Computational simulations of turbulent flows around a model ship have been performed to investigate an influence of TVD schemes on the accuracy of advective terms associated with ship resistances. Several TVD schemes including upwind, second-order upwind, vanLeer, and QUICK as well as a nonTVD linear scheme were studied by examining temporal and spatial characteristics of accuracy transition in adjacent cells to the hull. Even though vanLeer scheme was the most accurate among TVD schemes in both structured and unstructured grid systems, the ratio of accuracy switch from 2^nd order to 1^st order in vanLeer scheme was considerable compared with the 2^nd order linear scheme. Also, the accuracy transition was observed to be overally scattered in the unstructured grid while the accuracy transition in the structured grid appeared relatively clustered. It concluded that TVD schemes had to be carefully used in computational simulations of turbulent flows around a model ship due to the loss of accuracy despite its attraction of numerical stability.

In this research, in order to more concretely define the concept of the previously vaguely defined fire road, the authors propose new terminology called disaster prevention routes. These are defined as predefined access routes for the quick response to disaster areas. For this, the authors suggest selection techniques for disaster prevention routes considering characteristics of fire trucks and selected areas. The paper also includes legally-based ideas for the executive departments with exclusive responsibility for continuous management and supervision of disaster response. In addition, a case study is performed with a virtual scenario including the outbreak of fire in one borough of Seoul. This case study shows that the damage can be decreased by prompt access of fire trucks. The establishment of predefined access routes to disaster areas can help to protect citizens with more rapid response by emergency crews. Indirect benefits also include reduced congestion of roads through the prohibition of parking and stopping on the chosen roads.

Artillery fire power due to effectiveness which is hard to predict well-planned and surprising attack can give a fear and shock to the personnel and is a very core weapon system and takes a critical role in wartime. Therefore in order to maximize operational effectiveness, Army required protecting artillery and takes a quick attack action through rapid construction of artillery's positions. The artillery use artillery's position to prevent exposure by moving to other position frequently. They have to move and construct at new artillery's positions quickly against exposing existed place by foe's recognition. These positions should be built by not manpower but engineering construction equipment. Because artillery positions have to protect human and artillery equipment well and build quickly. Military engineering battalion have lots of construction equipment which include excavator, loader, dozer, combat multi-purposed excavator, armored combat earthmover dump truck and so on. So they have to decide to optimal number of Team combining these equipments and determine construction sequence of artillery's position in operational plan. In this research, we propose to decide number of Team efficiently and allocate required construction's positions for each Team under constraints of limited equipments and time. To do so, we develop efficient heuristic method which can give near optimal solution and be applied to various situation including commander's intention, artillery position's priority or grouping etc. This heuristic can support quick and flexible construction plan of artillery positions not only for using various composition's equipment to organize Teams but also for changing quantity of positions.

Pressure oscillation caused by the compressibility of entrapped air in dam break flow is analyzed using an open source code, which is a two-phase compressible code for non-isothermal immiscible fluids. Since compressible flows are computed based on a pressure-based method, the code can handle the equation of state of barotropic fluid, which is virtually incompressible. The computed time variation of pressure is compared with other experimental and computational results. The present result shows good agreements with other results until the air is entrapped. As the entrapped air bubbles pulsate, pressure oscillations are predicted and the pressure oscillations damp out quickly. Although the compressibility parameter of water has been varied for a wide range, it has no effects on the computed results, because the present equation of state for water is so close to that of incompressible fluid. Grid independency test for computed time variation of pressure shows that all results predict similar period of pressure oscillation and quick damping out of the oscillation, even though the amplitude of pressure oscillation is sensitive to the velocity field at the moment of the entrapping. It is observed that as pressure inside the entrapped air changes quickly, the pressure field in the neighboring water adjusts instantly, because the sound of speed is much higher in water. It is confirmed that the period of pressure oscillation is dominated by the added mass of neighboring water. It is found that the temperature oscillation of the entrapped air is critical to the quick damping out of the oscillations, due to the fact that the time averaged temperature inside the entrapped air is higher than that of surrounding water, which is almost constant.

