The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of variability of training on the acquisition of motor skill of closed loop type tracking task using Rotary Pursuit, and to determine if there was a bilateral transfer effect to the non-dominant hand following practice with the dominant hand. Twelve healthy volunteer students (5 males and 7 females, aged 25 to 37) were randomly divided into a constant practice group and a variable practice group. A photoelectric rotary pursuit apparatus with stop clock and repeat cycle timer by Lafayette Instrumentation Co. was used for this study. Rotary pursuit is a closed loop task in which a subject attempts to keep a photoelectric stylus on a lighted target in motion. Subjects performed the clockwise circular pursuit task while standing. Experimental procedure was divided into three sessions, namely, pre-test, training, and post-test. The constant group practiced all 60 trials at 30 rpm. Variable practice group did a varied practice session with 15 trials at speeds of 20 rpm, 26 rpm, 34 rpm, and 46 rpm. No one in either group practiced with their non-dominant arm. A Mann-Whitney test and a Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test were used for statistical analyses. The results of this study showed no different training effect between groups on the post-test with the dominant hand. However, bilateral transfer effect of rotary pursuit task between hands was demonstrated. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

Purpose: To evaluate intra- and inter-observer variability and guideline adherence amongst pediatricians in treating children aged between 4 and 18 years referred with recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) without red flags. Methods: The first part of the study is a retrospective single-center cohort study. The diagnostic work-ups of eight pediatricians were compared to the national guidelines. Intra- and inter-observer variability were examined by Cramer's V test. Intra-observer variability was defined as the amount of variation within a pediatrician and inter-observer variability as the amount of variation between pediatricians in the application of diagnostic work-up in children with RAP. Prospectively, the same pediatricians were requested to provide a report on their management strategy with a fictitious case to prove similarities in retrospective diagnostic work-up. Results: A total of 10 patients per pediatrician were analyzed. Retrospectively, a (very) weak association between pediatricians' diagnostic work-ups was found (0.22), which implies high inter-observer variability. The association between intra-observer diagnostic was moderate (range, 0.35-0.46). The Cramer's V of 0.60 in diagnostic work-up between pediatricians in the fictitious case implied the presence of a moderately strong association and lower inter-observer variability than in the retrospective study. Adherence to the guideline was 66.8%. Conclusion: We found a high intra- and inter-observer variability and moderate guideline adherence in daily clinical practice amongst pediatricians in treating children with RAP in a teaching hospital.

Most codes of practice state that for large in-plane structures it is necessary to account for the spatial variability of earthquake ground motion. There are essentially three effects that contribute for this variation: (i) wave passage effect, due to finite propagation velocity; (ii) incoherence effect, due to differences in superposition of waves; and (iii) the local site amplification due to spatial variation in geological conditions. This paper discusses the procedures to be undertaken in the time domain analysis of a cable-stayed bridge under spatial variability of earthquake ground motion. The artificial synthesis of correlated displacements series that simulate the earthquake load is discussed first. Next, it is described the 3D model of the International Guadiana Bridge used for running tests with seismic analysis. A comparison of the effects produced by seismic waves with different apparent propagation velocities and different geological conditions is undertaken. The results in this study show that the differences between the analysis with and without spatial variability of earthquake ground motion can be important for some displacements and internal forces, especially those influenced by symmetric modes.

시스템 개발 시 복잡성을 감소시키고 개발 비용과 기간을 단축하기 위하여 컴포넌트 기반 개발(CBD)이 산업계에서 보편화 되고 있다. 그러나, 현재 대표적인 CBD는 한 회사나 하나의 어플리케이tus에 의존적인 컴포넌트를 개발하고 있다[1,2]. 따라서 어떤 도메인의 여러 패밀리에서 컴포넌트를 재사용하기 위한 컴포넌트 가변성이 강조 되고 있다. 하지만, 컴포넌트 가변성의 정의나 유형에 대해 구체적으로 제시된 연구가 미흡하여, 컴포넌트의 주 목적인 재사용 측면보다. 유지보수 목적의 컴포넌트가 개발되고 있다[3]. 본 논문에서는 컴포넌트의 재사용성을 높이기 위하여, 컴포넌트 특징을 반영한 컴포넌트 가변성을 정형적으로 정의한다. 또한, 기존의 컴포넌트 가변성으로 인식된 논리 가변성을 명확하게 정의하고, 추가로 3가지 가변성 유형을 제시함으로써, 컴포넌트에서 존재하는 모든 가변성 유형을 제시한다. 컴포넌트 커스터마이제이션시에 가변성의 경우의 수를 예측, 확인 할 수 있는 컴포넌트 가변성 Scope를 제시한다. 컴포넌트 개발에 있어서 이러한 기법을 적용함으로써, 여러 패밀리 멤버에서 재사용 할 수 있는 고품질의 컴포넌트 개발을 지원 할 수 있다.

