Rainfall is a phenomenon that shows a high variability both in space and time, Hy drologists are usually interested in the description of spatial distribution of rainfall over watershed. The theory of Kriging, generalized covariance technique using nonstationary mean in the regions under orographic effect, was chosen to construct random surface of total storm depth. For the constructed random surface, the double Fourier analysis of the total storm depths was performed, and the principal harmonics of storm were determined. The local component, or storm residuals was obtained by subtracting the periodic component of the storm from total storm depths. It is assumed that the residuals are a sample function of a homogeneous random field. This random field can be characterized by an isotropic one dimensional autocorrelation function or its corresponding spectral density function. Under this assumption, this study proposed a theorectical model for spectral density function adapted to two watersheds.

Collecting statistics from client requests, the broadcast server partitions data items into hot and cold-item sets with the optimal cut-off point. Hot items are broadcast periodically with periods based on their access probabilities. In a time slot with no hot items scheduled, the server broadcasts a proper cold item considering the waiting time and the number of outstanding requests. We analyze the optimal the cut-off point by calculating average response time as a function of the cut-off point. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms existing methods in various circumstances.

In this paper, we found that buffer cache in general systems does not perform well in rendering software, and presented a new buffer cache management scheme that resolves this problem. To do so, we collected various file I/O traces of rending software and analyzed their characteristics. From this analysis, we observed that file I/Os in rendering consist of long loops, short loops, random accesses, and write-once accesses. Based on this observation, we presented a buffer cache management scheme that allocates cache space to each access types and manages them appropriately, thereby improving the buffer cache performances by 19% on average and up to 55%.

We examined the characteristics of temperature variation in Seoul between 1961 to 2008 using the spectral heteroscedastic model. The mean function in the propsed model explains the season effect using periodic functions and the overall increase using the quadratic regression spline. The variance function also had periodic functions to explain the seasonality of variance. We found that there has been annual mean temperature increase by about $1.5^{\circ}C$ for the last 48 years. The increase of annual mean temperature was mainly caused by the increase in winter, which made the amplitude decreased.

Direct numerical simulations were performed to analyze the effects of time-periodical blowing through a spanwise slot on a turbulent boundary layer. The blowing velocity was varied in a cyclic manner from 0 to 2A$^{+}$(A$^{+}$ =0.25, 0.50 and 1.00) at a fixed blowing frequency of f$^{+}$=0.017. The effect of steady blowing (SB) was also examined, and the SB results were compared with those for periodic blowing (PB). PB reduced the skin friction near the slot, although to a slightly lesser extent than SB. PB was found to generate a spanwise vortical structure in the downstream of the slot. This vortex generates a reverse flow near the wall, thereby reducing the wall shear stress. The wall-normal and spanwise turbulence intensities under PB are increased as compared to those under SB, whereas the streamwise turbulent intensity under PB is weaker than that under SB. PB enhances more energy redistribution than SB. The periodic response of the streamwise turbulence intensity to PB is propagated to a lesser extent than that of the other components of the turbulence intensities and the Reynolds shear stress.

This paper presents a voice conversion technique that modifies the utterance of a source speaker as if it were spoken by a target speaker. Feature parameter conversion methods to perform the transformation of vocal tract and prosodic characteristics between the source and target speakers are described. The transformation of vocal tract characteristics is achieved by modifying the LPC cepstral coefficients using Linear Multivariate Regression (LMR). Prosodic transformation is done by changing the average pitch period between speakers, and it is applied to the residual signal using the LP-PSOLA scheme. Experimental results show that transformed speech by LMR and LP-PSOLA synthesis method contains much characteristics of the target speaker.

A reactor vibration monitoring has been performed using neutron noise obtained from excore detectors for the safety operation, Traditionally, the spectral estimator based on Fourier analysis has been widely used in the noise analysis of the reactor system. If the bias is too severe, the resolution would not be adequate for a given application. One major motivation for the current interests in the parametric approach to spectral estimation is the apparent higher resolution achievable with these modern techniques. In considering an unbias, a consistency, an efficency, and a minimum lower bound of the statictic estimation, an AR model is appropriate for noise spectral estimation with sharp peaks but not deep valley. In order to select an appropriate model order, the lag value of autocorrleaton function is applied. Burg method to trace the vibration mode of RPV internal is the most sucuessful.

