Bridges constantly undergo deterioration and damage, the most common ones being concrete damage and exposed rebar. Periodic inspection of bridges to identify damages can aid in their quick remediation. Likewise, identifying components can provide context for damage assessment and help gauge a bridge's state of interaction with its surroundings. Current inspection techniques rely on manual site visits, which can be time-consuming and costly. More recently, robotic inspection assisted by autonomous data analytics based on Computer Vision (CV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been viewed as a suitable alternative to manual inspection because of its efficiency and accuracy. To aid research in this avenue, this study performs a comparative assessment of different architectures, loss functions, and ensembling strategies for the autonomous segmentation of bridge components and damages. The experiments lead to several interesting discoveries. Nested Reg-UNet architecture is found to outperform five other state-of-the-art architectures in both damage and component segmentation tasks. The architecture is built by combining a Nested UNet style dense configuration with a pretrained RegNet encoder. In terms of the mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) metric, the Nested Reg-UNet architecture provides an improvement of 2.86% on the damage segmentation task and 1.66% on the component segmentation task compared to the state-of-the-art UNet architecture. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that incorporating the Lovasz-Softmax loss function to counter class imbalance can boost performance by 3.44% in the component segmentation task over the most employed alternative, weighted Cross Entropy (wCE). Finally, weighted softmax ensembling is found to be quite effective when used synchronously with the Nested Reg-UNet architecture by providing mIoU improvement of 0.74% in the component segmentation task and 1.14% in the damage segmentation task over a single-architecture baseline. Overall, the best mIoU of 92.50% for the component segmentation task and 84.19% for the damage segmentation task validate the feasibility of these techniques for autonomous bridge component and damage segmentation using RGB images.

The development of a Web-based powertrain performance simulation system is introduced. The development approach of system architecture and each module is introduced along with the H/W and S/W used. The interface with all users is developed via a JAVA Applet. The powertrain modeling and other job history data of a user is managed systematically on the server by database to increase the reusability of the data. A self-developed program using object-oriented programming is used as a solver for the performance simulation. The graph tool for the analysis of simulation results has the collaboration support developed based on JAVA so that synchronous users can view the same result. As a result, the powertrain simulation is possible only with Web-browser for the user and the collaboration support among the relevant engineers is possible.

This paper describes 16-point FFT processor using systolic array and its implementation into VLSI. Designed FFT processor executes FFT/IFFT arithmetic under mode control and consists of cell array, array controller and input/output buffer memory. For design for testibility, we added built-in self test circuit into designed FFT processor. To verify designed 16-point FFT processor, logic simulation was performed by YSLOG on MICRO-VAXII. From the simulation results, it is estimated that the proposed FFT processor can perform 16-point FFT in about 4400[ns].

The paper explores the potential of applicability of Genetic programming approach (GP), adopted in this investigation, to model the combined effects of five independent variables to predict the mini-slump, the plate cohesion meter, the induced bleeding test, the J-fiber penetration value, and the compressive strength at 7 and 28 days of self-compacting slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON). The variables investigated were the proportions of limestone powder (LSP) and sand, the dosage rates of superplasticiser (SP) and viscosity modifying agent (VMA), and water-to-binder ratio (W/B). Twenty eight mixtures were made with 10-50% LSP as replacement of cement, 0.02-0.06% VMA by mass of cement, 0.6-1.2% SP and 50-150% sand (% mass of binder) and 0.42-0.48 W/B. The proposed genetic models of the self-compacting SIFCON offer useful modelling approach regarding the mix optimisation in predicting the fluidity, the cohesion, the bleeding, the penetration, and the compressive strength.

교육시스템에 관한 논문에는 개발관련문서에 있는 방대한 양의 요약.정리되며, 일반사용자를 대상으로 사용자인터페이스를 설명하는 것이 아니라 이론적 근거와 개발과정 그리고 교육적 효과와 같은 시스템 전반에 관한 기술적.교육적 내용을 담고 있다. 시스템 개발에 직접 참여하지 못한 사람들이 교육시스템을 이해하는데 있어서, 교육시스템의 목적과 전체구조를 우선적으로 명료하게 제시하는 것은 효과적이며 중요한 일이다. 그러므로 교육시스템을 설명할 때, 시스템의 목적은 물론 구성요소와 이들의 관계를 명시한 다음, 하위 구성요소의 세부적인 기능과 구조, 교육이론과의 관련 등을 명확하게 기술하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 교육시스템의 전체 구조를 명확하게 표현하기 위하여 교육시스템의 표준구조를 구성요소 측면에서 제시하였다. 이 표준구조는 H/W, S/W, 인적요소와 기술 그리고 상호작용이라는 5가지 요소로 구성되어 있으며, 교육시스템의 이해나 교육시스템간의 객관적 비교를 가능하게 할 뿐만 아니라 교육시스템의 분석이나 개선을 위한 준거가 될 수 있다.

