음성구간을 검출하는 일반적인 방법은 음향신호로부터 특징값을 추출하여 판별식을 거치는 것이다. 그러나 잡음이 많은 환경에서 그 성능은 당연히 저하되며, 이 경우 영상신호를 이용하거나 영상과 음성을 동시에 사용함으로써 성능향상을 도모할 수 있다. 영상신호를 이용하여 음성구간을 검출하는 기존 방법들에서는 액티브 어피어런스 모델, 옵티컬 플로우, 밝기 변화 등 주로 하나의 특징값을 이용하고 있다. 그러나 음성구간의 참값은 음향신호에 의해 결정되므로 한 가지의 영상정보만으로는 음성구간을 검출하는데 한계를 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 입술 영역의 옵티컬 플로우와 밝기 변화 두 가지 영상정보로부터 특징값을 추출하고, 추출된 특징값들을 결합하여 음성구간을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 음성구간 검출 알고리즘이 다른 시스템의 전처리로 활용되는 경우에 적은 계산량만으로 수행되는 것이 바람직하므로, 통계적 모델링에 의한 방법보다는 추출된 특징값으로부터 간단한 대수적 연산만으로 스코어를 산정하여 문턱값과 비교하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 입술 영역 검출을 위해서는 얼굴에서 가장 두드러진 특징점을 갖는 눈을 먼저 검출한 후, 얼굴의 구조와 밝기값을 이용하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 두 가지 특징값을 결합한 음성구간 검출 알고리즘이 하나의 특징값만을 이용했을 때보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

The current study observes the durational interaction of tautosyllabic consonants and vowels in the word-initial position of English and Korean child-directed speech (CDS). The effect of phonological laryngeal contrasts in stops on the following vowel duration, and the effect of the intrinsic vowel duration on the release duration of preceding stops in addition to the acoustic realization of the contrastive segments are explored in different prosodic contexts - phrase-initial/medial, focal accented/non-focused - in a marked speech style of CDS. A trade-off relationship between Voice Onset Time (VOT), as consonant release duration, and voicing phonation time, as vowel duration, reported from adult-to-adult speech, and patterns of durational variability are investigated in CDS of two languages with different linguistic rhythms, under systematically controlled prosodic contexts. Speech data were collected from four native English mothers and four native Korean mothers who were talking to their one-word staged infants. In addition to the acoustic measurements, the transformed delta measure is employed as a variability index of individual tokens. Results confirm the durational correlation between prevocalic consonants and following vowels. The interaction is revealed in a compensatory pattern such as longer VOTs followed by shorter vowel durations in both languages. An asymmetry is found in CV interaction in that the effect of consonant on vowel duration is greater than the VOT differences induced by the vowel. Prosodic effects are found such that the acoustic difference is enhanced between the contrastive segments under focal accent, supporting the paradigmatic strengthening effect. Positional variation, however, does not show any systematic effects on the variations of the measured acoustic quantities. Overall vowel duration and syllable duration are longer in English tokens but involve less variability across the prosodic variations. The constancy of syllable duration, therefore, is not found to be more strongly sustained in Korean CDS. The stylistic variation is discussed in relation to the listener under linguistic development in CDS.

혐기성 소화공정은 하수슬러지의 안정화와 VS 감소 및 바이오가스 생산의 장점으로 인해 가장 일반적인 하수슬러지 처리공정이다. 혐기성 소화공정에서 하수슬러지의 분해속도가 느리기 때문에 가수분해 속도를 향상시키기 위한 많은 전처리 방법들이 연구되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 주로 초음파의 음향강도와 조사시간에 따른 하수슬러지의 초음파 분해에 대한 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 주로 초음파의 음향강도와 조사시간에 따른 하수슬러지의 초음파 분해에 대한 영향을 검토하였다. 실험은 초음파의 발진주파수를 40kHz로 하여 초음파 조사밀도를 각각 33W/L, 70W/L, 88W/L 및 139W/L로 변화시켜 조사하였고, 초음파 조사시간을 각각 10분, 20분, 25분, 30분, 그리고 40분으로 변화시켜 잉여슬러지와 혼합슬러지의 분해 정도를 평가하였다. 잉여슬러지와 혼합슬러지 분해에 대한 $SCOD_{Cr}/TCOD_{Cr}$비의 변화 비교에서 초음파 발진주파수가 40kHz일 때 초음파의 음향밀도가 증가할수록 그리고 조사시간이 길어질수록 $SCOD_{Cr}/TCOD_{Cr}$의 비가 증가함을 보였다. 초음파 전처리 후에 잉여슬러지와 혼합슬러지의 pH는 발진주파수 40kHz에서 음향밀도가 증가할수록 그리고 조사시간이 길어질수록 감소하였다.

