  • DXA is the most commonly used BMD examination equipment with the best performance on reflecting the biological alteration with tiny change of bone density. In spite of the importance of the quality control to maintain the accuracy and precision of the examination, considerable number of hospitals are not conducting QC due to the difficulty and high cost of the phantom product. This study develops the cross revision phantom with 3D printer and the change of the degree of infilling filaments which can be readily secured, and provides the usefulness assessment of the developed phantom by comparing with existing products. The Hounsfield Units of ABS, TPU, PLA, 30% Cu-PLA, and 30% Al-PLA are assessed. The Hounsfield Units result at infilling rate 100% was $-149.74{\pm}2.36$, $-55.62{\pm}7.14$, $-7.68{\pm}3.82$, $87.53{\pm}1.07$, and $1795.20{\pm}16.15$. The L1, L2, L3 BMD of 3D printing phantom with linear regression model were $0.620{\pm}0.010g/cm^2$, $1.092{\pm}0.025g/cm^2$, $1.554{\pm}0.026g/cm^2$ which are statistically relevant to the existing phantom products. This result provides the base line data for various medical phantom produce and capability of proper quality control of DXA equipment.

  • In an Ad-hoc network, a method of time synchronizing all the nodes in a network centering on one reference node can be used. A representative algorithm based on a reference node is Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol (FTSP). In the process of sending and receiving messages, predictable and unpredictable delays occur, which should be removed because it hinders accurate time synchronization. In multi-hop communications, hop delays occur when a packet traverses a number of hops. These hop delays significantly degrade the synchronization performance among nodes. Therefore, we need to find a method to reduce these hop delays and increase synchronization performance. In the FTSP scheme, hop delays can be greatly increased depending on the position of a reference node. In addition, in FTSP, a node with the smallest node ID is elected as a reference node, hence, the position of a reference node is actually arbitrarily determined. In this paper, we propose an optimal reference node election algorithm to reduce hop delays, and compare the performance of the proposed scheme with FTSP using the network simulator OPNET. In addition, we verify that the proposed scheme has an improved synchronization performance, which is robust to topology changes.

  • In this paper we proposed a new ocean radiation automatic monitoring system. The proposed system has the following characteristics: First, using NaI + PVT mixed detectors, the response speed is fast and precision analysis is possible. Second, the application of temperature compensation algorithm to scintillator-type sensors does not require additional cooling devices and enables stable operation in the changing ocean environment. Third, since cooling system is not needed, electricity consumption is low, and electricity can be supplied reliably by utilizing solar energy, which can be installed at the observation deck of ocean environment. Fourth, using GPS and wireless communications, accurate location information and real-time data transmission function for measurement areas enables immediate warning response in the event of nuclear accidents such as those involving neighboring countries. The results tested by the authorized testing agency to assess the performance of the proposed system were measured in the range of $5{\mu}Sv/h$ to 15mSv/h, which is the highest level in the world, and the accuracy was determined to be ${\pm}8.1%$, making normal operation below the international standard ${\pm}15%$. The internal environmental grade (waterproof) was achieved, and the rate of variation was measured within 5% at operating temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ and stability was verified. Since the measured value change rate was measured within 10% after the vibration test, it was confirmed that there will be no change in the measured value due to vibration in the ocean environment caused by waves.

  • The growth of mobile devices in Internet of Things (IoT) leads to a number of intelligent buildings related IoT applications. For instance, home automation controlling system uses client system such web apps on smartphone or web service to access the home server by sending control commands. The home server receives the command, then controls for instance the light system. The gateway based RESTful technology responsible for handling clients' requests attests an internet latency in case a large number of clients' requests submit toward the gateway increases. In this paper, we propose the design tasks of the IoT gateway for handling concurrency events. In the procedure of designing tasks, concurrency is best understood by employing multiple levels of abstraction. The way that is eminently to accomplish concurrency is to build an object-oriented environment with support for messages passing between concurrent objects. We also investigate the performance of event-driven architecture for building IoT gateway using node.js on one side and communication protocol based message-oriented middleware known as XMPP to handle communications of intelligent building control devices connected to the gateway through a centralized hub. The Node.JS is 40% faster than the traditional web server side features thread-based approach. The use of Node.js server-side handles a large number of clients' requests, then therefore, reduces delay in performing predefined actions automatically in intelligent building IoT environment.

