The purpose of this study was to understand experiences of successful aging of community-dwelling elderly living in the Korean community using mixed methods. This study is a mixed methods research using convergent parallel design. 483 elderly people living in the 2 cities were selected as subjects to collect quantitative data. For qualitative data collection, 6 elderly people participated. The level of successful aging for elderly people living at home scored an average of 4.30 ± .59 out of 5 points (4.46 ± .64 for self-efficacy, 4.31 ± .65 for good self-control, 4.29 ± .70 for satisfaction with children's success, and 4.26 ± .61 for partnership with spouses). The main themes of successful aging derived by interview were as follows: 1) fulfill responsibilities of raising children as parents, 2) establish a stable life to overcome difficulties, 3) accept the body being different from the past, and 4) live in harmony with people around them. Based on these results, it is necessary to provide useful health care services that can be used in the local community and to provide service utilization information through various routes in order to achieve a successful aging.

The construction of shield tunnelling in urban sites is facing serious risks from complex and changeable underground conditions. Construction problems in the sand-clay mixed ground have been more reported in recent decades for its poor control of soil loss in tunnel face, ground settlement and supporting pressure. Since the limitations of observation methods, the conventional physical modelling experiments normally simplify the tunnelling to a plane strain situation whose results are not reliable in mixed ground cases which exhibit more complicated responses. We propose a new method for the study of the mixed ground tunnel through which mixed lays are simulated with transparent soil surrogates exhibiting different mechanical properties. An experimental framework for the transparent soil modelling of the mixed ground tunnel was established incorporated with the self-developed digital image correlation system (PhotoInfor). To understand better the response of face stability, ground deformation, settlement and supporting phenomenon to tunnelling excavation in the sand-clay mixed ground, a series of case studies were carried out comparing the results from cases subjected to different buried depths and mixed phenomenon. The results indicate that the deformation mode, settlement and supporting phenomenon vary with the mixed phenomenon and buried depth. Moreover, a stratigraphic effect exists that the ground movement around mixed face reveals a notable difference.

센서노드를 활용한 응용이 증가함에 따라 센서네트워크의 장기적 운용과 성능을 보장할 수 있는 현실적 배치 문제 해결 기법이 요구되고 있다. 특히 네트워크 연결성은 네트워크 전체 수명에도 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 근거리 센싱 정보의 취합 능력에도 직접적인 연관성을 갖는다. 센서네트워크의 구축 시 요구되는 경제적인 이유와 함께 센서 노드가 배치될 필드의 접근성 문제로 임의 배치 기법이 주로 사용되고 있으나 센서노드의 불균일로 인한 연결성 문제, 비효율적 네트워크 구성 등이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초기 배치 노드의 성능을 최대한 활용할 수 있도록 거점 노드의 혼합 배치 기법을 제안한다. 혼합 배치를 통해 기존 센서 노드의 불균형을 완화시키면서 추가되는 혼합 노드의 수를 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 밀도 분석을 시행하였다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안하는 기법이 단일 센서노드로 구성된 기존의 배치 방식 보다 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

In this study, intermediate-mixed powders were prepared by loading zirconia powders initially in a ball-mill jar and loading alumina powders afterward; the initial-mixed powders were produced by loading zirconia and alumina powders together in the ball-mill jar. The effect of such differences in mixing method on the mechanical properties was investigated. In intermediate-mixed powders, the volume fraction of large particles slightly increased and, simultaneously, zirconia particles formed agglomerates that, due to early ball-mill loading of the zirconia powders only, were more dispersed than were the initial-mixed powders. For the intermediate-mixed powders, zirconia agglomerates were destroyed more quickly than were initial-mixed powders, so the number of dispersed zirconia particles rose and the inhibitory effect of densification due to the addition of a second phase was more obvious. In the microstructure of intermediate-mixed powders, zirconia grains were homogeneously dispersed and grain growth by coalescence was found to occur with increasing sintering temperature. For the initial-mixed powders, large zirconia grains formed by localized early-densification on the inside contacts of some zirconia agglomerates were observed in the early stages of sintering. The intermediate-mixed powders had slightly lower hardness values as a whole but higher fracture toughness compared to that of the initial-mixed powders.

