The circulation of unwholesome information such as obscene and violent information is gradually increasing based on the rapid expansion of information communications infrastructure. Those kinds of information are harmful to the adolescents and even cause social problems so that active countermeasure is requited. In order to cope with the spread of unwholesome information, appropriate regulating methods are absolutely in need by establishing or revising information communications-related laws. In this paper, we had analyzed domestic and foreign programs with existing harmful information blocking method, and then designed and implemented a selective blocking program based on Platform for Internet Contents Selection(PICS) by using selective blocking technology based on Internet contents rating system. We also proposed a compromised rating system blocking method that consists of selective filtering function by age and the popular blocking list. The proposed system has advantages in that there would be no increase in network load resulting from blocking list update and inquiry, it is possible to perform active selective filtering considering user's age, and it may introduce self-imposed rating.

The purpose of this study is to compare and contrast the amount of overseas construction orders of South Korea and China by using various time series models that measure the overseas construction orders. Based on the analysis we propose better specification (model selection) with much more predictive power and prove the universality of the model developed by applying our findings with respect to the prediction power of overseas construction orders from other countries viewpoints (verification of generalization). The input variables include Dubai crude oil and exchange rates by country from 1981 to 2019. The VAR model is proposed based on the prediction power test, with respect to MAPE, RMSE, and MAE between the estimates and actual measurements from 2016 to 2019. We also conclude the results of the prediction of overseas construction orders time series of China are again consistent with the actual numbers. These analyses suggest the possibility of developing a comprehensive model that predict the potential construction orders of other countries.

In this review, we describe the absorption rates (Caco-2 cell permeability) and hepatic/plasma pharmacokinetics of 53 diverse chemicals estimated by modeling virtual oral administration in rats. To ensure that a broad range of chemical structures is present among the selected substances, the properties described by 196 chemical descriptors in a chemoinformatics tool were calculated for 50,000 randomly selected molecules in the original chemical space. To allow visualization, the resulting chemical space was projected onto a two-dimensional plane using generative topographic mapping. The calculated absorbance rates of the chemicals based on cell permeability studies were found to be inversely correlated to the no-observed-effect levels for hepatoxicity after oral administration, as obtained from the Hazard Evaluation Support System Integrated Platform in Japan (r = -0.88, p < 0.01, n = 27). The maximum plasma concentrations and the areas under the concentration-time curves (AUC) of a varied selection of chemicals were estimated using two different methods: simple one-compartment models (i.e., high-throughput toxicokinetic models) and simplified physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling consisting of chemical receptor (gut), metabolizing (liver), and central (main) compartments. The results obtained from the two methods were consistent. Although the maximum concentrations and AUC values of the 53 chemicals roughly correlated in the liver and plasma, inconsistencies were apparent between empirically measured concentrations and the PBPK-modeled levels. The lowest-observed-effect levels and the virtual hepatic AUC values obtained using PBPK models were inversely correlated (r = -0.78, p < 0.05, n = 7). The present simplified PBPK models could estimate the relationships between hepatic/plasma concentrations and oral doses of general chemicals using both forward and reverse dosimetry. These methods are therefore valuable for estimating hepatotoxicity.

