We measured oxygen microprofiles using an oxygen microelectrode in Ganghwa intertidal flat in April and September. Oxygen consumption rate was calculated by using three different methods based on the oxygen microprofiles. The method using the PROFILE software was thought to be the most reliable among the three methods. The oxygen consumption rates calculated at station D1 by using the PROFILE software were 10.5 and 6.27mmol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$ in April and September, respectively. At station D2, they were 10.9mmol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$ in April and 5.39 mmol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$ in September. There was little spatial variation, but large seasonal variation, with almost two times larger values in April than in September. The higher rate in April is ascribed to higher oxygen concentration in the seawater and higher organic carbon content in the surface sediments, which probably accelerate oxygen consumption for organic matter decomposition in the sediments. Aerobic remineralization rates estimated from the oxygen consumption rates ranged from 4.14 to 8.07 mmol C $m^{-2}d^{-1}$ in Ganghwa intertidal flat, which were much lower than the anaerobic remineralization rate.

Recently, distribution load analysis using AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) data is researched in electric utilities. Load analysis method based on AMR system generates the typical load profile using load data of AMR customers, estimates the load profile of non-AMR customers, and analyzes the peak load and load profile of the distribution circuits and sectors per every 15 minutes/hour/day/week/month. Typical load profile is generated by the algorithm calculating the average amount of power consumption of each groups having similar load patterns. Traditional customer clustering mechanism uses only contract type code as a key. This mechanism has low accuracy because many customers having same contract code have different load patterns. In this research, We propose a customer clustring mechanism using k-means algorithm with contract type code and AMR data.

The improved performance of computer parts, such as graphic card, CPU, and main board, has led to the need for power supplies with a high power output. The dynamic load profile rapidly changes the usage of power consumption depending on load operations, such as PC power and air conditioner. Under dynamic load profile conditions, power consumption can be classified into maximum, normal, and standby power. Several problems arise in the case of maximum power. Peak power is generated at the system power source in the maximum-power situation. Frequent generation of peak power can cause high-frequency problems and reduce the life of high-pressure parts (especially high-pressure capacitors). For example, when a plurality of PCs are used, system overload occurs due to peak power generation and causes problems, such as power failure and increase in electricity bills due to exceeded contract power. To solve this problem, a system peak power limit/compensation power circuit is proposed for a power supply under dynamic load profile conditions. The proposed circuit detects the system current to determine the power situation of the load. When the system current is higher than the set level, the circuit recognizes that the system current generates peak power and compensates for the load power through a converter using a super capacitor as the power source. Thus, the peak power of loads with a dynamic load profile is limited and compensated for, and problems, such as high-frequency issues, are solved. In addition, the life of high-pressure parts is increased.

A running-profile generation method has been developed that efficiently generates the minimum-energy running profile, even in railway lines which have complicated speed limit sections. In the developed method, the problem of minimizing energy consumption is formulated as a resource allocation problem by dividing a running profile into several blocks, and is solved by the incremental method. A concept of Uni-Braking Block (UBB) which has only one brake section within it is introduces for the formulation. This paper proposes a specific method for running profile in the railway lines by using UBB. And proposes the algorithm to generate the running profile with minimum-energy.

The electrical load profiles of end-users must be analysed properly to introduce distributed generation system efficiently. In this study, numerical simulation for predicting a residential electrical load profile was developed to satisfy categorized electricity consumption range. We applied bottom-up approach to compose electrical load profile by using data from official reports and statistics. The electrical load profile produced from the simulation predicted peak times of public report accurately and agreed well with the standard residential electrical load profile of official reports within average error of 16.2%.

