Time history analyses have been preferred commonly in earthquake engineering area to determine earthquake performances of structures in recent years. Advances in computer technology and structural analysis have led to common usage of time history analyses. Eurocode 8 allows the use of real earthquake records as an input for linear and nonlinear time history analyses of structures. However, real earthquake records with the desired characteristics sometimes may not be found, for example depending on soil classes, in this case artificial and synthetic earthquake records can be used for seismic analyses rather than real records. Selected earthquake records should be scaled to a code design spectrum to reduce record to record variability in structural responses of considered structures. So, scaling of earthquake records is one of the most important procedures of time history analyses. In this paper, four real earthquake records are scaled to Eurocode 8 design spectrums by using SESCAP (Selection and Scaling Program) based on time domain scaling method and developed by using MATLAB, GUI software, and then scaled and real earthquake records are used for linear time history analyses of a six-storied building. This building is modeled as spatial by SAP2000 software. The objectives of this study are to put basic procedures and criteria of selecting and scaling earthquake records in a nutshell, and to compare the effects of scaled earthquake records on structural response with the effects of real earthquake records on structural response in terms of record to record variability of structural response. Seismic analysis results of building show that record to record variability of structural response caused by scaled earthquake records are fewer than ones caused by real earthquake records.

Multi-wavelength variability is a staple of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Optical variability probes the nature of the central engine of AGN at smaller linear scales than conventional imaging and spectroscopic techniques. Previous studies have shown that optical variability is more prevalent at longer timescales and at shorter wavelengths. Intra-night variability can be explained through the damped random walk model but small samples and inhomogeneous data have made constraining this model hard. To understand the properties and physical mechanism of intra-night optical variability, we are performing the KMTNet Active Nuclei Variability Survey (KANVaS). Using KMTNet, we aim to study the intra-night variability of ~1000 AGN at a magnitude depth of ~19mag in R band over a total area of ${\sim}24deg^2$ on the sky. Test data in the COSMOS, XMM-LSS, and S82-2 fields was obtained over 4, 6, and 8 nights respectively during 2015, in B, V, R, and I bands. Each night was composed of 5-13 epoch with ~30 min cadence and 80-120 sec exposure times. As a pilot study, we analyzed data in the COSMOS field where we reach a magnitude depth of ~19.5 in R band (at S/N~100) with seeing varying between 1.5-2.0 arcsec. We used the Chandra-COSMOS catalog to identify 166 AGNs among 549 AGNs at B<23. We performed differential photometry between the selected AGN and nearby stars, achieving photometric uncertainty ~0.01mag. We employ various standard time-series analysis tools to identify variable AGN, including the chi-square test. Preliminarily results indicate that intra-night variability is found for ~17%, 17%, 8% and 7% of all X-ray selected AGN in the B, V, R, and I band, respectively. The majority of the identified variable AGN are classified as Type 1 AGN, with only a handful of Type 2 AGN showing evidence for variability. The work done so far confirms there are more variable AGN at shorter wavelengths and that intra-night variability most likely originates in the accretion disk of these objects. We will briefly discuss the quality of the data, challenges we encountered, solutions we employed for this work, and our updated future plans.

Autonomic nervous system of the anesthetized patients can be influenced by the many kinds of stimulations such as intubation, surgical incision and so on. The changes of the heart rates and blood pressures are surrogates of responses of the autonomic system to the external stimulations. Recently, the power spectral analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV) made it easy to know the fractions and changes of sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic systems. In this study, the changes of pulse transit time, one of the response of vessels to stimulations, was investigated in relation to the HRV. Ten patients were examined and average age is 22.5 $\pm$ 11.04, average weight is 63 $\pm$ 14.4 kg. The patients were anesthetized only by sevoflurane inhalation. Pulse transit time is determined by calculating the difference of the time between the R peak of ECG and the characteristic point of the plethysmography. Power spectral density (PSD) of the HRV was achieved in the frequency of 0.04-0.15 (LF) and 0.15-0.4 (HF). Compared to preanesthetic period the values of LF and LF/HF ratio of HRV were decreased (p<0.05). HF and PTT was increased in anesthetic state with sevoflurane. Otherwise, after intubation, the HF was decreased and LF, LF/HF ratio and PTT were increased. PSD of the HRV is well-known for the index of the autonomic nervous activity. Not only HRV but PTT analysis also is a useful index reflecting the autonomic responses to various stimulations. And this analysis is useful in bed side monitoring because the calculating method is simple and it takes shorter processing time compared to the HRV analysis.

수동 시역전 기법은 시공간적인 집속효과를 통해 다중경로 채널응답에 의한 인접 심볼간 간섭의 영향을 줄임으로써 수중통신 시스템의 오류 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법이다. 이러한 수동 시역전 기법은 일반적으로 시역전 결합에 사용되는 수신신호가 많을수록 큰 공간 다이버시티 이득을 얻기 때문에 많은 수의 수신기를 사용할 때 우수한 통신 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 개수의 수신기를 사용하더라도 많은 수의 수신기를 사용할 때와 근접한 통신 성능을 얻을 수 있는 수신기의 개수와 조합에 대해 분석한다. 분석을 위해 2015년 5월에 제주 남서쪽 해역에서 수행된 SAVEX15(Shallow-water Acoustic Variability Experiment 2015) 실험 데이터를 활용한다. 음향채널이 존재하는 채널 특성 때문에 에너지가 집중되는 수심이 존재하였고 에너지가 집중되는 수심에 존재하는 수신기를 포함하여 수동 시역전 결합을 할 때, 일부의 수신기만을 사용하여 최적에 가까운 통신 성능을 도출할 수 있음을 보인다.