Purpose: This study examined the influence of visuomotor congruency on learning a relative phase relationship between a single joint movement and an external signal. Methods: Participants (N=5) were required to rhythmically coordinate elbow flexion-extension movements with a continuous sinusoidal wave (0.375 Hz) at a $90^{\circ}$ relative phase relationship. The congruent group was provided online feedback in which the elbow angle decreased (corresponding to elbow flexion) as the angle trajectory was movingup, and vice versa. The incongruent group was provided online feedback in which the elbow angle decreased as the angle trajectory was moving down, and vice versa. There were two practice sessions (day 1 and 2) and each session consisted of 6 trials per block (5 blocks per session). Retention tests were performed 24 hours after session 2, and only the external sinusoidal wave was provided. Repeated ANOVAs were used for statistical analysis. Results: During practice, the congruent group was significantly less variable than the incongruent group. Phase variability in the incongruent group did not significantly change across blocks, while variability decreased significantly in the congruent group. In retention, the congruent group produced the required $90^{\circ}$ relative phase pattern with significantly less phase variability than the incongruent group. Conclusions: Congruent visual feedback facilitates learning. Moreover, the deprivation of online feedback does not affect the congruent group but does affect the incongruent group in retention.

본 연구는 화학교과 내용 맥락 하에서 모델링 실천을 통해 드러난 메타모델링 지식 구성요소별 인식수준을 진단함으로써 메타모델링 지식과 통합된 모델링 실천 프로그램 구성을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 하였다. A 과학 영재학교 2학년 재학생 16명을 대상으로 화학 교사가 변칙현상이 포함된 탐구기반 모델링을 진행하였으며, 모델의 가변성, 모델의 다중성, 모델링 과정 등 메타모델링 지식 구성요소별 인식수준을 분석하기 위하여 학생이 기록한 탐구노트와 연구자가 기록한 관찰노트를 분석에 활용하였다. 인식수준은 0단계부터 3단계까지 분류하였다. 분석 결과, 메타모델링 지식의 구성요소 중 모델링 과정에 대한 인식수준이 가장 높았으며 모델의 다중성 다음으로 모델의 가변성에 대한 인식수준이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 모델 가변성에 대한 낮은 인식수준의 원인은 학생들이 개념모델을 객관적 사실로 인식하는 것과 관련이 깊고, 모델 다중성에 대한 낮은 인식수준의 원인은 주어진 현상에 대해 오직 하나의 올바른 모델이 존재한다는 신념과 관련이 있다. 학생들은 개념모델을 화학기호와 같은 상징적 모델을 이용하여 정교화하였으나 모델링 전 과정에 영향을 주는 자료해석의 중요성에 대한 인식이 부족하였다. 모델의 본성을 명시적으로 안내할 수 있는 사전활동의 도입하고, 자료해석의 중요성을 구체적 예시를 통해 안내할 필요가 있다. 다른 관점에서 제안된 모델의 수용 가능성을 고려하고 검증하는 훈련이 모델링 실천 프로그램을 통해 이루어져야 한다.

Uncertainty is a fact belonging to engineering practice. An important uncertainty that sets geotechnical engineering is the variability associated with the properties of soils or, more precisely, the characterization of soil profiles. The reason is due largely to the complex and varied natural processes associated with the formation of soil. Spatial variability analysis for the study of the stability of natural slopes, complementing conventional analyses, is able to incorporate these uncertainties. In this paper the characterization is performed in back-analysis for a case of landslide occurred to verify afterwards the presence of the conditions of shear strength at failure. This approach may support designers to make more accurate estimates regarding slope failure responding, more consciously, to the legislation dispositions about slope stability evaluation and future design. By applying different kriging techniques used for spatial analysis it has been possible to perform a 3D-slope reconstruction. The predictive analysis and the areal mapping of the soil mechanical characteristics would support the definition of priority interventions in the zones characterized by more critical values as well as slope potential instability. This tool of analysis aims to support decision-making by directing project planning through the efficient allocation of available resources.

Proper understanding of offshore wind speed variability is of essential importance in practice, which provides useful information to a wide range of coastal and marine activities. In this paper, long-term wind speed data recorded at various offshore stations are analyzed in the framework of fractal dimension analysis. Fractal analysis is a well-established data analysis tool, which is particularly suitable to determine the complexity in time series from a quantitative point of view. The fractal dimension is estimated using the conventional box-counting method. The results suggest that the wind speed data are generally fractals, which are likely to exhibit a persistent nature. The mean fractal dimension varies from 1.31 at an offshore weather station to 1.43 at an urban station, which is mainly associated with surface roughness condition. Monthly variability of fractal dimension at offshore stations is well-defined, which often possess larger values during hotter months and lower values during winter. This is partly attributed to the effect of thermal instability. In addition, with an increase in measurement interval, the mean and minimum fractal dimension decrease, whereas the maximum and coefficient of variation increase in parallel.

Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) is a common practice to join thick plates such as the structural members of large scale offshore structures and very large container ships. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties and variability of the fatigue crack initiation life in the flux cored arc welded API 2W Gr.50 steel joints typically applied to offshore structures with a focus on the effect of the materials in fatigue crack growth life from the notch root of a compact tension specimen. Offshore structural steel (API 2W Gr.50) plates (60-mm thick) were used to fabricate multi-path flux core arc welded butt welded joints to clearly consider fatigue fractures at the weld zone from the notch. Fatigue tests were performed under a constant amplitude cyclic loading of R = 0.4. The mean fatigue crack initiation life of the HAZ specimen was the highest among the base metal (BM), weld metal (WM), and heat affected zone (HAZ). In addition, the coefficient of variation was the highest in the WMl specimen. The variability of the short fatigue crack growth rates from the notch tips in the WM and HAZ specimens was higher than in BM.
