Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method is based on dual-frequency data of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The recent multi-constellations GNSS (multi-GNSS) enable us to bring great opportunities for enhanced precise positioning, navigation, and timing. In the paper, the multi-GNSS PPP with a combination of four systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) is analyzed to evaluate the improvement on positioning accuracy and convergence time. GNSS observations obtained from DAEJ reference station in South Korea are processed with both the multi-GNSS PPP and the GPS-only PPP. The performance of multi-GNSS PPP is not dramatically improved when compared to that of GPS only PPP. Its performance could be affected by the orbit errors of BeiDou geostationary satellites. However, multi-GNSS PPP can significantly improve the convergence speed of GPS-only PPP in terms of position accuracy.

Fixed-point optimization utility software that can aid scaling and wordlength determination of digital signal processign algorithms written in C or C$\^$++/ language is developed. This utility consists of two programs: the range estimator and the fixed-point simulator. The former estimates the ranges of floating-point variables for automatic scaling purpose, and the latter translates floating-point programs into fixed-point equivalents for evaluating te fixed-point performance by simulation. By exploiting the operator overloading characteristics of C$\^$++/ language, the range estimation and the fixed-point simulation can be conducted just by modifying the variable declaration of the original program. This utility is easily applicable to nearly all types of digital signal processing programs including non-linear, time-varying, multi-rate, and multi-dimensional signal processing algorithms. In addition, this software can be used for comparing the fixed-point characteristics of different implementation architectures.

목 적: 본 연구에서는 근접치료 시 선량기준점에서 선량을 정확히 분석하고자 근접방사선치료용 다목적 팬텀(Multi Purpose Brachytherapy Phantom, MPBP)을 제작하여 그 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 자체 제작된 근접방사선치료용 다목적 팬텀(MPBP)에서 다기능삽입구(Multi Function Applicator, MFA)를 이용하여 치료 시와 동일한 조건을 재현한 후 열형광선량계(TLD)를 이용하여 전산화 치료계획 장치에서 계산된 좌표와 동일한 기준점에서 선량을 측정하였다. 측정 대상은 근접방사선 치료환자 중 탄뎀(tandem)과 난형체(ovoid)를 사용한 자궁경부암 환자 4명을 대상으로 환자 당 5회씩 총 20회 A point와 B point 그리고 방광에서 선량을 측정하였다. 결 과: MPBP에서 TLD의 측정 결과는 A Point에서 측정한 환자의 상대오차가 각각 -3.2%, -0.2%, 0%, 3.8%를 보였고, B point에서는 -1.4%, -1.4%, 2.4%, 4.0%를 보였다. 그리고 방광에서는 1.3%, 2%, 5.4%, 7.15%의 상대오차를 나타내었다. 결 론: 자체 제작된 근접치료용 다목적 팬텀(MPBP)은 다기능삽입구(MFA)를 사용하여 치료 시와 동일한 조건에서 선량측정의 재현성을 이룰 수 있었고, A, B point지점과 방광의 선량을 정확히 분석할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제작된 근접방사선치료용 다목적 팬텀은 기준점 선량분석에 매우 유용한 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 다운링크 다중 선박 네트워크에서 동적으로 협력 전송(CoMP Transmission; Coordinated Multi-point Transmission)을 사용하는 유틸리티 함수를 도출하고 이를 기반으로 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 스케줄링 기법은 수율과 공정성을 고려한 PF 형태의 유틸리티 함수를 최대화하기 위해서 매 프레임 협력적 전송 여부를 결정하고, 유틸리티 함수를 최대화하는 사용자를 선택한다. 특히 제안하는 유틸리티 함수 기반의 스케줄링 기법은 셀 경계 지역에 위치하는 사용자의 서비스 품질을 만족시키는 것을 목적으로 한다. 무선 환경에서 PF(Proportional Fair) 스케줄링을 사용할 때 제안한 유틸리티 함수를 기반으로 하는 스케줄링 기법의 성능을 평가한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안하는 스케줄링 기법은 협력적 통신 네트워크와 비협력적 통신 네트워크를 동적으로 사용함으로써 전체 네트워크의 성능을 유지하면서 가장자리에 있는 선박의 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.

