In this paper, an energy efficient clustering scheme using self organization method is proposed. The proposed scheme selects a cluster head considering not only the number of neighbor nodes but also the residual battery amount. In addition, the network life time is extended by re-selecting the cluster heads only in case the current cluster head's residual energy falls down below a certain threshold level. Accordingly, the energy consumption is evenly distributed over the entire network nodes. The cluster head delivers the collected data from member nodes to a Sink node in a way of multi-hop relaying. In order to evaluate the proposed scheme, we run computer simulation in terms of the total residual amount of battery, the number of alive nodes after a certain amount of time, the accumulated energy cost for network configuration, and the deviation of energy consumption of all nodes, comparing with LEACH which is one of the most popular network clustering schemes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has twice network life-time of LEACH scheme and has much more evenly distributed energy consumption over the entire network.

This study compares and analyzes the performance of a shield manufactured using 3D printing technology to find out its applicability as a shield in high-energy electron beam therapy. Actual measurement and monte carlo simulations were performed to evaluate the shielding performance of 3D printing materials for high-energy electron beams. First, in order to secure reliability for the simulation, a source term evaluation was conducted by referring to the IAEA's TRS-398 recommendation. Second, to analyze the shielding performance of PLA+W (93%), a specimen was manufactured using a 3D printer, and the shielding rate by thickness according to electron beam energy was evaluated. Third, the shielding thickness required for electron beam treatment was calculated through a comparative analysis of shielding performance between PLA+W (93%) and existing shielding bodies. First, as a result of the evaluation of the source term through actual measurement and simulation, the TRS-398 recommendation was satisfied with an error of less than 1%, thereby securing the reliability of the simulation. Second, as a result of the shielding performance analysis for PLA+W (93%), 6 MeV electron beams showed a shielding rate of more than 95% at 3.12 mm, and 15 MeV electron beams showed a shielding rate of more than 90% at 10 mm thickness. Third, through simulations, comparative analysis between PLA+W (93%) materials and existing shields showed high shielding rates within the same thickness in the order of tungsten, lead, copper, PLA+W (93%), and aluminum. 6 MeV electron beams showed almost similar shielding rates at 5 mm or more and 15 MeV electron beams. Through this study in the future, it is judged that it can be used as basic data for the production and application of shielding bodies using PLA+W (93%) materials in high-energy electron beam treatment.

본 논문에서는 이동 에드 혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad-hoc network: MANET)에서의 상황인식 기반의 에너지 스케쥴링 기법인 ESWC(Energy Scheduling Weighted-value Control) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 MANET에서 노드의 에너지를 관리하기 위한 여러 가지의 방법들이 제안 되고 있다. 특히 이동노드들의 경우 이동성에 따라 에너지 소모율이 다르며, 이때 상호 노드간 전송하는 데이터와 상호 위치에 따라 에너지 소모율은 다르게 된다. 본 논문에서는 계층적 클러스터 단위의 동적인 토폴로지에서 전송 거리와 전송 데이터의 패킷량이 어떠한 상호관계에 따라 노드의 소모 에너지에 미치는 영향이 있는지를 분석한다. ESWC에서 도출된 에너지의 가중치 결과는 최종적으로 전송 경로에 있어 에너지 소모율을 분석하여 네트워크상에서 전체적인 노드의 라이프타임을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 주어진 모의실험환경에서 노드의 방향성 및 시간에 따른 이동성을 반영함으로써 에너지 효율적인 클러스터링 및 라우팅 경로 알고리즘이 제공되어 네트워크의 최적화된 에너지 소모 결과를 보여주었다.

One of the important issues of in this research is effective usage of energy to increase life time of nodes which form a network. Existing LEEM protocol causes unnecessary active time due to small packets with shorter transfer time than active interval period of node and packets with transfer time of more than twice of active interval period of node. In this paper, we propose Energy-Efficient MAC by Reservation (EEMR) protocol which can increase energy effectiveness in wireless sensor network environment by reducing unnecessary active time using a method that reserves next-hop depend upon the size of packet. We evaluated effectiveness of our proposed method through experiments. The result showed that using EEMR protocol had better energy effectiveness than existing LEEM protocol by 15%.

In this work, we consider the effect of the presheath on the ion angular distribution. The recent shows the ion-neutral collision in the presheath and the calculated energy flux with the ion angular distribution at the presheath edge in plasma reactor. We also propose a new approximation analytical model for the ion angular distribution and the energy flux distribution with ion temperature. The ion passing the presheath region, Shows a ion scattering effect without ion-neutral collisions. This because the kinetic energy by the ambipolar diffusion field is changed by the gas collision,. Using the proposed approximation analytical model, we show the simulated results of a deposit profile on variable trench shape.

This study was conducted to estimate the feasibility using thermal image measurement that is applicable to internal leak diagnosis for the power plant valve. Abnormal heating of valve surface associated with high temperature steam f10w toward valve outlet side in the condition of low temperature is a primary indicator of leakage problems in high temperature and pressure valves. Thermal imaging enables to see the invisible thermal radiation that may portend impending damage before their condition becomes critical. When steam flow in valve outlet side in the condition of low temperature is converted into heat transmitted through the valve body due to the internal leakage in valve. The existence of abnormally increasable leakage rate in the valve will result in abnormally high levels of heat to be generated that can be quickly identified with a thermal image avoiding energy loss or damage of valve component. From the experimental results, it was suggested that the thermal image measurement could be an effective way to precisely diagnose and evaluate internal leak situation of valve.
