A Monte-Carlo simulation method is proposed which can evaluate the target failure/safety levels on any failure modes of harbor structures as a function of central safety factor. Unlike the calibration method based on the average safety level of conventional design criteria, the target failure/safety level can be directly evaluated by only using central safety factors of the harbor structures which have been designed by safety factor method during the past several decade years. Several mathematical relationships are represented to straightforwardly connect the conventional safety factor design method with reliability-based design method. Even though limited data have been used in applying Monte-Carlo simulation method to sliding failure mode of the vertical breakwaters, it is found that target reliability indices evaluated by the suggested method in this paper is satisfactorily agreement with new criteria of reliability index of Japan.

In reliability based design and assessment (RBDA) methodology, reliability targets are used to ensure that safety levels are met relevant limit states in the stage of design and maintenance. The target reliability for flammable gas pipelines have not been developed yet in Korea. Instead of the reliability targets, the tolerable criteria for risk measures such as societal and individual risk have been applied in pipeline risk management. This paper introduces the procedures to develop the target reliability using tolerable risk criteria for societal and individual risk which can be enforced for high pressure natural gas pipelines in quantitative risk assessment. In addition, we propose the target reliability for natural gas and hydrogen gas transmission pipelines by the procedures.

The STAP system suppresses clutter and jamming of the radar signal, but required a large number of samples for optimal performance. A large number of samples increases the signal processing computation. Therefore, there is need for a transformation method for reducing the signal rank. The LCMV beamforming method can easily set the distortion-free-constraint in the direction of arrival, and the beamforming scaling is excellent, so that overall rank can be reduced. In this study, the information of target is estimated using the proposed quadratic pattern constraints(QPC) and LCMV beamforming methods. The proposed method can perform beam pattern control in a desired direction according to the number of constraint conditions as a secondary pattern constraint condition. Through simulation, the performance of the propose method is verified. As a result on th simulation, the desired target was estimated when the proposed method had an angular resolution of 10 degrees or more, but it was not possible to accurately estimate the desired target when the angular resolution was less than 10 degrees.

Swam intelligence refers that a large group of simple and unsophisticated entities work together to achieve complex and significant tasks. Researches using such swarm intelligence has been performed in the network routing area. Expecially, it has been well known that routing in mobile ad-hoc networks whose features are dynamic topology and routing based on the local information is one of the applications of swarm intelligence. In this paper, we propose an ant-based routing method for MANET. The proposed method sets its goals to reduce overheads by managing ants efficiently, and to reduce route set up time. The results obtained from simulations proved that the proposed method provides shorter path set-up time and end-to-end delay and less overhead while providing comparable packet delivery ratio.

This study is to reclassify the classifications or definitions of scientific literacy in scientific literacy researches since 1960s and grasp the classification trends of scientific literacy definitions. Sixteen articles have been selected among the articles that have been introduced in the two articles. Classification criteria are as follows: 1) "be learned," "competence," or "be able to function in society" as meanings of "literate," 2) "terms" or "description" as the ways of representing scientific literacy, 3) "singular structure," "hierarchical structure," or "parallel structure" as the inner structure of scientific literacy definitions. The results of this study are as follows: First, hierarchical structures in scientific literacy have almost always accompanied "terms" representing scientific literacy and also accepted the hierarchy between "be learned" and "competence," but not the definition of scientific literacy as functioning in society. All parallel structures in scientific literacy have accompanied the definition as functioning in society. And singular structure almost always appears in researches based on the views of scientific literacy in relatively recent times. Second, researches who have used "terms" as ways of representing scientific literacy have increased. Based on the results in this study, the meanings of scientific literacy have been emphasized in view of the ability of playing a role in a social context as well as learning and competence these days. To meet this movement in scientific literacy actively, science education community should get out of traditional teaching and learning scientific concepts and give emphasis on application in various context and social role of science learners.

