Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of two representative subway map design types, namely a diagram type and a geographical type using physiological metrics, performance metrics, and self-reported metrics, which are representative usability metrics. Background: Subway maps need to be designed in order for users to quickly search and recognize subway line information. Although most cities' subway maps currently use the diagram type designed by Henry Beck, New York City's subway map has recently been changed to the subway map type combined with the geographical type designed by Michael Hertz. However, not many studies on its efficiency are found, and the studies that are available mainly depend on questionnaire surveys or take on a subjective behavioral study type based on experts' experiences. In this regard, evaluation through a more objective method is needed. Method: This study employed usability metrics as a method to evaluate the efficiency of information search targeting the diagram type and geographical type subway maps used mostly as subway maps. To this end, physiological metrics obtained through eye tracking, task completion time, representative metric of task performance, and subjective evaluation metrics were used for the suitability evaluation of subway map designs. Results: In the result of gaze movement distance analysis, no significant difference was shown in the two design types in terms of a process finding a departure station from the starting point and a process finding a transfer station between the departure station and arrival station (destination). However, the gaze movement distance in the process finding the arrival station at the departure station was significantly shorter in the geographical type, rather than in the diagram type. The analysis of task completion time showed a result similar to the gaze movement distance analysis result. Task completion time was significantly shorter in the geographical type, rather than in the diagram type, which is in the process finding the arrival station at the departure station. In other information search processes, no significant difference was shown. As a result of subjective evaluation metrics analysis, no significant difference was revealed in the two design types. Conclusion: An analysis on the two representative subway map design types was carried out via the adoption of usability metrics. As a result, although no significant difference was shown in some information search processes, it was revealed that information search was easier in the geographical type overall. Also, it was found that usability metrics can be effectively used to evaluate the design types of subway maps. Application: The study results can be used to set design direction to offer ease in information search on subway lines. The study also can be used as a method to evaluate a subway map's design type.

최근 마이크로어레이 데이터를 기반으로 두 개의 샘플 그룹간에 유의한 발현 차이를 나타내는 생물학적 기능 그룹을 검출하기 위한 유전자 집합 분석(gene set analysis) 연구가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 기존의 유의 유전자 검출 연구와는 달리, 유전자 집합 분석 연구는 유의한 유전자 집합과 이들의 기능적 특징을 함께 검출할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근에는 PAGE, GSEA 등과 같은 다양한 통계적 방식의 유전자 집합 분석 방법들이 소개되고 있다. 특히, PAGE의 경우 두 샘플 그룹간의 유전자 발현 차이를 나타내는 스코어의 분포가 정규 분포임을 가정하는 모수적 접근 방식을 취하고 있다. 이러한 방법은 GSEA 등과 같은 비모수적 방식에 비해 계산량이 적고 성능이 비교적 우수한 장점이 있다. 하지만, PAGE에서 유전자 발현 차이를 정량화하기 위한 메트릭으로 사용하고 있는 AD(average difference)의 경우, 두 그룹간에 절대적 평균 발현 차이만을 고려하기 때문에 실제 유전자의 발현값 크기나 분산의 크기에 따른 상대적 중요성을 반영하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 보완하기 위해 실제 유전자의 발현값 크기나 그룹 내 샘플들의 분산 정보 등을 스코어 계산에 함께 반영하는 WAD(weighted average difference), FC(Fisher's criterion), 그리고 Abs_SNR(Absolute value of signal-to-noise ratio)을 모수적 방식의 유전자 집합 분석에 적용하고 이에 따른 유의 유전자 집합 검출 결과를 실험을 통해 비교 분석하였다.

The research discusses interrelationship of structural and reliability importance measures which used in the probabilistic safety assessment. The most frequently used component importance measures, such as Birnbaum's Importance (BI), Risk Reduction (RR), Risk Reduction Worth (RRW), RA (Risk Achievement), Risk Achievement Worth (RAW), Fussel Vesely (FV) and Critically Importance (CI) can be derived from two structure importance measures that are developed based on the size and the number of Minimal Path Set (MPS) and Minimal Cut Set (MCS). In order to show an effectiveness of importance measures which is developed in this paper, the three representative functional structures, such as series-parallel, k out of n and bridge are used to compare with Birnbaum's Importance measure. In addition, the study presents the implementation examples of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) metrics and alternating renewal process models with exponential distribution to calculate the availability and unavailability of component facility for improving system performances. System state structure functions in terms of component states can be converted into the system availability (unavailability) functions by substituting the component reliabilities (unavailabilities) for the component states. The applicable examples are presented in order to help the understanding of practitioners.

In this paper, we present a trellis-based blind channel estimation and equalization technique coupling two kinds of adaptive Viterbi algorithms. First, the initial blind channel estimation is accomplished by incorporating the list parallel Viterbi algorithm with the least mean square (LMS) updating approach. In this operation, multiple trellis mappings are preserved simultaneously and ranked in terms of path metrics. Equivalently, multiple channel estimates are maintained and updated once a single symbol is received. Second, the best channel estimate from the above operation will be adopted to set up the whole trellis. The conventional adaptive Viterbi algorithm is then applied to detect the signal and further update the channel estimate alternately. A small delay is introduced for the symbol detection and the decision feedback to smooth the noise impact. An automatic switch between the above two operations is also proposed by exploiting the evolution of path metrics and the linear constraint inherent in the trellis mapping. Simulation has shown an overall excellent performance of the proposed scheme in terms of mean square error (MSE) for channel estimation, robustness to the initial channel guess, computational complexity, and channel equalization.

