  • The aim of the study is to model demand for full-time Bachelor's Degree Programs in Hospitality and Catering, taking into account the influence of the main determinants in the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used methods of algorithms, correlation and regression analysis, ANOVA, graphical method, deduction and induction, abstraction, etc. It was found that the demand for full-time Bachelor's Degree Programs in Hospitality and Catering is price elastic. It has been argued that it is useful to consider both price and non-price determinants when modelling demand for full-time Bachelor's Degree Programs in Hospitality and Catering. It is proved that the main determinants of demand for full-time Bachelor's Degree Programs in Hospitality and Catering are full-time tuition fee, maximum government order, license volume and Consolidated Ranking of a higher education institution (HEI). In this case, the applicant decides to enrol in a full-time Bachelor's Degree Program in Hospitality and Catering, guided by the optimal ratio of tuition fee and the prestige of the HEI.

  • Over the past decades, an enormous amount of effort has been expended in laboratory and field studies on concrete durability estimation. The results of this research are still either widely scattered in the journal literature or mentioned briefly in the standard textbooks. Moreover, the theoretical approaches of deterioration mechanisms with a predictive character are limited to some complicated mathematical models not widespread in practice. A significant step forward could be the development of appropriate software for computer-based estimation of concrete service life, including reliable mathematical models and adequate experimental data. In the present work, the basis for the development of a computer estimation of the concrete service life is presented. After the definition of concrete mix design and structure characteristics, as well as the consideration regarding the environmental conditions where the structure will be found, the concrete service life can be reliably predicted using fundamental mathematical models that simulate the deterioration mechanisms. The prediction is focused on the basic deterioration phenomena of reinforced concrete, such as carbonation and chloride penetration, that initiate the reinforcing bars corrosion. Aspects on concrete strength and the production cost are also considered. Field observations and data collection from existing structures are compared with predictions of service life using the above model. A first attempt to develop a database of service lives of different types of reinforced concrete structure exposed to varying environments is finally included.

  • One of the important severe accident management measures in the Light Water Reactors is water injection to the reactor core. The related phenomena are investigated by performing experiments and computer simulations. One of the most widely known is the QUENCH test-program. A number of analyses on QUENCH tests have also been performed by different computer codes for code validation and improvements. Unfortunately, any deterministic computer simulation is not free from the uncertainties. To receive the realistic calculation results, the best estimate computer codes should be used for the calculation with combination of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of calculation results. In this article, the QUENCH-03 and QUENCH-06 experiments are modelled using ASTEC and RELAP/SCDAPSIM codes. For the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, SUSA3.5 and SUNSET tools were used. The article demonstrates that applying the best estimate approach, it is possible to develop basic QUENCH input deck and to develop the two sets of input parameters, covering maximal and minimal ranges of uncertainties. These allow simulating different (but with the same nature) tests, receiving calculation results with the evaluated range of uncertainties.

  • This paper considers the problem of satellite's orbit control and a solution based in Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) is proposed for the case of Low Earth Orbiters (LEO). In particular, the modelling procedure and the algorithm for control law synthesis are tested using as study case the European Gravity Field and Ocean Circulation Explorer satellite (GOCE), to be launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in the year 2006. The scientific objective of this space mission is the recovering of the Earth gravity field with high accuracy (less than 10${\mu}m$/${\mu}m$) and spatial resolution (better than 100km). In order to meet these scientific requirements, the orbit control must guarantee stringent specifications in terms of environmental disturbances attenuation (atmospheric drag forces) even in presence of high levels of model uncertainty.

  • Mandelbrot에 의하여 제안된 Random Fractal은 현실감 있는 지형의 모델링을 가능하게 하였으며. Fournier등은 수학적으로 매우 복잡한 Fractal이론을 단순화한 중간점 분할 알고리즘(Midpoint Subdivision Algorithm)을 고안하여 다양한 형태의 지형 모델링에 매우 성공적인 결과를 얻게 되었다. 그러나, Random Fractal을 응용한 여러 종류의 알고리즘들은 이것의 특성으로 인하여, 생성되는 지형의 형태를 예측하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 중간점 분할 알고리즘을 이용하여 사용자가 원하는 형태의 지형을 모델링할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 논하였다. 전체적인 지형의 모델링 과정을 크게 전역 제어와 지역 제어의 두 단계로 구분하여, 전역 제어 단계에서 전체 지형의 개략적인 형태를 제어하여 모델링한 후 지역 제어 단계에서의 세부적인 형태제어를 통하여 최종적으로 사용자가 원하는 형태의 지형을 모델링할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한, GUI(Graphical User Interface)를 이용하여 전역 제어와 지역 제어에서 생성되는 전체 지형의 형태를 wire frame을 이용하여 실시간에 회전시키며 점검할 수 있도록 하여 세부적인 수정을 용이하게 하였다.

  • The emergence of various Internet worms, including the stand-alone Code Red worm that caused a distributed denial of service (DDoS), has prompted many studies on their propagation speed to minimize potential damages. Many studies, however, assume the same probabilities for initially infected nodes to infect each node during their propagation, which do not reflect accurate Internet worm propagation modelling. Thus, this paper analyzes how Internet worm propagation speed varies according to the number of vulnerable hosts directly connected to infected hosts as well as the link costs between infected and vulnerable hosts. A mathematical model based on centrality theory is proposed to analyze and simulate the effects of degree centrality values and closeness centrality values representing the connectivity of nodes in a large-scale network environment on Internet worm propagation speed.

  • The uncertainty often observed in experimental strengths of masonry constituents makes critical the selection of the appropriate inputs in finite element analysis of complex masonry buildings, as well as requires modelling the building ultimate load as a random variable. On the other hand, the utilization of expensive Monte Carlo simulations to estimate collapse load probability distributions may become computationally impractical when a single analysis of a complex building requires hours of computer calculations. To reduce the computational cost of Monte Carlo simulations, direct computer calculations can be replaced with inexpensive Response Surface (RS) models. This work investigates the use of RS models in Monte Carlo analysis of complex masonry buildings with random input parameters. The accuracy of the estimated RS models, as well as the good estimations of the collapse load cumulative distributions obtained via polynomial RS models, show how the proposed approach could be a useful tool in problems of technical interest.

  • The shapes(mass) of buildings are determined by many interrelated factors, such as planning and building regulations, the size and shape of building parcels, and adjoining road conditions. Understanding the effects of the determinants on the building shapes is not a simple task because of the multiplicity and complex interrelationships of the determinants. This study developed a prototype of three dimensional computer model that can simulates the determination process of building shape using GIS and CAD techniques. A commercial block in the south of Seoul was selected for the case study. Several methods of building height control were applied, and their effects on the cityscape were evaluated. The results shows that the three dimensional computer modelling offers an effective means for evaluating the effects of planning and building regulations. The implication of the case study and future research directions were discussed.
