In resent years, Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) is being actively developed. Typically, OWF has a better wind resource than onshore one, but also have a very high investment cost and maintenance cost. Furthermore, due to a difficulty of geographical access, OWF can be affected by the failure for a longer time. As the result, OWF has a higher loss cost. Therefore, a reliability evaluation should be performed more carefully at OWF planning stage. In this paper, a methodology for the reliability evaluation on inner grid is suggested. Inner grid connects wind turbines via submarine cables and transfers power to offshore substation. According to location of the faulted cable under layouts of inner grid, the transfer ability of inner grid is influenced. In order to indicate the transfer ability of inner grid, several indices are introduced such as PNDR, EEND and EENDC. To demonstrate the methodology described in this paper, diversity case studies were performed.

The QRS complex in ECG analysis is possible to obtain much information that is helpful for diagnosing different types of cardiovascular disease. This paper presents the preprocessor method to detect R-peak, RR interval, and HRV in wireless sensor node. The derivative of the electrocardiogram is efficiency of preprocessing method for resource hungry wireless sensor node with low computation. We have implemented R-peak and RR interval detection application based on dECG for wireless sensor node. The sensor node only transfers meaning parameter of ECG. Thus, implementation of sensor node can save power, reduce traffic, and eliminate congestion in a WSN.

Video stream invoke a variety of traffic with the structure of compression algorithm and image complexity. Thus, it is difficult to allocate the resource on the both sides of sender and receiver, and playout on the Internet such as a packet switched network. Thus, in this paper we proposed video stream smoothing using multistream for the effective transmission of video stream. This method specifies the type of LDU(logical data unit) according to the type of original stream, and then makes a large number of streams as a fixed size, and transfers them. So, the proposed method can reduce the buffering time which occurs during the process of the smoothing and prefetch be robust to the jitter on network, as well. Consequently, it has the effective transmission characteristics of fully utilizing the clients bandwidth.

Many of the world's large ecosystems are severely stressed due to population growth, water quality and quantity problems, vulnerability to flood and drought, and the loss of native species and cultural resources. Consequences of climate change further increase uncertainties about the future. These major societal challenges must be addressed through innovations in governance, policy, and ways of implementing management strategies. Science and engineering play a critical role in helping define possible alternative futures that could be achieved and the possible consequences to economic development, quality of life, and sustainability of ecosystem services. Science has advanced rapidly during the past decade with the emergence of science communities coalescing around 'Grand Challenges' and the maturation of how these communities function has resulted in large interdisciplinary research networks. An example is the River Experiment Center of KICT that engages researchers from throughout Korea and the world. This trend has been complemented by major advances in sensor technologies and data synthesis to accelerate knowledge discovery. These factors combine to allow scientific debate to occur in a more open and transparent manner. The availability of information and improved communication of scientific and engineering issues is raising the level of dialogue at the science-policy interface. However, severe challenges persist since scientific discovery does not occur on the same timeframe as management actions, policy decisions or at the pace sometimes expected by elected officials. Common challenges include the need to make decisions in the face of considerable uncertainty, ensuring research results are actionable and preventing science being used by special interests to delay or obsfucate decisions. These challenges are explored in the context of examples from the United States, including the California Bay-Delta system. California transfers water from the wetter northern part of the state to the drier southern part of the state through the Central Valley Project since 1940 and this was supplemented by the State Water Project in 1973. The scale of these activities is remarkable: approximately two thirds of the population of Californians rely on water from the Delta, these waters also irrigate up to 45% of the fruits & vegetables produced in the US, and about 80% of California's commercial fishery species live in or migrate through the Bay-Delta. This Delta region is a global hotspot for biodiversity that provides habitat for over 700 species, but is also a hotspot for the loss of biodiversity with more than 25 species currently listed by the Endangered Species Act. Understanding the decline of the fragile ecosystem of the Bay-Delta system and the potential consequences to economic growth if water transfers are reduced for the environment, the California State Legislature passed landmark legislation in 2009 (CA Water Code SS 85054) that established "Coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem". The legislation also stated that "The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." The challenges of integrating policy, management and scientific research will be described through this and other international examples.

