Purpose: The current study analyzed trends in thermal insulation performance with aging, and condensation characteristics caused by the former. Method: Thermal insulation and condensation prevention performance of an architecture were assessed using Temperature Difference Ration Inside, or TDRi. Subjects of this quantitative analysis in thermal insulation performance change due to aging included recently constructed apartments and aged apartments older than 40 years. Time series comparison and analysis were conducted to observed changes in the thermal insulation performance and condensation characteristics. Result: Analysis showed that wall insulation performance degraded with aging regardless of fortified insulating material usage or insulating material type, which caused increased danger of condensation. In addition, when fortified insulating material was installed on the connection between the walls, insulation performance degradation was lower compared to cases in which fortified materials were not used. In all cases from 1 to 10, the rate of thermal insulation performance degradation increased after 20 years of aging.

Multiple projectors with partially overlapping regions can be used to project a seamless image on a large projection surface. With the advent of high-resolution photography, such systems are gaining popularity. Experts set up such projection systems by subjectively identifying the types of errors induced by the system in the projected images and rectifying them by optimizing (correcting) the parameters associated with the system. This requires substantial time and effort, thus making it difficult to set up such systems. Moreover, comparing the performance of different multi-projector display (MPD) systems becomes difficult because of the subjective nature of evaluation. In this work, we present a framework to quantitatively determine the quality of an MPD system and any image projected using such a system. We have divided the quality assessment into geometric and photometric qualities. For geometric quality assessment, we use Feature Similarity Index (FSIM) and distance-based Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). For photometric quality assessment, we propose to use a measure incorporating Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), Intensity Magnitude Ratio (IMR) and Perceptual Color Difference (ΔE). We have tested the proposed framework and demonstrated that it provides an acceptable method for both quantitative evaluation of MPD systems and estimation of the perceptual quality of any image projected by them.

Several researches have been studied to enhance the seismic performance of nuclear power plants (NPPs) by application of seismic isolation. If a seismic base isolation system is applied to NPPs, seismic performance of nuclear power plants should be reevaluated considering the soil-structure interaction effect. The seismic fragility analysis method has been used as a quantitative seismic safety evaluation method for the NPP structures and equipment. In this study, the seismic performance of an isolated NPP is evaluated by seismic fragility curves considering the soil-structure interaction effect. The designed seismic isolation is introduced to a containment building of Shin-Kori NPP which is KSNP (Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant), to improve its seismic performance. The seismic analysis is performed considering the soil-structure interaction effect by using the linearized model of seismic isolation with SASSI (System for Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction) program. Finally, the seismic fragility is evaluated based on soil-isolation-structure interaction analysis results.

The purpose of this paper is to extract DEMs from Spot-3 strips using orbit modeling technique. Spot-3 stereo strip images along 420km in distance were used for experiments. The orbit modeling technique has been suggested to establish accurate geometric models for a whole strip taken on the same orbit using only a small number of GCPs on the top area of the strip. This method enables extraction of orientation parameters of the scene along the strip that is needed to generate DEMs. Consequently, we were able to extract DEMs over the areas without accurate GCPs obtained by GPS surveying per each scene. Assessment of accuracy was carried out using USGS DTED. DEMs generated from the orbit modelling technique suggested showed satisfactory performance when quantitative analysis of accuracy assessment was carried out.

In the chemical process industries, accidents have a high potential and large effects on catastrophic results. Therefore the safety management for accident prevention plays a crucial role to guarantee the process safety. For these reasons, many systematic methods for safety management system have been widely employed in the fields of chemical processes. PSM (Process safety management) is one of most representative methods. The audit system, which is one of PSM system components, evaluates the performance of PMS system. However, most existing safety audit systems are not systematic and these are performed based on knowledges and experiences of various specialist. Moreover, the safety audit is only performed based on each independent technical component. So, the results of safety audit are not a quantitative index but only a series of commentaries. Finally, it is very difficult to obtain the comparison with other plants or industries. In this study, the novel systematic method and index-based accident database of auditing safety management systems for quantitative assessment are proposed. First, the elements of safety audit replace technical methods to categories of accident database. The F-N curve of each category for accident database is employed to derive the index for quantitative assessment. The Accidental Factor Risk Index (AFRI) is suggested for evaluating the effect of each element in accident database and safety audit system. The safety audit can be modified according to the proposed index.

