This study, to reduce a ground vibration damage of the structures in an area adjacent to housing structures located closely above the tunnel section, is the ground vibration reduction instance of a tunnel blasting selectively applied the ground vibration-controlled blasting method (delay time applied blasting method, large center hole cut method, Line Drilling method, etc) with an originally planned blasting method connected, but with it's workability and economic efficiency is satisfactory, so, the results says the ground vibration-controlled blasting method on a similar condition is very effective, even if the applicability is depend on the blasting method and ground condition of the work area.

It is commonly believed that diseases of human or economic traits of livestock are caused not by single genes acting alone, but multiple genes interacting with one another. This issue is difficult due to the limitations of parametric-statistic methods of gene effects. So we introduce multifactor-dimensionality reduction(MDR) as a methods for reducing the dimensionality of multilocus information. The MDR method is nonparametric (i. e., no hypothesis about the value of a statistical parameter is made), model free (i. e., it assumes no particular inheritance model) and is directly applicable to case-control studies. Application of the MDR method revealed the best model with an interaction effect between the SNPs, SNP1 and SNP3, while only one main effect of SNP1 was statistically significant for LMA (p < 0.01) under a general linear mixed model.

Image noise reduction in the frequency domain by thresholding is simple, but quite effective. Wavelet domain thresholding has been an active area of research but relatively little work has been published on DCT domain denoising. A novel method for determining the hard threshold for the DCT domain denoising is proposed. The low amplitude DCT coefficients are discarded until the cumulative sum of the discarded signal energy is comparable to that of noise in each DCT block. Cycle spinning is also applied to reduce block artifacts. The proposed method is quite effective and simple enough to be used in portable devices.

An adaptive tracking controller is presented for the vibration reduction of flexible manipulator employed in hazardous area by combining input shaping technique with sliding-mode control. The combined approach appears to be robust in the presence of severe disturbance and unknown parameter which will be estimated by least-square method in real time. In a maneuver strategy, it is found that a hybrid trajectory with a combination of low frequency mode and rigid-body mode results in better performance and is more efficient than the traditional rigid body trajectory alone which many researchers have employed. The feasibility of the adaptive tracking control approach is demonstrated by applying it to the simplified model of robot system. For the applications of the proposed technique to realistic systems, several requirements are discussed such as control stability and large system order resulted from finite element modeling.

Hydraulic breakers are widely used for mining and construction engineering area but make serious noise problem. The noise is generated between a chisel and a piston when they are hit by a fluid power. This study proposed noise reduction method by the change of a chisel in a hydraulic breaker. In the new design, a different material is inserted inside of a chisel. The proposed design is analyzed and simulated by the use of a numerical method. A chisel by the new design was installed in a hydraulic breaker and experimented for sound pressure level. As a result, the noise of hydraulic breaker can be reduced more than 4 dB by simply changing a chisel.

Recently, demands for the reduction of noise generated by transformers have been increasing. Accordingly the noise of transformer occasion displeasing to residents therefore the transformer needs to decrease of noise. One method of reduction such a noise is to build a free-standing enclosure of concrete and steel plates around the transformer, however, this method has some disadvantages, for example, a lage area is needed for equipment installation. In the paper, the vibration and noise effect which is transferred from reinforce channel to insulation panel generated by transformer have been identified for the several kinds of insulation panel and damping sheet experimentally.

Detecting marker coordinates is important in augmented reality system based on tag. If a marker is not detected, objects can't be augmented. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction method for augmented reality. Using a blue color space to HIS color transformation was performed on the binary. Erosion operator and the dilation operator of the binary images were performed. Experimental results show that proposed method produces a tag image recognizable in various light environments. And using the area of the rectangle, the labeling could be detected through the tag. Tag recognition rate is improved by removing noise.

Rotary performance and flow resistance induced by each element in suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner with a double-blade rotary fan are investigated numerically and its relation with flow-induced noise and rotary performance is examined. Flow resistance and vorticity in suction nozzle are calculated and it is found that they are closely related with flow-induced noise. Gap between double blades, adoption of cross-flow fan, enlargement of flow inlet area, and optimization of blade number are tested for noise reduction. Finally, the effects of each method are verified experimentally. It is found that several combinations of the proposed methods can be adopted for noise reduction although the degree of reduction is not much.

This letter describes a compact printed helical resonator and its application to a microwave oscillator circuit implemented in coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology. The high quality (Q)-factor and spurious-free characteristic of the resonator contribute to the phase noise reduction and the harmonic suppression of the resulting oscillator circuit, respectively. The designed resonator showed a loaded Q-factor of 180 in a chip area of only 40% of the corresponding miniaturized hairpin resonator without any spurious resonances. The fully planar oscillator incorporated with this resonator showed an additional phase noise reduction of 10.5 dB at a 1 MHz offset and a second harmonic suppression enhancement of 6 dB when compared to those of a conventional CPW oscillator without the planar helical resonator structure.

Semiconductors performing digital clocking are a main source of radiated emission noise. Therefore, the most secure method of reducing emission noise is to reduce emission radiated from semiconductors; an application of an absorber to the surface of semiconductors is one of these methods, too. However, in reality, it is difficult to achieve as much effect of noise reduction as expected by using only absorber. It is confirmed by experiment in this paper that a loop area within chip has no correlation with radiated emission noise and it is clarified why the existing absorber fails to achieve a satisfactory effect of emission noise reduction. Besides, a new type of chip coating absorber has been developed which can cover up to semiconductor out lead by using ferrite coating material of ferrite/epoxy acrylate substance using only permeability loss out of electromagnetic wave reduction characteristics of materials. As a result of evaluating radiated emission noise by applying this coating absorber to semiconductor device, it could be confirmed that emission noise decreased from about 3 ㏈ up to 20㏈ depending on frequency.
