The Direction-Of-Arrival(DOA) resolution of signals depends on the aperture size of the array. Therefore it is not easy to resolve closely spaced coherent signals impinge on an array with a small radius. In order to overcome the problem, a new method is proposed to use the characteristic of spatial spectrums for arrays which have different aperture sizes after virtually expanding the spacing of original antenna array. In case of coherent signals impinge on an uniform circular array, the perfect DOA resolution capability of 100 % is achieved at the SNR range of -10 dB to 0 dB by the Deterministic Maximum Likelihood(DML) algorithm including the proposed method. On the other hand, the standard DML algorithm can not resolve signals at all at the same SNR.

Purpose: The important things in space plan of a screening center are improving the spatial awareness by space systemization and minimizing the examination time for customers, and reducing the required time of screening work and maximizing the capacity for the screening center. Therefore, we tried to solve the problem of improving spatial awareness and reducing the examination time by using the pedestrian based discrete event simulation at the minimum cost. Methods: We have analyzed the drawbacks and the supplement points by comparing the floor plan at the time of opening and the current floor plan. Based on the analysis, we propose an improved plan which changes the location of the examination rooms and the number of services, and we also verify the improved plan based on simulation analyses. Results: 1) Through the analyses, we derived the drawbacks of the floor plan at the time of opening, and we realized that the current floor plan reflects the drawbacks. 2) The major reasons of the long examination time are the human traffic jam and the occurrence of queues due to unreasonable allocation of services. 3) Through the discrete event simulation analyses, it was possible to specify the place of the queues manually so as to use the given space fairly. 4) Using the discrete event simulation, it was possible to reduce the examination time and to improve the spatial awareness effectively at the minimum cost. Implications: Although the proposed simulation methodology in this paper is an analysis of the existing screening center, we expect that the proposed methodology will be used to develop a more efficient architectural design process by pre-applying the method to the course of designing a screening center and finding the suitability of the proposed method with the matched number of services.

Gaze induction characteristics in space vary depending on characteristics of spatial components and display. This study analyzed dominant eye-fixation characteristics of three zones of department store space. Eye-fixation characteristics depending on spatial components and positional relationship can be defined as follows. First, [**.jpg] was used as an extension in the process of storing the image photographed during image data processing for analysis in pixels and due to compressed storage of image data, the image produced with a clear boundary was stored in neutral colors. To remove this problem, the image used in operation was re-processed in black and white and stored in the [**.bmp] format with large capability, at the same time. As the result, the effort caused by unnecessary colors in the program operation process was corrected. Second, the gaze ratio to space area can be indicated as a strength of each gaze zone and when analyzing the gaze strength of the three zones, the left store was a zone with a "little strong" gaze strength of "102.8", the middle space was a zone with an "extremely weak" gaze strength of "89.6" and the right store was a zone with an "extremely strong" gaze strength of "117.2". Third, the IV section had a strong strength of gaze on the middle space and the right store and the V section showed a markedly strong strength of gaze on the left and right stores. This tendency was the same as the VI section with the strongest gaze strength and the right store had a little strong gaze strength than the left store.

Recently, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been considered as key technology for future cellular system, because it can solve the problem of excessive data traffic increment and can also provide new communication services. Herein, we propose new neighbor discovery for D2D communication and examine its performance. Our proposed scheme is proximity beacon based discovery in which wireless resource for pilot transmission is assigned based on the spatial correlation of wireless channel and sensing period is adjusted according to target accuracy such that power consumption can be reduced. The performance of our propose scheme is analyzed mathematically and verified through computer simulations.

In Geographic Information System, spatial object can be changed in the attribute information, spatial location and the topological relation between them with the change of time. However traditional GIS deletes the old value of aspatial information and replaces them with new value. Therefore. it is difficult to manage thc history of changed spatial object and can not support the spatio-temporal queries including temporal queries. In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal objected model to solve this problem. We implement the proposed model with spatio-temporal class using Gothic GIS tool. The historical information of an object is stored into the object itself for the effective history management. And, in order to provide the queries for the history of an object and spatio-temporal relationship, we add temporal operators, spatio-temporal operators, and spatio-temporal query operations into Gothic, and improve the facility of the Gothic.

