Nonlinearity parameter is an inherent property of materials measuring fundamental acoustic amplitude($A_1$) and second harmonic amplitude($A_2$). However, measurement of $A_1$ and $A_2$ has complex calibration procedure, many researchers prefer to measure relative nonlinearity parameter rather than absolute nonlinearity parameter. But, relative nonlinearity parameter is only detect materials degradation with various degradation samples, it is limited application in determining third order elastic constants of materials. Therefore, in this study, the piezoelectric detection method is adopted to measure absolute nonlinearity parameter due to experimental simplicity compare to capacitive detector. Linearity of measurement system is verified by $A_1^2vsA_2$ plot, and we measured ultrasonic nonlinearity parameters of fused silica and Al2024-T4.

Although the matching Pursuit is effective for video coding at low bit rate, it has a Problem since it needs much more calculation than the conventional block-based video coding method. The proposed fast matching pursuit method reduces inner product calculation that takes the most part of entire calculation by utilizing the symmetry of the absolute values of the one-dimensional Gator dictionary bases, the modified dictionary which allows faster matching without causing image quality degradation, and a Property of the two-dimensional Gabor dictionary that can be grouped in advance to four classes according to its frequency characteristics. Proposed method needs only about 1/8 of multiplications compared to the well-known separability-based fast method proposed by Neff.

This study evaluated the effect of the zeta potential of silica-alumina on the behavior, in terms of purity, yield, fractional precipitation time, precipitate shape, size of fractional precipitation in the increased surface area, and the fractional precipitation process, for the purification of paclitaxel. As the zeta potential value of silica-alumina increased, the yield of paclitaxel concurrently increased while the precipitation time decreased. The use of alumina with the highest value of the zeta potential (+35.41 mV) as a surface area-increasing material dramatically reduced the precipitation time by 12 h compared with the results of the control. On the other hand, the purity of paclitaxel had almost no effect on changes in the zeta potential of silica-alumina. In addition, the precipitate size was inversely correlated with the absolute value of the zeta potential.

This study examined the characteristics of the hourly demand of city gas in Korea and proposed multiple regression models to obtain precise estimates of the hourly demand of city gas. Forecasting the hourly demand of city gas with accuracy is essential in terms of safety and cost. If underestimated, the pipeline pressure needs to be increased sharply to meet the demand, when safety matters. In the opposite case, unnecessary inventory and operation costs are incurred. Data analysis showed that the hourly demand of city gas has a very high autocorrelation and that the 24-hour demand pattern of a day follows the previous 24-hour demand pattern of the same day. That is, there is a weekly cycle pattern. In addition, some conditions that temperature affects the hourly demand level were found. That is, the absolute value of the correlation coefficient between the hourly demand and temperature is about 0.853 on average, while the absolute value of the correlation coefficient on a specific day improves to 0.861 at worst and 0.965 at best. Based on this analysis, this paper proposes a multiple regression model incorporating the hourly demand ahead of 24 hours and the hourly demand ahead of 168 hours, and another multiple regression model with temperature as an additional independent variable. To show the performance of the proposed models, computational experiments were carried out using real data of the domestic city gas demand from 2009 to 2013. The test results showed that the first regression model exhibits a forecasting accuracy of MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) around 4.5% over the past five years from 2009 to 2013, while the second regression model exhibits 5.13% of MAPE for the same period.

Backgrounds : Assessment of the presence and degree of reversibility of airflow obstruction is clinically important in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The measurement of peak expiratory flow(PEF) is a simple, fast, and cheap method to assess the severity of obstruction and its degree of reversibility. Assessing the reversibility of airflow obstruction by peak expiratory flow(PEF) measurements is practicable in general practice, but its usefulness has not been well investigated. We compared PEF and $FEV_1$ in assessing reversibility of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma and developed a practical criterion for assessing the presence of reversibility in general practice. Methods : PEF measurements were performed (Spirometry) in 80 patients(aged 24-78) with a history of asthma or chronic obstructive lung disease before and after the inhalation of 200 g salbutamol. The change in PEF was compared with the change in forced expiratory volume in one second($FEV_1$). Reversible airflow obstruction was analyzed according to American Thoracic Society(ATS) criteria. Results : A 12% increase above the prebronchodilator value and a 200ml increase in either FVC or $FEV_1$ reversibility were observed in 45%(36) of the patients. Relative operating characteristic(ROC) analysis showed that an absolute improvement in PEF of 30 l/min gave optimal discrimination between patients with reversible and irreversible airflow obstruction(the sensitivity and specificity of an increase of 30 l/min in detecting a 12% increase above the prebronchodilator value and a 200ml increase in either FVC or $FEV_1$ were 72.2% and 72.7% respectively, with a positive predictive value of 68.4%). Conclusions : Absolute changes in PEF can be used to diagnose reversible airflow obstruction.

