We propose a channel-attentive Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (CAMFCC) extraction method to improve the recognition performance of speech that is partially corrupted in the frequency domain. This method introduces weighting terms both at the filter bank analysis step and at the output probability calculation of decoding step. The weights are obtained for each frequency channel of filter bank such that the more reliable channel is emphasized by a higher weight value. Experimental results on TIDIGITS database corrupted by various frequency-selective noises indicated that the proposed CAMFCC method utilizes the uncorrupted speech information well, improving the recognition performance by 11.2% on average in comparison to a multi-band speech recognition system.

In this study, Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) analysis, which is one of the large deformation analyses, was incorporated to investigate excavation damage zone (EDZ) under TBM advancement. Considering the quasi-static condition, the dynamic analysis was performed to simulate the real TBM advancement and subsequently a case study on mesh and TBM excavation rate was carried out for satisfying a balance of accuracy and economic computational time. Based on this, a series of parametric studies were performed for different rock types and tunnel diameters. From the numerical analysis results, it is found that EDZ was taken to range within 0.4D(D=tunnel diameter) for most rocks. It is also found that the EDZ tends to increase as the tunnel diameter increases.

A damage-reduced trench was investigated in view of the defect distribution along trench sidewall and bottom using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, which was formed by HBr plasma and additive gases in magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching system. Adding $O_2$ and other additive gases into HBr plasma makes it possible to eliminate sidewall undercut and lower surface roughness by forming the passivation layer of lateral etching. To reduce the RIE induced damage and obtain the fine shape trench corner rounding, we investigated the hydrogen annealing effect after trench formation. Silicon atomic migration on trench surfaces using high temperature hydrogen annealing was observed with atomic scale view. Migrated atoms on crystal surfaces formed specific crystal planes such as (111), (113) low index planes, instead of fully rounded comers to reduce the overall surface energy. We could observe the buildup of migrated atoms against the oxide mask, which originated from the surface migration of silicon atoms. Using this hydrogen annealing, more uniform thermal oxide could be grown on trench surfaces, suitable for the improvement of oxide breakdown.

Cognitive-communicative disorders after traumatic brain injury(TBI) and right hemisphere damage(RHD) are different from other neurological disorders in nature. Therefore, it is not desirable to use aphasia tests in evaluating individuals with TBI or RHD. The aim of this study is to review assessment protocols on TBI and RHD, and literature related with them. As a result, it is recommended that individuals with TBI be examined in scope of the cognition including attention, memory, organization, reasoning, as well as the functional communication. Similarly, it is useful to consider high-order language related to various cognitive domains in assessing cognitive-communicative ability after RHD. In conclusion, we need to focus on the overall cognitive-communicative domains in an evaluative process of TBI and RHD. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop multiple items for individuals with cognitivecommunicative disorders for the purpose of differentiating these heterogeneous groups from other neurological disorders such as aphasia, and of making good use of them as a therapeutic manual.

PWR 원자력발전소의 정상 및 과도상태 운전중 동적모델과 확산모델을 이용하여 핵분열 생성물이 냉각재로 유출되는 현상을 모델링하고 국내외 핵연료 검사자료를 이용하여 개발된 전산프로 그램을 실증하였다. 손상핵연료수 예측결과 기존에 개발되어 사용되고 있는 Westinghouse사의 CADE 코드와 ABB-CE사의 IODYNE 코드보다 더 정확하였으며, 손상영역 및 연소도 예측도 비교적 정확하였다.

비보강 조적조는 비균일재료로 이루어진 합성재료에 가까우므로 그거동이 하중종류와 구조물의 손상정도에 따라서 매우 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 작은 지진부터 큰 지진까지 수차례의 모의 지진을 받는 구조물의 손상거동을 살펴보기 위한 방법으로, 시간영역 자료를 여러구간으로 나누어서 주파수가 어떻게 변화해 가는지 살펴보았다. 또한 주파수와 강도와의 관계식을 이용하여 단자유도계의 이선형모델도 유도하였다. 하중이 커짐에 따라서 이선형 모델의 강성은 계속적으로 저하됨을 알 수 있다. 실제로 실험결과는 누적된 손상을 받는 구조물의 거동이므로, 조적조의 수치해석적 모델의 개발시 이러한 누적된 손상효과를 합리적으로 처래해야 되는 문제점이 있다.

A new approach is proposed for restoration of corrupted regions and segmentation in natural text images. The challenge is to fill in the corrupted regions on the basis of color feature analysis by second order symmetric stick tensor. It is show how feature analysis can benefit from analyzing features using tensor voting with chromatic and achromatic components. The proposed method is applied to text images corrupted by manifold types of various noises. Firstly, we decompose an image into chromatic and achromatic components to analyze images. Secondly, selected feature vectors are analyzed by second-order symmetric stick tensor. And tensors are redefined by voting information with neighbor voters, while restore the corrupted regions. Lastly, mode estimation and segmentation are performed by adaptive mean shift and separated clustering method respectively. This approach is automatically done, thereby allowing to easily fill-in corrupted regions containing completely different structures and surrounding backgrounds. Applications of proposed method include the restoration of damaged text images; removal of superimposed noises or streaks. We so can see that proposed approach is efficient and robust in terms of restoring and segmenting text images corrupted.

In this paper, the feasibility of using Shannon's sampling theorem to reconstruct exact mode shapes of a structural system from a limited number of sensor points and localizing damage in that structure with reconstructed mode shapes is investigated. Shannon's sampling theorem for the time domain is reviewed. The theorem is then extended to the spatial domain. To verify the usefulness of extended theorem, mode shapes of a simple beam are reconstructed from a limited amount of data and the reconstructed mode shapes are compared to the exact mode shapes. On the basis of the results, a simple rule is proposed for the optimal placement of accelerometers in modal parameter extraction experiments. Practicality of the proposed rule and the extended Shannon's theorem is demonstrated by detecting damage in laboratory beam structure with two-span via applying to mode shapes of pre and post damage states.

This paper presents a method that can automatically detect variety of degradations (i.e., scratches and blotches) in old film archive. The proposed method consists of candidate detection and verification. Degradations are first identified by finding the local extreme of a frame in spatiotemporal domains, thereby using edge detector and SROD detector. Then, to remove some false alarms occurred in the first stages, the verification is performed using the texture and shape properties of scratches and blotches. The textural properties of scratches and blotches are learned using neural networks (NNs) and their shapes are represented using morphological filters. The experiments were performed on several old films, then the results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method, where it has a precision of 81% and a recall of 79%.
