In order to evaluate radiation dose on the uterus and surrounding organs during brachytherapy for cervical cancer, of which the frequency of occurrence is high in Korean women, as well as radiation dose on medical staffs in proximity of patients receiving the therapy, a mathematical phantom based on reference Korean was established and the radiation dose was calculated accordingly. For simulation, $^{192}Ir$, which is useful in brachytherapy, was selected as radionuclide. Also, it was presumed that the intensity of initial radiation was 1 Ci. The result indicated the radiation of 4.92E-14 Gy/Ci in the uterus, the source organ. In addition, radiation on people around patient receiving the therapy was found to be 1.24E-07 Sv at a distance of 30 cm.

Many teachers at vocational high schools have had difficulties overcoming the gap between what students know and what students have to achieve in many topics. Mathematics is toughest of all, since most of textbooks in electronics are assuming student's basic knowledge in math. Considering that many students with very low achievements are entering vocational high schools, reality is far from such assumption. Inevitably, we have to face two difficult questions; do we have enough time to teach these kids all the math that they need in two years? If not, what alternatives we should adopt? We just do not have enough time and therefore find out a way to cope with harsh reality. According to our preliminary study, we suggest that multimedia-based CAI may be the best way to attack this problem. From hardware point of view, fortunately, many of vocational high schools are reasonably equipped for multimedia-based education. However there have been hardly any effort to develop courseware for vocational education in Korea. In this paper, a CAI title for learning basic characteristics of alternating current has been designed and implemented. The developed multimedia-based CAI title has been applied with respect to first grade students at local vocational high schools. A survey after classes shows that CAI could help student feel much comfortable with Basic Electricity course and grasp physical understanding much easily. Accordingly we conclude that classes adopting CAI would be of great help to put education in vocational high schools on the right track.

This paper presents the analysis of the human driving behavior based on the expression as a GMDH technique focusing on the driver's collision avoidance maneuver. The driving data are collected by using the three dimensional driving simulator based on CAVE, which provides stereoscopic immersive vision. A GMDH is also introduced and applied to the measured data in order to build a mathematical model of driving behavior. From the obtained model, it is found that the longitudinal distance between cars($x_1$), the longitudinal relative velocity($x_2$) and the lateral displacement between cars($x_4$) play important roles in the collision avoidance maneuver under the 3D environments.

최근 컴퓨터 기술의 발전으로 수심방향으로 완전한 운동방정식인 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하는 3차원 수치모형에 의한 연구가 기초과학 분야인 수학에서부터 공학은 물론 의학 분야까지 광범위하게 진행되고 있다. 3차원 수치모형을 이용한 연구는 이론적으로 매우 우수하긴 하나 정확도 높은 결과를 얻기 위해서는 매우 조밀한 격자를 필요로 하기 때문에 아직까지 막대한 계산시간이 필요하다는 단점이 있으나 근래의 컴퓨터 기술이 엄청난 속도로 발전하고 있는 점을 감안할 때 적용 가능성은 계속 높아지고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 따라 해안공학 분야에서도 3차원 수치모형을 이용한 다양한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 복잡한 해안구조물로 인한 파랑변형 및 구조물의 안전성 등을 검토할 때 기존의 평면 2차원 수치모형이나 연직 2차원 수치모형으로는 재현이 힘들어 상대적으로 수치모형을 활용한 연구의 효용성이 낮았던 것에 비해 3차원 수치모형을 활용할 경우 복잡한 지형 및 구조물의 형상을 재현할 수 있기 때문에 좀 더 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 한편, 파랑변형을 다루는 수치모형실험을 수행할 때 외부조파를 사용할 경우 구조물이나 지형에 의해 반사되어 나온 파랑이 조파지점에 도달할 때 실험영역으로 재 반사되는 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 내부조파기법의 개발에 대한 연구가 필수적이었으며, 2차원 수치모형을 중심으로 그 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되어 왔으나 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형의 경우 상대적으로 연구가 미흡하였다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형에서 내부조파기법을 도입하여 목표 파랑을 조파하였다. 수치모형은 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 엇갈림 격자체계에서 계산하는 유한차분모형으로 자유수면 추적에는 2차 정확도의 VOF(volume-of-fluid) 기법을 사용한다. 수치모형실험 결과를 일정한 수심을 전파하는 정현파의 해석해와 비교하였으며, 수치모형실험 결과가 비교적 정확하게 목표 파랑을 조파할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

