Digital watermarking is tried to get an optimum tradeoffs between its performance characteristics, robustness, transparency and capacity. This paper is, therefore, suggesting a watermarking technique that builds multiple barcodes in various frequency bands to implement embedded watermarks that is imperceptible and robust against various attacks. Even though a watermark technique with duplicated barcode watermarks embedded in various frequency bands can satisfy robustness as there is high possibility that watermarks embedded in an image remains after various attacks, the duplicated barcode data can weaken imperceptibility. Thus, to satisfy the conflicting characteristic requirements of watermarks, robustness and imperceptibility, different barcode data is embedded in each frequency band. The test shows that ownership authentication with the technique suggested in this thesis does not require specialized hardware, and extracted watermarks can be easily identified through a mobile barcode scanner app, which allows low complexity, low cost and swift identification.

This paper propose a digital watermarking method for digital contents which satisfies both the invisibility and the robustness to attacks to prohibit counterfeiting, modification, illegal usage and illegal re-production of video contents. This watermarking algorithm insert a watermark(digital hologram) by generated using Fresnel transform which improve the robustness. The inserting positions of the watermark choose by considering the frequency property of an image and a watermark. Also the amount of watermarking for watermark bit decide by considering the level of 2DDWT. This algorithm was implemented by C++ and experimented for invisibility and robustness with optical system. The experiment results showed that the method satisfied enough the invisibility of the inserted watermark and robustness against attacks. For the general attacks, the error rate of the extracted watermark was less than 15%, which is enough in robustness against the attacks.

This paper proposes the robust high-gain observer based SOC estimatro for uncertain RC model of Li-Ion batteries. In general, RC battery model has inevitable uncertainties and it cause some negative effect to estimate the accurate SOC of Li-Ion batteries. The proposed estimator overcomes such weakness with two techniques; high-gain observer design technique and sliding mode control technique. A high-gain observer provides the robustness against model uncertainties to the proposed estimator. A sliding mode control technique helps the proposed estimator by reducing the side effect of adopting a high-gain observer such as peaking phenomenon and perturbation. The performance of the proposed estimator is verified by some simulation.

The toughness and morphology of epoxy resin based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA) cured with of tris (dimethylaminomethy]) phenol(DMP-30) and castor oil (CO) as a toughening modifier have been studied. Mixtures of CO and an epoxy resin showed a higher miscibility than the classical CTBN modified epoxy resin. The glass transition temperature($T_g$) was decreased with the CO content and the cure temperature. It is interpreted that the networks of epoxy matrix obtained at high temperature are apparently looser and more flexible due to the lower crosslinking density. The toughness was slightly increased with the CO content at $40^{\circ}C$ of curing temperature. The toughness increased with increasing the cure temperature and CO content.

Unsaturated polyester(UP) resin is one of the major thermosetting resins. It is very useful as the matrix resin of the composite material because of its low viscosity. The polymer resin, however, has several drawbacks; The volume shrinkage occurs during the crosslinking reaction of the UP resin with styrene monomer and the resulting polymer is weak to the alkali and also brittle. The mechanical properties of UP resin can be improved by blending various materials. In this study, polyurethane(PU) was used as a modifier in order to enhance the toughness of the UP resin. The goal of the research is to study the effect of the polyol molecular weight as a PU soft segment and the PU contents on the toughness of PU-modified UP resins. UP/PU polymer network may occur through the reaction between isocyanate group in the methyldiisocyanate(MDI) and hydroxyl group in the UP molecules. The maximum toughness value was shown at 2 wt% of the PU content. This effect results from the incorporation of the PU segment into the UP resin.

This study was conducted to compare nurses' job stress, hardness and burnout between general hospitals and advanced general hospitals. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires from 394 nurses(general 198, upgrade general 196) in the C and S city between April and May, 2010. Data analysis was done with independent t test, ANCOVA, ANOVA, Scheffe & Eacute test and Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS WIN v 17.0. Job stress, hardness, and burnout of nurses in general hospitals were 2.45, 2.11 and 3.70 respectively. Those in advanced general hospitals were 2.69, 2.70 and 3.70 respectively. Job stress and hardness were significantly higher in general hospitals. There was no significant difference of burnout between general and advanced general hospitals. Burnout of nurses in both hospitals was positively correlated with job stress and negatively correlated with hardness. Further studies are necessary for identify factors influencing job stress of general hospitals. Program for enhancing hardness of nurses in upgrade general hospitals should be developed.

This study aims to identify the relationship between ADHD trait and game addiction among high school students, and to examine the double mediating model of hardiness and emotional use of music on that relationship. Participants were 254 male and female high school students. World Health Organization ADHD Self-Report Scale, Short Form of Hardiness Questionnaire, Use of Music Inventory, and Internet Gaming Use-Elicited Symptom Screen were used for this study. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used to analyse a double mediating effect. Results revealed that ADHD trait was negatively correlated with hardiness of high school students, and positively correlated with emotional use of music and game addiction. And, hardiness of high school students was positively correlated with emotional use of music and negatively correlated with game addiction, whereas emotional use of music was negatively correlated with game addiction. It was found that hardiness and emotional use of music were sequentially mediating ADHD trait and game addiction among high school students. These findings suggest that hardiness and emotional use of music play some special roles in the path in which adolescents' ADHD trait affects game addiction.

이 논문은 두 개의 질량을 가진 미소 감쇄 시스템에 대해 외란 관측기 기반 추종 제어기의 강인성을 증가시키는 새로운 감쇄 주입법(damping injection)을 제시한다. '미소 감쇄'란 감쇄 계수가 다른 파라미터들과 비교해서 매우 작다는 것을 의미한다. 파라미터에 불확실성을 가진 미소 감쇄 시스템에 대한 외란 관측기의 적용은 전체 시스템을 불안정성하게 할 수 있다는 것을 관측할 수 있기에, 외란 관측기의 구조 중 공칭 (Nominal) 모델에 인위적으로 더 많은 감쇄를 추가함으로써 강인성을 강화시키는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 강인 제어 이론의 제로 익스클루젼(zero exclusion) 정리를 이용하여 감쇄 주입법의 안정성을 증명하고 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

본 논문은 카메라 파라메터의 측정오차에 대하여 강인성을 보이는 새로운 로봇의 스테레오 시각 위치제어 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시된 알고리즘은 카메라로부터 측정된 영상 데이터만을 이용함으로써, 특히 파라메터 측정오차에 대하여 매우 민감함을 보이는 영상 데이터로부터 작업 공간에서의 위치로의 변환, 즉 역변환 추정장치의 필요성을 제거하였다. 이러한 특징이 기존 개발된 시각 제어기와의 큰 차이를 두고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 제시된 제어기는 전 작업 영역 내에서 시스템 안정성을 갖는다. 또한 카메라의 위치 측정 오차에 대하여 전혀 영향을 받지 않음이 증명되어지고 방향 폭정 오류에 대해서도 기존 제어기보다 강인함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 보여진다.

[ $H{\infty}$ ] controller, which shows robustness for disturbances and noises, can not be used in the case of uncertain system parameters. Even if the $H{\infty}$ controller can be designed for the parameter uncertain system, its performance can be deteriorated. Therefore, in this paper, the robustness of $H{\infty}$ controller is improved by using the SMC(Sliding Mode Control). The LMI based $H{\infty}$ controller is designed first and then SMC controller is added.
