거친 표면 위에서 물방울은 Wenzel (WZ) 상태와 Cassie-Bexter (CB) 상태로 존재할 수 있으며, 특히 돌기 사이를 채우고 있는 물 분자의 상태 (액체 또는 기체)로 물방울이 어떤 상태인지를 알아 낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열역학적 이론과 격자 기체 기반의 몬테카를로 방법을 사용하여 표면 위에 존재하는 돌기의 크기와 모양이 돌기 사이에서 일어나는 물 분자의 액체-기체 상전이에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 돌기의 너비와 높이가 일정한 비율을 유지하고 있을 경우, 직육면체 (Square) 돌기의 경우 그 크기가 커질수록 CB 상태로의 상전이가 잘 일어나는 반면, 원통형 (Circular) 돌기의 경우 매우 큰 크기에서 더 이상 CB 상태로의 상전이가 일어나지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

There always exists uncertainty which is mainly due to uncertainty of the evaluation of a geotechnical structure at a site. The uncertainty in the geotechnical analysis can be considered in the probabilistic analysis using the Monte Carlo Simulation. It needs various soil profiles which could be possible at the target site. In this study, a new method is proposed to generate soil profiles which are probable at the site. The proposed method analyzes a structure of a site and generates one dimensional soil profiles for a probabilistic analysis. Through the field application, the applicability of the prosed method was shown.

In order to shield the neutrons affecting the background of Low Level Gamma Ray Spectrometer, a neutron shielder was designed. The method used in this study for neutron shielding was the deceleration of fast neutrons by high density polyethylene(HDPE) and the absorption of those slowing-down neutrons by $B_4C$. The calculation results of neutron Interaction in HDPE using Monte Carlo simulation code MCNP4B showed that the thermal-neutron flux was maximum at 10 cm thickness of HDPE. The results also showed that 95% of the thermal neutrons were absorbed by 2 mm thickness of $B_4C$ absorber Consisted of 30 w% $B_4C$ and 70 w% polymer. The results of the Monte Carlo calculation were in good agreement with the experimental value obtained by a neutron shielding apparatus designed for this purpose.

As the use of radiation for medical purposes increases, the exposure dose of medical workers is also increasing. To reduce this dose, various studies on changing the shielding material have been conducted. Recently, a new method to reduce the dose at the entrance of the radiation treatment room was proposed by using the photoelectric effect that occurs when the radiation is scattered. Because this method is particularly effective for low-energy photons, in this study, a slit-type structure was proposed as a excellent shielding structure against scattered x-ray in a general photography room, and was evaluated the shielding effect by Monte Carlo simulation. As a result of the calculation, this study found that in the case of a structure in which steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm and a width of 5 cm are stacked at 2 mm intervals, a shielding effect was approximately 99.9% or more, excluding the heights of the floor and the patient where scattering occurs directly.

Since Greenhouse Gas Inventory & Research Center (GIR) of Korea was founded in 2010, the annual greenhouse gas inventory reports, one of the collections of GIR's major affairs, have been published from 2012. In the reports many items related to greenhouse gas emission quantities are included, but among them uncertainty values are replaced to basic values which IPCC guideline suggests. Even though IPCC guideline suggests the equations of each Tier level in details, the guideline recommends developing nation's own methodology on uncertainty which is closely related to statistical problems such as the estimation of a probability density function or Monte carlo methods. In the road transportation sector the emissions have been calculated by Tier 1 but the uncertainties have not been reported. This study introduce a bootstrap technique and Monte carlo method to estimates annual emission quantity and uncertainty, given activity data and emission factors such as annual traveled distances, fuel efficiencies and emission coefficients.

Monte Carlo ray tracing has been widely used for simulating a diverse set of photo-realistic effects. However, this technique typically produces noise when insufficient numbers of samples are used. As the number of samples allocated per pixel is increased, the rendered images converge. However, this approach of generating sufficient numbers of samples, requires prohibitive rendering time. To solve this problem, image filtering can be applied to rendered images, by filtering the noisy image rendered using low sample counts and acquiring smoothed images, instead of naively generating additional rays. In this paper, we proposed a Stein's Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) based $\grave{A}$-Trous wavelet to filter the noise in rendered images in a near-interactive rate. Based on SURE, we can estimate filtering errors associated with $\grave{A}$-Trous wavelet, and identify wavelet coefficients reducing filtering errors. Our approach showed improvement, up to 6:1, over the original $\grave{A}$-Trous filter on various regions in the image, while maintaining a minor computational overhead. We have integrated our propsed filtering method with the recent interactive ray tracing system, Embree, and demonstrated its benefits.

Go has a history of more than 2,500 years, and the life-and-death problems in Go is a fundamental problem domain that must be solved when implementing a computer Go. We attempted to determine the numbers of prototypical eye shapes with 3, 4, 5, and 6 eyes that are directly related to the life-and-death problems, and to classify the prototypical eye shapes represented in 4-tuple forms. Experiment was conducted by Monte-Carlo method and point pattern matching. According to the experimental results, the numbers of prototypical eye shapes were 2 for 3-eye, 5 for 4-eye, 12 for 5-eye, and 35 for 6-eye shapes. Further, using a 4-tuple form, we classified prototypical eye shapes into 1 for 3-eye, 3 for 4-eye, 4 for 5-eye, and 8 for 6-eye shapes.

This paper investigates the effects of thrust misalignments and offsets of the lateral center of gravity of a space launch vehicle on its guidance performance. Sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulations are applied to analyze their effects by computing changes in orbit injection errors when including the error sources. To compensate their effects, the attitude controller including an integrator additionally and the Steering Misalignment Correction (SMC) routine of the Saturn V are considered, and then Monte Carlo simulations are performed to evaluate their performances.