The clear and specific objective of this study is to design a false news discriminator algorithm for news articles transmitted on a text-based basis and an architecture that builds it into a system (H/W configuration with Hadoop-based in-memory technology, Deep Learning S/W design for bigdata and SNS linkage). Based on learning data on actual news, the government will submit advanced "fake news" test data as a result and complete theoretical research based on it. The need for research proposed by this study is social cost paid by rumors (including malicious comments) and rumors (written false news) due to the flood of fake news, false reports, rumors and stabbings, among other social challenges. In addition, fake news can distort normal communication channels, undermine human mutual trust, and reduce social capital at the same time. The final purpose of the study is to upgrade the study to a topic that is difficult to distinguish between false and exaggerated, fake and hypocrisy, sincere and false, fraud and error, truth and false.

경상남도 창녕군 이방면을 대상으로 토지이용 제한인자인 홍수피해, 토양침식 그리고 휴경 잠재성을 종합한 토지평가에 따라 조건불리지역으로 선정된 지역에 대하여 경관복원을 위한 제언을 하고, 이를 바탕으로 경관복원 전후의 경관구조 비교를 통하여 경관개선 효과를 평가하였는데, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 토지평가 결과 연구지역 내 농경지 면적 2,924.34ha 중 1급지는 388.560a, 2급지는 623.25ha존재하였고, 3급지는 138.08ha, 4급지는 230.4ha, 그리고 5급지는 67.91ha 존재하였다. 이 중 3급지와 4급지에 해당하는 지역은 조건불리지역으로 간주하여 경관개선을 위한 제안을 하였다. 둘째, 침수잠재성을 가진 조건불리지역은 습지와 그 완충지역으로의 복원을 제안하였고, 이 때 복원대상 토지의 소유주에게는 경관보전직접지불제에 의한 보상이 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 토양침식잠재성을 가진 조건불리지 역 의 경우, 초생재배, 대상식생, 잠재자연식생으로의 전환을 통한 지력보강 방법을 제안하였다. 셋째, 조건불리지역의 경관복원에 대한 제안에 따라 경관복원 전후의 경관구조를 평가한 결과, 산림은 그 패치의 수, 경관비율, 최대패치지수, 경관형태지수, 산재 병렬지수, 그리고 핵심지역 면적에서 모두 증가한 반면, 논 밭과 과수원에서는 패치수, 경관형태지수를 제외한 대부분의 지수에서 감소하는 것으로 확인하였다. 우리나라 산림은 과거 농업이 경쟁력을 가질 당시에 지나치게 확장되어 현재 홍수피해, 휴경 등 여러 가지 열악한 여건을 가지고 있으므로 이를 개선하기 위한 노력이 필요하다고 보며, 그런 의미에서 본 연구가 나름의 의미가 있다고 사료된다.

Artificial intelligence relies on data-driven analysis, and the data processing performance strongly depends on factors such as memory capacity, bandwidth, and latency. Fast and large-capacity memory can be achieved by composing numerous high-performance memory units connected via high-performance interconnects, such as Compute Express Link (CXL). CXL is designed to enable efficient communication between central processing units, memory, accelerators, storage, and other computing resources. By adopting CXL, a composable computing architecture can be implemented, enabling flexible server resource configuration using a pool of computing resources. Thus, manufacturers are actively developing hardware and software solutions to support CXL. We present a survey of the latest software for CXL memory utilization and the most recent CXL memory emulation software. The former supports efficient use of CXL memory, and the latter offers a development environment that allows developers to optimize their software for the hardware architecture before commercial release of CXL memory devices. Furthermore, we review key technologies for improving the performance of both the CXL memory pool and CXL-based composable computing architecture along with various use cases.
