  • Background: To elucidate the relationship between safety culture maturity and safety performance of a particular company. Methods: To identify the factors that contribute to a safety culture, a survey questionnaire was created based mainly on the studies of $Fern{\acute{a}}ndez-Mu{\tilde{n}}iz$ et al. The survey was randomly distributed to 1000 employees of two oil companies and realized a rate of valid answer of 51%. Minitab 16 software was used and diverse tests, including the descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, mean analysis, and correlation, were used for the analysis of data. Ten factors were extracted using the analysis of factor to represent safety culture and safety performance. Results: The results of this study showed that the managers' commitment, training, incentives, communication, and employee involvement are the priority domains on which it is necessary to stress the effort of improvement, where they had all the descriptive average values lower than 3.0 at the level of Company B. Furthermore, the results also showed that the safety culture influences the safety performance of the company. Therefore, Company A with a good safety culture (the descriptive average values more than 4.0), is more successful than Company B in terms of accident rates. Conclusion: The comparison between the two petrochemical plants of the group Sonatrach confirms these results in which Company A, the managers of which are English and Norwegian, distinguishes itself by the maturity of their safety culture has significantly higher evaluations than the company B, who is constituted of Algerian staff, in terms of safety management practices and safety performance.

  • 현재 인장형 지반앵커는 그 사용목적, 사용기간에 따라 가설과 영구로 구분하여 성능평가를 별도로 제시하고 있다. 현재의 성능평가 상한선과 하한선 기준을 실무에 적용하는 데 있어 타당한 것으로 보인다. 하지만, 압축형 지반앵커는 주로 영구로 사용되어 온 점으로 인해 가설과 영구의 구분 없이 영구에 해당하는 기준이 제시되어 있어 제거형과 같이 가설로 사용하는 지반앵커에 있어서는 엄격한 기준이 되고 있다. 기존 성능평가 기준선을 고찰해 본 결과, 하한 기준선은 가설과 영구 구분 없이 적용할 수 있는 것으로 판단되나 상한 기준선은 가설과 영구를 구분하여 제시하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다. 압축형 지반앵커에서 상한선 기준의 적용에 있어서 앵커의 정착지반상태(암반 또는 토사), 사용기간, 특히 하중-변위 곡선의 탄성상태 유지 여부 등을 고려하여 상한선을 조정할 필요성이 있다.

  • Objective: The aim of study was to investigate the effects of in-feed supplementation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BA) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) on growth performance, gut integrity, and microbiota modulations in red-feathered native chickens (RFCs). Methods: A total of 18,000 RFCs in a commercial farm were evenly assigned into two dietary treatments (control diet; 0.05% BA and 0.05% SC) by randomization and raised for 11 weeks in two separate houses. Fifty RFCs in each group were randomly selected and raised in the original house with the partition for performance evaluations at the age of 9 and 11 weeks. Six non-partitioned RFCs per group were randomly selected for analyses of intestinal architecture and 16S rRNA metagenomics. Results: Feeding BA and SC increased the body weight and body weight gain, significantly at the age of 11 weeks (p<0.05). The villus height/crypt ratio in the small intestines and Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio were also notably increased (p<0.05). The supplementation did not disturb the microbial community structure but promote the featured microbial shifts characterized by the significant increments of Bernesiella, Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group, and Butyrucimonas, following remarkable decrements of Bacteroides, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, and Succinatimonas in RFCs with growth benefits. Besides, functional pathways of peptidoglycan biosynthesis, nucleotide excision repair, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) biosynthesis were significantly promoted (p<0.05). Conclusion: In-feed supplementation of BA and SC enhanced the growth performance, improved mucosal architectures in small intestines, and modulated the cecal microbiota and metabolic pathways in RFCs.

  • This experimental demonstration has successfully shown that it is possible to use direct sunlight for the illumination of deeper building zones using the material for light path system(light duct). Three kinds of reflectors which were 95% Silver vaporizing fixed, 85% Anodized and 85% Hot melted applied to evaluate and compare their performances each others. Also, these three kind of reflectors were compared in view point of economics. The most high performance was obtained in 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector hater than another reflectors of 85% Anodized reflector and 85% Hot melted reflector even though more high production cost in 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector. The rest two reflectors of 85% Anodized and 85% Hot melted $10{sim}15%$ less performance than 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector but their production cost were low than the production cost of 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector which identified very weak and light yellow color in the light.