사회간접자본(SOC)은 국가 산업부문과 국민경제에 매우 큰 영향을 끼치는 생산요소로 이에 대한 투자는 경제성장에 있어 필수적이며, 국가 경쟁력을 결정하는 주요 요소이다. 이러한 중요성을 인식하여 정부에서는 지난 1999년부터 예비타당성조사 제도를 도입하여 SOC 사업시행 유 무를 검토하고 있으나 과학적 투자평가방법의 미비, 조사 결과의 신뢰성 저하 등 근본적인 문제가 끊임없이 제기되고 있다. 이를 개선하고자 수행된 주요기관의 선행연구는 대부분 수요추정 및 경제성 분석 중심으로 진행되었고, 예비타당성조사의 주요 단계인 정책적 분석에 대한 연구진행은 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 관련 학문과의 적절한 융합과 조화가 요구되는 (예비)타당성조사의 정책적 분석단계에 대하여 현행 전문가의 경험과 관련 자료에 의한 정성적 평가를 개선하고자 가치공학(VE)의 성능평가기법을 활용한 정량적 의사결정모델을 개발 제안하여 분석결과의 정량화를 유도하고 체계적 분석절차에 의한 전략적 판단도구로의 활용과 신규투자사업 목표에 대한 정책적 측면의 가치향상에 기여하고자 한다.

We introduce a new research assessment measure, called the research excellence index. The measure, which we denote by RE-index, accurately assesses the research performance of a researcher. The methodology used in deriving the RE-index tackles many of the flaws of popular research performance indicators such as publication counts, citation counts, and the h and g indices. A dataset is introduced, which takes advantage of the wide coverage of Scopus and the Library of Congress, and, at the same time, deals with the Scopus database depth problem. For an academic publication x, a prestige-type and length scores are assigned, and if x is published in an academic periodical publication J, the stature of J is identified through a quartile score. The three scores are used to assign a value score to every academic publication, and cited academic publications are given citation scores that encompass both cases of including and excluding self-citations. The foregoing scores are used to derive another set of scores measuring the combined qualitative and quantitative aspects of the creative work, citations of creative work, informative work and citations of informative work of a researcher. The scores take into consideration co-authorship. From these scores, two versions of the RE-index for a researcher are derived, covering the cases of including and excluding self-citations. The new measure is calculated for two mathematicians.

본 연구는 표면 파라미터 추정시 고려하는 주요 인자별로 각 조정모델들을 분류하고 그들의 추정정확도를 사전분석함으로써 이들 모델링 인자들이 각 대상파라미터의 추정에 주는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 현재 지표면형상에 대한 정보를 취득하기 위하여 라이다영상, 항공영상, SAR영상 등 다양한 자료가 활용되고 있고, 이들로부터 지표면 형상을 정량적으로 분석하기 위해서는 임의지점 주위의 관측값들을 이용하여 해당 지점의 형상을 구체적으로 파악하게 된다. 이러한 형상정보는 관측값 범위지정, 가중치방식, 그리고 수학적모델링 등 여러 인자들을 선정하여 산정할 수 있지만, 각 선정인자에 따라 표면의 형상정보는 다르게 산정되고 또한 그 정확도도 상이하게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 표면의 형상정보추출시 조정계산 인자들 따른 이러한 정확도를 비교함으로써 인자별 추정 정확도 변화 경향에 대한 진단을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 표면형상정보로 표고, 경사, 곡면의 2차계수를 대상으로 하고, 수학적함수, 커널크기, 가중유형별로 조정계산모델들을 구성하여 사전통계량을 계산하였고, 이에 따라 전통계량 변화를 비교 분석함으로써, 각 조정모델의 추정성능을 조정계산인자에 따라 정량적으로 비교분석하였다.

Cool roofs are currently being emerged as one of important mechanism to save energy in relation to the building. This paper reviews worldwide experiences (USA, Japan and EU etc) for the potential benefits cool roofs offer in relation to building energy saving for comparison purposes. It is confirmed that there is a significant potential to the energy saving by introducing the cool roof in a Korean climate because of similarity in terms of HDD (Heating Degree Day) and CDD (Cooling Degree Day) as those countries reviewed. Such a comparative study highlights that the type of measurements performed and the quantitative parameters reported from the countries should be standardized in Korean context in order to implement further comparable experiments for scientifically sound investigations. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference in implementing a Nation-wide cool roofing strategy in the central and local governments since a suitable technical, more objective direction has been proposed based on the measured, fully quantitative performance of the involved components of a cool roof system in the global context. From this critical review, a very important step has been made concerning the practicality of cool roof in Korean context. Ultimately, the suggestion in this paper will greatly contribute to opening new possibilities for introducing cool roof in this country, proposed as an initial aim of this paper.

With the development of synthetic dyes, excellent dyeing properties and massive production became possible. On the other hand, natural dyeing technology has gradually disappeared. However, the international environmental and human safety requirements of the apparel and textile industry are increasing, and there is a growing interest in safer and more environmentally friendly products. Accordingly, the public's interest in natural dyeing is increasing. To meet these demands, it is first necessary to clarify the stages of production and distribution of natural dyes. It is necessary to evaluate whether the product is a natural dye product and study the suitability of the natural dye product through qualitative and quantitative assessment of the indicator components of the natural dye. Typical of three natural dyes did qualitative and quantitative analysis by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS. Products dyed using natural dye three products were analyzed, and the presence or absence of detection of each indicator components was confirmed to confirm whether the product was dyed using natural dyes.
