Columns in multi-storey frames are presently categorised as either braced or unbraced, usually by means of the stability index criterion, for estimating their effective length ratios by design aids such as 'alignment charts'. This procedure, however, ignores the transition in buckling behaviour between the braced condition and the unbraced one. Hence, this results in either an overestimation or an underestimation of effective length estimates of columns in frames that are in fact 'partially braced'. It is shown in this paper that the transitional behaviour is gradual, and can be approximately modelled by means of a 'fuzzy logic' based technique. The proposed technique is simple and intuitively agreeable. It fills the existing gap between the braced and unbraced conditions in present codal provisions.

The directional ability of an automobile has an influence on driver directly, and hence it must be given most priority. Alignment factors of automobile such as the camber, caster and toe directly affect the directional ability of a vehicle. The above mentioned factors are determined by the pose of interlinks in the assembly of an automobile front chassis module. Measuring the position of center point of ball joints in the front lower arm is very difficult. A method to determine this position is suggested in this paper. Pose estimation for front chassis module and dimensional evaluation to find the rotational characteristics of front lower arm were developed based on fundamental geometric techniques. To interpret the inspection data obtained for front chassis module, 3-D best fit method is needed. The best fit method determines the relationship between the nominal design coordinate system and the corresponding feature coordinate system. The least squares method based on singular value decomposition is used in this paper.

Due to key roles for the electrochemical stability and charge capacity the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) has been extensively studied in anodes of a Li-ion battery cell. There is, however, few of investigation for cathodes. Using first-principles based calculations we describe atomic-level process of the SEI layer formation at the interface of a carbonate electrolyte and $LiMn_2O_4$ spinel cathode. Furthermore, using beyond the conventional density functional theory (DFT+U) calculations we examine the work function of the cathode and frontier orbitals of the electrolyte. Based on the results we propose that proton transfer at the interface is an essential mechanism initiating the SEI layer formation in the $LiMn_2O_4$. Our results can guide a design concept for stable and high capacity Li-ion battery cell through screening an optimum electrolyte fine-tuned energy band alignment for a given cathode.

Service identification and composition is one of the key characteristics for a successful Service-Oriented Computing, being receiving a lot of attention from researchers in recent years. In the Service-Oriented Analysis, the identification of business services has to be preceded before application services are identified. Most approaches addressing the derivation of business services are based on heuristic methods and human experts. The manual identification of business services is highly expensive and ambiguous task, and it may result in the service design with bad quality because of errors and misconception. Although a few of approaches of automatic service identification are proposed, most of them are in focus on technical architectures and application services. In this paper, we propose a model on the automatic identification of business services by horizontal and vertical service alignment using Enterprise Architecture as an ontology. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed model of business services identification through a case study based on Department of Defense Enterprise Architecture.

This study aimed to ascertain whether electronic courses at the deanship of electronic learning and distance education at Umm Al-Qura University meet the quality standards developed by the Quality Matters (QM) organization. This endeavor adopted a mixed method of an explanatory sequential research design for an in-depth understanding of the topic under scrutiny. The sample of the study consisted of ten courses designed at the deanship and reviewed using an evaluation form. The results showed that the courses in focus did not meet the criteria of QM. Based on this finding, a semi-structured interview was designed to collect relevant data from the syllabus designers at the deanship. The interviews yielded information on the difficulties the course designers faced when designing QM-criteria-based courses. The results obtained from the interviews showed that the designers experienced administrative, technical, and faculty-member-related challenges that, when producing online courses, intercepted their way to achieving the QM standards. The study closed with some recommendations, the most important of which is a call for re-developing online courses in alignment with the well-recognized QM standards.

본 연구는 3차원의 실제 도로형상을 고려하여 일관성을 평가하는 방법으로 가속도 개념을 사용하였다. 차량의 운행과 운전자가 받는 느낌을 근거로 가속도는 안전에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 특히. 운전자를 중심으로 가속도의 크기는 상당한 영향 요소로서 작용되어진다. 이를 근거로 3차원 도로상에서의 각 지점의 가속도를 계산하고 일관성 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 가속도의 계산은 3차원의 변위를 각각 계산하여 변위에 대한 벡터의 합으로 정의하였고 곡선부 내에 속도 예측모형(정준화, 2001)을 사용하여 속도 프로파일을 작성하고 이 프로파일을 근거로 각 지점의 속도를 정하여 가속도를 구하였다. 일관성 평가는 기존의 연구에서 3차원 가속도의 범위를 정하고 g-g-g diagram을 작성하여 해당 범위에 벗어나는 것을 일관성에 어긋나는 것으로 간주하고 평가의 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 최소 설계 기준을 바탕으로 가상의 도로를 예시로 들어 가속도의 변화를 계산함으로서 일관성 평가 방법을 적용하였으나 해당 방법이 한계가 드러나 있는 기존의 속도 예측모형을 사용하고 있어 기타의 차량 상태(서스펜션, 타이어, 차종 등)를 고려하지 못하기에 정확한 가속도의 값을 제시하지는 못한 실정이다. 그러나 속도 프로파일만 정의되어지면 복합곡선, 완화곡선 등의 모든 도로형상에 대하여 가속도를 계산함으로서 이를 도로의 일관성 평가에 사용이 가능할 것이나 현재는 3차원 형상이 고려된 속도예측모형과 복합선형 등이 고려된 속도예측모형을 제시할 수 있을 것이다. 향후에는 이러한 속도예측모형이나 속도프로파일모형에 관한 연구가 계속 이루어져야 하고 실험차량을 통한 일관성 평가의 정확한 기준의 개발과 검증이 요구된다.

