As the performance of the system increases, more parallelized data is being processed than single processing of data. Today's cpu structure has been developed to leverage multicore, and hence data processing methods are being developed to enable parallel processing. In recent years desktop cpu has increased multicore, data is growing exponentially, and there is also a growing need for data processing as artificial intelligence develops. This neural network of artificial intelligence consists of a matrix, making it advantageous for parallel processing. This paper aims to speed up the processing of the system by using raspberrypi to implement the cluster building and parallel processing system against the backdrop of the foregoing discussion. Raspberrypi is a credit card-sized single computer made by the raspberrypi Foundation in England, developed for education in schools and developing countries. It is cheap and easy to get the information you need because many people use it. Distributed processing systems should be supported by programs that connected multiple computers in parallel and operate on a built-in system. RaspberryPi is connected to switchhub, each connected raspberrypi communicates using the internal network, and internally implements parallel processing using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Parallel processing programs can be programmed in python and can also use C or Fortran. The system was tested for parallel processing as a result of multiplying the two-dimensional arrangement of 10000 size by 0.1. Tests have shown a reduction in computational time and that parallelism can be reduced to the maximum number of cores in the system. The systems in this paper are manufactured on a Linux-based single computer and are thought to require testing on systems in different environments.

This study aims at validating simulations of the forced and freely vibrating cylinders at Reynolds number of approximately 500 in order to identify the capability of the CFD code, and to establish the analysis process of the vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The direct numerical and large eddy simulations were employed to resolve the various length scales of the vortices, and the morphing technique was used to consider a motion of the circular cylinder. For the forced vibration case, both in- and anti-phase VIV processes were observed regarding the frequency ratio. Namely, when the frequency ratio approaches to unity, the synchronization/lock-in process occurs, leading to substantial increases in drag and lift coefficients. This is strongly linked with the switch in timing of the vortex formation, and this physical tendency is consistent with that of Blackburn and Henderson (J. Fluid Mech., 1999, 385, 255-286) as well as force coefficients. For the free oscillation case, the mass and damping ratio of 50.8 and 0.0024 were considered based on the study of Blackburn et al. (J. Fluid Struct., 2000, 15, 481-488) to allow the direct comparison of simulation results. The simulation results for a peak amplitude of the cylinder and a shedding mode are reasonably comparable to that of Blackburn et al. (2000). Consequently, based on aforementioned results, it can be concluded that numerical methods were successfully validated and the calculation procedure was well established for VIV analysis with reasonable results.

Financial supports of private facilities which were damaged by natural disaster are currently performed partially by a government and the guideline of corresponding recovery costs be the natural disaster prevention law in South Korea. However, current financial recovery guidelines for the damaged private facilities has not been estimated objectively so far. This research presents advanced recovery cost search and assesment methods for the damaged private facilities under natural disaster. To produce more accurate data, an investigation for practical field markets which are appointed in Kangwon area is conducted and the proposed recovery values per each item are compared to exact field market values. Finally. more realistic and accurate recovery cost guideline including evaluation and more effective market surveying method are suggested here. A theoretical and practical program for systematic recovery cost calculation is proposed and expected to be used at public institution before long.

Objectives: The major objective of this study was to develop a tier 2 exposure model combining tier 1 exposure model estimates and worker monitoring data and suggesting narrower exposure ranges than tier 1 results. Methods: Bayesian statistics were used to develop a tier 2 exposure model as was done for the European Union (EU) tier 2 exposure models, for example Advanced REACH Tools (ART) and Stoffenmanager. Bayesian statistics required a prior and data to calculate the posterior results. In this model, tier 1 estimated serving as a prior and worker exposure monitoring data at the worksite of interest were entered as data. The calculation of Bayesian statistics requires integration over a range, which were performed using a Riemann sum algorithm. From the calculated exposure estimates, 95% range was extracted. These algorithm have been realized on Excel spreadsheet for convenience and easy access. Some fail-proof features such as locking the spreadsheet were added in order to prevent errors or miscalculations derived from careless usage of the file. Results: The tier 2 exposure model was successfully built on a separate Excel spreadsheet in the same file containing tier 1 exposure model. To utilize the model, exposure range needs to be estimated from tier 1 model and worker monitoring data, at least one input are required. Conclusions: The developed tier 2 exposure model can help industrial hygienists obtain a narrow range of worker exposure level to a chemical by reflecting a certain set of job characteristics.

Several low-cost global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers do not support general range-domain correction, and DGNSS-CP (differential GNSS) method had been suggested to solve this problem. It improves its position accuracy by projecting range-domain corrections to the position-domain and then differentiating the stand-alone position by the projected correction. To project the range-domain correction, line-of-sight vectors from the receiver to each satellite should be calculated. The line-of-sight vectors can be obtained from GNSS broadcast ephemeris data or satellite direction information, and this paper shows positioning performance for the two methods. Stand-alone positioning result provided from Septentrio PolaRx4 Pro receiver was used to show the difference. The satellite direction information can reduce the computing load for the DGNSS-CP by 1/15, even though its root mean square(RMS) of position error is bigger than that of ephemeris data by 0.1m.

