This study investigated the results of insulation heat curing method using double layer bubble sheet in slab concrete and mass concrete in cold weather environment. First of all, when double bubble sheets are applied, it was shown that slab concrete was protected from early freezing by remaining between 6 and 15℃ even in case outside temperature drops -9℃ below zero until the 2nd day from piling, and in the case of mass concrete, with the maximum temperature difference between the center and surface less than 4℃, crack occurrence index was close to 2 and no hydration heat crack occurred by internal constraint. The insulation heat preservation curing method using the double bubble sheet applied in this field prevented early freezing owing to stable curing temperature management, deterring concrete strength development delay at low temperature, and obtained the needed strength. Also, it was proven that the method is highly effective and economic for cold weather concrete quality maintenance through curing cost reduction like construction period shortening and labor cost reduction, etc by reducing the process of temporary equipment installation and disassembling.

Sensor nodes have various energy and computational constraints because of their inexpensive nature and ad-hoc method of deployment. Considerable research has been focused at overcoming these deficiencies through faster media accessing, more energy efficient routing, localization algorithms and system design. Our research attempts to provide a method of improvement MAC performance in these issues. We show that traditional carrier-sense multiple access(CSMA) protocols like IEEE 802.11 do not handle the first constraint adequately, and do not take advantage of the second property, leading to degraded latency and throughput as the network scales in size, We present more efficient method of a medium access for real-time wireless sensor networks. Proposed MAC protocol is a randomized CSMA protocol, but unlike previous legacy protocols, does not use a time-varying contention window from which a node randomly picks a transmission slot. To reduce the latency for the delivery of event reports, it carefully decides a fixed-size contention window, non-uniform probability distribution of transmitting in each slot within the window. We show that it can offer up to several times latency reduction compared to legacy of IEEE 802.11 as the size of the sensor network scales up to 256 nodes using widely used simulator ns-2. We, finally show that proposed MAC scheme comes close to meeting bounds on the best latency achievable by a decentralized CSMA-based MAC protocol for real-time wireless sensor networks which is sensitive to latency.

In this paper, we demonstrate inter-layer prediction tools for scalable video coders. The proposed scalable coder is designed to support not only spatial, quality and temporal scalabilities, but also view scalability. In addition, we propose quad-tree inter-layer prediction tools to improve coding efficiency at enhancement layers. The proposed inter-layer prediction tools generate texture prediction signal with exploiting texture, syntaxes, and residual information from a reference layer. Furthermore, the tools can be used with inter and intra prediction blocks within a large coding unit. The proposed framework guarantees the rate distortion performance for a base layer because it does not have any compulsion such as constraint intra prediction. According to experiments, the framework supports the spatial scalable functionality with about 18.6%, 18.5% and 25.2% overhead bits against to the single layer coding. The proposed inter-layer prediction tool in multi-loop decoding design framework enables to achieve coding gains of 14.0%, 5.1%, and 12.1% in BD-Bitrate at the enhancement layer, compared to a single layer HEVC for all-intra, low-delay, and random access cases, respectively. For the single-loop decoding design, the proposed quad-tree inter-layer prediction can achieve 14.0%, 3.7%, and 9.8% bit saving.

The links between super-massive black hole masses and their host galaxy properties are observed, indicating that black hole growth and host galaxy evolution are closely related. Reverberation mapping, which uses the time delay from the central black hole to broad line regions, is one of the best methods to estimate masses of black holes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, only masses of about 50 black holes have been determined in reverberation mapping studies so far, and most of them are limited to optical luminosities below 10^45 erg/s due to the challenges of long-term time domain observations in both photometry and spectroscopy. In this project, we expand reverberation mapping samples to higher luminosities of > 10^44.5 erg/s at 0.1 < z < 0.35, that have expected time lags of 40 - 250 light days. Photometric (using LOAO 1-m and MDM 1.3-m) and spectroscopic (using MDM 2.4-m and Lick 3-m) monitoring campaigns are being conducted for a 3 year duration and 20 day cadence. Precedent photometric observations in 2015B show some targets with variability and follow-up spectroscopic observations are on-going. In this presentation, we introduce our project, present reverberation mapping simulation results, and preliminary results on photometry. These reverberation mapping masses of relatively high luminous AGNs will provide a strong constraint on black hole mass calibration, e.g., the single-epoch mass estimation.

In this paper, we present a trellis-based blind channel estimation and equalization technique coupling two kinds of adaptive Viterbi algorithms. First, the initial blind channel estimation is accomplished by incorporating the list parallel Viterbi algorithm with the least mean square (LMS) updating approach. In this operation, multiple trellis mappings are preserved simultaneously and ranked in terms of path metrics. Equivalently, multiple channel estimates are maintained and updated once a single symbol is received. Second, the best channel estimate from the above operation will be adopted to set up the whole trellis. The conventional adaptive Viterbi algorithm is then applied to detect the signal and further update the channel estimate alternately. A small delay is introduced for the symbol detection and the decision feedback to smooth the noise impact. An automatic switch between the above two operations is also proposed by exploiting the evolution of path metrics and the linear constraint inherent in the trellis mapping. Simulation has shown an overall excellent performance of the proposed scheme in terms of mean square error (MSE) for channel estimation, robustness to the initial channel guess, computational complexity, and channel equalization.

