This paper presents a systematic optimization process for designing an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester using FEA(finite element analysis) to improve computational accuracy and efficiency. A static FEA is used in the optimization process where trend analysis in a short period of time is rather important than precise computation, while a dynamic FEA is used in the verification step for the final result where precise computation is more important. An electromechanical transduction factor can be calculated efficiently by using an approach to use the radial component of magnetic flux density directly instead of an approach to compute the flux density gradient. The proposed optimization process was verified through a case study where simulation and experiment results were compared.

Recent cohort studies have relied on exposure prediction models to estimate individual-level air pollution concentrations because individual air pollution measurements are not available for cohort locations. For such prediction models, geographic variables related to pollution sources are important inputs. We demonstrated the computation process of geographic variables mostly recorded in 2010 at regulatory air pollution monitoring sites in South Korea. On the basis of previous studies, we finalized a list of 313 geographic variables related to air pollution sources in eight categories including traffic, demographic characteristics, land use, transportation facilities, physical geography, emissions, vegetation, and altitude. We then obtained data from different sources such as the Statistics Geographic Information Service and Korean Transport Database. After integrating all available data to a single database by matching coordinate systems and converting non-spatial data to spatial data, we computed geographic variables at 294 regulatory monitoring sites in South Korea. The data integration and variable computation were performed by using ArcGIS version 10.2 (ESRI Inc., Redlands, CA, USA). For traffic, we computed the distances to the nearest roads and the sums of road lengths within different sizes of circular buffers. In addition, we calculated the numbers of residents, households, housing buildings, companies, and employees within the buffers. The percentages of areas for different types of land use compared to total areas were calculated within the buffers. For transportation facilities and physical geography, we computed the distances to the closest public transportation depots and the boundary lines. The vegetation index and altitude were estimated at a given location by using satellite data. The summary statistics of geographic variables in Seoul across monitoring sites showed different patterns between urban background and urban roadside sites. This study provided practical knowledge on the computation process of geographic variables in South Korea, which will improve air pollution prediction models and contribute to subsequent health analyses.

터보부호는 디지털 이동통신 시스템에서 사용되는 오류정정 부호화 기법의 일종으로서 반복복호가 진행됨에 따라 AWGN 채널 환경에서 우수한 BER 성능을 나타낸다. 그러나 다양한 채널 환경에서 반복 횟수가 증가하면 복호하는데 필요한 지연시간과 계산량이 증가하는 단점을 가진다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 적절한 반복 후에 반복복호를 효율적으로 중단시킬 수 있는 중단조건이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 터보 복호기의 LLR 평균값으로부터 유도되는 잡음 분산값을 중단조건으로 이용하여 BER 성능의 손실없이 계산량과 평균 반복복호 횟수를 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 효율적인 반복중단 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘의 계산량은 기존 알고리즘과 비교하여 약 $66%{\sim}80%$ 정도 줄일 수 있었으며 평균 반복복호 횟수는 CE 알고리즘과 비교하여 약 $13.99%{\sim}15.74%$ 정도의 감소효과를 나타냈으며 SCR 알고리즘과 비교하여 약 $17.88%{\sim}18.59%$ 정도의 감소효과를 나타내었다.

This paper presents 3D graphics geometry processor for mobile applications. Geometry stage needs to cope with the large amount of computation. Geometry stage consists of transformation process and lighting process. To deal with computation in geometry stage, the vector processor that is based on pipeline chaining is proposed. The performance of proposed 3D graphics geometry processor is up to 4.3M vertex/sec at 100 MHz. Also, the designed processor is compliant with OpenGL ES that is widely used for standard API of embedded system. The proposed structure can be efficiently used in 3D graphics accelerator for mobile applications.

A new approach to the straightforward implementation of the unscented filter in a unit quaternion space is proposed for spacecraft attitude estimation. Since the unscented filter is formulated in a vector space and the unit quaternions do not belong to a vector space but lie on a nonlinear manifold, the weighted sum of quaternion samples does not produce a unit quaternion estimate. To overcome this difficulty, a method of weighted mean computation for quaternions is derived in rotational space, leading to a quaternion with unit norm. A quaternion multiplication is used for predicted covariance computation and quaternion update, which makes a quaternion in a filter lie in the unit quaternion space. Since the quaternion process noise increases the uncertainty in attitude orientation, modeling it either as the vector part of a quaternion or as a rotation vector is considered. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed approach successfully estimates spacecraft attitude for large initial errors and high tip-off rates, and modeling the quaternion process noise as a rotation vector is more optimal than handling it as the vector part of a quaternion.

The purpose of this study is to present the relationship between the computer learning and the paper and pencil learning through the math learning (simple computation and complex computation) and the cartoon learning and text learning. The canonical correlation and pairwise t-test of the SMR asymmetry brainwaves of the left and the right brain show the brainwaves with the respect to the manner in which they process information during the specified task by identifying the relative activity of the brainwaves of the left and the right brain. SMR brainwave which known as the scientific measure tool for the activity and the function of the neuronal cell were found to predict the level of the awakening to check the readiness of study preparation. Computer education as a medium of the individualized and the repetitive education shows the difference from the paper and the pencil test in the respect of the differences and the relationship of the SMR brainwave of the learning process.

In this paper, an empirical study result on pattern estimation method is devoted to reveal underlying data patterns with a relatively reduced computational cost. Presented method performs crisp type clustering with given n number of data samples by means of the sequential agglomerative hierarchical nested model (SAHN). Conventional SAHN based clustering requires large computation time in the initial step of algorithm. To deal with this concern, we modified overall process with a partial approach. In the beginning of this method, we divide given data set to several sub groups with uniform sampling and then each divided sub data group is applied to SAHN based method. The advantage of this method reduces computation time of original process and gives similar results. Proposed is applied to several test data set and simulation result with conceptual analysis is presented.

The governing equations for high-speed lateral atomizing injector nozzle flow based on the LES-VOF model in conjunction with the CSF model are presented, and then an integrated parallel computation are performed to clarify the detailed atomization process of a high speed nozzle flow and to acquire data which is difficult to confirm by experiment such as atomization length, liquid core shapes, droplets size distributions, spray angle and droplets velocity profiles. According to the present analysis, it is found that the atomization rate and the droplets-gas two-phase flow characteristics are controlled by the turbulence perturbation upstream of the injector nozzle, hydrodynamic instabilities at the gas-liquid interface, shear stresses between liquid core and periphery of the jet. Furthermore, stable and a high-resolution computation can be attained in the high density ratio (pl/ pg = 554) conditions conditions by using our numerical method.

동적채널할당 방식은 채널 이용 효율을 극대화시킬 수 있다는 장점은 있으나 채널을 최종적으로 가입자에게 할당 해주기 위해서는 여러 단계의 연산 과정을 수행해야 한다. 이로 인해 시스템 제어가 복잡해지고, 채널할당 시까지 필요로 하는 시간이 길어 전체 시스템 성능에 영향을 미치는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 동적채널할당 방식을 적용하고자 할 때 가장 문제가 되는 채널할당 시까지 필요로 하는 제어 단계를 단순화시킬 수 있는 트래픽 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다.
