In this paper, we propose a modulation scheme for a network-coded bi-directional relaying (NBR) system over an asymmetric channel, which means that the qualities of the relay channel (the link between the BS and RS) and access channel (the link between the RS and MS) are not identical. The proposed scheme employs a dual constellation in such a way that the RS broadcasts the network-coded symbols modulated by two different constellations to the MS and BS over two consecutive transmission intervals. We derive an upper bound on the average bit error rate (BER) of the proposed scheme, and compare it with the hybrid constellation-based modulation scheme proposed for the asymmetric bi-directional link. Furthermore, we investigate the channel utilization of the existing bi-directional relaying schemes as well as the NBR system with the proposed dual constellation diversity-based modulation (DCD). From our simulation results, we show that the DCD gives better average BER performance about 3.5~4dB when $E_b/N_0$ is equal to $10^{-2}$, while maintaining the same spectral efficiency as the existing NBR schemes over the asymmetric bi-directional relaying channel.

In this paper, a design of a GaN HEMT power amplifier using output matching circuit with arbitrary harmonic impedances is presented. The adopted GaN HEMT device, TGF2023-02 of TriQuint Semiconductor, was packaged in commercial package. The optimal impedances of the GaN HEMT package are extracted from load-pull simulation at package input and output reference planes. The targets of load-pull simulation are the highest output power at fundamental frequency and the highest efficiency at $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ harmonic frequencies. Because of fixture in the package, the extracted impedances shows arbitrary harmonic impedances. In order to match the optimal impedances, output matchin circuit which has 4 transmission lines is presented. Characteristic impedances and electrical lengths of the transmission lines are mathmatically calculated. The power amplfiier with $54.6{\times}40mm^2$ shows the output power of 8 W at the fundamental frequency of 2.5 GHz, the efficiency above 55 %, and harmonic suppression of above 35 dBc at the $2^{nd}$ and the $3^{rd}$ harmonics.

Accurate prediction of future settlement is essential for the settlement control of soft soil by pre-loading method. To predict future settlement in clayey soft soils, several methods like Asaoka method, Hyperbolic Method and Hoshino method are currently being used. These methods predict the future sett1ement by mathmatical treatment of the measured settlement data on the basis of consolidtion theory and empiricism. But the correlation coefficient between the measured and the predicted settlement was relatively low (0.8~0.9). Also, the prediction of future settlemet for the design load is very difficult. In this article, the measured field settlement data was treated as the the field consolidation test. Hence, condolidation coefficient(Cv) and compression index(Cc) was evaluated from the field settlement data. Cv and Cc values from field data was used to calculate the degree of consolidation and settlement at desired time. By this method, the correlation coefficent between the measured and the predicted settlement was significantly increased(0.97~0.99). Also the settlement by the design load after the improvement of soft soil could be predicted reasonably. This method is quite rational and sound but it requires thousands of calculation steps. Today, by the aid of low priced personal computers above mentioned technique could be used much acre economically and effectively than conventional methods. This article presented the mechanisms and capacities of this method and demonstrated the enhanced correlation coefficient when applied to actual field settlement data.

Influences of seasonal warming and cooling rates on the annual temperature patterns were analyzed based on the meteorological data from 13 weather stations in Busan Metropolitan Area(BMA), Korea during 1997~2014. BMA daily temperature time-series was generalized by Fourier analysis, which mathematically summarizes complex, regularly sampled periodic records, such as air temperature, into a limited number of major wave components. Local monthly warming and cooling rates of BMA were strongly governed by the ocean effect within the city. March($1.121^{\circ}C/month$) and November(-$1.564^{\circ}C/month$) were the two months, when the most rapid warming and cooling rates were observed, respectively during the study period. Geographically, spring warming rates of inland increased more rapidly compared to coastal areas due to weaker ocean effect. As a result, the annual maximum temperature was reached earlier in a location, where the annual temperature range was larger, and therefore its July mean temperature and continentality were higher. Interannual analyses based on average temperature data of all weather stations also showed that the annual maximum temperature tended to occur earlier as the city's July mean temperature increased. Percent area of impervious surfaces, an indicator of urbanization, was another contributor to temperature change rates of the city. Annual mean temperature was positively correlated with percent area of impervious surfaces, and the variations of monthly warming and cooling rates also increased with percent area of impervious surfaces.

