This paper presents a new approaching method to determine the velocity and geometry of shallow subsurface from seismic refraction events. After picking the first breaks from seismic refraction data, we assume that field refraction seismogram can be replaced by the unit delta function having time shift of first break. Time curves are generated by shooting ray tracing. The partial derivatives seismogram for a damped least squares method is computed analytically at each step of the forward ray tracing. The technique is successfully tested on synthetic and real data. It has the advantage of real full waveform inversion, which is robust at low frequency band even if the initial guess is far from the true model.

This paper numerically examines, straight and twisted electrical heat trace installations for their anti-freezing effects on water inside a pipe. The unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with an energy equation were solved to compare the two installation methods. The heat conduction of the pipe with a heat source interacts with the natural convection of the water, and the conjugate heat transfer was considered using a commercial code (ANSYS-FLUENT) based on a SIMPLE-type algorithm. Numerical experiments, were done to investigate the isotherms and the vector fields in the water region to extract the evolutions of the minimum and maximum temperatures of the water inside the pipe. There was no substantial difference in the anti-freezing effects between the straight and twisted. Therefore, the straight installation is recommended after considering the damage and short circuit behavior of the electrical heat trace.

This paper examines the recently empirical test for the two types of endogenous growth models, which one is more fitted to real data. We adopt the non-stationary panel data methodologies for seeking empirical implication by using productivity and R&D data in the OECD over the past two decades. The Empirical tests show that there is a robust relationship Total Factor Productivity and R&D variables implied by semi-endogenous growth model. The relationship suggested by fully endogenous growth theory, however, is sensitive to R&D variables. Therefore, the estimation results provide empirical evidence in favour of endogenous growth theory of R&D expenditure role for sustaining economic growth. The sustained Total Factor Productivity, however, is maintained by more increasing R&D inputs for overcoming diminishing return to R&D efforts.

Structural change of time series means that the distribution of observations is relatively stable in the period of constituting the entire time series data, but shows a sudden change of the distribution characteristic at a specific time point. Within a non-stationary long-term time series, it is important to determine in a timely manner whether the change in short-term trends is transient or structurally changed. This is because it is necessary to always detect the change of the time series trend and to take appropriate measures to cope with the change. In this paper, we propose a method for decision makers to easily grasp the structural changes of time series by visualizing the test results based on the unit root test. Particularly, it is possible to grasp the short-term structural changes even in the long-term time series through the method of dividing the time series and testing it.

Recently, many researchers have been interested in children with phonological disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine those children in comparison with normal children and to find better assessment criteria of the whole-word approach. Three children with phonological disorders and three normal children of 5 to 7 years old participated in the picture description tasks. Results of this study were as follows: there was a significant difference in the whole-word assessment between normal and phonological disorder children. Such criteria as whole-word correctness, whole-word complexity, whole-word intelligibility proved to be good for diagnosing children's phonological disorders. Further studies would be desirable to apply the approach to more children of various age groups.

비정상(non-stationary) 장기 시계열 안에서도, 단기적으로 추세의 변화가 일시적인 것인지, 아니면 구조적으로 변한 것인지를 적시에 판단하는 것은 중요하다. 이는 시계열 추세의 변화를 상시 감지하여, 변화에 맞는 적정한 수준의 대응을 할 필요가 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 장기 시계열이 주어진 상황에서, 단위근 검정법을 기반으로 단기적으로 구조변화를 감지하여, 이러한 변화가 얼마나 지속될 것인지를 시각적으로 판단할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

