Load spectra growth modelling and extrapolation with REBMIX

Volk, Matej,Fajdiga, Matija,Nagode, Marko Techno-Press 2009 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.33 No.5

In the field of predicting structural safety and reliability the operating conditions play an essential role. Since the time and cost limitations are a significant factors in engineering it is important to predict the future operating conditions as close to the actual state as possible from small amount of available data. Because of the randomness of the environment the shape of measured load spectra can vary considerably and therefore simple distribution functions are frequently not sufficient for their modelling. Thus mixed distribution functions have to be used. In general their major weakness is the complicated calculation of unknown parameters. The scope of the paper is to investigate the load spectra growth for actual operating conditions and to investigate the modelling and extrapolation of load spectra with algorithm for mixed distribution estimation, REBMIX. The data obtained from the measurements of wheel forces and the braking moment on proving ground is used to generate load spectra.

Finding Appropriate Site for Public Art Center and Eco-Effective Design Potential Analysis among Abandoned Buildings in Khabarovsk City Applying GIS Methodology

Aleksandra Volk,Heewon Lee 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Vol.11 No.4

Using GIS principles this study attempts to review abandoned buildings situated in Khabarovsk city, analyze them and their surroundings in terms of present condition, accessibility and other criteria to select appropriate site for creating Public Art Center where citizens could develop their art skills and share them with others. Also in this study was collected simple geographical data that could be helpful in analyses of renewable resources potential as in different parts of Khabarovsk and in the whole city. During the study process were reviewed worldwide examples of abandoned buildings regeneration, methods of energy consumption reduction in newly built facilities, principles and objectives in creating public places and methods of analyzing data in GIS program. Also on the base of different kinds of city maps such as land use map, road map and geographical map were prepared attribute tables with various criteria and their characterizations, which are important for studied city spaces analyses. As a result was proposed model that could be created in GIS and was shown the whole process of specific site selection with implementation of various program tools. Furthermore was made model map that shows graphically all project steps and provides easier understanding of whole analyses process.

Characterization of the Water Soluble Organic Fraction Extracted from a Sewage Sludge Amended Soil

Lim, Hyungsik,Volk, V.V.,Baham, J. 한국토양비료학회 1985 한국토양비료학회지 Vol.18 No.1

Sewage sludge를 시용하지 않은 토양(W), 6년간 시용한 토양($WS_6$), Swedge sludge와 토양의 혼합물을 1 주일동안 incubation한 토양( $WS_1$), 그리고 Sewage sludge (SS)로부터 각각 수용성 유기물을 추출, 정제하고 원소분석, 작용기분석을 함과 동시에 IR, UV-VIS, NMR spectroscopy에 의하여 구조적 특성을 조사하였다. SS는 W보다 H, N, P 함량이 많아서 높은 H/C비와 낮은 C/N비로 특징지워 졌으며 total acidity, carboxyl group, phenolic hydroxyl group 함량의 경우 일반적으로 SS가 가장 높았고 그 다음이 $WS_6$, $WS_1$, 그리고 W가 가장 낮았다. Aromatic character나 aromatic carboxyl group 함량은 W가 가장 크고 SS가 가장 적었으며, Aliphatic proton, aliphatic carboxyl group 함량은 SS가 가장 많고 W가 가장 적었다. 단백질 분해산물은 SS에서 풍부했고 W에서는 검출되지 않았다. NMR spectra는 SS의 수소가 W보다 다양한 functional group에 결합되어 있다는 것을 보여 주었으며 aromatic proton의 구조적 주변환경도 SS가 가장 복잡하고 그 다음이 $WS_1$, $WS_6$, 그리고 W가 비교적 단순함을 보여 주었다. The water soluble organic fractions (WSOF) from an agricultural soil (W), a soil treated with sludge for 6 years ($WS_6$), a sludge-soil mixture incubated for one week ($WS_1$), and sewage sludge (SS) were extracted, purified, and characterized by elemental analysis, functional group determinations, infrared, UV-visible, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrosocpy. The SS was characterized by higher organic H, N, and P contents, a higher H/C ratio, and a lower C/N ratio than W. Total acidity carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl group contents were generally highest in SS, intermediate in $WS_6$ and $WS_1$, and lowest in W. Overall aromatic character and aromatic carboxyl group contents were highest in W, and lowest in SS. Aliphatic proton, aliphatic carboxyl, and phenolic hydroxyl group contents were highest in SS, and lowest in W. Protein decomposition products were the pronounced components in SS, and decreased in concentration as the sludge component in the mixtures decreased. The $^1H$-NMR spectra suggested that the SS-protons were bound to a wider range of functional groups than W-protons. Structural complexities around the aromatic protons followed the following order: SS>$WS_1$>$WS_6$>W.

