Multi-spectral analyses of excitation and emission fluorescence was applied to spilled crude oils in characterization of their specific fluorescence patterns which is called oil fingerprints. In the present study, oil fingerprints of 33 crude, 4 fuel and 2 other oils were analyzed to establish data base library search system. Cluster analysis showed that crude oils could be classified into two large groups according to their fluorescence characteristics. In simulated experiments, all the spilled sources was identifiable by the present library search system. In the natural environment this system could identify the exact source of weathered crude oil slicks upton 10 days. The present study shows that the fluorescence fingerprinting method with the library search system is reliable and superior to toutine GC/HPLC analyses in identification of the source of weathered spilled oils in the marine environment.

A hybrid forecasting scheme based on wavelet decomposition coupled to a support vector machine model is presented for water demand series that exhibit nonlinear behavior. The use of wavelet transform followed by the SVM model of each leading component is explored as a model for water demand data. The proposed forecasting model yields better results than a traditional ARIMA time series forecasting model in terms of self-prediction problem as well as reproducing the properties of the observed water demand data by making use of the advantages of wavelet transform and SVM model. The proposed model can be used to substantially and significantly improve the water demand forecasting and utilized in a real operation.

Content adaptive watermark embedding algorithm using a stochastic image model in the multiwavelet transform is proposed in this paper. A watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSCs) of each subband using multiwavelet transform. The PSCs in high frequency subband are selected by SSQ, that is, by setting the thresholds as the one half of the largest coefficient in each subband. The perceptual model is applied with a stochastic approach based on noise visibility function (NVF) that has local image properties for watermark embedding. This model uses stationary Generalized Gaussian model characteristic because watermark has noise properties. The watermark estimation use shape parameter and variance of subband region. it is derive content adaptive criteria according to edge and texture, and flat region. The experiment results of the proposed watermark embedding method based on multiwavelet transform techniques were found to be excellent invisibility and robustness.

We have designed a high resolution proton and electron telescope for the detection of high energy particles, which constitute a major part of the space environment. The flux of the particles, in the satellite orbits, can vary abruptly according to the position and solar activities. In this study, a conceptual design of the detector, for adapting these variations with a high energy resolution, was made and the performance was estimated. In addition, a parallel processing algorithm was devised and embodied using FPGA for the high speed data processing, capable of detecting high flux without losing energy resolution, on board a satellite.

The Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) from GPS with high resolution in terms of time and space might reduce the limitations of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model for easily variable phenomena, such as precipitation and cloud. We have converted to PWV from Global Positioning System (GPS) data of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and Ministry of Maritime Affairs & Fisheries (MOMAF). First of all, we have selected the heavy rainfall case of having a predictability limitation in time and space due to small-scale motion. In order to evaluate the effect for GPS PWV, we have executed the sensitivity experiment with PWV from GPS data over Korean peninsula in the Weather Research & Forecasting 3-Dimensional Variational (WRF-3DVAR). We have also suggested the direction of further research for an improvement of the predictability of NWP model on the basis of this case.

The detectability of radar depends on RCS(radar cross section). The RCS for complex radar targets may be only approximately calculated by using low-frequency or high-frequency scattering methods, while the RCS for simple radar targets can be exactly obtained by applying on eigen-function method. However, the conventional methods for calculation of RCS are computationally complex. We propose an radar signal model for RCS calculation by MUSIC algorithm In this research, it is assumed that the radar target is considered as a ring of scatterers. The amplitudes of scatterers may be statistically distributed. As the result, the radar signal model is proposed to use MUSIC, and the RCS is calculated by a simple linear algebraic method.

Various wastewater treatment technologies were applied for decolorization and disposal of the wastewater containing the pigments, which consist of Lake Red C(Barium) or/and Lithol Rubine(Calcium) pigments. In an application of ozonation $COD_{Mn}$ was generally decreased with an increase of amounts of ozone applied, however, the decolorization effect was not that good except for Lithol Rubine series. In an application of Fenton oxidation and electrochemical process, a good $COD_{Mn}$ removal effect for all the pigment wastewater and a slight decolorization effect for a part of Lithol Rubine series were observed. In an application of ultra filtration(UF) and reverse osmosis(RO), an excellent $COD_{Mn}$ removal and decolorization(almost 100%) effects of all the pigment wastewater were observed. Thus the water treated by the UF and RO could be reusable and thus save operating costs of the pigment manufacturing plants.

Naval maintenance system carries out repairs of battle ships. Korean Navy has four maintenance stations to maximize the readiness of the battle ships. Since each station can provide different services according to characteristics(specific size of ships, type of maintenances) and the maintenance ability of stations is predetermined, it has been one of complex problems for the Korean Navy to find the optimal resource allocation. We investigate the operation of the stations from the perspective of the human resource allocation which plays crucial role in the performance of the maintenance stations. Using a queueing model and optimization technique, we present a way to derive the optimal personnel allocation which minimize the waiting number of battle ships at each station, leading to the improvement of the military readiness in the Korean Navy.

In this paper, we propose a distributed user scheduling with transmit power control based on the amount of generating interference to other base stations (BSs) in multi-cell multi-input multi-output (MIMO) networks. Assuming that the time-division duplexing (TDD) system is used, the interference channel from users to other cell BSs is obtained at each user. In the proposed scheduling, each user first generates a transmit beamforming vector by using singular value decompositon (SVD) over MIMO channels and reduces the transmit power if its generating interference to other BSs is larger than a predetermined threshold. Each BS selects the user with the largest effective channel gains among users, which reflects the adjusted power of users. Simulation results show that the proposed technique significantly outperforms the existing user scheduling algorithms.

We propose a content-based image retrieval(CBIR) method based on an efncient combination of a color feature and multiresolution texture features. As a color feature, a HSV autocorrelograrn is chosen which is blown to measure spatial correlation of colors well. As texture features, BDIP and BVLC moments are chosen which is hewn to measure local intensity variations well and measure local texture smoothness well, respectively. The texture features are obtained in a wavelet pyramid of the luminance component of a color image. The extracted features are combined for efficient similarity computation by the normalization depending on their dimensions and standard deviation vectors. Experimental results show that the proposed method yielded average $8\%\;and\;11\%$ better performance in precision vs. recall than the method using BDIPBVLC moments and the method using color autocorrelograrn, respectively and yielded at least $10\%$ better performance than the methods using wavelet moments, CSD, color histogram. Specially, the proposed method shows an excellent performance over the other methods in image DBs contained images of various resolutions.
