In this paper, we propose a timing synchronization scheme and its hardware architecture of the next generation IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard which is based on MIMO-OFDM technique. Proposed timing synchronization method takes two steps which consist of two modified auto-correlators. For coarse timing synchronization, a sliding window differentiator is used after a conventional auto-correlation in order to avoid plateau problem. The conjugate symmetry property of L-LTS is utilized for the simplification of fine timing synchronization. Since cross-correlation based methods are not required, the computational complexity and the number of multipliers can be reduced. In order to reduce the hardware complexity, we have used sign multipliers. Based on simulation results, the proposed method outperforms a conventional method. The proposed scheme can be applied to IEEE 802.11n systems and can easily be expanded to frequency synchronization scheme.

In general, the response spectrum analysis(RSA) method is wifely used for seismic analysis of building structures, and the time history analysis(THA) is applied for computation of structural vibration caused by equipments, machines and moving loads, etc. However, compared with the RSA method, the THA method is very complex, difficult and time consuming. In this study, the maximum responses for the vertical vibration are calculated conveniently by the RSA method. At first, the process for the RSA in excitation is proposed, and the maximum modal responses are combined by CQC and SRSS methods. Also, the responses obtained by the two modal combination methods are compared to the responses by the THA. And the correlation coefficients for human activities is proposed, and the RSA responses obtained by used to the correlation coefficients are calculated. Finally, results of the proposed method are compared with those of the time history analysis and correlation coefficients should be considered for the RSA of floor structure subjected to group dynamic loads.

Effects of addition of various additives, sucrose fatty acid ester 1170 (SE), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and soy bean oil (SO) on textural characteristics for untreated and defatted corn and mung bean starch gels stored at room temperature for 24 hrs and 72 hrs were studied. In sensory and instrumental characteristics of starch gels with additives (0.5% for starch basis), the acceptability was highly correlated with cohesiveness and bend property of starch gels stored 24 hrs and springiness, cohesiveness, color, smoothness, bend property, hardness and clarity of starch gels stored 72 hrs. Regardless of adding additives, textural characteristics of defatted corn starch gels showed somewhat higher values than that of com starch gels. The acceptability of starch gels with additives was somewhat lowered in all the cases, which showed highly correlated in cohesiveness for 24 hrs and springiness for 72 hrs. Instrumental characteristics were similar to those of sensory evaluation, which showed no significant difference with additives.

RCP(Representative concentrate pathways) 기후변화 시나리오에서는 2100년까지 연강 강수량과 강우지속시간이 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예측하고 있다. 이에 도시지역의 하천 범람 및 내수 침수 예방을 위해 방재성늑목표의 상향조정과 방재 인프라의 설계년수 재조정 등에 대한 논의가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 수재해 예방을 위한 강우설계기준에서는 무강우 지속시간의 설정을 확보할 수 있는 최대 규모의 모집단을 통해 산정하는 방식으로 제시되고 있어 최근 기후변화로 인한 강우특성의 변화가 반영되기에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 부산광역시 강우자료의 모집단을 10년, 20년, 30년으로 구분하여 자기상관계수(Autocorrelation coefficient, AC) 분석, 변동계수(Coefficient of variation, CV) 분석, 연평균 강우사상 발생 개수(Average annual number of rainfall event, NRE) 분석 방법을 적용하여 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 자기상관계수 분석 방법과 변동계수 분석 방법에서는 모집단의 규모가 클수록 튀는 자료를 상쇄하여 안정적인 결과를 나타내는 반면, 연평균 강우사상 발생 개수를 확인 하였을 때는 대상기간에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 모집단의 규모가 클수록 무강우 지속시간이 길어지는 것으로 분석되어 기후변화로 인한 최근의 강우특성을 반영하기 위해서는 모집단의 규모를 크게 잡는 것이 효과적이지 않을 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 이는 강우자료 분석 시 분석방법 및 모집단의 규모를 달리하여 무강우 지속시간을 산정해보고, 설계 목적에 따라 적정한 의사결정이 필요함을 시사한다.

This study introduces an enhanced sound source localization technique, bolstered by a data-driven deep learning approach, to improve the precision and accuracy of direction of arrival estimation. Focused on refining Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) based sound source localization, the research hinges on accurately estimating TDOA from cross-correlation functions. Accurately estimating the TDOA still remains a limitation in this research field because the measured value from actual microphones are mixed with a lot of noise. Additionally, the digitization process of acoustic signals introduces quantization errors, associated with the sampling frequency of the measurement system, that limit the precision of TDOA estimation. A deep learning-based approach is designed to overcome these limitations in TDOA accuracy and precision. To validate the method, we conduct comprehensive evaluations using both two and three-microphone array configurations. Moreover, the feasibility and real-world applicability of the suggested method are further substantiated through experiments conducted in an anechoic chamber.

