A conventional max SNR scheme, which allocates uplink resources to the user with the highest gain of desired signal channel with a serving base station (BS), exhibits excellent performance in low interference environments. On the other hand, max SGIR scheme, which allocates resources by considering both the desired signal chanel gain and users' interference generating to neighboring BSs, outperforms the max SNR in high interference environments. The conventional two scheduling schemes exhibit optimal performance in different interference environments. Thus, we propose an adaptive scheduling scheme in order to overcome disadvantages of the conventional schemes. In the proposed scheme, a user is selected by max SNR and then the user's generating interference is compared with a pre-determined threshold value. If the generating interference is larger than a pre-determined threshold, then a user is re-selected by max SGIR policy. Monte-Carlo simulation results reveals that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional schemes in various interference environments.

In the ocean, it is difficult to separate the effects of one cause due to the multiple causes, but the self-organizing map can be analyzed by adding other factors to the cluster result. Therefore, in this study, the results of the clustering of sea level data were applied to sea surface temperature. Sea level data was clustered into a total of 6 nodes. The difference between sea surface temperature and sea level height has a one-month delay, which applied sea surface temperature data a month ago to the clustered results. As a result of comparing the mean of sea surface temperature of 140 to 150°E, where the sea surface temperature was variously distributed, in the case of nodes 1, 3, and 5, it was possible to find a meandering sea surface temperature distribution that is clearly distinguished from the sea level data. While nodes 2, 4 and 6, the sea surface temperature distribution was smooth. In this study, sea surface temperature data were applied to the clustered results of sea level data, but later it is necessary to apply wind or geostrophic velocity data to compare.

In this paper, we analyze the orbital variation of the Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite-1(KOMPSAT-1) in a strong space environment due to satellite drag by solar and geomagnetic activities. The satellite drag usually occurs slowly, but becomes serious satellite drag when the space environment suddenly changes via strong solar activity like a big flare eruption or coronal mass ejections(CMEs). Especially, KOMPSAT-1 as a low earth orbit satellite has a distinct increase of the drag acceleration by the variations of atmospheric friction. We consider factors of solar activity to have serious effects on the satellite drag from two points of view. One is an effect of high energy radiation when the flare occurs in the Sun. This radiation heats and expands the upper atmosphere of the Earth as the number of neutral particles is suddenly increased. The other is an effect of Joule and precipitating particle heating caused by current of plasma and precipitation of particles during geomagnetic storms by CMEs. It also affects the density of neutral particles by heating the upper atmo-sphere. We investigate the satellite drag acceleration associated with the two factors for five events selected based on solar and geomagnetic data from 2001 to 2002. The major results can be summarized as follows. First, the drag acceleration started to increase with solar EUV radiation with the best cross-correlation (r = 0.92) for 1 day delayed F10.7. Second, the drag acceleration and Dst index have similar patterns when the geomagnetic storm is dominant and the drag acceleration abruptly increases during the strong geomagnetic storm. Third, the background variation of the drag accelerations is governed by the solar radiation, while their short term (less than a day) variations is governed by geomagnetic storms.

The purpose of this study was to identify different cerebral areas of the human brain associated with rural and urban picture stimulation using a 3.0 Tesla functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and further to investigate the human suitability for rural and urban environments. A total of 27 right-handed participants (mean age: $27.3{\pm}3.7$) underwent fMRI study on a 3.0T MR scanner. The brain activation patterns were induced by visual stimulation with each rural and urban sceneries. The participants were divided into two groups as 26 subjects favorable to rural scenery and 14 subjects unfavorable to urban scenery based on their filled-in questionnaire. The differences of the brain activation in response to two extreme types of pictures by the two sample t-test were characterized as follows: the activation areas observed in rural scenery over urban were the insula, middle frontal gyrus, precuneus, caudate nucleus, superior parietal gyrus, superior occipital gyrus, fusiform gyrus, and globus pallidus. In urban scenery over rural, the inferior frontal gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, postcentral gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, amygdala, and posterior cingulate gyrus were activated. The fMRI patterns also clearly show that rural scenery elevated positive emotion such as happiness and comfort. On the contrary, urban scenery elevated negative emotion, resulting in activation of the amygdala which is the key region for the feelings of fear, anxiety and unpleasantness. This study evaluated differential cerebral areas of the human brain associated with rural and urban picture stimulation using a 3.0 Tesla fMRI. These findings will be useful as an objective evaluation guide to human suitability for ecological environments that are related to brain activation with joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure.

