Cox's proportional hazards model (PHM) has been widely applied in the analysis of lifetime data, and it can be characterized by the baseline hazard function and covariates influencing systems' lifetime, where the covariates describe operating environments (e.g. temperature, pressure, humidity). In this article, we consider the constant baseline hazard function and a discrete random variable of a covariate. The estimation procedure is developed in a parametric framework when there are not only complete data but also incomplete one. The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is employed to handle the incomplete data problem. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the accuracy and some properties of the estimation results.

Recently reported asynchronous-optical-sampling terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy enables high-resolution spectroscopy due to a long time-delay window. However, a long-lasting tail signal following the main pulse is often measured in a time-domain waveform, resulting in spectral fluctuation above a background noise level on a high-resolution THz amplitude spectrum. Here, we adopt the wavelet power spectrum estimation technique (WPSET) to effectively remove the spectral fluctuation without sacrificing spectral features. Effectiveness of the WPSET is verified by investigating a transmission spectrum of water vapor.

Authors have selected a physiological bad breath patient( 62 years old, male ) among the bad breath outpatients who have visited the halitosis control clinic in Korea University Medical Center(KUMC). The patient visited the halitosis control clinic for his oral malodor control, 3 times from April to June in 2018, and in August the patient visited to KUMC malodor control clinic again for his assessment of his two months efforts. Getting the data about the patient's endeavor to get over his physiologic oral malodor and the estimation of the patient's satisfaction level at his oral malodor improvement by a questionnaire method, and the organoleptic level assessment by the dentist, then we could propose an estimation method of the physiologic oral malodor patient care prognosis.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have recently been in the spotlight and have been rapidly developed to reduce the carbon emission with respect to the transport sector. Most EVs currently employ lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as power sources because they have a higher energy density and a lower self-discharge than other batteries. However, the LIBs cannot respond to high power demands when the state of health (SOH) falls below 80%. Therefore, the SOH of the LIBs must be accurately measured or estimated. To date, many methods have been studied and proposed for measuring or estimating the SOH. In this paper, representative methods among them are reclassified and introduced.

서로 다른 프레임 율을 가진 영상매체 사이의 프레임 호환을 위해, 움직임 추정 (motion estimation, ME)과 움직임 보상을 이용한 중간 영상 삽입 (합성) 기법 (motion compensated interpolation, MCI)이 활용되는데, 본 논문에서는 MCI에 적합한 움직임 추정기법을 제안하고, 제안한 움직임 추정 기법을 종래의 MCI에 적용한다. 종래의 방법에선 움직임 추정 블록과 MCI 블록의 크기가 동일하나, 본 논문에서 사용된 움직임 추정 블록은 MCI 블록과 같은 중심 축을 가지고, MCI 블록보다 더 크기 때문에 인접 블록과 중첩된 특성을 가진다. 제안한 움직임 추정 블록에 의한 계산량 증가를 줄이기 위해, 제안한 움직임 추정 블록내의 화소를 샘플링 하여 움직임 추정을 실행하였다. 제안한 방식을 검증하기 위해, 움직임 추정 블록을 다양한 샘플 계수로 샘플링 한 후 움직임 추정을 실행하였다. 제안한 방식으로 추정된 움직임 벡터 (motion vector, MV)를 활용하여 MCI를 수행하였으며, 수행된 결과를 종래의 방식에 의한 결과와 비교하였다.

Notion sickness is well known to be caused by long time exposure to the very low frequency motion in the multiple axes of human body Since the vestibular system for the perception of low frequency motion is located in the head, accurate measurement of 6 degree of freedom head motion is of great importance. In this study, the measurement system consisting of a safety helmet and 9 translational accelerometers was constructed for the estimation of 3 translational and 3 rotational motions of human head. Since estimation errors of 3 rotational components can be significantly magnified even by small offset of the sensitivity axis from the geometric center of an accelerometer, accurate measurement of sensitivity axis must be preceded. The method for accurate estimation of the offset was proposed, and the effect of offset on the estimation of angular acceleration was investigated.

In this paper, we propose target range estimation method using ghost target in the submarine linear array sonar. Usually, when submarine detect target, they use passive sonar detection to avoid self-disclosure by active sonar transmission. But, originally, passive linear array sonar have limitation for target range estimation and additional processing is required to get target range information. For the case of near-field target, typical range estimation method is using multiple information by multipath effect in underwater environment. Acoustic signal generated from target are propagated along with numerous multipath in underwater environment. Since multipath target signals received in the linear array sonar have different conic angles each other, ghost target is appeared at the bearing different with real target bearing and sonar operator can find these information on the operation console. Under several assumption, this geometric properties can be analysed mathematically and we get the target range by derivation of this geometric equations using measured conic angles of real target and ghost target.

The VSA(Video Signal Analysis) method is the time-domain approach for estimating ultrasonic attenuation which utilizes the envelop signals from backscattered rf signals. The echogenicity of backscattered ultrasonic signals, however, from deeper depths are distorted when the broadband transmit pulse is used and it degrades the estimation accuracy of attenuation coefficients. We propose the modified VSA method using adaptive bandpass filters according to the centroid shift of echo signals as a pulse propagates. The technique of dual-reference diffraction compensation is also proposed to minimize the estimation errors because the difference of attenuation properties between the reference and sample aggravates the estimation accuracy when the differences are accumulated in deeper depth. The proposed techniques minimize the distortion of relative echogenicity and maximize the signal-to-noise ratio at the given depth. Simulation results for numerical tissue-mimicking phantoms show that the Rectangular-shaped filter with the appropriate center frequency exhibits the best estimation performance and the technique of the dual-reference diffraction compensation dramatically improves accuracy for the region after the beam focus.

지진위험평가를 위해 감쇄함수의 민감도를 분석하였으며 FEMA(USA)에 의해 개발된 HAZUS software를 사용하였다. 시나리오 지진은 과거 1978년 홍성지역에서 발생된 피해지진을 감안하여 홍성군지역 내에서 $M_w$ 6.0으로 설정하였으며 연구지역은 충남 보령시를 대상으로 지진피해를 평가하였다. 지진위험평가시 감쇄함수를 3가지로 분류하여 수행한 결과 여러 유형의 건물에서 지진피해에 많은 영향이 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 감쇄함수는 지진위험평가에 있어서 매우 중요한 요소라 판단된다.

The objective of this work is to estimate the temperature dependent thermal properties of the APC-2 composite using a inverse parameter estimation technique. The present inverse method features the estimation of the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity, which are dependent on the temperature inside the composite. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity is directionally dependent because of the aniosotropy of the composite. An on-line temperature measurement system with a suitable method of heating is built. A composite slab is fabricated using thermoplastic prepreg for the investigation. The corresponding computer code for evaluating the thermal properties inversely using the temperature reading transmitted from the measurement system is developed. The parameterized form is used for the rapid and stable estimation. The modified Newtons method is adopted for the solution technique of the inverse analysis. The estimated results are compared with the measured data from a previous study for the verification.