The software rejuvenation method for highly available multiplex systems uses a pro-active fault-tolerant approach to handle system failures. The software rejuvenation prevents failures from occurring, while the previous methods recover from failures after happening. Especially, since the software aging proceeds fast in the software used for the multimedia mobile computing due to the loss of communications or data, the preventive method from failures using software rejuvenation can be used for the multimedia mobile computing. In this paper, according to the operational parameters such as rejuvenation period, rejuvenation time, failure rate and repair rate of the servers, number of running servers, duration of running time, and type of running modes, we calculate steady-state probabilities, downtime, availability, and cost of the multiplex systems using software rejuvenation method. We validate the closed-form solutions of the mathematical model by experiments based on various operational parameters and find that the software rejuvenation method can be adopted as preventive fault-tolerant technique. The failure rate and unstable rate of the servers are essential factors for the decision making of the rejuvenation policies.

A computational color palette extraction model is introduced to describe paint brush objectively and efficiently. In this model, a color palette is defined as a minimum set of colors in which a painting can be displayed within error allowance and extracted by the two step processing of color grouping and major color extraction. The color grouping controls the resolution of colors adaptively and produces a basic color set of given painting images. The final palette is obtained from the basic color set by applying weighted k-means clustering algorithm. The extracted palettes from several famous painters are displayed in a 3-D color space to show the distinctive palette styles using RGB and CIE LAB color models individually. And the two experiments of painter classification and color transform of photographic image has been done to check the performance of the proposed method. The results shows the possibility that the proposed palette model can be a computational color analysis metric to describe the paint brush, and can be a color transform tool for computer graphics.

An analytical model of undertow is presented in the surf zone. Each term of the derived governing equation is evaluated by the ordering methods. Then the turbulent normal stresses and the streaming velocity terms are neglected. The driving force of undertow is derived from the wave profile which is approximated by the 4th order Chebyshev polynomials. The three types of vertical distribution of eddy viscosity are assumed and the coefficient of eddy viscosity is decided from the new boundary condition. So the input parameters for the calculation of undertow become very simple. The theoretical solutions of the present model are compared with the various experimental results. This model shows a good agreement with the experimental results in the case of mild slope and linear type eddy viscosity.

Many processes such as machining, injection-moulding and metal-forming are usually operated by hydraulic servo-systems. The dynamic characteristics of these systems are complex and highly non-linear and are often subjected to the uncertain external disturbances associated with the processes. Consequently, the conventional approach to the controller design for these systems may not guarantee accurate tracking control performance. An effective neuro-fuzzy controller is proposed to realize an accurate hydraulic servo-system regardless of the uncertainties and the external disturbances. For this purpose, first, we develop a simplified fuzzy logic controller which have multidimensional and unsymmetric membership functions. Secondly, we develop a neural network which consists of the parameters of the fuzzy logic controller. It is show that the neural network has both learning capability and linguistic representation capability. The proposed controller was implemented on a hydraulic servo-system. Feedback error learning architecture is adopted which uses the feedback error directly without passing through the dynamics or inverse transfer function of the hydraulic servo-system to train the neuro-fuzzy controller. A series of simulations was performed for the position-tracking control of the system subjected to external disturbances. The results of simulations show that regardless of inherent non-linearities and disturbances, an accuracy tracking-control performance is obtained using the proposed neuro-fuzzy controller.
