  • The car-dependent traffic system based on highly advanced industrialization and economic growth causes various urban problems including traffic jams, energy consumption, air pollution, noise, car accidents and other issues. Particularly in urban areas, air pollution from motor vehicles is worse than pollution from past industrialization. In this study, therefore, the authors grasped car exhaust reduction effects by using microsimulation and those traffic policies that could make cars flow smoothly, reducing the air pollution in urban areas through analysis on profitability. As a result, the weekday-based car using system has been found most effective as it does not need investment cost. However, this system may be socially unacceptable, as it requires the government to change driver behavior. Therefore, the government needs to first reach a consensus with the citizens regarding this system. This system will also be effective with other alternatives. As a follow-up study, the authors will research citizens' perceived impacts of car exhaust on air pollution through a study on preference and grasp the possibility of applying these study results to real traffic policies.

  • A Digital TV system is necessary for data Processing as well as video and audio processing. Especially in the case of interactive broadcasting, it should manage returning channel created by the Internet, PSTN, and so on. Because of many functionalities and multitasking jobs, it needs an Operating System. Embedded Linux as open source program can increase a cost effectiveness in market and has many advantages - reusable device drivers and application programs, more convenient developing environment using shell and file system, and easy problem resolution within Open Source Community. In this paper, we modified Embedded Linux kernel and cross developing environment for a big-endian system, redesigned devices for kernel execution, and configured system memory map in order to load a linux kernel. Also we developed an device driver for entire system control.

  • Recently, active materials such as amorphous silicon (a-Si), poly crystalline silicon (poly-Si), transition metal oxide semiconductors (TMO), and organic semiconductors have been demonstrated for flexible electronics. In order to apply flexible devices on the polymer substrates, all layers should require the characteristic of flexibility as well as the low temperature process. Especially, pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) have been investigated for probable use in low-cost, large-area, flexible electronic applications such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, smart cards, display backplane driver circuits, and sensors. Since pentacene TFTs were studied, their electrical characteristics with varying single variable such as strain, humidity, and temperature have been reported by various groups, which must preferentially be performed in the flexible electronics. For example, the channel mobility of pentacene organic TFTs mainly led to change in device performance under mechanical deformation. While some electrical characteristics like carrier mobility and concentration of organic TFTs were significantly changed at the different temperature. However, there is no study concerning multivariable. Devices actually worked in many different kinds of the environment such as thermal, light, mechanical bending, humidity and various gases. For commercialization, not fewer than two variables of mechanism analysis have to be investigated. Analyzing the phenomenon of shifted characteristics under the change of multivariable may be able to be the importance with developing improved dielectric and encapsulation layer materials. In this study, we have fabricated flexible pentacene TFTs on polymer substrates and observed electrical characteristics of pentacene TFTs exposed to tensile and compressive strains at the different values of temperature like room temperature (RT), 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$. Effects of bending and heating on the device performance of pentacene TFT will be discussed in detail.

  • Coal seam gas (CSG) water, to be discharged, has been usually treated in reverse osmosis (RO) plants which require extensive and expensive pre-treatment. However, current low gas prices have been a great driver for relevant industries to seek for alternative cost-effective technologies in the aspect of its beneficial use and fit-for-purpose usable water production. In this paper, a combined system with a two-stage pore control fiber (PCF) filtration and a RO system was designed and tested for CSG water treatment. Also, a coagulation reactor was placed in front of the PCF to further enhance suspended solid removal. More than 99% of SS were removed through the PCF filtration while organic, total nitrogen and total phosphorous were mostly removed by the RO system. Especially along with a decrease in conductivity, the total dissolved solid derived from salts was mainly removed in the RO system. Having $OH^-$ undetected, $HCO_3{^-}$ was found to be a dominant compound and its removal efficiency was 97-98% after the RO treatment. And a Fe(III) type of Polytetsu, which was the first to be tested in this paper, was found to be a better option than a Al(III) type of Poly Aluminium Chloride due to its greater coagulation efficiency and applicability at a broader range of pH than the Al(III) type. In addition, there was no noticeable change in oxidation reduction potential, suggesting that an additional process is required to oxidize non-ionic organic carbons (detected as total organic carbon).

  • This paper proposes and evaluates a scheme which enhances real-time performance on the Ethernet-based residential network where cable length is very short and most of traffic passes through a specific device. The scheme aims at enhancing deadline meet ratio of the real-time traffic, for example, video stream by means of applying the functionalities such as queue discrimination and early packet discard as well as maintaining network load properly. The design includes the description on hardware interfaces along with the software modules such as scheduler, device driver and connection manager. The simulation results via SMPL suggest that the proposed network can be used as a cost-effective residential network. We also measure the permissible bandwidth for non-real-time traffic without degrading the performance of real-time traffic.

  • The basic study was preceded for reducing maintenance and power cost of lighting fixture applying daylighting because most of the tunnel lighting depend on the artificial lighting. This study aims to evaluate the daylighting performance of daylighting performance of bar-type mirror reflector system in tunnel. Illuminance and luminance was measured. As a result of horizontal illuminance measurements, it was satisfied in tunnel recommended illuminance (KSA 3703) that total average was 1,170 lx increased 6.5 times more than this system was not used. Also, as a result of evaluating driver's glare on the opposite lane, glare did not occur and the luminance ratio was 3.01 which satisfies the luminance ratio standard 10.
