XML data generally consists of a hierarchical tree-structure which is reflected in mechanisms to store and retrieve XML data. Therefore, when storing XML data in the database, the hierarchical relationships among the XML elements are taken into consideration during the restructuring and storing of the XML data. Also, in order to support the search queries from the user, a mechanism is needed to compute the hierarchical relationship between the element structures specified by the query. The structural join operation is one solution to this problem, and is an efficient computation method for hierarchical relationships in an in database based on the node numbering scheme. However, in order to process a tree structured XML query which contains a complex nested hierarchical relationship it still needs to carry out multiple structural joins and results in another problem of having a high query execution cost. Therefore, in this paper we provide a preprocessing mechanism for effectively reducing the cost of multiple nested structural joins by applying the concept of equivalence classes and suggest a query path reduction algorithm to shorten the path query which consists of a regular expression. The mechanism is especially devised to reduce path queries containing branch nodes. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the time requited for processing the path queries to 1/3 of the original execution time.

This paper drives the exact expression of bit error rate(BER) performance for successive interference cancellation(SIC) algorithm against multipath interference components in a high-speed downlink packet access(HSDPA) system of W-CDMA downlink and the BER performance is evaluated by numerical analysis. Numerical results showed that the average BER performance is rapidly saturated in terms of increasing the number of multipath and is revealed significant improvement for improvement Processing gain(PG). For example, the average BER Performance of the SIC algorithm is superior to the performance of conventional scheme by more than 7dB and 1.4dB for processing gain PG=54 and 128 under the two-path channel and average BER=$1.0{\times}10^{-3}$, respectively. This results also indicated that the average BER saturation is occurred at nearly one weight factor which is assigned to pilot and data channels. Likewise, the average BER performance is greatly degraded due to increasing the interference power in proportional to the number of multipath with increasing multicode K. And the smaller multipath fading channel gain is arrived later, the more the average BER performance is improved. The results of performance analysis in this paper indicated that the multipath interference cancellation is required to improve the BER performance in a HSDPA system under multicode for high-speed packet transmission, low spreading factor, and multipath fading channel.

The human thermal environment in an apartment complex located in Seoul was quantitatively analyzed to devise methods to modify human heat-related stresses in landscape and urban planning. Microclimatic data (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and short- and long-wave radiation) were collected at 6 locations [Apt-center, roof (cement), roof (grass), ground, playground, and a tree-lined road] in the late spring and summer, and the data were used to estimate the human thermal sensation, physiological equivalent temperature (PET) and universal thermal climate index (UTCI). As a result, the playground location had the highest thermal environment, and the roof (grass) location had the lowest. The mean difference between the two locations was 0.8-1.1℃ in air temperature, 1.8-4.0% in relative humidity, and 7.5-8.0℃ in mean radiant temperature. In open space locations, the wind speed was 0.4-0.5 ms-1 higher than others. Also, a wind tunnel effect happened at the Apt-center location during the afternoon. For the human thermal sensation, PET and UTCI, the mean differences between the playground and roof (grass) locations were: 5.2℃ (Max. 11.7℃) in late spring and 5.4℃ (Max. 18.1℃) in summer in PET; and 3.0℃ (Max. 6.1℃) in late spring and 2.6℃ (Max. 9.8℃) in summer in UTCI. The mean differences indicated a level change in PET and 1/2 level in UTCI, and the maximum differences showed greater changes, 2-3 levels in PET, and 1-1.5 levels in UTCI. Moreover, the roof (grass) location gave 4.6℃ PET reduction and a 2.5℃ UTCI reduction in late spring, and a 4.4℃ PET reduction and a 2.0℃ UTCI reduction in the summer when compared with the roof (cement) location, which results in a 2/3 level change in PET and a 1/3 level in UTCI. Green infrastructure locations [roof (grass), ground, and a tree-lined road] were not statistically significant in the reduction of PET and UTCI in thermal environment modifying effects. The implementation of green infrastructure, such as rooftop gardens, grass pavement, and street tree planting, should be adopted in landscape planning and be employed for human thermal environment modification.

