소노부이는 수중에서 음파를 활용하여 정보 수집을 수행하는 장치로, 엔진 소음이나 다양한 음향 특성을 감지하여 수중 표적을 정확하게 탐지하는 대잠전에 효과적인 탐지체계이다. 다중상태 시스템에서의 기존 소노부이 배치 방식은 고정된 패턴이나 휴리스틱 기반의 규칙에 의존하므로, 예측하기 힘든 수중 표적의 기동으로 인해 소노부이 투하 개수 및 작전 소요 시간 측면에서 효율적인 배치를 보장하지는 못한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 소노부이 배치 방식의 한계를 극복하기 위해, 수중 표적의 이동을 고려한 시뮬레이션 기반의 실험 환경에서 강화학습을 이용한 무인항공기의 소노부이 최적 배치를 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 Unity ML-Agents를 통해 Proximal Policy Optimization(PPO) 알고리즘을 이용하여 가상 작전환경과 실시간 상호작용하며 무인항공기를 학습한다. 소노부이 투하 개수 및 음원 및 수신기 간의 비용을 고려한 보상 함수를 설계하여 효과적인 학습이 가능하게 한다. 동일한 실험 환경에서 강화학습을 적용한 배치 방식과 기존 소노부이 배치 방식을 비교한 결과, 탐지 성공률, 투하된 소노부이 개수, 작전 소요 시간 측면에서 강화학습을 적용한 배치 방식이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 방사상 배전계통에 있어서 손실감소 및 전압보상을 위한 커패시터 최적배치 및 운용 방안을 제시하였다. 커패시터 배치와 관련된 비용함수를 실제 뱅크단위로 이산성을 고려하여 계단함수로 정식화하였다. 불연속이면서 미분 불가능한 함수인 커패시터 배치와 관련된 비용함수의 해를 효율적으로 구하기 위하여 전역적탐색기법인 GA를 이요하였다. 특히, GA의 스트링을 커패시터가 배치될 모선의 인덱스와 투입량인 뱅크단위로 동시에 구성하여 기존의 방법보다 효율적으로 해를 탐색하였다. 또한 스트링의 길이를 변화시킬 수 있는 길이 돌연변이(length mutation) 연산자를 사용하므로써 효과적으로 커패시터 설치위치의 수를 결정할 수 있었다. 제안한 커패시터 설치위치와 투입량을 동싱에 탐색할 수 있는 방안으로부터 커패시터의 최소 투입량으로 다양한 부하레벨에서 전력손실을 감소시키고, 전압강하를 적절히 보강시킬수 있다. 이에 대한 효용성을 입증하기 위하여 22kV-9-section feeler로 구성된 방사상 배전계통에 적용하였다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the stress distribution according to the splinting condition and non-splinting conditions on the finite element models of the two units implant prostheses. The finite element model was designed with the parallel placement of two fixtures ($4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$) on the mandibular 1st and 2nd molars. A cemented abutment and gold screw were used for superstructures. A FEA models assumed a state of optimal osseointegration, as the bone quality, inner cancellous bone and outer 2 mm compact bone was designed. This concluded that the cortical and trabecular bone were assumed to be perfectly bonded to the implant. Splinting condition had 2 mm contact surface and non-splinting condition had $8{\mu}m$ gap between two implant prosthesis. Two group (Splinting and non-splinting) were loaded with 200 N magnitude in vertical axis direction and were divided with subdivision group. Subdivision group was composed of three loading point; Center of central fossa, the 2 mm and 4 mm buccal offset point from the central fossa. Von Mises stress value were recorded and compared in the fixture-bone interface and bucco-lingual sections. The results were as follows; 1. In the vertical loading condition of central fossa, splinting condition had shown a different von Mises stress pattern compared to the non-splinting condition, while the maximum von Mises stress was similar. 2. Stresses around abutment screw were more concentrated in the splinting condition than the non-splinting condition. As the distance from central fossa increased, the stress concentration increased around abutment screw. 3. The magnitude of the stress in the cortical bone, fixture, abutment and gold screw were greater with the 4 mm buccal offset loading of the vertical axis than with the central loading.

