It is no exaggeration to say that the productivity of a research using computer simulations on complex molecular systems like biomolecules depends on the ability of the sampling algorithm to explore the relevant parts of configuration space. In this study, we investigate the properties on the mutiensemble sampling (MES) which is one of the solutions that surmount limitations of conventional sampling algorithms. Works for finding out practical systematic ways of using the MES efficiently to explore distantly separated regions in configuration space are performed. In this work, the more generalized form of weighting function for MES is used and 'cavity formation in water' is simulated using Monte Carlo. investigating the correlation of simulation parameters and the efficiency of the method, we propose a practical way of maximizing the power of the MES. We applied the way to 'cavity formation in water' and were able to explore the parts of configuration space relevant to cavities of radius from 0 to 5.6A in a single simulation.

This paper proposes a new document clustering system using fuzzy logic-based genetic algorithm (GA) and semantic vector expansion technology. It has been known in many GA papers that the success depends on two factors, the diversity of the population and the capability to convergence. We use the fuzzy logic-based operators to adaptively adjust the influence between these two factors. In traditional document clustering, the most popular and straightforward approach to represent the document is vector space model (VSM). However, this approach not only leads to a high dimensional feature space, but also ignores the semantic relationships between some important words, which would affect the accuracy of clustering. In this paper we use latent semantic analysis (LSA)to expand the documents to corresponding semantic vectors conceptually, rather than the individual terms. Meanwhile, the sizes of the vectors can be reduced drastically. We test our clustering algorithm on 20 news groups and Reuter collection data sets. The results show that our method outperforms the conventional GA in various document representation environments.

Advanced analysis and optimal design of semi-rigid space steel frames were presented. The advanced analysis can predict the combined nonlinear effects of connection, geometry, and material on the behavior and strength of semi-rigid frames. The Kishi-Chen power model was used to describe the nonlinear behavior of semi-rigid connections. Geometric nonlinearity was determined using stability functions. Material nonlinearity was determined using the Column Research Council (CRC) tangent modulus and the parabolic function. The direct search method proposed by Choi and Kim was used as optimization technique. One by one, the member with the largest unit value evaluated using the LRFD interaction equation were placed adjacent to a larger member selected from the database. The objective function was assumed to be the weight of steel frame, while the constraint functions were load-carrying capacities, deflections, inter-story drifts, and the ductility requirements. The member sizes determined using the proposed method were compared to those derived from the conventional LRFD method.

In this study, Correlation analysis for relationship between storm characteristics and flood damage cost was carried out using histogram analysis. The spatial range of flood damage cost data was the whole country and 16 provinces in the Korea, and period range was 16 years, from 1994 to 2009. According to the results of this analysis, most of total flood damage cost was highest in small; middle scale rainfall events of high frequency. Based on the results of comparison among 16 provinces, the ability to prevent flood demage of metropolitan was better than that of provinces. And the storm characteristics of causing maximum flood damage cost was different from each provinces. Therefore, the construction size in flood defence measures has to be determined when flood defence measures considering the results of this study as an useful guideline.

Steel plate bonding method with epoxy is common applied to repair and strengthen RC structures, but Steel is apt to corrode quickly, hard to manufacture and heavy. To overcome these defects, it is carried out research on strengthening RC structures with FRP(Fibre Reinforced Polyrner/Plastic) FRP is generally used in the shape of Plate or Sheet, but it has weak point such as premature failure, difficult work. To cope with these problem, NSMR(Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement) which uses CFRP in the shape of Rod is proposed and carried out active research on strengthening effect of variables such as quantity, anchorage length and space of CFRP-Rod. Strengthening with CFRP-Rod is carried out under loading to some degree in fact, and so the amount of pre-loading is selected as variable in this research. The amount of pre-loading is chosen in proportion to nominal strength of non-strengthened specimen with CFRP-Rod.

Background: This study was to investigate the effect of non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation due to hemiplegic patients due to stroke on temporal and spatial gait ability. Design: Randomized sham controlled trial. Methods: For the study method, 42 patients with hemiplegia due to stroke were randomly assigned to 14 patients each, and the general walking group, tDCS walking group, and tDCS (sham) walking group were subjected to 5 times a week, 30 minutes a day, and 6 weeks. In the temporal gait variables of hemiplegic patients due to stroke, the effect of the gait time, gait cycle, single support, double support, swing phase, stance phase, gait speed, cadence were measured. In spatial variables, one step length and one step length were measured. Results: As a result of the study, the EG group significantly increased in the step time, gait velocity, and cadence of the paralysis side in the comparison of temporal walking variables between groups according to the application of tDCS of walking ability in hemiplegic patients due to stroke patients(p<.05). In the change in spatial walking variables between groups according to the application of tDCS, the step length and stride length of the EG group showed a significant increase. Both the comparison of temporal and spatial symmetry walking variables between groups according to tDCS application was not significant(p>.05) Conclusion: As a result, tDCS has an effective effect on the improvement of the gait ability of stroke patients. In particular, it is an effective method of physical therapy that can improve the cadence and speed of gait, which can be combined with the existing gait training to effectively increase the gait of hemiplegia due to stroke patients.

