Korean government has promoted nationwide Eco Industrial Park (EIP) project to recycle by-products and wastes in industrial park since 2010. However, the corresponding management is insufficient to support the project. Considering the efficiency and effectiveness, GIS-based management can be an alternative of the current status. This study has focused on the construction of recycling network based on EIP using GIS approach. Two industrial parks located in Gyeonggi province were selected as study sites. GIS-based spatial location analysis was performed to determine the optimal location of recycling company, and to identify linkage of one manufacture to the other manufacturers based on the types of waste. Also, the optimal network for recycling of waste heat was established. Finally, the feasibility of the current GIS-based recycling network was established by performing benefit-cost analysis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of urban heat island considering urban space at nighttime. We used to analyze landuse and landcover data of 1:1,000 scale, DTM, and surface temperature extracted ASTER image satellite of nighttime. According to the analytical results, heat intensity in single-family residential is higher than that in industrial area, public facility area, and commercial area because the anthropogenic heat by energy consumption is released. Likewise, the temperature difference were big in the buildings of industrial area depending on operating hours. Meanwhile, green and river area had cooling impacts mitigating the urban heat island. Therefore, we have to mitigate heat intensity through constructing green space and waterfront area. As mentioned above, we think that the results of this study will be used as base data for effective spatial planning when formulating development planning to mitigate urban heat island at nighttime.

본 연구에서는 Si(111) 기판에 성장온도 및 InN 증착양 변화에 따른 InN 양자점(Quantum Dot) 핵성생(Nucleation) 특성에 대해 논의한다. InN 양자점은 Nitrogen-Plasma 소스를 장착한 분자선증착기(MBE)를 이용하여 $0.103{\AA}/s$의 성장속도로 성장하였다. 성장온도를 $700^{\circ}C$에서 $300^{\circ}C$로 변환하면서 형성한 시료에서 lnN 양자점의 공간밀도는 $9.4{\times}10^7/cm^2$부터 $1.1{\times}10^{11}/cm^2$를 나타냈다. 가장 높은 공간밀도인 $1.1{\times}10^{11}/cm^2$는 기존에 보고된 값 ($7.7{\times}10^{10}/cm^2$)보다 상대적으로 높은 값을 갖는다 [1,2]. InN 증착양을 93, 186, 및 $372{\AA}/s$으로 각각 변화시켜 형성하여 양자점의 초기 성장거동을 분석하였다. InN 증착양이 증가함에 따라 양자점의 공간밀도는 $4.4{\times}10^{10}/cm^2$에 $6.4{\times}10^{10}/cm^2$까지 증가하였다. 일반적으로 InP 및 GaAs 기판을 기반으로 한 In(Ga)As 양자점은 증착양이 증가함에 따라 밀도는 감소하고 크기는 증가하는 경향을 보이며, 이는 같은 상 (Phase)을 갖는 물질들끼리 결합하려는 경향이 있기 때문이다. 본 실험에서는 기존 결과와 다른 경향을 보이고 있는데, 이는 Si(111) 기판과 InN 사이의 격자부정합이 상대적으로 크기 때문에 InN 양자구조가 커지는 대신 추가로 새로운 핵생성 메커니즘에 의한 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 이러한 InN 증착양에 따른 InN 양자점 성장거동을 표면에너지를 포함한 이론적인 모델을 통해 논의하고자 한다.

Tongue image segmentation is critical for automation of the tongue diagnosis system. However, most image segmentation methods for tongue diagnosis systems in oriental medicine have been proposed as user-based manual types or semi-automatic types. This study proposed a new method for tongue image segmentation, which is the most important image processing stage for complete automation of the tongue diagnosis system in oriental medicine. The proposed method improved the conventional snake algorithm, by making improvement on the internal energy function so that, as the points move outward reversely, the snake energy function is minimized, by using the image characteristics of tongue images. To calculate external energy, hierarchical spatial filtering is applied to ensure resistance against noise. Also, The proposed method was tested by using sample images and actual images, and showed more robustness against the background noise than the conventional snake algorithm. And, when one selected point was moved by the improved snake algorithm, energy values at the starting, middle, and end points were analyzed, and showed robustness that does not fall in the local minima.

