In this study, a novel and flexible recommender system was developed, based on product taxonomy and usage patterns of users. The proposed system consists of the following four steps : (i) estimation of the product-preference matrix, (ii) construction of the product-preference matrix, (iii) estimation of the popularity and similarity levels for sought-after products, and (iv) recom- mendation of a products for the user. The product-preference matrix for each user is estimated through a linear combination of clicks, basket placements, and purchase statuses. Then the preference matrix of a particular genre is constructed by computing the ratios of the number of clicks, basket placements, and purchases of a product with respect to the total. The popularity and similarity levels of a user’s clicked product are estimated with an entropy index. Based on this information, collaborative and content-based filtering is used to recommend a product to the user. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach, an empirical study was conducted by constructing an experimental e-commerce site. Our results clearly showed that the proposed hybrid method is superior to conventional methods.

There are a number of construction methods to build spatial structures such as erection method, Element method, Block method, Sliding method, Lift-up method and Push-up method. These methods are uneconomical and low accuracy, and require long construction duration because of a need of a scaffold or a tower crane to build spatial roof frame. In this study, the construction method to erect a truss structure was proposed as an economical and easy installation method. The proposed method has end hinges of keel truss and winches with horizontal cable. This method makes safe and accurate production and reduces construction duration because trusses are built on the floor or supporter. The goal of this study is to verify the validity of construction method by building scale model using the proposed method.

Marine algal flora and community structure were investigated seasonally at six sites in the vicinity of Mokpo harbor, on the west-southern coast of Korea from March to December 2004. In total, 88 species including 13 green algae, 20 brown algae, and 55 red algae were collected and identified. Among these species, 21 species were found throughout the year. Gelidium divaricatum and Caulacanthus ustulatus were distributed mostly in the upper intertidal zone. By contrast, Ulva pertusa and Sargassum thunbergii occurred predominantly in the middle intertidal zone. Sargassum fusiforme, S. thunbergii and Chondria crassicaulis were most common in the lower intertidal zone. The annual mean biomass in wet weight was 234.7 g m−2. The maximum biomass was recorded in spring (317.5 g m−2) and minimum was recorded in winter (156.9 g m−2). The R/P, C/P, and (R+C)/P values reflecting the flora characteristics were 2.75, 0.65 and 3.40, respectively. Two groups were produced by cluster analysis, one including group close to inland sites 1, 2, 6 and the other including group in offshore sites 3, 4, 5.

This project is mainly related to evaluation of total energy consumption of low energy house, the exterior envelope of which was wholly composed of structural insulated panels(SIP). The U-value of applied SIP was in the range of 0.189 to 0.269W/㎡․K and the U-value of pair glass from 0.78 to 1.298W/㎡․K was applied for window dependent to its function respectively. For comparison of total energy performance, the energy simulation for pilot house was performed to compare with the control house having insulation criteria of Korean building regulation in 2009. Based on simulation of dynamic energy performance, the pilot house saved 48.3% of annual energy consumption while the control house in 2009 consumed as 85.7GJ/y. In case of heating, the result showed that the energy saving ratio amounted to 76.7%. For CO₂ emission, the pilot house diminished approximately 35.4% from 6,208.4kgCO₂ to 4,009.2kgCO₂. In payback period to early investment, it was analyzed the pilot house took 7.8 years, when the low energy house built by other insulation method with same thermal perfusion took 11.5 years. From this result, it is considered that the SIP is more effective, economic to Green Home application.

For each cable component in a cable dome structure, pre-tension is needed for stability of whole the structure. The summation of these pre-tension at each joint should be zero to achieve the self equilibrium structure. The first step in cable dome structure analysis is to find the ratio of pre-tension in each member which can produce a stable and structure on self-equilibrium. In this paper, a new method based on the basic principle of closed force polygon for equilibrium system is proposed for the determination of self-equilibrium mode of cable dome structure. A single layer cable dome and two multi layer type domes have been analyzed. The ratios of cable members are determined by the presented method, and check the validation of the results by numerical calculation.

