In this article, a four-variable refined plate theory is presented for buckling analysis of functionally graded plates subjected to uniform, linear and non-linear temperature rises across the thickness direction. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factor. Young's modulus and Poisson ratio of the FGM plates are assumed to remain constant throughout the entire plate. However, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the FGM plate varies according to a power law form through the thickness coordinate. Equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the present theory. The influences of many plate parameters on buckling temperature difference such ratio of thermal expansion, aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio and gradient index will be investigated.

대용량의 DNA 정보 저장, DNA 서열 저작권 보호를 위한 DNA 워터마킹, 및 비밀 통신을 위한 DNA 스테가노그라픽에 대한 관심이 증대되면서, 원본 DNA 서열의 기능 유지와 복원이 가능한 가역성 DNA 워터마킹이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 비부호영역 DNA 서열을 이용한 DE(Difference expansion) 기반 가역 DNA 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 가역 DNA 워터마킹에서는 생물학적 기능 변경이 없고, 문자 형태의 서열 내에 대용량의 데이터를 은닉하여야 하며, 원본 DNA 서열이 복원되어야 한다. 제안한 방법에서는 문자 서열을 십진수 형태의 수치계수로 변환한 다음, 인접 수치 계수 쌍의 DE 기반 다중비트 은닉 방법(DE-MBE, DE based multiple bits embedding)과 이전 은닉 수치계수를 예측으로 한 연속 DE 기반 다중비트 은닉 방법들(C-DE-MBE, consecutive DE based multiple bits embedding)에 의하여 워터마크가 은닉된다. 은닉 과정에서는 워터마크된 서열에 의하여 부호영역을 나타내는 허위 시작코돈 발생을 방지하기 위하여 비교 탐색을 수행한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 방법이 기존 방법에 비하여 높은 은닉 용량을 가지며, 허위 시작코돈이 발생되지 않으며, 기준 서열없이 원본 DNA 서열이 복원됨을 확인하였다.

In order to improve the embedding rate of reversible watermarking algorithm for digital image and enhance the imperceptibility of the watermarked image, an adaptive reversible image watermarking algorithm based on DE is proposed. By analyzing the traditional DE algorithm and the generalized DE algorithm, an improved difference expansion algorithm is proposed. Through the analysis of image texture features, the improved algorithm is used for embedding and extracting the watermark. At the same time, in order to improve the embedding capacity and visual quality, the improved algorithm is optimized in this paper. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can not only achieve the blind extraction, but also significantly heighten the embedded capacity and non-perception. Moreover, compared with similar algorithms, it is easy to implement, and the quality of the watermarked images is high.

Experimental isotherm compressive tests show that concrete behaviour is dependent on temperature. The aim of such tests is to reproduce how concrete will behave under environmental changes within a moderate range of temperature. In this paper, a novel constitutive elastic damage behaviour law is proposed based on a free energy with an apparent damage depending on temperature. The proposed constitutive behaviour leads to classical theory of thermo-elasticity at small strains. Fixed elastic mechanical characteristics and fixed evolution law of damage independent of temperature and the material volume element size are considered. This approach is applied to compressive tests. The model predicts compressive strength and secant modulus of elasticity decrease as temperature increases. A power scaling law is assumed for specific entropy as function of the specimen size which leads to a volume size effect on the stress-strain compressive behaviour. The proposed model reproduces theoretical and experimental results from literature for tempertaures ranging between $20^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$. The effect of the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the mortar and coarse aggregates is also considered which gives a better agreement with FIB recommendations. It is shown that this effect is of a second order in the considered moderate range of temperature.

일반적으로 워터마킹은 오디오, 비디오, 이미지, 그리고 텍스트 등의 콘텐트의 저작권을 위해서 사용되고 있다. 인터넷의 발달로 어플리케이션과 연동되는 관계형 데이터베이스는 악의적인 공격자들에 의한 데이터베이스 복제, 유출등이 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 따라서 데이터베이스의 저작권보호 역시 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 또한 데이터베이스에는 민감한 개인정보에서 산업기밀 정보까지 다양한 정보고 포함되어 있다. 따라서 관계형 데이터베이스의 보호는 데이터베이스 분야에서 매우 중요한 연구 영역이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관계형 데이터를 보호할 수 있는 다양한 방안의 기존의 연구를 살펴보고, 이들 데이터를 보호할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 가역적인 방법으로 데이터베이스에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 실험결과 제안한 기술은 악의적인 공격에 강함을 보였다. 또한, 제안한 방법이 실제 어플리케이션에 적용 가능함을 보였다.

Currently, the pin-by-pin homogenized solvers are a very active research field as they can, unlike the nodal codes, directly predict the local power, while requiring significantly less computational resources than the heterogeneous transport codes. This paper presents a recently developed pin-by-pin diffusion/SP3 solver Tortin, its spatial discretization method and the reflector treatment. Regarding the spatial discretization, it was observed that the finite difference method applied on pin-cell size mesh does not properly capture the big flux change between MOX and uranium fuel, while the nodal expansion method is more accurate but too slow. If the finite difference method is used with a finer mesh in the outer two pin rows of the fuel assembly, it increases the required computation time by only 50%, but decreases the pin power errors below 1% with respect to lattice code reference solutions. The paper further describes the coupling of Tortin with a microscopic depletion solver. Several verification tests show that the SP3 pin-by-pin solver can reproduce the heterogeneous transport solvers results with very good accuracy, even for fuel cycle depletion of very heterogeneous core employing MOX fuel or inserted control rods, while being two orders of magnitude faster.

This paper attempts to analyze the early retirement in the OECD countries and discuss implication of that in the old age policy in Korea. The increase of the early retirement in the almost all OECD countries is a common fact. Especially the rate of early retirement rapidly increased in the 1980s, mostly reflecting the high rate of unemployment and states' policies to reduce it. However, it varies across countries: the unemployment compensation pathway in France, the mixture of social assistance and private insurance in England, VUT in Netherland, the privatization of the early retirement in the U. S., and partial retirement and labor market policy in Sweden. The early retirement in the advanced countries contributes to de-institutionalization and de-standardization in life course model. It resulted in the erosion of the ordinary conception that the retirement was the beginning of the old age. And the last phase of life course became blurred. With respect to the problem of the early retirement, there is a big difference between Korea and the OECD countries. Above all, the retirement age is 55 years in many companies and the public pension is not universalized in Korea. Accordingly the policy for income security of the old age in Korea should be connected with social security policy such as the gradual extension of the retirement age and the expansion of the public pension and labor market policy such as job training for the old age, transformation of the seniority wage system etc.

The purpose of this comparative study is to compare and evaluate international arbitration and forum selection agreements. Recent decades have seen an unparalleled expansion of global trade and investment. Business enterprises of every description ann find themselves entangled in legal proceedings with foreign companies or government entities. Thus, the costs of these proceedings and the consequences of losing are often substantial. Almost, every international commercial controversy poses a critical preliminary question - 'where, and by whom, will this dispute be decided?' the answer to this question often decisively affects a dispute's eventual outcome. It can mean the difference between winning and losing. between de minimis damages and a multimillion dollar award. The same dispute can have materially different outcomes in different forums. Because of the importance of forum selection, parties to international contracts often include contractual dispute resolution provisions in their agreements. These provisions significantly reduce the uncertainties inherent in international commercial disputes, and can offer a substantial measure of partisan advantage. as a consequence, it is almost always advisable to include a contractual dispute resolution provision in any international contract. These provisions typically take the form of : (1) forum selection clauses, or (2) arbitration agreements.
