In Chapter 40, "Information for decision-making", of Agenda 21, it was Slated that, "indicators of sustainable development need to be developed to provide solid bases for decision-making at all levels and to contribute to a self-regulating sustainability of integrated environment and development systems." Sustainable development has been defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs", An indicator that measures sustainability should therefore focus on this definition. One of the most widely used frameworks for environmental indicators is the Pressure-State-Response model proposed by the OECD. And we introduced the the Driving force-State-Response framework, the adaptation of Pressure-State-Response model, for UN sustainable development indicators. Therefore, in our country, indicators for sustainable development should be developed by using the DSR framework.

Rapid social change affects residential environments and this in turn creates new stimuli to which people have to adapt. These stimuli have been seen to increase stress levels. Therefore, dwellers in these environments try to reduce stress through various methods. The purpose of this paper is to: 1) identify the general trends of coping styles about residential environmental stress, 2) analyze the differences in socio-demographic characteristics and how the physical characteristics of buildings affect stress, find out how personal backgrounds affect stress levels and the ability to get rid of environmental-related stress. The subjects in this study consisted of people living in multi-family housing in Gwang-ju. The city is divided into 5 districts and used quota sampling. 324 housewives were surveyed from the households by self-administered questionnaires. The survey was conducted in December, 2006, after the questionnaire was revised based on the results of preliminary survey. After all the questionnaires were collected, the data was coded and analyzed using the SPSS 12.0 program.

GENIE is a learning-based engine for building intelligent systems. Learning in GENIE proceeds by incrementally modeling its human or technical environment using a neural network and a genetic algorithm. The neural network is used to represent the knowledge for solving a given task and has the ability to grow its structure. The genetic algorithm provides the neural network with training examples by actively exploring the example space of the problem. Integrated into the training examples by actively exploring the example space of the problem. Integrated into the GENIE system architecture, the genetic algorithm and the neural network build a virtually self-teaching autonomous learning system. This paper describes the structure of GENIE and its learning components. The performance is demonstrated on a robot learning problem. We also discuss the lessons learned from experiments with GENIE and point out further possibilities of effectively hybridizing genetic algorithms with neural networks and other softcomputing techniques.

Standark polysomnograms, and questionnaires were measured using 4 subjects during simulated 150m heliox saturation dives. These measurements were performed on 4 pre-dive nights, 8 bottom nights, 6 decompression nights and post decompression nights. Sleep disturbances caused by frequent awakening were found throughout the dive period, but the disturbances were more intense on the second and fourth nights at the bottom and on the third and fourth nights of decompression. Stage 4 of sleep decreased every night at the bottom and from the first through third nights of decompression. The subjective self-evaluation of sleep was in agreement with the physiological variables. Complaints of subjective feeling of fatigue slightly increased throughout the dive period. It could be surmised that sleep disturbance or fatigue was not as significant under the 150m deep hyperbalic environment of He-O/ sub 2/ mixture, and therefore should be able to be coped with partially, through there moght be individual differences in adaptation.

In this paper, we re-analyzed the fuzzy controller as conventional PID controller structure, and proposed a self tuning fuzzy PID controller whose input output scaling factors were tuned automatically. At first stage, the tuning parameters of fuzzy controller were determined by Ziegler-Nichols tuning method and then they were adjusted as the delay time and process environment were changed. Proposed controller was simple in its structrue and computational burden was small so that on line adaptation was easy to apply to. The result of computer simulation and practical experiment showed the proposed controller's excellent performance

This paper presents a robust control method via the intelligent adaptive backstepping design technique for stable walking of nine-link biped robots with unknown model uncertainties and external disturbances. In our control structure, the self recurrent wavelet neural network(SRWNN) which has the information storage ability is used to observe the uncertainties of the biped robots. The adaptation laws for all weights of the SRWNN are induced from the Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used for on-line controlling biped robots. Also, we prove that all signals in the closed-loop adaptive system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Through computer simulations of a nine-link biped robot with model uncertainties and external disturbances, we illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

While there are a number of guidelines used throughout the world in the assessment of acceptability of tall building accelerations, none are based on systematically conducted surveys of occupant reaction to wind-induced motion. In this study, occupant response data were gathered by both a self-reporting mechanism and by interviewer-conducted surveys in control tower structures over a period of four years. These two approaches were designed in conjunction with experimental psychologists to ensure unbiased reporting. The data allowed analysis of perception thresholds and tolerability at different building frequencies and in different wind climates. The long-term nature of the studies also allowed an investigation of the causes and effects of adaptation to building motion. As the surveys were designed to allow multiple use during single storms, the effects of exposure duration were investigated. A final exit survey was conducted at the primary survey location to investigate views of the acceptability of wind-induced motion and the factors underlying these views. The findings of the field studies indicate that none of the currently used acceleration guidelines address all of the factors that contribute to occupant dissatisfaction. An alternative framework for assessing acceleration acceptability is proposed.

기존에 연구된 자가 적응 시스템은 하위 레벨에서 서로가 연관되어 있는 경우가 많기 때문에 분석, 변경, 재사용이 어렵다는 단점을 갖고 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 시스템이 외장형 자가 적응 시스템이다. 하지만 외장형 자가 적응 시스템은 probe, gauge 등 다수의 컴포넌트가 동시에 동작하기 때문에 시스템의 복잡도를 증가시키는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 불필요한 컴포넌트의 사용으로 인한 리소스 낭비를 방지하기 위한 제어 모듈을 자동으로 생성하는 방법론은 제시하고, 이것을 적용한 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐를 제안한다. 이러한 제안 방법론을 통해 기존에 필요 여부와 관계없이 동시에 동작하던 컴포넌트의 실행을 효율적으로 관리해 시스템의 복잡도를 감소시킬 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 평가를 위해 제안 방법론을 웹 서버에 적용하여, 일반적인 경우와 제어모듈이 생성되어 작동할 때의 성능을 비교하였다.

Stress affects the type of adaptation required for each case and the type of social support is also different. In order for social support to have a buffer effect on stress, we want to understand how to measure social support and support according to specific stress situations. Therefore, this study examines coping behaviors of community service workers exposed to these job stresses and examines the effect of support system (family support, peer support, superior support) on coping behavior. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of stress, coping resources and coping behaviors of community service workers. In this study, self - report method was used to investigate the questionnaire using structured questionnaires. In this study, the statistical program was used for data analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.
