Neospora caninum infections have been associated with neonatal paresis as well as abortion around the world. Bovine abortion induced by N caninum was first reported in 1997 in Korea. Diagnosis of N caninum infection is usually based on histopathology and immunohistochemical detection of organism. However, often the tissues having lesion suggestive of N caninum infection were negative on immunohistochemistry. Here, we describe establishment of PCR-based diagnostic strategy for N caninum infection using DNA extracted from paraffin blocks containing the lesion. PCR was able to amplify N caninum-specific bands from the paraffin blocks containing at least moderate degree of inflammation. Compared to paraffin-blocks, DNA extracted from fresh tissues were less sensitive than that of paraffin blocks. This PCR-based method can be practically applicable for rapid diagnosis of bovine N caninum infection with high specificity and sensitivity. Based on this method, 17% of bovine abortion surveyed during a designated period was associated with N caninum infection.

In composite girders with steel embedded in concrete as preflex beams, horseshoe connectors and bar connectors are commonly used to achieve composite action. Considering the requirements on the concrete cover in the thin concrete part surrounding a steel member, it has limitations with respect to the use of stud shear connectors, and significant bond and friction resistance can be generated. High horizontal shear strength between the casing concrete and the steel section is needed to introduce prestress to the concrete section in the form of preflex beams.In this paper, experiments on the evaluation of the static strength of horseshoe connectors and bar connectors were conducted and the effects of bonds were also considered. Based on the test results, current design codes were estimated and more general design guidelines that consider the design concept of Eurocode were proposed for the connectors. A strength evaluation according to failure and compared with the test results.

A floating crane is a crane-mounted ship and is used to assemble or to transport heavy blocks in shipyards. In this paper, the static and dynamic response of a floating crane and a heavy block that are connected using elastic booms and wire ropes are described. The static and dynamic equations of surge, pitch, and heave for the system are derived on the basis of flexible multibody system dynamics. The equations of motion are fully coupled and highly nonlinear since they involve nonlinear mass matrices, elastic stiffness matrices, quadratic velocity vectors, and generalized external forces. A floating frame of reference and nodal coordinates are employed to model the boom as a flexible body. The nonlinear hydrostatic force, linear hydrodynamic force, wire-rope force, and mooring force are considered as the external forces. For numerical analysis, the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor method for implicit integration is used. The dynamic responses of the cargo are analyzed with respect to the results obtained by static and numerical analyses.

Design and implementation of remote procedure cail (RPC) resource service system based on the XML considering the request delegation between the servers are described for the resource application and efficient processing of distributed environment. For this purpose, the request information about several server, which would be used by client, is encoded into XML document based on XML-DOM and transferred to server. Server classifies the client requests using objects which can deal with the XMLL-DOM. For the request delegation between the servers, server saves the request result of client in XMLL-DOM structure without replying it immediately, and makes the client request delegated to another server in XML-DOM's request information. In addition, the resource repository are managed for resource transparency of distributed environment. As a result, resource application and processing efficiency are improved by reduction of response time caused by integration of RPC and XML-RPC services and request delegation between the servers. Extension of asynchronous and average blocking time of client were reduced and information of resource which can be used by client was offered.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid super-resolution algorithm robust to cut-change. Existing single-frame based super-resolution algorithms are usually fast, but quantity of information for interpolation is limited. Although the existing multi-frame based super-resolution algorithms generally robust to this problem, the performance of algorithm strongly depends on motions of input video. Furthemore at boundary of cut, applying of the algorithm is limited. In the proposed method, we detect a define boundary of cut using cut-detection algorithm. Then we adaptively apply a single-frame based super-resolution method to detected cut. Additionally, we propose algorithms of normalizing motion vector and analyzing pattern of edge to solve various problems of existing super-resolution algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than other conventional interpolation methods.

Extreme value distributions have often been used for the analysis (e.g., prediction of return level) of data which are observed from natural disaster. By the extreme value theory, the block maxima asymptotically follow the generalized extreme value distribution as sample size increases; however, this may not hold in a small sample case. For solving this problem, this paper proposes the use of a log-logistic (LLG) distribution whose validity is evaluated through goodness-of-fit test and model selection. The proposed method is illustrated with data from annual maximum earthquake magnitudes of China. Here, we present the predicted return level and confidence interval according to each return period using LLG distribution.

