To tackle the problem of regional economic and social disparities in Korea, the government of Roh, Mu-Hyun(2003-2007), launched a series of radical policies and programs to decentralize administrative activities of the capital region and stimulate economic growth in less developed regions, based on regional innovation systems and industrial cluster concepts. This paper highlights the Roh government's approach to reducing regional disparities, and makes some comments on the innovation cluster strategy by investigating the realities appearing in a major city, Daejeon. It concludes that many ministries of the Roh government created various competing, undifferentiated programs that were assigned too much money and energy, and drained resources from other governmental activities. In fact, very few programs show positive signs of achieving the goals of innovation in less developed regions, balancing the growth gaps between well-off regions and the rest of Korea, and generating overall economic growth for the country.

Virtual Machine (VM) resource management is crucial to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) demands of various multimedia services in a media cloud platform. To this end, this paper presents a VM resource allocation model that dynamically and optimally utilizes VM resources to satisfy QoS requirements of media-rich cloud services or applications. It additionally maintains high system utilization by avoiding the over-provisioning of VM resources to services or applications. The objective is to 1) minimize the number of physical machines for cost reduction and energy saving; 2) control the processing delay of media services to improve response time; and 3) achieve load balancing or overall utilization of physical resources. The proposed VM allocation is mapped into the multidimensional bin-packing problem, which is NP-complete. To solve this problem, we have designed a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model, as well as heuristics for quantitatively optimizing the VM allocation. The simulation results show that our scheme outperforms the existing VM allocation schemes in a media cloud environment, in terms of cost reduction, response time reduction and QoS guarantee.

This study proposes a DAB two-stage series structure with insulated bidirectional DC-DC converter for two-way power transfer between the renewable energy of high voltages (1 kV and above). The proposed circuit transforms the existing DAB converter into a two-stage series structure to reduce the pressure in the switch. The problem of power imbalance occurring in the design of the DAB converter second-stage series is improved by applying the cell balancing method circuit and the common mode coupled inductor using an external flying capacitor instead of reflecting the existing improvement measures, voltage balance control, and inductor current control. In addition, a no-load supercharging sequence is proposed in high voltages and high-speed switching by using the fixed duty output method. This study presents the analysis results through the structure of the proposed circuit, the principle of improving the power imbalance problem, and simulations. Prototypes were manufactured to meet the specifications of input/output voltage of 1700 V, maximum load of 65 kW, and switching frequency of 51kHz, and the validity of the topology was verified using the experimental results and efficiency data.

서버 클러스터에서 부하 분산기는 사용자의 요청을 각 서버로 분산시키는 역할을 한다. 리눅스 가상 서버(LVS: Linux Virtual Server)는 소프트웨어적으로 사용되는 부하 분산기로서 여러 가지 스케줄링 방식들을 가지고 있다. 그러나 부하 분산 시에 서버의 유동적인 부하 정보를 반영하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이에 개선된 방식으로 서버의 동시 연결 개수에 따라 상한계(Upper Bound)와 하한계(Lower Bound)를 설정하고, 요청을 분산하는 동적 스케줄링(Dynamic Scheduling)이 존재한다. 그러나 서버의 상태에 따라 상한계와 하한계가 바뀔 수 있음에도 불구하고 이 값들이 고정되어 있다는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 기존 부하 분산 방법의 단점을 극복하는 서버 전력 정보에 기반한 스케줄링 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 서버의 부하 정보를 기반으로 에너지를 추정하고 전력 수치를 기반으로 LVS의 가중치 테이블을 주기적으로 갱신한다. 그리고 부하 분산기는 클라이언트로부터 요청 받은 트래픽을 각 서버의 에너지 소모 상태에 따라 적용시킴으로써 에너지 소모가 최소화되도록 부하를 분산한다. 또한 서버의 상태에 따라 상한계와 하한계가 바뀔수 있음을 고려하여 상한계와 하한계를 설정하지 않고 서버의 상태에 따라 적절하게 요청이 분배되도록 하였다. 15대의 PC를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과는 기존 부하 분산 알고리즘 중 성능이 가장 좋은 알고리즘에 비해 서버의 성능이 동일한 경우 성능 및 소비전력 면에서 거의 동등하였고, 서버의 성능이 상이한 경우 50.2% 성능 향상 및 27.3% 소비 전력 절감을 확인하였다.

Smart farms are steadily increasing in research to minimize labor, energy, and quantity put into crops as IoT technology and artificial intelligence technology are combined. However, research on efficiently managing crop growth information in smart farms has been insufficient to date. In this paper, we propose a management technique that can efficiently monitor crop growth information by applying autonomous sensors to smart farms. The proposed technique focuses on collecting crop growth information through autonomous sensors and then recycling the growth information to crop cultivation. In particular, the proposed technique allocates crop growth information to one slot and then weights each crop to perform load balancing, minimizing interference between crop growth information. In addition, when processing crop growth information in four stages (sensing detection stage, sensing transmission stage, application processing stage, data management stage, etc.), the proposed technique computerizes important crop management points in real time, so an immediate warning system works outside of the management criteria. As a result of the performance evaluation, the accuracy of the autonomous sensor was improved by 22.9% on average compared to the existing technique, and the efficiency was improved by 16.4% on average compared to the existing technique.

