We present for one-dimensional model for elastoplastic bar with combined hardening in FPZ - fracture process zone and softening with embedded strong discontinuities. The simplified version of the model without FPZ is directly compared and validated against analytical solution of Bazant and Belytschko (1985). It is shown that deformation localizes in an area which is governed by the chosen element size and therefore causes mesh sensitivity and that the length of the strain-softening region tends to localize into a point, which also agrees with results obtained by stability analysis for static case. Strain increases in the softening domain with a simultaneous decrease of stress. The problem unloads elastically outside the strain-softening region. The more general case with FPZ leads to more interesting results that also account for induced strain heterogeneities.

This research develops two variance reduction methods for estimating the parameters of the experimental simulation model having multiple design points based on an approach focusing on reduction of the variances of the mean responses across multiple design points. The first method extends a combined approach of antithetic variates and control variates for a single design point to the multipopulation context with independent streams across the design points. The second method extends the same strategy in conjunction with the Schruben-Margolin method for improving the first method. We illustrate an example for implementing the second method. We expect these two approaches may improve the estimation of the parameters of interest compared with the control variates method.

We introduce a new method for lens design that combines an eyepiece with the finite model eye, to make a corrected version of the accommodation-dependent Navarro eye. The optical system that we designed, which includes a human eye, takes into account the aberration of the eye and increases the performance of the image in the retina. In the design results, for the optimized eyepiece combined with the corrected Navarro eye, visual acuity is 1.40. Compared with the existing method of eyepiece design using inverse ray tracing with the corrected Navarro eye, MTF value was recorded as 0.079 to 0.283 at 160 lp/mm and visual performance was improved.

Taxi-demand forecasting and hotspot prediction can be critical in reducing response times and designing a cost effective online taxi-booking model. Taxi demand in a region can be predicted by considering the past demand accumulated in that region over a span of time. However, other covariates-like neighborhood influence, sociodemographic parameters, and point-of-interest data-may also influence the spatiotemporal variation of demand. To study the effects of these covariates, in this paper, we propose three models that consider different covariates in order to select a set of independent variables. These models predict taxi demand in spatial units for a given temporal resolution using linear and ensemble regression. We eventually combine the characteristics (covariates) of each of these models to propose a robust forecasting framework which we call the combined covariates model (CCM). Experimental results show that the CCM performs better than the other models proposed in this paper.

The third-person side view game perspective of side-scrolling games makes playing such games a completely different gaming experience from other traditional games. Nowadays, many game elements are combined with each other, and horror and puzzle elements are often combined to appear in side-scrolling games, bringing players a unique gaming experience. In such games, players seem to be watching their own manipulation of characters. The performance is the same as a stage play, so how to let players better experience such a horror and puzzle-solving stage play through the design of the characters is a key point. However, it is often difficult to accurately classify only from game elements, so first of all, the author will explain the game division of the side scrolling horror puzzle game. After that, this article will analyze the character designs in the three works with high sales and good reputation on Steam, and then draw conclusions.

A time-domain numerical model is developed to examine the performance of a wave energy focusing structure in combined waves and a current. With the current assumed to be slow and the structure fully submerged, the wave-current interaction problem is reduced to a wave scattering problem in a uniform current. The diffraction of incident waves around a narrow berm is considered. The shape of the berm is defined by a parabola, imitating that of an optical reflector. The energy focus is achieved by reflecting the incident waves through a predetermined focal point. Through the numerical simulations, the numerical model is shown to be effective in modeling the wave-current interaction problem, and the current speed and direction are shown to affect significantly the location, amplitude and sharpness of the focus.

