Purpose: This study was attempted to illuminate danger signals through an extensive analysis of factors influencing adolescents' illicit drug use. On this basis, it built predictive factors of adolescents' illicit drug use. Method: A questionnaire was distributed to 1,238 subjects living in Seoul, and of them 1,082 answers were analyzed using the SAS 8.2 program. Also logistic regression analysis was conducted based on the stepwise selection method for constructing the predictive factors. Results: The findings of this study are as follows. Individual-related factors were psycho-somatic symptoms, self-esteem, fortune delinquent experience, and sexual-violence delinquent experience. Home-related factors were insincerity, threatening and the assessment of the parent (rearer)-adolescent communication type. Society-related factors were affection of friends and friends' attitude toward delinquency. Conclusion: These findings of this study suggest that a broad intervention program should be provided to nurture wholesome youth culture related to illicit drug use. It is also recommended that a variety of individual, home and society-related programs should be developed for drug users.

Toxicogenomics has recently emerged in the field of toxicology and the DNA microarray technique has become common strategy for predictive toxicology which studies molecular mechanism caused by exposure of chemical or environmental stress. Although microarray experiment offers extensive genomic information to the researchers, yet high dimensional characteristic of the data often makes it hard to extract meaningful result. Therefore we developed toxicant enrichment analysis similar to the common enrichment approach. We also developed web-based system graPT to enable considerable prediction of toxic endpoints of experimental chemical.

We aim to build predictive models for Airbnb's prices using a GPU-accelerated RAPIDS in a big data cluster. The Airbnb Listings datasets are used for the predictive analysis. Several machine-learning algorithms have been adopted to build models that predict the price of Airbnb listings. We compare the results of traditional and big data approaches to machine learning for price prediction and discuss the performance of the models. We built big data models using Databricks Spark Cluster, a distributed parallel computing system. Furthermore, we implemented models using multiple GPUs using RAPIDS in the spark cluster. The model was developed using the XGBoost algorithm, whereas other models were developed using traditional central processing unit (CPU)-based algorithms. This study compared all models in terms of accuracy metrics and computing time. We observed that the XGBoost model with RAPIDS using GPUs had the highest accuracy and computing time.

다양한 산업에서 강조되고 있는 정비의 중요성은 각 분야에 다양한 정비전략을 적용하도록 만들었다. 해양산업 역시 그에 따른 정비전략의 변화가 있었으나 타 산업 대비 그 속도가 느려 실제 적용이 되지 않은 채 과거 시행되고 있던 방식을 유지하는 경우가 많다. 특히 선박은 기존에 행해왔던 방식의 정비전략을 사용하고 있는 편이며 해상의 조건에서 선박은 새로운 정비전략의 개발을 필요로 하고있다. 이에 선박예지정비모델은 기기의 정비가 필요한 시점을 예지하여 조치 할 수 있는 정비전략으로서 선박이 항해 중에 처할 수 있는 정비 관련 위험요소들을 줄여 주는 모델이다. 본 연구는 선박예지정비모델의 개발을 위한 연구 중의 하나로서, LNG선박 입거사양서의 텍스트 데이터 분석을 통한 결과를 원문의 내용을 바탕으로 해석해보았다. 공통된 정비항목 조합을 도출하여 선박 내 다른 기기들 사이에 작용하고 있는 상호연관성을 발견하고 이를 앞으로 개발될 선박예지정비모델에 적용하고자 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to validate fall risk assessment scales among hospitalized adult patients in South Korea using the electronic medical records by comparing sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values of Morse Fall Scale (MFS), Bobath Memorial Hospital Fall Risk Assessment Scale (BMFRAS), and Johns Hopkins Hospital Fall Risk Assessment tool (JHFRAT). Methods: A total of 120 patients who experienced fall episodes during their hospitalization from June 2010 to December 2013 was categorized into the fall group. Another 120 patients, who didn't experience fall episodes with age, sex, clinical departments, and the type of wards matched with the fall group, were categorized to the comparison group. Data were analyzed for the comparisons of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and the area under the curve of the three tools. Results: MFS at a cut-off score of 48 had .806 for ROC curves, 76.7% for sensitivity, 77.5% for specificity, 77.3% for positive predictive value, and 76.9% for negative predictive value, which were the highest values among the three fall assessment scales. Conclusion: The MFS with the highest score and the highest discrimination was evaluated to be suitable and reasonable for predicting falls of inpatients in med-surg units of university hospitals.