  • Lightning impulse voltage is essential to evaluate the insulation performance of electric power apparatus. Recently international standard(IEC-60) on high voltage measurement techniques are being revised. In the draft of this standard, a new calibration method is introduced and the accuracy of most industrial measuring systems is maintained by means of comparison test against the reference measuring systems. Intercomparison tests of dividers for lightning impulse measurement were carried out by KERI. The shielded resisitive divider with 700kV rating developed by KERI were done comparison test with PTB divider with 300kV rating which have the similar charateristics as that were circulated among the laboratories. This paper reports on the comparison test results with full lightning impulse voltages from 126kV to 240kV. It is demonstrated that KERI are capable of realizing the idea in the revision of the IEC standand, that is, to establish traceability.

  • The proxy mechanism widely used in WWW systems offers low-delay data delivery by means of "proxy server". By applying the proxy mechanisms to the video streaming system, we expect that high-quality and low-delay video distribution can be accomplished without introducing extra load on the system. In addition, it is effective to adapt the quality of cached video data appropriately in the proxy if user requests are diverse due to heterogeneity in terms of the available bandwidth, end-system performance, and user′s preferences on the perceived video quality. We have proposed proxy caching mechanisms to accomplish the high-quality and highly-interactive video streaming services. In our proposed system, a video stream is divided into blocks for efficient use of the cache buffer. The proxy server is assumed to be able to adjust the quality of a cached or retrieved video block to the request through video filters. In this paper, to verify the practicality of our mechanisms, we implemented them on a real system and conducted experiments. Through evaluations from several performance aspects, it was shown that our proposed mechanisms can provide users with a low-latency and high-quality video streaming service in a heterogeneous environment.

  • Artificial neural networks (ANNs) play an important role in the fields of function approximation, prediction, and classification. ANN performance is critically dependent on the input parameters, including the number of neurons in each layer, and the optimal values of weights and biases assigned to each neuron. In this study, we apply the particle swarm optimization method, a popular optimization algorithm for determining the optimal values of weights and biases for every neuron in different layers of the ANN. Several regression models, including general linear regression, Fourier regression, smoothing spline, and polynomial regression, are conducted to evaluate the proposed method's prediction power compared to multiple linear regression (MLR) methods. In addition, residual analysis is conducted to evaluate the optimized ANN accuracy for both training and test datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively determine optimal values for neuron weights and biases, and high accuracy results are obtained for prediction applications. Evaluations of the proposed method reveal that it can be used for prediction and estimation purposes, with a high accuracy ratio, and the designed model provides a reliable technique for optimization. The simulation results show that the optimized ANN exhibits superior performance to MLR for prediction purposes.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 아동이 또래와 함께 과제를 풀어 나가는 과정에서, 상호작용하는 아동들의 객관적인 상대적 능력과 주관적인 상대적 능력을 고려하여 이들이 아동의 과제해결능력에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보고자 하는 것이었다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 대상 아동이 자신보다 우수하거나 열등한 아동과 상호작용을 경험하게 하며, 이들 상대방에 대해서 아동자신은 어떻게 평가하고 있는지, 또한 이러한 상대방의 능력에 대한 주관적 평가가 아동의 과제해결 능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았으며, 마지막으로 이러한 관계가 상대방에 대한 친밀도와는 어떻게 관련지어 나타나는지를 살펴보았다. 6, 8, 10세의 아동을 대상으로 하여 서로에 대한 친밀도를 조사하였으며 상대방의 능력에 대해 어떻게 생각하고 있는지에 대한 주관적인 평가를 하게 했다. 또한 하노이탑 과제를 사용하여 사전 검사, 처리, 사후 검사 단계를 통해 아동의 과제 해결 능력을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 자신보다 더 우수한 짝과 함께 공동 과제 해결을 한 아동이 그렇지 않은 아동보다 사후검사에서 더 많은 향상력을 보여줄 것이라고 기대하였으나 이 가설은 기각되었고, 아동이 자신의 짝에 대하여 긍정적으로 생각할 때, 다시 말하면 자신보다 과제를 더 잘 풀어 나갈 것이라고 판단할 경우에만 과제 수행 능력이 향상되었다. 이러한 결과는 객관적으로 평가된 아동의 능력보다 아동 자신이 주관적으로 상대방의 능력에 대해 판단한 것이 더 의미있게 과제수행 능력에 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다.
