The objective of this study is to explore scale problem and to analyze the relations between scale and geomorphologic parameters of the rainfall-runoff model. Generally, measurement and calculation of geomorphologic parameters rely on and are sensitive to the resolution of source information available. Therefore, rainfall-runoff models using geomorphologic parameters should take account of the effects of the map scale used in their development. The derived rainfall-runoff model considering scale problem in this research is the GIUH type model, that is a basin IUH consisting of the channel network response and hillslope response. The cannel network response is computed by means of the diffusion analogy transformed from linearized St. Venant equation and hillslope response is calculated by 2-parameter gamma distribution function. Representing geomorphologic structure of the channel network and initial distribution of its response is width function. This width function is derived by fractal theory and Melton's law to consider scale problems and is weighted by the source location function (SLF) proposed in this research to increase the applicability.

This study aimed to identify the relationship between depression of the elderly and low back pain. Data were obtained from cross-sectional surveys conducted as a part of the Community Health Survey 2008. The final analysis included data from 3,647 of the 3,649 elderly participants (aged over 65 years), as 2 responses were excluded since they were inaccurate. Data were analyzed with SPSS for Windows (ver. 19.0), using a Rao-Scott ${\chi}^2$-test and Logistic regression by applying a proper weighting. The significance threshold was set as p<0.05. Factors related to the depression of the elderly were low back pain, subjective health status, average sleep duration. Further, depression score was 1.38 times higher in elderly adults with low back pain than elderly adults without low back pain. In order to decrease depression of the elderly with low back pain the development of a program to decrease activities of daily living discomfort and management of low back pain will need to be determined. It is considered necessary to conduct further study to follow through the analysis of the various variables by applying them to the elderly with low back pain and depression.

In this study, a reverse design of the F-theta lens was proposed for a 2D scanner in remote welding applications. The curvature and distance of the lens were set as variables, and the focal length of the lens was set as the marginal ray height. The ZEMAX commercial software was used to perform a simulation with unlimited iterations for the optimization process. The target value was optimized using the internal Merit function with the weight factors of focal length and spot diameter. The number of lenses was four, and the focal length obtained from the results was 135mm that is slightly less than that of the commercial lens, which is set with a focal length of 185 mm. The calculated spot diameters are $1.3{\mu}m$, $6.2{\mu}m$, and $16.1{\mu}m$ for $0^{\circ}$, $12.5^{\circ}$ and $23^{\circ}$ of incident laser beam, respectively. It is expected that an optimized lens design is possible by performing the reverse design of a lens by the ray tracing method.

Onions are grown in a few specific regions of Korea that depend on the climate and the regional characteristic of the production area. Therefore, when onion yields are to be estimated, it is reasonable to use a statistical model in which both the climate and the region are considered simultaneously. In this paper, using a spatial panel regression model, we predicted onion yields with the different weather conditions of the regions. We used the spatial auto regressive (SAR) model that reflects the spatial lag, and panel data of several climate variables for 13 main onion production areas from 2006 to 2015. The spatial weight matrix was considered for the model by the threshold value method and the nearest neighbor method, respectively. Autocorrelation was detected to be significant for the best fitted model using the nearest neighbor method. The random effects model was chosen by the Hausman test, and the significant climate variables of the model were the cumulative duration time of sunshine (January), the average relative humidity (April), the average minimum temperature (June), and the cumulative precipitation (November).

The purpose of the study was to determine the general characteristics that affect strokes caused by smoking, to provide basic data and political grounds for preventing strokes. Data were used from the 6th (2015) of the National Health and Nutrition Survey. Among the study participants were 2,146 smokers and 132 strokers. Data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 21.0. The findings of the study were as follows: strokes increased the odds ratio 1.7 times(p<0.001) when smoking was performed, and the risk factors for strokes caused by smoking were statistically significant in age(p=0.008, p=0.10), education level(p=0.003, p=0.008), hypertension(p<0.001), and subjective health conditions(p=0.008). Therefore, it is necessary to develop health education contents using smart devices and a consistent national health policy to reduce the occurrence and risk of stroke.

In this study, after estimating VCI (Vegation Condition Index), TCI (Thermal Condition Index) and VHI (Vegetation Health Index) from the NDVI (Normalized Differentiation Vegetation Index) and LST (Land Surface Temperature) remotely sensed at major sites in Korea during the 2001-1919 period, the correlation between these indices and various drought indices is analyzed for the purpose of assessing the effects of ecological drought. The relative impact of VCI and TCI on vegetation health was found to vary by region. The effects of drought on vegetation in Korea's forest areas could be more clearly identified in TCI than in VCI. It is suggested that the revised VHI, reflecting the relative influence of VCI and TCI, can better explain the effects of drought on vegetation.

