An analysis and design of large-scale linear multivariable systems often requires to be block triangularized form for good sensitivity of the systems when their poles and zeros are varied. But the decomposition algorithms presented up to now need a procedure of permutation, rescaling and a solution of nonlinear algebraic equations, which are usually burden. To avoid these problem, in this paper we develop a newly alternative block triangular decomposition algorithm which used the generalized matrix sign function on the Z-plane. Also, the decomposition algorithm demonstrated using the fifth order linear model of a distillation tower system.

스트레스 심전계에서 발생되는 근잡음을 제거하기 위하여 wavelet interpolation filter(WIF)를 설계하였다. WIF는 크게 웨이브렛 변환부와 보간법 적용부로 구성되어 있다. 웨이브렛 변환부는 Haar 웨이브렛을 이용하였으며 심전도 저주파 영역과 고주파 영역으로 분할하는 과정이다. 보간법 적용부에서는 분할되어진 신호 중 A3을 선택하여 신호의 재생 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 보간법을 적용하였다. WIF의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 신호대 잡음비, 재생신호 자승오차 및 표준편차의 파라미터를 이용하였다. 본 실험에서는 MIT/BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스, European ST-T 데이터베이스 및 삼각파형을 이용하여 성능 파라미터를 측정하였다. 결과적으로 WIF는 성능 파라미터에서 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 평균값 필터, 중간값 필터 및 hard thresholding 방법에 비해 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Crawling robots are advantageous in overcoming obstacles. These robots have characteristics such as light weight and outstanding mobility. In case of large robots, they have difficulties passing narrow gaps or entering the cave. In this paper, we propose a milli-scale hexapedal robot using 4-bar linkages. Two conditions are necessary to enable efficient walking. In short, the trajectory of the foot must be elliptical, and the lowest point of the foot should be the same. These conditions are satisfied with a novel leg design. The robot has a pair of three legs and the legs are coupled to operate simultaneously. Each set of the legs are installed to robot's both sides and the legs satisfy the equal lowest foot point and elliptical trajectory. As a result, this hexapedal robot can crawl with 0.56m/s speed.

In the 1994 Northridge earthquake, connection damage initiated from the beam bottom flange was prevalent. The presence of a concrete slab and resulting composite action was speculated as one of the critical causes of the prevalent bottom flange fracture. In this study, four seismic retrofit schemes are proposed in order to salvage welded steel moment connections with composite floor slabs in existing steel moment frames. Because top flange modification of existing beams is not feasible due to the presence of a concrete floor slab, three schemes of bottom flange modification by using welded triangular or straight haunches or RBS(reduced beam section), and beam web strengthening by attaching heavy shear tab were cyclically tested and analyzed. Test results of this study show that haunch and web-strengthened specimens can eliminate the detrimental effect caused by composite action and ensure excellent connection plastic rotation exceeding 5% rad. Design recommendations for each retrofit scheme together with supplemental numerical studies are also presented.

This study analyzed Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong, Finland, and China National Mathematics Curriculums to find the implications to improve Korean High school Mathematics curriculum. First, at the aspect of mathematics education goals, we can consider to select the logical thinking, the use of mathematics, and the mathematical inquiry in the cognitive domain and self-confidence, brevity, a sense of accomplishment, and the value of mathematics in the affective domain. Second, when high students consider their course, he/she should be able to select mathematics subjects according to her/his desired career and/or major. Third, I found that sine rule, cosine rule and correlation were included as compulsory contents of Japan, Taiwan and China but not Korea. Finally I suggest that we need to show and explain kindly the range of the contents and to develop the Korean mathematics curriculum model.

