  • Recently, it has been partly attempted to measure behavior of large-sized bridge using GPS, but it is accomplished at the first step and unsystemically. The purpose of this research is to measure bridge behavior by Kinematic On The Fly (OTF) technique of GPS. The results of this study show that bridge behavior can be measured easily and conveniently in three dimension, monitored at the real time, and measured continuously without a break by OTF Technique of GPS.

  • Over 4.1 billion metric tons of non-hazardous solid wstes are generated in the United States annually. Therefore, there is a need to reuse or reprocess as many products or by-products as possible. In this report, theaggregates produced from Naval Shipyard and Charleston area dredge spoils are designated as GP-21-23 and GP 4-5, repectively. The major objective of this study is to determine the feasiblity of the use of these aggregates in concrete. The followings are some of the conclusions, observations and recommendations regarding this portion of the research project. In most cases, the unit weight of concrete containing GP 21-23 and GP 4-5 (vitrified galss) lower than the control concrete, and the concrete containing vitrified glass produced lower compressive and bending strength compared to the control. However the concrete containing virtrified glass could be used in the field based on the minimum criterial set for the mix design. The use of vitrified glass in concrete is recommended in several applications except parking lots, side walks and main roads, because abrasion resistace is not high.

  • This paper introduces a new approach to develop a fast gait for quadruped robot using GP(genetic programming). Planning gaits for legged robots is a challenging task that requires optimizing parameters in a highly irregular and multidimensional space. Several recent approaches have focused on using GA(genetic algorithm) to generate gait automatically and shown significant improvement over previous results. Most of current GA based approaches used pre-selected parameters, but it is difficult to select the appropriate parameters for the optimization of gait. To overcome these problems, we proposed an efficient approach which optimizes joint angle trajectories using genetic programming. Our GP based method has obtained much better results than GA based approaches for experiments of Sony AIBO ERS-7 in Webots environment.

  • 지능형교통체계(ITS)환경 하에서 요구되는 정보서비스의 기본적인 형태는 통행속도, 지체정도, 통행시간등으로 대별 되어질 수 있다. 그 중 통행시간의 기본적 요소로서 링크통행시간을 산출하기 위한 제반 기법을 소개하였고, 특히 GPS를 이용한 링크통행시간 산정기법을 본 고에서는 제시하였다. 현재 GPS를 장착한 차량이 고유의 목적 (예를 들면, 위치파악 및 배차등의 목적으로)을 위해서 점차 늘어나고 있는 추세인 만큼 (개인택시조합등) 이러한 자원을 부수적으로 이용할 수 없는지에 대한 활용방안의 여부가 논문을 작성하는 계기가 되었다. 이를 위해서 본 고에서는 구체적으로 GPS 원시테이터, 수치도로지도 (GIS포함) 및 무선데이터망을 이용하여 링크 통행시간을 산출하는 기법이 이를 위해서 본 고에서는 구체적으로 제시되었으며, 이들을 통한 교통정보의 수집 가능성을 제안하였다. 중간 결과로서 실제 가로주행조사를 통해서 얻어진 링크통행시간과 본 연구에서 게시된 GPS를 통해 얻어진 링크통행시간과 비교해 보면 오창의 범위가 10%내외로서 판명되어 그나마 동적교통정보 수집조건이 열악한 우리실정에 큰 자원이 될 수 있다는 확신을 얻을 수 ? 있었다. 한편, 본 연구에서 수행되지 못하였으나 추가연구로서 반드시 수행되었으면 하는 몇가지의 항목이 결론부에 함께 제시되었다.

  • Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus (MV) is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Most events of MV occur in the neonatal period with bilious vomiting, abdominal distension, feeding intolerance, and bloody stools. Neonatal gastric perforation (GP) is a rare and life-threatening condition associated with high mortality. It occurs either in an idiopathic form or in association with gastrointestinal anomalies such as duodenal atresia and MV. The pathogenesis of both MV and GP is related to ischemic change and inflammatory response. MV and GP can lead to morbidities such as sepsis, intestinal ischemia, and organ failure, but not neurologic problems. We herein report the case of a term infant at 5 days after birth, with MV accompanied by GP, who developed periventricular leukomalacia.

