Today's Internet of Things (IoT) has had a dramatic increase in the use of various daily aspects. As a consequence, many homes adopt IoT technology to move towards the smart home. So, the home can be called smart when it has a range of smart devices that are united into one network, such as cameras, sensors, etc. While IoT smart home devices bring numerous benefits to human life, there are many security concerns associated with these devices. These security concerns, such as user privacy, can result in an insecure application. In this research, we focused on analyzing the vulnerabilities of IoT smart home cameras. This will be done by designing a new model that follows the STRIDE approach to identify these threats in order to afford an efficient and secure IoT device. Then, apply a number of test cases on a smart home camera in order to verify the usage of the proposed model. Lastly, we present a scheme for mitigation techniques to prevent any vulnerabilities that might occur in IoT devices.

Because of the small number of spacecraft available in the Earth's magnetosphere at any given time, it is not possible to obtain direct measurements of the fundamental quantities, such as the magnetic field and plasma density, with a spatial coverage necessary for studying, global magnetospheric phenomena. In such cases, empirical as well as physics-based models are proven to be extremely valuable. This requires not only having high fidelity and high accuracy models, but also knowing the weakness and strength of such models. In this study, we assess the accuracy of the widely used Tsyganenko magnetic field models, T96, T01, and T04, by comparing the calculated magnetic field with the ones measured in-situ by the GOES satellites during geomagnetically disturbed times. We first set the baseline accuracy of the models from a data-model comparison during the intervals of geomagnetically quiet times. During quiet times, we find that all three models exhibit a systematic error of about 10% in the magnetic field magnitude, while the error in the field vector direction is on average less than 1%. We then assess the model accuracy by a data-model comparison during twelve geomagnetic storm events. We find that the errors in both the magnitude and the direction are well maintained at the quiet-time level throughout the storm phase, except during the main phase of the storms in which the largest error can reach 15% on average, and exceed well over 70% in the worst case. Interestingly, the largest error occurs not at the Dst minimum but 2-3 hours before the minimum. Finally, the T96 model has consistently underperformed compared to the other models, likely due to the lack of computation for the effects of ring current. However, the T96 and T01 models are accurate enough for most of the time except for highly disturbed periods.

This paper deals with the reliability analysis of a complex system with three possibilities at the time of repair. The considered system consists of two subsystems A and Bin series configuration (1-out-of-2: F). Subsystem A has n units which are connected in series whereas subsystem B consists of n units in parallel configuration. The configuration of subsystem A is of 1-out-of-n: F whereas subsystem B is of k-out-of-n: D and k+1-out-of-n: F nature. System has three states: Good, degraded and failed. Supplementary variable technique has been used for mathematical formulation of the model. Laplace transform is being utilized to solve the mathematical equation. Reliability, Availability, M.T.T.F., Busy Period and Cost effectiveness of the system have been computed. The repairs from state $S_7$ to $S_0$, $S_8$ to $S_0$, $S_9$ to $S_0$ and $S_{11}$ to $S_0$ have two types namely exponential and general. Joint probability distribution of repair rate from $S_7$ to $S_0$, $S_8$ to $S_0$, $S_9$ to $S_0$ and $S_{11}$ to $S_0$ is computed by Gumbel-Hougaard family of copula. Some particular cases of the system have also been derived to see the practical importance of the model.

A dynamic compartment model was required for the prediction of radiological consequences of the tritiated vapor released from the nuclear facility after an accident. A computer code, ECOREA-T, was developed by incorporating the unit models for the evaluation of tritium behavior in the environment. Dry deposition of tritiated vapor from the atmosphere to the soil was calculated using a deposition velocity. Transport of tritium from the atmosphere to the plant was calculated using a specific activity model, and the result was compared with the Belot's analytic solution. Root uptake of tritiated water from the soil and formation of OBT from T were considered in the model. The ECOREA-T code was verified by comparing the results from the other computer codes using a scenario developed through BIOMOVS II study. The results showed good agreements.

The probabilistic information of directional extreme wind speeds is important for precisely estimating the design wind loads on structures. A new joint probability distribution model of directional extreme wind speeds is established based on observed wind-speed data using multivariate extreme value theory with the t-Copula function in the present study. At first, the theoretical deficiencies of the Gaussian-Copula and Gumbel-Copula models proposed by previous researchers for the joint probability distribution of directional extreme wind speeds are analysed. Then, the t-Copula model is adopted to solve this deficiency. Next, these three types of Copula models are discussed and evaluated with Spearman's rho, the parametric bootstrap test and the selection criteria based on the empirical Copula. Finally, the extreme wind speeds for a given return period are predicted by the t-Copula model with observed wind-speed records from several areas and the influence of dependence among directional extreme wind speeds on the predicted results is discussed.

