The variation of ground-penetrating radar(GPR) signal characteristics from dielectric-filled nonmetallic pipes buried in inhomogeneous ground are compared through a numerical simulation. The relative permittivity distribution of the ground is generated by using the continuous random media(CRM) technique. As a function of the relative permittivity of the material filling the nonmetallic pipe buried in the ground media, GPR signals are simulated by using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method. We show that, unlike the case for homogeneous ground, the distortion characteristics of the reflected waves caused by the front convex surface and the rear concave surface of the pipe buried in inhomogeneous ground are different depending on the permittivity contrast between the inside and outside of the pipe.

In order to evaluate the effect of shear wave velocity of a seismic control point on site response analysis, one-dimensional equivalent linear site response analysis were performed on the model soil profile based on the results of a detailed site investigation of sedimentary layers at Incheon and Busan. The results of the analysis show that an increase of shear wave velocity on the seismic control point (base rock) results in an increase of acceleration in the soil layers. This was mainly due to an unclear definition of the seismic control point. For this reason, the Korean Seismic Design Standard requires a specific definition of the seismic control point, including spatial conditions and soil properties, similar to the MCE (Maximum Considered Earthquake) in FEMA 369.

Most analytical solutions for wave-induced soil response have been mainly developed to investigate the influence of the progressive and standing waves on the seabed response in an infinite seabed. This paper presents a new analytical solution to the governing equations considering the wave-induced soil response for the partial standing wave fields with arbitrary reflectivity in a porous seabed of finite thickness, using the effective stress based on Biot's theory (Biot, 1941) and elastic foundation coupled with linear wave theory. The newly developed solution for wave-seabed interaction in seabed of finite depth has wide applicability as an analytical solutions because it can be easily extended to the previous analytical solutions by varying water depth and reflection ratio. For more realistic wave field, the partial standing waves caused by the breakwaters with arbitrary reflectivity are considered. The analytical solutions was verified by comparing with the previous results for a seabed of infinite thickness under the two-dimensional progressive and standing wave fields derived by Yamamoto et al.(1978) and Tsai & Lee(1994). Based on the analytical solutions derived in this study, the influence of water depth and wave period on the characteristics of the seabed response for the progressive, standing and partial standing wave fields in a seabed of finite thickness were carefully examined. The analytical solution shows that the soil response (including pore pressure, shear stress, horizontal and vertical effective stresses) for a seabed of finite thickness is quite different in an infinite seabed. In particular, this study also found that the wave-induced seabed response under the partial wave conditions was reduced compared with the standing wave fields, and depends on the reflection coefficient.

The possession rate of residential telephones tend to decrease as mobile phones are widely spread. There is also a decrease in the access rate of the qualified respondents due to the low rate of phone book registration and that of house owner's presence at home. Such a change in telephone survey environment calls for another survey-channel which makes good use of new telecommunication services. In this paper, a mobile survey system was designed and performed by the use of SMS (Short Message Service) which is a kind of mobile data communication service. The system draws the sample by using random digit sampling based on 'quota allocation', and sends the SMS to the sample according to the arranged scheduler. Then, the survey-panel which received the SMS connects to the responding server by pressing the 'send' button (which is connected by the callback number), responding to the question. As a result, the responding value is stored in the database and is analyzed in real-time. This system is distinguished from other research methodologies for its simplicity in data collection, its inexpensive research price, and the innovatively low research time.

The purpose of the present study is to compare the reduction rate of natural frequency and the increase rate of damping parameter with structural damage in system. For this purpose, experiment and numerical simulation analysis are performed for the 2-span H-Beam with lower natural frequency and higher damping parameter from free vibration in structure. The response signal by impact load before and after damage is analyzed at 14 locations. The response signals for all locations are performed fast fourier transform to estimate the natural frequency reduction rate and wavelet transform to estimate the damping parameter increase rate. The time domain function corresponding to each scale(frequency) is separated from the response signal by wavelet parameter. The estimation of damping parameter increase rate using wavelet transform is more sensitive than the estimation of natural frequency reduction rate in structure.

