A spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of anionic and nonionic surfactant based on the application of multivariate calibration method such as principal component regression(PCR) and partial least squares(PLS) has been studied. The calibration models in PCR and PLS were obtained from the spectral data in the range of 400~700 nm for each standard of a calibration set of 26 standards, each containing different amounts of two surfactants. The relative standard error of prediction(RSEP$_{\alpha}$) was obtained to assess the model goodness in quantifying each analyte in a 5 validation samples which containing different amounts of two surfactants.

We propose an effective methodology using electromechanical impedance characteristics for estimating the remaining tensile force of tendons and simultaneously detecting damages of the anchorage blocks. Once one piezoelectric patch is attached on the anchor head and the other is bonded on the bearing plate, impedance responses are measured through these two patches under varying tensile force conditions. Then statistical indices are calculated from the impedances, and two types of relationship curves between the tensile force and the statistical index (TE Curve) and between statistical indices of two patches (SR Curve) are established. Those are considered as database for monitoring both the tendon and the anchorage system. If damage exists on the bearing plate, the statistical index of patch on the bearing plate would be out of bounds of the SR curve and damage can be detected. A change in the statistical index by damage is calibrated with the SR curve, and the tensile force can be estimated with the corrected index and the TE Curve. For validation of the developed methodology, experimental studies are performed on the scaled model of an anchorage system that is simplified only with 3 solid wedges, a 3-hole anchor head, and a bearing plate. Then, the methodology is applied to a real scale anchorage system that has 19 strands, wedges, an anchor head, a bearing plate, and a steel duct. It is observed that the proposed scheme gives quite accurate estimation of the remaining tensile forces. Therefore, this methodology has great potential for practical use to evaluate the remaining tensile forces and damage status in the post-tensioned structural members.

This study proposes an algorithm for predicting breast cancer prognosis based on genetic network. We identify prognosis-specific network using gene expression data and PPI(protein-protein interaction) data. To acquire the network, we calculate Pearson's correlation coefficient(PCC) between genes in all PPI pairs using gene expression data. We develop a prediction model for breast cancer patients with estrogen-receptor-negative using the network as a classifier. We compare classification performance of our algorithm with existing algorithms on independent data and shows our algorithm is improved. In addition, we make an functionality analysis on the genes in the prognosis-specific network using GO(Gene Ontology) enrichment validation.

최근 들어 이상 강우 현상으로 인한 기록적인 집중 강우와 더불어 토지 이용 변화로 인해 탁수의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 강우 유출로 유입한 탁수는 저수지 내 장기간 체류하면서 하류 하천의 수질 및 수생태계 뿐만 아니라 저수지 내부의 영양단계에도 많은 영향을 준다. 특히, 성층화된 저수지의 경우 높은 영양염류 농도를 포함한 탁수는 밀도류 거동 특성을 보이면서 수평 및 수직 혼합 과정을 거치면서 국부적인 부영양화 현상과 조류의 수화 현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서 대형 저수지의 수질관리에 있어 하천 유입 탁수의 밀도류 해석, 저수지의 수온 성층 구조 변화, 부유입자의 동력학적 해석이 중요한 요소로 부각되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 소양호를 연구 대상 지역으로 선정하여 2005년과 2007년 수문 사상을 바탕으로 2차원 횡방향 수치 모형을 구축하였다. 수치모형을 통해 수온 성층 구조의 재현성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 탁수 거동 모형을 구축하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 유입수의 SS(Suspended Solid)를 단일 입경으로 가정한 TM-1 모형, SS의 입경분포에 따라 3개의 그룹(SSi)으로 구분한 TM-2 모형, 3개 그룹을 포함하면서 저수지내 탁수 장기화로 인한 탁수 저감 효과를 1차 반응상수로 매개 변수화(유기물 함량($a_0$) ${\times}$ 분해속도(${\lambda}_a$))하여 수정된 지배방정식을 적용한 TM-3 모형을 사용하였다. 각각의 탁수 거동 모형은 2005년과 2007년 수문 조건에서 수온 성층 구조를 잘 재현하였다. TM-1 모형과 TM-2 모형을 비교해보면, 탁수 중심축의 최고 탁도에 대한 예측 성능은 TM-2 모형이 우수한 결과를 나타냈었다. 하지만, 장기 탁수 모의 시 저수지 수중 잔류 SS가 지속적으로 높게 나타나 중층 탁도를 과대평가하는 경향을 보였다. TM-3 모형이 TM-2 모형에 비해 수심별 탁도 분포에 대한 중심축 탁도가 저평가되는 경향을 보였지만 저수지 내 잔류 탁도에 대한 영향 부분에서는 개선된 결과를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과는 저수지 탁수 밀도류 해석 및 운영 시스템에 활용 될 수 있으며, 선택 취수 설비 등의 수리 구조물의 영향 평가에 활용할 수 있다.

