Using an exchange standard, we can design an open architecture for the interchange of decision models and data. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) provides a general framework for creating such a standard. Although XML-based model representation languages such as OOSML were proposed, they are partly limited in expression capability, flexibility, generality, etc. This paper proposes a new method for expressing and sharing decision models and data based on XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), which is a XML language specialized in business reporting. We have developed a XBRL taxonomy for decision models with the concepts and relationships of a representative modeling framework, SM (Structured Modeling). The method allows for expressing data as well as decision models in a consistent and flexible manner. Diverse dependencies between components of SM models can also be affluently expressed.

Purpose: Bullying behaviors experienced during nursing education negatively affect students, educators, quality of training, and patient care. The purpose of this study was to develop a valid, reliable, short, and comprehensive scale to measure the bullying behaviors of nursing students in the education environment. Methods: The Bullying Behaviors in Nursing Education (BBNE) tool was developed by adapting the Workplace Psychological Violence Behaviors scale. The data were collected from 442 nursing students from April to May 2017. The BBNE was tested using structural equation modeling, and validity and reliability results were obtained. Moreover, complementary statistics were determined, and the violence behaviors experienced by nursing students were reported. Results: The full BBNE scale, with 30 items and four factors, was not verified (x2/df = 4.31); 12 items were excluded, and the modified structure with 18 items and four factors was verified (x2/df = 2.60; root-mean-square error of approximation = .06). The scale's Cronbach's a coefficient is .88, and the structure reliability is .92. Twenty-five percent of the 442 students scored 1 or higher in the total scale, showing that they were subject to bullying behaviors. Conclusion: The BBNE scale can be used to measure the bullying behaviors of nursing students in the education environment. When such behaviors are identified, students can struggle on the personal and organization level. Providing a safer and comfortable education environment for nursing students who are the guarantee of the future of health care will positively affect the quality of education and patient care in parallel.

Current therapies against ulcers caused by H. pylori infection consist of antibiotics, an acid reducer, and some clinical trials underway to develop a H. pylori vaccine. We develop a structured model with age-dependent mortality of peptic ulcers and H. pylori infection. Our main goal is to analyze our structured model mathematically and to compare it to our previously unstructured model to examine the disease transmission dynamics in terms of annual prevalence and annual incidence of the disease.

최근의 기업들은 B2B전자상거래 개념하에 상품과서비스를 전자적으로 거래하기 위하여 자신의 기업 영역을 넘어서는 프로세스를 수행하고 있다. 이러한 환경에서, 조직간의 비즈니스 프로세스는 필요하며 파트너간의 공개 프로세스 뿐만 아니라 기업 내의 자체 프로세스도 잘 정의되어야 한다. 이러한 목적을 위해 이 논문은 조직간 비즈니스 프로세스를 나타내는 방법을 제시한다. 우선, B2B 전자상거래를 위한 조직간 워크플로우를 위한 모델링 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 1:1 및 1:N 협업시 공통 프로세스를 공유할 수 있도록 ebXML의 BPSS를 기반으로 제시되었다. 여기서 조직간 워크플로우의 설계 절차를 편리하게 하기 위해 메시지 플로우와 통제 플로우를 분리하였다. 둘째, 구조화된(well-structured) 조직간 워크플로우 프로세스를 설계하기 위하여 구조화된 프로세스 모델링 알고리즘이 제시된다. 이 알고리즘에서는 프로세스가 페트리넷 기반의 프로세스로 변환된다. 이 알고리즘은 하향식 방식으로 구조화된 프로세스 모델을 설계할 수 있도록 기능화된 (well-behaved) 모델링 블록, 기능화된 제어 구조, 비즈니스 트랜젝션을 이용한다.

Today's enterprises take processes beyond their own organizational boundaries in order to electronically trade goods and services with partners under the concept of B2B e-commerce. In this environment, inter-organizational business processes are required and should be well defined not only in public processes between partners but in private processes within individual partners. For this purpose, we propose the method to represent inter-organizational business processes. First of all, a feasible modeling method for the inter-organizational workflow for B2B e-commerce is developed. This method is proposed based on BPSS in ebXML so that the binary and multiparty collaborations share a common process. In this method, message flows and control flows are separated in order to facilitate the design procedure of the inter-organizational workflow process. Second, a well-structured process modeling algorithm to design a well-structured inter-organizational workflow process is proposed. In the algorithm, a process is transformed to a Petri-net-based process model. This algorithm employs well-behaved modeling blocks, well-behaved control structures, and business transactions to develop well-structured process models by a top-down design.

In this paper, we investigate the power integrity of grid structures for power and ground distribution on printed circuit board (PCB). We propose the 2D transmission line method (TLM)-based model for efficient frequency-dependent impedance characterization and PCB-package-integrated circuit (IC) co-simulation. The model includes an equivalent circuit model of fringing capacitance and probing ports. The accuracy of the proposed grid model is verified with test structure measurements and 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulations. If the grid structures replace the plane structures in PCBs, they should provide effective shielding of the electromagnetic interference in mobile systems. An analytical model to predict the shielding effectiveness (SE) of the grid structures is proposed and verified with EM simulations.

Even though most die-maker are using CAD/CAM systems rout NC tool-path generation, “front-end”CAD/CAM technologies have not been fully adapted to sculptured surface machining(SSM) nor are sufficiently utilized in die shops. This gap between die-making industry and CAD/CAM community persists mainly because of the lack of a SSM-process model through which the two groups communicate with each other. Proposed in this paper is a model of SSM-processes which is built around the concepts of machining stages, unit machining operations, and each machining stage is decomposed into a sequence of unit machining operations(UMOs). Identified in the paper are five machining stages and 17 types of UMO. Based on the framework of the proposed model, an example of inner-panel stamping-die machining processes is described in detail.

