Objectives: This study is to investigate the prevalence and related factors of metabolic syndrome among Korean adults aged 20 years and above. Methods: From the database of the $5^{th}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V) conducted in 2010, data of 5,670 adults who responded to all the questionnaires of health interview and had metabolic syndrome in the health examination were included in this analysis. SAS 9.2 was used for statistical analysis with complex sample survey modules and commands. Results: The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome based on the criteria proposed by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) was 18.8%. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in each group was: 20.7% of women, 43.1% among elderly over 70 years old, 40.6% of the divorced or the separated, 27.6% of recipients of economic support from the government, 23.6% of people who had alcohol dependency problem, and 43.7% of overweight or obese adults. Independent risk factors based on the multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that prevalence of metabolic syndrome was associated with female (odds ratio 1.59 [95% confidence interval 1.20-2.11]), age (50s 3.95 [2.11-7.37], 60s 5.62 [2.98-10.61], 70s 10.56 [5.25-21.25]), high school education (0.52 [0.37-0.74]), clerk occupation (2.14 [1.27-3.60]), divorced marital status (1.72 [1.15-2.59]), alcohol dependency (1.86 [1.16-2.98]), higher BMI (14.08 [10.60-18.70]). Conclusions: The metabolic syndrome is prevalent among Korean adult population according to IDF criteria. Several demographic characteristics and potentially modifiable factors are associated with metabolic syndrome. Identification of this high-risk group and management of these modifiable factors are warranted to reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

본 연구에서는 주흐름방향으로 식생 영역이 교차적으로 존재하는 개수로 흐름에 대한 3차원 수치 모의를 수행하였다. 지배방정식의 난류 폐합을 위해 $k-{\varepsilon}$ 난류모형을 이용하였다. 먼저, 하상의 일부만 식재된 부분 식생 수로를 수치모의 하고 기존의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 모형이 평균유속 분포를 매우 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났으나, 레이놀즈응력 분포는 실험 결과에 비해 비식생영역에서는 다소 과소 산정하고 식생영역에서는 과대 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 본 모형이 등방성 모형이기 때문에 식생 경계부에서 발생되는 난류의 비등방성 효과를 정확히 예측 할 수 없기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 주흐름방향으로 식생 영역이 교차적으로 존재하는 대응 식생 수로를 수치모의하고, 계산 결과를 기존의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 모형이 대응 식생 수로에서의 유속 분포를 매우 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 식생 밀도가 증가함에 따라 식생이 흐름 방향을 변화시켜 점차 만곡수로와 유사한 형태의 흐름이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 직접조작 방법을 이용하여 대화형 유전자 알고리즘(IGA)의 진화성능을 향상시키고 세대를 반복하면서 다양한 해를 얻을 수 있음을 NK-Landscape를 이용해 분석한다. 또한 NK모델을 이용하여 직접조작의 진화과정을 분석하기 위한 IGA 인터페이스를 생성한다. IGA를 이용한 진화는 특성상 적온 수의 개체와 세대수로 제한되기 때문에 지역해에 빠질 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 IGA 의 제약사창을 극복하는 방법으로 직접조작을 이용할 수 있으며 이 방법은 사용자가 원하는 개체를 생성할 수 있도록 진화과정에서 유전자를 직접 변경한다. IGA 에서 진화성능의 향상과 다양한 해외 생성을 분석하기 위하여 진화연산자인 교차, 돌연변이와 직접조작 방법의 성능을 비교 분석한다. Kauffman이 제안한 NK-Landscape로 진화과정에서 해공간이 얼마나 "ruggedness" 한지와 다양한 진화연산자에서 어떤 성능을 갖는지 분석할 수 있다 실험을 통해 3D 꽃 디자인 문제에서 NK-landscape기반 IGA인터페이스를 이용하여 IGA 해공간을 분석하고 교차, 돌연변이와 직접조작 방법의 성능을 비교함으로써 직접조작 방법으로 더 빠른 시간에 다양한 최적해를 찾을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The goals of this study are to develop travel time functions based on intersection delay and to analyze the applicability of the functions to traffic assignment models. The study begins with the premise that the existing assignment models can not effectively account for intersection delay time. In pursuing the goals, this study gives particular attention to dividing the link travel time into link moving time and stopped time at node, making the models based on such variables as the travel speed, volume, geometry, and signal data of signalized intersections in Cheongju, and analyzing the applicability of these models to traffic assignment. There are several major findings. First, the study presents the revised percentage of lanes (considering type of intersection) instead of g/C for calculating intersection delay, which is analyzed to be significant in the paired t-test. Second, the assigned results of applying these models to the Cheongju network in EMME/2 are compared with the data observed from a test car survey in Cheongju. The analyses show that the BPR models do not consider the intersection delay, but the modified uniform delay model and modified Webster model are comparatively well fitted to the observed data. Finally, the assigned results of applying these models are statistically compared with the test car survey data in assigned volume, travel time, and average speed. The results show that the estimates from the divided travel time model are better fitted to observed data than those from the BPR model.

