순서적 다항 반응변수의 경우 종종 과도하게 많은 수의 관측치가 0 범주에서 발생하는 영 과잉 특성을 지닌다. 이러한 영 과잉 자료에서 0범주를 발생시키는 요인이 여러 개 존재할 때 일반적인 순서적 프로빗 모형은 자료를 설명함에 있어서 한계를 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 영 과잉 특성을 반영한 이 단계 영 과잉 순서적 프로빗 모형의 베이지안 분석기법을 제시하고 이를 2008년도 통계청에서 조사한 한국인의 음주소비 자료에 적용시킨다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 음주소비가 하나도 없다고 답한 0 범주에 속하는 비음주자들을 신념 또는 영구적 건강상의 문제 등으로 상황에 관계없이 음주를 하지 않는 절대적 비음주자(genuine non-drinker, non-participant)와 현재 소비가 없지만 상황에 따라 음주자가 될 가능성이 있는 잠재적 음주자(zero consumption potential drinker)로 구분하는 프로빗 모형을 적용시켜 분석한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 잠재적 음주자와 1 이상의 범주에 속하는 실제적 음주자를 합하여 음주자 집단으로 보고 이에 대하여 순서적 프로빗 모형을 적용하여 분석한다. 분석결과, 비음주자 중 약 30%가 절대적 비음주자로 음주자료가 일반적 순서적 자료에 비하여 뚜렷한 영 과잉 특성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 각 변수의 한계효과를 분석함으로써 같은 설명변수가 절대적 비음주자와 잠재적 음주자에 미치는 영향이 서로 반대로 나타날 수 있음을 발견하였고, 따라서 한국인의 음주자료에 대하여 제안된 영 과잉 순서적 프로빗 모형이 유용함을 보여주었다.

건전성 예측은 구조물의 고장이 발생될 때까지 남은 시간인 잔존유효수명을 예측하는 것으로, 이는 안전 및 정비 계획과 직접적으로 연관되기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 건전성 예측방법에는 물리모델 기반방법, 데이터 기반방법과 두 방법의 장점을 통합하는 방법이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 잔존수명 예측의 정확도가 모델변수 추정과 직접적으로 관련되는 물리모델 기반 건전성 예측에 초점을 맞춘다. 물리모델기반 건전성 예측에서는 모델변수 추정을 통해 시스템 상태의 장기 예측이 가능하지만, 대부분의 실제 구조물들의 상태모델은 여러 개의 모델변수를 포함함은 물론이고, 그 변수들이 서로 상관되어 있기 때문에 모델변수를 추정하는 일은 간단한 문제가 아니다. 본 연구에서는 물리모델 기반 건전성 예측을 위한 세 가지 변수 추정방법들의 차이를 논한다. 이 세 가지 방법들은 파티클 필터, 전반적인 베이지안 접근법, 그리고 순차적인 베이지안 접근법으로 모두 베이지안 추론이라는 하나의 이론적 바탕에 기반하지만, 샘플링 방법이나 갱신 절차 등에서 차이가 있다. 균열성장을 표현하는 Paris 모델의 변수 추정을 통해 세 가지 방법의 차이점이 논해지고, 건전성 예측 메트릭을 이용하여 정량적 차이를 표현한다. 파티클 필터방법이 건전성 예측 메트릭 측면에서 가장 높은 성능을 나타내었지만, 전반적인 베이지안 방법은 파티클 필터방법과 근소한 차이를 보이면서도 데이터가 집단으로 존재할 때에는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 나타났다.

Current methods for evaluating unsignalized intersections, and estimating level-of-service (LOS) is determined from efficiency-based criteria such as little or no delay to very long delays. At present, similar procedures to evaluate intersections using safety-based criteria do not exist. The improvement of sight distances at intersections is the most effective way of improving intersection safety. However, a set of procedures is necessary to account for the limitations in current methodology. Such an approach would build upon such methods, but also account for: deficiencies in the current deterministic solution for the determination of intersection sight distances; opportunity for an accident and severity of an accident; and cost-effectiveness of attaining various levels of sight distances. In this research, a model that estimates the degree of safety at two-way stop-controlled intersections is described. Only crossing maneuvers are considered in this study because accidents caused by the crossing maneuvers are the dominate type among intersection accidents. Monte Carlo methods are used to estimate the hazard at an intersection as a function of roadway features and traffic conditions. Driver`s minimum gap acceptance in the crossing vehicles and headway distribution on the major road are used in the crossing vehicles and headway distribution on the major road are used in the model to simulate the real intersectional maneuvers. Other random variables addressed in the model are: traffic speeds; preception-reaction times of both drivers in the crossing vehicles and drivers in oncoming vehicles on the major road; and vehicles on the major roads. The developed model produces the total number of conflicts per year per vehicle and total potential kinetic energy per year per vehicle dissipated during conflicts as measurements of safety at intersections. Based on the results from the developed simulation model, desirable sight distances for various speeds were determined as 350 feet, 450 feet and 550 feet for 40 mph, 50 mph and 60 mph prevailing speed on the major road, respectively. These values are seven to eight percent less than those values recommended by AASHTO. A safety based level-of-service (LOS) is also developed using the results of the simulation model. When the total number of conflicts per vehicle is less than 0.05 at an intersection, the LOS of the intersection is `A' and when the total number of conflicts per vehicle is larger than 0.25 at an intersection, the LOS is `F'. Similarly, when the total hazard per vehicle is less than 350, 000 1b-ft2/sec2, the LOS is `F'. Once evaluation of the current safety at the intersection is complete, a sensitivity analysis can be done by changing one or more input parameters. This will estimate the benefit in terms of time and budget of hazard reduction based upon improving geometric and traffic characteristics at the intersection. This method will also enable traffic engineers in local governments to generate a priority list of intersection improvement projects.