PURPOSES : This study is to investigate the relationship of socioeconomic characteristics and road network structure with traffic growth patterns. The findings is to be used to tweak traffic forecast provided by traditional four step process using relevant socioeconomic and road network data. METHODS: Comprehensive statistical analysis is used to identify key explanatory variables using historical observations on traffic forecast, actual traffic counts and surrounding environments. Based on statistical results, a multiple regression model is developed to predict the effects of socioeconomic and road network attributes on traffic growth patterns. The validation of the proposed model is also performed using a different set of historical data. RESULTS : The statistical analysis results indicate that several socioeconomic characteristics and road network structure cleary affect the tendency of over- and under-estimation of road traffics. Among them, land use is a key factor which is revealed by a factor that traffic forecast for urban road tends to be under-estimated while rural road traffic prediction is generally over-estimated. The model application suggests that tweaking the traffic forecast using the proposed model can reduce the discrepancies between the predicted and actual traffic counts from 30.4% to 21.9%. CONCLUSIONS : Prediction of road traffic growth patterns based on surrounding socioeconomic and road network attributes can help develop the optimal strategy of road construction plan by enhancing reliability of traffic forecast as well as tendency of traffic growth.

CONCLUSIONS: Simple method of vibration analysis for calculating the natural frequency of the different cross sections is presented. This method is a simple but exact method of calculating natural frequencies of the road structures with different cross sections. This method is extended to be applied to two dimensional problems including composite laminated road structures.

PURPOSES: Current theories for composite structures are too difficult for design engineers for construction. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate to the practicing engineers, how to apply the advanced composite materials theory to the road structures. METHODS: Some laminate orientations have decreasing values of D16, B16, D26 and B26 stiffnesses as the ply number increases. The plate aspect ratio considered is from 1 to 5. In order to study the effect of Mx on the equilibrium equations, two cases are considered. Mx term is considered or neglected. RESULTS: Most of the road structures have high aspect ratios, for such cases further simplification is possible by neglecting the effect of the longitudinal moment terms. CONCLUSIONS: Most of the road structures have plate aspect ratios higher than 2. It is concluded that, for all boundary conditions, neglecting the longitudinal moment(Mx) terms is acceptable if the aspect ratio (a/b) is equal to or higher than 2. This conclusion gives good guide line for design of the road structures.

알로에의 최소공정개발 연구의 일환으로 DIS(dewatering & impregnation soaking) 공정에 미치는 온도의 효과를 조사하였다. 삼투탈수는 분자량 4000의 PEG을 삼투제로 하여 이의 40%(w/v) 용액에 두께 0.5 cm의 알로에 잎 슬라이스를 넣고 간헐적으로 교반하면서 2시간 동안 수행하였다. 서로 다른 침지온도(25-55oC)가 DIS의 성능(수분소실 및 고형분 획득)에 미치는 영향을 현미경관찰에 의한 세포조직 구조의 경시변화를 모니터링하면서 조사, 비교되었고, 동역학적으로 분석하였다. 고온(55oC) 처리에서는 저온(25 and 35oC)에서보다 더 높은 수분소실을 보였으나 세포조직의 파괴를 동반하였다. 또, 품질지표값으로서의 glucomannan 함량은 세포조직구조를 잘 유지하였던 침지온도 35oC에서 얻어졌다. 얻어진 시료의 실온건조제품을 재수화시켜 조사하고 동역학적으로 해석한 결과, 재수화 동역학은 Peleg 및 Weibull 모델로 잘 설명할 수 있었다. DIS 제품은 DIS 처리하지 않은 제품에 비해 세포구조 및 재수화성질의 향상을 주어 적정온도하에서 DIS 처리함으로써 최소공정의 알로에 제품을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 제주도 동백동산 상록활엽수림의 식생구조 특성을 파악하기 위하여 20m×20m 조사구 20개를 설정하고 식생조사를 실시하였다. TWINSPAN과 DCA ordination, 평균상대우점치를 분석한 결과 종가시나무-구실잣밤나무-감탕나무(동백나무)군집, 종가시나무-구실잣밤나무-동백나무군집, 종가시나무-동백나무군집, 종가시나무-동백나무-곰솔군집, 곰솔-종가시나무군집 등 총 5개 군집으로 분류되었다. 동백동산 암괴기반에 분포하는 상록활엽수림 지역은 교목층에서 구실잣밤나무와 종가시나무가 우점하고 하층에 동백나무가 우점하는 식생구조이었고 일정 토심을 유지하는 지역은 교목층에서 곰솔이 우점하였다. 곰솔군집은 동백동산이 제주도기념물로 지정되기 이전 훼손된 지역 중 일부 토심이 유지되는 지역에 식재한 것으로 추정되었다. 동백동산은 구실잣밤나무와 종가시나무가 우점하는 식생과 곰솔이 우점하는 식생 모두 향후 종가시나무-동백나무 군집으로의 천이가 예상되었다. Shannon의 종다양도지수는 상록활엽수군집에서는 1.0268~1.0717이었고 곰솔군집이 1.2102로 가장 높았다. 상록활엽수 10종의 상재도가 80% 이상이었으나 향후 교목층을 형성할 수 있는 구실잣밤나무와 생달나무는 출현빈도와 우점도가 낮았다. 고령의 동백나무가 모든 조사구에서 출현했는데 과거 숲이 훼손될 시에도 신성시 여겨져 보호되어 왔기 때문으로 판단되었다. 동백동산은 기존의 제주도 상록활엽수림과는 다른 식생구조를 보여 천이방향을 예측하기 어려운 상태이었고 과거 훼손 영향으로 다른 상록활엽수림과 다른 식생구조와 천이경향을 일부 보이고 있었다. 따라서 동백동산은 지속적 관찰이 요구되며, 식생이 안정될 수 있는 기간이 흐른 뒤에 천이방향과 군집특성을 규명하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

