An experiment was conducted to study incidences of heat loss in greenhouse in Gyeongnam province using thermal imaging camera in order to determine ways minimizing greenhouse heat loss. Measurements of this work showed that temperature differences between two experiment zones before and after installation of thermal curtains were about $2.0{\sim}3.0^{\circ}C$ and $1.0{\sim}2.0^{\circ}C$ respectively. There was a high correlation between the temperature data measured using a thermal imaging camera and a temperature sensor. There was no serious difference among areas, but between places on the first and second floor with thermal curtains for heat insulation, there was a relatively larger heat loss on the first floor than the second floor. Then in general the greenhouse types had no particular bearing on this matter, there was a relatively large heat loss in the parts of side wall window, the gaps and the parts folded of horizontal thermal curtains, the gutter parts, and the gaps of thermal curtain in the side wall window and facade back side for heat insulation, aren't completely sealed. It was found that there was a substantial heat loss due to infiltration through cracks on covering material, doors, ventilating openings, roof gables and floors, in particular.

본 논문에서는 효과적인 고해상도 비디오 데이터의 처리를 위하여 부호화기 내에서 참조 영상을 저장하는 프레임 메모리를 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 프레임 메모리는 응용분야의 특성상 무손실 압축 및 저 복잡도를 갖는 방법이 요구되는데, 블록 단위의 PCT 를 이용하여 픽셀 사이의 상관도를 제거하고, 적응적 GR 부호기를 이용하여 최종 비트열을 구성하여 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 테스트 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과 제안하는 방법이 기존의 압축 방법에 비해 압축 성능이 우수하면서 실행 시간으로 측정한 복잡도 측면에서 유사한 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 압축 성능과 복잡도의 두가지 측면을 종합적으로 판단한 결과 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 충분히 경쟁력이 있음을 알 수 있다.

In the present study, the thermal performance of multiple rock caverns for large-scale thermal energy storage (TES) was numerically investigated for different separation distances between the caverns through heat transfer analysis using a computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT. The thermal performance of multiple caverns was assessed in terms of the thermal stratification within the caverns and the heat loss to the surroundings, and the heating characteristics of the rock around the caverns were investigated. The results of numerical simulation showed that there was little difference in thermal performance between multiple TES caverns with different separation distances when the surrounding rock was less heated and it reached thermal steady-state, which represent the thermal states of the surrounding rock at the early and long-term operational stages of the TES caverns, respectively. However, as the separation distance decreased, the rock between the caverns reached thermal steady-state more quickly, and thus the heat loss from the caverns tended to converge rapidly to the value of heat loss occurred under thermal steady-state conditions in the surrounding rock. This result implies that the operating cost of heating the surrounding rock (i.e., rock heating) can be reduced with a reduction in the separation distance between multiple caverns, and suggests that the separation distance should be determined by considering the operating cost of rock heating as well as the construction cost of the caverns.

The temperature distribution of an asymmetric trapezoidal fin with various upper lateral surface slopes is investigated by using the two-dimensional analytic method. For this asymmetric fin, convection from the inner fluid to the inner wall, conduction from the inner wall to the fin base and conduction through the fin base are considered simultaneously. The temperature profile with the variation of dimensionless fin length and height coordinates is shown. Also, the temperature variation at the bottom tip of the fin is presented as a function of the fin shape factor. Heat losses through the fin base and from each side are compared for variations in fin length. One of the results shows that temperature at the fin bottom tip decreases linearly as the fin shape factor increases.

In this paper, we adopt a missing data theory to speech recognition. It can be used in order to maintain high performance of speech recognizer when the missing data occurs. In general, hidden Markov model (HMM) is used as a stochastic classifier for speech recognition task. Acoustic events are represented by continuous probability density function in continuous density HMM(CDHMM). The missing data theory has an advantage that can be easily applicable to this CDHMM. A marginalization method is used for processing missing data because it has small complexity and is easy to apply to automatic speech recognition (ASR). Also, a spectral subtraction is used for detecting missing data. If the difference between the energy of speech and that of background noise is below given threshold value, we determine that missing has occurred. We propose a new method that examines the reliability of detected missing data using voicing probability. The voicing probability is used to find voiced frames. It is used to process the missing data in voiced region that has more redundant information than consonants. The experimental results showed that our method improves performance than baseline system that uses spectral subtraction method only. In 452 words isolated word recognition experiment, the proposed method using the voicing probability reduced the average word error rate by 12％ in a typical noise situation.

