In the inverse perturbation method, enormous computational resource was required to obtain reliable results, because all unspecified DOFs were considered as unknown variables. Thus, in the present study, a reduced system method is used to condense the unspecified DOFs by using the specified DOFs, and to improve the computational efficiency as well as the solution accuracy. In most of the conventional reduction methods, transformation errors occur in the transformation matrix between the unspecified DOFs and the specified DOFs. Thus it is hard to obtain reliable and accurate solution of inverse perturbation problems by reduction methods due to the error in the transformation matrix. This numerical trouble is resolved in the present study by adopting iterative improved reduced system(IIRS) as well as by updating the transformation matrix at every step. In this reduction method, system accuracy is related to the selection of the primary DOFs and Iteration time. And both are dependent to each other So, the two level condensation method (TLCS) is selected as Selection method of primary DOFs for increasing accuracy and reducing iteration time. Finally, numerical verification results of the present iterative inverse perturbation method (IIPM) are presented.

Although there are several experimental techniques to evaluate the seismic behavior and performance of civil structures, small-scale models in mast of physical tests, instead of prototypes or large-scale models, would be used due to a limitation on capacities of testing equipments. However, the inelastic seismic response prediction of small-scale models has some discrepancies inherently because the similitude law is generally derived in the elastic range. Thus, a special attention is required to regard the seismic behavior of small-scale models as one of prototypes. In this paper, differences between prototypes and small-scale models pseudodynamically tested on steel column specimens are investigated and an alternative to minimize them is suggested. In general, small-scale models could have the distorted stiffness induced from some experimental errors on test setup, steel fabrication and so on. Therefore, a modified similitude law considering both a scale factor for length and a stiffness ratio of small-scale model to prototype is proposed. Using the modified similitude law to compensate experimental errors, the pseudodynamic test results from modified small-scale model are much improved as compared with the results of prototype. According to the pseudodynamic test results of small-scale steel models, it can be concluded that the modified similitude law proposed could be effective in simulating the seismic response of prototype structures.

This paper has for its object to propose AFOD(Adaptive First-Order Decimator) which sets a value of decimated element as an average of a value of neighbor intelligible component and a output value of FOD(First-Order Decimator) for the target pixel, and to analyze its performance in terms of subjective image quality and hardware complexity. In the proposed AFOD, a target pixel located at the center of sliding window is selected first, then the gradient amplitudes of its right neighbor pixel and its lower neighbor pixel are calculated using first order derivative operator respectively. Secondly, each gradient amplitude is divided by the summation result of two gradient amplitudes to generate each local intelligible weight. Next, a value of neighbor intelligible component is defined by adding a value of the right neighbor pixel times its local intelligible weight to a value of the lower neighbor pixel times its intelligible weight. Since the proposed method adaptively reflects neighbor intelligible informations of neighbor pixels on the decimated element according to each local intelligible weight, it can effectively suppress the blurring effect being the demerit of FOD. It also possesses the advantages that it can keep the merits of FOD with the good results on average but also lower computational cost.

The numerical analysis of the reduction of reaction mechanism for the ignition of dimethyl ether (DME) was performed. On the basis of a detailed reaction mechanism involving 79 species and 351 reactions, the peak molar concentration and sensitivity analysis were conducted in a homogeneous reactor model. The reduced reaction mechanism involving 44 species and 166 reactions at the threshold value $7.5{\times}10^{-5}$ of the molar peak concentration was established by comparing the ignition delays the reduced mechanism with those the detailed mechanism. The predicted results of the reduced mechanism applied to the single-zone homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine model were in agreement with those of the detailed mechanism. Therefore, this reduced mechanism can be used to accurately simulate the ignition and combustion process of compression ignition engine using DME fuel.

According to an evolution of image and video compression technologies, most digital images are in the compressed form. Resizing of these compressed images have various applications such as transmission of resized image according to varying bandwidth, content adaptation for display purpose and etc. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is the most popular transformation for image compression. Recently, several researches have been performed to obtain the reconstructed image of original size in the DCT domain after downsampling and upsampling in the DCT domain. Main focus of these researches is to improve quality of the reconstructed image after downsampling and upsampling in the DCT domain In this paper, we present an modified IDCT method to downsize DCT-encoded image. Furthermore, we propose an efficient scheme for image downsampling and upsampling in the DCT domain With these modified IDCT method. The proposed scheme Provides higher PSNR values than the existing schemes In terms of the reconstructed image after halving and doubling in the DCT domain.

