  • This paper presents the wind excited acceleration responses of a 50 m guyed mast under the action of Typhoon Dujuan. The response of the structure is reconstructed from using a full finite element model and an equivalent beam-column model. The wind load is modelled based on the measured wind speed and recommendations for high-rise structures. The nonlinear time response analysis is conducted using the Newton Raphson iteration procedure. Comparative studies on the measured and computed frequencies and acceleration responses show that the torsional vibration of the structure is significant particularly in the higher vibration modes after the first few bending modes. The equivalent model, in general, gives less accurate amplitude predictions than the full model because of the omission of torsional stiffness of the mast in the vibration analysis, but the root-mean-square value is close to the measured value in general with an error of less than 10%.

  • This paper first proposes diverse C determining models in the Q algorithm which is proposed in the EPCglobal C1 Gen 2 standard and then compares and analyzes its performance. EPCglobal C1 Gen 2 standard proposes the slot-count (Q) selection algorithm for multiple tag identification environment, but there is no such definition for the C value which modifies the Q value depending on collision or no reply. During the tag anti-collision process, the Q algorithm adds C to the Q when there is a collision and reduces the Q by C when there is no reply. The modified Q value updates new slot-counts for tags which determines the tag identification speed, so the C value is an important factor. However, many researches only intend to increase the tag identification speed by proposing a new method or modifying the Q algorithm without any research about the C value. This paper suggests diverse C models which satisfies the EPCglobal C1 Gen 2 and analyzes their performance in the multi tag identification environment. The result of this paper can be used as an index for future researches on EPCglobal C1 Gen 2 C models and multiple tag identification performance.

  • Objective: This study was conducted to provide models to accurately predict nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) excretion of dairy cows on smallholder farms in Indonesia based on readily available farm data. Methods: The generic model in this study is based on the principles of the Lucas equation, describing the relation between dry matter intake (DMI) and faecal N excretion to predict the quantity of faecal N (QFN). Excretion of urinary N and faecal P were calculated based on National Research Council recommendations for dairy cows. A farm survey was conducted to collect input parameters for the models. The data set was used to calibrate the model to predict QFN for the specific case. The model was validated by comparing the predicted quantity of faecal N with the actual quantity of faecal N (QFNACT) based on measurements, and the calibrated model was compared to the Lucas equation. The models were used to predict N and P excretion of all 144 dairy cows in the data set. Results: Our estimate of true N digestibility equalled the standard value of 92% in the original Lucas equation, whereas our estimate of metabolic faecal N was -0.60 g/100 g DMI, with the standard value being -0.61 g/100 g DMI. Results of the model validation showed that the R2 was 0.63, the MAE was 15 g/animal/d (17% from QFNACT), and the RMSE was 20 g/animal/d (22% from QFNACT). We predicted that the total N excretion of dairy cows in Indonesia was on average 197 g/animal/d, whereas P excretion was on average 56 g/animal/d. Conclusion: The proposed models can be used with reasonable accuracy to predict N and P excretion of dairy cattle on smallholder farms in Indonesia, which can contribute to improving manure management and reduce environmental issues related to nutrient losses.

  • Disturbance Observer(DOB) based control is considered for the purpose of the balancing performance enhancement in a single-wheel robot. Design of DOB can be folded into two parts, the inverse model of the plant and the Q-filter. The inverse model is derived from the inverted stick model and a Q-filter is designed to stabilize the inverse model. In this paper, a Q31 filter is designed and its effect is evaluated by experimental studies. The time constant provides a complimentary characteristic between the disturbance suppression and the sensor noise immunity. Therefore, suitable selection of the time-constant must be considered. Comparative experiments are conducted to investigate the control performances when three different Q filters are respectively applied in the DOB. Through the analysis of the experimental results, a time constant is designed to have a proper value in the design of DOB for balancing control of a single-wheel robot.

  • This study examines the ratio of R&D expenses in intangible assets for pharmaceutical companies, and determines whether these expenses affect the firm value among companies listed on the KOSDAQ. The research subjects included annual R&D expenses of 39 pharmaceutical companies listed on the KOSDAQ between 2011 and 2017. The survey was achieved via "Panel Data Model" with "Tobin Q" as an independent variable, and the ratio of R&D expenses in intangible as a dependent variable. Results of the study conclude that the ratio of R&D expenses in intangible assets of KOSDAQ pharmaceutical companies negatively influence the Tobin Q (Enterprise Value). A large proportion of intangible assets indicates increased R & D investment, and the operating profit is likely to be low due to the high debt ratio, thereby negatively impacting the enterprise value. This study further investigates whether the existing researches are based on researches that identify the total value of R & D expenditure. Results determine a significant relationship between enterprise value and R & D expenditure.

