Extensive numerical experiments have been carried out to investigate effect of block size and fracture geometry on hydraulic characteristics of fractured rock masses based on connected pipe flow in DFN systems. Using two fracture sets, a total of 72 2-D fracture configurations were generated with different combinations of fracture size distribution and deterministic fracture density. The directional block conductivity including the theoretical block conductivity, principal conductivity tensor and average block conductivity for each generated fracture network system were calculated using the 2-D equivalent pipe network method. There exist significant effects of block size, orientation, density and size of fractures in a fractured rock mass on its hydraulic behavior. We have been further verified that it is more difficult to reach the REV size for the fluid flow network with decreasing intersection angle of two fracture sets, fracture plane density and fracture size distribution.

Multiview Video Coding contains a macroblock-based illumination compensation tool which can compensate the variations of illuminations according to view or temporal directions. Thanks to illumination compensation tool, the coding efficiency of Multiview Video Coding has been enhanced. However illumination compensation tool also generates additional subjective drawbacks of the blocking artifacts due to macroblock-based compensations of mean values. A deblocking filtering method for Multiview Video Coding which is the same as in H.264/AVC does not consider illumination difference between the illumination compensated blocks, thus it can not effectively eliminate the blocking artifacts. Therefore, this paper analyzes the phenomena of blocking artifacts caused by illumination compensation and proposes a method which can effectively eliminate the blocking artifacts with the minimum changes of the H.264 deblockding filtering method. In the simulation results, it can be easily found the blocking artifacts are clearly eliminated in the subjective comparisons, and the average bit-rate reduction is up to 1.44%.

본 논문에서는 비디오 영상에서 장면 전환을 검출하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 장면 전환 검출은 비디오 프레임 사이의 유사도를 측정하여 이루어 진다. 유사도는 비디오 영상의 특성을 나타내는 지표를 추출하고 이를 비교함으로써 얻어진다. 비디오 영상의 특성 지표는 비디오 영상 전체에서 추출하는 것이 일반적이나 제안하는 알고리듬에서는 비디오 영상에서 강한 에지 부분을 포함하는 여러개의 블록에서만 추출된다. 이렇게 함으로써 배경보다 더 중요한 정보를 가진 에지 주변의 칼라 변화에 집중하는 효과를 얻게된다. 실험 결과는 강한 에지 블록에서 얻은 지표가 점진적 장면 전환(dissolve, wipe) 검출에 효과적임을 보여준다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 또한 Cut탐지에도 비교적 좋은 성능을 보인다. 그리고 Fade-in/out을 간단하면서 효과적으로 탐지할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a new post-processing technique that removes blocking and ringing artifacts in Block discrete cosine transformation (BDCT)-coded images using bilateral filtering. The selection of filter parameters is a key issue in the application of a bilateral filter because it significantly affects the result. An efficient method of selecting the bilateral filter parameters is presented. The experimental results show that the proposed approach alleviates the artifacts efficiently in terms of PSNR, MSDS, and SSIM.

In this paper, we present a skipping method of transformation and quantization process using skip blocks estimation in fast H.264 video encoder. In order to reduce the complexity, we estimate skip mode blocks using integer discrete cosine transform and quantization and a skipping condition is derived by the analysis of those processes. The experimental result show that the proposed algorithm has effective estimations.

In agricultural field experiments, the completely randomized block design is often used for the analysis of variety trials. An important assumption is that every experimental unit in each block has the some fertility. But, in most agricultural field experiments there often exists a systematic heterogeneity in fertility among the experimental units. To account for the heterogeneity, we propose to use the hierarchical generalized linear models. We compare our analysis of the data from Scottish Agricultural colleges list with that using Markov chain Monte Carlo method.

Blockchain, which is the basis of virtual assets such as cryptocurrency, is receiving great attention as one of the cornerstone technologies of the 4th industrial revolution. Blockchain is a technology that can fundamentally change our lives not only in finance, but also in politics, logistics, and culture. However, it shows lower-than-expected usability because it is complicated to learn and is continuously being developed. In this study, we tried to investigate whether the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) of virtual assets can be changed through education on the underlying technology, blockchain. A video-based online experiment was conducted with a total of 103 participants and examined how the type of training(positive, negative) and measurement timing(before, after) affect perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, acceptance, which are TAM variables, and trust and security, which are related to blockchain characteristics. As a result of the experiment, interactions were found in all dependent variables according to the type of education and measurement timing. Specifically, groups that received negative education had no difference in all variables before and after, but it was found that groups that received positive education showed an increase afterwards. Through this, it can be seen that the effect of education based on the anchoring effect is also shown in the intention to use virtual assets using block chain technology, suggesting that the intention to use blockchain related technology can be increased through positive education.

Nonparametric procedures in randomized block design was proposed by Friedman (1937) as a general alternative. This method is used to find out the difference in treatment effect. It can cause a loss of inter block information using the ranking in each block. This paper proposed nonparametric procedures using an aligned method proposed by Hodges and Lehmann (1962) to reduce block information based on joint placement suggest by Jo and Kim (2013) in a randomized block design. We also compared the power of the test of the proposed procedures and established method through a Monte Carlo simulation.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the block shear and the fracture in the net section, according to AISC Specifications, by analysing the shear lag effect in the block shear rupture of the single angle with three or four bolt connection. Specimen with three or four bolt connections showed that failure generally went from block shear with some net section failures to classic net section failures. From the test results, showed that the connection length, the thickness of angle, and reduction factor, which affect the block shear rupture, were investigated. According to the test results, it is suggested that the calculation of the net section rupture capacity by using the reduction factor of U, that was suggested by Kulak, is needed.

Lego block system forms a temporary pavement area using the assembled structure block in the road excavation work for the maintenance and installation of facilities. This system was developed for a safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians. A study on the fundamental performance of a lego block system was performed through material quality, sliding resistance and compression tests. And compaction performance of ground on the road was reviewed and evaluated through field tests. As a result, a lego block system for road recovery showed the excellent performance and compaction effect.
