The present study focuses on the application of artificial neural network (ANN) and Multiple linear Regression (MLR) analysis for developing a model to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and split tensile strength (STS) of the fiber reinforced clay stabilized with grass ash, fly ash and lime. Unconfined compressive strength and Split tensile strength are the nonlinear functions and becomes difficult for developing a predicting model. Artificial neural networks are the efficient tools for predicting models possessing non linearity and are used in the present study along with regression analysis for predicting both UCS and STS. The data required for the model was obtained by systematic experiments performed on only Kaolin clay, clay mixed with varying percentages of fly ash, grass ash, polypropylene fibers and lime as between 10-20%, 1-4%, 0-1.5% and 0-8% respectively. Further, the optimum values of the various stabilizing materials were determined from the experiments. The effect of stabilization is observed by performing compaction tests, split tensile tests and unconfined compression tests. ANN models are trained using the inputs and targets obtained from the experiments. Performance of ANN and Regression analysis is checked with statistical error of correlation coefficient (R) and both the methods predict the UCS and STS values quite well; but it is observed that ANN can predict both the values of UCS as well as STS simultaneously whereas MLR predicts the values separately. It is also observed that only STS values can be predicted efficiently by MLR.

The core strategy of transit oriented development (TOD) is to promote high density mixed land use around railway stations. Case studies in advanced countries show that provision of policies for comprehensive maintenance of pedestrian facilities around railway station spheres is being pursued with efficacy. In spite of the importance placed on integrated pedestrian maintenance, domestic construction of integrated pedestrian infrastructure around railway station spheres lacks direction. Thus, there is a clear need for an evaluation standard that can provide the foundation for judgments on TOD improvement. This research proposes a network model that consolidates the interior of the station as well as its surrounding areas to determine the ease of pedestrian flow for effective TOD evaluation. The model considers the railway station and surrounding areas as an assembled network of pedestrian flow. The path chosen by the pedestrian is defined as the optimal degree of inconvenience, and expands on Wardrop's User Equilibrium (1952). To assess the various circumstances that arise on pedestrian facilities including congestion of the pedestrian pathway, constrained elevator capacity, and wait at the crosswalk, a variational inequality based pedestrian equilibrium distribution model is introduced.

Introduction and application of virtual education has been rapidly increased in these days. A variation of information communication technology has an effect on education in interconnect with network as internet in the world that exceed the limit of time and regional. Computer and network communication technology through the medium of internet make an entrance cyber education as a new education paradigm. It must be affective on learner who have various educational characteristics and requirements. It begins to appear quality, quantity improvements of knowledge and the development of information technology that web based cyber education. This study was conducted to develop the web based education program and to evaluate the effectiveness of learning satisfaction and accomplishment and to compare the cyber lecture system with the traditional lecture system During the second semester of 2001, this study was investigated 317 registered students in a "Food and Culture" class at Kyungwon University. The data were obtained from pre and post-study with self-administered questionnaire. The evaluation and satisfaction score of students who were registered in cyberclass was negative tendency to compare pre with post-test scores, because of insuffciency of computer-aided lecture system. The major problem was inconvenient in checking system for connecting times in cyberclass which was one of evaluation point in final score. Another problem was frequently disconnection during cyber studying and not to concentrate each time in the cyber lecture because of eye fatigue, boring due to less interesting contents than other newly developed web-site. The students was prefer to mix type of the cyber and traditional lecture type class. The result of final score an each class, the score of cyber class (71.36 $\pm$ 22.44) was significantly lower than other groups (mixed type : 76.66 $\pm$ 19.99, traditional type :79.17 $\pm$ 15.72) (p < 0.05). Cyber class was attempted to present a useful and interesting teaching and learning tool which can be applied successfully in a longer term. The result suggest that various teaching and learning strategies should be developed considering the fact that the student learn alone most in time.t in time.

The quality of the buckwheat bread made with previously heated ($55^{\circ}C$) and cooled buckwheat flour 0dough with the addition of ascorbic acid(AA) or/and sodium stearoyl lactylate(SSL) was evaluated . With heat treatemtn , handling property of dough and grain of the bread crumb were markedly improved and stickiness of the dough decreased . The optimum resting time to produce the best loaf volume and grain was found to be 3hr for both unheated and heated doughs. Heat treated dough showed higher dough expansion rate during fermentation than unheated dough, even though heated dough had lower loaf volume, probably because of an improper oven spring. Increase in shortening of dough formula from 3% to 5% improved loaf volume without improvement of handling property. With the addition of 100 ppm AA or/and 0.5% SSL, loaf volume and crumb grain were improved for both unheated and heated doughs.Microscopic analysis of a mixed dough by scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that heated dough had a continuous network whereas unheated dough was discontinuous. The addition of AA and SSL gave the dough a more continuous network whereas unheated dough was discontinuous . The addition of AA and SSL gave the dough a more continuous structure with strengthened strands or interactions between the starch granule and protein. Therefore, it appears that the presence of continuity in heated buckwheat breadwheat bread dough is related to the improved loaf volume and crumb grain without dough stickness.

