Button layout of mobile phone depends on the manufacturer and is going to be characterized in it's own way. So, there is not a standard layout except for numeric part. It is due to the lack of study on physical user interface and methodology to develop a design guideline. This study focuses on suggesting a methodology for development of button layout for mobile phone in term of physical user interface. The methodology of this study starts from scenarios of mobile phone usage. Operational sequences of 4 scenarios for 5 models are gathered based on the user manual. Proximity of each buttons is calculated according to the operational sequence. One of 5 models is selected and benchmarked by evaluating operational path. Considerations and directions are implicated to develop new solution alternatives. After evaluation of them, one of alternatives is suggested as an optimized button layout for mobile phone. This study focuses on an attempt to suggest a methodology of UI development in the matter of physical user interface, and a simple and easy way to be adopted and used at product designer level, compared to existing UI methodology for the expert.

본 논문 에서는 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계하고, 불확실한 정보를 갖는 입력 데이터에 대하여 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템과 성능을 비교한다. Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템은 외부 잡음에 민감한 단점을 가지고 있는 반면, Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템은 불확실한 정보를 잘 표현 할 수 있다. 따라서 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 이용하여 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 2가지의 모델을 설계한다. 첫 번째 모델은 규칙의 전 후반부가 Type-1 퍼지 집합으로 구성된 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계 한다. 두 번째는 규칙 전 후반부에 Type-2 퍼지 집합으로 구성된 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계한다. 여기서 규칙 전반부의 입력 공간 분할 및 FOU(Footprint Of Uncertainty)형성에는 FCM(Fuzzy C_Means) clustering 방법을 사용하고, 입자 군집 최적화(Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 사용하여 최적의 파라미터를 설계한다. 본 논문 에서는 또한 입력 데이터에 인위적으로 가하는 노이즈에 따른 각각 모델의 성능을 비교한다. 마지막으로 비선형 모델 평가에 주로 사용되는 NOx 데이터를 제안된 모델에 적용하고, 실험을 통하여 노이즈가 첨가되고, 불확실한 정보를 다루기에 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템 보다 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템이 효율적이라는 것을 보인다.

전 세계적으로 많은 나라들이 기후변화에 적응하기 위해 수자원 관리 전략을 마련하고 있으며, 수자원의 근간이 되는 빗물의 효율적 사용을 위해 우리나라에서도 빗물이용시설이 많이 도입되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사용자 편의 환경(graphical user interface; GUI)을 갖춘 빗물이용시설의 용량 결정 프로그램(capacity design aid for rainwater harvesting; CARAH)을 개발하여 관련 연구와 업무에 활용성을 높이고자 하였다. CARAH는 저수지 질량 보존식과 python의 pyswarm package에 탑재된 메타 휴리스틱 방법 중 하나인 입자 군집 최적화(particle swarm optimization; PSO) 기법을 연계하여 빗물이용시설의 최적 용량을 짧은 시간에 결정될 수 있도록 개발되었다. 그리고, C#의 Windows Forms Application을 이용하여 사용자 편의 환경을 구현하였다. CARAH의 입력 자료는 모의 기간, 유입량, 목표공급량, 공급보장률이고, 출력 자료는 공급보장률-저류조용량, 목표공급량-실공급량-미달성량, 저류용량-유입량-실공급량이다. 빗물이용시설 계획에 필요한 여러 입력 자료를 쉽게 입력할 수 있도록 구현하였고, 그래프와 표의 형태로 계산된 결과를 화면에 직접 표출함으로써 사용자가 직관적으로 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 한편, 입·출력 자료를 포함한 분석 결과는 파일로 관리할 수 있도록 기능을 갖추어 수정 및 보완 등의 반복적 활용이 가능하도록 하였다. 개발된 프로그램의 활용성을 검토하기 위해 실제 저류지가 설계된 인천의 청라지구 1공구를 대상으로 적용하였고, 분석 결과의 적절성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 CARAH는 빗물이용시설의 용량 결정에 관한 효율을 높일 수 있는 프로그램이고, 누구나 쉽고 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 프로그램으로서 향후 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this research was to optimize electric current production of sediment microbial fuel cells by injecting glucose and to investigate its impact on microbial communities involved. It was shown that injection of proper concentration of glucose could increase electric current generated from sediment microbial fuel cells. When 1,000 mg/L of glucose, as opposed to higher concentrations, was injected, electric current increased up to 3 times. This increase is mainly attributed to the mutual relationship between fermenting bacteria and exoelectrogenic bacteria. Here the organic acids generated by fermenting bacteria could be utilized by exoelectrogenic bacteria, removing feedback inhibition caused by the organic acids. When glucose was injected, the population of Clostridium increased as to ferment injected glucose. Glucose fermentation can have either a positive or negative effect on electric current generation. When exoelectrogenic bacteria may readily utilize the end-product, electric current could increase. However, when the end-product was not readily removed, then detrimental chemical reactions (pH decrease, methane generation, organic acids accumulation) occurred: exoelctrogenic bacteria population declined and non-microbial fuel cell related microorganisms prospered. By injecting a proper concentration of glucose, a mutual relationship between fermenting bacteria, such as Clostridium, and exoelectrogenic bacteria, such as Geobacter, should be fulfilled in order to increase electricity production in mixed cultures of microorganisms collected from the aquatic sediments.

