Recently mobile application providers and telecommunication companies went through a difficult time in a highly competitive mobile and its application market where we've seen a huge trend for diverse mobile applications occurring on smart phone. If there were a time when those of companies need to analyze factors affecting users' intention to download or recommend others applications more than ever, it is now. Based on UTAUT model, this research is to provide them with strategic implications by analyzing those factors according to application types with utilization and hedonic values. As a result, firstly trust and personalization have positive impact on Performance Expectancy and users' intention to use have been significantly affected by Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy. Secondly the result of path analysis has a different outcome according to application types with utilization and hedonic values. Therefore it is expected that the research gives practical and strategic implication for application developer, mobile companies and others helping application development, new service launch and marketing implementation.

Due to increased human activities and intensive rainfall events in a watershed, soil erosion and sediment transport have been hot issues in many areas of the world. To evaluate soil erosion problems spatially and temporarily, many computer models have been developed and evaluated over the years. However, it would not be reasonable to apply the model to a watershed if topography and environment are different to some degrees. Also, source codes of these models are not always public for modification. The ArcGIS model builder provides ease-of-use interface to develop model by linking several processes and input/output data together. In addition, it would be much easier to modify/enhance the model developed by others. Thus, simple model was developed to decide soil erosion hot spot areas using ArcGIS model builder tool in this study. This tool was applied to a watershed to evaluate model performance. It was found that sediment yield was estimated to be 13.7 ton/ha/yr at the most severe soil erosion hot spot area in the study watershed. As shown in this study, the ArcGIS model builder is an efficient tool to develop simple models without professional programming abilities. The model, developed in this study, is available at http://www.EnvSys.co.kr/~sateec/toolbox for free download. This tool can be easily modified for further enhancement with simple operations within ArcGIS model builder interface. Although very simple soil erosion and sediment yield were developed using model builder and applied to study watershed for soil erosion hot spot area in this study. The approaches shown in this study provides insights for model development and code sharing for the researchers in the related areas.

Since wireless communication cost is relatively expensive, the mobile games using cellular phones or PDAs are mostly played after being downloaded unlike more updated types of phone-to-phone or online games. In particular, the upbringing games, in which garners foster virtual companion animals or vegetables as their avata, have been spotlighted. It is essential to supply variety of items for upbringing avatas. However, due to diverse tastes for avatas and limited storage of mobile terminals, game manias must download their desired items from homepages. In addition, game developers must inform users through SMS messages whenever a new item is created. To do so, they must link WEB server and WAP server to Call Back URL or ARS. This paper proposed a linkage method suitable for JAVA-based mobile phone operating system. The proposed method will consequently increase life cycle of a game and reinforce profitability.

In this paper, the abdomen ECG(AECG) is employed to measure the mother's ECG instead of the conventioanl thoracic ECG measurement. The fetus ECG signal can be extracted from the AECG using an algorithm that utilizes the mobile fetal ECG measurement platform, which is based on the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The algorithm has been implemented by using a replacement processor processed directly from the platform BLE instead of the large statistical data processing required in the ICA(Independent component analysis). The proposed algorithm can be implemented on a mobile BLE wireless ECG system hardware platform to process the maternal ECG. Wireless technology can realize a compact, low-power radio system for short distance communication and the IOT(Intenet of Things) enables the transmission of real-time ECG data. It was also implemented in the form of a compact module in order for mothers to be able to download and store the collected ECG data without having to interrupt or move the logger, and later link the module to a computer for downloading and analyzing the data. A mobile ECG measurement prototype is manufactured and tested to measure the FECG for pregnant women. The experimental results verify a real-time FECG extraction capability for the proposed system. In this paper, we propose an ECG measurement system that shows approximately 91.65% similarity to the MIT database and the conventional algorithm and SNR performance about 10% better.

These days, streaming users are using ABR (Adaptive Bitrate) technique services by requesting the most adequate video rate selectively based on their own channel states. Most ABR related video rate adaptation techniques are only focused on real-time bitrate adaptations based on their own channel state, and misses energy limited characteristics that come from a mobile device's battery dependence. In other words, the mobile device's important characteristics and accompanying energy consumption are not being considered and causes dissatisfaction over streaming services. In this paper, we propose energy efficient prefetching based dynamic adaptive video streaming techniques, which saves unnecessary consumed energy while providing video rates of the same performance. Our scheme continuously turns off energy modules with enough streaming in the buffer and turns on in case of the opposite situation to save energy. Through the performance evaluation, this study's proposed scheme is 60% better than the previous work at global average mobile download speed.

We introduce a new satellite Conditional Access System(CAS) that a subscriber could watch a pay-TV knowing only his or her identity and password, without using a smart card. For this new system, two password-based protocols are presented which not only share a session key and authenticate each other but also download an authorization key. This system has some merits: First, compared with current systems, it reduces the amount of computations by eliminating the AK-encryption module in SMS(Subscriber Management System) and simplifying the receiver's CW-decryption process. Second, since this system does not need an expensive Card Adaptive Device(CAD), it can reduce costs. finally it provides descrambler independence allowing it to be used through any TV set-top box that includes a descrambler, unlike the current system that a descrambler is linked with a smart card.

Surface soil is one of the most important resources that have many functions for human needs such as conservation of water resource, purification of contaminated materials, and productivity of food or energy. However, the surface soil is a limited resource that cannot be recovered readily for a long time once it is lost by erosion. In Korea, the Ministry of Environment enacted the notification on the investigation of surface soil erosion and corresponding countermeasures. As the results, database of soil quality assess criteria (biomass, groundwater recharge, habitat, carbon storage, buffer, and soil loss) was established, and the web-based system that can evaluate surface soil conditions was developed. However, non-experts have difficulties in using the system because the system requires in-depth knowledge about soil qualities. In this study, the Web Geographic Information System (GIS) watershed-based surface soil information system was developed to improve usability of the system and accessibility of soil quaility database. The system provides the current condition of surface soil characteristics and GIS-based soil data at selected locations. The users are able to download soil quality data in different districts, watersheds, and special regions allocated by TauDEM module. The system developed in this study would valuable surface soil information for studies of soil quality and its environmental effects, and thereby contributing to establishing more appropriate and robust soil conservation laws.

This paper deals with an efficient index scheduling technique based on Hilbert curve and MBR for k-NN query in a single wireless broadcast channel environment. Previous works have two major problems. One is that they need a long time to process queries due to the back-tracking problem. The other is that they have to download too many spatial data since they can not reduce search space rapidly. Our proposed method broadcasts spatial data based on Hilbert curve order where a distributed index table is also broadcast with each spatial data. Each entry of index table represents the MBR which groups spatial data. By predicting the unknown location of spatial data, our proposed index scheme allows mobile clients to remove unnecessary data and to reduce search space rapidly. As a result, our method gives the decreased tuning time and access latency.

Java Card has gained genera1 acceptance with standard for smart card and (U)SIM technology, and it is in distinction from native card by its post-issuance of an application and independence from hardware platforms. However, a main weak point of Java Card is its low execution speed caused by the hardware limitation and Java programming language itself. In this paper, we propose a new Java Card Installer to improve the download speed during the post-issuance of an application by resolving symbolic references to physical references in HAM. Our Resolution_In_RAM is based on the improved new RAM writing is 100,000 times faster than EEPROM writing and PageBuffer that is operated as block mode, rather than cell mode is used to write to EEPROM. Consequently, the total number of EEPROM writing are reduced 37%, and the times of downloading are reduced over 30% by using the Resolution_In_RAM-based Java Card Installer.