Although 24-hour recalls (24HR) capture detailed information on a person's food intake, this method suffers from difficulties in adequately measuring the usual intake of foods that are not consumed daily by most. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether frequency of Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) can be utilized in form of covariate when calculating usual intake of episodically-consumed foods and their distributions. Data used in this study was from the Korean National Healthy and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2012~2014 (3 years) and 10,945 subjects participated in this survey who performed both of 24HR and FFQ. In order to analyze the data, amount of intake in each food, which was reported in 24HR was recalculated according to 112 items in FFQ. We first assessed the relationship between FFQ frequency and the amount reported on 24HR. Second, we assessed the relationship between usual portion size of FFQ and the amount reported on 24HR. Our hypothesis was that people who reported high FFQ-reported frequency or FFQ-reported usual portion size would consume larger amounts of that food on 24HR than those with lower frequency or portion size of consumption of a food on the FFQ. For 59 of 112 individual foods (52.2%), there were statistically significant increasing relationships between FFQ frequency and consumption-day intake. Also, 102 of 112 individual foods (90.3%), there were statistically significant increasing relationships between FFQ usual portion size and consumption-day intake. For 10 of 13 food groups (grains, fruits, eggs, pulses, root and tuber crops, milk products, meat, beverage, alcoholic drink, vegetable, seaweeds and others), there were statistically significant increasing relationships between FFQ frequency and consumption-day intake. And there were statistically significant increasing relationships between FFQ usual portion size and consumption-day intake for all food groups. This study confirmed consistent correlation between reported FFQ frequency or usual portion size of food (group) consumption and consumption-day intake on 24HR. Therefore the frequency data may be utilized as important covariate when estimating usual intake of food or food groups.

In DS-CDMA method, Mobile Stations own jointly one radio channel and are made to use a PN code (Pseudo-Noise Code) for the purpose of minimize interference. However, corelation value of PN code is one when time delay is zero but the corelation value is 1 / N when time delay is not 0. Therefore corelation characteristic does not fully attained. As a result, when the user increase, the performance degradation and system capacity problem will be able to occur by interference among users. In this paper, the PN code has ideally self corelation. It was proved that PN code could depress interference from other users in multiple access system.

This study investigates the changes in the atmosphere-ocean interactions over the South China Sea (SCS) by analyzing their variables in the period of 1979~2011 during the boreal summer (June-July-August). It is found that a simultaneous correlation coefficient between sea surface temperature (SST) and precipitation over SCS during summer is significantly changed before and after the late-1990s. That is, the variation of precipitation over SCS is negatively (positively) correlated with the SST variations before (after) the late-1990s. Our further correlation analysis indicates that the atmospheric forcing of the SST is dominant before the late-1990s accompanying with wind-evaporation feedback and cloud-radiation feedback. After the late-1990s, in contrast, the SST forcing of the atmosphere through the latent heat flux from the ocean to the atmosphere is dominant. It is found that the change in the relationship of atmosphere-ocean interactions over SCS are associated with the changes in the relationship with Northeast Asian summer precipitation. In particular, a simultaneous correlation coefficient between the precipitation over SCS and Northeast Asia becomes stronger during after the late-1990s than before the late-1990s. We argue that the increase of the SST forcing of the atmosphere over SCS may lead a direct relationship of precipitation variations between SCS and Northeast Asia after the late-1990s.

본 논문에서는 유무선 통신환경의 클라이언트-서버 모델에서 바이오정보를 이용해 비밀 키 또는 비밀 정보를 실시간 공유할 수 있는 신뢰구간 기반의 바이오-암호 기법을 설계하고 분석한다. 제안하는 바이오-암호 기법은 키 결합 방식의 바이오-암호 기법의 대표적인 기법의 하나인 퍼지볼트 기법을 기본 모델로 두고 있으나, 퍼지볼트 기법의 주요 이슈인 거짓 볼트 수의 증가에 따른 인식률 저하, 고차 다항식 복원 시간의 실용성 여부, 상관 공격에의 취약을 해결하기 위하여 T-검정 기반 신뢰구간을 적용한 키 결합 방식으로 설계하였다. 실험결과는 거짓 볼트 수의 증가와 상관없이 항상 비밀 키를 획득해 보안성과 정확성이 향상되고, 이때의 수행시간도 사용자가 인지하기 힘든 작은 값으로 실시간 사용의 가능성을 높이고, 유사 바이오정보로 비밀 키를 획득할 수 없어 상관 공격에도 강인함을 확인하였다.