The study presents the earthquake performance of the Bosphorus Bridge under multi-point earthquake excitation considering the spatially varying site-specific earthquake motions. The elaborate FE model of the bridge is firstly established depending on the new considerations of the used FEM software specifications, such as cable-sag effect, rigid link and gap elements. The modal analysis showed that singular modes of the deck and the tower were relatively effective in the dynamic behavior of the bridge due to higher total mass participation mass ratio of 80%. The parameters and requirements to be considered in simulation process are determined to generate the spatially varying site-specific ground motions. Total number of twelve simulated ground motions are defined for the multi-support earthquake analysis (Mp-sup). In order to easily implement multi-point earthquake excitation to the bridge, the practice-oriented procedure is summarized. The results demonstrated that the Mp-sup led to high increase in sectional forces of the critical components of the bridge, especially tower base section and tensile force of the main and back stay cables. A close relationship between the dynamic response and the behavior of the bridge under the Mp-sup was also obtained. Consequently, the outcomes from this study underscored the importance of the utilization of the multi-point earthquake analysis and the necessity of considering specifically generated earthquake motions for suspension bridges.

A multi-point aerodynamic shape optimization technique has been developed for helicopter rotor blades in hover based on a continuous adjoint method on unstructured meshes. The Euler flow solver and the continuous adjoint sensitivity analysis were formulated on the rotating frame of reference. The 'objective function and the sensitivity were obtained as a weighted sum of the values at each design point. The blade section contour was modified by using the Hicks-Henne shape functions. The mesh movement due to the blade geometry change was achieved by using a spring analogy. In order to handle the repeated evaluation of the design cycle efficiently, the flow and adjoint solvers were parallelized based on a domain decomposition strategy. A solution-adaptive mesh refinement technique was adopted for the accurate capturing of the wake. Applications were made to the aerodynamic shape optimization of the Caradonna-Tung rotor blades and the UH-60 rotor blades in hover.

In order to minimize straightness error of deflected shaft, a geometric adaptive straightness controller system is studied. A multi-step straightening and a three-point bending process have been developed for the geometric adaptive straightness controller. Load-deflection relationship, on-line identification of variations of material properties, on-line springback prediction, and real-time hydraulic control methodology are studied for the three-point bending process. By deflection pattern analysis and fuzzy self-learning method in the multi-step straightening process, a straightening point and direction, desired permanent deflection and supporting condition are determined. An automatic straightening machine has been fabricated for rack bars by using the developed ideas. Validity of the proposed system is verified through experiments.

The frequent occurrence of sewer flooding and the intermittent discharge of non-point pollutions into the receiving water body are emerging issues recently due to the climate change and urbanization. These problems might be solved by introducing a multifunctional storage facility. Unlike a single-purpose storage facility, a multi-purpose storage facility should be operated at an instant to meet for flood prevention, reduction of non-point pollution and/or rainwater reuse. Considering various operational combinations it is suggested that prevention of sewer flooding coupled with reduction of non-point pollution is the most effective operational strategy for a multi-functional storage facility.

In order to investigate the corrosion fatigue characteristics in the weld of multi-pass welded A 106 Gr B steel pipe, corrosion fatigue tests were performed under the various stress ratios and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at room temperature. The corrosion fatigue characteristic curves were represented using crack closure concept. The obtained results are as follows : when the load frequency is 1.0 Hz, the crack opening point is transited in the region of $K_{max}$=20∼32 MPaㆍ $m^{1}$2/. In the low stress intensity factor range, the crack opening point is higher than that in air. However, in the high stress intensity factor range, it is lower than that in air. In the cases of 0.1 Hz and 0.01 Hz, the crack opening point gradually decreases to $K_{min}$ with $K_{max}$ increase.rease.

This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for a kind of multi-point nonlinear fractional differential boundary value problem at resonance. Our main approach is different from the ones existed and our main ingredient is the Leggett-Williams norm-type theorem for coincidences due to O'Regan and Zima. The most interesting point is the acquisition of positive solutions for fractional differential boundary value problem at resonance. And an example is constructed to show that our result here is valid.
