Not only consumers but also corporations need to use and develop sustainable consumption for environmental preservation these days. This research studied the level of environmental consciousness, knowledge of environmental problems and consumption behavior for environmentally sustainable home electrical goods. This study was conducted by survey method and the sample was 300 housewives aged 20-50 living in Seoul and urban areas in 2003. The consciousness for the environment and seriousness of theenvironmental problems were very high. Nevertheless, the level of consumption behavior for environmentally sustainable goods was lower than the consciousness. Of the total sample, 33% were aware of the ultrasonic-waves-sink, 73% of the non-detergent-wash machine, 50% of the vacuum-without-trash envelope, and only 17% of the micro-oven-zero air power. Over 50% of the sample wanted to buy these environmentally sustainable, home electrical goods, especially working housewives.

The purpose of this study was to (1) establish a Korean adult normative database for phonatory aerodynamic measures obtained with the KayPENTAX Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) Model 6600, (2) investigate the intra-subject reliability of these measures across three testing sessions, and (3) examine the effect of gender on those measures. 170 healthy normal speakers (70 men and 100 women) between the ages 18 and 49 years participated in the study. The PAS protocol of maximum phonation and voicing efficiency were conducted and 25 measures were obtained. All aerodynamic measures taken in this study demonstrated high intra-subject reliability in clinical aspect. There were no significant effect of gender in the measures related to sound pressure and subglottal pressure. However, significant differences for gender were found for phonation time, airflow rate, expiratory volume, aerodynamic power, SPL range, pitch range, mean pitch, aerodynamic resistance, and aerodynamic efficiency. Clinicians should be aware of significant gender effects in some aerodynamic parameters when interpreting the data obtained from PAS.

본 논문에서는 한정된 에너지를 사용하는 애드 혹 네트워크에서 부분적인 경로 수정을 통해 에너지 사용을 분산함으로써 네트워크의 수명을 증가시키는 Local Path Modify Routing (LPMR) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 애드 혹 네트워크에서 노드의 한정된 에너지는 전체 네트워크 수명에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 따라서 최근 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 On-demand 방식의 프로토콜들이 많이 제안되고 있다. 그 중 Power-aware source Routing (PSR)은 에너지의 사용량에 따라 경로를 주기적으로 변경해 줌으로 네트워크의 수명을 늘린다. 하지만 잦은 플러딩으로 인해 라우팅의 오버헤드의 증가와 이 오버헤드로 인한 에너지의 소모가 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 에너지의 사용이 많은 노드를 선별하여 각 노드의 주변 노드 정보를 통해 부분적으로 경로를 변경해 줌으로써 잦은 플러딩 없이 경로를 변경함으로 라우팅 오버헤드가 감소하게 된다. 또한 에너지를 많이 소모하는 노드의 에너지를 분산해 줌으로 각 노드들이 에너지를 고르게 사용함으로 네트워크의 수명도 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 NS-2(Network Simulator-2)를 이용하여 LPMR의 성능을 검증한다.

This paper overviews clock design problems related to the circuit reliability in deep submicron design technology. The topics include the clock polarity assignment problem for reducing peak power/ground noise, clock mesh network design problem for tolerating clock delay variation, electromagnetic interference aware clock optimization problem, adjustable delay buffer allocation and assignment problem to support multiple voltage mode designs, and the state encoding problem for reducing peak current in sequential elements. The last topic belongs to finite state machine (FSM) design and is not directly related to the clock design, but it can be viewed that reducing noise at the sequential elements driven by clock signal is contained in the spectrum of reliable circuit design from the clock source down to sequential elements.

In this Paper, We are going to propose the fire protection system with using CAN(Controller Area Network). The larger, higher and deeper buildings are, the more dangerous people are when fire happens. We are aware of the problems of prior Fire protection system. Therefore, we construct embedded system based on CAN communication that is capable of N:N communication, and build independent Fire protection system.