본 연구에서는 저가의 INS와 GPS 정보를 합성하여 고기동 환경에서 항체의 위치와 자세정보를 연속적으로 제공할 수 있는 약결합 방식의 통합 알고리즘을 구현하였고, 4S-Van에 장착된 이미지 센서의 위치와 자세결정 방법에 사용하였다. (D)GPS/INS 통합을 실시하기 전 IMU의 초기 정렬과정에서 방위각은 두 대의 GPS를 통해 결정하였으며 칼만 필터를 이용한 정밀정렬을 수행하였다. 통합 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 차량 테스트와 시뮬레이션 테스트를 병행하였다. 통합 결과 차량 시험을 기준으로 나타난 위치 오차는 직선도로에서 l0cm 내외의 정확도를 보이며 자세오차의 경우 시뮬레이션을 기준으로 롤각은 $0^{\circ}.01$, 피치각은 $0^{\circ}.03$, 요각은 $0^{\circ}.1$ 내외의 정확도를 보였다. 구현된 (D)GPS/INS 알고리즘은 기하보정 방법을 통해 이미지센서의 위치와 자세정보 제공자로서 활용될 수 있다. 따라서 4S-Van에 장착된 이미지 센서의 영상획득 시각에 대한 기하학적인 정보를 통해 지상의 건물이나 도로 시설물 등에 대한 3차원 공간 자료 구축이 가능하다고 보며, 구축된 정보를 통해 기존의 수치지도 갱신, 도로 시설물 관리, 비디오 GIS 데이터 베이스 구축 등에 대한 공간 자료 연계 및 응용에 활용할 계획이다.

Purpose Recently, many organizations are actively adopting enterprise architecture (EA) as a methodology to manage IT assets and build IT-based business system. This study intended to empirically examine how the role of EA operating unit and utilization capability of organizational members impact on system performance at the post-adoption stage. A balanced score card (BSC) is being used as a framework for a company's key performance indicator (KPI). Design/methodology/approach This study tried to investigate the causal relationship between the four perspectives of the balanced scorecard as an influencing factor of the introduction of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) on the financial value. In particular, the mediating effect between the customer's point of view and the business process point of view was investigated between the learning growth point of view and the financial point of view, and the interaction effect (regulating effect) of strategic linkage in the system introduction process was investigated. Findings The results of the study were first, that the organizational learning and growth perspective had a positive effect on the customer perspective, business process, and financial perspective. In addition, the customer perspective and the process perspective also had a positive influence on the financial perspective. Second, between the learning growth and financial perspectives, the customer perspective and the process perspective showed a partial mediating effect. Third, as for strategic linkage, the interaction effect between the customer perspective, the learning growth perspective, and the process perspective and the financial perspective was not significant. The results of this study are expected to provide a framework for performance evaluation to organizations that have introduced ERP systems.

PURPOSE. To determine wear amount of single molar crowns, made from four different restoratives, and opposing natural teeth through computerized fabrication techniques using 3D image alignment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 24 single crowns (N = 24 patients, age range: 18 - 50) were made from lithium disilicate (IPS E-max CAD), lithium silicate and zirconia based (Vita Suprinity CAD), resin matrix ceramic material (Cerasmart, GC), and dual matrix (Vita Enamic CAD) blocks. After digital impressions (Cerec 3D Bluecam, DentsplySirona), the crowns were designed and manufactured (Cerec 3, DentsplySirona). A dualcuring resin cement was used for cementation (Variolink Esthetic DC, Ivoclar). Then, measurement and recording of crowns and the opposing enamel surfaces with the intraoral scanner were made as well as at the third and sixth month follow-ups. All measurements were superimposed with a software (David-Laserscanner, V3.10.4). Volume loss due to wear was calculated from baseline to follow-up periods with Siemens Unigraphics NX 10 software. Statistical analysis was accomplished by Repeated Measures for ANOVA (SPSS 21) at = .05 significance level. RESULTS. After 6 months, insignificant differences of the glass matrix and resin matrix materials for restoration/enamel wear were observed (P>.05). While there were no significant differences between the glass matrix groups (P>.05), significant differences between the resin matrix group materials (P<.05) were obtained. Although Cerasmart and Enamic were both resin matrix based, they exhibited different wear characteristics. CONCLUSION. Glass matrix materials showed less wear both on their own and opposing enamel surfaces than resin matrix ceramic materials.

Protein kinases (PKs) are an important source of drug targets, especially in oncology. With 500 or more kinases in the human genome and only few kinase inhibitors approved, kinase inhibitor discovery is becoming more and more valuable. Because the discovery of kinase inhibitors with an increased selectivity is an important therapeutic concept, many researchers have been trying to address this issue with various methodologies. Although many attempts to predict the activity and selectivity of kinase inhibitors have been made, the issue of selectivity has not yet been resolved. Here, we studied kinase selectivity by generating predictive models and analyzing their descriptors by using kinase-profiling data. The 5-fold cross-validation accuracies for the 51 models were between 72.4% and 93.7% and the ROC values for all the 51 models were over 0.7. The phylogenetic tree based on the descriptor distance is quite different from that generated on the basis of sequence alignment.