최근 기상 이변으로 인해 홍수, 가뭄 등과 같은 수재해가 빈번히 발생되고 있다. 이에 수재해예방 등의 안전 기술과 관련된 관심이 증가되고 있다. 수재해 예방을 위해서는 먼저 홍수, 가뭄 등과 같은 수재해 감시가 필요하며, 이를 위해 위성, 레이더 등으로 관측된 자료를 활용한 수문인자 정보는 매우 중요하다. 미국 NASA의 LIS(Land Information System)는 위성 및 지상관측 자료를 활용하여 홍수, 가뭄, 기상, 산사태, 농업 등의 정보를 생산할 수 있는 프레임워크이다. LIS는 크게 지표면 모델 및 자료동화를 위한 변수들의 전처리 과정(LDT), 지표면 모델을 활용한 분석 및 자료동화 과정(LDAS) 및 분석된 자료의 검보정(LVT) 과정으로 구성되어 있다. LIS에서 산출 가능한 인자는 Energy Balance, Water Balance, Surface/Subsurface State, Evaporation, Hydrologic, Cold Season Processes, Compared Data, Carbon 등 9개로 분류되며 약 78개의 인자를 산출한다. 홍수, 가뭄 등과 같은 수재해 감시를 위한 수문인자는 강수량, 증발산량, 토양수분, 지표면 온도 등을 비롯한 여러 가지 인자들이 필요하다. LIS는 주로 미국, 캐나다 등 평활한 지역에 활용되어 공간해상도는 약 10km(0.1deg) 이하로 자료를 산출한다. 산악 지형이 대부분인 한국 지형에 적용하기에는 자료의 정확성이 낮아 10km 이상의 공간해상도 자료가 필요하며, 한국형 수재해정보 플랫폼에서 홍수, 가뭄 등의 기초자료로 사용하기 위한 수문인자의 선정이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서 NASA LIS를 통해 산출 가능한 인자를 정리하고 한국형 수재해 정보플랫폼에 활용 가능한 수문인자의 항목을 조사하였다. 홍수, 가뭄 등 수재해 분석에 필요한 기초자료는 강우량, 유출량, 잠재적 증발산량, 식생의 증산량, 토양수분, 표면온도, 알베도 등의 수문인자이며, NASA LIS에서 이와 같은 수문인자 산출이 가능하다. NASA와 국제공동 연구중인 한국형 물순환분석 프레임워크(K-LIS(안)) 개발을 통해 한국 지형에 적합한 홍수 및 가뭄 등의 수재해 감시 평가 예측이 가능할 것이며, K-LIS에서 산출되는 고해상도의 수문인자들을 수재해 정보 웹 포털의 정보 제공 서비스를 통하여 손쉽게 접근 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents a virtual sensor system that is an effective method to test application software of smart sensors. The common way of testing sensor application is to build a test board, connect sensors to the board, and test sensor applications on the board with sensor's measurements as inputs. The problem of testing sensor application software with sensor's measurements as inputs is the restriction of test data. In other words, software testers cannot manipulate test data, because test data is generated by sensors. To solve this problem a virtual sensor system is presented in this paper. The virtual sensor system enables software testers to manipulate measurements of sensors. In the virtual sensor system, generation of virtual sensors comprises three stages - sensor selection, sensor characterization, and determination of output patterns. Sensor's measurements that can be manipulated through the virtual sensor system make the process of testing efficient. To show the usefulness of our virtual sensor system, it is applied to sensor applications in Android platform and the result of experiments is shown.

Component-based Software development(CBSD) is widely used in various area due to its efficiency of time, cost and effort. In the embedded software which has high dependency of platform and can be developed by product family, the efficiency of CBSD is maximized by reuse. These embedded software has various limitations of the resources. Specially, the effective energy consumption is very important in the portable embedded software such as smart phone and tablet PC, because they are operated with limited energy source like a battery. Therefore, energy efficient problem became very important issue in the CBSD. In this paper, we identified characteristics and environment that influence energy consumption of components. Afterward, we defined a component specification language which is consisted to describe energy characteristics of the components. This supposed specification language can be utilized to energy efficient component search and selection.

A lightweight artificial intelligence hardware has made great strides in many application areas. In general, a lightweight artificial intelligence system consist of lightweight artificial intelligence engine and preprocessor including feature selection, generation, extraction, and normalization. In order to achieve optimal performance in broad range of applications, lightweight artificial intelligence system needs to choose a good preprocessing function and set their respective hyper-parameters. This paper proposes a unified framework for a lightweight artificial intelligence system and utilization method for finding models with optimal performance to use on a given dataset. The proposed unified framework can easily generate a model combined with preprocessing functions and lightweight artificial intelligence engine. In performance evaluation using handwritten image dataset and fall detection dataset measured with inertial sensor, the proposed unified framework showed building optimal artificial intelligence models with over 90% test accuracy.
