The UCERSS (Unit Circle Eigendecomposition Rational Signal Subspace) algorithm has extended MUSIC (MUltiple Signal Classification ) by using eigendecomposition on the unit circle in order to estimate incident angles of multiple wide band signals. The purpose of this thesis is to further extend the UCERSS to be able to estimate the direction of arrivals of multiple wide band signals in very low SNR . The wide band ESPRIT (Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Technique) uses covariance difference matrices to reduce noise components. In this paper the wide band ESPRIT which combines the ideas of UCERSS and ESPRIT Is proposed. Computer simulation results Indicate that the performances of the proposed approaches are superior to those of the UCERSS in very low SNR.

Particularly based on the signal bias removal(SBR) algorithm for compensating the corrupted speech, this paper presents a new algorithm which is independent of environments, minimizes the amount of computation, and is readily applicable to the conventional recognition system. To this end, a multiple-bias algorithm and a partial codebook search algorithm have been added to the conventional SBR algorithm. The simulation results show that combining the two algorithms proposed in this paper provides a reduction of computation time to 1/8 times as well as an improvement of the recognition rate from 77.58% of the conventional system to 81.32%.

This research was conducted to compare the rhythm reproduction abilities between older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and analyze the abilities depending on the rhythm idiom. Participants between 60-85 years of age were recruited from senior community centers, dementia prevention centers, and senior welfare centers. A total of 57 participants were included in this study: 27 diagnosed with MCI and 30 healthy older adults (HOA). The experiment was conducted individually in a private room in which a participant was given random binary time rhythm idioms and instructed to reproduce the rhythmic idioms with finger tapping. Each participant's beat production was recorded with the Beat Processing Device (BPD) for iPad. BPD calculated rhythm reproduction as measured through rhythm ratio and error among beats. Results showed marginal differences between the two groups in terms of mean scores of rhythm reproduction abilities. In terms of the rhythm ratio among beats, both groups' highest rhythm reproduction rate was for <♩ ♩>, and their lowest reproduction rate was for <♩. ♪>. In conclusion, there was no significant difference in rhythm reproduction ability between the HOA and MCI groups. However, the study found an interesting result related to performance level of rhythmic idioms. This result provides therapeutic insight for formulating rhythm tasks for older adults.

Classification result by comprehensive analysis of rhythm section and heartbeat unit makes a reliable diagnosis of heart disease possible. In this paper, based on feature-points of ECG signals, rhythm analysis for constant section and heartbeat unit is conducted using rule-based classification and SVM-based classification respectively. Rhythm types are classified using a rule base deduced from clinical materials for features of rhythm section in rule-based classification, and monotonic rhythm or major abnormality heartbeats are classified using multiple SVMs trained previously for features of heartbeat unit in SVM-based classification. Experimental results for the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show classification ratios of 68.52% by rule-based method alone and 87.04% by fusion method of rule-based and SVM-based for 11 rhythm types. The proposed fusion method is improved by about 19% through misclassification improvement for monotonic and arrangement rhythms by SVM-based method.

In many respects, the current music education contents are learned, based on results and also, education of rhythm, which is an important component of music, is mostly implemented using scores that are based on existing results. In this study, two rhythm education contents were extracted using the number of cases in mathematics, which is a principle of the process of creating a rhythm. First, 16 rhythm education contents were extracted by calculating the number of cases to include a note and a rest in a beat except triplet Rhythm. Second, two-beat 225 rhythm education contents were extracted by calculating the number of cases to connect this one-beat contents. Rhythm education was applied to music majors in their early twenties using these two rhythm education contents and the effect was proven by the rhythmic ability test. As stated above, this study suggests advanced education contents using existing principles, which appear by going back to the basics of rhythm.

본 논문에서는 변형된 Teager 에너지를 이용하여 음성의 끝점을 검출하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 기존의 방법에서는 대부분 음성신호의 에너지와 영교차율을 이용하거나 이 파라미터들과 함께 다른 여러 파라미터들을 사용하여 끝점을 검출하였다. 여러 파라미터들을 사용하는 알고리듬의 경우 계산량이 많아지게 되는데, 이에 비해 본 논문에서는 하나의 파라미터를 이용하기 때문에 계산량이 기존의 알고리듬보다 적다. 그리고 이 알고리듬에서 사용한 변형된 Teager 에너지는 음성신호의 진폭뿐만 아니라 주파수까지 고려한 파라미터이다. 일반적으로 마찰음은 진폭이 작아 검출하기가 어려운데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 마찰음에 대해 실험을 했고, 그 결과를 통해 제안한 알고리듬이 기존의 다른 여러 알고리듬보다 성능이 우수하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purposes of this study were to demonstrate whether a Physical Rhythm Education Program can alter children's rhythm perception and rhythm expression. To solve the questions posed by this study, 60 5-year-olds and 60 6-year-olds (a total of 120 children) from one child-care center in Kyunggi-province were selected. An experimental group participated in the Physical Rhythm Program which was carried out 10 times over the course of 4 weeks. The results indicated that the Physical Rhythm Program positively improved the children's rhythm perception and rhythm expression. In particular, the Physical Rhythm Program was more effective in producing effects upon six-year-olds' rhythm perception and rhythm expression (verbal, instrumental and physical expression) than five-year-olds' rhythm expression (instrumental and physical expression).

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for reducing the complexity of LDPC code decoding by using node monitoring (NM) and Piecewise Linear Function Approximation (NP). This NM algorithm is based on a new node-threshold method, and the message passing algorithm. Piecewise linear function approximation is used to reduce the complexity for more. This algorithm was simulated in order to verify its efficiency. Simulation results show that the complexity of our NM algorithm is reduced to about 20%, compared with thoes of well-known method.

본 논문은 음향반향제거기에서 동시통화구간을 검출하고 처리하는 알고리듬에 대하 여 논하고 있다. 새로운 동시통화처리 알고리듬은 송신신호와 잔류신호간의 상호상관계수를 이용하여 동시통화 여부 및 구간을 검출하고 이 구간에서는 반향제거기의 계수적응을 중지 하도록 하는 것이다. 본 알고리듬을 사용함으로서 동시통화구간의 검출에 소요되는 계산량 이 대폭 감소할 뿐만 아니라 비정상상태의 원인이 동시통화에 의한 것인지 아니면 반향경로 응답의 변화에 의한 것인지를 구별할 수가 있다. 음향반향제거기에 제안한 알고리듬을 적용 하여 모의실험을 수행하므로서 본 알고리듬의 성능을 분석하였고 기존의 알고리듬을 적용한 경우와 비교, 검토하였다. 실험 결과 본 알고리듬을 적용한 음향반향제거기는 동시통화구간 을 완벽하게 검출하므로서 동시통화 후에도 계수가 발산하지않고 안정적으로 정상상태를 유 지함을 확인하였다.
