Electricity is the prime commodity in mobile device, e.g. smart phone, PDA, MP3 player and etc. This strict restriction on power consumption requirement of the mobile device puts unique demand in designing hardware and software components of the device. In this paper, we address the issue of minimizing the power consumption in retrieving the continuous media data from the disk drive for real-time playback purpose. Different from the legacy text based data, real-time multimedia playback requires that the storage supplies the data block continuous fashion. This may put immense burden on the power scarce environment since the disk Is required to be active for the entire playback duration. We develop elaborate algorithm which carefully analyzes the power consumption profile of the disk drive and which establishes the data retrieval schedule for the given playback. It computes the amount of data blocks to read, the length of active and standby period. According to our simulation result, the ARM algorithm exhibits superior performance in continuous media retrieval from the aspect of power consumption to legacy playback scheme.

Software has been used to develop many functions of the modern weapon systems which has a high mission criticality. Weapon system software must consider multi-threaded processing to satisfy growing performance requirement. However, developing multi-threaded programs are difficult because of concurrency faults, such as unintended data races. Especially, it is important to prepare analysis for debugging the data races, because the weapon system software may cause personal injury. In this paper, we present an efficient framework of analysis, called ConDeWS, which is designed to determine the scope of dynamic analysis through using the result of static analysis and fault analysis. As a result of applying the implemented framework to the target software, we have detected unintended data races that were not detected in the static analysis.

Appropriate amount of water supply to paddy fields in proper time is important to achieve efficient agricultural water management. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the irrigation water supply adequacy for paddy fields using water level data in irrigation canals. For the evaluation, the real-time water level data were collected from main canals in the Dongjin irrigation district for 2 years. Using the water level data, delivered irrigation water amounts at the distribution points of each canal were calculated. The water balance model for paddy field was designed considering intermittent irrigation and the irrigation water requirement was estimated. Irrigation water supply adequacy was analyzed from main canals to the irrigation blocks based on the comparison between estimated requirement and delivered irrigation water amounts. From the adequacy analysis, irrigation water supply showed poor management condition in 2012 with low efficiency except the Daepyong canal section, and the adequacy in 2013 was good or fair except the Yongsung canal section. When irrigation water for paddy fields was insufficient, water supply adequacy was affected by irrigation area, but when irrigation water was enough to supply, adequacy was affected by distance from main canal to distribution points. These results of the spatial and temporal dimensions of the irrigation adequacy could be utilized for efficient irrigation water management to improve the temporal uniformity and equity in the water distribution for paddy fields.

Ostrich farming is a developing industry in most countries in the world, with farm profitability being largely dependent on the quality of the products, especially skins and meat. To produce quality products, it is essential to ensure that nutrient supply matches the nutrient requirements of ostriches during their growth. To achieve this, information on feed utilisation efficiency and nutrient requirements of ostriches at different maturity stages is required. In South Africa, a number of experiments were carried out to assess the nutritive value of feed and to define the nutrient requirement of ostriches. These data were derived from limited number of birds and the direct application of the results to ostrich farming in Australia and other countries is questionable due to the difference in environment and feed resources. Initially ostrich farmers used data from poultry as a guideline for feed formulation, but in recent years more data has become available for ostriches. Ostriches have a better feed utilisation efficiency and a larger capacity of using high fibre feeds such as pastures than poultry. This review revealed that there are a number of areas there further nutritional research and development is required to ensure the ostriches are provided suitable diets to maximise farm profitability. These include the assessment of the nutritive value of feed ingredients for ostrich chicks and adult birds, the determination of nutrient requirements of ostriches under different farming systems, the development of ostrich diet for producing specific product, and grazing management strategies of ostriches in a crop-pasture rotation system.

For operation of IEEE 802.22 WRAN system, spectrum sensing is a essential function. However, due to strict sensing requirement of WRAN system, spectrum sensing process of CR nodes require long quiet period. In addition, CR nodes sometimes fail to detect licensed users due to shadowing effect of wireless communication environment. To overcome this problem, CR nodes collaborate with each other for increasing the sensing reliability or mitigating the sensitivity requirement. A general approach for decision fusion, the "k out of N" rule is often taken as the decision fusion rule for its simplicity. However, since k out of N rules can not achieve better performance than the highest SNR node when SNR is largely different among CR nodes, the local SNR of each node should be considered to achieve better performance. In this paper, we propose two novel data fusion methods by utilizing confidence vector which represents the confidence level of individual sensing result. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes improve the signal detection performance than the conventional data fusion algorithms.

Reliable wireless transmission of data generated by the flight critical subsystems or mission equipments of the unmanned aerial system is critical for mission success. As the UAS system becomes more sophisticated, its dependency on a reliable high rate radio communication system also increases. This requirement is applied not only during the operation phase but also in the early development test phase. This paper introduces a practical cost-effective communication system for a UAS. The downlink module combines analog NTSC video signal with onboard data, and send them using 2.4 GHz carrier wave. The uplink system has less a severe requirement on the bandwidth, and thus uses 430 MHz signal. This paper also presents a sample packet structure which can be adopted for many UAS of similar class.

This paper proposes a method to generate test cases and test scripts from software requirements written in a controlled natural language, which helps develop reliable embedded software. In the proposed method, natural language requirements are written in a controlled language, the requirements are parsed and then inputs, outputs and operator data are extracted from the requirements. Test cases are generated from the extracted data following test case generation strategies such as decision coverage, condition coverage or modified condition/decision coverage. And then the test scripts, physical inputs of the test cases are generated with help of the test command dictionary. With the proposed method, it becomes possible to directly check whether software properly satisfies the requirements. Effectiveness of the proposed method is verified empirically with an requirement set.

Wideband CDMA is one of the radio access technologies for the third generation in which voice is the basic service. There has been lot of research work in order to find out the suitable transmission scheme to meet the requirement of accommodating variable type of services in Wideband-CDMA. This paper studies the behavior of different services using different transmission schemes in Wideband CDU and compares their performance in terms of BER. Different transmission schemes are found to be suitable for different services. Transmission schemes used are- fixed processing gain scheme also called as variable bandwidth scheme, single code transmission and multicode transmission. It is found that fixed processing gain scheme is suitable fur high data rates. Single code transmission is suitable fer low data rates where as multicode transmission is suitable for low and medium data rates.
