Rapid urbanization and industrialization have caused increased demand for underground structures such as cable, and other utility tunnels. Recently, it has become very difficult to construct new underground structures in downtown areas because of civil complaints, and engineering problems related to insufficient information about existing underground structures, cable tunnels in particular. This lack of information about the location and direction-of-travel of cable tunnels is causing many problems. To solve these problems, this study was focused on the use of geophysical exploration of the ground in a way that is theoretically, different from previous electrical resistivity surveys. An electric field analysis was performed on the ground with cable tunnels using Gauss' law and the Laplace equation. The electrical resistivity equation, which is a function of the cable tunnel direction, the cable tunnel location, and the electrical conductivity of the cable tunnel, can be obtained through electrical field analysis. A field test was performed for the verification of this theoretical approach. A field test results provided meaningful data.

A multiple-trait stochastic computer simulation model was constructed to predict the breeding schemes and selection methods on Hanwoo(Korean cattle). The model could be used four kinds of selection criteria (random, phenotype and true or estimated breeding values). At the test run in various population size for 20 years, all estimated parameters of the each simulated populations were resulted similar to input parameters. The deviations between input and output values of parameter in the large population were smaller than in the small population. The simulated results obtained from ten small populations consisted with one sire and ten dams in each population for 500 years were as follows; Inbreeding coefficients of population were similar to theoretical estimating function. Mean values of each traits selected were randomly drifted by generation, but they were converged into a value when inbreeding coefficients came close to one. Additive genetic variances within each population were reduced by generation, and they were converged into zero when inbreeding coefficients came close to one. These results indicated that the simulated populations hold to statistical properties of input parameters.

Optimization problems are formulated to calculate optimal impulses for deflecting Earth-Crossing Objects using a Nonlinear Programming. This formulation allows us to analyze the velocity changes in normal direction to the celestial body's orbital plane, which is neglected in many previous studies. The constrained optimization in the three-dimensional space is based on a patched conic method including the Earth's gravitational effects, and yields impulsive ${\Delta}V$ to deflect the target's orbit. The optimal solution is dependent on relative positions and velocities between the Earth and the Earth-crossing objects, and can be represented by optimal magnitude and angle of ${\Delta}V $ as a functions of a impulse time. The perpendicular component of ${\Delta}V $ to the orbit plane can sometimes play un-negligible role as the impulse time approaches the impact time. The optimal ${\Delta}V $ is increased when the original orbit of Earth-crossing object is more similar to the Earth's orbit, and is also exponentially increased as the impulse time reaches to the impact time. The analyses performed in present paper can be used to the deflection missions in the future.

In this paper, we present a novel fully distributed topology control protocol that can construct the multiple-ring topology of Minimal Connected Dominating Set (MCDS) as the transport backbone for mobile ad hoc networks. It makes a topology from the minimal nodes that are chosen from all the nodes, and the constructed topology is comprised of the minimal physical links while preserving connectivity. This topology reduces the interference. The all nodes work as the nodes of the distributed parallel Boltzmann machine, of which the objective function is consisted of two Boltzmann factors: the link degree and the connection domination degree. To define these Boltzmann factors, we extend the Connected Dominating Set into a fuzzy set, and also define the fuzzy set of nodes by which the multiple-ring topology can be constructed. To construct the transport backbone of the mobile ad hoc network, the proposed protocol chooses the nodes that are the strong members of these two fuzzy sets as the clusterheads. We also ran simulations to provide the quantitative comparison against the related works in terms of the packet loss rate and the energy consumption rate. As a result, we show that the network that is constructed by the proposed protocol has far better than the other ones with respect to the packet loss rate and the energy consumption rate.

