골격선 추출에 대한 향상된 디지털 이미지를 획득하기 위해서 효과적인 골격화 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 임계값을 이용한 이진화를 거친 후에 본 방법을 적용하여 영상 골격화 효율을 높이고자 한다. 기존의 골격화 방법은 Rutovits, Stefabelli 그리고 그 외에 5가지 방법을 사용하였다. 기존의 방법은 많은 부분에서 팽창과 잡음가지들이 생성되어 골격화를 이루는데 어려운 점이 많았다. 그러나 제안된 방법은 수정된 병렬처리 단계를 통해서 먼저 문제점들을 제거하였고, 첨가하여 제안된 8가지 제거 조건들에 일치하면 중앙 화소를 제거하여 골격화 품질을 향상시켰다.

In this paper, the three dimensional Parallel Realistic Failure Process Analysis ($RFPA^{3D}$-Parallel) code based on micromechanical model is employed to investigate the bonding behavior in FRP sheet bonded to concrete in single shear test. In the model, the heterogeneity of brittle disordered material at a meso-scale was taken into consideration in order to realistically demonstrate the mechanical characteristics of FRP-to-concrete. Modified Mohr-coulomb strength criterion with tension cut-off, where a stressed element can damage in shear or in tension, was adopted and a stiffness degradation approach was used to simulate the initiation, propagation and growth of microcracks in the model. In addition, a Master-Slave parallel operation control technique was adopted to implement the parallel computation of a large numerical model. Parallel computational results of debonding of FRP-concrete visually reproduce the spatial and temporal debonding failure progression of microcracks in FRP sheet bonded to concrete, which agrees well with the existing testing results in laboratory. The numerical approach in this study provides a useful tool for enhancing our understanding of cracking and debonding failure process and mechanism of FRP-concrete and our ability to predict mechanical performance and reliability of these FRP sheet bonded to concrete structures.

In this paper, we extend the derivation of the iterative soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) for partial response (PR) channels, and modify its decoding process such that it works consistently for arbitrary high code rates, e.g., rate 64/65. We show that the modified SOVA always outperforms the conventional SOVA that appears in the literature with a significant difference for high code rates. It also offers a significant cut down in the trace-back computations. We further examine its performance for parallel and serial concatenated codes on a precoded Class IC partial response (PR4) channel. Code rates of the form $\frac{k_0}{k_0+1}$($k_0$ = 4, 8, and 64) are considered. Our simulations indicate that the loss suffered by the modified SOVA, relative to the APP algorithm, is consistent for all code rates and is at most 1.2 dB for parallel concatenations and at most 1.6 dB for serial concatenations at $P_b$ = $10^{-5}$.

Since Korean government imposed a stricter regulation on effluent T-N and T-P concentrations from wastewater treatment plant, a new process has to be developed to meet these rules and this process should remove T-N and T-P, economically, from weak wastewater that is typical for Korea's combined sewer system sewage. In this study, a computer simulator, BioWin from EnviroSim, Inc. was used. Three processes - A2/O, Modified Johannesburg, UCT- had been simulated under same operational conditions and a new process - Parallel BNR Process - had been developed based on these simulation results. The Parallel BNR process consists of two rows of reactors: One row has anaerobic and aerobic reactors in series, and the other row has RAS anoxic1 and RAS anoxic2 reactors in series. In order to ensure anaerobic state in anaerobic tank, a part of influent is fed to RAS anoxic1 tank in second row. This process had been simulated under same conditions of other three processes and the simulation results were compared. The results showed that three existing processes could not perform biological phosphorus removal when the average influent was fed at any operation temperatures. However, the Parallel BNR process was found that biological phosphorus removal could be performed when both design and average influent were fed at any operation temperatures. This process showed the T-N concentration in effluent had a maximum value of 15mg/L when design influent was fed at $13^{\circ}C$ and a minimum value of 14mg/L when average influent was fed at $20^{\circ}C$. Also, T-P concentrations had a maximum value of 1.3mg/L when average influent was fed at $20^{\circ}C$ and a minimum value of 1.1mg/L when design influent was fed at $13^{\circ}C$. Based on these results, we found that this process can remove nitrogen and phosphorus biologically under any operational conditions.

