Numbers fitting-curve equations have been proposed to predict soil-water retention curve (SWRC) whose parameters have no definitude physical meaning. And these methods with precondition of measuring SWRC data is time-consuming. A simplified directly method to estimate SWRC without parameters obtained by fitting-curve is proposed. Firstly, the total SWRC can be discretized into linear segments respectively. Every segment can be represented by linear formulation and every turning point can be determined by the pore-size distribution (PSD) of Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) tests. The pore diameters governing the air-entry condition (AEC) and residual condition (RC) can be determined by the PSDs of MIP test. The PSD changes significantly during drying in SWR test, so the determination of AEC and RC should use the PSD under corresponding suction conditions. Every parameter in proposed equations can be determined directly by PSD without curve-fitting procedure and has definitude physical meaning. The proposed equations give a good estimation of both unimodal and bimodal SWRCs.

적응 필터를 이용한 스테레오 음향 반향 제거기는 스테레오 신호 사이의 상호상관 (cross-correlation)이 매우 크기 때문에 수신측 회의실의 실제 반향경로를 추정하는 적응필터 계수의 수렴이 늦어지거나 상당히 오조정 된다. 본 논문에서는 계산량의 큰 증가없이 스테레오 반향제거기의 성능을 향상시키는 새로운 전처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 전처리기는 그람-슈미트 (Gram-Schmidt) 직교원리와 비선형 필터를 이용하여 상호상관을 감소시킨다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에서 제안한 전처리 알고리즘의 성능이 기존의 방법에 비해 우수함을 보인다. 전송실의 경로가 변하는 경우에도 제안하는 전처리기를 사용한 스테레오 반향제거 기는 성능의 저하가 거의 없었다.

Recent AEC industry, is introducing BIM based design process which mainly focuses on collaboration and integration. Since BIM has characteristic of utilizing several design libraries in various fields across the AEC industry, obtaining BIM libraries are essential for introducing and applying the BIM successfully. Thus, creating BIM libraries and guidelines for various fields are needed. BIM libraries can be categorized into disciplines such as architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical industries. Especially, companies in mechanical industry possesses design data for creating BIM library. Due to the fact, we standardized the property information for BIM libraries. And for BIM library production, we have developed a program which uses neutral format to convert 3D MCAD data designed by $NX^{TM}$ into $Revit^{TM}$ Family. Finally, we developed a program that merges property information to Revit Family file.

This research aims to evaluate the current state of technology of enterprises in Vietnam in comparison with several countries in the AEC economic community, thereby to propose several recommendations to Vietnamese enterprises in order able to promote technology innovation activities, create competitiveness with enterprises in the region. Qualitative research methods are used through statistics and comparative descriptions from data collected from various sources: WEF, World Bank, CIEM, General Statistic Office. The study results show that Vietnamese enterprises still have many limitations in technology, originated from their small business scale (capital and labor), the current research capacity is still low, the funding for this activity is not high and the accessibility of the capital is still difficult. According to the Global Competitiveness Index, Vietnam's science and technology indexes are low compared to other AEC-developed countries including the availability of the latest technology; the acquisition of technology at the enterprise level; the capacity of improvement; quality of scientific research organizations..., which shall be a major barrier for Vietnamese enterprises to have to overcome to be able to create the competitiveness when entering the global market. From then on, the authors proposed solutions for two subjects, enterprises and government, to help Vietnamese enterprises to overcome this barrier.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is yet to formulate a holistic strategy to realign the evolving technological infrastructures with organisational ambitions and adaptive knowledge of the workforce. This study attempts to create an understanding of the underlying processes adopted by technology-enhanced construction organisations to disseminate and maintain knowledge within the workforce in order to keep pace with the evolving construction technologies. The study adopted expansive learning and adaptive expertise constructs to help better explain workplace learning support structures for organisational effectiveness in a turbulent situation. The two theories were tailored to empirically evaluate three case study construction organisations that have embarked on technology-enabled organisational changes. The study concluded on the creation of a facilitating workplace learning environment to enable the workforce to adapt into and resolve any inherent contradictions and cognitive ambiguities of the changing organisational conditions. This could ensure that novel and conflicting features of the emerging technologies can be adapted across the myriad multi-functional project activities in order to expand the frontiers of the technological capabilities to address the eminent issues confronting the AEC sector.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of particle size of sediment on adsorption of fluoride. Particle size is classified as sand, silt and clay. Adsorption equilibrium time, adsorption isotherms and the effect of pH were investigated through batch tests. The $pH_{pzc}$ of sand, silt, clay was respectively 6, 8, 4.5 and AEC (anion exchange capacity) was highest in silt, respectively 0.0095, 0.0224, $0.014meq\;g^{-1}$. Adsorption of fluoride on the sediment was in equilibrium within 300 minutes from all particle size. The experimental data of isotherms at various pH were well explained by Freundlich equation. As the experimental results of the effect of pH, the adsorption efficiency of sand and silt were reduced after the $pH_{pzc}$. However, the adsorption efficiency of clay was maintained after the $pH_{pzc}$, and decreased rapidly higher than pH 12.

