  • Thermomechanical pulping process uses large amounts of energy, mostly electricity to run electrical facilities. Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) made from Pinus densiflora also has a big drawback that refining consumes 90 per cent of the total energy used in TMP process. This study explored to draw up a way to save refining energy through different thermal treatment at the stages of presteaming and refining. Presteaming temperature was $80^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, and $120^{\circ}C$. After presteaming at each temperature, refining was carried out at $100^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, and $140^{\circ}C$ respectively. In a presteaming stage, steaming temperature over $120^{\circ}C$ greatly contributed to the decrease of refining energy leading to earlier attainment of a target freeness, irrespective of refining temperature. In addition, NaOH treatment with presteaming enhanced better development of fiber properties during refining than presteaming without NaOH. High temperature refining at $140^{\circ}C$ produced a high strength paper, and wood chips treated by alkali responded better to refining than at over $120^{\circ}C$. Improved softening effect on wood chips led to the decrease in shives contents but it gave no effect on pitch contents of TMP.

  • For energy-efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), when a sensor node detects events, the sensing period for collecting the detailed information is likely to be short. The lifetime of WSNs decreases because communication modules are used excessively on a specific sensor node. To solve this problem, the TARP decentralized network packets to neighbor nodes. It considered the average data transmission rate as well as the data distribution. However, since the existing scheme did not consider the energy consumption of a node in WSNs, its network lifetime is reduced. The proposed scheme considers the remaining amount of energy and the transmission rate on a single node in fitness evaluation. Since the proposed scheme performs an efficient congestion control it extends the network lifetime. The simulation result shows that our scheme enhances the data fairness and improves the network lifetime by about 27% on average over the existing scheme.

  • In this research, we analyzed the effect of environmental friendliness on consumer's purchase intention with an energy saving product. We found that the economic benefit, easy to use and environmental friendliness have significant positive(+) effects on environmental friendliness of the energy saving product. We also found that the effects of economic benefit and environmental friendliness differ by the level of consumer's environmental consciousness. Consumers with high level of the environmental consciousness are less sensitive on the change of the economic benefit and more sensitive on the change of the environmental friendliness than consumers with low level of the environmental consciousness. The results of this research imply that when planning a marketing strategy for an environmental friendly product it is important to emphasis the economic benefit to consumers with low level of the environmental consciousness while it is important to emphasis the environmental friendliness to consumers with high level of the environmental consciousness.

  • This study was aimed at evaluating the nutritional status of Korean lactating women, who were attending peripheral community clinics in low-income areas, by anthropometric measurement, estimating dietary intakes and analyzing the contents of breast milk components, serum lipid content and fatty acid composition. Regarding anghropometric measurements, maternal circumferences decreased significantly at the trunk but not at the limbs. The skinfold thickness on all regions had the tendency to decrease during lactation. It was found that intakes of energy, protein, lipid and carbohydrates were desirable while calcium, zinc, copper and vitamin A were low and sodium was excessive. The energy $\%$of fat was 22.41$\%$of the total energy which is higher than the RDA for adults but it is proper for lactating women, but energy $\%$ from each fatty acid was usually low and an intake ratio of $\omega$6/$\omega$3 fatty acids was desirable. Accordingly, it is thought that dietary fat intake was balanced in quality. Concentrations of the nutrients in matured human milk showed the same range as that reported form different regions with the exception of calcium and magnesium which were relatively low. Serum lipid contents were decreased with the time postpartum and the average serum lipid content of lactating women were similar to the normal range of adults. Serum polyunsaturated fatty acids. especially $\omega$6 fatty acids have gradually increased with the time postpartum, but the composition were not greatly influenced by dietary intakes.

  • In recent years, the demands of multimedia data in wireless sensor networks have been significantly increased for the high-quality environment monitoring applications that utilize sensor nodes to collect multimedia data. However, since the amount of multimedia data is very large, the network lifetime and network performance are significantly reduced due to excessive energy consumption on particular nodes. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient dynamic area compression scheme in wireless multimedia sensor networks. The proposed scheme minimizes the energy consumption in the huge multimedia data transmission process by compression using the Chinese Remainder Theorem(CRT) and dynamic area detection and division algorithm. Our experimental results show that our proposed scheme improves the data compression ratio by about 37% and reduces the amount of transmitted data by about 56% over the existing scheme on average. In addition, the proposed scheme increases network lifetime by about 14% over the existing scheme on average.

  • Traditional cluster-based routing method is a representative method for increasing the energy efficiencies. In these cluster-based routing methods, the selected cluster head collect/aggregate the information and send the aggregated information to the base station. But they have to solve the unnecessary energy dissipation of frequent information exchange between the cluster head and whole member nodes in cluster. In this paper, we minimize the frequency of the information exchange for reducing the unnecessary transmit/receive frequencies as calculate the overlapped area or number of overlapped member nodes between the selected cluster head and previous cluster head in the setup phase. So, we propose the modified cluster selection protocol method that optimizes the energy dissipation in the setup phase and reuses the saved energy in the steady-state phase efficiently that prolongs the whole wireless sensor network lifetime by uniformly selecting the cluster head.

  • In this paper, we performed the analysis of transmission performance for Collision Free Period(CFP) supported by the low-power communication technology, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC (Media Access Control). For the analysis, periodic traffic, original service target of CFP, is considered and, according to the Quality of Service required, packet arrival pattern to MAC layer is categorized as batch and non-batch, and analysis on throughput, delay, and energy is performed for those patterns. On the basis of the obtained analysis, performance comparison with Collision Avoidance Period(CAP) is carried out for the health care applications that generate periodic traffic such as Pedometer, ECG, EMG. The evaluation confirms that CFP is more energy efficient for healthcare applications that generate periodic and time-critical traffic and moreover for the application with high bandwidth requirement CFP achieves up to 46% energy savings compared to CAP.

  • The following study was conducted to determine the optimal location in terms of efficiency for solar energy facilities, and to propose a policy implications for the orientation of the installments. 92 cases in Jeollanam-do Province were selected. A regression analysis was performed between the average electricity generation time as the dependent variable, and the facility, weather and site conditions as the independent variables. As a result, 5 variables were deemed significant. Larger site areas, closer proximity to rivers, islands, oceans, etc., least south-oriented, higher average wind speed, and facilities in agricultural land use and natural environment conservation land use had the highest efficiency. This study minimized the possibility of secure databases and errors following facility types, and was limited in the number of sites studied, since this was only conducted in Jeollanam-do Province. Nevertheless, these conclusions still offer important policy implications for determining the most optimal location for solar energy facilities.
