This paper provides an overview of the use of different Distributed Optical Fiber Sensor systems (DOFSs) to perform Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) in the specific case of civil engineering structures. Nowadays, there are several methods available for extracting distributed measurements from optical fiber, and their use have to be according with the aims of the SHM performance. The continuous-in-space data is the common advantage of the different DOFSs over other conventional health monitoring systems and, depending on the particular characteristics of each DOFS, a global and/or local health structural evaluation is possible with different accuracy. Firstly, the fundamentals of different DOFSs and their principal advantages and disadvantages are presented. Then, laboratory and field tests using different DOFSs systems to measure strain in structural elements and civil structures are presented and discussed. Finally, based on the current applications, conclusions and future trends of DOFSs in SHM in civil structures are proposed.

Paraelectric lead landthanum titanate(PLT) thin films have been prepared by a reactive dc magnetron sputtering system using a multicomponent metal target. The surface area control of each element on the target markedly facilitates the fabrication of thin films of complex ceramic compounds. A postdeposition heat-treatment was applied to all as-deposited PLT thin films at annealing temperatures up to 75$0^{\circ}C$ for crystalization. The composition of the PLT(28) thin filmannealed at $650^{\circ}C$ was: Pb, 0.73; La, 0.28; Ti, 0.88; O, 2.9. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the thin film(200 nm) at low filed measurements (500 Vcm-1) are 1216 and 0.018, respectively. The charge storage density using a typical Sawyer-Tower circuit with a 500 Hz sine wave was 12.5 $\mu$Ccm-2 at the electric field of 200 kVcm-1.

Over the last few years, one of the most common purposes of smart homes is to provide human centric services in the domain of u-healthcare by analyzing inhabitants' daily living. Currently, the major challenges in activity recognition include the reliability of prediction of each classifier as they differ according to smart homes characteristics. Smart homes indicate variation in terms of performed activities, deployed sensors, environment settings, and inhabitants' characteristics. It is not possible that one classifier always performs better than all the other classifiers for every possible situation. This observation has motivated towards combining multiple classifiers to take advantage of their complementary performance for high accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, a method for activity recognition is proposed by optimizing the output of multiple classifiers with Genetic Algorithm (GA). Our proposed method combines the measurement level output of different classifiers for each activity class to make up the ensemble. For the evaluation of the proposed method, experiments are performed on three real datasets from CASAS smart home. The results show that our method systematically outperforms single classifier and traditional multiclass models. The significant improvement is achieved from 0.82 to 0.90 in the F-measures of recognized activities as compare to existing methods.

콜럼버스는 1492년 1차 대서양 항해시 '자신이 추정한 1일 항해거리를 줄여서 항해일지에 기록하였다. 그 동안 콜럼버스가 1차 항해 때 '항행거리(航程)를 조작했다'는 주장은 자연스러운 일로 받아들여져 왔다. 그러나 최근 이에 대한 새로운 해석이 제기되었다. 1983년 제임스 켈리가 '콜럼버스가 항해거리를 조작했다는 항정 조작설은 콜럼버스가 마일(mile)을 포르투갈 레구아(portugal $l\grave{e}gua$)로 전환하느라고 추산치를 5/6로 줄인 것을 콜럼버스의 항해일지 요약자인 라스 카사스($Bartolom\grave{e}$ de las Casas, 1484-1566)가 오해했다'고 주장하였고, 이를 1992년 필립스 부부가 지지하고, 2013년 주경철 교수가 국내에 소개하였다. 그러나 이는 선박과 항해에 대한 전문 지식의 결여에서 비롯된 오해다. 이 논문에서는 콜럼버스가 1차 항해시 항정을 조작한 것이 아니라 항해일지 요약자인 라스 카사스의 오해에서 비롯되었다는 제임스 켈리, 필립스 부부, 주경철 교수의 주장을 비판적으로 재검토해보고자 한다. 2에서는 항정 조작이 없었다는 켈리, 필립스, 주경철 교수의 주장을 요약하였고, 3에서는 항정 조작 여부를 검증하기 위해 콜럼버스의 1차 항해의 속력을 계산해 본 결과 3.81노트 내외로 추산되었다. 그리고 4에서는 콜럼버스가 항정을 조작할 수밖에 없었던 이유가 그의 대양 항해 경력이 일천했던 탓에 시간당 평균속력을 과대하게 빠르게 추산했기 때문이라는 견해를 제시하였다. 콜럼버스의 '항정 조작설'을 검토하는 것은 항해와 선박에 대한 올바른 이해 없이 전문분야사인 해양사를 연구했을 때 발생할 수 있는 오류를 보여주는 사례의 하나로서 우리들에게 시사해 주는 바가 적지 않을 것이다.

