A novel process has successfully been developed by overcoming major difficulties through the elimination of number of process steps involved in the Classical Transesterification reaction during the preparation of Fatty Acid Methyl/Ethyl Ester (FAME.FAEE) called biodiesel. The Classical process with cost intensive process steps such as the utilization of excess alcohol, needing downstream distillation for the recovery and reutilization of excess alcohol/cosolvent, unrecoverable homogenous catalyst which consumes vast quantity of fresh distilled water during the purification of the product and downstream waste water treatment before its safe disposal to the surface water body. The Novel Process FAME/FAEE is produced from any vegetable oil irrespective of edible or inedible variety using sonication energy. The novelty of the finding is the use of only theoretical quantity of alcohol along with a co-solvent and reduced quantity of homogeneous catalyst. Under this condition neither the homogeneous catalyst goes to the FAME layer nor is the distillation needed. The same ester also has been prepared in high pressure high temperature reactor without using catalyst at sub critical temperature. The quality of prepared biodiesel without involving any purification step meets the ASTM standards. Blended Biodiesel with Common Diesel Fuel (CDF) and FAME is prepared, characterized and used as fuel in the Kirloskar make CI Engines. The evaluation of the engine performance result of pure CDF, B05 biodiesel, B10 biodiesel of all types of biodiesel prepared by using the feedstock of Soybean (Glycine max) and Karanja (Pongamia pinnate) oil along with their mixed oil provides useful information such as brake power, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, etc, and established it as ideal fuel for unmodified CI engine.

Increasing air pollution levels and the global oil crisis has become a major hindrance in the growth of our automobile sector. Traditional Internal Combustion engines running on non-renewable fuels are proving to be the major culprit for the harmful effects on environment. With few modifications and also with assistance of few additional components current small SI engines can be modified into a pneumatic engine (commonly known as Compressed Air Engines) without much technical complications where the working fluid is compressed air. The working principle is very basic as adiabatic expansion of the compressed air takes place inside the cylinder pushing the piston downwards creating enough MEP to run the crank shaft at decent RPM. With the assistance of new research and development on pneumatic engines can explore the potential of pneumatic engines as a viable option over IC engines. The paper deals with analysis on RPM variation with corresponding compressed air injection at different crank angles from TDC keeping constant injection time period. Similarly RPM variation can also be observed at different injection pressures with similar injection angle variation. A setup employing a combination of magnetic switch (reed switch), magnets and solenoid valve is used in order to injection timing control. A conclusive data is obtained after detailed analysis of RPM variation that can be employed in newly modified pneumatic engines in order to enhance the running performance. With a number of benefits offered by pneumatic engine over IC engines such as no emissions, better efficiency, low running cost, light weight accompanied by optimized injection conditions can cause a significant development in pneumatic engines without any major alteration.

인터넷을 위하여 현재 사용되는 TCP는 MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Network)에서 사용될 때 효율성이 떨어진다. 그 이유는 무선네트워크에서 패킷 손실의 주된 원인이 통신 오류임에도 불구하고, TCP는 모든 패킷 손실을 통신혼잡에 기인한다고 가정하기 때문이다. 이러한 현상을 해소하고 성능을 제고하기 위하여, 본 논문은 전송지연시간과 전송지연시간들의 차이를 고려하여 패킷 손실의 원인을 규명하는 단-대-단 (end-to-end) 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 두 가지 특성을 지닌다. 첫째, 제안된 방법은 패킷 손실이 발생할 경우에만 작동하기 때문에 에너지 효율적이다. 둘째, 단 방향 통신에 소요된 시간을 사용함으로 왕복시간을 고려하는 기존의 방법보다 정확성이 더 높다. 제안된 방법의 페트리 넷 (Petri net) 모형을 구축하고, 시뮬레이션을 실행한 결과를 분석하여, 제안된 방법이 표준 TCP 보다 생산성(throughput)과 통신지연시간 면에서 월등히 우수함을 보인다.

