In order to develop an obesity management program for teenagers, we compared obese and non-obese girls attending high schools in terms of their dietary practices related to snack consumption. Dietary records were collected for 7 days. No significant differences were found for the average daily energy intake between obese and non-obese girls. However, the highest energy intake was greater for obese girls while not much difference was found for the lowest amount of energy intake. Obese girls had significantly lower intakes in calcium (P < 0.01), vitamin A (P < 0.001) and folate (P < 0.01). Mean energy intake from snack ($594.1{\pm}312.1kcal$) was significantly higher for obese girls than for non-obese girls ($360.1{\pm}173.1kcal$) (P < 0.001). A significant, positive correlation was observed between energy intake from snack and total daily energy intake (r = 0.34 P < 0.01) only for obese girls. In case of dietary behaviors, obese adolescent girls consumed significantly greater number of items for snacks and fewer foods for regular meals compared to non-obese girls (P < 0.05). This study suggested that obesity management programs for adolescents should focus on providing strategies to reduce snack through enhancing balanced regular meals.

Alternative sources of energy take a higher interest in order to reduce the greenhouse gas under the Climate Change Convention, fossil fuel consumption, and lower social anxiety about nuclear power such as crisis involving the Fukushima plant, problem of obsolete equipment. The energy consumption of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in South Korea is 3,082,000toe by 2011, reliance on electrical energy(35%) and oil(57.2%) is very high with 92.2%. In this study, we examined reserves and available capacity of temperature difference energy for thermal discharge from plant, treated sewage, river water, dam, and agricultural reservoir in rural community. Reserves of unutilized energy are 455,735Tcal/yr in rural community, these accounts for 78% of total reserves 582,385Tcal/y. Thermal discharge from plant has the most reserves of unutilized energy in rural community, it is estimated that it has the reserves of 277,410Tcal/y. Available capacity of unutilized energy in rural community is total 134,147Tcal/y, thermal discharge from plant available for heating is the most 128,035Tcal/y, and it shows in the order of treated sewage 4,318Tcal/y, river water 1,653Tcal/y, and reservoir 141Tcal/y. Elevating temperature area of green house by 2012 is 21,208ha. The amount of energy required for heating the greenhouse a year is dbout 11,365Tcal/y with 8.5% of the total available capacity of unutilized energy.

본 논문에서는 사물인터넷 환경에서 통신 기기들이 정보를 직접 공유하고자 할 때 전체 네트워크의 에너지 소모량을 최소화하기 위한 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 매 전송 시 동적으로 전송 노드 및 전송 데이터를 선택하는 효과적인 네트워크 부호화 기법을 사용하여 정보 공유에 필요한 총 전송 횟수를 감소시킨다. 실험을 통하여 기존의 고정된 순서로 전송 노드를 설정하는 네트워크 부호화 방식, 랜덤한 순서로 전송 노드를 설정하는 네트워크 부호화 방식, 그리고 랜덤한 순서로 전송 노드를 설정하는 비부호화 방식에 비해 총 전송 횟수 측면에서 보다 뛰어난 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

For the mobile edge computing (MEC) system supporting dense network, a joint allocation algorithm of computing and communication resources based on reinforcement learning is proposed. The energy consumption of task execution is defined as the maximum energy consumption of each user's task execution in the system. Considering the constraints of task unloading, power allocation, transmission rate and calculation resource allocation, the problem of joint task unloading and resource allocation is modeled as a problem of maximum task execution energy consumption minimization. As a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, it is difficult to be directly solve by traditional optimization methods. This paper uses reinforcement learning algorithm to solve this problem. Then, the Markov decision-making process and the theoretical basis of reinforcement learning are introduced to provide a theoretical basis for the algorithm simulation experiment. Based on the algorithm of reinforcement learning and joint allocation of communication resources, the joint optimization of data task unloading and power control strategy is carried out for each terminal device, and the local computing model and task unloading model are built. The simulation results show that the total task computation cost of the proposed algorithm is 5%-10% less than that of the two comparison algorithms under the same task input. At the same time, the total task computation cost of the proposed algorithm is more than 5% less than that of the two new comparison algorithms.

