  • 대부분 병렬처리 시스템에서 성능 파라미터는 복잡하고 프로그램의 수행 시 예견할 수 없게 변하기 때문에 컴파일러가 프로그램 수행에 대한 최적의 성능 파라미터들을 컴파일 시에 결정하기가 힘들다. 본 논문은 병렬 처리 시스템의 프로그램 수행 시, 변화하는 시스템 성능 상태에 따라 전체 성능이 최적화로 적응하는 적응 수행 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 이 적응 수행 방식 중에 적응 프로그램 수행을 위한 이론적인 방법론 및 구현 방법에 대해 제안하고 적응 제어 수행을 위해 프로그램의 데이타 공유 단위에 대한 적응방식(적응 입도 방식)을 사용한다. 적응 프로그램 수행 방식은 프로그램 수행 시 하드웨어와 컴파일러의 도움으로 프로그램 자신이 최적의 성능을 얻을 수 있도록 적응하는 방식이다. 적응 제어 수행을 위해 수행 시에 병렬 분산 공유 메모리 시스템에서 프로세서 간 공유될 수 있은 데이타의 공유 상태에 따라 공유 데이타의 크기를 변화시키는 적응 입도 방식을 적용했다. 적응 입도 방식은 기존의 공유 메모리 시스템의 공유 데이타 단위의 통신 방식에 대단위 데이타의 전송 방식을 사용자의 입장에 투명하게 통합한 방식이다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면 적응 입도 방식에 의해서 하드웨어 분산 공유 메모리 시스템보다 43%까지 성능이 개선되었다. Abstract On parallel machines, in which performance parameters change dynamically in complex and unpredictable ways, it is difficult for compilers to predict the optimal values of the parameters at compile time. Furthermore, these optimal values may change as the program executes. This paper addresses this problem by proposing adaptive execution that makes the program or control execution adapt in response to changes in machine conditions. Adaptive program execution makes it possible for programs to adapt themselves through the collaboration of the hardware and the compiler. For adaptive control execution, we applied the adaptive scheme to the granularity of sharing adaptive granularity. Adaptive granularity is a communication scheme that effectively and transparently integrates bulk transfer into the shared memory paradigm, with a varying granularity depending on the sharing behavior. Simulation results show that adaptive granularity improves performance up to 43% over the hardware implementation of distributed shared memory systems.

  • In this study, we examined the effects of University adaptation on career adaptation through self-leadership and learning commitment, and identified the regulatory effects of demographic characteristics (sex, grade, grade level, and willingness to work). To this end, we analyzed the data for 289 college students. The results of the study are as follows. First, adaptation to University life has a significant impact on learning commitment and self-leadership. However, adaptation to University life has an indirect effect on learning commitment and self-leadership rather than directly affecting career adaptation. Second, demographic characteristics have a regulatory effect on the path through which University adaptation affects career adaptation through self-leadership and learning commitment. The factors that were regulated were age, grade, and willingness to work. Therefore, in order to adapt to university life and adapt to career, we developed a program to improve self-leadership and learning commitment, and suggested that customized guidance is needed considering the differences in personal characteristics such as gender and academic background in university life and career counseling.

  • Purpose: This study is a comparison of spatiotemporal parameters between straight and curved walking in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke, investigating whether those patients can adapt their walking according to task demands and environmental changes. Methods: Twenty-eight patients who diagnosed with their first stroke at least six months prior to this study were recruited. They were measured for spatiotemporal parameters in three different walking conditions: straight walking, walking with an inner curve to the more-affected leg, and walking with an inner curve to the less-affected leg. This study also measured secondary clinical factors, such as the timed up-and-go test, the trunk impairment scale, and the dynamic gait index. The statistical methods for the three different walking conditions, using the averaged value of each condition, was repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The difference in cadence was statistically significant when comparing straight walking, walking with an inner curve to the more-affected leg, and walking with an inner curve to the less-affected leg. Swing duration (%) was also a statistically significant difference between straight walking and walking with an inner curve to the more-affected leg. However, differences in other spatiotemporal parameters were not statistically significant among the three conditions. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that stroke survivors could adapt their walking according to straight and curved walking conditions, although cadence and swing duration were different between straight and curved walking groups.

