  • A well-defined relative degree, which is one of the basic assumptions in adaptive control or nonlinear synthesis problems, is addressed. It is shown that this is essentially a necessary condition for asymptotic tracking in discrete-time nonlinear systems. To show this, tracking problems are defined, and a local linear input-output behavior of a discrete-time system is introduced in relation to a well-defined relative degree. It is then shown that if a plant is invertible and accessible from the origin and a compensator solves the local asymptotic tracking problem, then the plant necessarily has a well-defined relative degree at the origin.

  • The purpose of this study is to find success factors of knowledge management in Korean firms, confirm them empirically, and verify their relative importance in terms of company size and industry type. The major studies on the knowledge management were deliberately selected and interpretively analyzed to find the success factors of Korean firms. As a result of the analysis, five success factors(top management's will, evaluation reward, organizational culture, knowledge management system, organizational structure) have been found. The empirical researches to make certain whether the above five factors derived are actually true or not have been separately performed by using questionnaire method. Based on the data collected, it is found that all five factors are significant. The degree of relative importance among the success factors of knowledge management in Korean firms has been found as: (i)top management's will, (ii)organizational culture, (iii)evaluation-reward, (iv)knowledge management system, (v)organizational structure. In company size, large firm's degree of relative importance among the success factors are: (i)top management's will, (ii)organizational culture, (iii)evaluation-reward, (iv)knowledge management system, (v) organizational structure. And medium-small firm's degree of relative importance among the success factors of knowledge management in Korean firms has been found as: (i)top management's will, (ii)organizational culture, (iii) evaluation-reward, (iv)knowledge management system, (v)organizational structure. Finally, in type of industry, manufactural firm's degree of relative importance among the success factors of knowledge management in Korean firms has been found as: (i)top management's will, (ii)organizational culture, (iii)evaluation-reward, (iv)knowledge management system, (v)organizational structure. And non-manufactural firm's degree of relative importance among the success factors of knowledge management in Korean firms are: (i)top management's will, (ii)organizational culture, (iii)evaluation-reward, (iv)knowledge management system, (v)organizational structure.

  • The decoupling design for the one-degree-of-freedom controller system is treated within the $H_{\infty}$ framework. In the present study, we demonstrate that the $H_{\infty}$ performance problem in the decoupling design is reduced into interpolation problems on scalar functions. To guarantee the properness of decoupling controllers and the overall transfer matrix, the relative degree conditions on the interpolating scalar functions are derived. To find the interpolating functions with relative degree constraints, Nevanlinna-Pick algorithm with starting function constraint is utilized in the present study. An illustrative example is given to provide details regarding the solution.

  • Radial variation of crystalline state in a stem of Chamaecyparis obtusa E. was examined by x-ray diffraction analyses. Relative crystallinity and degree of crystallite orientation showed significant differences between juvenile and adult wood. That is, Relative crystallinity increased with increasing the age from pith to about 20th annual ring, after which it reached a more or less constant value. On the other hand, degree of crystallite orientation decreased outward from pith to about 10 years and presented almost a constant value thereafter. Crystal width by Scherrer's equation did not show any significant differences between juvenile and adult wood. Therefore, it was considered that crystallinity index and degree of crystallite orientation by x-ray diffraction method could be used for evaluating wood quality.

  • For a class of multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems which perform a given task repetitively, an extended type of a direct leaning control (DLC) is proposed using the information on the (vector) relative degree of a multi-input multi-output system. Existing DLC methods are observed to be applied to a limited class of systems with the relative degree one and a new DLC law is suggested which can be applied to systems having higher relative degree. Using the proposed control law, the control input corresponding to the new desired output trajectory is synthesized directly based on the control inputs obtained from the learning process for other output trajectories. To show the validity and the performance of the proposed DLC, simulations are performed for trajectory tracking control of a two-axis SCARA robot.

  • In this paper, an extended type of a direct learning control(DLC) method is proposed for the effective control of systems which perform a given task repetitively. DLC methods have been suggested to overcome the defects of iterative learning control, the learning process should be resumed from the beginning even if a slight change occurs in the desired output pattern. If a given desired output trajectory is "proportional" to the output trajectories which are learned previously, we can obtain the desired control input directly without the iterative learning process by using the DLC. First, most existing DLC methods are shown to be applicable only to single-input single-output systems with the relative degree one and then, an extended type of DLC is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems having the relative degree more than or equal to one by using the known relative degree of a nonlinear system. By the simulation results for the arbitrary nonlinear system with the relative degree more than one, the validity and the performance of the proposed DLC method are examined.

  • In this study, the change of getechnical properties of sand due to cementation was investigated by undrained triaxial test of isotropicallv consolidated sample. For inducing the cementation, $5\sim20%$(sand weight) gypsum were included in the sand and cured in the mold under the overburden pressure 55kPa. The yielding strength and stiffness of cemented sand were increased and also the aspects of effective pore water pressure were changed as the degree of cementation and the relative density. Generally the degree of cementation exerted more influence on the behavior of cemented sand than the relative density.

  • A novel approach for analysis of criticality with respect to path and to activity in networks with fuzzy activity durations is proposed. After recalling the Yager ranking method, the relative degree of criticality of activities and paths are defined. An efficient algorithm based on path enumeration to compute the relative degree of criticality of activities and paths in networks with fuzzy durations is proposed. Examples of former researches are employed to validate the proposed approach. The proposed algorithm has been tested on real world project networks and experimental results have shown that the algorithm can calculate the relative degree of criticality of activities and paths in a reasonable time.

  • Tuberous roots of yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia Poeppig & Endlicher) were stored in different temperature and relative humidity conditions after curing for 30 days. Non-decadent percentage, moisture contents, brix degree and sugars were investigated. Whether temperature and relative humidity were high or not, most of the tuberous root decayed during storage, and the decayed percentage was increased as long as the storage period. In final, only 13% of tuberous roots remain intact at 4$^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity condition to be appeared best storage condition in this experiment and all of the tuberous root decayed in other storage conditions after 6 months. Moisture contents decreased a little in the high relative humidity. Even though tuberous roots decayed when stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 2$0^{\circ}C$, most of brix degree reached about 17.0. Fructose, glucose and sucrose contents were 1.65, 1.15 and 0.35% at early storage period, and 1.6, 1.1 and 0.5% after 6 months at 4$^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity, respectively. In 3 temperature conditions, fructose and glucose increased for a month and then decreased successively afterwards, but sucrose increased gradually during 6 months. Also in 4 relative humidity conditions, fructose, glucose and sucrose contents were changed with similar to that of in temperature. Changes of fructose and glucose were the same except on 4$^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity, that was lower level than moisture of tuberous root.
