  • Austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) are widely used for nuclear pipes as they exhibit a good combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, high tensile residual stresses may occur in ASS welds because postweld heat treatment is not generally conducted in order to avoid sensitization, which causes a stress corrosion crack. In this study, round robin analyses on stress intensity factors (SIFs) were carried out to examine the appropriateness of structural integrity assessment methods for ASS pipe welds with two types of circumferential cracks. Typical stress profiles were generated from finite element analyses by considering residual stresses and normal operating conditions. Then, SIFs of cracked ASS pipes were determined by analytical equations represented in fitness-for-service assessment codes as well as reference finite element analyses. The discrepancies of estimated SIFs among round robin participants were confirmed due to different assessment procedures and relevant considerations, as well as the mistakes of participants. The effects of uncertainty factors on SIFs were deducted from sensitivity analyses and, based on the similarity and conservatism compared with detailed finite element analysis results, the R6 code, taking into account the applied internal pressure and combination of stress components, was recommended as the optimum procedure for SIF estimation.

  • The recent past has seen a tremendous amount of advancement in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), allowing the influx of a variety of devices into the market. IoT devices are present in almost every aspect of our daily lives. While this increase in usage has many advantages, it also comes with many problems, including and not limited to, the problem of security. There is a need for better measures to be put in place to ensure that the users' data is protected. In particular, fitness trackers used by a vast number of people, transmit important data regarding the health and location of the user. This data is transmitted from the fitness device to the phone and from the phone onto a cloud server. The transmission from device to phone is done over Bluetooth and the latest version of Bluetooth Light Energy (BLE) is fairly advanced in terms of security, it is susceptible to attacks such as Man-in-the-Middle attack and Denial of Service attack. Additionally, the data must be stored in an encrypted form on the cloud server; however, this proves to be a problem when the data must be decrypted to use for running computations. In order to ensure protection of data, measures such as end-to-end encryption may be used. Homomorphic encryption is a class of encryption schemes that allow computations on encrypted data. This paper explores the application of homomorphic encryption for fitness trackers.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing the outcome of psychosocial rehabilitation for persons with chronic mental illness and to suggest a hypothetical model of psychosocial rehabilitation which is based on the relationship between influencing factors and then to test its fitness empirically. Method: Data was collected from persons with a chronic mental illness using a self-report questionnaire, and from their case managers using an observed rating questionnaire. A total of 220 cases were used in the final analysis, and a hypothetical model was verified through covariance structure analysis using LISREL. Result: 1) The fitness indices of the model were $X^2=133.77$ (df=48, p=.00), GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.87, RMR=2.32, NNFI=0.95 and NFI=0.95. Twelve paths among fifteen proved to be significant. 2) Psychosocial rehabilitation was influenced directly by symptoms, daily living skill and self-concept, and was influenced indirectly by the psychosocial rehabilitation program service. Psychosocial rehabilitation accounted for 32% of variance of these factors. Conclusion: This study is expected to contribute to understanding the psychosocial rehabilitation phenomena. Besides it will provide basic information for developing strategies of bio-psycho-sociological interventions and evaluations in regard to influential factors of psychosocial rehabilitation.

  • 최근의 소셜 네트워크 서비스 (Social Network Service)는 그 사용범위와 목적이 확장하고 있다. 초기의 이메일, 리스트서브, 뉴스그룹 등 비교적 동질적 집단 간의 네트워킹 중심의 SNS로부터, 이제는 기업들에게도 게시판, 개인의 미니홈피나 블로그, Facebook, Twitter를 이용한 소셜미디어 마케팅이라는 개념이 형성되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소셜미디어 활용과 수출마케팅 성과의 관계성을 검증하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위하여 SNS활용의 유형을 살펴보고, 이들과 수출마케팅 성과와의 관계를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구결과, SNS활용은 수출마케팅 성과와 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 제품의 온라인 적합성과 조직의 혁신수용성은 SNS활용에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 도출된 반면, 마케팅역량과 국제화역량은 SNS활용을 통하여 수출마케팅성과로 이어지지 않는다고 파악되었다. 따라서 SNS의 활용을 증진시킬 수 있는 제품과 서비스의 개발과 함께, 조직 내부의 SNS활용에 대한 적극적 관심과 수용이 필요하다는 점을 시사하고 있다.

  • The purpose of this research is to propose a design technique of concrete mix proportions satisfying service life through genetic algorithm (GA) and neural network (NN). For this, thirty mix proportions and the related diffusion coefficients in high performance concrete are analyzed and fitness function for diffusion coefficient is obtained considering mix components like w/b (water to binder ratio), cement content, mineral admixture (slag, flay ash and silica fume) content, sand and coarse aggregate content. Through averaging the results of 10 times GA simulations, relative errors to the previous data decrease lower than 5.0% and the simulated mix proportions are verified with the experimental results. Assuming the durability design parameters, intended diffusion coefficient for intended service life is derived and mix proportions satisfying the service life are obtained. Among the mix proportions, the most optimized case which satisfies required concrete strength and the lowest cost is selected through GA algorithm. The proposed technique would be improved with the enhancement of comprehensive data set including wider the range of diffusion coefficients.

  • Fitness 센터 이용자들은 자신에게 맞지 않은 기구를 선택함으로써 부상의 위험이 존재했고 효율적인 운동 방법을 익히기 위해서는 오랜 시간이 필요했다. 이를 해결하기 위해 사람들은 퍼스널 트레이닝을 이용하지만 값비싼 비용의 문제가 발생하고 혼자 운동하는 습관을 기르는데 어려움을 갖게 했다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 스마트 폰 플랫폼과 호환성을 가진 하이브리드 앱 기반으로 개인화된 트레이닝 마켓 시스템을 구축하였다. 사용자들은 Fitness 센터에서 자신의 운동 기록을 스마트 폰의 하이브리드 앱을 활용해 가속도 센서를 활용하여 입력하거나 직접 입력하는 방식으로 웹에 전송한다. 이를 기반으로 사용자들에게 맞는 운동 프로그램을 웹에 있는 트레이닝 마켓을 통해 제공하게 된다. 퍼스널 트레이닝 마켓에는 다양한 사용자들이 운동 기록을 확인하여 그에 대한 운동 프로그램을 추천할 수 있고 스스로 선택하여 적용할 수 있다. 이를 통해 사용자는 자신에게 맞는 운동 프로그램으로 장기간 운동할 수 있는 습관을 기를 수 있고 능동적인 목표 설정이 가능하다.

  • With the proliferation of activity-tracking devices and other smart tools, more users leverage these personal informatics technologies to track their physical and fitness-related activities. The research on the benefits (and limitations) of these devices tends to focus on the use of a single tool, leaving out the interactions among multiple technologies, and how these interactions influence the way users perceive their affordances. Building from an ecological perspective, I extend this research by providing insight into the competitive and complementary relationships among activity tracking devices and other fitness-related and personal informatics technologies within the device ecology of technologies around the user. The affordances of these devices are therefore not enacted in isolation but are relational to understanding of other technological options and differing personal preferences and goals of the user.