A necessity for infants, diapers are not only used over long durations, but are also in direct contact to the infants' skin, making the choice of diaper to be of utmost importance. Current interest in cloth diapers is rapidly increasing because of issues concerning the baby's health, green environment, and economy. However, previous researches on cloth diapers are limited to simply investigating the form and material of commercial cloth diapers. There are few in-depth researches for the optimal cloth diaper development. This is therefore a fundamental research for the development of optimized cloth diapers, and analyzes the difference in absorption depending on the placement of seam line (liner, darts, and I pattern), the locations of liquid spraying (1 cm and 8 cm ahead of the center), and the amount of liquid capacity (10 and 20 ml). Currently, the development of diaper patterns considers the crotch shape of the infants and the skin length deformation. As a result, in the case of the I-pattern, the horizontal seam line prevents water from spreading to the front and back, thus reducing the absorbed area. This result was more clearly visible when water was sprayed at the center. The effect of the seam line became more obvious when there was more water (20 ml); also, when water was sprayed at the center, more leakage was observed. Using the results of this research, implementation of horizontal seam is expected to prevent the upward spread of urine.

A SCR catalytic filter system is used for reducing $NO_x$ and soot emissions simultaneously from diesel combustors. The amount of ammonia (as a reducing agent) must be controlled with the amount of $NO_x$ to obtain an optimal $NO_x$ conversion. Hence, gas mixing between ammonia and exhaust gases is vital to ensure that the SCR catalyst is optimally used. If ammonia mass distribution is not uniform, slip potential will occur in rich concentration areas. At lean areas, on the other hand, the catalyst is not fully active. The better mixing is indicated by the higher uniformity of ammonia mass distribution which is necessary to be considered in SCR catalytic filter system. The ammonia mass distributions are depended on the flow field of fluids. In this study, the velocity field of gaseous flow is investigated to characterize the transport of ammonia in SCR catalytic filter system. The influence of different injection placements on the ammonia mass distribution is also discussed. The results show that the ammonia mass distribution is more uniform for the injector directed radially perpendicular to the main flow of inlet at the gravitational direction than that at the side wall for both laminar (Re = 640) and turbulent flows (Re = 4255). It is also found that the mixing index decreases as increasing the heating temperature in the case of ammonia injected at the side wall.

In this paper, we introduce a new framework for running the finite element (FE) packages inside an online Loop together with MATLAB. Contrary to the Hardware-in-the-Loop techniques (HiL), in the proposed Software-in-the-Loop framework (SiL), the FE package represents a simulation platform replicating the real system which can be out of access due to several strategic reasons, e.g., costs and accessibility. Practically, SiL for sophisticated structural design and multi-physical simulations provides a platform for preliminary tests before prototyping and mass production. This feature may reduce the new product's costs significantly and may add several flexibilities in implementing different instruments with the goal of shortlisting the most cost-effective ones before moving to real-time experiments for the civil and mechanical systems. The proposed SiL interconnection is not limited to ABAQUS as long as the host FE package is capable of executing user-defined commands in FORTRAN language. The focal point of this research is on using the compiled FORTRAN subroutine as a messenger between ABAQUS/CAE kernel and MATLAB Engine. In order to show the generality of the proposed scheme, the limitations of the available SiL schemes in the literature are addressed in this paper. Additionally, all technical details for establishing the connection between FEM and MATLAB are provided for the interested reader. Finally, two numerical sub-problems are defined for offline and online post-processing, i.e., offline optimization and closed-loop system performance analysis in control theory.

다수의 이종 센서 네트워크가 넓은 지역에 포설된 경우 각 센서 네트워크에서 수집된 데이터를 싱크 (sink)에서 게이트웨이 (GW)로 전송하기 위해 릴레이 포인트 (relay point: RP)들로 구성된 전달망이 이용된다. 전달망 내에서 RP의 위치는 전달망의 에너지 효율을 결정하는 중요한 요인이지만 전달망 내의 싱크의 수가 동적으로 변하고 특히 싱크가 이동하는 경우 이들의 경로를 미리 알지 못한다면 각 RP의 최적 위치를 전달망 포설시에 결정할 수 없게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 RP를 격자 모양으로 포설한 트리 기반 전달망에서 RP의 운용 비용과 경로 관리 부하 측면에서 효율적인 싱크와 GW 사이의 경로 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법의 성능은 단일 경로 설정 비용에 대한 수학적 분석과 ns-2를 이용한 모의 실험을 통해 검증되었다. 분석 결과 제안 기법은 싱크과 GW 사이의 데이터 전송 시간, 전달망의 서비스 지속 시간 및 경로 관리 부하 측면에서 AODV보다 우수하였다.