A study on measurement of refractive power for eyesight by condition of opposite color, has been conducted. In the results of the test, it was observed that farsightedness has better lightness large range. However, in the case of chroma, we cannot distinguish tell the nearsightedness from the farsightedness. Generally, refractive power increased with the increase of large range was revealed. This method is better as compared with red-green test method.

세라믹 분발의 분산안정성은 입자의 입경 및 형상, 배열형태, 그리고 분산기구에 따라 크게 달라진다. 대체로 입경이 콜로이드 범위내에 존재하면 일반적인 정전반발력이나 입체반발력에 의하여 분산이 가능하지만, 콜로이드 범위를 넘는 조대한 입경을 가지는 분말에서는 진정한 분산안정성을 얻는 것은 불가능하다. 비록 콜로이드 범위에 속히는 입경을 가지더라도 Hamaker 상수가 매우 높거나 기하이방성을 가진 입자가 우선배향성을 가지는 경우에도 마찬가지의 결과를 보여 준다. 진정한 의미의 분산안정성을 얻을 수 없는 경우 입자 간 포텐셜 에너지의 절대값이 최소가 되도록 함과 더불어 고분자 흡착층이나 전기이중층의 두께를 조정하여 입지간 평형거리를 조정하여 후속공정에서의 균일성을 유지하는 것이 기능하다. 이와 같은 제한응집은 진정한 의미의 분산안정성을 얻을 수 없는 분말을 구성분말로 하는 단미는 물론 복합재료에서도 활용이 가능하다. 나노 크기의 입경을 가지는 분말에서는 반데르발스 인력은 상대적으로 작지만, 정전반발력도 동시에 작아지기 때문에 에너지 장벽의 높이가 충분하지 않은 경향을 보인다. 따라서, 나노 분말의 분산안정성은 흡착층의 두께가 크지 않는 저분자량의 고분자를 흡착시켜 입체반발력을 부여하는 것이 바람직하다.

본 논문에서는 고밀도 DVD(Digital Versatile Disc) 시스템(4.7GB～l5GB)을 위한 신호 검출기법을 제안하고 FPGA로 구현한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 FDTrS/DF (Fixed Delay Trellis Search with Decision Feedback)는 트렐리스 구조를 사용하므로 FDTS/DF나 SSD/DF(Signal Space Detection with Decision Feedback)와 같이 이진 가지 구조를 사용하는 신호검출방식에 비해 더 나은 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 FDTrS/DF는 한 단의 트렐리스 구조를 사용해 역추적을 하지 않으므로 하드웨어의 복잡도와 속도면에서 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 하드웨어 구현 시 동작 속도의 향상을 위해 파이프라인 기법과, 계산량 감소를 위해 절대값 분기거리를 사용한다.

퇴적물의 음파전달속도에 크게 영향을 주는 온도변화에 따른 속도변화를 측정한 결과 기존에 제시되었던 값들보다 약간 낮은 값을 보여주었으나 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 결국 해양퇴적물의 온도에 따른 속도 변화율은 해수에서의 변화율과 거의 유사한 것으로 보아 해양퇴적물의 경우 온도에 따른 속도 변화는 공극수의 음향특성에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다. 서로 다른 퇴적물 유형에 대하여 온도에 따른 속도변화를 조사한 결과도 절대값은 달라도 변화양상은 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

Liquid Phase Epitaxy 법을 이용하여 La이 첨가된 YIG(Yitrium Ion Garnet)막을 성장시켰다. X선 회절 분석을 이용하여 La의 첨가량을 변화시키며 제조된 막의 격자상수를 조사한 결과, La의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 성장된 막의 격자상수도 증가하였으며 Y/La이 20인 경우, 막의 격자상수가 기판으로 사용한 GGG의 격자상수와 일치하였다. VSM(Vibration Sample Magnetometer)를 이용하여 구한 막의 포화자화 값은 La의 첨가량과 관계없이 순수한 YIG의 경우와 같은 값인 1750정도로 거의 일정하였다. FMR(FerroMagnetic Resonance) 측정장치를 이용한 막의 강자성 공명선폭을 측정결과 막의 공명선폭은 La의 첨가량과 관계없이 모든 경우에 순수한 YIG보다 감소하였다. 실험범위내의 La의 첨가에 대해서 기판과의 격자불일치가 순수한 YIG의 경우보다 감소하기 때문이다. La의 첨가량이 많은 조건에서 성장시킨 막은 공명선폭이 크고 두께의 증가에 따라서 선폭이 증가하였으며, YLa가 20과 30일 때 성장시킨 막에서는 공명선폭의 절대값도 작고 두께에 따른 공명선폭의 변화도 관찰되지 않았다.