도시의 개발은 불투수면의 증가, 토지이용의 변화, 용수 수요 증가를 초래하였고, 최근에는 기후변화 양극화 현상으로 도심내 물순환체계를 더욱 왜곡시키는 문제를 초래하였다. 1962년부터 서울의 도심지가 본격적으로 개발되기 시작하면서 7.8%였던 불투수율이 2010년에는 50%까지 증가하였다. 토지의 피복상태가 숲과 흙일 때는 강우의 10%는 하천으로, 토양 흡수는 50%, 증발이 40%가량 된다. 보통 토양에 흡수된 물은 토양층에서 머물렀다가 중간유출되어 하천으로 유입되거나 지하수로 전환된다. 그러나 개발로 인하여 아스팔트나 콘크리트로 포장된 경우 55%가 하천으로 유입되고 토양으로 흡수되는 양은 15% 정도로 강우가 급격하게 유출되어 빠져나가 버린다. 도시 불투수면적의 증가는 단순히 치수와 이수의 문제뿐만 아니라 도심의 하천 및 녹지공간에 조성되어 있는 생태계 유지에 필요한 최소한의 수량인 생태용수 확보마저 위협하고 있다. 도심 하천의 환경생태유량 확보는 하천의 정상적인 기능을 유지할 뿐만 아니라 하천의 자정 능력을 향상하며, 수생생물의 서식환경을 보존에 기여하므로 도심의 자연성 회복에 있어 매우 중요하다. 도시 생태환경은 녹지의 단절과 파편화로 연속성을 확보하지 못하고 있는데, 이렇게 단절되고 파편화된 생태계를 연결하여 생태축을 확보하면 도시 생태계의 건강성을 증진시킬 수 있다. 대부분의 도시에서 관리하고 있는 가로수 및 띠녹지 등 녹지공간(그린 네트워크, Green Network)을 활용하여 수원 함양이나 수질정화 기능(블루 네트워크, Blue Network)을 부여하면 녹지와 수자원을 연결한 그린-블루 네트워크를 형성하여 도시 생태용수확보에도 기여할 뿐만 아니라 나아가 도심 하천의 자연성 회복에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 도시의 가로수와 띠녹지를 활용하여 빗물저장 기능과 침투기능을 확대하기 위해 기존에 녹지 및 공원 관리 차원에서 가로수 도시계획이 수립되고 관련 사업이 진행되어 온 현행 제도상의 문제점을 검토하여 제도적 개선 방안을 제안하는 것에 목적을 둔다.

The mathematical models for GIS-based spatial data integration have been developed for geological applications such as mineral potential mapping or landslide susceptibility analysis. Among various models, the effectiveness of fuzzy logic based integration of multiple sets of geological data is investigated and discussed. Unlike a traditional target-driven fuzzy integration approach, we propose a data-driven approach that is derived from statistical relationships between the integration target and related spatial geological data. The proposed approach consists of four analytical steps; data representation, fuzzy combination, defuzzification and validation. For data representation, the fuzzy membership functions based on the likelihood ratio functions are proposed. To integrate them, the fuzzy inference network is designed that can combine a variety of different fuzzy operators. Defuzzification is carried out to effectively visualize the relative possibility levels from the integrated results. Finally, a validation approach based on the spatial partitioning of integration targets is proposed to quantitatively compare various fuzzy integration maps and obtain a meaningful interpretation with respect to future events. The effectiveness and some suggestions of the schemes proposed here are illustrated by describing a case study for landslide susceptibility analysis. The case study demonstrates that the proposed schemes can effectively identify areas that are susceptible to landslides and ${\gamma}$ operator shows the better prediction power than the results using max and min operators from the validation procedure.

Recently, health examination centers have been changing from auxiliary medical facilities to key and independent medical facilities. However, it is not easy to improve medical facilities, including health examination centers, due to the variable characteristics of the relationship between humans and space. Therefore, this study was done to develop a pedestrian-based discrete event simulation analysis program to examine the problems and develop methods for improvement. The program was developed to analyze five evaluation indices and the density of examinees. The problems were derived by analyzing the required time, capacity, and queue size for each examination through simulations. We reduced the examination time and moving distance, increased the capacity, and distributed the queues by adjusting the medical services and relocating the examination rooms. The results were then quantitatively verified by simulations.
