  • Functional ultrasound imaging, such as elasticity imaging and micro-blood flow Doppler imaging, enhances diagnostic capability by providing useful mechanical and functional information about tissues. However, the implementation of functional ultrasound imaging poses limitations such as the storage of vast amounts of data in Radio Frequency (RF) data acquisition and processing. In this paper, we propose a sub-Nyquist approach that reduces the amount of acquired axial samples for efficient shear-wave elasticity imaging. The proposed method acquires data at a sampling rate one-third lower than the conventional Nyquist sampling rate and tracks shear-wave signals through RF signals reconstructed using band-pass filtering-based interpolation. In this approach, the RF signal is assumed to have a fractional bandwidth of 67 %. To validate the approach, we reconstruct the shear-wave velocity images using shear-wave tracking data obtained by conventional and proposed approaches, and compare the group velocity, contrast-to-noise ratio, and structural similarity index measurement. We qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrate the potential of sub-Nyquist sampling-based shear-wave elasticity imaging, indicating that our approach could be practically useful in three-dimensional shear-wave elasticity imaging, where a massive amount of ultrasound data is required.

  • As an estimator of the conditional probability of discovering a new species at the next observation after a sample of certain size is taken, the one proposed by Good(1953) has been most widely used. Recently, Clayton and Frees(1987) showed via simulation that their nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator(NPMLE) has smaller MSE than Good's estimator when the population is relatively nonuniform. Lee(1989) proved that their conjecture is asymptotically true for truncated geometric population distributions. One shortcoming of the NPMLE, however, is that it has a considerable amount of negative bias. In this study we proposed a bias-corrected version of the NPMLE for virtually all realistic population distributions. We also showed that it has a smaller asymptotic MSE than Good's extimator except when the population is very uniform. A Monte Carlo simulation was performed for small sample sizes, and the result supports the asymptotic results.

  • 대규모의 전력을 사용하며 전력 수요가 일정하지 않고 변동하는 제철소의 전기아크로 (electric arc furnace) 부하는 전압 플릭커 (voltage flicker) 등 전력품질을 저하시키는 현상의 주 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서, 전력품질의 향상을 위한 전력계통의 계획과 운용에 있어서 이러한 부하들의 비선형적인 전압-전류 특성을 해석하고 모델링하는 것이 우선 되어야 한다. 특히 전기아크로 부하의 비선형적이고 랜덤 신호에 가까운 특성은 stochastic 접근법에 의해 주로 모델링되어 왔으나, 전기아크로 부하에 의한 전력계통에서의 영향을 평가를 위해서는 deterministic 접근법에 의한 모델링이 필요하며 전기아크로 부하가 가지는 chaos 특성을 Lorenz 시스템으로 표현한 부하모델이 개발되었다[1]. 개발된 모델에 의해 하나의 chaos 시스템으로 예측된 전기아크로 부하 패턴은 전 동작 범위에서 부하 특성을 정확하게 반영하는데 문제가 있다. 따라서, 전기아크로 부하 패턴을 표현할 수 있는 복수의 chaos 시스템을 이용하여 보다 나은 예측 특성을 가진 부하 모델의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 Lorenz 시스템과 전기아크로 부하의 고주파영역 특성을 보다 적절하게 반영할 수 있는 Logistic 시스템을 혼합한 형태의 chaos 모델을 개발하고, 전력 계통에서의 전력품질 저하현상을 정량화하는 지수를 통해 모델의 유용성과 정확성을 검증하고자 한다.

  • 나노인덴테이션은 시편에 압자를 침투시켜 재료의 기계적 특성을 파악할 수 있는 경도시험법이다. 압입범위를 나노미터범위로 조절할 수 있어 기존에 접근할 수 없었던 극 미소부분에로 응용이 넓어지고 있다. 경도시험시 재료의 탄성 및 소성 작용에 의해 재료는 변형되고, 표면변화 관찰을 통해 표면아래 부분에서 이루어지고 있는 거동을 예측할 수 있다. 이러한 관점에서 나노인덴테이션 시험시에도 발생하는 파일업과 싱크인 현상에서 재료가 나노미터 범위에서 어떠한 양상으로 변형을 하는지를 고찰하는 것은 의미가 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서 파일업과 싱크인의 양상을 파악하고 그 양을 정량화하기 위하여 가공경화양에 따른 표면변화와 압입하중 변화에 따른 표면변화를 관찰하였다. 어닐링한 봉상 알루미늄을 압축변형을 0%, 5%, 20%, 40%, 50% 로 변형시켜 가공경화를 일으켰고, 표면은 전해연마하여 나노압입시험이 가능하도록 하였다. 각각의 시편을 나노인덴테이션 압입하중을 변화시켜 재료에서 하중 변화에 따라 나타나는 표면변화를 관찰하였고, 위의 각 조건에서 파일업양을 정량화 하였다. 연구결과에 대해 ANSYS 유한요소분석 프로그램을 사용하여 재료의 변형양상을 시뮬레이션 하였고, 실제 실험데이터와 비교 분석하였다.

