The development of smart grids has enabled the easy collection of a large amount of power data. There are some common patterns that make it useful to cluster power consumption patterns when analyzing s power big data. In this paper, clustering analysis is based on distance functions for time series and clustering algorithms to discover patterns for power consumption data. In clustering, we use 10 distance measures to find the clusters that consider the characteristics of time series data. A simulation study is done to compare the distance measures for clustering. Cluster validity measures are also calculated and compared such as error rate, similarity index, Dunn index and silhouette values. Real power consumption data are used for clustering, with five distance measures whose performances are better than others in the simulation.

This paper examines the role of distance learning self-efficacy, belief in one's capabilities of using a system in the accomplishment of web-based distance learning, in predicting user intention to use and performance of distance learning system. It used self-efficacy theory and technology acceptance model(TAM) to build a model that predicts relationships between antecedents to students' distance learning self-efficacy assessments and their behavioral and attitudinal consequences. The model was tested using LISREL analysis on the sample of 250 students who have worked with the Distance Learning System. The results indicated partial support for the conceptual model. In accordance with TAM, perceived usefulness had strong direct effects on intention to use and performance, while perceived ease of use had both direct and indirect effects on intention to use, but not performance. Distance learning self-efficacy had only direct effect on perceived ease of use to use. Computer experience was found to have a strong positive effect on distance learning self-efficacy, and computer anxiety had a negative effect on distance learning self-efficacy. Implications of these findings are discussed for researchers and practitioners.

The likelihood distance for the joint distribution of two multivariate normal distributions with common covariance matrix is explicitly derived. It is useful for identifying outliers which do not follow the joint multivariate normal distribution with common covariance matrix. The likelihood distance derived here is a good ground for the use of a generalized Wilks statistic in influence analysis of two multivariate normal data.

Recently, the scale in the field of reinforced soil retaining wall has been grown up like tiered reinforced soil retaining wall. However, there have been increasing number of collapse accidents and large scale of collapse. The design manual adopted in the construction fields have been inconsistent in tiered reinforced soil retaining wall. Therefore, this study performed finite element analysis on 90 cases and analyzed characteristic behavior of lower wall which was one of the effect factors on the stability of tiered reinforced soil retaining wall. The facing displacement of each walls and the behavior of the whole ground were interpreted by the numerical analysis depending on the lower offset distance by the upper wall as well as the upper offset distance by the surcharge load. The results showed that the behavior of tiered reinforced soil retaining wall was differed by condition of surcharge load and each offset distance was found to be important factor.

An eigenspace projection clustering method is proposed for structural damage detection by combining projection algorithm and fuzzy clustering technique. The integrated procedure includes data selection, data normalization, projection, damage feature extraction, and clustering algorithm to structural damage assessment. The frequency response functions (FRFs) of the healthy and the damaged structure are used as initial data, median values of the projections are considered as damage features, and the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm are used to categorize these features. The performance of the proposed method has been validated using a three-story frame structure built and tested by Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA. Two projection algorithms, namely principal component analysis (PCA) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), are compared for better extraction of damage features, further six kinds of distances adopted in FCM process are studied and discussed. The illustrated results reveal that the distance selection depends on the distribution of features. For the optimal choice of projections, it is recommended that the Cosine distance is used for the PCA while the Seuclidean distance and the Cityblock distance suitably used for the KPCA. The PCA method is recommended when a large amount of data need to be processed due to its higher correct decisions and less computational costs.

본 연구에서는 거리기준 위치등록(Distance-Based Registration, DBR) 방법의 성능 개선 방안을 제안하고 그 성능을 분석한다. DBR 방법에서는 이동국이 새로운 셀에 진입할 때마다 현재 셀에서 가장 최근에 위치등록한 셀까지의 거리를 계산하여, 그 값이 기준거리 D 이상이면 위치등록을 수행하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기존DBR 방법의 성능을 개선하기 위하여 2개의 위치영역을 가질 수 있는 이중영역 거리기준 위치등록(Two-Location Distance-Based Registration, TDBR) 방법을 제안하였다. TDBR에서는 이동국이 가장 최근에 위치등록한 위치영역뿐만 아니라 그 직전에 위치등록한 위치영역까지도 저장하게 되며 이 경우 저장된2개 위치영역을 넘나들 때는 위치등록이 필요 없게 된다. 반면에 페이징 부하는 DBR보다 증가하게 되므로 줄어드는 위치등록 부하와 늘어나는 페이징 부하의 절충이 필요하게 된다.본 연구에서는 육각형 셀 환경 하에서2차원 랜덤워크 모형에 기반을 둔 이동성 모형을 이용하여 두 위치등록 방법의 성능을 분석하고 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션과의 비교를 통하여 수리적 분석이 정확함을 보였으며, 다양한 환경에 대한 수리적 결과로부터 제안하는 TDBR 방법이 기존의 DBR 방법보다 대부분의 경우 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

