This paper deals with the topology optimized design of the riser support structures for floating production storage and offloading units (FPSOs) under global and local loading conditions. For a preliminary study and validation of the numerical approach, a simplified plate under static loading is first evaluated with the representative topology optimization methods, the Homogenization Design Method (HDM) and Density Method (DM) or Simple Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP). In the context of the corresponding riser support structures, the design problem is formulated such that structure shapes based on design domain variables are determined by minimizing the compliance subject to a mass target, considering the stress criterion. An initial design model is generated based on an actual FPSO riser support configuration. The topology optimization results present improved design performances under various loading conditions, while staying within the allowable limit of the offshore area.

Purpose: Caring for a vulnerable premature baby is a challenging task, but some mothers experience growth through that process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing post-traumatic growth in mothers with premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: A correlational research design was used and 105 mothers of premature infants were recruited from an online community. Data were collected from January 15 to January 25, 2019. Post-traumatic growth was measured using the Korean version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The final model developed in this study explained 45.5% of post-traumatic growth (F=13.66, p<.001). Resilience (β=.54, p<.001) was the strongest predictor of post-traumatic growth, followed by the age of the mother when giving birth (β=.17, p=.028) and current employment status (β=.17, p=.049). Conclusion: For mother with premature infants to grow psychologically after their experience, it may be needed to support them to develop and strengthen their resilience through either education or their own support network.

Purpose: Long-life housing causes unavoidable cost increase while providing higher durability, flexibility, and repair easiness compare to those of normal apartment. The effectiveness should be evaluated considering the level of passing mandatory Long-life housing Certification System when supplying specific size of apartment complex. Thus, it is essential to identify the estimated costs and the obtainable grade by applying the optional element technologies selectively during the design phase. This study aimed to suggest the technology influence matrix(TIM) to support decision-making of element technologies in planning stage of long-life housing. Method: The technology influence matrix was established based on the property information about applicable element technologies for long-life housing such as construction methods, interface types, cost data, and certification-related characteristics. The usefulness of TIM was verified through case study, in which TIM was applied to the exclusive housing unit and the influences from four areas of quantity, cost, certification, and schedule were identified and calculated. Result: TIMs covering four areas representing the essential planning factors were developed, and are expected to contribute to sound decision-making in planning long-life housing.

최근 Khronos에서 OpenGL ES 2.0 API 표준을 배포 하면서 임베디드 시스템의 그래픽 프로세서에서 능률적인 쉐이더 프로그램이 가능하게 되었다. 그 결과 모바일 기기에서도 OpenGL ES 2.0을 지원하는 그래픽 프로세서를 요구하게 되었다. OpenGL ES 2.0을 지원하기 위해서 명령어의 길이의 증가가 요구되고, 이는 메모리 용량의 증가를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 명령어를 사용하는 새로운 명령어를 제안한다. 이 명령어는 가변 길이 방법과 유닛구조를 채택한 명령어 구조이다. 제안된 명령어 구조는 OpenGL ES 2.0 API를 지원하고 명령어 필드 낭비를 줄일 수 있도록 최대 4개의 32비트 유닛 명령어가 가변적으로 조합되어 수행된다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the experience of nurse in comprehensive nursing care. Methods: Experiential data collected from 9 nurses through in-depth interviews. Participants were selected from nurses working in the comprehensive nursing care unit at general hospital. The main question was "Can you describe your experience in the comprehensive nursing care unit?" All interviews were recorded and transcribed, then analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: Nine themes were derived from the analysis: 'Practice nursing care', 'Feel thankful of the client', 'Difficulty in nursing due to absence of patients' guardian', 'Tired of over-demanding patient and distrust of guardian', 'Confusion regarding one's identity as a nurse', 'Not enough to support system', 'Insufficient pre-training for nurse and client', 'Requirement of work establishment for nurse and nurse aid', 'Concerns about low rewards and high safety accidents'. Conclusion: As a comprehensive nursing service, the nurses provided total patient care, and patient satisfaction and expression of appreciation increased. However, disadvantages were identified, such as patients' excessive needs, communication difficulties, lack of support systems, low compensation, and a high number of safety accidents. Therefore, systematic comprehensive nursing will be achieved if these shortcomings are addressed.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 슬래브 궤도를 가지는 교량의 사용성 검토에 있어 단위 축하중, 단위 수직 단차, 단위 회전에 의해 발생되는 레일 지지점의 작용력에 대한 기준 값을 구하였다. 해석방법에 있어서는 레일이 탄성 스프링에 의해 연속적으로 지지되는 모델과 이산적으로 지지되는 모델이 이용되었다. 해석결과 얻어진 레일 지지점에서의 작용력은 콘크리트 궤도의 사용성 검토에서 참조되고 있는 DS 804 기준에 제시된 값과 비교되였으며, 그 결과는 잘 일치하였다. 또한, 레일 지지점의 간격과 체결장치의 강성이 레일 지지점에서의 작용력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 IMU(inertial measurement unit)의 데이터를 이용하여 사람의 앉은 자세를 분류하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 IMU의 데이터를 주성분 분석법(principle component analysis: PCA)을 이용하여 특징 벡터를 3개로 축소시켰고, RBF(radial basis function) 커널을 적용한 서포트 벡터 머신(support vector machine: SVM)을 이용하여 자세를 분류하였다. 데이터의 측정을 위하여 건강한 성인 3명을 대상으로 실험을 실시하였고, 데이터의 수집을 위하여 넥밴드 형태의 이어폰에 IMU를 내장한 장치를 개발하여 착용하였다. 피험자는 각각 neutral position, smartphoning, writing의 세 가지 앉은 자세에 대하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 제안하는 PCA-SVM 알고리즘은 특징 벡터의 차원을 25%로 축소시키면서도 95%의 신뢰를 보였다.