Many sea accidents such as collisions and groundings of vessels were occurred due to the lack of sufficient manoeuvring capability of vessels. Therefore IMO adopted 'The interim standards of ship manoeuvrability by Resolution A.751(18)' and the standards have been applied to vessels of 100m or more in length and all chemical tankers and gas carriers regardless qf the length, which were constructed on or after 1 July 1994. The IMO manoeuvrability standards are divided into three kinds as bellows; (1) Turning capability standards : Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by turning circle test of the actual vessel. (2) Course keeping quality standards : Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by $10^{\circ}\;and\;20^{\circ}$ Zig-Zag tests of the actual vessel. (3) Shortest stopping distance standards : Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by the shortest stopping distance tested by the actual vessel. In this paper, the authors computed the values of the manoeuvring standards of several vessels from their original design and compared them with those results from experiments of the model ships and also examined the values and concluded about the validity of IMO manoeuvrability standards.

Rapid and high-precision positioning with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is feasible only when very precise carrier-phase observations can be used. There are two kinds of mathematical models for ambiguity resolution. The first one is based on both pseudorange and carrier phase measurements, and the observation equations are of full rank. The second one is only based on carrier phase measurement, which is a rank-defect model. Though the former is more commonly used, the latter has its own advantage, that is, ambiguity resolution will be freed from the effects of pseudorange multipath. Galileo will be operational. One of the important differences between Galileo and current GPS is that Galileo will provide signals in four frequency bands. With more carrier-phase data available, frequency combinations with long equivalent wavelength can be formed, so Galileo will provide more opportunities for fast and reliable ambiguity resolution than current GPS. This paper tries to investigate phase only fast ambiguity resolution performance with four Galileo frequencies for short baseline. Cascading Ambiguity Resolution (CAR) method with selected optimal frequency combinations and LAMBDA method are used and compared. To validate the resolution, two tests are used and compared. The first one is a ratio test. The second one is lower bound success-rate test. The simulation test results show that, with LAMBDA method, whether with ratio test or lower bound success rate validation criteria, ambiguity can be fixed in several seconds, 8 seconds at most even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 12 mm. While with CAR method, at least about half minute is required even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 3 mm. It shows that LAMBDA method performs obviously better than CAR method.

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, much research has been conducted to predict defects in early phase. And defect prediction models have been proposed to predict defects. But the generality of the models has not been experimentally studied for other software system. In other words, most of prediction models were applied only to the same system that had been used to build the prediction models themselves. Therefore, we performed an experiment to explore generality of major prediction models. In the experiment, we applied three defects prediction models to three different systems. As a result, we cannot find their generality of defect prediction capability. The cause is analyzed to result from a different metric distribution between the systems.

Droplet vaporization at various ambient pressures is studied numerically by formulating one dimensional evaporation model in the mixture of hydrocarbon fuel and air. The ambient pressure ranged from atmospheric conditions to the supercritical conditions. The modified Soave-Redlich-Kwong state equation is used to account for the real gas effects in the high pressure condition. Non-ideal thermodynamic and transport properties at near critical and supercritical conditions are considered. Some computational results are compared with Sato's experimental data for the validation of calculations. The comparison between predictions and experiments showed quite a good agreement. The droplet lifetime increases with increasing pressure at temperature lower than the critical temperature, however, it decreases with increasing pressure at temperature higher than the critical temperature. The solubility of nitrogen can not be neglected in the high pressure and it becomes higher as the temperature and the pressure go up.

The selection of meaningful clinical tests and its reference values from a high-dimensional clinical data with imbalanced class distribution, one class is represented by a large number of examples while the other is represented by only a few, is an important issue for differential diagnosis between similar diseases, but difficult. For this purpose, this study introduces methods based on the concepts of both discernibility matrix and function in rough set theory (RST) with two discretization approaches, equal width and frequency discretization. Here these discretization approaches are used to define the reference values for clinical tests, and the discernibility matrix and function are used to extract a subset of significant clinical tests from the translated nominal attribute values. To show its applicability in the differential diagnosis problem, we have applied it to extract the significant clinical tests and its reference values between normal (N = 351) and abnormal group (N = 101) with either cholecystitis or cholelithiasis disease. In addition, we investigated not only the selected significant clinical tests and the variations of its reference values, but also the average predictive accuracies on four evaluation criteria, i.e., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and geometric mean, during l0-fold cross validation. From the experimental results, we confirmed that two discretization approaches based rough set approximation methods with relative frequency give better results than those with absolute frequency, in the evaluation criteria (i.e., average geometric mean). Thus it shows that the prediction model using relative frequency can be used effectively in classification and prediction problems of the clinical data with imbalanced class distribution.

Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive clinical test useful for screening benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) common in the aged men. The current standard way to obtain the urinary flow rate is to continuously acquire the urine weight signal proportional to volume over time. The present study proposed an alternative technique measuring pressure to overcome noise problems present in the standard weight measuring technique. Experiments were performed to simultaneously acquire both weight and pressure changes during urination of 9 normal men. Noise components were separated from volume signals converted from both weight and pressure signals based on the polynomial signal model. Signal-to-noise ratio was defined as the ratio of the energies between signal and noise components of the measured volume changes, which was 8.5 times larger in the pressure measuring technique, implying that cleaner signal could be obtained, more immune to noisy environments. When four important diagnostic parameters were estimated, excellent correlation coefficients higher than 0.99 were resulted with mean relative errors less than 5%. Therefore, the present pressure measurement seemed valid as an alternative technique for uroflowmetry.
