This paper proposes a baseline-free SHM technique in which the time-reversal process of Lamb waves and the imaging method are used. The proposed SHM technique has three distinct features when compared with the authors' previously proposed one: (1) It use the reconstructed signal for damage diagnosis, without need to extract the damage signal as the difference between reconstructed signal and initial input signal; (2) It use the imaging method based on the time-offlight information from the reconstructed signal, instead of using a pattern comparison method; (3) In order to make the damage image more clear, the modified mathematical definition of damage image in a pixel is used. The proposed SHM technique is evaluated through the damage detection experiment for an aluminum plate with damage at different locations.

In video coding, motion estimation is a process to estimate the pixel of the current frame from the reference frame, which affects directly the predictive quality and the encoding time. This paper is related to AHHS(Adaptive Hierarchical Hexagon Search) using spatio-temporal motion activity for fast motion estimation. The proposed method defines the spatio-temporal motion activity of the current macroblock using the motion vectors of its spatio-temporally adjacent macroblocks, and then conventional AHS(Adaptive Hexagon Search) is performed if the spatio-temporal motion activity is lower, otherwise, hierarchical hexagon search is performed on a multi-layered hierarchical space constructed by multiple sub-images with low frequency in wavelet transform. In the paper, based on computer simulation results for multiple video sequences with different motion characteristics, the performance of the proposed method was analysed and assessed in terms of the predictive quality and the computational time. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is both suitable for (quasi-) stationary and large motion searches. The proposed method could keep the merit of the adaptive hexagon search capable of fast estimating motion vectors and also adaptively reduce the local minima occurred in the video sequences with higher spatio-temporal motion activity.

Investigation methods of cut slope are conducted generally only geological surface survey to gain engineering geological data of cut slopes. These methods have many problems such as limitation of investigation for a special area. So geophysical investigations such as geotomography, seismic and electrical resistivity methods have been used to search for failure surface in potential failure slopes or failed slopes. But investigation method using the borehole camera is recently a used method and it is thought that this method is more reliable method than other investigation methods because of being able to see by the eyes. Therefore, this paper was conducted investigations of 4 boleholes and BIPS (Borehole Image Processing System) to search for potential sliding surfaces and was applied to obtain information of discontinuity on failed highway slope. As the results of BIPS, we could decide potential sliding surface in the slope and conducted to check slope stability. And decided slope stability measures.

In general, we use a Parallel processing computer manufactured specially for the purpose of parallel processing to do high performance computings. But we can depoly and use a PC cluster composed of several common PCs instead of the very expensive parallel processing computer. A common way to get a PC cluster is to adopt the star topology network connected by a switch hub. But in this paper, we grope efficient implementations of hypercube networks based on TCP/IP to connect 8 PCs directly for more useful parallel processing environment, and make evaluations on functionality and efficiency of them using ping, netperf, MPICH. The two proposed methods of implementation are IP configuration based on link and IP configuration based on node. The results of comparison between them show that there is not obvious difference in performance but the latter is more efficient in simplicity of routing table. For verification of functionality, we compare the parallel processing results of an application in them with the same in a star network based PC cluster. These results also show that the proposed hypercube networks support a perfect parallel processing environment respectively.

The changes of the content of organic acids, carbon dioxide, alcohols and carbonyl compounds of the various Kimchis which were made of cabbage with green onion, garlic, ginger or red pepper and fermented at $12^{\circ}C-16^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Nonvolatile organic acids identified were lactic, succinic, fumaric and malic acid. Volatile organic acids identified were acetic, formic, propionic, butyric, valeric, n-caproic and n-heptanoic acid. Carbonyl compounds identified were acetaldehyde and acetone. The content of lactic acid was increased with fermentation, and higher in Kimchis containing red pepper, garlic and green onion. The content of acetic acid was increased with fermentation, especially in Kimchi containing garlic. The content of carbon dioxide was higher in Kimchi containing garlic. Alcohols identified in all Kimchis was only ethanol. Carbonyl compounds had no direct effect on off-flavor of Kimchi.

Real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS surveying which allows centimeter level accuracy of three-dimensional coordinates without post-processing has become recognized as a major advance in GPS technology. Employing On-The-Fly initialization technique, the RTK system can escape from cycle slip problems that have affected as a main obstacle factor in traditional kinematic and static approaches. The objective of this research was to evaluate accuracy and effectiveness of the RTK-GPS surveying. First, the continuous RTK observation of a base line was conducted for the purpose of finding out the repeatability of the RTK surveying and the results which were then compared against results from static surveying showed RMS errors of $\pm{3mm}\;and\;\pm{13mm}$ for their respective horizontal and vertical components. On a test network of 30 stations covering the small area, the results of RTK testing were compared against those from not only post-processing kinematic and rapid-static surveyings but conventional surveyings and also the efficiency of RTK were analyzed. In addition, geoid heights which were derived by combination of GPS and spirit leveling about all of the points within the network were compared against those derived by the PNU95 and EGM96 models respectively.

