Objective: The purpose of the study is to develop quantitative usability evaluation criteria for senior-friendly autonomous transportation robot. Background: The Republic of Korea has become the most rapidly aging society, and is anticipated to enter the post-aged society in 2026. To raise the quality of life of a senior with limited mobility and to reduce the burden of caregivers, many high-tech assistive products with information technologies are developed nowadays. The senior-friendly autonomous transportation robot is one person robot vehicle to move a senior to the destination for hospitals, nursing homes or silver town complex. With built-in navigation system and environmental monitoring censors, it automatically seeks the path to the destination and avoids collision to obstacles and pedestrians on the way. Due to the early stage of the product, few usability studies in this field have been done, mostly on general service robots to assist seniors, power wheelchairs and delivery robots. ISO and KS standards for the service robots are focused on safety. Method: Based on the reference usability index, the early draft of the usability evaluation questionnaires was developed. After small group tests and interviews, the experts modified the initial draft to the Usability Evaluation Criteria for Senior-Friendly Autonomous Transportation Robot (UEC-SFATR). Result: UEC-SFATR consisted of 4 subscales - Safety, Controllability, Efficiency and Satisfaction. All of the 4 subscales of UEC-SFATR were passed the reliability criteria by 4 groups of seniors, divided by gender and familiarity of smart-devices. Conclusion: UEC-SFATR covers wider area of user experiences of the SFATR and is a good measurement tool to help both the users and developers of the robot. Application: This study provides guide to the future product development and product competitiveness evaluation by quantifying user experiences for the SFATR.

trans-[$PtNH_3Cl_2L$] (L = $H_2O$, $NH_3$, $Cl^-$, $Br^-$, $I^-$, $CH_3$ 및 $PH_3$)형 백금(Ⅱ)착물계열의 트란스효과를 설명하기 위해 필자들이 수정한 확장 Huckel MO법을 사용했다. 계산에 의하면 L이 보다 좋은 트란스배향리간드일수록 L의 트란스자리에 있는 Pt-N의 결합의 reduced overlap population(ROP)은 감소했다. 즉 이 사실은 보다 좋은 트란스배향리간드 일수록 트란스 효과가 증대되었다. 따라서 일반적인 trans-[$PtTL_2X$] 착물의 트란스효과를 양자화학적으로 설명할 수 있었다.

정보통신설비용 접지전극의 임피던스는 접지전극이 매설되어 있는 토양의 전기적 특성과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 특히 인가된 전계의 주파수에 따른 토양의 유전율과 도전율 특성이 접지전극의 임피던스에 직접적으로 영향을 준다. 접지전극의 임피던스를 계산할 수 있는 상용프로그램은 유전율과 도전율을 수정하여 시뮬레이션하는 것이 불가능하기 때문에 전자계 이론을 적용한 프로그램을 MATLAB으로 구현하였다. 토양의 유전율은 유전완화 모델인 디바이(Debye)식을 적용하였으며, 도전율은 실험에서 얻어진 수식을 다른 논문에서 인용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위해서 실험계를 구성하여 접지전극의 임피던스를 측정하고, 시뮬레이션 결과와 서로 비교하였다. 그 결과, 토양의 유전율과 도전율 특성을 고려한 본 논문 결과가 고려하지 않은 상용프로그램(NEC) 결과 보다 측정값과 더욱 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

구조물이 대형화되고 복잡해짐에 따라 구조물의 체계신뢰도 평가는 매우 어려워지며 많은 계산량을 요구한다. 특히 작용하중들이 시간적 변화특성을 가지거나 구조물의 파괴모드가 여러가지인 경우는 더욱 복잡하다. 구조물에 작용하는 대부분의 하중들은 그 발생강도 뿐만 아니라 발생시기, 발생빈도 등이 무작위특성을 가지므로, 이러한 시간적 변화특성을 합리적으로 반영하기 위해서는 종래의 확률변수 모형보다는 확률과정을 이용한 모형화가 바람직하다. 구조물 체계신뢰도의 근사해법으로 3계구간식 상한치를 이용한 점추정식 근사해가 제안되어졌다. 이 3계 점추정식 근사해는 현재 많이 사용되는 다른 근사해들과 비교할 때 적은 계산량의 증가에도 불구하고 정확도가 상당히 높으며 체계파괴확률 함수의 연속성이 보장된다. 상시하중과 함께 여러 일시하중이 작용할 때, 하중 조합효과를 보다 효과적으로 반영하기 위해 기존의 하중합치법을 보완하여 넓은 한계수준에서 정확도를 높였다.

In the present paper, the fiber theory has been employed to model the reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams (DBs) considering the reinforcing steel bar-concrete interaction. To simulate numerically the behavior of materials, the uniaxial materials' constitutive laws have been employed for reinforcements and concrete and the bond stress-slip between the reinforcing steel bars and surrounding concrete are taken into account. Because of the high sensitivity of DBs to shear deformations, the Timoshenko beam theory has been applied. The shear stress-strain (S-SS) relationship has been defined by the modified compression field theory (MCFT) model. By modeling about 300 RC panels and employing a produced numerical database, a study has been carried out to show the sensitivity of the MCFT model. This is performed based on the multiple linear regression (MLR) models. The results of this research also illustrate how different parameters such as characteristic compressive strength of concrete, yield strength of reinforcements and the percentages of reinforcements in different directions get involved in the shear behavior of RC panels without applying complex theories. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of the MCFT S-SS model, a relatively simplified numerical S-SS model has been proposed. Application of the proposed S-SS model in modeling and analyzing the considered samples indicates that there is a good agreement between the simulated and the experimental test results. The comparison between the proposed S-SS model and the MCFT model indicates that in addition to the advantage of better accuracy, the main advantage of the proposed method is simplicity in application.

