The purpose of this study is to verify availability of the acoustic emission in-situ monitoring method to the internal leak and operating conditions of the major valves at nuclear power plants. In this study, acoustic emission tests are performed when the pressurized temperature water and steam flowed through glove valve(main steam dump valve) and check valve(main steam outlet pump check valve) on the normal size of 12 and 18". The valve internal leak monitoring system for practical field was designed. The acoustic emission method was applied to the valves at the site, and the background noise was measured for the abnormal plant condition. To improve the reliability, a judgment of leak on the system was used various factors which are AE parameters, trend analysis, frequency analysis, voltage analysis and amplitude analysis of acoustic signal emitted from the valve operating condition internal leak.

This paper describes a novel end-to-end deep generative model-based speaker recognition system using prosodic features. The usefulness of variational autoencoders (VAE) in learning the speaker-specific prosody representations for the speaker recognition task is examined herein for the first time. The speech signal is first automatically segmented into syllable-like units using vowel onset points (VOP) and energy valleys. Prosodic features, such as the dynamics of duration, energy, and fundamental frequency (F₀), are then extracted at the syllable level and used to train/adapt a speaker-dependent VAE from a universal VAE. The initial comparative studies on VAEs and traditional autoencoders (AE) suggest that the former can efficiently learn speaker representations. Investigations on the impact of gender information in speaker recognition also point out that gender-dependent impostor banks lead to higher accuracies. Finally, the evaluation on the NIST SRE 2010 dataset demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed approach for speaker recognition.

시료 에어로졸에 의한 광산란 신호를 이용하여 ICP 분석신호를 보정하였다. 자체 제작한 초음파 분무기에서 발생되는 에어로졸에 대하여 다이오드나 He-Ne 레이저를 사용하여 광산란신호를 얻고 이를 기준으로 하여 분석신호의 변동에 대하여 보정하였다. 그 결과 Be, Pb 및 Co의 경우에 short-term (1분 이하)에 대한 신호의 RSD가 기존의 평균 3.4% 에서 0.9% RSD 이하로 큰 개선이 되었으며, 10분 정도의 long-term안정도는 14.9%에서 4.2%로 개선되었다. 이 방법은 펄스형태의 시료도입뿐 아니라 연속적 분무에서도 분무기의 안정성이 부족한 경우, 정밀도의 개선에 매우 유용하다. Long-term의 안정도 개선을 위해서는 광산란셀에서의 안정도 및 검출기의 잡음개선과 분무장치와 플라즈마 사이에서의 에어로졸 응축등에 의한 잡음의 개선이 필요한 것으로 보인다.

The conventional peptide modification process of guanidination, in which the amino groups of lysine residues are converted to guanidino groups using O-methylisourea to create more basic homoarginine residues, is often used to improve the signal intensity of lysine-containing peptides in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Here, we used three different protease enzymes (trypsin, Lys-C, and Glu-C) to evaluate the effects of guanidination on the MS signals of two enzymatically digested proteins. Horse heart myoglobin and bovine serum albumin were guanidinated either before or after digestion with trypsin, Lys-C, or Glu-C. The resulting peptides were subjected to MALDI-MS, and signal intensities and sequence coverage were systematically evaluated for each digest. Guanidination prior to Glu-C digestion improved sequence coverage for both proteins. For myoglobin, guanidination before enzymatic digestion with trypsin or Lys-C also enhanced sequence coverage, but guanidination after enzymatic digestion enhanced sequence coverage only with Lys-C. For albumin, guanidination either before or after Glu-C digestion increased sequence coverage, whereas pre- or post-digestion guanidination decreased sequence coverage with trypsin and Lys-C. The amino acid composition of a protein appears to be the major factor determining whether guanidination will enhance its MALDI-MS sequence coverage.

