In this study, a modified indirect evaluation method was developed to predict the deterioration level of water pipes. The accuracy of the modified method was verified by comparing it with the direct method. The weights of index were adjusted by reducing the weight of water quality corrosion, soil corrosion, lay depth and road type according to the importance of the existing evaluation factors and adding the weight of pipe thickness. In the results, the weight of pipe thickness was determined to be 0.1530. Comparing with the direct evaluation method, the accuracy of the modified indirect evaluation method increased by 31.03% compared to the indirect evaluation method. The modified indirect evaluation method will be able to select relatively old pipes more accurately and efficiently than the existing indirect evaluation method when prioritizing the improvement of old water pipes.

2020년 상수도 통계에 따르면 전국 상수도 보급률은 약 99% 정도로 높은 수치를 기록하고 있으나 노후관으로 인한 관로파손 및 수질사고로 인해 효과적인 운영에는 많은 어려움이 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 기술진단 및 정밀안전진단 등 체계적인 유지관리 규정이 도입되었으며 적용되고 있으며, 이때 시스템의 정량적인 성능평가를 위해 간접평가와 직접평가로 구성된 점수평가법이 적용되었다. 간접평가는 지중에 매설된 관로를 대상으로 매설연도, 관경, 관로연장 등의 노후도인자를 통해 관의 노후도를 추정하고 간접평가 결과 3등급으로 판명되는 관로의 경우 객관적인 관의 상태를 평가하기 위해 시편채취 및 관로 내시진단 등의 직접평가가 수행된다. 하지만 관로의 직접평가는 간접평가결과 3등급의 모든 관로에 대해 수행하기에는 진단비용 및 시간 등 제약조건에 따라 모든 지점에 대한 직접평가 수행에는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 관로 성능평가 기법의 한계를 개선하기 위해 상수도시스템 통합평가 기술을 개발하였다. 개발한 기술은 머신러닝 기법을 적용하여 간접평가 및 직접평가 결과를 토대로 직접평가가 필요한 지점의 결과를 예측하였다. 이를 바탕으로 상수도시스템 평가성능 향상 및 보강 우선순위 선정 단계에서 의사결정권자의 판단에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

악취현상 평가방법은 냄새유발물질의 농도를 정량적으로 분석하는 화학성분분석법과 복합취기물질에 의란 감각수준을 다수의 악취판정인이 평가하는 관능측정법으로 대별할 수 있다. 특히, 관능측정법의 경우 자극의 세기를 표현하는 직접관능법과 최소냄새감지한계회석배수를 구하는 간접관능법으로 구분할 수 있으며, 환경악취현상을 객관적으로 평가하기 위해서는 성분분석과 감각수준을 평가하는 두 방법에 의한 측정결과를 종합적으로 고려하는 것이 타당한 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

The exploration of the interaction effect among the components of attractiveness is impossible; therefore, this study uses an indirect estimates approach with multiple scale items that can measure the interaction effect among the components of attractiveness to solve the problem of direct estimates. Previous studies focused on intra-store type competition as their subjects; subsequently, this study dealt with intra-store type competition as well as inter-store type competition in the competing and selecting activities among fashion retailing stores with different business models (such as department stores, road brand stores, discount stores, outlets and internet shopping malls). This study suggests a generalized model for shopping attractiveness of stores and proposes a fashion retailing store type attractiveness (FaRSTA) model instead of a simple relative importance between store selection standards.

We discuss confidence intervals for sensitive binomial attributes obtained by a direct question method and indirect question method. The Randomized Response Technique(RRT) by Warner (1965) is an indirect question method that uses a randomization device to reduce the response burden of respondents. We used the mean coverage probability (MCP), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean expected width (MEW) to compare the confidence intervals by the two methods. The numerical comparisons indicated found that the MEW of RRT is too large and the RRT is so conservative that the MCP exceeds a nominal level(${\alpha}$); therefore, it is necessary to complement these problem in order to increase the utility of the indirect question method.

