In this paper, several improvements to a copy network proposed previously for multicast packet switching are described. The improvements provide a solution to some problems inherent in multicasting. The input fairness problem caused by overf low is solved by a dynamic starting point decider(DSD), which can calculate running sums of copy requests starting from any input port. The starting point is changed adaptively in every time slot based on both the fill level of the input buffers in current time slot and the overflow situations of the previous time slot. Using the fill level of the conventional network. The DSD also provides the function of regulating overall copy requests according to the amount of input traffics. This is an essential function in improving overall throughputs of the copy networks. The throughput of a multicast switch can be improved substantially if partial service of copy request is implemented when overflow occurs. Call-splitting can also be implemented by the DSD in a straightforward manner. The hardware for the DSD is derived with the objective of simple architectures for the high speed operation. Simulation study of the copy network under various traffic conditions is presented to evaluate its performance.

This paper proposes a new frame synchronization technique based on convolutional neural network (CNN). The conventional frame synchronizers usually find the matching instance through correlation between the received signal and the preamble. The proposed method converts the 1-dimensional correlator ouput into a 2-dimensional matrix. The 2-dimensional matrix is input to a convolutional neural network, and the convolutional neural network finds the frame arrival time. Specifically, in additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) environments, the received signals are generated with random arrival times and they are used for training data of the CNN. Through computer simulation, the false detection probabilities in various signal-to-noise ratios are investigated and compared between the proposed CNN-based technique and the conventional one. According to the results, the proposed technique shows 2dB better performance than the conventional method.

This study was conducted to compare job satisfaction and factors related to job satisfaction between permanently and temporarily employed dietitians in school foodservices in the Gyeongsangnam-do area. A total of 204 questionnaires were used in the final analysis. The average age, length of employment, and monthly wage of temporarily employed dietitians was significantly lower than those of permanently employed dietitians. However, there was no significant difference of overall job satisfaction between permanently and temporarily employed dietitians, although the average pay, welfare benefits, and promotion factors for permanently employed dietitians was significantly higher. Work and pay factors had significant effects on the overall job satisfaction of permanently employed dietitians, while work factors and work atmosphere had significant effects on the overall job satisfaction of temporarily employed dietitians. In conclusion, there was a significant difference in overall factors related to job satisfaction between permanently employed dietitian and temporarily employed dietitians. The pay, welfare benefits, and promotion condition of temporarily employed dietitians should be improved to ensure the efficient management of the school foodservice workforce in the future.

This paper is based on the design and analysis computing model of oxygen saturation with the pulse oximeter using the integral ratio of pulsating components. In our proposed algorithm. we modeled the transmitted optical signal in fingertip or earlobe to DC component $A_{dc}$ pulsating component $A_a\;Sinwt$, noise component $A_{noise}$ and etc.. To separate the pulsating components and DC components efficiently, we defined the signal average to DC components. Also we presented the way to eliminate the noise using integral ratio. To acquire a linearity of correlation graph for pulsating components ratios and non invasive oxygen saturation. we intensively observed on the oxygen saturations in the range of 75-100% in consideration of the error range of simulator. Also, for real time processing we experimented on changing the period of area calculating cycle from 1 to 6. The functional evaluation of the algorithm is compared with the method using the amplitude ratio of pulsating components frequently seen with pulse oximeter. The result was that our algorithm with 4 cycles of area calculating cycle which considered to be best fit by 1% to the existing method. Moreover r , the decision coefficient showing the correlation of regression graph with real data, proved better result of 0.985 than 0.970.