It is recognized that one of the problems for the current 'Traffic Adaptive Control System in Seoul' is the performance at the oversaturated condition. Instead of 'Degree of Saturation' adopted in the current system, the methodology of balancing the queue length was developed and evaluated in this study. This method keeps the balance of queue lengths on the intersections and reduces the overall queue lengths. In addition a traffic signal control model was developed based on the method. This model can reduce not only the queue lengths but also the average delay of vehicles according to the macroscopic and microscopic evaluations.

지난 30여년 동안 급속한 경제 성장과 생활 양식의 변화는 우리 사회에 많은 변화를 초래하였고 한국인의 질병 양상에도 많은 영향을 주었다. 동물성 식품과 지방질 섭취의 증가, 신체활동 감소,노령인구 증가, 생활양식의 서구화 및 도시화 등은 한국인에서 만성질환의 발생과 이환을 증가시키고 있다. 통계청의 2001년 사망원인통계를 보면 1위가 암, 2위가 뇌혈관 질환, 3위가 심장질환, 4위가 당뇨병, 5위가 간질환으로 모두 잘못된 생활습관으로 인한 만성질환이다. 이중에서도 당뇨병은 지난 1991년 이후 암 다음으로 많이 증가한 질병으로 인구 10만명 당 23.8명이 당뇨병으로 사망했으며 하루 평균 당뇨병으로 31명이 사망한다. 2002년 4월, 대한당뇨병학회의 "한국인의 당뇨병 발생 현황 보고"에 따르면 우리나라 성인의 당뇨병 유병률은 10%선으로 최소 3백만명에서 최대 5백만명 정도가 당뇨병을 앓고있다. 우리나라는 식생활의 서구화, 고령화 등으로 당뇨병 환자가 급증하고 있어 생활 양식의 개선이 이루어지지 않을 경우 앞으로 10년 안에 전체 국민의 1/4정도인 1천2백만명 가량이 당뇨병으로 고통을 받게 될 것이라 한다. 당뇨병은 당뇨뿐만 아니라 그에 따른 만성 합병증이 매우 무서운 병으로 일단 발병하면 적극적인 치료에도 불구하고 정상으로 회복되기 어렵다. 따라서 합병증의 효과적인 예방을 위해서는 특별한 임상 증상이 없더라도 당뇨병을 처음 진단 받은 날부터 주기적인 검진을 통하여 조기에 발견해 낼수 있도록 노력하여야 한다. 이와 더불어 주기적인 혈액 검사와 주치의 면담을 통하여 정상 혈당을 유지할 수 있는 혈당 조절 방법과 함께 만성 합병증을 예방할 수 있는 생활 습관 개선(금연, 금주,표준체중 유지,규칙적 운동,정상 혈압 유지,정상 혈중 지질 유지등)을 반드시 실천하여야 한다.

국내기술로 개발된 고기동 위성이 해상도 70cm급 광학카메라를 탑재하고 태양동기궤도를 따라 지구 주위를 하루에 14바퀴이상 돌면서 임무를 수행한다. 높은 해상도의 영상을 얻기 위해 자세제어계에서는 고성능 별추적기와 자이로를 사용하는 정밀자세결정 로직과 반작용 휠을 사용하는 자세제어 로직을 운용한다. 자세제어계에서는, 발사환경 및 우주환경의 영향으로 인한 자이로의 오정렬, SF오차, 별추적기 상호간 오정렬에 대한 상대보정과 탑재컴퓨터에서 결정한 궤도 및 자세정보와 영상 기준점 정보를 이용하여 절대보정을 수행한다. 한편, 탑재 알고리즘에서는 강건한 자세결정로직을 운용하고 있고, 별추적기의 측정지연 보상, 처리 주기내의 평균 각속도 사용 등 실시간 운용으로 인한 제한으로 성능상의 제약이 있다. 따라서 정밀자세결정 지상 후처리 작업이 필요하며 이를 위해서 기 개발된 지상처리용 정밀자세결정 소프트웨어를 새로운 접속요구규격에 맞춰 업그레이드하였다. 지상처리 정밀자세결정을 위해서 탑재컴퓨터는 영상촬영 전후 일정기간 동안 별추적기 데이터, 자이로 데이터, 탑재컴퓨터에서 결정한 자세정보 등을 매 탑재컴퓨터 처리 주기로 저장하여 지상으로 전송한다. 전송된 자료를 이용하여 지상처리용 정밀자세결정 소프트웨어는 정밀궤도 정보와 결합하여 정밀자세결정을 수행한다. 고기동 위성의 경우 기동 후 정밀자세결정 수렴 속도 향상이 필요하며, 소프트웨어의 필터 파라미터를 조율하여 성능을 향상하였다.
