Skyline queries have recently received considerable attention in the searching services. The skyline contains interesting objects that are not dominated by any other objects on all dimensions. Many related works have processed a skyline on static data or on moving objects in Euclidean space. However, this paper assumes that the point of a skyline query continuously moves in road networks. We propose a new method that efficiently processes continuous skyline queries in road networks through pre-computed shortest range data of objects. Our experiments show that the proposed method is about 100 times faster than previous methods in terms of query processing time.

최근에 이동통신기술의 발전과 무선인터넷 사용자의 급증 및 휴대 단말기 장치의 성능 향상으로 인하여 사용자의 위치 정보를 활용하여 부가 정보 서비스를 받을 수 있는 위치기반서비스(LBS Location Based Service)에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 위치기반 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 사용자의 위치정보를 관리하는 이동체 데이터베이스가 필수적으로 요구된다. 친구 찾기 서비스와 같은 초기 단계의 LBS 서비스에서는 현재위치만을 가지고 서비스할 수 있지만, 데이터 마이닝이나 CRM등과 같이 연동된 고급 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 시시각각 변화는 사용자의 현재 위치정보뿐 아니라 과거위치정보를 관리할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이동체 데이터 베이스의 구성요소 중 대용량의 위치정보를 저장 및 검색하기 위한 분산 관리 시스템을 설계하고자 한다. 분산 관리 시스템은 현재위치 관리 컴포넌트와 과거위치 관리 컴포넌트, 분산위치관리 컴포넌트로 구성된다. 현재 위치 관리 컴포넌트와 과거위치 관리 컴포넌트는 공간색인을 제공하므로 데이터 검색의 성능을 향상시키고, 분산위치 관리 컴포넌트는 대용량의 데이터를 다양한 데이터베이스에 분산 저장 및 검색하므로 과부하를 조절하고 대용량의 위치정보를 효율적으로 관리하고자 한다.

Active ingredients have been around in cosmetics for a long time but have they really resulted in active cosmetic products\ulcorner In order to achieve this, the right active needs to be delivered to the right location at the right concentration for the correct period of time. And the extent (and therefore the concentration) of this delivery depends on the formulation. From a rather theoretical approach based on the polarity of the active ingredient, the stratum corneum and the oil phase, the Relative Polarity Index was established that enables the selection of a suitable emollient for ensuring skin penetration of the active ingredient. Practical examples subsequently show the validity of this approach that demonstrates that one can regulate the delivery of an active molecule (and therefore the efficacy of a cosmetic formulation) by selection and control of the emollient system. Cosmetic formulations are generally quite complex mixtures and subsequent experiments using different emulsifier systems indicated that this component of a cosmetic formulation could also have an impact on steering the active ingredient to the right layer of the skin, although it is too early to be able to derive general rules from this.

In this study, a smartphone application for reporting trees infected with pine wilt disease was developed to prevent the spread of the disease by the disease-carrying pests/insects, which is most damning to the country's pine trees, South Korea's representative tree species, and to ensure the sustained maintenance of the country's forest trees. Such application for handling information on the infected pine trees has three key components, as shown below. (1) Explanation of the pine wilt disease pests/insects, (2) Image capture of the infected pine tree, and transmission of its GPS location, (3) Inquiry on the neighboring area infected with pine wilt disease. It is possible to promptly provide the spatial information of the areas infected with pine wilt disease by developing a dedicated application for reporting trees infected with the disease based on GPS information. If users participate actively in the application and integration with the forest service application is to be realized, the application would be more actively utilized.

Smart surveillance system obtains the positional information of users using GPS receivers embedded in smart devices, and provide them with services of tracking, monitoring, and protecting by controlling CCTVs nearby them. In order to apply and operate these systems to new environment, the overall setup process of the system is increased proportionally to the number of CCTVs. Therefore if there is a large number of CCTVs, the amount of time required during the setup process is very lengthy, and the operation of them becomes inoperable. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce these setting process. As the result of applying and simulation the proposed method, the setup method is simple, and as the CCTV increases, it consumes less time the previous system, and the system can be operated during setup.

We have been developed an intelligent mobile robot with an artificial olfactory function to recognize odours and to track odour source location. This mobile robot also has ben installed an engine for speech recognition and synthesis and is controlled by wireless communication. An artificial olfactory system based on array of 7 gas sensors has been installed in the mobile robot for odour recognition, and 11 gas sensors also are located in the obttom of robot to track odour sources. 3 optical sensors are also in cluded in the intelligent mobile robot, which is driven by 2 D. C. motors, for clash avoidance in a way of direction toward an odour source. Throughout the experimental trails, it is confirmed that the intelligent mobile robot is capable of not only the odour recognition using artificial neural network algorithm, but also the tracking odour source using the step-by-step approach method. The preliminary results are promising that intelligent mobile robot, which has been developed, is applicable to service robot system for environmental monitoring, localization of odour source, odour tracking of hazardous areas etc.

Operating experience of steam generators has shown that cracks of various morphology frequently occur in the steam generator tubes. These cracked tubes can stay in service if it is proved that the tubes have sufficient safety margin to preclude the risk of burst and leak. Therefore, integrity assessment using exact limit load solutions is very important for safe operation of the steam generators. This paper provides global and local limit load solutions for surface cracks in the steam generator tubes. Such solutions are developed based on three-dimensional (3-D) finite element analyses assuming elastic-perfectly plastic material behavior. For the crack location, both axial and circumferential surface cracks, and for each case, both external and internal cracks are considered. The resulting global and local limit load solutions are given in polynomial forms, and thus can be simply used in practical integrity assessment of the steam generator tubes.

Wireless mesh networks enlarge the wireless coverage area by interconnecting relatively stationary wireless routers (mesh routers). As wireless mesh networks are envisioned to provide high-bandwidth broadband Internet service to a large community of users, the Internet gateway, which acts as a central point of Internet attachment for the mesh networks, is likely to suffer heavily from the scramble for shared wireless resources because of aggregated traffic toward the Internet. It causes performance decrement on end-to-end transmissions. We propose a scheme to balance the load in a mesh network based on link quality variation to different Internet gateways. Moreover, under the mesh coverage, mobile nodes can move around and connect to nearby mesh routers while still keeping the connections to the Internet through the best gateway in terms of link quality. In this structure, gateways perform the balancing procedure through wired links. Information about gateways and mobile node's location is distributed appropriately so that every mesh router can quickly recognize the best gateway as well as the positions of mobile nodes. This distributed information assists mobile nodes to perform fast handoff. Significant benefits are shown by the performance analysis.

In this paper, we propose AMV scheme which supports k-anonymization by using vectors for mobile clients. AMV can produces the minimal cloaking area using motion vector information of users (clients). The main reason for minimizing cloaking area is a server has to send the object information to all users who request the spatial queries. The experimental results show that the proposed AMV has superior performance over existing methods.

Ecotourism refers to tourism that senses and observes superior natural resources, cultural resources and history around. Today, as the current leisure patterns of the people change, a healing trip to find nature is being activated. In this paper, we propose a platform design and construction for providing ecotourism information. In the proposed platform, first, the image file of the eco-tourism objects taken every day from the image capture device is collected, converted into a video, uploaded to the server, then, when the tourist arrives at the eco-tourism object, It is designed to be able to watch.
