The elastic analysis of floor slabs using the p-version of finite element method encounters stress singularities at certain types of reentrant corners, openings and cut-outs. Results obtained using the computer code based on C$\^$o/-hierarchic plate element formulated by Reissner-Mindlin theory are compared with theoretical predictions and with computational results reported in the literature. The convergence rate of h-, p- and hp-version can be estimated on the basis of the energy norm in global sense. If accuracy in terns of the number of degrees-of-freedom is used as a criterion, the solutions presented here are the most efficient that have been published up to date. Examples are the rhombic plate with the obtuse angle of 150o and the square plate with cut-outs.

HP Workstation 및 IBM PC에서 사용 가능한 부수로 해석 코드 MATRA $\alpha$-버전을 개발하였다. 이 코드는 정확도 향상 및 사용자 편리를 위해 COBRA-IV-I코드에 비해 여러가지 기능들이 추가되었으며, 코드의 적용 범위를 신형원자로의 비정방형 집합체 노심에 확장할 수 있도록 압력손실 모형 등이 개선되었다. 또한 이상 유동장에서의 예측 정확도 향상을 위하여 부수로 잔의 횡방향 전달 모형을 개선하였다. 코드의 예측 성능을 평가하기 위해 세 중류의 집합체 유동분포 및 엔탈피 분포 실험 자료와 비교하였으며, 그 결과 기존의 COBRA-IV-I코드보다 향상된 결과를 보였다.

Choropleth map is a type of thematic maps in which areal units are shaded with a color or pattern that symbolizes some characteristic of the mapped unit. CMS was first developed to produce choropleth maps on ordinary microcomputer environments in 1988. Since then there have been significant technological developments and enhancements in user environments, which have affected the field of choropleth mapping systems posi¬tively. A new version of CMS was developed in accordance with these changes. CMS II requires an IBM PC, or compatible, with the minimum 640KB memory and VGA graphic board. It supports HP laser jet printers to output a high resolution map. The program can use Hangul letters for main menu, map title, and legend. And dBase file format (DEW) was implemented to exchange attribute files effectively.

The 2PL-HP(Two Phase Locking with High Priority) method has been used to guarantee preceding process of a high priority transaction(HPT) in real-time database systems. The method resolves a conflict through aborting or blocking of a low priority transaction(LPT). However, if HPT is eliminated in a system because of its deadline missing, an unnecessary aborting or blocking of LPT is occurred. Recently, to resolve the problem, a concurrency control algorithm using alternative version was proposed. However, the algorithm must always create the alternative version and needs an addtional technique to manage complex alternative versions. In this paper, we propose an efficient concurrency control algorithm that prevents needless wastes of resources and eliminates unnecessary aborting or blocking of LTP. And it is shown through the performance evaluation that the proposed concurrency control algorithm outperforms the existing concurrency control algorithm using alternative version.

The purpose of this study was to explore the level of the moral distress for nurses working in long-term care hospitals or nursing homes, and identify factors that influence the moral distress. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires including the Korean version of Moral Distress Scale-Revised (KMDS-R), Jefferson Empathy Scale for Health professionals (K-JSE-HP), Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (K-MSQ), and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS). A total of 194 nurses from 11 long-term care hospitals or 27 nursing homes completed the structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. As results, the mean score for moral distress was $73.81{\pm}51.29$ in this study. The moral distress of nurses working at nursing homes was higher than that of nurses working in long-term care hospitals. Among the sub-factors of moral distress, the 'futile care' was the highest score and the 'limit to claim the ethical issue' was the lowest. The main factor affecting moral distress among nurses in this study was the ethical climate of organization. In this paper, we propose that in order to effectively reduce the moral distress of nurses working in a long-term care hospital or a nursing home, it is more impactful to address structural issues related to the caregiver workplace than to adjust individual factors.

This paper presents a construction of adaptive boundary element for the problem with mixed boundary conditions such as heat transfer between heated body surface and surrounding medium. The scheme is based on the sample point error analysis and on the extended error indicator, proposed earlier by the authors for the potential and elastostatic problems, and extended successfully to multidomain and thermoelastic analyses. Since the field variable is connected with its derivative on the boundary, their errors are also interconnected by the specified condition. The extended error indicator on each boundary element is modified to meet with the situation. Two numerical examples are shown to indicate the differences due to the prescribed boundary conditions.