설계 명세를 이용하여 결함경향성이 많은 부분을 예측하는 위험도 예측 모델은 대형 통신 시스템 같이 결과 산물이 매우 큰 시스템의 개발비용을 낮추는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 복잡도 메트릭에 기반한 많은 위험도 예측 모델들이 제안되었지만 그들 대부분은 모델 훈련을 위한 훈련 데이터 집합을 필요로 하고, 설계 개체들을 위험 그룹과 비위험 그룹으로 나누는 기능만 지닌 분류 모델들이었다. 본 논문에서는 두가지 형태의 검증된 혼성 메트릭들을 사용하는 새로운 예측 모델 HMM을 제안한다. HMM의 장점은 설계 개체의 위험도를 정량화함으로써 모델 훈련을 위한 훈련 데이터 집합이 필요 없다는 것과 개체 간에 위험도 비교가 가능하다는 것이다. HMM의 유용성을 보이기 위해 여러 내부 특성들과 예측 정확도 비교를 통해 잘 알려진 예측 모델인 역전파 신경망 모델(BPM)과 HMM을 비교하였다.

A large number of MJO skill metrics and process-oriented MJO simulation metrics have been developed by previous studies including the MJO Working Group and Task Force. To assess models' successes and shortcomings in the MJO simulation, a standardized set of diagnostics with the additional set of dynamics-oriented diagnostics are applied. The Global Coupled (GC) model developed for the operation of the climate prediction system is used with the comparison between the GC2 and GC3.1. Two GC models successfully capture three-dimensional dynamic and thermodynamic structure as well as coherent eastward propagation from the reference regions of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific. The low-level moisture convergence (LLMC) ahead of the MJO deep convection, the low-level westerly and easterly associated with the coupled Rossby-Kelvin wave and the upper-level divergence are simulated successfully. The GC3.1 model simulates a better three-dimensional structure of MJO and thus reproduces more realistic eastward propagation. In GC2, the MJO convection following the LLMC near and east of the Maritime Continent is much weaker than observation and has an asymmetric distribution of both low and upper-level circulation anomalies. The common shortcomings of GC2 and GC3.1 are revealed in the shorter MJO periods and relatively weak LLMC as well as convective activity over the western Indian Ocean.

Data delivery is very challenging in VANETs because of its unique characteristics, such as fast topology change, frequent disruptions, and rare contact opportunities. This paper tries to explore the scope of 3G-assisted data delivery in a VANET within a budget constraint of 3G traffic. It is started from the simple S_Random (Srand) and finally reached the 3GSDD, i.e., the proposed algorithm. The performance evaluation of different algorithms is done through the two metrics delivery ratio and average delay. A third function utility is created to reflect the above two metrics and is used to find out the best algorithm. A packet can either be delivered via multihop transmissions in the VANET or via 3G. The main challenge is to decide which set of packets should be selected for 3G transmissions and when to deliver them via 3G. The aim is to select and send those packets through 3G that are most sensitive and requiring immediate attention. Through appropriate communication mechanism, these sensitive information are delivered via VANET for 3G transmissions. This way the sensitive information which could not be transmitted through normal VANET will certainly find its destination through 3G transmission unconditionally and with top priority. The delivery ratio of the packets can also be maximized by this system.

There are many possible ways to configure database management systems (DBMSs) have challenging to manage and set.The problem increased in large-scale deployments with thousands or millions of individual DBMS that each have their setting requirements. Recent research has explored using machine learning-based (ML) agents to overcome this problem's automated tuning of DBMSs. These agents extract performance metrics and behavioral information from the DBMS and then train models with this data to select tuning actions that they predict will have the most benefit. This paper discusses two engineering approaches for integrating ML agents in a DBMS. The first is to build an external tuning controller that treats the DBMS as a black box. The second is to incorporate the ML agents natively in the DBMS's architecture.

In this paper, in order to apply the idea MDPSK to TCM, we use signal set expansion and set partition by phase differences. Through this we propose the trellis-coded MDPSK. And the Viterbi decoder containing branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the Lth order phase difference as well as the first order phase difference is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) in the differential detection of the trellis-coded MDPSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually same to the sliding multiple symbol dection method which uses the branch metric with the first and Lth order phase differences. We investigate the performance of the uncoded DQPSK and the trallis-coded D8PSK in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) through the Monte Carlo simulation under the two cases of using and not using the Lth order phase difference metric. The study shows that trellis-coded 8DPSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems while also improving the BER performance when the Viterbi decoder is employed to the Lth order phase order difference metric. This performance improvement has been obtained without sacrificing the bandwidth or the power efficiency.