최근 IoT 기술에서 BLE Beacon은 실내 측위를 위한 방법으로 많이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 정확한 측위를 위하여 필터링 기술은 필요하다. 그것은 대부분 고정형 비콘을 이용되었다. 정확한 위치 산출은 비콘을 통해 발생된 정보를 수신하여 측정하는 것은 정확성이 떨어지기 때문에 필터링이 중요하다. 그래서 위치를 산출하고, 불필요한 값을 필터링하는데 많은 시간이 소요된다. 이에 본 논문은 실내에 고정된 비콘이 아니라 이동하는 비콘의 정확한 위치 측정하고, 이를 재사용하는 방안으로 온톨로지를 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 수신세기(RSSI)는 비콘과의 거리를 나타내는 대표적인 값이다. 이 값은 값들 간의 연관관계 분석을 통한 정규화로써 위치 온톨로지를 구성한다. 이 온톨로지는 이동하는 비콘의 위치 정보를 산출하는 방법이 된다. 사용자를 식별하기 위한 식별 온톨로지와 식별된 사용자를 위한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 서비스 온톨로지를 제공한다. 이는 실내에서 빠르고 정확한 위치 정보 및 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.

실내 위치인식 기술 중 하나인 WiFi Fingerprint는 기존의 WiFi access point(AP)의 거리에 따른 신호 세기를 활용하여 위치를 추정하는 편리함 때문에 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이 방식은 Radio map에 저장된 Reference point에 의존하기 때문에 다른 방식에 비해 위치의 분해능이 떨어지고 연산량이 많다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 WiFi와 BLE를 융합한 Log-Distance Path Loss Model 기반의 Radio map 설계 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 Log-Distance Path Loss Model이 적용된 변수 값을 추출하여 Radio map을 설계하는 방식이며 Median Filter를 적용하여 오차를 개선하였다. 기존 Fingerprint와 비교하여 실험한 결과, 위치의 정확도는 평균 2.747m에서 2.112m로 0.635m 감소되는 것을 확인하였으며 연산량은 AP 환경에 따라 33%이상 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to investigate parents' behavior and attitudes regarding their kids' snacking and dietary life education. A survey was conducted with the parents (N=412) of elementary students from seven provinces, includeing Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Kwangju, Gyungnam, Chungnam, and Kangwon. Kids' snacks consisted mainly of purchased foods rather than homemade foods. Parents' main concerns regarding kids' snacks were nutrition (44.9%), taste (24.3%), and safety (23.5%). Over 50% of parents checked food labels, especially expiration date (96.4%), food ingredients (49.5%), and food additives (33.5%). The snack items frequently provided to kids were fruits (62.8%), milk (55.5%), bread (47.1%), and snack items (23.3%). Parents responded that the amount of their kids' snacking was adequate (47.8%), small (33.7%), or large (18.2%). The results show that more research is needed regarding the adequacy of kids' snacking, considering that 15.7% and 22.4% of the children ate more and less, respectively, than their daily energy requirement. 76.5% of the parents performed home education regarding their kids' dietary habits, especially on the topics of 'balanced diet' (83.9%), 'healthful food' (53.7%), and 'eating three meals a day' (40.2%). Parents obtained dietary information from TV (65.2%), internet (12.0%), and newspapers (7.0%). From this study, we found that parents perceived their kids' snacking behavior correctly, and considered home-education for their kids' dietary habits positively. However, the information resources were limited, which makes it necessary to develop parents' education programs.

Today Human Personal Trainers are becoming very famous in this health conscious world. They teach user to achieve fitness goals in managed way. Due to their high fee and tight schedule they are unavailable to mass number of people. Another solution to this problem is to develop digital personal trainer portable instrument that may replace human personal trainers. We developed a portable digital exercise trainer device - BIOFIT that manages, monitors and records the user's physical status and workout during exercise session. It guides the user to exercise efficiently for specific fitness goal. It keeps the full exercise program i.e. exercises start date and time, duration, mode, control parameter, intensity in its memory which helps the user in managing his exercise. Exercise program can be downloaded from the internet. During exercise it continuously monitors the user's physiological parameters: heart rate, number of steps walked, and energy consumed. If these parameters do not range within prescribed target zone, the BIOFIT will alarm the user as a feedback to control exercise. The BIOFIT displays these parameters on graphic LCD. During exercise it continuously records the heart rate and number of steps walked every 10 seconds along with exercise date and time. This stored information can be used as treatment for the user by an exercise expert. Real-time ECG monitoring can be viewed wirelessly (RF Communication) on a remote PC.
