Modeling non-point pollution across multiple scales has become an important environmental issue. As a more representative and practical approach in quantifying and qualifying surface water, a modular neural network (MNN) was implemented in this study. Two different site-scales ($1.5\;{\times}\;10^5$ and $1.62\;{\times}\;10^6\;m^2$) with the same plants, soils, and paddy field management practices, were selected. Hydrologic data (rainfall, irrigation and surface discharge) and water quality data (time-series nutrient loadings) were continuously monitored and then used for the verification of MNN performance. Correlation coefficients (R) for the results predicted from the networks versus measured values were within the range of 0.41 to 0.95. The small block could be extrapolated to the large field for the rainfall-surface drainage process. Nutrient prediction produced less favorable results due to the complex phenomena of nutrients in the drainage water. However, the feasibility of using MNN to generate improved prediction accuracy was demonstrated if more hydrologic and environmental data are provided. The study findings confirmed the estimation accuracy of the upscaling from a small-segment block to large-scale paddy field, thereby contributing to the establishment of water quality management for sustainable agriculture.

최근 무수한 센서 노드들로 구성된 무선 센서 네크워크는 물리적인 환경을 감독하고 분석하는데 많은 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다. 그러나, 센서 네트워크는 매우 많은 노드들이 통신에 참여하고 전력이 제한된다는 점에서 기존의 네트워크와 매우 차별된다. 이러한 독특한 특징 때문에 센서네트워크의 데이타 질의를 포함한 센서 네트워크 데이타 관리는 주목할 만한 연구분야가 되고 있다. 또한 인터넷의 활발한 보급과 사용의 편리함 때문에 독립적인 한 네트워크에 대한 감독과 관리에 있어 인터넷을 통한 원격의 웹기반 네트워크 관리기술을 사용하는 것이 일반적으로 고려되고 있다. 그리하여 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크 데이타 질의 및 관리를 보다 효율적으로 하기 위한 웹기반의 센서 데이타 질의 서버와 이를 기반으로 한 게이트웨이의 구조를 제안하고, 제안된 웹기반의 센서 게이트웨이의 구현관련 세부사항과 그 결과를 기술한다. 제안된 웹기반 게이트웨이는 크게 두 부분으로 구성된다.(인터넷 관련 처리부분과 센서 데이터 처리부분) 센서 데이타 처리부분은 인터넷으로 전달된 사용자의 질의와 해당하는 데이타를 다양한 센서 네트워크(평면적 또는 계층적)에 적용 가능한 센서 데이타 질의 및 데이타 관리를 대행하는 역할을 하며, 인터넷 관련 처리부분에서는 센서 네트워크와 인터넷 사이의 순조로운 데이타 교환을 위한 모듈화된 게이트웨이 기능을 공급한다.

지구 온난화 문제와 화석 연료 양의 한계 때문에 재생 가능한 전력 생산에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 특히 재생 에너지 중 태양광 에너지의 전력 생산 비율은 점차 증가함에 따라 집광형 태양광발전 시스템은 높은 전력 생산량으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 이 시스템은 태양광 중첩률이 높을 때 가장 높은 발전 효율을 내기 때문에 허용 오차 범위가 작은 정밀 태양 추적 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복잡한 환경에 대응할 수 있는 베이지안 네트워크와 나이브 베이즈 분류기를 이용한 계층적 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 베이지안 네트워크는 불완전하고 불확실한 상황을 모델링 하는데 강력한 모델로 충분한 양의 데이터가 없을 경우에도 도메인 지식을 바탕으로 네트워크를 설계할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 제안하는 계층적 확률 시스템에서는 불확실한 하늘 상황을 9개로 분류하고 모듈형 베이지안 네트워크를 이용하여 현재 날씨 상황을 추론한다. 또한 나이브 베이즈 분류기를 이용하여 추론된 날씨 상황을 고려한 효율적인 추적 방법을 분류하고 선택한다. 베이지안 네트워크의 유용성을 평가하기 위해 실제 날씨 데이터를 수집하였고 평균 93.9%의 정확도(Accuracy)를 보였다. 또한, 제안하는 시스템과 핀홀 카메라 시스템의 태양광발전 효율을 비교한 결과 약 16.58%의 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In the ubiquitous computing environment, an intelligent vehicle is defined as a sensor node with a capability of intelligence and communication in a wire and wireless network space. To make it real, a lot of problems should be addressed in the aspect of vehicle mobility, in-vehicle communication, common service platform and the connection of heterogeneous networks to provide a driver with several intelligent information services beyond the time and space. In this paper, we present an intelligent information system for managing in-vehicle sensor network and a vehicle gateway for connecting the external networks. The in-vehicle sensor network connected with several sensor nodes is used to collect sensor data and control the vehicle based on CAN protocol. Each sensor node is equipped with a reusable modular node architecture, which contains a common CAN stack, a message manager and an event handler. The vehicle gateway makes vehicle control and diagnosis from a remote host possible by connecting the in-vehicle sensor network with an external network. Specifically, it gives an access to the external mobile communication network such as CDMA. Some experiments was made to find out how long it takes to communicate between a vehicle's intelligent information system and an external server in the various environment. The results show that the average response time amounts to 776ms at fixed place, 707ms at rural area and 910ms at urban area.