This paper presents a model predictive control for shunt active power filters in synchronous reference frame using space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM). The three phase load currents are transformed into synchronous rotating reference frame in order to reduce the order of the control system. The proposed current controller calculates reference current command for harmonic current components in synchronous frame. The fundamental load current components are transformed into dc components revealing only the harmonics. The predictive current controller will add robustness and fast compensation to generate commands to the SVPWM which minimizes switching frequency while maintaining fast harmonic compensation. By using the model predictive control, the optimal switching state to be applied to the next sampling time is selected. The filter current contains only the harmonic components, which are the reference compensating currents. In this method the supply current will be equal to the fundamental component of load current and a part of the current at fundamental frequency for losses of the inverter. Mathematical analysis and the feasibility of the suggested approach are verified through simulation results under steady state and transient conditions for non-linear load. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is confirmed through experimental validation.

A model predictive controller is designed to control thermal power in a nuclear reactor. The basic concept of the model predictive control is to solve an optimization problem for finite future time steps at current time, to implement only the first optimal control input among the solved control inputs, and to repeat the procedure at each subsequent instant. A controller design model used for designing the model predictive controller is estimated every time step by applying a recursive parameter estimation algorithm. A 3-dimensional nuclear reactor analysis code, MASTER that was developed by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), was used to verify the proposed controller for a nuclear reactor. It was known that the nuclear power controlled by the proposed controller well tracks the desired power level and the desired axial power distribution.

The conventional model predictive direct torque control (MPDTC) method uses all of the voltage vectors available from a two level voltage source inverter for the prediction of the stator flux and stator current, which leads to a heavy computational burden. This paper proposes an improved model predictive direct torque control method. The stator flux predictive controller is obtained from an analysis of the relationship between the stator flux and the torque, which can be used to calculate the desired voltage vector based on the stator flux and torque reference. Then this method only needs to evaluate three voltage vectors in the sector of the desired voltage vector. As a result, the computational burden of the conventional MPDTC is effectively reduced. The time delay introduced by the computational time causes the stator current to oscillate around its reference. It also increases the current and torque ripples. To address this problem, a delay compensation method is adopted in this paper. Furthermore, the switching frequency of the inverter is significantly reduced by introducing the constraint of the power semiconductor switching number to the cost function of the MPDTC. Both simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.

사회적 혼란을 야기하는 이벤트는 발생 직후 어떻게 대응하느냐에 따라 소요되는 비용의 편차가 크다. 이에 따라 비정상적인 이벤트를 탐지하고 의미를 파악하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 또한 예측 분석에 관한 연구도 많이 수행되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 이벤트의 전체적인 미래 경향에 대한 수치 결과를 예측할 뿐, 이벤트가 내포하는 의미에 대한 예측 연구는 미비하다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 비정상적인 이벤트가 내포하는 토픽의 조합을 통해 미래에 어떠한 일이 발생할 수 있는지에 대한 시각적 예측 분석 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 먼저 트윗에서 실시간으로 비정상 이벤트를 탐지한다. 그 다음 과거 유사한 사례를 탐색한 다음 이벤트와 관련된 토픽들을 추출한다. 마지막으로 사용자는 의미 있는 토픽의 조합을 통해 미래에 어떠한 일이 발생할 수 있을지 분석할 수 있다. 실험은 두 가지 상황에 대한 예측 분석을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.