Background: Complete arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) by sequential anastomoses with one or two arterial grafts provides favorable outcomes. However, problems of insufficient graft length, hypopefusion, kinking of graft, and unfavorable course of graft may be encountered. To solve these problems, we have used different technique with multiple arterial Y composite graft to allow end-to-side rather than sequential anastomoses and evaluated the results of this method. Material and Method: Between February 2003 and October 2004, If patients underwent total arterial OPCAB using multiple arterial V composite grafts with left internal mammary artery (LIMA), radial artery (RA), and right internal mammary artery (RIMA). We divided RA into multiple segments by number of distal target site after measuring of individual proper length and constructed arterial composite graft. One of segments was sutured end-to-side to LIMA and other segment was sutured end-to-side to the previously constructed radial graft. Postoperative graft patency was evaluated in 6f patients by multi-slice computed tomegraphy. Result: An average of $2.5\pm0.6$ arteries and $3.7pm0.7$ distal anastomoses per patient were done. There was no perioperative myocardial infarction, clinical hypoperfusion syndromes, and operative mortality. Postoperative mean CK-MB level was $17.4pm29.7\;IU/L.$Overall graft patency was $99.1\%\;(214/216)(LIMA:\;100\%,\;RA:\;98.4\%,\;RIMA:\;100\%).$ Conclusion: This technique allows total arterial OPCAB without technical problems and provides excellent early clinical results and graft patency. We believe that this technique is more convenient in the obtuse marginal area compared to sequential technique, and helpful in patients who require complex arterial grafting.

The present study measured the light transmission to quantify the smoke density(smoke mass concentration) through the doorway in a compartment fire and performed the uncertainty analysis to evaluate the reliability of the measurement technique. The optical light extinction method based on Bourguer's law was applied to estimate the smoke density of doorway exhausting smoke flow in upper layer of a compartment for methane gas fires. The measurement uncertainty of the light extinction measurement was evaluated for the light transmittance, path length, and specific mass extinction coefficient and the expanded uncertainty was estimated about 20% with confidence level of 95%. The mean smoke density through the doorway for the methane fire was calculated for quasi-steady fire and the smoke density linearly increased as the GER increased.

본 연구는 최근 서울시를 중심으로 진행되고 있는 도시 가로조명의 광원교체에 따른 조명환경 개선효과를 조사 분석하였다. 조사대상은 이미 기존의 나트륨램프를 고효율 메탈할라이드 램프로 교체한 서울시 종로구의 창경궁길로 선정하였다. 평가방법은 조사대상을 중심으로 야간의 교체 전, 후의 조명현황조사 및 물리량을 측정하였으며, 이를 토대로 개선효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 광원을 교체한 후 수평면 조도는 약 1.4배, 스칼라 조도는 약 1.3배 증가하였으며, 공간의 평균 휘도값은 $0.06cd/m^2$ 증가하였다. 색온도는 2,399[K]에서 3,632[K]로 증가하여 공간의 느낌이 따뜻한 느낌에서 차가운 느낌으로 변화되었는데, 이는 기존의 평온한 이미지에서 부드러운 이미지로 변화 된 것으로 분석된다. 색도는 주황색에 가까운 노란색에서 엷은 노란색을 띠는 백색으로 변화되었으며, 이는 램프의 연색성에 의하여 사물의 식별성에 대한 가시도가 증가한 것으로 분석된다. 또한, 에너지 절감형 친환경 메탈할라이드 램프의 교체에 의하여 앞으로 연간 에너지 절감효과도 클 것으로 기대된다.