When the sensor geometry is poor, the user position estimate obtained by of GN (Gauss-Newton) method is often diverged in radio navigation. In other to avoid divergence problem QCLS (Quadratic Correction Least Square) method using TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) measurements is introduced, but the estimation error is somewhat large. This paper presents the modified QCLS method using weighted least square. Since the weighting matrix is influenced by the unknown user position, two-step approach is employed in the proposed method. The weighting matrix is estimated in the first step using least square, and then find user position is obtained using weighted least square. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method is superior to the conventional QCLS all over the workspace.

Minimum Letter Flips(MLF) and Weighted Minimum Letter Flips(WMLF) can perform the haplotype reconstruction more accurately from SNP fragments when they have many errors and gaps by introducing the related genotype information. And it is known that WMLF is more accurate in haplotype reconstruction than those based on the MLF. In the paper, we analyze two models under the conditions that the different rates of homozygous site in the genotype information and the different confidence levels according to the sequencing quality. We compare the performance of the two models using neural network and genetic algorithm. If the rate of homozygous site is high and sequencing quality is good, the results of experiments indicate that WMLF/GI has higher accuracy of haplotype reconstruction than that of the MCIH especially when the error rate and gap rate of SNP fragments are high.

In this paper, a new regularization method by parameter subset selection method is proposed based on the residual force vector for damage localization. Although subset selection using the fundamental modal characteristics as a residual function has been successful in detecting a single damage location, this method seems to have limited capabilities in the detection of multiple damage locations and typically requires cumbersome weighting values. The method is presented herein and considers cases in which damage detection must be achieved using incomplete measurements of the structural responses. Model expansion is incorporated to deal with this challenge. The unique advantage of employing the new regularization method is that it can reliably identify multiple damage locations. Through an illustrative example, the proposed damage detection method is demonstrated to be a reliable tool for identifying multiple damage locations for a planar truss structure.

증권의 가격형성에 유리한 뉴스와 불리한 뉴스가 도착할 때 이 뉴스가 주가의 변동성에 미치는 영향의 정도는 차이가 있다. 불리한 뉴스가 변동성에 미치는 영향도가 유리한 뉴스가 변동성에 미치는 영향도보다 크다. 따라서 불리한 뉴스가 발생할 때 형성되는 변동성의 양이 유리한 뉴스의 도착시보다 크다. 그리고 충격의 크기에 따라 이 충격이 야기하는 변동성의 양의 크기에도 차이가 존재한다. 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정은 유리한 뉴스와 불리한 뉴스를 대칭적으로 반영하고 있다. 이 뉴스들을 비대칭적으로 포착하는 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정의 모형들을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모를 적절히 포착하고 있는 모형들이 비선형 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정, 지수 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정과 정보 포착 자기회귀 조건부 이분간 과정임이 발견되었다. 이 중 비선형 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정이 가장 좋은 모형으로 보인다. 비선형 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정의 경우 예측오차의 승멱(power)이 약 1.5이다. 따라서 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정의 예측오차의 승멱인 2에 비하여 작다. 이 사실은 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산의 예측오차의 승멱이 과도하게 측정되고 없음을 알 수 있다. 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모를 반영하고 있는 모형들은 한결같이 예측오차의 크기에 적절한 가중치를 부여하여 예측오차의 크기를 조정하고 있다. 이 모형의 성질과 실증분석의 결과에 의하여 예측오차의 승멱은 2 이하로 수정하여 사용해야 한다는 점이 시사되고 있다. 음의 충격이 양의 충격보다 주가의 변동성을 크게 하고 없음이 발견되었다. 주가형성에 유리한 뉴스와 불리한 뉴스가 주가의 변동성에 미치는 영향의 차이와 충격의 중대성을 양으로 표시하는 규모의 차이를 반영해주는 변수들의 추정된 계수가 미국과 일본보다 절대값에 있어서 상당히 작다. 이 현상은 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모보다는 발생하는 충격, 즉 뉴스 자체에 보다 민감하게 반응하고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 물론 투자자들이 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모를 완전히 무시하고 투자활동을 전개하고 있다는 것을 의미하는 것은 아니다.
