A methodology for jointed rock mass characterization starts with a research based on geological data and tests in order to define the geotechnical models used to support the decision about location, orientation and shape of cavities. Afterwards a more detailed characterization of the rock mass is performed allowing the update of the geomechanical parameters defined in the previous stage. The observed results can be also used to re-evaluate the geotechnical model using inverse methodologies. Cases of large underground structures modeling are presented. The first case concerns the modeling of cavities in volcanic formations. Then, an application to a large station from the Metro do Porto project developed in heterogeneous granite formations is also presented. Finally, the last case concerns the modeling of large cavities for a hydroelectric powerhouse complex. The finite element method and finite difference method software used is acquired from Rocscience and ITASCA, respectively.

미세먼지 수집을 위하여 필요한 위치 선정 방안과 위치 선정시 중요한 바람길분석, 수요조사, 유동인구, 교통량 등의 중요 기준을 반영하여 최종 선정하여야 하며, 이에 따라 설치된 측정기로부터 데이터 수집을 위해 지역적, 환경적, 지형적 요소를 감안하여 수집 항목을 결정하여야 한다. 데이터 수집시 실시간 또는 배치(Batch)로 할 것인지 여부를 결정하여야 하며, 이 보고서에서는 실시간으로 데이터 수집하는 경우를 설명하였다. 데이터 수집시 정확도를 높이기 위해 결측값, 이상값인 전처리 단계를 거쳐서 분석과 Modeling 구축을 통하여 정확도가 높은 알고리즘을 선정하여야한다. 정확도가 높은 알고리즘은 검증용 데이터 셋으로 적합성을 검증하여, 측정기 설치 위치의 적합성, 데이터 수집의 적합성, Modeling 구축 및 평가가 적합함을 지표로서 제시하여 적합성 검증을 하고자 한다.

The expansion of double-income households is increasing the social interest in child care. In particular, children's entrance into elementary school is considered to be the main cause of women's career break as well as childbirth. This study proposes an optimal location selection method for caring facilities for elementary school students. As a candidate for care facilities, we selected existing child care facilities. We proposed a dual structure evaluation method that considers locational characteristics as well as mathematical optimization when selecting the optimal location. The experiment was conducted in Songpa-gu, Seoul. A total of 36 optimal locations were selected from a total of 258 candidate facilities. First, the evaluation criteria were established using public data, and the primary candidate facilities were selected by ranking the location scores. At this time mesh resampling method was used to integrate various public data into one. Next, the final care facilities were selected using the p-median method. The results chosen are not only the optimal location considering total distance but also satisfy various location criteria considering the characteristics of the care facility. We expect that the proposed method will contribute to public data convergence or utilization and it will be helpful for policy decision when selecting the optimal location for public facilities.

In many security monitoring contexts, the performance or efficiency of surveillance sensors/networks based on a single sensor type may be limited by environmental conditions, like illumination change. It is well known that different modes of sensors can be complementary, compensating for failures or limitations of individual sensor types. From a location analysis and modeling perspective, a challenge is how to locate different modes of sensors to support security monitoring. A coverage-based optimization model is proposed as a way to simultaneously site k different sensor types. This model considers common coverage among different sensor types as well as overlapping coverage for individual sensor types. The developed model is used to site sensors in an urban area. Computational results show that common and overlapping coverage can be modeled simultaneously, and a rich set of solutions exists reflecting the tradeoff between common and overlapping coverage.

The prediction of user location within a building can be applied to many areas like visitor guiding. The existing methods for solving this problem consider limited number of locations a user visited in the past to predict the current location. It cannot model the complex movement patterns, and makes the system inefficient by modeling simple ones too detail. Also it causes prediction errors. In this paper, there is no restriction on the length of past movement patterns to consider for current location prediction. For this purpose, a modified search tree is used. The search tree is constructed to make exact matching as needed for location prediction. The search tree makes the efficient and accurate prediction possible.

In this paper, the fault line selection and location problems of single line-to-ground (SLG) fault in distribution network are addressed. Firstly, the adaptive filtering property for empirical mode decomposition is formulated. Then in view of the different characteristics showed by the intrinsic mode functions(IMF) under different fault inception angles obtained by empirical mode decomposition, the sign of peak value about the low-frequency IMF and the capacitance transient energy is chosen as the fault line selection criteria according to the different proportion occupied by the low-frequency components. Finally, the fault location is determined based upon the comparison result with adjacent fault passage indicators' (FPI) waveform on the strength of the interaction between the distribution terminal unit(DTU) and the FPI. Moreover, the logic nodes regarding to fault line selection and location are newly expanded according to IEC61850, which also provides reference to acquaint the DTU or FPI's function and monitoring. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed fault line selection and location methods.

A variety of location-based services applications, such as missing children search, emergency rescue requests and so on that requiring high-precision location information are increasing. Precision of GPS that can be used in most systems, however, is still low. In this paper, we design and propose a low cost differential global positioning system(DGPS) based on Web services using object-oriented modeling technique which can offer useable location service, variety device and safe service in wireless environment. The proposed system is designed with UML based on object-oriented modeling to maximize system recyclability and system scalability. In addition, we would like to improve the precision of the GPS in accordance with mobile station location when build low cost mobile station, location differential framework and server. We implement a communication interface based on web-service which is available in the form of a variety of services and can offer stable according to mobile environments. Finally, as performance evaluation results, we can obtain precision location within 1 ~ 2m through proposed system and 88.5% probability of less than 2m.

This study numerically analyzes the thermal and flow characteristics inside the header in PFHE(parallel-flow heat exchanger) by employing a three-dimensional turbulence modeling. The following quantities are examined by varying the injection angle of the working fluid, the location of entrance and the shape of entrance: flow nonuniformity, heat transfer rate, and flow distribution in each passage. The result shows that the degree of significance among the parameters affecting the header part is in the order of the injection angle, the shape of entrance, and the location of entrance. The result also indicates that heat transfer rates compared to the reference model are increased by about 152% for the angle of injection of -$20^{\circ}C$, by about 127% for the shape of entrance with right and left long rectangular form, and by about 108% for the location of entrance located at the lowest Position.

Miniaturization of computing devices, and advances in wireless communication and positioning systems will create a wide and increasing range of database applications such as location-based services, tracking and transportation systems that has to deal with Moving Objects. Various types of queries could be posted to moving objects, including past, present and future queries. The key problem is how to model the location of moving objects and enable Database Management System (DBMS) to predict the future location of a moving object. It is obvious that there is a need for an innovative, generic, conceptually clean and application-independent approach for spatio-temporal handling data. This paper presents behavioral aspect of the spatio-temporal databases for managing and querying moving objects. Our objective is to impelement and extend the Spatial TAU (STAU) system developed by Dr.Pelekis that provides spatio-temporal functionality to an Object-Relational Database Management System to support modeling and querying moving objecs. The results of the impelementation are demonstrated in this paper.
