Due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, wireless smart sensors (WSS) have received considerable recent attention for structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure. Though various wireless smart sensor networks (WSSN) have been successfully implemented for full-scale structural health monitoring (SHM) applications, monitoring of low-level ambient strain still remains a challenging problem for WSS due to A/D converter (ADC) resolution, inherent circuit noise, and the need for automatic operation. In this paper, the design and validation of high-precision strain sensor board for the Imote2 WSS platform and its application to SHM of a cable-stayed bridge are presented. By accurate and automated balancing of the Wheatstone bridge, signal amplification of up to 2507-times can be obtained, while keeping signal mean close to the center of the ADC span, which allows utilization of the full span of the ADC. For better applicability to SHM for real-world structures, temperature compensation and shunt calibration are also implemented. Moreover, the sensor board has been designed to accommodate a friction-type magnet strain sensor, in addition to traditional foil-type strain gages, facilitating fast and easy deployment. The wireless strain sensor board performance is verified through both laboratory-scale tests and deployment on a full-scale cable-stayed bridge.

U.S. Air Force Regulation 80-1 defines that a weapon system is composed of equipments, skills, and techniques, the composite of which ferns an instrument of combat. The complete weapon system includes all related facilities, equipments, materials, services, and personnels required for the operation of the system, so that the instrument of combat can be considered as a self-sufficient unit of striking power in its intended operational environment. Effectiveness of a weapon system can be expressed as a function of its liability, reliability and performance capability. Among these attributes which influence the weapon effectiveness, performance capability is considered to be the most critical factor for many weapon systems. In order to illustrate the application of the methodology of performance capability, a specific ease study on the effectiveness of Vulcan anti-air craft gun system is presented with special emphasis on hitting probability on moving targets, effects of artificial rounds dispersion, and several principles related to the deployment of the system. This thesis includes the thorough survey of the possibility of calculating the absolute value of hitting probability on moving targets, indicates that the effects of artificial rounds dispersion increase the value of probability only when the total number of rounds fired within fire range exceeds a certain critical number, and suggests that concentrated guns deployment is better than scattered deployment in order to obtain higher probability and lower average amount of rounds if it is assumed that the effects of counter-attack from enemy threats are not serious.

The ambient vibration measurement is an output-data-only dynamic testing where natural excitations are represented, for instance, by winds and typhoons. The modal identification involving output-only measurements requires the use of specific modal identification techniques. This paper presents the application of a reliable method (the Stochastic Subspace Identification - SSI) implemented in a general purpose software. As a criterion toward the robustness of identified modes, a bio-inspired optimization algorithm, with a highly nonlinear objective function, is introduced in order to find the optimal deployment of a reduced number of sensors across a large civil engineering structure for the validation of its modal identification. The Ting Kau Bridge (TKB), one of the longest cable-stayed bridges situated in Hong Kong, is chosen as a case study. The results show that the proposed method catches eigenvalues and eigenvectors even for a reduced number of sensors, without any significant loss of accuracy.

Purpose: This study was to propose effective deployment of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) installed at general supermarkets. Research design, data, and methodology : We conducted interview and data surveys on 72 large distributors in Seoul and Gyeonggi province in South Korea. The content of this survey was consisted of general status on the general supermarkets, AED deployment and management regarding public access defibrillation (PAD). G^⁎Power (v 3.1.9.4; Universität Kiel, Kiel, Germany) was also used to analyze statistical power. Radius and actual distance, radius and retrieval time were compared by t-test at α=.05. respectively. Results : Difference between the radius (102.7 meters) and the actual distance (187.8 meters) was 85.1m, it had statistically significant difference (p<.001). The actual distance was longer compared to the radius distance. Difference between the radius (114.1 seconds) and the retrieval time (208.7 seconds) was 94.6s, it had statistically significant difference (p<.001). The retrieval time took longer compared to the radius time as well. Conclusions : The finding shows that only 45.9% of the general supermarkets are satisfied with the actual AED coverage within 3 minutes. This needs to enhance AED deployment to reduce defibrillation time and AED management to boost application in South Korea.

회전익 항공기의 발달에 따라 사람이 탑승하는 유인 회전익 항공기의 안전과 관련된 장치들이 개발 될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형 멀티콥터 PAV에 외부 에어백이 장착될 수 있다는 점을 가정하였다. LS-DYNA의 Airbag Folding Application을 사용하여 Roll, Sigma, Zigzag 총 세 가지 폴딩이 이루어진 에어백 형상들을 모델링하고 자유낙하 충돌 해석을 수행하였다. 세 가지 모델의 최종 에어백 전개 시간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 전개가 시작되는 중 지면과 충돌 할 경우 Sigma Fold 방식의 외부 에어백이 전개 속도는 가장 빠르지만, PAV에 더 많은 충격력을 전달한다는 것을 확인하였으며, 최종적으로 Roll Fold 방식의 외부 에어백이 가장 작은 충격력을 전달한다는 결론을 도출하였다.

Task placement and scheduling are traditionally studied in following aspects: resource utilization, application throughput, application execution latency and starvation, and recently, the studies are more on application scalability and application performance. A methodology for task placement and scheduling centered on tasks based on virtual machines is studied in this paper to improve the performances of systems and dynamic adaptability in applications development and deployment oriented parallel computing. For parallel applications with no real-time constraints, we describe a thought of feature model and make a formal description for four layers of task placement and scheduling. To place the tasks to different layers of virtual computing systems, we take the performances of four layers as the goal function in the model of task placement and scheduling. Furthermore, we take the personal preference, the application scalability for a designer in his (her) development and deployment, as the constraint of this model. The workflow of task placement and scheduling based on virtual machines has been discussed. Then, an algorithm TPVM is designed to work out the optimal scheme of the model, and an algorithm TEVM completes the execution of tasks in four layers. The experiments have been performed to validate the effectiveness of time estimated method and the feasibility and rationality of algorithms. It is seen from the experiments that our algorithms are better than other four algorithms in performance. The results show that the methodology presented in this paper has guiding significance to improve the efficiency of virtual computing systems.