  • Currently, systems for finding missing children are composed of using communication between a QR code and RFID chip, as the use of a smartphone. However, the current systems for finding missing children have limitations in that children can only be found if there are people in the surrounding area; there is an economic burden on parents required to purchase a smartphone for their children; along with difficulties in finding the missing children without the assistance of those in the surrounding area in critical situations such as a kidnapping, due to the limited duration of the battery life. In order to solve such problems, approaches need to be made from two perspectives: having someone in the surrounding area; and absence of anyone in the surrounding area. This thesis is centered on the development of a IoT (Internet of Things) system for finding missing children that combines two methods, namely, the method of finding missing children without a guardian in the surrounding area -within the limited space in which AP is installed by using a beacon and open source hardware being highlighted as the IoT technology - and the method of finding missing children with the smartphone application in which each individual becomes the Access Point (AP). The Main purpose is to provide accurate information of missing children's location for the 2situations and it is found that the accuracy of smartphones APP is 97.7% and security device AP is 91.1%.

  • Unlike a typical video wall system, video wall systems used for integrated monitoring in smart city environments should be able to display various videos, images, and texts simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an Internet Protocol (IP)-based video wall system that has no limit on the number of videos that can be monitored simultaneously, and that can arrange the monitor screen layout without restrictions. The proposed system is composed of multiple display servers, a wall controller, and video source providers, and they communicate with each other through an IP network. Since the display server receives and decodes the video stream directly from the video source devices, and displays it on the attached monitor screens, more videos can be simultaneously displayed on the entire video wall. When one video is displayed over several screens attached to multiple display servers, only one display server receives the video stream and transmits it to the other display servers by using IP multicast communications, thereby reducing the network load and synchronizing the video frames. Experiments show that as the number of videos increases, a system consisting of more display servers shows better decoding and rendering performance, and there is no performance degradation, even if the display server continues to be expanded.

  • Recently, both wireless communications technology and the performance of small devices have developed exponentially, while the number of services using various types of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has also massively increased in line with the ongoing technological and environmental changes. Furthermore, ever more devices that were previously used in the offline environment-including small-size sensors and CCTV-are being connected to the Internet due to the huge increase in IoT services. However, many IoT devices are not equipped with security functions, and use vulnerable open source software as it is. In addition, conventional network equipment, such as switches and gateways, operates with vulnerabilities, because users tend not to update the equipment on a regular basis. Recently, the simple vulnerability of IoT devices has been exploited through the distributed denial of service (DDoS) from attackers creating a large number of botnets. This paper proposes a system that is capable of identifying Internet-connected devices quickly, analyzing and managing the vulnerability of such devices using Internet-wide scan technology. In addition, the vulnerability analysis rate of the proposed technology was verified through collected banner information. In the future, the company plans to automate and upgrade the proposed system so that it can be used as a technology to prevent cyber attacks.

  • Since the second comprehensive mathematics education plan was announced in 2012, many policies have been implemented based on it. However, due to many changes in various social situations and revision of the curriculum, new plans and policy proposals for mathematics education are strongly required. But, we need to recognize what the changes in the current social and educational situation ask for education in order to make meaningful policy. Therefore, in this study, we intend to develop an appropriate questionnaire to investigate mathematics teachers' perceptions and educational status of mathematics by analyzing former domestic and international studies on the related field and reflecting the educational situation in Korea. When developing questions, experts' opinions were consulted and preliminary on-site survey studies were conducted to maintain the suitability and reliability of the questions. Through these procedure, 33 questions were developed in three areas: teachers' recognition on mathematics education, educational status of mathematics education, and ICT utilization. It will be used as a tool to investigate math teachers' perception and current status of mathematics education and the results from this survey will be useful for developing mathematics education policies for the future.
