In this paper, Nonlinear Autoregressive (NAR) method based on Least Square-Support Vector Regression (LS-SVR) is introduced and tested for nonlinear sustained vowel modeling. In the database of total 43 sustained vowel of Benign Vocal Fold Lesions having aperiodic waveform, this nonlinear synthesizer near perfectly reproduced chaotic sustained vowels, and also conserved the naturalness of sound such as jitter, compared to Linear Predictive Coding does not keep these naturalness. However, the results of some phonation are quite different from the original sounds. These results are assumed that single-band model can not afford to control and decompose the high frequency components. Therefore multi-band model with wavelet filterbank is adopted for substituting single band model. As a results, multi-band model results in improved stability. Finally, nonlinear sustained vowel modeling using NAR based on LS-SVR can successfully reconstruct synthesized sounds nearly similar to original voiced sounds.

Focusing on native plants that have high possibility of being introduced as rooftop material, this study was conducted to investigate extensive and easy-to-manage rooftop garden and to raise the utilization of native plants by verifying their growing response to artificial substrate soil depth and irrigation period. The study was conducted from March to September in 2002. Plants tested included Chrysanthemum zawadskii, Sedium middendorffianum, Thymus quinquecostatus, Allium senescens, and Dianthus superbus. Regarding soil depth, it was 5 cm and 10 cm. Irrigation period was non-irrigation, 1-week, 2-weeks, and 3- weeks, Its result is as follows; 1. In case of Sedum middendorffianum Maxim, mortality rate was 0% regardless of soil depth and irrigation period making it very suitable material for rooftop garden. 2. In case of Allium senescens L., mortality rate was 0% regardless of soil depth and irrigation period making it very suitable material for rooftop garden. Therefore, Provided that fertilizing is managed well, it is a plant that can be highly utilized.3. In case of Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herb. Subsp. (Nakai) Y. Lee Stat., the growth of top was lower in 10cm than in 5cm and it grew well in 10cm. When utilizing for rooftop garden, it would be desirable to keep minimum viable soil depth at over 10cm. If there is enough rainfall, soil and soil depth seem to have greater effect on growth than irrigation period does. 4. In case of Diauthus superbus L. var. longicalycinus (Maxim) Williams, rooting rate and growth were better in 10cm than in 5cm. Therefore, it is desirable to keep minimum soil depth at over 10cm. 5. In case of Thymus quinquecostatus Celak, the growth of top and flowering were better in 10cm than in 5cm. Therefore, it seems desirable to have minimum viable soil depth to be over 10cm. In conclusion, the most suitable species for rooftop garden are Sedium middendorffianum and Allium senescens in this experiment. However, Chrysanthemum zwadskii, Thymus quinquecostatus, and Dianthus chinensis also can be utilized greatly when irrigation is managed regularly in artificial mixed soil over 10cm.

This study examined the concentration of combustion gases while considering low ventilation and respiration frequency. A one-quarter-size ISO 9705 room corner test was performed. The concentrations of carbon monoxide and oxygen were measured in each case with the continuous inhalation of combustion gas with low ventilation (2, 6, and 10 LPM) and different respiration frequencies (2 s, 5 s, and infinity). The combustion of a gasoline pool fire in the compartment had a theoretical heat release rate of 5.34 kW. The results show that the deviation of the gas concentrations becomes higher as the low ventilation increases compared to the respiration frequency. In addition, as the respiration frequency increases, the variation in the minimum oxygen concentration is larger than the average value, while in the case of carbon monoxide, the variation in the average value is larger than the maximum value. These results show that the inhalation characteristics of refugees should be considered to investigate fires.

Photoelectric observations of close binary stars, AO Cam and AW Cam, were made during the 1984 observing season with the 61cm reflector at the Sobaeksan Observatory. One time of primary minimum for AO Cam and three primary epochs for AW Cam were derived from the observations of these two systems. Times of minimum light of these two binaries collected from literature were analyzed with a least square fitting method. New improved light elements for AO Cam and AW Cam were determined. The orbital period of AO Cam had been constant from Octobar, 1980 (JD 244520) to February, 1985 (JD 2446107). However, one secondary time of minimum (JD 2447864.7879) of AO Cam published recently by Mullis and Faulkner(1991) shows large deviation of about 4.6 minutes ($0^d.0032$) from the one predicted by our new light elements. Future observations of times of minima for this system are needed to test this period change. The orbital period of AW Cam has been constant as P=$0^d.77134645$ for about sixty years from the early 1930's to the present.

The Korean optimal nuclear fuel cycle strategy from the year 2000 to 2030 is derived using linear programming. The fuel cycle cost, the cost uncertainty, and the natural uranium consumption are used as the criteria for the optimization. These objectives are compromised by fuzzy decision-making technique which maximizes the minimum degree of satisfaction among the three objectives. The options for the back-end fuel cycle are direct disposal, reprocessing, and DUPIC. The optimal fuel cycle strategy of Korea is to start reprocessing in around 2010 and increase its capacity with the maximum of 800 tHM in around 2025, and to star DUPIC processing in 2025. The cot uncertainty and the natural uranium consumption of the optimal fuel cycle strategy are reduced by 7.1％ and 6.1％, respectively, at the cost penalty of 5.4％ compared with the cost-only optimal solution.

Recently, an extended warranty of a system following the expiration of the basic warranty is becoming increasingly popular to the user. In this respect, we suggest a two stage maintenance policy under the non-renewing warranty from the user's point of view in this paper. In the first stage, the user has to decide whether or not to purchase the extended warranty period. And, in the second stage, the optimal replacement period following the expiration of the warranty is determined. Under the extended warranty, the failed system is minimally repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to the user. We utilize the expected cost from the user's perspective to determine the optimal two stage maintenance policy. Finally, a few numerical examples are given for illustrative purpose.

