The purpose of this study is to devise proper plans for sustainable energy management in schools through applying school eco-audit to energy field. This study is performed by literature review and the analysis of case study. This study analyzes the energy-saving model school according to the three cores of eco-audit such as school administration system, teaching-learning method, and ecological policy, and the result of the study is as followings. First, according to the analysis of school administration system for energy education programs, the participation of all the school staff is very low, and the democratic decision-making system is unsatisfactory. Second, according to the analysis of teaching-learning method, the program is mainly managed by teacher-oriented method not by learner-oriented one. The effect on the education of energy-saving program is a little improved in cognitive area, but is insufficient in affective area. Third, in the aspect of the ecological policy, the practical energy-saving effect in schools is unsatisfactory, and shows the difficulty of continuing application of the program. Consequently, it is desirable to integrate the energy-saving program with the eco-audit for sustainable energy management in schools. Implementation of the energy eco-audit in schools for the sustainable development education as teaching-learning method could achieve extended effect for the earth environmental conservation.

The recent H.264/AVC video coding standard provides a higher coding efficiency than previous standards. H.264/AVC achieves a bit rate saving of more than 50 % with many new technologies, but it is computationally complex. Most of fast mode decision algorithms have focused on Baseline profile of H.264/AVC. In this paper, a fast block mode decision scheme for P- slices in High profile is proposed to reduce the computational complexity for H.264/AVC because the High profile is useful for broadcasting and storage applications. To reduce the block mode decision complexity in P- pictures of High profile, we use the SAD value after $16{\times}16$ block motion estimation. This SAD value is used for the classification feature to divide all block modes into some proper candidate block modes. The proposed algorithm shows average speed-up factors of 47.42 ${\sim}$ 67.04% for IPPP sequences.

본 논문에서는 묵음 억제 기술이 지원되는 VoIP 트래픽에 비 실시간 트래픽을 위한 전원 절약 모드와 실시간 트래픽을 위한 전원 절약 모드를 동시에 적용하는 혼합 전원 절약 모드를 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 사용자들이 통화를 하고 있는 구간에서는 제 2종 전원 절약 모드를 적용하고 상호 침묵 구간에서는 BTE(binary truncated exponent) 알고리즘 혹은 PSID (probabilistic sleep interval decision) 알고리즘을 적용하여 휴지 구간 (sleep interval)의 길이와 위치를 결정한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 평균 버퍼링 지연 시간, 단말의 에너지 소비 효율, VoIP 패킷의 손실률 등을 고려한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 혼합전원 절약 모드는 VoIP서비스의 최대 허용 패킷 손실률을 만족시키면서 단말의 에너지 소비를 제 2종 전원 절약 모드보다 25%까지 낮출 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

A GDHS(Geothermal District Heating System) is a heating system supplying a group of districts with heat extracted from geothermal sources. Due to various advantages of GDHS including the saving of fuel consumption as well as the reduction of air pollution, a world-wide trend is to replace central/individual heating systems with GDH systems. The basic point of this paper is that a crash program mentality leads to inappropriate decisions about policy issues in large-scale research and development like the development of GDHS, R&D funding should be viewed as a sequential decision, not a once-and-for-all choice. Hence we develop on economic feasibility assessment model based on a continuous sequential decision process for the Chejoo Island GDHS Project by modifying Roberts's model.

Semiconductor industry has been dramatically developed with the information era of 21C, and the trend now is to consider that the technology of management system of the computer utility that has a high efficiency is important. This study investigated the intelligent decision system for residual gas purge process to effectively remove the residual gas in the tube after replacing the cylinder that is used for the gas cabinet or BSGS(Bulk Specialty Gas Supply System) of the semiconductor process. It was suggest from this study that it is possible to decide the type, frequency and volume of purge gas using various toxic gases which is necessary for each process. Also, this result will be utilized for operating the system, increasing the efficiency of management and saving energy.

The response to climate change of international air transport industry might be initiated by ICAO's CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) which will impact on international airlines' flight operation behavior in the future. Though the airlines' efforts to reduce fuel consumption has been a major issue in economics of aviation industry, the improvement of fuel efficiency in flight operation will have additional impact on their profitability by introducing carbon emission cost. The fuel consumption in flight operation will be somewhat influenced by pilots' technical action for maneuvering aircraft during flight operation. This study will investigate pilots' behavior on decision for tactical aircraft control for mission flight. The data will be collected by the survey through sample pilots asking about their intention and perception on fuel savings during flight operations. The data will be analyzed by AHP process and the study will find out the elements and factors influencing pilots' behavior on technical decision of flight and their weights on fuel saving effects.

Recent works have validated the possibility of reducing the energy consumption in wireless heterogeneous networks, achieved by switching on/off some base stations (BSs) dynamically. In this paper, to realize energy conservation, the discrete time Markov Decision Process (DTMDP) is developed to match up the BS switching operations with the traffic load variations. Then, an asynchronous decision-making algorithm, which is based on the Bellman equation and the on/off priorities of the BSs, is firstly put forward and proved to be optimal in this paper. Through reducing the state and action space during one decision, the proposed asynchronous algorithm can avoid the "curse of dimensionality" occurred in DTMDP frequently. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed asynchronous on/off strategies.

본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC의 부호화기에서 RDO 모드 결정을 위한 효율적인 방식을 제안한다. DCT 계수와 RDO 모드 결정 과정의 특징에 기반하여 모든 DCT 계수들이 양자화 후에 '0'이 되는 오차 블록 (AZCB)을 검출하는 새로운 조건이 유도된다. 제안 알고리즘에서는 AZCB에 대한 (I)DCT, (역)양자화, 엔트로피 부호화 과정의 생략이 이루어진다. 이것은 RDO 모드 결정 과정에 요구되는 계산량을 감소시킨다. 모의 실험 결과는 기존 방식에 비하여 약 40% 이상의 계산량 감소가 제안 알고리즘에서 이루어짐을 보여준다.

다중 참조 영상을 이용한 최적 부호화 모드를 선택하기 위해 율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 적용한 H.264/AVC 동영상 압축 표준은 기존의 동영상 압축 표준들보다 높은 부호화 효율을 얻었지만 계산 복잡도가 그만큼 증가하게 되었다. 따라서 이런 계산의 복잡도를 줄이기 위한 많은 빠른 모드 결정 방법들이 제안되었다. 그중에 I4MB의 방향성 정보를 이용한 고속 인트라 모드 결정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 JM11.0과 비교하여 무시할만하게 PSNR이 손실되고 비트율의 증가하지만 IPPP 영상들에서 전체 부호화 시간을 평균 15%와 모든 영상을 인트라로 처리한 영상들에서 부호화 시간을 평균 44% 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The layered coding structure of scalable video coding (SVC) with adaptive inter-layer prediction causes noticeable computational complexity increments when compared to existing video coding standards. To lighten the computational complexity of SVC, we present a fast algorithm to speed up the inter-mode decision process. The proposed algorithm terminates inter-mode decision early in the enhancement layers by estimating the rate-distortion (RD) cost from the macroblocks of the base layer and the enhancement layer in temporal, spatial, and inter-layer directions. Moreover, a search range decision algorithm is also proposed in this paper to further increase the motion estimation speed by using the motion vector information from temporal, spatial, or inter-layer domains. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can determine the best mode and provide more efficient total coding time saving with very slight RD performance degradation for spatial and quality scalabilities.