The movement range and diurnal behavior of 17 wild black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) were monitored within the marine ranching area of Tongyeong from 27 July to 7 November, 2005 using acoustic telemetry. Coded transmitters were surgically implanted into the abdomen of fish. Two of ten fish released in summer moved about 2 km away from the capture point for 1 day. The others stayed within a 500-m radius of the release point for 1 week after release. The seven fish released in autumn stayed within 500 m of the release point. Most fish were more active and had a greater range of horizontal diurnal movement at night than during the day. Additionally, the range of horizontal diurnal variation was greater in summer than in autumn. While fish released in summer were more vertically active at night than during the day, those released in autumn preferred to move vertically during the day.

Matched Field Processing (MFP) is a successive process of correcting mismatches between true and assumed parameters by matching the measured acoustic field data with numerically simulated data which we call replica. The MFP is widely used both in geo-acoustic parameter inversions and in source localizations. Whether a certain parameter can be inverted effectively or whether a source can be localized correctly depends on the amount of the influence that a parameter has on the acoustic field during the matching process. Sensitive parameters can be better estimated than the less sensitive ones in MFP. On the contrary, the sensitive parameters affect adversely on the source localization results when they have uncertainties. In this paper, a sensitivity index is defined based upon the field variation resulting from the perturbed parameters. Numerical test results show that the index behaves in accordance with the results of source localization under a mismatched environment and also with the inversion solutions.

The performance of an acoustic transducer is determined by the effects of many design variables. and mostly the influences of these design variables are not linearly independent of each other To achieve the optimal performance of an acoustic transducer, we must consider the cross-coupled effects of the design variables. In this study with the FEM. we analyzed the variation of the resonance frequency and sound pressure of a flextensional transducer in relation to Its design variables. Through statistical multiple regression analysis of the results, we derived functional forms of the resonance frequency and sound pressure in terms of the design variables, and with which we determined the optimal structure of the transducer by means of a constrained optimization technique, SQP-PD. The proposed method can reflect all the cross-coupled effects of multiple design variables, and can be utilized to the design of general acoustic transducers.

In order to investigate low frequency swishing noise of wind turbines, singularity in circular motion with large radius is introduced as a noise source model. By employing Lowson's acoustic analogy, simple exact solution is obtained. The solution shows that time histories of acoustic pressure at receiver points varied significantly according to receiver's directional location, even when the retarded time distributions are similar. However, the corresponding spectra of sound pressure for the receiver locations where the retarded time distributions are almost the same are not significantly different. It can be inferred from these results that the time-averaged sound pressure spectra which cannot take into account the detailed difference in the time-variation of wind turbine noise may not represent the sound quality of wind turbines due to its swishing.

A leaky surface acoustic wave (LSAW) velocity was measured using a scanning acoustic microscope on the ceramic/metal interface in order to investigate material properties. The inverse Fourier transform (IFFT) of the V(z) curve contains the reflectance function of a liquid-specimen interface. So, the longitudinal, transverse, and Rayleigh wave velocities for each layer are obtained by the inversion of the V(z) curve at the same time. This paper contains mainly the experimental procedure for measurements of the LSAW velocity, and the results obtained for the velocity variation of individual layer after the thermal shock. It is shown that this method is useful in measuring the material properties under external stress.

The effect of field annealing on the velocity changes of magneto surface acoustic wave (MSAW) devices has been investigated for deposited $(Fe_{1-x}Co_x)_{89}Zr_{11}$ (x = 0~1.0) amorphous films. By means of two step field annealing at $195^{\circ}C$ for 10 minute in the magnetic field of 130 Oe, the MSAW device with x=0.4 film among the devices showed the superior velocity change of 0.1 %. This gigantic value was obtained in the DC bias field of 40 Oe at the exciting frequency of 8.7 MHz. It was confirmed that such behavior was due to the variation of differential permeability caused by an optimal stress within the magnetic film.
