The earthquake resistant design concept allows the nonlinear behavior of structures under the design earthquake. Therefore the response spectrum method provided in most codes introduces the response modification factors to consider the nonlinear behavior in the design process. For bridges, the response modification factors are given according to the ductility as well as the redundancy of piers. In this study, among influence factors on the nonlinear seismic behavior, the randomness of artificial accelerograms simulated with different durations, the pier ductility represented by the inelastic behavior characteristic curve and the regularity represented by pier heights are selected. The influence of such factor on the seismic behavior is investigated by comparing response modification factors calculated with the nonlinear time step analysis.

A lot-sizing model for multi-stage MRP systems is proposed, in which known demands must be satisfied. In this model, an approach with considerations of initial inventory and limited production capacity is involved. Most of the studies on the lot-sizing techniques for multi-stage material requirement planning systems have been focused upon two basic approaches. One approach is to develope an algorithm yielding an optimal solution. Due to the computational complexity and sensitivity of the optimal solution to the problem of lot sizing, heuristic approaches are often employed. In this paper, the heuristic approach is used by sequential application of a single-stage algorithm with a set of modified cost by the concept of multi-echelon costs. The proposed method is compared with an lot-sizing method(Florian-Klein Model) to prove its effectiveness by numerical examples.

Visible light communication (VLC) is considered a strong future candidate for indoor wireless communication. However, its performance seems to be relatively unsatisfactory when compared to wireless local area network (WLAN) communication using millimeter waves. To improve the performance of VLC, numerous technologies have been proposed so far, in both electrical and optical domains. Among the proposals, optical beamforming (OB) is an optical-domain technology that can concentrate light in a specific direction or on a target spot. It can significantly improve VLC performance and can be widely used, because it does not depend on electrical modulation schemes. Therefore, this review discusses the concept, principle, and types of OB, the structure of a VLC system using OB, performance results of OB, and the combination of OB with electrical signal modulation in VLC. OB is expected to be one of the key techniques in future VLC implementations, similar to radio-frequency beamforming in millimeter-wave communication.

Externally, there is urgent need Strengthening the competitiveness of agriculture in terms of production, processing and consumption. And development of high-quality services is particularly essential for provide safe food to consumers, internally. We studied the concept of service science, service models and service development methodology, then researched strengthening agricultural competitiveness through analysis of service viewpoint. After then, in the service level and service science, we elicit the service components for the defined new business, which is composed of private service and supporting service for Mungyeong omija industry. In this research, we evaluate the possibilities that agriculture is not primary industries but service industries for competitiveness. We suggest four key service composition for win-win strategy in Mungyeong omija industry. That is authenticity service, decision price service, decision rating service, establish infrastructure for year-round sale.

The conventional MOX fuel shows adverse controllability in view of its neutronic characteristics such as decreased soluble boron worth and effective delayed-neutron fraction compared to the UO$_2$ fuel. In order to mitigate these disadvantages, we devised a new concept of the hybrid UO$_2$-MOX fuel pellet with dual structure such that its outer annular section contains. UO$_2$ fuel and its inner cylindrical bar contains MOX fuel. The lattice physics code HELIOS was used to evaluate the neutronic characteristics of three different types of fuel pellets ; UO$_2$ fuel pellet, MOX fuel pellet, and hybrid UO$_2$-MOX fuel pellet. Results show that the hybrid UO$_2$-MOX fuel pellet generally has intermediate neutronic tendency between UO$_2$ fuel and MOX which could diminish the problems arising from the use of the conventional MOX fuel.

Now for the first time in Korea pilot project on application of base isolation system to the RC building is carrying out by collaboration with KNHC and DRB dongil. The hybrid-type base isolation system, which is composed of sliding bearings and laminated rubber bearings and can make the resonance period of base isolated buildings comparatively long up to 4 or 5 seconds, is applied to this building. In this paper the overview of this project, the dynamic characteristics of this particular building and the response reduction effect against earthquakes are presented.

This paper presents techniques for discovering rules with elastic patterns. Elastic patterns are useful for discovering rules from data sequences with different sampling rates. For fast discovery of rules whose heads and bodies are elastic patterns, we construct a suffix tree from succinct forms of data sequences. The suffix tree is a compact representation of rules, and is also used as an index structure for finding rules matched to a target head sequence. When matched rules cannot be found, the concept of rule relaxation is introduced. Using a cluster hierarchy and a relaxation error, we find the least relaxed rules that provide the most specific information on a target head sequence. Performance evaluation through extensive experiments reseals the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system has been used for remote measurement and control on the critical infrastructures as well as modem industrial facilities. As cyber attacks increase on communication networks, SCADA network has been also exposed to cyber security problems. Especially, SCADA systems of energy industry such as electric power, gas and oil are vulnerable to targeted cyber attack and terrorism Recently, many research efforts to solve the problems have made progress on SCADA network security. In this paper, flexible key distribution concept is proposed for improving the security of SCADA network using Multiagent System (MAS).

As the exiting school facilities become old and unfit for new curriculum, the systematical remodelling process based on its educational and physical functions is required. due to the inadequate maintenance and repairing practices, unnecessary costs are expended. Therefore, this study aims to establish a remodelling decision-making model for improving the educational environment of the existing school facilities. According to the budget system, it proposes the concept of remodelling that includes the activities of extension, reconstruction, repair and improvement. This study classifies the performance evaluation for school facilities as that of safety, durability and educational function, and articulates the assessment standards, methods and elements. In the end, it suggests a rational model for remodelling decision-making that can provide efficient and comprehensive remodelling process, economic and sustainable school development.

This paper proposes a remote control system that combines computer network and an autonomous mobile robot. We control remotely an autonomous mobile robot with vision via the internet to guide it under unknown environments in the real time. The main feature of this system is that local operators need a World Wide Web browser and a computer connected to the internet communication network and so they can command the robot in a remote location through our Home Page. This system offers an image compression method using motion H.263 concept which reduces large time delay that occurs in network during image transmission.
