Multi-level geographic data can be mainpulated by a window query such as a zoom operation. In order to handle multi-level geographic data efficiently, a spatial indexing method supporting a window query is needed. However, the conventional spatial indexing methods are not efficient to access multi-level geographic data quickly. To solve it, other a few spatial indexing methods for multi-level geographic data are known. However these methods do not support all types of multi-level geographic data. This paper presents a new efficient spatial indexing method, the MLR-tree for window query of multi-level geographic data. The MLR-tree offers both high search performance and no data redundancy. Experiments show them. Moreover, the MLR-tree supports all types of multi-level geographic data.

In case of public transit such as bus system, the probability concept is used to evaluate the Level-of-Service of the operations. And each levels could be classified according to the linear probability value. (TCQSM: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual-2nd Edition, TRB, Washington DC., 2003) In this case, the drivers or passengers wouldn't think that the service level isn't equivalent to the linear probability value. Thus the linear probability value doesn't exactly reflect the service level. This study shows the problems of using the linear probability value in classifying the service level through the case of evaluation of bus operation's punctuality, presented in TCQSM. To make up for the problems of such case, two methodologies are presented in this study. The method of determining Level-of-Service criteria using probability density of headway variation's distribution, presented in this paper, adequately reflects passenger's expected waiting time. According to the application result to real bus operation data, it tis better than the method of TCQSM to evaluate the reliability of bus operations. However further research about the relations between utility difference and passenger feeling of service level in necessary to apply the method that uses the utility function. It remains as the limitation of this paper.

This paper proposes a novel level-shifted PWM (LS-PWM) strategy for fault tolerant cascaded multilevel inverter. Most proposed fault-tolerant operation methods in many of studies are based on a phase-shifted PWM (PS-PWM) method. To apply these methods to multilevel inverter systems using LS-PWM, two additional steps will be implemented. During the occurrence of a single-inverter-cell fault, the carrier bands scheme is reconfigured and modulation levels of inverter cells are reassigned in this proposed fault-tolerant operation. The proposed strategy performs balanced three-phase line-to-line voltages and line currents when a switching device fault occurs in a cascaded multilevel inverter using LS-PWM. Simulation and experimental results are included in the paper to verify the proposed method.

A small-signal modeling approach for a three-level boost (TLB) converter and a design methodology for a double-loop controller are proposed in this study. Conventional modeling of TLB converters involves three state variables. Moreover, TLB converters have two operation modes depending on the duty ratio. Consequently, complex mathematical calculations are required for controller design. This study proposes a simple system modeling method that uses two state variables, unlike previous methods that require three state variables. Analysis shows that the transfer functions of the two operation modes can be expressed as identical equations. This condition means that the linear feedback controller can be applied to all operational ranges, that is, for full duty ratios. The design method for a double-loop controller using a PI controller is presented in step-by-step sequences. Simulation and experimental verifications are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the small-signal analysis and control system design.

The equipment composed of many complicated electronic stuffs undergoes diverse stresses caused by mechanical vibrations during its service. Thus, to ensure its proper operation in the field a simulated vibration test has to be carried out in the laboratory with the Vibration Qualification Level, the test specification, which can include the real environment. In this paper we intent to deal with method and procedure for determining the Vibration Qualification Level so as to estimate the vibration-endurance for the equipment precisely.

This study aims to present a method using event sourcing patterns and blockchain as a way to cope with vulnerabilities in memory manipulation at the client level. To verify the plan, the method of running the memory operation application was analyzed, and the performance was compared and analyzed when the memory operation prevention plan was applied by fabricating a test application. As a result of the analysis, the usage of memory increased compared to the method of XOR operation by storing major data in one memory, but it was possible to prevent the operation of the memory operation program without significantly affecting the performance of the game.

This paper introduces a scaled hardware model for the 10kVA, 1kV, 11-level MMC (Modular Multilevel Converter), which was manufactured in the lab based on computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC. Various experiments were conducted to verify the major operation algorithms of MMC. The hardware scaled-model developed in the lab can be utilized for analyzing the operation analysis and performance evaluation of MMC according to the modulation pattern and redundancy operation scheme.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the degree of body image, self esteem and quality of life, to identify general and disease of characteristics on influencing this factors with the intention of providing basal data for developing nursing intervention to promote body image, self esteem and quality of life. Method: Subjects of this study were 91 grown-up congenital heart patients over 18 years in 2 tertiary hospitals. The data on body image, self esteem and quality of life were collected through questionnaire from March to April 2004. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation, ANOVA and tukey test using SAS for Windows 8.1 program. Result: 1) The mean scores of body image, self esteem and quality of life were 63.01, 25.29 and 496.79. 2) Body image was correlated with age(p=.0239), educational level(p=.0182), diagnosis(p=.0066), number of operation(p=.0148), cyanosis(p<.0001), complication(p=.0096) and NYHA level(p=.0378). 3) Self esteem was correlated with education level(p=.0026), economic level(p=.0240), number of operation(p=.0113) and cyanosis (p=.0006). 4) Quality of life was correlated with age(p=.0432) and diagnosis(p=.0020), number of operation (p=.0063), duration of last operation(p=.0225), cyanosis(p<.0001), complication(p=.0090) and NYHA level(p<.0001). 5) There was significantly positive relationship between body image, self esteem and quality of life. Subjects with more positive body image had higher self esteem(r=.7897, p<.05) and subjects with higher self esteem had higher quality of life(r=.6091, p<.05).

In this paper, Optimal operation plan through load analysis of industrial end-user is suggested. It calculated economic feasibility of ESS with detailed power lad analysis and conditions. Generally, if the latest maximum power is less than 30% of contracted power, it can not be peak shaving operation plan. and if the peak load level stays stead for 24 hours, it is difficult peak shaving for ESS. In addition to, When the peak load is occurred in summer or winter, a hybrid operation method combining the peak shaving plan and the time shift method is proposed. Therefore, When ESS is installed in industrial electrical customer, it is achieved best effect through the optimal operation plan.