This study presents the optimal grouping technique of columns which groups together columns of similar shortening trends to improve the efficiency of column shortening compensation. Here, Kohonen's self-organizing feature map which can classify patterns of input data by itself with unsupervised learning was used as the optimal grouping algorithm. The Kohonen network applied in this study is composed of two input neurons and variable output neurons, here the number of output neuron is equal to the column groups to be classified. In input neurons the normalized mean and standard deviation of shortening of each columns are inputted and in the output neurons the classified column groups are presented. The applicability of the proposed algorithm was evaluated by applying it to the two buildings where column shortening analyses had already been performed. The proposed algorithm was able to classify columns with similar shortening trends as one group, and from this we were able to ascertain the field-applicability of the proposed algorithm as the optimal grouping of column shortening.

낙동강하구둑 접근수로에는 상류로부터 유입되는 유사가 유속감소로 인해 하구둑 근처에서 퇴적되는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 퇴적되는 유사를 저감시키기 위한 방법으로 하구둑 건설이후 매년 일정한 통수능 확보를 위해 준설이 수행되어 왔다. 그러나 준설 방법은 많은 비용과 시간이 소모된다는 점에서 효율적이지 못하며, 이를 대체 할 수 있는 적절한 퇴사저감방안 연구가 지금까지 선행연구들을 통해 제안되고 있는 실정이다. 특히 하폭이 급격히 확대되어 유속 감소를 유발하고 유사 퇴적을 야기 시키는 하구둑 상류 2km에서 3km 지점의 하폭을 국부적으로 축소함으로써 효과적으로 퇴사를 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 하폭축소로 인하여 홍수발생시 상류의 홍수위가 기존 조건에서 보다 상승할 수 있는 위험성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하폭축소 방법으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 상류의 홍수위 상승 위험성을 1차원 수치모형인 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 하폭축소 전 후의 수면곡선을 분석하고자 한다. 연구대상 영역은 낙동강하구둑 상류 12km 구포대교 지점까지이며 하폭축소 구간은 낙동강하구둑 상류 2km에서 3km로 하도 우안 구간의 하폭을 10% 축소하였다. 입력 자료는 낙동강유역 종합치수계획에 명시된 빈도별 유량 및 낙동강하구둑 수위 조건을 적용하였다. 모의결과 30년, 50년, 80년, 200년 빈도별 유량과 수위를 적용한 경우 최대 수위상승이 0.02m이하인 것으로 나타났으며, 500년 빈도의 경우 0.03m의 최대 수위상승 값을 확인할 수 있었다.

It is essential to control the lateral displacement and differential axial shortening of the vertical elements in high-rise buildings. The differential axial shortening can cause challenges in the serviceability and safety of non-structural and structural elements, respectively. Hence, in this study, the differential axial shortening of the vertical elements and effects of long term behaviors of concrete are analyzed in 120-story high-rise buildings via the construction sequence analysis. Consequently, the axial shortening of the vertical elements is classified into elastic, creep, and shrinkage shortening, and dominant factors to the maximum axial shortening are analyzed. In addition, the serviceability of the non -structural elements is checked with a differential axial shortening at 30 years after completion of construction, and member forces at design and construction stages in girders and outrigger walls are compared.

This study is based upon the survey for the GALT(Group Assessment of Logical Thinking) full version and short version used in the science education researches for investigating the cognitive levels of students in secondary schools. The main discussions include the annual trends of two GALT versions appeared in the research papers, the distributions of the students' cognitive levels obtained by two GALT versions, the purposes of the GALT used in the researches, and the results of two GALT versions applied to the same group of high school students. The summarized results are as follows. The frequency of the GALT short version used in the research papers has been increased recently relative to that of the full version. For the same grade students, the fraction of students in the formal operational cognitive level obtained from the GALT short version was always bigger than those obtained from the full version. The purposes of the GALT employed in the researches are classified into two groups. One group includes the papers in which the subjects were subgrouped into three cognitive levels from GALT results and it was used as an independent variable to analyze the dependent variable. In this case, the analyzed results might be altered depending on the version of GALT used. The other one includes the papers in which the GALT results were used as a covariable or the GALT scores were used directly without subgrouping the subjects by cognitive levels. For this group, the research results would not depend on the GALT version. When both of the GALT versions were tested on the same group of students with two months interval, the fraction of formal operational level obtained from the short version was bigger than that obtained from the full version.
