본 논문은 위상코드 펄스압축(PCPC) 레이더의 재밍 효과에 대해서 기술하였다. 대표적인 PCPC 레이더인 Barker code 레이더는 송신 펄스를 13개 또는 31개의 작은 펄스로 분리하여 각 펄스신호를 위상변조하여 송신함으로써 레이더 탐지효율을 높이고 잡음이나 재밍에 대한 영향을 감소시킨다. 일반적으로 레이더는 재밍을 받으면 탐지거리는 짧아지고 탐지 에러율은 높아진다. PCPC 레이더에 잡음재밍이나 반송파 재밍을 실시한 경우에는 펄스코드 융합이 없어서 재밍 영향이 매우 작았지만, DRFM 등을 이용하여 펄스코드 신호를 복재하여 재밍신호로 사용한 동기재밍 경우에는 재밍효과가 크게 나타났다. 특히 펄스코드 신호 복재시간이 길어지면 재밍효과가 증가되는 것을 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 펄스압축 레이더와 전자전 재밍장치 재밍신호 설계에 유용하게 활용할 수 있다고 판단된다.

사물인터넷 시스템에서 배터리로 동작하는 사물인터넷 장치는 저전력 소모가 필수이다. 일반적으로 사물인터넷 장치들은 주기적으로 수면 상태에 진입하여 전력 소모를 줄인다. 하지만 비동기 사용자 요구 환경에서는 응답시간을 줄이기 위해 듀티 사이클을 줄여야 하므로 전력 소모 절감 효과가 줄어든다. 본 논문에서는 실내 전등 제어와 같은 비동기 제어가 필요한 환경에서도 장치의 전력 소모 절감 효과를 높일 수 있는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 반복 깨우기(repetitive wake-up) 기법은 스마트폰에서 깨우기 신호를 반복적으로 전송하고 사물인터넷 장치는 듀티 사이클을 최소화함으로써 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 스마트폰 앱과 사물인터넷 장치를 구현하고 실험을 통해 제안하는 반복 깨우기 기법이 기존의 동기적 수면/활동 기법보다 최대 5배 이상 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

In this study, we describe an analytical process for designing a low Earth orbit constellation for discontinuous regional coverage, to be used for a surveillance and reconnaissance space mission. The objective of this study was to configure a satellite constellation that targeted multiple areas near the Korean Peninsula. The constellation design forms part of a discontinuous regional coverage problem with a minimum revisit time. We first introduced an optimal inclination search algorithm to calculate the orbital inclination that maximizes the geometrical coverage of single or multiple ground targets. The common ground track (CGT) constellation pattern with a repeating period of one nodal day was then used to construct the rest of the orbital elements of the constellation. Combining these results, we present an analytical design process that users can directly apply to their own situation. For Seoul, for example, 39.0° was determined as the optimal orbital inclination, and the maximum and average revisit times were 58.1 min and 27.9 min for a 20-satellite constellation, and 42.5 min and 19.7 min for a 30-satellite CGT constellation, respectively. This study also compares the revisit times of the proposed method with those of a traditional Walker-Delta constellation under three inclination conditions: optimal inclination, restricted inclination by launch trajectories from the Korean Peninsula, and inclination for the sun-synchronous orbit. A comparison showed that the CGT constellation had the shortest revisit times with a non-optimal inclination condition. The results of this analysis can serve as a reference for determining the appropriate constellation pattern for a given inclination condition.

Ground displacements caused by the construction of overlapping twin shield tunnels with small turning radius are complex, especially under special geological conditions of construction. To investigate the ground displacements caused due to shield machines in the unique calcareous sand layers in Israel for the first time and determine the main factors affecting the ground displacements, field monitoring, laboratory geological analysis, theoretical calculations, and parameter studies were adopted. By using rod extensometers, inclinometers, total stations, and automatic segment-displacement monitors, subsurface tunneling-induced displacement, surface settlement, and displacement of the down-track tunnel segments caused by the construction of an up-track tunnel were analyzed. The up-track tunnel and the down-track tunnel pass through different stratum, resulting in different construction parameters and ground displacements. The laws of variation of thrust and torque, soil pressure in the chamber, excavated soil quantity, synchronous grouting pressure, and grout volume of the two tunnels from parallel to fully overlapping orientations were compared. The thrust and torque of the shield in the fine sand are larger than those in the Kurkar layer, and the grouting amount in fine sand is unstable. According to fuzzy statistics and Gaussian curve fitting of the shield tunneling speed, the tunneling speed in the Kurkar stratum is twice that in the fine-sand stratum.

