A new simple relation for the estimation of modal correlation coefficients is presented. It is obtained from the decomposition of covariances of modal responses into background and resonant contributions, as it is commonly done for the variances. Thanks to appropriate assumptions, the modal correlation coefficients are estimated as weighted sums of two limit values, corresponding to the background and resonant responses respectively. The weighting coefficients are expressed as functions of the background-to-resonant ratios, which makes the proposed formulation convenient and easily accessible. The simplicity of the mathematical formulation facilitates the physical interpretation. It is for example proved that modal correlation coefficients can be non negligable even in case of well separated natural frequencies, which is sometimes unclear in the litterature. The new relation is mainly efficient in case of large finite element models. It is applied and validated on a finite element buffeting analysis of the Viaduct of Millau, the highest bridge deck ever built so far.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the availability of acoustic emission method to the internal leak of the valves at nuclear power plants. The acoustic emission method was applied to the valves at the site, and the background noise was measured for the abnormal plant condition. From the comparison of the background noise data with the experimental results as to relation between leak flow and acoustic signal, the minimum leak flow rates that can be detected by acoustic signal was suggested. When the background levels are higher than the acoustic signal, the method described below was considered that the analysis the remainder among the background noise frequency spectrum and the acoustic signal spectrum become a very useful leak detection method. A few experimental examples of the spectrum analysis that varied the background noise characteristic were given.

본 논문은 스쿨존 영역의 교통 환경 분석을 위한 배경영상 추출 알고리즘을 제안하고 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 교통 환경에서 수시로 발생되는 밝기 변화와 정지 객체에 의한 문제를 해결하고 있다. 전자를 위해 고속 Sigma-Delta 알고리즘을 이용해 배경영상을 현 프레임으로 고속 갱신하고, 후자를 위해 직전 프레임과 오랜 시간의 평균 배경영상을 이용해 동적 영역을 검출하여 정지 객체를 배경영상에서 배제한다. 실험 결과 제안된 알고리즘은 기존 알고리즘들과 비교하여 밝기 변화에 빠르게 잘 적응하고 있고, 배경영역의 SAD (Sum of Absolute Differences)를 약40~80% 정도를 줄여주고 있다.

에너지 분산형 X-선 형광(EDXRF) 분석에서 X-선 스펙트럼에 존재하는 컨티넘(continuum)의 추정 및 제거는 필수적이다. 이를 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 알고리즘들은 많은 주의가 필요하며 복잡하다. 보통 이 알고리즘들은 제약적이거나 컨티넘의 데이터나 모양에 대한 가설을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 에너지 분산형 X-선 형광 스펙트럼을 위한 효율적인 배경(background) 보정 방법은 배경 모델링과 배경 보정으로 구성된다. 이 방법은 스펙트럼에서 백그라운드영역과 피크영역을 구분하는 기본 개념을 기반으로 하며 성능향상을 위하여 SNIP알고리즘을 사용한다. 스펙트럼으로부터 배경에 속하는 점들을 획득한 후 이를 기반으로 곡선 근사화를 통해 배경을 모델링한다. 이후 획득된 배경 모델을 원 스펙트럼에서 뺌으로써 배경이 보정된 스펙트럼을 얻는다. 제안된 방법은 상대적으로 적은 사전 지식을 요구하면서 기존의 몇몇 방법들에 비해 우수한 결과를 보여주었다.

The purpose of this study is to find a mother's influence on her children regarding environmental preservation. The questions of this study are how a mother's background variables influence on their own behaviors, how the children's background variables influences on their own behaviors, how a mother's background variables influence on their children behaviors. This is used self-writing questionaires the 538 subjects are 4th, 5th and 6th grade children and their mothers living in Kwangiu, in June, 1998. The data are analyzed by Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Pearson's correlation, Regression analysis, Path analysis, Coronbach'$\alpha$ coefficent, and Factor analysis. These are the major resets of this study. 1) In case of mothers, the background variables for them to be influenced the environmental presentation behaviors show the frequency of contact for environmental information, average income, family cohesions, the level of communication, egoistic orientation, and age. 2) In Children, the background variables which are influenced on their environmental presentation behaviors represent the frequency of contact for environmental information, family cohesion, biospheric orientation, and the grade level of children. This is, the children who have the more chance of environmental information contact, the higher family cohesion, the higher biospheric orientation, and the lower grade level show the more environmental preservation behaviors. 3) The children who grow seeing their mothers'environmental behaviors such as sorted disposal, recycle behavior, and purchasing behaviors also show the more same behaviors.