The target controlled infusion(TCI) pump system is a logical approach to the development of improved administration techniques of an intravenous anaesthetic agent. The principle of TCI system is based on an understanding of the pharmacokinetic properties, three or four compartment model. The TCI system is optimal and flexible control of the plasma drug concentration. But the clinical goal is always to achieve a therapeutic drug effect, not a therapeutic concentration. So we developed the algorithm to target the concentration at the site of drug effect rather than the concentration in the plasma. If impulse drug is inputted into body, the decline of plasma concentration with time is shown, resulting in the expression of the differential equation. Therefore, we must reformulate our three-compartment model as four-compartment model with the effect compartment. And we tested plasma targeting and effect targeting algorithm by computer simulation using four-compartment model. So we developed the TCI capable of applying all intravenous drugs by adjusting individual pharmacokinetic parameters independently.

Recommender system helps customers to find easily items and helps the e-biz companies to set easily their target customer by automated recommending process. Recommender systems are being adopted by several e-biz companies and from these systems, both of customers and companies take some benefits. This study sets several thresholds to the similarity weight, which indicates a degree of similarity of two customers' preference, to improve the performance of prediction accuracy. According to the threshold, the accuracy of prediction is being improved but some threshold setting shows the reduction of the prediction rate, which is the coverage. This coverage reduction has male effect on the prediction accuracy of customers, so more study on the prediction accuracy of recommender system and to maximize the coverage are needed.

Purpose: The Levey-Jennings chart controlled measurement values that deviated from the tolerance value (mean ${\pm}2SD$ or ${\pm}3SD$). On the other hand, the upgraded Westgard Multi-Rules are actively recommended as a more efficient, specialized form of hospital certification in relation to Internal Quality Control. To apply Westgard Multi-Rules in quality control, credible quality control substance and target value are required. However, as physical examinations commonly use quality control substances provided within the test kit, there are many difficulties presented in the calculation of target value in relation to frequent changes in concentration value and insufficient credibility of quality control substance. This study attempts to improve the professionalism and credibility of quality control by applying Westgard Multi-Rules and calculating credible target value by using a commercialized quality control substance. Materials and Methods : This study used Immunoassay Plus Control Level 1, 2, 3 of Company B as the quality control substance of Total T3, which is the thyroid test implemented at the relevant hospital. Target value was established as the mean value of 295 cases collected for 1 month, excluding values that deviated from ${\pm}2SD$. The hospital quality control calculation program was used to enter target value. 12s, 22s, 13s, 2 of 32s, R4s, 41s, $10\bar{x}$, 7T of Westgard Multi-Rules were applied in the Total T3 experiment, which was conducted 194 times for 20 days in August. Based on the applied rules, this study classified data into random error and systemic error for analysis. Results: Quality control substances 1, 2, and 3 were each established as 84.2 ng/$dl$, 156.7 ng/$dl$, 242.4 ng/$dl$ for target values of Total T3, with the standard deviation established as 11.22 ng/$dl$, 14.52 ng/$dl$, 14.52 ng/$dl$ respectively. According to error type analysis achieved after applying Westgard Multi-Rules based on established target values, the following results were obtained for Random error, 12s was analyzed 48 times, 13s was analyzed 13 times, R4s was analyzed 6 times, for Systemic error, 22s was analyzed 10 times, 41s was analyzed 11 times, 2 of 32s was analyzed 17 times, $10\bar{x}$ was analyzed 10 times, and 7T was not applied. For uncontrollable Random error types, the entire experimental process was rechecked and greater emphasis was placed on re-testing. For controllable Systemic error types, this study searched the cause of error, recorded the relevant cause in the action form and reported the information to the Internal Quality Control committee if necessary. Conclusions : This study applied Westgard Multi-Rules by using commercialized substance as quality control substance and establishing target values. In result, precise analysis of Random error and Systemic error was achieved through the analysis of 12s, 22s, 13s, 2 of 32s, R4s, 41s, $10\bar{x}$, 7T rules. Furthermore, ideal quality control was achieved through analysis conducted on all data presented within the range of ${\pm}3SD$. In this regard, it can be said that the quality control method formed based on the systematic application of Westgard Multi-Rules is more effective than the Levey-Jennings chart and can maximize error detection.