  • We analyzed spectral attenuation of coda waves and estimated coda Q values in the crust of the Korean peninsula. 574 NS-component seismograms registered by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and Korea Institute of Geology, Mining and Materials (KIGAM) seismic networks with epicentral distances less than 100 km and sampling rate greater than 80 Hz were selected for this study. We estimated coda Q values using the single isotropic scattering model at center frequencies of 1.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 Hz with 20 s time window starting from double of the S-wave arrival times. Estimated coda Q value at 1 Hz ($Q_0$) and n value range 50 to 250 and 0.5 to 1.0, respectively, and they are well correlated with the regional geology in the Korean peninsula. The $Q_0$ values in western Korea agree well with those of eastern China.

  • This study investigates the existing theoretical backgrounds for bearing capacity determination according to the plasticity of soils when unsymmetrical surcharge is loaded on polluted soft soils. It also investigates the behavior of the displacement and bearing capacity by unsymmetrical surcharge on the Polluted soft soils. by comparing the analytical results and the actual measurements performed through the model test. Model tests were carried out as follows : soil tank, bearing frame and bearing plate are made for the test ; the water content in soil tank was kept constant while the contaminants in natural soils and polluted material were gradually increased ; unsymmetrical surcharge is increased at regular intervals and then the amounts of settlement, lateral displacement and upheaval are observed. In conclusion, the value of critical surcharge was expressed as $q_{ cr}= 2.78_{Cu}$ which was similar to those $Tschebotarioff(q_{cr}=3.0_{Cu)$ and $Meyerhof(q_{cr}=(B/2H+\pi/2_{Cu})$ had proposed. The value of ultimate capacity was expressed as $q_{ult}=4.84_{Cu}$ which was similar to that of Prandtl.

  • An efficient and reasonable resource allocation strategy can greatly improve the service quality of Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, most of the current allocation methods have overestimation problem, and it is difficult to provide high-performance IoV network services. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a network resource allocation strategy based on deep learning network model DDQN. Firstly, the method implements the refined modeling of IoV model, including communication model, user layer computing model, edge layer offloading model, mobile model, etc., similar to the actual complex IoV application scenario. Then, the DDQN network model is used to calculate and solve the mathematical model of resource allocation. By decoupling the selection of target Q value action and the calculation of target Q value, the phenomenon of overestimation is avoided. It can provide higher-quality network services and ensure superior computing and processing performance in actual complex scenarios. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed method can maintain the network delay within 65 ms and show excellent network performance in high concurrency and complex scenes with task data volume of 500 kbits.

  • Because of their widespread occurrence and substantial biological activity, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons are one of the important classes of contaminants in the environment. We have performed comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) on structurally diverse ligands of Ah (dioxin) receptor to explore the physico-chemical requirements for binding. All CoMFA models have given $q^{2}$ value of more than 0.5 and $r^{2}$ value of more than 0.83. The predictive ability of the models was validated by an external test set, which gave satisfactory predictive $r^{2}$ values. Best predictions were obtained with CoMFA model of combined modified training set ($q^{2}=0.631,\;r^{2}=0.900$), giving predictive residual value = 0.002 log unit for the test compound. We have suggested a model comprises of four structurally different compounds, which offers a good predictability for various ligands. Our QSAR model is consistent with all previously established QSAR models with less structurally diverse ligands. The implications of the CoMFA/QSAR model presented herein are explored with respect to quantitative hazard identification of potential toxicants.

  • For RMR and Q rock mass classification at the design and construction stage, evaluation of groundwater condition is usually based upon the experience due to the restriction of available methods. Based on the results of Taejon LNG Pilot Cavern which acquire joint water pressure, inflow rate of ground water and hydraulic conductivity model, estimates from numerical analysis and analytical solutions were compared to verify each evaluation method. As the result, the Raymer(2001) approach was found to be efficient for estimating inflow rate and corresponding value.