It is theoretically known that recuperator can bring a significant increase in thermal efficiency of the gas turbine unit, but it also has disadvantages such as pressure loss in the flow channel, thermal stress and increase in weight. Therefore it is necessary to consider all pros and cons of this equipment in view of economic aspects throughout its life cycle. Recuperator has been applied mostly in the power ranges of $20\sim300kW$ class industrial units but hasn't been used as a larger power generation unit except for naval applications in mid twentieth century. Present paper considered the applicability of a recuperator cycle in term of pressure loss, part load aspects for power generation purpose.

Flame structure and extinction mechanism of counterflow methane/air non-premixed flame diluted with nitrogen are studied by NASA 2.2 s drop tower experiments and two-dimensional numerical simulations with finite rate chemistry and transport properties. Extinction mechanism at low strain rate is examined through the comparison among results of microgravity experiment, 1D and 2D simulations with a finite burner diameter. A two-dimensional simulation in counterflow flame especially with a finite burner diameter is shown to be very important in explaining the importance of multidimensional effects and lateral heat loss in flame extinction, effects that cannot be understood using a one-dimensional flamelet model. Extinction mechanism at low strain rate is quite different from that at high strain rate. Low strain rate flame is extinguished initially at the outer flame edge, the flame shrinks inward, and finally is extinguished at the center. It is clarified from the overall fractional contribution by each term in energy equation to heat release rate that the contribution of radiation fraction with 1D and 2D simulations does not change so much and the overall fractional contribution is decisively attributed to radial conduction ('lateral heat loss'). The experiments by Maruta et at. can be only completely understood if multi-dimensional heat loss effects are considered. It is, as a result, verified that the turning point, which is caused only by pure radiation heat loss, has to be shifted towards much lower global strain rate in microgravity flame.

MPEG-2로 부호화된 비트열은 가변길이 부호화(variable length coding)방식을 사용하기 때문에 에러에 매우 민감하다. 망(network)을 통해 발생된 에러는 시간적, 공간적으로 전파되는 현상이 발생하기 때문에 고품질의 영상을 추구하는 MPEG-2 에서는 심각한 화질열화를 일으키게 한다. 이에 따른 에러 정정 및 은닉 기법이 MPEG-2 복호기 측에서 연구되어야 하는데, 기존의 제안된 에러은닉 기법들은 셀손실이나 비트에러를 기반으로 매크로 블록 주위의 데이터를 이용하였으나 MPEG-2 비트열의 구조상 슬라이스 단위에러에 대한 발생빈도가 더 자주 일어나고 에러에 대한 영향도 심각하다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 나와있는 에러은닉 기법과 달리 슬라이스 단위 에러발생 시 BMA(boundaruy matching algorithm)방식과 중간 값(median), 평균값(average)방식으로 구현한 에러은닉 기법을 통해 주관적 화질측면이나 수치적인 PSNR 실험 데이터로 좀 더 향상된 성능을 나타낼 수 있었다.

Hot embossing master is indispensable for the fabrication of polymeric optical waveguides using hot embossing technology. Sidewall roughness of silicon master is directly related to optical loss of optical waveguides In this paper, a silicon master was fabricated by using a deep-RIE process. Additionally, thermal oxidation followed by oxide removal was carried out to minimize etched Si sidewall roughness. Thermal oxidation and oxide removal were performed with $H_2O_2$ atmosphere at $1050^{\circ}C$ and $NH_4$F:HF=6:l BOE, respectively, for the oxide thickness of 400$\AA$, 1000$\AA$, 3000$\AA$, 4500$\AA$, 5600$\AA$ and 6200$\AA$. The sidewall roughness was characterized by SEM and SPM-AFH measurements. We found that the roughness was improved from 12nm (RMS) to 6nm (RMS) for the scalloped sidewall and from 162nm (RMS) to 39nm (RMS) for the vertical striation sidewall, respectively.