Background: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a physical modality used to activate skeletal muscles for strengthening. While voluntary muscle contraction (VMC) follows the progressive recruitment of motor units in order of size from small to large, NMES-induced muscle contraction occurs in a nonselective and synchronous pattern. Therefore, the outcome of muscle strengthening training using NMES-induced versus voluntary contraction might be different, which might affect balance performance. Objects: We examined how the NMES training affected balance and proprioception. Methods: Forty-four young adults were randomly assigned to NMES and VMC group. All participants performed one-leg standing on a force plate and sat on the Biodex (Biodex R Corp.) to measure balance and ankle proprioception, respectively. All measures were conducted before and after a training session. In NMES group, electric pads were placed on the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and soleus muscles for 20 minutes. In VMC group, co-contraction of the three muscles was conducted. Outcome variables included mean distance, root mean square distance, total excursion, mean velocity, 95% confidence circle area acquired from the center of pressure data, and absolute error of dorsi/plantarflexion. Results: None of outcome variables were associated with group (p > 0.35). However, all but plantarflexion error was associated with time (p < 0.02), and the area and mean velocity were 37.0% and 18.6% lower in post than pre in NMES group, respectively, and 48.9% and 16.7% lower in post than pre in VMC group, respectively. Conclusion: Despite different physiology underlying the NMES-induced versus VMC, both training methods improved balance and ankle joint proprioception.

The task network which is formed of different individuals can be recognized as a social network. Therefore, the way to communicate with people inside or outside the network has considerable influence on their outcome. Moreover, the position on which a member stands in a network shows the different effects of the information systems supporting communication with others. In this paper, it is to be studied how personal CMC (computer-mediated communication) tools affect the mission that those who work for a network perform through diverse task networks. Especially, we focused on synchronicity of CMC. On this score, the perspective of Media Synchronicity Theory was taken that had been suggested by criticizing Media Richness Theory. It is the objective, from this perspective, to find which characteristics of networks make the value of IT supporting synchronicity high. In the research trends of social networks, there have been two traditional perspectives to explain the effect of network: embeddedness and diversity ones. These differ from the aspect which type of social network can provide much more economic benefits. As similar studies have been reported by various researchers, these are also divided into the bonding and bridging views which are based on internal and external tie, respectively, Size, density, and centrality were measured as the characteristics of personal task networks. Size means the level of relationship between members. It is the total number of other colleagues who work with a specific member for a certain project. It means, the larger the size of task network, the more the number of coworkers who interact each other through the job. Density is the ratio of the number of relationships arranged actually to the total number of available ones. In an ego-centered network, it is defined as the ratio of the number of relationship made really to the total number of possible ones between members who are actually involved each other. The higher the level of density, the larger the number of projects on which the members collaborate. Centrality means that his/her position is on the exact center of whole network. There are several methods to measure it. In this research, betweenness centrality was adopted among them. It is measured by the position on which one member stands between others in a network. The determinant to raise its level is the shortest geodesic that represents the shortest distance between members. Centrality also indicates the level of role as a broker among others. To verify the hypotheses, we interviewed and surveyed a group of employees of a nationwide financial organization in which a groupware system is used. They were questioned about two CMC applications: MSN with a higher level of synchronicity and email with a lower one. As a result, the larger the size of his/her own task network, the smaller its density and the higher the level of his/her centrality, the higher the level of the effect using the task network with CMC tools. Above all, this positive effect is verified to be much more produced while using CMC applications with higher-level synchronicity. Among the a variety of situations under which the use of CMC gives more benefits, this research is considered as one of rare cases regarding the characteristics of task network as moderators by focusing ITs for the operation of his/her own task network. It is another contribution of this research to prove empirically that the values of information system depend on the social, or comparative, characteristic of time. Though the same amount of time is shared, the social characteristics of users change its value. In addition, it is significant to examine empirically that the ITs with higher-level synchronicity have the positive effect on productivity. Many businesses are worried about the negative effect of synchronous ITs, for their employees are likely to use them for personal social activities. However. this research can help to dismiss the concern against CMC tools.

