본 논문은 표준 SIC NOMA와는 대조적으로, SIC를 수행하지 않는 SUD 수신기의 최대 전송률을 고찰한다. 먼저, 강 채널 사용자에 대해 상관 정보원의 SUD NOMA에 대한 최대 전송률의 폐쇄형 표현식을 유도한다. 다음, 강 채널 사용자에 대해서는, 독립 정보원의 SIC NOMA의 최대 전송률과 비교하여, 상관 정보원의 SUD NOMA의 최대 전송률은 일반적으로 감소하는 것을 보여준다. 그러나, 아주 강한 상관 정보원에 대해서는, 독립 정보원의 SIC NOMA의 최대 전송률과 비교하여, 상관 정보원의 SUD NOMA의 최대 전송률은 아주 우수하다는 것을 입증한다. 추가로, 상관 정보원이 SUD 수신기의 최대 전송률에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해, 다양한 상관 관계 계수에 대해, SUD NOMA의 최대 전송률과 SIC NOMA의 최대 전송률을 폭넓게 비교한다.

A significant development has been made on a new fatigue damage model applicable to Gaussian wide band stress response spectra using numerical approximation methods such as data processing, time simulation, and regression analysis. So far, most of the alternative approximate models provide slightly underestimated or overestimated damage results compared with the rain-flow counting distribution. A more reliable approximate model that can minimize the damage differences between exact and approximate solutions is required for the practical design of ships and offshore structures. The present paper provides a detailed description of the development process of a new fatigue damage model. Based on the principle of the Gaussian wide band model, this study aims to develop the best approximate fatigue damage model. To obtain highly accurate damage distributions, this study deals with some prominent research findings, i.e., the moment of rain-flow range distribution MRR(n), the special bandwidth parameter μk, the empirical closed form model consisting of four probability density functions, and the correction factor QC. Sequential prerequisite data processes, such as creation of various stress spectra, extraction of stress time history, and the rain-flow counting stress process, are conducted so that these research findings provide much better results. Through comparison studies, the proposed model shows more reliable and accurate damage distributions, very close to those of the rain-flow counting solution. Several significant achievements and findings obtained from this study are suggested. Further work is needed to apply the new developed model to crack growth prediction under a random stress process in view of the engineering critical assessment of offshore structures. The present developed formulation and procedure also need to be extended to non-Gaussian wide band processes.

본 연구에서는 멀티에이전트 환경에서 지식을 표현하고 추론함에 있어서 증명 이론적 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 논리적 결과를 기계적 방법으로 결정하므로 초기 인공지능 연구부터 핵심분야로 발전해 왔다. 하지만 임의의 닫힌 문장들의 집합에서 항상 명제가 증명할 수 있지 않기에 논리적 결과가 결정할 수 있어지려면 절 형식의 문장으로 그 표현 범위를 제한한다. 그리고 절 형식의 문장들에서만 적용 가능한, 단순하면서도 강력한 추론 규칙인 비교흡수 원리(Resolution principle)를 적용한다. 또한 증명이론을 메타술어로 표현할 수 있으므로 증명이론의 메타논리로 확장 가능하다. 메타논리가 모델 이론의 인식 논리(epistemic logic)보다 향상된 표현력을 기반으로 실용적인 면과 효율면에서 우월할 수 있다. 이를 입증하기 위해 인식 논리의 의미론과 증명이론의 메타논리 방식으로 각각 Muddy Children 문제에 적용한다. 그 결과 협력적 멀티에이전트 환경에서 메타논리를 사용하여 지식과 공통지식을 표현하고 추론한 방법이 더 효율적임을 증명한다.

As a promising technique to support tremendous numbers of Internet of Things devices and a variety of applications efficiently, mobile edge computing (MEC) has attracted extensive studies recently. In this paper, we consider a MEC-assisted peer-to-peer (P2P) mobile communication system where MEC servers are deployed at access points to accelerate the communication process between mobile terminals. To capture the tradeoff between the time delay and the energy consumption of the system, a cost function is introduced to facilitate the optimization of the computation and communication resources. The formulated optimization problem is non-convex and is tackled by an iterative block coordinate descent algorithm that decouples the original optimization problem into two subproblems and alternately optimizes the computation and communication resources. Moreover, the MEC-assisted P2P communication system is compared with the conventional P2P communication system, then a condition is provided in closed-form expression when the MEC-assisted P2P communication system performs better. Simulation results show that the advantage of this system is enhanced when the computing capability of the receiver increases whereas it is reduced when the computing capability of the transmitter increases. In addition, the performance of this system is significantly improved when the signal-to-noise ratio of hop-1 exceeds that of hop-2.

