  • 3D body scan data are used widely in various fields to make products and living spaces for superior human body fitness. Based on the 3D measurements of human bodies for teens in Size Korea 2013, this research provides a way of finding the representative body sizes and 3D body scan data. First, a multi-dimensional vector space consisting of many measurement items was projected onto a 2D vector space with circumference and length components via factor analysis. The representative body sizes and 3D scan data close to these values were obtained via the Mahalanobis distance in 2D space. Considering the adolescent growth pattern shown on this 2D space, males were divided into 4 age groups and females were divided into 3 age groups. Using the eigenbodies corresponding to the column vectors of the component score coefficient matrix, the representative body sizes of 13 measurement items (male) and 14 measurement items (female) for each age group were calculated. The representative body sizes and 3D scan data are very useful for modeling representative 3D human figures.

  • Korea Train Express (KTX) is now leading the train industry, heralding a new renaissance of transportation and changing the old construction-oriented policy to one based on customers' needs that intends to offer better service in speed, convenience, and space creation around the railroad stations. These new policies aims to provide differentiated 'utility' based services, with the commitment to environmentally friendly 'green growth'. Nevertheless, the new policy has the unspecified 'public' as its target and tends to change bus users to train users rather than automobile users to train users. Furthermore, due to the heavy dependence on automobiles, there exists the definite limit of the new policy to attract the automobile users to train services. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the car dependence in Seoul metropolitan area. Based on the analysis using structure equation modeling, it can be described that environment consciousness and public satisfaction level affect on the car dependence. Author concludes that emotional marketing needs to go with utility marketing and Incentive marketing to weaken the heavy dependence on automobiles and to successfully prompt the change to train services.

  • The recent rapid increase in genomic data related to many microorganisms and the development of computational tools to accurately analyze large amounts of data have enabled us to design several kinds of simulation approaches for the complex behaviors of cells. Among these approaches, dFBA (dynamic flux balance analysis), which utilizes FBA, differential equations, and regulatory events, has correctly predicted cellular behaviors under given environmental conditions. However, until now, dFBA has centered on substrate concentration, cell growth, and gene on/off, but a detailed hierarchical structure of a regulatory network has not been taken into account. The use of Boolean rules for regulatory events in dFBA has limited the representation of interactions between specific regulatory proteins and genes and the whole transcriptional regulation mechanism with environmental change. In this paper, we adopted the operon as the basic structure, constructed a hierarchical structure for a regulatory network with defined fundamental symbols, and introduced a weight between symbols in order to solve the above problems. Finally, the total control mechanism of regulatory elements (operons, genes, effectors, etc.) with time was simulated through the linkage of dFBA with regulatory network modeling. The lac operon, trp operon, and tna operon in the central metabolic network of E. coli were chosen as the basic models for control patterns. The suggested modeling method in this study can be adopted as a basic framework to describe other transcriptional regulations, and provide biologists and engineers with useful information on transcriptional regulation mechanisms under extracellular environmental change.

  • Effects of bipolar pulse driving frequency between 50 kHz and 250 kHz on the discharge shapes were analyzed by measuring plasma characteristics by OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and Langmuir probe. Plasma characteristics were modeled by a simple electric field analysis and fluid plasma modeling. Discharge shapes by a continuous dc and bipolar pulsed dc were different as a dome-type and a vertical column-type at the cathode. From OES, the intensity of 811.5 nm wavelength, the one of the main peaks of Ar, decreased to about 43% from a continuous dc to 100 kHz. For increasing from 100 kHz to 250 kHz, the intensity of 811.5 nm wavelength also decreased by 46%. The electron density decreased by 74% and the electron temperature increased by 36% at the specific position due to the smaller and denser discharge shape for increasing pulse frequency. Through the numerical analysis, the negative glow shape of a continuous dc were similar to the electric potential distribution by FEM (Finite Element Method). For the bipolar pulsed dc, we found that the electron temperature increased to maximum 10 eV due to the voltage spikes by the fast electron acceleration generated in pre-sheath. This may induce the electrons and ions from plasma to increase the energetic substrate bombardment for the dense thin film growth.

  • It is required to predict a limit cycle amplitude controlled by system's nonlinear behavior as well as an eigen-frequency and initial growth rate of instabilities under the linear motions, in order to fully understand combustion instabilities in a lean premixed gas turbine combustor. Special focus of the current work is placed on the limit cycle amplitude prediction using flame describing function(FDF) where the ratio of a heat release fluctuation to a given flow perturbation is expressed as a function of frequency and amplitude. In this study, the CFD modeling work based on RANS is carried out to obtain FDF, which makes that the nonlinear thermo-acoustic model is successfully developed for predicting the limit cycle amplitude of the combustion instability.