최근 관람객의 반응에 따라 실시간으로 대응하여 관객의 몰입과 만족도를 증대시키는 인터랙티브 전시 서비스에 대한 학계와 산업계의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 인터랙티브 전시 서비스를 효과적으로 구현하기 위해서는 관객의 반응을 통해 해당 관객이 느끼는 감정 상태를 추정할 수 있는 지능형 기술의 도입이 요구된다. 인간의 감정 상태를 추정하기 위한 시도들은 많은 연구들에서 이루어져 왔고, 그 중 대부분은 사람의 얼굴 표정이나 소리 반응을 통해 감정 상태를 추정하는 방식을 도입하고 있다. 하지만, 최근 소개되고 있는 연구들에 따르면 단일 반응이 아닌 여러 반응을 종합적으로 고려하는 이른바 멀티 모달(multimodal) 접근을 사용했을 경우, 인간의 감정 상태를 보다 정확하게 추정할 수 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 키넥트 센서를 통해 측정되는 관객의 얼굴 표정, 몸짓, 움직임 등을 종합적으로 고려한 새로운 멀티모달 감정 상태 추정 모형을 제안하고 있다. 제안모형의 예측 기법으로는 방대한 양의 데이터를 효과적으로 처리하기 위해, 몬테칼로(Monte Carlo) 방법인 계층화 샘플링(stratified sampling) 방법에 기반한 다중회귀분석을 적용하였다. 제안 모형의 성능을 검증하기 위해, 15명의 피실험자로부터 274개의 독립 및 종속변수들로 구성된 602,599건의 관측 데이터를 수집하여 여기에 제안 모형을 적용해 보았다. 그 결과 10~15% 이내의 평균오차 범위 내에서 피실험자의 쾌/불쾌도(valence) 및 각성도(arousal) 상태를 정확하게 추정할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 본 연구의 제안 모형은 비교적 구현이 간단하면서도 안정성이 높아, 향후 지능형 전시 서비스 및 기타 원격학습이나 광고 분야 등에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We report that the novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are capable of reversibly providing an extremely high uptake capacity of carbon dioxide and hydrogen at room temperature. These COFs are designed based on the multiscale simulations approach via the combination of ab initio calculations and force-field calculations. For this goal, we explore the adsorption sites of carbon dioxide and hydrogen on COFs, their porosity, as well as carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms. We identify the binding sites and energies of $CO_2$ on COFs using ab initio calculations and obtain the carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms using grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo calculations. Moreover, the calculated adsorption isotherms are compared with the experimental values in order to build the reference model in describing the interactions between the $CO_2/H_2$ and the COFs and in predicting the $CO_2$ and $H_2$ adsorption isotherms of COFs. Finally, we design three new COFs, 2D COF-05, 3D COF-05 (ctn), and 3D COF-05 (bor), for the high capacity $CO_2/H_2$ and $H_2$ storage.

OBJECTIVES : This study develops an evaluation method, which is useful to inspect pavement condition of specific boroughs. This is because pavement condition is broadly divided into five grades via visual inspection, which does not consider the types of deteriorations, and is decided by an investigator having a subjective viewpoint. This visual inspection method is not a satisfactory method for accurate maintenance when various deteriorations occur. METHODS : The performance model considers several factors such as crack, rutting, and IRI. This method is also modified from borough SPI based on SPI (Seoul Pavement Index). Considering limited budget of borough, PI (prediction index) is suggested, which is related to the grade of pavement condition evaluation and type of materials. Practical correlation review is also conducted with statistical verification by using the Monte Carlo simulation. RESULTS : The results of the study show that modified criteria are reasonable. First, the comparison between the visual inspection result and the SPI result indicates that the R-square value is sufficiently high. Second, through the common section, each evaluation method could be compared, and the result shows considerable similarity, which increases when the range is modified. Finally, PI for predicting remaining life and the random number SPI have common parts, which means that each indicator would be adequate to be used as an evaluation method. CONCLUSIONS : Comparison and analysis results show that the developed evaluation method is reasonable for specific boroughs where financial support is inadequate for the evaluation process by using the newer equipment. Moreover, for more accurate evaluation method, previous visual inspection data should be utilized, and the database of inspection equipment have to be collected.

For proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) technology, the accuracy of the dose distribution in a patient is sensitive to the properties of the incident beam. However, mechanical deformation of the proton therapy facility may occur, and this could be an important factor affecting the proton dose distribution in patients. In this paper, we investigated the effect of deformation on an SC200 proton facility's beam isocenter properties. First, mechanical deformation of the PBS nozzle, L-shape plate, and gantry were simulated using a Finite Element code, ANSYS. Then, the impact of the mechanical deformation on the beam's isocenter properties was evaluated using empirical formulas. In addition, we considered the simplest case that could affect the properties of the incident beam (i.e. if only the bending magnet (BG3) has an error in its mounting alignment), and the effect of the beam optics offset on the isocenter characteristics was evaluated. The results showed that the deformation of the beam position in the X and Y direction was less than 0.27 mm, which meets the structural design requirements. Compared to the mechanical deformation of the L-shape plate, the deformation of the gantry had more influence on the beam's isocenter properties. When the error in the mounting alignment of the BG3 is equal to or more than 0.3 mm, the beam deformation at the isocenter exceeds the maximum accepted deformation limits. Generally speaking, for the current design of the SC200 scanning beam delivery system, the effects of mechanical deformation meet the maximum accepted beam deformation limits. In order to further study the effect of the incident beam optics on the isocenter properties, a fine-scale Monte Carlo model including factors relating to the PBS nozzle and the BG3 should be developed in future research.

In a previous study, a set of polygon-mesh (PM)-based skin models including a $50-{\mu}m-thick$ radiosensitive target layer were constructed and used to calculate skin dose coefficients (DCs) for idealized external beams of electrons. The results showed that the calculated skin DCs were significantly different from the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 116 skin DCs calculated using voxel-type ICRP reference phantoms that do not include the thin target layer. The difference was as large as 7,700 times for electron energies less than 1 MeV, which raises a significant issue that should be addressed subsequently. In the present study, therefore, as an extension of the initial, previous study, skin DCs for three other particles (photons, protons, and helium ions) were calculated by using the PM-based skin models and the calculated values were compared with the ICRP-116 skin DCs. The analysis of our results showed that for the photon exposures, the calculated values were generally in good agreement with the ICRP-116 values. For the charged particles, by contrast, there was a significant difference between the PM-model-calculated skin DCs and the ICRP-116 values. Specifically, the ICRP-116 skin DCs were smaller than those calculated by the PM models-which is to say that they were under-estimated-by up to ~16 times for both protons and helium ions. These differences in skin dose also significantly affected the calculation of the effective dose (E) values, which is reasonable, considering that the skin dose is the major factor determining effective dose calculation for charged particles. The results of the current study generally show that the ICRP-116 DCs for skin dose and effective dose are not reliable for charged particles.

Salmonellosis caused by chicken consumption has been a critical issue in food safety worldwide, including in Korea. The probability of illness from consumption of chicken was simulated in study, based on the recipe of Dakgalbi, a commonly eaten chicken dish in Korea. Additionally, the processing stage at slaughterhouses to decrease Salmonella concentration in broilers was modeled to explore its effect on the likelihood of illness. A Monte Carlo simulation model was created using @RISK. Prevalence of Salmonella in chickens at the retail stage was found to be predominantly important in determining the probability of illness. Other than the prevalence, cooking temperature was found to have the largest impact on the probability of illness. The results also demonstrated that, although chlorination is a powerful tool for decreasing the Salmonella concentration in chicken, this effect did not last long and was negated by the following stages. This study analyzes the effects of variables of the retail-to-table pathway on the likelihood of salmonellosis in broiler consumption, and also evaluates the processing step used to decrease the contamination level of Salmonella in broilers at slaughterhouses. According to the results, we suggest that methods to decrease the contamination level of Salmonella such as chlorination had little effect on decreasing the probability of illness. Overall, these results suggest that preventing contamination of broiler with Salmonella must be a top priority and that methods to reduce the concentration of Salmonella in broilers at slaughterhouses hardly contribute to safe consumption of Salmonella-contaminated chicken.
