The structural monitoring of multi-wire strands is of importance to prestressed concrete structures and cable-stayed or suspension bridges. This paper addresses the monitoring of strands by ultrasonic guided waves with emphasis on the signal processing and automatic defect classification. The detection of notch-like defects in the strands is based on the reflections of guided waves that are excited and detected by magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducers. The Discrete Wavelet Transform was used to extract damage-sensitive features from the detected signals and to construct a multi-dimensional Damage Index vector. The Damage Index vector was then fed to an Artificial Neural Network to provide the automatic classification of (a) the size of the notch and (b) the location of the notch from the receiving sensor. Following an optimization study of the network, it was determined that five damage-sensitive features provided the best defect classification performance with an overall success rate of 90.8%. It was thus demonstrated that the wavelet-based multidimensional analysis can provide excellent classification performance for notch-type defects in strands.

Urban quality of life(QOL) is recently considered as the important determinant of inter-urban migration and industrial location chice. However, there is little concensus in the method of measurement of QOL. This study provides an theoretical framework of the measurement of QOL. This study provides an theoretical framework of the measurement of QOL, and developes a new method, a multi-year$\cdot$mulit-dimensional distance index model. Based on the theoretical framework and the method, the QOLs of 74 urban areas in Korea are measured, and the determinants of the QOL and the changes of the QOL between two years of 1993 and 1995 are analyzed. The results of the analysis are as follows: 1) The interurban differences of the QOL tens to be interban differences of the QOL tend to be intensified over time. 2) The OQLs of the cities in the Capital Region are relatively deteriorated. 3) The conditions of education$\cdot$Culture$\cdot$leisure life determiner over 65% of the QOL of the Korean cities.

센서 노드에서 수집되는 데이터는 지속적으로 삽입되는 스트림 데이터이기 때문에 효율적인 사용자 질의 처리를 위하여 노드별로 질의 색인을 구축해야 한다. 노드에서 최소 크기의 질의 색인을 구축하기 위해서는 질의 색인에 삽입되는 질의 조건을 수를 줄여야 할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 삽입되는 질의 조건의 수를 줄이기 위하여 다차원 데이터 색인을 이용한 질의 조건 배분 기법에 대하여 제안한다.

The aim of this study was to develop a multi-nozzle based bioprinting system for fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) biological structure. In this study, a thermoplastic biomaterial that has relatively high mechanical stability, polycaprolactone (PCL) was used to make the 3D structure. A multi-nozzle bioprinting system was designed to dispense thermoplastic biomaterial and hydrogel simultaneously. The system that consists of 3-axes of x-y-z motion control stage and a compartment for injection syringe control mounted on the stage has been developed. Also, it has 1-axis actuator for position change of nozzle. The controllability of the printed line width with PCL was tested as a representative performance index.

We propose the separation algorithm to simultaneously measure two-dimensional refractive index distribution and thickness profile of transparent samples using three wavelengths. The optical system was based on the Mach-zehnder interferometer with LD (Laser Diode)-based multi-wavelength sources. A LCR (Liquid Crystal Retarder) was used to obtain interference images at four phase states and then the optical phase of the object is calculated by four-bucket algorithm. Experimental results with a glass rod are provided at the different wavelengths of 635nm, 660nm and 675nm. The refractive indices of the sample are distributed with accuracy of less than 0.0005 and the thickness profile of sample was cylindrical type. This result demonstrates that it is possible to separate refractive index distribution and thickness profile of samples in two dimensions using the proposed algorithm.

The water quality of Lake Shihwa had been rapidly deteriorating since 1994 due to wastewater input from the watersheds, limited water circulation and the lack of a wastewater treatment policy. In 2000, the government decided to open the tidal embankment and make a comprehensive management plan to improve the water quality, especially inflowing stream water around Shihwa and Banwol industrial complex. However, the water quality and microbial community have not as yet been fully evaluated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influent water quality around the industrial area based on chemical and biological analysis, and collected surface water sample from the Siheung Stream, up-stream to down-stream through the industrial complex, Samples were collected in July 2009. The results show that the downstream site near the industrial complex had higher concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, and Zn) and organic matter than upstream sites. A combination of DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis) gels, lists of K-WQI (Korean Water Quality Index), cluster analysis, MDS (Multi-Dimensional Scaling) and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) has demonstrated clear clustering between Siheung stream 3 and 4 and with a high similarity and detected metal reducing bacteria (Shewanella spp.) and biodegrading bacteria (Acinetobacter spp.). These results suggest that use of both chemical and microbiological marker would be useful to fully evaluate the water quality.

