One of the typical methods to design a codebook is K-means algorithm. This algorithm has the drawbacks that converges to a locally optimal codebook and its performance is mainly decided by an initial codebook. D. Lee's method is almost same as the K-means algorithm except for a modification of a distance value. Those methods have a fixed distance value during all iterations. After many iterations. because the distance between new codevectors and old codevectors is much shorter than the distance in the early stage of iterations, the new codevectors are not affected by distance value. But new codevectors decided in the early stage of learning iterations are much affected by distance value. Therefore it is not appropriate to fix the distance value during all iterations. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm using each different distance value between codevectors for a limited iterations in the early stage of learning iteration. In the experiment, the result show that the proposed method can design better codebooks than the conventional K-means algorithms.

The role of cost modeller is to facilitate the design process by systematic application of cost factors so as to maintain a sensible and economic relationship between cost, quantity, utility and appearance which thus helps in achieving the client's requirements within an agreed budget. There are a number of research on cost estimates in the early design stage based on the improvement of accuracy or impact factors. It is common knowledge that cost estimates are undertaken progressively throughout the design stage and make use of the information that is available at each phase, through the related research up to now. In addition, Cost estimates in the early design stage shall analyze the information under the various kinds of precondition before reaching the more developed design because a design can be modified and changed in all process depending on clients' requirements. Parametric cost estimating models have been adopted to support decision making in a changeable environment, in the early design stage. These models are using a similar instance or a pattern of historical case to be constituted in project information, geographic design features, relevant data to quantity or cost, etc. OLAP technique analyzes a subject data by multi-dimensional points of view; it supports query, analysis, comparison of required information by diverse queries. OLAP's data structure matches well with multiview-analysis framework. Accordingly, this study implements multi-dimensional information system for case based quantity data related to design information that is utilizing OLAP's technology, and then analyzes impact factors of quantity by the design criteria or parameter of the same meaning. On the basis of given factors examined above, this study will generate the rules on quantity measure and produce resemblance class using clustering of data mining. These sorts of knowledge-base consist of a set of classified data as group patterns, of which will be appropriate stand on the parametric cost estimating method.

국내 건설산업은 급격한 시장변화와 경쟁심화의 과정을 겪으면서 프로젝트 초기 단계의 예산 집행 및 관리의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 설계 완료 이후의 단계에서 조정 가능한 비용은 20%에 불과하기 때문에, 프로젝트 초기 단계에서 중요한 의사결정이 이루어진다. 하지만 초기 단계에서의 의사결정은 설계정보가 확정되지 않고, 정보가 한정되는 등 불확실성 하에서 이루어진다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 프로젝트 초기 단계의 정확한 비용 예측을 목적으로 parametric method를 사용하여 공사비 예측 방법을 제안하였다. Parametric method를 이용한 공사비 예측 방법은 프로젝트 초기단계에 사용하기에 적합하며, 특히 신속하게 공사비 예측을 할 수 있다는 장점을 지닌다. 국내 아파트 9개 단지 $11{\sim}15$층 규모의 총 84개동 공공아파트 실적자료를 분석하여 공사비와 영향요인간 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 다중공선성 문제를 야기하는 변수를 제거한 후, 다중회귀분석을 통하여 공사비 예측 관계식을 도출하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare musculoskeletal pain, menopausal symptoms and depression by women's menopausal stage. Method: With a survey design, a convenience sample of 203 women between age of 40 to 64 was recruited through a community. Data were collected via a structured study questionnaire from May to July, 2008. Measures included with symptom severity list for menopausal symptoms, Aches and Pains scale, and Beck's Depression Inventory. Results: Thirty-seven percent of women belong to early peri-menopausal stage, 31% to late peri-menopausal stage, and 32% to postmenopausal stage. By group comparison, late peri-menopausal and post menopausal women reported higher scores of depression than early peri-menopausal women. Postmenopausal women had greater scores in two pain subscales (bodily pain and pain that interferes with normal work) and two menopausal symptoms subscales (sleep pattern and sexual behaviors) than early peri-menopausal women. There were moderate levels of positive relationships among study variables at each menopausal stage. Conclusion: Postmenopausal women seem to have greater musculoskeletal pain and menopausal symptoms, and have depression more than did early peri-menopausal women. Tailored nursing strategies are required to reduce these kinds of common symptoms for women with menopausal transition to improve their physical and psychological wellbeing.

This study aims at giving the framework to estimate the environmental load at planning and schematic phase. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, the effort to reduce the environmental impacts caused by human activity has been increasingly enlarged. So far most of researches estimating CO₂ emissions have analyzed energy consumption based on BOQ (Bills of Quantity) acquired after detailed design. There is also lack of reliability in the estimated environmental impact using the basic unit of a facility at the planning stage, because it uses a limited specific section of historical data. Thus, this study is targeted at developing framework to assess reliable environmental loads based on information available at project early phases by making case-bases from historical design information on PSC Beam Bridge. Historical database is built on the basis of the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and in order to set input information for estimating model, the literature about information in an early project phase are reviewed. Using the information available in the planning and schematic design stage, the Framework is presented to estimate the environmental load in an early stage in the project. Developing an environmental load estimation model in accordance with the Framework presented in this study, it is expected that the environmental load in the initial project phase can be estimated more quickly and accurately.

A nano-imprinting stage has been widely used in various fields of nanotechnology. In this study, an analysis method of a nano-imprinting stage machine using FEM and flexible multi-body kinematics and dynamics has been presented. We have developed a virtual imprinting machine to evaluate the prototype design in the early design stage. The simulation using CAE for the imprinting machine is not only to analyze static and dynamic characteristics of the machine but also to determine design parameters of the components for the imprinting machine, such as dimensions and specifications of actuators and sensors. Structural components as the upper plate, the rotator, the shaft and the translator have been modeled with finite elements to analyze flexibility effects during the precision stage motion. In this paper flexible multi-body dynamic simulation is executed to support robust design of the precision stage mechanism. In addition, we made the 4-axis stage model to compare the dynamic behavior with that of 3-axis stage model.
