This paper provides a semi-analytical approach to investigate the variations of 3D displacement components, electric potential, stresses, electric displacements and transverse vibration frequencies in laminated piezoelectric composite plates based on the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) and the precise integration algorithm (PIA). The proposed approach can analyze the static and dynamic responses of multilayered piezoelectric plates with any number of laminae, various geometrical shapes, boundary conditions, thickness-to-length ratios and stacking sequences. Only a longitudinal surface of the plate is discretized into 2D elements, which helps to improve the computational efficiency. Comparing with plate theories and other numerical methods, only three displacement components and the electric potential are set as the basic unknown variables and can be represented analytically through the transverse direction. The whole derivation is built upon the three dimensional key equations of elasticity for the piezoelectric materials and no assumptions on the plate kinematics have been taken. By virtue of the equilibrium equations, the constitutive relations and the introduced set of scaled boundary coordinates, three-dimensional governing partial differential equations are converted into the second order ordinary differential matrix equation. Furthermore, aided by the introduced internal nodal force, a first order ordinary differential equation is obtained with its general solution in the form of a matrix exponent. To further improve the accuracy of the matrix exponent in the SBFEM, the PIA is employed to make sure any desired accuracy of the mechanical and electric variables. By virtue of the kinetic energy technique, the global mass matrix of the composite plates constituted by piezoelectric laminae is constructed for the first time based on the SBFEM. Finally, comparisons with the exact solutions and available results are made to confirm the accuracy and effectiveness of the developed methodology. What's more, the effect of boundary conditions, thickness-to-length ratios and stacking sequences of laminae on the distributions of natural frequencies, mechanical and electric fields in laminated piezoelectric composite plates is evaluated.

지하구조물은 일반적으로 영역의 무한성, 다양한 하중, 복합적인 구성재료 등으로 인하여 그 거동의 해석이 난이하다. 특히, 장기거동이 중요시되는 연약지반의 굴착문제 등에 있어서는 시간에 의존하는 점탄소성거동을 해석에 고려하여야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 점탄소성거동을 해석하는 방법으로서, 내부요소를 사용하지 않은 경계요소 해석방법을 유도하고, 정계요소와 유한요소를 조합하여 해석하는 방법을 도출하였다. 점탄소성을 고려한 지배적분방정식에서 점소성응력에 대한 영역적분은 극좌표를 이용한 직접적분방법을 적용하여 경계적분화하였고, 이에 따른 계방정식을 이용하여 프로그램화하였다. 또한 경제요소 프로그램을 점소성 유한요소 프로그램과 조합하여 굴착면 주위에 발생하는 시간의존 비탄성거동을 합리적으로 해석하도록 하였다. 경계요소해석 및 조합해석 결과는 정해 및 유한요소해석의 결과와 비교하여 검토하였다. 비교결과 내부요소를 사용하지 않은 경계요소법으로는 국부적인 응력집중으로 인한 비선형성이 충분히 고려되지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 유한요소-경계요소 조합방법으로는 상대적으로 많은 자유도를 가진 타 방법에 비교하여 합리적인 결과를 얻음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 시간에 의존되는 비탄성체의 해석에 있어서 조합방법을 사용하면 하중조건과 경계조건에 따르는 구조물의 거동을 합리적으로 예측할 수 있으며, 유한요소와 경계요소의 장점을 살려 보다 효용적인 해석의 수행이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Personal creativity is critically important for organizations seeking to survive and thrive in today's highly turbulent business environments. Organizations must effectively identify and mobilize the creative resources of their members. When organizational members perceive a work environment that restricts or fails to encourage individual creative expression, a gap may exist between the level of individual creative potential and the actual amount of individual creativity practiced within the organization. In this situation, this paper will examine the impact of role conflict, role ambiguity, creative self-efficacy, and personal initiative on personal creativity. Creative self-efficacy is the subjective belief in one's personal ability to be creative, that is, a personal assessment of one's own creative potential. A strong internal belief in one's ability to successfully engage in creative behaviors is generally considered an important part of the creative process. Personal Initiative refers to behaviors, mainly directed toward work and organizational issues, that are characterized by the following aspects: self-starting, proactive, and persistent in overcoming barriers. Creativity-related creative self-efficacy and personal initiative are critical components to understand motivation that coordinates the relationship between perception and behavior of individual employees. Based on role theory, researchers have focused on role conflict and role ambiguity as the two key ingredients of role stress. Role ambiguity is defined as an evaluation about the lack of salient information needed to perform a role effectively. Role conflict results from two or more sets of incompatible demands involving work-related issues. Employees are usually pursued work-roles more than one in work-focused organization. Too many work-roles and perceived uncertainties at employee's work can be obstacles to personal creativity. In an analysis of results, while role conflict is not negatively related significantly to creative self-efficacy, role ambiguity is negatively related significantly to creative self-efficacy. While role conflict is significantly related to personal creativity, role ambiguity is negatively related significantly to personal creativity. Creative self-efficacy mediates the relationship among role conflict, role ambiguity, and employee creativity. Personal initiative mediates the relationship between creative self-efficacy and employee creativity. This paper shows that creative self-efficacy and personal initiative are the driving force behind personal creativity. Organizations can get some implications of creative-related role conflict and role ambiguity that employees have experienced. As a result, organizations must not only encourage creativity of employees by greater involvement but also encourage their input towards their-focused own works and tasks. And employees should be developed to pace with the organizational needs and development. Management must enable employees to think of new ideas and practices that promotes personal creativity.