Several researchers have pointed out that the energy consumption in memory takes a dominant fraction on the energy budget of a whole embedded system. This applies to the embedded Java virtual machine tn, and to develop a more energy-efficient JVM it is absolutely necessary to optimize the energy usage in Jana memory. In this paper we have analyzed the logical memory access pattern in JVM as it executes numerous number of bytecode instructions while running a Java program. The access pattern gives us an insight how to design and select a suitable memory technology for Java memory. We present the memory access pattern for the three logical data spaces of JVM: heap, operand stack, and local variable array. The result saws that operand stack is accessed most frequently and uniformly, whereas heap used least frequently and non-uniformly among the three. Both heap and local variable array are accessed mostly in read-only fashion, but no remarkable difference is found between read and write operations for operand stack usage.

Early fire detection is very important to avoid loss of lives and material damage. The conventional smoke detector sensors have difficulties in detecting smoke in large outdoor areas. The video-based smoke detection can overcome these drawbacks. This paper proposes a new smoke detection method in video sequences. It uses the ratio of variation rate of subband energy in the wavelet transform domain. In order to reduce the false alarm, candidate smoke blocks are detected by using motion, decrease of chromaticity and the average intensity of block in the YUV color space. Finally, it decides whether the candidate smoke blocks are smokes or not by using their temporal changes of subband energies in the wavelet transform domain. Experimental results show that the proposed method noticeably increases the accuracy of smoke detection and reduces false alarm compared with the conventional smoke detection methods using wavelets.

This paper presents a design methodology for improving the energy efficiency by considering the inertial properties of serial manipulators. This method employed is to put the inertia matrix, which has a critical effect on the equation of motion, into the constraints of the optimization problem. Through the optimization process, we propose a design algorithm that can double-check whether the optimized parameters satisfy the required performance or not by using an auxiliary index associated with the inertia and energy. Using this design algorithm, we were able to improve the energy efficiency by minimizing the torque. We applied this method to a 3 degrees of freedom serial manipulator and simulated it.

The availability of thermal energy has been widely recognized recently, and the cascade usage of thermal energy from combustion has been encouraged. Within this framework, a 1-kW-class Stirling-engine.based cogeneration system has been proposed as a unit of a distributed energy system. The capacity has been designed to be adequate for domestic usage, which requires high compactness as well as low emissions and noise. To develop a highly efficient system satisfying these requirements, a premixed slot-type short-flame burner has been proposed, and a series of experiments has been performed to understand its combustion characteristics. Flame images have been captured to observe the dependence of the flame mode on the combustion load and air/fuel ratio. The exhaust gas has been sampled and analyzed to study the emission characteristics for each flame mode.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the lighting dimming rates with various parameters of the building skin in a small office. We compared to simulated workplane illuminance and measured workplane illuminance for the base model. After that, the five veriables(the presence of vertical wall in double skin facade, the presence of windowsill, window to wall ratio(WWR), window visible transmittance, the width of double skin facade) were applied to base model, and we analyzed the simulated lighting energy saving rates. The results are listed as below. The simulated workplane illuminance results are similar to the measurement. Simulated illuminance was smaller than measured illuminance by 16.5%(60 lx). In accordance with applicable building skin parameters, lighting energy saving rate results are summarized as follows. Lighting energy saving rate of case1(windowsill height 0.7m) is higher than that of base case(windowsill and vertical wall) by 7.3% and the lighting energy saving rate of case2(no vertical wall) is higher than that of base case by 7.6% and the lighting energy saving rate of case3(no windowsill and vertical wall) is higher than that of base case by 12.4%. The lighting energy saving rate is increased by 2.3%, when window visible transmittance is increased from 70% to 86%. The lighting energy saving rate is increased by 4.6%, when we changed the WWR 70% to 90%. lighting energy savings rate is increased by 6.5%, when the width of double skin facade is reduced from 1m to 0.3m.

Mechanical energy is accumulated in the object when stress is exerted on rock specimens, and the failure is occurred when the stress is larger than critical stress. The accumulated energy is emitted as various forms including physical deformation, light, heat and sound. Uniaxial compression strength test and point load strength test were carried out in low temperature environment, and thermal variation of rock specimens were observed and analyzed quantitatively using thermal infrared camera images. Temperature of failure plane was increased just before the failure because of concentration of stress, and was rapidly increased at the moment of the failure because of the emission of thermal energy. The variations of temperature were larger in diorite and basalt specimens which were strong and fresh than in tuff specimens which were weak and weathered. This study can be applied to prevent disasters in rock slope, tunnel and mine in cold regions and to analyze satellite image for predicting earthquake in cold regions.
