In this paper, a subblock partition scheme for reduction of computational complexity in partial transmit sequence which reduces the peak-to-average power ratio in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is proposed. In this scheme, complex signals are assigned into partial subbands randomly and signals in a partial subband are duplicated and concatenated repetitively to make a subblock. By modulation of active subbands which have almost interleaved pattern, computational complexity can be reduced. As results of computer simulation, the proposed shows almost same peak to average power ratio reduction performance as compared to the conventional one. However, computational complexity required to transmit a partial transmit sequence OFDM symbol has been reduced extensively.

We introduce an adaptive finite state vector quantization using a new side match distortion function. The conventional side match distortion function can make the gray level transition between the block bounddaries as smooth as possible and proper state codebooks in the flat areas where the spatial correlations are high. But it can't make proper codebooks in the edge areas where the spatial correlations are not high. The proposed distortion function adds the variances which represent the image characteristics to the conventional side match distortion function as weighted values. Then it can select better state codebooks than the conventional side match distortion function. Also if it predicts a wrong state, the proposed quantizer can correct the state. As a result, we can obtain the satisfiable image quality.

This paper presents the experimental results on flooding of countercurrent flow in vertical multirod channels, which consists of falling water film and upward air flow. In particular, the effects of spacer grids, with and without mixing vane, and of blockage in the multirod bundle on the behaviour of flooding were investigated. The 5$\times$5 zircaloy tube bundle was used for the test section. The comparison of previous analytical models and empirical correlations with present data on flooding showed that the existing models and correlations predict much higher flooding curves. The spacer grid causes the lower flooding air flow rate to compare with the bare rod bundle. However, the mixing spacer grids need a higher flooding air flow rate for a constant liquid flow rate than the spacer grids without mixing vanes. The bundle containing blockages has the highest flooding air flow rate among the bundles with spacer grids and blockages. Empirical flooding correlations for the three types of test section have been made.

In this paper, the performances of bandwidth allocation strategies for wideband ISDN have been studied through the computer simulation. In general, the performance of multichannel bandwidth allocation method is superior to that of single channel bandwidth allocation method with respect to the throughtput, delay and blocking probability. Also, when the FIFO service scheme is used, it is shown that the throughput, delay characteristics and blocking probability for each traffic are almost similar. On the other hand, the priority service scheme being used, the performances of traffic with high priority are much better than that of traffic with low priority in the view of throughput, delay and blocking probability. Finally, for the FIFO and priority service disciplines, it can be seen that the multichannel bandwidth allocation method is more suitable than the single channel bandwidth allocation strategy in the case of serving various traffic.

In this paper, the conditions on the number of required copies of a self-routing network with and without extra stages in back-to-back manner are presented respectively for a nonblocking $Multi-Log_2N$ multiconnection network. Actually the obained results hold regardless of connection patterns, i.e., whether a network deploys on-to-one connections or multiconnections. Thus open problems on the nonblocking condition for a multi $Multi-Log_2N$ multiconnection network are solved. Interestingly some of the given formulas comprise the Benes network and the Canto network as a special case repectively. A novel switching system architecture deploying a distributed calls-distribution algorithm is provided to design a nonblocking $Multi-Log_2N$ photonic switching network using a directional coupler. And a directional couplex based call holding demultiplexer is introduced to hold a call until blocking disappears in a switching network and let it enter to a network, provided that the number of switching networks is less than that of required switching networks for a nonblocking $Multi-Log_2N$ network.

It is necessary to develop an integration model which can account for various data acquired at different measurement scales in environmental thematic mapping with high-resolution ground survey data and relatively low-resolution remote sensing data. This paper presents and applies a multi-scale geostatistical methodology for downscaling of thematic maps generated from lowresolution remote sensing data. This methodology extends a traditional ordinary kriging system to a block kriging system which can account for both ground data and remote sensing data which can be regarded as point and block data, respectively. In addition, stochastic simulation based on block kriging is also applied to describe spatial uncertainty attached to the downscaling. Two downscaling experiments including SRTM DEM and MODIS Leaf Area Index (LAI) products were carried out to illustrate the applicability of the geostatistical methodology. Through the experiments, multi-scale geostatistics based on block kriging successfully generated relatively high-resolution thematic maps with reliable accuracy. Especially, it is expected that multiple realizations generated from simulation would be effectively used as input data for investigating the effects of uncertain input data on GIS model outputs.

