본 연구의 목적은 옥외공간의 표면재료 구성에 따라 열쾌적성에 작용하는 인체 에너지수지를 산정하고, 수목차양이 건물에너지 절약에 기여하는 효과를 분석하여 도시녹지계획의 바람직한 전략을 제시하는 것이다. 옥외공간의 대표적 구성재료 유형을 반영하여, 수목차양이 부재하는 콘크리트 포장공간과 잔디공간, 수목차양의 마사토 포장공간 등 3개 공간유형별 휴식활동의 인체 에너지수지를 산정하였다. 이들 공간유형별 에너지수지 차이에 기여한 결정변수는 차양 여부와 지표면 알베도 및 온도이었다. 차양이 부재하는 콘크리트 포장공간과 잔디공간의 인체 에너지수지는 각각 $284W/m^2$, $226W/m^2$로서, 열쾌적성 측면에서 상당히 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 옥외 휴식공간은 증발산이 가능한 차양교목 및 자연재 바닥면으로 구성함이 바람직하다. 수목차양에 의한 건물에너지 절약은 남부지방 대구시를 사례로 컴퓨터 모델링 프로그램을 활용하여 계량화하고, 중부지방 춘천시의 기존연구와 비교하였다. 건물 서향에 식재한 차양수목이 연간 냉난방에너지 절약 상 가장 효과적이었다. 반면, 남향의 차양수목은 중부 및 남부지방 모두 냉방에너지 절약효과가 낮고 난방에너지 소비를 가중시키므로 그 식재를 회피해야 한다. 서향과 동향의 대형 차양수목은 건물유형 및 지방에 따라 냉방에너지를 1~2%/주 절약하였다. 저자의 기존연구와 이들 연구결과를 바탕으로, 옥외공간의 열쾌적성 증진과 옥내공간의 에너지절약을 위한 도시녹지계획의 지표를 포함한 전략을 제시하였다. 본 지표 및 전략은 공간구성 재료에 따른 열쾌적성, 녹지의 차양, 증발산 및 풍속감소에 의한 건물에너지 절약, 기온저감을 위한 녹지의 면적과 체적 등을 포함하며, 아울러 제시한 전략의 실효성을 감안하여 녹지분야 주요 법제에의 적용안을 모색하였다.

In this paper, we suggest tree-structure-aware GP (Genetic Programming) operators that heed tree distributions in structure space and their possible structural difficulties. The main idea of the proposed GP operators is to place the generated offspring of crossover and/or mutation in a specified region of tree structure space insofar as possible by biasing the tree structures of the altered subtrees, taking into account the observation that most solutions are found in that region. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, experiments on the binomial-3 regression, multiplexor and even parity problems are performed. The results show that the results using the proposed tree-structure-aware operators are superior to the results of standard GP for all three test problems in both success rate and number of evaluations.

Self-organization of distributed wireless sensor nodes is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), since each sensor node has limited energy, bandwidth, and scalability. These issues prevent sensor nodes from actively collaborating with the other types of sensor nodes deployed in a typical heterogeneous and somewhat hostile environment. The automated self-organization of a WSN becomes more challenging as the number of sensor nodes increases in the network. In this paper, we propose a dynamic self-organized architecture that combines tree topology with a drawn-grid algorithm to automate the self-organization process for WSNs. In order to make our proposed architecture scalable, we assume that all participating active sensor nodes are unaware of their primary locations. In particular, this paper presents two algorithms called active-tree and drawn-grid. The proposed active-tree algorithm uses a tree topology to assign node IDs and define different roles to each participating sensor node. On the other hand, the drawn-grid algorithm divides the sensor nodes into cells with respect to the radio coverage area and the specific roles assigned by the active-tree algorithm. Thus, both proposed algorithms collaborate with each other to automate the self-organizing process for WSNs. The numerical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed dynamic architecture performs much better than a static architecture in terms of the self-organization of wireless sensor nodes and energy consumption.

Global warming and climate change are increasing the intensity of typhoons and hurricanes and thus increasing the risk effects of typhoon and hurricane hazards on nuclear power plants (NPPs). To reflect these changes, a new NPP should be designed to endure design-basis hurricane wind speeds corresponding to an exceedance frequency of $10^{-7}/yr$. However, the short typhoon and hurricane observation records and uncertainties included in the inputs for an estimation cause significant uncertainty in the estimated wind speeds for return periods of longer than 100,000 years. A logic-tree framework is introduced to handle the epistemic uncertainty when estimating wind speeds. Three key parameters of a typhoon wind field model, i.e., the central pressure difference, pressure profile parameter, and radius to maximum wind, are used for constructing logic tree branches. The wind speeds of the simulated typhoons and the probable maximum wind speeds are estimated using Monte Carlo simulations, and wind hazard curves are derived as a function of the annual exceedance probability or return period. A logic tree decreases the epistemic uncertainty included in the wind intensity models and provides reasonably acceptable wind speeds.

Calculating minimal cut sets is a typical quantification method used to evaluate the top event probability for a fault tree. If minimal cut sets cannot be calculated or if the accuracy of the quantification result is in doubt, the Monte Carlo method can provide an alternative for fault tree quantification. The Monte Carlo method for fault tree quantification tends to take a long time because it repeats the calculation for a large number of samples. Herein, proposal is made to improve the quantification algorithm of a fault tree with circular logic. We developed a top-down iteration algorithm that combines the characteristics of the top-down approach and the iteration approach, thereby reducing the computation time of the Monte Carlo method.

An energy-efficient 64-bit prefix adder is proposed for micro-server processors based on both semidynamic and bypassing structures. Prefix adders consist of three main stages i.e. propagate-generate (PG) stage, carry merge (CM) tree, and sum generators. In this architecture, the PG and CM stages consume most of the power because these are based on domino circuits. This letter proposes a semidynamic PG stage for its energy-efficiency. In addition, we adopt the bypassing structure on the CM tree to reduce its switching activity. Experimental results show 19.1% improvement of energy efficiency from prior art.

A PC window-based computer code, CONPAS(CONtainment Performance Analysis System), has been developed to integrate the numerical, graphical and results-operation aspects of Level 2 probabilistic safety assessments (PSA) for nuclear power plants automatically. As a main logic for accident progression analysis, it employs a concept of the small containment phenomenological event tree(CPET) helpful to trace out visually individual accident progressions and of the large supporting event tree(LSET) for its detailed quantification. Compared with other existing computer codes for Level 2 PSA, the CONPAS code provides several advanced features: computational aspects including systematic uncertainty analysis, importance analysis, and sensitivity analysis, reporting aspects including tabling and graphic, and user-friend interface.

In order to apply a static fault-tree (FT) method to a system or a plant whose configuration changes dynamically, condition gates and a post processing method are used to effectively accommodate these changes. An operator's performance change, which can be caused by these configuration changes, should also be considered to assess the risk to a plant in a more realistic manner. This study aims to develop an integrated framework to accommodate various configuration changes and their effect on an operator’s performance by using the FT model. We applied a condition-based human reliability assessment (CBHRA) method to consider various conditions endured by an operator. That is, we integrated the CBHRA method with the conventional post processing method for modeling the system configuration changes. The effect of the condition monitoring systems installed in a plant is also considered. In this study, we show an example application of the integrated framework to a probabilistic safety assessment for the shutdown phase of a nuclear power plant.