In this paper, a NeuroFuzzy controller (NFC) with enhanced packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) protocol for QoS-guaranteed multimedia communication systems is proposed. The enhanced PRMA protocol adopts mini-slot technique for reducing contention cost, and these minislot are futher partitioned into multiple MAC regions for access requests coming from users with their respective QoS (quality-of-service) requirements. And NFC is designed to properly determine the MAC regions and access probability for enhancing the PRMA efficiency under QoS constraint. It mainly contains voice traffic estimator including the slot information estimator with recurrent neural networks (RNNs) using real-time recurrent learning (RTRL), and fuzzy logic controller with Mandani- and Sugeno-type of fuzzy rules. Simulation results show that the enhanced PRMA protocol with NFC can guarantee QoS requirements for all traffic loads and further achieves higher system utilization and less non real-time packet delay, compared to previously studied PRMA, IPRMA, SIR, HAR, and F2RAC.

Resource leveling minimizes resource fluctuations by deferring the earliest start times (ESTs) of non-critical activities within their corresponding total float. The intentional float-consumption for resource leveling purpose reduces the schedule delay contingency. This paper presents a method called Genetic Algorithm based Resource Leveling (GARL) that minimizes resource fluctuations and float-consumption impact over project duration. It identifies activities that are less sensitive to float-consumption and performs resource leveling using those activities. The study is of value to project scheduler because GARL identifies the set of activities to be deferred and the number of shift day(s) of each and every activities in the set within its total float expeditiously. It contributes to establish a baseline schedule which implements an optimal resource leveling plan. A case study is presented to verify the validity and usability of the method. It was confirmed that GARL satisfies the project duration constraint by considering resource fluctuations and float-consumption over project duration.

본 논문에서는 히스토그램 기반의 비트율-왜곡 (R-D) 추정 결과를 이용하여 이웃한 영상들간에 일관된 화질을 제공하는 비트율 제어방식을 제안한다. 히스토그램 기반의 R-D 추정 방식은 부호화에 사용되는 양자화 파라미터(QP)에 따라 한 영상에서 발생하는 비트량과 왜곡을 예측하거나, 역으로 발생하는 비트량이나 왜곡에 대한 QP 값을 예측할 수 있는 수학적 모델을 제공한다. 이 추정 방식의 가장 큰 장점은 추정을 위한 주 연산이 양자화기에 입력되는 DCT 계수에 대한 히스토그램 또는 가중 히스토그램을 구하는 것이므로 계산량이 적은 것이다. 또 실제 비디오 부호화에 적용할 수 있을 만큼 정확하다. 따라서 이 추정 모델을 이용하는 제안된 비트율 제어 방식은 저 지연과 저 복잡도를 요구하는 응용 분야에 적합하고, 정확한 제어를 수행한다. 제안된 비트율 제어방식은 비디오 버퍼 제한 조건을 만족시킴으로써 버퍼의 넘침이나 고갈이 발생하지 않도록 하고, 추가적으로 왜곡 제한에 의하여 이웃한 영상들간에 화질차이가 일정 범위를 벗어나지 않도록 한다. 그리고 하나의 영상에 대하여 하나의 QP를 사용하여 영상 내에서도 일관된 화질을 유지하며, 誰?영상과 비 기준 영상에 대한 버퍼 제한 조건을 차별화함으로써 기준 영상의 화질 열화에 의한 오류 전파를 감소시킨다. 제안된 방식과 MPEG-2의 TM5 (Test Model 5)에서 제안한 비트율 제어 방식의 성능을 비교한 실험으로부터 제안된 방식이 평균 PSNR을 0.521.84 dB 정도 향상시키고, 영상간 그리고 영상 내에서도 일관된 화질을 유지함을 확인하였다.

시간제약 조건하에서 순차회로를 위한 새로운 CPLD(Complexity Programmable Logic Device) 기술 매핑 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 기술매핑 알고리즘은 주어진 순차회로의 궤환을 검출한 후 궤환이 있는 변수를 임시 입력 변수로 분리한 후 조합논리 부분을 DAG(Directed Acyclic Graph)로 표현한다. DAG의 각 노드를 검색한 후, 출력 에지의 수가 2이상인 노드를 분할하지 않고 노드만을 복제(replication)하여 팬 아웃 프리 트리로 재구성한다. 이러한 구성 방법은 주어진 시간 조건 안에서 최소의 면적을 가질 수 있으며 처리 시간을 고려하기 위한 것이다. 기존의 CPLD 기술 매핑 알고리즘인 TEMPLA의 경우 팬 아웃 프리 트리를 구성할 때 출력 에지의 수가 2이상인 노드를 서브 그래프로 분할함으로서 매핑 결과 시간 제약 조건을 초과할 수 있다. 또한, TMCPLD(Technology Mapping for CPLD)의 경우는 출력 에지의 수가 2 이상인 노드를 포함한 트리를 복제하여 전체의 노드수가 증가되어 전체 수행시간이 길어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 노드만을 복제한 팬 아웃 프리 트리의 구성방법을 제안한다. 시간제약 조건과 조사의 지연시간을 이용하여 그래프 분할이 가능한 다단의 수를 정하고, 각 노드의 OR 텀수를 비용으로 하는 초기비용과 노드 병합 후 생성될 OR 텀수인 전체비용을 계산하여 CPLD를 구성하고 있는 CLB(Configurable Logic Block)의 OR텀수보다 비용이 초과되는 노드를 분할하여 서브그래프를 구성한다. 분할된 서브그래프들은 collapsing을 통해 노드들을 병합하고, 주어진 소자의 CLB안에 있는 OR텀 개수에 맞게 Bin packing를 수행하였다. 제안한 기술매핑 알고리즘을 MCNC 논리합성 벤치마크 회로들에 적용하여 실험한 결과 기존의 CPLD 기술 매핑 툴인 TEMPLA에 비해 CLB의 수가 15.58% 감소되었다.