정보에 대한 정량적 평가방법으로 조건부 가치평가방법을 응용하여 정량화 하였다. 조건부 가치평가 법은 간단히 말해 직접적으로 사람들에게 비시장 재화에 대해 어느 정도 지불의사가 있는가를 설문지를 통해 사용자들에게 직접 묻는 것이다. 기존의 가치평가 법은 해당 정보 재화와 유사한 재화의 시장수요를 추정하여 평가하는 간접적 가치 평가법이 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 정보는 유사한 재화의 명확한 정의가 곤란하므로 이러한 요인들을 고려하여 설문조사를 통한 정보의 가치평가 방법을 선택하여 정보제공 웹 사이트의 경영성과를 측정하였다.

The ultrasonic nondestructive test (NDT) was applied to deck in-service to inspect and evaluate the performance of decking materials using ultrasonic pulse velocity. First, the measuring method between direct and indirect method according to transducer arrangement was studied. Second, the ultrasonic pulse velocity of decks in-service was compared with the passage of time. Finally, the change of ultrasonic pulse velocity was evaluated to expect service life of decking materials. The results of comparison between direct and indirect method was statistically insignificant and the ratio of direct to indirect method was 1.02. 1.05 respectively. The ultrasonic pulse velocity of decks in-service was decreased as the passage of time and the linear relationship in the ultrasonic pulse velocity to passage of time was found. From the results, The ultrasonic NDT will be helpful as an efficient method of on-site management of decks in-service.

Indirect calorimetry is the measurement of the amount of heat generated in an oxidation reaction by determining the intake or consumption of oxygen or by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide or nitrogen released and translating these quantities into a heat equivalent. In the last 20 years there has been significant development in both laboratory and computerized metabolic systems used in indirect calorimetry. In addition, there has been increased use of breath-by-breath EGAIC. Several researchers have suggested that breath-by-breath analysis, because of their practicality, could fulfill this need for a valid and reliable expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry instrument. It was hoped this investigation would determine the best validation for a precise measurement of breath-by-breath expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry. The problem with the available research is that few studies have examined the validity and reliability of all these different systems for breath-by-breath expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry. Therefore, there is a need to find out the most valid, reliable, and precise measurement of the breath-by-breath expired gas analysis indirect calorimetry.

Recently, methods on minimizing environmental effect caused from human-made goods have been studied in various research fields. Such issue has been also spotlighted into the civil engineering field; however, application of environmental performance assessment on civil structures is very complicated, since they handles vast ranges of materials and has comparatively long life span with various construction stages. Thus, this study intended to apply environmental performance assessment into an ordinary type of steel box girder bridge, using most popular Life cycle assessment (LCA) procedures, which are called Survey-based method and Indirect method. For better comparison of two methods, greenhouse effect of the example bridge is considered. As result of analysis, total $CO_2$ emission is evaluated as 241.27 ton with Survey-based method while it is evaluated as 221.03 ton with Indirect method. It is also revealed that most $CO_2$ is generated from the process of manufacturing and producing construction materials. Such result indicates that the efficient design which secures certain level of structural safety with minimized input materials. It is considered that the specific LCA on civil structure performed in this study could be utilized to other civil structures for reasonable environmental performance assessment.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets and microleakage of a tooth-adhesive-bracket complex bonded with a direct and an indirect bonding technique after thermocycling. Methods: Fifty non-carious human premolars were divided into two equal groups. In the direct bonding group a light-cured adhesive and a primer (Transbond XT) was used. In the indirect-bonding group, a light-cured adhesive (Transbond XT) and chemical-cured primer (Sondhi Rapid Set) were used. After polymerization, the teeth were kept in distilled water for 24 hours and thereafter subjected to thermal cycling (500 cycles). For the microleakage evaluation, 10 teeth from each group were further sealed with nail varnish, stained with 0.5% basic fuchsin for 24 hours, and examined under a stereomicroscope. Fifteen teeth from each group were used for SBS testing with the universal testing machine and adhesive remnant index (ARI) evaluation. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results: There were no statistical differences on SBS and microleakage between the two bonding techniques. The indirect bonding group had a significantly lower ARI score. Bracket failures were obtained between enamel-resin interfaces. Conclusions: The type of bonding technique did not significantly affect the amount of microleakage and SBS.