Post-genomics may be defined in different ways depending on how one views the challenges after the genome. A popular view is to follow the concept of the central dogma in molecular biology, namely from genome to transcriptome to proteome. Projects are going on to analyze gene expression profiles both at the mRNA and protein levels and to catalog protein 3D structure families, which will no doubt help the understanding of information in the genome. However complete, such catalogs of genes, RNAs, and proteins only tell us about the building blocks of life. They do not tell us much about the wiring (interaction) of building blocks, which is essential for uncovering systemic functional behaviors of the cell or the organism. Thus, an alternative view of post-genomics is to go up from the molecular level to the cellular level, and to understand, what I call, the "interactome"or a complete picture of molecular interactions in the cell. KEGG (http://www.genome.ad.jp/kegg/) is our attempt to computerize current knowledge on various cellular processes as a collection of "generalized"protein-protein interaction networks, to develop new graph-based algorithms for predicting such networks from the genome information, and to actually reconstruct the interactomes for all the completely sequenced genomes and some partial genomes. During the reconstruction process, it becomes readily apparent that certain pathways and molecular complexes are present or absent in each organism, indicating modular structures of the interactome. In addition, the reconstruction uncovers missing components in an otherwise complete pathway or complex, which may result from misannotation of the genome or misrepresentation of the KEGG pathway. When combined with additional experimental data on protein-protein interactions, such as by yeast two-hybrid systems, the reconstruction possibly uncovers unknown partners for a particular pathway or complex. Thus, the reconstruction is tightly coupled with the annotation of individual genes, which is maintained in the GENES database in KEGG. We are also trying to expand our literature surrey to include in the GENES database most up-to-date information about gene functions.

Exponentially increasing biopathway data in recent years provide us with means to elucidate the large-scale modular organization of the cell. Given the existing information on metabolic and regulatory networks, inferring biopathway information through scientific reasoning or data mining of large scale array data or proteomics data get great attention. Naturally, there is a need for a user-friendly system allowing the user to combine large and diverse pathway data sets from different resources. We built a data warehouse - BIOWAY - for analyzing and visualizing biological pathways, by integrating and customizing resources. We have collected many different types of data in regards to pathway information, including metabolic pathway data from KEGG/LIGAND, signaling pathway data from BIND, and protein information data from SWISS-PROT. In addition to providing general data retrieval mechanism, a successful user interface should provide convenient visualization mechanism since biological pathway data is difficult to conceptualize without graphical representations. Still, the visual interface in the previous systems, at best, uses static images only for the specific categorized pathways. Thus, it is difficult to cope with more complex pathways. In the BIOWAY system, all the pathway data can be displayed in computer generated graphical networks, rather than manually drawn image data. Furthermore, it is designed in such a way that all the pathway maps can be expanded or shrinked, by introducing the concept of super node. A subtle graphic layout algorithm has been applied to best display the pathway data.

Recently, most vehicles has the Automatic transmission system as their transmission system. The automatic transmission system operates with fixed shift patterns. In the opposite of manual operation, it is easy and convenient for driving. Though these merit, the system can not evaluate the driver's intension because of usage of firmed shift pattern. Especially, when the load has declination the AT system must operate for engine break effect. Namely, if the vehicle drives on the load of decrease, the acceleration of the vehicle goes to high then. At that time, the shift goes to down position the vehicle has some negative acceleration with the resistance of engine. To consider driver's intension in this case, we must consider both the driving intensity of driver and the status of load. In this paper, we developed flexible automatic transmission system by using the proposed moduled neural networks which can learn the status of the load and driver's intensity As a result, we compare the transmission system using firmed shift pattern and the proposed transmission system and show the good performance in the change of shift position.

To provide tile information ell severe accident progression is very important for advanced or new type of nuclear power plant (NPP) design. A parametric study, therefore was performed to investigate the effect of thermal hydraulic design parameters ell severe accident progression of pressurized water reactors (PWRs), Nine parameters, which are considered important in NPP design or severe accident progression, were selected among the various thermal hydraulic design parameters. The backpropagation neural network (BPN) was used to determine parameters, which might more strongly affect the severe accident progression, among mile parameters. For training. different input patterns were generated by the latin hypercube sampling (LHS) technique and then different target patterns that contain core uncovery time and vessel failure time were obtained for Young Gwang Nuclear (YGN) Units 3&4 using modular accident analysis program (MAAP) 3.0B code. Three different severe accident scenarios, such as two loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs) and station blackout(SBO), were considered in this analysis. Results indicated that design parameters related to refueling water storage tank (RWST), accumulator and steam generator (S/G) have more dominant effects on the progression of severe accidents investigated, compared to tile other six parameters.

Feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs) over 2-adic number would be suitable in hardware implementation, but the are not efficient in software implementation since their basic unit (the size of register clls) is 1-bit. In order to improve the efficiency we consider FCSRs over $2^{\ell}$-adic number (i.e., FCSRs with register cells of size ${\ell}$-bit) that produce ${\ell}$ bits at every clocking where ${\ell}$ will be taken as the size of normal words in modern CPUs (e.g., ${\ell}$ = 32). But, it is difficult to deal with the carry that happens when the size of summation results exceeds that of normal words. We may use long variables (declared with 'unsigned _int64' or 'unsigned long long') or conditional operators (such as 'if' statement) to handle the carry, but both the arithmetic operators over long variables and the conditional operators are not efficient comparing with simple arithmetic operators (such as shifts, maskings, xors, modular additions, etc.) over variables of size ${\ell}$-hit. In this paper, we propose some conditions for FCSRs over $2^{\ell}$-adic number which admit fast software implementations using only simple operators. Moreover, we give two implementation examples for the FCSRs. Our simulation result shows that the proposed methods are twice more efficient than usual methods using conditional operators.
