Phenotypic characterization and body biometric in 13 traits (height at withers, body length, chest girth, paunch girth, ear length, tail length, length of tail up to switch, face length, face width, horn length, circumference of horn at base, distances between pin bone and hip bone) were recorded in 233 adult Gojri buffaloes from Punjab and Himachal Pradesh states of India. Traits were analysed by using varimax rotated principal component analysis (PCA) with Kaiser Normalization to explain body conformation. PCA revealed four components which explained about 70.9% of the total variation. First component described the general body conformation and explained 31.5% of total variation. It was represented by significant positive high loading of height at wither, body length, heart girth, face length and face width. The communality ranged from 0.83 (hip bone distance) to 0.45 (horn length) and unique factors ranged from 0.16 to 0.55 for all these 13 different biometric traits. Present study suggests that first principal component can be used in the evaluation and comparison of body conformation in buffaloes and thus provides an opportunity to distinguish between early and late maturing to adult, based on a small group of biometric traits to explain body conformation in adult buffaloes.

소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트는 성공률이 30% 밖에 되지 않는 어려운 과제이다. 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트가 실패하는 이유는 여러 가지가 있을 수 있으나, 체계적인 관리 소홀이 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 특히, 완성도가 떨어지는 산출물을 다음 단계로 진행시키는 것은 많은 시간과 노력을 허비하여 프로젝트를 실패로 이끌 수 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 채택되고 있는 방식은 동료 검토(Peer Review) 또는 인스펙션(Inspection) 등과 같은 산출물들에 대한 검토활동이다. 문제가 발견된 산출물들은 다시 개발자에게 돌아가서 수정하게 되는데, 이 과정을 재작업 (Rework)이라고 한다. 프로젝트 관리자가 완성도가 떨어지는 산출물들을 다음 단계로 넘겨서 오류에 대한 막대한 비용을 지출하고 기간을 지연시키는 등의 사고를 막기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 재작업의 충실도를 높일 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 즉 프로젝트의 재작업 시에 작업분석을 시행함으로써 재작업된 결과의 검토 수준을 달리하는 재작업지표를 개발하였고, 이에 대한 검증을 위해 4개의 프로젝트를 선택하여 개발된 지표의 적용 여부를 관찰하고 그 효율성을 입증하였다.

The HPM (High-speed Power Matching) system is an electro-hydraulic control system. It directly controls the swash plate of the pump by selecting four-loop logic based on joystick signals, pump flow, and pressure signal to improve the efficiency and controllability of construction machines. In the NFC (Negative Flow Control) system, a typical pump control system using conventional open center type MCV, the loss is continuously generated by flow through the center bypass line even when the excavator is not in operation. Also, due to the slow response of the pump that indirectly controls the flow rate using the pressure regulator, peak pressure occurs at the start or stop of the operation. Conversely, the HPM system uses an MCV without center-by-pass flow path and the swash plate of a pump for the HPM is controlled by a high-speed proportional flow control valve. As a result, the HPM system minimizes energy loss in standby state of the excavator and enables peak pressure control through rapid electro-hydraulic control of a pump. In this paper, the concept of the HPM system algorithm is introduced and the hydraulic system efficiency is compared with the NFC system using the excavator SAT (System Analysis Tool).

It is difficult to observe the potential risks of lifting or turn-over operations in the early stages before a real operation. Therefore, many dynamic simulations have been designed to predict the risks and to reduce the possibility of accidents. These simulations, however, have usually been performed for predetermined and fixed scenarios, so they do not reflect the real-time control of an operator that is one of the most important influential factors in an operation; additionally, lifting or turn-over operations should be a collaboration involving more than two operators. Therefore, this study presents an integrated method for a collaborative simulation that allows multiple workers to operate together in the virtual world. The proposed method is composed of four components. The first component is a dynamic analysis that is based on multibody-system dynamics. The second component is VR (virtual reality) for the generation of realistic views for the operators. The third component comprises the control devices and the scenario generator to handle the crane in the virtual environment. Lastly, the fourth component is the HLA (high-level architecture)-based integrated simulation interface for the convenient and efficient exchange of the data through the middleware. To show the applicability of the proposed method, it has been applied to a block turn-over simulation for which one floating crane and two crawler cranes were used, and an offshore module installation for which a DCR (dual-crane rig) was used. In conclusion, the execution of the proposed method of this study is successful regarding the above two applications for which multiple workers were involved.