This research measured and visualized the spatial dependency and the spatial heterogeneity of the small business in Cheonan-si, Asan-si with $100m{\times}100m$ grids based on global and local spatial autocorrelation. First, we confirmed positive spatial autocorrelation of small business in the research area using Moran's I Index, which is ESDA(Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis). And then, through Getis-Ord $GI{\ast}$, one kind of LISA(Local Indicators of Spatial Association), local patterns of spatial autocorrelation were visualized. These verified that Spatial Regression Model is valid for the location factor analysis on small business commercial buildings. Next, GWR(Geographically Weighted Regression) was used to analyze the spatial relations between the distribution of small business, hourly mobile traffic-based floating population, land use attributes index, residence, commercial building, road networks, and the node of traffic networks. Final six variables were applied and the accessibility to bus stops, afternoon time floating population, and evening time floating population were excluded due to multicollinearity. By this, we demonstrated that GWR is statistically improved compared to OLS. We visualized the spatial influence of the individual variables using the regression coefficients and local coefficients of determinant of the six variables. This research applied the measured population information in a practical way. Reflecting the dynamic information of the urban people using the commercial area. It is different from other studies that performed commercial analysis. Finally, this research has a differentiated advantage over the existing commercial area analysis in that it employed hourly changing commercial service population data and it applied spatial statistical models to micro spatial units. This research proposed new framework for the commercial analysis area analysis.

The health risks from the magnetic fields exposure have been brought out difficulties in the construction of transformer substation. According to several epidemiologic studies and the relevant international organizations, magnetic fields should not exceed the exposure limits of 3mG for the people living near electric power lines. The rigid regulation of the exposure levels for the elementary school and residental areas has been established already in Switzerland and Italy. Since 1998, the environmental impact assessment system in Korea has been reviewed for power-frequency magnetic field by precautionary policies. In this study, the possible application of Prior Environmental Performance Review System for the transformer substation was reviewed from the points of the properties of the powerfrequency magnetic fields. The ranges and survey methods of the assessment for the transformer substation were proposed. The ranges of magnetic fields was between 300m to 500m for the 345kV transformer substation. It is necessary to develop further specific assessment methods for various high-voltage transformer substations.

반핵 활동가였던 마이클 쉘린버거는 청정 에너지로서 원자력을 선택하여 사용할 것을 앞장서 주장하는 원전 옹호론자가 되었다. 마이클 쉘린버거는 환경운동가이다. 그러나 동시에 수많은 자연보호운동가들에게 비판의 대상이 되는 에너지원인 원자력 발전의 옹호론자이기도 하다. 그렇지만 이 사람이 원래 이랬던 것은 아니다. 쉘린버거는 오히려 과격한 반핵 활동가였는데 본인의 표현에 의하면 모하비 사막의 동쪽에 위치한 Ward Valley 방사성폐기물 처리장 같은 핵 관련 시설의 사용을 금지시키거나 아예 없애버리자고 앞장서 난리치던 사람이었다. 그러나 지구 온난화와 이에 따르는 심각한 결과를 알게 되면서 두 아이의 아버지인 이 44세의 활동가는 James Hansen같은 기후학자가 속해 있는 자연 보호 활동 그룹에 합류하여 기후 변화에 대처할 가장 청정한 에너지원이 되는 원자력 발전에 대한 재검토를 요구하게 되었다. 이처럼 원자력 발전을 오히려 늘려야 한다고 주장하는 것은 2011년 일본의 후쿠시마 원전 사고와 30년 전 터진 체르노빌 원전 사고의 결과로 원전은 태생적으로 위험한 것이라는 생각을 가지게 된 사람들에게는 환경운동의 이단 행위로 보일 수밖에 없을 것이다. 쉘린버거는 자기가 거주하고 있는 캘리포니아 주의 버클리와 가까운 샌프란시스코에서 지난 4월에 열린 미국원자력학회(American Nuclear Society) 연례회의에 연사로 참석하였으며 그곳에서 < Union-Tribune >과 인터뷰를 하였다. 인터뷰 내용 중 일부를 발췌하여 소개한다.

분산형 클러스터 라우팅 기법 중 가장 대표적 프로토콜인 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)프로토콜은 자기구성과 제한된 전원 문제에 있어 기존의 직접전송방식에 비해 최대 8배 이상의 성능 향상을 가져왔다. 그러나 LEACH는 고정노드를 가정으로 하여 제안된 방식으로, 센서노드가 이동하는 환경에서 클러스터 구성 이후 노드가 현재 클러스터에서 이탈하는 경우 데이터의 전송을 위해서 현재의 통신을 보류하고 새로운 라운드의 클러스터 구성에 참여하여 통신해야 하므로 데이터 전송 지연과 손실을 유발 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH프로토콜을 기반으로 센서노드가 이동하는 환경에서 데이터의 전송 지연을 최소화 하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식의 성능평가를 위해 시뮬레이션 해본 결과 이동성을 지원하지 않는 기존의 LEACH 프로토콜에 비해 데이터 전송 성공률이 향상된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