현재까지 상수도관망 내 수질적 거동에 대한 분석은 (1) 네트워크 수질 모델(EPANET 수질모의 등)에 기반한 방법과 (2) 시공간적 저해상도 데이터에 기반한 데이터 분석법이 주를 이루었다. 그러나 현존 네트워크 수질 모델은 수질 사고의 복잡한 물리·화학적 거동을 상세히 모의하기 어렵다. 반면 계측 및 통신기술의 발달로 고해상도 수질 데이터의 실시간 수집이 가능해지면서 사고의 사전감지, 발생시 즉각적 탐지 및 대응을 위한 데이터 분석법에 관심이 증가하고 있다. 서울 문래동, 인천, 포항의 경우에서도 알 수 있듯이, 수질사고 발생 시 원인물질의 시공간적 이송 또는 전파에 대한 정보는 사고대응에 유용하게 활용된다. 본 연구는, 비정상적인 수질변화의 계통 내 전달 시간을 계산하기 위해 고해상도 수질 스마트 미터 데이터에 기반한 데이터 분석법을 개발하였다. 물공급 하류방향의 수질변화 전달 시간 정량화를 위해 화음탐색법 기반 동적시간워핑(Dynamic time warping; DTW) 기술을 이용하였고, 원데이터의 전처리를 위해 이동평균필터링을 수행하였다. 개발된 분석법은 A시 생산 및 배·급수과정의 감시지점에서 10초 단위로 계측된 다양한 수질변수(pH, 탁도, 잔류염소, 전기전도도, 수온 등)의 공간적 변이 전파시간을 결정하기 위해 적용되었다. 분석에 활용한 데이터는 데이터 통신 및 측정 기기에 의한 이상값과 운영상황의 변화에 따라 변동한 값을 처리하기 이전의 데이터이다. 데이터 품질에 의한 영향을 배제하기 위해 이상값이 발생하지 않은 기간을 파악한 후, 그 기간에 대하여 분석하였다. 계통 내 위계에 따라 두 지점의 측정값의 전파시간을 정량화한 결과, 지점에 따라 전파시간이 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 같은 두 지점에 적용한 결과라도 DTW를 적용하는 기간과 이동평균필터링의 크기에 따라 수질변화 전달 시간이 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 분석법은 다변량 수질변수 간의 영향관계를 파악하는데 확장 적용이 가능하다. 또한, 이 방법의 실시간 적용을 통해 동적으로 변화하는 전달시간을 주기적, 공간적으로 갱신하여 관망 수질 변화 모니터링이 가능하다.

The online learning is a process of obtaining the solution for a given objective function where the data is accumulated in real time or in batch units. The stochastic gradient descent method is one of the most widely used for the online learning. This method is not only easy to implement, but also has good properties of the solution under the assumption that the generating model of data is homogeneous. However, the stochastic gradient method could severely mislead the online-learning when the homogeneity is actually violated. We assume that there are two heterogeneous generating models in the observation, and propose the a new stochastic gradient method that mitigate the problem of the heterogeneous models. We introduce a robust mini-batch optimization method using statistical tests and investigate the convergence radius of the solution in the proposed method. Moreover, the theoretical results are confirmed by the numerical simulations.

In the safety assessment of the geological disposal system of the radioactive wastes, the abnormal scenarios, in which the system is impacted by the abnormal events, need to be considered in addition to the reference scenario. In this study, characterization and prediction of well intrusion as one of the abnormal events which will impact the disposal system were conducted probabilistically and statistically for the safety assessment. The domestic well development data were analyzed, and the prediction methodologies of the well intrusion were suggested with a computation example. From the results, the annual well development rate per unit area in Korea was about 0.8 well/yr/km² in the conservative point of view. Considering the area of the overall disposal system which is about 1.5 km², the annual well development rate within the disposal system could be 1.2 well/yr. That is, it could be expected that more than one well would be installed within the disposal system every year after the institutional management period. From the statistical analysis, the probabilistic distribution of the well depth followed the log-normal distribution with 3.0363 m of mean value and 1.1467 m of standard deviation. This study will be followed by the study about the impacts of the well intrusion on the geological disposal system, and the both studies will contribute to the increased reliability of safety assessment.

A numerical model was developed to predict the stage-discharge curve and lateral distribution of unit discharge in open channels with nonuniform cross section or compound open-channels. The governing equation is the one-dimensional momentum equation based on assumptions of the steady and uniform flow conditions in the longitudinal direction and the uniform water surface elevation in a cross section. Vegetative drag force term was included in governing equation in order to reflect the effect of floodplain vegetation on the flow characteristics. Finite element method was applied to obtain the numerical solution of the governing equation. Stage-discharge curve and lateral distribution of unit discharge for a given water surface are calculated based on input data, such as the cross sectional geometry, Manning's roughness coefficient, vegetative information and longitudinal slope of channel bed. The developed model was verified by comparing the calculated results with the observed data and the results of Darby and Thorne's(1996) model and the nonlinear k-$\epsilon$ model. The verified model was applied to estimate the upstream boundary conditions in two-dimensional flow model. The numerical results using laterally distributed unit discharge were compared with those obtained using uniformly distributed unit discharge in two-dimensional flow model.