Leakage in water distribution system causes social and economic losses by direct water loss into the ground, and additional energy demand for water supply. This research suggests a leak detection model of using adaptive Kalman filtering on real-time data of pipe flow. The proposed model takes into account hourly and daily variations of water demand. In addition, the model's prediction accuracy is improved by automatically calibrating the covariance of noise through innovation sequence. The adaptive Kalman filtering shows more accurate result than the existing Kalman method for virtual sine flow data. Then, the model is applied to data from two real district metered area in JE city. It is expected that the proposed model can be an effective tool for operating water supply system through detecting burst leakage and abnormal water usage.

The effective permeability and the representative element volume(REV) of fracture network model were evaluated based on the parameters such as permeability tensor, principal permeability and the direction of principal permeability. The effective permeability ranges between the harmonic mean and the arithmetic mean of the local permeabilities of subdivided blocks. From the numerical experiments, which were for investigating the influence of model volume on the variation of flux for the cubic models, it was found that the variation of flux became reduced as the model volume approached REV. The variation of groundwater flux into the tunnel in the fracture network model was mainly dependent on the ratio of the tunnel length to model size rather than REV. And it was found that groundwater flux into the tunnel was not completely consistent between the fracture network model and the equivalent porous media model, especially when the ratio of the tunnel length to model size is small.

인천지역의 상수도공급은 팔당댐을 취수원으로 하여 도수, 송수관을 거쳐 인천지역 내 정수장을 통하여 각 급수지역까지 일원화된 관로시스템으로 공급되고 있다. 관망에서의 적절한 수압관리, 노후관로 교체사업 등은 급수관망 내 관로 사고위험을 줄일 수 있고, 누수량을 저감하여 무수율의 감소로 이어질 수 있다. 상수관망 내 누수에 영향을 주는 물리적, 운영적 요소를 파악하고, 이를 이용하여 누수해결을 위한 방법론을 제시하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 인천시 배수관망 데이터를 활용하여 통계분석 및 인공신경망을 통하여 무수율에 영향을 미치는 인자를 선별하고, 무수율과의 연관성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대상지역에 대한 시설현황 및 운영자료를 취득하고, 무수율 분석에 활용하였다. 인천시의 소블럭을 대상으로 관로노후도, 배수관연장, 평균관경, 급수전당 공급량, 누수발생 횟수, 용도지역, 관망구성 형태 등을 고려하여 무수율과의 관계분석을 위한 통계분석을 수행하였다. 특히 급수에 필요한 최소에너지와 관망에서 공급되는 에너지를 비교하기 위하여 관망해석 프로그램인 EPANET을 이용하여 관망내 절점에서의 수압과 수요량이 적용된 최소공급에너지를 활용하였고, 이를 통하여 블록 내 과잉공급에너지와 무수율의 영향성을 비교하였다. 최종적으로 산출된 주요인자에 대한 주성분분석, 분산분석, 다중회귀분석 등의 통계분석과 인공신경망에 의해 학습된 알고리즘을 통하여 산정된 무수율을 실측 무수율과 비교, 분석하였다. 인공신경망에 의해 산정된 무수율과 실측 무수율의 정확도를 평가하기 위하여 MAE, MSE, PBIAS 등의 정확도 평가와 산점도 분석을 수행하고, 상관계수를 도출하여 가장 정확한 방법을 결정하였다. 분석 결과 통계분석에 의한 다중회귀식으로 산출된 무수율 보다 인공신경망에 의한 무수율이 실측값에 더욱 근접한 것으로 나타났으며 이용된 뉴런의 수의 따라 산출결과가 상이하기 때문에 최적 뉴런의 수를 산정해야 할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 사용된 상수관망 주요인자 중 주성분분석을 통하여 선정된 각 성분을 인공신경망에 적용시 더욱 정확한 무수율 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the path of money laundering of criminal proceeds through cryptocurrency using criminal script analysis and to devise measures to prevent and prevent criminal justice agencies from doing so. Method: Based on the results of a prior study on the profit path of cryptocurrency through money laundering and criminal cases in Korea, the path of money laundering was analyzed using criminal script techniques. Result: Most of the cryptocurrencies that have been launched are converted into criminal proceeds, which are re-launched and cashed or have a vicious cycle of being used as criminal funds are used. According to the script, the route of money laundering is mainly converted to criminal proceeds from cryptocurrency exchanges using anonymity, which is repeated several times, making it very difficult to find the money using cryptocurrency in criminal justice institutions. Conclusion: As the method of money laundering using cryptocurrency is becoming more sophisticated, legal sanctions and preventive institutionalization should be prepared for the prohibition or confiscation of cryptocurrency transactions for money laundering after understanding the flow.