The SMIL(Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) documents are represented as logical structure information, spatial layout structure information, temporal synchronization structure information and hyperlink structure information, according as the structural characteristics of SMIL documents based on XML. This paper proposes the effective modeling and query method for the multi -structure information of inherent SMIL documents. In particular, we present the object-oriented modeling by using UML class diagram in order to represent the objects classes for the structured information of SMIL documents, and the hierarchical structure and the relationships for the objects classes. In addition, the objects classes definition is specified in compliance with SQL3 for database standard language. We also propose the access method and the query representation for hierarchical structure in order to retrieve efficiently the structural objects of SMIL documents.

정보통신기술의 발달로 실감미디어를 활용한 간접 체험 콘텐츠의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 실감미디어는 만들 때 모델들의 전체적인 느낌이 일정하게 유지되어야 콘텐츠를 즐길 때 몰입감을 유지하게 해 준다. 관광지에 대한 간접 체험을 제공하는 실감미디어의 경우 관광지의 실제 정보를 반영한 모델링이 되어야 정확한 체험을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 남해안의 대표적인 관광자원인 섬을 실제 데이터를 반영하여 3차원으로 모델링하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 구조화된 절차에 따라 모델링을 하기 때문에 여러 사람이 공동으로 작업하여 콘텐츠를 제작하여도 쉽게 전체 모델의 일관성을 유지하게 해 준다. 우도 섬의 정보를 이용한 모델링 결과를 보면 제안하는 방법이 단순히 높이 정보를 이용한 모델링 방법 보다 사실적인 결과를 만드는 것을 보여준다.

With the development of information and communication technology, the demand for indirect experience contents using realistic media is increasing. It is important to keep the overall concept of the models consistently in order to immerse in the contents while watching realistic media. In the case of realistic media that provides an indirect experience of tourist attractions, modeling should be done by reflecting the actual information of the sites in order to provide an accurate experience. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional modeling method of islands, representative tourism resources of the southern coast, by reflecting actual data. Since the proposed method is performed according to a structured procedure, it makes it easy to maintain the visual consistency of the entire model when several people work together. Implementation results show that the proposed method produces more realistic results than the modeling method using height information simply.

지금까지 가상현실을 이용한 여러 가지 시스템들이 제안되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 시스템들은 사용자에게 몰입감을 줄 수 있는 예측하기 힘든 다양한 상황을 제공하기보다는 미리 정해진 시나리오를 따라 고정된 형태의 흐름을 가지는 문제점이 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해가상세계 내에서의 오브젝트의 행동이나 이벤트의 전개를 위한 여러 가지 방법들이 제안되어왔다. 하지만 이 방법들 역시 방대한 탐색 공간이나 한정된 범위내에서만 자율적인 움직임이 가능한 점 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 Causality에 기반한 이벤트의 전개모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 먼저 frame구조를 이용하여 정형화한 Structured Causal Graph를 제안하고, 구성되어진 Structured Causal Graph를 이용하여 이벤트를 전개해나가는 방법을 제시한다.

전남 주암호에서의 식물플랑크톤 동태를 파악하기 위해 2003년 2월부터 10월까지 식물플랑크톤 생물량 (클로로필 a)의 크기별 시 ${\cdot}$ 공간적 변동과 제반 환경요인에 대해 조사하였다. 본 논문에서는 주암호와 같은 담수호에서 식물플랑크톤의 크기 구조가 계절적, 공간적으로 나타나는 변동에 대한 영양염들의 영향을 회귀분석을 통해 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 인공지능망을 이용하여 전체 식물플랑크톤의 생물량(클로로필 a)에 대한 상향식, 하향식 조절인자들에 대한 상대적인 중요도를 정량적으로 파악하고자 하였다. 비록 동물플랑크톤 포식압을 나타내는 포식율이나 동물플랑크톤 생체량 대신 포식압의 간접 지수인 chlorophyll a: pheopigments ratio를 활용하였지만 회귀분석결과, 영양염 특히 인산염과 식물플랑크톤의 생물량이 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났고chlorophyll a: pheopigments ratio도 결정계수가 다소 낮기는 하지만 양의 상관관계를 보여 주었다. 인공지능망 시뮬레이션 결과에서는 주암호 식물플랑크톤의 생물량은 수온, 영양염 특히 인산염과 같은 상향식 조절이 우세한 것으로 나타났다.

Relative importance between bottom-up and top-down controls on phytoplankton dynamics was investigated in the Juam Reservoir, Chonnam based on the results from statistical analyses including regression and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling. Effects of nutrients on size-structured phytoplankton dynamics were explored by simple linear regression analysis and relative importance between bottom-up and top-down controls was estimated based on results from the artificial neural network analyses. Although there is a limitation in determining direct grazing effects since chlorophyll a : pheopigments ratios, indirect index for grazing activity rather than grazing rates or herbivores biomass were used, the results from regression analysis showed that nutrients especially orthophosphates were positively correlated with the phytoplankton biomass and chlorophyll a : pheopigments ratios were also positively correlated with the phytoplankton biomass at lower coefficient of determination ($r^2$) compared to orthophosphates. The simulation results from ANN suggested that the bottom-up mechanisms including water temperature and availability of nutrients, especially orthophosphates were more important than top-down mechanisms such as grazing in the phytoplankton dynamics.