인공순환수로에 정육면체 수리구조물을 구간별로 설치하여 흐름특성에 따른 깔따구의 서식경향을 조사하였다. 정밀한 흐름특성을 분석하기 위하여 난류계산을 수행하였으며, 인공순환수로에 깔따구를 투입하고 3일경과 후 깔따구의 개체수를 조사하였다. 인공순환수로는 단면 폭 29cm, 높이 30cm인 구조로 제작되었으며 직선구간의 길이는 120cm이다. 인공순환수로의 직선구간에 길이 10cm의 정육면체 수리구조물을 20cm 간격으로 양쪽 벽면부에 4개씩 균일하게 설치하였다. 자연하천에서 채집된 원수를 수심 20cm가 되도록 투입한 후 유기물을 하상에 고르게 깔고, 회전날개를 이용하여 평균유속 10cm/s로 안정화 시킨 후 깔따구 투입하였다. 실험시작 3일 경과 후, 깔따구의 서식경향을 조사한 결과 깔따구는 수리구조물 직하류부에 주로 서식하였다. 이는 주 흐름방향 유속분포가 수리구조물 후방에서 급격히 작아져 깔따구들이 정착하기 좋은 환경을 제공하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 인공순환수로 직선구간의 안쪽 벽면과 바깥쪽 벽면의 깔따구 개체수는 안쪽 벽면이 바깥쪽 벽면에 비하여 2배 정도 많다. 이는 수리구조물 사이 안쪽 벽면 하상의 시계방향 회전흐름 때문으로 분석되며 상대적으로 이러한 흐름은 바깥쪽 벽면에서 작다. 실험 및 수치해석 결과, 깔따구는 상대적으로 유속이 작은 곳에 서식하며, 이차류의 경향에 따라 서식처를 이동하는 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 생태적 기능을 고려하여 다양한 수리학적 조건 하에서 난류계산 및 유속측정을 통한 연구가 필요하다. 이와 같은 연구는 친환경적으로 하천을 복원시키는데 유용한 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.은 silt나 clay보다 입경이 큰 모래나 자갈을 경유 하면서 오염물의 저감효과가 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 유입유량의 대부분이 표면으로 유출된다는 점을 고려할 때 표면유출수의 오염도를 낮추는 것이 유입오염물 저감효과에 보다 큰 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.문에 자료의 이상적 유지 관리가 이루어지며 복잡한 2차원 수질해석 모형을 수월하게 운영할 수 있는 시스템으로 개발하였다.제외하면, 부자측정 방법에 의한 유량산정시 가장 큰 오차원인은 홍수시 측정된 유속측선의 위치와 홍수 전후로 측정된 횡단면상의 위치가 일치하지 않는 점과, 대부분 두 측정 구간의 평균값을 대푯값으로 사용한다는 점이다. 본 연구는 다년간의 유량 측정 및 검증 경험과 자료를 토대로 현장에서 부자를 이용하여 측정된 측정성과를 정확도 높은 유량자료로 산정하는데 있어서의 문제점을 도출하고, 이로 인해 발생하는 오차를 추정하여 그 개선방안을 제시해 보고자한다. 더불어 보다 정확한 유량 산정을 위한 기준과 범주를 제시하고자 한다.리적 특성을 잘 반영하며, 도시지역의 복잡한 배수시스템 해석모형과 지표범람 모형을 통합한 모형 개발로 인해 더욱 정교한 도시지역에서의 홍수 범람 해석을 실시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 모형의 개발로 침수상황의 시간별 진행과정을 분석함으로써 도시홍수에 대한 침수위험 지점 파악 및 주민대피지도 구축 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 있을 것으로 판단되었다.4일간의 기상변화가 자발성 기흉 발생에 영향을 미친다고 추론할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구에서 추론된 기상변화와 기흉 발생과의 인과관계를 확인하고 좀 더 구체화하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것이다.게

The information on travel time in providing the information of traffic to drivers is one of the most important data to control a traffic congestion efficiently. Especially, this information is the major element of route choice of drivers, and based on the premise that it has the high degree of confidence in real situation. This study developed a vehicle arrival time prediction algorithm called as "VAT-DV" for 6 corridors in total 6.1Km of "Nam-san area trffic information system" in order to give an information of congestion to drivers using VMS, ARS, and WEB. The spatial scope of this study is 2.5km~3km sections of each corridor, but there are various situations of traffic flow in a short period because they have signalized intersections in a departure point and an arrival point of each corridor, so they have almost characteristics of interrupted and uninterrupted traffic flow. The algorithm uses the information on a demand volume and a queue length. The demand volume is estimated from density of each points based on the Greenburg model, and the queue length is from the density and speed of each point. In order to settle the variation of the unit time, the result of this algorithm is strategically regulated by importing the AVI(Automatic Vehicle Identification), one of the number plate matching methods. In this study, the AVI travel time information is composed by Hybrid Model in order to use it as the basic parameter to make one travel time in a day using ILD to classify the characteristics of the traffic flow along the queue length. According to the result of this study, in congestion situation, this algorithm has about more than 84% degree of accuracy. Specially, the result of providing the information of "Nam-san area traffic information system" shows that 72.6% of drivers are available.

These studies were conducted to investigate the changes and relation in protein, rheology and bread-mating properties during hard and soft wheat maturation. Samples were collected from the fields at 25 to 50 days after heading at intervals of 5 days. Protein content, sedimentation value and Pelshenke value of the tested wheat kernel or flour differed significantly between hard and soft wheat, and was relatively constant at 35 to 40 days after heading in each cultivar. In Mixogram water absorption of the flour, soft wheat increased only slightly, while intermediate and hard wheat increased remarkedly with maturation of the kernel. Total Mixogram characteristics increased and reached its maximum level at 35 days after heading. Farinogram pattern and bread loaf volume of the flour was greatly differences at the early stages of development due to cultivar, and was relatively constant at 40 days after heading. Significant positive and negative correlations were obtained among the protein and rheological properties, and tread loaf volume as the kernel matured.