GIS-based applications for route guidance are increasingly developed recently, but most of them are for self$.$driven cars. Although some of them are intended for public transportation, they show limitations in dealing with time constraints problems taken place in transfer areas. Developing a public transportation guidance system requires the fallowing aspects: (i) people may change transportation means not only within the same type but also among different modes such as between buses and subways, and (ii) the system should take into account the time taken in transfer from one mode to the other. This study suggests the framework for developing a public transportation guidance system that generates optimized paths in the transportation network of mixed means including buses, subways and other modes. For this study, the Genetic Algorithms are used to find the best routes that take into account transfer time and other service-time constraints. The method for constructing the data structure in the GIS was also suggested.

In recent years, various Social Network Service (SNS) is emerging as a new means of communication were enjoying a lot of popularity among consumers. Accordingly, an online word-of-mouth marketing through the SNS is prevalent. At this moment, the majority of companies selects the SNS used as resources of online word-of-mouth marketing on the assumption that the more a SNS is popular (followers or visitors based), the more it has an influence. In addition, the existing studies about the popularity or influence on the SNS were not distinguish them separately. The former researchers used popularity mixed with Influence. Therefore, this study, we have conducted a survey with people in their twentieswho use SNS most to do an empirical analysis of the relationship between popularity and Influence on the SNS. According to the results of this study, it has a weak correlation between popularity and Influence. So, it is necessary to distinguish between popularity and influence.

In this paper, we proposed a method for effective classification of eye, nose, and mouth of human face. Most recent image classification uses Convolutional Neural Network(CNN). However, the features extracted by CNN are not sufficient and the classification effect is not too high. We proposed a new algorithm to improve the classification effect. The proposed method can be roughly divided into three parts. First, the Haar feature extraction algorithm is used to construct the eye, nose, and mouth dataset of face. The second, the model extracts CNN features of image using AlexNet. Finally, Haar-CNN features are extracted by performing convolution after Haar feature extraction. After that, CNN features and Haar-CNN features are fused and classify images using softmax. Recognition rate using mixed features could be increased about 4% than CNN feature. Experiments have demonstrated the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Object recognition, detection and instance segmentation based on DL (Deep Learning) have being used in various practices, and mainly optical images are used as training data for DL models. The major objective of this paper is object segmentation and building detection by utilizing multimodal datasets as well as optical images for training Detectron2 model that is one of the improved R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Network). For the implementation, infrared aerial images, LiDAR data, and edges from the images, and Haralick features, that are representing statistical texture information, from LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data were generated. The performance of the DL models depends on not only on the amount and characteristics of the training data, but also on the fusion method especially for the multimodal data. The results of segmenting objects and detecting buildings by applying hybrid fusion - which is a mixed method of early fusion and late fusion - results in a 32.65% improvement in building detection rate compared to training by optical image only. The experiments demonstrated complementary effect of the training multimodal data having unique characteristics and fusion strategy.

Routing security is related to the confidentiality of the route taken by the data transmitted over the network. If the route is detected by the adversary, the probability is higher that the data are lost or the data can be intercepted by the adversary. Therefore, the route must be protected. To accomplish this, we select an intermediate node secretly and transmit the data using this intermediate node, instead of sending the data to the destination node using the shortest path. Furthermore, if we use a number of secret routes from the starting node to the destination node, data security is much stronger since we can transmit partial data rather than the entire data along a secret route. In this paper, the routing algorithm for multiple secret paths on MRNS(Mixed Radix Number System) Network, which requires O(1) for the time complexity where is the number of links on a node, is presented employing the HCLS(Hamiltonian Circuit Latin Square) and is analyzed in terms of entropy.

Online learning systems are becoming an effective educational medium for many universities. The accessibility of online learning system in universities means that every student, including the visually impaired, is able use all the site's services. This research focuses on investigating the accessibility of online learning systems for visually impaired users. The paper purpose is to understand the perception of visually impaired undergraduate students towards Blackboard's accessibility and to make recommendations for a new Blackboard design with accessible features that support their needs. Impact of a new Blackboard design with accessible features on visually impaired students, using Taif University students as a case study is evaluated in this paper, as it is similar to most learning systems used by Saudi universities. A study on Taif University's utilization of Blackboard was conducted using mixed method approaches (an automatic tool and a user study). In the first phase, Taif's use of Blackboard was evaluated by the web accessibility tool called AChecker. In the second phase, we conducted a user study to verify previously discovered accessibility challenges to fully assess them according to the accessibility and usability guidelines. In this study, the accessibility of Taif University's Blackboard was evaluated by thirteen visually impaired undergraduate students. The results of the study show that Blackboard has accessibility issues, which are confusing navigation, incompatibility with assistive technologies, untitled pages or parts, unclear identification for visual elements, and inaccessible PDF files. This paper also introduces a set of recommendations that aim to improve the accessibility of Blackboard and other educational websites developed for this population. It also highlights the serious need for universities to enhance web accessibility for online learning systems for students with disabilities.
