Damage caused by an earthquake depends on not just the intensity of an earthquake but also the region-specific construction practices. Past earthquakes in Asian countries have highlighted inadequate construction practices, which caused huge life and property losses, indicating the severe need to strengthen existing structures. Strengthening activities shall be proposed as per the proposed weighting factors, first at the higher weighted members to increase the capacity of the building immediately and thereafter, the other members. Through this study on gravity load-designed (GLD) buildings, relative weights are assigned to each storey and exterior and interior columns within a storey based on their contribution to the energy dissipation capacity of the building. The numerical study is conducted on mid-rise archetype GLD buildings, i.e., 4, 6, 8, and 10 stories with variable storey heights, in the high seismic zones. Non-linear static analysis is performed to compute weights based on energy dissipation capacities. The results obtained are verified with the non-linear time history analysis of 4 GLD buildings. It was observed that exterior columns have higher weightage in the energy dissipation capacity of the building than interior columns up to a certain building height. The damage in stories is distributed in a convex to concave parabolic shape from bottom to top as building height increases, and the maxima location of the parabola shifts from bottom to middle stories. Relative weighting factors are assigned as per the damage contribution. And the sequence for strengthening activities is proposed as per the computed weighting factors in descending order for regular RCC buildings. Therefore, proposals made in the study would increase the efficacy of strengthening activities.

This study aims to develop an evaluation method of green-tourism potential in village level with amenity resources of rural villages, considering human resources of the village. The amenity resources evaluation system was classified into three sub-classes with social, industrial, and natural resources. The system consisted of a relationship diagram between three classes resources and tourists' behavior. The new methodology considers human resources as a key factor for green-tourism potential evaluation of villages, including the amenity resources of three sub-classes. In quantitative method for the criteria, this study adopted a new method of continuous linear score method, which is applying fuzzy theory, not to give score with the existing discrete scoring method with several steps. The weighting values of the evaluation criteria were calculated from the step wise pair-comparision results by AHP(Analytic Hierachy Process) method, which industrial, natural, and social resources have relative weighting values of 523/1000, 319/1000, and 158/1000, respectively. In evaluation of another weighting value by the same methodology, the results showed that the amenity and the human resources have weighting values of 627/100 and 373/1000, respectively. The new evaluation method was applied to make the potential evaluation for rural villages of the study area, which located on Narial-myun, Keumsan-gun, Chungnam province. The development priority among the villages could be suggested reasonably by the new findings of this study, according to the evaluation results showing that the village with high possibility for development in green-tourism has high score in the potential evaluation.

The innovative intelligent fuzzy weighted input estimation method which efficiently and robustly estimates the unknown time-varying input force in on-line is presented in this paper. The algorithm includes the Kalman Filter (KF) and the recursive least square estimator (RLSE), which is weighted by the fuzzy weighting factor proposed based on the fuzzy logic inference system. To directly synthesize the Kalman filter with the estimator, this work presents an efficient robust forgetting zone, which is capable of providing a reasonable compromise between the tracking capability and the flexibility against noises. The capability of this inverse method are demonstrated in the input force estimation cases of the plate structure system. The proposed algorithm is further compared by alternating between the constant and adaptive weighting factors. The results show that this method has the properties of faster convergence in the initial response, better target tracking capability, and more effective noise and measurement bias reduction.

The environmental differences between training and testing mode are generally considered to be the critical factor for the performance degradation in speaker recognition systems. Especially, general speaker recognition systems try to get as clean speech as possible to train the speaker model, but it's not true in real testing phase due to environmental and channel noise. So in this paper, the new method of weighting the frame-based likelihood according to frame SNR is proposed in order to cope with that problem. That is to make use of the deep correlation between speech SNR and speaker discrimination rate. To verify the usefulness of this proposed method, it is applied to the context dependent speaker identification system. And the experimental results with the cellular phone speech DB which is designed by ETRI for Koran speaker recognition show that the proposed method is effective and increase the identification accuracy by 11% at maximum.

본 논문에서는 향후 초고속 W-PAN(Wireless Personal Area Network)을 위한 유력한 전송 기술로서 각광받고 있는 MB-OFDM UWB(Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wide Band) 시스템의 동기화를 위한 효과적인 반송파 및 샘플링 주파수 오프셋 결합 추정 기법을 제시하고 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 PLCP(Physical Layer Convergence Procedure) 프리앰블 내의 채널 추정 시퀀스를 이용하고 MB-OFDM UWB 시스템 기술 규격 및 주파수 운용 방식을 고려하였으며, 반송파와 샘플링 주파수 오프셋을 결합 추정하는 방법으로서 먼저 샘플링 주파수 오프셋을 추정하고 추정된 샘플링 주파수 오프셋을 이용하여 반송파 주파수 오프셋을 추정하는 방식을 적용하였다. 또한 추정된 오프셋 값들의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 각 과정에서 가중치 기반의 주파수 오프셋 추정 기법을 사용하였다. IEEE 802.15 Task Group 3a에서 제공하는 4가지 UWB 실내 채널 모델을 이용한 모의실험 결과, 각 부채널에서의 수신 신호 평균 전력을 반영하는 제안된 간단한 형태의 가중치 기반 추정 기법의 성능이 채널의 주파수 응답을 사용하여 완벽한 채널 추정을 필요로 하는 이상적인 방법에 비해 훨씬 낮은 복잡도로 유사한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

This paper introduces experimental results of the ride qulaity characteristics of automotive seats fixed on the vibration table that is noving simultaneously to the three-axis in a similar way to the real running condition. Vibration experiment was carried out for five different automotive seats and four Korean individuals. The assessment of the ride quality characteristics for each seat and indiviual was made not only from the analysis of vibration measurements but also from the evaluation of weighied vibration signals, which were obtained using the frequency weighting function and the multiplication factor dependent on the position and axis of vibration exposure to wehole-body. The usefulness of those assessment results in analysis of the ride quality of seats is discussed and their limitation is also pointed out in this paper.

In this paper, the direct and indirect neural adaptive controller are combined based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach. The proposed adaptive controller is constructed from RBF neural network and a set of fuzzy IF-THEN rules. And the weighting parameters are adjusted on-line according to some adaptation law for the purpose of controlling the plant to track a given trajectory. In this scheme, fuzzy IF-THEN rules are used to decide the combined weighting factor. It is shown that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly bounded under mild assumptions. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated through the control of one-link rigid robotics manipulator.

This work presents a numerical procedure to optimize the shape of three-dimensional channel with angled ribs mounted on one of the walls to enhance turbulent heat transfer. The response surface method is used as an optimization technique with Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis of flow and heat transfer. SST turbulence model is used as a turbulence closure. The width-to-height ratio of the rib, rib height-to-channel height ratio, pitch-to-rib height ratio and attack angle of the rib are chosen as design variables. The objective function is defined as a linear combination of heat-transfer and friction-loss related terms with weighting factor. D-optimal experimental design method is used to determine the data points. Optimum shapes of the channel have been obtained for the weighting factors in the range from 0.0 to 1.0.
