RTLS used to track the location of object or person in real time. However, if there are a lot of tags and readers, the conventional single RTLS server may fail to estimate location of tags. And if the server cannot receive the tags signal due to pass-loss or NLOS from more than three readers, the server fail to estimate location of tags. In this paper, we propose a special reader which embeds RTLS location engine for distributed RTLS. And by using multi-directional antenna, alleviating multi-path effect and allowing estimate tag's location only using two readers. We also implement the system, we can reduce server packet 16times and get the all results of location estimate in single second. We achieved the location error within 1m.

It is necessary to accurate and efficient management for measured digital data from various sensors in digital marine vessel. It is not efficient that sensor network process input stream data of mass storage stored in database the same time. In this paper, We propose to improve the processing performance of multidimensional stream data continuous incoming from multiple sensor. We propose that we arrange some sensors (temperature, humidity, lighting, voice) and process query based on sliding window for efficient input stream and found multiple query plan to Mjoin method and we reduce stored data using SVM algorithm. We automatically delete that it isn't necessary to the data from the database and we used to ship diagnosis system for available data. As a result, we obtained to efficient result about 18.3% reduction rate of database using 35,912 data sets.

The HEC-HMS model was applied to identify the rainfall-runoff processes for the Anseongchun basin, where the lower part of the stream has been damaged severely by tropical storms in the past. Modeling processes include incorporating with the SCS-CN model for loss, Clark's UH model for transformation, exponential recession model for baseflow, and Muskingum model for channel routing. The parameters were calibrated through an optimization technique using a trial and error method. Sensitivity analysis after calibration was performed to understand the effects of parameters, such as the time of concentration, storage coefficient, and base flow related constants. Two storm water events were simulated by the model and compared with the corresponding observations. Good accuracy in predicting the runoff volume, peak flow, and the time to peak flow was achieved using the selected methods. The results of this study can be used as a useful tool for decision makers to determine a master plan for regional flood control management.

To improve water quality for agricultural use, it is needed to introduce the natural and low-cost self-purification system. It is also necessary to develop the water purification facilities for more efficient and convenient design, construction, operation and management. This study aims to develop the practical facilities to improve water quality for agricultural use. The practical detention pond system, which uses artificial floating island and shield skirts with bio-media, enhanced removal efficiencies of SS, TN and TP more particularly than the detention pond using an auxiliary dam. The removal efficiencies SS, TN and TP for the practical detention pond were 55.7%, 61.0% and 55.9%, respectively. The facilities of the practical detention pond has a lot of disadvantages such as the low-cost and high efficiency as well as uncountable impacts regarding ecology and landscape. However, an auxiliary dam is recommended to be installed in shallow depth due to low efficiency.

유역통합수자원관리의 시작은 기상예측정보의 제공으로부터 시작된다. 하지만, 기상예측정보는 단기, 중기, 장기로 구분되며, 제공되는 정보가 수자원 운영에 필요한 정보와 시간적으로나 공간적으로 차이가 나며, 가공에 많은 전문가들의 노력이 필요하여 실무에서의 적용에 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제들을 해결하고 용이하게 수자원 운영자에게 필요한 기상정보를 적절한 형태의 가공을 통하여 자동적으로 제공해 주는데 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 시스템의 구축을 통해 향후 수자원 운영에 있어 필수적인 의사결정 정보를 제공해 주어 수자원의 이용효율을 높이고자 한다. 구축된 시스템은 금강 유역에 대해 소유역단위로 장기 유출의 입력자료인 일단위 예측 강수를 30일간 제공하도록 시스템을 구축하였다. 단기(1일$\sim$2일)에는 RDAPS의 모의 결과인 Grib파일을 자동 추출하여 예측 강수를 제공한다. 1일에 두 번 모의되는 RDAPS의 결과를 일단위로 제공하기 위해 여러 가지 case별 분석을 실시하여 가장 적합한 기법을 이용하여 일단위 시계열을 구축하는 시스템을 설계하였다. 중기(3일$\sim$10일)에는 GDAPS 결과인 Grib파일을 자동 추출하여 유역단위 시계열을 구축한 뒤 과거 자료를 이용한 연 평균 자료를 이용하여 가중치를 곱하여 시계열을 구축하였다. 장기(11일$\sim$30일) 시계열의 구축을 위해서는 단기 및 중기 예측 시계열을 이용하여 과거 시계열 자료와의 통계적 비교 분석을 이용하여 유사 시계열을 추출한 후 과거 자료에 대한 평균값과 기상 전망을 이용하여 가중치를 부여하는 방법 등을 이용하여 시스템을 구축하였다. 본 시스템은 한국수자원공사에서 운영 중인 RRFS모형의 입력 자료를 자동 생성할 수 있는 기능을 제공하도록 설계되었다. 이러한 시스템의 구축을 통해 기상정보를 다루는데 익숙하지 않은 수자원 운영자들에게 비교적 용이하게 유역단위 기상예측 정보를 추출하는데 큰 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

