Recent developments in fractal theory suggest that fractal may provide a more realistic representation of characteristics of cementitious materials. In this paper, the roughness of fracture surfaces in cementitious material has been characterized by fractal theory. A systematic experimental investigation was carried out to examine the dependency of fracture parameters on the aggregate sizes as well as the loading rates. Three maximum aggregate sizes (4.76 mm, 12.7 mm, and 19.1 mm) and two loading rates (slow and fast loading rate) were used. A total of 25 compression tests and 25 tension tests were performed. All fracture parameters exhibited an increase, to varying degrees, when aggregates were added to the mortar matrix. The fracture surfaces of the specimens were digitized and analyzed. Results of the fractal analysis suggested that concrete fracture surfaces exhibit fractal characteristics, and the fractal geometry provide a useful tool for characterizing nonlinear fracture behavior of concrete. Fractal dimension D was monotonically increased as maximum aggregate sizes increase. A new fractal fracture model was developed which considers the size and shape of aggregate, and the crack paths in the constituent phases. Detailed analyses were given for four different types of fracture paths. The fractal fracture model can estimate fractal dimension for multiphase composites.

This study was conducted to investigate the applicability of true model theory in a powered lugged wheel-soil system and to examine the possibility of using principles of similitude in investigating the dimensions of soil parameters pertinent to a powered lugged wheel-soil system concerning the sinkage prediction. The following conclusions were derived from the study; 1) The sinkage of prototype wheels proved to be predicted by those of the model wheels for the range of the dynamic weight tested. 2) A conditional equation which can be used for the prediction of sinkage of prototype by model test was derived as $n_f=n{_\ell}{^{-b}}$. The range of the numerical value of b, which is the exponent on the length dimension of the soil property ${\alpha}$, was found to be -1.48~-2.54. 3) Considering a relatively wide variation of b values, it was concluded that there are several soil properties which are pertinent to the powered lugged-wheel soil system concerning the sinkage prediction.

The purpose of this article is to problematize the existence of a possible Ibero-American informational thinking. It was initially observed that a relative absence of Ibero-America in the international presentations and mappings of information science exists. Below, the reality of the 22 countries that compose Ibero-America is discussed, a region that can be understood from a sociocultural and geopolitical perspective. Then, a mapping of the information science research in these countries is made. The main research topics found are: epistemological studies, relationships with library science, information literacy, representation and organization, bibliometric studies, information management, user studies, technological dimensions, and relationships with archival science and museum studies. Finally, a general epistemological configuration of information science is presented at a global level, highlighting the great trends of study of information that marked the decades of the 1960s and 1970s (physical model), 1980s and 1990s (cognitive model), and the 21st century (sociocultural model), and which manifested themselves in the different subareas that make up the field. The most recent research in information science, in addition to addressing information transfer (physical dimension) and its relationship with data and knowledge (cognitive dimension), has also incorporated aspects related to the social effects of information, its role in the constitution of identities and culture, and the importance of its material conformations. Such expansion reflects attempts to address the complexity of informational phenomena. Therefore, it is concluded that it is important to place the specific contributions of Ibero-America in this context.

This paper presents a new model for the strap combined footings to obtain the most economical contact surface on the soil (optimal dimensioning) to support an axial load and moment in two directions to each column. The new model considers the soil real pressure, i.e., the pressure varies linearly. Research presented in this paper shows that can be applied to the T-shaped combined footings and the rectangular combined footings. The classical model uses the technique of test and error, i.e., a dimension is proposed, and subsequently, the equation of the biaxial bending is used to obtain the stresses acting on each vertex of the strap combined footing, which must meet the conditions following: The minimum stress should be equal or greater than zero, and maximum stress must be equal or less than the allowable capacity that can withstand the soil. Numerical examples are presented to obtain the optimal area of the contact surface on the soil for the strap combined footings subjected to an axial load and moments in two directions applied to each column. Appendix shows the Tables 4 and 5 for the strap combined footings, the Table 6 for the T-shaped combined footings, and the Table 7 for the rectangular combined footings.

