  • As flexible Bayesian test criteria for nested point null hypotheses of multiple regression coefficients, partial and overall Bayes factors are introduced under a class of intuitively meaningful prior. The criteria lead to a simple method for considering different prior beliefs on the subspaces that constitute a partition of the coefficient parameter space. A couple of tests are suggested based on the criteria. It is shown that they enable us to obtain pairwise comparisons of hypotheses of the partitioned subspaces. Through a Monte Carlo simulation, performance of the tests based on the criteria are compared with the usual Bayesian test (based on Bayes factor)in terms of their respective powers.

  • 연약지반상에 하중 경감을 목적으로 발포성 폴리스티렌(Expanded Polystyrene)을 사용하는 사례가 최근 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 공법의 요점은 연약지반상에 축조되는 상부구조물에 의한 응력증가를 감소시켜서 결국에는 침하를 방지하기 위한 것이다. 이것을 지오폼(geofoam)이라고 하는데, 지오폼은 교대나 옹벽의 뒷채움재로 사용할 경우 횡토압을 감소시키기 때문에 옹벽이나 교대의 뒷채움재료로 사용하기도 한다. 이와 같이 그 사용이 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만 뒷채움이나 연악지반상에 사용할 때 지오폼의 거동을 예측하는 적절한 수치모델이 아직은 개발되자 않았다. 본 연구에서는 지오폼의 응력-변형 특성을 연구하고 그 탄소성 예측모델을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 삼축압축시험을 실시하였으며 구속응력과 지오폼의 밀도를 다양하게 변화시켜 그 응력-변형특성을 조사하고 회귀분석을 통하여 비선형 구성모델을 제시하였다. 그 결과 지오폼은 탄성 선형모델보다 탄소성모델 특성에 더 가까운 것을 알 수 있었으며 체적변화율과 축방향 변형률에는 특별한 상관 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • The $ED_{100p}$ is that value of the dose associated with 100p% response rate in the analysis of quantal response data. Brand, Pinnock, and Jackson (1973) studied the confidence bands of $ED_{100p}$ obtained by solving extremal values algebraically on the ellipsoid confidence region of the parameters in the simple logistic regression model. In this paper, we develope and illustrate a simpler method for obtaining confidence bands for $ED_{100p}$ based on the rectangular confidence region of parameters.

  • 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답을 예측하기 위하여 수행되는 진동대 실험(Shaking Table Test)과 준정적 실험(Quasic-Static Test)의 각 장점을 조합한 유사동적 실험(Pseudodynamic Test)은 실물 크기 구조물의 비탄성 거동온 파악하는 데 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 유사동적 실험에서는 구조물에 변위이력의 정확한 가력 및 측정이 가장 중요하다. 측정된 변위와 계산된 변위의 차를 조절오차(Control Error)라고 하며, 임의의 단계에서 측정된 변위를 조정하므로서 그 다음 단계의 조절오차 및 측정오차(Measurement Error)를 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서 개선된 유사동적 실험의 알고리즘을 얻을 수 있다.

  • A dynamic interaction analysis of an adjacent surface fecundation on a layered half-space is performed in the frequency domain. A semi-analytical approach is employed to reduce the integration range of the wavenumber in the surface fundamental solution for a layered half-space in boundary element (BE) formulations. The present study then adopts a combined boundary and finite element method to analyze the dynamic behavior of a system of flexible surface foundations on an elastic homogeneous and layered half-space. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the developed method. The examples show the feasibility of an extended application fur the complicated dynamic interaction of foundations on layered media.

  • Chemical application is one of the most important field operation in rice production . Rolling of a boom due to local unevenness and softness in fields causes a local under/over-application of spray. This study was conducted to develop a control system for balancing a boom. A boom mounting mechanism was modfied and a control algorithm was developed in the study. The results for testing the performance of the control system showed that the system could balance the boom in flat and inclined fields. This research can contribute to improve spraying uniformity in applying agricultural chemicals with a boom sprayers.

  • The purpose of this study is to estimate monthly evapotranspiration (ET) using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) obtained from NOAA/AVHRR data sets. Actual evapotranspiration was evaluated by the complementary relationship (Morton, 1978, Brutsaert and Stricker, 1979), and monthly NDVI was obtained by maximum value composite method from daily NDVI images in the Korean peninsula for the year 2001. The monthly actual ETs for each land cover were compared with the monthly NDVIs to determine relationships between actual ET and NDVI for each land cover category. There was a high correlation between monthly NDVI and monthly averaged actual ET. This study presents an alternative approach for land surface evapotranspiration based on remote sensing techniques.

  • We evaluate the accuacy and precision of maximum likelihood estimation procedures for infectivity of HIV in partner studies. This is achieved by applying the oricedyre typothetical samples generated by computer. One hundred samples were generated with various combinations of parameters. The estimation procedure was found to be quite accurate. in addition it was found that the power of the test for equality of infectivities for two types of contact depends on sample size and length of observation period but not on the number of observations made on each subject. Tests based on a model for the infectivity had higher power than standard methods for comparing proportions.

  • An algorithm for the notion planning of the robotic hand is proposed to generate finite displacements and changes in orientation of objects by considering sliding effects between the fingertips and the object at contact points. Specifically, an optimization problem is firstly solved to find minimum contact forces and minimum joint velocities to impart a desired motion to the object at each time step. Then the instantaneous relative velocity at the contact point is found by determining velocities of the fingertip and the velocity of the object at the contact point. Finally time derivatives of the surface variables and contact angle of the fingertip and the object at the present time step is computed using the Montana's contact equation to find the contact parameters of the fingertip and the object at the next time step. To show the validity of the proposed algorithm, a numerical example is illustrated by employing the robotic hand manipulating a sphere with three fingers each of which has four joints.

  • Characteristics of a twin-fluid spray with ultrasonic vibration were examined in order to obtain a high efficiency of cold-fog spray of the automatic pest control machine which has been widely used in protected horticulture recently. An electrostrictive vibrator of PZT BLT and a magnetostrictive $\pi$-type vibrator were used applied as the ultrasonic transducers with a frequency of 28 kHz. All experiments were conducted in 4 methods of spray ; a conventional spray method without ultrasonic forcing, an indirect vibration method with ultrasonic forcing, an improving-quality method by ultrasonic forced within liquid, and a combined-use method with both of the indirect vibration method and the improving quality method. It was found that the ultrasonic energy increased the atomization efficiency of spray droplets about 10% and especially much more in the case of the combined-use method.