Obesity, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is excessive fat accumulation that can pose health risks and is a disorder of the energy homeostasis system. In typical westernized diets, ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) vastly exceed the amount of ω-3 PUFAs, with ω-6/ω-3 ratios ranging from 10:1 to 25:1. ω-6 PUFAs, such as arachidonic acid, have pro-inflammatory effects and increase obesity. On the other hand, ω-3 PUFAs, including eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, have anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity effects. Linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) are synthesized in almost all higher plants, algae, and some fungi. However, in humans and animals, they are essential fatty acids and must be consumed through diet or supplementation. Therefore, balancing LA/ALA ratios is essential for obesity prevention and human health. Monogastric animals such as pigs and chickens can produce meat and eggs fortified with ω-3 PUFAs by controlling dietary fatty acid (FA). Additionally, ruminant animals such as feeder cattle and lactating dairy cows can opt for feed supplementation with ω-3 PUFAs sources and rumen-protected microencapsulated FAs or pasture finishing. This method can produce ω-3 PUFAs and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) fortified meat, milk, and cheese. A high ω-6/ω-3 ratio is associated with proinflammation and obesity, whereas a balanced ratio reduces inflammation and obesity. Additionally, probiotics containing lactic acid bacteria are necessary, which reduces inflammation and obesity by converting ω-6 PUFAs into functional metabolites such as 10-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid and CLA.

A multipath routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provides advantage such as reliability improvement and load balancing by transmitting data through divided paths. For these reasons, existing multipath routing protocols divide path appropriately or create independent paths efficiently. However, when the sink node moves to avoid hotspot problem or satisfy the requirement of the applications, the existing protocols have to reconstruct multipath or exploit foot-print chaining mechanism. As a result, the existing protocols will shorten the lifetime of a network due to excessive energy consumption, and lose the advantage of multipath routing due to the merging of paths. To solve this problem, we propose a multipath creation and maintenance scheme to support the mobile sink node. The proposed protocol can be used to construct local grid structure with restricted area and exploit grid structure for constructing the multipath. The grid structure can also be extended depending on the movement of the sink node. In addition, the multipath can be partially reconstructed to prevent merging paths. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol is superior to the existing protocols in terms of energy efficiency and packet delivery ratio.

Thanks to the development of microelectromechanical systems(MEMS), wireless communication technology and microsensor technology, it was Possible to manufacture a very small and low costdata acquisition node with sensing function, processing function, wireless communication function and battery. Thus sensor networks begin to be prevailed. The sensor network is a spontaneous system which sets up automatically routing paths and transmits asignificant data to the destination. Sensor nodes requires low-power operation because most of them use a battery as operating power. Sensor nodes transmit a sensing data to the destination. Moreover, they play a router. In fact, because the later consumes more energy than the former, the low-power routing is very important. Sensor networks don't have a routing standard unlike general wireless Ad-hoc networks. So This paper proposes a low-power routing method for anting to sensor networks. It is based on AODV and adapts a method to drop probably RREQ depending on remaining power. We examined it through simulations. From simulation results, we could confirm to reduce power consumption about $10-20\%$ and distribute equally power consumption among nodes.

