Stress history increases the residual horizontal stress of granular soil and, consequently, the penetration resistance. This study analyzes the effect of stress history on the cone resistance ($q_c$), horizontal stress index ($K_D$) and dilatometer modulus ($E_D$) of CPT and DMT from calibration chamber specimen in OC as well as NC state. Test results show that the normalized cone resistance by mean effective stress correlates well with the relative density and the state parameter, whereas the normalized cone resistance by vertical effective stress is a little affected by stress history. The influence of stress history is more reflected on $K_D$ than $E_D$ and $q_c$. The $K_D/K_0$, in which the effect of stress history on $K_D$ is compensated by the at-rest coefficient of earth pressure, $K_0$, is related to relative density, state parameter and the normalized cone resistance by mean effective stress. It is also observed that the normalized dilatometer modulus by mean effective stress ($E_D/{\sigma}_m'$) shows a unique correlation with the state parameter, regardless of stress history.

This paper investigates the achievable rate volumes for non-successive interference cancellation(SIC) non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) schemes, especially for 3-user correlated information sources(CIS). First, the closed-form expressions for the achievable rate volumes of non-SIC 3-user CIS NOMA are derived. Then it is numerically shown that the large correlation coefficients, as the achievable rate volumes of non-SIC 3-user CIS NOMA is larger than that of conventional SIC 3-user independent information sources(IIS) NOMA. We also demonstrate by various comparisons that the impact of the correlation coefficients of weaker channel gain users on achievable rate volume is more significant than those of stronger channel gain users.

Vibration data from two blasting sites were analyzed to determine the sufficient sample number for blasting vibration estimation. Most important result is that much more than 30 sample data and succeeding measurement are necessary to estimate confident blasting vibration level and to determine limit scaled distance.

In case of wavelet coefficients have correlation, in image signal denoising using wavelet shrinkage denoising method, the denoising effect for the image signal is reduced when the wavelet shrinkage denoising method is used. The coefficients of multiwavelet transform have correlation by pre-filters. To solve the degradation problem in multiwavelet transform, V Sterela suggested a new pre-filter for the Universal threshold or weighting factors to the threshold. In this paper, to improve the denoising effect in the multiwavelet transform, the coefficient normalizing method that the coefficient are divided by estimated noise deviation is adopted to the transformed multiwavelet coefficients in the course of wavelet shrinkage technique. And the thresholds of universal, SURE and GCV are estimated using normalized coefficients and tried to denoise by the wavelet shrinkage technique. We compared PSNRs of denoised images for each thresholds and confirmed the efficiency of the proposed method.

