본 논문에서는 동일한 체적분율 가지는 탄소나노튜브 나노복합재의 기계적 특성을 규명하였다. 동일한 chirality를 가지는 서로 다른 크기의 탄소나노튜브를 이용하여 탄소나노튜브의 크기가 복합재의 물성에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 복합재료의 분자동역학의 결과 탄소나노튜브의 길이방향의 물성은 크게 증가하나, 전단특성의 물성 강화효과를 나타나지 않았다. 이는 통해 탄소나노튜브와 기지재료 사이의 상호작용력이 복합재료의 전단력을 전달하고, 변형을 유지할 만큼 강하지 않다는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 분자동역학 결과를 바탕으로 멀티스케일 모델을 개발하여 복합재료에서 나타나는 현상을 묘사하였다. 제안된 멀티스케일 모델을 이용하여 다양한 조건의 복합재료에 대한 특성 예측이 가능하다.

기후변화로 인해 기온, 강수량, 습도 등의 기후를 예측하고 변화하는 환경에 적응해가며 생활하고 있다. 또한 여러 가지 외부적인 요인들의 영향을 받아 상수도 시설에서의 에너지 사용량도 영향을 많이 받는다. 하지만 이러한 상수도 시설의 사용량 변화로 인해 상수도 수요량의 변화량을 예측하는데 있어서 국내 연구 및 방법이 많이 부족한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다중스케일을 기반으로 하는 비선형 예측 모형을 개발하고자 한다. 다중스케일 분석에서도 가장 우수한 분해 능력을 가지는 Wavelet Transform을 적용하여 시계열을 분해한 후 패턴인식 기반의 비선형 예측모형인 Support Vector Machine(SVM)을 적용하였다. 상수도 수요량의 예측 과정은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상수도 수요량 자료를 Wavelet Transform 기법을 통하여 단순화 시킨다. 둘째, Global Wavelet Spectrum을 통하여 통계적으로 의미 있는 성분만을 추출하고 이를 해석 대상으로 한다. 셋째, 특정 주기를 갖는 유의한 독립성분들에 대해서 최적 지체시간을 결정한 후 SVM모형을 통해 예측 모형을 구축한다. 넷째, 나머지 성분에 대해서도 SVM 모형을 적용하여 예측을 실시한 후 앞서 예측된 성분과 모두 결합하여 최종적으로 예측시계열을 구성한다.

In this paper, we introduce a new technology to extract the unique features from an iris image, which uses scale-space filtering. Resulting iris code can be used to develop a system for rapid and automatic human identification with high reliability and confidence levels. First, an iris part is separated from the whole image and the radius and center of the iris are evaluated. Next, the regions that have a high possibility of being noise are discriminated and the features presented in the highly detailed pattern are then extracted. In order to conserve the original signal while minimizing the effect of noise, scale-space filtering is applied. Experiments are performed using a set of 272 iris images taken from 18 persons. Test results show that the iris feature patterns of different persons are clearly discriminated from those of the same person.

In this paper, the effects of scale formation in engine water jacket upon the thermal durability of engine itself and its component parts were studied. To understand the effect of quality of water, a full load engine endurance test for 50 hours was carried out with not-treated underground water. The followings were found through the tested engine inspection after the endurance test; 1-2 mm thick scale formation in the engine water jacket, valve seat wear, piston top land scuffing, piston pin stick, and cylinder bore scuffing in siamese area. In order to understand the causes of above test results, the heat rejection rate to coolant, the metal surface temperature of combustion chamber, and the oil and exhaust gas temperatures were measured and analyzed. The scale formed in the engine water jacket played a role as thermal insulator. The scale formed in the engine reduced the heat rejection rate to coolant and it caused to increase the metal surface temperature. The reduced heat rejection rate to coolant increased the heat rejection rate to oil and exhaust gas and increased the oil and exhaust gas temperature. Also, the reasons of valve seat wear, piston top land scuffing and cylinder bore scuffing, and piston pin stick quantitatively analyzed in this paper.

영상 매칭 기술은 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 다양하게 응용될 수 있는 기초적인 기술 중에 하나이다. 대표적인 영상 매칭 기술인 SIFT나 SURF는 강인한 영상 매칭 성능을 나타내지만 계산량이 방대하여 실시간 기술에 사용될 수 없는 문제점을 가진다. 최근에 ORB나 BRISK는 FAST 특징점 검출기와 BRIEF 특징점 표현자를 조합하여 실시간 영상 매칭을 가능하게 하면서 기존의 영상 매칭 기술과 견줄만한 성능을 나타내었다. 본 논문에서는 FAST와 BRIEF를 수정하여 영상 왜곡에 강인하면서 실시간으로 매칭을 수행할 수 있는 영상 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 노이즈에 강인하면서 스케일 변화를 고려하기 위하여 특징점 후보 영역을 제한하고 스케일 공간을 생성하여 특징점을 검출한다. 또한 영상의 회전 변화에 강인한 영상 매칭을 가능하게 하기 위하여 주변 픽셀 패턴의 Gradient로 특징점 방향을 결정하여 픽셀 밝기 값 비교로 이진 특징점 표현자를 생성한다. 제안하는 영상 매칭 알고리즘은 적은 계산량으로 기존의 알고리즘보다 우수한 영상 매칭 성능을 나타낸다. 특별히 노이즈가 존재하는 영상의 매칭에서 노이즈의 영향에 강인한 매칭 성능을 보여준다.