우리나라 벼 수량의 기상반응을 종합적으로 검토하여 벼 수량예측모델을 구축하고자 1985년부터 1999년까지 15년간 수행한 20개 지역의 벼 지역적응시험 자료를 이용하여 기상에 대한 수량반응의 최대경계선(boundary line)분석을 하였으며, 이에 근거하여 수량예측모형을 설정하였다. 1. 벼의 생육기간을 영양생장기, 생식생장기, 등숙기로 구분하고 각 발육단계를 15-20일 간으로 구분하여 각 시기의 기상요소에 대한 수량반응의 최대경계선은 평균기온( $T_{a}$ )과 일조시수( $S_{h}$)에 대해서는 지수함수 f( $T_{a}$ )=$\beta$$_{0}$(1-exp(-$\beta$$_1$/$\times$ $T_{a}$ ), f( $S_{h}$)=$\beta$$_{0}$(1-exp(-$\beta$$_1$$\times$ $T_{h}$)로 나타났으며 일교차(Tr)는 2차함수 f( $T_{r}$)=$\beta$0(1-( $T_{r}$-$\beta$$_1$)$^2$)로, 이 식에서 상수항 $\beta$$_{0}$를 제거하여 수량에 대한 각 기상요소의 영향도를 0-1로 나타내는 기상지수로 나타내었다. 2. 각 생육시기의 평균기온, 일조시간 및 일교차에 대한 수량반응의 최대경계선이외에 불임에 의한 등숙률 저하와 그에 따른 수량감소를 고려하기 위하여 Uchijima(1976)가 제안한 냉각도일수(cooling degree day)를 출수전 30일간의 생식생장기에 계산하여 이에 대한 수량과 등숙률 반응의 최대경계선을 계산하였는데 냉각도일수가 증가하면 수량이 감소하는 지수함수로 잘 표현되어 기존의 연구들과 같은 결과였다. 3. 기상지수는 벼의 생육기간을 영양생장기, 생식생장기 및 등숙기로 구별하고 각 시기별로 수량 기상지수를 각 기상요소 기상지수를 기하평균하여 산출하였는데 각 시기별 수량기상지수의 수량변이 설명도는 각각 0.383-0.430, 0.460-0.534, 0.4603-0.587로 결정계수는 영양생장기＜생식생장기＜등숙기의 순으로 컸다. 4. 최대경계선 분석방법을 통하여 얻어진 각 생육시기별 수량기상지수를 기하평균하여 구한 종합수량기상지수와 수량과의 직선회귀식을 구하여 수량예측모형(Model I, II, III)을 작성하였다. Model I, II, III)은 각각 결정계수가 0.6512, 0.6703, 0.6129로 모든 생육단계에 걸쳐서 기간을 15-20일 단위로 세분하여 모든 기간의 수량에 대한 기상지수를 고려하여 전 생육기간의 종합수량기상지수를 산출한 Model II가 기상변화에 따른 수량변이의 설명도가 가장 높았다.

Purpose: To investigate the value of MR textural analysis, including use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to differentiate malignant from benign soft-tissue tumors on 3T MRI. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 69 patients (25 men, 44 women, ages 18 to 84 years) with pathologically confirmed soft-tissue tumors (29 benign, 40 malignant) who underwent pre-treatment 3T-MRI. We calculated MR texture, including mean, standard deviation (SD), skewness, kurtosis, mean of positive pixels (MPP), and entropy, according to different spatial-scale factors (SSF, 0, 2, 4, 6) on axial T1- and T2-weighted images (T1WI, T2WI), contrast-enhanced T1WI (CE-T1WI), high b-value DWI (800 sec/mm²), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. We used the Mann-Whitney U test, logistic regression, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for statistical analysis. Results: Malignant soft-tissue tumors had significantly lower mean values of DWI, ADC, T2WI and CE-T1WI, MPP of ADC, and CE-T1WI, but significantly higher kurtosis of DWI, T1WI, and CE-T1WI, and entropy of DWI, ADC, and T2WI than did benign tumors (P < 0.050). In multivariate logistic regression, the mean ADC value (SSF, 6) and kurtosis of CE-T1WI (SSF, 4) were independently associated with malignancy (P ≤ 0.009). A multivariate model of MR features worked well for diagnosis of malignant soft-tissue tumors (AUC, 0.909). Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis could be obtained using MR textural analysis with DWI and CE-T1WI in differentiating benign from malignant soft-tissue tumors.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death in the world. As a non-invasive imaging modality, computed tomography angiography (CTA) is now usually used in clinical practice for CAD diagnosis. Precise quantification of coronary stenosis is of great interest for diagnosis and treatment planning. In this paper, a novel cluster method based on a Modified Student's t-Mixture Model is applied to separate the region of vessel lumen from other tissues. Then, the area of the vessel lumen in each slice is computed and the estimated value of it is fitted with a curve. Finally, the location and the level of the most stenoses are captured by comparing the calculated and fitted areas of the vessel. The proposed method has been applied to 17 clinical CTA datasets and the results have been compared with reference standard degrees of stenosis defined by an expert. The results of the experiment indicate that the proposed method can accurately quantify the stenosis of the coronary artery in CTA.

IoT 환경에서 사용자에게 상황인지 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 상황정보가 필요하다. 이를 위해 센서나 액츄에이터 같은 장치에서 수집된 데이터를 온톨로지를 통해 상황정보로 변환한다. 기존의 상황인지 서비스를 위한 온톨로지는 타겟 서비스를 기반으로 온톨로지를 설계하여 사용자의 요구사항, 서비스 조건, 환경 등이 변하거나 또는 전혀 다른 서비스를 원할 경우 온톨로지를 전반적으로 재설계해야 하는 불편함이 있다. 이러한 점을 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 사용자가 장소나 상황에 구애 받지 않고 자신이 원하는 장소에서 원하는 서비스를 정의할 수 있는 크로스 버티컬(Cross-vertical) 온톨로지 모델인 Generic Ontology Models(GOMs)를 제안한다. 또한 IoT 서비스의 데이터 흐름을 나타내는 IoT 서비스 개념 모델과 IoT 서비스를 제공하기 위한 IoT 서비스 환경을 제안하고 제안된 환경에서 GOMs를 이용하여 다양한 서비스 시나리오에 적용해봄으로써 IoT 환경에서 상황인지 서비스가 가능함을 보인다.
