The focus of this study is on the elements of structure design that facilitate u user interaction with applications within cyberspace Structure design entails decisions regarding the optimal classification and hierarchical organization of information into s successively higher units. i.e .. the grouping of highly related information in the form of nodes of a site and the subsequent connection of nodes that are inter-related. The decisions are based on the designer's subjective classification framework. which is not always compatible with that of the user. We propose that the ensuing cognitive dissonance can be reduced via the employment of multiple hierarchies and cross-referencing links. Multiple hierarchies represent a single information space in terms of a number of single hierarchies. each of which represent a different perspective Cross-referencing refers to the inter-connection between the constituent hierarchies by providing a link to the alternate hierarchy for information that is most likely to be categorized in diverse manners by users with differing perspectives. In this study we conducted two empirical studies to gauge the effectiveness of multiple hierarchies and Cross-referencing links in the domain of cyber shopping malls. In the first phase. an experiment was conducted to determine how subjects classified given products with respect to two different perspectives for categorization. Experimental cyber malls were developed based on the results from the first phase to test the effectiveness of multiple hierarchies and cross-referencing links. Results show that the ease of navigation was higher for cyber malls that had implemented cross-referencing links are of greater value when used in conjunction with single hierarchical designs rather than multiple hierarchies. Users satisfaction with and ease of navigation was higher for cyber malls that had not implemented multiple hierarchies. This paper concludes with discussion of these results and their implications for designers of cyber malls.

In this paper, we propose an indexing method for efficiently updating current positions of moving objects on road networks. The existing road network models increase update costs when objects move to adjacent road segments because their connectivity is not preserved. We propose an intersection based network model and a new index structure to solve this problem. The proposed intersection based network model preserves network connectivity through splitting road networks to contain intersection nodes always. The proposed index structure In our experiments, we show that our method is about 3 times faster than an existing index structure in terms of update costs.

본 논문에서는 위치기반 서비스에서 도로 네트워크 상을 움직이는 객체들의 현재 위치를 효율적으로 갱신하는 색인기법을 제안한다. 효율적인 시공간 질의 처리를 위하여 도로를 적절하게 분할하여 색인하게 된다. 기존의 도로 분할 방식은 연결정보를 포함하지 않기 때문에 객체가 현재의 도로 영역을 벗어났을 때 색인구조를 처음부터 검색해야 하는 단점이 있다. 제안하는 기법은 도로를 분할할 때 교차점을 포함하도록 분할하여 연결 정보가 유지되도록 한다. 이로 인해 제안하는 알고리즘은 객체가 색인된 현재의 도로 영역을 벗어났을 때 연결 정보와 NN(Nearest Neighbor) 검색 기법을 이용하여 벗어난 도로를 바로 찾아갈 수 있으므로 향상된 갱신 성능을 보인다.

Mobile IP는 단말에게 이동성을 제공해 줌으로써 이동하면서도 인터넷에 접속할 수 있게 해준다. 하지만 L2 연결과 L3 연결이 순차적으로 진행되어 핸드오버시 지연과 데이터 로스의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 핸드오버 과정에서 발생하는 지연과 데이터 로스를 줄이기 위해 L2 트리거를 이용한 Fast Handover 기술이 개발되었지만 Fast Handover 기술 역시 L2 연결과 L3 연결이 독립적으로 진행된다. 본 논문에서는 Mobile IP의 L3 핸드오버 과정과 이기종 네트워크들의 L2 핸드오버 과정을 통합하고 핸드오버 과정을 최적화하여 성능 개선된 핸드오버 방안을 제안하고 성능평가를 통해 우수함을 보인다.

This paper presents a cloth simulation technique that implements plastic deformation. Plasticity is the property that material does not restore completely to the original state once deformed, in contrast to elasticity. We model cloth using a particle model, and posit two kinds of connections between particles, i.e. the sequential connections between immediate neighbors, and the interlaced connections between every other neighbors. The sequential connections represent the compression and tension of cloth, and the interlaced connections the bending in cloth. The sequential connections are modeled by elastic springs, and the interlaced connections by elastic or plastic spring depending on the amount of the current deformation of the connections. Our model is obtained by adding plastic springs to the existing elastic particle model of cloth. Using the new model, we have been able to simulate bending wrinkles, permanently deformed wrinkles, and small wrinkles widely distributed over cloth. When constructing elastic and plastic spring models for sequential and interlaced connections, we took pain to prevent the stiffness matrix of the whole cloth system from being indefinite, in order to help achieve physical stability of the cloth motion equation and to improve the effectiveness of the numerical method.

