A new level set based topology optimization employing inner-front creation algorithm is presented. In the conventional level set based topology optimization, the optimum topology strongly depends on the initial level set distribution due to the incapability of inner-front creation during optimization process. In the present work, an inner-front creation algorithm is proposed, in which the sizes, positions, and number of new inner-fronts during the optimization process can be globally and consistently identified. To update the level set function during the optimization process, the least-squares finite element method is employed. As demonstrative examples for the flexibility and usefulness of the proposed method, the level set based topology optimization considering lightweight design of 3D shell structure is carried out.

In this article, we propose the weighted LAD (least absolute deviations) estimators for multi-dimensional contingency tables and drive an estimation method to estimate the proposed estimators. To illustrate the robustness of the estimators, simulation results are presented for several models Including log-linear models and models for ordinal variables in multidimensional contingency tables. Examples were also introduced.

LPC 계수를 LSP 변환하는 방법에는 복소근, 실근, 비율 필터, 체비셰프 급수, 적응적 순차형 최소제곱 평균 방법(adaptive sequential LMS) 등이 있다. 이 방법들 중 음성 부호화기에서 주로 사용하는 실근 방법은 근을 구하기 위해 주파수 영역을 순차적으로 검색하기 때문에 계산시간이 많이 소요되는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 LPC에서 LSP로 변환하는 4가지 고속 알고리즘을 제안한다. 첫 번째 방식에서는 검색간격에 멜 스케일을 적용하였고, 두 번째는 홀수번째 LSP 파라미터의 분포도를 이용하여 검색순서를 조정한 방법이다. 세 번째 방식과 네 번째 방식에서는 각각, 모음 특성, LSP 분포특성과 해상도를 이용하여 계산시간을 단축하였다. LSP 변환시간은 4가지 방법 모두 35~50% 단축되었다. 또한 실험결과에서는 각 알고리즘의 고유한 특성에 대하여 분석한다.

This paper discusses model building for repeated binary response data with different time-dependent covariates each occasion. Since repeated measurements data are having correlated structure, weighed least squares(WLS) methodology is applied. Repeated measures designs are usually having different sizes of experimental units like split-plot designs. However repeated measures designs differ from split-plot designs in that the levels of one or more factors cannot be randomly assigned to one or more of the sizes of experimental units in the experiment. In this case, the levels of time cannot be assigned at random to the time intervals. Because of this nonrandom assignment, the errors corresponding to the respective experimental units may have a covariance matrix. So, the estimates of effects included in a suggested logit model are obtained by using covariance structures.

Accurate software effort estimation has always been a challenge for the software industrial and academic software engineering communities. Many studies have focused on effort estimation methods to improve the estimation accuracy of software effort. Although data quality is one of important factors for accurate effort estimation, most of the work has not considered it. In this paper, we investigate the influence of outlier elimination on the accuracy of software effort estimation through empirical studies applying two outlier elimination methods(Least trimmed square regression and K-means clustering) and three effort estimation methods(Least squares regression, Neural network and Bayesian network) associatively. The empirical studies are performed using two industry data sets(the ISBSG Release 9 and the Bank data set which consists of the project data collected from a bank in Korea) with or without outlier elimination.

In this paper, we resolved a trade-off problem of the blind equalizer based on the stop-and-go algorithm that is commonly used for QAM demodulation in CATV receiver. The stop-and-go algorithm has used the LMS(least mean square) algorithm in the updating operation of tap weights so that the structure of equalizer is simple, but there is a trade-off between convergence speed and steady state error as in the typical LMS algorithm. We used the variable step size algrithm to improve the convergence speed with the steady state error in the constant level. With respect to the same level of the steady state error, the variable step size stop-and-go algortihm improved convergence speed by about $36%{\sim}56%$ as compared with that of the constant step size algortihm.

Least squares (LS) regression is a classic method for regression that is optimal under assumptions of regression and usual observations. However, the presence of unusual data in the LS method leads to seriously distorted estimates. Therefore, various robust estimation methods are proposed to circumvent the limitations of traditional LS regression. Among these, there are M-estimators based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), L-estimators based on linear combinations of order statistics and R-estimators based on a linear combinations of the ordered residuals. In this paper, robust regression estimators with high breakdown point and/or with high efficiency are compared under several simulated situations. The paper analyses and compares distributions of estimates as well as relative efficiencies calculated from mean squared errors (MSE) in the simulation study. We conclude that MM-estimators or GR-estimators are a good choice for the real data application.

A mobile CARS spectrometer is constructed to measure the instantaneous temperature of gases, of which software include the quick fit methods and a least square fitting method to obtain temperatures from the spectra. Two quick-fit-methods give smaller variance of temperatures than the least square fitting method even though they consume much shorter time to yield temperatures. The precision and accuracy of CARS temperature is measured in the graphite tube blackbody furnace in reference to a radiation pyrometer. The accuracy of the CARS temperature is $\pm$2% from 1000K to 2400K and the precision is $\pm$35K at 1600K with the most accurate quick-fit-method. As a demonstration of the instantaneous measurement, the spectrometer is applied for measurement of the turbulent combustion at a certain condition. eograms(HS) are made using a relatively small number of synthesized 2D images. The influence of aliasing artifacts caused by insufficient or improper sampling is presented, and a new sampling theory is proposed, which is used to making holographic stereograms. Also, the optical system for extension of viewing distance and viewing zone is proposed. Results of this analysis can be applied to design normal holographic stereograms and computer based holographic stereograms.

Application of the filtered-x LMS adaptive filter to active noise cancellation requires to estimate the transfer charactersitics between the output and the error signal of the adaptive canceler. In this paper, we derive the filtered-x adaptive noise cancellation algorithm and analyze its convergence behavior when the acoustic noise consists of multiple sinusoids. The results of the convergence analysis of the filtered-x LMS algorithm indicate that the effects of the parameter estimation inaccuracy on the convergence behavior of the algorithm are characterized by two distinct components : Phase estimation error and estimated gain. In particular, the convergence is shown to strongly affected by the accuracy of the phase response estimate. Simulation results are presented to support the theoretical convergence analysis.

This paper predicts 6 facial regions that may have sharply different scattering properties, rendering the face more realistically based on their diffusion profiles. The scattering properties are acquired in the form of high dynamic range by photographing the pattern formed around an unit ray incident on facial skin. The acquired data are fitted to a 'linear combination of Gaussian functions', which well approximates the original diffusion profile of skin and has good characteristics as the filter. During the process, to prevent its solutions from converging into local minima, we take advantage of the genetic algorithm to set up the initial value. Each Gaussian term is applied to the irradiance map as a filter, expressing subsurface scattering effect. In this paper, to efficiently handle the maximum 12 Gaussian filterings, we make use of the parallel capacity of CUDA.