Nowadays, diseases related with breast are increasing rapidly and because of this high quality of resolution images is required to get clear detail specially for early detection and diagnosis. It has a tendency to use digital equipments than analog one in clinic. In this experiment, DR, CR, and Film are used for the resolution applied by AEC. Resolution phantom in DR was $7LP{\cdot}mm^{-1}$ in both verticality and horizontality. In CR, however, it was $6LP{\cdot}mm^{-1}$ in both which was lower this standard. The resolution stayed in range of standard in Film but it showed differences between $11{\sim}14LP{\cdot}mm^{-1}$ Overall, the difference of resolution was displayed Film, DR and CR, in order, which means the study is needed for more high quality of digital images.

Since Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing(MEP) routing is a repetitive and experience-centered process that requires considerable time and human resources, if automated, design errors can be prevented and the previously required time and human resources can be reduced. Although research on automatic routing has been conducted in many industries, the MEP routing in AEC projects has yet to be identified due to the complexity of system configuration, distributed expertise, and various constraints. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the target subjects for MEP routing automation and the constraints of each subject. The MEP design checklist provided by a CM company and existing literature review were conducted, and target subjects and constraints were identified through process observation and in-depth expert interviews for five days by visiting a MEP design company. The target subjects were largely divided into six categories: air conditioning plumbing, air conditioning duct, restroom sanitary plumbing, heating plumbing, and diagram. The findings from interviews show that work reduction and error reduction has the greatest effect on air conditioning plumbing while the level of difficulty is the highest in air conditioning duct and restroom sanitary plumbing. Major constraints for each subject include preventing cold drafts on air conditioning pipes, deviation in ventilation volume in air conditioning ducts, routing order on restroom sanitary plumbing, and separation distance from the wall on heating plumbing. In this way, subjects and constraints identified in this study can be used for MEP automatic routing.

최근 영상 의학 분야의 발전으로 인한 보편화와 일본의 후쿠시마 원전사태가 일어나면서 방사선 노출에 대한 대중들의 관심이 높아지게 되었다. 이러한 방사선 피폭에 대한 대중들의 관심으로 현재 거의 대부분의 PET/CT검사에서 사용되고 있는 AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) 시스템은 환자의 피폭선량 감소를 위해 피사체의 두께에 따라 최적의 관전류를 조사한다. 또한, 서울아산병원에서는 전신 PET/CT 검사 시선속 경화 인공물(Beam hardening artifact)의 발생을 줄이기 위해 환자의 팔을 머리 위로 올리고 검사를 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전신 PET/CT검사 시 환자의 팔 위치에 따라 AEC 시스템을 적용한 CT 유효선량의 차이를 비교하고자 한다. 2008년 12월부터 2011년 7월까지 서울아산병원 핵의학과를 내원하여 동일 장비에서 팔을 올렸을 경우와 팔을 내렸을 경우의 전신 18F-FDG PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자 45명을 연구의 대상으로 하였고, 실험 장비는 Biograph Truepoint 40 (Bio 40), Biograph Sensation 16 (Bio 16), Discovery STe 8 (DSTe 8)을 사용하였다. 각 장비당 15명의 동일 환자를 대상으로, 팔을 올리고 검사하였을 경우와 팔을 내리고 검사하였을 경우의 CT 유효선량을 산출하여 비교 분석하였다. CT 유효선량의 측정 방법은 ImPACT v1.0 프로그램을 사용하였다. 이 연구를 통해 팔을 올리고 검사한 경우에 팔을 내리고 검사한 경우보다 총 15.2%의 환자 유효선량이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전신 PET/CT 검사 시 환자의 팔을 올린 자세는 선속 경화 인공물 발생을 줄이고, 영상의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
