본 논문은 자연스러운 합성음 생성을 위한 끊어 읽기 강도 예측에 관한 것으로, 문장에 대한 품사열이 주어졌을 때 Posteriori 확률을 최대화하는 끊어 읽기 강도를 비터비 디코딩으로 예측한다. 훈련용 데이터는 여성화자 1인이 발성한 2,100 문장이며, 음성 데이터로부터 휴지길이(pause)에 따라 끊어 읽기 강도를 2단계로 할당하고, 텍스트에서는 30개의 품사 태그 심볼을 이용하여 형태소분석 및 태깅을 수행하였다. 관측확률은 3개 연속하는 품사열이 발생할 확률로 하고 끊어 읽기 강도 천이확률은 bigram으로 했을 때, cross validation 방법으로 성능 평가를 수행하였다 평가결과, 훈련데이타에 대해서는 $89.7\%$, 테스트 데이터에 대해서는 $84.9\%$의 예측정확률을 보였다.

본 연구는 실리카흄을 혼화재료로 사용하여 1200kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$정도의 초고강도 콘크리트를 제조하였으며 이에 대한 재료특성을 실험 및 보부재의 휨거동을 실험을 실시 비교 분석하였다. 재료특성 실험으로는 기본적인 강도 시험, 파괴음 측정에 의한 AE실험 그리고 수은압입법에 의한 세공실험을 실시하였다. 초고강도 콘크리트의 재료특성치는 ACI 363의 고강도 콘크리트 재료특성 결가보다 크게 나타났으며 압축강도와 미세공극량은 선형적으로 비례하였다. 보부재의 휨특성을 파악하기 위해 인장철근비 변화, 전단보강근의 유무 및 철근 표면형상의 변화 등을 실험인자로 하였으며 각각의 현상을 비교분석함으로써 균열성상에 따른 하중-변위 관계, 중립축 이동에 따른 부재거동 및 응력블록의 변화에 관하여 비교 고찰하였다. 초고강도 콘크리트 사용한 보부재의 경우 중립축 상승으로 단면의 압축영역은 매우 작아져 급격히 압축파괴되는 경향을 보였으며 응력블록 형태는 삼각형의 분포를 보였다.

Digital waveguide model is a general method that is used in physical modeling of musical instruments. Wave motion is analyzed by time or by space in digital waveguide model. Because sampling is made via time, it is general that musical instrument model is described by wave motion of time. In this paper, we synthesized the musical instrument sound by adding instrument body model to the spatial based string model. In this way, we could improve sound quality and process musical instrument model's tone control variables effectively. We explained about delay error that happens in string and body in space based sampling and showed method to process fractional delay using FD (Fractional Delay)filter. Finally, we explained the relation between tone quality and number of delays. And we also compared the result with time base digital waveguide model.

본 논문에서는 파동 방정식으로부터 클래식 기타의 Physical 모델을 유도해 낸 후 이를 구현하였다. 이러한 모델을 이용해 별도의 음원 데이터를 사용하지 않고 현재 전자 음악에서 일반적으로 사용되는 table look-Up 방식보다 효율적으로 악기 음을 함성 할 수 있도록 하였다. 파동 방정식은 현의 장력, 길이 및 질량 데이터를 이용해 현의 움직임을 표현한 것이며 이 식으로부터 Fourier Series를 유도하고 다시 Z 변환을 거쳐 현의 운동을 모델링하였다. 이 과정에서 현의 양끝에서 반사되는 신호의 크기를 모델링에 포함 시켰다. 이러한 현의 모델은 모든 종류의 현악기에 공통으로 적용될 수 있으며 현의 장력 길이, 질량 데이터를 변화해 다양한 현의 특성들을 모델링 할 수 있다. 또 음 합성을 위해 현의 초기 상태 및 연속되는 입력 데이터를 바꿔 클래식 기타의 다양한 음들을 합성 할 수 있다. 클래식 기타의 Physical 모델을 평가하기 위해, 실제 악기 음 및 table look-up 방식으로 합성된 음들을 녹음해 서로 비교하였다. 시간 및 주파수 도메인 상에서 비교가 이뤄 졌으며 table look-up 합성 방식에서 모든 주파수대가 동일하게 감소하고 비슷한 음역에서 음 높이에 적합한 배음 주파수 비율을 조절할 수 없는 등, 각 을의 특성들을 정확히 묘사할 수 없는 문제점을 극복할 수 있었다.