본 연구는 낙엽송 개체목의 가공처리 과정에서 생산되는 제재목 및 제재 부산물의 양을 분석하기 위한 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하고자 수행되었다. 이 모델에서는 수간곡선 추정식을 이용하여 개체목의 전간재적을 산출하고 절동된 원목에 대한 목재 가공 시뮬레이션을 통해 판재 및 각재, 원주목의 규격에 따른 최대 생산가능량을 예측하였다. 또한 제재목 가공처리 과정에서 생산되는 톱밥 및 죽데기의 잔존재적에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 흉고직경 12 cm 이상부터 제재목의 생산이 가능한 것으로 나타났고, 제재목의 생산이 가능한 경우에는 보다 큰 규격의 판재와 각재를 생산하는 것이 상대적으로 작은 규격의 판재와 각재 혹은 원주목을 생산하는 것에 비해 더 많은 생산량을 얻을 수 있었다. 향후 이 모델은 낙엽송의 이용재적 산출을 통한 산림의 경제적 가치평가는 물론, 최근 목질계 바이오에너지 자원으로서 그 중요성이 점차 높아지고 있는 톱밥과 같은 제재 부산물의 양을 예측하는 데에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

엔터프라이즈 정보화를 추진하는데 있어서 가장 심각한 문제 중 하나는 서로 연계 통합되지 않은 사일로(Silo) 시스템 문제이다. 정보전략계획(Information Strategy Planning)은 비즈니스에 필요한 개별시스템 기능성 도출에 국한되어 오히려 이러한 사일로 문제를 가중시키고 있다. 본 연구는 엔터프라이즈 사일로 문제가 엔터프라이즈 제반 요소들이 가지는 관계에 대한 총체적 시각, 곧 '아키텍처적 시각'이 부재하기 때문이라고 보고, 이러한 엔터프라이즈 요소간 관계를 정의하고 체계화할 수 있는 '엔터프라이즈 아키텍처 지향 모델'을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 엔터프라이즈 제반 구성요소들 상호간에 수직적, 수평적 관계성을 부여하고 엔터프라이즈가 이들 관계에 있어서 거치는 진화의 단계를 설정한다. 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처 지향 모델에서 수직적 관계는 Kaplan과 Norton의 연구로부터 도출된 성과, 역량, 전략이라는 세 요소가 조직 상하간에 전략적 관리적 측면에서 '연계(Alignment)'되어야 함을 의미한다. 수평적 관계는 Ross 등이 통합 대상으로 다룬 정보기술, 데이터/프로세스, 비즈니스 컴포넌트 요소들이 수평 조직간에 기능적 실행적 측면에서 '통합(Integration)'되어야 함을 강조한다. 본 모델은 엔터프라이즈의 현재와 미래 아키텍처를 사상하는 개념공간으로서 엔터프라이즈의 현재 모습을 파악하고 엔터프라이즈가 지향하는 미래 모습을 도출하며 현재에서 미래로의 이행을 인도하는 개념적 틀로서 작용하게 된다. 끝으로 본 모델의 적용 사례를 들고 모델의 적용이 각 엔터프라이즈가 지향하는 엔터프라이즈 모습에 따라 어떻게 달라질 수 있는지를 논의한다.

In this paper we consider the proportional hazard models for survival analysis in the microarray data. For a given vector of response values and gene expressions (covariates), we address the issue of how to reduce the dimension by selecting the significant genes. In our approach, rather than fixing the number of selected genes, we will assign a prior distribution to this number. To implement our methodology, we use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method.

The previous quantitative bankruptcy prediction models cannot include time dimension. To overcome this limit, various dynamic models using survival analysis are developed recently. This paper emphasizes that the proportionality assumption must be adapted with caution when the Cox's proportional hazard model is used to explain bankruptcy. It is shown that a non-proportional hazard model including a change point model is a proper alternative, when the proportionality assumption is violated by the change of macroeconomic environment, such as the financial crisis in 1997.
