This paper presents the quantification and location damage detection of plane and space truss structures in a two-phase method to reduce the computations efforts significantly. In the first phase, a proposed damage indicator based on the residual force vector concept is used to get the suspected damaged members. In the second phase, using damage quantification as a variable, a teaching-learning based optimization algorithm (TLBO) is used to obtain the damage quantification value of the suspected members obtained in the first phase. TLBO is a relatively modern algorithm that has proved distinguished in solving optimization problems. For more verification of TLBO effeciency, the classical particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used in the second phase to make a comparison between TLBO and PSO algorithms. As it is clear, the first phase reduces the search space in the second phase, leading to considerable reduction in computations efforts. The method is applied on three examples, including plane and space trusses. Results have proved the capability of the proposed method to precisely detect the quantification and location of damage easily with low computational efforts, and the efficiency of TLBO in comparison to the classical PSO.

원자력 발전소의 가압기는 1차 계통의 냉각재가 고온에서도 기화되지 않도록 압력을 가해주는 장치이다. 즉, 가압기의 고장은 원자력 발전소에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 따라서, 가압기의 조기 고장 감지는 원자력 발전소의 안전에 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 마할라노비스 거리 개념과 다구찌 품질 공학 이론에 기반한 패턴 분류 인식 알고리즘 중 하나인 마할라노비스 다구찌 시스템(MTS)을 가압기 압력 제어 계통의 조기 고장 감지에 적용하였다. MTS의 고장 감지 성능을 검증하기 위해, 실제 원자력 발전소에서 발생하고 있는 가압기 압력전송기 고장 시나리오를 대상으로 하여, Full Scope 시뮬레이터를 통해 모사된 데이터에 적용하였다. 실험 결과, MTS는 단일 센서모니터링 기반의 전통적인 고장 감지에 비하여 매우 빠르게 고장을 감지할 수 있었다.

Ad Hoc Network는 인프라스트럭처 기반의 네트워크가 아니고 노드들이 분포되어 있기 때문에 공격을 받기가 쉽다. 침입탐지시스템은 다른 노드들의 신뢰 수준을 감지하고 노드의 로컬 보안에 대한 검사와 감시 능력을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 침입 탐지를 하는데 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해 클러스터링 기법을 적용하였다. 그리고 노드들 간의 신뢰도를 측정하기 위해 클러스터 헤드가 멤버 노드로부터 받은 신뢰 정보와 자신의 정보를 조합하여 다른 노드의 신뢰도를 평가한다. 이렇게 함으로써 네트워크내의 노드들의 대한 인증을 정확하게 수행할 수 있게 되어 안전한 데이터 전송을 제공하게 된다.

Basically, the idea underlying most edge-detection technique is the computation of a local derivative operator used for edge detection in gray level image. This concept can be easily illustrated with the aid of object which shows an image of a simple lilght on a dark background, Using the gray level profile along a horizontal scan line of the image. the first and second derivatives of it were acquired. This study is to develop an automatic measuring system based on the digital image processing which can be applied to the real time measurement of the characteristics of the ultra-thin thickness. The experimental results indicate that the developed automatic inspection can be applied in real situation.

This study investigates some of swarm intelligence algorithms to tackle a traditional damage detection problem having stiffness degradation or damage in mechanical structures. Particle swarm(PSO) and ant colony optimization(ACO) methods have been exploited for localizing and estimating the location and extent damages in a structure. Both PSO and ACO are population-based, stochastic algorithms that have been developed from the underlying concept of swarm intelligence and search heuristic. A finite element (FE) model updating is implemented to minimize the difference in a set of natural frequencies between measured and baseline vibration data. Stiffness loss of certain elements is considered to simulate structural damages in the FE model. It is numerically shown that PSO and ACO algorithms successfully completed the optimization process of model updating in locating unknown damages in a truss structure.

