This thesis deals with the method of Work Sampling to compare production activity due to change of productivity, workmen's productivity environment, nonproductivity of machine and plant when there is a process before and after change of work environments. So, this study takes $x^2$ - test to discover significant change of process, and obtains Proper observation number due to ratio difference-test over change of productivity before and after process change. Therefore, this thesis represent statistically effective results between two periods before and after process change.

The purpose of this study was to find the degree of satisfaction of the Korean elderly with their existing residential environment and their propensity to move. The data were collected through interviews and structured questionnaires. The subjects were 1,200 nationwide elderly over the age of 60 selected by probability sampling proportionate to size. cluster and random sampling method. The data were analyzed with frequency. percentage. and $X^2$-test using the SAS package. The major findings were as follows: Most subjects were satisfied with their housing environment and had no intention of moving. The subjects were highly satisfied with their residential environment. did not tend to move. This result does not necessarily mean that there is no need for better housing and no need to design elderly housing in Korea. It implies the need for community integrated housing development with flexible service system.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of sampling frequency on the photoplethysmography (PPG) and to evaluate the performance of interpolation methods for under-sampled PPG. We generated down-sampled PPG using 10 kHz-sampled PPG then evaluated waveshape changes with correlation coefficient. Correlation coefficient was significantly decreased at 50 Hz or below sampling frequency. We interpolated the down-sampled PPG using four interpolation method-linear, nearest, cubic spline and piecewise cubic Hermitt interpolation polynomial - then evaluated interpolation performance. As a result, it was shown that PPG waveform that was sampled over 20 Hz could be reconstructed by interpolation. Among interpolation methods, cubic spline interpolation showed the highest performance. However, every interpolation method has no or less effect on 5 Hz sampled PPG.

This paper proposes a method for real-time control of both capacitors and ULTC in a distribution system to reduce the total power loss and to improve the voltage profile over the course of a day. The multi-stage consists of the off-line stage to determine dispatch schedule based on a load forecast and the on-line stage generates the time and control sequences at each sampling time. It is then determined whether one of the control actions in the control sequence is performed at the present sampling time. The proposed method is presented for a typical radial distribution system with a single ULTC and capacitors.

얼굴 영상으로부터 사람의 감정을 예측하는 연구는 최근 딥러닝의 발전과 함께 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서 우리는 연속적인 변수를 사용하여 감정을 표현하는 dimensional model에 기반하여 얼굴 영상으로부터 감정 상태를 나타내는 지표인 valance/arousal(V/A)을 예측하는 딥러닝 네트워크를 제안한다. 그러나 V/A 예측 모델의 학습에 사용되는 기존의 데이터셋들은 데이터 불균형(data imbalance) 문제를 가진다. 이를 해소하기 위해, 우리는 오토인코더 구조를 가지는 얼굴 영상 생성 네트워크를 학습하고, 이로부터 얻어지는 균일한 분포의 데이터로부터 V/A 예측 네트워크를 학습한다. 실험을 통해 우리는 제안하는 얼굴 생성 오토인코더가 in-the-wild 환경의 데이터셋으로부터 임의의 valence, arousal에 대응하는 얼굴 영상을 성공적으로 생생함을 보인다. 그리고, 이를 통해 학습된 V/A 예측 네트워크가 기존의 under-sampling, over-sampling 방영들과 비교하여 더 높은 인식 성능을 달성함을 보인다. 마지막으로 기존의 방법들과 제안하는 V/A 예측 네트워크의 성능을 정량적으로 비교한다.

We present the development of a wetcyclone sampler designed for the sampling of airborne bacteria. The wetcyclone design involves a combination of two traditional cyclone shapes and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to validate its effectiveness in terms of pressure drop and collection efficiency. The wetcyclone exhibits a collection efficiency of over 90% for bacteria, specifically targeting Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the wetcyclone enables continuous bioaerosol sampling using a liquid medium (deionized water), demonstrating a concentration ratio exceeding >105 and a stable microbial recovery rate of 81.9%. The application of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and the colony counting method ensures precise measurement of the concentration ratio and microbial recovery rate.

Studies using stable water vapor isotopes have been recently conducted over the past two decades because of difficulties in analysis and sample collection in the past. Stable water vapor isotope data provide information of the moisture transport from ocean to continent, which are also used to validate an isotope enabled general circulation model for paleoclimate reconstructions. The isotopic compositions of groundwater and water vapor also provide a clue to how moisture moves from soil to atmosphere by evapotranspiration. International Atomic Energy Agency designates the stations over the world to observe the water vapor isotopes. To analyze the water vapor isotopes, a cryogenic sampling method has been used over the past two decades. Recently, two types of laser-based spectroscopy have been developed and remotely sensed data from satellites have the global coverage. In this review, measurements of isotopic compositions of water vapor will be introduced and some studies using the water vapor isotopes will also be introduced. Finally, we will suggest the future study in Korea.

An extreme value analysis (EVA) is essential to obtain a design value for highly nonlinear variables such as long-term environmental data for wind and waves, and slamming or sloshing impact pressures. According to the extreme value theory (EVT), the extreme value distribution is derived by multiplying the initial cumulative distribution functions for independent and identically distributed (IID) random variables. However, in the position mooring of DNVGL, the sampled global maxima of the mooring line tension are assumed to be IID stochastic variables without checking their independence. The ITTC Recommended Procedures and Guidelines for Sloshing Model Tests never deal with the independence of the sampling data. Hence, a design value estimated without the IID check would be under- or over-estimated because of considering observations far away from a Weibull or generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) as outliers. In this study, the IID sampling data are first checked in an EVA. With no IID random variables, an automatic resampling scheme is recommended using the block maxima approach for a generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach for a GPD. A partial autocorrelation function (PACF) is used to check the IID variables. In this study, only one 5 h sample of sloshing test results was used for a feasibility study of the resampling IID variables approach. Based on this study, the resampling IID variables may reduce the number of outliers, and the statistically more appropriate design value could be achieved with independent samples.

This study compared between tropospheric column ozone by applying the SAM method to TOMS and OMI data for northern summer. Tropospheric ozone from the SAM represents a peak over the tropical Atlantic, where it is related with biomass burning. This feature is also seen in the distribution of the model and CO. Additionally, enhancement of the SAM ozone over the Middle East, and South and North America agrees well with the model and CO distribution. However, the SAM results show more ozone than the model results over the northern hemisphere, especially the ocean (e.g. the North Pacific and the North Atlantic). The tropospheric ozone distribution from OMI data shows more ozone than that from TOMS data. This can be caused by different viewing angle, sampling frequency, and a-priori ozone profiles between OMI and TOMS. The correlation between the SAM tropospheric ozone and CO is better than that between the model and CO in the tropics. However, that correlation is reversed in the midlatitude.

Judgement post-stratification is a new sampling method developed by MacEachern et al. (2004). This article suggests that the judgement post-stratification method can be a good alternative for the simple random sampling when analyzing real-world environmental data. It becomes an important task to accurately measure the output of a recycling facility since the EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) system takes effect on 2003. However, the total weight of materials processed in the recycling facility may not be a proper measure because the materials are frequently mingled with other non-recycling materials. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the mixture ratio of non-recycling materials among the total materials admitted in the facility. Unfortunately, the size of sample in a recycling facility is restricted due to the inconvenience of sampling procedure such as safety, odor, time and classification of non-recycling materials. In this article, we showed the relative efficiency of the judgement post-stratification method over the simple random sampling method for equal sample sizes using Monte Carlo simulation. Furthermore, we applied the judgement post-stratification method on the 2004 recycling data and showed that it can replace the simple random sampling even with smaller observations.