Objective : External ventricular drain (EVD) is commonly performed with a freehand technique using surface anatomical landmarks at two different cranial sites, Kocher's point and the forehead. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the accuracy and safety of these percutaneous ventriculostomies. Methods : A retrospectively review of medical records and head computed tomography scans were examined in 227 patients who underwent 250 freehand pass ventriculostomy catheter placements using two different methods at two institutions, between 2003 and 2009. Eighty-one patients underwent 101 ventriculostomies using Kocher's point (group 1), whereas 146 patients underwent 149 forehead ventriculostomies (group 2). Results : In group 1, the catheter tip was optimally placed in either the ipsilateral frontal horn or the third ventricle, through the foramen of Monro (grade 1) in 82 (81.1%) procedures, in the contralateral lateral ventricle (grade 2) in 4 (3.9%), and into eloquent structures or non-target cerebrospinal space (grade 3) in 15 (14.8%). Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) >1 mL developed in 5 (5.0%) procedures. Significantly higher incidences of optimal catheter placements were observed in group 2. ICH>1 mL developed in 11 (7.4 %) procedures in group 2, showing no significant difference between groups. In addition, the mean interval from the EVD to ventriculoperitoneal shunt was shorter in group 2 than in group 1, and the incidence of EVD-related infection was decreased in group 2. Conclusion : Accurate and safe ventriculostomies were achieved using both cranial sites, Kocher's point and the forehead. However, the forehead ventriculostomies provided more accurate ventricular punctures.

This study aims to introduce a new bracing system by which even super-wide frames with large openings can be braced. The proposed system, hereafter called Cable-Pulley Brace (CPB), is a tension-only bracing system with a rectilinear configuration. In CPB, a wire rope passes through a rectilinear path around the opening(s) and connects the lower corner of the frame to its opposite upper one. CPB is a secondary load resisting system with a nonlinear-elastic hysteretic behavior due to its initial pre-tension load. As a result, the required energy dissipation would be provided by the MRF itself, and the main intention of using CPB is to contribute to the initial and post-yield stiffness of the whole system. Using a stiffness calibration technique, optimum placement of the CPBs is discussed to yield a uniform displacement demand along the height of the structure. A displacement-based design procedure is proposed by which the MRF with CPB can be designed to achieve a uniform distribution of inter-story drifts with predefined values. Obtained results indicated that CPB leads to significant reductions in maximum and residual deformations of the MRF at the expense of minor increase in the maximum base shear and developed axial force demands in the columns. In the case of a typical 5-story residential building, compared to SMRF system, CPB system reduces maximum amounts of inter-story and residual drifts by 35% and 70%, respectively. Moreover, openings of the frame are not interrupted by the CPB. This is the most appealing feature of the proposed bracing system from architectural point of view.

Recently, the development of the head mounted display (HMD) device has attracted a great deal of attention to the actual contents. Especially, Augmented Reality (AR), which is a mixture of actual information and virtual world information, is focused on. AR HMD is able to interact by arranging virtual objects in real space through spatial recognition using depth camera. In order to naturally mix virtual space with real space, it is necessary to develop a technology for realizing spatial mapping information with high accuracy. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the optimal configuration of augmented reality application program by realizing accurate spatial mapping information when mapping a real space and an object placement environment using HoloLens. To do this, we changed the spatial mapping information in real space to three levels, which are the number of meshes used in cubic meters to scan step by step. After that, it was compared with the 3D model obtained by changing the actual space and mesh number. Experimental result shows that the higher the number of meshes used in cubic meters, the higher the accuracy between real space and spatial mapping. This paper is expected to be applied to augmented reality application programs that require scanning of highly mapped spatial mapping information.
