In the network with small cell radius, a mobile terminal which has large mobility should perform frequent handover. This requires that handover mechanism must be done fastly. The currently existing method for handover uses an algorithm in which the bandwidth corresponding to the adjacent cells is supposed to be allocated. However, this method leads to the problem of requiring bandwidth allocation for many-unknown cells, due to the lack of information toward moving direction in mobile terminal. In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for solving those problem above, based on both path rerouting handover and soft handover mechanism with wireless ATM. As for the QoS, it has been shown that proposed algorithm shows better performance than that with static bandwidth allocation algorithm.

여러 정부부처 및 지자체에서 도시지역 홍수 피해 및 비점오염원 저감 방안의 해법으로 LID 시설의 설치를 권장하고 있다. 하지만 LID 기술의 국내 도입 기간이 짧아 우리나라 환경에 맞는 LID 시공을 할 수 있는 업체가 한정적이고 시공경험도 많지 않아 시공 비용에 대한 경제성 분석이 어렵다. 이러한 문제점으로 인해 LID 설치 비용의 과대 인식과 실효성에 대한 불안감이 만연하여 시설 설치에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이와 관련하여 GI&LID 연구단에서 LID 통합설계모듈 등의 모형 개발 연구가 활발히 진행중이나 이에 앞서 금번 연구에서는 SWMM 모형을 이용하여 분석을 수행하였고, 가시적인 비교가 용이하고 최근 가장 큰 피해를 가져왔던 2014년 홍수 사상을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 도시내 급경사면이 많고 불투수면적율이 높아 유속이 빠르고 완경사로 변화되는 구간에 홍수 및 토석류가 집중되어 홍수피해에 취약한 부산시 온천천 유역을 대상으로 LID 시설을 모의 설치 및 시뮬레이션 하고 재해연보 상의 홍수피해 복구액과 비교하였다. 이를 통해 LID 시설 설치시 비용-편익을 분석하고 이점을 제시하여 추후 있을 LID 시공 및 관련 연구에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Purpose: Focused ultrasound is an emerging technology for treating the brain locally in a noninvasive manner. In this study, we have investigated the influence of skull properties on simulating transcranial pressure field. Methods: A 3D computational model of transcranial focused ultrasound was constructed using female and male CT data to solve for intracranial pressure. For heterogeneous model, the acoustic properties were calculated from CT Hounsfield units based on a porosity. The homogeneous model assigned constant acoustic properties for the single-layered skull. Results: A computational model was validated against empirical data. The homogeneous models were then compared with the heterogeneous model, resulted in 10.87% and 7.19% differences in peak pressure for female and male models respectively. For the focal volume, homogeneous model demonstrated more than 94% overlap compared with the heterogeneous model. Conclusion: Homogeneous model can be constructed using MR images that are commonly used for the segmentation of the skull. We propose the possibility of the homogeneous model for the simulating transcranial pressure field owing to comparable focal volume between homogeneous model and heterogeneous model.

The commercialization has been of great importance to the clean energy research sector for investing the wind farm development, but it would be difficult to reach a social consensus on the need to expand the economic feasibility of renewable energy due to the lack of reliable and continuous information on levelized cost of Energy (LCOE). Regarding this fact, this paper presents the evaluation of LCOE, focusing on Ulsan offshore region targeting to build the first floating offshore wind farm. Energy production is estimated by the meteorology data combined with the Leanwind Project power curve of an exemplar wind turbine. This work aims to analyze the costs of the Capex depending on site-specific variables. The cost of final LCOE was estimated by using Monte-Carlo method, and it became an average range 297,090 KRW/MWh, a minimum of 251,080 KRW/MWh, and a maximum of 341,910 KRW/MWh. In the year 2021, the SMP (system marginal price) and 4.5 REC (renewable energy certificate) can be paid if 1 MWh of electricity is generated by renewable energy. Considering current SMP and REC price, the floating platform industry, which can earn around 502,000 KRW/MWh, can be finally estimated highly competitive in the Korean market.

Evaluation of three-dimensional ore body modeling has been performed by applying the geostatistical integration technique to multiple geophysical (electrical resistivity, MT) and geological (borehole data, physical properties of core) information. It was available to analyze the resistivity range in borehole and other area through multiple geophysical data. A correlation between resistivity and density from physical properties test of core was also analyzed. In the case study results, the resistivity value of ore body is decreased contrast to increase of the density, which seems to be related to a reason that the ore body (magnetite) includes heavy conductive component (Fe) in itself. Based on the lab test of physical properties in iron mine region, various geophysical, geological and borehole data were used to provide ore body modeling, that is electrical resistivity, MT, physical properties data, borehole data and grade data obtained from borehole data. Of the various geostatistical techniques for the integrated data analysis, in this study, the SGS (sequential Gaussian simulation) method was applied to describe the varying non-homogeneity depending on region through the realization that maintains the mean and variance. With the geostatistical simulation results of geophysical, geological and grade data, the location of residual ore body and ore body which is previously reported was confirmed. In addition, another highly probable region of iron ore bodies was estimated deeper depth in study area through integrated modeling.

In high static field magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) systems, $B_0$ fields of 7 T and 9.4 T, the impressed RF field shows larger inhomogeneity than in clinical MRI systems with B0 fields of 1.5 T and 3.0 T. In multi-channel RF coils, the magnitude and phase of the input to each coil element can be controlled independently to reduce the non-uniformity of the impressed RF $B_1^+$ field. The convex optimization technique has been used to obtain the optimum excitation parameters with iterative solutions for homogeneity in a selected ROI(Region of Interest). To demonstrate the technique, the multichannel transmission line coil was modeled together with a human head phantom at 400 MHz for the 9.4 T MRI system and $B_1^+$ fields are obtained. In this paper, all the optimized $B_1^+$ in each isolated ROIs are combined to achieve significantly improved homogeneity over the entire field of view. The simulation results for 9.4 T MRI systems are discussed in detail.

The result verification is necessary to support a guarantee for the correctness of the task results be executed by any unspecified resources in desktop grid environments. Typically, voting-based and trust-based result verification schemes have been used in the environments. However, these suffer from two potential problems: waste of resources due to redundant replicas of each task and increase in turnaround time due to the inability to deal with a dynamic changeable execution environment. To overcome these problems, we propose a fuzzy inference-based replication scheme which can adaptively determine the number of replicas per task by using both trusty degree and result return probability of resources. Therefore our proposal can reduce waste of resources by determining the number of replicas meeting with a dynamic execution environment of desktop grids, not to mention an enhancement of turnaround time for entire asks. Simulation results show that our scheme is superior to other ones in terms of turnaround time, the waste of resources, and the number of re-replications per task.