In order to render global illumination realistically, we need to accurately compute the direct and indirect illumination that represents the light information incoming through complex light paths. In this process, the indirect illumination at given point is greatly affected by surrounding geometries. Harmonic mean distance is a mathematical tool which is often used as a metric indicating the distance from a surface point to its visible objects in 3D space, and plays a key role in such advanced global illumination algorithms as irradiance/radiance caching and ambient occlusion. In this paper, we analyze the accuracy of harmonic mean distance estimated against various environments in the final gathering and photon mapping methods. Based on the experimental results, we discuss our experiences and future directions that may help develop an effective harmonic mean distance computation method in the future.

Purpose: Dentin hypersensitivity is a potential threat to oral health. Laser irradiation may provide reliable and reproducible treatment but remains controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of $CO_2$ or erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser therapy, and to assess mineral content. Methods: Eighteen human single-rooted teeth affected with advanced periodontitis were obtained. Buccal and lingual surfaces were planed to form 36 specimens. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid gel (24%) was applied to remove the smear layer and simulate hypersensitive teeth. The experimental groups were: group 1, control (no irradiation); group 2, $CO_2$ laser (repetitive pulsed mode, 2 W, $2.7J/cm^2$); and group 3, Er:YAG laser (slight contact mode, 40 mJ/pulse and 10 Hz). To evaluate dentinal tubule occlusion, six specimens per group (2-mm thickness) were prepared and observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for calculation of the occlusion percentage. To evaluate the mineral content, six specimens per group (0.6-mm thickness) were used, and then the levels of Ca, K, Mg, Na, and P were measured by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. In addition, the surface temperature of the specimens during laser irradiation was analyzed by a thermograph. Results: The SEM photomicrographs indicated melted areas around exposed dentinal tubules and a significantly greater percentage of tubular occlusion in the $CO_2$ and Er:YAG laser groups than the control, and in the Er:YAG group than the $CO_2$ laser group. In addition, no significant differences were noted among the experimental groups for the mineral elements analyzed. The $CO_2$ laser group showed an evident thermal effect compared to the Er:YAG group. Conclusions: $CO_2$ and Er:YAG laser are effective in treating dentin hypersensitivity and reducing its symptoms. However, the Er:YAG laser has a more significant effect; thus, it may constitute a useful conditioning item. Furthermore, neither $CO_2$ nor Er:YAG lasers affected the compositional structure of the mineral content.

Asynchronous motors are widely used in many fields. The various starting methods have been developed for the asynchronous motors which have large power compared to source power. The most popular ways to start the motors are to reduce the voltage of motor's stator or change the resistance fed rotor. It is needed to the specific time to reduce the voltage and change the resistance at a specific step. We call it the switching time. It is very difficult to know the switching time exactly. It varies with different types of motors as well as load characteristics. Thus, this paper focuses on the design and development for the mathematical models of motor and load. And then it is implemented in SIMULINK in order to calculate this time. The simulation results are both compared and discussed in detail so that it can be applied for new system with various motors and loads.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of long base lengths of a fixed partial denture (FPD) to rotational resistance with variation of vertical wall angulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Trigonometric calculations were done to determine the maximum wall angle needed to resist rotational displacement of an experimental-FPD model in 2-dimensional plane. The maximum wall angle calculation determines the greatest taper that resists rotation. Two different axes of rotation were used to test this model with five vertical abutment heights of 3-, 3.5-, 4-, 4.5-, and 5-mm. The two rotational axes were located on the mesial-side of the anterior abutment and the distal-side of the posterior abutment. Rotation of the FPD around the anterior axis was counter-clockwise, Posterior-Anterior (P-A) and clockwise, Anterior-Posterior (A-P) around the distal axis in the sagittal plane. RESULTS. Low levels of vertical wall taper, ${\leq}10-degrees$, were needed to resist rotational displacement in all wall height categories; 2-to-6-degrees is generally considered ideal, with 7-to-10-degrees as favorable to the long axis of the abutment. Rotation around both axes demonstrated that two axial walls of the FPD resisted rotational displacement in each direction. In addition, uneven abutment height combinations required the lowest wall angulations to achieve resistance in this study. CONCLUSION. The vertical height and angulation of FPD abutments, two rotational axes, and the long base lengths all play a role in FPD resistance form.

Recently, DNA data of missing person, killed person, and missing child continue to increase but most of statistical calculation for paternity confirmation is being done through manual methods or Excel. Therefore, we need development of a software which is able to facilitate both systematic management and effective analysis of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) derived from DNA data. Without extensive testing, through a twenty-month study was developed a web-based system which performs paternity analysis and kinship analysis easily based on the various options. The former uses an existing algorithm for paternity index and the latter does Identity by descent (IBD) formula. Due to our system validated over real datasets in terms of likelihood ratio and probability of paternity, it ensures increased reliability as well as effective management and analysis of DNA data in mass disaster. In addition, it includes advanced features such as an integrated environment, user-centered interface, process automation and so on.
