Recently, according to the rapid development of computer and electronic technology, most crude oil carriers adopt automated cargo handling system. But an excessive automation makes system so complicate that it could increase the Possibility of accidents due to human error. Although a cargo handling process is done by an expert, the potential of accidents by human factor lies through the whole cargo handling procedure and the current automated system lacks of the functionality to prevent a mis-operation and diagnose the abnormal status of the system. Because the oil concerned accident could be almost a disaster, the primary goal of system development should not be a fully automated system but be a perfectly safe system. This paper deals with the analysis and design of an expert system which can provide mariner with the operational guidance and the facility of crisis management by monitoring system's abnormal condition and human's mis-operation.

Recently, there have been many research on fever management using u-healthcare technology. Especially, fever of infants requires continuous monitoring of body temperature by parents. For infants between 4 weeks and under 5 years old, it is recommended to use an electronic thermometer or chemical thermometer in the axilla, or to use an infrared thermometer. However, in order to overcome the reality of not being able to waste significant time on continuous monitoring, there have been demands of patch type thermometers with the internet of things (IoT) and wireless communication technologies. Existing IoT thermometers are difficult to attach to infants' body because they do not take into account its size, and their interoperability is not guaranteed because they do not comply with standards in communication. Therefore, in this study, a patch-type thermometer with a diameter of 20 mm and a weight of 2.9 g was developed to manage the fever of infants, while it communicates wirelessly with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocol and complies with IEEE 11073 PHD(Personal Health Device) at the same time. We verified its performance under the requirements of thermometers regulated by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

In this paper, we efficiently simulated for collecting the data from the fixed sensor and mobile sensor of patients using the LEACH-Mobile method. The LEACH-Mobile method is the protocol to increase the mobility by adding the mobile node to the existed LEACH(:Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol. It improves the mobility of The LEACH-Mobile in the LEACH, however it consumes more energy than the existed LEACH. There is reason why we use the LEACH-Mobile that the monitoring system is generally done by the CCTV and an periodic checkup by nurses. However the number of nurse is a few in the most of hospital. It can happen the accidents of the patients in out of the CCTV when the nurse can not see the monitoring system in the hospital. Therefore it is simulated to continuously gather the data of the position and sensors in the five situation of moving the patients in the hospital, it gets the result that the management of the mobile patients is more efficient.

Monitoring and assessing terminal electron accepting processes (TEAPs) are one of the most important steps to remediate contaminated sites via various in-situ techniques. TEAPs are a part of the microbial respiration reactions. Microorganisms gain energy from these reactions and reduces pollutants. Monitoring TEAPs enables us to predict degradability of contaminants and degradation rates. In many countries, TEAPs have been used for characterization of field sites and management of groundwater wells. For instance, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided strategies for groundwater quality and well management by applying TEAPs monitoring. Denmark has also constructed TEAPs map of local unit area to develop effective groundwater managing system, particularly to predict and assess nitrogen contamination. In case of Korea, although detailed soil survey and groundwater contamination assessment have been employed, site investigation guidelines using TEAPs have not been established yet. To better define TEAPs in subsurface environments, multiple indicators including ion concentrations, isotope compositions and contaminant degradation byproducts must be assessed. Furthermore, dissolved hydrogen concentrations are regarded as significant evidence of TEAPs occurring in subsurface environment. This review study introduces optimal sampling techniques of groundwater and dissolved hydrogen, and further discuss how to assess TEAPs in contaminated subsurface environments according to several contamination scenarios.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure using wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs) has received significant public attention in recent years. The benefits of WSSNs are that they are low-cost, easy to install, and provide effective data management via on-board computation. This paper reports on the deployment and evaluation of a state-of-the-art WSSN on the new Jindo Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge in South Korea with a 344-m main span and two 70-m side spans. The central components of the WSSN deployment are the Imote2 smart sensor platforms, a custom-designed multimetric sensor boards, base stations, and software provided by the Illinois Structural Health Monitoring Project (ISHMP) Services Toolsuite. In total, 70 sensor nodes and two base stations have been deployed to monitor the bridge using an autonomous SHM application with excessive wind and vibration triggering the system to initiate monitoring. Additionally, the performance of the system is evaluated in terms of hardware durability, software stability, power consumption and energy harvesting capabilities. The Jindo Bridge SHM system constitutes the largest deployment of wireless smart sensors for civil infrastructure monitoring to date. This deployment demonstrates the strong potential of WSSNs for monitoring of large scale civil infrastructure.
