최근 이상기후현상으로 지구상의 여러 지역에서 극치 수문 사상의 발생 빈도와 강도가 날로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 대해 수공구조물의 설계를 위한 극치강우사상의 빈도해석에 있어서 적절한 확률분포모형의 적용은 매우 중요하다. 이에 수문통계분야에서는 generalized extreme value(GEV), generalized logistic(GLO), Gumbel(GUM) 모형과 같은 극치 분포를 이용한 수문통계적 특성에 대한 접근이 주로 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 우리나라 강우 사상의 경우 GEV 분포와 GUM 분포가 비교적 적합한 것으로 알려져 있지만 하나의 형상매개변수를 가지고 있어 분포 모형이 표현할 수 있는 통계적 특성에 한계를 가지고 있다. 기존의 GEV나 GUM분포로는 적절히 재현되지 않는 자료들을 분석하기 위해서 두 개의 형상매개변수를 가지는 분포형에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 두 개의 형상매개변수를 가지는 Burr XII 분포형의 우리나라 극한 강우자료에 대한 적용성을 평가하였다. Burr XII 분포형은 gamma나 exponential 분포 모형처럼 양의 확률변수만을 가지고, Cauchy나 Pareto 분포 모형처럼 두꺼운 꼬리(heavy-tailed distribution) 형상을 나타내기 때문에 비교적 큰 확률변수가 빈번히 나타나는 극치사상에도 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이를 위해 Burr XII 분포 모형을 이용하여 우리나라 강우자료에 대해 지점빈도해석 및 지역빈도해석을 수행하고 우리나라 강우자료에 비교적 적합하다고 알려진 분포인 GEV, GLO, GUM 분포형을 통해 산정된 결과와 비교하였다.

An analysis of a pyroprocessing safeguards methodology employing the Pu-to-$^{244}Cm$ ratio is presented. The analysis includes characterization of representative used nuclear fuel assemblies with respect to computed nuclide composition. The nuclide composition data computationally generated is appropriately reformatted to correspond with the material conditions after each step in the head-end stage of pyroprocessing. Uncertainty in the Pu-to-$^{244}Cm$ ratio is evaluated using the Geary-Hinkley transformation method. This is because the Pu-to-$^{244}Cm$ ratio is a Cauchy distribution since it is the ratio of two normally distributed random variables. The calculated uncertainty of the Pu-to-$^{244}Cm$ ratio is propagated through the mass flow stream in the pyroprocessing steps. Finally, the probability of Type-I error for the plutonium Material Unaccounted For (MUF) is evaluated by the hypothesis testing method as a function of the sizes of powder particles and granules, which are dominant parameters to determine the sample size. The results show the probability of Type-I error is occasionally greater than 5%. However, increasing granule sample sizes could surmount the weakness of material accounting because of the non-uniformity of nuclide composition.

A meshless technique using the geometric conservation least-squares method (GC-LSM) was devised to discretize the governing equation of linear elasticity. Although the finite-element method is widely used for structural analysis, a meshless method was developed because of its advantages in a moving grid system. This work is the preliminary phase for developing a fully meshless-based fluid-structure interaction solver. In this study, Cauchy's momentum equation was discretized in strong form using GC-LSM for the structural domain, and the Newmark beta method was used for time integration. The solver was validated in 1D, 2D, and 3D benchmarking problems. Static and dynamic results were obtained. The results are more accurate than those of analytic solutions.

In the present paper, multiple interface cracks between a functionally graded orthotropic coating and an orthotropic half-plane substrate under concentrated loading are considered by means of the distribution dislocation technique (DDT). With the use of integration of Fourier transform the problem is reduced to a system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations which are solved numerically to compute the dislocation density on the surfaces of the cracks. The distribution dislocation is a powerful method to calculate accurate solutions to plane crack problems, especially this method is very good to find SIFs for multiple unequal cracks located at the interface. Hence this technique allows considering any number of interface cracks. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of the interaction of multiple interface cracks, load location, material orthotropy, nonhomogeneity parameters and geometry parameters on the modes I and II SIFs. Numerical results show that modes I/II SIFs decrease with increasing the nonhomogeneity parameter and the highest magnitude of SIF occurs where distances between the load location and crack tips are minimal.

