Rare earth based calcium aluminate phosphor ($CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Nd^{3+}$) supported $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are synthesized by using sol-gel method, which are further characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-Visible spectroscopy (DRS UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD pattern of as-prepared and sintered phosphor supported $TiO_2$ does not show the tendency to change the crystal structure from anatase to rutile phase up to $600^{\circ}C$. This indicates that the phosphor support might inhibit the densification and crystallite growth by providing dissimilar boundaries. The diffuse reflectance spectral (DRS) measurements showed shift towards longer wavelength indicating reduction in the band-gap energy as compared to free $TiO_2$. The FT-IR spectra of phosphor supported $TiO_2$ nanoparticles show shift in the peak positions to lower wavelengths. This indicates that the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are not free, but covalently bonded to the phosphor support. TEM micrographs show presence of crystalline and spherical $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (8 - 15 nm diameter) dispersed uniformly on the surface of phosphor.

This study aimed to present that the understanding of the relational structure among stakeholders of a national park with the usage of 'social network analysis' can help more effectively to diagnose conflicts among stakeholders and to resolve them, Conducting a telephone-interview survey with 12 stakeholders of the Taean-Haean National Park, Republic of Korea, this study examined their perception of conflicts related to the park, and compared their social networks when their conflicts emerged with their networks when the conflicts did not appear. When the conflicts appeared, the more respondents tried to seek other information sources apart from the Korea National Park Service (KNPS) and the fewer interactions among the stakeholders occurred than when the conflicts were not present. Based on the findings, it was suggested that KNPS need not to directly distribute information to the stakeholders, and to create the third party to generate more interaction and cooperative relationship among the stakeholders, Thus, it can be said that the employment of social network analysis is worth being employed in the study of conflict management in national parks.

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the log-transformed linear regression model to fit actual battle data from the Ardennes Campaign of World War II into the Lanchester model. The problem of determining a global solution for parameters and multicollinearity problems are identified and modified by examining the results of previous studies on data. The least squares method requires attention because a local solution can be found rather than a global solution if considering a specific constraint or a limited candidate group. The method of exploring this multicollinearity problem can be confirmed by a statistic known as a variance inflation factor. Therefore, the Lanchester model is simplified to avoid these problems, and the combat power attrition rate model was proposed which is statistically significant and easy to explain. When fitting the model, the dependence problem between the data has occurred due to autocorrelation. Matters that might be underestimated or overestimated were resolved by the Cochrane-Orcutt method as well as guaranteeing independence and normality.

Objectives : It is the objective of this study to compare hepatotoxicity of nickel chloride and cadmium chloride with each other through IPRL(Isolated Perfused Rat Liver) method. Methods : Biochemical indicator of hepatic function such as AST(aspartate aminotransferase), ALT(alanine aminotransferase), LDH(lactate dehydrogenase) and perfusion flow rate were used as the indicator of hepatotoxicity. Oxygen consumption rate were used as vability indicator. $300({\pm}50)g$ - weighted rats were allocated randomly to each group($0{\mu}M,\;50{\mu}M,\;200{\mu}M\;NiCl_2\;and\;CdCl_2$ exposure) by 5, totally 25. After Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate butler solution flowed into the penal vein and passed the liver cell, it flowed out of vena cava. Liver was administered with each $NiCl_2\;and\;CdCl_2$ of each concentration and observed with buffer solution sampling time. Butler which got out of liver was sampled and then biochemical indicator of hepatotoxicity was measured. Results : AST, ALT, and LDH in buffer increased with sampling time much more in $CdCl_2$ exposure group than $NiCl_2$ exposure group in both 50 and $200{\mu}M$ and statistical significance w3s verified with 2-way repeated ANOVA. Viability was decreased more and more in all substances during passed time. Conclusions : It is inferred that $CdCl_2$ has stronger hepatotoxicity than $NiCl_2$. IPRL method would be used widely for acute hepatotoxicity when considerating the benefit of it.

