본 논문에서는 센서네트워크의 수명 연장을 위해 에너지 인지 기반의 경로 제어 방안인 TBP(Threshold based Back-Pressure) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 센서네트워크 수명 연장을 위해서는 에너지의 고른 소비가 필수적이므로, 라우팅 영역 전체에 걸친 고른 트래픽 분배를 설계목표로 갖는다. TBP 알고리즘은 지역적 트래픽 분배와 라우팅 영역 전체에서의 트래픽 분배를 모두 수행한다. 임계값과 back-pressure 신호가 이 두 가지 스케일의 트래픽 분배 수행을 위해 정의되었다. TBP 알고리즘은 라우팅 영역에 속한 다중경로의 최적 활용을 목적으로 하지만 이를 위해 사용하는 임계값과 back-pressure 신호는 한 흡 범위의 지역적 정보로 정의함으로써 망 규모에 제한받지 않는 확장성을 확보하였다. TBP 알고리즘이 에너지 소비를 분산시키는 효과, 즉 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 효과를 가지고 있음을 다양한 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한, TBP 알고리즘은 엄격한 경로 제어를 기반으로 설계되었음에도 지연 및 전송률 지표에서 개선된 결과를 보였다. 에너지 인지 기반의 경로 제어가 트래픽 혼잡 제어의 효과를 부분적으로 갖고 있음을 보여주는 결과이다.

Global air traffic is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of around 5% in the next 20 years. The continuous growth of air traffic and raised environmental awareness put increasing pressure on aero engine manufacturers to reduce fuel burn and emissions. NEWAC are a new integrated program of the European Union with focus on innovative core engine concepts to achieve this problem. In this paper, Within NEWAC, active core engine configurations will be investigated. the investigation is focused on the optimal design of the CAC heat exchanger for active core. For optimal design of he CAC heat exchanger, the HTFS of basic design of heat exchanger are analyzed so as to proceed an optimization routines based on Response Surface Method(RSM) and Design of Experiment(DOE). As a result, CAC heat exchanger optimized by 1.0314 lb/s mass flow rate and 3.9058 mm TP of tube layout and 206.8181 mm height of heat exchanger and 918 tube number for heat transfer and pressure drop. We confirm the design optimization using RSM and DOE is useful on complex structure of heat exchanger.

Because of their low operating and maintaining costs, ground-source heat pump(GSHP) systems are an increasingly popular choice for providing heating, cooling and water heating to public and commercial buildings. Despite these ad- vantages and the growing awareness, GSHP systems to residential sectors have not been adopted in Korea until recently. A feasibility study of a residential GSHP system was therefore conducted using the traditional life cycle cost(LCC) analysis within the current electricity price framework and potential scenarios of that framework. As a result, when the current residential electricity costs for running the GSHP system are applied, the GSHP system has weak competitiveness to conven- tional HVAC systems considered. However, when the operating costs are calculated in the modified price frameworks of electricity, the residential GSHP system has the lower LCC than the existing cooling and heating equipments. The calculation results also show that the residential GSHP system has lower annual prime energy consumption and total pollutant emissions than the alternative HVAC systems considered in this work.

Environmental awareness and its relation to the development of economy has garnered increased attention in recent years. Researchers, over the years, have argued that sustainable development warrants for minimizing environmental degradation since one depends on the other. This study analyzes the relationship between environmental degradation (carbon emission taken as proxy for degradation), economic growth, total energy consumption and industrial production index growth in Bangladesh from year 1998 to 2013. This study uses Vector Autoregression (VAR) Model and variance decomposition of VAR to analyze the effect of these variables on carbon emission and vice-versa. The findings of VAR model suggest that industrial production and GDP per capita has significant relationship with carbon emission. Further analysis through variance decomposition shows carbon emission has consistent impact on industrial production over time, whereas, industrial production has high impact on emission in the short run which fades in the long run which is consistent with Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Carbon emission rising along with GDP per capita and at the same time having low impact in the long run on industrial index indicates there may be other sources of pollution introduced with the rise in income of the economy over time.