In this work further optical and electrical investigations of pure and Zr doped $Mn_3O_4$ (from 0 up to 20 at.%) thin films as a function of frequency. First, the refractive index, the extinction coefficient and the dielectric constants in terms of Zr content are reached from transmittance and reflectance data. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed by means of Cauchy model and Wemple and DiDomenico single oscillator models. By exploiting these results, it was possible to estimate the plasma pulse ${\omega}_p$, the relaxation time ${\tau}$ and the dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_{\infty}$. Second, we have performed original ac and dc conductivity studies inspired from Jonscher model and Arrhenius law. These studies helped establishing significant correlation between temperature, activation energy and Zr content. From the spectroscopy impedance analysis, we investigated the frequency relaxation phenomenon and hopping mechanisms of such thin films. Moreover, a special emphasis has been putted on the effect of the oxidation in air of hausmannite thin films to form $Mn_2O_3$ ones at $350^{\circ}C$. This intrigue phenomenon which occurred at such temperature is discussed along with this electrical study. Finally, all results have been discussed in terms of the thermal activation energies which were determined with two methods for both undoped and Zr doped $Mn_3O_4$ thin films in two temperature ranges.

The growth characteristics and properties of large size $SrAlF_5$ single crystals are described and compared with those of $BaMgF_4$. Transmission spectra in the vacuum ultraviolet wavelength region indicate a high transparency of $SrAlF_5$ (about 90% without considering surface reflection loses) down to 150 nm, on contrast to the optical loses observed for $BaMgF_4$. The ferroelectric character of $SrAlF_5$ is evidenced by the reversal of the spontaneous polarization in a hysteresis loop. The higher potential of $SrAlF_5$ in comparison with $BaMgF_4$ for the realization of all-solid-state lasers in the ultraviolet wavelength region by the quasi-phase matching (QPM) technique is pointed out. $SrAlF_5$, besides a higher grade of transparency, shows a nonlinear effective coefficient similar to that of quartz and uniaxial nature, on contrast to the one order smaller nonlinear coefficient and biaxial character of $BaMgF_4$. The refractive index of $SrAlF_5$ from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared wavelength region is measured by the minimum deviation method. The Sellmeier and Cauchy coefficients are obtained from the fits to the curves of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices, and the grating period for the first order QPM is estimated as a function of the wavelength. The poling periodicity for 193 nm SHG from 386 nm is $4{\mu}m$.

This paper presents a study on Neural Networks for Phoneme Recognition and performs the Phoneme Recognition using TDNN (Time Delay Neural Network). Also, this paper proposes training algorithm for speech recognition using neural nets that is a proper to large scale TDNN. Because Phoneme Recognition is indispensable for continuous speech recognition, this paper uses TDNN to get accurate recognition result of phonemes. And this paper proposes new training algorithm that can converge TDNN to an optimal state regardless of the number of phonemes to be recognized. The recognition experiment was performed with new training algorithm for TDNN that combines backpropagation and Cauchy algorithm using stochastic approach. The results of the recognition experiment for three phoneme classes for two speakers show the recognition rates of $98.1\%$. And this paper yielded that the proposed algorithm is an efficient method for higher performance recognition and more reduced convergence time than TDNN.

Until the 1950s, linear algebra was considered only as one of abstract and advanced mathematics subject among in graduate mathematics courses, mainly dealing with module in algebra. Since the 1960s, it has been a main subject in undergraduate mathematics education because matrices has been used all over. In Korea, it was considered as a course only for mathematics major students until 1980s. However, now it is a subject for all undergraduate students including natural science, engineering, social science since 1990s. In this paper, we investigate the early history of linear algebra and its development from a historical perspective and mathematicians who made contributions. Secondly, we explain why linear algebra became so popular in college mathematics education in the late 20th century. Contributions of Chinese and H. Grassmann will be extensively examined with many newly discovered facts.

This paper dealt with the application of a numerical method developed by the authors using the matching method proposed in the previous paper on "The Nonlinear motions of cylinders(I)[16]", and Cauchy's theorem to the problems associated with hydrodynamic forces acting on a heaving cylinders translating in a calm water and also motions of cylinders in waves. In spectral method. body boundary condition in submerged case is satisfied exactly but one in floating case is not satisfied exactly. In the numerical code developed here, the boundary condition at the free-surface and body surface is satisfied exactly at its instaneous position. It is of interest to note that the present scheme could be applied to a free-surface-piercing body without experiencing a difficulty in the numerical convergence. The computed results are compared with other results([6], [12]).

In this paper, a random number generator for simulation of speech-waveform coders was designed. A random number generator having a desired probability density function and a desired power spectral density is discussed and experimental results are presented. The technique is based on Sondhi algorithm which consists of a linear filter and a memoryless nonlinearity. Several methods of obtaining memoryless nonlinearities for some typical continuous distributions are discussed. Sondhi algorithm is analyzed in the time domain using the diagonal expansion of the bivariate Gaussian probability density function. It is shown that the Sondhi algorithm gives satisfactory results when the memoryless nonlinearity is given in an antisymmetric form as in uniform, Cauchy, binary and gamma distribution. It is shown that the Sondhi algorithm does not perform well when the corresponding memoryless nonlinearity cannot be obtained analytically as in Student-t and F distributions, and when the memoryless nonlinearity can not be expressed in an antisymmetric form as in chi-squared and lognormal distributions.