In order to meet the rapid development of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication needs, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) helps to identify unused spectrum for the primary users (PU). However, multi-UAV mode (MUM) requires the large communication resource in a cognitive UAV network, resulting in a severe decline of spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) and increase of energy consumption (EC). On this account, we extend the traditional 2D spectrum space to 3D spectrum space for the UAV network scenario and enable UAVs to proceed with spectrum sensing behaviors in this paper, and propose a novel multi-slot mode (MSM), in which the sensing slot is divided into multiple mini-slots within a UAV. Then, the CSS process is developed into a composite hypothesis testing problem. Furthermore, to improve SE and EE and reduce EC, we use the sequential detection to make a global decision about the PU channel status. Based on this, we also consider a truncation scenario of the sequential detection under the sensing delay constraint, and further derive a closed-form performance expression, in terms of the CSS performance and cooperative efficiency. At last, the simulation results verify that the performance and cooperative efficiency of MSM outperforms that of the traditional MUM in a low EC.

Loss of leg muscle and muscle weakness, which are caused by aging, affect muscle function and sense of balance. As a way of preventing seniors from falling, we developed the idea of wearing functional supporters based on graduated compression technique and in the form of a taping supporter. Their impact on power, sense of balance, overcoming fatigue, and subjective wearing sensation was investigated. The following results were obtained. After wearing functional compression supporters, body temperature increased from 24.5 ± 0.5℃ to 26.3 ± 0.6℃. Calf size, which assesses the level of edema, decreased from 26.1 ± 1.8cm to 25.7 ± 1.8cm. The result of dynamic balance test, which helps estimate the fall prevention effect, increased from 6.4 ± 0.9sec to 7.1 ± 0.6sec. Lactate level, which indicates the level of fatigue, decreased from 8.1 ± 0.6mmol/L to 7.3 ± 0.8mmol/L. Standing long jump record, which assesses power, increased from 110.1 ± 3.1cm to 112.0 ± 2.8cm. Standing on one leg with eyes closed, which assesses sense of balance, increased from 4.2 ± 1.1sec to 6.5 ± 0.8sec. Ankle angle, which assesses joint stability, increased from 75.3 ± 4.0° to 80.1 ± 1.7°. In metabolism and physical performance testing, which assesses keep, the score increased from 26.3 ± 1.7 to 28.8 ± 1.2. Muscle supporting score, which assesses joint stability, increased from 7.3 ± 0.6 to 7.8 ± 0.4. In the category of body type, which assesses wearing sensation and body shaping function, the score increased from 5.7 ± 1.4 to 6.4 ± 1.2

Pre-stressed concrete circular spun piles are widely used in various infrastructure projects around the world and offer an economical deep foundation system with consistent and superior quality compared to cast in-situ and other concrete piles. Conventional methods for measuring the lateral response of piles have been limited to conventional instrumentation, such as electrical based gauges and pressure transducers. The problem with existing technology is that the sensors are not able to assist in recording the lateral stiffness changes of the pile which varies along the length depending on the distribution of the flexural moments and appearance of tensile cracks. This paper describes a full-scale bending test of a 1-m diameter spun pile of 30 m long and instrumented using advanced fibre optic distributed sensor, known as Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA). Optical fibre sensors were embedded inside the concrete during the manufacturing stage and attached on the concrete surface in order to measure the pile's full-length flexural behaviour under the prescribed serviceability and ultimate limit state. The relationship between moments-deflections and bending moments-curvatures are examined with respect to the lateral forces. Tensile cracks were measured and compared with the peak strains observed from BOTDA data which corroborated very well. By analysing the moment-curvature response of the pile, the structure can be represented by two bending stiffness parameters, namely the pre-yield (EI) and post-yield (EI_cr), where the cracks reduce the stiffness property by 89%. The pile deflection profile can be attained from optical fibre data through closed-form solutions, which generally matched with the displacements recorded by Linear Voltage Displacement Transducers (LVDTs).
