Generally, estimations on the displacement as an important factor in evaluating the safety of large structures could be a barometer assessing whether the condition of the structure is deteriorating. Practically, it is not easy how to measure the displacement response to large structures like suspension bridges. In this study, as a method for estimation displacement response from strain signals, mode decomposition technique is proposed. Total displacement response is estimated by superposing quasistatic displacement response and modal displacement responses in dominant modes with larger contributions after estimating the modal displacement responses. If foiled strain gauges are used to measure strain signals, there would likely to generate electric noise, what's more, the more measuring points there are the more economic burden it could be. In order to solve such problems, fiber optic bragg-grating(FBG) sensors were used, which have multi-point measurements with no effect on electric noises. Therefore, the experiment was performed through dynamic load test of suspension bridge and plate-girder bridge to review the possibility for using mode decomposition technique.

Phenology determines the timing of crop development, and the timing of phenological events is strongly influenced by the temperature during the growing season. In process-based model, leaf area is simulated dynamically by coupling of morphology and phenology module. Therefore, the prediction of leaf appearance rate and final leaf number affects the performance of whole crop model. The dataset for the model equation was collected from SPA R chambers with five different temperature treatments. Beta distribution function (proposed by Yan and Hunt (1999)) was used for describing the leaf appearance rate as a function of temperature. The optimum temperature and the critical value were estimated to be 26.0℃ and 35.3℃, respectively. For evaluation of the model, the accumulated number of onion leaves observed in a temperature gradient chamber was compared with model estimates. The model estimate is the result of accumulating the daily increase in the number of onion leaves obtained by inputting the daily mean temperature during the growing season into the temperature model. In this study, the coefficient of determination (R²) and RMSE value of the model were 0.95 and 0.89, respectively.

Loblolly(Pinus taeda L.) and slash(Pinus elliottii Engelm.) pines are the most important timber producing species in the Southern United States. Site index equations to estimate site index curves(base age 25 years) for loblolly pine and slash pine plantations have been developed based on long-term repeated measurement data sets. To check magnitude of errors in estimating site index, each cumulative measurement cycle data sets and all combined data sets were used to recalculate site index values. The Chapman-Richards' growth function was selected for stand height prediction. Anamorphic base age invariant site index curves were presented based on this height prediction equation. Statistics used in the evaluation were mean of the differences and mean of the absolute differences. For plantation ages less than 5 years, site index values showed very sensitive fur both species based on the evaluation test.

The synchronization signal in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems contains the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the overall synchronization performance is dominated by PSS detection. In this paper, we propose a PSS detection scheme employing three partial correlation based PSS detectors with different partial correlation lengths, in which calculated partial correlation values are reused in order to reduce computational complexity. A coherent selection scheme using tentative frequency offsets is also proposed to select one reliable result from outputs of partial correlation based PSS detectors. It is shown through computer simulation that the proposed scheme can have a robust detection performance in wide range of frequency offsets.

In this paper we study the qualify of sequential coverage analysis under a scenario of distributed stochastic simulation known as MRIP(Multiple Replications In Parallel) in terms of the confidence intervals of coverage and the speedup. The estimator based in the F-distribution was applied to the sequential coverage analysis of steady-state means. in simulations of the $M/M/1/{\infty},\;M/D/I/{\infty}\;and\;M/H_{2}/1/{\infty}$ queueing systems on a single processor and multiple processors. By using multiple processors under the MRIP scenario, the time for collecting many replications needed in sequential coverage analysis is reduced. One can also easily collect more replications by executing it in distributed computers or clusters linked by a local area network.

In this paper, we present an effective visual odometry estimation system to track the real-time pose of a camera moving in 3D space. In order to meet the real-time requirement as well as to make full use of rich information from color and depth images, our system adopts a feature-based sparse odometry estimation method. After matching features extracted from across image frames, it repeats both the additional inlier set refinement and the motion refinement to get more accurate estimate of camera odometry. Moreover, even when the remaining inlier set is not sufficient, our system computes the final odometry estimate in proportion to the size of the inlier set, which improves the tracking success rate greatly. Through experiments with TUM benchmark datasets and implementation of the 3D scene reconstruction application, we confirmed the high performance of the proposed visual odometry estimation method.