In case that group communication protocols assume every process is interested in all events occurring in a large scale group, the events multicasting to a subset of a large process group, such as a sensor network, potentially varying for every event based on their interests might lead to very high communication overhead on each individual process. Moreover, despite the importance of both guaranteeing message delivery order and supporting overlapped group using gossip based group communication for multicasting in sensor or P2P networks, there exist little research works on development of gossip-based protocols to satisfy all these requirements. In this paper, we present a new gossip-based causal message order guaranteeing multicast protocol based on local views and delegates representing subgroups and fully utilizing multi-group features to improve scalability. In the proposed protocol, the message delivery order in overlapped groups has been guaranteed consistently by all corresponding members of the groups including delegates. Therefore, these features of the proposed protocol might be significantly scalable rather than those of the protocols guaranteeing atomic order dependencies between multicast messages by hierarchical membership list of dedicated groups like traditional committee protocols and much stronger rather than fully decentralized protocols guaranteeing dependencies between multicast messages based on only local views. And the proposed protocol is a hybrid approach improving the inherent scalability of multicast nature by gossip-based technique in all communications.

실시간 태스크의 최악 실행시간을 예측할 때 과예측이 발생하는 원인은, 첫째 프로그램의 동적인 최악 실행 행태를 정적으로 분석하는 것이 근본적으로 어렵기 때문이며, 둘째 최근의 RISC 형태 프로세서에 포함되어 있는 파이프라인 실행 구조와 캐쉬 등이 그러한 정적 분석을 더욱 어렵게 만들기 때문이다. 그런데 기존의 연구에서는 각각의 과예측 원인을 해결하기 위한 방법에 대해서만 언급하고 있을 뿐 분석의 정확도에서 각 원인이 차지하는 비중에 대해서는 언급하고 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최악 실행시간 예측시 과예측을 유발하는 원인들, 즉 분석 요소들의 영향을 정량적으로 조사함으로써 기존의 최악 실행시간 분석 기법들이 보완해야 할 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 실험이 특정 분석 기법에 의존하지 않도록 하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 방법에 기반한다. 이를 위해 분석 요소별 스위치가 포함된 MIPS R3000 프로세서를 위한 시뮬레이터를 구현하였는데, 각 스위치는 해당 분석 요소에 대한 분석의 정확도 수준을 결정한다. 모든 스위치 조합에 대해서 시뮬레이션을 반복 수행한 다음 분산 분석을 수행하여 어떤 분석 요소가 가장 큰 영향을 끼치는지 고찰한다.Abstract Existing analysis techniques for estimating the worst case execution time (WCET) of real-time tasks still suffer from significant overestimation due to two types of overestimation sources. First, it is unavoidably difficult to predict dynamic behavior of programs statically. Second, pipelined execution and caching found in recent RISC-style processors even more complicate such a prediction. Although these overestimation sources have been attacked in many existing analysis techniques, we cannot find in the literature any description about questions like which one is most important. Thus, in this paper, we quantitatively analyze the impacts of overestimation sources on the accuracy of the worst case timing analysis. Using the results, we can identify dominant overestimation sources that should be analyzed more accurately to get tighter WCET estimations. To make our method independent of any existing analysis techniques, we use simulation based methodology. We have implemented a MIPS R3000 simulator equipped with several switches, each of which determines the accuracy level of the timing analysis for the corresponding overestimation source. After repeating simulation for all of the switch combinations, we perform the variance analysis and study which factor has the largest impact on the accuracy of the predicted WCETs.

A tentative hydrogeologic and hydrodispersive study was carried out to evaluate the groundwater pollution potential at a selected site by utilizing empirical assessment methodologies in an advanced stage of quantitative computer aided assessment. The upper most aquifer is defind as saturated overburden and weathered zone including the upper part of highly fractured rock. Representative hydraulic conductivity and storativity of the uppermost aquifer are estimated at 2.88 E-6 m/s and 0.09, respectively. Also calculated Darcian and average linear velocity of groundwater along the major pathway are 0.011 m/d and 0.12 m/d with average hydraulic gradient of 4.6% in the site. The results of empirical assessment methodologies indicate that 1) DRASTIC depicts that the site is situated on non-sensitive and non-vulnerable area. 2) Legrand numerical rating system shows that the probability of contamination and degree of acceptability are classed to "Maybe-Improbable, and Probable Acceptable and Marginally Unacceptable" with situation grade of "B". 3)Waste soil-site interaction matrix assessment categorizes that the study site is located on "Class-8 Site".

