이미지를 이용한 도공층 구조 분석은 도공층의 실제 Morphology를 분석하여 평가하는 방법으로서 최근 세밀한 도공층 구조 분석을 위해 이 방법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 이러한 방법은 수은압입법(Mercury intrusion)이나 질소흡착법 (Nitrogen adsorption by BJH theory) 등과 같은 기존의 공극 특성 평가 방법과 달리 pore aspect ratio 및 orientation 등과 같은 공극 dimension을 평가할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 공극 dimension은 size distribution 및 porosity와 더불어 인쇄, 라미네이션 접착 등과 같은 Liquid interfacial 및 침투 측면에서 중요한 요소이기 때문에 이를 평가하기 위한 적합한 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 또, 원지 부분과 도공층 간의 경계를 명확하게 보여주고 Surface와 Cross-section 영역을 구분하여 평가 할 수 있어 더 명확한 평가를 가능하게 한다. 본 연구에서는 이미지 분석을 통해 도공액 구성 조건에 따른 도공층의 공극 구조 특성을 평가 하였고 일부 요소에 대해서는 수은 압입법과 비교 평가하여 이미지 분석법과의 상관성에 대해 고찰 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 FE (Field Emission)-SEM은 일반 SEM과 달리 전압에 의한 높은 전기장의 형성을 통해 저 가속 전압으로 이미지를 구현하는 장비로서 본 연구에서는 FE-SEM을 통해 도공층의 세밀한 Morphology와 공극 구조 이미지를 구현할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influences of virtual hitch point (VHP) positions of a three-point hitch on the steering stability of agricultural tractors. The VHP locations were determined analytically from the linkage geometry and implement posture during the normal tillage operations. The maximum force applicable to the VHP was also determined under the given soil and power constraints. From these possible ranges of the VHP locations, a safe region for steering control was determined theoretically by using maximum applicable forces for the given tractor and implement combinations. With VHP positions within the safe region, tractor can maintain the minimum soil reaction forces, assumed 20% of the total tractor weight in this study, at the front wheels which is required for the steering control under the maximum traction conditions. This paper mainly concerns with mathematical developments for the determination of VHP locations and maximum forces applicable to the VHP for steering control. Experimental validation of the theory developed here follows as the second part of this study.

The article presents the statistical method of grouping the results of the compressive strength of concrete in continuous production. It describes the method of dividing the series of compressive strength results into batches of statistically stable strength parameters at specific time intervals, based on the standardized concept of "concrete family". The article presents the examples of calculations made for two series of concrete strength results, from which sets of decreased strength parameters were separated. When assessing the quality of concrete elements and concrete road surfaces, the principal issue is the control of the compressive strength parameters of concrete. Large quantities of concrete mix manufactured in a continuous way should be subject to continuous control. Standardized approach to assessing the concrete strength proves to be insufficient because it does not allow for the detection of subsets of the decreased strength results, which in turn makes it impossible to make adjustments to the concrete manufacturing process and to identify particular product or area on site with decreased concrete strength. In this article two independent methods of grouping the test results of concrete with statistically stable strength parameters were proposed, involving verification of statistical hypothesis based on statistical tests: Student's t-test and Mann - Whitney - U test.

Soils consist of an assemblage of particles with different sizes and shapes which form a skeleton whose voids are filled with water and air. Hence, soil behaviour must be analyzed by incorporating the effects of the transient flow of the pore-fluid through the voids, and therefore requires a two-phase continuum formulation for saturated porous media. The present paper presents briefly the Biot's basic theory of dynamics of saturated porous media with u-P formulation to determine the responses of pore fluid and soil skeleton during cyclic loading. Kelvin elements are attached to transmitting boundary. The Pastor-Zienkiewicz-Chan model has been used to describe the inelastic behavior of soils under isotropic cyclic loadings. Newmark-Beta method is employed to discretize the time domain. The response of fluid-saturated porous media which are subjected to time dependent loads has been simulated numerically to predict the liquefaction potential of a semi-infinite saturated sandy layer using finite-infinite elements. A settlement of 17.1 cm is observed at top surface. It is also noticed that liquefaction occurs at shallow depth. The mathematical advantage of the coupled finite element analysis is that the excess pore pressure and displacement can be evaluated simultaneously without using any empirical relationship.

This paper is concerned with Korean students' attitudes towards robots, presenting two survey studies. The first study was concerned with a group of college students, taking the perspective of international comparison. Data were collected by administering an online survey, where 106 volunteer students had participated. In the survey, the Negative Attitude towards Robot Scale(NARS) was adopted to compare the Korean students' scores with those of multi-national groups (U.S.A, Germany, Netherland, Japan, Mexico, and China) who responded to the same scale in Bartneck et al.'s research. The analysis of the data reveals that Korean students tend to be more concerned about social impacts that robots might bring to future society and are very conscious about the uncertain influences of robots on human life. The second study investigated factors that may affect K-12 students' attitudes towards robots, with survey data garnered from 298 elementary, middle, and high school students. The data were analyzed by the method of multiple regression analysis to test the hypothesis that a student's gender, age, the extent of interest in robots, and the extent of experiences with robots may influence his or her attitude towards robots. The hypothesis was partially supported in that variables of a student's gender, age, and the extent of interest in robots were statistically significant with regard to the attitude variable. Given the results, this paper suggests three points of discussions to better understand Korean students' attitudes towards robots: social and cultural context, individual differences, and theory of mind.