In this paper, we present an efficient way of implementing OpenGL ES 1.1 standard for the environments with hardware-supported OpenGL API, such as desktop PCs. Although OpenGL ES was started from the existing OpenGL features, it becomes a new three-dimensional graphics library customized for embedded systems through introducing fixed-point arithmetic operations, buffer management with fixed-point data type supports, completely new texture mapping functionalities and others. Currently, it is the official three dimensional graphics library for Google Android, Apple iPhone, PlayStation3, etc. In this paper, we achieved improvements on the arithmetic operations for the fixed-point number representation, which is the most characteristic data type for OpenGL ES. For the conversion of fixed-point data types to the floating-point number representations for the underlying OpenGL, we show the way of efficient conversion processes even with satisfying OpenGL ES standard requirements. We also introduced a simple memory management scheme to mange the converted data for the buffer containing fixed-point numbers. In the case of texture processing, the requirements in both standards are quite different and thus we used completely new software-implementations. Our final implementation result of OpenGL ES library provides all of over than 200 functions in OpenGL ES 1.1 standard and completely passed its conformance test, to show its compliance with the standard. From the efficiency viewpoint, we measured its execution times for several OpenGL ES-specific application programs and achieved at most 33.147 times improvements, to become the fastest one among the OpenGL ES implementations in the same category.

In this paper, we present a MapReduce-based mobility pattern mining system which can predict efficiently the next place of mobile users. It learns the mobility pattern model of each user, represented by Hidden Markov Models(HMM), from a large-scale trajectory dataset, and then predicts the next place for the user to visit by applying the learned models to the current trajectory. Our system consists of two parts: the back-end part, in which the mobility pattern models are learned for individual users, and the front-end part, where the next place for a certain user to visit is predicted based on the mobility pattern models. While the back-end part comprises of three distinct MapReduce modules for POI extraction, trajectory transformation, and mobility pattern model learning, the front-end part has two different modules for candidate route generation and next place prediction. Map and reduce functions of each module in our system were designed to utilize the underlying Hadoop infrastructure enough to maximize the parallel processing. We performed experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed system by using a large-scale open benchmark dataset, GeoLife, and then could make sure of high performance of our system as results of the experiments.

A tilting train, which was developed to run the curve section without reducing the speed and compromising the riding quality, can improve the speed so as to reduce the travel time, compared to the existing trains. Then the force generated by the train operation to the track is in proportion to train operation speed, which means the track shall bear the increased force as much as the increase in train operation speed. Particularly, wheel load and lateral wheel load generated by train operation and distributed to the rail tend to cause the track to suffer the strain and furthermore the severe disaster such as derailment. To deal with such problem and ensure the train will run safety and stably, the tolerance in wheel load change, lateral wheel load and derailment coefficient was determined for quantitative evaluation of the train operation stability. In this study, derailment coefficient of inner and outer rail at existing curve section of tilting train was determined to evaluate the curve radius, possibility of acceleration and the need of rail improvement, which was then compared with the existing traditional train and high speed train. Conducting the quantitative evaluation of dynamic wheel load and lateral wheel load of each train, which was based on field survey, derailment coefficient and static & dynamic wheel load change, which serve the evaluation criteria of train operation stability, were determined for comparison with the standards, thereby analyzing the stability of the tilting train.

Reliability evaluations of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) pipe with respect of thermal exposure time have been investigated in accordance with RS M 0042, which is a reliability standard for polymer pipe. As the thermal exposure time is prolonged, a progressive increase, until 250 days, in tensile strength and a slight increase in hardness are observed, while a proportional decrease in elongation at break is showed. These results can be explained by the increase of crystallinity, followed by the increase of crosslinking density, chain scission and the decrease in chain mobility, due to thermal oxidation as the exposure time increases. Long term hydrostatic pressure test result implies the existence of transition point from ductile to brittle fracture. Oxidation induction time (OIT) test is employed to monitor the thermo-oxidative degradation of LLDPE pipe. This result shows that after the exposure time is 250 days, the depletion of antioxidants added in LLDPE pipe occurs. An empirical equation as function of exposure time, under $100^{\circ}C$ thermal-degradation condition, is proposed to assess the remaining amount of antioxidants owing to thermo-oxidative degradation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show the increase of carbonyl (-C=O) and hydroxyl (O-H) function groups on the surface of thermally exposed LLDPE pipe. This result suggests that the hydrocarbon groups locally undergo the oxidation on the LLDPE surface due to thermal-degradation.