Due to hardware resource limit and system incompatibility of the mobile device, and low bandwidth of wireless communication, there are a few difficulties in introducing the digital contract system based on wired communication to M-Commerce. To get over the difficulties, this paper defines a digital contract based upon XML and then addresses the design and implementation of M-XContract, a digital contract system for the mobile environment. M-XContract system has been constructed with the digital contract server, M-ESign module which contracts with the customer on the PDA and transfers the contract digitally signed to the server, M-EDecoder module which shows the contract to the customer from the server, and X-Auth which is a contract authoring tool. To evaluate the run-time performance of the M-XContract, we measured the digital signature generation time and transfer time to the server. The evaluation results show that the M-Xcontract is an efficient model for the mobile contract system.

Multimedia scenario database system is a read-only multimedia-on-demand system which transfers scenarios representing the display ordering of multimedia objects. A scenario is a graph of multimedia objects and it contains spatial, temporal and contextual information of multimedia data. By structuring multimedia objects as a scenario, it is possible to enforce their display order based on their context. Furthermore, it can provide multiple display paths as well as the sharing of objects between different scenarios. As a result, the multimedia scenario database system can perform the pre-scheduling of multimedia objects, which makes it possible to reorder the transmission order of objects in a scenario. Consequently, the overall system resource such as data buffer and network bandwidth can be highly utilized. In this paper, we discuss the requirements of structuring a scenario to design a scenario database that stores and manages multimedia scenario. Furthermore, we devise and analyze several scheduling policies based on the reordering mechanism for the objects in a scenario.

Diligence/Indolence records are the key data for a human resource management and the basic data to measure the salaries of the employees. However, existing mechanical or electro-magnetic diligence/indolence management systems have the problems that the systems are often incorrect or require much cost to build them. In this paper, we design and implement the diligence/indolence management system using a smart device of an employee. To measure the data of the diligence/indolence, the implemented system acquires the location data of the employee using the MAC addresses of both a smart device and access points of the WiFi and transfers the data of punching-in/out based on the acquired location to a server. The benefit of the proposed system is that it is easy for small business to use the proposed D/I management system with low cost because the system exploits smart devices and WiFi access points installed previously.

This paper investigates spatio-temporal changes in the international system of linkages among multinational corporate domestic decision-making centers and their overseas subsidiary centers for the period 1974-1991. During this period advances in information technologies and an ever increasing interdependent world economy have permitted the globalization of resource transfers, production techniques, service provision and financial transactions. Based on a network theory of internationalization, the study idenifies the dispersion of multinational control centers and the diversification of their linkage patterns. These tendencies are led by small and medium sized quaternary places as well as the rapid growth of service industries. Corporate headquarters cease to be tied together to big corporate and governmental centers but will disperse over time at global, national and regional level. Using information statistics, this paper confirms the dispersion patterns of capital flows and diversification of multinational control linkages. With an increasing trend toward a multicentric world system and the associated diecline of the global hegemony of a small number of largest cities, multinational control linkages should continue to disperse.

In this study, project information of government-funded research institute in the food field was collected and analyzed to systematically identify the factors affecting the process of transferring technological achievements of public research institute to the private sector. This study hypothesized that human resources, financial resources, and technological characteristics as input factors of R&D projects affect output factors, such as research papers or patents produced by R&D projects. Moreover, these outputs would serve as drivers of the technology transfer as one of the R&D outcomes. Linear Regression Analysis and Poisson Regression Analysis were conducted to empirically and sequentially investigate the relationship between input factors and output and outcome of R&D projects and the results are as follows: First, the principle investigator's career and participating researcher's size as human resource factors have an influence on both the number of SCI (science citation index) papers and patent registration. Second, the research duration and research expenses for the current year have an influence on the number of SCI papers and patent registrations, which are the main outputs of R&D projects. Third, the technology life cycle affects the number of SCI papers and patent registrations. Lastly, the higher the number of SCI papers and patent registrations, the more it affected the number of technology transfers and the amount of technology transfer contract.
