The present Common Structural Rules for double hull oil tanker is not included the residual strength, which is one of the functional requirements in design part of Goal-based new ship construction standards (GBS). The GBS will be enforced after July 1, 2016. The requirement related residual strength has the goal to build safe ship even if she has the specified damages due to marine accidents including collision and grounding. In order to assess the residual strength based on risk for structural damages according to GBS, tons of nonlinear FE analysis work taking into account various types of damage will be needed. The Smith's method, a kind of simplified method for the strength analysis is very useful for this purpose. In this paper, the residual strength assessments based on ultimate strength using Smith's method were carried out. The objected ship is VLCC with stranding damage in bottom structures. Also, the results were compared with that of nonlinear FE analysis using three cargo hold model.

The identification of behavioral errors by seafarers that have caused marine accidents may provide important clues for the reduction or prevention of marine accidents. The purpose of this study is to identify the behavioral errors of seafarers by the type of marine accident using the theory of Skill-, Rule-, and Knowledge-Based Behavior (SRKBB). In order to identify behavioral errors, we collected the information related to 1,744 cases of maritime accidents over a 9 year period (2008 ~ 2016). The behavior errors of the seafarers who caused the marine accidents were classified as SBBE (Skill-Based Behavioral Error), RBBE (Rule-Based Behavioral Error), and KBBE (Knowledge-Based Behavioral Error). After analyzing the frequency of behavioral errors according to the type of marine accident, results showed SBBE had the highest frequency of errors, followed by RBBE. Additionally, the frequency of occurrence of accidents such as stranding, overturning, and sinking was high in KBBE. This study showed it is possible to identify behavioral errors of seafarers according to the type of marine accidents.

This study was conducted for raising the considering the dynamical context of mobile phone use environment in the mobile-phone research. For this I identified the characteristic of the mobile phone use. The first characteristic is that the mobile phone is the context sensitive device. Also, it reflects the user's life pattern because it is the very personal device. I defined the context of mobile phone use with the basis on this identification of those characteristics. I referenced the definition, 'situational context', defining the mobile phone use context. Also, I set up the research scope within the user task that is influential from the situational context, I named this kind of task as the 'contextual task'. I developed the Contextual Task Model in this study. I named the model as the 'ESR Model'. The reason that I developed this contextual task model is that this model can help novice designers and designers unfamiliar with an application domain understand the user behavior and user centered design. And also this model can be effective to communicate each other, I identified the user's contextual tasks three kinds of model. First, the Extend Model includes user tasks that related to extending from user physical working space to the virtual level. Second model is Synchronize Model, which includes issues that lesson the blocking when use several functions at a time or sequentially. Third model is Replace Model, which is come from the characteristic of user life pattern to use the mobile phone. Finally, I proposed an application of this model, CIQ. Through the process to make CIQ I proved the effectiveness of this ESR Model.

It is essential to protect the national space assets and space environment safely as a space development country from the continuously increasing space debris. And Active Debris Removal(ADR) is the most active way to solve this problem. In this paper, we studied the Artificial Neural Network(ANN) for a stable recognition model of vision-based space debris tracking system. We obtained the simulated image of the space environment by the KARICAT which is the ground-based space debris clearing satellite testbed developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, and created the vector which encodes structure and color-based features of each object after image segmentation by depth discontinuity. The Feature Vector consists of 3D surface area, principle vector of point cloud, 2D shape and color information. We designed artificial neural network model based on the separated Feature Vector. In order to improve the performance of the artificial neural network, the model is divided according to the categories of the input feature vectors, and the ensemble technique is applied to each model. As a result, we confirmed the performance improvement of recognition model by ensemble technique.

Power lines are one of the main obstacles causing an aircraft crash and thus their realtime detection is significantly important during flight. To avoid such flight obstacles, the use of LIDAR has been recently increasing thanks to its advantages that it is less sensitive to weather conditions and can operate in day and night. In this study, we suggest a fast method to detect power lines from LIDAR data for flight obstacle avoidance. The proposed method first extracts non-ground points by eliminating the points reflected from ground surfaces using a filtering process. Second, we calculate the eigenvalues for the covariance matrix from the coordinates of the generated non-ground points and obtain the ratio of eigenvalues. Based on the ratio of eigenvalues, we can classify the points on a linear structure. Finally, among them, we select the points forming horizontally long straight as power-line points. To verify the algorithm, we used both real and simulated data as the input data. From the experimental results, it is shown that the average detection rate and time are 80% and 0.2 second, respectively. If we would improve the method based on the experiment results from the various flight scenario, it will be effectively utilized for a flight obstacle avoidance system.

The IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function(DCF) protocol provides a contention-based distribution channel access mechanism for stations to share the wireless medium. However, the performance of the DCF drops dramatically in terms of throughput, delay and delay jitter as the number of active stations becomes large. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective scheme, called DCF/VG(Distributed Coordination Function with Virtual Group), for improving the performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF mechanism. In this scheme, each station independently decides the virtual group cycle using the information provided by the carrier sensing mechanism. The virtual group cycle consists of one or more virtual groups and a virtual group includes an idle period and a busy period. Each station operates in only one out of several virtual groups of the virtual group cycle and does not operate in the others. In other words, each station decreases its backoff counter and tries to transmit a packet only in its virtual group like the IEEE 802.11 DCF. Performance of the proposed scheme is investigated by numerical analysis and simulation. Numerical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is very effective and has high throughput and low delay and jitter under a wide range of contention level.