지하수자원의 적절한 관리를 위한 정보제공을 위해서는 강수량과 지하수 취수가 지하수위에 미치는 영향분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 남동쪽 표선유역 중 산간지역 9개 지하수위 관측정 지점을 대상으로 정규화된 표준편차에 의해 변환된 시계열자료와 교차상관계수를 이용하여 강수량-지하수위 및 지하수취수량-지하수위 간의 상관성을 비교분석하였다. 먼저 일단위 원시 시계열자료를 이용하여 강수량-지하수위의 교차상관계수를 산정한 결과 최대 0.3의 낮은 교차상관계수를 가졌으나 정규화된 표준편차를 이용한 결과는 최대 0.8의 교차상관계수를 얻음으로써 더욱 명확한 상관성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 강수량의 변동성과 지하수위의 변동성은 대부분 양의 교차상관계수를 가졌으나, 취수량의 변동성과 지하수위의 변동성은 대부분 음의 교차상관계수를 가짐으로써 본 연구 대상지역의 지하수위는 취수량의 영향은 거의 받지 않고 강수량의 영향을 크게 받음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 성판악과 교래 강우관측소가 관측정 지하수위에 미치는 상대적인 영향을 비교분석한 결과 상대적으로 하류쪽에 위치한 교래 강우관측소의 강수량이 더 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 지하수위 변동분석 방법은 향후 다른 지역의 강수량과 지하수 취수량이 지하수위 변동성에 미치는 영향분석에 간편하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 서비스 지향 아키텍처 (Service Oriented Architecture SOA) 기반의 애플리케이션 개발에 맞게 비즈니스 프로세스의 유연성을 확보하고 재사용을 증진시키기 위하여 비즈니스 프로세스 패밀리 모델 (Business Process Family Model: BPFM)이 제시되었다. BPFM은 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인 방법의 가변성 분석 기법을 사용하여 비즈니스 프로세스 군 (family)에서 나타날 수 있는 가변성을 분석하여 이를 명시적으로 표현하고 있는 모델이다. BPFM으로부터 여러 개의 비즈니스 프로세스 모델 (Business Process Model: BPM)을 개발하기 위해서는 가변성 결정 및 가지치기(Decision and Pruning) 과정을 거쳐야 한다. 이 때 가변성 사이에는 서로 협력적 또는 배타적인 관계를 가질 수 있고 이는 가변성 결정과 가지치기에 영향을 미치게 되는데, 현재 제시된 BPFM에는 이러한 바인딩 정보에 대해서 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비즈니스 프로세스 군에서 식별될 수 있는 가변성들 사이의 의존관계 유형을 분석하고 이러한 가변성 정보를 독립된 의존관계 분석모델로 표현하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 추출된 모델을 기반으로 하나의 가변성 결정으로부터 영향을 받는 다른 가변성들을 추적하여 선결정 처리 할 수 있는 방법을 제공한다. 본 방법을 이용함으로써 가변성 결정회수를 줄일 수 있고, 또한 잘못된 가변성 결정으로 인한 BPM의 기능 불일치를 해소할 수 있음을 사례연구를 통해 보인다.

When purchase prices of a raw material fluctuate over time, the total purchasing cost is mainly affected by reordering time. Existing researches focus on deciding the right time when the demand for each period is replenished at the lowest cost. However, the decision is based on expected future prices which usually turn out to include some error. This discrepancy between expected prices and actual prices deteriorates the performance of inventory models dealing with fluctuating purchase prices. In this paper, we propose a new inventory model which incorporates not only cost but also risk into making up a replenishment schedule to meet each period's demand. For each replenishment schedule, the risk is defined to be the variance of its total cost. By introducing the risk into the objective function, the variability of the total cost can be mitigated, and eventually more stable replenishment schedule will be obtained. According to experimental results from crude oil inventory management, the proposed model showed better performance over other models in respect of variability and cost.

Symbiotic stars are long-orbital-period interacting binaries characterized by extended emission over the whole electromagnetic range and by complex photometric and spectroscopic variability. In this contribution, I will present some high-cadence, long-term optical light curves of confirmed and candidate symbiotic stars in the Magellanic Clouds. By careful visual inspection and combined time series analysis techniques, we investigate for the first time in a systematic way the photometric properties of these astrophysical objects, trying in particular to distinguish the evolutionary status of the cool component, to provide its first-order pulsation ephemeris and to link all this information with the physical parameters of the binary system as a whole. Finally, I will discuss a new, promising photometric technique, potentially able to discover Symbiotic Stars in the Local Group of Galaxies without the recourse to costly spectroscopic follow-up.

Statistical process control (SPC) and engineering process control (EPC) are based on different strategies for processes quality improvement. SPC reduces process variability by detecting and eliminating special causes of process variation. while EPC reduces process variability by adjusting compensatory variables to keep the quality variable close to target. Recently there has been needs for a process control proceduce which combines the tow strategies. This paper considers a combined scheme which simultaneously applies SPC and EPC techniques to reduce the variation of a process. The process model under consideration is an integrated moving average(IMA) process with a step shift. The EPC part of the scheme adjusts the process back to target at every fixed monitoring intervals, which is referred to a repeated adjustment scheme. The SPC part of the scheme uses an exponentially weighted moving average(EWMA) of observed deviation from target to detect special causes. A Markov chain model is developed to relate the scheme's expected cost per unit time to the design parameters of he combined control scheme. The expected cost per unit time is composed of off-target cost, adjustment cost, monitoring cost, and false alarm cost.
