DV(Discrete Variation)-X${\alpha}$ cluster calculation was employed to calculate the electronic states of ${\gamma}'- Fe_4N$ which was one of iron nitride phases synthesized from plasma ion nitriding to improve surface hardness and wear resistance. The result of calculated electron density of states for Fe was similar to the result of band calculation. The cluster used for calculation of electronic states of ${\gamma}'-Fe_4N$ was based on $Fe_{14}N$ cluster which comprises 15 atoms. Finally the electronic states of ${\gamma}'- Fe_4N$ such as net-charge, band order, energy level, electron wave-function, and contour map for electron density were derived by the calculation.

A critical assumption of the standard sample size calculation is that the response (outcome) for an individual patient is completely independent to that for any other patient. However, this assumption no longer holds when there is a lack of statistical independence across subjects seen in cluster randomized designs. In this setting, patients within a cluster are more likely to respond in a similar manner; patient outcomes may correlate strongly within clusters. Thus, direct use of standard sample size formulae for cluster design, ignoring the clustering effect, may result in sample size that are too small, resulting in a study that is under-powered for detecting the desired level of difference between groups. This paper revisit worked examples for sample size calculation provided in a previous paper using nomogram to easy to access. Then we present the concept of cluster design illustrated with worked examples, and introduce design effect that is a factor to inflate the standard sample size estimates.

For an accurate measurement of aerosol particle size distribution using a differential mobility analyser (DMA), a new calculation process, capable of predicting the masses for the various kinds of water cluster ions generated from a bipolar ionizer, was prepared by improving the previous process. The masses for the 5 kinds of positive and negative water cluster ions produced from a SMAC ionizer were predicted by the improved calculation process. The aerosol particle charging ratios calculated by applying the predicted ion masses to particle charging equations were in good accordance with the experimentally measured ones, indicating that the improved calculation process are more reasonable than the previous one in a mass prediction of bipolar water cluster ions.

Centrality has been actively studied in network analysis field. In this paper we show a calculation method of closeness centrality for WSN. Since nodes in a sensor network are very scarce in energy and computation capability the calculation of the closeness is done in two tiers by dividing network into clusters. In first step closeness centrality for cluster heads is calculated. In the second step closeness of member nodes of the chosen cluster is computed in respect to that cluster itself.

In the area of data clustering in high dimensional space, one of the difficulties is the time-consuming process for computing vector similarities. It becomes worse in the case of the agglomerative algorithm with the group-average link and mean centroid method, because the cluster similarity must be recomputed whenever the cluster center moves after the merging step. As a solution of this problem, we present an incremental method of similarity computation, which substitutes the scalar calculation for the time-consuming calculation of vector similarity with several measures such as the squared distance, inner product, cosine, and minimum variance. Experimental results show that it makes clustering speed significantly fast for very high dimensional data.

By including the overlap integrals between atomic orbitals, the modified cluster orbitals for a metal cluster of face centered cubic lattice are found. The modified analytic solutions of the cluster are obtained from them with the assumption that the cluster orbitals with different state indices do not mix together. The physical properties-the HOMO levels and the unit electronic energies-of Ni, Pd, and Pt clusters of various size, calculated by the modified cluster orbital method, agree better with the results obtained by the Extended Huckel calculation than those of the previous(unmodified) cluster orbital method do. As a result, it is verified that the physical properties, at least those related to the energy levels, obtained by the Extended Huckel method may be reproduced by use of the modified cluster orbital method instead.

A cluster topology was proposed with the assumption of zero noise to improve the performance of wireless body area networks (WBANs). However, in WBANs, the transmission power should be reduced as low as possible to avoid the effect of electromagnetic waves on the human body and to extend the lifetime of a battery. Therefore, in this work, we consider a bit error rate for a cluster-based WBAN and analyze the performance of the system while the transmission of sensors and cluster headers (CHs) is controlled. Moreover, a hierarchical topology is proposed for the cluster-based WBAN to further improve the throughput of the system; this proposed system is called as the hierarchical cluster WBAN. The hierarchical cluster WBAN is combined with a transmission control scheme, that is, complete control, spatial reuse superframe, to increase the throughput. The proposed system is analyzed and evaluated based on several factors of the system model, such as signal-to-noise ratio, number of clusters, and number of sensors. The calculation result indicates that the proposed hierarchical cluster WBAN outperforms the cluster-based WBAN in all analyzed scenarios.

본 논문에서는 클러스터 시스템을 이용하여 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 프레임의 병렬 비선형해석이 가능한 해석수단을 제시하였다. Win 98 및 Linux 운영체제 하의 PC 및 Ethernet을 활용하여 저가의 클러스터 시스템을 구축하였고 메시지 전송을 위하여 MPI를 사용하였다. 비선형해석에 있어 해석시간의 대부분을 차지하는 반복계산과정 중 병렬계산에 의한 효율이 높은 접선강도매트릭스의 형성 및 요소응력계산, 재료상태 결정, 부재파괴 검토, 불평형하중 계산과정에 대한 병렬계산 알고리즘을 메시지 전송방식을 이용하여 제시하고 클러스터 시스템 상에서 구현했다. 캔틸레버 보와 PSC 거더교를 대상으로 클러스터 컴퓨팅을 이용한 비 선형해석을 수행한 결과 노트가 4개일 경우의 성능향상은 고려한 비선형형성 및 문제의 크기에 따라 다르나 Win98 환경에서 최소 2.46배에서 최대 3.18배로 나타났고 Linux 환경에서 최소 3.16배에서 최대 3.74배로 나타났으며 통신환경의 개선에 따라 증대될 것으로 기대된다.
