  • Monitoring is the most important part of the construction and operation of the embankment dams. Applied instruments in these dams should be determined based on dam requirements and specifications. Instruments selection considered as one of the most important steps of monitoring plan. Competent instruments selection for dams is very important, as inappropriate selection causes irreparable loss in critical condition. Lack of a systematic method for determining instruments has been considered as a problem for creating an efficient selection. Nowadays, decision making methods have been used widely in different sciences for optimal determination and selection. In this study, the Multi-Attribute Decision Making is applied by considering 9 criteria and categorisation of 8 groups of geotechnical instruments. Therefore, the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Multi-Criteria Optimisation and Compromise Solution methods are employed in order to determine the attributes' importance weights and to prioritise of instruments for embankment dams, respectively. This framework was applied for a rock fill with clay core dam. The results indicated that group decision making optimizes the selection and prioritisation of monitoring instruments for embankment dams, and selected instruments are reliable based on the dam specifications.

  • Taguchi's parameter design is to determine optimal settings of design parameters of a product or a process such that the characteristics of a product exhibit small variabilities around their target values. His analysis of the problem has focused only on a single characteristic or response, but the quality of most products is seldom defined by a characteristic, and is rather the composite of a great number of characteristics which are often interrelated and nearly always measured in a variety of units. The critical problem in dealing with multiple characteristics is how to compromise the conflicts among the selected levels of the design parameters for each individual characteristic. In this paper, the EXTOPSIS Model using SN ratio which can be optimized by univariate technique is proposed and a parameter design procedure to achieve the optimal compromise among several different response variables is developed. Two existing case studies are solved by the proposed method and the results are compared with ones by the sum of SN ratios, the expected weighted loss, and the desirability function.

  • MODM (multiobjective decision-making) problem is very complex system for the analyst. The problem is more complex if the goals of each of the objective functions are expressed imprecisely. It requires suitable MODM method to deal with imprecisions. Therefore, we present a new interactive fuzzy decision making method for solving multiobjective nonlinear programming problems by assuming that the decision maker (DM) has imprecise goals that assume fuzzy linguistic variable for each of the objective functions. The imprecise goals of the DM are quantified by eliciting corresponding membership functions through the interactive with the DM out of six membership functions. After determining membership functions, in order to generate the compromise or satisficing solution which is .lambda.-pareto optimal, .lambda.-max problem is solved. The higher degree of membership is chosen to satisfy imprecise goals of all objective functions by combining the membership functions. Then, the values are the compromise or satisficing solution. On the basis of the proposed method, and interactive computer programming is written to implement man-machine interactive procedures. Our programming is a revised version of sequential unconstrained minimization technique. Finally, a numerical example illustrates various aspects of the results developed in this paper.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of husbands' personality types and coping styles on conflict on their satisfaction in marriage life. The results are as follows: First, a most important variable that influences husbands' marital satisfaction is their own coping styles on conflict such as integration and compromise. 'Demographic variables' such as 'education', 'duration of marriage', 'income' and 'personality types', 'extraversion' or 'introversion', came next in order. Second, husbands' marital satisfaction is affected with the strategies they employ in conflict situations. In particular, the strategies as 'integration' and 'compromise' proved to be effective in getting rid of conflicts in marriage life. Third, husbands' 'demographic variables' affect their marital satisfaction. Those who were educated more wealthily and better have a tendency to have fuller marital satisfaction. The longer they had been married, the less they appeared to be satisfied with their marriages. Fourth, husbands' marital satisfaction is closely related to whether they are extroversive or introversive. Extroversive husbands have more marital satisfaction.

  • We made a new sample design for intestinal parasitic infection survey in 2004. We used the 10% sample survey data of 2000 population and housing census as a survey population. Since the infection rates of intestinal parasitics are very low, we applied the relative risk and odds ratio instead of ordinary method such as t-test to study the characteristics from the 1997 survey data. In order to allocate samples to stratum, we used the compromise of Neyman allocation which is the average of three Neyman allocations. And also, we derive estimators and variance estimators of the estimators.

  • One of decision tree method is regression trees which are used to predict a continuous response. The general splitting criteria in tree growing are based on a compromise in the impurity between the left and the right child node. By picking or the more interesting subsets and ignoring the other, the proposed new splitting criteria in this paper do not split based on a compromise of child nodes anymore. The tree structure by the new criteria might be unbalanced but plausible. It can find a interesting subset as early as possible and express it by a simple clause. As a result, it is very interpretable by sacrificing a little bit of accuracy.