선진 전력시장의 경우, 전력산업의 환경변화에 따라 소비자의 역할이 증대되고 있으며 이와 더불어 IT 기반의 다양한 소비자 중심의 전력부가서비스의 개발이 시도되고 있거나 일부 제공되고 있다. 이러한 서비스의 발전은 시간이 흐르면서 단방향이 아닌 양방향 통신 기반의 소비자 중심 서비스에 대한 연구로 확대되고 있다. 특히, 미국 EPRI의 IntelliGrid 컨소시엄에서 제시한 수용가 포탈 시스템은 소비자 영역내의 장비와 에너지 서비스 기관 간의 양방향 통신을 전제함으로써 이루어지는 통합적인 개념의 서비스 기반으로써, 공급자를 포함한 ESP(Energy Service Provider)와 소비자는 수용가 포탈을 기반으로 원활한 커뮤니케이션을 수행하고 그 결과를 이용한 부가적 이익을 누릴 수 있게 된다. 이에 비해 국내의 전력부가서비스 제공 수준은 이제 겨우 시작 단계에 불과하지만, 서비스에 대한 인식 정도와 IT기술의 발전 속도를 생각해 본다면 머지않아 국내 전력산업에서도 현재의 서비스 제공 수준을 한 단계 넘어선 양방향 통신 기반의 수준 높은 전력부가서비스를 요구하게 될 것이다. 따라서, 국내 환경에 적합한 수용가 포탈 시스템 기반의 전력부가서비스 창출은 수용가에게는 비용 절감이 가능한 합리적인 소비를 제시하고, ESP(Energy Service Provider)에게는 부하·수요관리 및 투자비를 절감할 수 있는 기회를 제공해야 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 전력부가서비스 기반인 수용가 포탈시스템을 분석하고, 현행 전력부가서비스의 현황과 동향 분석, 적용가능 기술 분석, 타 산업 벤치마킹을 통해 국내환경에 적합한 수용가 포탈 시스템 기반의 전력부가서비스 선정 및 구축 방안을 제시하고자 한다.원 사용이 가능하도록 설계하였다.서버로 분산처리하게 함으로써 성능에 대한 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 Load Balancing System을 제안한다.할 때 가장 효과적인 라우팅 프로토콜이라고 할 수 있다.iRNA 상의 의존관계를 분석할 수 있었다.수안보 등 지역에서 나타난다 이러한 이상대 주변에는 대개 온천이 발달되어 있었거나 새로 개발되어 있는 곳이다. 온천에 이용하고 있는 시추공의 자료는 배제하였으나 온천이응으로 직접적으로 영향을 받지 않은 시추공의 자료는 사용하였다 이러한 온천 주변 지역이라 하더라도 실제는 온천의 pumping 으로 인한 대류현상으로 주변 일대의 온도를 올려놓았기 때문에 비교적 높은 지열류량 값을 보인다. 한편 한반도 남동부 일대는 이번 추가된 자료에 의해 새로운 지열류량 분포 변화가 나타났다 강원 북부 오색온천지역 부근에서 높은 지열류량 분포를 보이며 또한 우리나라 대단층 중의 하나인 양산단층과 같은 방향으로 발달한 밀양단층, 모량단층, 동래단층 등 주변부로 NNE-SSW 방향의 지열류량 이상대가 발달한다. 이것으로 볼 때 지열류량은 지질구조와 무관하지 않음을 파악할 수 있다. 특히 이러한 단층대 주변은 지열수의 순환이 깊은 심도까지 가능하므로 이러한 대류현상으로 지표부근까지 높은 지온 전달이 되어 나타나는 것으로 판단된다.의 안정된 방사성표지효율을 보였다. $^{99m}Tc$-transferrin을 이용한 감염영상을 성공적으로 얻을 수 있었으며, $^{67}Ga$-citrate 영상과 비교하여 더 빠른 시간 안에 우수한 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 $^{99m}Tc$-transierrin이 감염 병소의 영상진단

Milk constituents and somatic cell count (SCC) were analysed for 4,059 milk samples from 178 dairy farms from April to December in 1999. Correlations among each milk constituents, milk urea (MU) concentration and SCC in association with lactation stage, milk yield and parity, and balancing status of nutrients' supplies were analysed, and the results are summarized as follows; Averages of milk fat percent, total solids percent and milk yield were $3.72{\pm}0.91%$, $12.50{\pm}1.31%$ and $23.80{\pm}8.54kg$, respectively, whereas those were significantly lower during the summer season. In contrast, average of MU concentration was $0.0361{\pm}0.0006%$ which was significantly higher during the summer season. With milk yield, concentrations of fat, protein and SCC in milk decreased but concentrations of lactose and urea in milk and body condition score (BCS) were not altered. Concentrations of fat, protein, lactose, total solids, SNF, and urea in milk were significantly affected by stage of lactation ($P{\leq}0.0001$) but SCC was not changed. Parity of dairy cows had a significant effect on concentrations of fat ($P{\leq}0.02$), lactose ($P{\leq}0.0001$), total solids ($P{\leq}0.002$), and SNF ($P{\leq}0.0001$) in milk and milk yield ($P{\leq}0.0005$) but did not change concentrations of urea and protein in milk. Somatic cell count had significant positive correlationship with percentages of fat, protein and total solids ($P{\leq}0.0001$), respectively, but had negative correlationship with percentages of urea and lactose in milk and milk yield ($P{\leq}0.0001$). Milk urea concentration was negatively correlated with concentrations of protein, fat, total solids, and SNF in milk and milk yield ($P{\leq}0.0001$) and, according to regression analysis using milk urea concentration and SCC, following equation was obtained; $Y(MU)=3.688{\times}10^{-2}-4.04{\times}10^{-7}{\times}X(SCC{\times}1,000)(r^2=0.0038$, $P{\leq}0.0001$). We studied balance between protein and energy supplies to dairy cows in each farm based upon milk urea and protein concentrations, and results showed that 137 of total 178 farms fed cows unbalanced amounts of dietary protein and energy.
