WCDMA 시스템에서는 네트워크 영역의 결정, 셀 인식, 동기화, 채널 추정, 신호 타이밍 포착 및 추적을 위해 파일럿 채널을 사용한다. 이동통신 서비스 수요의 증가로 인해 도심의 WCDMA 망 환경 하에서 단일한 무선 중계기는 다수의 인접 기지국으로부터 파일럿 신호를 수신하지만 각각의 기지국에서 송신하는 파일럿 채널을 구분하지 못하기에 파일럿 간섭 현상이 나타난다. 이러한 파일럿 간섭은 단말기에서의 잦은 핸드오프로 인한 수신 감도의 저하, 전송 효율 및 통화 품질의 저하, 채널용량의 감소와 불필요한 전력 소모 증가 등의 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 적응 추정 알고리즘인 NLMS 기법을 이용해서 WCDMA 무선 중계기에 적용 가능한 파일럿 간섭 제거 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법을 적용하여 각각 링크 레벨에서와 네트워크 레벨 에서 모의실험을 수행하여 무선 중계기 시스템에서의 성능 향상을 평가하였다. 그 결과 링크 레벨 관점에서의 BER 성능 향상과 네트워크 레벨 관점에서 시스템의 콜 드랍 확률의 향상을 각각 확인하였다.

The mission of the Forest Inventory and Analyis (FIA) program of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, is to conduct the national forest inventory of the United States of America for purposes of estimating the area of forest land; the volume, growth, and removal of forest resources; and the health of the forest. Users of FIA data, estimates, and related products include land managers, policy and decision-makers, forest industry, environmental organizations, and university researchers. To accomplish its mission, the FIA program has established a sampling design with an intensity of approximately one permanent plot per 2,400 ha across the entire country. Depending on the region of the country, each plot is remeasured at intervals of five or 10 years. The program releases data annually and reports estimates at the county level for each state every five years. Due to budgetary constraints and natural variability among plot observations, sufficient numbers of plots cannot be measured to satisfy precision guidelines for the estimates of many variables unless the estimation process is enhanced using ancillary data. Classified satellite imagery has been demonstrated to be a source of ancillary data that can be used with stratified estimation techniques to increase the precision of estimates with little corresponding increase in costs. A crucial factor restricting the utility of FIA data is that the exact locations of inventory plots cannot be released to the public. Thus, users are generally not able to obtain estimates for small areas or for their own areas of interest if exact plot locations are required. To compensate, satellite imagery, inventory plot data, and the k-Nearest Neighbors technique are being used to construct Internet-based maps of forest attributes from which estimates for arbitrary user-defined areas of interest may be obtained.

Until now, because a new product (or facility) launched in market has been retired from one year of age, we can have had ASL by stub-curve method by Iowa curve. Recently, many innovative products with important role in market like display and solar-cell etc. are more durable and, what are better, they have the constant variance in ASL because of their good quality. Of course, there are some ones like smart mobile phone with relatively big dispersion in ASL. Estimating ASL of products like display and solar-cell etc., the new approach is needed. In this paper a new method applied traditional Iowa curve with accelerated reliability test (indoor/outdoor) etc. is proposed.

In this study, we present results of precise orbital geodetic parameter estimation using satellite laser ranging (SLR) observations for the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) associate analysis center (AAC). Using normal point observations of LAGEOS-1, LAGEOS-2, ETALON-1, and ETALON-2 in SLR consolidated laser ranging data format, the NASA/GSFC GEODYN II and SOLVE software programs were utilized for precise orbit determination (POD) and finding solutions of a terrestrial reference frame (TRF) and Earth orientation parameters (EOPs). For POD, a weekly-based orbit determination strategy was employed to process SLR observations taken from 20 weeks in 2013. For solutions of TRF and EOPs, loosely constrained scheme was used to integrate POD results of four geodetic SLR satellites. The coordinates of 11 ILRS core sites were determined and daily polar motion and polar motion rates were estimated. The root mean square (RMS) value of post-fit residuals was used for orbit quality assessment, and both the stability of TRF and the precision of EOPs by external comparison were analyzed for verification of our solutions. Results of post-fit residuals show that the RMS of the orbits of LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2 are 1.20 and 1.12 cm, and those of ETALON-1 and ETALON-2 are 1.02 and 1.11 cm, respectively. The stability analysis of TRF shows that the mean value of 3D stability of the coordinates of 11 ILRS core sites is 7.0 mm. An external comparison, with respect to International Earth rotation and Reference systems Service (IERS) 08 C04 results, shows that standard deviations of polar motion $X_P$ and $Y_P$ are 0.754 milliarcseconds (mas) and 0.576 mas, respectively. Our results of precise orbital and geodetic parameter estimation are reasonable and help advance research at ILRS AAC.