Histograms are popularly used for selectivity estimation in database systems. In conventional histogram methods, buckets return the approximated results based on the assumption that all objects in a bucket are uniformly distributed. However, the objects within the region of a query are not likely to be uniformly distributed. That is, there can be some skews (i.e., clusters) in the buckets, which may significantly degrade the accuracy of the histogram. The aim of this work is to enhance the accuracy of histograms. For this purpose, we propose a new two-dimensional histogram method considering clusters. The proposed method detects dense regions and exploits them for organizing buckets. Since the proposed method effectively reduces accuracy degradation caused by clusters, it can provide improved, robust accuracy against skewed data distributions. Through experiments, we show that the proposed method provides up to 74% improved performance compared with the conventional histogram.

This study confirmed the applicability to the field of geotechnical engineering for relatively complicated space and many target design variables in back analysis. The Sharan's equation and the Blum's method were used for the tunnel field and the retaining wall as a model for the multi-variate problem of geotechnical engineering. Optimization methods are generally divided into a deterministic method and a stochastic method. In this study, Simulated Annealing Method (SA) was selected as a deterministic method and Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) and Particle Swarm Optimization Method (PSO) were selected as stochastic methods. The three selected optimization methods were compared by applying a multi-variate model. The problem of deterministic method has been confirmed in the multi-variate back analysis of geotechnical engineering, and the superiority of DEA can be confirmed. DEA showed an average error rate of 3.12% for Sharan's solution and 2.23% for Blum's problem. The iteration number of DEA was confirmed to be smaller than the other two optimization methods. SA was confirmed to be 117.39~167.13 times higher than DEA and PSO was confirmed to be 2.43~6.91 times higher than DEA. Applying a DEA to the multi-variate back analysis of geotechnical problems can be expected to improve computational speed and accuracy.

This paper presents a model that supports decision-makers in the Korean film industry to maximize the success of online movies. To achieve this, we collected historical box office movies and clustered them into types to propose a model predicting each type's online box office performance. We considered various features to identify factors contributing to movie success and reduced feature dimensionality for computational efficiency. We systematically classified the movies into types and predicted each type's online box office performance while analyzing the contributing factors. We used automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques to automatically propose and select machine learning algorithms optimized for the problem, allowing for easy experimentation and selection of multiple algorithms. This approach is expected to provide a foundation for informed decision-making and contribute to better performance in the film industry.

Recently, the quantities of chemical material are increasing in chemical industries. At that time, release accident is increasing due to aging of equipment, mechanical failure, human error, etc. and industrial complexes found community properties in a specific area. For that matter, chemical release accident can lead to hight probability of large disaster. There is a need to analyze the boundaries optimal sensor placement calculated by selecting release scenarios through release condition and wether condition in a chemical process for release detection and response. This paper is to investigate chlorine release accident scenarios using COMSOL. Through accident scenarios, a numerical calculation is studied to determine optimized sensor placement with weight of detection probability, detection time and concentration. In addition, validity of sensor placement is improved by robustness analysis about unpredicted accident scenarios. Therefore, this verifies our studies can be effectively applicable on any process. As mention above, the result of this study can help to place mobile sensor, to track gas release based concentration data.

The composting is a biological process that converts organic matter into useful resources such as fertilizers. It is a continuous transition of microbial communities to adapt changes in organic matter and environmental conditions (carbonation rate, temperature, humidity, oxygen supply, pH, etc.). Most of the composting plants are located in the proximity of the residential areas. It is a general scenario where government authorities receive complaints from the local residents due to release of odor from the composting, and has become a social problem in Korea. Identification of dominant microorganisms, understanding change in microbial communities and augmentation of specific microorganism for composting is vital to enhance the efficiency of composting, quality of the compost produced, and reduction of odor. In this paper, we suggest the optimum operation conditions and methods for compost depot to reduce odor generation. The selection of the appropriate microorganisms and their rapid increase in population are effective to promote composting. The optimal growth conditions of bacteria such as aeration (oxygen), temperature, and humidity were standardized to maximize composting through microbial degradation. The use of porous minerals and moisture control has significantly improved odor removal. Recent technologies to reduce odor from the composting environment and improved composting processes are also presented.

The light buoy, a floating structure at sea, is prone to drifting due to external factors such as oceanic weather. This makes it imperative to monitor for any loss or displacement of buoys. In order to address this issue, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries aims to issue alerts for buoy displacement by analyzing historical buoy position data to detect patterns. However, periodic lifting inspections, which are conducted every two years, disrupt the buoy's location pattern. As a result, new patterns need to be analyzed after each inspection for location monitoring. In this study, buoy position data from various periods were analyzed using convex hull and distance-based clustering algorithms. In addition, the optimal data collection period was identified in order to accurately recognize buoy location patterns. The findings suggest that a nine-week data collection period established stable location patterns, explaining approximately 89.8% of the variance in location data. These results can improve the management of light buoys based on location patterns and aid in the effective monitoring and early detection of buoy displacement.