A three-dimensional (3-D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of solid and hollow hemispherical shells of revolution of arbitrary wall thickness having arbitrary constraints on their boundaries. Unlike conventional shell theories, which are mathematically two-dimensional (2-D), the present method is based upon the 3-D dynamic equations of elasticity. Displacement components μ/sub Φ/, μ/sub z/, and μ/sub θ/ in the meridional, normal, and circumferential directions, respectively, are taken to be sinusoidal in time, periodic in θ, and algebraic polynomials in the Φ and z directions. Potential (strain) and kinetic energies of the hemispherical shells are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies obtained by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Novel numerical results are presented for solid and hollow hemispheres with linear thickness variation. The effect on frequencies of a small axial conical hole is also discussed. Comparisons are made for the frequencies of completely free, thick hemispherical shells with uniform thickness from the present 3-D Ritz solutions and other 3-D finite element ones.

Among various kinds of hearing aids which have been developed so far. the conventional air conduction hearing aids have some problems such as the acoustic distortion, an howling effect due to acoustic feedback. Another type of hearing aid. the cochlear implant system can be applied to the profound imparied person. However. it shows the disadvantage that there is no possibility of recovery of the acoustic organ such as ossicle. On the other hand. the implantable middle ear heaving device directly vibratos the ossicular chain and has better sound qualify. good cosmetics for appearance. and wide frequency responses so that it can overcome the defects or the conventional hearing aids. In this paper, a mathematical modeling and a momentum equation derivation of the DET has been performed. For the optimization of the structure dimension generating maximal vibrating force of the DET. the computer simulation using a finite element analysis (FEA) software has been performed. Also. the vibrating transducer has been designed to make the frequency characteristics or the transducer be similar to those of the normal middle ear. Through the experimental results, the measured vibration characteristics of the DET has been evaluated to verify the performance for the application to implantable middle ear hearing devices.

We applied gemological analytical approaches on Aquamarine from the Gilgit-Baltistan of Northern Areas, Pakistan. The standard gemological testing indicates that they are consistent with general characteristics of natural aquamarines. We have identified the inclusions of Tantalite-Mn by Raman analysis. It indicates that they occurs in association with the veins of Be-rich coarse pegmatite. And the results of chemical analyses, infrared absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicate that $H_2O$ molecules in channel mostly exist in Type-I and a little Type-II with low alkali ion. The comparison of relative peak intensity of FT-IR analysis can be used for prediction of $Na_2O$ content within not only emerald but also aquamarine.

Recently in the fields o f stochastic optimal control ( SOC) and reinforcemnet l earning (RL), there have been a great deal of research efforts for the problem of finding data-based sub-optimal control policies. The conventional theory for finding optimal controllers via the value-function-based dynamic programming was established for solving the stochastic optimal control problems with solid theoretical background. However, they can be successfully applied only to extremely simple cases. Hence, the data-based modern approach, which tries to find sub-optimal solutions utilizing relevant data such as the state-transition and reward signals instead of rigorous mathematical analyses, is particularly attractive to practical applications. In this paper, we consider a couple of methods combining the modern SOC strategies and approximate inference together with machine-learning-based data treatment methods. Also, we apply the resultant methods to a variety of application domains including financial engineering, and observe their performance.