Recently, studies on intranasal mucosa delivery of influenza vaccine have been actively developed because of lack of pain and ease of administration. We studied on preparation of nanoparticle delivery system using biodegradable polymer as a poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and their binding characteristics with vaccine. Three kinds of PLGA nanoparticles were prepared by spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion (SESD) method using sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium laurate as an anionic surfactant and Lutrol F68 (polyethylene glycol-block-polypropylene glycol copolymer) as a nonionic surfactant. The 5-aminofluorescein labeled vaccine was coated on the surface of nanoparticles by ionic complex. The complexes between vaccine and nanoparticles were confirmed by change of the size. After vaccine coating on the surface of anionic nanoparticles, particle size was increased from 174 to 1,040 nm. However the size of nonionic nanoparticles was not more increased than size of anionic nanoparticles. The amount of coated vaccine on the surface of PLGA nanoparticles was $14.32\;{\mu}g/mg$ with sodium dodecyl sulfate, $12.41\;{\mu}g/mg$ with sodium laurate, and $9.47{\mu}g/mg$ with Lutrol F68, respectively. In conclusion, prepared nanoparticles in this study is possible to use as a virus-like nanoparticles and it could be accept in the field of influenza vaccine delivery system.

A numerical simulation method has been developed to predict atmospheric flow and stack gas diffusion using a calculation domain of several km around a stack under complex terrain conditions containing buildings. The turbulence closure technique using a modified k-$\varepsilon$-type model under a non hydrostatic assumption was used for the flow calculation, and some of the calculation grids near the ground were treated as buildings using a terrain-following coordinate system. Stack gas diffusion was predicted using the Lagrangian particle model, that is, the stack gas was represented by the trajectories of released particles. The numerical model was applied separately to the flow and stack gas diffusion around a cubical building and to a two-dimensional ridge in this study, before being applied to an actual terrain containing buildings in our next study. The calculated flow and stack gas diffusion results were compared with those obtained by wind tunnel experiments, and the features of flow and stack gas diffusion, such as the increase in turbulent kinetic energy and the plume spreads of the stack gas behind the building and ridge, were reproduced by both calculations and wind tunnel experiments. Furthermore, the calculated profiles of the mean velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and concentration of the stack gas around the cubical building and the ridge showed good agreement with those of wind tunnel experiments.

종래의 탄성파 모델링은 지표를 수평면으로 가정하고 그 아래쪽에 여러 개의 반사면에 대한 모델링이 대부분 이었다. 그러나, 실제 탐사에서는 복잡한 지형을 가진 지표에서 탐사가 수행되기 때문에 탄성 매질에서의 반응을 명확하게 구분해 내는 것이 힘들다. 지표에 탄성파 전파특성을 규명하기 위하여 모델에 지형을 고려할 수 있도록 하여 시간영역 유한요소법을 이용하여 매질의 반응을 구하였다. 이러한 이러한 알고리즘을 이용하여 지표에서 진원을 가했을 때 수평 및 제방(mound), 채널(channel)등의 구조로부터 지표의 수신기에서 합성 탄성파 기록을 관찰하고, 스냅사진(snapshot)을 얻어냄으로써 해석해와 잘 일치함을 확인하였고, 지표 및 지하 반사면에 의한 복잡한 탄성파의 전파 양상을 파악할 수 있었다. 불규칙 지표면을 따라 전파하는 표면파가 모서리에서 새로운 진원으로 작용하여 큰 잡음이 생성됨을 관찰하였고, 지표를 따라 전파하는 높은 에너지의 레일리파, 상대적으로 낮은 압축파, 전단파 등의 전파 양상으로부터 파의 천이 상태를 관찰할 수 있었다.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology provides high data rate and enhanced quality of service for wireless communications. Since the benefits from MIMO result in a heavy computational load in detectors, the design of low-complexity suboptimum receivers is currently an active area of research. Lattice-reduction-aided detection (LRAD) has been shown to be an effective low-complexity method with near-maximum-likelihood performance. In this paper, we advocate the use of systolic array architectures for MIMO receivers, and in particular we exhibit one of them based on LRAD. The "Lenstra-Lenstra-Lov$\acute{a}$sz (LLL) lattice reduction algorithm" and the ensuing linear detections or successive spatial-interference cancellations can be located in the same array, which is considerably hardware-efficient. Since the conventional form of the LLL algorithm is not immediately suitable for parallel processing, two modified LLL algorithms are considered here for the systolic array. LLL algorithm with full-size reduction-LLL is one of the versions more suitable for parallel processing. Another variant is the all-swap lattice-reduction (ASLR) algorithm for complex-valued lattices, which processes all lattice basis vectors simultaneously within one iteration. Our novel systolic array can operate both algorithms with different external logic controls. In order to simplify the systolic array design, we replace the Lov$\acute{a}$sz condition in the definition of LLL-reduced lattice with the looser Siegel condition. Simulation results show that for LR-aided linear detections, the bit-error-rate performance is still maintained with this relaxation. Comparisons between the two algorithms in terms of bit-error-rate performance, and average field-programmable gate array processing time in the systolic array are made, which shows that ASLR is a better choice for a systolic architecture, especially for systems with a large number of antennas.