A difficulty encountered in engineering seismic mapping is that reflection events from shallow discontinuities are commonly overlapped with coherent noise such as air wave, direct waves, head waves, and high-amplitude surface waves. Here, the radial trace transform, a simple geometric re-mapping of a trace gather (x-t domain) to another trace gather (v-t domain), is applied to investigate the rejection effect of coherent linear noises. Two different types of data sets were selected as a representative database: good-quality data for intermediate sounding (hundreds of meters) in a sedimentary basin and very noisy data for shallow (${\leq}50m$) mapping of the weathered zone and bedrock surface. Results obtained with cascaded application of the radial transform and low-cut filtering proved to be as good as, or better than, those produced using f-k filtering, and were especially effective for air wave and direct wave. This simple transform enables better understanding of the characteristics of various types of noise in the RT domain, and can be generally applied to overcoming diffractions and back-scatterings caused by joints, fractures, and faults commonly that are encountered in geotechnical problems.

Deep neural networks(DNN), which are used as approximation functions in reinforcement learning (RN), theoretically can be attributed to realistic results. In empirical benchmark works, time difference learning (TD) shows better results than Monte-Carlo learning (MC). However, among some previous works show that MC is better than TD when the reward is very rare or delayed. Also, another recent research shows when the information observed by the agent from the environment is partial on complex control works, it indicates that the MC prediction is superior to the TD-based methods. Most of these environments can be regarded as 5-step Q-learning or 20-step Q-learning, where the experiment continues without long roll-outs for alleviating reduce performance degradation. In other words, for networks with a noise, a representative network that is regardless of the controlled roll-outs, it is better to learn MC, which is robust to noisy rewards than TD, or almost identical to MC. These studies provide a break with that TD is better than MC. These recent research results show that the way combining MC and TD is better than the theoretical one. Therefore, in this study, based on the results shown in previous studies, we attempt to exploit a random balance with a mixture of TD and MC in RL without any complicated formulas by rewards used in those studies do. Compared to the DQN using the MC and TD random mixture and the well-known DQN using only the TD-based learning, we demonstrate that a well-performed TD learning are also granted special favor of the mixture of TD and MC through an experiments in OpenAI Gym.

브로네마르크가 골유착성 임플랜트를 소개한 이래로, 현재 골유착성 임플랜트에 의한 치료는 안전하고 안정적인 방법으로 여겨지고 있다. 골유착성 임플랜트를 이용한 초기의 치료는 무치악 환자의 저작기능 회복에 중점을 두어 왔다. 그러나 현재는 환자와 시대의 요구에 따라서 심미성이 주요한 관심사가 되었다. 그래서 표준 지대주보다 더 심미적인 지대주 시스템들이 개발되었다. 다양한 직경의 임플랜트 고정체에 관한 임상가들의 요구에 의해 직경 이 큰 고정체가 생산되기 시작했으며, 5mm의 직경을 갖는 고정체가 그 예이다. 골유착성 임플랜트를 사용하여 보철치료를 할 때, 골과 고정체의 계면은 보철물과 지대주에 가해지는 교합력을 인접골에 전달하게 되며, 이것은 계면에 생물학적인 반응을 야기할 수 있다. 임플랜트의 형태는 골흡수와 같은 바람직하지 않은 반응을 일으키지 않도록 고안되어야 하며, 임플랜트 자체가 교합력을 견딜 수 있어야 한다. 그러므로 골유착성 임플랜트 시스템을 임상에 사용하려고 할 때 이것의 생역학적 분석은 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 삼차원 유한요소분석적 방법을 사용하여 3.75mm직경을 갖는 고정체에 표준 지대주, 이세티콘 지대주, 마이러스콘 지대주를 연결한 모델과 5mm 직경을 갖는 고정체에 표준 지대주를 연결한 모델에 각각 수직하중, 경사하중, 수평하중을 가했을 때의 응력분포를 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 모든 모델에서 금나사의 경부, 금원주, 지대주에 응력의 집중이 일어났다. 2. 임플랜트 고정체에서는 고정체 상방 2/3, 그리고 지대주와 접촉하는 고정체 상면에서 응력의 집중이 관찰되었다. 3. 골에서는 상부 피질골에 응력의 집중이 관찰되었으며, 해면골에서는 두드러진 응력의 집중을 보인 부위는 없었으나 고정체의 근단부 주위 해면골에서의 응력값이 비교적 높았다. 4. 5mm 직경의 고정체를 사용하지 않은 모델 중에서, 표준 지대주를 사용한 경우가 가장 응력분산에 유리하였으며 마이러스콘 지대주를 사용한 경우가 가장 불리하였다. 5. 3가지 하중 조건하에서 수평하중과 경사하중의 경우가 수직하중의 경우보다 더 높은 응력값이 관찰되었다. 6. 응력값은 골에서보다 임플랜트 내부에서 훨씬 높았다.