  • Nowadays, the constructions of dams are being issued by the public due to the preservation and protection of nature considered more important than development. These social phenomenon can not be evitable due to arguing the both attitudes, preservation and development of nature. However, There are possibilities to make an agreement with the compromise between the two sides. The common goals of the attitudes are concerning human beings and their life quality. In this atmosphere, the exhibition hall of dams is very important to lead the agreement of both groups because the spaces not only provide contents to compromise by showing positive factors of dams, but present condition of using water as natural resources. The purpose of this study is based on the effect of the applied media in an exhibition hall as presenting education and enlightenment factors. To examine the effect, this study categorizes the existing media by communication types firstly. Secondly, based on the categorization, existing media of each dam exhibition hall are analyzed by numerical way. Thirdly, the general characteristics of applied media are defined by integrating the spatial contents and media. The data from the study are effective to provide the basic data for following design works for the exhibition space.

  • Purpose : This study examined the factors influencing posttraumatic and conflict management styles for nursing performance in intensive care units (ICUs). Methods : In this study, 250 nurses from eight general hospitals in three cities participated. Structured self-report questionnaires were used to collect data on posttraumatic, conflict management styles, and nursing performance. Finally, the data were analyzed by SAS 9.3 program. Results : The mean of total sum scores was 31.29, and the high risk of posttraumatic symptoms was 61.2%. It was noted that nursing performance is significantly correlated with collaboration, compromise, accommodation styles, and intrusion. Collaboration styles (${\beta}=0.39$, p<.001) and hyperarousal (${\beta}=-0.22$, p=.050), ICU experience below 1 year (${\beta}=-0.21$, p=.027) and that of 5-10 years (${\beta}=-0.19$, p=.049), and compromise style (${\beta}=0.16$, p=.049) were found to be the factors influencing nursing performance with 35.9% explanatory power value of regression model. Conclusions : The results of the study reveal that conflict management styles, hyperarousal, and ICU experience are factors predicting the successful performance of ICUs. These findings emphasize the need of developing interventions to reduce stress symptoms and conflicts in ICUs.

  • It is important to assess vulnerability of network and information system to countermeasure against a variety of attack in effective and efficient way. But vulnerability and risk assessment methodology for network and information systems could not be directly applied to sensor networks because sensor networks have different properties compared to traditional network and information system. This paper proposes a vulnerability assessment framework for cluster based sensor networks. The vulnerability assessment for sensor networks is presented. Finally, the case study in cluster based sensor networks is described to show possibility of the framework.

  • 본 연구는 수자원계획 문제에서 다기준 의사결정기법을 적용할 때 발생할 수 있는 두 가지 문제에 대해 분석하였다. 첫 번째는 다기준 의사결정기법 선택의 차이가 결과에 어느 정도 영향을 미칠 수 있는지를 제시하였고 두 번째는 평가기준에 대한 가중치와 대안들의 평가치에 대한 불확실성을 최소화하기 위해 민감도 분석을 수행하는 절차를 제시하였다. 첫 번째 문제를 위해 가중합계법, Compromise Programming, 계층화분석과정, 수정된 계층화 분석과정, 가중곱방법, TOPSIS, ELECTRE-2, Regime 방법을 사용하였다. 또한 최근 사용빈도가 높은 삼각형 Fuzzy 숫자와 다기준 의사결정기법을 결합한 기법에 대해서도 분석하였는데 Fuzzy WSM, Fuzzy 계층화분석과정, Fuzzy 수정 계층화분석과정, Fuzzy TOPSIS, Fuzzy Compromise Programming을 검토하였다. 분석결과 평가기준에 대한 가중치 조건과 표준화 방법이 동일한 상황에도 불구하고 조금씩 다른 순위를 제시하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다양한 MCDM 기법들을 적용해도 동일한 순위로 나타나는 대안들이 있었다. 따라서 다기준 의사결정기법을 사용한 수자원 관리계획을 수립할 때에는 다양한 분석기법을 활용해서 기법의 선택으로 인한 불확실성을 최소화해야 한다. 두 번째 문제는 평가기준에 대한 가중치와 대안의 효과 정량화 자료의 불확실성을 극복하기 위해 각각에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 유량확보와 수질개선을 위한 수자원 계획 수립을 위해 가중합계법을 이용한 문제에 두 경우의 민감도 분석을 모두 수행하였다. 이 과정에서 결정계수와 민감도 계수를 산정하여 이용하였다. 본 연구는 향후 수자원 관리 및 계획 분야에서 다기준 의사결정기법을 적용할 때 사용될 수 있는 기초 가이드라인이 될 것이다.
