accuracy of the models. The results of the three models agree relatively well with the experimental values, indicating that they can be used to estimate temperature changes in wall structures. The theoretical analysis of different insulation layers' combinations show that condensation may occur within the mid-layer in the conventional light-frame wall structures for any combination of inner-, mid-, and outer-layers of insulation. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of an inner and outer insulation layer or increasing the thickness of insulation may not be adequate to prevent condensation in the wall structure without preventing penetration of warm moist air into the wall structure.

This study is to suggest the improving methods for rural community centers by analysis of 30 community centers in Samnangjin-eup, Miryang city, Gyeongnam. To fulfill this purpose, the facilities, usable condition and management system were examined. The user needs and level of satisfaction were also investigated through the interviews with 858 citizens. The average size of the centers is $96m^2$, and 73% of them are one-story buildings. Women use the community center more frequently than men in ratio of 6:4. 43.4% of interviewees visit the center 1 or 2 times a month, but on the other hand 27.4% of them use the center almost every day. Recess is surely the main purpose, and health care and community meeting are next two reasons. 67.8% and 72.4% of them are not satisfied with the inside and outside of the community center respectively. The interview results demonstrate that the most important issue is the lack of facilities. To improve the community centers in Samnangjin-eup, first of all, various kinds of indoor and outdoor facilities must be equipped. Secondly, considering the center is the core of rural community life, the qualitative improvement in accommodation is also needed as well as facility diversification. The efficiency of space utilization is another issue. A small piece of land or abandoned space must be utilized. Moreover, it is very critical that the users are mostly seniors and elders, so improvements of facilities will be executed in terms of safety and convenience. Finally, administrative and financial support should be made for the people, so as to maintain the the rural community center on their own.

최근 개정된 초고층건물 특별법에서는 피난안전구역을 최소 30개층 마다 설정함과 동시에 계단실을 수직구획 하도록 규정하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중앙코아 방식의 80층 초고층건물 계단실 수직구획이 연돌효과 및 계단실 급기가압 성능에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션 해석을 통해 분석하였다. 해석결과, 계단실 수직구획이 없는 경우 연돌효과로 인해 최대 차압 250 Pa 이상이 발생하였으며, 계단실만 수직구획한 경우에는 10 Pa 정도만 감소하였으나 계단실과 승강기의 승강로를 동시에 수직구획한 경우 최대차압이 약 125 Pa로 낮아져 연돌효과가 약 50 % 감소하였다. 또한, 계단실을 급기가압 할 경우 계단실온도가 실내온도와 외기온도 차이의 약 1/2일 때가 소요급기풍량 측면에서 가장 효율적인 것으로 예측되었다.

Purpose: This study aimed at developing an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the optimal start moment of the setback temperature during the normal occupied period of a building. Method: For achieving this objective, three major steps were conducted: the development of an initial ANN model, optimization of the initial model, and performance tests of the optimized model. The development and performance testing of the ANN model were conducted through numerical simulation methods using transient systems simulation (TRNSYS) and matrix laboratory (MATLAB) software. Result: The results analysis in the development and test processes revealed that the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and temperature difference from the setback temperature presented strong relationship with the optimal start moment of the setback temperature; thus, these variables were used as input neurons in the ANN model. The optimal values for the number of hidden layers, number of hidden neurons, learning rate, and moment were found to be 4, 9, 0.6, and 0.9, respectively, and these values were applied to the optimized ANN model. The optimized model proved its prediction accuracy with the very storing statistical correlation between the predicted values from the ANN model and the simulated values in the TRNSYS model. Thus, the optimized model showed its potential to be applied in the control algorithm.

The GMM is a conventional approach which has been recently applied in many face recognition studies. However, the question about how to deal with illumination changes while ensuring high performance is still a challenge, especially with real-world databases. In this paper, we propose a Visual Observation Confidence (VOC) measure for robust face recognition for illumination changes. Our VOC value is a combined confidence value of three measurements: Flatness Measure (FM), Centrality Measure (CM), and Illumination Normality Measure (IM). While FM measures the discrimination ability of one face, IM represents the degree of illumination impact on that face. In addition, we introduce CM as a centrality measure to help FM to reduce some of the errors from unnecessary areas such as the hair, neck or background. The VOC then accompanies the feature vectors in the EM process to estimate the optimal models by modified-GMM training. In the experiments, we introduce a real-world database, called KoFace, besides applying some public databases such as the Yale and the ORL database. The KoFace database is composed of 106 face subjects under diverse illumination effects including shadows and highlights. The results show that our proposed approach gives a higher Face Recognition Rate (FRR) than the GMM baseline for indoor and outdoor datasets in the real-world KoFace database (94% and 85%, respectively) and in ORL, Yale databases (97% and 100% respectively).