In the fields of civil engineering and seismology, it is essential to detect and tracking the vibrations, and the fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are typically used as sensors to measure vibrations. Where, one of the most popular and detailed approaches to use FBGs as vibration sensors involves the use of cantilever beam designs, which adds a mass to measure low and moderate frequencies (from 20 Hz up to 1 kHz) with high sensitivities (greater than 10 pm/g). The design consists of a bending strain in the cantilever that is simultaneously transferred to the FBG, resulting in a shift in the wavelength that is proportional to the strain experienced by the cantilever. In this work, we present the experimental results of a vibration sensor design using a cantilever beam to generate an axial uniform strain in the FBG in-line with the vertical axis, which modifies the cantilever's natural frequency that allows the sensor to have a wide frequency broadband without losing sensitivity. This sensor achieved a sensitivity of about 339 pm/g and a natural frequency of 227.3 Hz. The presented design compared with the traditional cantilever beam-based FBG vibration sensors, has the advantages of a simple design for detection on vibration-sensitive structures and its physical parameters can be easily modified in order to satisfy the requirements of the desired vibration measurements.

A monographic reassessment of Padina Adanson species from the Gulf of California was developed based on an exhaustive review of the character and characters states that have been used to delimit species in recent and historically valuable collections. Eight names (P. caulescens Thivy in Taylor, P. concrescens Thivy in Taylor, P. crispata Thivy in Taylor, P. durvillaei Bory Saint-Vincent, P. gymnospora [Kutzing] Sonder, P. mexicana Dawson, P. tetrastromatica Hauck and P. vickersiae Hoyt in Howe) were reported from the region. An analysis of 1,200 specimens led to the conclusion that only three species (P. durvillaei, P. concrescens and P. mexicana) can be recognized for the area based on four discriminating characters: presence of calcium carbonate in the cell wall; number of medullary cell layers in the basal area; number of medullary cell layers in the middle part and presence/absence of cortical cells. Comparative analysis of the species in the Gulf of California in relation to other recently evaluated species has shown a clear distinction among them suggesting Padina species were overestimated in our area.

As in any engineering application, the problem of structural assessment should face the different uncertainties present in real world. The main source of uncertainty in Health Monitoring System (HMS) applications are those related to the sensor accuracy, the theoretical models and the variability in structural parameters and applied loads. In present work, two methodologies have been developed to deal with these uncertainties in order to adopt reliable decisions related to the presence of damage. A simple example, a steel beam analysis, is considered in order to establish a liable comparison between them. Also, such methodologies are used with a developed structural assessment algorithm that consists in a direct and consistent comparison between sensor data and numerical model results, both affected by uncertainty. Such algorithm is applied to a simple concrete laboratory beam, tested till rupture, to show it feasibility and operational process. From these applications several conclusions are derived with a high value, regarding the final objective of the work, which is the implementation of this algorithm within a HMS, developed and applied into a prototype structure.

The development of structural solutions for high-speed or very high-speed tracks that minimize total life cycle costs of the system is a key issue to improve the operational profitability of new investments. In opposition to conventional ballasted tracks, slab track solutions can be a cost-effective solution, but only in the cases where the benefits due to the increase in track availability and the reduction of track maintenance offsets its much higher construction costs. In the cases where such investment is not feasible, it is worth to evaluate possible structural improvements to ballasted track that allow reducing its maintenance needs without increasing too much its construction costs. This paper evaluates the design requirements and the impact of improving conventional high-speed ballasted tracks by using a bituminous subballast layer. It is divided into two main parts: first the design requirements of the structural solutions with bituminous subballast and its possible benefits on high-speed track deterioration, and secondly the evaluation of the economic impact, in terms of construction costs, of using this structural solution material in future Spanish high-speed lines.
