This paper focuses on the vibration control of long-span reticulated steel structures under multi-dimensional earthquake excitation. The control system and strategy are constructed based on Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers. The LQR and Hrovat controlling algorithm is adopted to determine optimal MR damping force, while the modified Bingham model (MBM) and inverse neural network (INN) is proposed to solve the real-time controlling current. Three typical long-span reticulated structural systems are detailedly analyzed, including the double-layer cylindrical reticulated shell, single-layer spherical reticulated shell, and cable suspended arch-truss structure. Results show that the proposed control strategy can reduce the displacement and acceleration effectively for three typical structural systems. The displacement control effect under the earthquake excitation with different PGA is similar, while for the cable suspended arch-truss, the acceleration control effect increase distinctly with the earthquake excitation intensity. Moreover, for the cable suspended arch-truss, the strand stress variation can also be effectively reduced by the MR dampers, which is very important for this kind of structure to ensure that the cable would not be destroyed or relaxed.

We present a new code for solving non-LTE radiative transfer problems in a general grid (RIG). RIG develops from RATRAN code (Hogerheijde & van der Tak 2000) using the Accelerated Monte-Carlo method, and it can cope with line overlap effect among multiple molecular and atomic species. In this algorithm we make grids in arbitrary coordinates adequate to the problem, but, on the other hand, photons propagate in the Cartesian coordinates. For spherical, cylindrical and other well defined coordinate, the problem of tracing photon's path reduces to solving simple quadratic equations. For example, the outflow in the star formation have high dynamic range in scales from a few AU to ~ 0.1 pc and have also cylindrical symmetry. So, we have used (r, ${\alpha}$) coordinate system, where r is the distance from the origin and ${\alpha}$ is z/ R2 in the cylindrical coordinate of (R,z). The (r, ${\alpha}$) coordinate realizes the density - power function of r - and temperature distributions of the problems with smaller numbers of grid than the cylindrical coordinate does, and the former consumes less time to solve the problems than the latter.

Video mosaicing techniques have been widely used in virtual reality environments. Especially in GIS field, video mosaics are becoming more and more common in representing urban environments. Such applications mainly use spherical or panoramic mosaics that are based on images taken from a rotating camera around its nodal point. The viewpoint, however, is limited to location within a small area. On the other hand, 2D-mosaics, which are based on images taken from a translating camera, can acquire data in wide area. The 2D-mosaics still have some problems : it can‘t be applied to images taken from a rotational camera in large angle. To compensate those problems , we proposed a novel method for creating video mosaics in 3D space. The proposed algorithm consists of 4 steps: feature -based optical flow detection, camera orientation, 2D-image projection, and image registration in 3D space. All of the processes are fully automatic and successfully implemented and tested with real images.

A novel imaging system for High-resolution Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography (HUTT) and soft tissue differentiation methodology for the HUTT system are presented. The critical innovation of the HUTT system includes the use of sub-millimeter transducer elements for both transmitter and receiver arrays and multi-band analysis of the first-arrival pulse. The first-arrival pulse is detected and extracted from the received signal (i.e., snippet) at each azimuthal and angular location of a mechanical tomographic scanner in transmission mode. Each extracted snippet is processed to yield a multi-spectral vector of attenuation values at multiple frequency bands. These vectors form a 3-D sinogram representing a multi-spectral augmentation of the conventional 2-D sinogram. A filtered backprojection algorithm is used to reconstruct a stack of multi-spectral images for each 2-D tomographic slice that allow tissue characterization. A novel methodology for soft tissue differentiation using spectral target detection is presented. The representative 2-D and 3-D HUTT images formed at various frequency bands demonstrate the high-resolution capability of the system. It is shown that spherical objects with diameter down to 0.3㎜ can be detected. In addition, the results of soft tissue differentiation and characterization demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative soft tissue analysis for possible detection of lesions or cancerous tissue.

K-means는 알고리즘의 단순함과 효율적인 구현이 가능함으로 인해 군집화를 위해 현재까지 널리 사용되는 방법 중 하나이다. 하지만 K-means는 집단의 개수가 사전에 결정되어야 하는 근본적인 문제점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 BIC(Bayesian information criterion) 점수를 이용하여 효율적으로 집단의 개수를 추정할 수 있는 X-means 알고리즘을 확장한 두 가지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 기본적으로 X-means 방법을 따르면서 집단이 임의의 분산 행렬을 가질 수 있도록 함으로써 X-means 알고리즘이 원형 집단만을 허용함에 따른 over-fitting을 개선한다. 제안한 방법은 하나의 집단에서 시작하여 계속해서 집단을 나누어가는 하향식 방법으로, BIC score를 최대로 증가시키는 집단을 분할해 나간다. 제안한 알고리즘은 Modified X-means(MX-means)와 Generalized X-means(GX-means)의 두 가지로, 전자는 K-means 알고리즘을, 후자는 EM 알고리즘을 사용하여 현재 주어진 집단들에서 최적의 분할을 찾아낸다. MX-means는 GX-means보다 그 속도에서 앞서지만 집단들이 중첩 된 경우에는 올바른 집단을 찾아낼 수 없는 단점이 있다. GX-means는 실행 속도가 느린 단점이 있지만 집단들이 중첩된 경우에도 안정적으로 집단들을 찾아낼 수 있다. 이러한 점들은 일련의 실험을 통해서 확인할 수 있으며, 제안한 방법들이 기존의 방법들에 비해 나은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