This paper aims to analyse facilities and characteristics of management for 21 model schools' open education system. So, we analyzed the class management and the methods of open education, teacher's mind, the shape and form of study group and we investigated teachers' satisfaction rate about the physical space. As a result, it is considered that the change for structure of learning space unit is needed because of the limitation in standard class size by the rule for construction. Considering the decrease of real using space by the space of learning materials or learning furniture, it should enlarge the structure of learning space unit or decrease the number of students. And to use multipurpose space practically as a place of study, it need that the multiple support of study program for teachers by government, support in course of study, giving training opportunity to teachers, distribution of personal management.

본 논문은 EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network)에서 IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) 서비스의 멀티캐스트 QoS (Quality of Service)를 제공하기 위해서 ONU (Optical Network Unit) 수 기반 우선순위 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 멀티캐스트 효율은 얼마나 많은 패킷들로 복사되어 전송하는가에 의해서 결정되기 때문에 멀티캐스트 QoS는 패킷 수신기의 수의 영향을 받는다. 따라서 제안하는 기법은 많은 사용자가 이용하는 IPTV 멀티캐스트 서비스에 높은 우선순위를 부여하기 위해서 멀티캐스트 트래픽을 받는 ONU 수를 기반으로 우선순위를 부여하고 높은 우선순위의 멀티캐스트 패킷을 우선적으로 전송한다. 그리하여 제안하는 기법은 인기 있는 IPTV 서비스들에게 망이 혼잡한 경우에도 좋은 QoS (적은 패킷 손실과 작은 대기 지연)와 안정적인 서비스를 제공한다.

An abdominal brace is a recommended treatment for patients with lumbar spinal disorders. However, due to the nature of the static brace, it uniformly compresses the lumbar region, which can weaken the lumbar muscles or create a psychological dependence that worsens the condition of the spine when worn for an extended period of time. Due to these issues, doctors limit the wearing time when prescribing it to patients. In this paper, we propose a device that can dynamically provide abdominal pressure and support according to the lumbar motion. The proposed device is a wearable robot in the form of a brace, with actuators and a driving unit mounted on the brace. To enhance wearability and reduce the weight of the device, worm gears actuator and a multi-pulley mechanism were adopted. Based on the spinal motion of the wearer measured by the Inertia measurement unit sensors, the drives wire by driving pulley, which provide tension to the multi-pulley mechanism on both sides, dynamically tightening or loosening the device. Finally, the device can dynamically provide abdominal pressure and support. We describe the hardware and system configuration of the device and demonstrate its potential through basic control experiments.