Ship handling simulator is a virtual ship navigating system with three dimensional screen system and simulation programs. FTS simulation can produce theoretically infinite experiment tests without time constraint, but which results in collecting determinstic observations. RTS simulation can collect statistical observations but has disadvantage of spending at least 30 minutes for a single experiment. The previous studies suggested that the number of experiment conditions to be tested could be reduced to obtain random data with RTS simulation by focusing on highly difficult experiment condition for ship handling. It has the limitation of not estimating the distribution of ship handling difficulty for the route. In this paper, similarity and clustering analysis are suggested for reduction methodology of experiment conditions. Similarity of experiment conditions are measured as follows: euclidean distance of ship handling difficulty index and correlation matrix of distance differences from the designed route. Clustering analysis and multi-dimensional scaling are applied to classify experiment conditions with measured similarity into reducing the number of RTS simulation conditions. An empirical result on Dangin harbor is shown and discussed.

공간적인 자료구조를 기반으로 하는 공간 데이터베이스에서는 일차원 색인구조와는 달리 공간객체들의 다차원적인 특성에 부합되는 새로운 색인구조가 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구사항을 충족시키기 위하여 기존 다차원 색인구조들의 특징 분석을 통하여 공간 데이터베이스의 효율적인 검색을 위한 새로운 색인구조를 제안하였다. 기존 X-트리에서 슈퍼노드의 순차적인 검색방법의 개선과 방대한 슈퍼노드가 생성되는 경우에도 검색시간의 단축이 가능하도록 하기 위하여, 포인트 색인구조를 갖는 kd-트리를 X-트리에 병합시킨 색인구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 색인구조를 실제로 구현하여 실험 데이터의 차원과 분포에 따라 검색시간을 분석하였다.

다차원 색인 구조를 위한 기존의 벌크 로딩 알고리즘은 색인 구성 시간과 검색 성능 모두를 향상시키지 못하는 문제점을 갖는다. 이 논문은 이와 같은 문제점을 해결한 대량의 고차원 데이터에 대한 색인 구조를 위한 새로운 벌크 로딩 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한는 알고리즘은 색인을 구성하는 시간을 단축시키기 위해 전체 데이터 집합을 정렬하는 것이 아니라 데이터의 특성을 파악하여 피벗 값에 따라 분할하는 기법을 이용한다. 또한 검색 성능을 향상시키기 위해 데이터들의 분포 특성에 따라 분할 위치를 선택한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 기존의 알고리즘보다 색인 구성 시간과 검색 성능 측면에서 우수함을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 다차원 인덱스 기반 다단계 k-NN 검색의 성능 향상 문제를 다룬다. 기존 다단계 k-NN 검색에서는 고차원 객체의 저차원 변환으로 인한 정보 손실로 k-NN 질의 결과 매우 큰 허용치(검색 범위)가 결정되어 범위 질의 결과로 많은 후보가 검색된다. 또한, 많은 후보는 후처리 과정에서 매우 많은 I/O 및 CPU 오버헤드를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 고찰에 기반하여 범위 질의의 허용치를 줄여 후보 개수를 줄이고 이를 통해 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, k-NN 질의 결과로 결정된 허용치를 고차원 및 저차원 객체간 거리 비율로 강제 축소하여 범위 질의에 사용하는 허용치 축소 (근사적) 해결책을 제안한다. 다음으로, k-NN 질의 계수 k 대신 c k 를 사용하여 얻은 보다 타이트(tight)한 허용치로 범위 질의를 수행하는 계수 제어 (정확한) 해결책을 제안한다. 실제 객체 데이터를 사용하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 두 가지 해결책은 기존 다단계 k-NN 검색에 비해 후보 개수와 검색 시간 모두를 크게 향상시킨 것으로 나타났다.