본 연구에서는 두 지역의 실제 상수관망에 대해서 부정류해석을 수행하였고 각각의 상수관망에 필요한 부정류피해 최소화방안을 제시하였다. 첫 번째 대상지역은 베트남 호치민으로 148개 절점과 162개의 파이프로 이루어진 소블럭 상수관망이며 두 번째 대상지역은 파주시 광탄면으로 512개 절점과 527개의 파이프로 이루어진 세 개의 소블럭 상수관망이다. 두지역의 상수관망은 지형적면이나 규모면에서 다른 모습을 하고 있기 때문에 부정류해석 시 발생가능한 피해유형이 틀린 것으로 나타났다. 호치민의 경우 배수지의 높이가 낮고 도시 내 표고차가 없어서 관망 내 평균수압이 $1kg/cm^2$을 약간 상회하는 수준으로 수압이 낮고 수압차 역시 작다. 따라서 상수관망에서 일어날 수 있는 소요수량의 변화나 소화전 사용과 같은 작은 변화에도 역류발생이 빈번히 일어나는 것으로 나타났으며 역류발생이 잦은 파이프를 선정할 수 있었다. 상당히 많은 파이프에서 단기간 역류가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 짧은 기간에 발생하는 변화에 대한 단기간 역류는 교차연결(Cross-Connection)의 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 역류발생이 빈번히 일어나는 파이프 주위에 check valve나 역지밸브등의 설치를 통해 역류로 인한 피해를 최소화할 수 있다. 파주시 광탄면 지역의 소블럭 집합으로써 고저차가 많은 지역이다. 배수지 밸브개폐 시 발생 가능한 수충격에 대한 시뮬레이션과 펌프장정지로 인해 발생할 수 있는 수충격에 발생 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고 관망내에서 자주 발생하는 밸브개폐로 인한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과 광탄의 경우 수충격 발생위험 지점은 배수지 근처로 나타났고 수격압이 최대 $2.5kg/cm^2$에서 $3.0kg/cm^2$까지 발생 가능한 것으로 나타났고 밸브개폐시간이 1-2초 지연되어도 상당히 큰 수격압을 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 수충격압이 크게 발생할 수 있는 지역에 수충격피해 최소화를 위해 surge tank와 같은 장치를 설치해야 한다. 또한 발생가능한 수격압의 크기를 통계적기법을 통해 확률밀도함수로 나타낼 수 있었다. 이 결과는 앞으로 상수관망의 설계나 운영에서 수충격피해 방지 장치 및 설비를 시공할 때 장치의 규모나 용량을 결정할 때 유용한 정보가 될 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we propose an on-line mechanism that simultaneously detects cracks and profiling pavement blocks to detect the displacement of ground surface adjacent to the excavation in the urban area. The proposed method utilizes a 2D laser to profile the information about pavement blocks including the depth and distance among them. In particular, it is designed to enable the detection of cracks and portholes at runtime. For the experiment, real data was collected through Gocator, and trainng was carried out using Faster R-CNN. The performance evaluation shows that our detection precision and recall are more than 90% and the pavement blocks are profiled at the same time. Our proposed mechanism can be used for monitoring management to quantitatively detect the level of excavation risk before a large-scale ground collapse occurs.

This study involves the development of a Hwangto permeable block for rainwater storage tanks. The permeable products that form continuous voids between Hwangto binders and aggregates are fine milled slag powder, which is an industrial by-product generated during the production of Hwangto and iron, and ferro nickel slag. The properties of Hwangto permeable blocks were studied using recycled resource aggregates. The target quality is based on KSF 2394. The Hwangto permeable block for a rainwater storage tank is made of water-permeable material, and the permeability of the Hwangto permeable block itself is 0.1mm/sec or higher, with a physical performance of over 5.0MPa in flexural strength and over 20.0MPa in compressive strength. The physical properties of Hwangto permeable block for rainwater storage tanks were researched and developed. In order to prevent flooding due to heavy rain in summer and the urban heat island phenomenon due to depletion of ground water, continuous pores are formed in the block to secure a permeability function to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the pavement of the floor, and to prevent slippage for comfortable and safe storage.

This study describes compressive characteristics of marine clay at southwestern coast in Korea by large block and piston samples. Through the analysis of disturbance effect and various consolidation test, consolidation result shows that volumetric strain from large block samples is lower than piston samples and compression index of large block samples is larger than piston samples value. We suggest new empirical equation of compression index by the effect of compression index following sampling method. If consolidation settlement is presumed using empirical equation of compression index, the resort will be more reasonable in predicting settlement than that obtained by the decision of compressibility characteristics from piston samples.
