Due to the complexity of the structure and the limits of classical SEA, a combined SEA approach is employed, with angle-dependent SEA in the low- and mid-frequency ranges and advanced SEA (ASEA) considering indirect coupling in the high-frequency range. As an important component of the steel box girder, the dynamic response of an L-junction periodic ribbed plate is calculated first by the combined SEA and validated by the impact hammer test and finite element method (FEM). Results show that the indirect coupling due to the periodicity of stiffened plate is significant at high frequencies and may cause the error to reach 38.4 dB. Hence, the incident bending wave angle cannot be ignored in comparison to classical SEA. The combined SEA is then extended to investigate the vibration properties of the steel box girder. The bending wave transmission study is likewise carried out to gain further physical insight into indirect coupling. By comparison with FEM and classical SEA, this approach yields good accuracy for calculating the dynamic responses of the steel box girder made of periodic ribbed plates in a wide frequency range. Furthermore, the influences of some important parameters are discussed, and suggestions for vibration and noise control are provided.

본 논문에서는 잡음음성인식을 위한 데이터 기반의 향상된 Jacobian 적응 방식을 제안하였다. Jacobian 적응에서 필요로 하는 기준 HMM을 구성하기 위해서 기존에 주로 사용되던 모델결합 방식을 사용하는 대신에 잡음음성을 이용하여 직접 훈련하는 방식을 제안하였다. 이렇게 함으로서 기존의 방법에 비해서 잡음에 의한 음향모델의 변이를 보다 잘 처리할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다 제안된 방법에서는 Jacobian 행렬의 추정을 위해서 훈련과정에서 Baum-Welch 알고리듬을 사용하였다. 잡음음성에 대한 인식실험을 통해서 제안된 방식이 기존의 Jacobian 적응 방식 뿐 만 아니라 다른 형태의 모델적응 방식들에 비해서도 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

지표의 식생활력도를 간접적으로 반영하는 위성 기반의 식생지수 자료를 연속적으로 확보하기 위해 자료합성법이 통상적으로 적용된다. 이는 자료합성을 통해 누락 자료나 신호 오류의 영향을 최소화함으로써 장기적인 식생지수 자료 구축이 가능해지기 때문이다. 또, 합성주기에 따라 두 개 이상의 위성 센서로부터 같은 시점에 생성된 식생지수 자료를 상호교호적으로 사용할 경우, 식생지수 자료 축적의 연속성과 안정성을 보다 더 강화할 수 있다. 본 연구는 식물생장 연구에 있어 위성시스템 간 자료 호환 가능성뿐만 아니라 MODIS 자료 취득 조건, 즉 태양과 센서의 천정각이 미치는 영향을 센서 geometry 측면에서 파악하여 장기적인 식생모니터링을 위한 자료 구축 개선에 기여하고자 한다. 연구 기간 중 센서천정각의 변화는 일정한 패턴을 보이지 않았고, 연도별로 불규칙한 등락을 나타냈다. 또, 동일 계절별로 분석한 결과에서도 계절에 따른 특징적 경년변화 패턴은 나타나지 않았다. 두 가지 분석 대상 자료인 NDVI와 EVI를 비교했을 때, EVI가 NDVI에 비해 더 안정된 결과를 보여주었고, 전반적으로 중위도 지역 식물생장의 계절적 특성을 전형적으로 보여주었다. 식생피복에 따른 NDVI-EVI 간 상관관계는 모두 유효한 결과를 얻었으나, 식생피복별로 상관도 차이를 보였고 상호간에 선형 관계가 아닌 상단부에서 수렴되는 곡선 관계를 보여주었다. Terra와 Aqua 위성에 의해 오전과 오후에 각각 관측된 식생지수를 비교한 결과, 상관계수 범위는 NDVI의 경우 0.641-0.880로, EVI의 경우 0.747-0.963으로 나타나, NDVI자료에 비해 EVI자료의 호환성이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 두 센서 기반의 식생지수간 호환성 개선을 위해서는 두 자료 간의 회귀선으로부터 벗어나 있는 예외치에 대한 정밀한 분석이 과제로 남는다.