여러가지 미디어를 통합하여 처리가 가능한 광대역 ISDN의 서비스 전개를 경제적 으로 실현하기 위해서는 지상망과 위성망을 조합한 시스템을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 이러한 위성을 이용한 전송방식으로서는 다양한 지역에 산재한 사용자를 효율적으로 수용 가능한 TDMA 방식이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 동기 방식인 위성 TDMA회선과 비동기 전송 모드인 ATM을 이용하는 지상망의 접속에 있어서는 셀 지연 변이로 대표되는 ATM 전송품질의 열화가 큰 문제로 된다. 따라서 비동기 전송에 대응 가능한 지연 변이의 보상 방식이 필요하게 된다. 이 ATM과 TDMA 간의 변환에서는 지연 변이의 초대 효율을 요구값 이하로 억제하고 전송 셀의 버스트 특성이 증가하지 않는 조건으로 위성회선을 효율적으로 이용하는 방법 등이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 우선 지상망에서 검토되 殷있는 타임 스탬프(time stamp)방식을 지연변이 보상 방법으로 위성회선에 이용한 경우의 문제점을 해석하였다.그리고이를 해결하기 위한 이산 셀 계수 방법을제안하여 셀전송 타이밍 정보의 전송용량과 오류율을 해석하였다. 또한 셀 전송타이밍 정보에 부호 오류가 일어난 경우에도 시스템은 안정되게 동작하고 신뢰성이 검증되어 제안된 보상 방법이 우수함을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 전력소모 감소 및 강건성 (robustness) 향상을 위한 새로운 구조의 플립-플롭을 제안한다. 가변 샘플링 윈도우 플립-플롭(Variable sampling window flip-flop, VSWFF)은 입력 데이터에 따라 샘플링 윈도우의 폭을 변화시켜 강인한 데이터-래치 동작을 제공할 뿐 아니라 더욱 짧은 hold time을 갖는다. 또한, 이 플립-플롭은 입력 스위칭 행위(input switching activity)가 큰 경우에 기존의 저전력 플립-플롭보다 내부 전력소모를 감소시킬 수 있다. 클럭 진폭 감쇄형 가변 샘플링 윈도우 플립-플롭(Clock swing-reduced variable sampling window flip-flop, CSR-VSWFF)은 작은 스윙 폭의 클럭을 사용함으로써 클럭분배망(clock distribution network)의 전력소모를 감소시킬 수 있다. 기존의 클럭 진폭 감쇄형 플립-플롭(Reduced clock swing flip-flop, RCSFF)과 달리, 제안된 플립-플롭은 공급전압만으로 동작하므로 고전압의 발생 및 분배로 인한 설계 상의 비용증가를 제거한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 기존의 플립-플롭과 비교하여 더욱 좁은 샘플링 윈도우에서도 불변의 지연값(latency) 을 유지하고 전력-지연 곱(power-delay product, PDP)이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 제안된 플립-플롭의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 $0.3\mu m$ CMOS 공정기술을 이용하여 테스트 칩을 설계하였으며, 실험 결과, VSWFF는 입력 스위칭 행위가 최대일 때 전력소모가 감소하며 CSR-YSWFF를 이용하여 설계된 동기 카운터는 부가 고전압의 사용 없이 전력소모가 감소됨을 확인하였다.

Background/Objectives: Brain metastasis (BM) is a rare form of distant metastasis with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Patients with BM of PTC carry a poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to contribute to the understanding of this disease by analyzing patients with BM of PTC. Materials & Methods: Between March 2003 and December 2013, the patient database was conducted to identify thyroid cancer patients treated. Among the 22,758 thyroid cancer patients, 14 (0.06 %) were identified to have metastasis to the brain during follow-up. The medical records of 14 patients with BM were retrospectively reviewed, focusing on the following: patient characteristics, synchronous or previous distant metastasis, treatments including whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and surgery, and characteristics on radiologic findings, time interval between first diagnosis of primary thyroid cancer and BM and survival after BM. Results: The mean age at initial diagnosis and BM were $50.9{\pm}15.8years$ and $61.3{\pm}12.7years$. The mean duration between initial diagnosis and BM was $10.4{\pm}7.9years$. Patients were treated with varied combinations of surgery, SRS and WBRT except 4 patients who had refused treatment. The median overall survival (OS) time after BM diagnosis was 10 months (range 1 - 19). Patients receiving treatment (WBRT and/or surgery, SRS) had a significant longer median OS of 16.5 months in comparison to 3.5 months for those treated without treatment. (p = 0.005) Conclusion: Patients who received aggressive treatment had a longer OS than those with only supportive care. Treatment such as surgery, SRS and WBRT should be considered in patients with BM.