최근, 스마트 기기의 발전과 더불어 스마트 단말을 이용한 지능형 실내 위치 인식 서비스에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 이때 실내 위치 측위 기술로서 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) 기술이 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 방대한 위치 정보를 수신하는 스마트 단말에서 수집된 위치 정보의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있는 방법은 없다. 이는 신호 간섭 등의 이유로 실내 위치 정보의 신뢰성가 떨어지기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 iBeacon의 위치 정보로 부터 신뢰성 있는 위치 정보를 얻기 위해 수집된 빅 데이터의 관리 기법을 제안한다.

In many applications of wireless sensor actor networks (WSANs) that often run in harsh environments, the reduction of completion times of tasks is highly desired. We present a new time-aware, energy-aware, and starvation-free algorithm called Scate for assigning tasks to actors while satisfying the scalability and distribution requirements of WSANs with semi-automated architecture. The proposed algorithm allows concurrent executions of any mix of small and large tasks and yet prevents probable starvation of tasks. To achieve this, it estimates the completion times of tasks on each available actor and then takes the remaining energies and the current workloads of these actors into account during task assignment to actors. The results of our experiments with a prototyped implementation of Scate show longer network lifetime, shorter makespan of resulting schedules, and more balanced loads on actors compared to when one of the three well-known task-scheduling algorithms, namely, the max-min, min-min, and opportunistic load balancing algorithms, is used.

There is a growing concern in the United Stares over the environmental and human health implications associated with heavy use of water, pesticides, and inorganic ferilizers in maintaining picture perfect golf courses. There is also a growing awareness that a beautiful course is not necessarily a healthy course. The following discussion reviews the interrelationship of turfgrass and the soil that supports it and provides basic information on currently available alternatives to turf management practices that feature intensive application of inorganic fertilizers. water and pesticides. Soil is a dynamic natural environment in which microorganisms play an important role. Soil contains a large mass of microorganisms which produce thousands of enzymes that can catalyze the transformation and degradation of many organic molecules. (In top soil under optimum conditions may contain 10 billion cells per gram of soil.). Turfgrass and the soil which supports it are interdependent. The natural organic cycle as applied to turf and soil begins with healthy vigorous grass plants storing up the sun's energy in green plant tissues as chemical energy. Animals obtain energy by eating plants and when plants and animals die, their wastes are returned to the soil and provide "food" for soil microorganisms. In the next step of the organic cycle soil microorganisms break down complex plant tissues into more basic forms and make the nutrients available to grass roots. Finally, growing plants extract the available nutrients from the soil. By free operation of this organic cycle, natural grasslands have some of the most fertile soils on earths.

본 논문에서는 이동 에드 혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad-hoc network: MANET)에서의 상황인식 기반의 스케쥴링 기법인 DDV(Dynamic Direction Vector)-hop 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 MANET에서는 노드의 이동성으로 인한 동적 네트워크 토폴리지, 네트워크 확장성 결여의 대한 취약성을 지니고 있다. 또한 노드들의 이동성에 따라 에너지 소모율이 다르며, 에너지 소모율을 최소화하는 라우팅 기법을 선택하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 계층적 클러스터 단위의 동적인 토폴로지에서 노드가 이동하는 방향성 및 시간에 따른 노드의 이동 속성 정보를 고려하여 클러스터를 생성 및 유지하는 DDV-hop알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 주어진 노드의 위치정보를 이용하여 토폴로지를 형성함에 있어 보다 에너지 효율적인 경로를 탐색하여 최적화된 경로를 제공함에 연구의 목적이 있다. 주어진 모의 실험환경에서 노드의 방향성 및 시간에 따른 이동성을 반영함으로써 에너지 효율적인 클러스터링 및 라우팅 경로 알고리즘이 제공되어 네트워크의 최적화된 에너지 소모 결과를 보여주었다.