In this paper, design of a new 3-dimensional (3-D) 16-ary signal constellation with constant envelope is presented and analyzed. Unlike the conventional 16-ary constellations, all signal points of the new constellation are uniformly located on the surface of a sphere so that they have a unique amplitude level and a symmetrical structure. When average power of the constellations is normalized, the presented 16-ary constellation has around 11.4% increased minimum Euclidean distance (MED) as compared to the conventional ones that have non-constant envelope. As a result, a digital communication system which exploits the presented constellation has 1.2dB improved symbol error rate (SER). While signal points of the conventional constant-envelope constellation are not distributed uniformly on the surface of a sphere, those of the proposed constellation has a completely symmetric distribution. In addition, the new signal constellation has much lower computational complexity for practical implementation than the conventional one. Hence, the proposed 3-D 16-ary signal constellation is appropriate for the application to a communication system which strongly requires a constant-envelope characteristic.

This paper is to apply an individual travel cost method(TCM) to estimate demand functions for cultural services enjoyed by visiting 3 branches of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art located in the Seoul Metropolitan area. This paper extends the standard TCM by incorporating opportunity costs of leisure time and two different data generating process - 398 respondents from an on-site survey and 600 respondents from a general household survey. Negative binomial models reflecting the non-negative integer nature of visiting frequency with over-dispersed variance were best fitted for demand functions, in which residents of Seoul metropolitan area surveyed from on the site exhibited higher visitation demand for the national art museum. Price elasticity and income elasticity differed by respondents' residency. Price elasticity of long distance visitors (-0.21) was more inelastic from those of Seoul residents (-0.34 ~ -0.5). Moreover, regional residents outside of Seoul area seemed to consider that services from the national art museum is a normal good with income elasticity of 0.5, whereas the Seoul residents seemed to perceive it to be an inferior good with income elasticity of -0.05.

"하천법" 제50조는 하천수의 사용용도를 생활 공업 농업 환경개선 발전, 그리고 주운 등 하천수 사용용도를 다양화하고 있으나, 하천수 사용료의 징수대상은 발전용수, 농업용수, 생공용수, 그 밖의 용수 등 4개 용수를 대상으로 하고 있다. 발전용수는 $100m^3/d$ 에 대하여 연액 231원, 농업용수는 $1,000m^3/d$에 대하여 연액 231원(발전용수의 1/10), 생활 및 공업, 기타용수는 댐용수대를 적용(2018년 현재 52.7원/$m^3$)하고 있다. 댐용수 요금의 산정은 '댐용수를 공급하는데 소요되는 총괄 원가를 보상하는 수준'에서 결정되며, 총괄원가는 '댐용수를 공급하는데 소요되는 적정원가에 댐용수사업에 공여하고 있는 자산에 대한 적정투자보수를 가산한 금액'으로 한다. 우리나라의 생활용수 및 공업용수는 이처럼 "한국수자원공사법" 제16조제2항에 따라 국토부장관이 승인한 댐용수 단가를 적용한다. 댐용수의 산정기준은 댐용수를 공급하는데 소요되는 총괄원가이지만, 하천수로서의 생활용수 및 공업용수가 이러한 댐용수 단가를 적용하는 이유에 대해서는 이론의 여지가 있을 수 있다. 댐용수는 1987년 최초로 전국 동일요금이 적용되었고 그 이후로도 주기적으로 요금이 인상되었으며, 발전 및 농업용수는 2008년 "하천법 시행령" 개정에 의해 사용료가 결정되었다. 농업용수와 발전용수는 각 지자체의 조례에 의해 요금을 부과하였는데 최초의 단가는 농업용수가 톤당 0.00032원, 발전용수는 톤당 0.0032원, 그리고 공업용수는 톤당 0.0076원이 부과되었다. 이후 1981년 조례의 개정에 따라 공업용수는 관경에 따라 차등적인 요금체계가 확립되었는데 대략 톤당 0.01원으로 기존에 단가에 비해 비약적으로 증가하였다. 농업용수 및 발전용수의 단가가 1984년 대비 2배 상승한 것에 비해 공업용수단가는 약 7,000배가 상승하였다. 생활용수의 경우, 기존 조례에서 따로 정하지 않았고 2008년 하천법 개정과 더불어 각 조례에 규정되었다. 즉 2008년 이전까지는 생활용수에 대해 따로 요금기준이 없었던 것으로 파악된다. 이에 비하여 농업용수 및 발전용수는 1984년 2배로 상승한 뒤 현재까지 동일한 요금을 부과하고 있다. 2008년에 개정된 "하천법 시행령" 제57조(하천수 사용료의 징수)의 농업용수 및 발전용수의 단가는 기존 조례의 단가를 그대로 "하천법"이 계승한 것으로 해당 용수의 단가가 특정한 과학적 기준으로 정해진 것으로 보기는 어렵다. 따라서 현재와 같이 용수단가별로 나타나는 커다란 차이는 각 용수의 용도 및 성격, 사회적 영향 등 용수 속성에 관한 사항과 더불어 회귀율과 취배수거리 등 다양한 요인을 적용한 산정기준을 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