In this paper, we carry out a performance analysis of a two-user free-space optical (FSO) communication system with photodetector multiplexing, in which the two users are defined as the primary user (PU) and secondary user (SU). Unlike common single-user FSO systems, our photodetector multiplexing FSO system deploys a shared detector at the receiver and enables PU and SU to send their own data synchronously. We conduct the performance analysis of this FSO system for two cases: (1) in the absence of background radiation, and (2) in the presence of background radiation. Decision strategies for PU and SU are presented according to the two scenarios above. Exact and approximate conditional symbol-error probability (SEP) expressions for both PU and SU are derived, in an ideal channel with no fading. Average SEP expressions are also presented in the no-background-radiation scenario. Additionally, in some particular cases where the power ratio tends to 0.5 or 1, approximate SEP expressions are also obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are presented under different conditions, to support the performance analysis.

본 논문은 조영 영상에서 유동적인 배경의 텍스쳐 분석을 통한 DSA(Digital subtraction Angiography: 디지털 혈관조영술)기반의 관상동맥 검출방법에 대해 기술한다. DSA 방법은 조영제를 투입하기 전에 촬영된 마스크 영상과 조영제 투입 후의 혈관 대비가 나타나는 라이브 영상과의 차이를 이용하여 빠르게 혈관 영역만을 검출하는 방법이다. 이 방법의 큰 단점은 배경의 움직임에 민감하고, 두 영상간의 지역적인 배경 명암 분포의 변화에 따라 오검출이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배경 텍스쳐의 유사도를 분석하여 움직임의 차이가 가장 작은 영상을 선택함으로써 배경의 움직임으로 인한 구조적인 문제를 해결하고, 선택된 영상의 지역적 명암 보정을 통해 혈관 영역만을 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과에서는 성능 평가를 위하여 다섯 환자의 임상 관상동맥 조영 영상을 사용 하였다. 제안하는 방법은 기존의 방법보다 배경을 혈관으로 인식하는 오 인식률에서 약 $2\%$정도의 안정적인 결과를 보여주며, 정확도는 증가하였음을 알 수 있다.

When we measure a source signal in the presence of a background rate that has been independently measured, the usual approach is to obtain an estimate of the background rate by observing an empty part of the sky, and an estimate of the source signal plus background rate by observing the region where a source signal is expected. The source signal rate is then estimated by subtracting the background rate from the source signal plus background rate. However, when the rates or their observation times are small, this procedure can lead to negative estimates of the source signal rate, even when it should produce a positive value. By applying the Bayesian approach, we solve the problem and prove that the most probable value of source signal rate is zero when the observed total count is smaller than the expected background counts. It is also shown that the results from the conventional method is consistent with the most probable value obtained from the Bayesian approach when the source signal is large or the observation time is long enough.

This study examined consumer responses of photos used in Internet shopping malls. The content analysis conducted a preliminary study of the top 100 online shopping malls to investigate current website practices. Stimuli based on the preliminary study. The present study was a $2{\times}2$ factorial design that evaluated two independent variables of product presentation and background. We analyzed 410 responses derived from the descriptive analysis, factor analysis, and covariance analysis through SPSS 20.0. The results showed that a product presentation was significantly different in attractiveness, informativeness, satisfaction, and repurchase intention after controlling apparel items and model. This product presentation in everyday life had greater mean values than product presentation with the posing model. The background had a significant mean difference in all consumer responses expect for attractiveness. Overall product presentation in everyday life and indoor cases were evaluated as most positive by the respondents. The findings provide practical implications for online shopping malls integrating product presentation.

In this paper the harmonic degrees between $\alpha$ wave and $\beta$ wave in visual evoked potential are analyzed by the bicoherence. The bicoherence analysis is based on an AR model which provides significantly better resolution than that of Fourier transform. The analysis results of visual evoked pope ntial are compared with the analysis results of background EEC. From the comparison results it is found that the harmonic degree of visual evoked potential is less than she harmonic degree of background EEG and the $\beta$ wave of visual evoke potential unlike the background EEC contains the non harmonic property of a wave more than the harmonic properity
