  • This paper is devoted to the foldness theory of implicative ideals in BCK-algebras. We use the fuzzy point concept to give some characterizations of fuzzy n-fold implicative ideals and establish some relationships with various n-fold ideals. We also construct some algorithms for studying the foldness of implicative ideals in BCK-algebras.

  • 국내 강우발생은 기상학적인 영향으로 인하여 장마기간(6~8월)에 집중되어있으며, 최근에는 기후변화의 영향으로 짧은 시간에 많은 양의 강우가 발생하는 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있다. 또한, 시간과 지역에 관계없이 국지성호우의 발생빈도 역시 높아지고 있다. 집중호우와 국지성호우는 짧은 시간에 하천수위를 상승시키므로 홍수로 인한 물적 피해가 크게 발생된다. 국토교통부에서는 그동안 홍수예보에 필수적인 우량, 하천수위 등 기초자료를 확보하기 위해 관측소(500여개) 및 홍수량 측정지점(80여개)을 확대하였으며, 관측된 자료는 모두 전산망에 기록, 보관하고 있다. 또한 한강, 금강, 낙동강, 영산강의 경우 홍수통제소에서 홍수량 예측 계산 등을 통해 홍수 예경보를 실시하고 있다. 하지만 4대강을 제외한 중소하천의 홍수예경보에 대한 정보를 찾아볼 수 없으며, 현재 연구가 진행중이다. 강우-유출모형을 활용하여 중소하천의 강우와 유출의 관계를 해석하는 과정은 다양한 인자를 고려해야하지만 중소하천의 경우 하천단면 등 하천자료가 충분히 구축되어 있지 못하므로 유출량 계산에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중소하천의 홍수위 예측을 위해 한강의 과거 수위와 현재 수위만을 활용하여 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network, ANN)의 학습을 진행하였다. 첫 번째로 ANN을 활용하여 한강유역 중 홍수예보지점(잠수교)의 수위변화에 직접적으로 연관이 있는 5개 수위관측소를 선정하였으며, 과거 장마기간(6~8월)관측 자료를 활용하였다. 두 번째로 홍수예보지점(잠수교)과 5개 수위관측소의 과거 관측수위(2009~2014년)를 인공신경망의 학습자료로 활용하여 모델을 훈련시켰으며, 마지막으로 2015년의 관측수위를 이용하여 ANN의 학습정확도에 대한 검증을 하였다. 본 과정은 수위예측을 위한 ANN의 훈련단계로 Training/Test를 반복하였으며, 학습결과와 2015년 관측수위 비교시 $R^2=0.987$과 상관계수 r=0.994로 유사한 패턴을 보였으나 최대치와 최소치에 대한 오차가 있음을 확인하였다.

  • A hybrid RANS/LES approach, based on the Limited Numerical Scales concept, is applied to the numerical simulation of the flow around a square cylinder. The key feature of this approach is a blending between two eddy-viscosities, one given by the $k-{\varepsilon}$ RANS model and the other by the Smagorinsky LES closure. A mixed finite-element/finite-volume formulation is used for the numerical discretization on unstructured grids. The results obtained with the hybrid approach are compared with those given by RANS and LES simulations for three different grid resolutions; comparisons with experimental data and numerical results in the literature are also provided. It is shown that, if the grid resolution is adequate for LES, the hybrid model recovers the LES accuracy. For coarser grid resolutions, the blending criterion appears to be effective to improve the accuracy of the results with respect to both LES and RANS simulations.

  • This paper is primarily concerned with multi-path routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). We propose a novel associativity-based on-demand source routing protocol for MANETs that attempts to establish relatively stable path(s) between the source and the destination. We introduce a new notion for gauging the temporal and spatial stability of nodes, and hence the paths interconnecting them. The proposed protocol is compared with other unipath (DSDV and AODV) and multi-path (AOMDV) routing protocols. We investigate the performance in terms of throughput, normalized routing overhead, packet delivery ratio etc. All on-demand protocols show good performance in mobile environments with less traffic overhead compared to proactive approaches, but they are prone to longer end-to-end delays due to route discovery and maintenance.

  • This study was designed to identify beliefs about physical activity in cancer patients. Semi- structured interviews were conducted with 20 patients under treatment, who were invited to identify perceived barriers for not adopting a physically active lifestyle and to express their beliefs about physical activity. Content analyses revealed five main categories of beliefs including four types of barriers: (a) barriers related to the side effects of treatment; (b) barriers related to a lack of perceived physical abilities; (c) barriers related to a lack of interest for physical activity; (d) beliefs about the negative effects of physical activity, and (e) beliefs about the positive effects of physical activity. These findings extend the existing literature by indicating how stereotypes may play a role in explaining sedentary lifestyles in cancer patients.

  • The Integrated Flood Management (IFM) concept intends to obtain the maximum of benefits from the use of floodplains and the minimum of losses from flooding which seems to be the ideal outcome of flood management. For this, different strategies are recommended in order to reach this objective. The implementation of this concept leads to a resilience approach for the adaptive management of floods and is currently on its way to be better understood and integrated as part of the water resources management. There exist a fair amount of strategies to adapt to flooding that have been recommended or already implemented either as planned or autonomous ways of adaptation but their effectivity depends on the specific case where they are applied. This is why this paper looks to give a better overview of the different recommended or implemented strategies by analyzing them regarding their inherent advantages and disadvantages.

  • In order to analyze the healing effectiveness of rock salt cracks affected by the applied stresses and time, we used the ultrasonic technology to monitor the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) variations for different initial stress-damaged rock salts during self-healing experiments. The self-healing experiments were to create different conditions to improve the microcracks closure or recrystallized, which the self-healing effect of damaged salt specimens were analyzed during the recovery period about 30 days. We found that: The ultrasonic pulse velocity of the damaged rock salts increases rapidly during the first 9 days recovery, and the values gradually increase to reach constant values after 30 days. The damaged value and the healed value were identified based on the variation of the wave velocity. The damaged values of the specimens that are subject to higher initial damage stress are still keeping in large after 30 days recovery under the same recovery condition It is interesting that the damage and the healing were not in the linear relationship, and there also existed a damage threshold for salt cracks healing ability. When the damage degree is less than the threshold, the self-healing ratio of rock salt is increased with the increase in damage degree. However, while the damage degree exceeds the threshold, the self-healing ratio is decreased with the increase in damage.