There has been continuous efforts to manage water resources for the required water quality criterion at river channel in Korea. However, we could obtain the partial improvement only for the point sources such as, waste waters from urban and factory site through the water quality management. Therefore, it is strongly needed that the best management practice throughout the river basin fur water quality management including non-point sources pollutant loads. This problem should be resolved by recognizing the non-point sources pollutant loads from the upstream river basin to the outlet of the basin depends on the landuse and soil type characteristics of the river basin using the computer simulation by a distributed model based on the detailed investigation and application of Geographic Information System (GIS). The purpose of this study is consisted of the three major distributions, which are the investigation of spread non-point sources pollutants throughout the river basin, development of the base maps to represent and interpret the input and outputs of the distributed simulation model, and prediction of non-point sources pollutant loads at the outlet of a up-stream river basin using Agricultural Non-Point Sources Model (AGNPS). For the validation purpose, the Seom-Jin River basin was selected with two flood events in 1998. The results of this application showed that the use of combined a distributed model and an application of GIS was very effective fur the best water resources and quality management practice throughout the river basin

GPS 상대측위기법에 있어 고정점으로 이용되는 기준점에 과대오차가 내재되어 있다면, GPS의 우수한 성능에도 불구하고 신설점에 미치는 오차의 영향은 다양한 형태의 오차로 전파 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신설점 선정에 기준점으로 이용될 삼각점들의 오차 분석을 위해 GPS관측을 2개의 세션으로 나누어 수행하고 기선해석과 망조정을 통해 TM 좌표를 구하고 다시 GPS관측이 이루어진 삼각망에 대해 각각의 기선을 EDM으로 관측하고 또한 현행성과를 수평거리로 환산하여 각각 거리를 비교 하였고 좌표분석은 EBM에 의해 관측된 기선을 최소제곱법의 관측방정식을 이용하기 위해 Visual Basic 6.0을 이용하여 좌표변환 프로그램을 개발하여 좌표를 산출하고 GPS 성과 및 현행삼각점 성과와 비교 분석하여 최적기준점을 선정하였다.

FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)는 IEEE 802.22와 같은 여러 무선표준에서 사용되는 OFDM 시스템의 주요 블록 중 하나이다. FFT의 전력소모 감소, 면적감소, 고속동작을 위해 새로운 FFT 아키텍처 개발, twiddle factor 곱셈을 위한 곱셈기의 수나 면적감소, 제어회로의 단순화 등에 초점을 둔 FFT 프로세서의 구현에 관한 연구가 지속적으로 진행되어왔다. FFT의 입력포인트 수 N이 증가함에 따라 $log_2N$ 개의 각 FFT 스테이지 구현에 사용되는 시프트레지스터(또는, 페모리)가 차지하는 비중이 전체 FFT회로의 70%이상이 되며 이러한 메모리들은 FFT의 처음 두 스테이지에 집중되어 두 스테이지의 메모리가 전체 메모리의 75%를 차지한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 송신부의 IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform)에서 요구되는 메모리 사이즈를 감소시키기 위해 입력변조신호, 파일럿(pilot)신호, 널(null) 신호의 mapping을 IFFT와 결합하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. Cognitive radio 시스템에 적용하기 위한 2048포인트 IFFT를 제안한 방법으로 설계하고 메모리가 차지하는 면적에서 기존의 방법과 비교하여 38.5%이상의 이득을 가짐을 보인다.

Objectives : We investigated the efficacy and safety of miniscalpel acupuncture (MA) treatment combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for chronic neck pain (CNP) in an assessor-blinded randomized controlled pilot trial to establish a basis for larger-scale randomized controlled studies on this subject. Methods : Participants (n=36) were recruited and randomly allocated to the MA group, NSAIDs and combined treatment group. The MA group received MA three times over three weeks. The NSAIDs group was administered orally with zaltoprofen 80mg t.i.d. over three weeks. The combined treatment group received MA and zaltoprofen in the same manner as MA and NSAIDs groups. The primary outcome was pain as assessed by a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the secondary outcomes were assessed using the Neck Disability index (NDI), EuroQol 5-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D), and Patients' Global Impression of Change scale (PGIC). Assessments were made at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3 (primary end point) during treatment and at week 7 (4 weeks after the end of treatment). Results : 35 participants completed the study. No serious adverse event occurred and blood test results were within normal limits. The improvement of VAS and NDI was significantly greater in combined and MA group than that in NSAIDs group (p<0.017). The combined group showed better outcomes in EQ-5D at visit 2 and 5, in PGIC at visit 4 than the NSAIDs group (p<0.017). No significant differences were found between combined and MA group. Conclusions : Our results suggest that both combined and MA group can be more effective in improving pain control than NSAIDs group. A large-scale clinical study is warranted to further clarify these findings.
