Over recent decades, concept mapping has been used as a valuable Learning and Teaching tool. A number of studies have shown a positive impact on student learning. One of the disadvantages of this technique has been that assessing them or providing feedback to students is time consuming. We aim here to introduce ways of reducing the complexity of using concept map techniques in online activities. Several types of scoring methods for the concept map based assessment have been developed. In this paper, we describe the development of an automatic assessment system that implements those techniques. We contribute a design that uses semantic web technologies for both the management and the scoring of the concept maps.

Citizen participation and Living Lab are attracting interest as one of the major strategies for the success of smart cities. In a Living Lab, citizens, who are the end-users of technology, participate in the search for alternatives to define and solve problems and repeat experiments to verify alternatives in a circular process. The purpose of this research was to present an operating model of a citizen-participating online community platform to improve urban problems, implement and test it, and show its applicability. To this end, an operation model of a citizen-participating online community platform was proposed to improve urban problems. An online platform was designed and implemented to reflect the functions pursued by the operation model. Finally, a pilot test for the function was performed using the Oma Elementary School case located in Ilsan, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. The operating model was designed with the city's pedestrian environment and children. As a result, the sharing and communicating process of urban issues among community members worked appropriately according to the designed intention. The Living Lab coordinator could visualize and view urban issues posted by users on a map based on location information. Visualizing the urban problem as a heat map confirmed that urban problems were concentrated in a specific area.

In this study, we presented a timing verification method for a passenger car diesel engine management system (EMS) using measurement-based worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis. In order to cope with AUTOSAR-compliant software architecture, a development process model is proposed. In the process model, a runnable is regarded as a test unit and its temporal behavior (i.e. maximum observed execution time, MOET) is obtained along with on-target functionality evaluation results during online unit test. Furthermore, a cost-effective framework for online unit test is proposed. Because the runtime environment layer and the standard calibration environment are utilized to implement test interface, additional resource consumption of the target processor is minimized. Using the proposed development process model and unit test framework, the MOETs of 86 runnables for diesel EMS are obtained with 213 unit test cases. Using the obtained MOETs of runnables, the WCETs of tasks are estimated and the schedulability is evaluated. From the schedulability analysis results, the problems of the initially designed schedule table is recognized and it is fixed by redesigning of the runnable mapping and task offset. Through the various test scenarios, the proposed method is validated.

This paper presents the implementation of the speed control system for 3 phase induction motor using PD controller and neural networks. The PD controller is used to control the motor and to train neural networks at the first time. And neural networks are widely used as controllers because of a nonlinear mapping capability, we used feedforward neural networks(FNN) in order to simply design the speed control system of the 3 phase induction motor. Neural networks are tuned online using the speed reference, actual speed measured from an encoder and control input current to motor. PD controller and neural networks are applied to the speed control system for 3 phase induction motor, are compared with PI controller through computer simulation and experiment respectively. The results are illustrated that the output of the PD controller is decreased and feedforward neural networks act main controller, and the proposed hybrid controllers show better performance than the PI controller in abrupt load variation and the precise control is possible because the steady state error can be minimized by training neural networks.

3D buildings are the most prominent feature comprising urban scene. A few of mega-cities in the globe are virtually reconstructed in photo-realistic 3D models, which becomes accessible by the public through the state-of-the-art online mapping services. A lot of research efforts have been made to develop automatic reconstruction technique of large-scale 3D building models from remotely sensed data. However, existing methods still produce irregular building polygons due to errors induced partly by uncalibrated sensor system, scene complexity and partly inappropriate sensor resolution to observed object scales. Thus, a geometric regularization technique is urgently required to rectify such irregular building polygons that are quickly captured from low sensory data. This paper aims to develop a new method for regularizing noise building outlines extracted from airborne LiDAR data, and to evaluate its performance in comparison with existing methods. These include Douglas-Peucker's polyline simplication, total least-squared adjustment, model hypothesis-verification, and rule-based rectification. Based on Minimum Description Length (MDL) principal, a new objective function, Geometric Minimum Description Length (GMDL), to regularize geometric noises is introduced to enhance the repetition of identical line directionality, regular angle transition and to minimize the number of vertices used. After generating hypothetical regularized models, a global optimum of the geometric regularity is achieved by verifying the entire solution space. A comparative evaluation of the proposed geometric regulator is conducted using both simulated and real building vectors with various levels of noise. The results show that the GMDL outperforms the selected existing algorithms at the most of noise levels.

