The main aim of this study is to predict the compressive and flexural strengths of self-compacting mortar (SCM) containing $nano-SiO_2$, $nano-Fe_2O_3$ and nano-CuO using wavelet-based weighted least squares-support vector machines (WLS-SVM) approach which is called WWLS-SVM. The WWLS-SVM regression model is a relatively new metamodel has been successfully introduced as an excellent machine learning algorithm to engineering problems and has yielded encouraging results. In order to achieve the aim of this study, first, the WLS-SVM and WWLS-SVM models are developed based on a database. In the database, nine variables which consist of cement, sand, NS, NF, NC, superplasticizer dosage, slump flow diameter and V-funnel flow time are considered as the input parameters of the models. The compressive and flexural strengths of SCM are also chosen as the output parameters of the models. Finally, a statistical analysis is performed to demonstrate the generality performance of the models for predicting the compressive and flexural strengths. The numerical results show that both of these metamodels have good performance in the desirable accuracy and applicability. Furthermore, by adopting these predicting metamodels, the considerable cost and time-consuming laboratory tests can be eliminated.

Objective : This study investigated the temperament and character traits associated with suicide attempts in patients with mood disorders. Methods : The temperament and character inventory (TCI) was administered to 150 patients who visited psychiatric clinics seeking treatment for mood symptoms. The patients were divided into three groups as follows : non-suicide ideation, suicide ideation and suicide attempt. We also gathered socio-economic data in order to rule out confounding variables. MANOVA was performed to analyze differences in personal temperament and character scores on the TCI between the three groups. Results : The self-directedness and cooperativeness subscales of the TCI are most influenced by the clinical symptoms rated by Beck Suicide Ideation Scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In the temperament scale, the suicide attempt group scored higher on the novelty seeking and harm avoidance items than the other two groups. The specific temperaments associated with suicidal behavior in patients with depression are impulsivity (NS2) and anticipatory anxiety or pessimism (HA1). Conclusion : In this study, we found that more risky patients who had previously attempted suicide had a temperament of impulsivity or pessimism. This finding suggests that a more cautious approach is needed to assess mood disorder patients with impulsive or pessimistic temperaments in order to prevent suicide attempts.

A geographical routing protocol is typically utilized for a route selection of VANET. Even if it is conceptually well adapted into VANET, message delivery tends to be unreliable with frequent network partitions, which mainly come from the inherent characteristics such as high mobility and irregular traffic density. In this paper, we deal with a method to enable reliable message delivery with reflecting the traffic density on routing decision. By concatenating the message delivery cost of each of inbetween junction section, $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ shortest paths are initially determined. When it is not possible to deliver the message on a junction on the 1st path, we utilize two novel ideas, that is, letting the message stay on the junction to find out a new relay node, and putting a replicated copy to reach via a detour path. By using the NS-2 network simulator, our method has been examined in terms of message delivery rate and delay. It shows that our method is much efficient than the other method in the low density environment, while it brings similar results in the high density environment.

IP계층에서의 이동성 지원에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 IETF에서 MIPv6에 대한 표준화가 진행되었다. MIPv6는 이동 노드가 망과 망 사이를 이동할 때, 서비스에 대한 연결성을 유지하여 끊김 없는 통신을 가능하게 해주며, 이러한 방법을 핸드오버라고 한다. IEEE 802.21에서는 MIH(Media Independent Handover)라는 끊김 없는 핸드오버를 위한 방법을 표준화했다. MIH는 하위 레이어와 상위 레이어에서의 핸드오버를 위해 세 가지 서비스를 사용하였으며, 본 논문에서는 기존의 MIH에 두 가지 모드를 적용하여 네트워크 시뮬레이터에서 듀얼 모바일 호스트와 싱글 모바일 호스트의 성능 평가를 수행하였다.

