In this paper, we propose an efficient image size selection method for video-based point cloud compression. The current MPEG video-based point cloud compression reference encoding process configures a threshold on the size of images while converting point cloud data into images. Because the converted image is compressed and restored by the legacy video codec, the size of the image is one of the main components in influencing the compression efficiency. If the image size can be made smaller than the image size determined by the threshold, compression efficiency can be improved. Here, we studied how to improve the compression efficiency by selecting the best-fit image size generated during video-based point cloud compression. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the encoding time by 6 percent without loss of coding performance compared to the test model 15.0 version of video-based point cloud encoder.

The dimensional accuracy and consistency of a dual oil circuit centrifugal fuel nozzle are important for fuel distribution and combustion efficiency in an engine combustion chamber. A point cloud measurement method was proposed to solve the geometric accuracy detection problem for the fuel nozzle. An improved variance focus measure operator was used to extract the depth point cloud. Compared with other traditional sharpness evaluation functions, the improved operator can generate the best evaluation curve, and has the least noise and the shortest calculation time. The experimental results of point cloud slicing measurement show that the best window size is 24 × 24 pixels. In the height measurement experiment of the standard sample block, the relative error is 2.32%, and in the fuel nozzle cone angle measurement experiment, the relative error is 2.46%, which can meet the high precision requirements of a dual oil circuit centrifugal fuel nozzle.

Carbon emission generated by energy issues is one of the major problems which all countries concern. The International Energy Agency recommends to improve 15-30[%] of energy efficiency than now. Government has pushed the domestic energy saving policies and incentives and penalties were also given in that direction. Pumps are widely used to transfer fluids and they consume at least 20[%] power of each nation. Their loss of energy is huge if they have been operated at low efficiency for long time. Low efficiency of these pumps is often due to incorrect design or degradation. Pump efficiency can be measured to estimate energy loss. If it is low, the pump may be repaired or replaced with new one. This paper introduces thermodynamic method to measure pump efficiency using only two kinds of sensors for temperature and pressure. It can calculate best efficiency point(BEP) of actual systems easily and fast. Its values were compared with the real performance curve provided by pump maker and we got almost similar performance curves from the repeated experiment.

In this paper, we first introduce two one-parameter relaxation (OPR) iterative methods for solving singular saddle point problems whose semi-convergence rate can be accelerated by using scaled preconditioners. Next we present formulas for finding their optimal parameters which yield the best semi-convergence rate. Lastly, numerical experiments are provided to examine the efficiency of the OPR methods with scaled preconditioners by comparing their performance with the parameterized Uzawa method with optimal parameters.

Land use change by urbanization has significantly affected the hydrological process including the runoff characteristics. Due to this situation, it has been becoming more complicated to manage non-point source pollutions caused by rainfall. In order to effectively control non-point sources, it is necessary to identify the reduction efficiency of the various management method based on land use characteristics. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the reduction efficiency of non-point source pollution management practices targeting three different watersheds with the different land use characteristics using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). To do this, the vulnerable subwatersheds to non-point source pollution occurrence within each watershed were selected based on the streamflow and water quality simulation results. Then, considering the land use, low impact development (LID) or best management practices (BMPs) were applied to the selected subwatersheds and the efficiency of each management was analyzed. As a result of analysis of the non-point source pollution reduction efficiency, when LID was applied to urban areas, the average reduction efficiencies of SS, NO₃-N, and TP were 5.92%, 4.62%, and 10.35%, respectively. When BMPs were applied to rural areas, the average reduction efficiencies of SS, TN and TP were 35.45%, 4.37%, and 10.16%, respectively. The results of this study can be used as a reference for determining appropriate management methods for non-point source pollution in urban, rural, and complex watersheds.

Recently the water quality management policy gives priority to management the point source. Non-point pollution source is difficult to comprehend because those don't have certain outflow point and emission. There are many development and research about BMPs for manage the Non-point pollution source. Various methods of removal efficiency are presented for assessment of Best Management Practices (BMPs). In this study, retention time have effect on removal efficiency based on monitoring results of Grassed Swale is studied. Also, Compare a difference according to various methods of Grassed Swale removal efficiency. The result of removal efficiency analysis depending on retention time of Grassed Swale, removal efficiency is higher as retention time increases. To obtain a stable removal efficiency of Grassed Swale, retention time of Grassed Swale should be secure.

Non-point pollution is caused by many diffusive sources, unlike a point pollution derived from industrial wastewater treatment plants or sewage treatment plants. Runoff of non-point pollutants is originated from rainfall or thawing in short period of time moving over and through the a ground surface. They cause ill effect on the quality of neighboring aquatic environment. To prevent effectively the wash off from non-point pollutant, it should be immediately reduced at the source or be treated after gathering of runoff water. This study has been carried out for the best width of riparian buffer zone. So we implemented the experiment in terms of its depth, width and kind of vegetations and calculated the reduction of pollutants loading. The experimental zone encompasses the watershed of Namhan River (Kyunggido Yangpyunggun Byungsanri). The region was divided into 5 land cover sectors : grass, reed, pussy willow, mixed(grass+pussy willow) and natural zone to compare effectiveness of vegetation. Water samples from four points have been collected in different depths. And the pollutant removal efficiency by sectors with different plant species was yielded through influent with one of each sample. And we obtained the correlation between the width of riparian buffer zone and the removal efficiency of pollutants. Using correlation result, the width of riparian buffer zones which needs to improve the water quality of river could be derived.

The purpose of this study is to suggest some policy recommendations on the development of agricultural research of public agricultural institution. Critics say public agricultural institution are not working fast enough. As for efficiency itself, it seems reasonable to conclude that privatization plan is the best plan. The change that is needed to improve the efficiency of public agricultural institution is not the point in question. I will concentrate on the extraordinary nature of agriculture. We must not forget the important of extraordinary nature of agriculture. What is important is to have a genuine debate on extraordinary nature of agriculture and agricultural research. My aim is to highlight some aspects of agricultural research of public institution. Most important thing is, agricultural research is a valuable resource for nation. As I mentioned before, the change that is needed to improve the efficiency of public agricultural institution is not the point in question But there is much room for consideration for proper method. Impatient privatization without serious consideration could have a negative impact on the agricultural research.

The shadowing effects lead to the serious power losses of the PV module. The shadowing effects are caused by several factors such as leafs, dust, antenna and clouds. The dye-sensitized solar cells are more economical than the conventional silicon solar cell that's why the dye-sensitized solar cells are recently focused on. We carried out research on the efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell depending on the level of shadow changing the formula of the circuit. The research on the efficiency of the large dye-sensitized solar cell depending on the level of shadow focused on commercialization was carried out. As the results, it is known that the series and parallel connection method is the best choice for the least losses of PV module assemblies. It is especially known that one more series connection is the best choice for the least losses about shadowing effects and current losses in the series and parallel connection.

A screw-type centrifugal pump was manufactured to carry solids primarily and its impeller has a wide flow passage. However, the effect of flow passage shape on delay of the choke due to entrained air has not been clarified yet. Moreover, because its impeller has a particular shape, only few studies have tried to clarify the pump performance and details of internal flow pattern of that pump. For that reason, we carried out the pump performance experiment under air-water two-phase flow condition with different impeller tip clearances, pump rotational speeds and void fractions by using a small screw-type centrifugal pump designed to acquire basic data. In a general centrifugal pump, it was reported that loss of pump head from single-phase flow to the choke due to air entrainment new the best efficiency point was large. However, the loss near the best efficient point in a screw-type centrifugal pump became less than that in a general centrifugal pump.