서론 :정위방사선치료는 높은 정밀도로 크기가 작고 구형인 병변에 국한하여 방사선을 조사할 수 있는 기술이지만 병변의 모양이 구형이 아닌 경우에는 병변 주변의 정상조직에 고선량의 방사선이 조사될 수 있다. 본 연구는 독립턱을 부분적으로 폐쇄하여 방사선량 분포를 개선하는 방법, 선량계산과 선량분포의 도시방법을 보고하고자 한다. 방법 :정위방사선치료 시의 호의 궤적상 병변은 방사선조사영역 내에 포함하면서 주변 정상조직을 최대한 차폐하도록 원형 콜리메이터와 독립턱 부분페쇄를 적절히 조합하였다. 물 펜톰과 마이크로 전리함을 이용하여 출력인자와 조직최대선량비를 측정하여 이론적 계산치와 비교하였다. 필름선량측정계를 이용하여 5 cm 깊이에서의 심부선량분포를 측정하여 계산치와 비교하였다. 이와 같은 측정자료를 자가 개발한 치료계획 프로그램에 반영하여 뇌전이 환자의 정위 방사선치료 선량계산과 도시에 적용하여 원형 콜리메이터만을 이용하였을 경우와 독립턱 부분폐쇄를 추가하였을 경우의 병변과 정상 뇌의 선량체적표를 각각 비교하였다. 결과 : 5.0 cm 직경의 원형 콜리메이터를 사용하고 한 쪽 독립턱을 중심축으로부터 30 mm, 15.5 mm, 8.6 mm, 0 mm 까지 열었을 때 측정한 출력인자와 조직최대선량비는 계산치와 각각 0.5%와 0.3%의 오차범위로 잘 부합하였다. 필름선량계로 얻은 5 cm 깊이의 심부선량분포도 역시 계산치와 잘 부합하였다. 자가 개발한 치료계획 프로그램으로 병변과 정상 뇌의 선량체적표를의 상호 비교를 통하여 독립턱 부분폐쇄를 적용한 경우에 있어서 보다 개선된 선량분포를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 결론 : 정위방사선치료에 있어서 독립턱의 부분폐쇄를 적용함으로써 보다 개선된 선량분포계획을 얻을 수 있으며 이를 적용하여 비교적 크기가 크고 모양이 불규칙한 병변에 대하여도 정위방사선치료를 확대 적용할 수 있겠다.

The Radio Navigation System(R. N. S.) has been progressed consistantly with the development of electric-electronic engineering techniques since the R. D. E had been developed in 1910. The R. N. S. mostly depends on either Hyperbolic Navigation System(H. N. S.) or Spherical Navigation System(S. N. S.) in the ocean, and on Rectangular Navigation System (R. N. S.) in the air near the airport or an a combinations of the above systems in both area. Another effective R. N. S may be the Ellipse-Hyperbola Navigation System(E-H N. S.), which is proposed and named such in this paper. The equations calculating GDOP are derived and the GDOP values are calculated in the case of H. N. S., S. N. S, and E-H. N. S., respectively, for the specified case that four transmitting stations are arranged on the apex of a square, Then the GDOP diagrams of above navigation systems are presented for qualitative comparison in this paper. To measure the distances from the receiver to the stations in S. N. S., and/or the sum of distances to two stations in E-H N. S., the time synchronization between the transmitter clocks and the receiver clock is a major premise. The author has proposed the algorithm for getting this synchronmization utilizing the by S. N. S. or E-H N. S while GDOPs of those are relatively good. Even though clock synchronization error is a voidable due to the fix error used, the simulated results shows that the position accuracy of S. N. S. and E-H N. S. by the proposed method is far upgraded compared with that determined by H. N. S. directly, as far as the outer region of transmitter arrangement is concerned.

An efficient large eddy simulation algorithm is used to compute surface pressure distributions on an eleven story (target) building on the NIST campus. Local meteorology, neighboring buildings, topography and large vegetation (trees) all play an important part in determining the flows and therefore the pressures experienced by the target. The wind profile imposed at the upstream surface of the computational domain follows a power law with an exponent representing a suburban terrain. This profile accounts for the flow retardation due to friction from the surface of the earth, but does not include fluctuations that would naturally occur in this flow. The effect of neighboring buildings on the time dependent surface pressures experienced by the target is examined. Comparison of the pressure fluctuations on the single target building alone with those on the target building in situ show that, owing to vortices shed by the upstream buildings, fluctuations are larger when such buildings are present. Even when buildings are lateral to or behind the target, the pressure disturbances generate significantly different flows around this building. A simple grid-free mathematical model of a tree is presented in which the trunk and the branches are each represented by a collection of spherical particles strung together like beads on a string. The drag from the tree, determined as the sum of the drags of the component particles, produces an oscillatory, spreading wake of slower fluid, suggesting that the behavior of trees as wind breakers can be modeled usefully.

We made a study on real-time determination method for relative position using the laser-measured distance data between satellites. We numerically performed the determination of relative position in accordance with extended Kalman filter algorithm using the vectors obtained through nonlinear equation of relative motion, laser simulator for distance measurement, and attitude determination of chief satellite. Because the spherical parameters of relative distance and direction are used, there occur some changes in precision depending on changes in relative distance when determining the relative position. As a result of simulation, it was possible to determine the relative position with several millimeter-level errors at a distance of 10 km, and sub-millimeter level errors at a distance of 1 km. In addition, we performed the determination of relative position assuming the case that global positioning system data was not received for long hours to see the impact of determination of chief satellite orbit on the determination of relative position. The determination of precise relative position at a long distance carried out in this study can be used for scientific mission using the satellite formation flying.