수자원관리와 수문모형에 있어 강수, 증발산, 침투, 침루 등의 물 순환과정에 대한 실질적인 이해와 분석연구의 중요도가 높아지고 있는 실정이며, 그중에서도 토양수분은 강수의 침투, 유출 등의 지표면과 대기사이의 질량 및 에너지이동에 관여하는 중요한 요소로서 수자원 및 수문현상에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 이를 위해 강수, 증발산, 토양수분과 같은 수문변수에 대한 다양한 관측이 실시되어야 하지만 국내에서는 지속적이고 안정적으로 지상관측을 할 수 없는 실정이며 관련 기반기술도 매우 취약하다. 따라서 이를 극복하기 위해서는 위성영상자료를 이용함으로써 한반도 전체에 대한 광역적인 토양수분자료의 획득을 용이하게 한다. 본 연구의 연구유역은 수자원 연구를 위해서 지정된 용담댐 시험유역으로 하였으며, 토양수분 관측지점의 지상관측 수문자료인 각 지점별 강수량, 지면온도, 인공위성자료인 MODIS 정규식생지수 등의 가용자료를 수집하고 신경망모형을 활용한 토양수분자료 생산 모형을 개발하여, 개선된 시공간 분해능과 공간정보 대표성을 가진 광역 토양수분자료를 생산하고 적용타당성을 분석하였다. 산정된 토양수분모형의 적용가능성을 파악하고자 용담댐 유역의 각 지점별 토양수분 관측데이터와 추정데이터를 비교한 결과 추천, 부귀, 상정 지점의 경우 평균 약 0.9257의 상관계수와 약 1.2917의 평균제곱근오차를 보였고, 검증지점인 천천2의 경우 약 0.8982의 상관계수와 약 5.1361의 평균제곱근오차의 결과를 보여주었으며 토양수분 추정모형의 적용가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new robust adaptive algorithm and a post-processing method are proposed to improve the performance of AEC without computational burden. Its step-size is normalized by the sum of the powers of the reference input signal and the desired signal. When the near-end speaker's speech and noise are applied into the microphone, the step-size becomes small and the misalignment of coefficients are reduced. To reduce the residual echoes, a new post-processing method, which is co-operated with the proposed noise-robust adaptive algorithm, is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the correlation of the desired signal and the estimation error signal. The residual echoes are attenuated as proportional to the correlation normalized with the power of desired signals. The normalized correlation plays a role as Wiener filter for residual echoes. In the double-talk situation, the estimation error signals, that are residual echoes, dominantly include the near-end speaker's speech and the normalized correlation closes to 1. Therefore, the near-end speaker's speech can be transmitted without being attenuated. When the desired signals consists of only the acoustic echoes, the residual echoes are mostly attenuated and canceled by the proposed post-processor. The computation of AEC using the proposed post-processor is comparable to NLMS algorithm.

This paper presents an efficient signature recognition method by using the hybrid similarity criterion, which is in inverse proportion to distance and in proportion to correlation between the images. The distance is applied to express the spacial property of image, and the correlation is also applied to express the statistical property. The proposed criterion provides the robust recognition to both the geometrical variations such as position, size, and rotation and the shape variation. The normalized cross-correlation(NCC), which is calculated by considering 4 directions based on the histogram of binary image, is applied to express rapidly and accurately the similarity between the images. The proposed method has been applied to the problem for recognizing the 20 truck images of 288*288 pixels and the 105(3 persons * 35 images) signature images of 256*256 pixels, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performance that appears the image characters well. Especially, the hybrid criterion of NCC and ordinal distance has a superior recognition performance to the hybrid criterion using city-block or Euclidean distance.

In order to evaluate variation of fatigue data of the LP steam turbine blade steel, it is important to estimate P - S - N curves to accurately define the probability distributions. In this study, new procedure is introduced to determine the expression of P - S - N curves. For this purpose, 3-parameter Weibull distribution was found to be most appropriate among assumed distributions when the probability distributions of the fatigue life were examined by the proposed analysis. Furthermore, parameter estimation for P - S - N curves was performed using various optimization to maximize the correlation coefficient. As a result of this, sequential linear programing method is used for estimation of P - S - N curves.

This paper proposes a new method for the normalization of shape pattern based on Gaussian probability density function to increase automatic recognition rate of hand-written Hangul pattern. The sizes of hand-written Hangul pattern are detected from the input images, and pattern sizes are normalized by two variables interpolation. The pattrn shapes are noralized by letting correlation coefficients equal to zero. It is analyzed theoretically and verified through computer simulation for the relation between input image and normaized shape pattern. It is confirmed that this method is effective and reasonable for deformed hand-written Hangul pattern. Experimental resu results show that the declination. size and stroke width of hand-written Hangul patterns are mych improved.

In this paper, we studied about several methods of testing hypothesis of correlation, specially Approximate method, Empirical method and Bootstrap method. The Approximate method is based on the Fisher's Z-transformation and the Empirical and Bootstrap methods approximate the distribution of the sample correlation coefficient by Monte Carlo simulation and Bootstrap technique, respectively. In order to compare how good these tests are, we computed powers under various alternatives. Consequently, we see that the Approximate test performs very well even if in small sample and all tests have almost the same power in large sample.