In this paper we are trying to explain the effect of temperature on polymer membrane exchange water electrolysis (PEMWE) and polymer membrane exchange fuel cell (PEMFC) simultaneously. A comprehensive studying approach is proposed and applied to a 50Watt PEM fuel cell system in the laboratory. The monitoring process is carried out through wireless LoRa node and gateway network concept. In this experiment, temperature sensor measure the temperature level of electrolyzer, fuel cell stack and $H_2$ storage tank and transmitted the measured value of data to the management control unit (MCU) through the individual node and gateway of each PEMWE and PEMFC. In MCU we can monitor the temperature and its effect on the performance of the fuel cell system and control it to keep the lower heating value to increase the efficiency of the fuel cell system. And we also proposed a mathematical model and operation algorithm for PEMWE and PEMFC. In this model, PEMWE gives higher efficiency at lower heating level where as PEMFC gives higher efficiency at higher heating value. In order to increase the performance of the fuel cell system, we are going to monitor, communicate and control the temperature and pressure of PEMWE and PEMFC by installing these systems in a building of university which is located in the southern part of Korea.

스마트팜 내부의 3차원 공간의 온도, 습도, 기압, 공기질 분석을 통한 돈사 미세 조절 기술에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 해당 특성 중에서 기압을 제외한 환경인자들은 돈사 내의 구조 특성상 위치별로, 시간별로 매우 상이한 변이의 형태를 보인다. 일정 시점을 기준으로 계측 지점 이외의 지점에 대한 환경인자들을 공간적으로 추정하는 기술은 대표적으로 컴퓨터 분석 기술에 의존하고 있다. 시간 복잡도가 매우 높은 CFD(Computer Fluid Dynamics) 방식은 정밀도 측면에서 유리하나, 상응하는 제어 기술/하드웨어 등의 부재로 모델링 결과의 활용도가 낮다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CFD를 수행하는 과정에 있어 실질적으로 유효한 단위로 공간 분해능을 낮추고, 동등한 크기의 세부 공간에 대한 모델링을 병렬적으로 수행하기 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 실험적으로 돈사 환경을 3차원으로 구성하기 위하여, 공기 흡입구, 배출구, 기둥, 덕트 요소를 포함시켰다. 실내 공간을 1차적으로 가로, 세로, 높이방향으로 $3{\times}3{\times}3$ 균등 분배한 후 3차원 행렬로 분할하였다. 각 분할된 행렬에 대한 연산 수행을 위하여 현재까지 대중에 공개된 SBC(Single Board Computer) 중 가장 높은 연산 수행 능력이 있는 Odroid-XU4(Hardkernel, AnYang, Korea) 16식을 병렬 클러스터링 기술로 연동하였다. 하나의 AP당 8개의 코어가 내장되어 있으므로, 총 128개의 코어를 이용하여 동시에 128개의 3D 정방행렬 연산이 가능하도록 구성하였다. 모델링을 위한 수학적 모델로는 실험적으로 Steady turbulent model (Newtonian coefficient)을 이용하였다. 클러스터링을 이용한 병렬 처리의 특성상 균등한 정보량을 동시에 배분해야 하므로 108 ($27{\times}4$)개의 코어를 이용하여 1차적으로 나뉜 공간을 다시 4등분하여 동시에 $12{\times}12{\times}12$에 해당하는 공간 분해능에 대한 처리를 동시에 수행할 수 있도록 하였다. 2단계에 걸쳐 분할한 공간 세그먼트에 대한 클러스터링 연산 수행 결과 초당 15회 정도의 연산을 수행할 수 있었으며, 시간 분해능을 100으로 설정한 경우 약 5초가 수행되었다. 선행적으로 수행하였던 CFD 모델링 (OpenFOAM)과 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 정밀도가 낮은 3차원 모델링 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 모델링에 소요되는 시간을 비약적으로 경감 시킨 장점을 살려 적정한 공간 분할 기법과 추가로 발생하는 다수의 바운더리 조건을 근사적으로 추정할 수 있는 데이터 마이닝 기술이 보완되어야 할 것이다.
