This paper describes the scale effect of hybrid rocket motor which has blow-down oxidizer supply system. ResuIts show that the scale effect on regression rate is negligible using presently accessible scaling relation for $LN_2O$/PE propellant combination amid the absence of exactly proven scaling relation. It was also found that the characteristic velocity efficiency increases as motor scale increases. However, the characteristic velocity efficiency includes complicated parameters such as post-chamber configuration or geometry which can affect the entire flow field. It is therefore hard to conclude that the increase of efficiency is solely due to the enlargement of motor scale nor draw any conclusion on the scale effect which require a profound understanding of hybrid rocket scaling rules.

An experimental investigation has been conducted to clarify roughness effects of geothermal water scale deposited onto a heating surface upon its forced convection heat transfer characteristics. Examined was a circular cylinder, on which particles of silica scale having five different sizes are uniformly distributed. The Reynolds number was varied from 13000 through 50000. Local and mean heat transfer characteristics were measured as functions of particle size and Reynolds number. Subsequently the mean fouling resistance was estimated from those results, and its characteristics are clarified. It was found that the heat transfer of cylinders greatly varies with the fouling of geothermal water scale, especially its scale height. Further, the local and average Nusselt numbers strongly depend upon the cylinder spacing and the Reynolds number.

In this paper, the shadow detection and reconstruction method are proposed using intrinsic image, which does not change the essential characteristics under the influence of various illuminance, and multi-scale gamma correction. The shadow detection was estimated by the pixel change information between a grayscale and an intrinsic image of the color image, and the brightness of the image were adjusted by gamma correction in the shadow restoration process. Multi-scale gamma correction is performed for each channel of a color image due to the fact that the saturation can be changed by nonlinear adjustment to individual pixel values. Multi-scale gamma values are estimated based on the information of the crossed edge between shadows and non-shadowed regions in the color image, as a result, the shadows are reconstructed by correcting different region features with multi-scale gamma values. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively reconstructs shadows in a single natural image.

기존 스케일러빌러티(scalability) 동영상 부호화 알고리듬 의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 다중 레퍼런스 프레임 방법을 기저 계층(base layer)과 확장 계층(enhancement layer)의 움직임 보상시 사용하여, 부호화 효율 및 드리프트 현상을 현저히 감소시키는 효과를 가져온다. 전산 모의 실험을 통하여 제안 알고리듬은 기존의 H.263+ 알고리듬에 비해 스케일러빌러티 모드를 작동하였을 때와 작동하지 않았을 경우 모두에 대해 더 나은 부호화 효율을 보여 주고, 이전 레퍼런스 확장 계층이 네트웍 사정으로 전송되지 않았을 경우에도 제안하는 알고리듬은 거의 화질의 손실이 없이 복원할 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 다중 스케일로 구성된 뉴럴 네트워크를 이용하여 영상 내 모아레 무늬을 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 영상 피라미드를 생성하여 모아레 무늬를 구성하는 다양한 주파수 범위의 정보를 제거한다. 각 branch는 Multi-scale Feature Block (MFB)과 Tone-Mapping Block (TMB)으로 구성하여 효과적으로 모아레 현상을 제거하고 저하된 색상 저하를 복원한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존 기법에 비해서 높은 모아레 제거 성능을 보이는 것을 확인한다.

본 연구에서는 나노입자와 고분자 기지 간에 공유결합을 형성시킨 나노복합재의 계면특성과 탄성계수에서 나타나는 크기효과를 고려하기 위해 분자동역학과 미시역학모델을 순차적으로 연계하는 멀티스케일 해석모델을 제안하였다. 나노입자의 체적분율이 동일한 5개의 나노복합재 셀에 대해, 입자의 표면 원자와 고분자 기지 간에 탄소로 구성된 공유결합을 생성시킨 후 분자동 역학 전산모사를 통해 탄성계수를 예측하였고, 공유결합이 존재하지 않는 나노복합재의 탄성계수와 이를 비교하여 계면의 물성증가와 탄성계수에서 나타나는 입자의 크기효과를 규명하였다. 향상된 계면의 특성을 연속체 해석 모델에서 고려하기 위해 분자동역학 해석결과와 미시역학 모델을 연계하는 순차적 브리징 기법을 적용하였고, 이로부터 계산된 계면의 물성의 타당성을 유한요소 해석을 통해 검증하였다. 그 결과 입자와 기지 간 공유결합을 통해 나노복합재가 보다 넓은 범위에 걸친 크기효과를 나타냈으며, 제안된 브리징 모델을 통해서 물리적으로 타당한 계면의 탄성계수 값을 계산할 수 있었다.

The assessed land values and housing prices have been widely utilized as a basic information for the land and house trades and for evaluating governmental and local taxes. However, there exists a price difference in actual markets between the assessment level and assessed land values or housing prices. This paper emphasizes the spatial mismatch between the assessed land values and housing market prices and particularly addresses the following two aspects by focusing on spatial effects of the modifiable areal units, which would substantially affect the estimation of the assessed land values and housing prices. First, we examine the spatial distributions of the assessed land values and housing market prices, and the gap between those prices, on the basis of the aggregated spatial units(i.e., aggregation districts). Second, we explore the scale effect of the MAUP(modifiable areal unit problem) generally embedded in estimating the prices of the sampled standard lands and houses, and calibrating the correction index for the land values and housing prices for the individuals. For the application, we analysed the land values and housing prices in Seoul utilizing GIS and statistical software. As a result, some spatial clusters that the housing market prices are significantly higher than the assessed land values were identified at a finer geographic level. Also, it was empirically revealed that the statistical results from the regression of regional variables on the assessed land values for the individuals are significantly affected by the aggregation levels of the spatial units.

Best management practices (BMPs) are widely accepted and implemented as a mitigation method for soil erosion and non-point source problems. Estimating the amount of soil erosion and the effectiveness of BMPs using hydrological models help to understand the condition, identify the problems, and make plans for conservation practices in an area, typically a watershed. However, the accuracy and reliability of assessment of BMP impacts estimated by hydrological models can be often questionable due to the uncertainties from various sources including GIS(Geographic Information System) data, scale, and model. This study reviewed the development and the background of hydrological models, and the modeling issues such as the selection of models, scale, and uncertainties of data and models. This study also discussed the advantage of a small scale and spatially distributed model to estimate the impacts of BMPs.

This study attempted to test the scale effect of MAUP, particularly focusing on the spatial autocorrelation of sex crime, correlations among neighborhood structural variables, and causal mechanism leading to sex crime. Analysis results of nation-wide Eup-Myon-Dong and Si-Gun-Gu data discovered that the spatial autocorrelation, correlations among independent variables, and determinant coefficient of multiple regression of Si-Gun-Gu level were generally bigger and stronger than those of Eup-Myon-Dong, which appeared to be due to the averaging effect. Regarding the causal effect to sex crime, two interesting results were found: First, the ratio of non-apartment residency lowered sex crime at both levels contrary to the hypothesis. Second, the ratio of food and lodging increased sex crime only at Eup-Myon-Dong level. These suggested that future research need to perform more detailed analyses dividing data into subsets such as urban vs. rural and/or economically advantaged vs. disadvantaged areas.
