This study is derived from relation between the natural landscape and architectural landscape. The type of landscape in Donghae seaside consist of three; Road, Mountain, Seaside. And we selected three landscapes about individual housing; Western, Traditional, Modern. This paper is analyzed 18-simulation scenes, which evaluated with semantic differential method in using 12-bipolar adjectives. The results of this study are as follows(ref: table 6). 1)The housing of western style do not correspond with landscape of Road, but landscape of mountain and seaside were suitable to the western style. 2)Mountain in Donghae seaside harmonizes with housing of traditional style. 3)Even though the housing of modern style were marked low assessment in three landscape, we found out relation, modern housing was well-matched with load landscape.

In spite of The exterior design of buildings has a remarkably significant value in terms of public aspect some exposed architectural equipments spoil the appearance of building. The design elements of exposed architectural equipments were partially changed and assessed in the semantic differential method. Thus the aesthetically favorable impression and values of public interest were able to be increased. The reasons why those hideous exposed architectural equipments were constructed, seemed to be as follows; the builders' selfishness, the citizens' ignorance and the immature social institutions that cannot restrict undesirable design efforts. Building equipments located outside are not classified as major elements in building regulations and thus can be installed and altered without any limitations even though they have great effects on the shape and colors of a building. So we have more interest in exposed architectural equipments and more deliberation of exterior design of a building.

현재, 우리나라 당뇨병의 유병률은 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있으며 당뇨병의 유병기간이 길수록 각종 합병증이 발생하며 더욱 심각한 증세를 나타내기도 한다. 그 중, 비만 및 고혈당, 당대사장애로 인한 당뇨병성 혈관 합병증과 말초 혈관 경화증이 많이 발병하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 광혈류량 측정법(Photoplethysmograaphy)으로 손가락에서 얻어진 맥파의 2차 미분 분석을 통해 당뇨병으로 확진된 36명의 당뇨병 환자에 대해 말초혈관 경화도를 연령별로 비교하고자 하였다. 이때 사용한 PPG 파형의 2차 미분 분석 평가 인자는 a와 d이고, d/a는 혈관의 경화도를 의미하며 경화도가 클수록 d/a의 값은 감소하게 되고, 연령이 증가할수록 경화도는 증가하게 된다. 50대 미만의 당뇨병 환자의 d/a값은 $-0.32{\pm}0.12$, 50대는 $-0.48{\pm}0.13$, 60대는 $-0.55{\pm}0.16$, 70대 이상에서는 $-0.59{\pm}0.19$로 연령이 높아질수록 d/a값이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, SPSS 13.0 for Windows(SPSS Inc, USA)의 Oneway ANOVA 분석 결과, 연령과 경화도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 하지만 70대 이상의 당뇨병 환자 그룹에서는 유의한 차이를 확인할 수 없었다. 본 연구에서는 PPG 파형의 2차 미분 분석을 통하여 연령별 당뇨병 환자의 말초혈판 경화도를 비교하였으며, 향후 보완 연구를 통해 비침습적이고 간단한 방법으로 당뇨병 환자의 말초혈관 경화도를 객관적으로 평가하고 진단할 수 있는 시스템 개발로 당뇨병 환자들의 심혈관계질환 사전예방과 치료효과 판정에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to analyze and quantitatively evaluate the impression of landscapes and soundscapes about traditional area of Chungnam Asan city in Korea. For this, we collated data about impression evaluation of Korean and Japanese students and, based on these result, we proved the validity and usefulness of the evaluation system that we proposed through this study. The research process conducted in this study as follows: first of all, we had selected five traditional places of interest in Asan City, and investigated various conditional elements of the area including soundscapes which is forming the landscape using video camera. And we made both Korean and Japanese students evaluate the impression for these videotaped landscape data through using the SD(semantic differential) method. And then, we quantified these qualitative data through applying the quantification theory and cluster analysis method to them. Though this process, we could obtain both data as a result derived by classifying each sample and categorizing levels of those impression evaluation. Because of totally difference between those two analyzing processes, which one is for sample classification and the other is for determining impression level, we could validate the usefulness of our evaluation system through conducting comparative analysis of results from both methods. Analysis showed that our novel evaluation system for landscape is effective and, in most part of the traditional landscape, Japanese students' responses are different far from the Korean students' responses.