This work continues a trend of developments aimed at exploiting the physical layer of the open systems interconnection (OSI) model to enhance wireless network security. The goal is to augment activity occurring across other OSI layers and provide improved safeguards against unauthorized access. Relative to intrusion detection and anti-spoofing, this paper provides details for a proof-of-concept investigation involving "air monitor" applications where physical equipment constraints are not overly restrictive. In this case, RF fingerprinting is emerging as a viable security measure for providing device-specific identification (manufacturer, model, and/or serial number). RF fingerprint features can be extracted from various regions of collected bursts, the detection of which has been extensively researched. Given reliable burst detection, the near-term challenge is to find robust fingerprint features to improve device distinguishability. This is addressed here using wavelet domain (WD) RF fingerprinting based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-$\mathbb{C}WT$) features extracted from the non-transient preamble response of OFDM-based 802.11a signals. Intra-manufacturer classification performance is evaluated using four like-model Cisco devices with dissimilar serial numbers. WD fingerprinting effectiveness is demonstrated using Fisher-based multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) with maximum likelihood (ML) classification. The effects of varying channel SNR, burst detection error and dissimilar SNRs for MDA/ML training and classification are considered. Relative to time domain (TD) RF fingerprinting, WD fingerprinting with DT-$\mathbb{C}WT$ features emerged as the superior alternative for all scenarios at SNRs below 20 dB while achieving performance gains of up to 8 dB at 80% classification accuracy.

This study introduces a new concept for a simple, efficient and cheap sensitivity amplification of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) based immunosensor system for the detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$, TNF) by using an in-built magnetic system. The frequency shift due to the applied magnetic field was successfully observed on magnetic particles labeled detection antibodies, anti-human TNF-${\alpha}$, which were bound to the immunologically captured TNF-${\alpha}$ on the gold coated quartz crystals. In the present system, the magnitude of frequency shift depends on both the strength of magnetic field and the amount of target antigen applied. Significant signal amplification was observed when the additional built-in residual stress generated by the modified magnetic particles under the magnetic field applied. Used in conjunction with a sandwich type non-competitive immunoassay format, the lower detection limit was calculated to be 25 $ngmL^{-1}$ and showed good linearity up to TNF-${\alpha}$ concentrations as high as 2.0 ${\mu}gmL^{-1}$. The sensitivity, most importantly, was improved up to 4.3 times compared with the same QCM system which was used only an antigen-antibody binding without additional magnetic amplification.

RDF와 OWL은 시맨틱 웹을 위한 두 가지 핵심 기반 기술이다. 이러한 RDF와 OWL을 이용하는, 또한 이에 관련된 많은 연구들이 최근 소개되었다. 하지만, RDF와 OWL에 대한 정보 보안 관련 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 RDF 보안 기술과 관련하여, RDF 트리플에 기반을 둔 안전한 접근제어 명세 모델을 간단히 소개한다. 다음으로 RDF 접근 제어 명세 시의 추론에 의한 권한 충돌을 효율적으로 발견하기 위하여 소수 그래프 레이블링을 기법을 활용하는 방법을 자세히 소개한다. 추론에 의한 접근 권한 충돌 문제는 비록 하위 개념에 대한 접근 권한이 허용이지만, 하위 개념은 상위 개념으로 추론될 수 있으므로, 만약 상위 개념에 대한 접근 권한이 불허로 되어 있는 경우 하위 개념 또한 허용되어서는 안 되는 문제이다. 몇 가지 실험에서는 제안하는 소수 그래프 레이블링을 사용하는 방법이 기존의 단순한 권한 충돌 발견 방법보다 현저히 나은 성능을 가짐을 보여 준다.

Heart rate variability (HRV) in electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important index for understanding the health status of heart and the autonomic nervous system. Most HRV analysis approaches are based on the proper heart rate (HR) data. Estimation of heart rate is thus a key process in the HRV study. In this paper, we report an innovative method to estimate the heart rate. This method is mainly based on the concept of periodicity transform (PT) and instantaneous period (IP) estimate. The method presented is accordingly called the "PT-IP method." It does not require ECG R-wave detection and thus possesses robust noise-immune capability. While the noise contamination, ECG time-varying morphology, and subjects' physiological variations make the R-wave detection a difficult task, this method can help us effectively estimate HR for medical research and clinical diagnosis. The results of estimating HR from empirical ECG data verify the efficacy and reliability of the proposed method.