Microbial growth kinetics is often used to optimize environmental processes owing to its relation to the breakdown of substrate (contaminants). However, the quantification of bacterial populations in the environment is difficult owing to the challenges of monitoring a specific bacterial population within a diverse microbial community. Conventional methods are unable to detect and quantify the growth of individual strains separately in the mixed culture reactor. This work describes a novel quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based genomic approach to quantify each species in mixed culture and interpret its growth kinetics in the mixed system. Batch experiments were performed for both single and dual cultures of Pseudomonas putida and Escherichia coli K12 to obtain Monod kinetic parameters (μ_max and K_s). The growth curves and kinetics obtained by conventional methods (i.e., dry weight measurement and absorbance reading) were compared with that obtained by qPCR assay. We anticipate that the adoption of this qPCR-based genomic assay can contribute significantly to traditional microbial kinetics, modeling practice, and the operation of bioreactors, where handling of complex mixed cultures is required.

본 논문은 문학비평에서 사용되는 파라텍스트라는 개념을 통해 모바일 혼합현실 기술의 가치와 의미, 속성을 새롭게 조명한다. 물리적 장소가 메인텍스트이자 고정된 체계인 '랑그(langue)'라면 일반 사용자들이 현장에 남기는 참여적 저작과 시공간적 흔적과 발화는 '빠롤(parole)'에 해당하며, 이들이 혼합된 모바일 혼합현실 스토리텔링을 파라텍스트로 보았다. 이에 대한 구현 가능한 방법과 미적 변용의 실험 및 응용들을 제시함으로써 모바일 혼합현실 공간의 파라텍스트 개념을 구체화했다.

지난 수십 년 동안 유전형 기술(genotyping technology)의 발달로 개인별 유전자 정보를 얻기 위해 필요한 비용이 감소함에 따라, 다양한 인간 질병의 원인 유전자를 규명하기 위한 많은 유전역학 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 예를 들어 전장유전체관련분석(genome-wide association studies)은 수백 개에 이르는 표현형(phenotypes)에 대하여 수천 개에 이르는 원인유전자를 규명하였다. 유전체 자료의 홍수로 인하여 대규모 유전체 자료를 분석할 수 있는 다양한 분석 알고리즘에 개발되었으며, 특별히 선형혼합모형은 유전율의 추정부터 관련분석(association studies)에 이르기까지 유전역학 연구에서 광범위하게 활용되고 방법론이었다. 본 논문에서는 유전역학 연구에 있어 빈번하게 활용되는 선형혼합모형의 활용 사례를 나열하고, 각 분석 모형 별 추정치들의 생물학적 의미를 논하고자 한다.

The purposes of this study were (a) to compare the level of sense of community and community activity of the mixed-use residential buildings' residents with the expected residents for the mixed-use residential building, (b) and to investigate the degree of their needs of social interaction. For the survey the questionnaire from 176 residents of mixes-use residential building in Seoul, and 67 expected residents in Bundang Newtown are used. The analytical methods adopted in this study were frequency, percentage, chi-square test and t-test. It was found that the level of sense of community and the community activities of the mixed-use residential building' residents were higher than those of the expected residents. Their residents reported higher degree of participation on community activities than the expected residents. It was also found that the common space in their residential area promoted the residents' sense of community and community activity.

Disturbance observer(DOB) based controller design is one of the most popular methods in the field of motion control. In this paper, a generalized disturbance compensation framework, called as robust internal-loop compensator(RIC) is introduced and an advanced design method of DOB is proposed based on the RIC. Mixed sensitivity optimization problem, which is the main issue of DOB design, is solved through the parameterization of DOB in the RIC framework. Different from conventional methods, Q-filter is separated in the mixed sensitivity optimization problem and the systematic design law for the DOB is proposed. This guarantees the robustness and optimality of the DOB and also enables the design for unstable plants.

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of equilibrium problems, known as regularized mixed quasi equilibrium problems. We use the auxiliary principle technique to suggest and analyze some iterative schemes for regularized equilibrium problems. We prove that the convergence of these iterative methods requires either pseudomonotonicity or partially relaxed strongly monotonicity. Our proofs of convergence are very simple. As special cases, we obtain earlier results for solving equilibrium problems and variational inequalities involving the convex sets.