We investigated the optimum pump light power compensating distorted WDM signal due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation (SPM). The considered system is $3{\times}40$ Gbps intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD) WDM transmission system with path-averaged intensity approximation (PAIA) mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) as compensation method. This system have highly nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber (HNL-DSF) as nonlinear medium of optical phase conjugator (OPC) in the mid-way of total transmission line. We confirmed that HNL-DSF is an useful nonlinear medium in OPC for wideband WDM transmission, and the excellent compensation is obtained when the pump light power of HNL-DSF OPC was selected to equalize the conjugated light power into the second half fiber section with the input WDM signal light power depending on total transmission length. By this approach, it is verified the possibility to realize a long-haul high capacities WDM system by using PAIA MSSI compensation method, which have HNL-DSF OPC with optimal pump light power depending on transmission length.

In this paper, the Hybrid SC/MRC-2/4 method in which bit synchronization and phase synchronization were not required was applied to the orthogonal MC DS-CDMA system in which each normalized subcarrier interval and processing gain had the same value, respectively, and the direct sequence spread code of each subcarrier was orthogonal. In the broadband wireless system in which multi-carrier transmission was used, a Doppler frequency shift occurred, which was caused by the difference between the highest subcarrier frequency md the lowest subcarrier frequency. In order to complement phase error caused by the shift, the orthogonal MC DS-CDMA system was analyzed so that the receiving signal could be perfectly synchronized by adjusting the PLL gain suitable for the entire system. As a result of simulations, as the PLL gain was increased, the change in the intervals was close to the case of perfect synchronization however, it became less when the PLL gain reached more than a certain value. Therefore, by selecting a proper PLL gain suitable for the system the orthogonal MC DS-CDMA can be designed in which the Hybrid SC/MRC method is applied.

Visual Cortex Stimulator is among artificial retina prosthesis for blind man, is the method that stimulate the brain cell directly without processing the information from retina to visual cortex. In this paper, we propose image construction and recognition model that is similar to human visual processing by recognizing the feature data with orientation information, that is, the characteristics of visual cortex. Back propagation algorithm based on Delta-bar delta is used to recognize after extracting image feature by Kirsh edge detector. Various numerical patterns are used to analyze the performance of proposed method. In experiment, the proposed recognition model to extract image characteristics with the orientation of information from retinal cells to visual cortex makes a little difference in a recognition rate but shows that it is not sensitive in a variety of learning rates similar to human vision system.

최근 기후변화로 인하여 자연재해 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있으며 우리나라의 경우, 자연재해 중에서도 태풍, 호우 등 풍수해의 발생 비율이 높게 나타난다. 최근 곤파스(2010), 무이파(2011), 볼라벤(2012) 등 태풍의 영향으로 많은 인명피해와 1조원 이상의 직접손실이 발생하였다. 이로 인하여 자연재해 예측 및 피해저감을 위한 국가적 차원의 체계적인 방재정책을 수립하고자, 안전관리 기본계획 및 풍수해저감종합계획 등 풍수해 관리를 위한 관련 정책들을 정비하고 있다. 그러나 현행 법률구조상 효율적인 재난관리정책을 뒷받침할 법적 근거가 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 체계적인 풍수해 관리를 위하여 재난관리단계를 예방, 대비, 대응, 복구로 구분하고 관리 현황 분석을 진행하여 풍수해관리 중장기 전략을 제시하였다. 연구방법으로는 풍수해 관련 법령 및 법 제도 체계를 검토하였고, 루사(2002)와 볼라벤의 피해사례 분석을 통해 풍수해 관리 문제점을 파악하였다. 현행 방재정책은 사후복구위주의 중앙정부 중심 체계이며, 피해규모가 대형화되고 복합재난이 발생하는 등 새로운 재해상황을 반영하지 못하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 풍수해 관리에 있어 (1)관련법 규정의 미흡, (2)재해정보의 부족 및 정보관리의 미흡, (3)대응체계의 복잡성, (4)방재산업에 대한 전략적 과학적 투자 미흡 등을 문제점으로 도출하였다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선한 풍수해관리 중장기 전략은 첫째, 법 제도 개선을 통한 풍수해 관리수준 고도화, 둘째, 재해연보 개선을 통한 풍수해정보관리 고도화, 셋째, 풍수해 피해예측시스템을 활용한 계획적이고 체계적인 재난대응체계 구축, 넷째, 풍수해 저감 핵심기술 확보와 국내 방재산업 활성화 체계 구축으로 제시하였다.