In this research, the flow and forced convective heat transfer analysis of HEV battery pack were investigated numerically regarding the different shapes of the inlet, outlet, and battery case. The velocity ,pressure, and temperature distribution of the fluid at the inlet part of the battery module were numerically calculated for the optimum design of the battery pack for three different inlet shapes of the battery module. In addition, the local battery temperature for height and width and convective heat transfer coefficient of the air inside the battery pack were numerically obtained. Ultimately, the circle shape of the inlet and outlet were determined for the energy-effective shape of the battery pack.

면진장치는 상부구조물의 지진력을 감소시키는데 크게 기여하지만, 고감쇠고무 적층받침에 사용되는 고무재료는 시간이 경과함에 따라 열화되어 상부구조물의 동특성과 기기들의 지진응답에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 면진장치의 경년열화를 고려한 구조물의 지진응답을 분석하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 문헌을 통하여 분석된 고무의 경년열화 특성을 사용하여 면진장치를 모델링하였다. 면진된 원전의 지진응답을 평가하기 위하여 격납건물과 보조건물을 대상 구조물로 선정하고, 진동수 성분이 다양한 입력지진동을 사용하여 구조물의 고유진동수, 최대지진응답, 층응답스펙트럼을 시간의 경과에 따라 분석하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 면진장치의 경년열화에 의하여 지진응답이 소폭 증가하였으며, 면진장치가 설치된 후 20년까지 지진응답의 증가율이 크게 나타나므로 이 기간에 상세한 검사가 시행되어야 할 것이다.

본 논문에서는 주파수 선택적 투과막(FSS)이 결합된 복합재료 구조에서 구성 재료 간의 열팽창계수 차이로 잔류응력이 발생하므로 이로 인한 층간분리나 FSS의 손상 등 구조적인 파손 가능성과 잔류응력으로 인하여 변형된 FSS가 전파투과특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. FSS는 단위요소의 종류, 설계변수, 배열에 따라 전파특성이 다르게 나타나므로, PSO 알고리즘을 이용하여 다이폴이 목표주파수에서 투과특성을 갖도록 설계하고 그 설계치수를 다른 N-pole 종류 단위요소(Tripole, Cross dipole, Jerusalem cross)에 적용하여, 복합재료 구조에 발생하는 잔류응력과 그로인한 구조적 손상과 전파특성을 영향성을 관찰하고 FSS패턴과 복합재료의 적층 변화에 따라 비교하였다.

Structures in a nuclear power system are designed to be elastic even under an earthquake excitation. However a structural component such as an isolator shows inelastic behavior inherently. For the seismic assessment of nonlinear structures, response history analysis should be performed. In this study, the response of base isolation system was analyzed by response history analysis for the seismic performance assessment. Firstly, several seismic assessment criteria for a nuclear power plant structure were reviewed for the nonlinear response history analysis. Based on these criteria, the spectrum matched ground motion generation method modifying a seed earthquake ground motion time history was adjusted. Using these spectrum matched accelerograms, the distribution of displacement responses of the simplified base isolation system was evaluated. The resulting seismic responses excited by the modified ground motion time histories and the synthesized time history generated by stochastic approach were compared. And the response analysis of the base isolation system considering the different intensities in each orthogonal direction was performed.