This paper proposes a face detection method using Free Rectangle feature which possesses a quick execution time and a high efficiency. The proposed mask of Free Rectangle feature is composed of two separable rectangles with the same area. In order to increase the feature diversity, Haar-like feature generally uses a complex mask composed of two or more rectangles. But the proposed feature mask can get a lot of very efficient features according to any position and scale of two rectangles on the feature window. Moreover, the Free Rectangle feature can largely reduce the execution time since it is defined as the only difference of the sum of pixels of two rectangles irrespective of the mask type. Since it yields a quick detection speed and good detection rates on real world images, the proposed face detection method based on Adaboost algorithm is easily applied to detect another object by changing the training dataset.

The Rational Function Model has been used as a replacement sensor model in most commercial photogrammetric systems due to its capability of maintaining the accuracy of the physical sensor models. Although satellite images with rational polynomial coefficients have been used to determine three-dimensional position, it has limitations in the accuracy for large scale topographic mapping. In this study, high resolution stereo satellite images, QuickBird-2, were used to investigate how much the three-dimensional position accuracy was affected by the No. of ground control points, polynomial order, and distribution of GCPs. As the results, we can confirm that these experiments satisfy the accuracy requirements for horizontal and height position of 1:25,000 map scale.

In this study, a field model experiment was performed to analyze the bahavior of slope during failure. It was analyzed through x-MR control chart method with inverse displacement and K-value. As a result, the portent was confirmed at 4 minutes before slope failure in Case 1. The change of the control limit line according to moving range was analyzed and it was effective to apply K = 3. Use of the inverse displacement and x-MR control chart method will be useful for the prediction of abnormal behavior through quick and objective judgment. Prediction of slope failure using control chart method can be used as basic data of slope measurement management standard, and it can contribute in reduction of life and property damage caused by slope disaster.

The clustering of gene expression data is used to analyze the results of microarray studies. This clustering is one of the frequently used methods in understanding degrees of biological change and gene expression. In biological research, MCL algorithm is an algorithm that clusters nodes within a graph, and is quick and efficient. We have modified the existing MCL algorithm and applied it to microarray data. In applying the MCL algorithm we put forth a simulation that adjusts two factors, namely inflation and diagonal tent and converted them by making use of Markov matrix. Furthermore, in order to distinguish class more clearly in the modified MCL algorithm we took the average of each row and used it as a threshold. Therefore, the improved algorithm can increase accuracy better than the existing ones. In other words, in the actual experiment, it showed an average of 70% accuracy when compared with an existing class. We also compared the MCL algorithm with the self-organizing map(SOM) clustering, K-means clustering and hierarchical clustering (HC) algorithms. And the result showed that it showed better results than ones derived from hierarchical clustering and K-means method.

As following the development of the USN technology, sensor node used in sensor network has capability of quick data process and storage to support efficient network configuration is enabled. In addition, tree-based structure was transformed to cluster in the construction of sensor network. However, query processing based on existing tree structure could be inefficient under the cluster-based network. In this paper, we suggest energy efficient query processing mechanism using filtering through data attribute classification in cluster-based sensor network. The suggestion mechanism use advantage of cluster-based network so reduce energy of query processing and designed more intelligent query dissemination. And, we prove excellence of energy efficient side with MATLab.

Virtualization has become one of the most helpful techniques in computing systems, and today it is prevalent in several computing environments including desktops, data-centers, and enterprises. However, since I/O layers are implemented to be oblivious to the I/O behaviors on virtual machines (VM), there still exists an I/O scalability issue in virtualized systems. In particular, when a multi-queue solid state drive (SSD) is used as a secondary storage, each system reveals a semantic gap that degrades the overall performance of the VM. This is due to two key problems, accelerated lock contentions and the I/O parallelism issue. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, including the design of virtual CPU (vCPU)-dedicated queues and I/O threads, which efficiently distributes the lock contentions and addresses the parallelism issue of Virtio-blk-data-plane in virtualized environments. Our approach is based on the above principle, which allocates a dedicated queue and an I/O thread for each vCPU to reduce the semantic gap. Our experimental results with various I/O traces clearly show that our design improves the I/O operations per second (IOPS) in virtualized environments by up to 155% over existing QEMU-based systems.