토마토 잎에 집적된 triflumizole 잔류량 동태에 미치는 온도 영향과 Cladosporium fulvum에 대한 triflumizole의 살균효과를 구명하였다. 8주간 키운 토마토 식물체에 triflumizole을 분무 살포한 후 식물생장용 항온실에서 키우면서 4가지 온도 조건을 처리하였다. 주기적으로 토마토 잎을 채취하여 HPLC 방법을 이용하여 triflumizole의 잔류량을 조사하였다. Triflumizole 잔류량의 경시적 동태는 약제살포후 적산온도를 독립변수로 사용하는 지수적 감소 몸형으로 나타낼수 있었으며, 이는 triflumizole의 잔류성이 온도 영향을 크게 받는다는 것을 뜻한다. 경기도 농촌진흥원에 위치한 토마토 비닐하우스에서 수행한 실험에서 얻은 자료를 이용하여 평가한 결과 이 모형의 타당성이 인정되었다. Triflumizole의 약효에 대한 in vitro 실험 결과, 이 살균제는 C. fulvum의 균사 생장과 포자형성을 뚜렷이 억제하였으며, 잎곰팡이병 방제를 위해서는 토마토 잎에 집적된 triflumizole 잔류량이 최소한 10 ppm 이상이 되어야 할 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구에서 연구된 지수적 감소 모형은 토마토 잎에 집적된 triflumizole 잔류량을 추정하는데 활용될 수 있으며, 실용적인 측면에서 볼 때, 토마토 잎곰팡이병을 효과적으로 방제하는데 필요한 triflumizole의 최소 잔류량을 식물체에 유지하기 위하여 triflumizole을 살포해야 할 시기를 결정하는데 활용될 수 있다.

본 논문의 목적은 링크통행시간 자료를 수집하는 시스템에서 소요 프로브차량대수에 영향을 주는 요소들을 규명하고. 최적의 소요 프로브차량대수를 결정하는 모형을 개발하는데 있다. 자가용승용차, 택시, 버스, 택배차량 등 여러 종류의 차량들이 프로브차량으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 일정한 정확도 이상의 교통정보를 수집하기 위해서 얼마나 많은 프로브차량이 필요한지에 대한 연구는 그다지 깊이 있게 이루어지지 않았다. 적정 소요 프로브차량대수는 링크통행시간 자료수집 기술 수집대상 링크의 공간적 범위, 프로브차량의 종류 및 운행 특성, 자료수집 시스템의 신뢰도, 수집되는 자료의 정확도 등에 영향을 받게 된다. 소요 프로브차량대수를 결정하는 링크당 평균 통행시간 자료수, 프로브차량 밀도의 최소 확률, 그리고 자료 미수집링크의 허용비율의 3가지 결정기준이 정의되었다. 또한 이러한 결정기준에 대해 소요 프로브차량대수를 산출하는 모형이 개발되었다. 일반적으로 주기당, 링크당 평균 필요 통행시간 자료수$(d_R)$, 단위길이당 프로브차량의 대수 또는 밀도$(n_{min} or {\alpha})$, 일정 프로브차량밀도 이상의 확률($\beta$), 그리고 자료 미수집링크의 비율($\gamma$)이 클수록 소요 프로브차량대수는 증가한다. 민간 교통정보회사의 통행시간 수집시스템에서 소요 프로브차량대수를 산정하는 사례연구가 수행되었으며, 여러가지 조건에서 소요 프로브차량대수가 산출되었다.

A pulse radar signal is characterized by periodic pulses and noise components between them. In this Letter, we present a test statistic for detecting the presence of a pulse radar which exploits the inherent characteristics of a pulse radar signal by the ratio of maximum power to minimum power from the received signal and compares its sensing performance with that of the energy detector by computer simulation in a variety of situations.

본 연구 축전 결합형 고주파 플라즈마(CCP) 식각장비에 펄스 직류(Pulse DC) 전원을 인가하여 오실로스코프(oscilloscope)를 분석하여 전기적 특성을 평가하는 것이다. 펄스 직류전원 플라즈마 시스템에서는 다양한 변수를 이해하여야 한다. 본 실험에서 사용한 공정 변수는 Pulsed DC Voltage 300~500 V, Pulsed DC reverse time $0.5{\sim}2.0{\mu}s$, Pulsed DC Frequency 100~250 kHz 이었다. 실험 결과를 정리하면 1) Pulsed DC Voltage 가 증가할수록 Input voltage의 최대값은 336~520 V, 최소값은 -544~-920 V로 변하여 피크 투 피크 (peak to peak)값은 880~1460 V로 증가였다. Input current 또한 최대값은 1.88~2.88 A, 최소값은 -0.84~-1.28 A로 변하여 피크 투피크 값은 2.88~4.24 A로 증가하였다. 이는 척에 인가되는 전류와 파워의 증가를 의미한다. 2) Pulsed DC reverse time이 증가하면 Input voltage와 Input current값이 증가했다 (Input voltage의 피크 투 피크 값은 1200~1440 V, Input current의 피크 투 피크 값은 3.56~4.56 A). 3) Pulsed DC frequency가 증가하면 주기가 짧아져 Input voltage와 Input current값이 증가 한다 (Input voltage의 피크 투 피크 값은 900~1320 V, Input current의 피크 투 피크 값은 2.36~3.64 A). 결론적으로 펄스 직류 플라즈마의 다양한 전기적 변수들은 반응기 내부에 인가되는 Input voltage와 Input current의 값에 큰 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