연결형 dominating set기반의 라우팅 알고리즘에서 잦은 dominating set의 재구성은 루트 손실로 인한 전송 에러를 발생시키기 때문에, 노드의 잔여 전력량과 이동성을 고려하여 게이트웨이 노드를 선택하여야 한다. 또한 같은 지역에 노드가 집중되어 있다면 매체를 공유하는 무선 네트워크의 특성상 병목으로 인한 충돌 및 지연 등이 야기 될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 노드의 잔여 전력량 및 이동성, 이웃 노드수의 가중 가산 값에 비례하여 이웃 구성 통보 메시지 (neighbor set advertisement message)의 브로드캐스팅을 지연시키는 방법을 통해 연결형 dominating set의 재구성을 최소화 하여 신뢰성 있고 효율적인 데이터 전송을 보장하는 새로운 연결형 dominating set 구성 방법을 제안하고 다양한 상황에서의 실험을 통해 그 성능을 비교 평가하였다.

Rapid growth of the IT industry has led to significant energy consumption in the last decade. Data centers swallow an enormous amount of electrical energy and have high operating costs and carbon dioxide excretions. In response to this, the dynamic consolidation of virtual machines (VMs) allows for efficient resource management and reduces power consumption through the live migration of VMs in the hosts. Moreover, each client typically has a service level agreement (SLA), this leads to stipulations in dealing with energy-performance trade-offs, as aggressive consolidation may lead to performance degradation beyond the negotiation. In this paper we propose a heuristic based resource allocation of VM selection and a VM allocation approach that aims to minimize the total energy consumption and operating costs while meeting the client-level SLA. Our experiment results demonstrate significant enhancements in cloud providers' profit and energy savings while improving the SLA at a certain level.

Every bridge node participating in multiple piconets and forming a scatternet should schedule the inter-piconet traffics in an efficient manner. Frequent piconet switching due to short polling intervals for the links of a bridge node leads to considerable time slots loss caused by the guard time and power consumption for transceiving and processing. On the other hand, restrained piconet switching may result in failures of fulfilling QoS (Quality of Service) requirements for some links. Tn this paper, we present a QoS aware inter-piconet scheduling scheme minimizing the piconet switching events within guaranteed QoS requirements. According to simulation results, the proposed scheme is confirmed to have great improvement in throughput and number of switching events over the credit scheme as current inter-piconet scheduling scheme for the scatter mode.

본 논문은 유무선 환경에서 TCP를 이용한 데이터 전송 시 에이젼트를 이용하여 패킷 손실의 원인을 분석, 무선 링크에서 발생한 패킷 손실에 대해서는 혼잡 윈도우 크기를 유지하고, 유선 링크에서 발생한 패킷 손실에 대해서는 지역 재전송을 수행하는 저 전력 전송기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 저 전력 전송기법은 전송 후 WNIC를 저 전력 모드로 전환시킴으로써 WNIC 전력소비를 최소화한다. NS2 시뮬레이션 결과 기존 TCP 보다 무선 링크에서 에러 발생시 67~177(%) 성능향상과 22~44(%) 에너지 감소효과를 보였고, 유선 링크에서 에러 발생시 3~22(%)의 성능 향상과 2~13(%) 에너지 감소 효과를 나타냈다.

In this paper, we focus on the pinwheel task model with a variable voltage processor with d discrete voltage/speed levels. We propose an intra-task DVS algorithm, which constructs a minimum energy schedule for k tasks in O(d+k log k) time We also give an inter-task DVS algorithm with O(d+n log n) time, where n denotes the number of jobs. Previous approaches solve this problem by generating a canonical schedule beforehand and adjusting the tasks' speed in O(dn log n) or O($n^3$) time. However, the length of a canonical schedule depends on the hyper period of those task periods and is of exponential length in general. In our approach, the tasks with arbitrary periods are first transformed into harmonic periods and then profile their key features. Afterward, an optimal discrete voltage schedule can be computed directly from those features.
