We investigated how useful video tags were in summarizing video speech and how valuable positional information was for speech summarization. Furthermore, we examined the similarity among sentences selected for a speech summary to reduce its redundancy. Based on such analysis results, we then designed and evaluated a method for automatically summarizing speech transcripts using a modified Maximum Marginal Relevance model. This model did not only reduce redundancy but it also enabled the use of social tags, title words, and sentence positional information. Finally, we compared the proposed method to the Extractor system in which key sentences of a video speech were chosen using the frequency and location information of speech content words. Results showed that the precision and recall rates of the proposed method were higher than those of the Extractor system, although there was no significant difference in the recall rates.

Even though the variable pitch control of a wind turbine blade is known as an effective component for power control over the rated wind speed, it has limited applicability to small wind turbines because of its relatively high cost on the price of small wind turbine. Instead, stall control is generally applied in the blade design without any additional cost. However, stall delay can frequently be caused by high turbulence around the turbine blade, and it can produce control failures through excessive rotational speed and overpowering the electrical generator. Therefore, a passive pitch control module should be considered, where the pitch moves with the aerodynamic forces of the blade and returns by the elastic restoring force. In this study, a method to calculate the pitch moment, torque, and thrust based on the lift and drag of the rotating blade wing was demonstrated, and several effective wing shapes were reviewed based on these forces. Their characteristics will be estimated with variable wind speed and be utilized as basic data for the design of the passive pitch control module.

The major drawback to the Code Excited Linear Prediction(CELP) type vocoders is their large computational requirements. In this paper, a simple method is proposed to reduce the pitch searching time in the pitch filter almost without degradation of quality. Bease upon the observational regularity of the correlation function of speech, the searching range can be restricted to the positive side in pitch search. This is done by skipping the negative side with the width which is estimated from the previous positive envelope. In addition to that, the maximum number of available lags can be limited by the threshold, $L_T$, which is set on 58 empirically. So, only the limited numbers of lags are considered in pitch search, which is less than a half of that of the full search method. By using the proposed method in pitch search, its required computations are greatly reduced. Experimental result shows 51% time reduction almost without lowering the speech quality in segmental SNR measure.

As recent information communication technology is rapidly developed, a lot of researches related to speech signal processing have been processed. So pitch period is applied as important factor to many application fields such as speech recognition, speaker identification, speech analysis and synthesis. Therefore, many algorithms related to pitch detection have been proposed in time domain and frequency domain and AMDF(average magnitude difference function) which is one of pitch detection algorithms in time domain chooses time interval from valley to valley as pitch period. But, in selection of valley point to detect pitch period, complexity of the algorithm is increased. So in this paper we proposed pitch detection algorithm using rotation transform of AMDF, that taking the global minimum valley point as pitch period and established a threshold about the phoneme in beginning portion, to exclude pitch period selection. and compared existing methods with proposed method through simulation.

The goal of this study is to examine the impact of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and attributional disposition on communication apprehension in college students. The research problems were verified by correlation analysis and multivariate regression analysis. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 239 college students. The findings are as follows: First, the higher level group in the self-esteem and self-efficacy have lower communication apprehension scores than the lower level group. Particularly, it is found that self-confidence in self-efficacy variables has the greatest effect on communication apprehension. Second, college students with high internal attributional disposition tend to feel less communication apprehension, while college students with high other's attributional disposition and accidental attributional disposition tend to have higher communication apprehension. Third, as a result of examining the relative effects of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and attributional disposition on communication apprehension, self-efficacy is found to have the greatest effect.

본 논문에서는 음성합성기에서 합성음의 자연성을 향상시키기 위한 한 방법으로 운 율 제어요소중 세기 제어 모델을 통계적인 방법을 이용하여 제안하였다. 세기 제어 모델을 구성하기 위하여, 음성의 세기는 피치에 비례한다는 사실에 기반하여, 녹음된 음성 데이터에 서 음절의 각 모음에 대한 평균파워와 평균피치를 구하고, 피치를 종속변수로 하는 모음의 세기 예측식을 만들었다. 예측식에 의하여 얻어진 세기값과 실제 측정된 세기값과의 상관도 는 전체모음에 대하여 약 0.63으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 예측 세기와 실제 세기와의 상 관도를 향상시키기 위하여 피치만을 고려하여 예측된 세기값을 음운환경을 고려하여 선형 오차를 보정하는 방법을 제안하였고, 이 방법을 이용하여 얻어진 세기값은 전체모음에 대하 여 실제 세기값과 0.71의 상관도로 향상시킬 수 있었다.