강원도(江原道) 점봉산(點鳳山) 일대 중생혼효림(中生混淆林)의 식생(植生)에 대하여 Classification과 Ordination을 병행 사용한 분석법을 시도하였다. 조사 삼림내의 70개 표본구에 나타난 8종(種)의 목본식물(木本植物)의 수도(數度)를 바탕으로, Classification기법(技) 중의 하나인 Cluster 분석에 의하여 다섯 식생군(植生群)이 분류(分類)되었으며, 각 식생군(植生群) 별로 수종(樹種) 다양성(多樣性)도 비교 검토되었다. Cluster 분석이 분류한 식생군(植生群)별 교목(喬木) 수종(樹種)의 중요치(重要値)를 매개변수(媒介變數)로 하여 Principal component analysis (PCA) 한 결과로써 각 식생군별 수종(樹種) 구성(構成) 상태(狀態)의 유사성(類似性)을 비교할 수 있었다. 단풍나무, 물푸레나무, 신갈나무 그리고 고로쇠나무의 eigenvector 즉, 식생군이 ordination된 좌표(座標) 위치를 결정하는 인자(因子) 부가율(附加率)이 높게 나타남으로써, 본 연구대상 삼림(森林)에서는 이들 네가지 수종(樹種)의 분포(分布)가 삼림군의(森林群義) 분류(分類)의 핵심이라 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the water quality and phytoplankton community in Bukhan River which account for 44.4 % of the total inflow into Lake Paldang, using multivariate statistical techniques (i.e., correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA)/factor analysis (FA)). Water samples were collected from March to November 2015 and the following parameters measured; water temperature, pH, DO, EC, SS, BOD, Chl-a, COD, TN, $NO_3-N$, $NH_3-N$, TP, DTP, $PO_4-P$, and phytoplankton community. The water quality of the main stream and the tributaries were not significantly different apart from the relatively high concentration of BOD, COD and nutrients recorded in MH. The highest cell density of Stephanodiscus hantzschii and Merismopedia glauca dominated phytoplankton was observed in PD. Based on the correlation analysis, total phytoplankton and cyanophyceae were highly correlated with BOD, COD and nutrients. PCA/FA resulted in four main factors accounting for 82.240 % of the total variance in the water quality dataset. The group of component 1 (TN, DTN, DO, $NO_3-N$, water temperature) and component 2 ($PO_4-P$, T-P, DTP, SS) were classified as nutrient element factor whereas component 3 (Chl-a, COD, BOD, $NH_3-N$, pH) was related to organic substances. Hence, the identification of the main potential environmental pollution factors in Bukhan River will help policy makers make better and more informed decisions on how to improve the water quality.

The evaluation of dynamic characteristics of bridges under operational traffic loads is a crucial aspect of bridge structural health monitoring. In the vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) system, the vibration responses of bridge exhibit time-varying characteristics. To address this issue, an accurate time-frequency analysis method that combines the autoregressive power spectrum based empirical wavelet transform (AR-EWT) and local maximum synchrosqueezing transform (LMSST) is proposed to identify the time-varying instantaneous frequencies (IFs) of the bridge in the VBI system. The AR-EWT method decomposes the vibration response of the bridge into mono-component signals. Then, LMSST is employed to identify the IFs of each mono-component signal. The AR-EWT combined with the LMSST method (AR-EWT+LMSST) can resolve the problem that LMSST cannot effectively identify the multi-component signals with weak amplitude components. The proposed AR-EWT+LMSST method is compared with some advanced time-frequency analysis techniques such as synchrosqueezing transform (SST), synchroextracting transform (SET), and LMSST. The results demonstrate that the proposed AR-EWT+LMSST method can improve the accuracy of identified IFs. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method are validated through a multi-component signal, a VBI numerical model with a four-degree-of-freedom half-car, and a VBI model experiment. The effect of vehicle characteristics, vehicle speed, and road surface roughness on the identified IFs of bridge are investigated.

Volunteerism is an emerging issue in public resource management such as forest recreation management. As volunteers, forest interpreters play a significant role in supporting and educating visitors to forest recreation areas. The purpose of this study was to examine forest interpreters' motivation and their job satisfaction. To collect data, a set of self-administered questionnaire was sent to 250 members of Chungbuk Forest Interpreters' Association during August and September of 2005. 152 completed questionnaires were returned. Principal component factor analyses yield five motivation factors and four satisfaction factors. All the factors were highly correlated.

Dermal injectables are the most popular material for facial enhancement, including volumizing and wrinkle correction. However, although hyaluronic acid is the most common component of dermal injectables, the character of hyaluronic acid products is quite variable. These materials can be described in terms of their viscoelastic properties using four parameters. In this article, the author would like to describe these properties in detail. Although many physicians consider this material to be convoluted, thoroughly understanding the characteristics of various injectables enables us to tailor procedures accordingly and to enhance the final results.

In additive nonparametric regression, Linton and Nielsen (1995) showed that the marginal integration when applied to the local linear smoother produces a rate-optimal estimator of each univariate component function for the case where the dimension of the predictor is two. In this paper we give new formulas for the bias and variance of the marginal integration regression estimators which are valid for boundary areas as well as fixed interior points, and show the local linear marginal integration estimator is in fact rate-optimal when the dimension of the predictor is less than or equal to four. We extend the results to the case of the local polynomial smoother, too.
