Knowledge of minimum horizontal stress (S_hmin) is a significant step in determining full stress tensor. It provides crucial information for the production of sand, hydraulic fracturing, determination of safe mud weight window, reservoir production behavior, and wellbore stability. Calculating the S_hmin using indirect methods has been proved to be awkward because a lot of data are required in all of these models. Also, direct techniques such as hydraulic fracturing are costly and time-consuming. To figure these problems out, this work aims to apply the long-short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm to S_hmin time-series prediction. 13956 datasets obtained from an oil well logging operation were applied in the models. 80% of the data were used for training, and 20% of the data were used for testing. In order to achieve the maximum accuracy of the LSTM model, its hyper-parameters were optimized significantly. Through different statistical indices, the LSTM model's performance was compared with with other machine learning methods. Finally, the optimized LSTM model was recommended for S_hmin prediction in the well logging operation.

This study was aimed at suggest a proper logging method of mountain forest using geographic information system(GIS) based on digital terrain model(DTM) in the National Forest at Mt. Kumsan in Namhae-gun, Gyungsangnam-do, which has about 2,948 ha in area. The areal percentage of 201 to 250m in the elevation was about 15.5%, elevation of 251 to 300m was 14.5%, and 78.75% for higher than 400m. The accumulated areal percentage of below 30% in the gradient was 17.2%, and 81.0% for steeper than 60%. The area for tractor skidding was 17.2%(511.7ha), the area for tractor attached winch skidding was 63.8%(1,896.3ha) and 18.4%(545.5ha) for cable yarding. It is important to choose the proper logging machines for timber harvesting. In general, the selection of logging operation system was affected several major environmental factors like as terrain conditions(slope gradient, slope length) and stand factors. The rate of middle slope gradients in terrain conditions showed higher than that of steep slope gradients in this area. Therefore, it considered that the logging operation system in this area could apply to tractor+winch operating machine according to terrain conditions.

This research was conducted in order to examine whether the Woodgrab short-wood logging method, most widely used logging method in Korea, is more favorable than other logging methods in terms of productivity and profitability. For the comparative purposes, whole-tree logging methods with cable yarding system using a swing yarder and a tower yarder were evaluated. The productivity and the profitability of the logging operations by the machine types on a L. kaempferi stand were estimated by simulating logging processes based on bucking patterns and the results were compared. As a result, the Woodgrab short-wood logging system showed the most favorable results in terms of skidding productivity and operating cost. On the contrary, the system was the least profitable among the three logging methods. Main reason is that while the system may be beneficial in terms of operation productivity, it is restricted to produce only short logs mainly for low quality raw materials such as pulp, bolts, etc. which are sold at cheap prices.

The DAta management and Communication NETworks (DACONET), Which it is designed as a subsystem for Man-Machine Interface System of Korea Advanced LIquid MEtal Reactor(KALIMER MMIS) and advanced design concept is approached, is described. The DACONET has its roles of providing the real-time data transmission and communication paths between MMIS systems, providing the quality data for protection, monitoring and control of KALIMER and logging the static and dynamic behavioral data during KALIMER operation. The DACONET is characterised as the distributed real-time system architecture with high performance, Future direction, in which advanced technology is being continually applied to Man-Machine interface System Development of Nuclear Power Plants, will be considered for designing data management and communication networks of KALIMER MMIS

Stability of cable yarding with self-propelled carriage was discussed by theoretical tension calculation and field test. To verify usefulness of theoretical stability evaluation of cable yarding operation, skyline tension and stump anchoring force were measured and compared with theoretical calculation. As results, we know that measured skyline tension was similar to theoretical calculated tension. From these results, overall stability of cable logging operation could be evaluate. The stump anchoring force correlated closely with the stump diameters. The inclination angles that the stumps show the maximum anchoring force were ranged 5-10 degrees. It was conclude that the stumps have lost the function as an anchor when the inclinations was so large that they could be observed.

The purpose of this study was to examine productivity and cost of tree-length harvesting using cable yarding system in a larch (Larix leptolepis) clear-cutting stand located in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. We used tree-length harvesting method using cable yarding system with a tower yarder HAM300. The productivity was $17.6m^3/hr$ for felling, $12.4m^3/hr$ for delimbing, $4.2m^3/hr$ for yarding, and $8.1m^3/hr$ for processing. The total cost of the harvesting system was $48,381won/m^3$, which was majorly composed of yarding operation cost, at $40,169won/m^3$ (79.3%), while felling had the lowest cost at $1,154won/m^3$ (4.1%). Major factors affecting felling and processing productivity was tree volume and the number and thickness of branches for delimbing productivity. In addition, we suggest that training and education for machine operators were critical to improve yarding productivity.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the input methods of the numeric keypads that are widely used in various types of consumer and industrial electronic products. Three methods to enter numerals using keypads were compared: (1) Machine Intelligence, (2) + 100 key, and (3) Enter key input methods. Experiments were conducted to compare these three input methods for the channel selection of TV. Experimental prototypes which simulate TV user interfaces were developed using $RAPID^{TM}$ for usability testings. In the experiment, data on subject performance such as completion time, operational errors, and user interaction were collected through auto-logging method and video recording. After each test session, subjective preference was also asked using a questionnaire. In order to analyze the type of operation errors and the error causation, operation sequences were analyzed from the collected data. The Enter key input method showed better performance than other input methods. Based on these results. we can conclude that the input method using numeric keypads should be compatible with generic number counting(to input ch 7, it would be better to input 7 directly than to input 07 or 007) and should switch the channel as quickly as possible. This conclusion can be applied to the design of user interfaces which require numeral inputs.