이 글은 근로자가 직장을 선택하는 과정에서 원하는 직장을 선택하는지 여부가 근로자와 일자리의 일치도를 나타내는 데 한 지표로 활용될 수 있다는 점에 착안하여, 그러한 입직 과정에서의 희망직장 선택 여부가 근로자의 임금에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 한다. 특히 이 글에서는 패널 자료를 활용하여 근로자의 비관측된 이질성이 임금에 미치는 영향을 통제할 수 있는 모형을 제시하고, 그를 한국노동패널 조사의 3개년 조사 결과에 적용하여 희망직장의 선택 여부에 따른 임금격차를 계산하였다. 그 결과 우리는 희망직장의 선택 여부에 따라 약 50% 이상의 임금격차가 발생함을 발견할 수 있었으며, 이러한 임금격차가 전통적인 임금격차의 설명틀로 설명될 수 없다는 점에서 일자리에서의 생산성 격차가 그 원인일 가능성을 제기하였다. 이 경우 이러한 가능성에 대한 분석이 이뤄지지 않았다는 점은 이 글의 한계로 지적될 수 있으며, 추후 연구를 통해 규명되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 글의 분석 결과는 직업알선 활동의 개선을 통해 경제 효율성이 증대될 수 있으리라는 점을 시사하는 것으로 보인다.

Separation of prescribing and dispensing practice in Korea has changed the service pattern of the pharmacy. The prescription dispensing activities, however, are concentrated excessively on the pharmacies near hospitals or clinics. Thus this study was conducted to estimate the number of optimal dispensing cases for the community pharmacy. Forty-six pharmacies were selected using systematic stratified random sampling method, and ninety-five pharmacists were interviewed on their workload of dispensing and other activities at pharmacies. One hundred and seventy prescriptions were chosen based on the length of drug administration and drug dosage form, and the dispensing time was measured by time-watch method. Also pharmacy benefit claims data were analyzed to identify the characteristics of the pharmacies which performed more than optimal dispensing cases. According to the study results, the average work time per pharmacist per day was found to be 10hours 32minutes and the dispensing activities occupied 7hours 36minutes. It took 5.72minutes on average for each dispensing case. The optimal dispensing case was estimated as 75 cases under the condition of 10hours 32minutes work time and 6% allowance rate. Even though the pharmacies near hospitals or clinics participated dispensing services actively, only pharmacies near clinics dealt with more than optimal dispensing cases. For the pharmacies near hospitals they dealt with less than optimal cases, but drug administration period per prescription was almost 3 times longer than that of pharmacies near clinics. Thus the intensity of dispensing activities such as drug administration period is to be considered to estimate optimal dispensing cases more accurately.

연구목적: 기존의 인력에 의한 안전점검은 기술자의 안전이 우려되거나 접근이 어려워, 평가 및 데이터 확보에 한계가 있었고, 시설물의 노후화로 유지관리 대상이 증가함에 따라 더욱더 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 드론 기술이 발전하면서 외관조사에 이를 활용할 경우, 인력의 안전 보장, 시각적 데이터 확보, 신속한 점검 진단이 가능하며, 최근 드론에 의한 시설물 안전점검이 일부 도입되는 등 활용도가 높아지고 있다. 활용성을 보다 강화하기 위해서는 드론에 의한 시설물 외관조사의 대가기준이 필요하다고 판단되며, 본 논문에서는 댐을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 연구방법:품셈 산출을 위해 기존 국내 안전점검 및 드론관련 대가기준을 조사하고, 드론을 활용한 안전점검 관련 절차를 비교분석하여 작업 절차 및 공종에 대하여 검토하였다. 또한 실제 댐에 대한 드론 촬영 및 입면정사영상 제작을 통해 실증 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과: 드론을 활용한 시설물 안전점검을 위한 작업공종을 도출하였고, 작업공종에 따라 두 개의 댐을 대상으로 실증조사결과를 수집하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 댐기준시설물 규격 기준으로 품셈 안을 도출하였다. 시설물의 구조형식별, 규격별 조정비는 기존 지침을 적용하고, 기상기준점측량이 필요한 경우 건설공사표준품셈의 무인비행장치측량의 품을 적용하도록 하였다. 결론:드론을 활용한 외관조사 시 GSD를 세밀하게 할수록 촬영 사진 수가 크게 증가하여, 대가기준을 산출을 위한 보정으로 조정비 개념을 적용하였다. 더불어 안전거리 유지를 위해서는 최대 GSD가 한계를 나타내는 문제점도 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been recognized as one of the significant greenhouse gas (GHG) generators, due to the complex biochemical reaction and huge consumption of energy and materials. Recently, WWTPs have been built underground and they will be confronted with the challenges of mitigating GHG emissions and improving the quality of treated wastewater. Here, we focus on estimating GHG emissions to set up effective management plans for a WWTP built underground. First, we apply the process-based life cycle assessment (LCA) with an inventory database of the underground WWTP for a case study. Then, we identify significant factors affecting GHG emissions during service life using sensitivity analysis and suggest the proper tactics that could properly reduce GHG emissions from the WWTP.

In this paper, we propose an application layer-based vertical handover management protocol, called multihoming RTP (mhRTP), for real-time applications with seamless mobility across heterogeneous wireless access networks. The proposed multi-homing RTP provides a soft handover by utilizing multiple available wireless access network interfaces simultaneously. The newly available path is dynamically added to the ongoing session by the mhRTP session manager. Also the decision making of QoS-improving or QoS-guaranteed handover is possible based on the estimation of available bandwidth in each candidate network. The performances of the proposed mhRTP have been analyzed through a series of simulations on OPNET network simulator. From the performance analysis, we confirmed that the proposed mhRTP can provide QoS-guaranteed vertical handover with efficient session managements.
