Previous studies show that driver mental workload plays a significant role in the occurrence of traffic accidents. This study also analyzes driving workload under different road conditions especially with the brain wave data collected by a driving simulator. We use a logistic regression model to explain the relationship between driving workload and gamma brain waves. The results show that beta band of brain waves becomes broader with more curved sections while alpha band and gamma band become narrower. Since driving workload is negatively correlated with gamma band, it can be concluded that driving condition with less curved section is beneficial for reducing driving stress and increasing driving comfort.

In this paper, a methodology for the power control of a wind turbine, which is the variable-speed and variable-pitch (VSVP) control system, is introduced. This control methodology maximizes the capability of the turbine to extract maximum power from the wind in the regions with low wind speeds. Further, it regulates the wind-turbine power as the rated power in the case of the regions with high wind speeds. A simple drive train model is used to design the VSVP control system. The methodology for VSVP control is mechanized by controlling the generator torque and blade pitch. Finally, some simulation results for the VSVP control to a MW wind turbine are discussed in this paper.

We investigated turfgrass diseases and inoculum density at nationwide turfgrass cultivation sites in year of 2013. Occurrences of large patch and rust disease appeared in September. Brown patch recorded in September to October at Namhea and Pythium blight disease occurred outbreaks in early July at Namhea site. Some sites in Namhea damaged 3% area of total cultivation field by Sclerotinia homoeocarp. In Daepyeong (Gyeongnam), Fairy ring and large patch were recorded. Severe takeall and fairy ring have been observed in Gochang-si. Multi-site in Cheongju-si, brown patch was observed in pandemic level. Interesting enough, a cool-season turfgrass cultivate sites in Pyeongtaek-si brown patch, leaf blast, summer patch, and Curvularia leaf spot were investigated during the surveys period. Inoculum densities (Rhizoctonia spp.) at turfgrass cultivations sites were increased as cumulatively in all survey sites. The investigation result indicated that the disease occurrence and pathogens are similar as diseases in golf courses.

KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket - III), which is being developed by Space Technology R&D Division of KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) will be launched in late 2002. It is a three-stage, liquid propellant rocket which can reach 250 km altitude and will carry out observation of ozone layer and scientific experiments, such as microgravity experiment, and atmospheric measurement. KSR-III is believed to be an intermediate to the launch vehicle capable of carrying a satellite to its orbit. Space Test Department of KARI performed GVT(Ground Vibration Test) fer KSR-III EM at Rocket Test Building of KARI. GVT is very important for predicting the behavior of rocket in its operation, developing flight control program and performing aerodynamic analysis. This paper gives an introduction of rocket GVT configuration and information on test procedures, techniques and results of It. In this test. to simulate free-free condition, test object hung in the air laterally by 4 bungee cords specially devised. For the excitation of test object, pure random signal by two electromagnetic shakers was used and total 22 frequency response functions were achieved. Polyreference parameter estimation was performed to identify the modal parameters with MIMO(Multi-Input-Multi-Output) method. As the result of the test, low frequency mode shapes and modal parameters below 60Hz were identified

The primary objective of this study is to characterize traffic axle loadings that consider Korea specific traffic conditions for developing mechanistic-based pavement design method as a part of Korea Pavement Research Program(KPRP). Although the concept of equivalent single axle load(ESAL) has been generally used since the 1960s for the pavement design, the mechanistic-based pavement design procedure requires more accurate axle loading data on the specific pavement. In this study, axle loading data were collected according to vehicle type and highway functional classification. Axle-load spectrum was then standardized by cumulative density function(cdf), because the axle load spectrum could vary from the observed site, truck traffic volume, and truck type, Finally, this study presented the procedure and S-shaped exponential models for characterizing axle load spectra according to vehicle type and highway functional classification.

Emotional image quality optimization methodologies are investigated using technological image quality controls based on the eye tests of various image samples. The images are evaluated based on various contrast, lightness and saturation image quality metric tone curves. The order of importance to image quality enhancements is contrast, saturation and brightness. The slopes of emotional image qualities with respect to technical image quality metric changes are found to be composed of mathematical function modelling with nearly zero, intermediate and maximum slope regions in general, which can reflect well known log and saturated as well as conventional reverse U shape natures. Image quality improvements are analyzed not only with just single but also with multiple image quality metrics. To ease the unified image quality metric analysis and control, a new function is presented to utilize both the newly found and conventional emotional image quality behaviors. It is found that the overall image quality enhancement can be realized only in a few limited cases of multiple image quality metric controls. It is also found that the kinds of image quality enhancement methodologies are not strongly dependent on image contents (genre).

This paper describes an IEEE 802.15.4-based hierarchical sensor network model for a VAWS(Vehicle Approach Warning System) which provides the drivers of vehicles approaching a sharp turn with the information about vehicles approaching the same turn from the opposite end. In the proposed network model, a tree-structured topology, that can prolong the lifetime of network is formed in a self-organizing manner by a topology control protocol. A simple but efficient routing protocol, that creates and maintains routing tables based on the network topology organized by the topology control protocol, transports data packets generated from the sensor nodes to the base station which then forwards it to a display processor. These protocols are designed as a network layer extension to the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC. In the simulation, which models a scenario with a sharp turn, it is shown that the proposed network model achieves a high-level performance in terms of both energy efficiency and throughput simultaneously.

In an optical observing system, three pairs of observations at equal time intervals are required for the orbit determination method to obtain orbital information of an unknown space objects. In this paper, we propose a method of estimating a streak for acquiring three pairs of observations using one streak image information. Satellite trajectory simulation data were generated for nine cases using the STK program in order to verify the characteristics of the orbit of space object and estimation performance. Simulation was performed by applying three approaches that can estimate the next streak position after a few seconds from one streak image information, and the estimation performance was evaluated. Linear vector method and Kalman Filter method based on the linear assumption tend to increase the estimation error in the region where the nonlinearity is large. However estimation method using the polynomial curve fitting based on the least square method showed smaller and uniform error result than the previous methods.

In using elliptic curves in cryptography, it is important to find a secure elliptic curve. The security of elliptic curve cryptosystem is dependent on the cardinality of the given curve. So, it is necessary to count the number of points of a given elliptic curve to obtain secure curve. It is hewn that when the charateristic is two, the most efficient algorithm finding secure curves is combining the Satoh-FGH algorithm with early-abort strategy$^[1]$. In［1］, the authors wrote that they modified SEA algorithm used in early-abort strategy, but they didn't describe the varaint of SEA algorithm. In this paper, we present some modifications of SEA algorithm and show the result of our implementation.

This study is about an antenna implemented in the form of a monopole having a hexagonal symmetric pattern by simplifying the modified Hilbert curve fractal monopole structure. The modified Hilbert curve fractal monopole structure was simplified and miniaturized, and the radiator was implemented in a hexagonal symmetrical pattern to improve performance. The dielectric constant of substrate is 4.7, and the total line length with a meander-shaped symmetrical structure is 59 mm. The size of the antenna is 10 mm × 10 mm × 0.8 mm, and the line width is 0.4 mm. The size of the antenna measuring jig is 64 mm × 21 mm × 1 mm. The resonant frequency is 1.57 GHz, and the frequency range is 1.51 to 1.615 GHz. The frequency bandwidth is 105 MHz. As for the antenna gain, the measurement gain of the YZ-plane was 2.32 dBi, and that of the XZ-plane was -1.03 dBi. As a result, we confirmed that antenna miniaturization is possible using a hexagonal symmetric pattern fractal structure. In addition, we confirmed that the antenna performance can be easily improved by changing the structure of the radiator.
