For the effective reduction of structural vibration level it is important to obtain the exciting force components. But, sometimes direct force measurement is infeasible due to the geometric limitation of sensor placement. In this case, indirect force identification becomes useful tool for obtaining input force information. In this paper, indirect force technique was applied to air-jet weaving machine and shows some numerical results.

A preliminary study has been done to investigate the thermal performance of an indirect system. Direct systems are also analyzed and the results are compared with those of the indirect system where possible. Values from the numerical simulation show very good agreement with the measured data. Although the indirect system is generally expensive and not as efficient as direct systems, it is more reliable in frigid weather conditions like the winters in Korea.

In this paper, we demeonstrate that neural networks can be used effectively for the control of nonlinear dynamical system. To adaptively control a plant, there are two distinct approach. these are direct control and indirect control. Both direct and Indirect adaptive control are trained using static back propagation. In indirect, using the resulting identification model, which contains neural networks and linear dynamical elements as subsystems, the parameters of the controller are adjusted.

In this study, first, current state and future prospects of indirect real estate investment systems after foreign exchange crisis are analyzed, and second, policy alternatives for activating indirect real estate investment markets are examined. After foreign exchange crisis, various indirect real estate investment systems, such as REITs, ABS and CRC, were introduced. Present market size of indirect real estate investment is not larger than expected. The reasons are the problems of incomplete system on the one hand, and real estate market conditions on the other hand. But long term prospects of indirect real estate investment markets may not be pessimistic. Considering the positive effects of indirect real estate investment systems to the real estate and financial markets, policy supports for activating indirect real estate investment market may be needed. The representative alternatives are reconciliation and integration of indirect real estate investment systems, upgrading the infrastructure of real estate industry, and activating the networks between indirect real estate investment markets and related markets such as financial makets, capital markets, restructuring markets.

Objectives : Indirect moxibustion is one of the thermotherapy in Korean medicine and buffer of ginger and mankshood slice are common materials to be used. However it is difficult to control the power of thermal stimulation and the stimulation is greatly influenced by the characteristic of buffer. So we research on the buffer characteristic of indirect moxibustion according to the thickness, diameter and water content changes. Methods : We used thermocouples to measure temperature from surface to depth of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm on tissue model and calculated peak temperature($^{\circ}C$). The data were analyzed with student t-test and one-way ANOVA(p<0.05). Results : 1. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with ginger were determined by thickness of ginger slice and temperature changes according to the thickness at intervals of 1mm but according to the diameter at intervals of 4mm. 2. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with mankshood were determined by thickness of mankshood slice also. The peak temperature of mankshood moxibustion was higher than that of ginger moxibustion. 3. In this study, 2mm-thick-ginger slice and 3mm-thick-mankshood slice were suitable for indirect moxibustion. Variation in the thickness of which is more efficient to control the power of thermal stimulation on indirect moxibustion. 4. The more water loss we got on ginger slice, the higher peak temperature we measured at the surface of moxibustion. But the thermal stimulation was not conducted more than 2mm in the depth. 5. The thickness and water content of buffer are important in indirect moxibustion. Conclusions : The temperature of indirect moxibustion depends on the thickness of buffer than the diameter of it. Therefore, it is more efficient according to the thickness of buffer so that we control the power of thermal stimulation. And water content of buffer is one of the important factor in indirect moxibustion.

The purpose is a comparative evaluation in the DR System according to the dosimetry and image quality of the quantitative and objective via Direct digital radiography, Indirect digital radiography, Image intensifier (Charge Coupled Device type) digital radiography. The experimental method used rando phantom and measured the entrance surface dose. And through using the measured entrance surface dose and then using the PCXMC program were evaluated risk due to irradiation and the effective dose. SNR and NPS and CNR were measured and analyzed by using 21cm acryl phantom. Significance of measured value was evaluated by statistics method. Entrance surface dose, major organ dose, effective dose all of them were measured the lowest rated in direct DR when it is on the basis of direct DR dose, high-dose ratio were measured in I.I DR approximately 1.3 times, indirect DR approximately 2.4 times. Risk in accordance with radiation also was measured same as dose ratio. On the conclusion that SNR measurement result based on direct DR SNR measurements, low-SNR ratio were measured in I.I DR approximately 7.25 times, indirect DR approximately 1.48 times. On the conclusion that CNR measurement result based on direct DR CNR measurements, high-dose ratio were measured in I.I type DR approximately 1.16 tims and low-dose ratio were measured in indirect DR approximately 0.87 times. Therefore Direct DR system using a-selenium sensing element to detect x-ray photon is thought effectively at the examination such as infant to sensitive irradiation and the genital gland. Because quality image is built by low dose. Also when it is necessary that image test requiring many diagnosis information, indirect DR system is thought effectively.

This paper deals with the nonlinear optimal control approach to helicopter maneuver problems using the indirect method. We apply a penalty function to the deviation from a prescribed trajectory to convert the system optimality to an unconstrained optimal control problem. The resultant two-point boundary value problem has been solved by using the multiple-shooting method. This paper focuses on the effect of the number of shooting nodes and initialization methods on the numerical solution in order to define the minimum number of shooting nodes required for numerical convergence and to provide a method increasing convergence radius of the indirect method. The results of this study can provide an approach to improve numerical stability and convergence of the indirect method when we solve the optimal control problems of an inherently unstable helicopter system.

This study estimated indirect economic benefits of the introduction of Korean Spatial Information System. Korean academic society has been reluctant to consider indirect benefits as an item of benefits in cost-benefit analysis. Nevertheless, other countries including England recommend to consider some indirect benefits like option value as an important item of cost-benefit analysis, especially in the case of transportation projects. This study estimated indirect benefits of the introduction of Korean Spatial Information System using Contingent Valuation Methods: Indirect benefits of the project are so significant in terms of statistics and substantial in terms of magnitude that decision making can differ from the case without consideration of such indirect benefits.