This study proposes the analysis and evaluation method of time series ultrasonic signal using the attractor analysis. Features extracted from time series signal analyze quantitatively characteristics of weld defects. For this purpose, analysis objective in this study is fractal dimension and attractor quadrant feature. Trajectory changes in the attractor indicated a substantial difference in fractal characteristics resulting from distance shifts such as parts of head and flange even though the types of defects are identified. These difference in characteristics of weld defects enables the evaluation of unique characteristics of defects in the weld zone. In quantitative fractal feature extraction, feature values of 3.848 in the case of part of head(crack) and 4.102 in the case of part of web(side hole) and 3.711 in the case of part of flange(crack) were proposed on the basis of fractal dimensions. Proposed attractor analysis and DAC in this study can enhance the precision rate of ultrasonic evaluation for defect signals of rail weld zone such as side hole and crack.

In this study, we evaluated current raingauge network of Soyanggang dam region applying spatial-correlation analysis and Entropy theory to recommend an optimized raingauge network. In the process of analysis, correlation distance of raingauge stations is estimated and evaluated via spatial-correlation method and entropy method. From this correlation distances, respective influencing radii of each dataset and each methods is assessed. The result of correlation and entropy analysis has estimated correlation distance of 25.546km and influence radius of 7.206km, deducing a decrease of network density from $224.53km^2$ to $122.47km^2$ which satisfy the recommended minimum densities of $250km^2$ in mountainous regions(WMO, 1994) and an increase of basin coverage from 59.3% to 86.8%. As for the elevation analysis the relative evaluation ratio increased from 0.59(current) to 0.92(optimized) resulting an obvious improvement.

Side-channel attacks pose an inevitable challenge to the implementation of cryptographic algorithms, and it is important to mitigate them. This work identifies a novel data encoding technique based on 1-of-4 codes to resist differential power analysis attacks, which is the most investigated category of side-channel attacks. The four code words of the 1-of-4 codes, namely (0001, 0010, 1000, and 0100), are split into two sets: set-0 and set-1. Using a select signal, the data processed in hardware is switched between the two encoding sets alternately such that the Hamming weight and Hamming distance are equalized. As a case study, the proposed technique is validated for the NIST standard AES-128 cipher. The proposed technique resists differential power analysis performed using statistical methods, namely correlation, mutual information, difference of means, and Welch's t-test based on the Hamming weight and distance models. The experimental results show that the proposed countermeasure has an area overhead of 2.3× with no performance degradation comparatively.

폭발 해석 모델의 해석 방법은 직접적 해석과 간접적 해석으로 구별되며, 간접적 해석으로는 반경험적 해석 방법과 수치 해석적 방법으로 나뉜다. 본 연구에서는 반경험적 모델 해석의 프로그램인 ELS 폭발 해석 프로그램의 적용성을 평가하기 위해, 단순 해석 모델을 선정하고 다양한 반경험적 해석 프로그램인 AT-Blast, RC-Blast와 Kinney와 Graham의 경험식을 이용하여 자유 공중 폭발과 지표면 폭발에서의 폭발 하중 특성을 검토하였다. 단순 해석 모델에 대해 환산거리와 입사각에 대한 폭발 압력을 해석한 결과, 자유 공중 폭발 해석에서 환산거리의 범위는 $0.3{\sim}0.461m/kg^{1/3}$이고, 지표면 폭발 해석에서 환산거리의 범위는 $0.378{\sim}0.581m/kg^{1/3}$ 일 때 적합한 해석을 수행할 수 있으며, 입사각의 경우에는 $45^{\circ}$ 이내에서 해석한 결과가 적합한 것으로 판단된다.
