Energy-saving is one of important issues in multi-family housing projects in South Korea. According to the study by Yu et al. (2002), the balcony conversion causes energy loss approximately one and a half times. Therefore, it is important to select the economical glass type in the balcony window. In order to identify the most economical glass type of balcony conversion in multi-family housing projects, the most typical type of the multifamily housing projects in the metropolitan area was selected as a candidate project. The selected candidate project has been simulated using ENERGY-10 program to estimate the heat load by the different five types of glasses as well as their life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) using present worth method. Finally, sensitivity analysis has been conducted to determine the most economical glass types under a different discount rate (interest rate) and service life of building.

This study attempts to analyze the characteristics and changing trends of the interior design of modern Korean houses since 1960s and to understand the impacts of Western architecture and design. the photos of 101 houses were selected from the magazines published since 1960s. The data collected were analyzed via frequency percentage and average. The result reveals that the interior design of the living rooms in modern Korean houses has undergone lots of changes in finishing materials window treatments types of cabinets and use of lighting fixtures. It is concluded that 1960-1960s is a period of introducing Western design as a superior while 1980's is a period of exploring various ways toward harmony between Korean style and Western styles and 1990's is a period of settlement of koreanized modernism style.

In this paper, a new edge-based segmentation algorithm for range image using pseudo reflectance images (PRIs) is proposed. A model of pseudo reflectance which is useful in analyzing three dimensional scene and objects is introduced and then three PRIs are generated by the model. For generating three PRIs, bels and jain's differential window operator is selected and three different light source directions are determined. Three edge images are extracted from each PRI and a fused (logical ORing) edge image is constructed for the benefit of enhanced edge formation. The final segmentation results of the proposed algoritm are obtained after the processing of thinning, labeling and correcting erroeneous regions with the fused edge image. The good performance of edge detection and segmentation is confirmed via computer simulation with synthetic and real range images.

Short column effect is cause to failure of columns which may result in severe damages or even collapse during earthquakes. The scope of the study is mainly to reveal the effect of short column on the holistic behaviour of the buildings. The nonlinear analysis of 31 different frame buildings containing short column problem are carried out using finite element method. The finite element models were selected by 2 bays and 3 stories. Since the short columns are generally seen in the first storey of the buildings, in the study, they are only constructed in the same storey. The adverse effect of the short column on the response of buildings was shown in terms of the total load factor and displacement capacity of building. The response of buildings in terms of ground storey displacements is presented in figures and discussed. It is revealed that if the window openings are constructed along the bays, the total load capacity is decreased 85% compared with reference model in which all of bays are filled with infill walls.

Most research on high-rise housing has focused on low-income residences, and usually the psychological and social well-being of women and children. The validity of such findings are questionable for other populations since high-rise living has served other groups and their various needs in particular settings. Lack of knowledge and understanding about high-rises has represented an obstacle to the accurate representation of American urban reality in residential environments. The review of literature and factor analysis identified Important environmental factors. The survey was conducted in the selected downtown high-rise communities of major U.S. cities. Analyses revealed that there were unique characteristics of residents who prefer to live in this type of housing. It was also found that living in middle-income urban high-rise condominiums does not contribute significantly to the problems associated with high-rise living itself. Even though there were some deficiencies of social interaction and activities among residents, the middle-income condominiums were serving particular residents as maintenance-free and safe place imprinted by a positive image of sweet memories or sometimes by a window view presiding over downtown skyline.

We developed the experimental function (ERF) which can be used for the numerical curve fitting analysis in photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). We selected the core-levels of Ag 3d5/2 and Au 4f7/2 to obtain the ERF from the measured core-level spectra. For the numerical fourier transformation we applied the fast transform (FFT) algorithm. we considered optical (Wiener) filtering with the FFT due to noise and used Hann window function to remedy the information leakage in frequency domain due to discrete and finite sampling of measurement. The comparison of the curve fitting results using the ERF obtained in this work and the mathematical response function with a gaussian in the conventional approach shows clearly the improvement of the curve fitting analysis.

In this paper, we implemented a loom component to be placed in a window and a looms management system which is able to connect database and to process various queries. The implemented system has aggregate query p개cessing functions for the loom components existing in the selected area by the mouse and it also has high level query processing functions represented with chart and pivot table; it can be used as a decision support system. The proposed system can detect temporal or persistent problems of the looms. Therefore it can be used to raise the productivity and to reduce the cost in textile companies by coping with the situation properly.

A computer vision system was developed to automatically detect and locate the oyster hinge line, one step in shucking an oyster. The computer vision system consisted of a personal computer, a color frame grabber, a color CCD video camera with a zoom lens, two video monitor, a specially designed fixture to hold the oyster, a lighting system to illuminate the oyster and the system software. The software consisted of a combination of commercially available programs and custom designed programs developed using the Microsoft CTM . Test results showed that the image resolution was the most important variable influencing hinge detection efficiency. Whether or not the trimmed -off-flat-white surface area was dry or wet, the oyster size relative to the image size selected , and the image processing methods used all influenced the hinge locating efficiency. The best computer software and hardware combination used successfully located 97% of the oyster hinge lines tested. This efficienc was achieve using camera field of view of 1.9 by 1.5cm , a 180 by 170 pixel image window, and a dry trimmed -off oyster hinge end surface.

This paper discusses jLogic, a mathematical logic education software developed by the author. jLogic is basically a MS-Windows based software that can construct first-order models, formulas and thet their satisfiablity. Logical formulas are easily input by a "keyboard" maintained by jLogic. A special finite model, called the "Toy World" can be visually cinstructed and modified. The user is supposed to answer the following 3 questions about the selected logical expression: 1. Is it a grammatically correct logical formula? 2. Is it a sentence that has a definite truth value? 3. Is th sentence true or false? When the user inputs his answer in the "Inspector window" and then presses the OK button, jLogic instantly tests the validity of the answer and tells the user the result. jLogic is freely downloaded from http://gauss.kyungpook.ac.kr/~jlogic/

This study expands limitation of OASIS(Optimal Allocation of Spares for Initial Supports) program, which calculates CSP(Concurrent Spare Part), not only availability but also cost, and developed the program enabling run in WINDOW OS. By considering multi-step repair and logistics support system, repairing capability at the time of deployment, and procurement period, this model is the first local model reflecting circumstances of the armed forces of the Republic of Korea. Furthermore, the programmed model was selected as the military standard software and has being essentially used for CSP calculation.