Due to multiple information sources, external information search(EIS) is the key issue on smart tourism environments. EIS is more important on experiential goods such as exhibition and convention. Despite the increasing importance of EIS, very little is known about what is the more effective information source in this area. In this paper, we attempt to examine the relations of satisfaction and between both online and offline information. This research analyzes an empirical model including EIS, affective involvement, perceived usefulness, satisfaction to student visitors on exhibition experience. Hence, six hypotheses are developed to test the relations of EIS and satisfaction using the mediating effects of affective involvement. Specifically, we developed a research model by employing the Uses and Gratification(U&G) framework and tested it to understand how student visitors' involvement and satisfaction might be changed according to EIS. Survey data was collected from 203 student visitors on "2014 Expo KCCE" was used to test the model using structural equation modeling. The implications of our empirical findings for both research and practice are discussed.

기존의 연구는 FSM을 기본으로 제어흐름만을 분석하거나 시험목적을 시험열 생성 단계에서 고려하지 않음으로써 시험열의 실제 적용에 있어 많은 문제점을 갖는다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 SDL로 기술된 프로토콜 명세서를 시멘틱 모델인 LTS로 변환 후 LTS로부터 서브투어 단위로 시험열을 생성하였다. 그리고 생성된 시험열을 TTCN으로 변환하고 단위 테스트를 위한 추가 정보로서 프리앰블, 포스트앰블, 리셋 정보등을 LTS로부터 생성하였다. 또한 LTS로부터 한 노드에서 전이 가능한 모든 경로를 트리로 표현함으로서 향상된테스트 커버리지를 갖는 서브투어를 생성하였으며 SDL을 시맨틱 모델인 STS로의변환 EH한 기존의 입력과 출력만을 고려하는 FSM에서 발생하는 비결정성 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서의 테스트 목적이 고려된 TTCN 표현의 테스트 케이스 생성은 적합성 시험을 위한 테스스 케이스의 실제 적용 및 프로토콜 구현의 생산성을 높일 수 있으며 테스팅 환경의 기반을 제공한다.

리오더버퍼는 명령어를 비순차로 이슈하는 수퍼스칼라 파이프라인에서의 명령어 실행을 순차적으로 완료하는데 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 리오더버퍼에 의하여 발생할 수 있는 명령어의 스테그네이션(stagnation)을 효율적으로 제거시킬 뿐만 아니라 리오더버퍼의 크기를 감소시킬 수 있는 쉘터버퍼를 사용한 리오더버퍼 구조를 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 리오더버퍼의 엔트리 개수가 8개에서 32개 사이일 때 쉘터버퍼는 단지 1개 또는 2개만 사용하여도 뚜렷한 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있음을 보여준다. 쉘터버퍼를 4개 사용했을 때는 2개만 사용했을 경우와 비교하여 주목할만한 성능 향상은 없었다. 이는 쉘터버퍼를 2개만 사용하여도 대부분의 스테그네이션을 제거하는데 충분함을 보여준다. 실행율의 손실이 없는 상태에서 2개의 쉘터버퍼를 사용하면 Whetstone 벤치마크 프로그램에서는 44%, FFT 벤치마크 프로그램에서는 50%, FM 벤치마크 프로그램에서는 60%, Linpack 벤치마크 프로그램에서는 75%의 리오더버퍼의 크기를 줄일 수 있었다. 쉘터버퍼를 사용했을 때 수행 시간 역시 Whetstone에서는 19.78%, FFT에서는 19.67%, FM에서는 23.93%, Linpack에서는 8.65%의 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

A method for measuring optical properties of biological medium was investigated by using the frequency domain spectroscopy. When amplitude-modulated light with the frequency of several tens up to several hundred MHz propagates through a scattering medium, the phase lag and the amplitude reduction occur. The phase lag depends on the average of optical path lengths. The amplitude reduction with respect to the radial distance is influenced by the penetration depth. The mean of optical path length and penetration depth are related to optical coefficients. The phase lag and the amplitude reduction were measured based on the heterodyne detection method. The experimental data were fitted with the theoretical curves derived from diffusion theory and the absorption and scattering coefficients were calculated.

The speed and position control of SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) needs the encoder or resolver to obtain the rotor position information. These position sensors can be affected by the EMI, dusty, and high temperature surroundings. Therefore the speed and position sensorless control has been studied widely In this paper, the binary observer of the SRM which has two feedback compensation loops to control the speed of SRM is proposed. One loop reduces the estimation error like the sliding mode observer, and the other removes the estimation error chattering occurred in the sliding mode observer. This observer is constructed on the basis of variable structure control theory and has the inertial term to exclude the chattering. This method has a good estimation performance in spite of nonlinear modeling of SRM. The advantages of the proposed method are verified experimentally.
