In this Paper. a method for improving the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for conversational speech is proposed. which mainly focuses on increasing the robustness against the rapidly speaking utterances. The proposed method doesn't require an additional speech recognition task to represent speaking rate quantitatively. Energy distribution for special bands is employed to detect the vowel regions, the number of vowels Per unit second is then computed as speaking rate. To improve the Performance for fast speech. in the pervious methods. a sequence of the feature vectors is expanded by a given scaling factor, which is computed by a ratio between the standard phoneme duration and the measured one. However, in the method proposed herein. utterances are classified by their speaking rates. and the scaling factor is determined individually for each class. In this procedure, a maximum likelihood criterion is employed. By the results from the ASR experiments devised for the 10-digits mobile phone number. it is confirmed that the overall error rate was reduced by $17.8\%$ when the proposed method is employed

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery appears to offer certain advantages such as earlier postoperative recovery and a greater cosmetic effect than that achieved through conventional sternotomy. However, this approach has not yet been widely adopted in Korea to replace complex open heart surgery such as mitral valve reconstruction. This study compared the results of robot assisted minimally invasive mitral valve repair with those results of conventional sternotomy. Material and Method: From December 1993 to December 2005, 520 consecutive patients underwent mitral valve reconstruction for mitral regurgitation in our institution. These patients were subdivided according to those whose surgery used the conventional sternotomy approach (Group S, n=432) and those who underwent minimally invasive right anterior thoracotomy (Group M, n=88); we then compared the clinical results of both groups. When we performed minimally invasive right thoracotomy, we used a robot (AESOP 3000) and made an incision less than 5 cm. Result: Our study patients in both groups were similar for their age, gender and preoperative ejection fraction. There were two hospital mortalities in group S. but there was no mortality in the group M patients. Significant reductions in the ICU stay and the postoperative hospital stay were observed in the group M patients compared with the group S patients. However, both the bypass time and the aortic cross-clamp time were significantly longer in the group M patients. In spite of the confined incision in the group M patients, there were no limitations on the mitral valve repair techniques. There was a similar frequency of postoperative significant residual mitral regurgitation in both groups. Conclusion: In this study, the minimally invasive mitral valve repair showed comparable early results with the conventional sternotomy patients. We will now need long-term follow-up of these patients who underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair, but we anticipate that based on the results of this study, we will begin to routinely perform minimally invasive cardiac surgery as out primary approach for mitral valve reconstruction.

Purpose: To evaluate the long term significance of the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen (Ag) as a tumor marker in uterine cervix carcinoma. Materials and Methods: The SCC antigen levels of pre-radiotherapy and serial post-radiotherapy serum were analyzed in 48 patients who received radiotherapy with histologically proven primary SCC of the uterine cervix. Results: Pre-radiotherapy SCC Ag level was high ($\geq$2 ng/ml) at 79.2$\%$. After the treatment, the SCC Ag level was significantly decreased. The SCC Ag level measured at about 3 months after radiotherapy was high at 23.0$\%$. In further follow up measurements, a rise of the SCC Ag to a high level was well associated with clinical relapse. The specificity of the elevated SCC Ag level in association with recurrent or persistent disease was 100$\%$, and the sensitivity was 85.7$\%$. In 3 of 4 lung metastasis cases, lung lesions were detected in chest PA before elevation of the SCC Ag level. The median lead time of the high SCC Ag level to clinical recurrence was 4 months. Conclusion: SCC Ag was a good tumor marker for monitoring treatment effect in patients with increased pre-treatment levels except in case of early lung metastasis. Elevation of the SCC Ag level after radiotherapy accurately predicted the treatment failure with lead time of 4 months. But, in early lung metastasis cases, the SCC level may be normal temporarily. Thus, chest PA should be checked to evaluate the presence of lung metastasis.