스테레오 카메라를 사용하여 입체영상을 획득하는 대표적인 방법으로는 수렴 및 평행방식이 있다. 본 연구는 수렴 및 평행타입의 장점을 갖추고 자연스런 입체영상을 획득할 수 있는 평행타입 기반의 변형평행타입 입체영상 획득 방법을 사용하여 수렴방식의 입체영상 획득방법을 모사할 수 있는 인자들의 추출 및 정량적 분석을 통하여 중요 핵심인자를 정의하였다. 결과적으로 변형평행 타입에서 수렴타입을 모사할 수 있는 인자들은 스테레오 카메라의 간격, 화각 및 수렴각이고, 융합영역 내에서의 핵심인자는 수렴각의 변화이다. 결론적으로 변형평행타입으로 수렴타입을 완벽히 모사할 수 있는 인자들의 정량적 범위는 사용환경에 따라 다르며, 초점길이가 짧을 수록, 수렴각이 작을수록 근거리 물체에 대한 수렴타입과 변형평행타입의 영상좌표의 오차량은 적다.

This paper proposes a modified min-max algorithm (MMMA) for nonbinary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (NB-QC-LDPC) codes and an efficient parallel block-layered decoder architecture corresponding to the algorithm on a graphics processing unit (GPU) platform. The algorithm removes multiplications over the Galois field (GF) in the merger step to reduce decoding latency without any performance loss. The decoding implementation on a GPU for NB-QC-LDPC codes achieves improvements in both flexibility and scalability. To perform the decoding on the GPU, data and memory structures suitable for parallel computing are designed. The implementation results for NB-QC-LDPC codes over GF(32) and GF(64) demonstrate that the parallel block-layered decoding on a GPU accelerates the decoding process to provide a faster decoding runtime, and obtains a higher coding gain under a low $10^{-10}$ bit error rate and low $10^{-7}$ frame error rate, compared to existing methods.

NOW(Network of Workstations)는 병렬 프로그램들을 수행하기 위한 플랫폼으로 많이 고려되어지고 있다. NOW에서 병렬 프로그램이 좋은 성능으로 실행되기 위해 해결되어야할 기본적인 문제들 중 하나가 작업의 스케쥴링 문제를 효율적으로 결정하는 것이다. 현재 NOW에 관한 대부분의 연구는 NOW를 구성하는 모든 워크스테이션이 같은 처리 능력을 가지고 있다고 가정하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 NOW를 구성하는 워크스테이션들이 다른 계산 능력을 가지고 있는 것을 고려한다. 이질적인 계산 능력을 가지고 있는 워크스테이션들로 구성된 NOW에 적용할 수 있는 10가지 공간 분할 스케쥴링 방법을 제시하 고, 시뮬레이터를 통하여 이 스케쥴링 정책들을 비교한다. 시뮬레이터는 합성된 순차/병렬 부하를 입력으로 받아 병렬 작업의 응답 사간과 기다림 시간을 성능 지표로 발생시킨다. 실험 결과 워크스테이션의 계산 능력에 비례하여 병렬 프로그램을 이질적으로 분할하는 경우가 균등 분할하는 경우보다 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 병렬 프로세스를 수행하는 워크스테이션에 소유자가 돌아온 경우 병렬 프로세스를 새 유휴 워크스테이션에 이주하는 것보다는 단지 우선 순위를 낮추는 것이 높은 성능을 보여 주었다. 우선 순위 낮춤을 사용하는 이질적 분할의 경우 적응 할당 정책이 넓은 범위의 병렬 프로그램 도착시간에서 좋은 성능을 보이나 부하 불균형이 높아지는 경우 수정된 적응 할당 정책이 높은 성능을 보여준다 .

Epoxy/Organically Modified Layered Silicate Nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing synthetic layered silicate modified with alkyl ammonium ions. In the dispersing process, the organically modified layered silicate were mixed in epoxy resin with shearing, and aggregation of the silicate were removed by centrifugal separation after mixing epoxy resin and silicates. Micrographs taken by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) indicate that the nanocomposites have a mixed morphology including both parallel silicate layers and exfoliated silicate layers area, As the thermal properties, the glass transition temperature of the nanocomposites was shifted to a higher temperature($+6^{\circ}C$)than pure epoxy. Furthermore, dispersion of OMLS will prevented relative permittivity from increasing at a high temperature above the glass transition temperature.

The EMC's rheological effects on molding process are evaluated in this study. When considering mold processing for IC packages, the major concerning items in current studies are incomplete fill, severe wire sweeping and paddle shifts etc. To simulate EMC's fast curing rheokinetics with 3D mold flow behavior, one should select appropriate rheometry which characterize each EMC's rheological motion and finding empirical parameters for numerical analysis current studies present the new rheometry with parallel plate rheometry for reactive rheokinetic experiments, the experiment and numerical analysis is done with the commercial higher filler loaded EMC for the case of Thin Quad Plant Packages (TQFP) with package thickness below 1.0 mm. The experimental results and simulation results based on new rheometry matches well in point of the prediction of wire sweep, filling behavior of melt front advancement and void trapping position.
