Simplified techniques based on in situ testing methods are commonly used to assess seismic liquefaction potential. Many of these simplified methods were developed by analyzing liquefaction case histories from which the liquefaction boundary (limit state) separating two categories (the occurrence or non-occurrence of liquefaction) is determined. As the liquefaction classification problem is highly nonlinear in nature, it is difficult to develop a comprehensive model using conventional modeling techniques that take into consideration all the independent variables, such as the seismic and soil properties. In this study, a modification of the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) approach based on Logistic Regression (LR) LR_MARS is used to evaluate seismic liquefaction potential based on actual field records. Three different LR_MARS models were used to analyze three different field liquefaction databases and the results are compared with the neural network approaches. The developed spline functions and the limit state functions obtained reveal that the LR_MARS models can capture and describe the intrinsic, complex relationship between seismic parameters, soil parameters, and the liquefaction potential without having to make any assumptions about the underlying relationship between the various variables. Considering its computational efficiency, simplicity of interpretation, predictive accuracy, its data-driven and adaptive nature and its ability to map the interaction between variables, the use of LR_MARS model in assessing seismic liquefaction potential is promising.

An accurate system modeling in the underground water analysis requires many accurate parameters on the spot, which have a huge volume, because it may be generated more inaccurate products than to use mathematical analytical solution in a case that a degree of permeation, undercurrent coefficients, boundary conditions, and so on, are inadequately estimated. Recently, handling these parameters easily has been an active area of research. In this paper, we propose a new method which handles these parameters easily and accurately for a system model management using a well-known MODFLOW model. Also, we incorporate this method into ArcView functions. Results of the proposed system incorporated into ArcView are displayed visually.

Although there are many needs to use 3D models in MEMS field, it is not easy to generate 3D models based on MEMS CAD. This is because MEMS CAD is based on 2D and their popular format-GDSII file format- has its own limits and problems. The differences between GDSII file format and 3D CAD system, such as (1) superposed modeling, (2) duplicated entity, (3) restricted of entity type, give rise to several problems in data exchange. These limits and problems in GDSII file format have prevented 3D CAD system from generating 3D models from the MEMS CAD. To remove these limits and solve problems, it is important to extract the silhouette of data in the MEMS CAD. The proposed method has two main processes to extract silhouette; one is to extract the pseudo-silhouette from the original 2D MEMS data and the other is to remove useless objects to complete the silhouette. The paper reports on the experience gained in data exchange between 2D MEMS data and 3D models by the proposed method and a case study is presented, which employs the proposed method using MEMS CAD IntelliMask and Solidworks.

Most of Orders of Magnitude estimate are based on historical data. This data is converted to the current price using by the cost index method mainly. This method, however, is rarely utilized or only for one-time use due to the lack of data and the complex escalation calculation method. This paper present a typical process on the conceptual investment cost estimation using by Cost Indexes based on the actual case for the Train Control facility of High-speed rail project. The result is expected to serve as both an easy way for Order of Magnitude estimate and a standard guideline for computerized modeling.

UML is a very good description of object-oriented concepts and supports the use case diagram for analyzing the system functionality, the class diagram for representing the domain object in the analysis step, the sequence diagram for connecting the action in the class. The visual-based, object-oriented LabVIEW OOP is an intuitive design tool that can be executed at the same time as a development tool. However, even the system developer using LabVIEW OOP is needed known about the object-oriented concept in the design stage. In this paper, we suggest the method to applying the UML modeling diagram to LabVIEW OOP design.

This paper deals with the simulation modeling of PV generation system for its application to utility distribution network PSCAD/EMIDC simulation model is developed for use in studying the effect of the PV generation to the distribution system. Simulation results show that the addition of the PV system improves the voltage profile of the area by decreasing the power flow from the utility substation. Case studies also show that power quality at the load side is also improved via voltage compensation at the load bus.

The liquid entrainment and vapor pull-through offtake model of RELAP5/MOD3 had been developed for SBLOCA (Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident). The RELAP5/MOD3 model for horizontal volumes accounts for the phase separation phenomena and computes the flux of mass and energy through a branch when stratified conditions occur in the horizontal pipe. In the case of CANDU reactor, this model should be used in the coolant flow of 95 feeders connected to the reactor header component under the horizontal stratification in header. The current RELAP5 model can treat the only 3 directions junctions; vertical upward, downward, and side oriented junctions, and thus improvements for the liquid entrainment and vapor pull-through model were needed for considering the exact angles. The RELAP5 off-take model was modified and generalized by considering the geometric effect of branching angles. Based on the previous experimental results, the critical height correlation was reconstructed by use of the branch line connection angle and validation analyses were also performed using SET. The new model can be applied to vertical upward, downward and angled branch, and the accuracy of the new correlations is more improved than that of RELAP5.