  • A growth of mobile and wireless networking technologies have enabled mobile ad hoc networks applicable to a wide range of areas. This paper analyzes dynamics of network transport performance with respect to dynamics of network states especially for the mobile ad hoc networks called MANET. The edge cost based modeling methodology is adopted for the analysis, which can express well the characteristics of MANET. In this methodology the network state at arbitrary time can be specified as one of four edge states. We extracts ten target network scenarios for the simulation analysis by employing not only the Real Edge/Infinity Edge concept but also interworking functionality between different transport protocols. Then we could acquire from simulation of them with the DEVSim++ engine that the more sorts of transport protocols and the more number of interworking nodes are included in the network, the more contribution is for improving network transport performance.

  • The rapid growth of network technology makes the high-tech weapon. Thus, in the modern war, the ability to immediately use of the high-tech weapon is important. To realize this ability, continuous trainning is necessary but, this trainning spends many money. To improve the budget efficiency, Modeling and Simulation(M&S) are used. However, they seriously decrease the reality. Recently, the system which can support the combination of Live with Virtual simulation is on the rise. The typical example is L-V-C Environment and many kind of middleware which can support the L-V-C Envrionment are already proposed. Previous middleware can support the interoperability between different simulations but, it cannot completely interoperate three(Live, Virtual, Constructive) simulation environments. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose the scheme which is combination between different middlewares. And we conduct the API mapping between HLA and DDS which are typical middleware and verify the scheme.

  • The significant advances in information and communication technologies are changing the process of how information is accessed. The internet is a very important source of information and it influences the development of other media. Furthermore, the growth of digital content is a big problem for academic digital libraries, so that similar tools can be applied in this scope to provide users with access to the information. Given the importance of this, we have reviewed and analyzed several proposals that improve the processes of disseminating information in these university digital libraries and that promote access to information of interest. These proposals manage to adapt a user's access to information according to his or her needs and preferences. As seen in the literature one of the techniques with the best results, is the application of recommender systems. These are tools whose objective is to evaluate and filter the vast amount of digital information that is accessible online in order to help users in their processes of accessing information. In particular, we are focused on the analysis of the fuzzy linguistic recommender systems (i.e., recommender systems that use fuzzy linguistic modeling tools to manage the user's preferences and the uncertainty of the system in a qualitative way). Thus, in this work, we analyzed some proposals based on fuzzy linguistic recommender systems to help researchers, students, and teachers access resources of interest and thus, improve and complement the services provided by academic digital libraries.

  • The effect of $BaF_2$ flux in $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$(YAG:Ce) formation was investigated. Phase transformation of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$(YAG) was characterized by using XRD, SEM, and TEM-EDS, and it was revealed that the sequential formation of the $Y_4Al_2O_9$(YAM), $YAlO_3$(YAP) and $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$(YAG) in the temperature range of 1000-1500$^{\circ}C$. Single phase of YAG was revealed from 1300$^{\circ}C$. In order to find out the effect of $BaF_2$ flux, three modeling experiments between starting materials (1.5$Al_2O_3$-2.5$Y_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$-$BaF_2$, and $Al_2O_3$-$BaF_2$) were done. These modeling experiments showed that the nucleation process occurs via the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, whereas the grain growth process is controlled via the liquid-phase diffusion route. YAG:Ce phosphor particles prepared using a proposed technique exhibit a spherical shape, high crystallinity, and an emission intensity. According to the experimental results conducted in this investigation, 5% of $BaF_2$ was the best concentration for physical, chemical and optical properties of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$(YAG:Ce) that is approximately 10-15% greater than that of commercial phosphor powder.

  • In proportion as the growth of the wireless sensor network applications, we need for more accuracy wireless channel information. In the case of indoor or outdoor wireless sensor networks, multipath propagation causes severe problems in terms of fading. Therefore, a path-loss model for multipath environment is required to optimize communication systems. This paper deals with log-normal path loss modeling of the indoor 2.4 GHz channel. We measured variation of the received signal strength between the sender and receiver of which separation was increased from 1 to 30m. The path-loss exponent and the standard deviation of wireless channel were determined by fitting of the measured data. By using the PRR(Packet Reception Rate) of this model. Wireless sensor channel is defined CR(Connect Region), DR(Disconnected Region). In order to verify the characteristics of wireless channel, we performed simulations and experiments. We demonstrated that connection ranges are 24m in indoor, and 14m in outdoor.