본 논문에서는 평면 형상에 대해 국소적 형태를 보존하는 형상 변형 기법의 시각적 품질을 향상시키기 위한 개선된 형상 변형 에너지를 제안한다. 형상 변형 에너지는 대개 형상의 윤곽선 변형 품질을 유지하기 위해 라플라시안 좌표, 형상 내부의 변형 품질을 유지하기 위한 평균값 좌표와 간선 길이 제한조건, 사용자 지정 정점의 위치 제한조건 등으로 구성된다. 형상 변형 기법은 사용자 지정 정점의 위치가 변화할 때, 정의된 형상 변형 에너지의 변화를 최소화하는 비선형 최소자승 최적화 기법을 사용하여 다른 모든 정점의 위치를 계산할 수 있다. 그러나, 사용자 지정 정점의 위치가 빠르게 변화하면, 형상의 라플라시안 벡터의 크기와 간선의 방향에 큰 변화가 발생하여 변형 결과의 시각적 품질이 급격히 감소하는 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 라플라시안 벡터의 크기와 간선의 방향 변화를 제한할 수 있는 새로운 제한 조건을 사용한 개선된 형상 변형 에너지를 제시한다. 개선된 변형 에너지는 최적화 수행 시간이 근소하게 증가하지만, 형상의 윤곽과 내부에서 변형 오차를 크게 줄일 수 있어 시각적으로 우수한 변형 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

로보틱스 연구에서, 모바일 로봇의 모션 제어를 위해서는 로봇의 실제 위치를 정확히 추정하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는, 두 개의 서로 다른 센서 데이터를 칼만필터로 융합하여 로봇의 위치인식을 개선하는 연구를 진행한다. 칼만필터로 융합한 두 개의 센서 측정값은 카메라 영상으로부터 측정된 모바일 로봇의 전역(global) 위치 좌표(x, y)값과 모바일 로봇 바퀴에 부착된 엔코더로부터 측정된 로봇의 직선 및 각속도 값이다. 다음으로 칼만필터로부터 계산된 모바일 로봇의 위치값을 모바일 로봇의 자세 안정화에 피드백하여 모션 제어의 퍼포먼스를 향상시켰다. 최종적으로 논문에서 제안한 센서융합 위치인식 기술과 모션제어기를 실제 로봇에 적용하여 실험적으로 검증하였다. 또한 모션제어에 단일 센서를 피드백으로 사용한 경우와 칼만필터로 융합한 위치 값을 사용한 경우를 비교하므로 칼만필터 기반 센서 융합 기술을 사용한 경우의 퍼포먼스 향상을 확인하였다.