Godunov형 모형을 이용한 홍수모델링에서는 일반적으로 구조적 사각격자나 비구조적 삼각격자가 주로 적용된다. 2차원 수치모형을 이용한 홍수모델링에서 연구유역의 정보가 격자의 노드나 중심에 입력되므로 적용격자의 유형과 생성방법에 따라 모형의 입력자료 오차에 영항을 줄 수 있다. 따라서, 연구유역이 지형 변동성이 심한 지역이거나 흐름형상이나 흐름변동이 심한 구간이라면, 고해상도 격자를 통해 모형의 입력자료 오차를 최소화할 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2가지 유형에 대한 연구를 수행하였다, 첫 번째는 홍수해석을 위한 2차원 모형의 격자형상과 해상도에 따른 홍수위 및 홍수범람범위를 비교·분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구유역은 2000년 10월 29일부터 11월 19일까지 홍수가 발생한 영국의 Severn 강 유역이다. 연구유역의 홍수 모델링을 위한 지형자료는 3m 해상도의 LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging)를 이용하여 구축하였으며, 격자유형 및 해상도에 따른 2차원 홍수위 및 홍수범람범위를 비교·분석하기 위해서 홍수 발생기간 동안 촬영된 4개(2000년 8월 11, 14, 15, 17일)의 ASAR(Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상자료를 활용하였다. 즉, ASAR 영상으로 촬용된 최대범람시기 및 홍수류의 배수기를 활용하여 최대범람범위뿐만 아니라 홍수가 증가하는 시기와 하류단 배수로 인해 홍수가 감소하는 시기를 모두 포함하는 홍수범람범위에 대한 격자유형별 2차원 홍수범람모형의 계산 결과에 대해 비교하였다. 두 번째는 아마존 강 중류유역의 2,500K㎡ 면적에 해당하는 대규모 유역에 대해 SRTM(Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) 지형자료를 이용하여 홍수기와 갈수기에 대해 2차원 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 위성자료와 비교하였다.

This paper proposes a novel acceleration method for particle based large scale fluid simulation. Traditional particle-based fluid simulation has been implemented by interacting with physical quantities of neighbor particles through the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH) technique[1]. SPH method has the characteristic that there is no visible change compared to the computation amount in a part where the particle movement is small, such as a calm surface or inter-fluid. This becomes more prominent as the number of particles increases. Previous work has attempted to reduce the amount of spare computation by adaptively dividing each part of the fluid. In this paper, we propose a technique to calculate the motion of the entire particles by using the physical quantities of the near sampled particles by sampling the particles inside the fluid at regular intervals and using them as reference points of the fluid motion. We propose a technique to adaptively generate a triangle map based on the position of the sampled particles in order to efficiently search for nearby particles, and we have been able to interpolate the physical quantities of particles using the barycentric coordinate system. The proposed acceleration technique does not perform any additional correction for two classes of fluid particles. Our technique shows a large improvement in speed as the number of particles increases. The proposed technique also does not interfere with the fine movement of the fluid surface particles.

We present the case of a 65-year-old man with maxillary and mandibular complete dentures prepared using neutral zone technique after undergoing mandibulotomy due to tonsil cancer 10 years ago. The patient had a short edentulous period; hence, there was minimal absorption of the alveolar ridge and no abnormality in the motor function of the tongue. However, the retromolar pad was located inside the hamular notch, and the posterior alveolar ridge was relatively turned inward. If the artificial teeth would have been aligned conventionally, the functional space of the tongue would have been invaded, which would have moved the tongue posteriorly thereby reducing the stability of the denture. Therefore, applying the concept of the neutral zone can be a good reference point in such cases. The neutral zone was registered using tissue conditioner, and tooth alignment was performed by making a silicone putty index. The biggest advantage of using neutral zone concept is denture stability. In this case, the neutral zone technique was applied to obtain the lingual alignment limit of the posterior teeth to avoid invasion of the tongue space by the left posterior part of the mandible. Particularly, in case of a patient in which denture stability is difficult to obtain due to absorption of the alveolar ridge, it is believed that better results can be obtained using neutral zone technique.

This study was conducted to investigate dietary and other factors affecting bone mineral density in young Korean collage women. Thirty subjects were recruited; the mean age was 22.1 years and the mean age at menarche was 12.6 years. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in the spine (LS), femoral neck (FN), ward's triangle (WT), and femoral trochanter (FT) by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), and physical activity was assessed by a questionnaire. Dietary intake data were obtained 8 times by using a 24 hour recall method to evaluate the subjects' usual diet. Bone mineral densities of lumbar spine, femoral neck, ward's triangle and femoral trochanter were 1.149 g/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.980 g/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.936 g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 0.759 g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively. The met energy intake of subjects was 1,790 kcal, and calcium and iron intakes were found to be inadequate compared to the Korean RDA. The BMD of the lumbar spine was significantly and positively related to the BMI and intake of vitamin C, carbohydrate, potatoes, fruits and plant food. The BMD of the femur (FN, WT, FT) was positively related to the BMI, to carbohydrate and fruit intake, and to the percentage of plant food in total food intake. Multiple recession analysis showed that fruit intake was significantly related to the BMD of the LS. The subjects'ages and fruit intakes were significantly related to the BMD of the femur (FN, WT, FT). These results indicate that higher fruit intakes may have a beneficial effect on bone mineral density.