시스템의 동적 요소를 기술하고 분석하기 위해 C&C view 아키텍처를 주로 사용하지만 시스템의 실행 순서나 상태에 대한 정보가 부족하기 때문에 단지 C&C view 아키텍처로만 시스템의 동적 요소를 분석하기가 어렵다. FSP model은 시스템의 동작을 표현하기 위한 모델링 언어로써 시스템의 동작을 모델링 할 뿐만 아니라 LTSA라는 FSP 검증 툴을 이용하여 시스템의 특성을 자동으로 파악하기에도 용이한 특성을 가지고 있어 시스템 동적 요소 분석에 도움을 준다. 하지만 관련 정보를 얻기 어려워 FSP model을 구현하는데 어려움이 있다. 이 논문은 C&C view 아키텍처와 요구 사항(Use Case Scenario 혹은 Sequence diagram)을 근간으로 시스템의 동적 요소를 FSP로 모델링 하는 방법을 정의한다. 또한 LTSA 툴을 이용하여 자동적으로 시스템의 특성을 검증할 수 있고, 이를 통해 시스템 구현 전에 시스템의 에러를 찾아내고 해결하는 도움을 줄 수 있다. C&C view 아키텍처는 시스템의 컴포넌트와 커넥터에 대한 정보를 제공하여 주고 요구 사항은 소프트웨어 시스템의 행동에 대한 정보를 제공하여 줄 수 있다. 만약 우리가 컴포넌트와 커넥터에 대한 정보가 있고 시스템 동적 요소에 대해 알고 있다면 우리는 이것을 기반으로 메시지 흐름도를 구현할 수 있다. 메시지 흐름도는 Harel, Kugler 와 Pnueli에 의해 개발된 Synthesized 알고리즘을 이용하여 Statechart로 만들어지고 이것은 바로 FSP model로 변환될 수 있다. 우리가 소프트웨어 시스템에 대한 FSP model을 가지고 있다면 이것을 기반으로 시스템 행동 특성을 체크할 수 있으며 이는 향후 발생할 수 있는 결함을 미리 찾아내는데 유용한 도움이 될 수 있다. 우리는 간단한 예제를 통해 본 논문의 이론을 수립하였으며 이를 기반으로 실제 어플리케이션에 적용하여 그 효용성을 검증하였다.

A traditional image analysis or classification method using satellite imagery is mostly based on the spectral information. However, the spatial information is more important according as the resolution is higher and spatial patterns are more complex. In this study, we attempted to compare and analyze the variogram properties of actual high resolution imageries mainly in the urban area. Through the several experiments, we have understood that the variogram is various according to a sensor type, spatial resolution, a location, a feature type, time, season and so on and shows the information related to a feature size. With simple modeling, we confirmed that the unique variogram types were shown unlike the classical variogram in case of small subsets. Based on the grasped variogram characteristics, we made a level index map for determining urban complexity or land-use classification. These results will become more and more important and be widely applied to the various fields of high-resolution imagery such as KOMPSAT-2 and KOMPSAT-3 which is scheduled to be launched.

Most shipbuilding scheduling research so far has focused on the load level on the dock plan. This is because the dock is the least extendable resource in shipyards, and its overloading is difficult to resolve. However, once dock scheduling is completed, making a plan that makes the best use of the rest of the resources in the shipyard to minimize any additional cost is also important. Block assignment planning is one of the midterm planning tasks; it assigns a block to the facility (factory/shop or surface plate) that will actually manufacture the block according to the block characteristics and current situation of the facility. It is one of the most heavily loaded midterm planning tasks and is carried out manually by experienced workers. In this study, a method of representing the block assignment rules using a diagram was suggested through analysis of the existing manual process. A block allocation program was developed which automated the block assignment process according to the rules represented by the diagram. The planning scenario was validated through a case study that compared the manual assignment and two automated block assignment results.