Quarrying industry is typical industry that troubled between the market and government regulations in the forestry. Especially, it is difficult to consider aspects of economics and environment, landscape, disaster at the same time. Therefore, Quarrying industry need revised statutes according to regulatory reform and mitigation. This study conducted to provide basic data for regulatory reform and mitigation in quarrying industry. We surveyed 22 article of mountainous districts management act and lower statutes to employers and business interests on quarry 55 places in the Republic of Korea. As a result, fulfillment status of environmental damage reduction and disaster prevention were satisfactory. But fulfillment status of landscape damage reduction were not applicable. This result is due to the social mood that emphasizes the forest landscape. But there is need to improve the efficiency of grit chamber through present standard on effluent(water pollution prevention). In conclusion, policies should be established for realistic regulation and developed industry to quarrying industry.

As the Moon's scientific, technological, and economic value has increased, major space agencies around the world are leading lunar exploration projects by establishing a road map to develop lunar resources and to construct a lunar base. In addition, as the lunar base construction requires huge amounts of resources from the Earth, lunar in-situ construction technology is being developed to produce construction materials from local lunar resources. On the other hand, the characteristics of lunar topography and resources vary spatially due to the crustal and volcanic activities inside the Moon as well as the solar wind and meteorites from outside the Moon. Therefore, in this paper, the geospatial analysis of lunar resource distribution was conducted to suggest regional consideration factors to apply the lunar in situ construction technologies. In addition, the lunar topographic condition to select construction sites was suggested to ensure the safe landing of a lunar lander and the easy maneuvering of a rover. The lunar topographic and resource information mainly from lunar orbiters were limited to the lunar surface with a low spatial resolution. Rover-based lunar exploration in the near future is expected to provide valuable information to develop lunar in situ construction technology and select candidate sites for lunar base construction.

Purpose: In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, preservation of the remnant original tissue might promote graft healing and be helpful in proprioception. But this procedure is difficult and causes the notch impingement. So we introduce a surgical technique that makes a transtibial femoral tunnel at 10 or 2 o'clock position with preservation of remnant tissue. Surgical approach: We tried to preserve the remnant tissue and synovium as much as possible, especially those of tibial attachment and extending to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), so as to have some tension and to prevent notch impingement. We set the tibial drill guide at 40~45 degrees and the intra-articular guide tip was 1 mm anterior and medial to the conventional site. The starting point of tibial guide pin was proximal to the pes anserinus and anterior to the medial collateral ligament. When the reamer approached the cortical bone of the tibial articular surface, the reamer must be advanced very carefully to minimize injury to the remnant tissue. The tibial and femoral tunnel at 10 or 2 o'clock position were made with the reamer, the diameter of which was same with that of the graft. Conclusion: We report a remnant preserving technique in ACL reconstruction that makes a transtibial femoral tunnel at 10 or 2 o'clock position

투명 전도성 산화물(transparent conductive oxide: TCO) 박막은 높은 투과율과 낮은 비저항 덕분에 LCD (liquid crystal display), PDP (plasma display panel), OLED (organic light emitting display) 등 평판 디스플레이에 널리 사용되고 있다. 현재 양산되고 있는 ITO (indium tin oxide)는 90% 이상의 높은 투과율과 우수한 전도성으로 인해 TCO 박막 가운데서 디스플레이 산업에서 가장 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그런데, ITO의 인듐산화물에 의한 간질성 폐렴(interstitial pneumonia)의 유발 위험이 있다든가, 인듐의 매장량이 적어 원자재 가격이 비싼 단점도 가지고 있다. 이에 최근 ITO를 대체할 수 있는 TCO물질로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는데, 특히 AZO (aluminum-doped zinc oxide)는 그 중 대표적인 대체물질로서 독성이 없고 가격도 저렴하여 많은 관심이 증폭되고 있다. 현재 AZO는 sol-gel 방법이나 CVD (chemical vapor deposition) 또는 스퍼터링 방법 등으로 증착되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 두 개의 이종타겟(hetero target)을 장착한 대향 타겟 스퍼터링(facing target sputtering: FTS) 장치를 사용하여 AZO 박막을 제작한다. 기존의 여러 증착법과 달리, FTS 장치는 두 타겟 사이에 형성되는 플라즈마 내의 ${\gamma}$-전자를 구속하게 되며, 낮은 가스 압력에서 고밀도 플라즈마가 생성되어 빠른 증착 속도와 안정적인 방전을 유지한 상태에서 박막을 증착할 수가 있다. 또한 기판과 플라즈마가 이격되어 있어 높은 에너지를 갖는 입자들의 기판 충돌을 억제할 수 있는 장점들을 갖는다. 이종 타겟인 ZnO와 Al2O3를 사용하고 각 타겟에 인가되는 파워 변화를 통해 AZO 박막 내 Al2O3의 성분비를 조절하였다. ZnO 타겟의 증착 파워를 100 W로 고정할 경우, Al2O3 타겟의 증착 파워가 (50~90) W으로 실험을 하였으며, Al2O3 타겟의 증착 파워가 70 W일 때 AZO 박막의 Al2O3 성분비는 2.02 wt.%이며 박막의 비저항 값은 $5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$로 최소값을 보였다. 이러한 비저항의 변화는 파워에 따른 AZO 박막의 캐리어 이동도(Hall mobility)와 캐리어의 농도(Carrier Concentration)의 변화와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 보여주며, 특히 AZO 박막의 캐리어 농도와 캐리어 이동도는 AZO 박막을 형성하고 있는 결정립의 크기에 의존하는 것이 X-선 회절 패턴과 SEM으로부터 확인되었다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 두 개의 이종 타겟(hetero target) Al2O3와 ZnO를 장착하고 각각의 파워를 변화시켜 도핑 량을 조절할 수는 대향 타겟 스퍼터링(FTS: facing-target sputtering) 방법을 이용하여 제작된 AZO 박막에 대해 전기적, 광학적 및 구조적 특성을 분석하고 ITO의 대체물로서의 가능성을 검토하고자 한다.