지형은 강우에 의한 유역 유출응답을 결정하는 중요한 인자이다. 따라서 유역의 지형형태학적 인자를 수문해석에 이용하기 위한 시도는 긴 역사를 갖는다(Rodriguez-Itube and Valdes, 1979). 지형을 구성하는 대표적인 요소로 하천망과 사면을 들 수 있다. 당연히 이들이 어떤 방식으로 결합되는지에 따라 유출특성의 차이가 발생하게 된다(Zevenbergen and Thorne, 1987; Brierley and Fryirs, 2005). 이에 본 연구에서는 하천유역에서 사면과 하천망의 방향적 특성을 정량화하고, 그 둘 사이의 관계를 살펴보고자 한다. 만일 사면의 방향성과 하천의 방향성이 일정한 관계를 가지고 정량화될 수 있다면, 이러한 특성은 보다 간단히 강우-유출 모형에 고려될 수 있을 것이다. 일례로 확률밀도함수 형태로 제시되는 사면과 하천 방향성을 GIUH 이론에 근거하여 재해석할 수 있다. 궁극적으로는 호우 방향성에 의한 유출응답의 차이를 파악할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 내성천 유역을 대상으로 하였으며, 대상유역의 수치지형도를 수집하여 DEM을 구축하였다. 하천망 추출을 위해 ArcGIS의 Hydro Tool을 이용하였다. 이들 하천망의 방향성은 von Mises 분포에 적용하여 정량화하였으며, 이를 통해 하천유역에서 하천망의 방향적 특성을 살펴보았다. 추가로 하천망과 사면의 방향적 구조를 확인함으로써 이들 특성이 강우-유출 모형에 유연하게 고려될 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 본 연구에서 고려한 von Mises 분포는 하천망의 방향적 특성을 적절히 표현할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 방위 기준으로 정리한 하천망의 방향성은 하나의 mode 특성이 뚜렷하고, 하천 합류점 하천을 기준으로 정리할 경우에는 두 개의 mode 특성이 뚜렷해짐을 알 수 있었다. (2) 하천망의 방향성은 사면의 방향성과 뚜렷한 관계를 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하천망과 사면의 방향적 결합 구조는 유역의 특성을 보다 현실적으로 묘사할 수 있고, 이들 관계를 가정하고 하천망의 방향성이 정량화된다면, 강우-유출 모형에 이들 특성이 쉽게 반영될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. (3) 하천망의 방향성은 고차 하천일수록 뚜렷한 mode 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 고차 하천일수록 그 방향성이 한반도의 주구조선과 잘 일치하는 것으로 기존 연구성과와도 일치하는 것이다. (4) 하천망의 주방향은 하천연장에 대한 영향을 크게 받음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 대상 하천유역의 유역응답에서 하천유출이 사면유출보다 상대적으로 큰 영향력을 갖기 때문이다. 강우-유출 모형에 하천망 방향성을 고려하기 위해서도 하천연장을 고려하여 이들 방향성을 정량화하는 것이 호우 방향에 보다 뚜렷한 유출반응 특성을 나타낼 것으로 보인다. (5) 본 연구에서 고려한 하천망의 방향성 정량화 방안을 이용할 경우 이들 결과는 유출모형에 고려될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 유출응답 특성을 정량적으로 파악하는데 이용될 수 있다. 방위 기준으로 정리한 하천망 방향성은 실제 유역에 대한 유출모형에 적용이 가능하며, 하천 합류점을 기준으로 정리한 결과는 호우의 방향성에 대한 유출응답의 반응을 정량적으로 살펴보는데 이용될 수 있다.

In general, due to the interactions among subsystems, it is difficult to design an decentralized controller for nonlinear interconnected systems. In this study, the model of nonlinear interconnected systems is studied via decentralized fuzzy control method with time delay and polytopic uncertainty. First, the nonlinear interconnected system is represented by an equivalent Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy model. And the represented model can be rewritten as Parameterized Linear Matrix Inequalities(PLMIs), that is, LMIs whose coefficients are functions of a parameter confined to a compact set. We show that the resulting fuzzy controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed-loop system in spite of controller gain variations within a resulted polytopic region by example and simulations.