멀티프로세서가 임베디드 시스템에서 널리 쓰임에 따라 지원되는 전력 최소화 기법을 이용하여 태스크를 수행하기 위해 필요한 에너지의 소모량을 줄여야 할 필요성이 대두된다. 본 논문은 동적 전압 스케일링 및 전력 셧다운을 이용하여 에너지 소모를 최소화 하는 태스크 스케줄링 알고리즘을 멀티프로세서 환경을 위해 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 전력 셧다운시의 에너지 및 타이밍 오버헤드를 고려하여 반복적으로 태스크 할당 및 태스크 순서화를 수행한다. 제안된 반복적인 태스크 스케줄링을 통해 전체 에너지 소모를 줄이는 가장 좋은 해를 얻을 수 있었다. 전체 에너지 소모는 리니어 프로그래밍 모델 및 전력 셧다운의 임계 시간을 고려하여 계산되었다. 실제 어플리케이션으로부터 추출된 표준 태스크 그래프에 기반을 둔 실험 결과를 통해 하드웨어 자원 및 시간제한에 따른 에너지 소모 관계를 분석하였다. 실험 결과를 볼 때 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 우선권 기반의 태스크 스케줄링에 대해서 의미 있는 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

1970년대 오일쇼크 이후 많은 국가들이 석유에 대한 에너지 의존도를 줄이는 정책을 펼쳤다. 특히, 한국은 빠른 속도의 탈석유화가 일어났으며, 이러한 탈석유화는 급속한 전기화로 이어져 전력수요 급증의 한 요인이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 OECD 34개국을 대상으로 한 1985년부터 2011년까지의 패널자료를 이용하여 탈석유화와 전기화의 관계를 분석함으로써 최근 벌어지고 있는 전력수급난에 대한 정책적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 패널분석을 위해 확률효과모형 및 고정효과모형을 적용하였 다. 분석결과 총에너지 소비에서 에너지유 소비 비중(탈석유화 척도)이 10%p 증가하면 전력 소비량이 약 15% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 산업용 전력소비가 전체 전력소비에서 차지하는 비중을 국제 비교해보면 우리나라의 경우 OECD 34개 중 4위(2011년 기준)로 나타나는 등 주로 산업부문에서 석유에서 전력으로의 급격한 수요 전환이 현재의 전력수급 위기의 주요 원인 중 하나라는 점을 알 수 있다.

Energy cost has been increasing rapidly to comply with environmental regulations worldwide and the manufacturing industry who consumes more than half of the total energy needs to improve their cost competitiveness considering environmental costs. Machine tools are essential elements in manufacturing industry and efforts have been made recently to increase their energy efficiency mainly by German and Japanese machine tool builders. In this paper, trends in energy saving technology are described on the hardware and software sides of peripheral equipment of machine tools. In addition, the power consumption of a machining center is measured and analyzed to develop a software-based standby strategy for energy saving with peripheral equipment of machine tools.

There are many different kinds of forming processes to make a tubular product such as hydroforming and tube drawing. However, we should consider a better forming process in view point of energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission to save our earth. In this paper we have conducted FEM simulations to the various forming processes for sheet and tubular products to compare their energy consumptions. One example is tubular product and the other for drawn cup. From the comparisons of total energy for hydrofroming and tube sinking processes, hydroforming is consumed more energy than tube drawing. Also the cup drawing from sheet metal and tube sinking for the cup with flange indicate that the tube sinking is better than cup drawing of sheet metal in energy consumption.

Purpose: Currently, since the energy consumption of apartment buildings is on the rise, it is necessary to reduce the total amount of the energy through the survey and analysis of energy consumption data. Although various studies for energy efficiency have been conducted, studies are more focused on the measurement of energy by using analysis tools. In addition, the studies are sufficient to analyze real data of the city gas in apartment buildings. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the property of annual and $1m^2$ city gas amount according to the exclusive dwelling area. Method: To achieve the objective, this study used the statistics such as descriptive, correlation, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis. Result: As a result, there is positive relationship between the annual average of city gas and the exclusive dwelling area. However, in the case of $1m^2$ city gas amount, a negative relationship is mored. In the future, the findings of this study can be applied to develop the prediction model of the city gas consumption and implement it as basic data for energy efficiency of apartment buildings of future.

The energy consumption by buildings approximately reaches 25% of total korea energy consumption. The greatest part in the buildings of the energy consumption is building facade. but a few research projects on concrete compising more than 70% of outsider of buildings has been tried. This research is structural insulation concrete what improved insulation performance using micro form admixture and calcined diatomite powedr and lightweight aggregate.