In a single frequency network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using the same frequency are inevitable. Since the presence of interferences results in performance degradation of the SFN, it is crucial to manipulate the interferences by adjusting the transmit power and timing of each transmitter and repeater. In the ATSC terrestrial DTV system, in order to facilitate the interference manipulation process, a transmitter identification (TxID) signal which is uniquely embedded in the signal to be transmitted from each transmitter and repeater is recommended. Even though the injection level of the TxID signal is much lower than the DTV signal, the TxID signal injection infects the DTV signal. Hence, the effect of the TxID signal on the DTV signal must be investigated before deployment. In this paper, the effect of the TxID signal on the performance of legacy DTV receivers under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath channel environments is investigated not only with computer simulation but also with laboratory and field tests. The test results show that the average threshold of visibility degradation of the legacy DTV receivers due to the TxID signal injection is less than 0.2 dB at the TxID injection level of -30 dB.

For the effective management of groundwater resources, it is necessary to predict groundwater level fluctuations in response to rainfall events. In the present study, time series models using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) have been developed and applied to groundwater level data from the Gasan, Shingwang, and Cheongseong stations of the National Groundwater Monitoring Network. We designed four types of model according to input structure and compared their performances. The results show that the rainfall input model is not effective, especially for the prediction of groundwater recession behavior; however, the rainfall-groundwater input model is effective for the entire prediction stage, yielding a high model accuracy. Recursive prediction models were also effective, yielding correlation coefficients of 0.75-0.95 with observed values. The prediction errors were highest for Shingwang station, where the cross-correlation coefficient is lowest among the stations. Overall, the model performance of SVM models was slightly higher than that of ANN models for all cases. Assessment of the model parameter uncertainty of the recursive prediction models, using the ratio of errors in the validation stage to that in the calibration stage, showed that the range of the ratio is much narrower for the SVM models than for the ANN models, which implies that the SVM models are more stable and effective for the present case studies.

This paper presents cell ID (cell identity) detection schemes using PSS/SSS (primary synchronization signal/secondary synchronization signal) for 5G NR (new radio) system and evaluates the detection performance. In this paper, we consider two cell ID detection schemes, i.e. two-stage detection and joint detection schemes. The two-stage detection scheme consists of two stages which estimate a channel gain between a transmitter and receiver and detect the PSS and SSS sequences. The joint detection scheme jointly detects the PSS and SSS sequences. In addition, this paper presents coherent and non-coherent combining schemes. The coherent scheme calculates the correlation value for the total length of the given PSS and SSS sequences, and the non-coherent combining scheme calculates the correlation within each group by dividing the total length of the sequence into several groups and then combines them non-coherently. For the detection schemes considered in this paper, the detection error rates of PSS, SSS and overall cell ID are evaluated and compared through computer simulations. The simulation results show that the joint detection scheme outperforms the two-stage detection scheme for both coherent and non-coherent combining schemes, but the two-stage detection scheme can greatly reduce the computational complexity compared to the joint detection scheme. In addition, the non-coherent combining detection scheme shows better performance under the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), fixed, and mobile environments.
