최근 정보통신의 발달로 도시 지하시설물 지능화를 위한 다양한 기술들이 제공되어 '유비쿼터스 국토' 실현에 대한 요구가 지속적으로 높아질 전망이다. 다양한 기관에서 지능화된 시설물 관리에 대한 요구가 발생하고 있으며 각 지방자치단체들은 U-City 사업을 통하여 센서를 활용한 시설물 관리를 시도하고 있다. 하지만 사업의 대부분이 지상 시설에 대한 분야로 한정되어, 지상시설의 센서네트워크 기술은 다양한 응용분야로 발전하고 있으나 지하 환경의 시설물 관리를 위한 센서네트워크 기술은 아직 활용이 미흡하다. 본 연구는 지능형 상하수도 관리를 위한 유비쿼터스센서 설치방안 마련을 위한 연구방법론 수립을 제안한다. 이를 위해 첫째, 지능화(또는 유비쿼터스화)의 개념, 둘째, 상하수도 시설물 지능화의 필요성, 셋째, 시설물 지능화를 위한 센서설치의 역할 및 중요성, 넷째, u-City 구현을 위한 3대 영역(즉, 물리영역, 비물리영역, 정보통신영역)의 융합개념을 적용한 지능형 상하수도의 개념정립, 다섯째, 이상의 기반을 바탕으로 상하수도 지능화를 위한 센서설치 연구방법론을 제안한다. 이를 통해 물리영역(즉, 물리적 제한요소들), 비물리영역(실수요기반 시설물 지능화의 필요성) 그리고 정보통신영역(즉, 정보통신 관련 핵심기술 및 보조기술)의 상호융합에 의한 지능형 상하수도 관리를 위한 센서설치방안 마련이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

With the advent of ubiquitous computing society, many advanced technologies have enabled wireless sensor networks which consist of small sensor nodes. However, the sensor nodes have limited computing resources such as small size memory, low battery life, short transmission range, and low computational capabilities. Thus, decreasing energy consumption is one of the most significant issues in wireless sensor networks. In addition, numerous applications for wireless sensor networks are recently spreading to various fields (health-care, surveillance, location tracking, unmanned monitoring, nuclear reactor control, crop harvesting control, u-city, building automation etc.). For many of them, supporting security functionalities is an indispensable feature. Especially in case wireless sensor networks should provide a sufficient variety of security functions, sensor nodes are required to have more powerful performance and more energy demanding features. In other words, simultaneously providing security features and saving energy faces a trade-off problem. This paper presents a novel energy-efficient security architecture in an IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless sensor network called the Hybrid Adaptive Security (HAS) framework in order to resolve the trade off issue between security and energy. Moreover, we present a performance analysis based on the experimental results and a real implementation model in order to verify the proposed approach.

Recently, a lot of research have been studied to apply wireless sensor networks to USN applications. The characteristics of USN applications is that they are varied according to the sort of sensors and sensing objects. They includes military applications, water pollusion monitoring, intelligent traffic system, farm, logistics, location position applications, and so on. There is no traditional method to classify these applications. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy scheme to classify USN applications. The criteria is based on 3 properties, the criticalness of services, the mobility of sensing entity, and the mobility of sensed objects, to classify them into 8 groups. We also describe the technical issues and related works in them. Our taxonomy can make USN applications to be easily understood and memorized.

Effectively monitoring the concrete cracks is an urgent question to be solved in the structural safety monitoring while cracks in hydraulic concrete structures are ubiquitous. In this paper, two experiments are designed based on the measuring principle of Pulse-Pre pump Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (PPP-BOTDA) utilizing Brillouin optical fiber sensor to monitor concrete cracks. More specifically, "V" shaped optical fiber sensor is proposed to determine the position of the initial crack and the experiment illustrates that the concrete crack position can be located by the mutation position of optical fiber strain. Further, Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensor and preinstall cracks are set at different angles and loads until the optical fiber is fractured. Through the monitoring data, it can be concluded that the variation law of optical fiber strain can basically reflect the propagation trend of the cracks in hydraulic concrete structures.

The rapid proliferation of wireless networks provides a ubiquitous channel for delivering instructional materials at the convenience of the user. By delivering content through portable devices linked to the Internet, the full spectrum of multimedia capabilities is available for engaging the user's interest. This capability encompasses not only text but images, video, speech generation and voice recognition. Moreover, the incorporation of machine learning capabilities at the source provides the ability to tailor the material to the general level of expertise of the user as well as the immediate needs of the moment: for instance, a request for information regarding a particular city might be covered by a leisurely presentation if solicited from the home, but more tersely if the user happens to be driving a car. This paper presents system architecture to support mobile instruction in conjunction with knowledge-based tutoring capabilities. For concreteress, the general concepts are examined in the context of a system for mathematics education on the Web.

As noted in the various USN service implementations including those in U-City, the reliable data transmission has become the essential component as the USN services are getting more various. The assurance of the reliability is needed sometimes prior to other QoS specifications of the USN services. The efficiency would become more important as well in USNs because the efficient and reliable delivery of a packet could be consequently linked to the energy saving. This paper is intended to provide the performance comparisons of data delivery schemes in USNs.

The location based service means the service using the location information and the service used based on the location information comes into the spotlight as the critical information of the future mode townsman ubiquitous-City construction. LBS settles down as the core element of ITS or the telematics as the cutting edge technology appearing according to the power generation of the mobile communication technology and recently gradually broadens a range to the public safety service including the distribution management, the asset management, a children and old and the weak protection means, the disaster preparation rescue service like the E-911 of U.S. In the national, the technical regulations about the ground wave LBS was established at November 2005 for the first time in the country. but it actually operated and problems were deduced. Therefore, in this paper, domestic and foreign LBS usage trend and technical standards case try to be analyzed for the revision of the technical regulations of the ground wave LBS serviced in the national and the national technical standards bill for the revision tries to be prepared based on this.

$Ca^{2+}$ release from intracellular stores and influx from extracellular reservoir regulate a wide range of physiological functions including muscle contraction and rhythmic heartbeat. One of the most ubiquitous pathways involved in controlled $Ca^{2+}$ influx into cells is store-operated $Ca^{2+}$ entry (SOCE), which is activated by the reduction of $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the lumen of endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR). Although SOCE is pronounced in non-excitable cells, accumulating evidences highlight its presence and important roles in skeletal muscle and heart. Recent discovery of STIM proteins as ER/SR $Ca^{2+}$ sensors and Orai proteins as $Ca^{2+}$ channel pore forming unit expedited the mechanistic understanding of this pathway. This review focuses on current advances of SOCE components, regulation and physiologic and pathophysiologic roles in muscles. The specific property and the dysfunction of this pathway in muscle diseases, and new directions for future research in this rapidly growing field are discussed.