  • One of the possible mechanisms of multi-drug resistance found in cancer cells is the over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Studies have shown that compounds found in plants including vegetables and fruits not only have anticancer activities but may also modulate P-gp activity. The effect of flavonoids and organic isothiocyanates on P-gp activity was studied in human uterine sarcoma cell lines, MES-Sa (sensitive) and MES-SD/DX5 (resistant). The accumulation of daunomycin (DNM), a P-gp substrate, was approximately 10 times greater in the sensitive cell as compared to the resistant cells over the entire time course (up to 2 hrs).

  • The author presents a simple data-driven intraday technical indicator trading approach based on Genetic Programming (GP) for return forecasting in the Bitcoin market. We use five trend-following technical indicators as input to GP for developing trading rules. Using data on daily Bitcoin historical prices from January 2017 to February 2020, our principal results show that the combination of technical analysis indicators and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, primarily GP, is a potential forecasting tool for Bitcoin prices, even outperforming the buy-and-hold strategy. Sensitivity analysis is employed to adjust the number and values of variables, activation functions, and fitness functions of the GP-based system to verify our approach's robustness.

  • 본 연구에서는 실내 공간 정보 획득을 위한 IMU/INS 항법장치에 관한 연구를 위한 선행연구를 수행 하였다. 최근의 GPS를 이용한 내비게이션의 경우 보통 5~10m의 위치 오차가 일어나지만 아파트나 대형시설과 같이 실내, 터널, 공장지대 및 산악 지대등 상당한 지역은 GPS의 사각지대 또는 오차 범위를 벗어난 지역으로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 GPS는 실내에서는 사용이 불가능 하므로 다른 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 현재 고속 연산을 위한 고성능 마이크로프로세서의 발전은 센서 분야에 적용되어 저 전력, 고 정밀, 소형의 IMU/INS, ARS/AHRS 센서가 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IMU(inertial measurement unit)와 INS(Inertial Navigation System)을 이용하여 IMU자체의 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 이용한 GPS의 위성신호가 감지되지 않는 지형에서도 속도의 적분값과 회전방향을 이용하여 위치인식이 가능하도록 정보를 계산하여 자기의 위치를 추적하는 방안을 연구하였다.

  • Objectives: Literature has shown that micro-organisms contaminate gutta percha (GP) during storage and manipulation. Till date herbal extracts are not explored as an alternative medicament for pre-operative chairside disinfection of GP cones. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and efficacy of lemon grass oil (LG), basil oil (BO), and obicure tea extract (OT) in disinfecting GP cones before obturation. Materials and Methods: Agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of LG, BO, OT, and sodium hypochlorite (control) against common contaminants, namely, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. One hundred and twenty GP cones were contaminated and cut into 2. First half was placed in the broth and incubated; whereas the second was treated with herbal extracts for 1 minute and then incubated for 24 hours in the broth. Any inhibition in bacterial growth was noted with presence/absence of turbidity. Two-way analysis of variance and ${\chi}^2$ test were used to assess the effectiveness of herbal extracts to decontaminate GP. Results: LG showed the highest inhibition zones ($29.9{\pm}6.9mm$) for all tested organisms, followed by OT extract ($16.3{\pm}1.8mm$), sodium hypochlorite ($16.0{\pm}1.6mm$), and BO ($14.5{\pm}5.3mm$). Statistically significant difference was observed between LG and other herbal extracts (p < 0.05). Conclusions: All extracts proved to be potential rapid chairside disinfectants of GP cones with LG showing the highest antimicrobial activity.

  • Polyurethane NCO prepolymers were synthesized with the polyols such as PTMG, GP and the isocyanate such as TDI at $40^{\circ}C$ for 8.5 minutes. As average molecular weights (${\bar{M_n}}$: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000) of PTMG, and GP were decreased from 4000 to 1000, ratio of oil gelation increased from 298%, to 440%, for Bunker B. When oil and water were emulsified, the ratio of gelation was increased approximately two times. Ratio of gelation for emulsive Bunker B was increased from 402% to 910%, for PTMG1000 and increased from 440%, W 958% for GPI1000. Ratio of oil gelation for emulsive Bunk C which has higher viscosity than Bunker B was measured w 923% for PTMG1000 made with chain extender, i.e. EG, and measured to 1098% for GP1000. The gel made from GP which has three functional group showed soft and strong characteristic, as a result, it can be removed easily from oil spilled ocean.