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm to develop a 3D terrain tools which is essential in the development of 3D computer games. In particular, this paper proposes a cross detection technique to improve picking speed. In other words, this paper proposes a more efficient cross detection technique consisting of a ray and a parallelogram than a cross detection technique consisting of a ray and a triangle. So, we can confirm the faster picking speed. This paper uses a picking example among DirectX SDK samples to test it. In addition, this paper compares the number of function calls for cross detection using the existing techniques and the proposed technique. As a result, in this paper the proposed technique has fallen off to about a 50 percent than the existing techniques. And if it is calculated by times, in this paper the proposed technique was reduced to 1 to 2 seconds than the existing techniques. Additionally, in this paper 3D terrain tools are provide more improved algorithms for features such as texture splatting, height map control, object arrangement and realistic water effect. So, 3D terrain tools is available efficient in the development of real 3d computer games.

Assessing bioequivalence between original drug and generic drug is traditionally based on $2{\times}2$ crossover design. As bioequivalence trials for highly variable drugs are getting popular, the required sample size based on $2{\times}2$ crossover design would be very large, which might cause the ethical concerns. Regulatory agencies like EMA and MFDS recommended higher order crossover designs such as $2{\times}4$, $4{\times}2$ and $4{\times}4$ crossover designs. Alternatively, a $2{\times}3$ dual design may be recommended in terms of economical and ethical points of view in comparison with the $2{\times}4$ crossover design for highly variable drug. In this study, we consider some statistical characteristics of $2{\times}3$ dual design and propose statistical procedures for calculating sample size and assessing bioequivalence based on $2{\times}3$ dual design. We also discuss the proposed procedures from the perspective of newly revised bioequivalence guidance issued by MFDS.

Controlled traffic intersection is critical point in terms of transportation network performance, where the most of traffic congestion arises. One of the most important and favorable measure of effectiveness in the signal controlled intersection is approach delay. Although lots of efforts to develop traffic delay estimation models have been made throughout the years, most of them were focusing on homogeneous traffic flow. The purpose of this research is to develop a traffic delay estimation model for traffic flow mixed with bus based on the horizontal shockwave theory. Traffic simulation is performed to test the adaptation level of the model in generic environment. The result shows that the delay increases with increasing bus traffic. Overall model accuracy comparing simulation result is acceptable, that shows the error range around 10 percent.

The comparison between time-lapse seismic datasets is the most popular method in the reservoir monitoring. The method of extracting the changes only due to the change in the reservoir is the essential technique in the comparison of time-lapse seismic datasets. In the paper, the conventional cross-equalization approaches and an enhanced optimized approach have been tested and compared each other. As conventional approaches, the bandwidth equalization and phase rotation methods have been tested in frequency, time and mixed domains, respectively and their results were compared each other. In order to overcome the limit of the conventional approaches, which loses high frequency components, a new constrained optimum filtering method was proposed and experimented. The new constrained filtering method has shown the improvement in broadening the bandwidth of the components of reservoir changes by acquiring optimized match filter.