Recently the prevalence rate of diabetes in Korea has been increasing rapidly due to high growth of economy and changes in dietary lifestyle. Vascular complication is one of diabetic complications which have frequently occurred by obesity, hyperglycemia and impaired glucose metabolism. Photoplethysmogram(PPG) measured from finger and toe is very useful for evaluation of vascular aging and sclerosis level since the PPG signal represents characteristics of peripheral vascular Several researchers have reported that second derivative of the finger PPG waveform was useful to evaluate vascular compliance and developed various analysis methods for vascular compliance. However, peripheral vascular compliance study for diabetic patient was never evaluated by using second derivative of PPG. Therefore, we aimed to objectively compare and to assess normal(n=850) and diabetic(n=50) groups vascular compliance using the second derivative of PPG waveform in this study. The evaluated factors of the second derivative of PPG are 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' and b/a rapresents vascular compliance. This study found out that when vascular compliance is decreased, the absolute value of b/a is decreased. The average vascular compliance of 50 diabetic patients with neuropathy, $-1.09{\pm}0.14$ is statistically lower than the normal group, $-0.81{\pm}0.09$ (p<0.05). In conclusion, we suggest an objective evaluation of peripheral vascular compliance for diabetic patients and prevention of vascular complication.

응력 변형율의 관계가 시간에 대한 미분의 형태로 나타나는 비선형 탄소성 혹은 점탄소성 재질을 갖는 구조물이나 지만의 거동 문제를 유한요소법 등의 방법을 이용하여 해결하려고 하는 경우 주어진 외력에 의한 새로운 응력이나 응력 강화 현상을 표현하는 여러 재료 상수값들을 구하기 위해서는 적분을 요하게 되며 일반적으로 수치해석적 방법에 의해 수행된다. 이러한 수치해석적 적분방법은 보다 정확한 결과를 얻기 위하여 알고리즘 자체의 정확성과 안정성이 요구된다. 정확성은 수치해석적 적분방법이 적용될 수 있는 step size에 관계없이 거의 동일한 결과치를 얻을 수 있느냐 하는 것을 말하고 안정성은 큰 step size에서도 수렴된 결과치를 얻을 수 있느냐 하는 것을 의미한다. 그 뿐만 아니라 비교적 복잡하고도 그 대상영역이 큰 문제를 해석하고자 할 때는 수렴속도 또한 빠른 해석방법이 바람직하게 된다. 따라서 본 기사에서는 여러가지 가능한 수치해석 적분 방법을 소개하고 그들의 장단점을 논하고자 한다.

The Conventional noise control attempts to simply reduce the level of product noise. But it is very straight forward way that we have consider human perception on noise. Since human listening is very sensitive to sound. Evaluation of the sound quality of a Vacuum Cleaner is studied base on human sensibility engineering. In this paper, we choose two Vacuum Cleaners that are sold in Korea and reduced noise control. Comparison Method is used to evaluate noise and preference of Vacuum Cleaner by steps. The sound quality of Vacuum Cleaner noise is analyzed by employing the subjective evaluation and by representing them in terms of the objective quantities. Semantic Differential Method is used to study sound quality Evaluation. To analyze the sound quality of Vacuum Cleaner noise, consider the coefficients of correlation between sound metrics and subjective rating. The linear regression models were obtained for the subjective evaluation and sound quality metrics.

In order to design the products that impression or emotional taste influence the purchase, feedback is necessary as useful data for better idea sketches through users emotional evaluation in early stage of design process. On the other hand, it was required to make judgments individually in previous image evaluations for emotional evaluations such as semantic differential method (SD method) that objects have been considered as classified tendency. However those SD methods are not enough to reflect flexible human capability with similarity judgment in object perceptual process. Therefore, this study proposes a classification of stimulus based on intuitive judgment and a hierarchical image evaluation method based on analysis of hierarchical process and fuzzy integration. The evaluation will be conducted through the order of process, intuitive classification of objective stimulus and items, definition of representatives in each class. Evaluation for each image of the stimulus, calculation of prior raking based on fuzzy integration. The evaluation supportive software is developed to conduct this evaluation process under interactive environments.
