  • Researchers up to date have introduced several Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques with varying advantages and drawbacks for each. Satellite positioning systems (GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO) based techniques proved to be promising, especially for high natural period structures. Particularly, the GPS has proved sufficient performance and reasonable accuracy in tracking real time dynamic displacements of flexible structures independent of atmospheric conditions, temperature variations and visibility of the monitored object. Tall structures are particularly sensitive to oscillations produced by different sources of dynamic actions; such as typhoons. Wind forces induce in the structure both longitudinal and perpendicular displacements with respect to the wind direction, resulting in torsional effects, which are usually more complex to be detected. To efficiently track the horizontal rotations of the in-plane sections of such flexible structures, two main issues have to be considered: a suitable sensor topology (i.e., location, installation, and combination of sensors), and the methodology used to process the data recorded by sensors. This paper reports the contributions of the measurements recorded from dual frequency GPS receivers and uni-axial accelerometers in a full-scale experimental campaign. The Canton tower in Guangzhou-China is the case study of this research, which is instrumented with a long-term structural health monitoring system deploying both accelerometers and GPS receivers. The elaboration of combining the obtained rather long records provided by these two types of sensors in detecting the torsional behavior of the tower under ambient vibration condition and during strong wind events is discussed in this paper. Results confirmed the reliability of GPS receivers in obtaining the dynamic characteristics of the system, and its ability to capture the torsional response of the tower when used alone or when they are combined with accelerometers integrated data.

  • The drastic growth of mobile communication and spreading of smart phone make the significant attention on Location Based Service. The one of most important things for vitalizations of LBS is the accurate estimating position for mobile object. Focusing on an image sensor deployed in smart phone, we develop a LED based positioning estimation framework. The developed approaches can strengthen the advantages of independent indoor applicability of LED. The estimation of LED based positioning is effectively applied to any indoor environment. We put a focus especially on the algorithmic framework. of image processing of smart phone. From LED lighting, we can obtain a typical signal image which contains the unique positioning information. Furthermore test-bed based on smart phone platform is practically developed and all data have been harvested from the actual measurement of test indoor area. This can approve the practical usefulness of proposed framework.

  • As computer systems and communication technologies develop rapidly, CSCW(Computer Supported Collaborative Work) system appears nowadays, through which it is available to work on virtual space without any restriction of time and place. Most of CWCS systems depend on a special network and groupware. The systems of graphics and CAD are not so many because they are specified by hardware and application software. In this paper, we propose a web-based collaborative CAD system, which can be jointly worked on Internet WWW being independent from any platforms. It can create and modify 3D objects easily using VRML and Java 3D API, and it can send, print, and store them. The interactive work for designing objects can be also carried out through chatting with each other. This system is executed in the environment of Client/server architecture. Clients connect to the CAD sewer through Java applet on WWW. The server is implemented by Java application, and it consists of three components : connection manager which controls the contact to users, work manager which keeps viewing in concurrency and provides virtual work space sharing with others, and solid modeler which creates 3D object.

  • The Internet has become an important instrument for providing many pieces of information to us. And server systems offer the various services after processing a volume of information, it's network topology also has been complex for providing information. Therefore this expansion means the importance of fast and sustained management of server systems. But most of server systems are located in fire-walls to allow only restricted access. Moreover, due to the difference of management based on the different operating system of each server system, management of server system is not to efficiency. That is, sever administrators have to manage by themselves many kinds of servers by using local-based or socket-based single access applications. Therefore, we design and implement a middleware system which allows to manage many kinds of severs integrally ruling XML-based Web Services which have distributed object technology such as CORBA, Java RMI and DCOM, but are free from platforms or development languages. System also provides location transparency and terminal independence and calls a server system management command to manage systems.

  • Systematic telecommunication network management is essential for operating large-scale integrated networks which consist of various network components manufactured by different vendors. ISO and ITU-T recommend the CMIP-based TMN architecture for this purpose. TMN uses GDMO for the definition of managed objects, and various GDMO compilers have been developed. However, the development of management objects by using these compilers is still a difficult task. In this paper, we present a GUI-based managed objects development environment, MODE. MODE divides managed object codes by system independent code(SIC) and system dependent cede(SDC). By providing development environments for SIC and SDC, MODE can ease the development of managed objects. To show the efficiency of MODE, we develop the managed objects of an ATM switch in MODE.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of wearing lab coats on science-related attitudes of elementary school students in science learning. In addition, we analyzed the effects of wearing lab coats on perceptions of the authenticity of school science activities and the necessity of wearing lab coats. Samples of the study were composed of 4 classes of 92 fifth graders in Seoul, Korea. Unit of 'Temperature and Heat' was selected as a object of the research. The major results of the study are as follows. First, for the independent t-test of science-related attitudes, a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the comparative group was found. Second, 9 students (9.78%) were more than 1SD above the average of the difference between the results of pre and post. Seven of them were experimental group students and two were comparative group students. Third, there was a statistically significant difference between the comparison group and the experimental group as a result of the perception test of the similarity of the scientific activity of the elementary school students and the scientific activity of the scientists. Fourth, there was no statistically significant difference between the comparison group and the experimental group as a result of the perception test of the necessity of wearing a lab coat. Based on these findings of this study, implications for science education research and teaching and learning at school are discussed.

  • To develop a virtual world-based immersive tutoring system, we would like to develop a simulation in the spatial aspect to maximize the diversity and realism of the situation. This implementation requires the modeling of virtual space as well as the knowledge and intelligent thinking functions of virtual humans. First, information structures are needed to simulate the hierarchical and multifaceted composition of space and the corresponding knowledge of virtual humans. Specifically, four structures for 2.5D spatial distribution expression, complex spatial relationship expression, object expression, and temporal and spatial representation of events are developed respectively. It then uses these expressed knowledge to develop the spatial thinking function of virtual humans needed to make spatial movement. In general, events have a chain effect on adjacent or connected objects through force, resulting in a variety of situations and reflected in the planning of the next action by the virtual humans involved. For this purpose, the development of events according to historical trends is recorded on the representation structure of time and space. It embodies typical events to demonstrate the feasibility of independent behavior in complex spaces among virtual people.