Innovation and Scale-up of Start-up companies are becoming important national tasks. In the past, it was spread the start-up policy paradigm such as 'Start-up America', 'Start-up Chile', 'Start-up Britain' to overcome the recession globally. However as the economic recovery has become more visible recently in advanced economies, it is shifting from a start-up support policy to a scale-up oriented policy paradigm such as 'Scale-up America', Scale-up UK', 'Scale-up Denmark'. It is necessary to enter the scale-up phase beyond the start-up phase to increase the number of high-quality jobs and to continue economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to grow the start-up into a strong medium-sized company and to lay the foundation for survival. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to consider the antecedent factors that influence the scale-up aspiration for the start-up firm to grow into a scale-up company, and empirically identifies the differences between the stages of economic development and entrepreneurs in the country. In order to accomplish the purpose, this study predicted scale-up by aspiration which is a predictor of scale-up behavior because it is difficult to achieve visible growth in a short period of time due to the characteristics of start-up companies. In order to empirically explore these relationships, the data were collected from nascent entrepreneurs who have less than 3.5 years of the Adult Population Survey(APS) among the subjects surveyed by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor(GEM) and the national economic development stage are divided into Innovation-driven, Efficiency-driven, Factor-driven type economies. For the test hypotheses, this study adopted the multi-level model analysis for comparison between national economic development stages and using the R 3.5.0 program. The results of this study are as follows. There is difference between the national economic development and the entrepreneur in the relationship between innovation orientation of entrepreneurs and scale-up aspirations. As the economy of the country develops, the innovation activity of the entrepreneur becomes more active. Since start-ups are heavily influenced by entrepreneurs, there is a difference in the degree of aspiration depending on how innovative an entrepreneur is in the same environment. In terms of the relationship between innovation orientation and scale-up aspiration, the fear of failure was found to differ between national economic development and entrepreneurs. The fear of failure differ from country to country, and this is one of the important factors affecting entrepreneurial activities. It is expected that the factors influencing the growth of the start-up companies which are identified through the results of these studies, will be used to create a suitable scale-up ecosystem according to the national economic development stage.

This study carried out finite element vibration analysis of pole structures made of GFRP, which is based on the micro-mechanical approach for different fiber-volume fractions. The finite element (FE) models for composite structures using multi-scale approaches described in this paper is attractive not only because it shows excellent accuracy in analysis but also it shows the effect of the material combination. The FE model is used for studying free vibrations of laminated composite poles for various fiber-volume fractions. In particular, new results reported in this paper are focused on the significant effects of the fiber-volume fraction for various parameters, such as fiber angles, layup sequences, and length-thickness ratios. It may be concluded from this study that the combination effect of fiber and matrix, largely governing the dynamic characteristics of composite structures, should not be neglected and thus the optimal combination could be used to design such civil structures for better dynamic performance.

In order to visualize point based Location-Based Social Network Services(LBSNS) data on multi-scaled tile map effectively, it is necessary to apply tile-based clustering method. Then determinating reasonable numbers and size of tiles is required. However, there is no such criteria and the numbers and size of tiles are modified based on data type and the purpose of analysis. In other words, researchers' subjectivity is always involved in this type of study. This is when Modifiable Areal Unit Problem(MAUP) occurs, that affects the results of analysis. Among LBSNS, geotagged Twitter data were chosen to find the influence of MAUP in scale effects perspective. For this purpose, the degree of spatial autocorrelation using spatial error model was altered, and change of distributions was analyzed using Morna's I. As a result, positive spatial autocorrelation showed in the original data and the spatial autocorrelation was decreased as the value of spatial autoregressive coefficient was increasing. Therefore, the intensity of the spatial autocorrelation of Twitter data was adjusted to five levels, and for each level, nine different size of grid was created. For each level and different grid sizes, Moran's I was calculated. It was found that the spatial autocorrelation was increased when the aggregation level was being increased and decreased in a certainpoint. Another tendency was found that the scale effect of MAUP was decreased when the spatial autocorrelation was high.

Numerical simulations by three-dimensional Particle Flow Code($PFC^{3D}$, Itasca) considering distinct element method (DEM) were carried out for prediction of triaxial compression test with sand material. The effect of scale conditions for numerical model and distinct material on final prediction results was analyzed by numerical models under various scale conditions, and following observations were made from the numerical experiments. It is very useful to model the initial material condition without any porosity conversion from 2-D to 3-D DEM. Numerical experiments have shown that in all cases considered, 3D distinct element modeling could provide good agreement on stress-strain behavior, volume change and strength properties with laboratory testing results. It was important thing to assess reasonable scale ratio of numerical model and distinct elements for saving calculation time and securing calculation efficiency under condition with accuracy and appropriateness as numerical laboratory. As results of DEM simulations under various scale conditions, most of results show that shear strength properties as cohesion and internal friction angle are similar in condition of $D_{mod}/D_{gmax}$ < 10. It shows that 3-D distinct element method could be used as efficient tool to assess strength properties by numerical laboratory technique.

A multi-scale fatigue life prediction methodology of composite pressure vessels subjected to multi-axial loading has been proposed in this paper. The multi-scale approach starts from the constituents, fiber, matrix and interface, leading to predict behavior of ply, laminates and eventually the composite structures. The multi-scale fatigue life prediction methodology is composed of two steps: macro stress analysis and micro mechanics of failure based on fatigue analysis. In the macro stress analysis, multi-axial fatigue loading acting at laminate is determined from finite element analysis of composite pressure vessel, and ply stresses are computed using a classical laminate theory. The micro stresses are calculated in each constituent from ply stresses using a micromechanical model. Three methods are employed in predicting fatigue life of each constituent, i.e. a maximum stress method for fiber, an equivalent stress method for multi-axially loaded matrix, and a critical plane method for the interface. A modified Goodman diagram is used to take into account the generic mean stresses. Damages from each loading cycle are accumulated using Miner's rule. Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to predict the overall fatigue life of a composite pressure vessel considering statistical distribution of material properties of each constituent, fiber volume fraction and manufacturing winding angle.