The air abrasive technique is a non-mechanical method by which teeth are treated before restoration and stains and calculi are removed from tooth surfaces using the kinetic energy of small particles. The air abrasive technique in dentistry was first introduced in the 1950's with as instrument called 'Airdent'. But, as the main restorative materials of the period were amalgam and gold, and the instrument's inability to control the flow of particles caused the particles to be spread throughout the clinics, widespread use was not possible. In the 1990's, as these techincal problems were solved and more interest in new restorative materials rose in an effort to preserve sound tooth structure, new developements took place in instruments related to the air abrasive technique. The air abrasive technique produces less pressure, vibration and heat that might cause patient discomfort and facilitates the preservation of sound tooth structure. It also reduces the need for anesthesia and is less harmful to the pulp. Other advantages include increase in dentin bonding strength of composite resin, lower possibility of saliva contamination and maintenance of a dry field. But there is not direct contact between the nozzle and the tooth, the operator cannot use his or her tactile sense and must rely solely upon visual input. Other disadvantages are: the tooth preparation depends on the operator's ability; alpha-alumina particles, after bouncing off the tooth surface, cause damage to dental mirrors; the equipment is expensive and takes up a certain amount of space in the clinic. The author conducted case report using the air abrasive technique on patient visiting the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Seoul National University Dental Hospital and arrived at the following conclusions. 1. The tooth preparation capability of different air abrasive devices varied widely among manufacturers. 2. It was more effective in treating early caries lesions and stains compared to lesions where caries had already progressed to produce soft dentin. 3. The cold stream and noise caused by the evacuation system was a major cause of discomfort to pediatric patients. 4. As there is no direct contact with tooth surface when using the air abrasive technique for tooth preparation, considerable experience and skill is required for proper tooth preparation.

Multi-layer ceramic capacitors as decoupling capacitor were fabricated by dielectric composition with a high dielectric constant. The fabricated decoupling capacitors were embedded in the PCB of the 10G RF transceiver module and evaluated for the characteristics of electrical noise by the level of AC input voltage. In order to further improve the electrical properties of the $BaTiO_3$ based composite, glass frit, MgO, $Y_2O_3$, $Mn_3O$, $V_2O_5$, $BaCO_3$, $SiO_2$, and $Al_2O_3$ were used as additives. The electrical properties of the composites were determined by various amounts of additives and optimum sintering temperature. As a result of the optimized composite, it was possible to obtain a density of $5.77g/cm^3$, a dielectric constant of 1994, and an insulation resistance of $2.91{\times}10^{12}{\Omega}$ at an additive content of 5wt% and a sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. After forming a $2.5{\mu}m$ green sheet using the doctor blade method, a total of 77 layers were laminated and sintered at $1180^{\circ}C$. A decoupling capacitor with a size of $0.6mm(W){\times}0.3mm(L){\times}0.3mm(T)$ (width, length and thickness, respectively) and a capacitance of 100 nF was embedded using a PCB process for the 10G RF Transceiver modules. In the range of AC input voltage 400mmV @ 500kHz to 2200mV @ 900kHz, the embedded 10G RF Transceiver modules evaluated that it has better electrical performance than the non-embedded modules.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the structural responses obtained from the stochastic analysis of a suspension bridge subjected to uniform and partially correlated seismic ground motions, using different spatial correlation functions commonly used in the earthquake engineering. The spatial correlation function employed in this study consists of a term that characterizes the loss of coherency. To account for the spatial variability of ground motions, the widely used four loss of coherency models in the literature has been taken into account in this study. Because each of these models has its own characteristics, it is intended to determine the sensitivity of a suspension bridge due to these losses of coherency models which represent the spatial variability of ground motions. Bosporus Suspension Bridge connects Europe to Asia in Istanbul is selected as a numerical example. The bridge has steel towers that are flexible, inclined hangers and a steel box-deck of 1074 m main span, with side spans of 231 and 255 m on the European and Asian sides, respectively. For the ground motion the filtered white noise model is considered and applied in the vertical direction, the intensity parameter of this model is obtained by using the S16E component of Pacoima Dam record of 1971 San Fernando earthquake. An analytically simple model called as filtered white noise ground motion model is chosen to represent the earthquake ground motion. When compared with the uniform ground motion case, the results obtained from the spatial variability models with partial correlation outline the necessity to include the spatial variability of ground motions in the stochastic dynamic analysis of suspension bridges. It is observed that while the largest response values are obtained for the model proposed by Harichandran and Vanmarcke, the model proposed by Uscinski produces the smallest responses among the considered partially correlated ground motion models. The response values obtained from the uniform ground motion case are usually smaller than those of the responses obtained from the partially correlated ground motion cases. While the response values at the flexible parts of the bridge are totally dominated by the dynamic component, the pseudo-static component also has significant contributions for the response values at the rigid parts of the bridge. The results also show the consistency of the spatial variability models, which have different characteristics, considered in this study.

