Recently, a new output-only modal identification method based on time-frequency independent component analysis (ICA) has been developed by the authors and shown to be useful for even highly-damped structures. In many cases, it is of interest to identify the complex modes of structures with non-proportional damping. This study extends the time-frequency ICA based method to a complex ICA formulation for output-only modal identification of non-proportionally-damped structures. The connection is established between complex ICA model and the complex-valued modal expansion with sparse time-frequency representation, thereby blindly separating the measured structural responses into the complex mode matrix and complex-valued modal responses. Numerical simulation on a non-proportionally-damped system, laboratory experiment on a highly-damped three-story frame, and a real-world highly-damped base-isolated structure identification example demonstrate the capability of the time-frequency complex ICA method for identification of structures with complex modes in a straightforward and efficient manner.

최근 복합 문화 시설이 증가하면서 지하 공간 활용이 확대됨에 따라, 사용자의 실내 위치에 따른 주변 정보만을 무선으로 제공해주는 맞춤형 서비스에 대한 요구도 확산되고 있다. LED 조명을 이용한 가시광 통신 방식의 경우, GPS를 사용할 수 없는 실내 공간에서 위치 기반 서비스를 구현하기에 적합하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 가시광 통신을 이용한 실내 위치 기반 서비스를 구현하기 위해 기준 위치를 구분하는 실험에 대해 다룬다. LED 조명의 특성을 고려하여 LED와 PD 간의 각도 및 거리에 따라 LED 조명별로 서로 다른 식별 패턴을 ASCII 코드로 전송한 결과 최대 1.75m의 거리까지 LED 조명의 식별자를 수신할 수 있음을 확인한다. 이러한 실험 결과를 통하여 LED 조명을 이용한 실내 네비게이션의 가능성을 확인해볼 수 있다.

Precise, rapid and simple methods for species identification in animals are among the most important techniques in the livestock industry and research fields including meat classification. In this study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based molecular identification using inter species polymorphisms were examined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b (CYTB) gene sequences among four mammalian livestock animals (cattle, horse, goat and pig). The results from PCR-RFLP analysis using the AluI restriction enzyme were also provided for the species-specific band patterns among CYTB gene sequences in these four species. The AluI-digestion for CYTB genes provided interesting migration patterns differentially displayed according to each species. Cattle and horse had one AluI-recognition site at different nucleotide positions and their AluI-digested fragments showed different band patterns on the gels. Pig had two AluI-recognition sites within the amplified CYTB sequences and produced three bands on the gels. Goat had no AluI-recognition site and was located at the same position as the uncut PCR product. The results showed the species-specific band patterns on a single gel among the four livestock animal species by AluI-RFLP. In addition, the results from blind tests for the meat samples collected from providers without any records showed the identical information on the species recorded by observing their phenotypes before slaughter. The application of this PCR-RFLP method can be useful and provide rapid, simple, and clear information regarding species identification for various tissue samples originating from tested livestock species.

본 연구의 목적은 기존에 위기커뮤니케이션 주로 다뤄진 규범적 이론을 넘어서 상이한 위기유형에 대응할 수 있는 프레이밍 전략으로 정체성 프레이밍을 소개하고 이에 효과를 밝히는데 있다. 정체성 프레이밍은 포괄적이며 조직정체성을 위한 전략적 메시지이며 이것은 사회적 정체성과 유사하다. 본 연구는 정체성 프레이밍의 효과를 검증하기 위해서 실험연구를 실시하였으며, 실험디자인을 통해 위기유형, 위기대응, 프레이밍 효과를 조작화 하였다. 위기유형은 내부적인 요인에 발생한 위기와 외부적 요인에 의해 발생한 요인으로 조작화 하였고, 위기대응은 사과와 부정으로, 마지막으로 정체성프레임 유무를 통해 $2{\times}2{\times}2$ 요인설계 되었다. 총 242명의 대학생이 이 실험에 참여했으며, 주요한 연구결과는 정체성 프레이밍 위기 유형과 위기대응 전략에 상관없이 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

System identification is regarded as the most basic technique for structural health monitoring to evaluate structural integrity. Although many system identification techniques extracting mode information (e.g., mode frequency and mode shape) have been proposed so far, it is also desired to identify physical parameters (e.g., stiffness and damping). As for high-rise buildings subjected to long-period ground motions, system identification for evaluating only the shear stiffness based on a shear model does not seem to be an appropriate solution to the system identification problem due to the influence of overall bending response. In this paper, a system identification algorithm using a shear-bending model developed in the previous paper is revised to identify both shear and bending stiffnesses. In this algorithm, an ARX (Auto-Regressive eXogenous) model corresponding to the transfer function for interstory accelerations is applied for identifying physical parameters. For the experimental verification of the proposed system identification framework, vibration tests for a 3-story steel mini-structure are conducted. The test structure is specifically designed to measure horizontal accelerations including both shear and bending responses. In order to obtain reliable results, system identification theories for two different inputs are investigated; (a) base input motion by a modal shaker, (b) unknown forced input on the top floor.

Objectives : The aim of this experiment is to find out relationship between the effect of cosmetics and 4 types of pattern identification about fluid-humor, which are based on the general idea of traditional oriental medicine, Qi-Blood and deficiency-excess. Methods : Korean female volunteers in good health (n=25, $23.12{\pm}2.83$) participated in this experiment. Three Korean medical doctors classified them into 4 groups: Blood-deficiency: group A; Blood-excess: group B; Qi-deficiency:group C; Qi-excess:group D). Cosmetics that contains herb extract for Blood deficiency were given to all volunteers and they used the cosmetics for 4 weeks. Volunteers were assessed non-invasively with the skin measuring devices before and after using cosmetics. And we analyzed the correlation of skin physiological parameters with 4 groups. Results : Three doctors diagnosed participants and classified them into 4 groups ; group A(n=8),group B(n=7), group C(n=3), group D(n=5) as highest score. After 4 weeks, facial skin moisture showed no significant difference in comparison between 4 groups. Sebum showed significant increase in Group A and significantly decreased Group B. Measurement of facial skin elasticity tended to increase in Group A, C, D but skin elasticity was decreased significantly in Group B. Conclusions : In case of a group that pattern identification about fluid-humor corresponds to herb extract in cosmetic, skin improving effect was better than the other group that pattern identification oppose to properties of herb in cosmetic. Therefore, from the view of traditional oriental medicine, it is very important to understand user's pattern of identification or physical conditions and properties of herbs in cosmetics on the matter of safety and efficacy.

Traditional experimental verification for nonlinear system identification often faces the problem of experiment model repeatability. In our research, a steel frame experimental model is developed to imitate the behavior of a single story steel frame under horizontal excitation. Two adjustable rotational dampers are used to simulate the plastic hinge effect of the damaged beam-column joint. This model is suggested as a benchmark model for nonlinear dynamics study. Since the nonlinear form provided by the damper is unknown, a Morlet wavelet based method is introduced to identify the mathematical model of this structure under different damping cases. After the model identification, earthquake excitation tests are carried out to verify the generality of the identified model. The results show the extensive applicability and effectiveness of the identification method.

Personal identification using fingerprints needs much calculational effort. Generally, there are various methods for fingerprint-based identification. In this paper, an identification method is proposed which is based on direction distribution of fingerprint ridges. An 8-directional Gabor filter bank is used for extracting the feature vector from the given fingerprint. Then, it is compared with those of registered fingerprints for matching. This method is simple and fast to implement because it uses the information of ridge directions only. An experiment on 532 fingerprints from NIST database and some other source shows its usefulness.