최근까지 용수확보와 홍수예방, 하천환경관리 등의 목적으로 많은 댐이 건설되어 왔으며 이러한 댐 건설은 주변지역의 자연 및 사회 환경의 변화를 유발하게 된다. 이는 구체적으로 유출특성의 변화로 나타나며 유출특성의 변화는 수자원의 계획과 관리 측면에 상당한 영향을 끼친다. 따라서 정확한 장기유출량의 예측은 이수 측면에서 대단히 중요하며 이에 대한 신뢰성 있는 해석이 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 댐 건설에 따른 유역의 장기유출특성변화를 분석하였다. 충주댐 상류유역을 대상으로 분석기간을 댐 건설 전(1975~1985년)과 댐 건설 후(1986~1995년, 1996~2005년)로 나누어 적용하였고, 해당 관측소에서 제공하는 수문 기상자료와 지형자료를 이용하여 입력자료를 구축하였다. SWAT 입력 모형의 최적값을 결정하기 위해 유출총량 및 첨두유량 감쇄곡선 형태에 영향을 미치는 유출관련 매개변수를 선정하여 보정하였고, 유역 최종 출구점인 충주댐 지점에서의 일 유출자료에 대해 관측치와 모의치를 비교하였다. 그 결과 상관계수는 0.89와 0.71, 모형효율은 0.87과 0.76으로 매우 양호한 결과를 보였으며 이는 SWAT 모형이 장기 유출 모의에 있어 안정적 결과를 제공함을 판단할 수 있었다. 보정된 결과를 바탕으로 장기유출모의결과 계산평균유량과 계산첨두유량 모두 관측결과와 상대오차 10%이하의 만족스러운 결과를 보였으며 댐 건설 전 후의 유출특성 비교결과 전반적으로 댐 건설 이후 유출률이 증가하는 특성이 나타났다. 댐 건설 후 나타나는 유출률 변화를 규명하고자 수문성분별 모의를 실시하였으며 그 결과 지표유출이 4% 증가 하였고 증발산량이 3% 감소하였다. 이는 대상유역의 도시화에 의한 불투수면적의 증가와 산림면적 감소 때문으로 추정되며, 이로 인하여 댐 건설 후 유출률이 소폭 증가하였음이 판단된다. 이상의 결과들로부터 SWAT 모형은 장기 일 유출량 추정 및 유역 전반의 통합관리 측면에서 적용성과 활용성이 우수하다고 판단되며 댐 건설로 인한 자연환경의 변화는 유역의 유출특성의 변화에 영향을 준다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 확장하여 댐 건설 이외에 다양한 요소들을 모형에 적용하고 유역개발에 따른 수문환경의 전반적인 변화에 대한 유출평가가 필요하다고 판단된다.

Forecasting the daily volume of container is important in many aspects of port operation. In this article, we utilized a machine-learning algorithm based on decision tree to predict future container throughput of Busan port. Accurate volume forecasting improves operational efficiency and service levels by reducing costs and shipowner latency. We showed that our method is capable of accurately and reliably predicting container throughput in short-term(days). Forecasting accuracy was improved by more than 22% over time series methods(ARIMA). We also demonstrated that the current method is assumption-free and not prone to human bias. We expect that such method could be useful in a broad range of fields.

Three theoretical growth equations, i.e., the Mitscherlich, the Gompertz, and the Logistic equation, were applied to the radical stem growth of 50 jack pines (Pinus banksiana Lamb.). For the determination of the parameters in these equations, NELDER-MEAD's method was used, which is one of the direct-search methods of optimization. It has been known to be very convenient in dealing with the issues related to optimization, specifically where the number of parameters are less than 6. It was found that although all the equations did not appropriately work as expected, the Mitscherlich equation revealed the least discrapancy from the obsered value among three. Using these equations and the first certain period data, i. e., 35, 55, 75 years, the predection of radius of age 95 was investigated. Comparing to the observed value, the most valid equation was the Mitscherlich, and the next were the Gompertz and the Logistic, in order.

Farm, appraisal year-month, appraisal person should affect linear type and scoring traits. Most of type traits and scoring traits would be significantly affected by parity and lactation stage after absorbing farm-appraisal year-month-person effects. Otherwise, some traits such as traits related to udder would be affected by registration criteria. However, interval of appraisal time and milking time would not affect these traits. The scores related to udder, teat placement and foot angle would be positively related to parity. Final score would be optimized at cows of 2nd and 3rd parities. Dairy form, front teat placement, rear udder height, rear udder width and final score would show similar to pattern of lactation curve at lactation stage. Dairy capacity composite index would also show similar to lactation curve. This result would be indicated that more concise standardizing system for linear type scoring rules would be needed. Furthermore, correcting system for parity and lactation stage would be needed because this factor should affect physiological status, specially, udder status.
