Little is known about the movements of finless porpoises Neophocaena asiaeorientalis and their relationship with sea surface temperature (SST). A female finless porpoise that was stranded alive on the shore at Busan was rehabilitated for 16 months at the Sea Life Busan Aquarium. The porpoise was released off Geoje Island with a satellite tag on her mid-ridge and tracking data were received for 7 days. The porpoise moved directly to the southern shore of Gadeok Island, where an earlier study reported that finless porpoises were most abundant around the island. The tracking route revealed two other potential primary habitats. The porpoise moved to the middle of the east coast of the Korean Peninsula at Uljin, beyond the distribution boundary known from earlier studies. Satellite infrared images detected a cold water mass off the Uljin coast and the tracking route showed that the porpoise avoided this low-temperature area.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for MIMO beamforming for the backscatter communication using a multi-tag to improve the efficiency of energy harvesting and the BER of received signals. We obtain a normal channel information through a communication between the H-AP and multi-tag. The H-AP sets parameters for the transmission scenario of the spatial channel model (SCM) using the obtained channel information and generates a SCM channel information. Then, the H-AP transmits signals that have optimal transmission power to increase the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) to each of tags. Tags perform a backscatter communication with signals. The receiver performs a time switching technique of energy harvesting using backscatter signals from the multi-tag. Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and the harvesting efficiency and BER at the receiver is greatly improved.

Effective management of ULD (Unit Load Device) in Air Cargo Transportation is one of the Airline's main concerns. At present, the way of management of ULD which has the ID tag based on RFID is carried by cargo control staff with PDA. However, the activity of ULD management is limitted due to complexity of cargo terminal facilities. In this study, we offer the effective way of management of ULD by the DRONE equipped by LED-ID & RFID READER at the higher altitude in Air Cargo Terminal to recover the difficulty of identification due to complexity of terminal facilities. Further to the above, we suggest the operational effectiveness, limitation, and the direction of future research.

Recently, the pop-up satellite archival tag (PSAT) is being used in studies as a method of using satellites for monitoring organisms. Because PSATs are attached directly on the organism being monitored, it is used mostly on larger species since the health of the organism is an important concern. For this reason, PSAT-based surveys are lacking in Korea with no studies on the physiological responses of organisms with PSAT attached. Accordingly, as a basic biomonitoring study using PSAT, the present study investigated the physiological changes in fish in response to the attachment of PSAT. The present study used red seabream (Pagrus major) and Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) as the experimental fish. The PSAT was attached to the muscle below the experimental fish's dorsal fin using a mono filament (n = 3). To investigate the changes in physiological responses according to PSAT attachment, blood samples were collected from all experimental fish, including the control (n = 3), at 1, 7, 14 and 21 days after the attachment. Upon blood sample collection, whole blood was used to measure hematocrit and hemoglobin levels. After separating the plasma, the separated plasma was used to measure the GOT, GPT, glucose, total protein, and cholesterol levels. Meanwhile, the plasma cortisol, superoxide dismutase, and catalase levels were measured using the ELISA method. The results showed that attaching the tag did not have any impact on the immunity and stress response of the experimental fish. The findings in this study also demonstrated the possibility of using PSAT for studying relatively smaller species living in the coastal waters of Korea.

As ESL(Electronic Shelf Label) system is increased at the market in the world, the interference between ESL system and Wi-Fi(Wireless Fidelity) Cellular Phone at 2.4GHz becomes issue. The interference scenario and propagation of the Extended HATA Model were established to analyze the interference from Wi-Fi Cellular Phone into ESL system. Through simulation results based on SEAMCAT(Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool), separation distance was obtained to protect ESL system from Wi-Fi Cellular Phone interference.