  • It takes a relatively long time for construction companies that lack the ability to finance to adapt to construction policy in the construction industry. However, financial institutions rarely provide financial products to construction companies, particularly small and medium-sized construction companies, because their security capacity and credit rating are low. This study investigates the financial products needed for small and medium construction companies to adapt to policy changes. The demand of small and medium construction companies for financial products is analyzed by experts' advise and survey. And, when the investigated financial products for the construction industry are introduced, the legal systems in need of revision are analyzed. Based on the analyzed demand and the number of legal systems needing revision, the priority for the introduction of financial products to the construction industry is analyzed. Among the financial products investigated, the priority of "Expert consultation, such as accountant, tax accountant, lawyer, etc." is the highest. In future studies, the criteria and method of financial product development for high-priority financial products could be researched.

  • Objectives: It is critical to assess community readiness (CR) when implementing childhood obesity prevention programs to ensure their eventual success and sustainability. Multiple tools have been developed based on various conceptions of readiness. One of the most widely used and flexible tools is based on the community readiness model (CRM). This study aimed to adapt the CRM and assess the validity of a community readiness tool (CRT) for childhood obesity prevention programs in Iran. Methods: A Delphi study that included 26 individuals with expertise in 8 different subject areas was conducted to adapt the CRM into a theoretical framework for developing a CRT. After linguistic validation was conducted for a 35-question CR interview guide, the modified interview guide was evaluated for its content and face validity. The quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed using Stata version 13 and MAXQDA 2010, respectively. Results: The Delphi panelists confirmed the necessity/appropriateness and adequacy of all 6 CRM dimensions. The Persian version of the interview guide was then modified based on the qualitative results of the Delphi study, and 2 more questions were added to the community climate dimension of the original CRT. All questions in the modified version had acceptable content and face validity. The final CR interview guide included 37 questions across 6 CRM dimensions. Conclusions: By adapting the CRM and confirming linguistic, content, and face validity, the present study devised a CRT for childhood obesity prevention programs that can be used in relevant studies in Iran.

  • The collimator is one of the high-heat-flux components used to avoid a series of vacuum and thermal problems. In this paper, the heat load distribution throughout the collimator is first calculated through experimental data, and a transient thermodynamic simulation analysis of the original model is carried out. The error of the pipe outlet temperature between the simulated and experimental values is 1.632%, indicating that the simulation result is reliable. Second, the model is optimized to improve the heat transfer performance of the collimator, including the contact mode between the pipe and the flange, the pipe material and the addition of a twisted tape in the pipe. It is concluded that the convective heat transfer coefficient of the optimized model is increased by 15.381% and the maximum wall temperature is reduced by 16.415%; thus, the heat transfer capacity of the optimized model is effectively improved. Third, to adapt the long-pulse steady-state operation of the experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in the future, steady-state simulations of the original and optimized collimators are carried out. The results show that the maximum temperature of the optimized model is reduced by 37.864% compared with that of the original model. The optimized model was changed as little as possible to obtain a better heat exchange structure on the premise of ensuring the consumption of the same mass flow rate of water so that the collimator can adapt to operational environments with higher heat fluxes and long pulses in the future. These research methods also provide a reference for the future design of components under high-energy and long-pulse operational conditions.

  • The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data to help college students adapt to college life by grasping the effects of mentoring skills, self-concept, career decision-making self-efficacy, and major satisfaction on college life adaptation. To achieve the purpose of the study, data were collected from January 17 to January 27, 2024, targeting college students from one university in C city located in G-do. The survey was conducted online. As a result of the study, the mentoring function of the subjects averaged 4.11 points (out of 5 points), the self-concept was 4.29 points (out of 5 points), the career decision-making self-efficacy was 4.04 points (out of 5 points), the major satisfaction was 4.45 points (out of 5 points), and the college life adaptation was 3.91 points (out of 5 points). The factor that most influenced the subject's adaptation to college life was career decision-making self-efficacy, followed by self-concept, mentoring function, and major-art field. The explanatory power of the model was 70.2%. Specifically, the higher the career decision-making self-efficacy, the higher the self-concept, and the higher the mentoring function, the higher the adaptation to college life. Educational intervention programs (non-curricular programs) are needed to adapt to college life for college students, and subsequent studies need to examine the effects of the developed programs.

  • In this paper we present a text detection method inspired by wavelet packet analysis and improved fuzzy clustering algorithm(IAFC).This approach assumes that the text and non-text regions are considered as two different texture regions. The text detection is achieved by using wavelet packet analysis as a feature analysis. The wavelet packet analysis is a method of wavelet decomposition that offers a richer range of possibilities for document image. From these multi scale features, we adapt the improved fuzzy clustering algorithm based on the unsupervised learning rule. The results show that our text detection method is effective for document images scanned from newspapers and journals.