A subchannel analysis code MATRA applicable to PWRs and ALWRs has been developed to be run on an IBM PC or HP WS based on the existing CDC CYBER mainframe version of COBRA-Rf-1. This MATRA code is a thermal-hydraulic analysis code based on the subchannel approach for calculating the enthalpy and How distribution in fuel assemblies and reactor cores for both steady-state and transient conditions. HATRA has been provided with an improved structure, various functions, and models to give more convenient user environment and to enhance the code accuracy. Among them, the pressure drop model has been improved to be applied to non-square-lattice rod arrays, and the models for the lateral transport between adjacent subchannels have been improved to enhance the accuracy in predicting two-phase flow phenomena. The predictions of MATRA were compared with the experimental data on the flow and enthalpy distribution in some sample rod-bundle cases to evaluate the performance of MATRA. All the results revealed that the predictions of MATRA were better than those of COBRA-IV-I.

기존의 병행제어 알고리즘들은 특정 종류의 응용에서만 우수한 성능을 보여왔다. 그러나, 실시간 데이터베이스 응용에서는 여러 종류, 비 실시간, 소프트 종료시한, 펌 종료시한, 하드 종료시한 트랜잭션들이 혼합된 시스템이 대부분이다. 따라서, 여기에 합당한 병행제어 알고리즘이 필요하다. 대체 버전 병행제어 기법은 2단계 로킹-높은 우선순위(2PL-HP)의 문제점인 낭비적 재시작과 낭비적 수행 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안되었다. 이 방식은 충돌이 자주 발생하는 응용 즉, 부하가 많은 응용에서는 불필요한 트랜잭션의 블록킹이 많이 발생하고, 중료시한을 만족하기 힘들었다. 이는 트랜잭션 충돌시 재시작 버전 트랜잭션의 생성 수를 제한하지 않고 충돌이 발생할 때 마다 충돌 해결 정책을 사용하였기 때문이다. 본 논문은 실시간 데이터베이스 시스템이 단위 시간에 처리할 수 있는 최대 트랜잭션의 수를 고려하여 낭비적 재시작 트랜잭션의 수를 재현하기 때문에 충돌 연산과 관련이 없는 트랜잭션의 수가 자원을 낭비하는 것을 방지하여 자원 활용면에서도 효율이 증가한다.

FLECHT-SEASET 실험을 이용하여 냉각재상실사고시 Reflood에 대한 TRAC-PF1 전산코드의 예측 능력을 평가하였다. FLECHT-SEASET 실험 장치는 3.657m(12 ft) 높이 161개 전열 봉으로 이루어 져 있으며, 다양한 재관수율, 계통압력, 초기 피복재온도, 재관수온도 노심내 반경방향 출력분포 둥의 조건에 따라 수행된 실험이다. TRAC-PF1은 비균질 비평형 이상유동 열수력(Nonhomogeneous Non-equilibrium Two-Fluid Hydrodynamic)모델을 사용하고 원자로 압력용기는 3차원으로 모델할 수 있는 최적전산코드로서, 이 평가 계산에는 HP Version이 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 재관수율 변화에 따라 달라지는 연료봉 최대 피복재온도와 Quench 시간에 대한 TRAC-PF1 전산코드의 예측 능력을 중점적으로 평가하였다. 계산 결과 TRAC-PF1은 최대 피복재온도는 약 20-100$^{\circ}$K 낮게, Quench 시간은 실험치와 비교하여 약 40-150초 정도 늦게 예측하는 것으로 나타났는데, 재관수율이 낮을수록 최대피복재 온도는 낮게, Quench 시간은 늦게 예측하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 또한 재관수율이 3 in/sec 이상에서 노심 상부가 일찍 Quenching 되는 것으로 계산되는데, 이는 노심상부 열전달 Regime의 부적절한 계산이 원인으로 보인다.

Internet Video Coding (IVC) is a royalty-free codec currently being developed in MPEG. Coding efficiency of IVC codec has been steadily enhanced and it was reported that the performance of Committee Draft (CD) version is comparable to H.264/AVC High Profile (HP) in terms of objective and subjective qualities. In this paper, we present some coding tools that have been proposed for enhancing the coding efficiency of IVC during the developing process in MPEG along with brief overview of IVC codec architecture and coding algorithms. The coding tools include both of normative tools and informative tools such as non-reference P frame coding, DC mode intra prediction, Lagrange multiplier selection, and extension of chroma intra prediction modes. Improvement obtained by each tool is presented in terms of algorithm and coding gain based on the experiments. As a result of the experiment, the coding tools give the average bit saving of 8.8%, 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.0%, respectively, in the low-delay coding mode.