Recent climate change has increased the occurrence of flood disaster. There are two approaches to prevent flooding damage. One is a structural method and the other is a non-structural method. The production and usage of a flood risk map are the example of non-structural way. The flood risk map displays several kinds of information to minimize casualties and property damage caused from flooding. In order to increase the usage of current flood risk maps and improve intuitive recognition of flood information, this paper produced flood risk maps based on geo-spatial information system using three dimensional virtual reality techniques and investigated the applicability of the maps. Because flood information is easily accessed through online, flood risk maps suggested in this paper are regarded as an efficient tool.

The proposed virtual laboratory system for digital logic circuits is composed of two main sessions, which are concept-learning session and virtual experiment session by virtual digital kit. During concept-learning session the learners can easily understand the important principles in the digital circuits to be performed. In addition, during virtual laboratory session the virtual experiments are performed by assembling and connecting the circuits on the virtual bread board, applying input voltages, making the output measurements, and comparing and transmitting the virtual experimental data. Every activity done during the virtual laboratory session is recorded on database and will be provided with the learners as a preliminary report form including personal information. Thus, the educators may check out the submitted preliminary report to estimate how well the learners understand the circuit operations. Finally, in order to show the validity of our virtual laboratory system we investigated and analysed the damage rate of real experimental equipment during class and assessed student performance on the five quizzes for one semester.

Background: Radiation is used in a variety of areas, but it also poses potential risks. Although radiation is often used with great effectiveness in many applications, people perceive potential risks associated with radiation and feel anxious about the possibility of radiation exposure. Various methods of measuring radiation doses have been developed, but there is no way for the general public to measure their doses with ease. Currently, many people use smartphones, which provide information about the location of an individual phone through network connections. If a smartphone application could be developed for measuring radiation dosage, it would be a very effective way to measure individuals' radiation doses. Thus, we conducted a survey study to assess the social acceptance of such a technology by the general public and their intent to use that technology to measure radiation doses, as well as to investigate whether such an intention is correlated with anxiety and attitudes toward the use of radiation. Materials and Methods: A nationwide online survey was conducted among 355 Koreans who were 20 years old or older. Results and Discussion: Significant differences were found between the genders in attitudes, perceptions of radiation risk, and fears of exposure to radiation. However, a significant difference according to age was observed only in the intent to use a smartphone dose measurement application. Attitudes towards the use of radiation exerted a negative effect on radiation risk perception and exposure anxiety, whereas attitudes towards the use of radiation, risk perception, and anxiety about exposure were found to have a positive impact on the intent to use a smartphone application for dose measurements. Conclusion: A survey-based study was conducted to investigate how the general public perceives radiation and to examine the acceptability of a smartphone application as a personal dose monitoring device. If such an application is developed, it could be used not only to monitor an individual's dose, but also to contribute to radiation safety information infrastructure by mapping radiation in different areas, which could be utilized as a useful basis for radiation research.

MOLAP is a technology that accelerates multidimensional data analysis by storing data in a multidimensional array and accessing them using their position information. Depending on a mapping scheme of a multidimensional array onto disk, the sliced of MOLAP operations such as slice and dice varies significantly. [1] proposed a MOLAP cube storage scheme that divides a cube into small chunks with equal side length, compresses sparse chunks, and stores the chunks in row-major order of their chunk indexes. This type of cube storage scheme gives a fair chance to all dimensions of the input data. Here, we developed a variant of their cube storage scheme by placing chunks in a different order. Our scheme accelerates slice and dice operations by aligning chunks to physical disk block boundaries and clustering neighboring chunks. Z-indexing is used for chunk clustering. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is evaluated through experiments. We showed that the proposed scheme is efficient for 3~5 dimensional cubes that are frequently used to analyze business data.