본 연구에서는 식물에 나타나는 다양한 환경변화를 고려하여, 식물의 상태를 비파괴적인 방법으로 검토하여 식물생장을 제어하기 위한 기초적인 실험을 실시하였다. 건조토양에서 겉씨식물과 속씨식뭍은 물관부에서 발생하는 케비테이션 신호만 검출되었다 증류수를 공급한 직후는 물관부의 강한 신호와 원형질 연락사 및 세포만의 약한 신호가 동시에 검출되었다. 그러나 강산성수를 공급한 경우는 증류수를 공급한 경우와 상반되는 신호가 검출되었다. 바람의 세기, 잎의 수, 음악, 기온 및 습도는 음향 신호 발생 수에는 영향을 끼쳤으나, 검출된 신호의 주파수 범위는 같았다.

Background: This study was aimed to identify the safety signals of metoclopramide in Korea Adverse Event Reporting System (KAERS) database by proportionality analysis methods. Methods: The study was conducted using Korea Institute of Drug Safety and Risk Management-Korea Adverse Event Reporting System Database (KIDS-KD) reported from January 2013 to December 2017 through KAERS. Signals of metoclopramide that satisfied the data-mining indices of proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component (IC) were defined. The detected signals were checked whether they included in drug labels in the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Micromedex^®. Results: A total number of drug AE reports associated with all drugs of data in this study was 2,665,429. Among them, the number of AE reports associated with metoclopramide was 22,583. Forty-two meaningful signals of metoclopramide were detected that satisfied with the criteria of data-mining indicies. Especially neurological signals including extrapyramidal reactions, represented in the safety letter of regulatory agencies were identified in this study. Conclusion: Neurological signals of metoclopramide including extrapyramidal reactions were detected. It is believed that this search for signals can contribute to ensuring safety in the use of metoclopramide.

The development of a new material which should be continuously usable under severe environment of very high temperature has been urgently requested. The conventional thermal barrier coating(TBC) is a two layer coating, but a composition and a microstructure of functionally graded material(FGM) are varied continuously from place to place in ways designed to provide it with the maximum function of mitigating the induced thermal stress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the heat-resistant characteristics by thermal shock of laser and furnace heating. The fracture behaviors of non-FGM(NFGM) and FGM were investigated based on acoustic emission(AE) technique during thermal shock test. Therefore, it can be concluded that FGM gives higher thermal resistance compared to NFGM by AE signal and fracture surface analysis.

Leak noise is a good source to identify the exact location of a leak point of underground water pipelines. Water leak generates broadband noise from a leak location and can be propagated to both directions of water pipes. However, the necessity of long-range detect ion of this leak location makes to identify low-frequency acoustic waves rather than high frequency ones. Acoustic wave propagation coupled with surrounding boundaries including cast iron pipes is theoretical analyzed and the wave velocity was confirmed with experiment The leak locations were identified both by the acoustic emission (AE) method and the cross-correlation method. In a short-range distance, both the AE method and cross-correlation method are effective to detect leak position. However, the detect ion for a long-range distance required a lower frequency range accelerometers only because higher frequency waves were attenuated very quickly with the increase of propagation paths. Two algorithms for the cross-correlation function were suggested and a long-range detection has been achieved at real underground water pipelines longer than 300m.

이 연구의 목적은 리시버의 움직임을 모사한 불빛자극의 이동속도와 농구 패스 유형에 따라 예측 타이밍 수행에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는데 있다. 실험을 위해 10명의 대학생에게 세 가지 이동속도를 무선으로 제시한 후 불빛자극이 목표지점에 도착하는 시점과 일치되게 체스트 패스와 바운드 패스를 수행하도록 하였다. 실험과제는 패스 유형별로 각 속도조건 당 4회씩 수행하여 총 24회가 무선으로 제시되었으며, 매 시행마다 항상오차, 절대오차 그리고 가변오차를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 세 가지 시간오차는 가속조건일수록 크게 나타났으며 체스트패스가 바운드패스에 비해 타이밍의 정확성이 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과들을 통해 자극의 이동속도와 농구패스의 유형이 패스의 예측 타이밍 수행에 영향을 미치는 주요 변인임을 확인하였다.