This paper presents a bulk insertion technique for efficiently inserting data items. Traditional moving object database focused on efficient query processing that happens mainly after index building. Traditional index structures rarely considered disk I/O overhead for index rebuilding by inserting data items. This paper, to solve this problem, describes a new bulk insertion technique which efficiently induces the current positions of moving objects and reduces update cost greatly. This technique uses buffering technique for bulk insertion in spatial index structures such as R-tree. To analyze split or merge node, we add a secondary index for information management on leaf node of primary index. And operations are classified to reduce unnecessary insertion and deletion. This technique decides processing order of moving objects, which minimize split and merge cost as a result of update operations. Experimental results show that this technique reduces insertion cost as compared with existing insertion techniques.

With increasing user applicability of geospatial data, user demand for manifold and accurate information has increased. The usefulness of these services derives from their combination of the advantages of as-built geospatial data in making new content. There is a spatial inconsistency and shape disagreement in fusing heterogeneous data. Conflation, defined as the combining of information from diverse sources so as to reconcile spatial inconsistencies and shape disagreement, is possible solution to the problem. In this research, we developed the technique for removing shape disagreement between aerial image and road map removed spatial inconsistency in advanced research. The process includes four processes: producing of a road candidate image, extraction of vertices, and generation of a graph by connecting the vertices. We could remove the shape disagreement using the extracted road that was derived from finding the road possible path.

The Korean Government recognized that the importance of spatial information market is promoting Korean Land Spatialization Program(KLSP) to commercialize and practice of the technology. For achieve this purpose, KLSP is planning to build test-bed for field test, integration, display of outcomes. The most important problem in this process is reasonable decision of location. In this paper, the subject is to find how to decide efficiently in locating facilities to test Geospatial information technology like KLSP Test-bed. Consequently, we look over some cases of the inside and outside of the country, and analyze property of outcomes to apply the test-bed. And then we find assessment items for locating.

In ubiquitous sensor networks(USN) environment, it is essential to process region query for user-demand services. Using R-tree is a preferred technique to process region query for in-network query environment. In USN environment, USN middleware must select sensors that transfers region query with accuracy because the lifetime of sensors is that of whole sensor networks. When R-tree is used, however, it blindly passes the region query including non-existent sensors where MBR(Minimum Boundary Rectangle) of R-tree is Intersected by region of query. To solve in this problem, we propose a reconstruction of region query method which is a trie-structured Quad tree in the base station that includes sensors in region of query select with accuracy. We observed that the proposed method delays response time than R-tree, but is useful for reducing communication cost and energy consumption.

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the regional characteristics and the age-adjusted cardio-cerebrovascular disease mortality rates (SCDMR) in 229 si·gun·gu administrative regions. Methods: SCDMR of man and woman was used as a dependent variable using the statistical data of death cause in 2017. As a representative index of regional characteristics, health behavior factors, socio-demographic and economic factors, physical environment factors, and health care factors were selected as independent variables. Ordinary least square (OLS) regression and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were performed to identify their relationship. Results: OLS analysis showed significant factors affecting the mortality rates of cardio-cerebrovascular disease as follows: high-risk drinking rates, the ratio of elderly living alone, financial independence, and walking practice rates. GWR analysis showed that the regression coefficients were varied by regions and the influence directions of the independent variables on the dependent variable were mixed. GWR showed higher adjusted R² and Akaike information criterion values than those of OLS. Conclusion: If there is a spatial heterogeneity problem as Korea, it is appropriate to use the GWR model to estimate the influence of regional characteristics. Therefore, results using the GWR model suggest that it needs to establish customized health policies and projects for each region considering the socio-economic characteristics of each region.