최근 기상이변으로 인하여 예측이 어려운 게릴라성 집중호우 등의 증가로 재해 및 재난이 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 특히 도시지역에서의 홍수피해로 막대한 인명과 재산피해가 발생하고 있다. 도시지역내로 유입되는 홍수는 다양한 형태와 크기를 가지는 건물과 도로의 배치에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 매우 복잡한 흐름특성을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 도시지역이 조밀한 건물군으로 구성되어 있을 경우 홍수의 대부분은 도로와 교차점을 통해 흐르므로 도시지역 내에서 홍수로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위해서는 도로 교차로에서의 홍수파의 전파특성을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 교차로는 세 개 또는 네 개의 도로가 대칭 또는 비대칭으로 연결되어 있으며, 일반적으로 교차로에서의 흐름은 유입되는 유량이 상대적으로 적고 도로의 경사가 비교적 완만한 경우 상류 특성을 나타내나 이와 반대일 경우에는 상류 및 사류가 공존하는 복잡한 수면형을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 도지지역 내 도로 교차점에서 유입경사 변화에 따른 도로 교차부에서의 흐름특성을 수치모의 결과와 수리실험 결과와 비교하였다. Case 1은 수로의 유입경사가 3%일 경우 도로 교차로에서 수위 및 흐름특성을 수치모의결과와 비교한 결과 조도계수가 0.0086일 경우 RMSE 값은 X축에서는 0.0023, Y축에서는 0.0042로 수로중심에서의 수심분포가 잘 일치 하였으며, 흐름특성 또한 수치모의결과와 잘 일치하는 경향을 보였다. Case 2에서는 검증결과를 바탕으로 유입경사가 3%와 5%일 경우 도로와 교차점에서의 흐름특성을 수치적 방법을 통해 분석하였으며, 유입경사가 변화함에 따른 수면흐름특성을 모의하였다.

In this study, the characteristics of flow within and around a crossroad connected symmetrically with four roads are numerically analyzed by using a two-dimensional well-balanced HLLC finite volume model. As results of simulations and analyses, the numerical model employed in this study describes relatively well the complex water surface in a crossroad according to the conditions of inflow and road slope. Moreover, the predicted temporal and spatial variations of water depths in a crossroad and outflows at two downstream boundaries agree relatively well with laboratory measurements.

In this paper, a new NMOS gate cross-connected current-mirror type bridge rectifier for UHF RFID applications is presented. The DC converting characteristics of the proposed rectifier are analyzed with the high frequency equivalent circuit and the gate capacitance reduction technique for reducing the gate leakage current due to the increasing of operating frequency is also proposed theoretically by circuitry method. As the results, the proposed rectifier shows nearly same DC output voltages as the existing NMOS gate cross-connected rectifier, but it shows the gate leakage current reduced to less than 1/4 and the power consumption reduced more than 30% at the load resistor, and it shows more stable DC supply voltages for the valiance of load resistance. In addition, the proposed rectifier shows high enough and well-rectified DC voltages for the frequency range of 13.56MHz HF(for ISO 18000-3), 915MHz UHF(for ISO 18000-6), and 2.45 GHz microwave(for ISO 18000-4). Therefore, the proposed rectifier can be used as a general purpose one to drive RFID transponder chips on various RFID systems which use specified frequencies.

For the accurate safety assessment of potential radioactive waste disposal site which is located in the crystalline rock it is important to simulate the mass transportation through engineered and natural barrier system precisely, characterized by porous and fractured media respectively. In this work the methods to construct discrete fracture network for the analysis of flow and mass transport through fractured-porous medium are described. The probability density function is adopted in generating fracture properties for the realistic representation of real fractured rock. In order to investigate the intersection between a porous and a fractured medium described by a 2 dimensional rectangular and a cuboid grid respectively, an additional imaginary fracture is adopted at the face of a porous medium intersected by a fracture. In order to construct large scale flow paths an effective method to find interconnected fractures and algorithms of swift detecting connectivities between fractures or porous medium and fractures are proposed. These methods are expected to contribute to the development of numerical program for the simulation of radioactive nuclide transport through fractured-porous medium from radioactive waste disposal site.

Purpose: Misfit of implant components was very important in terms of prosthodontics. they has been linked to prosthetic complications such as screw loosening and fracture. Although there are many results about rotational freedom or machining tolerance between fixture and abutments, the data about domestic implant systems are lacking. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the rotational freedom of domestic external and internal connection implant systems between their fixtures/anlaogs and abutments comparing imported systems. Materials and Methods: Rotational freedom between abutments and fixtures/analogs was investigated by using digitalized rotational angle measuring device. (1) 1 domestic external connection system(Neobiotec) and 2 imported external connection systems(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr), (2) 1 domestic internal connection system(Dentium) and 4 imported external connection systems(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr, Straumann, Frident Dentsply), and (3) 1 domestic zirconia external connection abutment(ZirAce) were evaluated. Each group has 3 samples. Mean values for each group were analyzed. Results: The differences relative to rotational freedom between domestic and imported implant systems were observed but domestic external connection implant system showed about 2.67 degrees(in case of fixture) and internal connection system showed about 4.3 degrees(in case of fixture). Domestic zirconia abutment showed less than 3 degrees of rotational freedom in a situation where the abutment was connected to an implant fixture egardless of domestic or imported systems. Conclusion: Newly developed digitalized rotational angle measuring device has high measuring resolution. The rotational freedom of domestic implant systems were similar to imported implant systems.
