In this paper, we propose a new location service and location-based routing for data dissemination from a source to a mobile group sink in less energy consumption of the sensor node. Unlike the existing protocols, the proposed protocol uses a leader sink instead of a group area as the location information to represent a mobile sink group. The proposed protocol also uses grid leaders on virtual grid structure to support sink mobility in location service. By using a leader sink as a representative and grid leaders for mobility supporting, the proposed protocol can exploit an efficient hierarchical location service and data dissemination method without using flooding. Accordingly, the proposed protocol carries out upper layer location services and data dissemination between a leader sink and a source and lower layer location services and data dissemination between the leader sink and member sinks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves energy-efficiency.

The Quantitative estimations of the stratification - destratification(SD) phenomena in Deukryang Bay, Korea have been carried out based on the data of wind speed, heat flux through the sea surface and tidal current amplitude. To find out the main factors causing SD, wv introduce the rate of energy balance of the surface heat flux, tidal and wind stirring proposed by Simpson and Hunter(1974). The calculated potential energy of three terms are compared, from which the energy of wind stirring effect was one order smaller than the heat flux and the tidal stirring. Using the results, we complement time integration of the potential energy with the several s values of 0.010~0.014 at interval 0.001 and with wind speeds of 1.5 and 2.0 times larger than observation values at land. It shows that the variation of SD phenomena in the bay mainly depended on tidal stirring and sea surface heating in summer if there is no exceptionally strong wind event like Typhoon. The stratification become to be foamed from about 5 July although the stratification a little decreases during the second spring tidal period of middle of July.

This paper proposes a method for 3-D sound source localization (SSL) using region selection and TDOA. 3-D SSL involves the estimation of an azimuth angle and an elevation angle. With the aim of reducing the computation time, we compare signal energies to select one out of three regions. In the selected region, we compute only one TDOA value for the azimuth angle estimation. Also, to estimate the vertical angle, we choose the higher energy signal from the selected region and pair it up with the elevated microphone's signal for TDOA computation and elevation angle estimation. Our experimental results show that the proposed method achieves average error values of $0.778^{\circ}$ in azimuth and $1.296^{\circ}$ in elevation, which is similar to other methods. The method uses one energy comparison and two TDOA computations therefore, the total processing time is reduced.

In ad-hoc networks, dynamically reconfigurable and temporary wireless networks, all mobile devices cooperatively maintain network connectivity with no assistance of base stations while they have limited amounts of energy that is used in different rates depending on the power level. Since every node has to perform the functions of a router, if some nodes die early due to lack of energy, it will not be possible for other nodes to communicate with each other and network lifetime will be shortened. Consequently, it is very important to develop a technique to efficiently consume the limited amounts of energy resources so that the network lifetime is maximized. In this paper, geographical localized routing is proposed to help making smarter routing decision using only local information and reduce the routing overhead. The proposed localized routing algorithm selects energy-aware neighbors considering the transmission energy and error rate over the wireless link, and the residual energy of the node, which enables nodes to achieve balanced energy-consumption and the network lifetime to prolong.

보통의 소형의 펑스발생장치로서는 일반적으로 콘덴서를 에너지축적소자로서 사용함이 간단하나, 출력이 10MJ 이상의 대형이 되면 이상의 대형이 되면 콘덴서로서는 축적에너지밀도가 낮고 고유체적도 커지며, 고가로 되는 단점이 크게 대두하게 된다. 이와 같은 경우에는 코일을 에너지축적소자로 사용하는 방법과, 단극발전기와 공심코일을 결함한 펄스발생전원, 또 compulsator를 사용한 전원을 이용함이 소형 및 저렴해지리라고 사료된다. 특히 compulsator는 그 기술이 개발된지도 십여년으로 얼마되지 않으며, 금후 가장 중요하고 각광받는 고출력 펄스에너지발생장치로서의 위치가 굳어지리라고 사료되므로 이 분야에 젊은 학자들의 많은 참여와 큰 노력을 기대해 본다.

LPMS(Loose Part Monitoring System)는 원자로 및 냉각재계통내에서 발생하는 금속파편의 검출 및 분석을 위하여 사용되는 진단 장비이다. 본 논문에서는 RPV(Reactor Pressure Vessel)의 상부헤드(closure head)와 하부헤드(lower head)에서의 금속파편의 충격위치를 평가하는 LPMS를 위한 새로운 기법을 제안하고, Mock-up에서의 실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 검증하였다. 즉, 수정된 원교차법을 제안하고, 이를 반구로 모델링된 RPV의 상ㆍ하부헤드에 존재하는 금속파편의 위치평가에 적용하므로써 정확한 충격위치를 찾을 수 있음을 보였다. 이들 결과는 충격물질의 질량이나 에너지를 계산하는데 정확한 정보를 제공해 줄 수가 있다.

As smart grid techniques developed, public attention is concentrating on energy efficiency. So it is necessary to study on new renewable energy in order to manage the energy within micro grid consisting smart grid. Among them, small hydro energy has the advantage of being installable anywhere depending the amount of water used by the users within micro grid. This study examines if the measured value is appropriate for small hydro power generation by measuring generation quantity and operation rate of generator based on the sewage flow used by apartments and multi-unit dwellings where those users live. Some appropriate apartments and multi-unit dwellings generate electricity with small hydro generator using sewage as potential energy. This study intends to suggest more effective management by introducing energy management system and electricity storage device of micro grid.

This research empirically analyzed the factors associated with the energy consumption of tourism hotels in Busan, Ulsan, and the Kyoungnam region of Korea based on their individual and locational characteristics. The study adopted a comprehensive modeling approach involving multi-level regression analyses that allowed for improved accuracy by considering the hierarchical structures of the hotels and their locational characteristics. The results indicated that the majority of energy consumption can be explained by the hotels'individual characteristics, including the size of building structure and the services, while their effects vary by region with statistical significance. Furthermore, the proximity to central commercial districts and hotel clusters had a significant influence on the variability in their energy consumption, indicating that locational factors are also important determinants. The findings here suggest the need for regional energy policies and solutions at various urban scales along with conventional energy policies at the building level and highlight regional responsibilities when attempting to create sustainable tourism industries.

무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 이동 호스트의 에너지는 중요한 요소로 간주된다. 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크에서는 이동 호스트들이 라우팅 역할을 수행해야 하므로 네트워크 구조와 노드들의 위치에 따라 각 노드들의 라우팅 역할수해에 필요한 에너지의 양에 차이가 있게 된다. 즉, 메시지가 자주 전송되는 경로에 있는 노드들은 라우팅 역할을 수행하면서 많은 에너지를 소비하게 되고, 메시지가 적게 전송되는 경로에 있는 노드들은 상대적으로 적은 에너지를 소비하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 에너지가 적은 노드의 라우팅 역할을 에너지가 많은 노드로 전이시켜 에너지가 적은 노드의 라우팅 에너지 소비를 줄이는 기법을 제안한다. 본 제안 기법에서는 특정 노드의 라우팅 역할을 다른 노드로 전이할 때 부가적인 지역 메시지의 송수신이 필요하게 되어 전이 프로토콜에 참여하는 노드들의 에너지 소비가 전체적으로 증가될 수 있다. 하지만, 이 기법은 전체 시스템에 존재하는 노드들의 에너지 양을 균등화시킴으로서 라우팅으로 인한 에너지 소비가 많은 노드의 수명을 연장시킬 수 있게 하여, 상대적으로 많은 노드들이 라우팅에 오랫동안 참여할 수 있게 하고 시스템의 성능과 수명을 향상시킬 수 있게 한다.
