The natural convection in a horizontal enclosure heated from the bottom wall, cooled at the top wall, and having a square adiabatic body in the center is studied. Three different Prandtl numbers (0.01, 0.7 and 7) are considered for the investigation of the effect of the Prandtl number on natural convection. Adiabatic boundary conditions are employed for the side walls. A two-dimensional solution for unsteady natural convection is obtained, using an accurate and efficient Chebyshev spectral methodology for different Rayleigh numbers varying over the range of $10_3$ to $10_6$. It had been experimentally reported that the heat transfer mode becomes oscillatory when Pr is out of a specific Pr band beyond the critical Ra. In this study, we reproduced this phenomenon numerically. It was found that when Ra=$10_6$, only the case for intermediate Pr (=0.7) reached a non-changing steady state and the low and high Pr number cases (Pr=0.01 and 7) showed a periodically oscillatory fashion hydrodynamically and thermally. The variation of time- and surface-averaged Nusselt numbers on the hot and cold walls for different Rayleigh numbers and Prandtl numbers are presented to show the overall heat transfer characteristics in the system. Further, the isotherms and streamline distributions are presented in detail to compare the physics related to their thermal behavior.

Surface Image Velocimetry(SIV) is an instrument to measure water surface velocity by using image processing techniques. Since SIV is a non-contact type measurement method, it is very effective and useful to measure water surface velocity for steep mountainous streams, such as streams in Jeju island. In the present study, a surface imaging velocimetry system was used to calculate the flow rate for flood event due to a typhoon. At the same time, two types of electromagnetic surface velocimetries (electromagnetic surface current meter and Kalesto) were used to observe flow velocities and compare the accuracies of each instrument. The comparison showed that for velocity distributions root mean square error(RMSE) was 0.33 and R-squared was 0.72. For discharge measurements, root mean square error(RMSE) reached 6.04 and R-squared did 0.92. It means that surface image velocimetry could be used as an alternative method for electromagnetic surface velocimetries in measuring flood discharge.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analysis path model of the research variables. Methods: The subjects of this study were 647 nurses who were working in the 8 general hospitals located in Seoul and Incheon area. The data were collected by self-reporting questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and path analysis. Results: In the modified path model, overall fitness indexes were $X^2$= 223.27, goodness of fit index=0.90, root mean square residual=0.039, root mean square error of approximation=0.12, non-normed fit index=0.96, and normed fit index=0.90. From the model, among research variables that influence organizational effectiveness motivator, job satisfaction and organizational identification affected directly work performance. In internal marketing factors, paid-leave, communication and reward affected directly motivator. Motivator and hygiene factors affected directly job satisfaction, organizational commitment and organizational identification. Conclusion: With these findings, paid-leave, communication, reward, motivator, job satisfaction and organizational identification were direct or indirect predictors of the work performance. Therefore nursing managers ought to develop internal marketing strategies and motivation enhancing system for nurses based on this path model in order to improve the nursing organizational effectiveness.

코로나19으로 인해 준비되지 않은 상황에서 전면적인 비대면 온라인 교육을 실시중인 대학가에서는 효과적인 학습자-교수자 상호간 커뮤니케이션 방안을 찾고자 노력하고 있다. 이를 위해서는 비대면 온라인 교육의 특성을 이해하고, 수요자의 특성에 따른 요구사항의 차이를 알아둘 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 학습자의 인구통계학적 특성과 학습 또는 의사전달 측면에서 중요하거나 선호하는 커뮤니케이션 유형 및 방법 간의 상호관련성을 카이제곱(chi-square) 검정을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과 학습자 특성별로 중요도/선호도가 유의하게 다른 것으로 입증되었다.