Engineers have developed new instruments that aid in diagnosis and therapy Ultrasonic imaging has provided a nondamaging method of imaging internal organs. A complex transducer emits ultrasonic waves at many angles and reconstructs a map of internal anatomy and also velocities of blood in vessels. Fast computed tomography permits reconstruction of the 3-dimensional anatomy and perfusion of the heart at 20-Hz rates. Positron emission tomography uses certain isotopes that produce positrons that react with electrons to simultaneously emit two gamma rays in opposite directions. It locates the region of origin by using a ring of discrete scintillation detectors, each in electronic coincidence with an opposing detector. In magnetic resonance imaging, the patient is placed in a very strong magnetic field. The precessing of the hydrogen atoms is perturbed by an interrogating field to yield two-dimensional images of soft tissue having exceptional clarity. As an alternative to radiology image processing, film archiving, and retrieval, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are being implemented. Images from computed radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, and ultrasound are digitized, transmitted, and stored in computers for retrieval at distributed work stations. In electrical impedance tomography, electrodes are placed around the thorax. 50-kHz current is injected between two electrodes and voltages are measured on all other electrodes. A computer processes the data to yield an image of the resistivity of a 2-dimensional slice of the thorax. During fetal monitoring, a corkscrew electrode is screwed into the fetal scalp to measure the fetal electrocardiogram. Correlations with uterine contractions yield information on the status of the fetus during delivery To measure cardiac output by thermodilution, cold saline is injected into the right atrium. A thermistor in the right pulmonary artery yields temperature measurements, from which we can calculate cardiac output. In impedance cardiography, we measure the changes in electrical impedance as the heart ejects blood into the arteries. Motion artifacts are large, so signal averaging is useful during monitoring. An intraarterial blood gas monitoring system permits monitoring in real time. Light is sent down optical fibers inserted into the radial artery, where it is absorbed by dyes, which reemit the light at a different wavelength. The emitted light travels up optical fibers where an external instrument determines O2, CO2, and pH. Therapeutic devices include the electrosurgical unit. A high-frequency electric arc is drawn between the knife and the tissue. The arc cuts and the heat coagulates, thus preventing blood loss. Hyperthermia has demonstrated antitumor effects in patients in whom all conventional modes of therapy have failed. Methods of raising tumor temperature include focused ultrasound, radio-frequency power through needles, or microwaves. When the heart stops pumping, we use the defibrillator to restore normal pumping. A brief, high-current pulse through the heart synchronizes all cardiac fibers to restore normal rhythm. When the cardiac rhythm is too slow, we implant the cardiac pacemaker. An electrode within the heart stimulates the cardiac muscle to contract at the normal rate. When the cardiac valves are narrowed or leak, we implant an artificial valve. Silicone rubber and Teflon are used for biocompatibility. Artificial hearts powered by pneumatic hoses have been implanted in humans. However, the quality of life gradually degrades, and death ensues. When kidney stones develop, lithotripsy is used. A spark creates a pressure wave, which is focused on the stone and fragments it. The pieces pass out normally. When kidneys fail, the blood is cleansed during hemodialysis. Urea passes through a porous membrane to a dialysate bath to lower its concentration in the blood. The blind are able to read by scanning the Optacon with their fingertips. A camera scans letters and converts them to an array of vibrating pins. The deaf are able to hear using a cochlear implant. A microphone detects sound and divides it into frequency bands. 22 electrodes within the cochlea stimulate the acoustic the acoustic nerve to provide sound patterns. For those who have lost muscle function in the limbs, researchers are implanting electrodes to stimulate the muscle. Sensors in the legs and arms feed back signals to a computer that coordinates the stimulators to provide limb motion. For those with high spinal cord injury, a puff and sip switch can control a computer and permit the disabled person operate the computer and communicate with the outside world.

다중의 영상을 이용하여 하나의 파노라마 영상을 제작하는 기법은 컴퓨터 비전, 컴퓨터 그래픽스 등과 같은 여러 분야에서 널리 연구되고 있다. 파노라마 영상은 하나의 카메라에서 얻을 수 있는 영상의 한계, 즉 예를 들어 화각, 화질, 정보량 등의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로서 가상현실, 로봇비전 등과 같이 광각의 영상이 요구되는 다양한 분야에서 응용될 수 있다. 파노라마 영상은 단일 영상과 비교하여 보다 큰 몰입감을 제공한다는 점에서 큰 의미를 갖는다. 현재 다양한 파노라마 영상 제작 기법들이 존재하지만, 대부분의 기법들이 공통적으로 파노라마 영상을 구성할 때 각 영상에 존재하는 특징점 및 대응점을 검출하는 방식을 사용하고 있다. 또한, 대응점을 이용한 RANSAC(RANdom SAmple Consensus) 알고리즘을 사용, Homography Matrix를 구하여 영상을 변환하는 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 사용한 SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) 알고리즘은 영상의 특징점을 검출할 때 영상의 흑백정보와 지역 공간 정보를 활용하는데, 영상의 크기 변화와 시점 검출에 강하며 SIFT(Scale Invariant Features Transform) 알고리즘에 비해 속도가 빠르다는 장점이 있어서 널리 사용되고 있다. SURF 알고리즘은 대응점 검출 시 잘못된 대응점을 검출하는 경우가 생긴다는 단점이 존재하는데 이는 RANSAC 알고리즘의 수행속도를 늦추며, 그로인해 CPU 사용 점유율을 높이기도 한다. 대응점 검출 오류는 파노라마 영상의 정확성 및 선명성을 떨어뜨리는 핵심 요인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 대응점 검출의 오류를 최소화하기 위하여 대응점 좌표 주변 $3{\times}3$ 영역의 RGB값을 사용하여 잘못된 대응점들을 제거하는 중간 필터링 과정을 수행하고, 문제해결을 시도하는 동시에 파노라마 이미지구성 처리 속도 및 CPU 사용 점유율 등의 성능 향상 결과와 추출된 대응점 감소율, 정확도 등과 관련한 분석 및 평가 결과를 제시하였다.