This paper describes the process of nanoparticle synthesis by laser ablation of microparticles and consolidated sample. We have generated nanoparticles by high-power pulsed laser ablation of AI, Cu and Ag microparticles using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 355nm, FWHM 6ns, fluence $0.8{\sim}2.0J/cm^2$). Microparticles of mean diameter $18{\sim}80{\mu}m$ are ablated in the ambient air. The generated nanoparticles are collected on a glass substrate and the size distribution and morphology are examined using a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. The effect of laser fluence, collector position and compacting pressure on the distribution of particle size is investigated. To better understand the process of laser ablation of microparticle(LAM), we investigated the Nd: YAG laser-induced breakdown of Cu microparticle using time-resolved optical shadow images. Nanosecond time-resolved images of the ablation process are also obtained by laser flash shadowgraphy. Based on the experimental results, discussions are made on the dynamics of ablation plume.

This paper describes the design and development of a novel semiconductor-based solid-state switch for damped oscillating voltage test system. The proposed switch is configured as two identical series-connected switch stacks, each of which comprising 10 series-connected IGBT function units. Each unit consists of one IGBT, a gate driver, and an auxiliary voltage sharing circuit. A single switch stack can block 20 kV-rated high voltage, and two stacks in series are proven applicable to 30 kV-rated high voltage. The turn-on speed of the switch is approximately 250 ns. A flyback topology-based power supply system with a front-end power factor correction is built for the drive circuit by loosely inductively coupling each unit with a ferrite core to the primary side of a power generator to obtain the advantages of galvanic isolation and compact size. After the simulation, measurement, and estimation of the parasitic effect on the gate driver, a prototype is assembled and tested under different operating regimes. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed prototype.

육군은 실시간으로 지휘통제 정보를 공유하는 전장정보체계의 구성을 위해 육군전술지휘정보체계(ATCIS : Army Tactical Command Information System)를 개발하였다. 이러한 ATCIS 체계는 공개키 및 암호화 장비를 이용하여 무결성, 비밀성은 충분히 충족시키지만, zero day attack을 이용한 새로운 방법의 DDoS(Distributed Denial of service)공격 등 가용성에 대해서는 무결성, 비밀성만큼의 안전성이 확보되지 못한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 네트워크 시뮬레이터인 NS-2(3)에서 제공하는 DN-AN 모델을 이용하여 웜 피해평가를 위한 시뮬레이션을 구현하였다. 또한, 도출된 결과를 통해 ATCIS에서의 웜 취약점을 분석하고, 대응방안을 제안한다.

This study presents a system dynamics modeling approach to simulate daily streamflow in a watershed including wastewater treatment plant which contributes to irrigation water supply. The conceptual system dynamics model considering the complex and dynamic hydrological processes in the watershed was developed. The model was calibrated and validated each for two years based on observed flow data. Model performances in terms of $E_{NS}$, RSR, PBIAS, and $R^2$ were 0.64, 0.60, -3.6 %, and 0.64 for calibration period, and 0.66, 0.58, -2.6 %, and 0.66 for validation period, respectively, showing an applicability on generating the daily streamflow. System dynamics modeling approach could help better understand the hydrological behavior of the watershed being reused wastewater for agriculture, by providing graphical dynamics of the hydrological processes as well as conventional rainfall-runoff model results.

높은 데이터 전송률과 넓은 전송 대역을 제공할 수 있도록 표준화 된 시스템인 IEEE 802.16d[1]시스템에서는 여러 가지 서비스 클래스들을 이용하여 QoS를 보장해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다. 그러나, 효율적인 QoS를 제공하기 위해서는 스케줄링에 필요한 factor들을 적절하게 설정해야 하며, 시스템의 환경에 맞도록 변경해야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.16d 시스템을 simulator (NS-2) [2]에 구현하고, IEEE 802.16f [3]에서 표준화한 MIB과 QoS를 고려한 MIB (Q-MAN MIB)을 구현하여 IEEE 802.16d 시스템과 연동하도록 구축한 네트워크 관리 시스템인 Q-MAN을 소개한다. Q-MAN 네트워크 관리 시스템을 통해 IEEE 802.16d 시스템의 QoS 제공 상태에 대한 모니터링이 가능하고, 스케줄링에 필요한 설정 값을 동적으로 변경이 가능하기 때문에 IEEE 802.16d 시스템의 효율을 극대화 시킬 수 있다.