이 연구는 남빙양(Southern Ocean)에서 나타나는 주된 전선(Front)들 중에 남극 극 전선(Antarctic Polar Front; PF)을 탐지하기 위하여 위성 기반 해수면 온도(sea surface temperature)와 해수면 고도(sea surface height) 자료를 복합적으로 사용하였다. 정확한 PF 탐지를 위하여 일별 SST와 SSH 자료를 각각 기반으로 하여 베이지안 결정 이론(Bayesian decision theory)을 적용하였으며, 이를 근거로 전선/비전선의 신호를 격자 별로 분류하였다. 이후, 시공간적인 합성을 통하여 일차적인 노이즈(noise) 제거 및 지리학적 연결성을 보완하였다. 그러나 이들 과정을 수행하고도 여전히 잔존하는 일부 노이즈를 제거하기 위하여 해빙 및 연안 마스킹(masking)을 수행하였다. 또한 모폴로지 연산(morphology operation)을 통하여 지류 성분을 최대한으로 배제하고 주된 전선 성분만을 추출하였다. 최종적으로 선택된 전선 격자 들에서 PF의 특징을 나타낼 수 있도록 가장 최남단의 전선만을 선택하여 평활 스플라인(smoothing spline) 최적화 방식을 통해 선 형태의 월별 PF를 산출하였다. 산출된 PF는 기존의 연구에서 제시한 PF의 위치와 상당히 유사한 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 바닥 지형에 따라 상당 부분 결정되는 PF의 변화를 잘 모사하는 것으로 보인다. 로스해 주변(${\sim}180^{\circ}W$)과 호주 이남의 해역($120^{\circ}E-140^{\circ}E$)은 PF의 위치에 대한 계절적 변동이 높게 나타나며, 그러한 변동이 기존에 제시된 결과와 상당히 유사한 경향을 지닌다. 그러므로 이 연구에서 산출된 PF의 위치에 대한 탐지 결과가 향후 장기적 관점에서 수행될 연구에 사용될 수 있는 가치를 지닐 것으로 기대한다.

Spatial heterogeneous characteristics of solar radiation energy from Climate Change gives rise to energy imbalance in the general ecological system including water resources. This study is to estimate the $CO_2$ flux of South Korea using Terra MODIS image and to assess the reliability of MODIS data from the ground measured $CO_2$ flux by eddy covariance flux tower data at 3 locations (two at mixed forest area and one at rice paddy area). The MODIS Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product (MOD17A2), 8-day composite at 1-km spatial resolution was adopted for the spatial $CO_2$ flux generation. The MOD17A2 data by noise like cloud and snow in a day were tried to fill by Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method from valid pixels and the damping effect of MOD17A2 data were corrected by Quality Control (QC) flag. The MODIS $CO_2$ flux was estimated as the sum of GPP and Re (ecosystem respiration) by Lloyd and Taylor method (1994). The determination coefficient ($R^2$) between MODIS $CO_2$ and flux tower $CO_2$ for 3 years (2011~2013) showed 0.55 and 0.60 in 2 mixed forests and 0.56 in rice paddy respectively. The $CO_2$ flux generally fluctuated showing minus values during summer rainy season (from July to August) and maintaining plus values for other periods. The MODIS $CO_2$ flux can be a useful information for extensive area, for example, as a reliable indicator on ecological circulation system.

A bandwidth-enhanced ultra-wide band (UWB) CMOS balun-LNA is implemented as a part of a software defined radio (SDR) receiver which supports multi-band and multi-standard. The proposed balun-LNA is composed of a single-to-differential converter, a differential-to-single voltage summer with inductive shunt peaking, a negative feedback network, and a differential output buffer with composite common-drain (CD) and common-source (CS) amplifiers. By feeding the single-ended output of the voltage summer to the input of the LNA through a feedback network, a wideband balun-LNA exploiting negative feedback is implemented. By adopting a source follower-based inductive shunt peaking, the proposed balun-LNA achieves a wider gain bandwidth. Two LNA design examples are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach. The LNA I adopts the CS amplifier with a common gate common source (CGCS) balun load as the S-to-D converter for high gain and low noise figure (NF) and the LNA II uses the differential amplifier with the ac-grounded second input terminal as the S-to-D converter for high second-order input-referred intercept point (IIP2). The 3 dB gain bandwidth of the proposed balun-LNA (LNA I) is above 5 GHz and the NF is below 4 dB from 100 MHz to 5 GHz. An average power gain of 18 dB and an IIP3 of -8 ~ -2 dBm are obtained. In simulation, IIP2 of the LNA II is at least 5 dB higher than that of the LNA I with same power consumption.

The Electromagnetic Interference(EMI) generating from corona discharge of transformer area can interference the digital Instrument and Control(I&C) systems located nearby transformers. When the potential gradient of the electric field around the conductor is high enough to form a conductive region but not high enough to cause electrical breakdown to nearby objects, the EMI of corona discharge emits with the conducted and radiated noise and it interferences the signals of the I&C systems. Since digital I&C systems have an efficiency and competitive price, the analog I&C systems have been upgraded and displaced with the digital I&C systems but which have less EMI Immunity. There was no assessment to I&C systems by EMI generating corona discharge nearby transformers. When the safety-related I&C systems are installed in plants, the verification of equipment EMI should be done not in site-specific test but in test facilities. There are the need to do the site-specific EMI evaluation of corona discharge nearby transformers. This paper assesses the margin between plant emission limits and the highest composite plant emission of corona. When the non safety-related I&C systems are placed in transformer area, it suggests the appropriate radiated susceptibility level to EMI of corona discharge.