This study deals with waiting-time dependent backordering rate during stock-out period in the EconomicProduction Quantity (EPQ) model. Assuming that the backordering rate follows an exponentially decreasingfunction of the waiting time, the backorder rate is developed under First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) andLast-Come-First-Served (LCFS) Policy. The mathematical models are developed based on differential equations.Through numerical examples, the validity of the developed models is illustrated.

현재 또는 장래에 예견되는 거의 모든 통신서비스를 통합적으로 제공할 수 있는 B-ISDN환경하에서 음성통화와 비디오정보, 데이타들이 각기 다른 bit rate와 서비스 요구조건(통화시간, 질등)를 가지고 전송서비스를 받으려 하기때문에 매우 다양한 서비스들의 조합을 고려하여 교환시스팀을 구현해야 한다. B-ISDN에 적합한 전송기술로서 ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)이 일반적으로 제안되고 있는데 이미 10여종의 독특한 ATM시스팀들이 이론적, 실험적 연구단계를 거쳐 거의 실용화 단계까지 이르렀다고 주장되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ATM교환시스팀의 설계요건과 비교기준을 제시하여 설계 대자인을 주어진 기술제약하에 최적화 할 수 있는 조건을 제시한다. 이때 우선 기본 스위치의 구조를 단단계로 할 것인가 다단계로 할 것인가에 대한 정량적, 확률적인 비교가 행해지고 특히 이미 많은 ATM스위치에서 채택되고 있는 Banyan형태의 망의 성능분석을 보다 현실에 근접하게 할 수 있는 이산적 마코프체인에 의한 모형과 계산방법이 확립된다. 이를 통해 단위스위치내부에 버퍼의 유무, 버퍼를 두는 위치, 또한 버퍼사이즈에 의한 영향등이 세부적으로 분석된다.

AI-2.5wt%Li 합금을 시효처리하여 시효거동과 인장성질에 미치는 $\delta$' 상의 영향을 조사하였다. $\delta$' 상의 입자 반경은 시효 시간의 1/3승에 비례하여 조대화하였다. $\delta$' 상과 기지상과의 계면에너지는 0.0073 J/$m^2$, 확산계수는 1.42$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, 초대화 거동은 MLSW이론에 부합됨을 알 수 있었다. 미세하고 균일하게 분포한 $\delta$'상은 전반적으로 인장강도의 상승을 가져왔으며, 평형상인 $\delta$상의 석출과 이로 인한 무석출물대의 존재로 과시효시 강도가 감소하였다. 인장변형시 전위는 초전위로 아시효와 피크시효시에는 $\delta$'상을 전단하지만 과시효시에는 $\delta$'상을 전단하지 못하고 우회하여 전위루우프를 형성한다.

A bubble-powered microactuator is designed conceptually. And the actuation mechanism due to bubble growth and collapse is studied numerically and analytically. In this analysis, it is estimated that the time lag for bubble formation on micro line heater, the duration of the bubble growth and collapse and the pressure change in actuator due to the bubble evolution. Based on these calculations, the actuator control scheme is visualized. This actuator may be applicable to the system which needs to pump liquid correctly and regularly.

실내공기 정화를 목적으로 하는 에어컨이나 공기청정기 등의 경우 사용시간이 길어질수록 공기 정화용 필터에 오염물질이 축적되고 수많은 세균이 필터에 증식하게 되며, 이에 대한 유효한 살균방법 중의 하나인 오존살균방법을 이용하게 된다. 오존은 강력한 살균력과 단시간의 환원작용으로 인해 이차적인 잔류 오염물질을 남기지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 선대 그물형 전극을 적용한 실내필터 살균용 오존 발생장치의 선전극 개수에 따른 살균을 위한 최적의 오존 발생 특성에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 실내필터 살균을 위한 최적의 오존농도는 약 2[ppm] 정도가 요구되므로, 본 오존 발생장치의 경우 선전극이 7개이고 인가전압이 18[kV]일 때 1.134[W]의 전력으로 3.527[ppm/W]의 오존을 발생시켰다.
