Stoping method has been acknowledged as one of the typical metalliferous underground mining methods. Notwithstanding with the popularity of the method, the majority of stoping mines are suffering from excessive unplanned dilution which often becomes as the main cause of mine closure. Thus a reliable unplanned dilution management system is imperatively needed. In this study, reliable unplanned dilution prediction system is introduced by adopting artificial neural network (ANN) based on data investigated from one underground stoping mine in Western Australia. In addition, contributions of input parameters were analysed by connection weight algorithm (CWA). To validate the reliability of the proposed ANN, correlation coefficient (R) was calculated in the training and test stage which shown relatively high correlation of 0.9641 in training and 0.7933 in test stage. As results of CWA application, BHL (Length of blast hole) and SFJ (Safety factor of Joint orientation) show comparatively high contribution of 18.78% and 19.77% which imply that these are somewhat critical influential parameter of unplanned dilution.

Multi-Layer Perceptron network has been mainly applied to many practical problems because of its nonlinear mapping ability. However the generalization ability of MLP networks may be affected by the number of hidden nodes, the initial values of weights and the training errors. These factors, if improperly chosen, may result in poor generalization ability of MLP networks. It is important to identify these factors and their interaction in order to control effectively the generalization ability of MLP networks. In this paper, we have empirically identified the factors that affect the generalization ability of MLP networks, and compared their relative effects on the generalization performance for the conventional and visualized weight selecting methods using the controller box.

This study performed quantitative assessment of the performance of adjustment models by a-priori analysis of the statistics of the surface parameter estimates against modeling factors. Lidar, airborne imagery, and SAR imagery have been used to acquire the earth surface elevation, where the shape properties of the surface need to be determined through neighboring observations around target location. In this study, parameters which are selected to be estimated are elevation, slope, second order coefficient. In this study, several factors which are needed to be specified to compose adjustment models are classified into three types: mathematical functions, kernel sizes, and weighting types. Accordingly, a-priori standard deviations of the parameters are computed for varying adjustment models. Then their corresponding confidence regions for both the standard deviation of the estimate and the estimate itself are calculated in association with probability distributions. Thereafter, the resulting confidence regions are compared to each other against the factors constituting the adjustment models and the quantitative performance of adjustment models are ascertained.

The most important parameters of the Muskingum method, widely used in hydrologic river routing, are the storage coefficient and the weighting factor. The Muskingum method does not consider the lateral inflow from the upstream to the downstream, but the lateral inflow actually occurs due to the rainfall on the watershed. As a result, it is very difficult to estimate the storage coefficient and the weighting factor by using the actual data of upstream and downstream. In this study, the flow without the lateral inflow was calculated from the river flow through the hydraulic flood routing by using the HEC-RAS one-dimensional unsteady flow model, and the method of the storage coefficient and the weighting factor calculation is presented. Considering that the storage coefficient relates to the travel time, the empirical travel time formulas used in the establishment of the domestic river basin plan were applied as the storage coefficient, and the simulation results were compared and analyzed. Finally, we have developed a formula for calculating the travel time considering the flow rate, and proposed a method to perform flood routing by updating the travel time according to the inflow change. The rise and fall process of the flow rate, the peak flow rate, and the peak time are well simulated when the travel time in consideration of the flow rate is applied as the storage coefficient.

This study proposes the method for determining the Muskingum channel routing model parameters based on the assumption of linear system. The proposed method was applied to the Chungju dam basin for the evaluation. Additionally, the rainfall-runoff was repeated for the Yeongchun-Chungju dam reach using seven rainfall events observed. Summarizing the results is as follows. First, the concentration time and storage coefficient of a channel reach formed by the subdivision can be expressed as the difference between the concentration times and storage coefficients of upstream and downstream basins. The storage coefficients of the channel reach estimated is equal to the storage coefficient of the Muskingum channel routing model and the weight factor can be simply estimated using the ratio between the concentration time and storage coefficient. Second, the weight factor of the Muskingum model is in inverse proportion to the Russel coefficient, which is in between 0.4166 and 0.625 when considering the Russel coefficients generally applied. Finally the application to the Yeongchun-Chungju dam reach showed that the proposed method is still valid regardless of the limitations such as the uncertainty of the observed data.

The element free Galerkin method has been suggested by Belyschko, etc. it is applied for linear elastic analysis of solid problems and its convergence characteristics and stability are shown according to the weight function, influence domain and scattered points. The various numerical examples are performed to check the efficiency of 1D EFG and 2D EFG program by changing factors. As a result it have the best results when it used the cubic spline weight function and the scaling parameter d$_{max}$=2. These programs were developed by mixed language programming method using Visual Basic and the C language. so it is fast and efficient. and visually shown the result.t.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of combined exercise on body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors in sarcopenic obesity elderly women. The subjects for the study were 21 obesity elderly women over 65 years old. They were divided into two groups, the sarcopenic obesity group(n=9) and non-sarcopenic obesity group(n=12). The variables of body composition and CVD risk factors were measured in all the subjects before and after 16-week combined exercise. The findings of this study were as follows; In the sarcopenic obesity elderly women significantly decreased total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), and left baPWV. The non-sarcopenic obesity elderly women significantly decreased total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and left baPWV, but significantly increased high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C). The most important finding in this study was that sarcopenic obesity elderly women showed delayed effects of a 16-week combined exercise on HDL, LDL-C, BP, and right baPWV compared to the non-sarcopenic obesity elderly women.

산지사면에서의 토양침식량은 실제 유역을 빠져나가는 토사유출량과 같지 않다. 이는 토사가 이동하는 과정에서 지형적인 요인 등에 의해 퇴적되거나, 가중되는 유수에 의해 더 많은 토양이 침식될 수 있기 때문이다. 토사유출률(SDR)은 유역의 크기뿐만 아니라 지형, 기후, 토양, 식생피복, 토지이용도 등에 관계된다. 본 연구에서는 기후 특성인 강우크기에 따른 토사유출률의 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 산불 이후 5년 동안 산지 소유역의 시험유역을 운영하여 유출 및 토사유출량을 실측하여 자료를 구축하였고, 이 유역에 산지지역의 토양침식 모형인 SEMMA을 적용하여 토양침식량을 산정하고 유역출구로 이송한 실제 토사유출량과 비교하였다. 5년 동안 SDR은 전반적으로 감소하고, 강우량, 강우강도, 강우에너지와 같은 강우사상의 크기에 따라 증가한다. SDR은 2001년에서 2002년까지 대부분 1.0 이상이고, 2005년에는 1.0을 초과하지 않으며, 강우특성 뿐만 아니라 식생피복, 산불시간경과 등의 인자에 의존한다.

측방유입수가 고려되는 3변수 Muskingum하도추적모형을 낙동강수계중 왜관에서 적포교구간의 12개 홍수사상에 대하여 적용하였고, 기존방법인 2변수 Muskingum방법의 저류상수 K와 가중계수 x에 추가된 $\alpha$는 측방유입수를 고려해주는 변수이다. 3변수모형의 추적방정식은 유한차분 방정식으로 표현되며, 추적상수 결정은 Matrix Inversion에 의하여 직접 계산가능하며, 이로부터 각홍수사상의 K x $\alpha$값을 구할수 있다. 본 연구를 실유역에 적용하여 실측치와 비교하여본 결과 비교적 잘 맞음을 알 수 있었으며, K와 x값은 하도특성인자로서 홍수규모와 관계되고 측방유입인자 $\alpha$는 항특성에 의하여 지배되는 변수로 측방유입량이 클수록 값이 커지는 성향으로 나타났다.