  • This paper shows alternative route search and preference route search for the traffic route search, and proposes the use of the fuzzy non-additive controller by the application of AHP(analytic hierarchy process). It is different from classical route search and notices thinking method of human. Appraisal element, weight of route is extracted from basic of the opinion gathering for the driving expert and example of route model was used for the finding of practice utility. Model evaluation was performed attribute membership function making of estimate element, estimate value setting, weight define by the AHP, non additive presentation of weight according to $\lambda$-fuzzy measure and Choquet fuzzy integral. Finally, alternative route search was possible to real time traffic route search for the well variable traffic environment, and preference route search showed reflection of traffic route search disposition for the driver individual. This paper has five important meaning. (1)The approach is similar to the driver's route selection decision process. (2)The approach is able to control of route appraisal criteria for the multiple attribute. (3)The approach makes subjective judgement objective by a non additive. (4)The approach shows dynamic route search for the alternative route search. (5)The approach is able to consider characteristics of individual drivers attributed for the preference route search.

  • Damage of both life and property has been increased by natural disaster under the influence of climate change, thus many natural disaster vulnerability researches have been carried out to make adaptation policy and impact assessment of climate change recently. Their method for assessing vulnerability usually have used proxy variables for making vulnerability indices. However, because their results were too qualitative and relative it tends to be hard to make absolute comparison and establish standard of prevention or adaptation ability. Accordingly, this study aimed at quantifying natural disaster vulnerability using emergy through recognizing disaster as the relations between order and disorder by system approach. As a result, ordering energy (4.66E+22 sej/yr) and ordered structure (1.98E+22 sej) of Busan in 2003 and disordering energy (7.80E+18 sej), disordered parts (4.55E+20 sej) and rebuilding energy (3.87E+20 sej) by typhoon Maemi were analysed. And then, this was compared with Hurricane Andrew in Dade County. Through this comparison, if the prevention ability of Busan increases, disordered parts can be reduced against the more powerful disordering energy. Also, prevention for additional damages by disaster is needed to practical rebuilding action. In conclusion, it was able to figure out the impact of disaster quantitatively by natural systems and urban systems showing as common measure. Based on this study and further research to make effective prevention for how much prevention ability should be increased will contribute to producing the scientific data for disaster management policy in future.

  • This paper introduces a new teehniquc for reducing the compulsory misses of software-managed TLBs by prefetching necessary TLB entries before being used. This technique is not inherently limited to specific applications. The key of this scheme is to perform the prefetch operations to update the TLB entries before first accesses so that TLB misses can be avoided. For the identifications of the prefctch pages, the new classification is introduced, which is based 0n the view of an object code execution. Then, the algorithms and the implementation technique arc described. Using a quantitative analysis, the proposed scheme is evaluated to prove that it is a useful technique for the perronnall~~ ~nhan~"ment of the S/W managed TLBs. in addition, it is discussed that reducing the miss rate by the prefeteh scheme reduces the total miss penalty and bus traffics in S/W-managed TLBs.

  • Risk assessment defines as the process of estimating both the probability that an event will occur and the probable magnitude of its adverse effects. Chemical or microbial risk assessment generally follows four basic steps, that is, hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response assessment, and risk characterization. Risk assessment provides an effective framework for determining the relative urgency of problems and the allocation of resources to reduce risks. Using the results of risk analyses, we can target prevention, reme-diation, or control effects towards areas, sources, or situations in which the greatest risk reductions can be achieved with resources available. Risk assessment is also used to explain chemical and microbial risks as well as ecosystem impacts. Moreover, this process, which allows the quantitation and comparison of diverse risks, lets risk managers utilize the maximum amount of complex information in the decision-making process. This information can also be used to weigh the cost and benefits of control options and to develop standards or treatment options.

  • Multiple thermal energy storage (TES) caverns can be used for storing thermal energy on a large scale and for a high-aspect-ratio heat storage design to provide good thermal performance. It may also be necessary to consider the use of multiple caverns with a reduced length when a single, long tunnel-shaped cavern is not suitable for connection to aboveground heat production and injection equipments. When using multiple TES caverns, the separation distance between the caverns is one of the significant factors that should be considered in the design of storage space, and the optimal separation distance should be determined based on a quantitative stability criterion. In this paper, we described a numerical approach for determining the optimal separation distance between multiple caverns for large-scale TES utilization. For reliable stability evaluation of multiple caverns, we employed a probabilistic method which can quantitatively take into account the uncertainty of input parameters by probability distributions, unlike conventional deterministic approaches. The present approach was applied to the design of a conceptual TES model to store hot water for district heating. The probabilistic stability results of this application demonstrated that the approach in our work can be effectively used as a decision-making tool to determine the optimal separation distance between multiple caverns. In addition, the probabilistic results were compared to those obtained through a deterministic analysis, and the comparison results suggested that care should taken in selecting the acceptable level of stability when using deterministic approaches.

  • In this study, we develop a sampling-based seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) quantification technique that can accurately consider a partially dependent condition of component seismic fragility information. Specifically, the SPRA quantification method is proposed by combining the advantages of two representative methodologies: EPRI seismic fragility and JAERI seismic fragility input-based quantification. The most important feature of the proposed method is that it performs a SPRA using a sampling technique by transforming the EPRI seismic fragility input into JAERI seismic fragility input. When the proposed sampling-based approach was applied to an example of simple system and to a SPRA problem of a nuclear power plant, it was observed that the proposed method yields approximately similar system seismic fragility and seismic risk results as those of the exact solution. Therefore, it is believed that the approach proposed in this study can be used as a useful tool for accurately assessing seismic risks, considering the partial seismic dependence among the components; the existing SPRA method cannot handle such partial dependencies.