This study concerns possible measures to prevent separatists' terrorist acts against overseas Korean businessmen. Of late, many Korean enterprises are helping a number of foreign countries develop their economy, by building factories and manning regional offices in those countries. But recent development of terrorism especially against Korean businessmen is alarming. This report discusses the need for Korean enterprises heading overseas to prepare themselves with awareness of terrorism and possible protective measures against it, besides their routine pursuance of profits; and for the government and prospective enterprises to refrain from investing in those countries having active separatist movements. If an investment has become inevitable, a careful survey of the region in conflict should be conducted and self-protective measures should be put in place through security information exchange, emergency coordination and training of personnel, etc. This study will first review the past terrorist incidents involving employees of overseas Korean enterprises, and then will focuss on seeking effective measures on the basis of the reported incidents. In carrying out the study, related literature from both home and abroad have been used along with the preliminary materials reported and known on the Internet from recent incidents. 1. The separatist movements of minority groups Lately, minority separatist groups are increasingly resorting to terrorism to draw international attention with the political aim of gaining extended self rule or independence. 2. The state of terrorism against overseas Korean enterprises and Koreans Korean enterprises are now operating businesses, and having their own personnel stationed, in 85 countries including those in South East Asia and Middle East regions. In Sri Lanka, where a Korean enterprise recently became a target of terrorist bombing, there are 75 business firms from Korea and some 700 Korean employees are stationed as of August 1996. A total of 19 different terrorist incidents have taken place against Koreans abroad since 1990. 3. Terrorism preventive measures Terrorism preventive measures are discussed in two ways: measures by the government and by the enterprises. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by the government - Possible measures at governmental level can include collection and dissemination of terrorist activity information. Emphasis should be given to the information on North Korean activities in particular. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by individual enterprises - Organizational security plan must be established by individual enterprises and there should also be an increase of security budget. A reason for reluctant effort toward positive security plan is the perception that the security budget is not immediately linked to an increment of profit gain. Ensuring safety for overseas personnel is a fundamental obligation of an enterprise. Consultation and information exchange on security plan, and an emergency support system at a threat to security must be sought after and implemented. 4. Conclusion Today's terrorism varies widely depending on reasons and causes, and its means has become increasingly informationalized and scientific as well while its method is becoming more clandestine and violent. Terrorist organizations are increasingly aiming at enterprises for acquisition of budgets needed for their activities. Korean enterprises have extended their business realm to foreign countries since 1970, exposing themselves to terrorism. Enterprises and their employees, therefore, should establish their own security measures on the one hand while the government must provide general measures, on the other, for the protection of the life and property of Korean residents abroad from terrorist attacks. In this regard, set-up of a counter terrorist organization that coordinates the efforts of government authorities in various levels in planning and executing counter terrorist measures is desired. Since 1965, when the hostile North Korea began to step up its terrorist activities against South Koreans, there have been 7 different occasions of assassination attempt on South Korean presidents and some 500 cases of various kidnappings and attempted kidnappings. North Korea, nervous over the continued economic growth and social stabilization of South Korea, is now concentrating its efforts in the destruction and deterioration of the national power of South Korea for its earlier realization of reunification by force. The possibility of North Korean terrorism can be divided into external terrorist acts and internal terrorist acts depending on the nationality of the terrorists it uses. The external terrorist acts include those committed directly by North Korean agents in South Korea and abroad and those committed by dissident Koreans, hired Korean residents, or international professionals or independent international terrorists bought or instigated by North Korea. To protect the life and property of Korean enterprises and their employees abroad from the threat of terrorism, the government's administrative support and the organizational efforts of enterprises should necessarily be directed toward the planning of proper security measures and training of employees. Also, proper actions should be taken against possible terrorist acts toward Korean business employees abroad as long as there are ongoing hostilities from minority groups against their governments.