This study aimed to determine the effect of the pop-up satellite archival tag (PSAT) tagging method on the blood indices and PSAT attachment efficiency of yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata (mean body weight 10.2 kg). Based on tagging method, the fishes were divided in four different groups: untagged (control), single anchor (SA), dual anchor (DA), and silicon tube (ST). The blood indices and PSAT attachment efficiency were investigated on days 1, 14, and 28 after tagging PSAT on the muscle below the dorsal fin for each tagging method in triplicates. After 28 days of tagging with PSAT, a significant increase was observed in plasma glucose level in the ST group and in total protein level in the DA and ST groups. The levels of glucose, total protein, and total cholesterol in the SA group after 28 days of tagging were significantly lower than in the control group. The efficiencies of PSAT attachment were 0% in the SA and DA groups on 14 days post-tagging, and 66.7% in the ST group on 28 days post-tagging. The study results indicate that the proper PSAT tagging method is the ST type. The information obtained in this study presents valuable data that provide the required PSAT operational tool for industrial development and ecological monitoring of yellowtail.

This paper proposes a virtual target overlay technique for a realistic training simulation which projects a virtual target on ground-based CCD images according to an appointed scenario. This method creates a realistic 3D model for instructors by using high resolution GeoTIFF (Geographic Tag Image File Format) satellite images and DTED(Digital Terrain Elevation Data), and it extracts road areas from the given CCD images for both instructors and trainees, Since there is much difference in observation position, resolution, and scale between satellite Images and ground-based sensor images, feature-based matching faces difficulty, Hence, we propose a moving synchronization technique that projects the targets on sensor images according to the moving paths marked on 3D satellite images. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with satellite and sensor images of Daejoen.

To obtain geographical range and growth-kinetics parameters of mottled sake (Beringraja pulchra) populations in the Yellow Sea, three mark-recapture experiments were carried out. Overall, 991 tagged individuals were released, and 4.1% of them were recaptured with the mean release period of 339 d (range, 8-1,420 d) and the mean growth rate of $1.4cm\;mon^{-1}$ (female, $1.5cm\;mon^{-1}$; male $1.3cm\;mon^{-1}$). In the first experiment, 667 individuals were released at Heuksan Island from April to June, 2007-2009, and 30 individuals were recaptured mainly at the north and the north-east coasts of the island, indicating absence of migration to the south of the island. In the second experiment, 323 individuals were released at several fishing grounds scattered in the Yellow Sea in 2010-2013, and 11 individuals were recaptured at points deviated to all directions from the releasing points. As the last, one individual was released with pop-up satellite archival tag at a costal point ($34^{\circ}37.2$'N, $124^{\circ}59.3$'E) off Hong Island on May 21, 2010. The tagged individual migrated to a north-east location ($35^{\circ}50.4$'N, $126^{\circ}03.6$'E) of Eocheong Island by Aug. 25, 2010. The data archived for the three months in the tag indicated that the migration path had depths of 48-80 m and temperature of $12.6-14.4^{\circ}C$. The results indicated that mottled sake populations had a localized habitat ranges at the north of Heuksan Island and the west of Hong Island while growing at the rate of $1.4cm\;mon^{-1}$.

In this paper, we describe the configuration of the KITSAT-3 image data receiving, archiving, processing and distribution system in operation. Following the low-cost and software-based design concept, the whole system is composed of three PCs : two for data receiving, archiving and processing which provide a full dual-redundant configuration and one for image catalog browsing which can be accessed by public users. Except that receiving and archiving PCs have serial data ingest boards plugged in, they are configured by general peripherals. This basic and simple hardware configuration made it possible to show that a very low cost system can support a full ground operation for the utilization of high-resolution satellite image data.

This paper covers the development of a highly portable and low cost SPOT image data receiving system. We followed two design approaches. One is the software-based approach by which most of the real-time processing is handled by software. With the complete software-based design, it is simple to add a function for receiving any additional satellite data. Satellite-specific format handlers including error correction, decompression and decryption can easily be accommodated. On the other approach. we used a general hardware platform, IBM-PC and a low cost SCSI RAID (Redundant Away of Independent Disks), and therefore, we can make a low cost system.