There have been lots of studies on locational factors of companies, but, very few studies for Korean shipping companies. This study analyzes locational factors for Korean shipping companies using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. For the study model, the first level is consisted by software, hardware and city policy factors. As more specific factors, the second level is formed by three factors of the first level. The third level consists of Seoul and Busan to evaluate competitive advantage for location of shipping companies. We carried out an analytical survey focused on the executives of shipping companies and related experts, and derived the priority order for locational factors of Korean shipping companies as follow. Firstly, software factors turned out the most important factor for location of Korean shipping companies. Next, Busan has a competitive advantage only in city policy factors. However, there are much of competitive disadvantages in both software and hardware factors for location of shipping companies compared against Seoul.

The recognition and classification of paddy rice disease are of major importance to the technical and economical aspect of agricultural industry over the world. Computer vision techniques are used to diagnose rice diseases and to efficiently manage crops. Segmentation of lesions is the most important technique to detect paddy rice disease early and accurately. A new Gaussian Mean (GM) method was proposed to segment paddy rice diseases in various color spaces. Different color spaces produced different results in segmenting paddy diseases. Thus, this empirical study was conducted with the motivation to determine which color space is best for segmentation of rice disease. It included five color spaces; NTSC, CIE, YCbCr, HSV and the normalized RGB(NRGB). The results showed that YCbCr was the best color space for optimal segmentation of the disease lesions with 98.0% of accuracy. Furthermore, the proposed method demonstrated that diseases lesions of paddy rice can be segmented automatically and robustly.

Recently, as importance of quality control of the structure has been recognized, non-destructive testing, determining quality of the structure without damage, has been widely applied. However, its application has been primarily focused on laboratory development because variety of parameters in field has been not fully experienced and understood. This study aims to evaluate the field applicability of the ultrasonic testing method for PC beams. Material properties of 18 cylinders, cured in the same field condition, were measured up to 60 days and compared to those of the ultrasonic measurements from 34 PC beams in field before tensioning. Test results indicate that uni-axial strength and elastic modulus of PC beams can be predicted within reasonable range using the ultrasonic technique. However, it is also noted that considerations on field condition is required to increase the reliability of estimation.

In this study, the prediction methods for the crest settlement after impounding and the maximum internal settlement during dam construction were proposed through the analysis on settlement data at 46 monitored points of 37 Center-Cored Rockfill Dams (CCRDs). Results from this analysis provided that the crest settlement increases with elapsed time, and from the relationship between the dam height and the maximum internal settlement during dam construction, it is confirmed that the internal settlement was largely evaluated when the coarse-grained material was used as the dam core. This internal settlement increased in proportion to the dam height. In addition, the crest settlement of the CCRD with the core compacted with fine-grained material was relatively large. It is expected that the results of this study would provide the practical tool for the design, construction and management of CCRDs.
