  • The "Rurban" Design is a design concept that can actively preserve and embrace natural terrain and rural resources in an effort to continuously enhance a city, and restore the community that collapsed due to industrialization and unplanned urbanization. The concentration of Seoul Metropolitan area in Korea and the destruction of rural areas and localities caused by the urban sprawl have become a difficult problem for urban development after industrialization. The development of unbalanced growth and the environmental damage remain as issues as well. The tradition and diversity restoration of the New Urbanism paradigm, which was presented in the latter half of the twentieth century, has been an alternative plan for a big city that had experienced industrialization and urbanization at an early phase. However, there is a limit of application to European and North American cities. The philosophical concept of "Rurban Design" is to apply the use of rural elements more directly, and to outline resource conservation, proper consumption, and suitable scale. In all considerations, this will be a practical strategy to complement the limitations of New Urbanism with its design capacity that maximizes the characteristics of the region.

  • Adaptation of operator probabilities is one of the most important and promising issues in evolutionary computation areas. This is because the setting of appropriate probabilities is not only very tedious and difficult but very important to the performance improvement of genetic algorithms. Many researchers have introduced their algorithms for setting or adapting operator probabilities. Experimental results in most previous works, however, have not been satisfiable. Moreover, Tuson have insisted that “the adaptation is not necessarily a good thing” in his papers[$^1$$^2$]. In this paper, we propose a self-tuning scheme for adapting operator probabilities in genetic algorithms. Our scheme was extensively tested on four function optimization problems and one combinational problem; and compared to simple genetic algorithms with constant probabilities and adaptive genetic algorithm proposed by Srinivas et al[$^3$]. Experimental results showed that our scheme was superior to the others. Our scheme compared with previous works has three advantages: less computational efforts, co-evolution without additional operations for evolution of probabilities, and no need of additional parameters.

  • In bone density examinations, a change in the measured BMD occurs owing to the differences between the measured areas. To address this problem, we aimed to develop a new auxiliary device that could be rotated by $15^{\circ}$ by fixing the ankle to the distal femur neck. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of BMD examinations were performed once a year, but 10 patients were examined over three sessions to analyze the area for measuring the femur neck BMD. The goal of this test was to determine the device's reliability, and the results were expressed in terms of the standard deviation of measurements. After performing bone density measurements using the new auxiliary device on 10 normal patients, with three measurements for each patient, the obtained standard deviation was 0.03. The standard deviation of the measured BMD was 0.19 when using the currently existing auxiliary device, while the standard deviation of the measured BMD was 0.03 when using the new auxiliary device. By using the new auxiliary device, the standard deviation could be reduced by ~80%. Accurate rotation of the femur neck was possible in all examinations, and the standard deviation of BMD measurements could be reduced by up to 80% compared with the measurements performed using the currently existing auxiliary device. We hope that this advantageous new design can be used as a standard auxiliary device for measuring the femur neck BMD.

  • Due to summer rainfall is concentrated in the construction of the reservoir and the dam was inevitable. The character of these structures are different from the common rivers have been characterized. According to this problem, we need to adopt to this area with three dimensional model. Construction of dams for preservation of land, utilization of water resources, and exploitation of energy potential, which is a basic element of countries' development, is regarded as indispensable for peoples. In addtion, the development of the Nakdong River nutrient and pathogen Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) required that the full range of pollutants, sources, and flow conditions, typical of heavily urbanized areas, be addressed for a single water body with 1-D simulation model (river) and 3-D simulation model (reservoir). The objective of this study is to simulate the applicability of reservoir with the coupling of 3-D hydrodynamic and water quality models to estimate water balance and pollutant loading in Namgang Dam(Jinyang reservoir).

  • The objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate the dynamic flow curve of metals under impact loading at both high strain rate (.epsilon.=1/h dh/dt > 10$\^$3/m/s/m) and large strain (.epsilon.=In h/h$\_$0/ > 1.0). A test method for dynamic compression of metal disc is described. The velocity of the striker face and the force on the anvil are measured during the impact period. From these primitive data the axial stress, strain, and strain rate of the disc are obtained. The Strain rate is determined by the striker velocity divided by the specimen height. This gives a slightly increasing strain rate over most of the deformation period. Strain rates of 100 to 10,000 per second are achieved. Attainable final strains are 150%. A discussion of several problem areas is presented. The friction on the specimen surfaces, the determination of the frictional coefficient, the influence of the specimen geometry (h$\_$0//d$\_$0/ ratio) on the friction effect, the lock-up condition for a given configuration, the friction correction factor, and the evaluation of several lubricants are given. The flow function(stress verus strain) is dependent on the material condition(e.g., prior cold work), specimen geometry, strain rate, and temperature.

  • This study examined the curriculum deliberation in the home economics historical literature of United State. Out of 13 literature, 9 were carried by academic federation or association and 4 were carried by individual authors. Starting from Catharine Beacher's Treatise on Domestic Economy to NASAFACS's National Standards for Family and Consumer Standards, the background of each document was introduced, curriculum contents organization was examined, and its implication was discussed. The results showed that home economics curriculum has been suggested being organised around key concepts in typical home economics areas throughout the history until the practical problem-focused curriculum organization based on critical science suggested by Majorie M. Brown in 1978. Regardless of the patterns of organization of curriculum contents, home economics pursue the common mission and aims of home economics. Another finding was that curriculum deliberation on the integration of curriculum contents was sought throughout the history.

  • In this study, the quality of blast furnace slag and the engineering properties of recycled aggregate based mortar with variable replacement of blast furnace slag have been focused. Blast furnace slag(BS) manufactured in various areas in Korea were prepared for this study. For the investigation results, 4 types(among the all of 9 types) of the experimental results were identified as below the standard level when using blast furnace slag chosen from different factories. Especially the particle size of the blast furnace slag was considered as the largest problem. When using BS in the recycled aggregates based mortar, the increase amount of blast furnace slag, increased the fluidity but delayed the setting time and decreased strength at early age. Based on the relationship of the amount of BS and the engineering properties of mortar, this study found that the amount of $SO_3$ and L.O.I affect the setting time, 3 days strength and 91 days strength to the certain standard level.