It is important to predict accurately reverberation level, which is a limiting factor in underwater target detection. Recently, the studies have been expanded from monostatic sonar to bistatic sonar in which source and receivers are separated. To simulate the bistatic reverberation level, the computation processes for propagation, scattering strength, and scattering cross section are different from those in monostatic case and more complex computation processes are required. Although there have been many researches for bistatic reverberation, few studies have assessed the bistatic scattering cross section which is a key factor in simulate reverberation level. In this paper, a new method to estimate the bistatic scattering cross section is suggested, which uses the area of intersection between two circles. Finally, the reverberation levels simulated with the scattering cross section estimated using the method suggested in this paper are compared with those estimated using the methods previously suggested and those measured from an acoustic measurements conducted in May 2013.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of estrus-related vocalization of sows after artificial insemination. Vocalization of sows in artificial insemination day, and 3 days and 50 days after artificial insemination, were recorded 3 hours per day from September 2006 to March 2007 using the MD Recorder(Marantz PMD-650) and microphone(RF Condesner MIC, MKH 416P48). The shapes of spectrum and spectrogram of vocalization were different in each period after artificial insemination. There were significant differences in frequency and intensity, but not in duration of vocalization. The fact that signal may give a reliable indication of the signaller's needs has suggested that in some circumstances they can provide information on animal welfare.

The object of this study was to investigate the flexural stress blocks of High Strength Concrete Members under monotonic loading. Such a stress block should be clearly idealized before High Strength Concrete can be used with confidence in Structural Members. The principal test variables were the Compressive Strength of Concrete, the percentage of longitudinal reinforcement and the spacing of confinement reinforcement. The rectangular stress block of the present ACI Building Code was found to give acceptably conservative flexural strength predictions over the entire range of concrete strength from 280kg/crd (4Ksi)to 1050kg/crd( 15Ksi)

Most of noises from cars or home appliances accompany successive impulsive noise due to repeated operation. A human auditory system is able to perceive the successive impulsive noise as either a set of independent noise or amplitude modulated noise according to its occurrence period. This study is to identify main influence factors on understanding of impulsive characteristics and find most appropriate sound quality metrics to express the successive impulsive noise. To do this, the successive impulsive noises were designed and utilized to perform a listening test for identifying conditions where successive impulsive noise can be recognized to have impulsive characteristics. These results were analyzed with sound quality metrics such as loudness, fluctuation strength, and roughness in order to compare the subjective results with the objective results. Consequently, the results revealed that the successive impulsive noise exhibits impulsive characteristics when its occurrence frequency is less than 50 Hz. It was also observed that roughness and fluctuation strength results are not applicable to express the successive impulsive noise because they heavily depend on the amplitude modulation characteristics. On the other hand, loudness results are considered to be useful as an evaluation factor of the successive impulsive noise through the use of loudness limen because it does not depend on the amplitude modulation characteristics.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of vocalization of laying hen related with space in battery cage. The size of cages were classified into control (0.30 m ${\times}$ 0.14 m ${\times}$ 0.55 m, length ${\times}$ width ${\times}$ height), small (0.21 m ${\times}$ 0.14 m ${\times}$ 0.55 m) and large (0.30 m ${\times}$ 0.30 m ${\times}$ 0.55 m) size. Vocalization of 16 individuals of laying hen in each group of Hy-Line Brown (80 week old) were recorded 3 hours per day (10:00am~11:00am, 3:00pm~4:00pm and 7:00pm~8:00pm) using digital recorder and microphone during October 2008 and February 2009. Characteristics of frequency, intensity and duration of vocalization were analyzed by GLM (general linear model) and Duncan's multi-test. There were differences in basic and maximum frequency, and intensity based on analysis of spectrogram and spectrum among different cage sizes. Vocalization of laying hen would be one of the indicators to understand the stress caused by rearing space in batter cage.

It is very difficult to reduce ambient noise level in the downtown. The best method is to improve the sound amenity of the districts, considering concept of soundscape. This study aims to survey the effect of introducing sound and masking to reduce the background noise level. We carried out the evaluating test for 18 introducing sounds varied S/N ratio(-5, 0, +5) in the city riverside. In these test, subjects evaluated the sound environment with five bipolar adjective scales. It was evaluated that introducing sounds improved the sound environment, and that S/N +5 dB was very appropriate to mask the background noise. But the hearing level was suggested to be S/N 0 dB or less.