열차 운영사의 관점에서, 열차 운행에 관한 주요 관심사는 정해진 운행시간의 준수뿐만 아니라, 그와 동시에 열차 운행을 위해 소비되는 에너지 량을 최소화하는 것이다. 일반적인 수동 운전시, 기관사는 운행 노선의 특성에 따라 미리 규정된 최대 속도 프로파일을 기준으로, 노치를 제어함에 따라 규정 속도를 넘지 않도록 열차의 가감속을 조절한다. 이때 규정 속도를 준수하면서 동시에, 전체 운행 중에 소요되는 에너지 량의 절감을 위해, 기관사가 적절한 노치를 선택할 수 있는 구간별 노치 지정 가이드가 있어야 하며, 이는 운행구간에서의 노치 단계 최적화라는 절차를 통해 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 운행 환경뿐만 아니라, 열차가 운행 중에 일시적으로 잔여구간의 트랙 정보 또는 규정속도 정보가 변경되는 이벤트 발생시에도 변화된 정보들을 기반으로 실시간으로 잔역구간의 노치 단계를 최적화 할 수 있는 유전 알고리즘을 활용한 실시간 노치 최적화 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 유전 알고리즘을 통해 얻어진 최적해를 적용할 때 에너지 절감 효과와 최적해 수렴특성에 관하여 분석하였다.

Objectives: This study investigated the average number of drinkers in Korea, the number of high-risk drinkers, the average amount of alcohol consumed by high-risk drinkers, and the types of alcohol consumed according to the characteristics of the group of dependent drinkers. Methods: The results were obtained by analyzing the following data: The Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health; Country Profile 2014; WHO Country Profile 2014; Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014, Korean Statistical Information Service; National Tax Statistics-Liquor Tax; Gallup Drinking Frequency Survey 2015 Results: This study found that a large proportion of drinkers in Korea are already high-risk drinkers, and even among drinkers, alcohol consumption was highly biased. It was reported that 49.8% of men in the problem, abuse, and dependence groups accounted for 92.4% of total alcohol consumption among the male population. Notably, the 9.6% of men making up the dependent group consumed more than 30% of the alcohol ingested among males. Women had significant variations within groups that were considered high-risk and exhibited a large share of alcohol consumption in the problem (10.0% of the female population), abuse (1.8% of the female population), and dependence (1.5% of the female population) groups, constituting 72.8% of total alcohol consumption. The average amount of alcohol consumed by drinkers in Korea seems to have exceeded the level of intake by high-risk groups. Alcohol-dependent groups consumed 900.7 mL of soju, 405.2 mL of table wine, and 2,043.8 mL of beer, which is very similar to the consumption average of 2,031 mL of beer and 895.2 mL of soju in the drinking group. Conclusion: It has been shown that men's dependence on alcohol is serious, and it is possible to infer that alcohol consumption in some vulnerable groups is very high. As the average alcohol intake among alcohol-dependent groups and ordinary drinkers is very similar, it is highly likely that the drinker is an alcohol-dependent consumer in Korea.

오늘날 IP 네트워크에서 소모되는 에너지를 줄이기 위해 여러 곳에서 다양한 방법으로 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문은 다양한 에너지 프로파일을 갖는 IP 네트워크에서 에너지를 감소시키는 한 방법을 제안하고, 그 특성을 자세히 분석한다. 에너지 프로파일 기반 OSPF 라우팅 방식을 제안하면서, 경로 설정 시 기존 OSPF 방식의 metric과 네트워크 소자의 에너지 소모량에 가중치를 부여하여, 최대 에너지 절약 효과를 얻기 위해 다양한 경우에 대해서 분석한다. 그 결과 본 논문의 제안 방식은 IP 네트워크의 각 소자에 랜덤한 에너지 프로파일을 적용하면, 입력 라우터의 평균 입력 부하가 0.5일 때 기존의 운영 방식에 비해 67% 정도 에너지를 절약 할 수 있음을 확인한다. 그리고 본 방식의 알고리즘은 최소 에너지 소모가 되도록 라우팅하기 때문에 기존 라우팅 방식에 비해 경로의 홉 수가 다소 증가하고 있지만, 평균 홉 수 증가는 1.4홉 이내로 제한되고 있다. 그리고 본 방식이 실제 IP 네트워크 적용될 때, 에너지 절약 효과가 우수함을 나타낸다.

This paper has presented the efficient implementation of MPEG-4 simple profile video decoder, which is used as video compression standard in mobile video communication. We have used the ARM9 processor in implementing this MPEG-4 simple profile, which requires much processing power and low power implementation. At first we implemented with C-language under the PC environment with ADS(ARM Developer Suite) environment, and then we have tried to reduce a clock cycle for a power consumption optimization through conversion an assembly language for C-code partly. We have verified the processor is operated at 22.47MHz operation after optimization, but 148MHz before optimization.