Bidirectional Artificial Neural Networks for Mobile-Phone Fraud Detection

Andrej Krenker,Mojca Volk,Urban Sedlar,Janez Bešter,Andrej Kos 한국전자통신연구원 2009 ETRI Journal Vol.31 No.1

We propose a system for mobile-phone fraud detection based on a bidirectional artificial neural network (bi-ANN). The key advantage of such a system is the ability to detect fraud not only by offline processing of call detail records (CDR), but also in real time. The core of the system is a bi-ANN that predicts the behavior of individual mobile-phone users. We determined that the bi-ANN is capable of predicting complex time series (Call_Duration parameter) that are stored in the CDR.

Copper(II) Binding Mechanisms with Water Soluble Organic Fractions Extracted from Sewage Sludge Amended Soils

Lim, Hyung-Sik,Volk, V.V.,Baham, John 한국토양비료학회 1986 한국토양비료학회지 Vol.19 No.4

Cu(II) binding mechanisms with water soluble organic fractions (WSOF) extracted from an agricultural soil (W), a soil treated with sludge for 6 years ($WS_6$), a sludge-soil mixture incubated for one week ($WS_1$), and sewage sludge (SS) were studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and potentiometric titrations. Cu(II)-WSOF complexes produced $g_{11}$ values which were larger than $g_{\perp}$ values, indicating that the coordination of Cu(II) complex was an elongated octahedron. At liquid $N_2$ temperature (77K), the Cu(II)-W complex showed an anisotropic ESR spectrum while the Cu(II)-SS complex showed an isotropic spectrum. These spectral results suggest that the oxygen donor ligands of W may form relatively strong bonds with $Cu^{2+}$ due to extensive chelation while ligands of SS may form little or no chelate bonds with $Cu^{2+}$. The ESR spectra of Cu(II)-SS complex also suggest that each of four in-plane ligands (e.g., $COO^-$, $H_2O$, $Cl^-$, etc.) may act independently as monodentate ligands. Oxygen donor ligands such as aromatic carboxyl groups were probably the major Cu(II) binding sites in W. Sulfonate, aliphatic carboxyl group, and N-containing ligands were probably the major binding sites in SS at pH 5. The Cu(II) complexation with N-containing groups increased as sludge was added to the soil. Much higher (6x) pyridine concentrations were required to displace W from Cu(II)-W complex as compared to the Cu(II)-SS complex. Sewage Sludge 를 시용하지 않은 토양(W), 6년간 시용한 토양($WS_6$), Sludge와 토양의 혼합물을 1주일동안 incubation한 토양($WS_1$), 그리고 Sewage Sludge(SS)로 부터 추출한 수용성 유기물(WSOF)이 구리(II) 이온과 어떻게 착화합물을 형성하는지를 전자스핀공명분광법(ESR)과 전위차적정법을 이용하여 규명하였다. Cu(II)-WSOF 착화합물은 ESR spectra 상에서 $g_{\perp}$ 값보다 큰 $g_{\amalg}$ 값을 가짐으로서 늘어난 팔면체(elongated octahedron) 배위결합을 하고 있음을 나타내었다. $77^{\circ}K$에서 Cu(II)-SS착물은 anisotropic ESR spectrum을 보인 반면 Cu(II)-W착물은 anisotropic spectrum을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 결국 W의 산소공여 리간드가 Cu(II)와 강한 착화합물을 이루는 반면에 SS의 리간드는 Cu(II)와 거의 Chelate를 이루지 않고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 Cu(II)-SS 착화합물의 ESR spectra는 평면상의 네개의 모서리 리간드(예, $COO^-$, $H_2O$, $Cl^-$ 등등)의 각각이 한자리 리간드로서 독립적으로 행동하고 있음을 암시한다. W에서는 방향족 카복실기 같은 산소공여 리간드가 주로 Cu(II)와 결합하고 있는것 같고 SS에서는 Sulfonate, 지방족 카복실기 그리고 질소를 함유하는 리간드가 주요한 결합 site인 것 같다. Cu(II)-SS착화합물과 비교할때 Cu(II)-W로 부터 Cu(II)를 치환하는데 6배정도의 Pyridine 농도가 요구되었다.
