As greater numbers of fill dams and reservoirs become old, the risks of damage or embankment collapse increases. However, few studies have considered the deterioration and hazard classification of the internal core layers of fill dams. This study reports the results of geotechnical investigations of 13 earth-cored fill dams in Korea, based on no-water borehole drilling, Standard Penetration Test, and 2D and 3D electrical resistivity surveys along with in situ and laboratory testing. High-capacity no-water boring minimized core layer disturbance while providing continuous core sample recovery. The results allow the classification of potential hazards related to the existing core layers based on both visual inspection of the recovered samples and the results of engineering surveys and tests. Four types of potential hazard are classified: locally fluidized core with a high water content, rapid water inflow to a borehole, cores with granular materials, and relatively low stiffness of core. Among these, the locally fluidized core is the most critical hazard that requires remedial action because it is related to the potential internal flow path and internal erosion. The other three hazard types are of medium importance and require careful monitoring and regular inspection. Of note, there was no correlation between age and core deterioration. The results are expected to aid the safe management and potential upgrading of aging cored fill dams.

In this study, the effects of suspension training according to the types of ground. Fourteen healthy male college students measured for the characteristics of core muscle activity in suspension training on two different types of grounds, normal flat and unstable ground using a gym ball. EMG (Electromyography) was exploited to measure the activity of the core muscles according to the types of the ground. Muscle activity of the abdominal muscles, external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles, and lower lumbar standing muscles was measured. The variables in analyses were measured by the means of % MVC method to standardize the EMG signal according to the ground type for each core muscle. In order to verify the differences in core muscles according to the type of ground the paired t-tests were performed at the significance level of 0.05 (p<.05). As a result of measuring the activity of the core muscles according to the various types of grounds, the difference between muscle characteristics obtained in two different grounds did not appear to be statistically significant. However, the result is an important clue to reconsider the notion that the training effect on the unstable ground is generally superior to the effect on the stable ground in the core muscle training. The type of ground in the core muscle training has been found not to significantly affect the muscle activation according to the results of this study. Regardless of the type of exercise program, hence, the difference in muscle activation will not be insignificant even with the standardized program strengthening core muscles.

After the earthquake in South Korea (Gyeongju and Pohang), interest in securing the seismic performance of piloti buildings was increasing. In this paper, a study was conducted to propose a seismic retrofit method for piloti building of LH. The proposed seismic retrofit method considers the priority of seismic retrofit and the type of core. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed seismic retrofit method, computational analysis was performed according to the type of core. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic performance was improved when the proposed seismic retrofit method was used.

Recently, the importance of embedded system is growing rapidly. In-order to satisfy the real-time constraints of the system, high performance embedded processor is required. Therefore, as in general purpose computer systems, embedded processor should be designed as multicore architecture as well. Using MiBench benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed and analyzed for the 2-core to 16-core embedded processor architectures with different types of cores from simple RISC to in-order and out-of-order superscalar processors, extensively. As a result, the achievable performance is as high as 23 times over the single core embedded RISC processor.

Security issues such as an illegal acquisition of personal information and identity theft happen due to using game bots in online games. Game bots collect items and money unfairly, so in-game contents are rapidly depleted, and honest users feel deprived. It causes a downturn in the game market. In this paper, we defined the growth types by analyzing the growth processes of users with actual game data. We proposed the framework that classify hard-core users and game bots in the growth patterns. We applied the framework in the actual data. As a result, we classified five growth types and detected game bots from hard-core users with 93% precision. Earlier studies show that hard-core users are also detected as a bot. We clearly separated game bots and hard-core users before full growth.

Due to the demand for high speed 3D graphic rendering, video file format conversion, compression, encryption and decryption technologies, the importance of digital signal processor system is growing rapidly. In order to satisfy the real-time constraints, high performance digital signal processor is required. Therefore, as in general purpose computer systems, digital signal processor should be designed as multicore architecture as well. Using UTDSP benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed and analyzed for the 2 to 16-core digital signal processor architectures with the cores from simple RISC to in-order and out-of-order superscalar processors for the various window sizes, extensively.

In this paper, we proposed an asymmetric multi-core processor scheduling scheme which is based on the mileage of each core. We considered a big-LITTLE multi-core processor structure, which consists of low power consuming LITTLE cores with general performance and high power consuming big cores with high performance. If a task needs to be processed, the processor decides a core type (big or LITTLE) to handle the task, and then investigate the core with the shortest mileage among unoccupied cores. Then assigns the task to the core. We developed a mileage-based balancing algorithm for asymmetric multi-core assignment and showed that the proposed scheduling scheme is more cost-effective compared to the traditional scheme from a management perspective. Simulation is also conducted for the purpose of performance evaluation of our proposed algorithm.

The characteristics of the foundry sand were analyzed for water jacket core required to prevent structural deformation from the heat generated in the cylinder bore during the casting of the cylinder block of an automobile. The sand core tensile strength tester, AFS-GFN, and optical microscope were used to evaluate the its properties. If the SiO2 content is high in the foundry sand, the dimensional defects and veining defects occur due to high temperature expansion. Also, if it is too low, the core breakage, porosities, chemical burn-on defects occur. The particle size index and grain shape influenced the core strength and resin consumption, resulting in fluctuations in defect types. The higher the alkalinity of the dried sand, the lower the core strength. And the more basic, the lower the core strength. At the resin content of 1.6~1.8%, the increase in core strength after 1 hour curing was approximately at its maximum.

Processors require both intensive and extensive functional verification in their design phase due to their general purpose. The proposed random vector verification method for embedded control RISC cores meets this goal by contributing assistance for conventional methods. The proposed method proved its effectiveness during the design of CalmRISCTM-32 developed by Yonsei Univ. and Samsung. It adopts a cycle-accurate instruction level simulator as a reference model, runs simulation in both the reference and the target HDL and reports errors if any difference is found between them. Consequently, it successfully covers errors designers easily pass over and establishes other new error check points.