본 논문은 카오스 신호를 이용하여 안전한 음성신호의 전송을 위한 아날로그 비화통신 시스템의 성능분석에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 카오스 동기화 및 카오스 변조통신 알고리즘을 개선하여 실제 통신환경에서 발생하는 다양한 조건들을 적용하여 음성신호의 복원능력을 모의실험으로 분석하였다. 일반적인 PC 제어기법과 제안한 피드백 마스킹 기법을 사용하여 송신단에서 음성신호를 카오스 신호로 마스킹하여 변조하고, 통신채널에 잡음신호를 추가하여 전송하였다. 수신단에서는 카오스 응답시스템을 이용하여 음성신호를 복조하고, 복원성능을 계산하기 위하여 아날로그 복원 에러신호의 평균전력을 제안하여 계산하였다. 실험결과 마스킹 정도, 파라미터들의 민감성, 채널잡음 등에 대하여 PC 제어기법보다 피드백 제어기법의 복원성능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 로렌쯔 카오스 시스템을 비화통신시스템에 사용할 경우 파라미터들의 조합으로 암호키를 구성해야 하므로 키값들의 선정에 기준이 되는 파라미터 변화율에 대응하는 복원에러율의 관계를 실험 값으로 구하였다.

This study intends to examine how the subjective health perception of drinkers influences the depression trajectory change by using longitudinal data for elderly drinkers. This study has set up a balanced panel by combining the results from "Aging study panel research" conducted in the year 2006 (1st), 2008 (2nd), 2010 (3rd), 2012 (4th). A total of 543 elderly drinkers, who have responded to each research have been selected as targets for the final analysis. In the analyses, descriptive statistics and Latent Growth Modeling were conducted to examine the causal relationship between the observed and latent variables. The results are as follows: First, it was found that there was a negative correlation-with statistical significance-between the initial value of subjective health perception and the initial status of depression symptom. Second, there was a positive correlation between the initial value of subjective health perception and the changes of depression symptom. This indicates that elderly drinkers with high health perception usually have high degree of depression change; however, this does not mean it was statistically significant. Third, there was a statistically significant correlation between subjective health perception change and depression symptom change. It was found that the depression change level would be low if the subjective health perception change level was high. Thus, we can assume that the depression symptoms of elderly drinker c would slow down if the subjective health perception level increases.

Recently, Korean development Institute includes water for environmental improvement as an additional water demand category in water resources development project. In response to this change, this paper is to measure benefits of providing additional water in Yeondok Ohsip River by applying contingent valuation method. This study extended the conventional CVM design by incorporating distance variable into WTP function of dichotonomous choice responses and treated protest bids by estimating sample-selection models. The empirical analysis exhibited that more than 30% of respondents were categorized as protest bids and the mean of WTP from sample selection models were three times higher than that of the whole sample. In addition, the distance variable had significantly negative impact on sample WTP regardless of variables forms, and the geographical market area were more 400km, which implies that beneficiaries of water service would the households from the whole nation.

포항 방사광 가속기 2.5 GeV의 전자선형 가속기는 마이크로웨이브 발생원으로써 80 MW 클라이스트론(klystron) 11대와 입사부에 65 MW 클라이스 트론 1대를 사용한다. 전자빔 에너지의 효율적인 제어를 위하여 고출력 클라이스트론의 RF 전력과 입력 빔의 전력을 정확하게 측정해야 하며 응답특성이 양호한 측정장치와 정밀한 측정이 요구된다. 클라이스트론에 공급되는 전력은 캐소드에 인가되는 전압과 전류의 측정치로 계산된다. 비록 빔 전압측정에서의 작은 오차일지라도 클라이스트론 RF 출력 전력의 결과값에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 빔 전압의 측정시에 정확한 측정을 위하여 특별한 주의가 요구된다. 고전압 펄스전원장치 인 모듈레이터 (modulator)에서 발생되는 수백 kV(350-400 kV)의 전압을 측정하기 위하여 커패시터의 용량비로 입력전압을 분압하는 용량성 분압기(capacitive voltage divider, CVD)가 사용된다. 고압측 분압용 표준 콘덴서의 정전용량을 결정하는 주요인자는 고전압 절연유의 유전율(dielectric constant)이다. 그러므로, 측정범위 내의 전압, 주파수, 온도에 대하여 정전용량의 변화율이 작도록 설계하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 펄스형 고전압 신호 측정을 위한 용량성 전압 분배기의 측정원리, 설계분석, 교정시험, 절연유의 온도변화에 따른 정전용량 변화 특성에 대한 실험 결과를 고찰하고자 한다.

The paper investigates the change of frequency response characteristics on two-stage gear reduction servo system according to the variation of backlash amount of each gear reduction stage, under the condition that the backlash of total system is constant. It is shown that the frequency response characteristics of the system heavily depend on the contribution ratio which is defined as a ratio of the first backlash amount to the total backlash. It is also found that there is an optimal backlash combination to maximize the bandwidth of two-stage gear reduction servo system when the allowable total backlash is determined.