A conceptual model represents an understanding of a system that is going to be developed, which in this research, a driving simulation software to study driver behavior at signalised intersections. Therefore, video observation was conducted to study driver compliance behaviour within the dilemma zone at signalised intersection, with regards to driver's distance from the stop line during yellow light interval. The video was analysed using Thematic Analysis and the data extracted from it was analysed using Chi-Square Independent Test. The Thematic Analysis revealed two major themes which were traffic situation and driver compliance behaviour. Traffic situation is defined as traffic surrounding the driver, such as no car in front and behind, car in front, and car behind. Meanwhile, the Chi-Square Test result indicates that within the dilemma zone, there was a significant relationship between driver compliance behaviour and driver's distance from the stop line during yellow light interval. The closer the drivers were to the stop line, the more likely they were going to comply. In contrast, drivers showed higher non-compliant behavior when further away from stop line. This finding could help in the development of conceptual model of driving simulation with purpose in studying driver behavior.

수십 센터미터 이내의 오차를 만족시키는 거리/위치인식 기능 및 저속 데이터 송수신 기능 구현을 주목적으로 발족된 저속 WPAN(LR-WPAN: Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network)의 표준화 그룹인 IEEE802.15.4a에서는 간단하고 경제적이며 전력 소모가 적은 송수신기 구조를 요구한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 PEWB(Parallel Energy Window Banks)를 이용한 독창적인 비동기 OOK(On-Off Keying) 방식 UWB(Ultra-Wide Band) 송수신기 구조를 제안한다. 또한 무선 다중경로 페이딩 채널 상황을 다소 극복할 수 있게 유연성 있는 운영이 가능한 송수신기 구조를 위해 펄스 및 비트 반복 기법을 사용한다. 제안된 송수신기 구조의 잡음 특성 분석을 위해 chi-square 분포가 적용되며, 반복적 계산을 통해 얻어진 최적임계값을 적용하며 비트오율 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험 결과, 10-5의 비트오율을 얻기 위한 신호대잡음비 및 수신에너지 적분시간은, LOS(Line-Of-Sight) 주거 환경의 경우 15.3dB, 32ns이고, NLOS(Non-Line-Of-Sight) 실외 환경의 경우 16.2dB, 72ns이다. 최소의 비트오율을 얻기 위한 적분에너지 대 전체 수신에너지 비는 약 $86\%$이다.

Sheet metal forming process is a non-linearity problem which Is affected by various process variables, such as geometric shape of punch and die, frictional characteristic, etc.. Therefore, the knowledge of the influence of the process variables is needed in the design of sheet metal working processes. In this paper, deep drawing tests for blank holding force, punch speed and lubrication between sheet material and tool were carried out to investigate the influence upon sheet formability. Experimental results were discussed about the defects on the deformation behaviors during the forming process.

In this paper, we discuss a design method of iterative learning control systems for parabolic linear distributed parameter systems(DPSs). First, we discuss some aspects of boundary control of the DPS, and then propose to employ the Karhunen-Loeve procedure to reduce the infinite dimensional problem to a low-order finite dimensional problem. An iterative learning control(ILC) for non-square transfer function matrix is introduced finally for the reduced order system.

In this paper, were introduce two types of equalizers, called equalizer-a and equalizer-b, applying to wireless communications having unknown channel characteristics. The equalizer-a, which has the single sample detector with equalizer system, is developed while the equalizer-b has the partition detectors with the same system used in equalizer-a. The methodologiy we adopt for designing the equalizers is that the sample space is partitioned into finite number of regions by using quantiles, which are estimated by robbins-monro stochastic approximation (RMSA) algorithm, and the coefficients of equalizers are calculated based on nonlinear minimum mean, square error (MMSE) algorithm. Through the computer simulation, the equalizers show much better performance in equiprobably partitioned sample subspaces of observations than the single sample detector and the detector, which has the conventional equalizer, in unquantized observation space under various noise environments.

The paper proposes a practical meshless method for the free vibration analysis of clamped plates having arbitrary shapes by extending the non-dimensional dynamic influence function (NDIF) method, which was developed by the author in 1999. In the proposed method, the domain and boundary of the plate of interest are discretized using only nodes without elements unlike FEM and the system matrices are obtained by making domain nodes and boundary nodes satisfy the governing differential equation and boundary conditions, respectively. However, since the above system matrices are not square ones, the problem of free vibrations of clamped plates is not reduced to an algebraic eigenvalue problem. An additional theoretical treatment is considered to produce an algebraic eigenvalue problem. It is revealed from case studies that the proposed method is valid and accurate.
